The Second Brigade never appeared!

Yuan Zuming took his own guards and held on to the death with the First Brigade. The 6th Brigade on the flank, under the powerful offensive of Ding[***], had been routed and retreated in the direction of Guiyang.

Now in the entire Kaiyang battlefield, only the First Brigade and a temporarily gathered defeated army remained.

"Commander-in-chief, no, no!" Zhang Chunpu shouted loudly: "The Second Brigade will not come, it will not come, commander-in-chief, withdraw quickly!" ”

"Zhang Chunpu!" Yuan Zuming's voice suddenly raised: "I am the commander-in-chief, I have not given an order, not a single soldier is allowed to retreat, and I will die on the battlefield if I die!" ”

Finding that his voice was a little harsher, Yuan Zuming calmed down slightly: "Chunpu, the main elite of the Guizhou army are concentrated here, and Guiyang has no defense at all. Hold on one more day, hold on one more day! ”

Yuan Zuming's insistence made Zhang Chunpu shake his head helplessly

"Overseer, why are you here?"

Seeing that Wang Hengyue suddenly appeared on the battlefield, Liu Zhaocheng was stunned.

"I'll see how you're doing." Wang Hengyue took the telescope and looked forward for a while: "Whose troops are that?" ”

"It is the first brigade of the Guizhou army personally commanded by Yuan Zuming, the former commander-in-chief of the Guizhou army." Liu Zhaocheng hurriedly said: "Overseer, now that most of the enemy in Kaiyang has been defeated, there is only one First Brigade left. The reason why Yuan Zuming stuck here is because Guiyang is dragging time, I suggest leaving a force to continue to annihilate the First Brigade, and the rest of the main force will go straight to Guiyang! ”

"Yes, I've already ordered it." Wang Hengyue nodded: "At the same time, I am ready to send you as the avant-garde brigade to go straight to Guiyang!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zhaocheng replied cleanly.

"But how are you going to fight when you arrive in Guiyang?"

Liu Zhaocheng seems to have thought about it a long time ago: "I am going to block the east gate of Guiyang first, forcing the Guizhou army to retreat in the city, and then"

"That's not right." Wang Hengyue said suddenly.

"Isn't that right?" Liu Zhaocheng didn't quite understand.

Wang Hengyue said lightly: "If you do this, the Qianjun will have a way to live."

Liu Zhaocheng thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "The meaning of the overseer is to lead the Qianjun to Yunnan?" ”

Wang Hengyue was a little surprised, and his face was not bright: "Why should I lead the Qianjun to Yunnan?" ”

"First, to find an excuse to crusade against Yunnan, and secondly" Liu Zhaocheng glanced at Wang Hengyue, and lowered his voice: "Second, the entry of the Guizhou army into Yunnan can enhance the strength of the Yunnan army, block the Gui army, and prevent Yunnan from falling into the hands of Lu Rongting." In times of crisis, the two armies of Yunnan and Guizhou will inevitably work together, but only when the crisis is over, the Guizhou army, which has lost its own territory, will inevitably cause trouble in Yunnan, and then the two armies of Yunnan and Guizhou, which were originally united, will start infighting.

"That's what gave me a chance." Wang Hengyue smiled and helped him continue: "Zhaocheng, go, go to Guiyang, you already understand what I mean, do what you want"

"Yes!" Liu Zhaocheng gave a military salute dignifiedly

Yuan Zuming was already desperate.

Ding [***] didn't fall for himself at all, and didn't want to entangle with himself in Kaiyang at all, but only left the strength of two brigades, constantly attacking and attacking himself, and the remaining brigades had already bypassed the position and developed towards Guiyang!

It's over, it's all over!

With Guiyang's current defensive strength, it is impossible to stop Ding[***].

"Hu Ying, Hu Ying" Yuan Zuming kept calling this name, if he could get out alive this time, he would definitely shoot this brute who couldn't be saved when he saw death!

Now that the First Brigade wants to retreat, there is nowhere to retreat, and it is certain that [***] has cut off the way to retreat.

The only way is to fight to the death here!

Glancing back at his brothers, they were already very tired. One by one, they sat listlessly in the position, their eyes closed, and seemed to be asleep.

Yuan Zuming sighed.

"Commander-in-chief, is this battle going on?" A soldier asked timidly.

"Come, come here." Yuan Zuming let the soldier sit beside him: "We can't beat [***], but we still have to fight, because behind us is Guiyang, and we have to hold here no matter what."

The soldier was a little strange: "But so many troops have lost in Kaiyang, can Guiyang still hold it?" ”

Yuan Zuming was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

The gunshots rang out, and Ding [***] started the attack again, which can be regarded as relieving Yuan Zuming.

"Brothers, get into position and get ready for battle!" Yuan Zuming called loudly.

The gunfire spread densely on the battlefield, and at this time, for the Qian army, the battle was already mechanical and numb.

They don't care if this battle can be won or not, it has nothing to do with them at all, the reason why they continue to fight here is entirely because it is the order of the commander-in-chief.

At the very least, the commander-in-chief is here to fight alongside him

The gunshots on the left were particularly sparse, which made Yuan Zuming a little strange. Could it be that [***] concentrated the main forces on himself, regardless of Zhang Chunpu?

"Commander-in-chief, it's terrible, it's terrible, Brigade Commander Zhang and his men have surrendered!"

This shout hit Yuan Zuming's head like a thunderbolt.

Surrendered, another surrendered

In fact, Zhang Chunpu can't be blamed for this, the battle has been fought like this, there is no hope for victory, and there is no meaning. Zhang Chunpu has been able to persist until now, and he can be regarded as fulfilling his duty as a soldier

"Commander-in-Chief!"

On the opposite side of the position, Zhang Chunpu's voice with an iron horn was heard:

"Stop fighting, there is no hope, Wang Overseer promised me that as long as you can surrender, I will guarantee your life and that of your brothers. Commander-in-chief, for the sake of the brethren, surrender! ”

Yuan Zuming found that he didn't blame Zhang Chunpu at all.

He looked back at his soldiers: "Brothers, you have all heard, if you want to surrender, go ahead, leave your life, it doesn't matter!" ”

The soldiers hesitated, and then one of the soldiers stood up and walked slowly towards the outside of the position with his hands raised, and then, another, another

Most of the soldiers walked out, and no one moved since

Yuan Zuming looked to the side, and all he left behind were his guards. He nodded, and there were a hundred or so of them. Yuan Zuming's heart was bleeding.

In the vigorous Kaiyang decisive battle, there are only more than 100 people left until now!

Ding [***], Wang Hengyue!

Yuan Zuming reluctantly squeezed out a smile that looked relaxed: "Aren't you all leaving?" ”

"Commander-in-chief, we are your people in life, and your ghosts in death!"

It was Yuan Zuming's guard captain Geng Sanshan who spoke!

This person used to be a bandit, and then he was co-opted, Yuan Zuming saw him with a kung fu, so he left him by his side as the captain of the guard, but he didn't expect that when the regular army was dispersed, only this bandit remained.

"Good!" Yuan Zuming raised his voice: "Since the brothers are willing to stay here, then I, Yuan Zuming, will take you to fight to the end!" ”

Knowing that no one would surrender again, after a short period of dreary, he reorganized the army and slowly pressed up.

This is already his last battle!

Yuan Zuming put the gun on the position:

"Brothers, let's go on the road together!"

The gunfire stopped, and there was no sound from the position.

Yuan Zuming opened his eyes with difficulty, he was in pain all over, and he didn't know where the injury was.

In the bloody eyes, he saw that his guard captain Geng Sanshan was desperately fighting for his life with the enemy.

He bravely cut down one enemy, and then another, and he himself was stabbed with several bayonets.

But Geng Sanshan is still desperate, as long as there is still a breath left, he has to protect his commander-in-chief.

Geng Sanshan finally fell, covered in blood, and his mouth was constantly spitting blood.

Yuan Zuming saw that Geng Sanshan's dying eyes looked at him, and then seemed to smile at him, his body moved for a while, and then he didn't move at all

"Three Mountains" Yuan Zuming made a sad call.

In the darkness, he saw a tall figure appear in front of him, and then squatted down: "Yuan Zuming? ”

Yuan Zuming nodded with difficulty.

"I am the Sichuan Overseer, Wang Hengyue, the commander-in-chief of the Dingguo Rebel Army." The man introduced himself.

Wang Hengyue? This person is Wang Hengyue! Yuan Zuming finally met his opponent.

"You're brave, really, very brave." Wang Hengyue's voice was filled with some regret: "You shouldn't have died, I still want to use you well." ”

Yuan Zuming smiled: "Wang Dujun, I beg you for one thing." ”

"Say!"

"Treat the people of Guizhou well, the war is a matter between us, and it has nothing to do with them."

Wang Hengyue nodded without hesitation: "I promise you, I will not harm innocent people, as long as I am here, Guizhou can live a peaceful life!" ”

"Thank you, thank you"

After Yuan Zuming said this, he swallowed his last breath.

Yuan Zuming, known as Dingqing, is a native of Wutai, Longguang Town, Anlong County, Guizhou. He is tall and strong, short-sighted, white-skinned, likes to have a golden mustache, and has the nickname of "General with a silver face and a golden beard".

Yuan Zuming has a good strategy for governing the army, not only to make him fearful of the law, but also to feel the righteousness, and the officers and soldiers he led are afraid of its prestige and sense of righteousness, so he is willing to serve it. Whenever there was a battle, Yuan Zuming always went to the front line to boost morale.

He set up pickets in the army, but whenever the troops moved, the pickets would then check the enforcement of discipline and report it to the camp at the time of camping, and if there was any violation of military discipline, their commanders would be instructed to punish them severely.

But this soldier, who had a high prestige in the Guizhou army, fell on the Kaiyang battlefield like this!
