Chapter 129: Collapse
The second battalion of the 66th standard of the 33rd mixed association of the 17th town is tentatively formed.
Zhang Xu frowned and frowned. Things have developed to this point, so how can I get it!
Although his brother Wang Hengyue fought well in Rong County, he was a small place in Rong County after all, and he was fighting against the power of the whole country.
When the imperial court is really in a hurry, and the troops of Yungui and Hunan are mobilized to suppress it, what should I do?
Rong County, how to defend the land of projectiles!
There was a "bang", and a gunshot rang out outside.
Zhang Xu was furious: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to attack at night?" ”
However, the gunfire suddenly became more intense.
"Pipe band, my lord, it's not good, it's not good!" Guan Qingxia, the gang leader, rushed in with a pale face: "Seventeen towns, seventeen towns have made a move on us." ”
"What?" Zhang Xu stood up suddenly, not believing what he had heard: "You say it again, who did it to us?" ”
"Seventeen towns, seventeen towns!" Guan Qingxia shouted anxiously: "The soldiers personally led by Yao Luoshui, the deputy commander of the sixty-fifth standard, are enough for two battalions of troops, and the brothers have no defense, and they have already entered it!" ”
Zhang Xu's body shook and almost fell.
It's coming, it's coming.
After reaching a tacit understanding with Wang Hengyue, he thought that everything would be fine, but he didn't expect Zhu Qinglan to still aim at himself.
"Let's go, pipe belt!" Guan Qingxia grabbed Zhang Xu and rushed outside.
A large number of Qing troops had already rushed in, and the brothers of the second battalion were defenseless at all, where did they think that they would be attacked by their own people inexplicably?
In the midst of the chaos, countless brothers of the 2nd Battalion fell under the guns of "their own people".
"Resist killed! Those who do not resist are not guilty! ”
Qing Bing took advantage of the situation to call out such words.
In this way, it caused even greater confusion for the second battalion, they did not know what was going on, and at this time no one stood up to command, only after a short hesitation, the vast majority of the officers and men of the second battalion who did not know what was going on chose to lay down their arms.
Yao Luoshui is full of spirits, and since the attack on Rong County, he has suffered many losses, and only this battle is hearty. It's just that the only thing that is not satisfactory is that Zhang Xu has not been caught
At this time, Zhang Xu was guarded by his loyal guards, and he was in a panic.
There are clear soldiers everywhere, bullets everywhere, now, what should be done?
"Pipe belt, let's go to Rong County!" Guan Qingxia shouted loudly.
"What, go to Rong County?" Zhang Xu hesitated there.
Once you go to Rong County, you can't go back.
I have been an official of the imperial court for generations, is it possible that there will be a "thief" here after all?
"Pipe belt, don't hesitate any longer, go to Rong County!" Guan Qingxia's voice suddenly raised: "Staying here is a death, and going to Rong County is also a death, it's better to fight!" ”
Zhang Xu sighed helplessly.
Now in addition to Rong County, the world is so big, where can I have a place to live?
Zhang Xu ran out with his guards, and met the team led by Wu Qianlong, the commander of the fourth battalion of the Chinese Army, who came to meet him.
"Lord Zhang, I'm frightened!" As soon as he saw Zhang Xu, Wu Qianlong gave a military salute: "I heard gunshots in the second battalion, and I knew that something was wrong, so I immediately brought someone to rescue me, but fortunately I received Lord Zhang." ”
Zhang Xu smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect to call back and forth, and in the end, the person who told me came to save me." ”
"Lord Zhang, please go to Rong County first, my family Hengshuai is waiting for your lord there, and I will block the chasing soldiers"
Zhang Xu let out a long sigh and nodded silently. Anti-thief, chaotic party, in my life, I am afraid that I will never be able to take off this hat again
"Big brother!"
As soon as he saw Zhang Xu appear, Wang Hengyue immediately greeted him and grabbed Zhang Xu's hand: "Big brother is out of danger, congratulations." The gunshots rang out all night there, and my brother was very worried, but fortunately my eldest brother was fine! ”
"Shuzhi" held Wang Hengyue's hand tightly, Zhang Xu sighed infinitely: "You saved my life in Leshan back then, and now I still have you here to take refuge, the dog that lost my family, the dog who lost my family."
"How can Big Brother say such a thing?" Wang Hengyue took him into his headquarters, and made everyone in the headquarters stop what they were doing: "This is my eldest brother Zhang Xu!" From now on, Brother Zhang's words are equal to my words! My troops are Brother Zhang's troops! ”
"Yes!"
Wang Hengyue was satisfied with letting his subordinates continue to work, and asked Zhang Xu to sit down: "What are the plans of the eldest brother?" ”
"What can I do? The army is lost, and it is on your side again, will you not go, hey" Zhang Xu sighed heavily: "I'm just worried about my family in Leshan now"
Wang Hengyue couldn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Brother Zhang's family is my family, if the eldest brother is in trouble, how can the brother sit idly by?" Big brother, I have decided to concentrate one battalion of the Chinese Army, one battalion of the Armed Guards, and one company of the Pistol Battalion, counterattack the Qing Army, take advantage of the situation to seize Leshan, and rescue the eldest brother's family! ”
"Is that true?" Zhang Xu was surprised and delighted.
"How can a brother lie to his eldest brother?" Wang Hengyue's answer was categorical: "If the eldest brother does not dislike it, please be appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Revolutionary Comrade Army."
"Tell it!" Zhang Xu stood up: "The kindness of the narrative, Zhang Xu firmly remembers it in his heart!" ”
Wang Hengyue also stood up: "Wu Qianlong! ”
"Here!"
"Order you to command all forces, counterattack the Qing army, once you break through the enemy camp, immediately collect the second battalion brothers, regroup, and seize Leshan in one go!"
"Yes!"
"Remember, as long as Deputy Commander Zhang's family loses a single hair, I will ask you!"
"Yes!"
A series of orders made Zhang Xu stunned.
Counterattack the Qing army, incorporate the second battalion brothers, and capture Leshan, why don't you let yourself go, but send Wu Qianlong to go? Not to mention the fact that he was only appointed deputy commander-in-chief.
After Wang Hengyue gave the order, he turned to Zhang Xu and said, "Big brother has been running all the way, and he has worked hard all the way, please rest first, just wait for good news here with me." Once Leshan recovers, you must ask the eldest brother to go there to take charge! ”
Zhang Xu nodded reluctantly.
"Someone, send Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang to rest!"
When Zhang Xu walked out, Yu Lei walked over: "My lord wants to use Zhang Xu's reputation to absorb his army?" ”
Wang Hengyue nodded: "The second battalion still has a certain combat effectiveness, but this time it was just a surprise attack." Moreover, Zhang Xu has a high reputation in their minds, and if Zhang Xu is forced to leave, those soldiers will inevitably be dissatisfied. Taking advantage of the chaos, a counterattack in one fell swoop, the second battalion will inevitably be used by me"
After a pause, he said:
"And when I said that I was in Leshan, I said that Zhang Xu has a very good way of governing the place, and he will be used by me sooner or later, will he not come this day? When Leshan is laid, I still have to use him. ”
"Then after the second battalion is organized, we must find a way to disrupt it and place it in each battalion." Yu Lei said.
Wang Hengyue smiled: "By the way, how is the matter in Chengdu?" ”
"The people of the Ma family have been rescued safely, and they will be there about tonight. But Qin Guangcheng refused to leave, and told the adults not to worry, saying that he had his own way to get out. ”
Wang Hengyue sighed softly.
I hope Qin Guangcheng can be safe, this big brother has really helped him too much.
At this moment, the sound of gunfire was faintly heard
The next day after the 2nd Battalion of the 66th Standard was dealt with by force, the Chinese army in Rongxian County suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Qing army with the strength of a battalion of the regular army, a battalion of the armed guards, and a company of the pistol battalion.
Wang Hengyue even mobilized an artillery piece to attack together!
Instead, the attackers were raided, and the Qing military camp was once again in chaos.
Yao Luoshui, who had not yet recovered from the joy of victory, was in a big mess, and hissed to command his subordinates to resist. But at this time, the Qing army was already completely in disarray.
Shells continued to fall into the Qing barracks, killing and wounding a mess.
As soon as the artillery stopped, the Chinese soldiers of the brigade rushed up. The soldiers were charging and shouting:
"Zhang Guandai was wronged, avenge Zhang Guandai!"
This time it's even more confusing!
Those subordinates before Zhang Xu had just been reined in by Yao Luoshui, and when they calmed down, they couldn't figure out how the Guan Belt Lord suddenly became a chaotic party?
At the moment, being called by the soldier on the opposite side was even more chaotic, and I didn't know what to do.
Those soldiers of the Chinese army had already rushed in.
"To avenge Zhang Guandao, Zhang Guandao's people put down their weapons and stand on their left hands, don't kill!"
The bursts of shouts made the brothers of the original second battalion no longer hesitate, threw away the weapons in their hands, and stood at the designated place one after another, even some people who were not from the second battalion stood over in order to save their lives.
Seeing this scene, Yao Luoshui knew that he would never be able to return to the sky, so he sighed and ran out in embarrassment with the remnants of the defeated army.
In this battle, the Chinese army fought suddenly and quickly, and when Yao Luoshui had not yet gained a firm foothold, it suddenly launched a resolute attack and succeeded in one fell swoop.
In this battle, the second battalion and the Qing army surrendered more than 600 new troops, and a batch of weapons and ammunition were captured. And more importantly, with the second battalion being solved, Leshan has become an empty city.
Zhu Qinglan originally wanted to solve Zhang Xu's power and disintegrate Wang Hengyue's allies, but what he didn't expect was that he stole chicken and rice instead, and gave it to more than 600 people to Wang Hengyue for nothing.
What's even worse is that Leshan is already within the attack range of the Chinese army. A day's journey, the "rebel party" can reach Leshan.
If Rongxian and Leshan are connected, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But Zhu Qinglan didn't have anything to do.
Wang Hengyue clearly saw that with Rong County's reading power, the first card of the dominoes had fallen. And with it, there will be a series of reactions, and the whole domino will begin to crumble.
Maybe Wang Hengyue, who had just arrived in Rong County before, would not have thought that the source of the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty actually started from himself!
