The fierce battle that took place in Yongzhou continued to spread to Wang Hengyue's hands!

Go[***] behaved very bravely, but also fought very hard.

It was only one situation that attracted Wang Hengyue's special attention, and Xiong Kewu's troops from Sichuan, who protected the right flank of [***], never directly joined the battle.

And Wu Xiangzhen didn't seem to deliberately storm Xiong Kewu's troops.

"Wu Xiangzhen is going to concentrate all his strength, defeat Deng Taizhong first, and then deal with Xiong Kewu." Wang Hengyue said to himself.

Xiong Kewu has changed. Wang Hengyue can be sure.

If it had been before, Xiong Kewu would have ordered his troops to launch a fierce attack on the enemy desperately, but now he was indifferent in the face of the dilemma of protecting [***].

"Heng Shuai, what are you thinking?" Ye Bao'er, who acted as Wang Hengyue's guard, saw Wang Hengyue in a daze, and asked curiously.

Wang Hengyue came back to his senses: "Bao'er, let me give you a question, there are two tigers in the forest, a large group of hungry wolves, and a fox, who do you say will become the king of the forest?" ”

"Of course it's a tiger." Ye Baoer didn't even think about it.

Wang Hengyue smiled: "The tiger must be the first to die, because one mountain does not allow two tigers, everyone wants to rush to be the king of the mountain, and they have to fight to the death, so at this time the hungry wolf is given a chance." ”

"Ah, I see." Ye Bao'er shouted: "The two tigers are exhausted, the hungry wolf has a chance, and the hungry wolf is the king of the forest." ”

"Wrong. The final victor was the fox. Wang Hengyue smiled and said: "When the two tigers are dead, the hungry wolf will start to distribute food, at the beginning, there was nothing to do, but in the end, the tiger meat gradually ran out, so the hungry wolf started to fight by himself." The hungry wolf fought less and less, and the less he fought, and finally let the fox pick a big bargain."

Ye Bao'er tilted her head and thought for a long time: "How come? I've heard that wolves all swing together."

Wang Hengyue laughed, how could he tell this story to Ye Bao'er: "Yes, yes, I said nonsense, I said nonsense." ”

Seeing Wang Qinglu walking in, Wang Hengyue hurriedly changed the topic: "How is it?" ”

"The fight was very fierce, and the casualties of protecting [***] all day today were large. And in Naxi and other places, Hu [***] also began to fight with Beiyang. Wang Qinglu replied one by one.

Wang Hengyue nodded: "There is no problem for Deng Taizhong to hold on a little longer." Tell Ma Xiao to wait for another day, and then concentrate artillery fire, bombard the position of the 4th Beiyang Mixed Brigade, and assist in the counterattack! But our people don't move! ”

"Yes! Also, Feng Yuxiang's 16th Mixed Brigade is secretly deploying troops, which has the intention of sneaking up on Yibin. ”

"Feng Yuxiang?" The corners of Wang Hengyue's mouth twitched: "Let him in, and then surround him on both sides, give him a little lesson, let him know that Sichuan is not Shaanxi, and it is not so easy to come in." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Qinglu immediately smiled: "Heng Shuai is almost resting, when will he leave the mountain?" ”

"Wait a little longer." Wang Hengyue stretched his waist: "How comfortable is it now?" It's none of my business to mess up outside, I really want to raise flowers and birds like this and talk about the rest of my life."

Here again Wang Qinglu hurriedly found an excuse to sneak out.

"Planting flowers and raising birds, chatting about the rest of his life" has almost become Wang Hengyue's mantra, every time he says this, he is always interested in asking someone to help him find a bunch of flowers, plants, fish and birds, but when did he Wang Zhenshou cultivate it? What to raise and die, once even the turtle was raised to death by him, it is better to leave quickly, so that he can harm less animals

Night fell, and the guards who had been fighting all day were a little tired, and they were lying in the middle of the position.

Today's day's battle was really too hard, and those Beiyang people were simply deadly, and they were only repulsed once, and then rushed up with a "whoop" scream.

It is said that the soldiers of Beiyang can fight, but today they have finally opened their eyes!

Especially those cannons in Beiyang, "booming", they simply want to blow up the position, and the soldiers who are damaged in the artillery fire are no less than those who fall under the guns.

Deng Taizhong also lay in the position, gasping for breath.

Beiyang, these damn Beiyang!

Although he had been prepared for the difficulties of the battle before going to Sichuan, he did not expect that when he really faced Beiyang, the battle would be so difficult.

He suffered a lot of losses here, and Xiong Kewu on the flank was not attacked fiercely, and there were not a few deaths, which also made the Deng Tai Center somewhat resentful.

Suddenly his nose smelled the smell of meat, and the brothers around him climbed up in one fell swoop.

Deng Taizhong also stood up, and when he looked at the smell of trendy meat, he saw a large group of people, resisting dozens of baskets of food walking towards him.

"Which one is the captain of the first detachment of [***]?" An officer asked loudly, "I'm Deng Taizhong, may I ask who you are?" Deng Taizhong said with some doubts.

"I sent you bullets during the day, and I don't recognize it so soon?" The officer laughed: "Brother is Ma Xiao, the commander of the mixed brigade of the Reading Power Mixed Division!" ”

"Brigadier Ma!" Deng Taizhong suddenly realized, and saluted: "Brigade Commander Ma, thanks to your bullets during the day, I haven't had time to thank you, you are"

Ma Xiao said with a smile: "The brothers who protect [***] have fought for a day and worked hard, so my brother specially ordered to kill a few pigs and prepare some food to treat some brothers!" ”

Deng Taizhong was grateful, thanked him repeatedly, and beckoned his brother to come over for dinner.

Ma Xiao asked someone to bring a lunch box, which was specially prepared for Deng Taizhong, put the dishes on the ground, and brought over a pot of wine: "Detachment leader, your war is urgent, and my brother won't let you drink more, just this pot of wine." ”

Deng Taizhong was also not polite, raised his glass and drank it all.

After eating a few bites of food, Deng Taizhong finally couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Brigade Commander Ma, brother asks something that shouldn't be asked, Yuan Shikai treats your town guard like this, but why don't you town guard make Yuan Shikai back?" ”

"Detachment leader, don't you know what our guards are in?" Ma Xiao sighed: "Our town guard is going to be reversed, and the name is not right." You have a military and political axe in Yunnan, but what about Sichuan? Mr. Xiong Kewu, that's a revolutionary veteran again, who do you think we should listen to after the town guard rebels? ”

"Xiong Kewu?" Deng Taizhong snorted in his nose: "I didn't fight anything all day today, if he hadn't raised troops several times, I really suspect that there was a collusion between him and Yuan Shikai!" ”

"No, no!" Ma Xiao hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiong Kewu is dedicated to revolution, the detachment leader must not misunderstand." ”

Deng Taizhong snorted again and stopped talking.

"Is there anything else the detachment leader needs help with? If there is, even if you speak, my brother will never refuse! ”

Deng Taizhong thought for a while: "The bullets and bombs that Brigade Commander Ma sent us, my brother is grateful, and I don't thank you much, but it would be great if you could give us some more artillery support, the Beiyang artillery is really fierce."

Before the words were finished, Ma Xiao had already patted his chest and said: "Detachment leader, don't worry, as long as you can hold on for another day, I will definitely try my best to give you artillery support!" ”

"Thank you, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I saluted Brigade Commander Ma with a cup!"

"Please!"

When the sun rose, the artillery fire of the 4th Beiyang Mixed Brigade arrived as scheduled.

The artillery shells continued to comb through the positions protecting [***], and the soldiers silently hid in the positions, silently enduring the destruction of the artillery fire.

Subsequently, the offensive of the 4th Brigade began!

The soldiers protecting [***] poked their heads out of the position!

All kinds of weapons in his hands rang out at the same time, and the gunshots "crackled" loudly.

The offensive of the 4th Brigade was very ferocious, and the performance of the guard [***] was equally tenacious!

The situation on the battlefield is staggered, and everyone is fighting on the battlefield of blood and fire.

Deng Taizhong hissed and commanded his brothers, loudly encouraging his soldiers.

One day, one more day, and you will be able to get artillery support!

He believes in Ma Xiao's words, and if Ma Xiao agrees, he will definitely be able to do it.

A brother was shot and fell, covered in blood, Deng Taizhong hurriedly pulled him down, and tried to help him stop the bleeding, but he couldn't succeed at all.

"Detachment leader, I can't do it anymore" The soldier said weakly: "Bury me here until the victory of the country, remember to come back and tell me"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and died.

Deng Taizhong looked at the corpse in front of him in a daze, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Protect the country and fight Yuan, brothers, fight, fight with the Beiyang Army!" ”

The courage of the soldiers was incredible, they held on to every inch of their positions without retreating a single step when they were inferior in strength and weapons to their opponents.

They don't know when such a battle will be fought, or whether it will be won, but they don't care.

From the first day of defending the country and asking for Yuan, they were already fully prepared!

The explosion on the position sounded "boom, boom", and the two sides sacrificed their lives to strangle each other, and neither of them would take a step back. Countless soldiers fell, and then countless more soldiers continued to fill up.

Each of them has a belief in their hearts:

Just hold on a little longer, just hold on a little longer!

But no one can say exactly how long it will last!

Xiong Kewu and his subordinates also saw this tragic scene on the frontal position of the protector, and they asked Xiong Kewu to fight, but Xiong Kewu refused.

Defending your position is the most important thing.

Xiong Kewu looked in the direction of Luzhou and Neijiang, and felt a little strange in his heart, it was already like this here, why did Wang Hengyue have no intention of sending troops at all?

What is Wang Hengyue looking at, and what is he waiting for?

Xiong Kewu shook his head, unable to figure out Wang Hengyue's thoughts

"Report to the brigade commander, the artillery is assembled!"
