Chapter 142: The War in Fujian (2)

Suddenly, Li Ran's expression became extremely serious. Zhao Peng looked at Li Ran's expression www.biquge.info became serious, and he himself put away his relaxed appearance and became serious, because Zhao Peng knew that Li Ran would definitely say something about this war next.

Li Ran said, "The Qing army is already less than thirty miles away from Yanping City, and we must make a choice immediately, whether to use the city to defend the city, or go out of the city to fight the enemy." ”

Li Ran continued, "I think it's better for us to go out of the city, the official road is not very wide, of course we can arrange it on both sides of the road in advance, once the Qing army enters the range of our rifles, we can shoot and kill." General Zhao, what do you think? ”

Zhao Peng nodded, "General Li, what you said is right, our army's equipment is conducive to the battle of the Qing army outside, and it is not suitable for defending the city." In addition, the other side must have a considerable amount of artillery, and we will be very passive in defending the city. ”

Li Ran immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, General Zhao, we will immediately lead 20,000 troops out of the city to fight." It is necessary to fight with the Qing army first, and our soldiers need to vent. ”

Zhao Peng immediately said, "General Li, I will return to the barracks immediately and set off immediately." ”

Li Ran nodded, and at the same time, Li Ran immediately ordered the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade, who had already been prepared, to start setting off, and the five thousand army also set off immediately, and finally Li Ran arranged for a deputy regiment commander to take the three thousand recruits who had already been selected to the city gate.

At this time, the Qing army away from Yanping City, Prince Gong Yixin and Zeng Guoquan discussed, ordered the army to rest, and after preparing for two hours, Yanping City was taken in one fell swoop.

Only when soldiers have the strength can they be more energetic in battle, Yi Xin and Zeng Guoquan know it. The two got together at this time and talked loudly.

Zeng Guoquan smiled and said, "Lord Wang, this time we took Yanping City, did we advance westward to prepare to attack Guangzhou City?" Or go south to take Fuzhou? ”

Prince Gong Yixin's eyes were fixed on Zeng Guoquan, "What does Master Zeng think we should do?" ”

Zeng Guoquan's eyes narrowed, "Lord Wang, I think that after taking Yanping City, we can divide our troops, all the way to the west, all the way to the south, and we can take care of both ends." ”

Prince Gong Yixin smiled and said, "Then does Lord Zeng want to go to Fuzhou, or do you want to go to Guangzhou?" ”

Zeng Guoquan immediately said, "Whatever the prince said, I will obey the prince's arrangement." ”

Prince Gong said lightly, "It's too early to talk about this, let's take Yanping City first and then talk about the rest." In fact, Prince Gong Yixin has already decided that after taking Yanping City, he will go to Guangzhou and let Zeng Guoquan go to Fuzhou, even if he has an opinion in his heart, he can only accept it.

Zeng Guoquan scolded the old fox in his heart, at their level, many things are actually obedient and obedient. Zeng Guoquan already knew that after capturing Yanping, he could only lead the army south to attack Fuzhou.

The Qing soldiers also all lay down, threw their guns to their sides, ate and drank, chatted, slept and slept, and did everything. All the Qing soldiers felt that the attack on Yanping City must be the same as the ones attacked these days, and there must not be much pressure at all.

I couldn't see a little nervousness on the faces of all the soldiers, some were just excited, and they would definitely be able to have a good time playing around after capturing Yanping City.

An hour later, Li Ran and Zhao Peng led an army of 20,000 to fifteen miles from Yanping City and began to arrange. When Li Ran heard that the Qing army was resting in front and the whole team was scattered, Li Ran sneered in his heart, but he still didn't lead the army forward, because he knew that the effect of his past was not the greatest at this time.

According to the plan, Li Ran arranged almost all the artillery on the sides and in the rear positions, and the soldiers of the Sixth Brigade lurked on both sides, and the front was completed by Li Ran's Fourth Brigade. Halfway through the war, recruits and government soldiers can be on board.

Li Ran planned like this, and the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade seemed very calm, and at the same time very serious and serious. However, the recruits were a little curious, and their platoon commanders and even company commanders would carefully explain to them, in short, all actions could be commanded.

With the passage of time, the Qing army has begun to advance, and the Qing army has not sent many scouts to explore the road at all, it is estimated that Prince Gong and Zeng Guoquan think that there is not much need.

Gradually, the Qing army came within a distance where the 4th Brigade could shoot. Prince Gong Yi Xin and Zeng Guoquan also found that there was an army in front of them blocking their way. That's a lot of guts!

I saw Li Ran shouting loudly, "The two of you have come from afar, you have worked hard all the way, you will have already prepared tea in the city, if you don't dislike it, you can go to the city for a while." ”

Prince Gong Yixin said angrily, "Thief ahead, if you surrender to the Qing Dynasty, this king will protect you for a prosperous life, if you don't know the current affairs, or be loyal to Li Zhongju, this king will let you and the army behind you die today without a place to be buried." ”

Li Ran just said lightly, "Hmph, Yi Xin, you are a dog thief, and Zeng Guoquan you, have you forgotten your brother Zeng Guoquan?" Your brother is a hero, he really serves the country and the people, but what about you? With the king of Zhennan fighting for the nation in the country, you are ready to cut off the back road of the king of Zhennan, do you still have the nation of China in your hearts? You are the greatest sinners in history. ”

Zeng Guoquan sneered, "Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, deserves death for not listening to the orders of the Qing court, and you minions of Li Zhongju also deserve death." We will write the history ourselves, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Li Ran shook his head, he never gave hope to this kind of selfish and selfish Manchu nobles and high-ranking officials of the Qing court. Li Ran pulled out a delicate pistol from his waist and fired it into the sky.

Zhao Peng knew that this was General Li's instruction, and immediately ordered the artillery on both sides to open fire on the enemy.

Hundreds of shells roared towards the Qing army, and Prince Gong and Zeng Guoquan immediately realized that it was not good and immediately ordered the army to disperse as much as possible.

But it was already too late, boom, boom, boom, the shells exploded in the crowd, causing certain losses in an instant.

All the Qing troops immediately began martial law, and at the same time, Zeng Guoquan ordered his own artillery to start firing back, and Prince Gong was not far behind, and both of them let their artillery attack.

For a while, the battlefield became the intersection of the artillery of the two sides, but so what, would the Zhenwu Army be afraid, this is the rhythm that the Zhenwu Army likes, and the Qing Army's artillery is far inferior to the D1 howitzer of the Zhenwu Army in terms of rate of fire and power.

Most of the artillery used by the Qing army was decommissioned artillery purchased from foreign countries, and the artillery used by the vast majority of foreign powers forty or fifty years ago. The power and accuracy are simply not comparable to the D1 howitzer.

Li Ran saw that the time was almost up, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade to press up, and all the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade attacked with M1 machine guns and S1 rifles. Both the M1 machine gun and the S2 rifle had an effective range of more than 300 meters, not to mention that the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters.
