Chapter 173: An Unexpected Appearance

September 4, 1900, 1:30 a.m.

Rich county town, west of the city, independent battalion blocked the enemy's position.

"Battalion commander, if you want me to say, deciding to join the Black Dragon Army is definitely the wisest decision in your life."

Liao Yong, the commander of the first company of the independent battalion, took advantage of the time when Tsarist Russia stopped attacking, and chatted with Zou Yin, the commander of the independent battalion.

"Hehe, Ah Yong, it's only been a few days since you joined the Black Dragon Army, so you're so sure?" Zou Yin asked with a smile.

In fact, when he decided to join the Black Dragon Army, Zou Yin still consulted some old brothers, most of the old brothers were supportive, of course, some were skeptical, after all, the Black Dragon Army was created for too short a time, and it didn't seem to have a very solid foundation, and it was inconsistent with their original concept, however, because of Zou Yin's strong promotion, they finally joined the Black Dragon Army.

Originally, I was worried that it would be difficult for the brothers to integrate into the Black Dragon Army, but what Zou Yin didn't expect was that the speed at which his team integrated into the Black Dragon Army was surprisingly fast, after the announcement on the same day, the vast majority of the soldiers cut off their braids on the same day, and then Zhou Dabiao sent some soldiers into the team to preach the discipline of the Black Dragon Army, as well as conduct some training in queues and military postures, etc., the performance of these brothers is also very positive, and they are all proud of the identity of the Black Dragon Army, which makes Zou Yin feel very incredible.

Afterwards, after reflection, Zou Yin thought that this kind of ending was actually understandable, because the last time he returned to Murgen City with Yue Weihua's subordinates, the soldiers on both sides had a lot of exchanges, coupled with the generosity of the Black Dragon Army from top to bottom, of course, the most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Army is like chopping melons and vegetables, you can't accept it.

In such an era of the jungle, in their opinion, the Black Dragon Army is a strong man, a big tree that can be relied on, and in addition, the situation of the Boxers is not as good as day by day, so the low-level soldiers are naturally actively cooperating with the change of troops.

"Battalion commander, don't say anything else, let's just say that this fights Lao Maozi, how many of our brothers have died under Lao Maozi's hands, except for a few battles with the Black Dragon Army, when did we take advantage of Lao Maozi, just by virtue of this, everyone feels comfortable and transparent." Liao Yong admired.

"That's right." Zou Xiang also had to nod and admit.

"By the way, battalion commander, did you say that Fan Yi'an and Li Zongzan's team, after this battle, will choose to join our Black Dragon Army?" Liao Yong asked.

Liao Yong's question immediately made Zou Yin think of a lot of pictures, starting from Qihar, he often saw Zhou Dabiao's subordinates, going in and out of Fan Yi'an and Li Zongzan's military camp when they had nothing to do, shushing Han and asking for warmth to send this and that to buy people's hearts, and by the way, the deeds and spirit of the Black Dragon Army were promoted, even he Zou Yin, who had nothing to do recently, talked to Fan Yi'an and Li Zongzan about the situation of the Black Dragon Army, this strength seems to be much greater than when Yue Weihua infiltrated his own team.

In this way, Fan Yi'an and Li Zongzan's subordinates, it may only be a matter of time before they join the Black Dragon Army.

"It should ......

"Hey, battalion commander, why are those damn old hairy men breaking into people's houses?"

Zou Yin was just about to answer Liao Yong, but was suddenly interrupted by Liao Yong's words, following the direction of Liao Yong's finger, Zou Xiang really saw that behind Lao Maozi's position, groups of three or five Lao Maozi, in the vast night, kept knocking on the doors of the people who were close to the people, and after a few minutes passed, Zou Yin saw a family of people, who were driven out of the house by Lao Maozi.

"Damn, these old hairy people who have lost their conscience." Zou Yin scolded: "Quick, send an urgent telegram to Commander Yue, saying that Lao Maozi may use the people to attack the blocking position." ”

……

Three kilometers away from the west gate of Fufu County, the temporary headquarters of the Black Dragon Army.

Zou Yin's telegram soon came to Yue Weiyun's hands, and within a few minutes, several battalions received telegrams from the east and south gates, and all the old Maozi, except for the defensive manpower left on the position, were all put into the ranks of catching the common people.

"What should I do?"

All the telegrams were asking Yue Weiyun. What to do, but what can be done?

Yue Weiyun took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his emotions, only to find that he didn't even have a person to consult, after all, the commanders of the battalions below had gone into the city with the troops to fight, and the chief of staff Tie Lin was guarding the Xigang old nest, and the only one who listened to the order was Yin Lili, the head of the intelligence department of the Xigang Military Division.

"Yin Lili, go and call Xiao Feng, the commander of the artillery battalion, over."

Yue Weiyun had no choice but to call the commander of the artillery battalion who had just rushed over to converge, and then added Yin Li, and the three of them began to discuss, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang.

If you choose to storm the position of Tsarist Russia, so as to disintegrate Lao Maozi's actions, it will run counter to the battle plan of the Black Dragon Army, and the result may be a defeat for both sides, even if you win, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory, which is obviously not the result that the Black Dragon Army wants.

But seeing the common people, being driven out by Lao Maozi from house to house, and then gathering together in the position, how can he be willing, besides, if Lao Maozi uses the people as a meat shield to attack the position, what should he do?

"Wait."

"We can only wait."

"Wait, damn it."

Eventually, Yue Weiyun issued an order, etc.

There is no other way but to wait and see, and to respond to all changes without change.

"Bastard, shameless."

"Son of a bitch."

"The scum of the military."

"Damn old hair."

……

All kinds of cursing sounds, one after another on the position of the Black Dragon Army, because all the soldiers can only watch the people on the opposite side, being gathered by Lao Maozi door to door and have no way, after all, in this process, confrontation and violence must be inevitable, and the result must be that the people suffer, for this reason, in addition to scolding, it seems that there are no other means.

Time was spent in this torment, until about half past two in the morning, Lao Maozi used nearly an hour of time, and finally stopped the arrest operation, the four directions of the southeast, the northwest, except for the Tsarist Russia in the north of the city, because it was blocked in the temporary barracks, the other three directions, there were nearly a thousand people.

And at this time, two messengers came out of the Russian garrison in the north of the city, came to the position of the Black Dragon Army, and asked to meet the commander of the Black Dragon Army.

"Major Moral, Battalion Commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 302nd Regiment of the 12th Brigade of the Second Army of the Second Army of Nizhny Tsarist Russia, may I ask Your Excellency?"

"You don't need to know who I am, because shameless enemies are not qualified to know my name." Yue Weiyun said very politely: "I don't know, if you are thrown into your so-called Western civilization world by me, what will those Westerners who claim to be gentlemen think of you big white bears." ”

The Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War was officially put on the stage of history in 1899, and although the convention was still crude at that time, and there may not be many countries that could abide by it, if it were to be made public, at least on the surface, it would still be able to gain international solidarity.

Yue Weiyun's words obviously made the Russian envoy's face flush, but in order to survive, who could take care of so much, so Morar said bluntly: "Your Excellency the respected general, let's get straight to the point, our request is very simple, open the city gate, let the garrisons in our four directions leave, no attack, no tracking, in addition, send our commander to our barracks." ”

"Hmph, you guys have a good plan." Yue Weiyun sneered, it was expected that Tsarist Russia had found out that their headquarters had been terminated, but they actually wanted to get the prisoners back, how could it be so cheap.

"I beg your pardon, General, for the inadequacy of our methods, but we promise that as soon as we reach safety, we will release all your people and ensure their safety." Moral added.

"Hehe, promise, how do you promise?" Yue Weiyun sneered: "Major Moral, go back and tell your ministry that if you release the people and choose to surrender, our Black Dragon Army can give you the treatment of prisoners, if you dare to do something that is angry and resentful, I guarantee that you will die a miserable death, and we will also carry out a retaliatory attack on the people of your Tsarist Russia, do you understand?"

"General,......

"If you understand, let me go."

"Get out."

After Moral was directly blasted out of the barracks, Zhou Dabiao and others appeared in the temporary office one after another.

"Commander Yue, a tough Russian envoy like you blasted out, what if Lao Maozi is really bad for the people?" Zhou Dabiao asked.

"Yes, Lao Maozi can do everything." The Qing army standard Yu Busheng also echoed the road.

"Hehe, only the tougher we are, the more they will be afraid, and they will not dare to move." Yue Weiyun put away his cold face and smiled.

"Oh, what do you say?" Yu Busheng was puzzled.

"Negotiations, how can it be successful at one time, of course, it is necessary to talk several times before it is possible to finally reach an agreement, they put forward a price, we also put forward a condition, of course the envoys of both sides have to go back to say goodbye, coordinate, so as to adjust the negotiation conditions."

Yue Weiyun paused, and said helplessly: "Moreover, I'm afraid I can't do this matter, I have already sent a telegram to the commander-in-chief and the general staff of the situation here, and we must now discuss the situation that may be found next, so as to make preparations in all aspects." ”
