Chapter 521: Surrender
Hoda, the sun has set in the western mountains. In the barracks, groups of soldiers were slowly leaving the training camp and returning to the main camp under the guidance of commanders at all levels.
On the training ground, an officer in his 40s, with a somewhat dark face and a height of about 1.75 meters, was wearing a general uniform and standing there quietly, while behind him, there were more than a dozen pro-soldiers, all of whom looked indifferently at a soldier who was kneeling on the ground and wearing Uyghur clothes.
"My lord, if you don't send troops, Aksu will be finished." This soldier is crying with a nose and tears.
This soldier was the person sent by Wusuya to ask Cheng Wenqi, the general of Hetian, to send troops.
Hmph, when Lao Tzu sent troops to borrow Aksu, Wusuya did not let the army pass, but now when he was besieged by the Liaodong army, he actually hoped to send reinforcements. There are no doors.
Cheng Wenqi is the general of Hetian, this person can be regarded as Pan Xiaosu's confidant and favorite general. After Pan Xiaosu took charge of Xinjiang, he sent his love Cheng Wenqi to Hotan, hoping that he could contain Wusuya. And when the Liaodong Army was attacking Urumqi. Cheng Wenqi once sent 2,000 reinforcements, hoping to rescue Pan Xiaosu from Urumqi, but as soon as the army arrived in Aksu, Wusuya refused to allow Cheng Wenqi's troops to come in. Therefore, it is quite normal that he does not send reinforcements.
"I'm saying it again, I'm definitely not going to send a single soldier, if he, Wusuya, has the ability. Fight yourself. Throwing down these words, Cheng Wenqi grabbed the saber at his waist and turned around and walked towards the big tent.
"My lord, if you don't send reinforcements, I'm afraid Hotan will become the next Aksu." The soldier kneeling on the ground was estimated to be Usuya's henchman, and he actually threatened with this sentence.
Hmph, Lao Tzu would rather open the city and surrender than send troops, Cheng Wenqi, who snorted coldly, didn't look at the other party, returned to his camp, and let the person cry wherever he was.
"My lord, are you really not sending reinforcements?" As soon as Cheng Wenqi sat down, the deputy next to him stepped forward and asked.
It's not nonsense, of course he won't send reinforcements, he knows what the deputy means, once Aksu is occupied by the Liaodong Army, the next place will be his own Hotan, but, Pan Xiaosu is also dead, the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, it's just a big deal to surrender when the time comes.
"No, let's find out what the brothers mean." Cheng Wenqi said lightly.
When the deputy heard this, his face suddenly showed a subtle smile, and from these words, he heard that Cheng Wenqi was going to surrender.
It's better to surrender than to struggle needlessly. This is the most clear words in Cheng Wenqi's heart.
Periphery of Aksu. At the forward position of the 13th Army, Tian Hua, the commander of the 13th Army, was standing quietly in front of the bunker, watching the troops rush towards the Aksu city wall like the tide.
Tian Hua was originally a sentry in the Dengzhou horse battalion, Luo Dacheng's old subordinate, after the expansion of the Liaodong Army, he served as the commander of the 13th Army, and then the commander of the 13th Army.
Damn, some were beaten down, and seeing that the attacking troops were suppressed under the city wall to the gentle slope, Tian Hua handed the telescope in his hand to the staff officer next to him and quickly walked to the map.
Brush the dirt off the top in a few strokes. Tian Hua lowered his head and pondered for a few moments before raising his head and looking at the staff officer beside him: "Immediately notify the artillery, and in ten minutes, the artillery will cover the east gate of Aksu." Be sure to blow up a gap to cover the infantry onslaught. ”
"Yes." The staff officer saluted, then turned around and walked out quickly.
"Give the order immediately, stop the attack." As soon as the staff officer went out, Tian Hua gave the order again.
Aksu East Gate. Wu Suya was in the county government at that time, and Cheng Wenqi's ancestors were scolded for eighteen generations, and they did not scold the reinforcements, so they could only come to the east gate to supervise the battle.
Seeing his soldiers knocking back the Liaodong Army, the fear in Wu Suya's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace. He regained his confidence again, the confidence that he would defeat the Liaodong army under the city.
The dream was very beautiful, but the reality was too cruel, he didn't see it at all, outside the city, but a number of field guns, which were adjusting the firing angle and aiming the muzzles at the east gate wall.
Before he could make an exciting speech, rows of white fog suddenly appeared on the opposite hill. As soon as he heard this voice, Wu Suya was shocked, he knew that this was not white fog, but the gunpowder smoke produced by the Liaodong artillery when they fired.
With a loud bang, a cannonball hit an earthen cannon not far away, and immediately lifted the rotten earthen cannon into the sky, and then after falling heavily, it smashed on a soldier, and the soldier was crushed into a meatloaf without even making a sound of screaming on the spot.
"Hide, hide." Usuya tore open his throat and shouted, but then he realized that the soldiers had nowhere to hide, and the shells from Liaodong fell on his eastern gate position like rain.
Before he could fully recover his senses, the sound of a shouting sounded from outside the city, and Usuya pushed away the corpse of the soldier who had been killed in order to kill him, wiped the blood from his face, and then stood up and looked out of the city, which immediately frightened him to the point of dissipation.
It was terrifying, and he saw that the attacking soldiers, like ants, were holding up the guns that had made a tata tower sound like firecrackers, and were rushing towards the opening that had just been blown open at the east gate.
"Resist, resist me." The loud shouting was indeed as silent as death, and when I looked back, I saw that there were still people alive at the entire east gate, and it was estimated that all of them had been killed by the bombardment just now.
Heaven is going to kill me, Wu Suya pointed to the sky angrily, pulled out his waist knife, put it on his neck and closed his eyes, temporarily before, he still pointed in the direction of Hetian, cursing Cheng Wenqi not to die well.
Lushun. Liu Jun had just picked up the tea and hadn't drunk it yet, when Zhong Lin's voice sounded outside: "Head, good news, good news." ”
Bullshit, if it is great news, it is that Tsarist Russia suddenly told itself that this Siberia will give you Liu Jun from now on, which is considered great news, as for the rest, that is, generalization.
"What makes you happy like this?" Seeing that Liu Jun was still holding the tea, Zheng Yiqian on the side asked with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, I just received a telegram from Wu Peifu that the Tian Hua Department of the 13th Army has taken Aksu, and more importantly, according to the information sent by the intelligence personnel of the Hotan Intelligence Station, Cheng Wenqi, the general of the Hotan Guard, is ready to submit to our Liaodong."
