On October 6, 1900, the Eighteenth Union Fort, the Qing Army's Shuai's Tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shengjing General Zeng Qi was the first in the middle, Jiang Youxiao, the Zhengdu Commander, Liu Zhong, the deputy commander of Qihar, was on the right, and other generals all sat in the tent in order of rank.

"This war, seeing that it is about to end, it seems that the Black Dragon Army is already 'at the end of the road', the commander-in-chief of Tsarist Russia, General Kuzuosco, has also called many times, urging us to strengthen the attack on the Black Dragon Army, all of which have been perfunctory by me, and now Tsarist Russia has penetrated the wolf domain, and is ready to enter the depths of Buren Mountain, continue to pursue the remnants of the Black Dragon Army, and strongly invite our army to participate in the war."

"In the past, I was able to refuse Tsarist Russia, that is because the Eighteen-Union Fort is connected to the core of the Wolf Domain, and our side also needs to prevent the Black Dragon Army from withdrawing from the Eighteen-Union Fort, so the commander-in-chief Kuzuosco can't say anything, but now that the Black Dragon Army on our side has withdrawn, and there is no enemy in front of us, if we don't go to join with Tsarist Russia and jointly go into the mountains to pursue the remnants of the Black Dragon Army, it seems a little unreasonable."

"I don't know, what do you think?"

……

Tsarist Russia began to attack the fourth and fifth levels of the wolf domain on October 2, and attacked sleepless and nightless for four consecutive days, once again paying the price of more than 28,000 troops, and finally broke through the wolf domain, and completely "drove the remnants of the Black Dragon Army into" the depths of the Buren Mountain, "surviving for a long time".

In just four days, he was able to win the fourth and fifth levels, which has to be said to be due to many factors.

First, the arrival of 30,000 reinforcements from Tsarist Russia has increased the number of available troops in the hands of Cuzosco, and of course, after four days, this battle loss has almost offset the number of reinforcements.

Second, the weapons assistance from Britain and the United States finally arrived two days ago, and a large amount of ammunition was replenished, especially the firepower and equipment of the two artillery regiments, which gave Tsarist Russia wings.

The third is that the continuous heavy snow weather has accumulated a thick layer of snow on the entire Buren Mountain, and the mountain is about to be closed by heavy snow, so the Tsarist side is in a hurry, so the attack of Tsarist Russia in the past few days is really at any cost, regardless of casualties, and it is really to take your life and fill it again.

In fact, the snow is getting thicker, and the Black Dragon Army is also very anxious, after all, once the snow is really heavy and the mountain is closed, and after the war is over, it is not easy for their side to jump out, after all, there are still five or six thousand troops left in the Black Dragon Army Bulun Mountain, of course, the external performance is probably more than 2,000 remnants of the defeated generals, so the Black Dragon Army, the release of water in the past few days is more powerful than before.

It is precisely because of so many comprehensive factors that the Black Dragon Army "rout" faster, and the Black Dragon Army's rout was too fast, Tsarist Russia was naturally happy, but the Qing Army, which was also in the coalition camp, was sad, as Zeng Qi said, they had no excuse to avoid the war, and had no choice but to convene this military meeting, in fact, the main thing was to see the attitude of Jiang Youxiao and Liu Zhong, after all, although Zeng Qi was General Shengjing and the boss of the Qing army, his descendants only had five or six thousand men left, far less than Jiang Youxiao's troops, It is even much less than Liu Zhong, the deputy commander of Qihar.

"General, do you still need to think about it, the Black Dragon Army is already at the end of its rope, if you don't chase it at this moment, when will you wait?"

After Zeng Qi finished speaking, after a moment of silence at the scene, he didn't expect that the first person to jump out and speak was actually the military advisor Xu Shiming who was sitting behind Zeng Qi.

Originally, Xu Shiming's arrival made Zeng Qi excited for a while, but Xu Shiming's several strategies sounded very good, but the implementation was not smooth, just say that the matter of catching the strong man to replenish the source of troops, the strategy is indeed a good strategy, but the key is that the people here are too strong, and the gains and losses of this strong man outweigh the losses, and in the end, he actually attracted the reprimand and threat of Yue Weihua, the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army, and finally had to give up.

Also, it is to give advice to Tsarist Russia, let Tsarist Russia capture the people and attack the city, this can be called a poisonous plan in a poisonous plan, and it was also proposed by Xu Shiming himself to Kuzuo Sisco, this strategy, to be honest, Zeng Qi couldn't bear it, and said to his face that it was best not to use it, and it was definitely not used in the Qing army, so Xu Shiming ran to Kuzuo Sisco's side and told him secretly.

As a result, Tsarist Russia adopted it, and the initial test effect was also good, and it was easy to win a level, but then the Black Dragon Army stabbed this matter to the world, and killed prisoners to stop the killing, and finally fell short, but the impact of this is quite bad, once Tsarist Russia poked out Xu Shiming's advice, then Zeng Zeng Qi is afraid that he will be implicated, and he will be drowned by the spittle of the people.

Of course, after all, he has relied on the military advisor for many years, and Zeng Qi's inner changes have not been shown, so Xu Shiming himself does not know at all, and he still considers himself to be Zeng Qi's arm, so as soon as Zeng Qi opened his mouth, Xu Shiming expressed his opinion.

"Master Xu is calm and don't be impatient, let's see the opinions of other generals."

As soon as Xu Shiming spoke, Zeng Qi had to speak, because Xu Shiming's opinion was obviously inconsistent with his inner thoughts, and he didn't want others to misunderstand, so he interjected as soon as possible, the purpose was to hope that Xu Shiming would stop making a lot of nonsense.

Xu Shiming looked at Zeng Qi, a little stunned, it stands to reason that this kind of military meeting, as Zeng Qi's personal staff, has no official or position, and he is not even qualified to sit at the table, but since Zeng Qi sat in the position of General Sheng Jing, Xu Shiming is the second protagonist in almost every military division meeting, I didn't expect that just today when he spoke, Zeng Qi actually shut up directly, although he was dissatisfied, but Xu Shiming had to respond: "Yes, general." ”

This episode didn't cause too much turmoil at the scene, after all, the people sitting here are all Qing generals, and the matter of Xu Shiming and Zeng Qi is just a personal matter. ”

Jiang Youxiao was a little helpless, this is really difficult to open, but since he has been named, it will definitely not work if he doesn't say it, so he coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and then said: "Although the intelligence of all parties, including Tsarist Russia, has reported a phenomenon, that is, the Black Dragon Army is really at the end of its rope, and the remaining troops are two or three thousand defeated soldiers, but my intuition tells me that this situation is very untrue." ”

"Oh, unreal?" Zeng Qi said lightly: "Tell me about the specifics? ”

"Yes." Jiang Youxiao arched his hand, and continued: "Since Tsarist Russia used dirty means to win the second level of the wolf domain, starting from the battle of the third level, the combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Army seems to have dropped a little too fast, whether it is the investment of troops or the support of artillery, the Black Dragon Army has fallen too conspicuously, conspicuous to the discerning people, as long as you enter the battlefield for a day and a half, you can feel it, such a performance is too obvious, I think as a team that can only fight well, the Black Dragon Army should not make such a mistake, this is one of them." ”

"Second, I don't know what you think, but in my Jiang Youxiao's eyes, the Black Dragon Army should be a team with firm beliefs, a strong will to fight, and would rather die than admit defeat, but, look at it, from the third level, the belief in victory of the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army seems to be gone, and the will to fight is also weak, it seems that it doesn't matter if you lose, I think this is too abnormal."

"Third, the Black Dragon Army has a large army, which completely defeated the 40,000 troops under General Jilin in the south, and it is even rumored that General Jilin has been captured, but if the Black Dragon Army is really facing the danger of death, why don't you see this team to help, this is the third abnormal."

"Based on these three abnormalities, I think what the Black Dragon Army is showing now is probably not the real situation, but something else, as for what it is, it's hard to say."

Jiang Youxiao Zhengdu Tong is a real general after all, and he climbed to the Zhengdu Orthodoxy step by step, from a high position as a first-class officer, and his ability to lead troops to fight may not be able to be displayed for some reasons, but this insight into the battlefield is by no means comparable to a semi-soldier like Zeng Qi.

However, as soon as Jiang Youxiao finished speaking, Liu Zhong, the deputy commander of Qihar, couldn't wait to jump out and retorted: "Hehe, I don't think the general is exaggerated." ”

"One of what Jiang Dutong said, the combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Army has declined too fast, in my opinion, it is normal, after all, Tsarist Russia and our Qing court coalition army, has invested nearly 200,000 troops, although the battle has only passed half a month, but the fierce battle, the bloody battle, the scale of the battle, it is really the only time in our lives, such a battle, half a month has passed, as a team that has risen for only a few months, there is no background, the combat effectiveness, suddenly fell faster, I think this is too normal."

"If you explain one clearly, then the second is easy to understand, the combat effectiveness is declining, and the will to fight will naturally decline, and the belief in victory will inevitably be met with self-doubt, which will eventually lead to the acceleration of the rout, which is easy to understand."

"As for the team of the Black Dragon Army blocking the southern army, whether they came to help, this is probably not enough based on speculation, maybe, that team has already entered the wolf domain, but we don't know that they have already participated in the war, of course, it is also possible that the black dragon army thinks that the wolf domain will be defeated, and that team will stay outside, leaving a hope for themselves, so that he can make a comeback one day, it is also possible."

"However, no matter what, I think that the power of the Black Dragon Army in the wolf domain should indeed be the remnants of the defeated army, so I support sending troops to cooperate with Tsarist Russia to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Black Dragon Army, after all, the weapons and equipment of the Black Dragon Army are very advanced, I heard that all countries are very greedy, we now have a chance to take it, have a chance to occupy it, why not?"

"I support what Vice Dutong Liu said, the equipment of the Black Dragon Army is more advanced than that of Western countries, if we can seize a large number of samples, and even get the drawings, and catch some technicians, this will make my weapons and equipment of the Qing Dynasty a big grade, even if we can't produce it ourselves, we can also cooperate with foreigners,......。"

"I support what Jiang Dutong said, the Black Dragon Army is a skinny camel bigger than a horse, let's not be blinded by this little profit in front of us, if the Black Dragon Army is deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, it has already brewed a big plan, just wait to enter Bulun Mountain and then eat us and Tsarist Russia in one bite, then the strategy we have adhered to for so long will not be in vain."

"I ,...... too"

"Hmph, if you're afraid of death, go back early."

"Hehe, you're not afraid of death, so why don't you dare to fight, what are you doing here with us?"

……

As soon as the two bigwigs finished speaking, the generals behind them immediately jumped out one by one to support their side, at the beginning they still stated their reasons and fought each other, but after a few more words, the two sides began to scold, just when Zeng Qi wanted to yell and stop the scolding war, his personal guard suddenly came to his side and whispered: "My lord, Jilin General Changshun called." ”

Zeng Qi was stunned when he heard it, Changshun was captured, or the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army told him, and afterwards, he also sent someone to inquire, although no one saw Changshun captured with his own eyes, but it is a fact that the Qing army in Jilin was captured on a large scale.

As soon as he thought of this, Zeng Qi got up directly, and then walked out of the conference room regardless of the discussion behind, and then asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Your Excellency, General Changshun said in the telegram that he led the captured Qing army last night and successfully defeated the Black Dragon Army guards, and the Qing army on the southern road of more than 30,000 people has returned to his subordinates,......。"

"What, how is that possible?" Zeng Qi frowned, and asked anxiously: "The authenticity of the telegram has been verified, it can't be pretended by the Black Dragon Army, right?" ”

"Tell your lordship, the telecommunications room has been checked again and again, and with his life as a guarantee, it is definitely General Jilin calling, otherwise, he would not dare to disturb the commander when he holds a military meeting." The guard affirmed.

"Haha, that's good." Zeng Qi laughed, and then ordered: "Call immediately and ask General Changshun of Jilin, where the Black Dragon Army is going, where the main force of the Black Dragon Army that defeated him is, how many Black Dragon Army defenders they have defeated, and what is he going to do next?" ”

"Wow."

"Forget it, I'll go to the telecommunications room with you and wait for you." Zeng Qi walked a few steps, called another person, and ordered: "Tell those guys that Ben Shuai has not returned, don't hurry to leave, let them continue to discuss." ”

"Wow."

Zeng Qi personally squatted in the telecommunications room, and soon got the answer he wanted, and then kept laughing, returned to the tent, and said: "Haha, everyone, don't argue anymore, listen to this commander's order, all departments prepare immediately, the remnants of the Black Dragon Army are defeated, let's settle it." ”

"General, but what new information is there?" Jiang Youxiao asked anxiously, it was obvious that he was not in favor of fighting.

"Of course, if there is no latest information, how can this commander dare to be arbitrary." Zeng Qiyan said: "Just now, I received a telegram from Jilin General Changshun, just last night, Changshun led the captured soldiers, defeated the Black Dragon Army guards, and captured a lot of live mouths, after interrogation, I learned that the main force of the Black Dragon Army South Road, in fact, has already sneaked back to the Wolf Domain through secret channels, because the Wolf Domain is the lair of the Black Dragon Army, they can't bear to give up. ”

"General, even so, I can't be sure that this is not a strategy of the Black Dragon Army." Jiang Youxiao asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, Jiang Dutong, do you know why Changshun was able to successfully defeat the guards?" Zeng Qi laughed back: "Because the guards of the Black Dragon Army also know that the Black Dragon Army is about to be defeated, there have been many Black Dragon Army guards who have secretly left in the past few days, which has led to Changshun having a chance, obviously, this is a sign that the tree is falling and scattering." ”

"It's hard to be sure, right?" Jiang Youxiao was still skeptical.

"Hehe, Jiang Dutong, take the order." Zeng Qi said solemnly: "Don't you know, our Qing Dynasty is now in turmoil, in Yanjing, Britain, France, the United States and other countries are negotiating with Lord Zhongtang on compensation matters, this battle, if our army participates in the war and achieves a final victory, it will definitely be able to increase the voice of our Qing Dynasty, thereby reducing compensation and so on." ”

"Hey."

Jiang Youxiao let out a long sigh, and then took the order and left.
