Chapter 149: The War in Guangxi (1)

Song Naruto had already understood at this time that the most important problem in Guangdong had been solved, and all that remained was to deal with the aftermath, to be precise, to recover the territory that had been lost in Guangdong Province, which was a relatively simple matter, because the people's hearts were on the side of the Zhenwu army.

Guangxi Province can be said to be the weakest link in this Qing army's attack, and the Qing army used to attack the army of Guangxi Province was only Zhang Shuo, the governor of Huguang, who sent a general army to lead an army of 20,000 to attack.

Because in the eyes of these high-ranking officials of the Qing court, Guangxi Province was the least important and dispensable, and Li Zhongju did not send the main force to defend in Guangxi. Compared with the other three provinces, Guangxi's defense can be said to be extremely fragile.

On December 23, 1888, Xu Haoqing, the general soldier of Jianhe under Zhang Shuo, the governor of Huguang, led an army of 20,000 to take several counties of Guilin Prefecture in Guangxi Province.

Li Yi will use some time to train the army every day, and he has always implemented the commander's "sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime." ".

Li Yi was one of the first Zhijie to follow Li Zhongju, he won the trust of Li Zhongju, and at the same time his ability is also outstanding, since he was promoted to the governor of Guangxi Province, he has trembled, fulfilled his duties, and sincerely served the people.

This time, when he learned that Commander Li Zhongju had entrusted himself with full responsibility for the war in Guangxi Province, he was not only surprised, but also excited. He understood that this was the commander's greatest recognition of himself.

Li Yi led the army all the way to the north, non-stop, although it was tiring, it could completely exercise the soldiers' perseverance and willpower, and at the same time, it could also exercise their bodies.

Xu Haoqing, the chief soldier of Jianhe, is really energetic now, when has he commanded an army of 20,000 to attack, this is something that has not happened before. This time, he must strive to win Guangxi Province and win glory for Zhang Shuo, the governor of Huguang.

Xu Haoqing saw that the entire Guilin Mansion was almost under his own control, and he was in a very good mood, he had already taken the first step towards success, would the road ahead be difficult?

Is the road ahead? Xu Haoqing felt that it should not be difficult, because he had already fought with Zhenwu Army, and he felt that it was not as magical as rumored by the outside world.

Relatively speaking, Li Yi will definitely feel that Xu Haoqing is a fool's dream, Guangxi Province is so easy to be captured, how is it possible. I haven't done it yet, how can I let the Qing army take away Guangxi Province.

Li Yi also read the book "Modern Warfare" written by Li Zhongju, and Li Yi has studied many of the contents in the book, and Li Yi also has a certain amount of research on military affairs.

Li Yi led the army through many places, people were all excited, recently heard that the Qing Tartars called, they were all panicked, and today the government finally began to act, and the governor personally led the army, they were all extremely excited.

The people watched the Zhenwu army stride by, and the excitement in their hearts was beyond words, and they all silently blessed the Zhenwu army to achieve victory.

On December 26, 1888, Li Yi led the army and finally arrived in the central part of Liuzhou Mansion, and at this time Xu Haoqing led the army to almost arrive here. The armies of both sides will meet here, and what will happen after that is self-evident.

Xu Haoqing's speed was also very fast, of course, all this was because the defense of Guangxi Province was very weak, and when he heard that nearly 20,000 troops were rushing towards his army from the south, his heart immediately became excited.

Xu Haoqing is an arrogant and arrogant person, who always thinks that he is the first in the world, if it weren't for the fact that he has no one in the court, I am afraid that he would have achieved the position of a feudal official at this time.

This time, I finally won the opportunity to march independently, and I did a good job along the way. This time he will immediately encounter the main army of the enemy, Xu Hao smiled lightly, not caring at all.

The armies of the two sides were only ten miles apart at this time, and the scout troops in front had begun to make contact, and carried out a fight, of course, the Zhenwu army won a complete victory, and the scout army of the Qing army was not the opponent of the Zhenwu army at all.

A scout of the Zhenwu Army rode a red horse, carried an S1 rifle on his shoulder, and more than a dozen grenade bullets around his waist, and he ran forward with five or six scouts dressed like him.

As soon as they walked three or four miles, they found a group of more than a dozen Qing soldiers wearing braids, which they knew was the scout team of the Qing army.

They did not hesitate to exchange fire with their opponents, and a lot of sparks were stirred up in an instant. Since the scouts of the Zhenwu Army are all the elite of the elite, their marksmanship is not ordinarily good.

Therefore, before the Qing army scouts came to their senses, they were instantly solved by the Zhenwu army scouts.

"Not good, enemy attack!" A Qing soldier immediately shouted.

Bang, a bullet passed through his chest in an instant, and he fell to the ground quietly, his eyes too late to close.

Bang bang bang, bang bang, bang bang...... Dozens of gunshots followed, and the rest of the Qing army scouts were all disposed of, and except for one soldier who was slightly injured, no one else was injured in the slightest.

The scout team of the Zhenwu Army then continued to move forward under the leadership of the squad leader, but this time they were more cautious. After all, there was a war with the Qing army just now, and the rest of the people on the other side may have already felt it.

The scouts continued to move on, and eventually they completed the task with great success, and of course with the help of their brothers. More than a dozen scouts returned to Li Yi, and the captain of the scout team reported to Li Yi the details of the enemy's army.

Li Yi nodded after hearing this, and immediately ordered the army to rest in place, and at the same time ordered the scout team to pay close attention to the movements of the Qing army, and report as soon as there was a movement.

Later, Li Yi asked them to start building a simple military position, preparing to use the defense, although Li Yi knew that the Zhenwu army was much stronger than the opponent, but in order to reduce the army's losses as much as possible, Li Yi still ordered the army to arrange a defensive formation.

Li Yi is such a good officer who loves soldiers like a son, and he also likes to communicate with these soldiers, eat together, and listen to their reactions to food and so on.

Li Yi's gaze looked at the position in the southwest, Commander, are you okay? A decisive battle is about to begin here, and I will do my best to win this victory for you, Commander.

Xu Haoqing, who was eighteen or nineteen miles away, also ordered the army to camp on the spot and prepare to eat and rest. Before fighting, the soldiers must be fed and drunk well, otherwise they will not have the strength to fight. (To be continued.) )
