July 31, 1900, six o'clock in the morning.

The sharp whistle sounded throughout the second station town, although most of the Black Dragon officers and soldiers went to bed late last night, but the habit of morning exercise was not interrupted because of this, and when the whistle sounded, the new and old soldiers were all under the leadership of the squad leader, and quickly devoted themselves to the morning exercise.

Yue Weihua is no exception, although he didn't sleep until more than three o'clock in the morning last night, but Yue Weihua's accurate biological clock made it difficult for him to continue sleeping, of course, almost three hours of rest time was enough for Yue Weihua to recover his strength, after all, after a baptism and strengthening of merit and luck, that quality is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

"Commander, the Qiao regiment of the Eighteenth Union Fort always asks to see you." Yue Weihua was just about to go to the morning exercise when he heard Bian Zhiyuan knocking on the door and reporting.

"Coming so soon?" Yue Weihua was stunned.

After the second station was defeated last night, Yue Weihua sent someone to invite Qiao San to come over today, mainly to chat with Qiao San and see if he could let Qiao San bring people to help stabilize the situation at the second station, after all, in addition to the three big forces in the town of the second station (it was four before, and now Su Ma's family has been destroyed), there are also many small beards, and at present, Yue Weihua wants to lead the Black Dragon Army to Heihetun to fight Lao Maozi, so naturally he can't leave enough force to deter the beards around him.

"Brother Qiao, are you fast enough?"

"Haha, Commander Yue beckoned, where do I Qiao dare to be lazy, I can't hide it, you asked me to bring the group training, and now my one hundred and fifty brothers are waiting at the gate of the town." Qiao San said with a smile.

Yue Weihua invited Qiao San to come, Qiao San really didn't come, after all, Yue Weihua is now the proprietor of the Eighteen Lianbao, employing more than 1,000 strong laborers in the Eighteen Lianbao, and more importantly, through the output of these laborers, Qiao San got dozens of guns and thousands of bullets from Yue Weihua, and as long as Yue Weihua is still employed, it is a steady stream of guns and bullets, this thing is what Qiao San values the most, after all, it is not easy to survive in troubled times, without enough guns and ammunition, it is impossible to live.

Moreover, this time, Yue Weihua invited Qiao San to lead the group to practice and sit in the second station, deterring the young people, it is not free, the conditions are very rich, a full hundred guns, of course, the old sleeve, and another 10,000 bullets, this is the immediate reward, and in the future, Yue Weihua is also willing to operate and manage the territory of the second station together, these conditions are all Qiao San can not refuse.

"Brother Qiao, it's really a refreshing person, okay." Yue Weihua smiled very satisfied, and then immediately ordered: "Zhiyuan, you personally go to the gate of the town, bring in the brothers of the Eighteen Lianbao, and find a place to settle down, understand?" ”

After Yue Weihua invited Qiao San to sit down, the two chatted, Qiao San was very curious that the Black Dragon Army could pull out the Su Ma clan overnight and take the territory of the second station, after all, the strength of the Su Ma clan was beyond doubt, otherwise it would be impossible for the Su Ma clan to be the soil emperor of the second station.

"Commander Yue, speaking of which, we also want to thank you for the eighteen forts, thank you for pulling out a tumor for the people of the second station." Qiao San said with emotion, how many bad things Su Ma Clan has done, Qiao San, the people of the second station, are the most deeply touched, not to mention before, even in the past two years, the Eighteen Lianbao have been united, and they still often have to suffer from Su Ma's exploitation and oppression.

"If it weren't for the Su Ma clan being too rampant, I didn't plan to do it at this time, after all, the invasion of Tsarist Russia is imminent, Brother Qiao, you should also know, right?" Yue Weihua said.

"I know, how can I not know, in the entire jurisdiction of the deputy capital of Aihui, but all the forces with a few guns are estimated to have received a notice from the deputy capital of the government, like us, who have hundreds of guns, General Yang personally sent someone to send a letter, declaring the righteousness of protecting the family and defending the country, let us be sure to send people to resist Russia." Qiao San said truthfully.

"Then what do you think, originally I planned to hand over the second station to Brother Qiao to sit in charge, if Brother Qiao also wants to personally lead the group to practice to resist the enemy, then I will have to find another way." Yue Weihua said helplessly.

"It is the duty of the husband to protect the family and defend the country, Qiao is absolutely duty-bound, but after all, the Eighteen Lianbao is a loose alliance, and the group exercises are all combined by each village and each tun, and Qiao just wants to take all the group exercises to go, and it is impossible." Qiao San also said helplessly.

"I can understand all this, then Brother Qiao will help me sit in the second station, as for General Yang, when the time comes, I will say that the regimental training of the Eighteen Lianbao has been temporarily incorporated into our Yue's Dart Bureau, I think General Yang should not say anything." Yue Weihua said.

"No, to protect the family and defend the country, I must participate." Qiao San replied with certainty, Qiao San once served as a soldier under General Yang and worked as a border guard for many years, most of the hearts of such soldiers are hot-blooded, and they have never forgotten the mission of protecting their families and defending the country.

"Brother Qiao, that's good." Yue Weihua gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Where, compared with Commander Yue, I, Qiao, is really not worth mentioning, but I can only take my brothers who belong directly to our Qiaojiabao to go, by the way, Commander Yue, the idea you just came up with is very good, if Commander Yue doesn't mind, in the next anti-Russian battle, our brothers in the Eighteen Lianbao are willing to advance and retreat with Commander Yue, I don't know what Commander Yue wants?" Qiao San said bluntly.

Qiao San was able to take his brothers to the battlefield this time only fifty or sixty people, and on the battlefield where tens of thousands of people were at every turn, his fifty or sixty people were too few, and it was impossible for General Yang to divide the position for them and let them defend the position alone, and in the end, they would definitely be incorporated into other teams, it might be the Qing army, or it could be other rebels.

Rather than this, Qiao San might as well take people directly, defect or fight with Yue Weihua, at least after this period of contact, Yue Weihua and his people, Qiao San thinks that he is still a friend worth befriending, and he should not be able to do anything to make himself cannon fodder, of course, if it weren't for Yue Weihua taking down the second station this time, revealing the extraordinary combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Army, Qiao San may not have made this decision.

For Qiao San's proposal, Yue Weihua naturally has no reason to refuse, Qiao San is already well versed in military affairs, and Qiaojiabao's regimental training combat effectiveness should not be weak, and at least it is certain that these men will not be cowardly soft goods, of course, Yue Weihua has a deeper idea, that is, to gradually annex the Eighteen Lianbao, you must know that the Eighteen Lianbao has one or two thousand young people, and they are all mountain people near the second station Bulun Mountain, which is definitely the best source of soldiers for the Black Dragon Army at present.

So the two hit it off, although they are not subordinate to each other, but they are really going to the battlefield, as long as Qiao San doesn't want to go alone, he must obey Yue Weihua's arrangement, as for the stability of the second station, the problem of stability has also been solved, Qiao San brought a total of more than 150 brothers this time, of which nearly 100 regimental exercises are to stay in the second station, although they are from the eighteenth joint fort, but most of them are not from Qiaojiabao, guarding the second station for Yue Weihua, they are still willing to do it, after all, the risk is not big, and the benefits are not small.

After finishing the conversation with Qiao San, having some breakfast together, and agreeing to set off together in the evening, Qiao San got up and said goodbye, and went to arrange for someone to prepare to take over the affairs of the second station town, and Yue Weihua's affairs were even more, the gold and silver seized by the second station were soft, and the food and materials were all pointed to Yue Weihua to transfer them to the wolf lair, these things are really a lot, even if the merit tower has a thousand cubic meters of space, it is estimated that it will take more than a dozen trips.

Fortunately, the wolf domain is only twenty miles away from the second station, and it takes more than half an hour to ride a horse back and forth, so Yue Weihua turned into a hard-working little bee, and has been running on the mountain road since the morning, and a total of sixteen trips back and forth finally moved all the materials in the second station to the wolf domain.

In the blink of an eye, the sun is setting.

Yue Weihua gave an order, the Black Dragon Army set off, the war horse is definitely not enough, only two people can ride, transfer to each other, speed up the march, after two hours of marching, at about eight o'clock in the night, Yue Weihua led the soldiers, came to the eastern destination of Heihe Tuncheng District - Flar Mountain.

Vlar Mountain is located about two or three kilometers northeast of Heihe Tuncheng, less than two kilometers away from the Heishui River Bank Wharf, there is a road at the foot of Vlar Mountain, this road is the only way to go to Heihe Tuncheng District after landing at the Heishui River Bank Wharf, and Vlar Mountain is the blocking position chosen by Yue Weihua, of course, it can only be regarded as a second-line position, because the first-line positions are all on the Heishui River Bank, all guarded by the Qing army.

Five days ago, Yue Weihua led the soldiers of the reconnaissance company to personally come to the vicinity of Heihetun to investigate, and at the same time combined his own historical knowledge, and finally chose Vlar Mountain as the position, in fact, this position, Yang Fengxiang was originally going to be handed over to the Boxers led by Zou Boxer in Aihui District to defend it, because once the coastal defense line is lost, this will be a safe passage for the Qing army to retreat to Heihetun City, and Yang Fengxiang must be handed over to reliable people to guard it.

There are nearly 1,000 boxers under the Boxer Zou Boxer, and since Yang Fengxiang took office as the deputy commander of Aihui at the end of last year, he has been giving all kinds of support to the Boxers who are operating in the Aihui area, not only providing repaired old guns, knives and spears to the Boxers, but also sending officers to train the Boxers, so the Boxers under Zou Boxer still have a certain combat effectiveness.

Of course, if Yang Fengxiang has enough troops in his hands, he will definitely choose to send his own army to garrison and defend this place, but unfortunately Yang Fengxiang only has 16 battalions under his hands, and there are 8,000 people in the full state, but the area he needs to garrison is more than 150 miles from Wudao Huoluo in the north to the coast of Fular Kitun in the south, and even the first-line defense is stretched, so the second line can only be handed over to the rebels and regimental trainers from all walks of life.

Yang Fengxiang was able to hand over Vlar Mountain to Yue Weihua to garrison, that was through Yue Xiang's repeated assurances, and Yue Xiang promised to summon at least 1,000 righteous men from all walks of life to garrison, of course, Yue Weihua annihilated the Wolf Tooth Hall, showing good combat effectiveness, which was the key to Yang Fengxiang's release.

After five days of five days of work on Vlar Mountain, the fortifications of the positions above have been completely completed in accordance with Yue Weihua's requirements, and the Black Dragon Army has come here in advance, what needs to be done is to familiarize themselves with the position and the surrounding environment, and then wait for the arrival of the Tsarist Russian army.
