Chapter 552: The First Battle of Tongguan (II)

"Brother Bai, the troops are good, what a trick, in the future, you have to spend more time on the brothers' troops, take care of it, don't go out and make people laugh. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Guo Jian's snowflake skull and Bai Lang's snowy green horse walked side by side, this winter, it was colder than usual, and between the two of them talked, bursts of white mist erupted from their mouths. Seeing that the cavalry of the Bai Lang Department was neatly lined up, although they were acting in the mountains and fields, there was no need to hide, but they still made the troops move silently, and the soldiers did not turn their heads and ears, as if they had the atmosphere of a regular army, Guo Jian couldn't help but raise his thumb.

Bai Lang said: "Don't dare to be, Commander Guo's soldiers are like walking on flat ground over mountains and mountains." Local public opinion is compatible, and Bai asks himself incomparably. ”

Although the swordsmen also had cavalry, they were mostly infantry after all. These thinly clothed infantrymen, far less disciplined than Bai Lang's troops, ran from one to the other, shouting or singing various tunes. It was as if it was not on a top-secret military mission, but on a hunting or wild trip.

Their ranks were scattered, gathered together in twos and threes, and there was no order, but by relying on their unique means of communication, the backward soldiers would not be left behind. As for deserters...... They didn't care. According to Guo Jian, if you cooperate, you will come and go if you don't agree, and if you don't want to fight, there is no need to stay. If you want to go, you can come, as long as you don't run away on the battlefield, you are a good brother.

Although their noses were red from the cold wind, they were still agile and did not hear any complaints. Their ability to survive in the wild is far above that of the Bailang Henan generals, and they only eat a few mouthfuls of dry food every day, and they can cope with the physical exertion of a day by finding a place to drink the turbid water.

In the villages along the way, after seeing Guo Jian's leader, they will open the door to greet and provide some assistance within their ability, and Guo Jian will write a few words with a stroke of his pen: "Guo Jian is entertained today, owes XX yuan in silver, and he will return it in the future." "Write the payment and date below, and it will be checked.

He was born in the green forest, but his writing and ink are excellent. A hand of calligraphy, wide open and closed, the words such as silver hook iron painting, full of pen power. As a Confucian general, Bai Lang also admired this swordsman commander who could write and martial arts. The two cherish each other, and they are very close to each other.

Guo Jian smiled: "Don't always call me Commander Guo, it's a raw part." Let's simply, worship a group of brothers, the two roads of people, combined one way, can be regarded as the salvation of the country. After the Lu army was destroyed, everyone went to Sichuan together, ate and drank spicy food and spicy food to play with the Sichuan girls, and there would be no regrets in this life. ”

As soon as he was interested, others couldn't stop him, Wang Tianzong and Hu Yunyi also came to join in the fun, and the four of them found a place casually and worshipped.

With this relationship, Bai Lang was easier to speak, and he reminded: "Third brother, you have to be careful, Tongguan is a natural danger and it is not easy to attack. Once we can't enter Tongguan, the Beiyang troops will come again, and we will be attacked on our backs! ”

"I've thought about this, on the side of the government, there is my eyeliner. If the Lu army deploys troops on a large scale, I can receive a message here. He's coming, let's go, don't have a hard time with him. If he comes with few soldiers, we will eat it. If he brings soldiers to fight my ambush, I will turn around and fight his Shangnan. I don't believe it, he can go faster than us with his baggage! ”

In the evening, the troops had already touched the vicinity of Tongguan Station, Bai Lang looked over with a telescope on his horse, and then exclaimed, "This is Tongguan?" ”

Due to financial problems, the Longhai Railway can only be repaired to Tongguan Station at present. From here to Guanzhong, you can only rely on traditional transportation methods such as animal power. What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was just an ordinary small county town. Outside the city, there are many warehouses dotted around, and even in the evening, you can see people transporting goods to the warehouses.

It seems that this station does assume the role of a military station for the turnover of front-line materials, but there is no high-walled arch guard, how can such a county town stop people. On the top of the city, the five-color flag is still fluttering, proving that this is still a Beiyang controlled area. At the head of the city and outside the city, there are Beiyang soldiers patrolling with big guns, and there are two small-caliber guns on the head of the city, reminding outsiders not to mess with their minds.

"They're on guard."

"It's right to take precautions, if there are no precautions, who of us would dare to enter this city? Tens of thousands of horses and horses are heavy on military supplies, and it is impossible to prevent them too much. According to intelligence, along with the military quartermasters, there were two regiments of the Yi Army. The one responsible for the defense of the county is another regiment, and the men and horses of a brigade in front and behind are small, and this bone is not easy to gnaw. But it doesn't matter, we are swordsmen, so we are not afraid of death. Tell the brothers, if you enter the county seat, what do you want, and if you recognize me as a big brother, you will rush me! ”

Shots rang out.

In Tongguan County in the evening, there are still many people who go in and out of the city, especially the railway only leads here, and some merchants want to enter the city to do business, and the city gate cannot be closed for a while. The guest troops marched very openly, and it took a while to contain them, and it was Bai Lang and his horse team who were the first to attack.

The cavalry, which crisscrossed Henan and shook Gyeonggi, let out a signature long howl, urging the war horses to sweep towards Tongguan. The hope of all troops for the winter, and even the future prospects, will be determined by the success or failure of this battle. Everyone knows in their hearts that in this battle, their task is very simple: forward, forward, forward, there is a dead end behind them, and there is no way back.

The motley banners were raised, the ranks that spread all over the mountains began to launch a general attack, the artillery on the top of the city began to roar, and the soldiers did their best to fulfill their duties. However, Bai Lang's department made rapid progress, and the defense line of the peripheral troops of Tongguan was quickly broken down, and then the city gate, the city wall, and the entire Tongguan would not be long before it became the bag of the monarch to save the country.

On the mountain road, some of the swordsmen who have fallen behind have begun to walk back. They didn't want to go to Tongguan, it was too dangerous. In Qiangbai, they either have good women, or they have other things that they can't give up. Among them, the most inseparable is the third wife Yang Yuzhu.

Even if you can't kiss Fang Ze, it's worth it just to watch her from a distance, watch her sing for everyone, and watch her laugh and scold.

Thinking of Yang Yuzhu's smile, especially now that Guo Jian is not here, she must be wearing a military uniform and holding a short gun, taking the place of Guo Jian in charge of city defense. When she wears a military uniform, she is the most beautiful, looking at her, her heart is like a brazier, even this cold wind, she is not afraid.

More than a dozen people who left the team talked about each other, talking about Yang Yuzhu's appearance, talking about her breasts, her feet, and talking about the parts that they would never dare to mention in front of the big bosses. The more I talked, the more I felt warm, and there was a momentum in my body that had nowhere to diverge.

Someone proposed, "Go to the village in a while and find a girl to play with." ”

"The big boss knows what to do......"

"If the big boss doesn't go back and forth, he won't know."

"Huh? It seems that there is indeed a woman on the road who is good, white, she can't see pockmarks on her face, and she knows that she blushes when she sees people......"

One of the minions suddenly said, "Wait a minute, listen, what kind of sound is this?" ”

The ears and eyes of these old robbers are all trained, and under the reminder, listen attentively, and in the wind, bursts of muffled thunderous voices come from far and near, in the direction where they are.

Horse team, this is the sound of many horses galloping. Someone hurriedly said: "Beiyang soldiers, they must be Beiyang soldiers." These melons are coming, copying our back road! ”

With more than a dozen, against such a horse team, it is destined to have no hope of winning. Their wisest choice is to hide. None of these people had guns, and one of them suddenly gritted his teeth and said:

"You guys hide, I'm going to fight them! If you can't let the big boss, you will be calculated without knowing it. As long as the gun is fired, the big boss will know it. ”

"Kai is the only son in the family, I will do this."

"It's time to fight for the ball! For the sake of Yuzhu girl, I let it go! ”

The man took off his coat and stuffed it to his companion beside him, "It's cool, your baby wears one more piece, I don't need it." Good clothes, don't let the guns make holes! ”

The person who accepted the clothes did not run away or hide, but took off his clothes and pulled out a short knife from his waist, "The one who brought the seeds, not your baby, fight with them today!" For the big boss! ”

"For Miss Yuzhu!"

"Beiyang soldiers, grandpa is fighting with you!"

The warehouses outside Tongguan City have all fallen into the hands of swordsmen. When you open the door, you can see neatly stacked sacks inside, and when you poke it with a knife, golden millet flows out of the breach, and in another warehouse, you can find a complete set of cotton clothes.

Although the materials in several warehouses are limited, it is about 100,000 catties of grain plus hundreds of sets of cotton clothes, and the rest are some civilian supplies, which the troops cannot use. But these harvests have already made the soldiers ecstatic, the main supplies must be in the city, since the warehouses outside are so fat, the city will only be better.

There is no need for mobilization, no encouragement, these materials are the best encouragement. The swordsmen shouted and rushed forward, charging with bullets. Ren is platoon shot down the attackers in the front row, and the people in the back row still rushed up to storm the city as if they didn't see it. There were only three or four charges, and the position at the head of the city changed hands.

As soon as the two battalion-level counteroffences in the city were organized, they were broken up by the Salvation King, and Bai Lang was inspired by the swordsman's desperate tactics, and he also personally supervised the battle in front of the battle with a sword. Wang Tianzong rode a horse and a knife, and rushed into battle twice on a single horse, almost being hit by a bullet. His adventure greatly boosted the morale of the troops, and the attack was extremely easy. Guo Jian nodded, "Okay, just fight like this, this time, take their grain, and see if the Lu army is still hard."

The city walls, city gates, and other hands changed hands one after another, and the next target was naturally the station. According to the intelligence, military supplies from various provinces are concentrated in the station and the surrounding warehouses, waiting for the transportation of large carts.

Silver, grain, cotton clothing, ammunition. All the supplies urgently needed to save the country can be found at the station, and the soldiers are full of strength, and the battle is becoming more and more courageous.

However, as soon as the hundreds of Salvation Monarchs in the vanguard arrived near the station, they found that a strong fortification had been built here, and before they could stop their steps, their companions behind them had already rushed quickly. Under the impetus of the crowd, it was already an extravagant hope to stand still, so he could only passively rush forward, and then, the drum sounded.

The sound of the snare drum at this time, just like the Grim Reaper's post. A large number of Beiyang soldiers appeared from behind the bunkers, and the fireworks from the muzzles of their guns were accompanied by the crackling of gunfire, like firecrackers set off to celebrate the New Year in advance. Just after the gunshot, the attackers in the first row bloomed one after another with blood.

The soldiers in the front row fell, the soldiers in the back could not restrain themselves and still rushed forward, and behind the bunker, the soldiers in the second row had already raised their rifles and started a new round of harvesting. Then, the bullets were also rained out, and the explosion rumbled. Since the attack on Tongguan, the Salvation King has finally encountered a hard bone.

According to the habit of studying in Fusang, Feng Huanzhang put his command position on the front line, and he did not distinguish from his subordinates. Sitting at the station, it was not the two regiments of the Yi Army in Guo Jian's intelligence, but the remnants of the Fengbu Shangnan after the battle, including the two battalions that originally stayed in Shangnan, the total strength was about two and a half regiments.

The fortifications had just been repaired not long ago, and the soldiers had been training hard for many days, ready to use today's exploits to wash away the shame of the previous time. From top to bottom, they have already been given a death order, and if anyone loses the station, they don't need to be beaten by others, so they can find a place to hang themselves.

The military band beat the drums very loudly, and with the beat of the drums and the shaking of the flags, the soldiers' guns were discharged in rows, and the swordsmen fell down in rows. But these men followed one after another, fearing death, and the distance between them and the position became closer and closer.

Feng Huanzhang put down the binoculars violently, and pulled out his saber, "Pass my order, three rows of rifles fire rapidly, and then prepare for white-knuckle combat!" ”

Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement.

Feng Huanzhang recalled the scene after reuniting with Zhao Guanhou during this time, he didn't have his luck, he couldn't get so many beauties, and he couldn't get help from all parties. All you can rely on is your own hands and your own skills. All good days can only be obtained by one's own ability, and today is an opportunity to prove oneself.

The banner of Feng Zi moved forward, and the officers and men of the whole brigade loaded their bayonets and rushed towards the heroes in Guanzhong. Bayonets against infinite knives, officers and soldiers against heroes in the rivers and lakes. The flow of people on both sides collided with each other to catch and fight, and people fell almost every moment.

The Blademan retreated, dropping down corpses and color numbers all over the ground. Feng Huanzhang immediately ordered, "Our army should not take prisoners, and if they find the bandits, they will all be executed on the spot!" ”

Listening to the screams of his comrades, the eyes of the sixth child in the whole life turned red, and he roared angrily, "If I don't destroy this army of officers and soldiers, I won't be human." Brothers, rush with me and avenge the death of your brothers! ”

The casualties of the Salvation King in a short period of time exceeded 500 people, but not an inch of land was obtained, and the station was still firmly controlled by the Beiyang Army.

Guo Jian was also informed at this time, and frowned: "It's really fucking weird, how can you take it down from the outer city, the station is struggling." Come on, go and ask Second Master Bai, Fourth Master Hu, and let their soldiers also go over to help, even if you use someone to fill it, you have to fill in the station for me today. ”

As soon as his order was delivered, a fast horse came running from the other side, and the man on the horse was very embarrassed, and said as he ran: "Big boss, it's not good, we're fooled, the warehouse ...... There are no military quarters in the warehouses at all! ”

Guo Jian's complexion changed, and he pointed with a horsewhip, "You lead the way, lead me to see, lie to protect the military situation to see that I won't kill you!" ”

Although he was ruthless in his mouth, he was thinking in his heart: Could it be that he really responded to Yuzhu's words and fell into the trap today? (To be continued.) )
