Qi Ruhu, the sentry officer of the Beiyang Army, who was responsible for the defense of the nameless peak on the left, threw away the revolver that had run out of ammunition in his hand, and then pulled out his saber and launched a white-knuckle charge against the swarming Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Jun has always had the habit of paying attention to white blades, and all the sentry Lu soldiers raised their bayonets and pounced on them with the commander. The sword is as bright as snow, the morale is like a rainbow, and the Zhejiang army, which has just reached the peak, has not yet gained a firm foothold, and is forced to fall by the bayonet assault.

Dong Fang, the leader of the Zhejiang soldiers, said angrily: "Give me all the skills, don't embarrass the chief, think about the Jianhu Woman, think about the martyr Xu!" ”

He was born under Qiu Jingxiong, and among the troops, most of them took the Jianhu Woman as an example, and when they heard the mobilization of the commander, their morale resurged, and they raised their bayonets and killed them back. The soldiers of both sides were not afraid to meet the white blade with their chests, and greeted each other with bayonets.

The Zhejiang army, which had the advantage of numbers, could only draw with a sentry Huai army, and due to the terrain restrictions, the superior forces could not be displayed. And the performance of the Huai army is completely different from the Jin soldiers that the people's army has seen, they don't know what the word fear is, and they are not afraid to launch a white-knives fight with weak forces. The sentry officer Qi was like a tiger and was wounded three times, but he still took the lead in the charge, and wherever he went, there was no one to control the Zhejiang army.

The rear army was suddenly shaken, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was loud, and as soon as I heard the sound of explosions, I knew that it was a bullet left by my hand. Qi Ruhu shouted: "It's our people, we only have it, it's our own people!" ”

It was a sentry Huai army who came to help, and the soldiers helped each other, fought with extra hard work, bit a gap behind the new army, and successfully joined Qi Ruhu. The commander of the reinforcements, who was helping Jiang Ziru, came to Qi Ruhu with a gun, and when he saw that he was covered in blood, he hurriedly asked: "Old Qi, you go down and bandage it, and the command will be handed over to me......"

"Don't bother, the family can be regarded as an invalid this time, and it's time to divide the land and get the pension. Lord Jiang, the position is handed over to you, don't embarrass the Huaishang man......" Qi Ruhu opened his mouth fiercely, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the person immediately fell.

Jiang Ziru probed his pulse, got up and said, "Brothers, avenge Lao Qi and kill them all!" ”

The balance was broken, and the Huai army seemed to have burst out with all its strength in an instant, and began to counterattack like a mad demon, Dong Fang's battalion, not only failed to take the high ground, but was chased all the way to the tail, the battalion flag was captured, and Dong Fang's head also became the trophy of this army. In the two days after the start of the battle, several pipe bands were killed one after another, and the other battalion pipe bands already had obvious fear, and the speed of attack was greatly slowed down.

An even more fatal problem has occurred.

The giant cannon on the top of the hill finally completed the turn, and under the operation of the artillery, began to function. Ge Ming's army, an infantry outpost, was engulfed by the fire of the fortress artillery before it could enter the position, and the loss of more than a third of a sentry was reduced to a supplementary army before it could enter the battlefield.

What is even more tragic is the fried egg death squad formed by the Shanghai army, a team of 200 people, each carrying six fried eggs, ready to fight with the fifth town. I didn't want the troops to have bad luck in battle, so they were shrouded by the shelling of the fortress artillery, and then the fried eggs on their bodies exploded. Before the climb began, more than half of the death squad was killed or wounded, and the rest abandoned the eggs and fled back in disarray, and the plan to seize the fort was declared bankrupt.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Dibaocheng finally picked out the white flag, and the Dibaocheng, which was the focus of the fortress artillery, took the lead in withstanding the artillery attack and announced its surrender. The troops who captured the fort in Jiangning had also suffered heavy casualties in the attack and defense of Tianbao City, and had to temporarily retreat into the city to recuperate.

Zou Xiurong was originally arranged in the camp and was not allowed to come out to avoid being injured by stray bullets. But at about four o'clock, the gunfire outside had basically stopped, and she grabbed a horse and went straight to Zhongshan. The soldiers did not dare to stop them, so they had to be accompanied by four soldiers.

The smoke of gunpowder rushed into Zou Xiurong's nose with the smell of burning, making her smoke to the point of nausea, and the wounded soldiers who were carried back from the front line let out a painful wail on the unit price. The captives were beaten with leather whips and sticks by the soldiers, and rushed to the camp, where they were immediately and mercilessly beaten.

Zou Xiurong stopped a soldier from beating him and asked the captive, "Which unit are you from, and how many people are left in your army?" ”

The captive looked at her, and then was beaten with a few sticks, and hurriedly said: "The villain was originally from the ninth town, and there are only three people left in our outpost, and they have all become prisoners......"

Zou Xiurong's eyes were dark, why did the Chinese fight the battle of the Chinese so cruelly? Her heart, as if a big stone had fallen, urged the horse violently, rushed straight to Zhong Shan, and shouted loudly: "Don't stop me, I want to see the fourth child!" I want to see the crown! I'm his second sister-in-law, I want to see him! ”

But only Cheng Yue greeted her, although the latter was not injured, but his face was not too good-looking, first let Zou Xiurong sit down, and then said slowly: "After the master surrendered in Dibao City, he had already left the position, and Mei Yao walked with him." ”

"Where did they go?"

Cheng Yue got up and pointed in the direction of Jiangning. The remnant sun was like blood, and the head of the stone city was illuminated with blood red, and Zhao Guanhou entered the city.

Due to the formation of death squads and the mobilization of troops to launch a counterattack on Tianbao City, most of the troops of the Shanghai army were mobilized, and most of the remaining parts were also guarded by the gates of Jiangning and the place where Chen Lenghe was placed under house arrest, and the guard force was not as good as before. Those who have received his favor, or who are within the threshold, must not disobey the military order, and may no longer gather outside the door. Moreover, Chen Wuwei was the governor of the Shanghai army, and his subordinates could not disobey his orders, because when he came to the place of house arrest, a few guards could not stop him and let him enter the room.

In the room, more than a dozen white-faced sisters-in-law saw that it was him and Li David, and they didn't dare to threaten each other with fake fried eggs, Weng Meiqian greeted him and said, "Governor, why are you so idle today, come here to be white-faced?" The weather is not early, are you looking for my family Xiecheng, let's play a few rounds of mahjong? ”

"It's just that the weather is not early, so I came to invite Miss Chen to dinner." Chen Wuwei gestured backwards, and Li David raised the food box in his hand. "In this place of Jiangning, it is very difficult to find Songjiang Benbang cuisine, and it is not authentic to make it. But fortunately, there are restaurants with foreigners, and there are still ways to eat big dishes. Miss Chen has studied in Albiang for many years, and she must be used to eating foreign food, so I will invite Miss Chen to eat big dishes and drink foreign wine today, and nothing else. ”

He issued an eviction order, and these women could only leave, and outside the door, Liu Fubiao took more than a dozen guards to stand guard outside. Although he and Chen Wuwei had a quarrel to the point of almost blowing up eggs, after all, they were the same brothers, and they had the closest relationship, and with him guarding here, Chen Wuwei would not have to worry.

In the room, David Li had already opened the food box, which contained Tiele dishes and a bottle of good wine. Chen Wuwei said: "Albiang's cuisine is said to be very unpalatable, and Tiele cuisine, if it is illegal, it is also nameless. There is only bread and beetroot soup, and it can't be served on the countertop. Here in Jiangning, there is a chef of Tsar Nicholas II, who escaped from St. Petersburg in Tiele and opened a small restaurant in Jiangning, where Miss Chen can taste the taste. ”

Chen Lenghe was unceremoniously, raised his knife and fork, and cut the dishes elegantly, but he didn't mean to ask about Chen Wuwei's intentions. Chen Wuwei was not angry, but took the initiative to speak: "Miss Chen is a guest here these days, aren't you worried about the operation of the bank?" ”

"I believe that my people, my partners, can run the bank even without my leadership. I don't think they can make the women's bank as good as possible. ”

"Miss Chen is worthy of being a heroine among women, she is in danger, she talks and laughs freely, and I really admire it in my heart. David, you have a good vision, such a woman, if it is not for the heart to belong, I will also pursue. ”

Chen Wuwei snorted and asked, "Miss Chen, do you know why the chef of the Tsar Tiele wants to come to Jiangning to open a restaurant without waiting for the palace?" I asked him about it, and he said that St. Petersburg had become a dangerous place, that the Tsar had arrested the Gren, and that the Gambit wanted to assassinate the Tsar. Mutiny assassinations are frequent, and protests and demonstrations are commonplace. Even if he is a heavy minister, he is not in danger, and if he is not careful, he may have to worry about his life. He opened a shop here, and although his livelihood was not as good as in Tiele, he could save his life. The two sides are weighed, and life is naturally the first. From his experience, it can be seen that all countries in the world, no matter how big or small, strong or weak, can no longer adhere to the monarchy, and the common people live together, which is the expectation of everyone. ”

Chen Lenghe nodded and said: "I also agree with this very much, the common union is the mainstream trend of the future development of the world, the monarchy is constitutional, the second class, and the emperor **** is the next one." However, if you want to realize people's housing, you must first have the rule of law, if you don't abide by the law and discipline, the word **** is a joke, and there is no way to talk about it. ”

Chen Wuwei laughed, "Miss Chen, I came today, it can also be seen as to make amends to you, my behavior that day was indeed too reckless." However, those who do great things cannot be confined to small sections, Ge Ming's army is short of food and salary, and if he can't quickly raise a military salary, there is no way to calm the army's morale. If the army's morale is unstable, it will inevitably inflict harm on the people, and when the soldiers are in turmoil for a lifetime, those who suffer are those ordinary people, peddlers and pawns. On the contrary, letting some rich people contribute some money will not ruin their families, but it can ensure that the soldiers will not harm the people of Li, which is already the least bad ending that Chen can think of. ”

"This is the least bad, provided that the donor is willing and not coerced by your lord with a bayonet and a pistol. The dignified Ge Mingjun is in charge of the government, and he actually committed the act of kidnapping tickets, I think, no matter what, it is not in harmony with the goal of co-living with the people. ”

Chen Wuwei did not deny it, "Mr. has sent a telegram to criticize my reckless behavior, and I sincerely apologize to Miss Chen, hoping to obtain your forgiveness." In addition, Miss Chen is in this square inch, isolated from the outside world, and I don't know some things, I came to tell you two news, one good and one bad, which one do you plan to listen to first. ”

Chen Lenghe snorted coldly: "Listen to you, the good news you said and the good news I said may not be the same thing. ”

"Well, I'll tell you a piece of good news first, and you can judge if it's the same thing. Zhao Guanshuai captured Tianbao City, and Dibao City also announced its surrender, and the entire Jiangning peripheral positions have all been lost. In addition, the notice of the Lu army's security has been posted in Jiangning City, which really makes me admire, they actually have such a powerful means to post the notice into the city. ”

Li David took out two notices, Chen Lenghe looked at them, and sure enough, it was a notice from Shandong to inform the people of Jiangning. After the army entered the city, it was guaranteed not to offend the people, not to humiliate the women, and not to rob the goods. Anyone who violates this decree will be killed. Below is the seal of the Yamen of the governor of Shandong, as well as the big seal of the commander of the fifth town.

The two sides are fighting, and the gate is strictly controlled, such a notice can be posted in Jiangning City, but the notice of the coalition army cannot be posted in the barracks, and the advantages and disadvantages are self-evident. A smile appeared on Chen Lenghe's face

"I see people very accurately, and my husband is a great hero, which is something I have identified from the beginning, and now it seems that it proves my judgment. This is really good news for me. ”

Li David seemed to have received another heavy punch, his face was very ugly, Chen Wuwei shook his head, and said, "Then I'm going to tell bad news." The bad news is that it says it's one, but it's actually two. First of all, it was the uprising of the new army in Shanxi, the recovery of Shanxi, and the murder of the governor of Shanxi, who was pseudo-Jin. The puppet Jin sent the twentieth and sixth towns of the new army to prepare to attack Shanxi. However, the new army did not move in Luanzhou, and revolted by telegram, and Wu Dingzhen, the commander of the sixth town, and Zhang Shaozeng, the twenty town, had already detained the arms sent to the Huguang front, and demanded that the government stop the civil war, open the parliament, determine the country, return the government to the people, and realize the republic. and formed the Yan-Jin coalition with Yan Yishan, the governor of the Geming Army in Shanxi, to prepare for the Northern Expedition. Shanxi and Shandong are neighboring provinces, and this time Zhao Guanhou came to attack Jiangsu, and the rear was empty. The coalition army only needs to send a group of men and horses to sweep Qilu, the backyard of the Lu army is on fire, the army is disheartened, and it is bound to become the end of the strong crossbow, which is not bad news for Miss Chen? ”

Chen Wuwei laughed, the look on his face was indescribably comfortable and calm, "When the Zunfu mentioned the tiger and wolf's army to the south, the hearts of the people in the city fluctuated, and there was pressure from foreigners to let us go. There are also many people who feel that there are strong troops outside and foreign powers, and there is no other way out but to release people. Relying on such people, how can it be possible to realize Mr. Sun's ideals and make China truly independent and strong. Whether it is the great powers or the artillery, they cannot change our minds, without this kind of courage and determination, what can we talk about? ”

"What about the loss of Tianbao Castle? Lu Jun is in Jiangsu, how many days can he stay in total? When the backup is cut off and there is no money and weapons, there is only a dead end. Now that the husband has become a tiger, I Jiangning has high walls and thick walls, and there is a wide range of grain and straw, and it is not worrying to support it for a year; If you retreat, it's not so easy to go back calmly. His family's savings are all in Shandong, how long do you think he can last? ”

Chen Lenghe put down the tableware in his hand, and Li David immediately took it away, obviously to prevent her from committing suicide or hurting people with the utensils. Chen Lenghe asked: "I really don't know what Chen Dudu said, but I don't think there's any point in telling me this." I'm a businessman, but I don't ask about the military. ”

"No, I just want you to understand the situation. The golden gas is exhausted, whether it is Yuan Weiting or Zhao Guanhou, they can't save this decline. The idea that one or two strong generals and a few town elites could save their fate has proven unrealistic. The Yan-Jin coalition army is a major town in the north of the Jin Kingdom, and there are no available soldiers or generals. The Praetorian Guard is a golden bow and jade arrow, and it can't be in battle, and the fall of pseudo-gold is a matter of two or three days. The Beiyang soldiers on the front line will either surrender or collapse, and it is inevitable that Zhao Guanhou will admit defeat this time, even if he has the means to reach the sky. Didn't Miss Chen think about thinking about a way out for herself? (To be continued.) )
