As soon as Zhang Shusheng and Liu Mingchuan received Li Hongzhang's order, they did not say a word and immediately complied. In order to prevent the Russian advisers from mischievous, Zhang Shusheng also left all the Russian advisers in Liu Ming's biao, who was the forward of the forced crossing, in the camp, and specially designated his brother Zhang Shushan, who was the pipe band, to lead the vanguard ship to play the front line in the forward.

This Zhang Shusheng joined the "Vote of Fame" to save the ** of loyalty, but it was more "glorious" than Zhou Shengbo who he wanted to save. In order to confront the heavenly army that entered northern Anhui, this scum of Anhui people, under the personal leadership of his father Zhang Yinggu, pulled his other eight younger brothers and held a group training in the area of Zhang Laowei under Zhougong Mountain in the west of Luzhou. After that, he fought desperately against the heavenly army. After a few battles, he didn't find much credit, but not only did his father Zhang Yinggu return to Huangquan, but he also took his six younger brothers. This made him quite coquettish among the people who applied for the examination of loyalty and righteousness to save the **, and was unanimously praised by many Manchu officials who knew the truth as a rare "loyal and brave" in the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that the Empress Cixi in the Forbidden City also had a cordial dinner with her advisor Pu Ti Yating, and heard Pu Ti Yating occasionally talk about Zhang Shusheng, saying that he was not only the old father and six brothers who were martyred for the Qing Dynasty in several decisive battles with the rebels, but also when the old and weak family was completely wiped out by the rebels, the benevolent and kind Empress Dowager actually pale for a moment and ate several mouthfuls of food.

It's a pity that Cixi didn't have Lin Haifeng in the south, otherwise she would definitely set Zhang Shusheng as a model and call on the people of the Qing Dynasty, at least the Qing officers and soldiers to learn from Zhang Shusheng and learn from the great patriotic spirit of his family. Of course, even then, Cixi categorically would not write an immortal article for Zhang Shusheng that could be comparable to "serving the people", at best, she would gather all the Hanlin people and make up a "service for the Qing Dynasty", which would be reluctant.

The first batch of ships under Liu Mingchuan's subordinates loaded with a battalion of loyal and righteous rescue **, in the face of the continuous artillery fire issued by the opposite bank, rushed to the opposite bank like crazy. Since the number of Red troops stationed on the opposite bank was indeed small, and the artillery fire was not very fierce, although from time to time ships were hit by artillery fire and capsized, the forced crossing seemed to be quite successful.

Li Hongzhang could see with his own eyes that his own rescue soldiers had set foot on the solid ground on the other side.

"Good brother! Attaboy! Zhang Shusheng saw the dexterous figure of his brother who was the first to rush to the other side in his clairvoyance, and couldn't help but stomp his feet and applaud loudly.

"Brother Shushan is worthy of being a child of the Zhang family, and he must be promoted." Li Hongzhang said, glancing at Colonel Maryanov, who was still sulking on the side, and grinned, but he couldn't laugh. Because he suddenly saw Zhang Shusheng on the other side of his body, he didn't know why his hands shook, clairvoyance rolled down his feet, his body stiffened, and his face immediately turned pale.

Li Hongzhang hurriedly raised his clairvoyance again to look at the other side, and at a glance, a burst of cool air suddenly appeared in his spine. Amid the smoke that slowly dissipated, apart from a few people with missing limbs and broken arms who were obviously wailing and wriggling, none of the officers and men who had bravely pounced on the riverbank just now could still stand up. In the river, the remaining dozen ferries also began to flee in a hurry.

"***, bastard red bandit, what the hell is this messing around?" Li Hongzhang was stunned, and his hand holding clairvoyance was shaking.

"Master Li, as I said, we can't cross the river to make any senseless sacrifices, what we need most is to preserve our strength. But you didn't listen, you violated the overall battle plan of the coalition headquarters, and you must take full responsibility for the final defeat of the 13th Association of the Zhou Concord, as well as the losses that continue here! Maryanov turned the telescope (this is not a mistake, professional soldiers call it telescopes, and the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty only know that it is called clairvoyance) in the direction of Lanfeng, and shouted angrily, "No wonder we lost so badly in the Battle of Suzhou and Anhui, all because of adults like you who ignore the reality of the battlefield and command indiscriminately." ”

"Fuck your stinking fart!" Li Hongzhang's eyes were crossed, and he cursed viciously in his stomach. In fact, he didn't dare to scold it, even if the Russians were bastards, he couldn't mess with them. Without the arrival of the Russians, how could he be in the glory he is today? His face became as pale as a dead man, and he had always been a theorist of a set of big theories when he opened and closed his mouth, and now he had nothing to say. He knew too well that once the forcible crossing here completely failed, Zhou Shengbo would not be able to escape his doom, and he didn't get the credit, but he was in a commotion. If the gentlemen at the coalition headquarters are angry again, I am afraid that all the aura on their heads will be in vain.

"Gu ...... Mr. Consultant...... "Li Hongzhang hurriedly shifted his eyes that were turned horizontally just now, and looked at Maryanov for a long time, and wanted to say something soft. However, after thinking about it, he really didn't want to throw his face in front of many subordinates, so he looked at Zhang Shusheng who was still in a daze. He wanted to see if Zhang Shusheng, a general, still had the confidence to continue fighting, to be honest, if it ended in such a hurry, he Li Hongzhang was really unwilling.

Zhang Shusheng's face now has changed from the miserable white just now to the color of pig liver, the green tendons on his forehead began to jump violently, his face was also distorted, his hands were clenched in front of his chest, and he was clenched with a gurgling sound. He was furious, he was angry, he wanted to pounce and bite those "evil red bandits" fiercely. However, he was also still confused.

He witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of his brother Zhang Shushan and the officers and soldiers around him being blown up in the sky, and he also saw his own brother turn into human flesh scraps flying in the sky. He couldn't understand how the cannons of the "red bandits" could be buried in the ground and fired. Because he would have sworn that the cannonball that blew up his brother did not come from above his head, but from the ground beneath his feet.

Li Hongzhang now wants to see his confidence, but that is a big mistake. Zhang Shusheng's own legs were stimulated to become involuntarily stiff, and he looked at Li Hongzhang with a blank face, obviously expecting some enlightenment from this "master".

"Big ...... Adult, ...... Don't go," Liu Mingchuan, who usually walked sideways and was not angry with anyone, stumbled over at this time, with a panicked face, and stammered when he spoke, "Front...... Front...... The brother who went up...... Brothers, only ...... As long as the feet are ...... As soon as the foot touched the ground, the horse ...... Immediate ...... Will lead ...... Cause an explosion. No...... Don't know about this...... This is the ...... of the 'red bandits' What's going on...... What hex? ”

Black art? Li Hongzhang was stunned. He knew the legend of sprinkling beans into soldiers, but the scene of cannons all over the ground was absolutely not in his memory.

"Also...... Also," Liu Mingchuan wiped the sweat on his head, "My lord, the hand cannon of the 'Red Bandit' is so powerful, it is like flying Huang, and if it is dropped, a large number of brothers will fall, and they will ...... They ......"

"What hand cannon?" Maryanov suddenly put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at Liu Mingchuan with disdain, "That's called a grenade, I always think about it, I look down on this, I can't look down on that, I don't know such a little simple military common sense, how can I lead the troops?" ”

Maryanov's rebuke of Liu Mingchuan was obviously aimed at Li Hongzhang. Of course he had heard of the grenade, and it was born two hundred years ago, but because everyone thought it was of little use, so few people used it, so that it was almost forgotten in the end. Unexpectedly, the current rebels like and are obsessed with this thing, and it seems to be really practical. However, when it comes to the cannons that will be fired buried in the ground, not only Li Hongzhang and others are inexplicable, but he is also at a loss, incredible. He knew that he would bury explosives to blow up the city wall, and digging a hole in the ground and stuffing it with hundreds of pounds of gunpowder was a very distressing and happy thing. But now he doesn't understand the way it looks.

Orientals are good at witchcraft, could it be that the rebels really know how to do this?

At this moment, the last "tragic" scene of Zhou Shengbo and others from the other side of the distance appeared, and everyone stopped making a sound.

Li Hongzhang himself could see it clearly, one by one, his rescue officers and soldiers threw themselves into the rolling and roaring Yellow River like dumplings, and they were soon swallowed up by the surging whirlpool, and they were swallowed cleanly.

Don't think about it anymore, and don't save it anymore. Li Hongzhang rubbed his eyes, only wept, crying for the tragic scene performed by his "loyal and brave" soldiers, and even more heartbroken for such a defeat in his first large-scale army.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times!

"Saving the best soldiers, worthy of the title of loyalty, the 13th Association fought bravely to save my Qing Dynasty crisis. Under the unfavorable situation, the battle to the end, no one begged to the 'red bandits', Zhou Xietong Sheng Bo and hundreds of his soldiers, and finally threw himself into the Yellow River, for my Qing Dynasty loyalty...... "With rolling tears, his heart began to outline the report to the imperial court, he wanted his Qing Dynasty to reward and compensate these loyal souls who had the courage to sacrifice their lives for the Qing Dynasty, and also to exonerate their own crimes.
