As soon as the news that Vasilyev's cavalry corps was completely annihilated by the Celestial Empire Red Army at Yanshan, and Dongguang had been suddenly taken by the Celestial Empire Red Army in the west, Texas was shaken. Pryushenko, who had a premonition that the future was not good, continued to look forward to the miracle that his tsarist "eagles" would be able to create a miracle in Wuding and Dongchang, and on the other hand, he quickly mobilized the little mobile force he had to strengthen and consolidate the two strongholds behind Wuqiao and Jingzhou. The purpose of this is to prevent the Red Army of the Celestial Empire from behind him is only one aspect, and more importantly, Pryushenko still has a secret in his heart that only he knows, that is, he asked the soldiers and horses to rush to Jingzhou, and while unconditionally holding Jingzhou, they must rush to build a pontoon bridge on the Zhanghe River and firmly control it in their hands. Obviously, he was preparing for the withdrawal of Texas soldiers and horses at any time.

But what happened next turned out to be even more unexpected for Pryushenko.

Although the city of Dongchang was in danger, but it was bordered by Cheongju and Xiajin in the west and Ningjin and Leling in the east, and Pryushenko believed that at least the defense line of the Maji River that he designed was still strong, and although these projects were still half-pulled projects, it should not be a problem to slow down the pace of the sharp Taiping Red Army.

Pryushenko never expected that under the unified mobilization of Li Shixian, Zeng Tianhe's Red 27th Army did not stop for a moment after annihilating the Tsarist Russian army that came to the aid of Gaotang West, and with the help of the huge momentum of the Red Fifth Army in the middle of the road to storm the plain, he made persistent efforts and connected the two cities of Qingping and Gaotang within three days. When the Tsarist Russian troops on the north bank of the Maji River were focused on Enxian, which was about to face the heavy attack of the Red Fifth Army, the Red 27th Army, with the cooperation of Lin Qirong and the Red Ninth Army on the left flank, unexpectedly broke through the Maji River from Qingping and conquered Xiajin, and unexpectedly appeared behind Enxian.

The so-called defense line of the Maji River, which Pryushenko painstakingly and carefully set up, was attacked on the back of the enemy and turned into an illusory dream landscape. The Russian soldiers in the hastily capped fortifications on the shore fled one after another to Enxian and Dezhou cities.

As soon as Cao Weiren's Red Fifth Army crossed the Mache River, Enxian became a papier-mâché fortress. According to Li Shixian's order, Cao Weiren only assigned the front army to his own army, the heavy artillery battalion that had shown great might in the siege of Yucheng and the plains, and part of the troops to assist the Red 27th Army to recover Enxian County, but the main force of the army went straight to Dezhou. When the Pryushen subjects in Texas were stunned and were preparing to meet the battle, Cao Weiren divided his troops again, and he led a group of men and horses to bluff under the city of Dezhou to attract Pryushenko's attention, while Wu Dingcai led a reinforced main division to the west around Texas, quietly approaching Jingzhou, and appeared behind the Jingzhou Tsarist Russian army who was trying to block Liu Mingyuan's teaching brigade from Dongguang to the south. It was another cold and unprepared, and the Tsarist Russian army in Jingzhou suddenly fell into a panic, and they only had the ability to parry, and they had no power to fight back.

Just when Cao Weiren and Zeng Tianhe had already stirred up Pryushenko's dizziness, the 28th Army of Li Zenglinghong, the Eastern Front Group personally commanded by Chen Yucheng, won the battle from Jiyang, and then conquered Linyi and Shanghe. When Chen Tingxiang's Red Eighth Army took Qingyun and Leling, and continued to turn south, and finally solved Nobavsky with Wei Zheng's Red Tenth Army besieging Wudingfucheng, the Red 28th Army had broken through the Mache River from Deping, and after capturing Ningjin, the Red 28th Army immediately advanced westward and surrounded Wuqiao like lightning.

By the time Pryushenko fully understood, Enxian County, and even Jingzhou and Wuqiao had already changed hands, and Texas had become a dead city, and now it was his turn to experience the bitter taste of Major General Chikovska and Colonel Nobavsky at the beginning.

The walls of Texas were overwhelmed by the dense artillery fire of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, and the mutilated limbs of the Russian soldiers flew everywhere. The artillery group of Tsarist Russia could not see the figure of the Red Army artillery group of the Celestial Empire at all, and it was beaten to the ground in the rain of heavy artillery shells that fell like hailstones.

The gates were blown open, and the solid walls were pierced by the heavy bombardment of the artillery. Accompanied by the suppressive fire of grenadiers and grenades, the sturdy Red Army soldiers jumped into the moat, and with a pair of resolute arms, they erected long ladders across the moat, and in the midst of a burst of shouts of "advance for the Celestial Empire", the Red Army iron flow behind them was like water to the other side......

Zeng Guofan, accompanied by Li Shixian, Hou Yutian and others, entered Dezhou.

The thick smoke of gunpowder shrouded over the city of Texas, and most of it was gradually dissipating, but in the northeast of the city, the dense sound of gunfire continued.

In the temporary military headquarters where the Red Fifth Army was bustling with people, Cao Weiren, who was talking to a few people wearing Manchu official uniforms, hurriedly greeted Li Shixian, Zeng Guofan and others who came in, "Mr. Li, Senator Zeng, you are coming so fast." ”

"No matter how fast we are, we can't catch up with you guys, haven't we?" Li Shixian returned a military salute to Cao Weiren, turned his head and smiled at Zeng Guofan.

"Yes, yes, the camp has just moved from Yucheng to the plains, and this Texas has gone down again, fast, it's just too fast. I was in a hurry to ask the chief of staff to come to Texas, originally I wanted to take a good look at the momentum of the Red Army of our Celestial Dynasty in the battle against Texas, and I was ready to write well in the future, but I didn't expect that I was still a step too late. Zeng Guofan praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Huh...... This is mainly due to the proper deployment and arrangement of the camps, the proper command of the front army, the effective coordination and cooperation between the friendly forces, and the loyalty and courage of the officers and men. Cao Weiren raised his fist above his head and reported with a smile, "At present, the organized resistance in Texas City has basically been eliminated, and order is being restored." The remaining remnants and diehards have retreated into the Tsarist Russian army headquarters in the northeast of the city, teaching brigades and other departments to do the final cleanup on them. If you want to see the excitement, you might as well go there and take a look. ”

"Haha, you can take a look, you can take a look. How about it, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li, you guys are busy with you, I'll go over and take a look......" Zeng Guofan smiled and bowed his hand to Li Shixian and Hou Yutian, and at this time, he suddenly saw a familiar face among the few people in Manchu official uniforms behind Cao Weiren. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. In order to better maneuver in the Manchu officialdom, Zeng Guofan had a lot of friends with the high-ranking and powerful Weng Xincun, so naturally he was very familiar with Weng Xincun's two sons, Weng Tongshu and Weng Tongjue, who were officials, but what he didn't expect was that he met this old friend Weng Tongshu here today.

"Zu Geng (the character of Weng Tongshu), you ...... Why are you here? Zeng Guofan looked at Weng Tongshu, whose face was slightly red, and couldn't help but look at Cao Weiren.

"Hehe, it turns out that Lord Weng is still our old friend." Cao Weiren turned around and looked at the same book, pointed to the people behind him who were also dressed in the same clothes, and smiled, "The order in Texas can be restored very quickly, which has a lot to do with the cooperation of Weng Zhaocha and Deng Erheng people." As soon as our army entered the city, although they were sick, Lord Weng and Lord Deng immediately ordered their subordinates to assist our army in maintaining order and taking over the treasury. Especially this Lord Deng, his ankle was once seriously injured, but he still ran with crutches. ”

"Okay, good, the ancients, those who know the times are handsome. Zu Geng and Lord Deng are able to learn their way back and are willing to contribute to the Celestial Empire, which is really gratifying. Zeng Guofan picked up Weng Tongshu and smiled comfortably.

"I ...... I'm just making up for my past mistakes......" Weng Tongshu was a little embarrassed.

"The past is the past, and as long as you understand it now, it's never too late." Li Shixian smiled hehehe, "People, if you are not afraid of being confused for a while, you are afraid of being confused for a lifetime." ”

Pryushenko can be regarded as a fool.

The front headquarters of the Tsarist Russian Dispatch Army in Texas is a renovated building on the basis of an old official office, which is not only Pryushenko's official office, but also a large barracks, or a city within a city. In normal times, in addition to the large and small officials of the headquarters and the guards who carried them, there was also a whole battalion of escorts.

At the beginning, just to show off the might of this place, the twelve tall sentry towers built along the surrounding tall red walls, and now the remnants of the defeated generals of different formations, including four or five regiments, seem to have become Pryushenko's last support.

When Zeng Guofan came here, Liu Mingyuan had already persuaded Pryushenko to surrender several times, but all he received was an answer from a burst of indiscriminate guns from the sentry tower.

"Brigade Commander Liu, these sentry towers are really hateful." On the way here, Zeng Guofan, who was almost hit by a stray bullet blindly fired from the sentry tower, pointed to the tall sentry tower like a cylinder, and scolded hatefully, "If we don't get rid of them, even if our brothers can attack them, the losses will be too great." ”

"Don't worry, I've been senatory, and I'll have a good show to watch in a while." Liu Mingyuan smiled and pouted towards the sentry tower that kept firing guns, "I'm wondering, you say, should we catch a bunch of prisoners of war when the time comes, or will it be cleaner to kill him without a dime?" ”

"Kill!" Zeng Guofan blurted out without thinking, "These things that you don't know are to keep a single one." ”

"Report to the brigade commander, all the departments are ready."

Hearing the news brought by the herald, Liu Mingyuan slapped his thigh and gave Zeng Guofan a thumbs up, "Senator Zeng, let's do what you say." After speaking, he turned his head and shouted, "Artillery battalion, let's eat!" ”

As he spoke, mortar shells slammed into the two watchtowers in front of him with a sharp whistling, and with a loud bang, the roof of the watchtower was lifted off, and the rubble and earth tiles filled the air. Then came the third and fourth...... Under the constant movement of several mortars in the artillery battalion, twelve watchtowers were reduced to twelve ruins. At the same time, the artillery battalions of the Red Fifth Army and the Red 28th Army, which had been borrowed by Liu Mingyuan, together with nearly 100 grenadiers from the artillery battalion of the Teaching Brigade, began to roar together from all sides, pouring hateful shells into the red wall like a torrential rain.

The angry artillery fire finally stopped, and the exhilarating sound of military trumpets suddenly rose. The three regiments of the teaching brigade, together with the special services battalion, rushed through the gaps in the red wall that opened everywhere and broke into Pryushenko's lair.

"Happy!" Originally, he planned to use the real experience on the battlefield to record the scene of the historic battle of the Red Army's recovery of Dezhou, and provide it to the people of the whole Heavenly Dynasty to appreciate.

Following Liu Mingyuan, following the torrent of the charge, he stepped into the courtyard wall of the headquarters of the Russian army in Nuoda, and as far as the eye could see, there were ruins shrouded in pieces of gunsmoke. The valiant Red Officers and Men of the Celestial Empire responded with grenades, bullets, and shining bayonets and sabers to the enemy they encountered in front of them. Whether you put up pointless resistance or simply kneel and beg for mercy, after they swept through like a storm, what was left behind were the mutilated corpses of the Tsarist army, and there would never be a single one who could breathe...... Sometimes I always secretly ask myself, if there was no Red Army of the Celestial Empire, if the Hunan Army that I was in charge of at that time still existed, what would it be like if I met today? ”
