The sound of gunshots and explosions soon spread throughout the city of Weihui.
Before the crowded performance venue was about to be suddenly attacked, Duhan happened to be in a hurry. He hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, found a few dark corners nearby, and was unbuttoning his trouser belt to feel comfortable, when suddenly, a rumbling burst of thunder seemed to sound in his ears, and his whole body shook violently while holding the waist of his trousers with both hands.
"The Taiping army has entered the city......"
With another burst of hoarse and indiscriminate shouts, Du Han's head buzzed into Liu Douda. He knows how powerful the Taiping Red Army gang of outlaws are, even if you only take half a step late, it means that you yourself are rushing to hug Lord Yama. After Du Han shook it, the first flash of thought was to run away. How do you know that when you lift up the placket of your robe and just take a big step "one step", it will be a dog eating. He was so anxious that he forgot about the pants that had loosened the belt of his trousers in his official robe, and he had already slipped on the top of his feet when he was shaking.
Sometimes, a strong will can make a person forget for a while. If it rests on Pingsu, this one will go down, and Du Han will not want to get up from the kang again in ten days and half a month, but now it is not. Du Han forgot about the pain at this time, and jumped up like a rabbit on the ground with his extremely agile hula, lifted his pants with both hands, and ran as fast as he could, and even why the pants became so cold all of a sudden, and the official boots seemed to be watery, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Behind him, the shouts and crackling footsteps of the loyal and righteous soldiers in the street were getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, Du Han was wrapped in the rout. It's not going to work, it's too dangerous to mix with these things. Du Han's clever head immediately turned, and suddenly a sharp lunge from the oblique spurt rushed out of the rout, and rushed headlong towards a nearby courtyard.
Poor Du Han just forgot about the fact that he had lost his trouser belt for a long time, and what he didn't expect was that he was not the only one in this world who could be considered smart. Du Han, who was stuck at the door of the courtyard of the house, pushed open the two closed doors with all his hands and all his strength, followed by a wheel, and carried it into the courtyard one by one. Unfortunately this time, before he could make another rabbit jump, he didn't know how many big feet had been stepped on on his back, which was not very hard.
"I'm ......," Du Hanqiang struggled and "shouted" these two words like a mosquito. The defeated soldiers who only care about fleeing for their lives, their mothers and sons don't recognize them, how can anyone care who you are. With those beautiful dreams in his heart, Du Han returned to the West......
Zhang Shusheng may have been annoyed by the betrayal of Wu Changqing and Tang Dingkui, and instead of returning directly to the headquarters, he chose an extremely unwise approach. He instructed his subordinates to quickly order the other gates to strengthen their defenses, and then transferred a battalion of men and horses nearby, and personally led them straight to the direction of the east gate to reinforce and block the influx of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. Probably he had another thought in his heart, that is, to personally liquidate the sins of Wu Changqing and Tang Diankui.
Before seeing the east gate, Zhang Shusheng's men and horses were first rammed by the rout, and their positions were unstable, and then they encountered the fierce assault force of the Red 31st Army led by Hong Chunyuan, which was chasing with murderous spirit. Hong Chunyuan's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw that on the big banner held high in the opposite team, there was a big "Zhang" character, and Hong Chunyuan couldn't help but feel happy.
"It's Zhang Shusheng in front, kill!"
It's too late, it's fast, with his loud roar, the Red Army officers and soldiers in front of him can't be distinguished, hula split their heads and faces and first threw a burst of grenades to the opponents, and then, the soldiers picked up the Russian-made muskets with bayonets on the same as the loyal and righteous salvation **, and threw themselves into the group of loyal and righteous salvation ** like a whirlwind.
In a flash, under the invincible and tough momentum of the Red Army soldiers of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Shusheng's men and horses were beaten to pieces, the resistance became a bubble, and he himself became the prey of the other party's desperate pursuit.
Under the huge momentum of Zhang Zongyu's first breakthrough through the east gate, Bai Huihuai's Red 22nd Army and Tan Tiyuan's Red 25th Army broke through Wei Hui's city defense on all fronts. In Weihui City, the Red Army units of the Celestial Empire were galloping across the city, and Zhang Shusheng had no possibility of returning to his headquarters.
Zhang Shusheng, who was still fighting in the trap, led a group of remnants of the defeated army and had nowhere to go, and finally hid in a large mansion with a single family.
This deep mansion compound happens to be the nest of Wei Hui's first Huang Nairen. Inside, hundreds of headless flies had already gathered in a chaotic manner. As soon as he saw Zhang Shusheng running in sweating, Huang Nairen, who was numb in his claws, seemed to have seen a big savior.
"Lord Zhang, you're here, alas...... How can this city be broken, and it will be broken all at once? It's good that you're here, just now I was worried about whether I could keep my big fortune......"
"Lao Huang, you are really good, it's upside down outside, you don't go to fight with the red bandits, but you make a fuss about your family here." Zhang Shusheng glared at Huang Nairen with a vicious voice, "No one can keep your family wealth, it is up to you to protect it." Tell these bastards of yours to hurry up and guard the hospital with my men. ”
"Why, they're here too?" Huang Nairen looked at Zhang Shusheng in disbelief. It turned out that he mistakenly thought that Zhang Shusheng was thinking of his private friendship with him, and he deliberately came to protect himself at a critical moment.
After a loud "......boom", the two courtyard gates that were stubbornly held by several loyal and righteous rescue soldiers with top door bars were accompanied by a few wails in the smoke, and they suddenly turned into broken wood. Huang Nairen, who understood it, was so frightened that he just covered his ears, but he saw black guys floating in along the courtyard wall, Huang Nairen was no stranger to the "hand cannon" used by the Taiping Red Army. There was another terrible roar and smoke rushing into the sky.
"Kill ......" through the broken gate of guò, climb over the tall courtyard wall, and the Red Army soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty entered the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
Huang Nairen, who was soft, saw what it meant to be fearless at this time.
He saw that Zhang Shusheng at this time did not flinch in the slightest, let alone avoid half a step, but let alone a strange scream, and the big knife in his hand pounced on the opponent who rushed in. Then, he also saw at least four or five sharp bayonets, which stabbed into Zhang Shusheng's body almost one after the other. In Zhang Shusheng's shaking and screaming in pain, streams of blood splattered. This Huang Nairen, who was secretly called "Yellow Dead" by the people of Weihui and known as a murderer on weekdays, was scared to death by "oh" when he saw the bayonets flashing with cold light rushing towards him again......
Wu Ruxiao was unable to participate in the painful battle of Shangweihui, at this time, he was still sitting at the headquarters of the front army, accepting Shi Xiangzhen's consolation. After the First Battle of Wei Hui, the large forces of the Manchu Qing in northern Henan will no longer exist, and the army will continue the expedition, and it will go farther and farther. As for himself, he crossed the Yellow River and turned around in the north, and he was going back to the south, and the only battles he could have in the future were with those roosters and dogs, which made him feel uncomfortable in his early twenties, a young general full of vitality.
"Ruxiao, I won't say anything more, I've been by Director Lin's side for so long, you know more than me about the truths you should understand."
In Shi Xiangzhen's house, the guards were busy packing up their things inside and out, except for the simple bedding on the kang, most of the other things had been packed up, and it was obvious that this would be the last night he stayed.
"I understand, but I'm ......" Wu Ruxiao looked at the empty room, and there was also a feeling of emptiness in his heart.
"Okay, that's good." Shi Xiangzhen nodded and smiled, "Henan is a good place, but it is too bitter to be squeezed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, coupled with the continuous disasters for many years, if you want to restore it to the granary of the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is not something that anyone can do." There is another reason why you were chosen, that is, before the Jintian regimental camp, your brother had business experience, which is somewhat helpful for cooperating with the local government to do a good job in the future construction of Henan. In addition, the appointment of the governor of Henan this time, Tianjing also took great pains, and finally appointed Lai Wenguang. Don't look at his young age, you also know that he has seen big scenes in several major departments in Tianjing, and he has a lot of experience. There is also a Hao Lisu transferred from Jiangsu, although he is a demoted official, he has done a good job in Jiangsu and has accumulated a certain amount of experience in the new law. If you have pinched it together, I believe that Henan's affairs will definitely be able to do a good job. ”
Seeing that Wu Ruxiao was still frowning, Shi Xiangzhen smiled again, "Right now, although the military operations in the northwest, northeast, Mongolia, and Tibet will continue for a while, there are no major battles to be fought, and the Celestial Empire is about to enter a period of stable peace construction." In just a few years, it is necessary to set up the agriculture and mulberry industry and commerce of the Celestial Empire. Only in this way can we repay the favor and comfort those brothers who are smiling for the great cause of the Celestial Empire, as well as the people who have always supported and helped us without regrets. Of course, only in this way can we have a stronger military force. I'll give you a piece of news today......"
As he spoke, Shi Xiangzhen deliberately paused, and saw that Wu Ruxiao was staring at himself intently with expectant eyes, he leaned over Wu Ruxiao, and at the same time lowered his voice and said, "Director Lin said that in less than ten years, we will encounter an unprecedented war, and the cruelty and grandeur of the war are unimaginable. Hehe, that's a great time for us to show off what we can do. Don't get used to a peaceful and good life with a family and a job, and when that time comes, you can cry and shout that you don't want to go to the front. ”
"Hey...... Hehe...... Haha......" Wu Ruxiao finally stretched his brows, and his face regained its brilliance, "Commander-in-chief, you are so underestimating us?" ”
