The people who can be sent to the Qinzhou shipyard are the elite of the Sichuan army, especially the artillery, and Long Jiguang has not noticed that there are two hot air balloons in the distant sky that are carefully observing the situation on the battlefield, and everything is in his eyes, with the guidance of the hot air balloon, after the Cantonese army began to shell, the Sichuan army quickly returned fire fiercely.

The Sichuan army arranged eighteen 155-mm howitzers in Qinzhou, and a large number of 75-mm field guns, which were much sharper than the Guangdong army, and the artillery of the Guangdong army soon became parts, and a large number of shells were killed, sending the entire artillery position of the Guangdong army into the sky.

At this time, the vanguard of the Cantonese army had rushed to the front of the Sichuan army's position, and these Cantonese troops were not trained at all in peacetime, and they stupidly formed a dense formation, without any cover between each other, and were soon swept away by the fierce fire of the Sichuan army, as if cutting wheat.

Seeing this, Long Jiguang seemed to have been taken out of his heart, it didn't matter if he was dead, but the cannon was the meat of his heart, and now he lost most of it just after the firefight, how could he not be heartbroken, and then saw the soldiers who fell in pieces, and now Long Jiguang hates one person in his heart, that is Liu Xianshi.

It was this bastard who fooled Long Jiguang, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of this, it's good now, the losses are heavy, Long Jiguang's face is getting more and more ugly, now it's not retreating, it's not advancing, a dignified governor has an eightfold advantage in troops, but he can't take a small Qinzhou shipyard, it's not good to say, and what worries Long Jiguang even more is Yuan Shikai's attitude, if Lao Yuan knows that he is such a waste, will he reuse himself, then won't it be over.

Thinking of this, Long Jiguang's eyes also seemed to be congested with blood, and became red, and he transferred one of his most confidant reading battalions, the soldiers of this battalion usually enjoy double salaries, the best treatment, and the equipment is also excellent, now it depends on whether they can tear apart the defense of the Sichuan army.

Long Jiguang ordered to provide enough opium to the soldiers of this battalion, these people smoked enough cigarettes, and they all became excited, screaming, Long Jiguang let the remaining artillery all gather together, and jointly launched an artillery bombardment on the positions of the Sichuan army to cover the reading battalion.

Under the paralysis of opium, the soldiers of the Reading Battalion forgot the pain and the bullets flying around them, and they rushed forward with all their might, and the barbed wire was blown up, and these soldiers quickly rushed in the direction of the Sichuan army, like wild beasts.

Pan Wenhua, who was observing from the rear, was also surprised, he didn't expect that there were such warriors in the Guangdong army, but you could still block the shells in bravery, and when these soldiers approached within 300 meters of the position, more than 40 mortars were all fired, and the shells in the sky were like hailstones, smashing on the heads of these charging soldiers.

There are also a few more crazy soldiers rushed to the front of the Sichuan army's position, the Sichuan soldiers formed a small team one by one, and began to fight with them bayonets, the Guangdong army just relied on a fierce strength, how could it be compared with the real elite, and soon wiped out all the remaining soldiers.

Although there were still a lot of soldiers under his command, there was no most elite troops, and the artillery was also lost, and the Cantonese army had no way to face the hedgehog-like Qinzhou shipyard and could only order a retreat.

Looking at the retreating Cantonese army, Pan Wenhua shook his head slightly, "Lao Luo, this battle is not happy, I thought that the Cantonese army had any special skills, and the two charges failed to achieve retreat, which is too vegetable!" ”

Luo Ying said with a smile: "The Guangdong army is not a strong army in the first place, besides, this time Yuan Shikai is perverse, who is willing to give him his life, even Beiyang can't do it, not to mention a small Guangdong army, this Long Jiguang is burned out of his brain!" ”

"Lao Luo, do you think this is a good opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions? Although the Cantonese army is retreating now, it's getting late, they shouldn't go too far, we might as well sneak attack the Cantonese army at night, but it all depends on the ability of your special combat team! ”

Luo Ying nodded, "Don't worry, regiment commander, I am absolutely sure that this group of Cantonese troops will stay." ”

The Cantonese army retreated all the way, Luo Ying sent reconnaissance soldiers to follow, the Cantonese army retreated all the way, crossed the Hongchao River, and retreated to Xichang, which is only separated by a river from Qinzhou, Long Jiguang also knew that the number of Zhongchuan troops in Qinzhou was not much, so he ordered the Cantonese army to camp here, he himself entered the town of Xichang, and chose the best house to live in, Long Jiguang gathered all the officers together to discuss the matter in front of him.

Some people suggested asking Yuan Shikai for help, some people said that they wanted to settle accounts with Liu Xianshi, and there were also advocates of continuing to attack the Qinzhou shipyard and get face back, Long Jiguang thought about it left and right, and felt that the top priority was to return to Guangzhou as soon as possible, he lost face in Qinzhou, and lost his lining, and there were also many forces against the imperial system in Guangzhou, especially Sun Wen and his gang were excluded from Qiao Yu's protection [***], these people did not give up, but ran to Guangzhou and other places to operate, if they learned that Long Jiguang was defeated in Qinzhou, I'm afraid that these people will be in trouble.

Therefore, Long Jiguang decided to rest for one night that night, and then immediately transferred to Guangzhou to sit in the town, the nest must not have a problem, the Guangdong army marched for several days, just arrived in Qinzhou and put into battle, now is the most tired time, they all fell asleep, two or three o'clock in the morning, it is the time to sleep the most soundly, Luo Ying personally took the special combat team to touch the outside of the west field.

The sentinels of the Cantonese army were useless in front of these reconnaissance masters, and soon entered the town of Xichang, and also touched the courtyard where Long Jiguang was, Luo Ying and the soldiers of the special combat team were wearing the clothes of the Cantonese army at this time, pretending to be guards who came to change the guard, and smoothly entered the courtyard, controlled all the Cantonese troops, and then broke into Long Jiguang's house, and arrested the governor of Guangdong who was still worried.

Luo Ying didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he caught such a big fish without firing a shot, and no one person lost, Luo Ying smiled at Long Jiguang: "Long Dudu, you are now officially a prisoner of our Sichuan army, you can rest assured that we will definitely treat the prisoners preferentially!" ”

Long Jiguang's blue tendons on his head were exposed at this time, and his eyes were red: "I, Long Someone, am a hero, and I have actually arrived at this step, but I tell you that there are all my people outside, and they will rush in as long as I give an order, and they will break you into pieces!" ”

"Hahaha, don't dream like this Longdudu!" As soon as Luo Ying stretched out his hand, he slammed a palm on the back of Long Jiguang's head, knocking him unconscious, and then concocted all the other guards in the same way, and put them in Long Jiguang's house after being knocked unconscious, and the special combat team quietly retreated from the west field.

Seeing that he was about to arrive outside the West Field, Long Jiguang suddenly woke up, although his mouth was blocked, but Long Jiguang still kicked his hands and feet, whining and shouting, Luo Ying was about to knock him unconscious again, and at this moment two sentries found them.

"Who, password?"

"The one who wants your life!" Luo Ying immediately shot, killed the two sentinels, and then quickly retreated with the special combat team, the gunfire pierced the silent night sky, and also woke up the sleeping Cantonese army, at this time Pan Wenhua and the Sichuan army had arrived outside the camp of the Cantonese army, and suddenly the guns rang out, beating these confused Cantonese troops dizzy, and what was worse was that the governor Long Jiguang disappeared, so that all the soldiers were like headless flies, they could only flee frantically, and the task of the Sichuan army became to capture prisoners.

After the chaos of the Cantonese army, some soldiers were still able to identify the direction and fled towards Guangzhou, and more people only knew that Sichuan was running around, some fled to the farmhouse, some ran into the farmland, some were trapped by the river and could only be captured, and after a busy night, the Sichuan army of 1,000 people defeated all the more than 7,000 Cantonese troops, captured 3,000 prisoners, and also captured Long Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong.

Not only did there be no problem with the Qinzhou shipyard, but also dealt a heavy blow to the forces of the two Guangxi to support Yuan Shikai, this beautiful victory spread quickly, the first to get the news was Lu Rongting, he also knew that Long Jiguang led the army to attack the Qinzhou shipyard, Lu Rongting had already had the idea of anti-Yuan, as soon as he heard that Long Jiguang was defeated and arrested, and now the dragons in Guangdong have no leader, Lu Rongting immediately made a decision and announced that Guangxi Reading Force.

The Gui army joined the camp of protecting the country and asking for Yuan, Lu Rongting mobilized a large army to attack Guangdong, and on the other hand, he also sent a commissioner to comfort the Sichuan defenders of Qinzhou Shipyard, the combat effectiveness of this Sichuan army was respected by Lu Rongting to the greatest extent, and Lu Rongting also wanted to show favor to Qiao Yu in this way, and only with Qiao Yu's approval could he really join the protection [***].

Lu Rongting's Gui army soon entered Guangdong, and then the local gentry in Guangdong also jointly telegraphed Yuan, because there was no one in charge of Guangzhou at this time, the Guangdong gentry elected the original governor of Guangdong, Hu Hanmin, as the new governor, and controlled Guangdong, and the Kuomintang picked up a big advantage at this time.

The news of the reading power of the two Guangxi instantly spread all over the country, people were shocked, but also began to look at President Yuan with suspicion, the two Guangxi were lost, the two lakes are now in danger, if the two lakes are also lost, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are not guaranteed, and the protection [***] can also go north directly from the Luhan Railway to ask Yuan, it can be said that half of the country has been completely lost.

And the onlookers also saw the weakness of the Beiyang group, although it owned most of the provinces in the country, but Beiyang did not rely on its superior strength to crush the other party, but because of the fragmentation and unfavorable mobilization, everywhere passive.

Now the most excited is Qiao Yu, the Sichuan army has won a big victory, this commander has a light on his face, originally he gave Pan Wenhua the task is to hold the shipyard, if it is really critical, he can even ask the British for help, who knows that he will defeat Long Jiguang completely, but soon there is better news coming.
