The news of the war in southern Sichuan soon spread to Guizhou, Tang Jiyao was attacking Xiuwen with the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army at this time, at this time Tang Jiyao had 7,000 Yunnan troops in his hands, 12,000 Guizhou troops, plus more than 20,000 people, occupying an absolute numerical advantage, but those Guizhou troops were at best cannon fodder, and there was no way to compare with the elite Yunnan army.

At this time, Wang Wenhua had fled to Liu Xianshi's army under the rescue of his subordinates, and Liu Xianshi saw that his nephew was almost killed, and his heart was immediately furious, so he had to urge the Qian army to launch a fierce attack on Xiuwen's outer positions.

Qiao Zhen and Wu Tong built a solid defensive position in Xiuwen, and there were two hot air balloons for observation in the army, which were also raised into the air at this time, with these two hot air balloons, the movements of the Qian army were all exposed to the observation of the Sichuan army, these two hot air balloons were imported from the United States, originally Qiao Yu was used to equip artillery troops, considering that the combat power of the Yunnan army was very high, he handed over the hot air balloon to the second brother Qiao Zhen, of course, Qiao Yu did not expect that Cai Ye would directly start a war with the Sichuan army.

However, with these two hot air balloons, the operation of the Sichuan army was much easier, Liu Xianshi organized three large-scale attacks, as soon as the troops were assembled, they were detected by the hot air balloons, and soon attracted the attack of the Sichuan artillery, which caused the Guizhou army to jump and countless casualties.

Few ordinary commanders of the Dian army know about the existence of hot air balloons, and two big round balls appear in the air, only as two eyes, so many people in the Guizhou army say that the Sichuan army knows how to demons, and can summon the eye of heaven to see their movements clearly, and this battle cannot be fought at all.

Of course, Liu Xianshi had a little insight, knew that it was a hot air balloon, and hurriedly explained to his subordinates, but even if everyone knew that it was a hot air balloon, it was useless, and the Qian army had no way to shoot it down, so they could only watch the artillery of the Sichuan army blow them apart and be embarrassed.

Tang Jiyao was also paying attention to the situation on the front line, and he shook his head when he saw this, it seemed that he couldn't attack Xiuwen during the day, and he could only avoid the observation of the hot air balloon by fighting at night.

Liu Xianshi was extraordinarily aggrieved, sacrificed hundreds of soldiers in vain, and did not even rush up to the position of the Sichuan army, and Zhang Bailin was very excited at this time, he already hated Liu Xianshi, he treated him well, handed over important posts to the constitutionalists, and even handed over the military power, who knew that these bastards were not grateful to Dade, but bit him, Zhang Bailin would have died in the hands of Liu Xianshi if he hadn't hidden in the toilet.

Therefore, Zhang Bailin is now eager to crush Liu Xianshi's bones and ashes, and now he can only rely on the strength of the Sichuan army to take revenge, and now when he sees Liu Xianshi's gray face, he is even more excited.

"Commander-in-Chief Qiao, I don't think the other party is anything remarkable, three consecutive attacks haven't even touched our position, I suggest that we take advantage of the victory to pursue, eliminate Liu Xianshi in one fell swoop, and capture Tang Jiyao alive!"

"Mr. Zhang, this is just a temptation of the other party, they have an advantage in strength, and the Dian army is also the elite of the elite, and a rash attack can only lead to failure!" Qiao Zhen rejected this proposal, in fact, Qiao Zhen knew very well that the main battle situation at this time was no longer in Guizhou, the key was in southern Sichuan, as long as Qiao Yu could defeat Cai Yi, even if it was just a draw, the problem of Guizhou would be solved, but Qiao Zhen thought of the pre-war plan, if Qiao Yu wins, it will inevitably attract Yuan Shikai's suppression, this is really a difficult game of chess, and I don't know if the third child can win!

At this time, in southern Sichuan, the Dian army began to attack again after a night's rest, and it was still the main attack on the Emperor Temple, after yesterday's test, the soldiers of the Sichuan army quickly matured, and they have initially adapted to this fierce battle, plus last night Qiao Yu had personally rushed to the front line in southern Sichuan, and the governor personally comforted the wounded soldiers, and the morale of the army improved a lot, and the battle was more tenacious.

The two sides fought until noon, and many Sichuan artillerymen had thrown off their bare arms, and their bodies were covered with sweat and gunsmoke, and some even had swollen arms because of carrying artillery shells.

"Dudu, I think today's battle situation is a bit strange, although the offensive of the Dian army is more fierce than yesterday, but it seems that the cohesion and cooperation of the troops are not as good as yesterday, and the tactics are very single, and the threat of attack is not even as good as yesterday, is it that the materials of the Dian army can't keep up?" In the afternoon, Shi Yi reported the battle situation to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu's brows also furrowed, "Wang Huai, what do you think?" ”

"Dudu, what Lao Shi said is right, the Dian army is far from having the feeling of flowing water like yesterday, but although yesterday's losses were not small, it was not as poor as the donkey skills, Cai Ye is famous, it is impossible to be so capable!"

Qiao Yu also seemed to feel a little inappropriate, and hurriedly asked people to take the battle map, and the three of them carefully observed the terrain in southern Sichuan around the map, and suddenly Shi Yi slapped his head.

"Governor, something is wrong, Cai Yi's target may be here!"

Syria is close to the Yangtze River, is an important town in southern Sichuan, Qiao Yu in the process of unifying Sichuan, here and the people's army had a battle, and then and the Dian army at war, Syria can be said to be full of war, but with the end of the war Syria soon prospered, the original loss of a lot of money Zhuang ticket number also because of the cooperation with the Sichuan investment company, got rid of the financial dilemma, and can provide more adequate funds for the industrial and commercial development of Syria.

Now there have been more than a dozen factories of all kinds in Syria, prosperity is far greater than in the past, and with the outbreak of the battle of Sichuan and Yunnan, Syria has become the logistics base of the Sichuan army, weapons and equipment, food and vegetables, medicine and bedding must be transported from here to the front line, and the seriously wounded transported from the front line must also be sent here for treatment, Syria seems to be very busy, responsible for guarding Syria is Su Ding, he takes a battalion of regular army guards here.

In the afternoon of this day, more than a dozen cavalrymen came from afar, led by a middle-aged officer, with a dusty face, and ran into the sentry post of the Sichuan army far away from the city gate, and the soldiers guarding shouted loudly: "Password!" ”

"Protect the family! Requirement? ”

"Defend the country!"

After answering the command, the Sichuan army sentry removed the barricade, and the leading officer sat on the tall horse and smiled at everyone: "Brothers, you are so comfortable, unlike us who have to work hard!" After saying that, the officer led his soldiers and went straight to the gate of the city of Xufu.

Looking at the leaders of these soldiers and sentinels who were going away, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to find something unusual: "A few brothers are guarding here, I'll go to Syria!" ”

The young officer ran desperately towards the city on his two long legs, as if three points faster than the cavalry of the past, and soon reached the city.

"Sir, there is an important military situation to report!"

Su Ding was originally responsible for guarding the security of the Syrian Mansion, but the battlefield was still nearly two hundred miles away from here, so he relaxed a little, and suddenly his subordinates wanted to report important military information, which surprised Su Ding, but out of prudence, Su Ding still met with this little officer.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Sir, just half an hour ago, more than a dozen cavalry entered the city through our checkpoint, and I found that these dozen or so people rode horses all on Dian horses, and their riding skills were very exquisite, as if they were on horseback all year round, and their accents were a little strange, so I felt suspicious and came to report to the sir!"

When Su Ding heard this, he was immediately taken aback, although the Sichuan army and Yunnan are not far away, but the cavalry of the Sichuan army is equipped with Oriental horses, even if there are a small number of Yunnan horses mixed into it, there will not be more than a dozen horses together, and most of the cavalry of the Sichuan army are newly established, there are not many clever riders, and the dozen or so people who suddenly appeared are afraid that the Yunnan army is made of makeup!

Thinking of this, Su Ding's face was in a cold sweat, he was really careless, and the vigilance of the Syrian Mansion must be strengthened.

"What's your name, you're doing very well, I'll definitely give you credit in front of the governor in the future!"

"Humble King Zan Xu, thank you for the cultivation!"
