Chapter Seventy-Two: Night Attack

Yao Liquan finished explaining the matter and left Luzhou, but the leaders of the people's army in Luzhou had different thoughts, in fact, these people's armies were barely entangled together, formed by the combination of the Baolu comrade army in each county, although the alliance would be in a dominant position, but it could not achieve the unity of military orders, and it was the same on the issue of anti-Qing, but when facing Qiao Yu, they had different thoughts, and the leaders of the people's army in many states and counties did not care about who was in power, anyway, as long as they had a lot of their share, And Qiao Yu's statement has put them at ease, they can join the new political axe, and they can also become parliamentarians, even if the alliance is in power, it is just that, so why go against Qiao Yu.

In addition to these leaders of the people's army, the Constitutional Party in Luzhou, the powerful people in various places also moved because of Qiao Yu's arrival, many of these people are engaged in business, Qiao Yu's abolition of Li Jin is a great blessing for them, although in comparison they have to give up a lot of land rent income, but the gains outweigh the losses, and the most important thing is that the alliance will bring them a serious sense of crisis.

The League has now gathered tens of thousands of people's troops, these people's troops have to eat, drink and Lazar, and burn silver every day, and the League itself has no family foundation, relying on nothing more than increasing taxes, and then there are big eaters, and a lot of silver is placed in the ticket number of the bank, and now after being taken over by the people's army, they will directly enter the money bank and take the money, regardless of whether it is due or not.

If the shopkeeper of the money bank's ticket number is opposed, he will be labeled as colluding with the Qing court, and then his family property will be confiscated, and even those who will be shot on the spot, this situation is very common, and the big businessmen will not be safe from the people's army, so they will naturally abandon them, and these people will set their eyes on Qiao Yu.

Luzhou City is in turmoil, so naturally they can't hide it from Wang Tianjie and Wu Yuzhang, and now the two of them are looking at each other head-on, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of them.

Wang Tianjie smashed the table with his fist, and said hatefully: "What a difficult Qiao Shunqing, before the official start of the fight, we lost first, and now many people in the city advocate peace and join the military and political axe, what a bunch of bastards!" ”

"Those people are insignificant, as long as our own henchmen do not waver, but this time Qiao Yu brought two divisions over, the strength is more than double ours, and the equipment is very well-equipped, even if it is hard fighting, it may not be his opponent!"

Wu Yuzhang also sighed, and his heart was much lower.

"Lao Wu, do you think this is okay, let's sneak attack Qiao Yu's army at night, they are all new soldiers, although they have a lot of training, but there is still a lot of gap in the experience of fighting compared to us, it just so happens that I will personally lead the troops to defeat them tonight, and those wall grasses will naturally not be shaken at that time!"

Wu Yuzhang thought carefully about Wang Tianjie's suggestion and felt that it was very feasible, and the current difficulties of the people's army have appeared, that is, the lack of arms and weapons, it was better to have Qiao Yu's support, but now with the reading power of Yucheng, this route has also been cut off, and the current weapons of the people's army are a little less consumed, and they can't support it at all, so it is undoubtedly the best choice to break the deadlock quickly.

After the two discussed properly, they gathered all the most elite troops, more than half of these people were members of the Hui Party, and there were many bandits, and the battle was the most brave, but the gangsterism in the rivers and lakes was also very serious, and a team of more than 3,000 people was gathered together, led by Wang Tianjie himself, waiting for night to fall, attacking Qiao Yu's military camp, and Wu Yuzhang was responsible for guarding Luzhou.

The distribution was proper, the night fell, the military camp outside Luzhou City did not seem to feel any crisis, but laughter, it turned out that there were some neighboring rich businessmen who took the initiative to come to the labor army, and the Constitutional Party in Luzhou City also sent representatives to contact Qiao Yu, wanting to support Qiao Yu into the city and drive the people's army out of Luzhou.

Qiao Yu is also a good door, promising that they can join the Sichuan Parliament, allow local autonomy, and promise to support the development of industry and commerce, these people got Qiao Yu's promise, and they were extremely happy, obviously Qiao Yu's dock is much more reliable than the alliance, and these people have expressed their willingness to be loyal to Qiao Yu.

It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that these people were sent away, and at the same time, they were asked to urge the people's army in the city to accept the peace agreement and give up the confrontation as soon as possible!

"Young master, the civilian army in the city seems to have some moves, and they are not very willing to compromise like this!" Wang Tianhe called Qiao Yu a young master on informal occasions to show that he never forgot that he was from the Qiao family, and Qiao Yu couldn't resist him, so he didn't care about the surname Suo.

"Tianhe, how can people be willing to give up their power if they fight to the death, but they can't turn the sky, but they must be vigilant and be careful!"

Just when the two of them were still chatting, suddenly a few crisp gunshots pierced the night sky, and then there was a dense burst of gunfire, Qiao Yu frowned suddenly, it seems that the people's army actually took the lead in doing it to themselves, so that they don't have to worry about anything, just to show their power.

Originally, Qiao Yu chose to negotiate with the People's Army, which was to suppress the other party in the name of righteousness, if he didn't put on this posture, it would be easy for others to sympathize with the People's Army who had made great contributions to the revolution, and now that the People's Army was the first to act, then they would wait to withstand their own series of offensives!

"Tianhe accompanies me to take a look outside, I want to see if the people's army can break through our camp!"

Wang Tianhe hurriedly summoned the guards to follow Qiao Yu closely and came to the outside of the camp, at this time the most fierce exchange of fire was the direction of the first brigade of the first division, the commander of the first brigade was Wang Huai, who was very alert, Qiao Yu was still more at ease with him.

Wang Huai's first brigade is Qiao Yu's descendant troops, the highest military quality, the equipment is also very sophisticated, they were arranged in the front, directly facing Luzhou City, Wang Huai knew that this was the first official battle of the Sichuan Revolutionary Army, the stakes were very important, so he was extra cautious, and arranged a large number of sentry posts outside the camp.

Near midnight, Wang Tianjie led three thousand elite soldiers out of Luzhou City quietly, approaching Qiao Yu's camp, but the training of the civilian army was not in place, and it was discovered by a team of sentry hundreds of meters away from the camp, and there was a brief exchange of fire between the two sides.

Wang Tianjie also knew that at this time, only victory was allowed, so he commanded his subordinates to charge desperately to the camp, and after Wang Huai brought the report, he also mobilized manpower to strengthen the defense, just when the people's army was more than 200 meters away from the barracks, the two sides began to exchange fire fiercely, and from time to time people fell, the soldiers of the people's army had been fighting for a long time, and they didn't look at the dead and wounded around them at all, and they bowed their heads and rushed hard, and soon they were only a few dozen meters away from the camp.

The Sichuan army was a little flustered, and the guns were not accurate, but at this time, a team of reinforcements rushed over, and brought two light machine guns, like the sound of machine guns like popping beans, and soon swept dozens of civilian troops, relieving the pressure on the Sichuan army, and the attack of the civilian army was suppressed, but they were very experienced on the battlefield, and they used dead corpses to cover on the spot, and began to shoot at the Sichuan army, many of them were very accurate in marksmanship, and many recruits were shot in the head, and the casualties on both sides were rapidly increasing. After all, the Sichuan army was short in number and was about to miss soon, at this time several heavy machine guns were transferred over, Wang Huai also rushed over with the guards, commanded the operation, and several machine guns formed a crossfire, completely pressing the people's army to the point that they could not raise their heads.

Wang Tianjie watched the soldiers fall in a pool of blood, and felt that the world was spinning, as if he had been taken out of his heart, his strength was too poor compared to the other party, if he couldn't defeat the other party tonight, he was afraid that what was waiting for him would only be failure, so Wang Tianjie was also red-eyed, and personally took the lead, leading the people's army to charge, at this moment a scream came, Wang Tianjie suddenly screamed badly, and hurriedly lay on the ground, a few shells accurately fell in the ranks of the people's army, and several people's soldiers were blown apart in an instant.

Immediately followed by another burst of artillery, the ranks of the people's army suddenly appeared chaotic, among these people are mainly composed of bandits, let these people fight a good fight, let them endure a little sacrifice is okay, but once they feel that the other party is invincible, then the collapse is faster than anyone else, the other party has already noticed the attack on his side, and the machine guns and artillery swept in turn, and if they continue to fight, there is only a dead end, so the big guys don't care about Wang Tianjie's safety, and they have scattered through the night.
