"Dashuai, leave it to me, I've been squatting in Yucheng for so long but I haven't fought a battle, you should always let me show it!" Han Yong also tried his best to ask for battle, he did not participate in many important battles, although his qualifications were very old, but these new figures could not necessarily be convinced, so he also tried his best to fight.

Qiao Yu shook his head slightly: "Don't fight, I have to go in person this time, a few thieves are not terrible, but these bandits are at the junction of Shaanxi, Hubei, Sichuan, and Henan provinces, and they will inevitably have to deal with other provinces, Henan Governor Zhang Zhenfang, Hubei Governor Li Yuanhong, and Shaanxi Governor Zhang Fenghui are not simple characters, let you fight I can rest assured, but it is inevitably a little difficult for you to deal with these guys!" ”

Everyone stopped fighting when they heard it, the location of this bandit suppression was at the intersection of several provinces, and there was still a big gap between their identities and the governor of a province, it seemed that Qiao Yu really needed to be in charge himself.

After some discussion, Qiao Yu decided to take the second division and draw a regiment from the cavalry brigade to form a bandit army, at this time the Sichuan army has completed the reorganization, Qiao Yu finally decided that the Sichuan army all adopt the Beiyang establishment, a division under the jurisdiction of two brigades, each brigade two regiments, each regiment three battalions, each battalion four companies, each company three platoons, each platoon three squads, each squad of 14 people, in addition to an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment and engineering troops, baggage troops, medical teams, artillery regiments under the jurisdiction of three artillery battalions, each battalion eighteen 75 mm mountain guns, a total of fifty-four guns.

Qiao Yu also thought about the configuration of artillery, whether to take twelve guns per battalion or eighteen guns per battalion, of course, these two types of preparation have their own advantages, due to the terrain in the southwest Qiao Yu tends to use twelve guns per battalion, but due to the poor quality of the artillery of the Sichuan army, it is difficult to ensure sufficient firepower intensity for twelve guns, and what configuration the army adopts mainly depends on who its opponent is.

At present, the main imaginary enemy of the Sichuan army is the Beiyang Army and the Yunnan Army, as for the other armies, there is no ability to destroy the artillery of the Sichuan Army, and the Beiyang Army and the Yunnan Army have adopted the establishment of eighteen guns per battalion, so the Sichuan Army has also adopted the same establishment, of course, the Sichuan Army also has a trump card, that is, the heavy artillery regiment, and the artillery ordered from Germany has been delivered one after another, which is an effective weapon for the Sichuan Army to restrain the enemy in the future.

The cavalry regiment did not refer to the Beiyang, but followed the example of the great powers and adopted a small regiment and a large battalion, a regiment of four companies, each company of 150 people, a total of 600 people, after the reorganization of a division of the Sichuan army is close to 12,000 people, because a large number of mortars and machine guns are equipped, the firepower of the Sichuan army is still above the Beiyang, but the Sichuan army can only make up two divisions.

Among them, the first division is a mountain division, focusing on mountain operations, not that Qiao Yu does not want to reorganize more, but the number of officers is insufficient, and the number of technical soldiers is also seriously insufficient, these two divisions are also relatively reluctant, and it is delusional to expand the army again, and now the most important problem restricting the growth of the Sichuan army is the lack of outstanding military talents.

Qiao Yu used a total of 15,000 soldiers to quickly march to the northeast of Sichuan, and at the same time, Qiao Yu also sent a telegram to Lao Yuan, asking Lao Yuan to coordinate the provinces to exterminate the White Wolf Bandit Army as soon as possible.

After Lao Yuan received this telegram, there were still some monks who were confused, at first he had heard the news of bandits, but he never thought that the bandits would be so powerful that they could cause trouble in several provinces, if it weren't for Qiao Yu's telegram asking for war, Lao Yuan would still be kept in the dark.

Yuan Shikai immediately asked his subordinates to investigate, in fact, the matter is very simple, that is, the fine tradition of bullying and concealing the subordinates once again played a role, Zhang Zhenfang did not take the white wolf as a thing at first, and when the bandit army became bigger, he had no ability to suppress the bandits, so he could only choose to hide as much as possible, after knowing the truth, Yuan Shikai was almost blown up by anger, these bastards regarded national affairs as child's play, and dared to expire themselves like this.

Lao Yuan felt more and more that the Beiyang group must be rectified, otherwise there would be no need for others to oppose it, and even if these gangs were full of food, they would be able to wipe out their own country, but now the main force of the Beiyang Army has been transferred to the Yangtze River line, ready to attack the Kuomintang forces at any time, and it is really impossible to transfer troops.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lao Yuan decided to appoint Qiao Yu as the commander-in-chief of the four provinces to suppress bandits, and to oversee the suppression of bandits in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei, and Henan.

After Qiao Yu received this appointment, it was more justified to send troops to suppress bandits, but at this time there was new information, Daning was broken by the bandit army, and now the bandit army is besieging the White Emperor City, it is reported that the number of bandit troops has exceeded 10,000 people, the momentum is huge, and the murderous surname, after breaking Daning, all the local officials were slaughtered, and at the same time, the slogan of free grain was also played.

Qiao Yu showed this information to a group of officers: "Everyone, these thieves regard themselves as King Li Chuang, but now is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not given a chance to mess around, in order to exterminate the thief army as soon as possible, they are divided into two routes, the first road is the cavalry regiment led by Liu Yunhong, go to Nanchong, Daxian, and rush to Dongxiang as soon as possible, cooperate with the local militia reserve force to prevent the thieves from attacking, and the second division as the main direction of attack, then advance from the waterway and attack the White Emperor City!" ”

After Qiao Yu's order was issued, the Sichuan army moved quickly, the cavalry had already started, and the second division also collected enough ships to quickly go down the river and go straight to the White Emperor City.

I am afraid that there is no one who knows the Great White Emperor City, this is the lonely place of Liu Beituo, only eight kilometers away from Fengjie, it is the best place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges, but at this time this small city has become a place of war, thousands of bandits besieged the city, day and night, the local officials and gentry garrison troops are all mobilized, they already know the fate of the Daning officials.

If they don't do their best now, I'm afraid that when the city is broken, there will only be one way to burn the jade, and they are also confident that the Sichuan army has been mobilized at this time, as long as it can hold out for a while, reinforcements will soon be able to come.

The bandit army that attacked the White Emperor City this time was mainly divided into two parts, although they were all under the banner of the White Wolf Army, but the two sides were not under the same command, one part was the bandits who escaped from Sichuan, these people were headed by Manshanhong, there were about 1,000 people, and the other was headed by Li Hongbin, who was usually friendly with the white wolf, and was also a big bandit, but with the expansion of the white wolf's power, Li Hongbin gradually changed from an ally to a subordinate, so he was very angry. ‘

happened to collude with the original bandits in Sichuan, and along the way dragged countless Li people to invade Sichuan, Li Hongbin has no culture, but he likes to listen to books, and he has a good impression of Sichuan, the reason is very simple, Zhuge Liang fell in love here.

"Sister Hong, I don't think the army in Sichuan is anything remarkable, it is no different from Henan's, it is a bunch of rice buckets, according to this, we will soon be able to play a piece of our own world, and when the time comes, I will also learn from Liu Bei, and when I become the emperor in Shu, Your Majesty, I will allow Yuan Datou and Sun Dacang to be the president, and I will not be allowed to be the emperor!"

After Li Hongbin finished speaking, he laughed well, and the thief's eyes continued to sweep over the delicate figure of the mountain, and finally his eyes fell on the upturned buttocks, although Li Hongbin played with countless women, but he had never seen such a capable and spicy girl, all the evil fire in his heart was mobilized, and he couldn't wait to get this charcoal into his arms immediately and rub it arbitrarily.

Just when Li Hongbin's heart was full of evil thoughts, a little minion shouted next to him: "It's not good for the big boss, look at the sky, something is flying over!" ”
