Just when Xie Ruyi was in despair, a group of cavalry quickly killed from far and near.

"Shoot me with a machine gun! Come on! ”

"My lord, we don't have any bullets anymore!" The adjutant said with a sad face, Xie Ruyi suddenly came to his senses, the Yunnan army is now seriously depleted with bullets and shells, and the ammunition depot in the back has been detonated again, how can you deal with the cavalry without bullets.

At this time, the cavalry of the Sichuan army was approaching, and each cavalry held a torch in one hand and a saber in the other, as if a whirlwind was blowing in front of him.

At this time, the Sichuan army on the front also began to counterattack, the sound of machine guns and cannons shook the universe, and the artillery fire was suddenly more than twice as fierce as the original. How can you see Governor Cai Ye!

The soldiers of the Yunnan army were also stunned by the sudden blow, and could no longer maintain the formation, they retreated one after another, and fled straight to the river, at this time there were countless fires in the east, and a group of Sichuan soldiers also launched a charge against the scattered Yunnan army, which was the second brigade that had been recuperating, and the Yunnan army had no fighting spirit, and when they saw that there were Sichuan soldiers in all directions, they fled to the river.

But when they arrived at the riverside, these people were also dumbfounded, the ferries had disappeared, and the Jinsha River was turbulent, how difficult it was to swim over with manpower, Xie Ruyi also came to the riverside under the protection of his entourage at this time, and when he saw this scene, the world suddenly turned.

"Heaven will not me, God will not be me!" After shouting twice, Xie Ruyi was about to take out his gun and commit suicide, but the adjutant on the side hurriedly stopped him.

"Echelon leader, the villain's surname Shui is the best, I'll take you over, and we will be able to take revenge if we find Cai Dudu!"

Xie Ruyi was also overjoyed when he heard that there was still a way to live, and hurriedly jumped into the river with the adjutant, the adjutant also had a way, found a broken wooden plank and threw it into the river, with the buoyancy of the plank, the two of them desperately rowed to the opposite bank, and finally escaped from the danger, but there were only more than 100 people who swam across the river like them, and the rest of the soldiers of the Yunnan army were captured alive except for those who were killed, and more than 2,000 prisoners were captured.

The first collision between Sichuan and Yunnan came to an end, the first echelon of the Yunnan army was basically wiped out, more than 5,000 people died, about 2,000 were captured, and some of them fled, and the balance of strength between Sichuan and Yunnan quietly changed.

"Governor, this battle was really fought, and the Dian army was completely wiped out, I don't think those Dian troops dare to enter Sichuan casually, do you really treat us as noodles!" Wang Huai's 1st Brigade suffered the greatest losses in the battle, with more than 1,000 dead and wounded, but the huge losses also tempered the Sichuan army and made the Sichuan army's combat effectiveness increase rapidly.

"Governor, we have captured more than 2,000 prisoners, what do you think should be done? Let it go or kill it! Liu Yunhong asked on the side.

"What to kill, whether it is the Sichuan people or the Dian people, they are all Chinese, they are all old and young, they are all their own compatriots, soldiers can be cruel, but they can only be like this to outsiders, and those who can be ruthless to their own compatriots are birds and beasts, and even birds and beasts cannot be compared."

Liu Yunhong was actually not really ready to kill, but his subordinates suffered heavy losses and wanted to vent their emotions, and when he heard Qiao Yu criticize him, he immediately stopped talking.

"Governor, now we have defeated the Dian army, but the battle is not over yet, the second echelon of the Dian army has approached Sichuan, and there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Yunnan, if we attract Cai Ye and us to fight hard, things will be in trouble, we still have to plan a little!" Wu Tong looked at a group of triumphant officers and knew that he should pour cold water on them, lest they be too arrogant.

"Well, what the chief of staff said is right, the strength of the Yunnan army should not be underestimated, and Cai Ye is also a deep master of the art of war, much stronger than me, but I think Cai Ye has just established a military and political axe now, and Yunnan is not stable, especially after a big defeat, Yunnan's military spirit is not stable, we might as well give Cai Ye a step down, I don't think he will be so unwise!"

The Sichuan army held a celebration banquet here, and Cai Ye in Kunming City had received a telegram of defeat, and Cai Ye hurriedly gathered all his subordinates to discuss how to deal with this matter!

"Dudu, the Sichuan army is bullying people too much, and the whole 5,000 men and horses have been lost, we can't just forget it, we should attack Sichuan immediately, crusade against Qiao Yu, and let him pay for the lives of the dead brothers!" Li Gengen still fought the main battle, and many generals of the Yunnan army nodded yes one after another, shouting that they were going to attack Sichuan.

"Governor, I have a few words to say!" It was Tang Jiyao who spoke, although his seniority in the Yunnan army was not very high, but he was very resourceful and insightful, and his opinions were also respected by everyone.

"We can't just rely on the courage of blood and blood to fight, we also have to know ourselves and the enemy, the Yunnan army has more than 30,000 people, even if it loses an echelon, there are more than 30,000 people, but Yunnan is not safe, we must leave enough troops to stabilize the place, so the army that can be drawn is only more than 10,000 people, and the Sichuan army with the power of victory must be highly morale, and the number of people in Sichuan is far above Yunnan, if Qiao Yu fights with us with all his might, we may not be able to achieve victory, and the most critical battle is silver, At this point, we can't compete with Sichuan, Yunnan's grain, salt, cloth and other materials have to rely on Sichuan, if Qiao Yu cuts off the supply of materials, I'm afraid that Yunnan will fall into chaos, I think we have to be careful! ”

Tang Jiyao's words were very pertinent, and Cai Ye couldn't help nodding, it was indeed unwise to fight to the death with the Sichuan army rashly.

"I don't see it that way, Fang Cai Geng's words said that our difficulties are indeed good, but we must also see the difficulties of the Sichuan army, now Sichuan has not been reunified, the power of the Manchu Qing is still there, and there is no discord between the revolutionary party and Qiao Yu, so Qiao Yu can't draw too much strength, so he has no advantage in competing with us, on the contrary, he has to guard against being stabbed in the back, so he should fight with him!" Li Gengen continued to express his opinions, and at this moment an adjutant walked in and handed Cai Ye two pieces of information, Cai Ye glanced at it, and immediately sighed, it seems that his plan to plot Sichuan has failed.

"Everyone, don't fight, Duan Fang has been killed by the mutinous army, and his younger brother Duan Jin died together, and Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan in the Manchu Dynasty, also announced the release of Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and others!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned, they didn't expect the situation in Sichuan to change so quickly, the two largest Manchu forces in Sichuan disappeared, and the excuse for the Dian army to enter Sichuan again disappeared, and at this time, another telegram came, and it was Qiao Yu who sent the report.

Cai Du Governor Taijian: Sichuan and Yunnan provinces depend on each other, share weal and woe, the Yunnan army into Sichuan to assist the revolution is the great righteousness, but the Yunnan army does not understand the situation in Sichuan, the Sichuan people are fully capable of solving their own problems with their own strength, the two armies have a little unpleasant, the younger brother is very guilty, willing to return all the captured Yunnan soldiers, and at the same time provide the Yunnan army with 200,000 yuan of travel expenses, and provide the Yunnan army with 20,000 loads of salt, 100,000 loads of grain, all for the purpose of making amends, and ask Cai Dudu to forgive the younger brother for his rudeness, The economic and trade exchanges between Sichuan and Yunnan provinces have been very close since ancient times, and after the revolution, we should consider the people of the two provinces and the people's livelihood! We must not rush into conflict and bring harm to the people.

Qiao Yu sent such a telegram to Cai Ye at this time, soft and hard, and at the same time gave the Yunnan army a step, Cai Ye knew that now the situation in Sichuan had been decided, and it was unwise for him to rashly start a war with the Sichuan army, so he called back and agreed to Qiao Yu's proposal.

"Shi Yi, after I leave, southern Sichuan will be handed over to you, I hope you can pick up this burden, defend Xufu, and defend Luzhou!"

"Rest assured, the Governor will live up to your cultivation grace!" Successfully blocked the Yunnan army outside Sichuan, Qiao Yu had a lot of peace in his heart, and the next is to quickly unify Sichuan, after some weighing, Qiao Yu left Shiyi's second brigade in Xufu, and at the same time expanded into the southern Sichuan garrison division, responsible for guarding southern Sichuan.

He took the men and horses of the first division and the first brigade to Fushun, just two days ago, Lu Nai had quietly sent a message, saying that he had won over two salt merchants to support Qiao Yu's reform plan, and the fortress was always breached from the inside first, and with Lu Nai's cooperation, it was time to completely solve the salt problem.
