Although Zhang Zuolin knew that it was difficult for him to block the conquest of Kong Weibei's army, he thought that the Beiyang New Army that came to Xinmin was only more than 2,000, and he had more than 1,300 people, and most of them were bandits who had been licking blood on the knife for many years.

But what he didn't expect was that the gap between the two was not only in quantity, but also in quality!

He had long heard that the Beiyang New Army could fight, but he still didn't expect that the counterattack launched by more than 400 people under his command would be over without even touching the skin on the opposite side.

Not only were most of the dead and wounded, but also the sentry led by Wang Liyou was even too far in front of the charge, and he didn't even have a chance to retreat and was finally surrounded and annihilated.

He didn't even know that someone had already smuggled Wang Liyou's letter to Zhang Zuoxiang and several other bandit leaders!

Zhang Zuoxiang put down the letter in his hand, and he Wang Liyou has been friends for many years, so he naturally recognized that this was Wang Liyou's handwriting, and after putting down the letter, he looked up at the young man in a horse coat in front of him: "Hmph, although there is a precedent of two armies fighting each other since ancient times, but you are not afraid that I will really kill!" ”

The young man was unimpressed by Zhang Zuoxiang's intimidation: "I am naturally afraid of death, but if Zhang Sentinel is willing to die with me with nearly 300 brothers under you, I will not be wronged!" ”

Listening to this person's arrogant words, Zhang Zuoxiang's face instantly fell: "Even if your army can fight, won't I turn north if I can't beat it!" If you want to spare hundreds of my lives, it's almost the same as your entire Third Town! ”

Listening to Zhang Zuoxiang's words, the young envoy continued to laugh: "In Guangzong, my family commanded thousands of people to quell the rebellion, killing more than 2,000 people and capturing nearly 10,000 people in a few months. Since the beginning of the year, there have been many anti-bandit operations, and no less than 2,000 bandits have died under our army, and 3,000 people have been taken prisoner. In yesterday's battle, the main force of our army had already defeated more than 400 of your army, killed more than 100 people on the spot, and captured more than 100 people! ”

After counting the achievements of his third town, the young envoy continued to look at Zhang Zuoxiang and said, "Does Sentinel Zhang think that you can survive under the crushing of our army?" As for escaping, the 2,000 cavalry under the command of our Chinese gang are roaming around the periphery, are you confident that you can escape? ”

Listening to the achievements of the army under Zhao Dongyun, you will find that Zhao Dongyun does not seem to have fought any battles, but there are definitely many people who died under Zhao Dongyun.

Maybe Wang Yingkai, Feng Guozhang, and Wang Shizhen climbed up purely by virtue of qualifications and talents, but Zhao Dongyun did not have enough qualifications, he relied on talent and military exploits.

The pacification of the Guangzong Rebellion and the suppression of bandits in Jinzhou may not be anything in the long river of history, but no one can deny that Zhao Dongyun led the army to kill thousands of people before and after.

Seeing Zhang Zuoxiang's face several times, the young envoy continued: "However, although it is extremely easy for our army to destroy Er, it also needs to consume some ammunition, so in order to save ammunition, my family commander does not mind continuing to protect you!" ”

Zhang Zuoxiang's face was even more embarrassed when he heard these words, and people said that accepting his surrender was not because they were afraid that they would not be able to fight or suffer heavy casualties, but just to save ammunition......

And this is really one of the main reasons, this war consumes a lot of ammunition, especially when carrying out shelling, it is a lot of silver smashed into it, which is naturally a small business for the third town, which can be saved, and thousands of shells are consumed without fighting a bandit......

Seeing that Zhang Zuoxiang didn't seem willing to answer positively, the young envoy said again: "And I can sue Officer Zhang, this is the last chance, as long as Officer Zhang is willing to lead the army to vote, then my family commander can at least guarantee your future as a deputy military academy." If you miss today, even if Zhang Whistle surrenders to Cheng in front of the battle in the future, it will be impossible to have this kind of preferential treatment! ”

Zhang Zuoxiang finally spoke at this time: "If I bring people over, can I continue to lead troops like Lu Guandao?" ”

The messenger secretly despised in his heart: Do you think your troops can continue to fight with more than half of the casualties? Don't look at what kind of goods you are, if it weren't for the ammunition money of tens of thousands of taels of silver, it would still accept your surrender, I would have called you a long time ago!

After Lu Shuanggun surrendered, he was also reused, this is a very special example, although this person's tactics of leading troops to fight are not very powerful, but the personality charm of the people is simply at the level of the military god, and the ability to boost the morale of the troops is considered to be at the level of demons among the hundreds of officers and officers of all sizes in the third town, otherwise he would still want to be the pipe of the cavalry battalion as a person from a bandit? And it was also in the Jinzhou patrol battalion under Zhao Dongyun, which was simply impossible.

So the messenger said very simply: "No! ”

If you want to continue to lead the troops, then you can choose to go to my third town with the camp school to study, and after graduation, you can naturally be sent to the army to take up a real position!" ”

When Zhang Zuoxiang heard this, he finally said after thinking about it carefully for more than a minute: "Since this is the case, then my life will be sold to Lord Zhao!" ”

When the young envoy heard this, he immediately laughed: "Welcome Brother Zhang to my third town!" ”

Zhang Zuoxiang also laughed and said: "In the future, I will ask Brother Gong to help me more!" ”

"It's easy to say, Brother Zhang will go to the crash course at Suiying Academy for half a year first, and then come out, we will be colleagues!"

Zhang Zuoxiang also smiled, already thinking that he could get rid of the identity of a bandit and go to the Suiying Academy in the third town to study, it is estimated that he would not have to be as worried as he is now in the future.

To tell the truth, this treatment is already what many people want, although the civilian officers of the third town do not lead the troops, but if they do a good job, the power is also great, such as the general offices of the headquarters of the third town, they are not all civilian officers, but Lin Yongquan and Zhao Dongping who dare to underestimate their power.

As for the camp academy in the third town, although it is not a formal military school, it has a good reputation in the Beiyang system and even in North China, because the refresher course in it is the only place in the Beiyang system that can provide advanced military training.

Ordinary people can't get into it if they want to, ordinary students want to apply for the academy, they have to go to the third town to sign up for the army, and then they can apply for the academy as an active soldier in the third town, and they can only go to a crash course, as for the refresher class is designed to train senior officers, only active duty officers can apply for the exam, and they are generally part-time studies, and they do not recruit soldiers and ordinary students!

Zhang Zuoxiang surrendered, and also led his nearly 300 men and horses to rebel directly in front of the battle, when Kong Guanbei led the troops to launch an offensive the next day, Zhang Zuoxiang led the troops into Zhang Zuolin's headquarters, and then killed Zhang Zuolin and Tang Yulin and many others on the spot, and then led the troops to attack Zhang Zuolin's other horses from behind, and in less than a day, Zhang Zuolin's other troops were completely dispersed.

With this letter of nomination, Zhang Zuoxiang walked into the temporary headquarters of Kong Guanbei with trepidation!

"Brother Zhang, you have made great contributions in this battle!" Kong Guanbei didn't put on a stinky fart shelf, this time Kong Guanbei was able to give Zhang Zuolin and his gang a pot at such a small price, not even a few shells, not only killed Zhang Zuolin and Tang Yulin on the spot, but none of these thousands of bandits escaped, except for more than 100 people killed during the battle, the others either surrendered or were captured.

Although there were not many enemies killed and wounded in this battle, it was far inferior to the last two bandit operations led by Meng Enyuan, but the relative casualties were also small, and the consumption of ammunition was also less, which was more cost-effective for himself.

Kong Weibei has even imagined what kind of smile his own commander will show after his battle report arrives in Jinzhou, it is impossible to get promoted and make a fortune with this battle, but he can also write a heavy stroke on his military resume, and when there is a chance to be promoted in the future, he will have more advantages than others.

Zhao Dongyun was indeed as he imagined, after receiving his good news, Zhao Dongyun saw Kong Weibei and said that he only killed four people and injured more than 30 people, and one of the four people killed fell from his horse and died when he was on horseback, and he actually defeated Zhang Zuolin's department of thousands of people, and more importantly, he didn't even consume much ammunition. One is the interception operation carried out by the cavalry at the beginning in order to intercept Jin Wanfu's cavalry coat, more than 50 horsemen against 200 horsemen in close combat, but this battle can be said to have not consumed a single bullet. The last two battles were defensive battles, and the other was the final offensive battle, although the scale reached hundreds of people, but the duration was relatively short, and the exchange of fire was not very intense, so the ammunition consumption was still relatively small.

And that batch of ordnance was also found by Shun Lì, the batch of ordnance was hidden in a barren mountain range, if no one led the way, it really couldn't be found, but Zhang Zuolin always knew about so many people, or Zhang Zuoxiang personally led people to carry these ordnance back.

In this comparison, it can almost be seen that Kong Guanbei almost effortlessly took down Zhang Zuolin's department, and I don't know whether to say that he is lucky or that he is strong......
