In Baoying City, there is a bleak scene. △ Top Novel, x.

This small city, when the Qin army was conducting a strategic battle today, the low head of the city had been beaten to pieces, and the gaps in the black holes were exposed everywhere like dogs' teeth. Now the Qin army has stopped, yes, stopped. After the Qin army smashed the walls of Baoying and the 'hearts' of all the Huai troops in the city, they stopped. Didn't take the opportunity to attack Baoying City! But the Huai army in the city has not repaired the city wall now, and they have lost interest and motivation in repairing the city wall!

What to repair? What's the use of repairing? Qin Jun can still easily break it. Therefore, the head of Baoying City is very quiet.

There was a light rain in the sky, as if they were crying for tens of thousands of Huai soldiers. Standing on the high place at the head of Baoying City, you can faintly see the depths of the southern sky, at the end of the rain curtain, the blood-colored battlefield is reflected in a thrilling red. In the drenched rain, there were still Huai soldiers in Baoying City, and the officers and soldiers of the Huai Army, excellent, excellent, small, said, more, new, fastest, WWW.UUXS.CC, and stood in a daze, all with pale faces.

The rain slowly became heavier. The heavy rain poured down on everyone's face, and everyone was so restless.

Li Hongzhang did not withdraw from Baoying last night, but he sent his men and horses to the north. Under the command of today's meeting, a large number of supplies from Huai'an will arrive in the north as much as possible, and all the scattered troops will retreat. The Huai army, which fled directly to Huai'an, also retreated. Huai'an only set up a camp for wounded soldiers to receive the wounded and sick. As for the troops who have been transferred, let's go quickly! This order has spread all over Baoying, making the remaining troops even more frightened.

However, the Qin army did not cross the city wall, and the Huai army in the city had some control. One order after another was issued, and the medic began to prepare the bed. Reception of the sick and wounded. The men also started to light a fire and prepare a hot meal. Some of the soldiers who were still intact hurried to occupy the city walls and fortifications in the city. All of them moved in the pouring rain.

Everyone is drenched, and they can't help but tremble from the inside to the outside.

One more day. The rain becomes smaller.

But the dark clouds on the horizon still seem to be as dignified as lead. The muddy roads are even more muddy, and even the solid official roads cannot be kept smooth under the continuous rain. A group of defeated soldiers of the Huai army appeared outside the city of Huai'an. Although the people of Huai'an City had already expected the bad situation on the front line, looking at the tragic situation of these Huai soldiers after the defeat, the iron men were still going to shed tears.

The military uniform on his body was tattered, the shoes under his feet were open at the front and back, and he was covered in mud all over his body, and he had to struggle for a long time to take a step. A better one still has a rifle in his hand, but it has also become a crutch. More of it with bare hands. Only numb and struggling forward. From Baoying to Huai'an, the road of seventy or eighty miles encountered heavy rain again, the road was muddy, and there was no food in the stomach. The corpse struggled to withdraw, looking at each other all the way, all the way to the end of the south......

Huai'an City contained one or two thousand people, and less than fifty wounded soldiers, who were really seriously injured. Either he hid in a farmhouse or died on the road.

Although the Qin army has been invincible since the beginning of the army, the Huai army has been defeated in successive battles. However, thanks to the advantages of the Huai army military system at this time, the various Huai armies are not connected. Li Hongzhang made up his mind, sprinkled a lot of silver, and the Huai army assembled on the battlefield began to rely on sharpness. It really looks like an elite soldier. But now the defeat in the First World War is so unbearable, the essence is withered away. As soon as qiē was beaten back to their original form!

Yang Dingxun, general of the Huai Army. It was at night that he arrived in Huai'an, and he also suffered a lot when he was nearly fifty years old. He was hit in the back by a stray bullet when he left the battlefield, and he could not even ride a horse, so he was carried on a stretcher by his own soldiers. One of the three generals of the Huai army who arrived in Huai'an was carried into Huai'an City in this way.

Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, Yang Dingxun entered the residence arranged by the Huai'an government without saying a word.

At the earliest, he fought with Guo Songlin, Liu Bingzhang and others against the Qin army in Jiangxi, losing four battalions of troops. However, the Ding army was Li Hongzhang's descendant unit, and he was soon re-recruited due to lack of personnel. At this point, he is much better than Guo Songlin, who was discouraged and had no fighting spirit.

Guo Songlin is now scattered in Tianjin, firstly, because he was really hit too hard, and he did not have the courage to go back to the battlefield to confront the Qin army, and on the other hand, he was a native of Hunan, and the traces of the Hunan army were too heavy and heavy. His hometown was occupied by the Qin army, and Li Hongzhang had some consideration in his heart.

Then the five infantry battalions of the Ding army were eaten by the Qin army in Yangzhou, and now the main force of the Ding army was completely beaten to the point of collapse, and Yang Dingxun didn't want to say anything.

He was draped in a clean quilt, sitting cross-legged on the bed, completely devoid of the demeanor of a soldier, like a dying old man. The Huai'an prefect and the Caoyun Governor Wen Bin said impassionedly, and Yang Dingxun just glanced at them with his eyelids down, and didn't say a word.

……

Baoying County.

"Zhongtang, the Qin army sent an envoy to give us a day and ask us to surrender unconditionally............"

Zhou Fu stood beside Li Hongzhang, his eyes were full of tears, and his tone was choked. The rain was about to stop, but the cool breeze was so strong that it shattered his words.

Li Hongzhang was lying on a recliner, covered with a thick blanket, and he didn't move. His health is not good, it may be that he has been hit too hard, and the aging of these two days is visible to the naked eye. But the next few days will be lived, right?

At the same time, Liu Xian was lying on the map of northern Jiangsu, and was using a pen to outline the next march route of the troops.

can hit Lunan directly. As soon as the Huai army is finished, Anhui and Henan will be able to solve it very well.

Liu Xian only has a map of northern Jiangsu in front of him, but what he thinks about is the overall situation of the whole of China. Now that the war has been fought, it is time for me to plan to land in Tianjin, southern Liaoning, and Korea.

Liu Xian plans to occupy the Northeast one step ahead of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

broke the Manchu Qing's dream of moving to the Northeast. If they want to run, the Northwest and Mongolia are two good places.

The former has many armies, and the latter has the Mongols, the hardcore ally of the Manchus!

Although really, both places are unwarranted. In the northwest, the mass base of the Manchu Qing was very poor, and the northwest was suffering and could not feed so many banner people at all. When he arrived in the grassland, he was even more miserable, and Liu Xian felt that he didn't need to be persecuted, and in less than a year and a half, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would collapse itself.

The only benefit of the Manchus in the northwest was to get convenient support from the Russians. This is something that the Northeast side cannot match. The Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet been built, and the strength of the Russians in the northeast is not worth mentioning, and they are not worthy of a blow from the Qin army! Although the northwest also has this and that problem, it is much better than the northeast!

However, the Manchus had a real 'popular base' in the northeast, and even if the Manchus were destroyed, their remnants of the guerrillas would be able to cause certain troubles for the large-scale development and large-scale migration of the northeast that had been put on the agenda of the new Qin.

Therefore, Liu Xian would rather let the Manchus go to the northwest than let them come to the northeast.

And after the Manchus went to the northwest, the biggest question was how far the Manchus could endure? How much pressure and burden they can bear!

As long as the Manchus ran to Ganxi, the Qin army in Hanzhong went all out to the north, and Liu Xian did not think that the Manchus could really flee to Xinjiang. The Manchus were more likely to go to Mongolia.

In Xinjiang, Liu Xian's fame and prestige are definitely not comparable to those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Dong Fuxiang, Xu Dongshan, and Le Shan, who were in charge of the military, even if they were Le Shan, who was born in the banner, Liu Xian did not think that he would be able to continue to be loyal to the Manchu Qing when the time came.

……

Rewind the clock to yesterday.

When Yang Dingxun climbed to Huai'an with difficulty, Gaoyou Prefecture also ushered in a large number of Huai troops, but their identities were no longer armed soldiers, but prisoners of war.

The rain was pouring down, and the flat field was full of Huai soldiers rolling like mud monkeys, and they could no longer see their previous faces of 'chasing the people of northern Jiangsu, and being arrogant and unstoppable'. Now they were piles and piles, slumped in the mud. The rain drenched everyone and shrunk them into a ball.

Weapons and military resources were everywhere as early as when they were captured, and not only did people become fools, but they also lost the strength to think, and even the mules and horses that were scattered and discarded were also dumbfounded.

The soldiers of the Qin army, escorting and transporting the wounded and sick, braved the heavy rain as they passed through the defeated soldiers that covered the land. These victors were equally exhausted, even exhausted, but their spirits were high. It was in stark contrast to the Huai army prisoners of war with a sluggish expression.

On the way back to Gaoyou Prefecture from Baoyingze, the captive procession grew larger and larger, stretching from the front of the eyes to the end of the rain curtain, as if it were endless. In the muddy water, the flags of the Huai military camp were tattered, and they were trampled by a pair of heavy feet.

This picture has witnessed the complete collapse of an old empire!

……

To say that the only thing that was very dissatisfied with the Qin army was the three brigades of cavalry sent by Liu Xian to shoot Yang Lake. They did not meet the three or four thousand Huai army and horse team led by Tang Renqian at all.

The latter stopped in Yancheng for half a day, and then waited for Li Hongzhang's urgent letter.

Tang Renqian couldn't believe that more than 40,000 Huai troops collapsed in one day. But Li Hongzhang's handwritten letter cannot be faked.

So when the Huai army horse team was about to meet the Qin army cavalry, the Huai army ran away.

Tang Renqian didn't even return to Huai'an, and went straight north to Funing.

The cavalry of the Qin army of the three brigades did not have any credit except for sweeping Yancheng.

The next evening, this big battle, which attracted the attention of the whole country and even the world, finally came to an end. When Li Hongzhang inspected the city, he stumbled and rolled down the steps, and he was unconscious and could not be controlled. In the face of the Qin army's ultimatum, although the Huai army's final resistance was very weak, small and small, Pan Dingxin did not surrender!

The identities of Pan Dingxin, Nie Shicheng, Zhang Shaotang and others who were imprisoned in a room by the Qin army were no different from the thousands of Huai Army soldiers who were captured on the battlefield, they were all prisoners of war!

Liu Xian also formally received the multinational field observation team and handed back several members of the observation group. In this war, the affairs of the Huasheng Army trained by Britain, France and Germany, as well as the appearance of the Huasheng Army in this war, could not be hidden from him. But there is no need to uncover such a thing.

As for the appearance of the Huasheng army in the war, and whether Britain, France and Germany have achieved their goals, it is like a person drinking water, and he knows whether he is warm or cold. (To be continued......)
