Poor Shi Duo suffered this kind of humiliation, returned to Rong Lu's Chinese army tent and regained his courage and pointed to the north for a while, causing Rong Lu to be a wine banquet and a drama and a beauty, so that he could suppress his full anger, and then returned to Beijing with a wounded heart, no way, I can't see how people pass on the decree, in fact, Shi Duo was secretly happy at this time, originally he was going to go over with 100,000 taels of silver tickets to see if it really didn't work, so he would take a little bit of Yang Feng, and now he saved 100,000 taels of silver.

As soon as he went back and said that Cixi didn't recruit him, everyone was at the thousand-year-old fox level, so he naturally understood Yang Feng's intentions, as long as the will of the imperial court could not reach him, then he could confidently say that he didn't know what to do, as for what his subordinates did as soldiers, I think that all the princes of the imperial court can support the boat in the belly of the prime minister, so are you embarrassed to worry about a bunch of rough blanks who don't know a word?

Since he doesn't know the will of the imperial court, his subordinates love to play how they want, not to mention harassing the place, even if they go to Beijing to harass them, at most they are not strict with the emperor, in short, they can't put the hat of rebellion on him anyway.

But it can't be looked at like this, he has built a port in Qinhuangdao, it is conceivable that he is going to prepare to live for a long time, he is now 18,000 people is less, but if he wants to transport another division, 36,000 people, the new army of the three towns of the imperial court will not be able to stop him no matter what, and it is estimated that it will be time for him to take the initiative to meet him.

"Lafayette, otherwise, let's take advantage of its undecided foothold and let Rong Zhongtang kill the Luanhe River, and gather the strength of the three towns plus the patrol team, how can there be 40,000 people, the old minister will not believe that Yang Rei's subordinates are all three heads and six arms, and more than twice the strength will not be able to drive him into the sea." Yi Xuan said viciously, he had been so proud of Zai Zhen's braggadocio that he had forgotten what his precious son was.

Cixi was also a little moved, these days Zaizhen and a group of young Zhuang factions of the clan were dangling in front of her every day, looking at the majesty one by one, especially yesterday I personally went to inspect the third town. The scene of 10,000 guns, cannons roaring, and bayonets like a forest of bayonets gave birth to a sense of pride for a woman, looking at Bodisus on a horse, she seemed to see the majestic posture of the monk king back then, since this is the case, you might as well give it a try.

However, she still maintained a trace of sanity, and consulted Rong Lu on this issue first, Rong Lu is sober, except for the first town, which can fight, the others are all a bunch of tricks, if they are allowed to stick to the Luanhe. Maybe there is still a little hope, this is the same as suicide if you want to take the initiative to attack in the past, he quickly replied to the telegram that he disagreed, but he did not agree with the gang under his command to quit.

Zai Zhen took those noble officers to fight every day, and a group of young princes in Beijing even gave him the nickname of Grandma Rong, and even some princes and ministers in the court criticized him for cowardice, which made Cixi confused, and directly ordered him to fight with Yang Feng no matter what, even if it was just to test his combat effectiveness. Don't be afraid of failure, failure is also experience.

Now Rong Lu has no tricks.

"Shoushan, what do you think?" He asked Yuan Shoushan, and now he can provide him with valuable advice.

"The battle will be lost. But without a fight, there is no way to stop the mouth. Yuan Shoushan said with a strange smile on his face.

Rong Lu immediately understood what he meant, and this guy hesitated for a moment and asked the foreign advisor next to him: "Mr. Schberger, what do you think will happen if we take the initiative to attack the north shore?"

Retired British Major Schberger shrugged and said, "My lord." Mr. Yang is the designer of the current machine gun, trench, barbed wire position defense system. General Nie Shicheng's old-style army still slaughtered the elite of the Japanese army with a small number of enemies, and the European countries have not yet found an effective way to crack it, and now it is replaced by the army under the personal command of Mr. Yang, what do you think will be the result of our initiative to attack?"

Rong Lu smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your guidance, I think our soldiers can break this myth with courage, I decided to attack the north bank, and I ordered the second and third towns to attack, and the first town to hold the south bank."

Schberger shrugged, probably thinking that these guys were really incredible, he had visited the battlefield of Asan, and the scene of the Japanese army falling under the muzzle of the machine gun made him unforgettable, it was like a pure tusha, the desperate eyes of the Japanese soldiers who hung on the barbed wire and could not advance or retreat, could only watch and wait for death, even made him feel like hell, and the barbed wire fence on the position on the north bank was denser, and the interval between the machine gun bunkers was smaller, you can imagine how terrible the tusha would be when attacking such a position, Of course, this has nothing to do with him, he is just a hired instructor and consultant, and they are willing to send them to death.

The news of Rong Lu's order to attack made the two or three towns jubilant, especially those noble children, one by one, they almost set up wine to celebrate, to be honest, these young masters who came from small clothes to reach out for food to open their mouths, how do they know what is going on in the war, on weekdays, they have to fight in a group of slaves, and they can stir up the chickens and dogs in the mansion by breaking a little skin, and the sea of corpses and blood is just a song of a storyteller in their impression.

They knew that they were wearing beautiful new army uniforms, holding dazzling weapons of the latest style, and there were rows of cannons behind them, and as for fighting, it must be a long knife and a finger, and countless soldiers flocked to it, and then they could boast about their great military exploits like boasting of their ancestors.

The abnormal behavior here was immediately discovered by the observation post on the other side, and then reported to Yang Feng, who was teasing a fisherman's little Lori on the beach, was at a loss by this news.

"You're not mistaken, are you?" He asked Chen Zhong in disbelief, how dare Rong Lu take the initiative to attack? Did he really think that the Eight Banners soldiers under his command who had practiced gymnastics for several months had this ability?

"It's true, at this time, they have already begun to prepare for artillery fire." Chen Zhong said.

On the south bank of the Luan River, with the commander's order, on the three artillery positions belonging to the three towns, more than 100 Krupp 75 Elements Battalion guns spewed flames at the same time, and the whistling of shells pierced the sky, and then the loyal and brave positions on the opposite bank were drowned by the fire of the explosion, and at the same time, 20,000 soldiers under the leadership of the officers carried bayonet rifles, held large flags, and rushed down the bank of the Luan River in a dense formation.

There was no reaction from the other side, except for the fire of the explosion of shells, not even a single enemy machine gun in sight, not even a single flag, and if it were not for the dense barbed wire, it would have made people suspect that it would be a desert without people.

"Okay, just blow it up!" Zai Zhen, who was wearing a yellow coat over the new army uniform, rode on a Western horse purchased at a high price, and the horsewhip pointed at the other side and shouted excitedly, this product is just twenty years old this year, and it is the age of indomitable, because it is the prince of King Qing, and he has long been carried away by a group of fox friends and dog friends on weekdays, since he has found this new army command position, it is even more like Sun Wu reincarnated, scratching his ears and cheeks and looking forward to the day when he has a horizontal knife and a prancing horse, and the day when he crisscrosses the battlefield, and now he finally gets what he wants, and he is simply covered in blood and burning.

Of course, he still kept some sanity, and did not learn from Bodisus to personally command the charge, but hid behind to experience the feeling of strategizing.

He's listening to the sound of the cannon there, looking forward to his pride! Suddenly, there was a strange whistling in the sky, and before he could understand what was going on, the face of Nie Shicheng's old department, who was dug by his father with a high salary, immediately changed, and he suddenly reached out and pulled him down, and then turned over and pressed on his back, almost at the same time, Zai Zhen saw the fire flashing in front of him, and then the sun disappeared in an instant.

The huge explosion sound was like a heavy punch smashing into his ears, and in an instant, no sound could be heard, including his own frightened screams, through the veteran's body, he felt a heavy object slammed into his chest, smashing his eyes so black that he almost fainted, and then looked at the artillery position next to him, which had been completely submerged by the flames of the explosion, and one cannon after another became fragmented parts scattered in the firelight, and a cannon barrel even roared over his head, this scene made him pee his pants without hesitation.

These new army artillerymen don't know how to hide themselves at all, and they also use the tactics of the era of direct aiming to put the cannon in the most conspicuous position, and those Bofors Miss 75 hidden in the annular gun emplacement on the other side can be easily solved even without the artillery mirror, not to mention that there are all kinds of high-tech sighting equipment now, and the maximum range difference between the two sides is almost three kilometers, such an artillery battle is simply to send them food, not only Zai Zhen's side, but even Yuan Shoushan and Bodisu were all attacked at the same time, At the beginning of the shelling, less than two minutes later, the shells on the opposite bank wiped out all three artillery positions, and Rong Lu, who was watching the battle from a distance, was completely heartbroken.

The continuous explosion continued for a quarter of an hour, until there was nothing more to blow up, and after the nightmarish scene was over, the dejected Zai Zhen found that half of the veteran's head lying on his body had been cut off by shrapnel, his brain was mixed with blood, and the hollow skull was like an open mouth, he immediately screamed without hesitation, and hurriedly wanted to get up to shake off this terrifying picture, but found that he couldn't move, The disembowelment of his Western horse, disemboweled, was crushing the veteran.

"Come on, help!" Suddenly, Zaizhen's heart-rending cry resounded on both sides of the Luan River. (To be continued......)
