After receiving the telegram, the New Second Regiment immediately stopped camping and rested and went straight to the Eagle Beak Rock, where the three regiments of the Xu Jiajun were on standby on the front line of Xiangu Mountain. Under the order of Xu Bin, who was also waiting for the telegram in the war room, the three regiments of men and horses rushed to Linzhou City not far away. And not far from the defenders of the revolutionary army stationed outside the city, they quickly built fortifications, waiting for the attack launched at dawn.

When the revolutionary army outside the city got up the next morning, they were extremely shocked to find it. Less than a kilometer outside their defensive positions, an encirclement of sandbags had appeared. Knowing this situation, even Chen Mingyang, who had just gotten up in the morning, was shocked, but he couldn't figure it out.

Why didn't the Xu family army, which quietly surrounded them, launch a sneak attack at night? In that case, they would have suffered heavy casualties last night, and they would not have been on guard in broad daylight. Isn't this a clear violation of military common sense?

In fact, Chen Mingyang couldn't figure it out, and even the three regiment commanders who set off with the army couldn't figure it out. It's just that Xu Bin knows very well that forcing the revolutionary army to withdraw from Linzhou this time is the top priority. The previous battle of Xiangu Mountain has made these revolutionary troops understand that the Xu family army is a bone that is difficult to gnaw.

So what he wants to do today is to make the people of the revolutionary army understand that he does not want to be their enemy. But there was only one condition for not being an enemy of them, and that was that the revolutionary army must withdraw from Linzhou City. This Linzhou belongs to his Xu family's army, whether it is the revolutionary army or the Gannan army, no one is allowed to infiltrate the military strength into it. Whoever comes is the enemy of him, this is why Xu Bin surrounded him and did not fight!

In his letter to Chen Mingyang last time, he had clearly proposed to let the other side withdraw his troops, but now it seems that he must put a little pressure on him. Therefore, after the early morning began, Xu Bin asked people to shout to the revolutionary army opposite. Order them to lay down their arms and surrender, otherwise the Xu family army will launch the fiercest attack on them.

After hearing Xu Jiajun's shouting, these revolutionary troops who had been held back for seven days naturally would not succumb to a few shouts. However, as Chen Mingyang, who was standing at the head of the city, saw the other party's encirclement outside the encirclement, he opened up a cannon. The faces of the people standing at the head of the city finally changed greatly.

When the time for shouting was over, Xu Bin saw that the other party ignored it, and directly ordered the artillery battalion to start shelling. The target was not the barracks with a large number of people, but the coordinates of the grain depot of the revolutionary army sent by the soldiers of the guard battalion who had recently been active in and out of the city.

Seeing that the opponent's time was up, he launched an artillery attack without mercy, and Chen Mingyang ordered all units to prepare for anti-artillery shells. When he looked at the cannonballs flying overhead, he accurately hit the location of the warehouse where the grain was stored in the city. I immediately understood that the other party's move was too ruthless, and it was completely going to force them into a desperate situation!

As the shells flew into the city, they hit the grain depot accurately, and after the shelling stopped. Xu Bin continued to arrange for the soldiers, shouting to the revolutionary army whose faces were not too haode, ordering them to lay down their arms and surrender. Otherwise, the next shells will not hit the other side's granaries, but their barracks.

Compared with the artillery strength of Xu Jiajun, the revolutionary army, which currently has only a few mortars, is not strong enough at all. There were a few officers stationed outside the city who couldn't see the arrogance of the Xu Jiajun, and when they led the troops under their command to prepare to attack the encirclement of the Xu Jiajun. The heavy machine gun and mortar, as well as the accurate rifle shooting, finally made these officers and soldiers of the revolutionary army understand that Xu Jiajun still dared to kill!

Just when Chen Mingyang was still hesitating, Xu Bin suddenly took the loudspeaker of the shouting soldier and said: "I am Xu Bin, the division commander of the Xu family, please ask Chen Mingyang, the commander of your third division, to come out for a dialogue." If Master Chen refuses to talk, then don't blame the brothers for going on a killing spree. You and I are both soldiers of Longhua State, and we shouldn't have killed each other.

But your revolutionary army should not come to occupy Linzhou, because this is the territory of my Xu family's army. There are so many places in Gannan, whatever you revolutionary army can liberate, you don't need to worry about this Linzhou capital. If you lay down your arms and surrender now, I will guarantee to escort you out of the country safely.

If you reject my kindness, my rapid-fire artillery battalion will let you know. Human life is still very fragile under shells. I don't think Senior Commander Chen wants to see his brothers bleeding like a river, right? ”

The other party asked him to come out for a conversation by name, how could Chen Mingyang retreat! Soon he boldly went out of the city, came to the front of the two armies and said: "I am Chen Mingyang, are you sure that with your current position, you can force us to surrender?" You know, I still have tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in my hands, and I have so much capital. Why do you want the whole division to surrender to you, it's really not good, I'm going to break through I'm afraid you won't be able to stop it? ”

Chen Mingyang is very confident that as long as he is willing to pay the price to break through, the troops of more than 10,000 people can still fight their way out. However, Xu Bin's answer next made him completely lose his luck. Even the revolutionary officers and soldiers who were following the negotiations between the supreme commanders of the two sides had changed their expressions drastically.

Xu Bin faced Chen Mingyang, who was full of self-confidence, and said with a smile: "It seems that Master Chen really would rather break the jade than seek the whole tile!" Yes, if you people really want to make trouble until the blood is flowing like a river, and fight a way to break through. I'm confident you can do it! However, I would like to ask Senior Commander Chen, do you want to retreat to Ningzhou now?

Do you think that I would not have thought of this when I could have attacked you yesterday and kept the attack until now? ”

Chen Mingyang suddenly said with some puzzlement in his heart: "Please also ask Master Xu to teach!" ”

Xu Bin said very calmly: "Eagle's Beak Rock! ”

As soon as the three words came out, Chen Mingyang, who was marching from there that day, was shocked and said: "You captured Eagle's Beak Rock." No way! If you captured Eagle's Beak Rock, why didn't Ningzhou report to our division? Are you lying to me? ”

Xu Bin continued: "Do I have to do this? To tell you the truth, one of my main regiments has successfully taken the Eagle's Beak Rock last night, and your department has not received the news yet. I'm afraid it's your security regiment in Ningzhou that doesn't pay much attention to it at all, right?

For you now, I'm afraid that this Gannan realm, except for the Gannan army, can compete with you. The other little armies are your opponents! In such a situation where the arrogant army is bound to be defeated, do you think that I can defend against the Eagle's Beak Rock overnight with the main battalion you are stationed there? Joke!

If you think I'm cheating you, Senior Commander Chen can send a telegram now to ask Ningzhou if the Eagle's Beak Rock has been lost. If your people haven't discovered the loss of Eagle's Beak Rock until now, then I really doubt that your military governor in Ningzhou is doing what to eat. Another point, Senior Commander Chen, I'm afraid he didn't tell your subordinates, the food in your city now is less than three days. The shell just now, I'm afraid it blew up a little of your Zuihou stock, right?

Do you think that you are willing to take the defeated army that has not even eaten a full meal, and is chased by our army as a lost dog, and withdraw from Linzhou to be a little more glorious. Or are you willing to accept it and let me send you out of the country? As for you, if you are worried, lay down your arms and surrender to our army, we will do the thing of killing prisoners.

Then don't worry, whether it's the revolutionary army or the Gannan army, as long as you don't offend Linzhou, I will regard them as friends. In short, there is only one reason, whoever moves Linzhou is the enemy of my Xu family's army. Presumably Master Chen knows that I am a bandit mountain king, and you can still grab a place if you finally grab it.

It is the nature of bandits to protect food, and it is strange that you come over and don't say hello, I really underestimate the tens of thousands of brothers of my Xu Jiajun. Today, I will give you another sincerity, if you refuse again, then we will have to meet each other, and the battlefield will be victorious! ”

If the fact that the retreat route was cut off shocked the hearts of the officers and men of these revolutionary armies, then the bombing of military rations was really a time bomb. If you don't even have food to eat, you won't be able to run away! Moreover, it will take about a day to escape from here to Ningzhou, just from the nearest eagle's beak rock.

If only the Eagle's Beak Rock were really occupied. Those who were left to them could only slowly escape from the mountain road or trail to the territory of Ningzhou, and the time would undoubtedly be longer. At that time, in the face of a large number of Xu Jiajun's encirclement and interception, I am afraid that the chance of escaping to Ningzhou is really not much!

After hearing these words, Chen Mingyang was able to judge the punishment, and there was no need for Xu Bin to cheat him at this time. Soon said: "Since Master Xu is so hearted, then you shouldn't care if I go back to Xiangshang to ask for instructions!" ”

In this regard, Xu Bin said very generously: "Yes, I can give you half an hour to think about it." Half an hour, if your army still refuses to lay down their arms and surrender, then don't blame your brothers for blowing this Linzhou city into ruins. ”

When the words fell, Xu Bin handed the horn to the soldiers beside him very chicly, and explained to the soldiers of the Xu family army in the encirclement. Be prepared to deal with the situation of a breakthrough of the revolutionary army at any time, and the artillery units are also prepared to break through from that direction if they find that the other side is breaking through. There is no need to ask for instructions, each artillery battalion can fire on its own where there are many people on the other side!

For those who want to die, Xu Bin doesn't mind fulfilling their wishes! Anyway, he didn't want to kill too many soldiers of the Longhua Kingdom of the same clan and clan, but in order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Xu family's army base area. Sometimes, the necessary act of killing chickens and scaring monkeys is not indispensable!

Sometimes Xu Bin is very suspicious, even he, an outsider, can see the current situation of Longhua Kingdom, why do these warlords who control the hegemony of one side not see clearly or deliberately do not change?
