Lu Yongxiang led the main force of the Yizhou Army into Yuanzhuang, strictly blocked the news, and took measures to allow the local people to enter and not to leave, so as to prevent leakage of news. Choose the terrain to build field fortifications, just waiting for the Mengshan army to fall into the net.

The reason why Yuanzhuang was chosen is because this village is in the only place to go from Zhengjiazhuang to Pingyi. If the whole army of Mengshan Army withdraws from Zhengjiazhuang, it will inevitably take the burden of family members, and it is impossible to cross the mountains and mountains.

Lu Yongxiang arrived in Yuanzhuang on 27 February. For blocking this gang of ringing horse forces that gave Yuan Shikai an incomparably headache and made Wang Shizhen attach great importance to it, Lu Yongxiang had the confidence to win. Well, even if they are well-trained, well-disciplined, and dare to fight hand-to-hand combat with bayonets with officers and soldiers, with favorable terrain and more than a thousand rifles, they have absolute certainty of fighting a blocking battle. Not to mention that there are only more than 1,000 bandits, even if it doubles again, Lu Yongxiang is confident that it will be difficult to stop the enemy in front of Yuanzhuang.

The rest is Lord Wang Pingqing's business. Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the bandits risk to hit Fei County. In that case, he must follow the pre-planned plan, leave Yuanzhuang to cut off the enemy's rear route, and trap the enemy under the city of Philadelphia.

But this possibility is almost unlikely. If that happens, it will be that there are bandits among the people who participated in the Yizhou military conference. Is this possible? It's just kidding!

On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chief Officer Situ Jun, who was said to have studied military affairs in Germany, rushed from Yizhou with a letter from Wang Shizhen to inform him of the latest news. The thief army was still in the encirclement, and the main force appeared in the area of Zhaojialou in the southwest of Zhengjiazhuang, and there was a fierce battle with Feng Guozhang's troops.

This is good news, Lu Yongxiang is getting more and more relaxed. I was even a little worried that I would not be able to make an inch. According to Lord Wang's letter, Lord Feng's troops stuck to the thief army and pressed Zhengjiazhuang from the south, while Cao Kun's department forced over from the west, with a total of more than 2,500 officers and troops in the two forces, as well as six cannons of seven and a half calibers, it was entirely possible to gather and annihilate the thief army. If the thief army retreated back to Zhengjiazhuang's lair, Wang Shizhen considered transferring the main force of the Yizhou army to reinforce from the east. But Lu Yongxiang believes that a dirt fence can't stop Cao Kun's cannon at all. Before he could go up, the battle would have been over long ago.

"It's not that simple." Situ Jun shook his head, "Based on my intuition, the enemy's resistance to Feng Guozhang's troops is a bit unconventional, and they will not retreat into Zhengjiazhuang and wait for death." Lord Lu, haven't you seen it yet? The enemy is far better informed than we are. Do not think that our army has an absolute superiority in the total strength of its troops, because our army is divided into three places, and each of them does not necessarily have an advantage against the enemy alone. Situ Jun shook his head, "The biggest problem is the backwardness of intelligence, until now, the enemy's troops, equipment, and commander's resume are very vague, and they are all Li Chun's words as a defeated general." After two battles, it was incredible that not even a single prisoner was caught. Although Situ Jun and Lu Yongxiang got along for a short time, they cooperated happily with each other when they were refining the battle plan in Yizhou under the auspices of Wang Shizhen, so Situ Jun said the above words.

"What do you think should be done for now?" Lu Yongxiang asked.

"I'm worried that if the enemy finds out the overall deployment of our army, they will avoid the real and attack the false, and go straight to Fei County, and our army will be passive."

"I don't think thieves are that shrewd. A gang of bandits, have they really become elites? You're overestimating them. I think that they are most likely to rely on Zhengjiazhuang to fight our army. The first two times, they didn't even allow Li Xiushan to get close to the old nest. ”

Situ Jun didn't answer, and pondered on the map.

At dinner, there was another urgent military situation from Fei County, Lu Yongxiang checked the secret letter sealed by fire paint, and tore open the seal, "My God, the thief army actually aimed at Cao Zhongshan!" Fortunately, Lord Feng has occupied Zhengjiazhuang and exterminated the old nest of Dog Day, and now he has transferred his troops to the west and sent reinforcements. ”

"Dangerous, the enemy is likely to surround the point and send reinforcements, aiming at Feng Guozhang all the way!" Situ Jun threw himself in front of the map and measured the distance with his fingers.

"Encirclement, reinforcements?" Lu Yongxiang shook his head, "How many of them are there?" When pigs fly! You see, the distance between the two forces of our army is only thirty miles, and there is no force far beyond the strength of the official army, where can we encircle and send reinforcements! Besides, a few bandits, what do you know about encircling points to send reinforcements? ”

"It's remarkable that they dared to give up Zhengjiazhuang. In this way, they will be much more active," Situ Jun muttered, "However, you are right, the terrain in that area is not suitable for ambushes. So, what was their idea of withdrawing from Zhengjiazhuang? ”

Topaz is one of the few people who "became" a doctor, she completed two operations independently, took out the bullet in the wounded body, stitched up the wound, and handed over the rest to the assistant, "Next," her hands were covered with blood, and she couldn't wipe the sweat beads from the corners of her forehead, and the assistant Chen Shu wiped the sweat for her with a handkerchief.

Topaz has become accustomed to blood, wailing, and death__

The third person who was carried onto the operating table she recognized at a glance was the horse face she used to hate. The guy who was beaten by Long Qian for attempting to rape her was now a platoon commander, covered in blood, and the soldier who carried him up said hurriedly, "Left leg__"

"I saw it. Hold him down, don't let him move__" Topaz picked up the scissors and cut open the cotton trousers of the horse's face.

"Topaz, if the injury is too serious, give me a good time, I don't want to live the rest of my life__" Ma Mian gritted his teeth.

"It's a man, just grit your teeth and hold back, don't be like a girl!" Three candles illuminated the wound in the leg, the knee was shattered, presumably still embedded in the bullet.

When the tweezers reached into the wound, the horse's face let out a beastly howl.

"Gagged him with a towel!" Topaz drank the order.

Without anesthetic, the operation became a torture, although Commander Long, Dr. Zheng, and Dr. Cheng thought of a lot of ways and tried a lot of herbal medicines, but they still couldn't solve the problem of pain relief. War wounds have to be operated on, which is cruel.

By the time he found the bullet embedded in the leg bone and treated the wound, he had passed out.

"I'm afraid I can't stand up__" Chen Shu brought a basin of water and asked Huang Yu to wash his hands.

"That's better than dying. Next, "The pretty topaz has a blank face.

After seven surgeries in a row, the light of day has already brightened. Song Jinguo came in, "Hurry up and pack your things, you're about to leave." ”

"Uncle Song, where are we going?" Chen Shu asked.

"Don't ask, just follow along." Song Jinguo, who was unshaven, looked tired, "Later, Xiao Huang, you want to sleep, I will be busy tonight." ”

"I know that Topaz is almost too sleepy to stand.

Yuanzhuang. Lu Yongxiang and Situ were still analyzing the battle situation, and a personal soldier broke in, "Lord Qiyu, Fei County is urgent." Before the words fell, a man in officer attire broke into the room, and Lu Yongxiang and Situ both immediately recognized this person as a trusted officer beside Wang Shizhen.

"What's going on?" Lu Yongxiang asked sharply.

"My lord, the thief army broke through the blockade of our army at night, and has reached the city of Fei County, and the city is in danger, please return to the army immediately to rescue Fei County!" The man came and knelt down on one knee, "This is a letter from Lord Wang." ”

Tearing open the seal, Lu Yongxiang read ten lines at a glance, Situ Jun also leaned over to look, and saw that the handwriting was messy, which showed that the situation was critical, which made Wang Shizhen, who had always been calm and elegant, also panicked.

Wang Shizhen's letter could not provide more information, he only said that the thief army suddenly appeared in Xiguan in Fei County, they were carrying cannons, the Xiguan city tower had been bombarded, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. Under the city of Philadelphia, there is no doubt that it is the main force of the bandit army, and the stakes are very high, so he ordered Lu Yongxiang to immediately lead troops back to help.

"How many thieves are there?" Lu Yongxiang stared at the comer, "Which gate did you go out of the city from?" ”

"Back to Lord Lu's words, I don't know how many thieves there are. I came out of the city from the East Gate, which was quite quiet. ”

"Fuck, how do they get ahead of the curve? What a hell of a life! Lu Yongxiang scolded, "Cannon? Where did they get the cannons from? ”

"Li Chun lost six three-life and seven-fast cannons to others!" Situ Jun, who was pondering the map, came out with a sentence.

"Assemble now." Lu Yongxiang ordered.

"What are you going to do?" Situ Jun raised his head.

"What can I do? Hurry up and save Fei County. There is only one battalion in the hands of Lord Wang! Those patrol battalions can't be counted on at all! ”

"You can't just come back! The enemy is very clever, simply too clever. I can guarantee that the purpose of attacking Fei County is to mobilize us, and they will definitely set up an ambush on our way back to the army! Another attacker will be saved! Everything that was fought in this battle can be written into the textbook__"

Lu Yongxiang was stunned for a moment, "I wondered, how many thieves are there?" The east and west lines are so far apart, do they have wings? Where are their main forces? Is Feng Guozhang talking nonsense or Cao Kun talking nonsense? ”

"None of them are talking nonsense__"

"You mean Lord Wang is talking nonsense? I saw with my own eyes that the castle tower had been destroyed! Master Lu, hurry up, saving soldiers is like fighting fire. The officer who sent the letter stared at Situ Jun and wanted to step forward and slap him a few times.

"I didn't say that Lord Wang was talking nonsense," Situ Jun said calmly, pointing to the map, "this is a real elite army, extremely athletic!" They first attacked Cao Kun's troops at Kuangtouji, and perhaps because of the unfavorable situation of the war, they quickly withdrew their troops and marched eastward, one ambushing on the way back to our reinforcements, and the other threatening Fei County with artillery. Well, maybe they figured out the deployment of our army's troops at the beginning, knowing that our army's strength on the east road of the road was weaker, well, if they defeated Cao Kun, they would inevitably face Feng Guozhang's reinforcements, and they were not sure that they would defeat six or seven battalions of officers and troops__ and solve the eastern front, and this battle would be undefeated__"

"Don't be verbose, what should I do?" Lu Yongxiang asked anxiously.

"Lord Lu, the enemy army attacking Fei County may not have more troops than the defenders, but it is just a bluff! Let's not move, we'll wait until dawn. ”

"Nonsense, Fei County is in danger, what are you waiting for dawn?" The officer who sent the letter was worried about Wang Shizhen's safety and couldn't help but reprimand loudly.

"Lord Lu, our army must not be the opponent of the enemy army in the night battle, you still can't see it? Can our army move east and west so quickly? Absolutely not moving. Leaving the Yuanzhuang position, our army is more auspicious! ”

"Lord Lu, Lord Wang is in danger, and he is looking forward to your reinforcements. Don't listen to the ill-intentioned advice of outsiders! Hurry up and give the order! ”

Lu Yongxiang was shocked, "Order!" Back to Junfei County! He remembered his friendship with Wang Shizhen and no longer paid attention to Situ Jun's advice.
