The officers and men of the Donghu Army originally hoped that the artillery would come and successfully capture the artillery position of the Xu Family's Army, but now it seems that they are really thinking too much, and the strength of the Xu's Army is completely beyond their imagination. This kind of accurate spear and artillery skills are no worse than the elite foreign armies. In a sense, it shows that Xu Jiajun's current strength has far exceeded their expectations.

Seeing that the first division was bombed by its own artillery fire, the soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers could not find the soldiers. It was learned that a large force had arrived, and that a reinforcement corps was already on the ship. The pioneer commander who had been attacked once by this group of Donghu troops felt that it was a bit embarrassing not to attack the other party once.

Therefore, when they saw that the first division was bombed by their artillery, and it was completely disorganized, it could not be effectively formed at all, and the vanguard regiment was bold enough to order the signalmen to blow the trumpet of the charge. Hearing this familiar sound of the charge horn, the grassroots commander who led the team was only stunned for a moment, and immediately said in ecstasy: "Brothers, go out and kill the enemy!" ”

After shouting, he jumped out of the position and counterattacked the officers and soldiers of the 1st Division who were in chaos on the opposite side. The submachine gun team, which had never been fighting in close combat, was undoubtedly the fastest in the regiment. So much so that when they were like sprinkled bullets in front of the officers and soldiers of Donghu who were dodging and fleeing, no one could organize an effective counterattack and defense.

As the troops joined the hunting team, the commander of the first division, which was protected by his own guard company, looked like the troops who had been cut into small pieces and eaten away. In the end, he knew that the general situation was gone, and soon fled to the rear quickly under the protection of the guard company.

Without the commander's lead in counterattacking, some officers and men of the 1st Division who were unwilling to die like this quickly shouted the words 'We surrender'. With these officers and soldiers who surrendered, they really escaped the shooting of the red-eyed Xu Jiajun, and the officers and soldiers of the First Division who were still evading the pursuit just now. Soon they surrendered to the vanguard regiment, which was smaller than them.

Finally, after some counting, the officers and men of the vanguard regiment found with some regret that the commander of the 1st Division of the Donghu Army, who was still there just now, had escaped without a trace at this moment. So much so that they missed the military merit of capturing a general in vain.

However, they were able to open a gap for the follow-up troops with a reinforced regiment, and at the same time crush the elite first division of the Donghu Army. After calculating this combat exploits, it is not a problem for the officers and men of the whole regiment to be promoted by one level. Therefore, after the White Palace Hall and its large troops successfully arrived at the defense area of the vanguard regiment. The officers and men of the Pioneer Regiment began the next round of conquest.

The news of the rout of the First Division spread, and at the same time, the large army of Xu Jiajun officially landed on the shore, and the fortifications arranged along the line naturally became useless. The troops, fearing that they would be cut off from the rear route, quickly fled to the rear. Some realized that the capital of Donghu, Sand City, had fallen. It was only a matter of time and time, and the officers fled to the big city behind Shacheng first.

The Shacheng Governor's Mansion not far from the Xiang River. He Shangdao received a rout of the first division. After the news that the army of the Xu family army successfully crossed the river. When I finally realized the crisis, I began to look uneasy. It's just that compared to the original Gannan Governor Ning Qingyuan's toughness, this Governor He began to think about escaping.

He didn't want to be a prisoner of the Xu family's army, so after the commander of the first division returned to Shacheng, instead of shooting the other party, he did it after some pacification. Temporarily he is the commander of the defense of Sand City. As for himself, he led his family and the governor's guard to Chengde City, another big city in Donghu, to gather troops and fight back.

The commander of the first division who finally picked up a life. It was clear that the reason why the governor did not kill him was that he only felt that he was of some use. As for the so-called Xu Jiajun who went to Chengde City and gathered troops to counterattack the invasion of Donghu, in the eyes of the commander of the first division, it was completely an excuse to find a suitable point for escape.

But at such times, he is not allowed to have a reason to refuse. If he refuses to serve as this city guard, then his next fate will definitely be pulled out and shot. If you don't take the task, you will die, and if you take the task of defending the city, you may still have a way to live, so it is naturally not difficult to guess what choice to make.

As the troops deployed along the river began to return to Shacheng in twos and threes, the commander of the first division knew about it. These Donghu troops who returned to Shacheng were more likely to return because they had their relatives in the city, and they really couldn't give up. As for the troops who had already fled and did not know where to go, they fled to the city behind Shacheng. As for whether Shacheng can be defended, it seems to them that it is almost impossible to hold it, so why should they come here to die?

In the face of the panic and anxiety of the people in the city, the officers and soldiers defending the city were also unstable, and the commander of the first division knew that this sand city could not be defended at all. So what choice will he make after the arrival of Xu Jiajun?

This choice soon came after the arrival of the vanguard regiment in Shacheng, which was approaching all the way, and the pioneer regiment commander admitted that he would spare his life with the officers and soldiers in the city. The commander of the first division obediently opened the city gate with the mentality of all the people and officers and soldiers in the city, breathing a sigh of relief. Let the Xu Jiajun Pioneer Regiment, who was also excited, open the gate of Shacheng, the capital of Donghu.

When the Xu family's army, which was steadily advancing in the follow-up, arrived in Shacheng, what they saw was the city's head, which had been transformed into their own military flag. The officers and men of the Pioneer Regiment are undoubtedly extremely envious of the combat exploits made by the Pioneer Regiment this time. Because they know that taking the capital of Dongfu and the Governor's Palace, they have really made a great military achievement.

Knowing that Shacheng was going down without a fight, Bai Diantang felt that it was only a matter of time before he received Donghu Dao next. Therefore, he began to set up his headquarters in Shacheng, and at the same time sent a report to Xu Bin in Gannan. The battle report of successfully taking Shacheng, the capital of Donghu Road, was sent to Xu Bin as soon as possible.

Compared with the telegram sent by the White Palace, the news of the fall of Shacheng, the capital of Donghu, was also quickly presented to the tables of the surrounding warlords. I learned that in just a few days, Shacheng, which had tens of thousands of elite defenses of the Donghu Army, fell into the hands of the Xu family army so quickly. The Governors and Warlords who were following this war undoubtedly found it a little too unimaginable.

Is Xu Jiajun too strong? Or is the Donghu Army too weak?

In any case, the Xu family army, which took Shacheng, the capital of Donghu Province, after removing the previous regular troops. He also quickly dispatched batches of civil affairs personnel who had undergone special training and training by Xu Jiajun.

What they had to do was to publicize the policies of the Xu Jiajun in the places occupied by the Xu Jiajun. Let the people of Donghu Road enjoy the power that the people of Gannan can enjoy one day earlier. This means that after Xu Jiajun has completely taken over the Donghu Dao, he will not exist at all, and it will take time to stabilize the place. It is completely possible to become the new ruling force with more influence and popular support than the Donghu Army.

The linkage of the military, government, and business departments has naturally achieved very significant results. When He Shangdao, the governor of Donghu, who had fled to Chengde City, began to secretly contact the governors around Gannan, hoping that they would join forces to fight against Gannan. The Xu Jiajun led by Xu Bin began to officially take root in the cities and villages of Donghu Road.

After batches of civil affairs personnel who have received special propaganda training to publicize the policies of the Xu Jiajun to the people in the receiving areas. Whether it is the government or the people, even the rich have begun to accept the fact that there is a change of ruler on their heads. Very actively cooperated with the work of clearing the remnants of the Donghu Army.

This kind of status quo of losing the hearts of the people and the army made He Shangdao, who stayed in Chengde City and received a report every day that the county was captured and that county took the initiative to open the door and surrender. Facing his nephew He Yingqing, who has now become extremely honest, he is also beaten and scolded for two days a day. This made He Yingqing, who was originally a little grateful to He Shangdao.

In the end, he was confused by his henchman, that is, to get rid of He Shangdao and take over the remnants of He Shangdao's Donghu military and political Shili. After all, a big reason why He Shangdao doted on He Yingqing was that he wanted to train him to become the successor of the He family and Donghu Dao.

In this way, He Yingqing, who was unwilling to fail and was unwilling to be beaten and scolded every day, finally made him kill his uncle on the road of no return. Taking advantage of the fact that he still had some old feelings in front of this uncle, he led the henchman who gave him a great idea, and a group of henchmen who were bribed by him with money.

He broke up his uncle's guard and killed him in the provisional governor of Chengde City. At the same time, after learning of Jihua's complete success, he followed the advice of the confidant and immediately asked the other military and political governors of the Donghu provinces who still retained their strength to swear loyalty to him in order to complete the actual assumption of the position of governor of Donghu Province.

I don't know if this telegram invisibly sent him to the point of no return, and at the same time made some military and political chiefs who were originally loyal to He Shangdao. After learning that the old governor had been killed by his own nephew, he completely broke off the idea of such a disloyal and unfilial successor governor to die for his life. After realizing that Xu Jiajun's takeover of Donghu was a foregone conclusion, he took the initiative to announce that he would join Xu Jiajun's command.

He Yingqing, who became a traitor to his relatives, realized how wrong he was by killing his uncle in the end, who wanted to become the governor of Donghu. Without the care of this uncle, even if it was a small county order, it would not have killed him.

As for the Provisional Governor's Palace, where he lived, apart from the few henchmen who had been bribed with money, the confidants and staff officers who had given him many ideas had completely disappeared after he sent that telegram. Only then did he realize how sinister this henchman was, and it pushed him step by step to a place of no return.

In the end, when the Xu family soldiers approached the city of Chengde, He Yingqing, who was still counting on the officers and soldiers in the city to fight against foreign enemies, was directly shot by the officers and soldiers in the city and sent to beg outside the city. With the death of He Yingqing, Donghu Dao completely changed from the leader of the He department to the leader of the Xu department. The Xu Jiajun troops who entered Donghu Road finally took over all the military and political power of Donghu Road.

As for the protests of other warlords shouting that Xu Jiajun ignored the law and order, Xu Bin completely ignored them. What he is planning now is Qianhu Road next to Donghu Road and Gannan Road! Only by taking the land of the three realms can he and Xu Jiajun have the confidence to compete for the hegemony of the world. This matter is no matter what, and it will not change!
