Zaitao was a little moved by Lord Zhang's Gao Feng Liangjie: "Don't worry, the logistics have not yet arrived, those cannons are very clumsy to move, I sent the most powerful people under my command to help me watch it, there will be no difference, you can rest at ease." ”

Zhang Zhidong was relieved when he heard Zaitao say this. Zaitao had analyzed the advantages of the Volunteers very clearly before the war, that is, he was definitely not Yang Xiaolin's opponent in short-handed combat, so he decided to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use the blank of the Volunteers in the artillery, and use fierce artillery fire to try to hit the opponent to the greatest extent before the two sides came into contact.

Belle brought more than 1,500 artillery pieces this time, including more than 400 heavy artillery, and his concept was to blow up the whole of Fushun before attacking. Therefore, of course, he would not allow any mistakes in his artillery team, and he sent the most effective cadre Zhang Dewu to escort the artillery team for him to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Tie Liang said at this time: "Zaitao, do you want the sergeants to fight a battle to explore the reality of the other party?" ”

Zaitao shook his head: "No! Without heavy artillery, Fushun could not be defeated at all, and morale would be bruised. ”

Tie Hao wanted to say something more, but Zaitao waved his hand: "My Minister of War, you just take care of Lord Zhang." Didn't you always wonder how I could defeat the Russians? This time, I'll show you both of them. ”

Tie Liang smiled, and finally didn't say anything more. Zaitao's eyes looked at the Fushun city wall not far away, and he snorted coldly: "Yang fights ghosts, I have long wanted to clean him up!" In the past, he was just let live to see that he was still a character, but I didn't expect him to dare to do such a thing? This time I'm going to crush him to ashes! Come. Check out and see if he's in town! ”

From the forefront of Zaitao's position, you can see the heads of the volunteers outside Fushun City moving on the defensive line, and it is obvious that the volunteers are preparing to resist his attack. Zaitao didn't immediately move to disrupt the layout of the Volunteers, and when he saw that the banner of the Liaodong Detachment of the Volunteers was flying at the head of the city, he estimated in his heart that Yang Xiaolin was in the city!

Wait for your own artillery to come tomorrow, let's give this guy a wild bombardment first! After Zaitao arranged the camps, he also went back to rest. Before the big war, he had to recharge his batteries.

Yang Xiaolin was actually looking at Zaitao at the head of the city, this kid's camp was really well arranged. No matter which camp he attacks, he will be attacked by the Qing army. It's a pity, if Zaitao knew that his camps were all useless in his eyes. I don't know how I feel.

The night is slowly approaching, and both sides are waiting for the dawn.

Zaitao waited for all the Qing troops to be in place after dawn, and then the artillery was in place, so he could bombard Yang Xiaolin.

Yang Xiaolin is also waiting for artillery, Zaitao's artillery.

"General Zhang, if you go twenty miles further, you will reach the artillery position designated by Lord Belle. Let the sergeants work harder and try to arrive this evening. Zhao Erxun said on his horse.

Zhang Dewu looked at the more than 1,000 artillery pieces around him, and the healthy horse began to breathe, and immediately said, "Let's rest for a while." When the war is fought tomorrow, the brothers will have to work hard, and it is important to preserve their strength. ”

Zhao Erxun's brows furrowed, but Zhang Dewu didn't care what he thought, and directly turned around and gave an order: "Rest in place!" The troops sent out the guard! ”

This order was really very popular, and the whole army immediately let out a cheerful cry. The inviters lay on the ground on the spot.

The Qing artillerymen who pushed the artillery forward were really very hard, and their clothes were all soaked in sweat in the cold weather, even Zhang Dewu himself was very tired. He is also responsible for pushing the cannon, which is the merit of his person. It stands to reason that he has not been in Liaodong for a long time, but he has been promoted very quickly. On the one hand, it is because of the special relationship between him and Zaitao, and on the other hand, Zhang Dewu is really capable. …,

He always shared weal and woe with the officers and men in the army. Deeply loved by the soldiers. At the same time, most of his salary is used to invite colleagues to eat and drink, so this person's current status in the Qing army has surpassed that of Zhao Erxun on horseback now, second only to Zaitao.

Zhao Erxun's heart was slightly unhappy: "General Zhang, it's just a cut away, can't you rest when you arrive?" You know, Lord Belle is waiting for your artillery! ”

Zhang Dewu smiled and said: "Lord Zhao, don't worry, Lord Belle Jihua will attack tomorrow, and we will catch up." Let the soldiers eat a little and rest for a while, and then you can't stand this horse anymore, let's wait until the night to set off, and the distance of thirty miles will definitely be there tomorrow morning. ”

Zhao Erxun was stunned for a moment: "Thirty miles? General Zhang, you didn't miscalculate, right? According to the location designated by Lord Belle, it is only less than twenty miles! ”

Zhang Dewu slapped his mouth: "I just don't control the wind and tell the secrets of Lord Belle." ”

After he finished speaking, he leaned his head in front of Zhao Erxun: "Lord Zhao, you also know that Lord Belle is counting on our artillery, so he is deeply afraid that Yang Xiaolin will pay attention to us, and the position he said at the military meeting last time is fake, in order to prevent there are spies among those people." ”

Zhao Erxun was a little suspicious when he heard this, but Zhang Dewu smashed him with his arm: "Don't say it, I can trust you Lord Zhao!" Lord Belle originally asked me to bring the artillery team to the place. ”

Zhao Erxun shook his head, he still couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have any doubts about Zhang Dewu. Although the rise of Zhang Dewu has threatened his position beside Zaitao during this period of time, because of this, he vaguely believed Zhang Dewu's words.

The artillery of the Qing army rested for two hours and then continued on the road. The moon was not very good tonight, but I could barely see it clearly, the temperature at night reached more than minus 20 degrees, and because of the cold weather, the black soil was frozen very strongly, and the artillery team marched much faster than during the day.

At three o'clock in the morning, the road of more than 20 miles was completed, and Zhao Erxun found that not only the location was different from what Zaitao said, but also the route of the march had changed slightly. At this time, he couldn't help but ask in his heart: "General Zhang, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" ”

Zhang Dewu gasped a few times: "No!" Lord Zhao was relieved and walked ahead for more than an hour. I guess we'll be able to see the troops picking us up. ”

Zhao Erxun originally wanted to ask something, but after hearing Zhang Dewu say that there would be more than an hour to arrive, he didn't doubt it anymore.

Zhang Dewu's eyes began to look into the surrounding dark mountains and forests from time to time, but Zaitao did not let him change the route of the march at all, let alone change the assembly place of the artillery team. There was only one reason why he brought this unit to the front, and he was a revolutionary.

When Zhang Dewu came, he told Zaitao that he was an alternate magistrate of Bapin. has not been promoted, and he did not deceive Zaitao. But what Zaitao didn't know was that Zhang Dewu didn't have the opportunity to be an official. It was he who didn't want to be an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

What Zaitao doesn't know is that although Zhang Dewu is very poor, he is not unable to open the pot. Because he is good friends with Young Master Fang Shengdong, Young Master Fang has been helping Zhang Dewu's life.

Go a little further, it is the place where he and Yang Xiaolin have made an appointment, the corners of Zhang Dewu's mouth can't help but show a smile, Zaitao is really good to be a friend, but it's a pity, who made him the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

When the war started tomorrow morning, Zaitao suddenly found that his killer weapon had actually become Yang's strong point in fighting ghosts, and the cannonballs he pulled from Mukden to fight others actually fell on his own head. Zaitao will definitely be thunderous.

Zhang Dewu could think of Zaitao's angry look, and he actually felt a little guilty in his heart, no matter what, I hope Zaitao can survive the fire. …,

His mind turned, and at this moment, the team in front of him suddenly reported: "General! A team was spotted in front of us moving towards us. It was too dark to see which team it was. ”

Zhang Dewu's heart was inexplicably nervous, when Er Wuzai is like this, the more he wants to succeed, the more careful he must be, once the other party finds a flaw now, then his life may be in danger.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Erxun on the side: "Lord Zhao." It should be Lord Baylor's people, you are here watching the troops, and I will go to the front to take a look. ”

Zhao Erxun said, "No, let's go to the front and have a look." ”

Zhao Erxun already felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, and he didn't know that Weishenme himself was going with Zhang Dewu, but now he just wanted to look at Zhang Dewu.

Zhang Dewu smiled: "Hehe, okay, let's go together." ”

The two of them walked side by side to the front, and in the dark night, they vaguely saw that there was really a group of figures in front of them, and they couldn't see how many there were.

Zhang Dewu stood still in front of the head of his team and shouted forward: "You are the brothers of that team?" ”

A voice in front of us replied, "We are the third target, but may I ask the brothers of the artillery team?" ”

Zhang Dewu replied: "Exactly, let you come and speak." ”

Several figures in front of him immediately walked over to this side, Zhang Dewu let out a long breath, turned his head and said to Zhao Erxun: "Fortunately, nothing went wrong, Lord Zhao should rest assured now, right?" ”

Seeing that there were only a dozen people from the other party coming first, Zhao Erxun's heart finally relaxed: "It's so good." General Zhang, shall we go to see Lord Belle now, or will we wait until tomorrow morning? ”

Zhang Dewu smiled very happily: "Well, I'm afraid we can't be the master, look at what those people say." ”

His hand pointed to the black shadows that were walking towards him, Zhao Erxun didn't react to what this sentence meant, Zhang Dewu turned to a group of Qing soldiers behind him and said, "All brothers, listen, line up!" ”

More than 100 Qing soldiers were busy standing in a line, and Zhang Dewu continued to shout: "Get shot!" ”

At this time, the Qing soldiers were also stunned, they could understand the formation, but what were they doing with the guns? But in Zaitao's army, Zaitao and Zhang Dewu also asked for a ban on it, and since Zhang Dewu gave the order, even if the soldiers didn't understand, they put the rifles in their hands on the ground.

"Zhang Dewu! What are you doing! ”

Zhao Erxun roared angrily, and reached out to pull out the pistol that Zaitao gave him from his waist. But his action of drawing the gun was obviously too slow, and a black shadow on the opposite side pounced extremely quickly, grabbed Zhao Erxun's clothes, and dragged him off the horse!

Zhao Erxun fell to the ground and fainted for a while, and the gun in his hand was also taken down. When he came back to his senses, the black shadow was squatting in front of him, and Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Zhao, I will definitely arrange for you to see Zaitao as soon as possible."
