Just when Huang Ke and Lu Rongting were drinking in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, the secret detachment led by Jiang Xianyun had already arrived at the Gui Army garrison in Wuzhou.

The 20,000-strong troops of the Gui Army were stationed in Wuzhou, and the front line was full of moving troops, and it was normal for them not to know each other. So when Jiang Xianyun appeared in Wuzhou with a group of people to change into the uniforms of the Gui Army, he didn't attract much attention along the way.

"Stop trimming!" When entering the hinterland of the Gui army, Jiang Xianyun waved his hand to signal everyone to stop advancing and repair in place.

The troops temporarily stopped for repairs, Jiang Xianyun and several officers opened the map and began to plan the way forward, although it was the advance team, but the military map they used was also an old military map, not only the location was not clearly marked, but also often there were location errors, looking for a long time to not match the number, after a few words of scolding, a few people simply abandoned the military map.

Jiang Xianyun half-knelt on the ground, and he said to Lin Zuoda, Hu Zongnan, and Xu Shaozhou around him: "There is nothing to hope for in this broken map, it seems that we still have to rely on ourselves; At present, there are still more than two hours before the time of the general attack, and we must find the enemy's headquarters before then, and if we can't do it, we must disrupt the enemy. ”

The officers below looked at each other, none of them having any opinion.

"But the shelling is at the time of the general offensive, and if we haven't evacuated to a safe place by then, will we?" Fu Guoqiang, who was sitting next to him, offered a different opinion.

"If you're scared, go back now; Brother Gongzi doesn't have to suffer with us. A student said coldly to Fu Guoqiang.

Fu Guoqiang wanted to refute, but was stopped by Jiang Xianyun: "When is it, do you still have the heart to fight here?" Have you all forgotten about the unity of the revolutionary ranks? ”

The student stopped talking, and Fu Guoqiang stopped talking, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This young man from a famous family is only nineteen years old this year, and his rich life in his early years made him a little uncomfortable with such a hard march, and his feet were blistered after running for several days and nights, plus he was originally a little hypocritical, which also made some soldiers in the team very unkind to him.

Jiang Xianyun has been taking care of him like a big brother, and when he was resting, he deliberately walked to Fu Guoqiang and handed him a piece of beef jerky.

"Eat, you are so thin, you will definitely not be able to bear it after a long march, eat some to replenish your physical strength, the army fights like this, just get used to it."

Fu Guoqiang took the beef jerky, tore some open and put it in his mouth, and then took a sip of water and sent it in; Jiang Xianyun patted him on the shoulder: "Save some physical strength, we still have a big battle to fight at night, no one can do everything at the beginning, learn slowly, you will learn one day." ”

These comforting words made Fu Guoqiang feel a warmth in his heart, since he applied for the Xiguan Military Academy with enthusiasm, he has encountered many unimaginable difficulties; Saving the country and the people is not so simple, sometimes Fu Guoqiang even regrets his choice, but it is just a momentary thought, and in the blink of an eye, he is overwhelmed by busy training and study.

After more than ten minutes of repair, the team continued to move forward after replenishing dry food, and after marching for more than half an hour, when it was approaching the headquarters of the Gui army, a group of urgently mobilized Gui army troops drove from the front.

Looking at this Gui army unit, all the officers and soldiers became nervous, and some of them raised their guns and prepared to aim; "Put all the guns away, and everybody move on."

The team continued to advance in the original formation, and the fast-moving Gui troops quickly took their heads.

"Which part?" An officer on horseback asked, waving his whip, with some grumbling in his tone.

"The XX Division Guards are now going to the command headquarters on a mission. Which part of you are there? Jiang Xianyun replied in fluent Guangxi dialect.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is going to the front line, but you are retreating back, the people in the headquarters are expensive, and our lives are not worth anything? Get out of the way, don't get in the way! ”

Hearing the officer scolding, several Guangxi trainees in the advance team glanced at each other, and when they came out, they also scolded the officer in their hometown dialect.

"Who are you scolding?" "That's it, where are we going to be transferred from above? How old are you? "......" Shut up, what do you look like scolding?" Jiang Xianyun pretended to be angry and stopped them, and then sulked and said, "Brother, they are all in the same team, why are they talking so ugly?" You have a mission, and we have it, whose life is not valuable? You go to the left and I go to the right, so that no one will delay anyone's business. ”

"You still say you don't want to run for your life? The headquarters is in the north, and you just take a detour to the west, not to delay time, but what are you trying to do? I don't have time to compete with you. The officer didn't want to make trouble at this juncture, so he found a staircase and came down, and after swearing in his mouth, he drove forward with the team.

After escaping this scene, the advance party accidentally obtained the address of the headquarters, and the group immediately turned north and rushed over, hoping that time would pass slowly, so that they could arrive faster.

Time seemed to stop on Huang Ke's side, every minute and second passed so slowly; Huang Ke sat in the command post, thinking carefully about the topographic map in front of him, a cup of West Lake Longjing on the table was already cold, but his mood could not be as calm as this glass of water.

Every mountain and river on the map seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and his mood was extremely nervous at this time.

The big war is imminent, and Huang Ke has no bottom in his heart about such a big war, although it has been arranged very tightly. At present, the Third Route Army is ready, and all the artillery units of a battalion have entered the position, waiting for him is only an order issued, as long as he gives an order, there will be a battle at the junction of the two Guangzhou.

Fighting is inevitable and impossible to avoid, the question is how to make this fight more meaningful?

Huang Ke began to think about the possible course of action of the Gui army, he also considered the possible tricks of landing Lu Rongting, he thought of himself as Lu Rongting, if he was how to deploy, there is no doubt that attack is the best defense, the generals in the Gui army are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they all know this truth, now the Gui army must be spreading to his two wings, forming a situation of encirclement of him.

Although he already understood the possible actions of the Gui army, Huang Ke was unwilling to send troops to stop it; He knew that the dispatch of the Gui army was both a danger and an opportunity. Now it depends on who is faster, if he can successfully divide the Gui army's headquarters, then Lu Rongting will definitely be defeated; If you can't......

"Commander, there is a situation!" While he was thinking, Wang Mao suddenly broke in.

Huang Ke looked up at him: "What's the situation?" So flustered, said. ”

After Wang Mao realized that he was a little out of shape, he took two steps back, and he said in a slightly soothing tone: "I have detected the movement of the Gui army; An hour earlier, a detachment of Gui's troops, numbering about 3,000 men, had begun to advance in a roundabout way towards our rear, and I suppose they were trying to outflank us from behind. ”

Huang Ke's spirits were lifted, and the previous fatigue was swept away: "I have long expected it, where is Lu Rongting, an old boy, so easy to comply?" He must have started deploying as soon as I delivered the letter; Notify the troops along the line to attack them, and this remnant army also wants to turn the sky upside down? Which way did they go? ”

"Judging from the reconnaissance, they took the road to the north and the plains in a hurry." Wang Maocai used the map to point to the location of Gui's army's actions.

Huang Ke looked at the map and found that the eastern part of the Wuzhou region borders Guangzhou, and although it is also mountainous overall, it has been much smoother than the western part.

"Go, call Batu over, his cavalry team should come in handy, let the cavalry team of several hundred people pounce on him, and he must drag this support army down."

"Yes!" Wang Maocai leaned on his heels and walked out. Ten minutes later, the Mongolian man Batu appeared in front of the cavalry with a black war knife; He was on a horse, with a short Mosiner gan rifle on his back, and the black steed under his crotch exhaled from his nostrils.

"Brothers!" Batu pulled out the jet-black cavalry sword, "It's time for our cavalry to show, give Lao Tzu some spirit!" Draw your swords and show the guys running on the ground what a true warrior is! ”

"For the glory of the cavalry!" Whoa! The sound of the unsheathed swords rang one after another, and the sound of spurs and knives sounded in the cavalry ranks, and the proud cavalry was already boiling with blood, and with a loud whip from Batu, all the cavalry raised their whips and rushed forward.

After running all the way, the cavalry caught up with the Gui army, which was moving forward, this force was composed of light infantry, and the speed of rapid marching could be more than a hundred miles a day, but compared to the cavalry, the foot strength was dwarfed.

The cavalry struck laterally and smashed it like a fist, and the flat terrain did not have the slightest cover for it, and the cavalry quickly exchanged fire with the advancing Gui army; The light infantry of the Gui army was originally lined up in a long formation of rapid marches, and after an attack, the team hurriedly began to gather the defense, but before they could close the defensive circle, the opponent's bullets came over, and when all the troops began to form a defensive circle, they did not expect Batu to be in love with war, and after a small battle, they began to rush to attack the two wings of the Gui army.

Hundreds of cavalrymen fired rapidly with rifles, and immediately withdrew after taking advantage of them, without the slightest remorse, and the crisp sound of rifles and chirping horses resounded everywhere on the plain.

"Damn, when did this bastard Huang Ke form so many cavalry? The troops accelerated their advance, and when they reached the mountainous area, these cavalry were our appetizers, and Lao Tzu could crush them with one regiment! ”

After a few contacts, he ordered the troops to line up in two columns to advance, and not to fight with the cavalry, and directly harassed the rear of the revolutionary new army.

But where did Batu let him go easily, he knew that he could no longer attack at will, and for the honor of the cavalry, they must do their best to stop this Gui army.
