Out of curiosity, Chen Hao met this middle-aged man, his game name is He Laocai, and he looks very stable. When he saw Chen Hao, He Lao Cai smiled and said, "How is Brother Chen's defense organized?" ”

Chen Hao said confusedly: "Fortifications are being built!" Do you have anything to do with me? ”

He Laocai said with a straight face: "That's the case! We are going to make a deal with Brother Chen, which can guarantee to reduce the pressure on Brother Chen in Yingkou, and I hope that after I say it, whether Brother Chen agrees or not, I will keep it secret. ”

After Zengqi did not divide his troops to occupy Huangniwa Fort and Anpingtun, Chen Hao was confident that he would repel the attack without the help of others, and when he heard the middle-aged man say that he was trading, he said with some curiosity: "What is the trading method?" ”

He Laocai said with a smile: "We can help attack Benxi and force Xuanyuan Sword to retreat, so this battle Brother Chen should be no problem." When the battle is over, Brother Chen will promise to give us Benxi and help us obtain the permission to legally build a factory in Benxi. This is a win-win deal, Brother Chen can get through the crisis, we can also get benefits, I don't know what Brother Chen thinks? ”

Chen Hao instinctively felt that He Laocai was not simple, and couldn't help but be a little curious about He Laocai's identity, so he said lightly: "Where did you attack Benxi?" ”

He Laocai said confidently: "Don't worry about this Brother Chen, we have established a C-level base near Benxi, and we have enough manpower, as long as you promise us that we can attack Benxi to force Xuanyuan Sword to withdraw his army, and drag his army for you."

He Lao is an important figure in the Xie family, a top family, although he considers himself an inferior person in front of Xie Muyun, but he has a sense of superiority in front of the grassroots like Chen Hao. When he said the conditions, He Lao had a sense of superiority, and felt that this kind of good thing like pie falling from the sky Chen Hao would definitely agree.

Chen Hao felt He Laocai's arrogance, even if he didn't want others to help, he could block the Zengqi army, and no matter how bad it was, it could be delayed until the end of the negotiation, so he didn't care about the cooperation He Laocai said. The other party had a wishful thinking and established a base near Benxi to capture Benxi, obviously making them covet Benxi, but they also wanted Chen Hao to owe a favor and let Chen Hao find a way to help them legalize Benxi.

Chen Hao was friendly with Jin Chang, the deputy capital of Shengjing, and after the imperial court put down Zengqi's rebellion, Jin Chang would serve as the new Shengjing general. Based on the friendship between Chen Hao and Jinchang in many joint operations, he suggested to Jinchang that the munitions produced by those factories in Benxi were beneficial to resisting foreigners, and it was better to hand them over to Yiren to operate, and Benxi would definitely be allowed by the imperial court.

This matter is easy for Chen Hao, but difficult for others, if it is a critical situation in Yingkou, he is willing to accept this deal, but now that he is sure to win Zengqi, why should he agree? After patiently waiting for He Lao to finish speaking, Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sure I'll be able to solve this problem myself, so I'm not interested in this unfair cooperation. Don't worry, brother, I can promise not to tell you about your plan to occupy Benxi, and it's your business to act or not. ”

"Unfair?" He Laocai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "We have obtained the base of Benxi, but Brother Chen has also eliminated the threat of Xuanyuan Sword, how can it be unfair?" Zeng Qi and Xuanyuan Jian have a combined army of 50,000 troops, and it is difficult to block it with the strength of Yingkou, although Brother Chen is confident, there is no need to take this risk, right? ”

"Huh! How to resist the Zengqi army is my own business, and it is inconvenient to reveal Brother He. If it's okay, so be it! To be honest, I have already built a base in Yingkou, and I don't have much interest in Benxi, so how about I defeat Zengqi He and discuss the deal again? ”

Chen Hao returned He Laocai's previous words in the same tone, so that He Laocai understood what the problem was, and when he heard that Chen Hao was really not interested in Benxi, he couldn't help but admire Xie Muyun's judgment very much. At the same time, this also gave him an idea, is Chen Baxian uncomfortable with his previous tone, but in fact he needs cooperation very much? Thinking of this, He Lao Cai smiled apologetically: "Brother Chen, it was my tone that was wrong before, and I apologize to you." However, cooperation is indeed beneficial to both parties, and I hope that Brother Chen will think about it, and you can tell me at any time if you think about it. ”

Chen Hao stubbornly shook his head and said, "I've thought about it well, I don't need help to deal with Zengqi's army this time." If Brother He wants to make a deal, wait until I defeat the coalition of Zengqi and Xuanyuan Sword, and then we will talk about what kind of transaction method we have. ”

He Laocai glanced at Chen Hao suspiciously, he wasn't sure if Chen Hao really didn't need help, or if he was a dead duck and wanted to bargain. He Laocai decided not to rush to place a bet, he stayed in the position, and planned to wait until the battle situation was unfavorable to Yingkou before looking for Chen Hao to talk about this issue.

Chen Hao arranged for people to closely monitor the movements of the Zengqi army in Liaoyang Prefecture, and soon the Zengqi army was opened, leaving only 5,000 people to stay in Liaoyang Prefecture. After getting the news, Chen Hao put his heart in his stomach, and Wu Peifu next to him also smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir!" As long as we resist the Zengqi army in Shahe Fort for a day or two, and the people you arrange on the left and right are not stupid, there will be no problem in winning this battle. ”

Chen Hao was in a very good mood, he said with a smile: "I am sure that the people arranged on the left and right roads, they will definitely not make a mistake, there is no problem with the defense of Shahe Fort, right?" ”

Wu Peifu made a joke: "Don't you have confidence in the generals of the unified army on the left and right, but you don't have confidence in me?" My lord, although rest assured, the fortifications of Shahe Fort have been constructed, as long as there are 10,000 people to defend, Zengqi will not want to fight it in three or five days. ”

Chen Hao was completely relieved at this time, he had gathered 9,000 Yingkou troops and 8,000 players in Shahe Fort, and the number had exceeded 10,000. He left 2,000 cavalry in Yingkou, but these 2,000 people were horse bandits contacted by Du Lisan, and they did not belong to the regular army of Yingkou, and now all the forces in Yingkou were gathered in Shahe Fort.

The army led by Shoushan and Xuanyuan Jian left Liaoyang, and after resting for a while at Shoushan Fort, which was not far from Shahe Fort, the army soon came to Shahe Fort. After Zeng Qi took the telescope and observed for a while, his eyes were full of dense fortifications, he handed the telescope to Xuanyuan Jian and said: "Chen Baxian has built so many fortifications in such a short time, all the forces under his command should be gathered here, and it is not easy to attack." ”

Xuanyuan Jian took the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, let your army attack first, and if you can't break through the defense, you will reward the Inhumans to form a death squad." Inhumans will not die, and they are willing to do anything if they have interests, so that they can definitely conquer the position by taking turns to attack. ”

Xuanyuan Jian was going to use this trick one last time, and he planned that if the NPC army attacked on the first day and suffered heavy losses, he would let Zengqi reward the player and the player would be the cannon fodder. As General Shengjing, Zengqi has a lot of reward materials that can be used to tempt players. Divide the 20,000 players into five echelons and take turns to charge, and after the five rounds of rushing, the resurrected players rush over again, and the 20,000 players can be used as 100,000.

At present, most players are still below level 30, as long as they don't do a lot of bad things, they will only drop the level after death, and will not permanently lose attribute points. Xuanyuan Sword can suggest that every player who dies has a generous pension, and there are rewards for taking the position, and players will definitely work hard for rich rewards.

Xuanyuan Jian thought of this when he was still in Liaoyang Prefecture, and since the resurrection point can only be set in cities above the county level, he asked all players to set the resurrection point in Liaoyang Prefecture. Every group of 4,000 people took turns to charge, and after death, they rushed from Liaoyang Prefecture to Shahebao to continue the formation, and there was always a time to break the opposite position.

Chen Hao couldn't learn the trick of Xuanyuan Sword, because he was a player, and it was impossible for him to use material rewards to stab and stimulate his subordinate task players to keep sending them to death like Zengqi. Since this is an internal struggle between players, and it is impossible for players involved in defense to have the consciousness to blow themselves up when resisting the Russians, the players he recruited will definitely not rush back to continue to participate in the defense after hanging up once.

Xuanyuan Sword is counted to death, this is his trump card to quickly take the position, and it is completely unsolvable. The first to attack was the NPC army under Zengqi's command, with eight six-pounder guns lined up at the front of the position, pouring shells towards the position.

After the enemy artillery shells rang out, on the artillery position on Chen Hao's side, Guan Lianhai was directing the artillery to correct and shoot Zhu Yuan. Due to the small number of artillery under his command, even if he got more than a dozen ten-pounder guns after sharing the spoils with Jin Chang, only six of them were operated. As a well-known gunner, Guan Lianhai's mastery of artillery far exceeded that of the NPC army under Zengqi's, and he quickly commanded the cannon to fire.

A round of artillery bombardment commanded by Guan Lianhai accurately landed on the artillery position of Zengqi's army, and the quality of the troops directly under Zengqi was much worse than that of the troops under Jinchang, Shoushan, and Fengxiang. The so-called upward and downward effect, Jin Chang and Shoushan Fengxiang are all staunch main battle factions, and they are very concerned about training the army. Zeng Qi has always been in charge of peace before, and most of his generals are some wine bags and rice bags, so that they can deduct military salaries, drink and gamble, and soak in Qinglou, and they are really not good at fighting.

There was a big problem with the setting of the artillery positions, and the eight six-pounder guns were completely unconcealed, and two of them were quickly destroyed by a round of fire commanded by Guan Lianhai. After the artillery was blown up and killed six people, the remaining artillery quickly shifted their positions, but they no longer dared to open fire, and in terms of artillery, the artillery company under Chen Hao had the upper hand.

Zeng Qi was so angry that he scolded that the artillery could not be counted on, so he had to order his NPC army to forcibly charge. The first wave of 1,000 men braved the artillery fire to rush to the position, the commander was crying and sad, and the soldiers were frightened one by one, slowly advancing towards the position.
