Zhenjiang Wharf, the system suddenly teleported Wang Feng here, and it took a hazy time before I knew what I was going to do?

It turned out that the system was for him to organize an army here and attract the attention of Yuan Shiren's father and son. A series of things that Wang Feng did in Hanjiang City really attracted the attention of Yuan Shiren's father and son, and Wang Feng knew that it was time to leave.

Now, they're back.

"Coming? Here it comes! ”

The crowd gathered at the dock erupted in a loud cheer.

Two gunboats, emitting black smoke, drove majestically at the front, plowing the river. The back was originally used as a patrol ship for the Minister of the Navy, and Wang Feng's general flag was hung on it.

Behind them were the transport ships, and the brigade of wooden boats towed by the steamers, and the Iron and Blood Army finally sailed to Zhenjiang on November 25.

The ship slowly approached the pier, and the soldiers of the Iron Army, wearing five-colored military hats, neat yellow tweed uniforms, and leather boots, lined up and disembarked in a line.

In the envious eyes of the soldiers of the town army who greeted them, these soldiers from the Han River were well nourished and well-equipped, and the bullet bags on their chests were full.

Mules and horses were driven out of the cabin and carefully stepped off the gangplank, the Makqin heavy machine guns carried by these animals, wrapped in dark green gun jackets, showing off to the town soldiers.

Wang Feng's boat also approached the dock, where Lin Yanjun and Tao Zhengzhang were already waiting for him.

Next to him stood a young man with a command knife, his knee-high riding boots, listening to the loud commands of the officers of the Iron and Blood Army on the docks, busy assembling the team.

Lin Yanjun smiled bitterly at Tao Zhengzhang and said: "This Commander Wang took a trip to the Han River, and immediately became wealthy, and he knew that we would also go on this trip." Now that people are strong and we are weak, it really doesn't taste good to think about. ”

Tao Zhengzhang replied coldly: "Everyone has their own fate, we can do our duty, and soon the Jiangnan detachment will also come over, and our three armies gathered together can all be supplemented by Commander Wang." ”

As he was talking, Wang Feng had already pulled Wu Wencai and strode off the springboard, and the three of them suddenly cheered up and looked at this young governor who is now famous all over the country.

He was a little thicker than when he left Zhenjiang, his face was a little less bookish, he had a faint beard on his lips, his military uniform was straight and a military coat was draped, and the spurs of his riding boots clanged on the gangplank.

Before he got closer, he laughed loudly at Lin Yanjun: "Brother Songting, you have been violating the religion for a long time!" The last time I went to the Han River, my brother took away a few cadres under the command of Brother Songting, and this time we will not talk about anything else, and make amends first! ”

When the two walked only one step, they invariably saluted and shook hands warmly.

Lin Yanjun smiled at Wu Wencai behind him: "Brother Niansun, what are you doing?" Feeling embarrassed? When you came out of me, you were a team officer, and now you are the head of the regiment, and I am happy for you! Now that everyone is forming a coalition together, everyone is doing it together again, what's wrong? ”

Wu Wencai smiled reluctantly, saluted Lin Yanjun, stood beside Wang Feng and pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lin Yanjun took Wang Feng's hand: "Everyone here is an acquaintance, there is only one, Commander Wang has not seen it, let me introduce it." This is the representative who came to contact the Southern Army first, Comrade Huang Yiou, the eldest son of Mr. Keqiang! ”

Huang Yiou smiled reservedly, and also saluted Wang Feng, Wang Feng looked at him wearing the uniform of a school official, with a square face and big ears, and he had the bearing of a child of a family.

Hurriedly shook his hand: "Long look up, look up very long!" Kegong, how is the situation in Hanchang now? ”

This is Wang Feng pretending to be an idiot and asking knowingly. When Huang Keqiang arrived in Hanchang, everyone pinned all their hopes on him, and Li Bodhisattva also specially imitated the example of Han Gaozu taking the stage to worship Han Xin, and set up a platform to raise his account.

He also sent cavalry to hold the banner of "Huang Xingdao" to announce the defenders of the Quartet, but the old gentleman's subordinates were too uncompetitive, and they were defeated and retreated by Feng Laoer's Beiyang strong army, first losing Hankou and then Hanchang, and his prestige in Hubei Road was plummeting.

Wang Feng picked this topic out, which really made Huang Yiou, an arrogant young man, a little unable to get off the stage.

However, this kid is also a figure who has seen the world after all, so he changed the topic lightly and skillfully: "My father has been defeated repeatedly in Hanchang, and he is still persistent, but he has also attracted all the strong forces of the imperial court, and the bitter battle in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is to create opportunities for our big move downstream." Commander Wang, as a rising star of the party, should not let go of this great opportunity. ”

This kid deliberately bit the word rising star very hard, and he thought that he was also ridiculing Wang Feng's doubtful identity as a party.

Wang Feng laughed, took the hands of a few people and walked forward: "Just like Brother Yiou said, the cause of recovering Jinling cannot be delayed any longer. I, Wang Feng, have fought with my life to bring down Jinling City! Even if you die, you will die under Jinling City! ”

Seeing that Wang Feng looked like he was the boss there, Lin Yanjun and Tao Zhengzhang glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly.

"This time, the coalition forces were combined, the town army had two brigades of 3,500 people, and the southern army had a detachment of about four complete infantry battalions, two patrol battalions, and half an artillery battalion of 3,200 people. Then there was the main force of Commander Wang's iron-blooded army, three infantry regiments and a complete detachment directly under it, close to 8,000 officers and soldiers. There is no doubt that our three teams are mainly based on Commander Yu's troops, and more importantly, the Southern Army has no military stations, and the Zhen Army is also extremely short of military reserves. The help of our three teams will all depend on Commander Wang, and I am convinced that Jinling will go down and the recovery will be successful! And Commander Wang's position in the annals of Guangfu history will inevitably be brilliant! ”

Huang Yiou's strength analysis was extremely beautiful, and he looked at Wang Feng with blazing eyes.

Wang Feng was unmoved, he was there with a distracted face, he was thinking about what he had in his hands? I'm afraid of a big loss!

He made about 14 million yuan before and after the Han River, spent 4.5 million yuan to set up a bank, built the army and ruled the Han River for almost a month, spent about 2oo yuan, and the remaining 75o yuan was placed in several banks.

Sun Wu took over the Han River, in addition to the materials, he could make some supplements, the money was really gone, and he had been really ruthless in this month. His own 10,000 troops are about 150,000 a month, and the other troops add up to 120,000 Dingtian, if they can enter Jinling City as soon as possible, it is estimated that there will be a lot of business.

I have just started, and every dollar invested must be rewarded! The town army seems to be disbanded quickly, and it seems to be more cost-effective to exchange these investments for the strength of the town army.

Thinking of this, Wang Feng said angrily: "That's no problem, the brothers are all covered." After all, if the two million dollars in the Han River are not spent on the cause of recovery, where do you want to use it? It's just that the brothers' troops are all repaid, and they may have to suffer everyone. ”

His attitude was so generous that everyone was satisfied. Immediately the most substantive question will begin, what is the organization of this coalition force like? Who will be the leader of this coalition?

It turns out that in the history of another world that is not related to this parallel world, it is Xu Minghao, the commander of the 9th Brigade, who served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces with the support of Sun Wu.

And in this world, Sun Wucai took over the position of governor of Han and Han. Xu Minghao is still depressed in a hotel in Shenhai, and who will be the commander of this coalition army has become the most realistic question.

Wang Feng is the strongest, and he also covers the supply of the whole army, so it stands to reason that he should be responsible for this position of commander-in-chief.

But his qualifications are too shallow. Before in the country, he had no reputation at all, and his subordinates wanted to push him, but they did feel a little unspeakable.

For a while, in the town army headquarters, the meeting group composed of officers above the battalion level fell silent.

In the end, Wang Feng smiled and said, "What else is there to discuss?" There are so many things to do, and for a commander-in-chief, everyone has been worried for so long, and it is too unlike to look like a soldier. I propose that Commander Lin be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and Brother Song Ting is a senior and regiment commander, the most prestigious and qualified............"

Seeing that Lin Yanjun wanted to open his mouth to shirk, Wang Feng stood up and stepped on the blue brick ground with a crisp sound.

"Brother, let's settle it like that! You may think that my Wang is not easy to arrange, to put it mildly, whether it is the strength or logistics, there are the most brothers here, and the biggest brother recommends himself to be the deputy commander of the coalition army, and the general quartermaster of the coalition army is also placed in the brother's deputy headquarters, which is the best of both worlds, what do you think? ”

Lin Yanjun was a little nervous, saying that it was not good, and it was more hypocritical to say that it was not good.

Huang Yiou stood up: "Our Southern Army supports this decision!" It is better for Commander Lin to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and Commander Wang is also responsible for serving as the supervisor of the army! ”

Tao Zhengzhang also stood up and nodded: "Indeed! I don't have time to discuss these issues anymore, let's put up the shelves as soon as possible, and we'll discuss how to fight Jinling! ”

On November 25, the General Headquarters of the Allied Forces was established in Zhenjiang, and under the unanimous recommendation of the Iron and Blood Army and the Southern Army, Lin Yanjun served as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, Tao Zhengzhang was the Chief of Staff of the Allied Forces, Wang Feng was the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, and Wu Wencai was the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Allied Forces.

More than 15,000 troops of the coalition army are preparing to attack the political center of the imperial court in the southeast!

The Great War is imminent!

Jinling City, located on the shore of the Yangtze River, has been known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It was the most important southern city that controlled the throat of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the radiation power could deter the southeast at that time.

To the west of Jinling City, the mighty Yangtze River flows through it. To the north and east, Zhongshan encloses the semi-circular shape of Jinling Castle. In the west is the low-lying swamp area of the Qinhuai River Basin, in addition to these natural barriers, there is also the water barrier of Xuanwu Lake in the east of the city, and the city wall of Jinling is also the most complete and strongest city wall defense system in addition to Qianjing.

At this time, there were still 40 battalions of river defense troops with big pigtails in Jinling City, and two patrol teams, plus the supervision guard and the banner soldiers of the city, and there were 30,000 defenders in the entire Jinling City.

In terms of strength, it is indeed the largest city fortress of the Great Qian Empire in Jiangnantong!

And Wang Feng is exactly such a city that they want to attack.

Sixty miles north of Jinling City, at Moling Pass, a battalion of the Hongzi Battalion of the Jiangfang Army was stationed here. (The battalions of the Jiang Defense Army are the battalions of the patrol team, which are divided into large battalions and small battalions.) The battalion is 4~5oo people, each battalion has five posts, and each post has ten sheds; The small battalion is 3oo people, divided into three posts).

At first, it was the semi-fortress position of Yuhuatai Purple Mountain, and the role of the outpost and barrier was that since these 400 or so people were planted here, the people around the card were unlucky.

In addition to the normal supply of military supplies and the arrest of Chalaf, there are not a few cases of stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and plundering. These officers and men of the Jiang Defense Army, who were tied with flowers, even opened a casino, set up several seats and tents, and shouted five or six drinks, which was also very lively every day.

On November 27th, Tang Baocai, who led the head of this camp with the rank of general, and Tang Daguan, was playing a lively stall here, and he was the emperor again.

The bets that have been eaten by the hand wind are already piled up on the table. When he was in high spirits, a horse at the bottom ran over with a rolling belt, and shouted a report from a distance.

Tang Daguan glared at him in a bad mood: "Your father is dead!" Trouble me at this time! ”

The horse ate the chop, thinking to himself, isn't my father your uncle? You cursed your uncle dead, it doesn't seem to be a good idea, this thought just flashed in a flash, and he hurriedly reported to Tang Guandao: "Dozens of Kuomintang cavalry appeared in front of our card, watching our position from afar!" ”

Tang Guan stood up suddenly, and even the gambling table was brought down, and the chips and gambling equipment were scattered all over the ground.

A few little squires who accompanied him to gamble exclaimed when they heard the news, and hurriedly ran home to take care of them.

Tang Baocai took the big belt on the table, opened his front placket and scolded outward: "This gang of endless party members!" I'm going to come back and die! ”

I heard a bang, and it seemed to be shot in the distance, and then the gunshots rang out. Tang Baocai's cousin Ma Ben lay on the ground, Tang Baocai didn't care about him, and ran back to his card in stride.

Looking out, there were thirty or forty cavalrymen wandering beyond the range of their rifles, and by looking at their military caps, they knew that they were the new army.

They carried rifles on their horses, and from time to time they fired two shots at this place, and about half of the brothers of a battalion on their side were in their own jams, and they returned their guns in a disorderly manner, but the distance was too far for either side to threaten either.

Although Tang Baocai was rude, he was an old military after all, and he followed him from the time when Zhang Da Braid suppressed the Boxers in Qingzhou.

He understood at a glance that these dozens of cavalrymen were just here to reconnoiter their firepower, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Ceasefire, ceasefire!" Don't fucking fight! ”

He tied himself up a few times and gave an order to several sentinels who came over: "Call me a striker!" Each person will be rewarded with a piece of ocean, and if you get a level, you will be rewarded with five oceans! Lao Tzu wants thirty people to beat these six-legged rabbit cubs out! And some of his sentries screamed, and went down to gather the brethren.

Tang Baocai took a six-ring revolver and pinned it to his waist. He picked up a Winchester rifle, and he preferred the old fellow to the Manlisa rifle that was officially used in the battalion.

In just a few minutes, thirty outlaws had gathered around him, some of them shirtless, with blank expressions on their faces.

Tang Baocai nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone follows me, and when the time comes, the head will be rewarded!" Liu Erlame took out the electric gun that the commander gave us, and gave them a guy first! ”

Tang Baocai took more than thirty people, and the cat's waist quietly touched forward along the ditch.

A Maxim machine gun in the back also rang out intermittently, and his brother was very unskilled in fiddling with this guy. The bullets were shelled three times or two, and some didn't know where they went.

The cavalry was still hovering out of range, occasionally with a shot or two, except for a petty officer who was watching with a telescope on his horse, and from time to time he took out his picture bag and wrote something on it.

These thirty or so people took advantage of the terrain to touch a place that was still seventy or eighty meters away from these cavalry. Tang Baocai beckoned everyone to set up their guns, and as soon as the words were released, all the rifles were fired, and immediately four or five cavalrymen were planted down, including the little officer.

Tang Baocai shouted and pounced with people, which was obviously beyond the expectations of these cavalrymen, and after a few random shots from his rifles, he turned his horse's head and fled.

The soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army rushed over, Tang Baocai was the first to snatch the officer's binoculars, and flicked the dead officer with his mud-stained boots, he turned it over, the bullet passed through his chest, and the boss had a bloody hole behind him, a baby face was still very clean, and his eyes had lost their brilliance, looking at the sky empty.

Tang Baocai snorted, and his heart couldn't help but move: "Such a young party!" ”

The brothers around him were clamoring to grab their heads, and he didn't pay attention to them, and looked down at the road where the cavalry was defeated, and suddenly the old soldier's hands and feet were cold.

In the afternoon sun, at least a thousand yellow infantry, lined up in several straggler lines, slowly pressed towards this side. In the rear of the skirmishers, machine guns were already being put in columns, and the muzzles were facing in their direction.

"Run!" Tang Baocai let out a heart-rending roar.

The heavy machine guns were already ringing out, and several fiery snakes were whipping towards them, and a dozen soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army fell in twitches in the columns of smoke stirred up by bullets on the ground.
