There is a saying in China: "Defeat is like a mountain!" "The Beiyang Army on the North Road now is such a portrayal. In the hole torn open by Li Chun's submachine gun guards, the Beiyang rout poured out like a tide. This made the new army in charge of tying the pockets feel so powerless. People have great fear in life and death, and at the same time, they will also have great courage in life and death. Faced with the choice of life and death, the cowardly Beiyang rabble also burst out with unimaginably powerful attack power.

"Damn it!" Tang Jiyao scolded fiercely.

"Order the troops to pursue with all their might, and those who resist will be killed!" Tang Jiyao didn't have any good solutions, they had to solve the situation here as soon as possible and quickly go south to support Cai Yi. Now the two roads in Beiyang are elite, Cai Yi is dragging all the way, and Xu Shuzheng's road is now rapidly moving west. Although Lei Biao tried his best to harass him, Xu Shuzheng seemed to have learned something, and he was no longer as cautious as he used to be. If he doesn't hurry up, I'm afraid Cai Ye won't have any good way to block the two armies. At that time, the southwest will be really dangerous.

"Let's go! As long as we get rid of the pursuit of the new army, we can regroup! Li Chun said with a gloomy face. This time he opened a breakthrough, and his guard regiment suffered very heavy losses. And the Forces nouvelles are clearly not going to let them go easily. After all, this is the home of the new army, and the Beiyang Army has no mass base here at all, and if he does not leave Sichuan as quickly as possible, once the new army mobilizes the strength of the local people, I am afraid that it will be more than ten times more difficult for him to leave.

Xing'an County, Guangxi.

Xing'an County is located in the northeast of Guilin, an important town in Guangxi, and is the gateway of Guilin to the Central Plains. Originally, Xing'an County was a relatively quiet small county. But now it's a battlefield filled with gunpowder. Since Lu Rongting's Gui forces were stationed in Xing'an County half a month ago, the local people in Xing'an have been evacuated spontaneously one after another. The common people are not fools, and they know that there is probably going to be a big war here. And on the battlefield there is no neutrality, only enemies and comrades. Bullets don't have eyes. Therefore, ordinary people who know a little bit of truth know how to avoid military disasters.

Lin Junting was stationed in Xing'an County on the order of Lu Rongting, surveyed the terrain, and selected the best place to block the attack.

The purpose of the Gui Department was to prevent the Beiyang Army from entering Guangxi, not to fight to the death with the Beiyang Army, so Lu Rongting's order to Lin Junting was: resolutely defend, not attack. Lin Junting is Lu Rongting's confidant, and of course he knows his thoughts clearly. But to start a war with a behemoth like Beiyang, Lin Junting was a little unconfident. Especially when Lu Rongting was unable to go to the front line in person. The pressure on the front line was all on him alone. This kept his spirit in a constant state of tension. Fortunately, in the past few days, the performance of the Beiyang Army has not been as crazy as he imagined.

"Lu Fu, when will the young marshal arrive?" Lin Junting said. The young marshal he was talking about was Lu Yuguang, the son of Lu Rongting, the marshal of the Gui family. Although Lu Yuguang is the young marshal of the Gui family, he is not Lu Rongting's biological son. Lu Rongting's parent-child name is Lu Yuxun, in the early days of Yuan Shikai's tenure as president, Lu Yuxun was once the military attache of the president in the capital, and later Yuan Shikai wanted to weaken Lu Rongting's strength and sent two Guangxi patrol envoys, the relationship between Yuan and Lu became tense, and Lu Rongting got his son back. It's a pity that Lu Yuxun died suddenly when he was passing through Wuhan. At that time, Lu Rongting was already in his fifties, and there was no hope of having another one. So he accepted a stepson Lu Yuguang to inherit his family business. Lu Yuguang is 22 years old this year, he is a smart person, and he is very popular with Lu Rongting. Since serving as the young marshal of the Gui family, he began to help Lu Rongting deal with military affairs. Showed a very good ability. This also made his position as a young marshal gradually solid.

If there is no young marshal of the Northeast Feng who is famous all over the world, I believe that the twenty-two-year-old Young Marshal Guijun can also be regarded as a handsome man. It's a pity that with a demon like Feng Yong in front of him, Lu Yuguang's performance has become an ordinary person.

However, Lin Junting did not dare to slack off at all. After all, the handsome man is already old. Although it is still majestic now, who can guarantee how long the handsome man can last. The power of this Gui family, which is now in full swing, will eventually be handed over to the young marshal.

"Uncle Lin! Listening to your tone, it doesn't seem to welcome the little nephew! A hearty voice came from outside Lin Junting's headquarters. Immediately afterwards, a young man in military uniform but without military rank strode in. The young man is tall, heroic, and looks very charming.

"Young marshal! You can't talk nonsense, if you let the old guys know. I can't afford it! Lin Junting smiled bitterly. The young man in front of him is Lu Rongting's stepson, Lu Yuguang, the young marshal of the Gui family. And the old guys that Lin Junting is talking about are the old people who follow Lu Rongting. Maybe Lu Yuguang's public relations ability is really good, or maybe Lu Yuguang is very charismatic. Lu Rongting's old subordinates attached great importance to Lu Yuguang. Many parties are extremely supportive of it, especially the rise of Young Marshal Feng in the Northeast, which sounded the alarm for those old guys and changed the senses of young people a lot. It turned out that the reason why Lu Yuguang was too young to be in charge of the army also became a joke, and Lu Rongting also tried his best to cultivate this stepson and gave him a private army of 3,000 people. Moreover, the old guys under Lu Rongting were very willing, and they sent the elite soldiers in their hands to Lu Yuguang's army. Although Lu Yuguang had less than 2,000 men in his hands and did not reach full strength at all, Lin Junting believed that in this land of Guangxi, unless the strength of the troops was four or five times that of Lu Yuguang, and it must be an elite army, other troops could not be the opponent of this carefully selected army at all. Lu Yuguang also adhered to the principle of preferring shortage to excess, and never recruited those with poor ability in order to achieve full staffing.

"Uncle Lin! My father couldn't get out of the way in Guangzhou, so he asked me to come to help Uncle Lin, how about it, how is the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army? Lu Rongting said with a smile. His smile was contagious. In the original history, there was no trace of Lu Yuguang's character at all. After all, when Lu Rongting lost power, he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old. In the eyes of those veterans who are in charge of the army, he is still an old man who cannot be fully trusted, no matter how outstanding his performance is, how much power can he control in the Gui family?

But now it is different, because of Feng Yong's butterfly effect, although it did not sweep away all the atmosphere of the people in power in the Republic of China looking down on young people, but it also brought a ray of vitality to the twilight of the Republic of China. At the same time, many people of insight have begun to realize that what the current Republic of China needs is not veterans who are old and respectful, but young people who are determined to forge ahead. Therefore, compared with the original history, there is a young marshal in the Gui family who has mastered the elite soldiers. No one can think clearly about what will happen in the Liangguang region in the future.

"Beiyang's combat effectiveness is average. Although Duan Zhigui, who led the troops, is not small, his ability to fight is really average, although he has an army of 40,000, if the commander is willing to give us power, we will definitely be able to defeat them. Lin Junting said confidently.

"Uncle Lin, don't underestimate the enemy. Duan Zhigui may really have no ability, but Beiyang's strength is still good. The most important thing is that we can't let go. Lu Yuguang said with some disgust on his face.

"Young marshal, what's wrong? Could it be that something embarrassing happened to the big handsome? Lin Junting said in surprise.

Lu Yuguang nodded.

"Is it the pressure from the Beiyang government?" At present, the southwest is too busy to take care of itself, and the forces in the northeast cannot reach the two regions at all. The only contact with the two Guangxi is the powerful Beiyang.

Lu Yuguang shook his head and said, "It's the Kuomintang!" ”

"Kuomintang? Sun Wen? What's wrong with them? Although Lin Junting has always been stationed in Guangxi with troops. But Lu Rongting invited the Kuomintang to Guangdong, but he knew about it.

"The Kuomintang harbored evil intentions. They set up a military academy in Guangzhou, which is spreading propaganda all over the world, attracting many people, and my father is worried about this matter! Lu Yuguang said with a wry smile.

Originally, because Cai Yi's army was frightened, in order to resist Cai Yi and gain the upper hand in public opinion, Lu Rongting would take the initiative to agree to the Kuomintang entering Guangdong. In Lu Rongting's mind, the Kuomintang from top to bottom was just a general person who talked about revolutionary ideals. But what he didn't expect was the fanaticism shown by the Kuomintang, which had been committed to reform, to the army. At the same time, it also shows the huge resources in their hands.

Not long after entering Guangzhou, the Kuomintang stood on the moral high ground through overwhelming public opinion and won the support of a large number of local wealthy families. In addition, a few tycoons took the initiative to spend a large amount of money and money to support the Kuomintang in establishing military academies. To develop revolutionary forces, although Lu Rongting was afraid of these things, he had no way to deal with them. After all, this was a condition that he personally agreed to when the Kuomintang entered Guangdong. With his reputation as Lu Rongting, he still disdains to break the contract.

"Didn't the marshal only give the Kuomintang a quota of 3,000 party troops? In this huge Liangguang area, what can 3,000 people do! Lin Junxiang said with a smile. At present, there are 50,000 people in the Gui army, and most of them are veterans who have fought against the Cantonese warlords, and their combat effectiveness is strong. The remaining half also received rigorous training. In addition, now that Lu Rongting has complete control of the Liangguang region, the snobbery in his hands has risen sharply again. Although the confrontation arose for half of Guangxi and Beiyang, the growth of strength made Lu Rongting's confidence swell. Now Lu Rongting does not need to rely on the status of the Kuomintang to sit firmly on the throne of Zhennan. Of course, Lu Rongting didn't like the Kuomintang no matter how he looked at it.

"The 3,000 party army is really nothing, but what if these 3,000 people are all graduates of military academies? Or are these 3,000 people all officers? In this way, the power in the hands of the Kuomintang is even greater. You must know that soldiers are easy to recruit nowadays, but qualified officers are hard to find! Lu Yuguang said in a deep voice.
