"Commander, we won, but let Lu Yuguang's kid escape." Liu Tao said with a dark face. He had brought the two dirt slopes, and because of the lack of gunpowder, they asked for homemade black powder, and as a result, they were also made into by the black smoke.

"Run, run. Lu Yuguang's ability to fight is commonplace, but his identity is too sensitive, and if we capture him alive, it will be tricky. Li Zongren said without any care.

"Commander, if we capture Lu Yuguang alive, wouldn't we be able to greatly threaten Lu Rongting? Even if you can't threaten Lu Rongting, it's good to exchange him for some guns and ammunition. The Gui family is a wealthy rent, and Lu Rongting will never disregard the life of his precious son for the sake of that money! Liu Tao said regretfully. During this period of tight days, Liu Tao paid more attention to the weight of weapons. is like a person who has lived a hard life, and when there is a time before and after, he always subconsciously wants to save some money and leave a way back for himself, so that he will not let himself live that kind of life with nothing again.

"It's not that simple. Although we are in a dilemma with the Gui family, we are indeed not the opponent of the Gui family now. Gui coefficient 10,000 troops are not just talking. Li Zongren was not carried away by the victory in front of him. He knew the combat effectiveness of his troops, if it wasn't for the night attack this time, coupled with Lu Yuguang's lack of combat experience, and being too careless to underestimate the enemy, I am afraid that this battle would not have gone so smoothly. Li Zongren, who was born in the Gui family, knows very well that although the Gui system is a little rotten, there are still some talented generals inside, and Lu Rongting himself is also very capable of leading troops, otherwise it would not be possible to become the king of Liangguang so easily.

"Commander, what do we do next? Let's eat Lu Yuguang's guard group, the Gui family will definitely not give up! Liu Tao said.

"Don't think so much about it first, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. We are no longer short of weapons and ammunition, and we must turn these weapons into our actual combat strength as soon as possible. An army can't always be supported by homemade guns. Li Zongren said helplessly. His troops were reorganized from a battalion of the Gui department, and their own weapons and ammunition were insufficient, and later the personnel expanded rapidly, and the weapons were fundamentally prepared, and some broadswords and spears were originally prepared. However, the combat effectiveness of this kind of cold weapon on the battlefield of hot weapons is really limited. Fortunately, because of bandits in the Yulin area, many people will make their own earthen guns, as well as bird guns hidden in the people during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Li Zongren hit this weapon and barely equipped his troops. As a result, Li Zongren's troops' weapons were extremely chaotic, including Hanyang-made rifles, which were popular in China, as well as other models of new rifles, and were equipped with a large number of homemade earthen guns, which fired not bullets, but grains of sand. The attack range is very small, but in the attack range, the power is very large, after all, this thing is a piece when it hits. The fine grains of sand, driven by black powder, are terrifyingly lethal. Of course, it was extremely difficult to reload this kind of earthen gun, so Li Zongren's troops all carried large swords and spears with them. When you come into contact with an enemy, give them a spear, then put away the gun, and then use a broadsword and spear. Even with such rudimentary weapons, Li Zongren still relied on his own side to achieve victory.

"The people have helped us a lot this time. It's just that you promised no one to send a piece of ocean, isn't it too much? In order to create a greater pressure effect on Lu Yuguang at night, Li Zongren spent money to invite many ordinary people to shout loudly in all directions, beat drums, and set off firecrackers. This kind of intimidation played a great role, causing the officers of the Gui Guard Regiment to make a mistake in judgment and greatly expanding the offensive strength of the First Army in Guangxi. In the end, Lu Yuguang and his party fled in a hurry.

"Didn't we get a lot of money from the City Lord's Mansion? We must give money according to the agreement, this is related to our local people's hearts, not money can be bought. "Li Zongren will never do anything that loses credibility and popular support for a little money.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Zongren's troops escorted the crooked Gui soldiers back to Yulin happily. Followed by the common people. It is different from the army's high sexuality. The people's minds are still quite worried, after all, whether the army will abide by the agreement of one person and one ocean will not be obeyed, and the people have no bottom in their hearts. After all, in this era, the common people do not have the strength to stand up to those in power. In Yulin County, Li Zongren is undoubtedly the person in power.

It wasn't until they returned to Yulin County that the common people each got a piece of the ocean's hardship fee, and then they dispersed happily. Although it was almost dawn at this time. But Li Zongren and his entourage did not feel sleepy at all.

"Commander. What do we do next? The Gui family will definitely fight back wildly. Our situation will only get more difficult in the future. Li Tao said. Under him sat several officers. are all confidants promoted by Li Zongren.

"Yes, military commander, the Gui family has experienced this failure, and they will definitely be much more cautious, and they will only send more troops next time, and they will not let a young strong man like Lu Yuguang take command, in the face of the veteran of the Gui family, where will we go?" Another battalion commander said.

"Don't worry, we're definitely under pressure. But let's not forget. If we are unable to resist, we can abandon the Yulin area at any time and leave, these two vast areas are so big, there is no place for us. Li Zongren said with a smile.

"Commander, this Yulin was finally defeated by us. You can't give up easily! Liu Tao said. People are inert. When you get used to the feeling of having a turf, you won't let go easily. After all, if an army loses its foundation, it is really easy to be completely wiped out.

"You are still short-sighted, what is the purpose of the establishment of our Guangxi First Army, not to overthrow Lu Rongting's reactionary rule and restore the republican system of Guangxi and Guangzhou. Since we are fighting against the powerful Gui family, we can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. I don't know if you have read the paper of the Northeast and Japan War Report some time ago. According to the newspaper, the Northeast Army and the Japanese went to war, and in the face of the superior strength of the Japanese Imperial Army, the Northeast Army chose to temporarily avoid the front, introduce the Japanese army into the northeast, consume the sharp spirit of the Japanese army, lengthen the supply line of the Japanese army, and then the troops looked for fighters in the movement. Moreover, there is a general in the Northeast Army named Zhenzhen, who is very good at sports warfare. Tens of thousands of troops are as nimble in his hands as his own hands and feet. The most elite 1st Division of the Japanese army was stunned by his use of sports to fight for life and death. All these have given us experience, as long as we change our thinking, the entire Liangguang is not everywhere our base. Li Zongren said with a smile. I have to say that Li Zongren is a military wizard, even though he is still young, but he has already shown an unparalleled military sense. If Feng Yong heard Li Zongren's words, he would have to say a word of convincing. After all, he is a military strategist who has written a strong mark in China's modern history, and now he has already shown the potential of a military wizard.

"Commander, we can also contact some old friends in the Gui family, it turns out that because we are weak, we may be wiped out by the Gui army at any time, and we have no reason to invite those friends. Now that our Gui clan has begun to grow, we can try to pull those former robes over, and now among the Gui clan, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Lu Rongting's rule, which can not only strengthen our strength, but also weaken the strength of the Gui faction, and disintegrate the atmosphere of unity within them, killing two birds with one stone. Liu Tao thought for a while and said.

"Good!" Li Zongren was overjoyed, and in this way, the form they faced was much improved.

"Commander, I think we should also consider the issue of foreign aid, after all, we don't have an arsenal, and the outside is blocked by the Gui family, so it is difficult to obtain the supply of weapons. Should we send people to the north? Southwest or Beiyang can be a potential partner! Another officer said. People need to discuss with each other, and it is because of discussion that the spark of wisdom will burst out. If it was in the original, it would have been hard for them to think for themselves, but now inspiration comes out like a wellspring.

"That's a way to do it. But you have forgotten about one side of the forces. Li Zongren smiled and said.

"Commander, are you talking about the Northeast?" Liu Tao asked.

"No, although the Northeast is extremely strong, but because they are strong, they may not look down on us! Although I, Li Zongren, also have some ability, it is really nothing compared to the talents from the Northeast, and there is also a gap between Beiyang and Southwest between our two Guangxi and Southwest. Even if the Northeast has a heart, these two forces may not be willing, and we can only find ourselves dead by contacting the Northeast. Li Zongren said in detail.

"Yes, the Northeast is really not suitable at the moment."

"I'm talking about the Kuomintang party army." Li Zongren said.

"Party troops? The unit that was forced to leave Liangguang by the Gui family? I heard that they set off a wave in Fujian, but now they are being chased by the Beiyang army like a lost dog. Where is the strength to help us? Liu Tao said puzzled.

Li Zongren shook his head and said: "After all, the Kuomintang is the orthodoxy of the Chinese revolution, and it has great prestige among the people, and the resources of the Kuomintang are beyond your imagination. Moreover, Mr. Sun, the leader of the Kuomintang, was also a revolutionary who was dedicated to serving the country and the people. If there is his help, even in this Yulin area, it will have some effect. You don't know that in Yulin County, there are several big families that have ties with Mr. Sun's Kuomintang, and they may be able to help us get weapons and ammunition. ”

"Really?" Liu Tao and others were overjoyed.

"The influence of the revolutionary party is everywhere, and we should believe in the power of the revolution. Of course, now that the Gui system is blockading all directions, it will not be easy for even the revolutionaries to make a difference. However, I had some contacts with the top brass of the Kuomintang, and they were very supportive of our revolutionary actions. I wonder if the party army will go south to support us. "After all, the party army has two regiments and 6,000 people, plus they have sacked Li Houji's family in Fujian, and they have combat experience, so naturally they are not comparable to ordinary newly established troops.
