There was only one sight in front of Lin Xu's eyes: white ashes and black smoke. Only ashes and ruins. Then there's the pungent burnt smell, which is suffocating and makes people cough.

He originally had great respect for his mentor Zhang Zhidong, but now he has doubts about Zhang Zhidong's ability.

Regarding Zhang Zhidong's behavior of abandoning Changsha City and escaping, he wishfully believed Zhang Zhidong's explanation of "preserving his useful body for the future", and he also believed that "the whole city of Changsha was burned, and the responsibility was not to raise the army", but Zhang Zhidong then mobilized troops from all walks of life to quell the rebellion, but his ability was completely revealed.

Lin Xu couldn't understand why Zhang Zhidong had a lot of experience in the art of war, so why he made a mess when he commanded a specific counterinsurgency campaign?

In terms of specific operations, Zhang Zhidong was even more ignorant, but he was extremely stubborn, unwilling to listen to the opinions of the generals in the army, and unwilling to go to the front line to take a look. He's just directing what he wants.

After Lin Xu and Yang Shenxiu handed over the governor's seal banner and the silver of the feudal treasury to Zhang Zhidong, they went to the front line with the army separately, and what they saw and learned these days was much more than what they had seen and learned from books before.

That night, a battle was fought far behind the village. The sound of shell explosions and machine-gun fire was heard. Towards morning, some of the officers and soldiers who had been broken up and rushed out of the siege walked through the streets of the village. Many of them were wounded. However, before the reinforcements arrived, the army consisting of the patrol battalion and the river defense battalion and the officers and soldiers who had broken through the encirclement had begun to prepare for defense on the other side of the river. They hastily dug trenches and communication ditches and built bunkers. The surviving people in the village also helped them with it. Lin Xu picked up a shovel and came to the other side of the river at dawn, digging with hundreds of people until dark. Every night, a small number of officers and soldiers, or stragglers who were lucky enough to break out of the encirclement, passed through the village. They supported their wounded comrades, exhausted, muddy and unkempt. They rested in the village for an hour, devoured all the food brought by the villagers, and as soon as they heard that the troops were fortifying on the other side of the river, they rushed there to find their own men.

These people are all local officers and soldiers, who hate the rebels who burned, killed and plundered, and are bent on destroying the rebels and retaking their homeland.

It should be said that the morale of the counterinsurgency army is not low, but their supreme commander, Governor Zhang Zhidong, is really too weak.

What to do?

Now Lin Xu felt a trace of despair inexplicably.
