After Chen Jingyun sent Li Lianyang to send ammunition to Lin Wenying, he himself continued to rush to the direction of Yushan with a large group of men and horses, and also encountered several patrol battalions on the way, with a lot of people, and after a burst of gunfire, they were scattered, and Chen Jingyun did not have time and energy to capture the prisoners, so he rushed directly to the direction of Yushan after breaking them up.

Soon, he could see the light of the fire in front of him, and the sound of gunfire was getting clearer and clearer!

"Report to the commander, the striker has met the enemy!" At this time, a herald came running to report.

"How many enemies are there? Is it a patrol battalion or an eight-banner soldier? Chen Jingyun hurriedly asked.

"It's a patrol battalion, there are quite a few people, about three hundred people, and when we meet them, they are attacking to the north!"

After Chen Jingyun heard this, he immediately ordered the battle formation to be launched, and as the troops launched a forward attack, soon the gunfire in front became dense, and it didn't take long for someone to report that they had broken through the enemy's defense line! And friendly forces were spotted on the opposite side.

"Allies?" Chen Jingyun was a little puzzled, according to the situation under his control, the friendly forces in the city were only Xiao Qibin's troops and Lin Wenying's troops, but they wouldn't appear here.

Then after asking carefully, he found that those friendly soldiers turned out to be Wei Shengtian and others, and when he walked in, Chen Jingyun found that most of these people were students with immature faces.

"If Zihua hadn't come tonight, I'm afraid I would have to die for the country!" Wei Shengtian's glasses were already cracked, and his leg seemed to be injured, making it a little inconvenient to walk.

Chen Jingyun went over and said, "Why is Mr. Wei here, I remember to send someone to inform you and let you evacuate first!" ”

Wei Shengtian shook his head and said: "At the moment of national crisis, although I, Wei, am a powerless scholar, I can also shoot. Then he said: "These people are all comrades of our alliance!" ”

"They're all students?"

"It's all students from Fuzhou Middle School!"

"They're the kids!"

"They are no different from you and me, they are all revolutionaries!"

Chen Jingyun was speechless at Wei Shengtian's words, in his opinion, things like wars and uprisings should be done by professionals, not by students who should be sitting in the classroom. He didn't pity the lives of these young people, but felt that their lives should not end tonight, and Chen Jingyun felt that these students should study hard and then use what they learned to serve the country.

Looking at the blazing eyes of the group of students, Chen Jingyun couldn't say anything else, and immediately said: "The matter has come to this, let them follow my army!" ”

Immediately, Chen Jingyun equipped these students with uniform guns and formed a temporary cadet corps. Although Chen Jingyun couldn't convince Wei Shengtian and them, as the supreme commander of the battlefield, he had the right to put these children in the rear.

In addition to these cadets, dozens of prisoners were captured, and in fact the rebels did not kill or wound many soldiers of the patrol battalion, at most dozens of them were killed and wounded, and most of the patrol battalions were routed and scattered in all directions. For the more than 40 prisoners, those who were willing to join the rebel army cut off their braids and were divided into various departments, and those who were wounded and those who did not want to join the rebel army were likewise cut off their braids, collected their weapons and ammunition, and put them on guard.

After this obstacle, by the time Chen Jingyun led his troops to the outskirts of Yushan, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

"When we came, the enemy was defenseless, and the enemy who occupied the back of the mountain began to counterattack, because of the lack of ammunition of our army, so that the mountain was lost, and after receiving the ammunition support transferred by the commander, our army immediately counterattacked, and now it has occupied the periphery of the mountain! At present, our unit has suffered heavy casualties. Xiao Qibin spoke very clearly, and there was no urgency, and the military uniform on his body was straight without the slightest wrinkle.

"Good work!" Chen Jingyun opened his mouth and said: "I brought enough troops and ammunition, well, and artillery shells!" Now your artillery battalion is finally ready to use! ”

Previously, due to the lack of artillery shells, although Xiao Qibin brought all the artillery of the artillery battalion, after firing a few dozen shells, he used the artillery as infantry. Now Chen Jingyun brought the urgently needed shells, which made Xiao Qibin's face burst with joy: "I'll organize the shelling later!" ”

"Wait a minute, everything will depend on your artillery!" Chen Jingyun said.

As Xiao Qibin went to command the artillery, Chen Jingyun also led the crowd to officially take over the defense line!

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Chen Jingyun came down to attack, and with Chen Jingyun's order, the shells of the artillery battalion began to roar down towards the Qing position, and under the cover of heavy artillery, the battle to capture Yushan became no suspense. Chen Jingyun's troops launched only one charge, and the Qing army was already defeated.

After capturing the mountain, Chen Jingyun set up a headquarters in the Guanyin Pavilion on the mountain, and Xiao Qibin also commanded the artillery battalion to transport the artillery up the mountain.

The Eight Banners and the patrol battalion did not immediately launch a counteroffensive, and Chen Jingyun did not rush to attack the Banner Boundary. There are too many troops in the Eight Banners, and it is not a good idea to rashly enter the Banner Realm for street fighting. At the same time, the rebel soldiers had been fighting fiercely for half the night, and they were marching rapidly in the middle of the night, and their physical strength was extremely exhausted, and now it was time to rest and replenish their strength.

After Xiao Qibin sent the cannon operation up the mountain, Lin Wenying and Peng Shousong also rushed to Yushan with their men.

The lights in the Yushan Guanyin Pavilion were bright, and Chen Jingyun looked at the group of officers below who were all tired, and showed a faint smile. Ordinary soldiers need and can rest, but they can't, the officers.

"Feng Qin, tell me about the current situation!" Chen Jingyun spoke first.

Feng Qinkou said: "Yes! Then he stood up, walked to the map hanging on the wall behind him, and said: "According to the reports of the various departments, so far we have captured and controlled the Pingshan Armory, the Governor's Palace, the Huaxiang Town Command, the Pan Chuanpu Telegraph Office, the Cangqianshan Embassy District, the Daqing Bank Branch, the Zhongzhou Shuiting Water Bureau, Yushan, and various important official offices. ”

"Now we are facing more than 3,000 enemy troops within the banner boundary, including about 2,000 Jiesheng battalions, about 300 patrol battalions and more than 1,000 ordinary Eight Banner soldiers, so far they have not been found to have heavy machine guns and artillery! The total number of available troops in our hands is about 1,300 men, although the number of troops is inferior to that of the enemy, but the artillery of our artillery battalion has been replenished with shells and deployed on the hills, and there is also a heavy machine gun team, and we have an absolute advantage in heavy firepower. ”

"So far, the Qing army has not launched a counteroffensive against the mountain, but has occupied the Shuibu tower and formed a confrontation with our army! That's it so far! After saying that, Feng Qin returned to the table and sat down.

Chen Jingyun said: "What questions do you have? ”

At this time, Xiao Qibin said: "Because the time is too tight, our artillery battalion still needs time to prepare, and it will not be able to complete the artillery support in a short time." ”

Lin Feitai said in a deep voice: "Now that the troops in front and the enemy are facing each other, and they are separated by an open area, if your artillery battalion can't support it, then it will be a lot of trouble for us to attack!" ”

Lin Wenying said: "I don't think we should be in a hurry, after all, the flag realm is not an ordinary position fortress, but a residential area, and there are banner people inside, even if we break in, I am afraid we will suffer great casualties." ”

After Chen Jingyun heard this, his fingers tapped on the table: "Xiao Guandao, how much time does your artillery battalion need to complete the preparation for the shelling." ”

Xiao Qibin secretly thought about the meeting and said, "It will take at least an hour!" ”

"An hour is two hours, and it's two o'clock in the morning, so why don't you wait a little longer and attack at dawn tomorrow morning!" Chen Jingyun tapped on the table and continued: "Also, now that the number of the baggage battalion, the military band, and some other miscellaneous soldiers is small and complicated, they will be assigned to Lin Feitai's department and Chen Weihua's department to fight, so as not to make a fuss." ”

Although Lin Wenying, Xiao Qibin and Peng Shousong sensed something, they were not their own troops after all, and they did not speak.

Although the group discussed the plan of attack in the early hours of tomorrow under the oil lamp, after the preliminary determination of the plan, the officers of the various units began to return to their troops.

After the meeting ended, Chen Jingyun wanted to close his eyes and rest a little, but he couldn't sleep, so he had to continue to look at the map of Fuzhou under the light.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the Qing army launched a small-scale counterattack, which was quickly repulsed, but half an hour later, the Qing army launched a large-scale counterattack again, and the rebel army was caught off guard. So much so that Chen Jingyun sent a cadet team to reinforce the defense line.

When it reached five o'clock in the morning, although the sky was still dark, Xiao Qibin had already informed the artillery battalion to start sporadic shelling.

At 5:30 a.m., Chen Jingyun officially ordered a large-scale artillery bombardment, and Xiao Qibin began to command the artillery to carry out a long and intensive artillery bombardment of the Shuidu City Tower and the direction of the flag boundary, and even blew up the general's mansion in the flag boundary into rubble.

After half an hour of artillery preparations, Chen Jingyun ordered a general attack, and then the rebel army soon approached the Shuidu Tower, guarding the direction of the Shuidu Tower, the Qing army was on the verge of collapse after a night of hard fighting and half an hour of shelling, and after the rebel army launched a general attack, the white flag was finally raised at seven o'clock in the morning: "The general is leaving, and the truce is negotiated for peace!" ”

However, Lin Feitai, the commander at the front, thought that they had no sincerity in the peace talks while shooting at the same time as flying the white flag, but instead thought it was a ploy to surrender by deception, and immediately ordered to continue the attack.

Seeing that the rebel army continued to attack, the Qing army on the upper floor of Shuidu City played a second white flag: "Request a ceasefire, sacrifice weapons and beg to surrender", originally Lin Feitai didn't care, but at this time Chen Jingyun also came down from the command of Guanyin Temple, and began to patrol the battle line with the guards, encouraging morale, when he saw that the enemy army actually hung out the white flag, he took a telescope and looked carefully at the other party was indeed asking for surrender, and immediately ordered: "Temporary ceasefire!" ”

After saying that, he pondered for a moment and continued: "Let people shout, and if they really surrender, let them show enough sincerity!" ”

Soon there were loud people to shout, and after a while, Chen Jingyun was rewarded, and the Qing army sent a team of people with guns and asked to see Chen Jingyun.

"See me? What's so good to see, if you want to surrender, throw away your guns and line up in turn! Although Chen Jingyun said so, he still asked people to call the Qing army envoy over.

Not long after, I saw a guard leading a discouraged Qing army officer in, and when this person came in, he hugged his fists: "Wu Zhenxiang has seen the commander!" ”

As soon as this person blew himself up, Wei Shengtian on the side suddenly said: "Wu Zhenxiang! Hui Chongzhi's student? ”

Wu Zhenxiang immediately nodded: "Mr. Xu is indeed my teacher!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Jingyun felt a little funny, Xu Chongzhi was the head of the League in Fujian, but his students served the Qing army and fought against the rebel army.

However, Chen Jingyun was not curious about his identity, and immediately said: "You said you wanted to see me, but now that you have seen me, what do you have to say?" ”

When Chen Jingyun said this, this person obviously remembered why he came: "On the order of the deputy capital commander Mingyu, I have come to ask for surrender!" ”

"It's not easy to surrender, just put down your weapons and come out!" Lin Feitai on the side immediately said so.

Wu Zhenxiang's face turned pale: "Before we put down our weapons and come out, we need a guarantee from the commander!" ”

Although Chen Jingyun didn't like this person very much, he still didn't show it on the surface, it was naturally best for the enemy to take the initiative to surrender, although now his own side had the advantage, but no one knew how many casualties would be needed if he really attacked hard, and immediately said: "Say, what a guarantee!" ”

"As long as the commander promises not to hurt the flag people, we are willing to lay down our arms and surrender!"

Wu Zhenxiang's words made Chen Jingyun ponder, to be honest, he didn't say that he wanted to massacre the banner people, and he didn't plan to do so, so Wu Zhenxiang's conditions were nothing. If you don't agree, the banner people may resist desperately, and the casualties will be not small if they capture the flag realm at that time. After weighing it a little, Chen Jingyun said in a deep voice: "As long as the banner people don't take up arms to resist, I will protect their lives!" ”

After receiving Chen Jingyun's assurance, Wu Zhenxiang immediately returned to Qijie, and waited until about eight o'clock in the morning when the Qing army began to surrender.
