When Lin Yuan returned to the camp, he saw Yuan Shikai walking forward with a smile on his face, and said to Lin Yuan: "When I left Beijing, the Holy Lord told me to exterminate the bandits as soon as possible, and I hope Lord Lin will help me a lot?" ”

Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "I don't know what tricks you want to play!" So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "How can I help?" ”

Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "We took the train from Beijing to Xi'an, and then we saw the power of trains and railways, if there are no trains and railways, only relying on people's two legs, I don't know how much time it takes to travel from Beijing to Xi'an, so I think trains and railways are very important." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What is Yuan Shikai going to do in a rambling manner? So Lin Yuan smiled and said bluntly: "Lord Yuan, if you want me to do something, you might as well say it directly." ”

Yuan Shikai said: "Lord Lin, Yuan does have something to ask for, and I hope that the adults will agree." ”

Lin Yuan made a "please" gesture, and Yuan Shikai smiled: "That's the case, the place where the bandits are entrenched is in Gansu, and there is still a short distance from here, if people walk, it will take too long, so we want to take the railway, but I heard that the railway from Xi'an to Lanzhou has been damaged in many places, so I want to ask adults to take people to repair the railway as soon as possible." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Just this request?" ”

Yuan Shikai bowed and said with a smile: "Please agree." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that this is Yuan Shikai's plan to kill people with a knife, he wants the rebels and rebels on the railway line to kill me, Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai, it's not so easy to kill me!" So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I agreed." ”

Yuan Shikai said: "My lord, the military situation is urgent, please leave quickly." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I'll set off now!" ”

Yuan Shikai even thanked him, said goodbye and left, as soon as he left, Shen Wanqing walked out from behind, and said in a reproachful tone: "This is obviously Yuan Shikai's poisonous plan to kill people with a knife, how can you agree?" How dangerous it is on the road! The comrades of the Xi'an railway department have already told us that the train has often been robbed by rebels during this period, or they would not have stopped running the train. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Through my conversation with a few Hui compatriots yesterday, I found that the situation in Gansu is very chaotic, so I want to take a look as soon as possible to find out how many forces are in Gansu, and then I can prescribe the right medicine, let's go, let's go to the railway department and study the matter of exploring the railway." ”

The two were walking on the road, and Shen Wanqing said to Lin Yuan, "Are we really going?" Too dangerous, right? The walls of the carriage are so thin that even a clay bird gun can penetrate it! ”

Lin Yuanha smiled and said, "When you get to the place, you will understand!" Lin Yuan came to Xi'an Station with a confused Shen Wanqing, and Lin Yuan came to the stationmaster and asked, "Do you remember those two railway chariots?" ”

The stationmaster hurriedly said: "Of course I remember, the treasure is stored in the warehouse." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Get them out, it's going to come in handy!" The stationmaster took Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing to the warehouse, and Shen Wanqing asked, "Railway chariot?" What's that? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The railway chariot is said to bluff people, in fact, it is a powered armored carriage, the iron sheet on the outside is very thick, and our machine gun bullets can't penetrate it, let alone the guns in the hands of those rebels; This kind of carriage is very high, and our people can see far away from the observation tower at the top, and there are also three 12.7mm heavy machine guns on it, we have this kind of thing, and what is there to be afraid of! ”

Shen Wanqing asked in surprise, "How could Xi'an Station prepare such a thing?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Of course, it is to protect the railway line, when repairing the railway in Gansu, it has to pass through several desert areas, where bandits are often infested, so I got two railway chariots, but after the railway was repaired, there have never been bandits to intrude on the operation of the train, and these two railway chariots have been placed in the warehouse, not only that, since the railway was repaired, almost no one has reported the discovery of bandits!" ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "Is this strange?" As soon as the railway was repaired, the bandits all became Buddhas? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Later, our people caught the leaders of several bandits, and when they asked, they found out that the bandits found that it was more profitable to sell goods by railway for trade, and there was no risk of being killed, so they changed their careers to business!" ”

Shen Wanqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and soon the stationmaster took Lin Yuan to the warehouse, the railway chariot inside was as good as new, and Lin Yuan said: "Transfer me another railroad laying car, and we will act together." The stationmaster immediately went to mobilize, and by the afternoon it was ready.

Lin Yuan asked everyone to bring all their weapons and prepare to get on the car and set off, when they got on the car, they found that it was late, Lin Yuan knew that the visibility at night was very low, and the action would be unsafe, so he decided to set off the next day, early the next morning, including Shen Wanqing and Gao Yu, a group of people including Shen Wanqing and Gao Yu set off, the railroad track laying car was in front, and the railway chariot was behind, and they walked along the railway line to the direction of Lanzhou, and after walking for a few hours, they drove into the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Mansion.

There was no damage to the railway along the way, and the surroundings were very calm, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "At least you can transport troops from Xi'an Mansion directly to Fengxiang Mansion." Lin Yuan was thinking about it, when suddenly a message came from the cab: "Report to Lin Shuai, the railway in the distance ahead is blocked, and you must stop!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What is the obstacle?" ”

The cab replied, "I can't see it yet, but those things are strange, there is a black fog on them, and that fog moves!" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Black fog? Will you still move? What the hell is this? So Lin Yuan asked, "Are you right?" What exactly is that? ”

The driver replied, "I really don't know what to do, we have to stop for safety!" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "How can there be obstacles on the railway for no reason!" It's so strange, someone must have put it on it, with a simple purpose, to intercept our car! Lin Yuan immediately ordered: "Stop!" All the personnel are ready, and the machine gunners are on the roof watchtower! ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he climbed the watchtower, raised his binoculars and looked into the distance, and when he saw the things piled up on the railway, he couldn't help but shake his hands, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, why are those things piled up on the railway!" ”

There were six watchtowers on the roof of the car, and Chen Fei was beside Lin Yuan, but he didn't have a telescope, so he couldn't see what was blocking the railroad tracks, so he hurriedly asked, "What did you see?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Corpse! The corpses of people, a large pile, were piled up on the railway, and there seemed to be hundreds, and the black mist was the flies hovering above the corpses! You can see for yourself," he said, handing the telescope to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei said in surprise as he took the binoculars: "Use human corpses to block our train? Who are these people? It's ruthless! Chen Fei's tone suddenly changed and said, "Something is wrong! ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Fei pointed to the pile of corpses and said: "There are not only human corpses in the corpse pile, but also animals, pigs, horses, sheep and ......."

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, snatched the binoculars, and said, "Is there any difference between a human corpse and an animal corpse?" It's all in our way anyway! We've got to figure out how to get it out of the way! ”

At this moment, there was a sudden terrible whistle in the distance, and a messy sound of horses' hooves sounded behind the dirt slope!
