"Zhang Dewu!"

After Zhao Erxun was pressed to the ground, he saw that it was Yang Da Ghost who was holding him down, where could he not understand what Zhang Dewu was going to do at this time? The gun is gone, but the mouth can still speak, Zhao Erxun scolded: "This ungrateful guy! If it weren't for Lord Baylor's bowl of rice, where would you be today? You don't have to die well......"

Yang Xiaolin frowned, reached out and grabbed a piece of hard mud from the side and stuffed it into Zhao Erxun's mouth. He couldn't speak again.

The brothers who came with Yang Xiaolin had already pointed their guns at the Qing army troops beside Zhang Dewu, and the Qing soldiers were a little panicked, and they didn't know if it was time to pick up the weapons they had just put on the ground.

Zhang Dewu walked over at this time, looked at the Qing soldiers, and walked to the volunteers who were holding guns: "Brothers, put down the guns, these soldiers are my good brothers, don't point the muzzle of the gun at your own people." ”

The soldiers of the Volunteer Army hesitated, Yang Xiaolin nodded, and the muzzles of their guns lowered slightly.

This action really relieved the Qing troops on the opposite side. Zhang Dewu walked up to them: "Everyone, today's matter is here, I believe everyone has understood. I don't want to deceive everyone anymore, I came to Liaodong to join Yang Da's family, because I think that only those who dare to shoot foreigners with guns and cannons like the volunteers are called real heroes! ”

Zhang Dewu said and walked up to the commander of the Qing army and patted the man on the shoulder: "But Commander Yang has been letting me stay by Zaitao's side in the past few years, and I feel very aggrieved. But it's okay. I am very grateful to you brothers in the barracks with me, if it weren't for you, I might not be able to stay by Zaitao's side for a day. ”

Those Qing soldiers were silent when they heard this, and the general who took the lead opened his mouth twice: "Zhang, General Zhang......"

Zhang Dewu smiled at him: "I also thought about being with you in the future and never coming to Commander Yang again." Because you're really good. In those days when we lived and died together in Fengtian, there was no one among the brothers. ”

The Qing soldiers unconsciously straightened their chests at this time. Zhang Dewu continued: "But I didn't have a choice! Everyone is a soldier, and they know it very well in their hearts. What mistake did Commander Yang make? Is it wrong to hit the Russians and the Japanese?! Is it wrong for you to tell me? ”

No one answered him, and Zhang Dewu didn't seem to have the idea of waiting for someone to answer, so he said to himself: "I don't want to hit the cannonball on the head of the volunteers!" Because they're just like us. It's all good! ”

He said that he stopped here, Zhao Erxun, who was lying on the ground, had been tied up at this time, and his mouth was also blocked with a strip of cloth, and there was no stop crying that no one could understand at all.

Zhang Dewu didn't pay attention to him, and bowed deeply to those Qing soldiers: "I'm sorry everyone, I know that this time I smashed everyone's jobs, but please rest assured, I will never allow anyone to harm your life."

"Now let me ask, if you are willing to follow me Zhang Dewu and follow Commander Yang to fight the Japanese, you can now stand on my side! It's okay if you don't want to. As long as you don't trouble me, I'll let you out of here tomorrow morning, and you won't break your word!" ”

Yang Xiaolin also stood next to Zhang Dewu at this time, and said to those Qing soldiers: "Brothers, don't worry, although I Yang fights ghosts, I kill people." But few Chinese have been killed. If there are veterans in Liaodong among you, you should know this. You don't trouble me, and I promise not to hurt you. ”

In the past, some veterans did say to these people that the Russians who were caught by Yang Dagui were basically lifeless, but they were always merciful to the Qing soldiers.

The Qing army general believed the words of Yang Xiaolin and Zhang Dewu, and said at this time: "Everyone should listen to the orders of the head and General Zhang, and if you are willing to go with Brother Zhang, go over." If you don't want to, just stay and don't move! This isn't beating the Russians, so we can't play with our lives! ”…,

The mood of the Qing army quickly stabilized, and about thirty people came over, and the rest of them still chose to stand still, after all, in the eyes of the Qing army, Yang Xiaolin is still in the name of a bandit, and following him is to go up the mountain to be a bandit, and there is no future.

Yang Xiaolin was not reluctant to do this, and he was already very happy that more than 30 people came out: "Brother Zhang, you did a good job." What to do when you come down? ”

Zhang Dewu smiled: "It's simple, let's call all the officers of the artillery team, and then we just want to treat these brothers like us." It's just that the commander must not hurt them. ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Naturally." Move quickly, tomorrow at dawn I will launch an attack on Zaitao, it is now 3:50, and in two hours we must be ready to bombard Zaitao. ”

Zhang Dewu took a look at his watch, this watch was given to him by Zaitao, he was really a little worried in his heart, not only worried about Zaitao's safety, but also worried about whether Yang Xiaolin could really kill Zaitao's troops tomorrow. You must know that the Japanese have accelerated the speed of their march, and the day after tomorrow, it should be said that the day after tomorrow, because it is already early in the morning, and it will definitely be able to go straight to Matsubara.

"Don't worry, Commander, I promise I won't delay your affairs. But if I say more, the more than 100,000 people around Zaitao are quite combative, and the commander you will bring more than 10,000 people, is it a little hanging? ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "10,000 people are enough, and when I charge again, there will be someone on Zaitao's side to answer me." ”

Zhang Dewu was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Yang Xiaolin buried more than one nail beside Zaitao, if that was really the case, Zaitao's defense line did not need to be fought There was a gap, then there was really no suspense in this battle.

Yang Xiaolin patted him on the shoulder: "I am bound to win, now what I want you to help me do is to stabilize these artillery units, let the Qing army stay as long as possible, and after killing Zaitao, we will fight the Japanese, that is the real battle." If we can supplement the façade with the Qing army, when Shogami comes to him, he will find that my shili has multiplied in vain, I think. I'm sure I'll be able to surprise him. ”

Zhang Dewu nodded: "Okay, I know." Commander, if you can, can you spare Zaitao's life? ”

Yang Xiaolin looked at Zhang Dewu, and Zhang Dewu said: "He's really not too bad. ”

"Well, if he makes it back to Mukden alive. It means that God spared him, and I won't kill him. ”

With Yang Xiaolin's promise, Zhang Dewu finally felt at ease to do it.

Lord Belle really didn't know that his artillery had fallen into Yang Xiaolin's hands at this time. He got up very early this morning, and began to set up his position before dawn. Zaitao came to attack Fushun, but his position was all in a defensive formation.

Zaitao had no intention of charging. It's wise to meet the bayonets of those desperate guys who fight ghosts with Yang. Just bombarded with artillery, Yang had no way to fight back.

Those Qing troops who gave orders continued to enter and exit Zaitao's military tent, and Bei Leye's mood was very complicated, a little sad, and a little excited. It's sad because when he gave Yang Xiaolin the paperwork to recruit Yang Xiaolin last year, Zaitao thought that this battle might not have to be fought again, but he really didn't expect that the two sides finally came to this point.

And Zaitao didn't want to cooperate with the Japanese, if Yang Xiaolin hadn't dug up their Manchu ancestral grave, Zaitao really didn't want to beat him at this time.

Excited. The reason is also very simple, he is finally going to face the Volunteers, and he is finally going to fight the battlefield with Yang Fighting Ghosts! It's a passion thing that is inherently exciting. Defeated the volunteers, captured Yang alive and fought ghosts, and when Zaitao succeeded Zeng Qi, Lafayette gave him the task of this.

One by one, the soldiers who gave the order went out. One after another came in, and the various units of the Qing army were in place one after another, and they were ready to prevent battle. …,

Tie Liang's hands were rubbed nervously, he was indeed inferior to Zaitao in terms of actual combat experience. Don't look at Tie Liang's age than Zaitao, but he really hasn't been on the battlefield, and the tense atmosphere before the war made him feel a little depressed.

Zhang Zhidong obviously knew Tie Liang's mood. poured a cup of tea and put it on the table: "Lord Wang, don't worry, Lord Belle's arrangement is very stable, which can give full play to our superior firepower." Yang Dagui is still shrinking in the city, and he has lost the opportunity, and Lord Belle will definitely be able to win this first battle! ”

Zaitao heard this, and there was a slight objection in his heart, he knew that this was already Yang Xiaolin's territory, and the underground tunnels extended in all directions, Yang Xiaolin could slip away at any time, and the real victory was still early.

Zaitao didn't think about annihilating Yang Xiaolin in a battle, he had time, he could fight with Yang Xiaolin slowly, and there was no need to worry. He was not worried that Yang Xiaolin would divide his troops and sneak up on other cities to make trouble with him, because compared to the Russians and Japanese, the Qing Dynasty fought at home.

If Yang Xiaolin attacked one or two cities, Zaitao would not care about him at all, and Yang Xiaolin would never massacre in the cities of the Qing Dynasty, which Zaitao knew very well. He used this method to slowly move forward, and the bombardment of city by city slowly forced Yang Xiaolin into a corner.

However, Zaitao didn't explain anything, and he could also see that Tie Liang was very nervous, just like the first time he brought his team out to fight, he was a little at a loss.

"Is there any news from the artillery team?"

"Not yet, they arrived at Dataigou two hours ago."

Zaitao's brows furrowed, according to the distance, Zhang Dewu should have arrived a long time ago, and there is still no news from Weishenme? Could it be that they are too tired and ready to rest for a night and come back tomorrow? In that case, Zhang Dewu should give himself a message.

"Send a horse to investigate."

"Wow!"

As soon as the order was issued, a personal soldier pushed the door in: "Report! General, General Zhang of the artillery team and Lord Zhao marched in Dataigou, the mountains and forests in front of them were steep, they did not dare to rush forward, and had already set up camp there, General Zhang sent a letter, saying that they would leave at dawn this morning and arrive at the designated position before nine o'clock. ”

Zaitao took the letter and looked at it, it was Zhang Dewu's notes, as well as Zhao Erxun's big seal, and he didn't suspect anything at the moment, and called out to the pro-soldier who was going to check. Zhang Dewu did delay the time, but Zaitao was still delayed for a few hours, and with the principle of safety first, Zaitao did not ask again.

"It seems that our battle will not be fought until the afternoon, so pass the order to let the troops prepare to prevent the gang of bandits in the city from taking advantage of the morning to raid us!"

Zaitao's voice was very calm, Tie Liang squeezed out a smile on his face after hearing this, smiled at Zhang Zhidong, took a sip of the teacup, and suppressed the panic in his heart: "Zaitao, do you want to contact the Japanese again and let them speed up the march a little more?"
