Lin Yuan saw that not only Yu Baoshui was frightened, but Wu Yuan, Li Xiao and others were also uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't it just a herald?" Are you so scared? ”

Yu Baoshui hurriedly said: "They rely on themselves to be the cronies of the handsome, and they call and drink to us, just like dogs, and from time to time they find fault and pick thorns, and make us happy, we can't afford to hide, so we are far away from those heralds!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "You are now my subordinates, what are you afraid of those fox and tiger things?" ”

Yu Baoshui's waist straightened up a little, and said: "You are right, if he dares to find fault again, I will definitely not be able to spare him." ”

While he was talking, the herald had already come to the bottom of the mountain, and after saying a few words to the guards under the mountain, he hurried back, Yu Baoshui said in surprise: "In the past, the herald would come to shake the majesty, why did you go back so quickly today?" ”

At this moment, the guard ran up the mountain in a panic and said, "Marshal Long led the troops, only twenty miles away from the Dasan Pass, and now they are resting, and they will arrive at the Dasan Pass in two hours!" ”

Yu Baoshui hurriedly asked, "Did the herald say how many people came?" ”

The guard replied, "Marshal Long's original troops, plus the newly recruited troops, have a total of more than 40,000 people!" ”

Yu Baoshui said to Lin Yuan in a panic: "Lin Shuai, let's run away quickly, 40,000 people!" There are only a few hundred of us, and we are definitely not opponents! ”

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "You don't use your brains to think about it, how can 40,000 people come all at once?" Even if the four of them line up in a horizontal line, the distance of the team will be ten kilometers, that is, twenty miles, plus there are vehicles and horses in the team, the team does not know how long the road will be, and the commander cannot take care of it no matter where he is, this is a taboo for soldiers! So there must be less than 40,000 people coming! ”

Yu Baoshui's expression softened and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed to the half-built camp with his finger and said, "Build the camp well, and first block the people who are flying dragons." ”

Yu Baoshui then led everyone to build a wooden fence, and Chen Fei asked Lin Yuan: "What should we do?" Could it be that these 200 people are the only ones who can stop them from tens of thousands of horses? ”

Lin Yuan said: "I heard Jiang Huayong say that this Long Tengfei is very close to the British and Russians, and he wants to be the king of the Northwest, maybe he has the support of the British and Russians, since Long Tengfei wants to be a traitor, we don't have to be polite to him, we will fight with Long Tengfei sooner or later, Dasanguan is the gateway to Shaanxi, and whoever can grab it will be able to take the lead." ”

"And the terrain of the Great Scattered Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Long Tengfei made a fatal mistake, that is, only use these points to seize the Great Scattered Pass, and now that the Great Scattered Pass has been captured by us, we have no reason to return it to Long Tengfei, so I decided to hold here, as for the number of personnel, we still have more than 100 people from Wang Xiang, I will send a letter to Yuan Shikai again, let him transfer his elite troops, and we will defend the Great Scattered Pass together!"

Chen Fei said: "Long Tengfei's people are still four hours away, can Yuan Shikai catch up?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "It took us two hours to come here by train, and I asked Yuan Shikai to organize people as soon as possible, believing that they could come over within four hours." ”

Chen Fei said: "Why did you ignore the time to send someone to Yuan Shikai to deliver the letter!" Wouldn't it take two hours to take the train to Yuan Shikai? There won't be enough time that way! ”

Lin Yuan raised the communicator in his hand and said with a smile: "We can use it to find Yuan Shikai directly!" ”

Chen Fei said helplessly: "Yuan Shikai didn't buy our wireless communication equipment!" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "But our medical team has it, the medical team is now in Yuan Shikai's troops, can't we just find Yuan Shikai through them?" After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he contacted Huang Mingtao and said, "Lao Huang, help me find Yuan Shikai, I have important military information to tell him!" ”

Huang Mingtao smiled: "No problem, I'm by Yuan Shikai's side." ”

Then Lin Yuan heard Huang Mingtao's voice coming from the communicator, but the voice was very small, obviously Huang Mingtao was taking the communicator to Yuan Shikai, Huang Mingtao's voice said: "Lord Yuan, use this for you, Lin Shuai wants to talk to you." ”

Yuan Shikai said: "This little thing is radio equipment? Then Lin Yuan heard Yuan Shikai's voice become clear: "Are you Lin Yuan?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, Lord Yuan, there is no time to talk nonsense, I am in Dasanguan now, you hurry up and send someone over, Long Tengfei's troops want to attack Shaanxi from here, there are 40,000 people, and they will arrive in four hours, this is a godsend opportunity for meritorious service, you should do it as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Shikai said: "It's good, I'll send troops over." ”

Lin Yuan turned off the communicator, and Chen Fei asked, "Did you say Yuan Shikai would come?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "How could it not? Hasn't he always wanted to disrupt the bandits? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so let's strengthen our camp and wait for the dragon to take off. ”

Then everyone began to strengthen the camp tent, Wang Xiang's men also came, at this moment, suddenly a burst of smoke and dust rose from the west, I don't know how many cavalry galloped out of the smoke and dust, towards the Dasan Pass, led by the cavalry held high a big banner, on which was written a "Ou" word.

Yu Baoshui hurriedly said to Lin Yuan: "Lin Shuai, please look at the banner of that team, there is a European character written on it, this is the pioneer battalion under Long Dashuai, the battalion commander is surnamed Ou, the name is Lu Hai, he is a native of Cangzhou, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is a fierce general!" And this man has a short temper, and he likes to make fun of us subordinates the most! ”

Lin Yuan was secretly surprised in his heart, and thought, "Just thinking that Long Tengfei would come in four hours, I didn't expect them to send an advance force!" Chen Fei also said on the side: "Their cavalry is coming, what if they find us?" Although we are not afraid to fight them, if they go back and tell Long Tengfei, we will not be able to deal with the arrival of Long Tengfei's army! ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and called everyone to say: "Let's not panic first, do this: Chen Fei, don't move your people first, if they come and ask, they will say that we are from the railway construction team, and we are here to help them build the camp; Wang Xiang's people hid in Guancheng first, no, Guancheng is not safe! You go back to the railroad chariot first. ”

"Then drive the railroad chariots and rail-laying wagons to the back of the distant hillside, and I suppose they will come and see them, and then they will go, and they will not find them; Yu Baoshui, your people will build the camp as if nothing happened, okay, let's go and do it. ”

Everyone agreed to come down and go to prepare, and when Wang Xiang's men went back, those cavalry also went down the mountain, Lin Yuan counted them, and found that there were only fifty-four people, and thought: "There are so few enemies, even if we start, we can kill them all!" ”

Lin Yuan was thinking about it, and saw fifty-four people going up the mountain, Lin Yuan and his subordinates were building a wooden fence on one side, and the gun was hidden in the pile of wooden stakes on the side, and then he saw Yu Baoshui walking in front of the strong man who was the leader, kneeling on one knee, and said loudly: "Yu Baoshui, the head of the subordinate Renzi battalion, meet the battalion commander!" ”

Ou Luhai didn't even look at Yu Baoshui, raised his horsewhip and pointed at Lin Yuan, and asked ill-intentionedly, "What are they doing?" ”
