Under the command of the commander, more than a dozen soldiers rushed towards the “steel monster”.
However, this big “iron lump” is airtight and invulnerable to weapons.
What’s more terrifying is that his body is full of holes.
In the blink of an eye, the bullets fired from the car sent these stupid “cannon fodder” back home.

Biao Tong watched as his subordinates were knocked down and crushed by the steel monster before they could even get close to him. He yelled in anger:

“One more whistle, I don’t believe I can’t break it open!”

Military orders are like mountains, and a higher-ranking official can crush people to death!

The sentry leader could only lead 42 young soldiers, crouching and rushing forward.

In the face of technology, the courage of the brain-dead flesh and blood can barely be called “tragic”.
“Fuck, these court dogs are endlessly slain!

Comrades, give them a good smack on their sand cans!”

Qiu Sanfeng rushed to the front line, ignoring the bullets fired from all directions.
While shouting, he used the machine gun on the roof to fire fiercely at the moving targets he could see.

“Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!”

The column leader Xiao Yue was not as “crazy” as this guy. He was in the second echelon, commanding and dispatching in the middle.
He found that half of Qiu Sanfeng’s body was exposed outside the car, and he couldn’t help but laugh and scold:
“This madman really doesn’t care about his life when fighting…”

However, it was this “madness” that intimidated the First Brigade’s defense forces.
Qiu Sanfeng led a dozen armored assault vehicles to forcibly break through the second line of defense.
When they rushed into the enemy’s position, they turned their guns and fired fiercely at both sides.

Li Jinglin’s First Brigade was stationed at Tianwang Temple and had little knowledge of the enemy’s situation.
After a day of forced march, everyone was exhausted. Coupled with the continuous victories, everyone from top to bottom was indeed arrogant.
Therefore, the grassroots soldiers were quite perfunctory in building fortifications.

Anyway, we will set off after a good sleep, so we can just fool around and be done with it.

We are the Third Town with great military power. Who would touch the tiger’s butt with his head caught in a beautiful elevator?

Therefore, the trench, which should have been 1.5 meters deep, was less than 50 centimeters.

The land was plowed by artillery fire again, and almost turned into white ground. The armored vehicles ran over it directly.

The earthen walls of the trench were very thin, and they collapsed and broke apart at the slightest collision with the armored vehicles.
Under such circumstances, Li Jinglin’s eastern defense line was completely unable to withstand the attack.

Even the commander of the defense was dragged back to the center by his men.

The commander fled, and the lower-level officers and soldiers had no intention of resisting, and a rout was inevitable.

Qiu Sanfeng occupied the second-line position and had a brief discussion with Xiao Yue.
To do it once and for all, just beat the slow with the fast.

“Go straight to Huanglong Mansion”, rush into the central army tent, capture Li Jinglin and end the battle.

Qiu Sanfeng immediately led 30 assault vehicles, chasing the fleeing soldiers and continuing to charge towards the core position.

The three regiment commanders arrived at the second-line position and swept to both sides.
Three yellow flares were fired at the same time to notify the first and second regiments to cooperate.
Seeing the signal flare, Zhu Yingjun knew that success or failure depended on this move.
Without hesitation, he gave the order for a general attack to the First and Second Regiments which were ready to go!
In the night sky of Tennoji, thunderous slogans resounded through the sky.
“Defeat the Speedy Marching Army and capture Li Jinglin alive!”

The officers and soldiers of the First Brigade of the Third Town were terrified, and many of them were dragged away by the fleeing soldiers and retreated westwards…

When Qiu Sanfeng rushed into the central army tent,

The place was in chaos. Li Jinglin and his staff disappeared without a trace.
“Ma, you are as good as a guy with greased soles, you are running fast! Keep chasing!”

The battle has ended, the winner has been decided!
At dawn, Zhu Yingjun received battle reports from various units.

They are all “in pursuit…”

According to preliminary statistics, more than one thousand enemy soldiers were killed or wounded, more than three thousand were captured, and more than two hundred of our own casualties occurred. It was a great victory!

At this moment, a messenger on a bicycle suddenly rushed over.
“Deputy Commander Qiu of the Armored Column has captured Li Jinglin and his entourage!”

“boom!”

The staff and officers of the headquarters cheered.
Once “Li Paopao” is captured, the annihilation campaign will be complete!
Zhu Yingjun laughed and said, “Great! Now I can finally deal with Wang Zhen with peace of mind!”

At this time, Wang Zhen, as the commander of the third town,
He led 7,000 troops and had just left the Jiangning camp.

We had walked less than ten miles when a scout came running up to us anxiously to report:

“Reporting to the commander, the First Brigade was besieged and defeated by the heavy troops from the Far East in Tianwang Temple, and Commander Li is missing…”

Wang Zhen was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

A group of senior officers stared at each other in amazement.

what! ?

The Far East Army took action?

Li Jinglin’s First Association was “encircled”?

That was six or seven thousand troops and a reorganized artillery target… and they were destroyed in one night?
No, not possible!
Wang Zhen held the whip tremblingly, pointed it at the scout horse, and screamed:
“Nonsense! Where did you get this information?”

The fact is that the Far Eastern Army’s strategy of encircling three sides and leaving one side behind can certainly achieve greater results.

However, the more clever officers and soldiers of the First Regiment escaped on horseback.

The scouts who had advanced thirty miles ahead ran into the fleeing troops.
After getting the general news, he ran back to report to Wang Zhen as soon as possible.

Wang Zhen calmed down, stopped the advance, and carefully questioned the defeated troops who had escaped from the front line.

After some investigation, the generals were very suspicious that this coward was “talking nonsense”.
What kind of overwhelming artillery fire is washing the ground?

One shot knocked out the entire artillery position…

There is also an “invulnerable” steel monster.

So many soldiers could come out of the stomachs of those steel monsters… It’s totally unbelievable!

However, Wang Zhen was a veteran general after all, to be able to become one of the six great commanders.

Regardless of whether it is some mysterious hysterical nonsense, it is highly likely that the First Association will be defeated.

The key is, what to do now?
The third regiment had an excess of 20,000 troops.

However, Wang Zhen, who was blindly optimistic, committed a major military taboo by dispersing his forces.
In addition to Li Jinglin’s 7,000 troops, there were also 4,000 troops from the Second Division who were deployed by water.
In addition to the 7,000-man headquarters and the 2,000-man logistics battalion,

At this moment, Li Jinglin’s troops were defeated in one night.
As a result, the third town was torn apart and could not form any joint force… What should we do?
Li Jinglin quickly issued an order:

“The entire army turns around and returns to the Jiangning camp, gathers the defeated soldiers, and notifies the Second Brigade to withdraw…”

After hearing this, the generals understood that this was called “showing weakness to the enemy and using stillness to control movement”.
But, their hearts are still tangled.
From the flower of the army to the defeated retreat, the ups and downs were too fast… Many people couldn’t accept it!
But Wang Zhen frowned and gave an explanation.

“The ambush on Li Jinglin must have been done by the Far East bandit chief.

They have 40,000 to 50,000 troops, and have the advantage of geographical location and people. It is better for us to be cautious than to lose our heads!
Everything will be discussed after I have consulted Yuan Zhongtang!”

He immediately wrote a letter, sent it to the Jiangnan Town Army Headquarters by express horse, and
That evening, Yuan Xiangcheng, who had arrived in Yangzhou, was shocked to receive Wang Zhen’s battle report.

He knew very well that the Third Town was definitely a model for the town army.

Li Jinglin’s first team dared to charge and fight.
I never expected that a group of 7,000 people couldn’t even hold out for half a night…

Therefore, Wang Zhen’s judgment that the Far East Army had deployed all its troops was quite credible.

So, should we cross the river now and engage in a decisive battle with the enemy’s main force?
Fight well, one battle will decide the outcome, and you will be promoted to a higher position.
But if I can’t fight well…it’s unlikely!
No matter how powerful the Far East Army is, they are still mortals. One shot will leave two holes in their bodies!

However, one or two towns surrounded Fengyang Prefecture.
We are going to start fighting in the next two days to completely eradicate this annoying nest of traitors.
After much deliberation, Yuan Xiangcheng made a decision.

First south then north, first easy then difficult,
First, capture Fengyang Prefecture and destroy Wu Ziyu.

With more chips in hand, we can march north and cross the river, and the battle will be easy!
“Order! Town One and Town Two will launch an attack immediately. Take Fengyang within two days at all costs…

The third town retreats and must hold on to the Jiangning camp… The fourth town outflanks the easternmost side at full speed and attacks it to save it!” Then, he looked at Sun Fang and Zhang Yuanli,

“Xinyuan, you must cross the river immediately, reinforce the Third Town, and hold back the main force of the Far East Army!”

“Yes!”

Sun Fang immediately led his troops across the river.

Yuan Xiangcheng continued to give orders: “Shaoxuan, do you dare to take a detour through Tongzhou, cross the river and attack the Far East’s nest?”

Zhang Yuanli laughed loudly: “Go back to the hall, what is there for me to be afraid of?”

Yuan Xiangcheng said loudly: “Okay! Go ahead. I’ll be waiting for your good news in Jiangning in two days!”

As the military commander, this set of subordinates, under normal circumstances, basically there is nothing wrong,

But, the fatal thing is that Lu Yuan is not just an ordinary person.

After Zhu Yingjun and Wang Laowu set off, he mobilized all six field regiments and deployed them to Jiangnan.

The two regiments went upstream by water, passed through Jiangning and landed on the south bank to assist Wu Ziyu, the brother-in-law in Fengyang.

The three regiments crossed the river through Tongnan Wharf and marched towards Yangzhou.
The last regiment went straight to Jingkou, crossed the river and launched a surprise attack on the heart of Yangzhou.

Therefore, before Zhang Yuanli’s Sixth Regiment reached Taizhou, it ran into four regiments of the Far East Army.
Zhang Yuanli didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking it was a small harassment unit of the Far East Army.
With the idea of ​​”hunting rabbits by catching grass”, he left and prepared for a frontal attack.

Opposite the Sixth Town is the Far East Old Fourth Regiment.
When Captain Li heard that the Sixth Town was across the street, he almost laughed out loud.
“It’s my destiny to get rich today!
Comrades, fight with all your might. If anyone slacks off, I’ll beat him up!”

The Far East Army is different from ordinary armies. Both officers and soldiers have a strong desire to fight.
So all the battalion and company commanders happily took their positions, and the two sides quickly escalated into a fierce battle.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Zhang Yuanli found that he could not defeat his opponent at all.

The next moment, he was stunned.
Oh my god, why are there more and more rebels? They are everywhere…

This is clearly the main force of the Far East Army!
Did Wang Zhen lie about military intelligence?
Or did the Far East Army force the Third Town to retreat, make a feint, and then suddenly cross the river to the south?

But no matter what, the two follow-up regiments of the Far East Army arrived.

It was almost like a “closing the door and beating the dog” situation for him, he had to run away!
He has more than 12,000 people under his command.
The combat power is only third-rate among the six towns.

He was surrounded and beaten by three regiments of the Far East Army and the artillery regiment. He was beaten so badly that he didn’t even recognize his parents.
Seeing the critical situation, Zhang Yuanli decisively abandoned his rook to save his pawn.
He led more than a thousand personal guards, broke out of the encirclement, and escaped.

He fled all the way back to Yangzhou, in order to shirk the responsibility for the defeat.
Zhang Yuanli decisively scolded Wang Zhen for being shameless.
It is said that he was ambushed by at least six main force regiments from the Far East in Taizhou.

Yuan Xiangcheng asked: “Where are your troops?”

“Most of the troops have been defeated. I’m in a hurry to come back and report the military situation… Zhongtang, retreat quickly…”

Old Yuan felt heartbroken. More than 10,000 people were gone in such a confused manner?
However, the next moment, another bad news came.
“In the north of Yangzhou, the Far East Rebels’ main force, the Fifth Regiment, seized the ferry and charged towards the city!”

Old Yuan’s body swayed and he almost fell down.
Although he was the commander-in-chief, all six troops were sent out.

Right now, the Yangzhou camp only has a thousand guards and several thousand baggage troops…

As for Zhang Yuanli’s defeated army, they were no different from quails…

With a long sigh, Lao Yuan had to give up Yangzhou and take the route to Fengyang, where at least the first and second towns were located.

Because they ran too hastily, the huge amount of military supplies of the Six Garrisons of the Imperial Court fell into the hands of the Far East Fifth Regiment.
Captain Li of the Fourth Regiment was a step late. He looked at the piles of supplies and drooled.
“Kong Erlangzi, we two brothers have made a fortune!”

Captain Kong said unhappily, “Who are you with?”

Captain Li took out his pipe from his pocket:
“Look at what you said. When doing business together, the profits should be shared equally.

Don’t worry, I won’t take more than I deserve. I’ll just take what belongs to me!”

Captain Kong glared and pushed the other person’s hand away:

“Get out of the way! Lao Li, I’m telling you,
This batch of supplies is not a bag of cigarettes, so whoever smokes it doesn’t smoke it.”

Soon, the Chief of Staff Jiang Songpo arrived in a truck.

“If you continue to make trouble, you two will be disqualified from participating in the war. Hand over the supplies to the military police captain Ding. I will give you 15 minutes to rest and get going quickly!”

Captain Ding said to the two regiment leaders with a smile:
“Lao Li, Lao Kong, thank you for your hard work. That’s enough! Leave this to me. You don’t have to do anything…”

Jiang Songpo drove away.
Lao Li and Lao Kong were so angry that they wanted to find Lao Ding to argue with him.

Captain Ding said mysteriously:
“Are you two stupid? Why don’t you hurry to Fengyang?
As long as we capture Yuan Datou, the imperial court will be overthrown, the commander-in-chief will be crowned emperor, and we can all get the credit for following the dragon!”

Old Li and Old Kong’s eyes lit up. Oh, that’s really true!
So, they gathered their troops with great enthusiasm and marched towards Fengyang.
Under the city of Fengyang, Yuan Xiangcheng and Zhang Yuanli entered Duan Rui’s central army tent in a panic.

Before they could catch their breath, Duan Rui and Feng Zhang complained bitterly.
“Wu Ziyu was about to collapse, but two main regiments from the Far East suddenly came to reinforce…”

Yuan Xiangcheng was stunned.
“Where does the main force come from?”

Duan Rui and Feng Zhang swore solemnly,
The flags of the 6th and 7th Far East Regiments were clearly visible on the top of Fengyang City!

At this time, Sun Fang’s messenger came to report.
The Jiangning camp was under siege by four or five main regiments. The battle was in danger and reinforcements were needed!
The next moment, Cao Jinkun’s messenger arrived late.

“In Huzhou, our troops were blocked by four or five Far East main force regiments.

At the same time, the local militia in Huzhou is causing serious guerrilla harassment. We are requesting reinforcements!”

Yuan Datou really has a big head.
Niang Xipi!
Could it be that the Far East Army secretly expanded by ten regiments?
Impossible, the envoys from Izu and the Golden Horde,

Clearly, he had found out everything about the Far East Army…

A mighty army of 100,000 has now suffered heavy casualties and is in disarray. The enemy’s situation is unclear. How can we fight this battle?
Fortunately, Zhang Yuanli observed the situation and tried his best to comfort his boss.
“The first and second towns are both elite troops, with about 40,000 men.

As long as we hold our ground, it won’t be easy for the Far East rebels to win!”

Duan Rui nodded and said:

“You can order the Fourth Regiment to return and rescue Jiangning.

As long as the Jiangbei garrison can turn the tide and cross the river to attack the rebels, we can turn the tide!”

When these words came out, everyone felt like they had found a life-saving straw.

Yuan Xiangcheng pondered for a moment, nodded helplessly, and said:

“In that case, let’s do it this way!”

But, the above sentence makes me run around.

Cao Jinkun’s troops of the Fourth Town were blocked in Huzhou by Wang Laowu, unable to advance or retreat, and suffered terribly.

Whether he was bombarding the ground with artillery fire or charging with a sea of ​​men,

The Far East Army’s position on the opposite side remained unmoved. On the contrary, the enemy seemed to have more artillery shells than them.
What’s even more annoying is that the guerrillas organized by Xu Qiu and his partner in Huzhou,

“When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack.” This made the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Town feel uneasy and restless.
In fact, after entering Huzhou, Xu Qiu implemented the strategy of “fortifying the city and clearing the countryside”.

The logistics supply of the Fourth Town is getting less and less.
With 15,000 troops, the daily consumption of food and rations was alarming, and they were about to collapse.
Suddenly, an old friend walked into the military camp and asked to see Cao Jinkun.

“Jiang Ziyi? What is he doing here…” (End of this chapter)
