After Abdul put on his clothes, he hurried to open the door and saw the panting Kalam. Without asking the reason, he cursed directly: "Idiot, after Zhang Zhidong's people arrived, why didn't they temporarily Stabilize Zhang Zhidong and he will attack directly, don't you know how to delay it for a while?"
Kalam was extremely aggrieved and said innocently: "Sir, it's not that I didn't delay, but Zhang Zhidong didn't give me a chance to delay. After he arrived at the manor with his soldiers, he didn't say hello and directly ordered artillery to attack. ."
Abdul frowned and felt a little thump in his heart.
Could it be that Zhang Zhidong is planning to fight hard.
No, it's impossible.
Abdul directly rejected Zhang Zhidong's idea of fighting head-on, and thought that Zhang Zhidong must have let the artillery attack with such a big fanfare to scare him, deliberately bombing him indiscriminately, and intended to overwhelm him in terms of momentum, and After venting his dissatisfaction, Zhang Zhidong offered conditions for him to surrender.
Yes, yes, it must be covered up.
After Abdul had a definite answer in his mind, he quickly walked outside.
He came to the city wall of the manor and looked at the troops arrayed outside the manor. He was shocked. A rough estimate was that this was at least a team of thousands of people. It was really scary for the other party to bring out such a powerful lineup. Abdul Le did not intend to fight head-on with Zhang Zhidong. In fact, he threatened Zhang Zhidong and said that fighting head-on would be detrimental to Zhang Zhidong, and the same would be true for the Abdul family if they fought head-on.
Nagaland is not a backwater. There is not only the Abdul family, but also many large and small forces, but they are not as good as the Abdul family. If the Abdul family fights with Zhang Zhidong, the family will suffer. After receiving a fatal blow, Abdul believed that the rest of the family would rush forward like hunting dogs and tear Abdul's family apart in a swarm.
This was exactly what Abdul Lao could not bear. He did not want to start a war and believed that the most ideal situation was to maintain the status quo and be on equal footing with the Chinese army.
However, things are often not as good as imagined.
After Abdul looked at it, he knew that the situation was very serious and the Chinese army was very aggressive. If he did not stop it, Abdul's family would definitely suffer huge losses.
Abdul made a prompt decision and ordered: "Immediately raise the white flag and tell Zhang Zhidong that we surrender."
Kalam was stunned, was he going to surrender so soon?
Seeing that Kalam was not moving, Abdul cursed: "Idiot, you still don't follow the order."
"Yes, yes, go right away."
Kalam immediately went to prepare. After a while, a big white flag was erected on the city wall. Under the firelight of the manor, the white flag fluttered in the wind, which was very dazzling. Outside the manor, Zhang Zhidong saw the white flag hoisted on the city tower and grinned. , showing his strong white teeth.
It's too late to think about surrendering now.
Zhang Zhidong ignored the white flag raised by Abdul, looked at the soldiers in the artillery battalion, and shouted: "Intensify the firepower, concentrate the artillery attack, and capture the manor."
At this moment, Zhang Zhidong was excited.
This feels so good.
Before this, Zhang Zhidong had been trembling in Nagaland, thinking that he could not use up all the remaining strength, so he was timid in doing things and felt constrained. However, the more cautious Zhang Zhidong was, the more the opponent became. The more ferocious he becomes, the greater the resistance he encounters. Now that he is attacking with all his strength, he can feel the refreshing feeling, like a heavy rain on a hot summer day, dripping with pleasure.
Zhang Zhidong smiled and said: "Old Guo, what do you think in your heart?"
"Cool."
Guo Songtao spoke concisely and to the point, with a smile on his face.
At this moment, cannons were launching attacks one after another, and the shells were fired into the manor one after another and exploded. Violent explosions were heard in the manor, causing countless guards to be killed. Abdul saw it in his eyes, He was so angry that his eyes were about to burst, and he looked at the Chinese troops outside the manor, his eyes filled with hatred.
These people deceive others too much.
Do you really think he just took care of it?
Abdul could no longer estimate and shouted: "Tear down the white flag and prepare to counterattack."
After Kalam received the order, he immediately issued the order.
The guards in the manor quickly set up their guns, brought out the cannons, and began to attack. Compared with the power brought by Zhang Zhidong, the weapons and equipment used by Commander Abdul's guards were obviously not as good as those of the Chinese army. The only one with an advantage was, It is because Abdul occupies a convenient location and can use the topography of the manor to defend.
Zhang Zhidong stared at the manor and saw that the opponent's firepower began to gather. He once again ordered: "Pay attention to the number of machine guns on the wall of the manor. Aim at the position of the machine gun for me and blow up the machine gun. In addition, there are also machine guns on the manor." We will also concentrate our firepower to blow up the gate, and then we will prepare to launch a fierce attack."
"clear."
The battalion commander nodded and immediately gave the order.
The artillery fire was aimed at the attack, and several shells flew out and landed directly on the machine gun position of the manor tower. Under the violent explosion, not only the soldier who fired the shot was killed, but the machine gun was also damaged.
The gate of the manor was hit by continuous bombings and was crumbling.
Compared with Abdul's artillery, Zhang Zhidong's artillery has an absolute advantage. It has undergone formal training, moves quickly and neatly, and has a very high probability of hitting the target. However, Abdul's artillery has an absolute advantage. They were all wild, without any special training, and had absolutely no accuracy. They were just firing cannons indiscriminately.
"boom,."
Suddenly, the gate of the manor was blown down and fell to the ground, splashing dust all over the place.
Guo Songtao said: "Governor, you can order the general meritorious service to be launched."
Zhang Zhidong shook his head slightly and said: "Lao Guo, let's not be in a hurry. If we wait a little longer, the artillery fire can still have an effect. Let the artillery battalion continue to attack. After destroying the opponent's confidence, we can launch a general attack. In one go, we can "Go to Abdul Manor, what I want is not an Abdul family that is still capable of fighting, but a completely destroyed Abdul Manor."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhidong grinned and said: "The president is right. To deal with such a wolf-like wallflower, you should fight back with ruthless means. Only if you are ruthless than him will he be afraid and worried. , will surrender.”
Guo Songtao stopped persuading him. That was not what he thought in his heart.
Both of them have resentment in their hearts.
Now I have a chance to vent, and I keep attacking.
The war was still going on, and the news of the attack on Abdul's manor spread around in the shortest possible time. At this moment, Abdul's heart sank completely. He had always believed that the power accumulated by his family over the past century was enough to compete. Zhang Zhidong.
After the actual fight, I found that I couldn't stop him at all.
The opponent just bombarded him with cannons, which gave him a huge headache.
Abdul took a deep breath and shouted: "Silva, you rush out of the gate immediately, go to meet Zhang Zhidong, and say that Abdul's family is willing to submit to the Chinese army and ask the other party to stop firing."
Silva is Abdul's nephew and has a high status in the family. When he heard Abdul's words, his face turned pale. He might die if he went out this time. But when he saw Abdul's gloomy face, he
I know if I don't get out, I'm afraid I'll die now.
Immediately, Silva got off the city wall and rushed out carrying a white flag.
