After Gobard returned to the camp, he told the envoys and commanders of various countries about the news that Lu Shaochuan was leading the army to fight. The people in the camp immediately cheered and were very happy, and they were all excited that Lu Shaochuan was going to pursue him.
Ma Hui said: "This person Lu Shaochuan, he..."
Gobad's heart tightened and he asked: "Mr. Ma Hui, is there any problem?"
Ma Hui pointed at Adams and Russell and said: "When Lu Shaochuan was in Shanghai, Mr. Russell and Mr. Adams should have been deeply impressed. They also had the most contact with Lu Shaochuan. Please talk about it. Lu Shaochuan, can he take down brothers Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong?"
Russell said: "Lu Shaochuan was a bandit in his early days, but he was still capable."
Adams also said: "Well, my ability is not bad."
Stopsilin said: "I also know Lu Shaochuan. He and another man named Long Ao went to Vladivostok to hide secretly and organized soldiers to resist our army. Later, Li Zhen arrived in Vladivostok in person, and Lu Shaochuan was there Under the leadership of Li Zhen, Vladivostok was captured, and he also defeated Mr. Muravyov, the governor of Eastern Siberia appointed by His Majesty the Tsar. Lu Shaochuan is capable, and with the weapons equipped by Li Zhen, he should be able to capture Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong."
The three people spoke, and the others felt a little relieved after listening.
A group of people were waiting for news about Lu Shaochuan.
…
To the west of Fuchun City, the army of brothers Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong.
At this time, the army was still speeding up.
Xi Changzhen followed Xi Yinglong and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Liu Jintang's army launched a feint attack, then feigned failure, and has now retreated. I estimate that this may be for foreigners to see. It seems that Li Zhen really intends to Let us leave, and when we arrive in India, we will have another chance to develop our strength."
Xi Yinglong said: "Brother, I admire Li Zhen very much."
"Oh, what do you mean by this?" Xi Changzhen asked.
Xi Yinglong said: "If it were my enemy, once the enemy was surrounded, I would definitely use all means to kill the opponent and completely solve the trouble. However, Li Zhen's army surrounded Fuchun City, as long as Li Zhen He attacked Fuchun City with fierce firepower. I believe Fuchun City still cannot be defended. After all, we are not strong enough to stop Li Zhen’s firepower."
After a pause, Xi Yinglong continued: "However, Li Zhenming knew that we were rivals and enemies, and yet he dared to let us go to India. I do not have such courage. People say that heroes use force to break the ban, maybe because of me It’s because he is a warrior, he values pleasure and grudges, so it’s difficult to have a character like his.”
Xi Changzhen said: "Your Majesty, don't belittle yourself, you are no weaker than Li Zhen."
Xi Yinglong shook his head slightly and refused to admit it.
Xi Changzhen said again: "Your Majesty, we just don't have enough weapons."
Xi Yinglong looked up at the sky and sighed: "Compared to Li Zhen, I am far behind. Think about it, when Li Zhen first showed his prominence, it was in Jiangbei Camp. At that time, Li Zhen was just a little kid. The officer was so inconspicuous that no one would care. If I remember correctly, it was the third year of Xianfeng's reign. What was my position at that time? I was already in charge of the first army in Guangxi."
"However, after so many years, I have been stagnant, but Li Zhen rose to the top and formed his own army. In addition, Li Zhen also vigorously innovated firepower, equipment, and trained soldiers after imitating foreign countries, making the army a domestic The most powerful army, at the same time, look at his methods, he easily destroyed Hong Xiuquan, destroyed Yi who usurped the throne and established himself, and then established a new country."
"Although we are in Vietnam, we often get domestic news."
"The country today is different from the past."
"With the absence of the emperor, and the courts arresting corrupt officials everywhere, the people's lives have gradually recovered, and the country's strength has also been rapidly improved. Such a person who has made great contributions to the people, the country, and the nation is Can I compare? Compared to Li Zhen, I am far behind. The more I interact with Li Zhen, the more I admire him."
After Xi Changzhen heard this, he remained silent.
From Xi Yinglong's words, he heard some hidden meanings.
In this battle, Li Zhen knocked out Xi Yinglong's spirit of competition for hegemony.
Xi Changzhen was silent for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty, let's not think about so many things for now. We must get rid of Li Zhen's army as soon as possible and go to India to establish our own foundation."
"Report,."
A loud shout filled with panic came from behind.
The soldier ran over, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Li Zhen's army was discovered in the rear. According to the sentinel investigation, the pursuers were not led by Liu Jintang, but by Lu Shaochuan, another general under Li Zhen's command. , and the other side's soldiers are armed with the most powerful weapons. If there is a firefight, our army will immediately face threats."
Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong were stunned, their faces froze.
Just now, he praised Li Zhen, but now Li Zhen has sent a new army.
what to do.
Xi Yinglong looked at Xi Changzhen and asked, "Brother, what do you think we should do?"
Xi Changzhen said: "What is supposed to come will eventually come. Since Li Zhen doesn't want us to leave, let's fight a tough battle with him. We will fight even if we die to teach Li Zhen a lesson."
Originally, Xi Changzhen's determination to die had disappeared.
But Lu Shaochuan came with his army and brought large weapons, which made Xi Changzhen feel even more pressure.
Xi Yinglong nodded and ordered: "Deploy defenses immediately and prepare for battle."
After the order was issued, the soldiers of the army began to use the terrain on the site to set up combat fortifications and actively prepare for war. In about forty minutes, the soldiers of the army were in their positions and all were ready. Within an hour, there was movement from the front of the fortifications. Xi Yinglong looked through Through the telescope, I saw an army galloping towards me.
After Xi Yinglong saw it, he felt a little strange.
This army not only carries a large number of machine guns, but also boxes of ammunition.
It looks like a large-scale battle is going to happen.
Xi Yinglong looked serious and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order, all the soldiers are waiting for my order. Only when I give the order to shoot will they be allowed to shoot. Let's put the enemy in slightly before shooting. This will be more lethal." ." After a pause, Xi Yinglong added: "Also, order all soldiers to mount bayonets. Once we attack at close range, we can only fight with all our strength."
At this moment, Xi Yinglong was ready to fight Lu Shaochuan.
The distance is gradually getting closer.
Xi Yinglong's heart calmed down instead, he was neither happy nor sad.
Whatever is supposed to come will come sooner or later.
When the distance between the two sides narrowed to less than a hundred meters, Xi Yinglong clearly saw the situation ahead through the telescope, and the surrounding soldiers also saw it. The next moment, everyone opened their eyes wide, and Xi Yinglong even exclaimed.
