Browning was not bound by Li Guolou. He held up the battle flag of "Always Victory" with his own words. He had two thousand men and horses. He claimed that he had four thousand men and horses. "Xinwu" and "Changsheng" kept pace with each other. He advanced towards Lincheng and stood for Bai. The team led by Lang Ning turned into the 500 elite soldiers of the Spear Club. Along the way, banners were waved, gongs and drums were loud, swords and guns were everywhere, murderous, and the momentum was overwhelming.
At this time, the Chinese people were full of fear of foreigners. They were afraid of fighting foreigners from the bottom of their hearts. The Qing army had never defeated the foreigners. Even the rebellious Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, Xiaodao Society, and Nian Army were no match for the foreign gun team. So Browning Hold up the "Eternal Victory" battle flag. The villages along the way dare not resist. They are enlightened to welcome the "Xinwu" and "Eternal Victory" army.
Fighting on the plains, even if there were tens of thousands of enemy troops, the Ever Victorious Army still dared to fight. This was a team whose morale had already been improved. It enjoyed a prestigious reputation in the Qing Dynasty. The Ever Victorious Army marched forward with great success and sang loudly:
"Rise up, the great East Asian empire, and fight to the death. We must eliminate the forces of evil. We are the glorious ever-victorious army. We must eliminate all evil gangs. The enemy and we are two extremes. Everything is in the opposite direction. We want light and freedom. They want the rule of darkness. .
The ever-victorious army fights its enemies bravely. It fights back against the executioner. It fights back against the tyrannical plunderers and man-eating beasts.[
The vast fields of the motherland must not be ravaged by the enemy. Rotten demons and ghosts. Watch your head. Unworthy descendants prepare coffins. The victorious army will take your head and drink the blood of the enemy.
The ever-victorious army sacrificed their lives to defend our dear motherland and the great East Asian empire.
Let the noblest iron boots roll like the waves, crushing them to death but not nurturing their descendants. Let us carry out holy wars. God is with us and we will always be victorious."
The lyrics were catchy. After a while, the vanguard of the Changqian Club also began to sing, "The Song of Everlasting Victory."
Two brothers, "Tie Shi" Liu Tanggu and "Ma Gan'er" Du Sheng, were riding astride their horses. They looked like they were the only ones who could give up their favor. They were like people burning incense and worshiping their master. They were doing it for the sake of the Changqian Society. Five hundred A member of the Spear Club. Under the pressure of the Ever Victorious Division, his morale gradually improved. He gained the courage to fight against the Lincheng garrison.
"Xinwu" and "Constant Victory" have become overwhelming. They advance towards Lincheng. No troops along the way dare to take advantage of them. The Sun brothers' garrison fled in the face of the wind.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth. Liu Tanggu's tall and majestic body stood on a hill. Looking at the city wall in the distance, he sighed: "It's a pity that my eldest brother was held hostage by Sun Meifang. Otherwise, I would attack Lincheng now."
"Yes. I hope that elder brother can turn the crisis into safety. If Sun Meifang dares to embarrass my elder brother, I will kill all the young and old in Baizhuang and make the entire Sun family extinct. Hehehehe." Du Sheng was sinister and mean. He was definitely not saying that. Big talk. With the support of the victorious master, after avenging the foreigners, he hides in the embrace of imperialism. Who can resist him?
"Brothers Sun don't have the courage either." Liu Tanggu sneered. Looking at the powerful flag on the city wall, he believed that Lincheng would be captured tomorrow.
Browning asked the Lance Club to take the lead. He had an ulterior motive. The Ever Victorious Army is an army of justice. There are many things that are inconvenient to do. Then let the Lance Club do the burning, killing and looting in order to make a war fortune. It is not easy for foreigners to come to the Qing Dynasty. You can leave it alone in other places. The people in Lincheng are not good people. I am determined to teach the people in Lincheng a lesson. The ever-victorious army covets the wealth of Lincheng and wants to loot Lincheng. This is Chang The motivation for the victorious army to advance.
boom.
A cannon from the Ever Victorious Army fired at Lincheng. With just one cannon, it knocked down the battle flag on the city wall. The battle flag with the word Sun disappeared into the dusk.
.
The officers and soldiers of the Victory Division thousands of meters away cheered in unison. The Victory Army, which used its troops like gods, came to the city. Who could compete with them? Bolt stood arrogantly beside the cannon, pointed at the city wall and said: "The bandits are vulnerable to attack."
.Three-axe skills can’t make a difference. I’ll treat you to live donkey meat tomorrow. Lu Di’s roasted donkey meat is the most famous.”
Du Sheng bowed his head and said with a charming smile: "General Bolt has eaten the most delicious food in the world. Tomorrow I will personally cook and let General Bolt eat the most delicious donkey meat."
"Yeah. I want to eat that piece of meat on my butt. Shandong cuisine ranks first." Bolt drooled. He remembered the celebration banquet for wiping out the Nian Army. He will never forget that Shandong cuisine. People from the Qing Dynasty were eating it.
It was very cruel. But during the war, Bolt followed the local customs and ate roasted donkey meat once. He was hooked.
Du Sheng cursed in his heart: You still want to eat a donkey's butt. If I knew how to fire a cannon, I would blow a big hole in your butt.
"General Bolt is really a French gourmet. I'll let you eat the best of Shandong." Du Sheng kept circling Bolt. His ambitions were extremely high. He was thinking about the territory of Lincheng. If he could take advantage of it,
Lincheng was included in the sphere of influence of the Changqian Society. Even if he bought out his own mother and I, he was still willing to fight for wealth.
"Well... Du Sheng has set up the camp securely. No one is allowed to move even half a step at night. Whoever dares to attack the camp will be killed and pardoned. Killed and executed." Bolt looked down on the groveling Du Sheng. But this kind of slave was in the Qing Dynasty.
They can be seen everywhere. Bolt is not surprised. He uses the 500 men of the Lance Society as a shield and stationed the 500 men of the Lance Society at the most dangerous military forward position.
The Ever Victorious Army originally guarded the country for the emperor and lived a comfortable life in Tianjin Guards. However, Li Guolou asked two thousand Evervictorious Army to fight for the Qing Dynasty. He wanted to consume the strength of this mercenary army. After all, Li Guolou still remembered
There was national hatred, because among those foreign officers, some of them had participated in the Eight-Power Allied Forces, invaded the capital, looted the Old Summer Palace, and brought national humiliation to the Qing Dynasty.[
However, the ever-victorious army is not a vegetarian. The foreigners will also use the enemy to fight the enemy. Bolt quickly found "cannon fodder" on the battlefield. He let the 500 elite soldiers of the Changqian Society take the lead and let the bandits arm themselves to fight against themselves.
Du Sheng and Liu Tanggu returned to camp in a hurry. They were very happy to serve the Changsheng Division. "If you want to get something, you must pay first." Everyone in the world understands this truth. Du Sheng and Liu Tanggu consider themselves better than Boxing Boxing.
It's better than the vermilion lantern. The fortune has turned around. In the future, rewards will be given based on merit. The Changqianshe is the number one contributor to the suppression of bandits. It has thrown the Boxer of Boxing off the road.
Du Sheng and Liu Tanggu encouraged the members of the society in the military camp. They burst into tears. This battle must not bring shame to the Changqian Society. If the Lincheng defenders launch a night attack, the soldiers of the Changqian Society must not escape. They must defend their position even if they die. Wealth and wealth are in danger.
Qiu. Lincheng is about to become a treasure. At this time, running away will be a waste of all previous efforts.
Inspired by Du Sheng and Liu Tanggu, the leaders expressed their determination to stay on the battlefield and follow the Ever Victorious Army to fight. Even if they die, they can go to heaven. In this way, the five hundred elite soldiers of the Changqiang Society cheered up overnight.
I couldn't sleep. I was afraid of a sneak attack by the Lincheng garrison. I could see a ghost figure. Only the patrolling soldiers kept banging their clappers.
A thousand garrison troops on the outskirts of the city still saw traces of the Ever Victorious Army, so they fled back to the city and handed over the fortifications built outside the city to the Ever Victorious Division. When Sun Meifang saw that his men were all fighting, none of his brothers wanted to fight.
Willing to fight with Changsheng Division. Xinwu Army and Changsheng Division coordinate to attack Lincheng. There are at least 4,000 coalition troops. Who dares to fight?
Sun Meifang's men are very fierce. The backbone of his confidants are all bandits. The Lincheng garrison is an army that dares to fight and fight hard. It dares to hit an egg against a rock and a groundworm to shake a tree. It has been trained by the Sun brothers for a long time.
They became a death squad. Unlike militia groups such as the Changqian Society, they would defect at the slightest sign of trouble. However, the Lincheng garrison faced the most serious challenge in the Qing Dynasty.
The two famous armies, the "Everlasting Victory Army" and the "Xinwu Army" are famous names. Whichever battle flag is used has long been known to women and children. It is famous far and wide. The two armies are really famous. The big one
It makes people unable to muster up courage. The characters who usually speak with trepidation in Shandong have all turned into soft-legged crabs. No one is willing to take the lead. They all want to grease the soles of their feet.
Sun Meifang decided to implement the second plan. Three thousand main troops were transferred to Baodu Gu. His younger brother Sun Meijing led a thousand elite troops and was already stationed in Baodu Gu. The two phases should be coordinated in case of failure.
Sun Meifang forgot the most crucial point. Yihequan defected, which caused him to lose his influence in the vast countryside. The geographical advantage he once had suddenly became available. The common people stood with the court. Sun Meifang's idea was very straightforward.
There are men and horses in Baodugu and Weishan Lake to support me. I have three thousand elite soldiers in hand. I have the world at my disposal. While Li Guolou's army is still surrounding Lincheng, Sun Meifang decided to compete with Li Guolou in the mountains the next day.
Li Guolou has a lot of money, cannons, and women. He is the famous "Sanduo General" in the world. He is not willing to be bombarded by Li Sanduo's cannons. It is better not to fight the offensive and defensive battles in the city. It is better to escape and make strategic shifts.
Do not judge victory or defeat based on the gains and losses of one city or one place.
When the two armies encountered each other, Sun Meifang and others immediately led the large army to move. The hundreds of old, weak and disabled people who stayed in Lincheng were just facade soldiers. Lincheng was already an undefended city. Sun Meifang led the army to take a shortcut.
Retreat to the west. Exploring horses and reporting new weapons
The army is still fifty miles away from Lincheng. Several other armies have moved to defend. Zhang Renjun, the governor of Shandong, has come to his senses and issued an order to attack. This made Sun Meifang breathe a sigh of relief. There was a difference of two or three days between his army and the Xinwu Army.
You can rest easy and worry about the journey.
Sun Meifang thought about rebellion. After the kidnapping case, there was a massive expansion of the army. The Lincheng garrison followed the route of elite troops. Now of the 3,000 troops in his team, 1,000 of them are the local militia of Wang Shiren and Wang Yunteng. But this 1,000 troops
The command authority has been taken away by Sun Meifang. The organization has been disrupted.
Sun Meifang lost trust in the Jianghu brothers and left these thousands of troops in Lincheng. He knew very well that as soon as he left Lincheng, these thousands of troops would immediately switch to Li Guolou. Wang Shiren and Wang Yunteng were tied up in the team.
Military power is useless. Wang Shiren is in danger of being shot. He is all alone. He doesn't even have a gun.
The Changqiang Society worked hard to expand its army from the beginning. The three eldest brothers each showed their talents and gathered more than 1,000 troops. Wang Shiren's 500 troops were pieced together here and there. The mine protection team from Zaozhuang was the backbone. Everyone was unfamiliar with each other.
.Now the organization has been disrupted by Sun Meifang. He has become a member of the Lincheng garrison. People's hearts are not in it.
Wang Shiren has been marginalized. He is starving in this army. He sleeps in the open at night without even a blanket. Wang Shiren does not dare to complain. He silently endures inhuman torture and waits for the opportunity to escape.
.
Even though Wang Yunteng was taken away from his military power, the 500 people under him were farmhands from his hometown. The fields in Shandong were distributed by him to these 500 farmhands. He is like the parents of these 500 farmhands. The kindness has already been deep-rooted.
Therefore, Wang Yunteng's military morale was still there. When the five hundred people along the way saw Wang Yunteng, they took off their hats and bowed to him. The Lincheng garrison kept restraining them. Wang Yunteng showed humility as always.
When Sun Meifang saw the battle, she had high hopes for Wang Yunteng. Wang Yunteng's father and Li Guolou were sworn brothers. Although he and Li Guolou were now at war with each other, there was always room for negotiation. So Sun Meifang took Wang Yunteng with him.
He came to his side and was quite polite to Wang Yunteng.
Wang Yunteng was put on this boat and got a lot of benefits. How dare he ask Sun Meifang for a ransom. Sun Meifang had already received hundreds of thousands of ransoms. But he got a share of the benefits. Instead, he paid and worked for Sun Meifang.
Serve, pretend to be a grandson in front of Sun Meifang, and end up with nothing. Wang
Yunteng wished he could revolt on the battlefield immediately. Zhu Hongdeng turned against him first. This made Wang Yunteng even more angry. Li Guolou was his uncle, closer than a real uncle. Now this kidnapping case has no influence on the world or on the ground.
He was even more unjust than Dou E. He turned from a big landowner and powerful man into a kidnapper.
Wang Yunteng still had freedom in life. He rode through the camp and saw Wang Shiren sleeping under a big tree. The night in early spring was very cold. Wang Yunteng couldn't bear it. He took off the blanket from his horse and gently covered Wang Shiren.
.
"Yunteng, it's you." Wang Shiren opened his eyes. A blanket can see people's hearts. It was his nephew who was considerate.
"Uncle, please sleep for a while. I will speak for you." Wang Yunteng held Wang Shiren's hand comfortingly and gave him spiritual encouragement. We should support each other in times of crisis. He is a person who repays kindness. Remember Wang Shiren's kindness to him.
good.
"Well, Sun Meifang doesn't dare to kill me. It's good for everyone. I don't know my brother's temper yet." Wang Yunteng felt warm and his fighting spirit rekindled.
Wang Yunteng nodded and didn't say much. Instead, he took out a bag of food from his sack and placed it at Wang Shiren's feet. He could only do so much. Wang Yunteng bought people's hearts with kindness. Every move he made was for others to see. In fact, he hated Wang Shiren.
It's deep into his bones. But it's not the time for revenge yet. Wang Yunteng secretly applauds himself for being able to pretend like this. Who can see through his tricks?[
When the rooster crows, the troops set off. The bugle is loud. The sentry goes first. The horse team clears the way. The convoy is in the middle. The rear team is at least five miles away from the Chinese army. Keep combat alert. Everything is in order. Sun Meifang leads the troops in a decent manner. It looks like
It is a regular army.
In the Chinese army's convoy, heroines were galloping on horseback. Their young and pretty faces showed the aura of youth. They were a unique sight in the Lincheng garrison. They were also the hundred-man escort team that Sun Meifang was most proud of.
Being escorted by a heroine. What an honor that is.
