Zhang Tiepian and Zhang Xiaotian are from the same hometown. Both are from Wanglou Township, but their status is very different. Zhang Xiaotian is a landlord, and Zhang Tiepian is a long-term coolie. Originally they did not eat in the same pot, but now they have a common language. The two are sighing that they were not born together. When I met Li Guolou, the star of death
"Brother Xiaotian, you are now playing the role of lobbyist." Zhang Tiepian drank a bowl of ginger soup. A warm current flowed through his internal organs and lungs, and his bones began to feel hot. He knew that there was no fear of his life. He came out of the lake. Zhang Tiepian, who was picked up by the New Armed Forces Army, was arrogant and domineering when he submitted his letter. Many New Armed Forces soldiers remembered him. Even though he was fished out like a drowned rat, some people still recognized him and regarded him as a big shot. Therefore, he was treated like a big shot. Better than other prisoners
"Hey, let's be familiar with Yihequan first. Those bastards from the Changqiang Society are stinky and shameless and have brought shame on us Shandong people. I am now a surrender element who has committed crimes and meritorious service. What will happen in the future depends on Mr. Li's face and actions?" You are not simply an expert from outside the world. I can’t fight with him. Last time, you made fun of me because you thought I was incompetent and let me be humiliated by your crotch. Now you are not the same. In the first sentence, you said that you know Zhang Junjie and you are not afraid of embarrassment." Zhang Xiaotian sighed loudly. He is the modern version of Han Xin, who has endured hardships and is filled with warmth. The good days are right before his eyes. The refugees who escaped from Weishan Island buried all their belongings. He came back this time to dig out all their belongings.
Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaotian himself didn't believe that he was from a landlord's family and was literate. Li Guolou looked at him with admiration. Xu said that he was an official because of his official position as a ninth-grade magistrate. Huang Liang Yimeng
"Hey, I didn't expect to be defeated so quickly. I wanted to fight but I could fight my way out. I could escape anywhere. I didn't expect that Li Guolou and the mosquito ship could capture him without any help. Zhang Junjie is quite generous and submits. He will never be wrong. I'll return it." I have some inventory hidden on the island. Fifty silver coins were given to me by Zhang Junjie. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn’t go back to Sun Guilu. Zhou Tianlun is not a wise master and he actually poisoned his own brother. I am really blind." Zhang Tiepian punched him hard. He actually smashed the wooden wall and was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and glanced at Zhang Xiaotian in embarrassment [
Zhang Xiaotian just pretended that he didn't see it and turned his head to the side and sighed: "The mosquito boats sent by Li Guolou are too powerful. The casualties caused by those blooms are huge, but the most terrifying thing is that the ramming hammer installed on the bow of the ship was rammed." This battle of sinking was simply a one-sided massacre. Fortunately, Li Guolou was so merciful that he didn't kill you in the water."
Zhang Tiepian said happily: "I don't believe that Li Guolou will kill all the residents on the island, but people are afraid that the New Armed Forces will really cause chaos. Now it seems that Li Guolou is still willing to change things for us." Opportunity for renewal”
"The fate of the Sun family is not good. Those who know current affairs are heroes. The people of Wanglou Township have decided to follow Li Guolou." Zhang Xiaotian shouted loudly and deliberately let people outside hear. Witnessing the battle of Weishan Lake made him full of respect for Li Guolou. That was it. He first shouted "Long live" and then the sound of "Long live" resounded through the sky. A burst of footsteps came from far away, making the two of them cautiously shut up.
The wooden door opened and Li Guolou walked into the cabin and said with a smile: "Who is Zhang Tie Pian, a hero from Shandong?"
There were only two people in the room. Zhang Xiaotian stood up knowingly and raised his hand to introduce: "Li Zhentai is my fellow countryman. Zhang Luozi, who is also known as the God's Arm Iron Paddle, is so famous that everyone calls him Zhang Iron Paddle."
"Zhang Tiepian has seen Li Zhentai and hopes that Li Zhentai will take him in." Zhang Tiepian knelt down on one leg and clasped his fists in salute. He did not regard himself as a prisoner, but as a Shandong hero who had defected to his elder brother.
"A good official, I will take you in. I will share the blessings and hardships and be an iron oar. Now that Sun Guilu has escaped and returned to Weishan Island, he is in poverty. I need someone to go deep into the tiger's den to eradicate the root of the disaster. Do you have the guts?" Li Guolou looked solemnly and helped Zhang up. Tie Piao's two clear eyes stared at Zhang Tie Piao with a shocking aura.
Hesitating only for a moment, Zhang Tie Piao bowed his head and bowed: "Li Zhentai thinks highly of me. I will risk my life and never let down Li Zhentai's trust. Either Sun Guilu dies or I die."
"Bring me some wine, I will give you a toast to Zhang Tie Pian. You will be my brother and I will take care of your family." Li Guolou's eyes were filled with tears. His ability to act was innate and moved people inexplicably. A scholar died for his confidant. Even Zhang Xiaotian next to him was so determined that he had the courage to fly to Weishan Island to sweep away the evil spirits for Li Guolou.
Zhang Tie Pian was so heroic that he found four acquaintances of life and death, got into a small boat with five people, four guns, and three swords, and set off for Weishan Island. With the spirit of a hero who never came back, Li Guolou I can’t help but sigh that Shandong has produced heroes since ancient times.
Weishan Island in the drizzle is full of mysterious atmosphere, and the unpredictable people's hearts make people expect miracles to happen.
Under the guidance of Zhang Xiaotian, the Xinwu Army launched an attack on the southern shoal of Weishan Island in the rain. After a violent bombardment, more than a hundred cannons were poured onto the beach. Under the sky, only Li Guolou was willing to waste the cannons. If other warlords could It has to be filled with human life
The command of the raining semaphore failed, and there was a disconnect between the cooperative combat capabilities of the large ships. Small boats were required to pass messages in the middle. This wasted a lot of time. Li Guolou originally wanted to extend the artillery attack and allow five hundred boxers to launch a landing. Some Boxer soldiers were sacrificed in the battle to take a look at the enemy's firepower configuration, but it was quite difficult to dispatch. Time passed by and a decent attack formation was not yet formed.
By the time the twenty sailing ships were in a landing posture, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Li Guolou retreated and the sky was getting darker. The battle was meaningless and the set goal was not achieved. There was not even enough time to consolidate the beachhead position with only a few troops. It is very dangerous to land on an island without a solid position and you will be wiped out by the enemy at night.
Li Guolou ordered the troops to withdraw. Before he could leave, the messenger stopped Ping An, cupping his fists and saluting: "Slowly, Li Zhentai's subordinates believe that the Boxers must be allowed to board the Weishan Island today. Life and death are left to God. He can't control so much anymore." "Five hundred warriors have to risk their lives to land on Weishan Island, otherwise the world will be unpredictable tomorrow and Yihequan will not be able to win the hearts of the people but will scatter."
Li Guolou glanced at the veiled "Vermilion Lantern" and asked, "What do you think of the Vermilion Lantern?"
Zhu Hongdeng (He Xiangu) clasped her fists and said: "Miss Ping'an is right. My five hundred warriors are ready to shed blood for the Qing Dynasty at any time. Please ask the lord to change the military order and attack according to the original plan."
Li Guolou laughed: "I almost underestimated the Five Hundred Warriors. Tell Yang Jinhe not to hold on and fight his way to Weishan Island. Zhang Xiaotian, you can lead the way."
Zhang Xiaotian, who was standing aside, said bravely: "Master, please watch my performance."[
Zhang Xiaotian was quite helpless as he dared to disobey military orders and say "no", which would result in losing his head. He could only take eighty elite soldiers from the Zhuque Society on two sailboats and rush to Weishan Island. The cannons passed by and splashed huge waves. The son whizzed past his ears, and death was by his side. Zhang Xiaotian had no way to retreat and stepped ashore. There was still a way to survive. He was the first to jump into the waist-deep lake water, move the boat and raft, and shouted: "Brothers, move forward for Li Guolou!"
More than 20 sailboats on the lake braved the rain of gunfire and advanced towards Weishan Island. The soldiers shouted "Forward for Li Guolou"
The five hundred warriors of the Boxer Fist fought bravely to start the landing battle in the shallows. They stood in the water and fired at the shore. When they approached the shore, they threw hand grenades one after another. They were greeted by sparse gunfire. It seemed that there were not many enemies.
The boxers who were hit by quilts were lying in the water with blood. The red lake water had corpses floating on the lake. Yang Jinhe looked at the misery around him and stood on the raft, beating the drum desperately. When he got ashore, he was a hero. The reputation of Yihequan spread throughout the world.
If the world fails, then commit suicide
The five hundred warriors who drank the talisman water rushed to the shore with a strange cry as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They held bayonets in their hands and ran towards the place where the gunshots were heard, shouting, "Gods and ghosts make way, invulnerable to bullets."
The five hundred elite soldiers of the Changqian Society are pressing behind. They are the second echelon of the attack. Their ten sailboats are only more than 500 meters offshore and will be dispatched by Li Guolou at any time. General Liu Tanggu looked at Weishan Island and then at the Osprey behind.
Number
Liu Tanggu was in awe of the ferocity of the Boxing Boxer. His brothers charged bravely and hoped that Li Guolou would not use his troops, but he said: "Why doesn't his lord give a military order? I'm so worried."
"
"Third brother, Yihequan, drink the talisman water. Look at that man's momentum. It's enough to scare away all the monsters. I'm afraid I'll really give in to this bitch, Zhu Hongdeng. We have to learn this trick. Otherwise, how can we gain a foothold?" A leader next to him shook his head at the Spear Club.
People are full of resentment towards Boxer Boxing because Boxing Boxing was an organization that was spun off from the Changqian Society and was originally a club.
The Changqiang Society is a non-governmental organization that protects the hometown, and the Boxer Boxing adds a lot of superstitious colors to this foundation, and is very good at packaging itself. Compared with the common people, of course, they believe more in the Boxer Boxing, which can use magic. Now they poach each other and cannot see each other.
Live better than yourself
"It's a pity that the second brother is injured and we have lost a backbone. If the second brother comes forward, will Li Guolou accept the two ingots? It's all because of my good intentions and bad deeds. Look at the Yihe Quan gang who gave the red lantern to Li Guolou.
If you don't accept everything as ordered, then you are a complete hypocrite." Liu Tanggu sighed and lamented that God's will is playing tricks on people. It was only because of his stupidity that he hugged Li Guolou's thick legs and watched helplessly as the Boxer Fist gained the upper hand.
"Third brother, hurry up and ask Li Guolou for a fight. We'll fight again when the battle is decided. If you have any trouble, Li Guolou will not forget the contribution of our Changqian Club." The little boss stared at the battlefield. Although it was foggy and rainy, he was worldly and could see the question.
The crux of the matter
"The herald immediately reported to Li Zhentai that the five hundred warriors from the Long Gun Society have begun to land ashore to request artillery support." Liu Tanggu is even more powerful and will charge forward. Wherever he needs to obey the order and kill him, let's talk about Liu Tanggu's example of beating the big drum boat himself.
Put a green flag on your head and look forward to it
The battle situation was beyond Li Guolou's expectation. The five hundred warriors of the Changqian Society were charging towards Weishan Island. This was the beginning of the war. He could not have expected the course. Li Guolou thought of training two death squads in Shandong. He only used four.
Kojima trained Boxer into a team that dared to fight in hand-to-hand combat. Was this a blessing or a curse for the Qing Dynasty?
Li Guolou could only take advantage of the situation and adjust the attack range of the artillery to continue bombarding the enemy's enemy positions.
Su Yuanchun, Li Yunqing, and Li Yunkai boarded the Osprey to ask Li Guolou for a battle. As soon as the battle became fierce, people's minds would be impulsive. Li Guolou remained unmoved and refused to put more than a thousand new armed forces into the landing battle.
It was his boss, Li Guolou, who was still gritting his teeth and insisting that the casualties were worth it. But allowing the Xinwu Army to bear such so-called casualties was a dereliction of duty by the general.
But the situation was beyond Li Guolou's expectation. A patrolling mosquito ship conveyed news of friendly forces. The Changsheng Army landed from the west of Weishan Island. The Yanzhou Army was seizing the beach from the north. Hannagan led the Beiyang Navy to a great victory and captured the enemy's main warship.
"The Bronze Hammer"
To be honest, Li Guolou's expression was a bit embarrassing. The Xinwu Army generals next to him could see that Li Guolou coughed dryly and exclaimed: "Okay, okay! Even if the friendly forces have won a great victory, they dare to fight at night. What do we, the New Armed Forces, have to fear? Let me kill Weishan."
The island wiped out all the enemies."
"Why did you go early?" Su Yuanchun lowered his head and grunted just enough for Li Guolou to hear, but he was not afraid at all because he had already climbed down the rope ladder.
Several other officers left the command ship and boarded the warship under their command to command and deploy the soldiers to march to Weishan Island overnight.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and it's almost dark. But at this time, the rain has stopped. God helps the New Armed Forces. They can see the lanterns rising on the lake. The light of the lanterns is shining on the Weishan Island. There are even torches. The sound of gunfire is everywhere. Cannons can't be heard.
Sheng Li Guolou stood on the deck, took off his helmet, scratched his head and said to himself: "What's wrong with me? I've figured out so many things."
Zheng Hengdan twirled his whiskers and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to you that Li Zhentai is calm and calm. You are the commander-in-chief. The storyteller will write you up as a god who knows astronomy and geography. You are better than White Snake Langjun."
magic"
Li Guolou sighed softly: "White Snake Master still has merit. This person can read the celestial phenomena and be a star historian. He is still qualified. This time, I will award White Snake Master a first-class merit, and then issue an edict to reprimand him. Let White Snake Master be given a pass."
Read the biography of Zuo Ci in "Three Kingdoms" [
"It's my subordinate, let's do it now." Zheng Hengdan's horrifying expression turned out that Li Guolou had attempted murder. Fortunately, a great victory turned Li Guolou into a merciful and compassionate Bodhisattva. He awarded the White Snake Man the first-class meritorious service.
Mr. White Snake has calculated that the result will be a human head sacrifice to heaven.
Ping An followed quietly and put a scarlet cloak on Li Guolou's shoulders and said softly: "It's windy outside Li Zhentai, so be careful if you catch a cold."
Li Guolou patted Ping An's hand and whispered: "Well, thank you for your hard work."
Ping An blew his breath like orchid into Li Guolou's ear and said: "Brother Xiaolou, I was the first to contribute in the battle on Weishan Island. Don't forget to reward me."
Li Guolou squinted slightly and said what was in his heart. Ping An let the soldiers spill blood on the battlefield for his own selfish interests in the so-called beach battle. Originally, according to the tactics he formulated, the number of casualties in attacking Weishan Island would be very small.
But how to put it? Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Soldiers rely on fighting. In the battle of Weishan Island, several soldiers and horses were trained into bloody death squads. From the perspective of leading soldiers, Ping An is better than him. He is like a bookkeeper.
He was fiddling with the abacus beads and looking at the numbers on the account books, which made people look down on him. Even his subordinates could see his hesitation.
Li Guolou kissed Ping An's cheek and said with a wicked smile: "Well, I want to reward you and let you ride on me tomorrow."
Angrily, Ping An used his hammering skills to hit Li Guolou's chest with two pink fists.
