Just when Chengjiachang was engaged in a bitter battle, the fifth and sixth battalions of the Chinese Army, under the unified command of Yang Sen, secretly moved towards Yibin.
For Rong County, this was a troop movement to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but for Yang Sen, it was a God-given opportunity!
If you want to gain a firm foothold in the military government, gain the appreciation of the governor, and rise to prominence from then on, the success of this battle will play a decisive role.
At this time, it was only half a day's journey from Yibin. The fierce battles in the direction of Rongxian and Chengdu attracted almost all the attention of the Sichuan Qing army, but they did not encounter any enemies along the way!
However, Yang Sen is still very aware of his situation. Although the main force of the Qing army has been attracted to Rong County, Yibin still has a part of the patrol battalion stationed. Although he claims to have the strength of two battalions, after supplementation, in fact, he only has the strength of two battalions.
Five hundred men and guns.
You can imagine the difficulty in using five hundred men's guns to attract the attention of the Qing army.
"There are probably three to four hundred patrol battalions in Yibin." Wang Zanxu, who was in charge of reconnaissance, ran back, sweating profusely.
"Three or four hundred?"
"Well, I personally conducted the reconnaissance, so I can't be wrong."
Yang Sen pondered for a moment: "It is not difficult to capture Yibin, but the key is how to attract Duan Fang."
"Isn't that easy?" Wang Zanxu disagreed: "Wouldn't it be enough to just capture Yibin?"
Yang Sen shook his head: "After conquering Yibin, Duanfang must think that there is no value in rescuing it. When confronting the Qing army in Yibin, Duanfang thinks that Yibin can be defended, but he will not save it."
"Then take Yibin first, and then go straight to Jiading. I don't believe that the rules will not save you!"
Sen shook his head: "We only have the strength of these 500 people. This is the capital for us to stand firm. Jiading is not as good as Yibin. We may be surrounded. If we lose these 500 people, we will be nothing."
Neither is this, nor is that. Wang Zanxu is a little confused as to what Yang Sen wants to do.
The corners of Yang Sen's mouth turned up, as if he was already confident.
Yibin's aide, Han Shoushi, was walking back and forth a little distractedly, and it seemed that he could still faintly hear the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Rong County.
No, hallucination, it is impossible for the sound of gunfire from Rong County to reach here.
However, God knows when those damn revolutionary parties will attack here.
Speaking of which, Han Shoushi looked down on Wang Hengyue very much. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and is now forty-two years old. He has no backing and no money to show his respect, so he has never been given the opportunity to be promoted. He has worked hard for twenty-four years.
, it took him twenty-four years to reach the position of leader. Why did Wang Hengyue rise so quickly?
The imperial court does not need a loyal military commander like himself, but instead uses a military commander who has returned from the West. Is it possible that nothing will happen?
"Han Gang, people from Seventeen Towns are here."
A report interrupted Han Shoushi's train of thought: "From Seventeen Towns? What are they doing here?"
"Chengjiachang in Rong County has been conquered. Lord Duanfang's Hubei New Army is uniting with the Seventeenth Town to attack Longxian. Some of the rebels are routed towards Jiading, Yibin and other directions. On the order of Lord Zhu Qinglan, reinforcements are sent to Jiading and Rongxian to round up the rebels.
!”
The defeat of Rong County was expected by Han Shoushi: "Have you asked about the serial number and the name of the officer?"
"Ask and verify it's correct!"
"Okay!" Han Shoushi put on his military uniform: "Let's go and welcome him with me!"
There seemed to be about a hundred people standing at the gate of the city, led by two young officers. Han Shoushi hurriedly greeted them: "Han Shoushi, the leader of Yibin, may I ask you two?"
"Guan Yang from the Seventeenth Town, help the king!" The two officers were so careless that they didn't even bother to look at Han Shoushi.
Han Shoushi was annoyed. How could there be any reason to have a higher surname than others? Looking at the ages of the two of them, he guessed that they probably came up through the door, and he felt even more unsatisfied.
They don’t even have braids. Although I heard that there are many people who cut braids in the New Army, they don’t even have braids. They don’t look like officials of the Qing Dynasty!
But the other party was a leader and a member of the new army. He was just a patrol battalion helper and could not afford to offend him. Han Shoushi was aroused, and he forced a smile and asked, "I wonder if there is a place where I can work for the leader?"
"There is a rebel group in Yibin Patrol Camp, don't you know?"
Yang Guandai's words shocked Han Shoushi: "What? Chaotic party? Absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Yang Guandai sneered: "This is not your decision, nor is it mine! This is Commander Zhu Tong's order! Han Gangdai, please gather all your people together!"
Han Shoushi was a little scared in his heart. If a rebel gang really broke out in his patrol camp, it would be no joke! Rong County was already there, and if another trouble occurred in Yibin, his head would be at risk!
The patrol battalion in Yibin was quickly gathered together, and it was strange to see a bunch of new troops eyeing them.
"Put down all your weapons!" Yang Guandai said with a cold face.
The patrol battalion looked at each other, and Han Shoushi hurriedly said: "Put it down, put it down, put it all down, put it all down!"
The weapons were all concentrated, and a smile finally appeared on Yang Guandai's stern face. He turned to Han Shoushi and said: "Han Gangdai, do you know my name?"
Han Shoushi shook his head inexplicably. Yang Guandai pointed at himself first, and then at Wang Bangdai: "My name is Yang Sen, and his name is Wang Zanxu."
"oh"
Han Shoushi felt that these two names were familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, his expression suddenly changed.
Yang Sen? Wang Zanxu! Aren’t they the two who turned against each other before the Seventeenth Town Formation?
Just as he was about to shout, two cold muzzles were already pointed at his head. Looking over there, the brothers were all pointed at the other side's dark muzzles.
"Yang Sen, Wang Zanxu, rogue party, rogue party!" Han Shoushi yelled: "I, Mr. Han, swear to be loyal to me, the Qing Dynasty! I am a member of the Qing Dynasty in life, and a ghost of the Qing Dynasty in death!"
Before he could finish his words, gunfire rang out.
Han Shoushi covered his chest and fell down
Yang Sen wiped the muzzle of the gun on his body, looked at the stunned soldiers of the patrol camp, and said coldly: "Find thirty people to kill, find two more people, and give away thirty-one heads along with Han Shoushi's."
Go to Duanfang."
"What?" Wang Zanxu was shocked when he heard this: "Zi Hui, think again. This, this is thirty lives!"
"Kill!" Yang Sen didn't think much about it at all: "Kill them to make Duan Fang angry! Thirty good heads were placed in front of Duan Fang. If Duan Fang didn't divide his troops and come to Yibin, would he still have prestige in front of the soldiers?
"
Wang Zanxu seemed to recognize Yang Sen for the first time. He stared blankly for a long time and finally nodded slowly.
The Qing army soon erupted into bursts of miserable cries.
Thirty heads were neatly placed in front of Duanfang. Duanfang was stunned. Even the gunshots and shouts of killing outside could no longer be heard.
"Who did this?" Duan Fang managed to calm down his emotions.
"He, he said his name is Yang Sen."
"Yang Sen? This bitch!" Zhu Qinglan was furious: "This man was originally from our Seventeenth Town. He surrendered to the enemy before the war and deserved death! Now he has killed thirty-one more people. It is unforgivable and unforgivable!"
"
"Two adults." The soldier who was released from Yibin to deliver the message was frightened: "Yang Sen also said that he was waiting for the two adults there, and if the two adults did not arrive in one day, he would chop off the heads of thirty brothers!
Sir, he really does what he says, please save our brothers!"
Duan, with a livid face, was walking back and forth, then suddenly stopped: "How many people are there?"
"There are always about five or six hundred people."
"This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain, surround Wei and rescue Zhao Na." Duan Fang let out a long sigh.
"Sir." Zhu Qinglan stepped forward and said: "Everyone knows that he is besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, but now the brothers outside know about it, God knows where Yang Sen will go next. The brothers were not going well in the attack, and now this has happened
On the other hand, who of our brothers is not worried about something happening to his hometown? Even if we are to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, we have to divide our forces."
Duan Fang was agitated, Yang Sen's move was too poisonous!
He clearly puts his plan in front of you and tells you what he is going to do next, but you know it is a plan, but you still have to jump in!
Once morale is lost, it will be difficult to lead the troops!
The 2,000 new Hubei troops he brought with him had already suffered a lot of casualties in a day's fierce attack. This made Duan Fang finally realize that Rong County was not so easy to break, nor could he do it with the strength of the 2,000 men he brought.
, we still have to rely on the Sichuan New Army!
Now, if something like this happens, if we don't divide our troops to rescue Yibin, if we can't capture Yang Sen, who of the Sichuan New Army will still obey us, and who will be willing to sacrifice our lives for us?
There he sighed: "Zhu Tongzhi, what do you think should be done?"
Zhu Qinglan said hurriedly: "Rescue Yibin quickly, rescue our brothers, and stabilize the morale of the army!"
"How to rescue quickly?"
Zhu Qinglan thought for a moment: "Yang Sen has five to six hundred men in his hands and plenty of weapons. If he wants to kill them quickly, he must mobilize two thousand men!"
Duan Fang hesitated.
Two thousand people? Once two thousand people are transferred from here, the power here will inevitably be even more dispersed.
"Sir, you can't hesitate any longer." Zhu Qinglan said eagerly: "If you delay for one day, the morale of the army will be weakened. Please allow me to personally lead 2,000 people and set off on both sides. We can come back in two days!"
"Just two days?"
"Yes, two days!" Zhu Qinglan nodded affirmatively: "Yang Sen will never dare to fight me head-on. Once he sees my army coming, he will definitely give up Yibin! Our purpose is just to save Yibin and rescue the patrols.
Camp!"
Duan Fang pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind: "I will give you two thousand people. Remember, you must come back within two days no matter what, no matter whether the matter can be done or not. Here in Rong County, I will continue to strengthen the attack!"
"Zhu Qinglan will definitely return to Rong County within two days!"@.
