"Sir Wang, Batang is just ahead. From the sound of gunshots, it sounds like the fighting was intense!"
"Master Wang, we have found out that there is only one dissatisfied group of defenders in Batang. They have been fighting since yesterday and today, with heavy casualties. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on any longer!"
Wang Hengyue reined in his horse and frowned: "No, the reinforcements should have arrived long ago. Why is there no movement from Zhao Erfeng when we are all here?"
"There are indeed no reinforcements. There are always five to seven hundred rebels, and the offensive is very fierce!"
The horse immediately reined in his horse and came to Wang Hengyue's side, and said in a low voice: "Don't you know why Zhao Erfeng didn't send reinforcements?"
Wang Hengyue thought for a moment and then understood: "Could it be..."
Ma Xiao smiled faintly: "Yes, I have the same idea as adults. Zhao Erfeng has long been determined to solve the Tibetan issue. The harder the rebels fight, the more of our people die, and the more excuses Zhao Erfeng has. Batang only has
Just a chess piece."
Wang Hengyue was silent.
From the perspective of completely solving the Tibet issue, Zhao Erfeng's actions are undoubtedly admirable. But the methods are a bit cruel. For such a person to do such a thing, you can't say that he did the right thing, but you can't say that he did the wrong thing either.
People who do great things may be like this!
"The Batang defenders suffered such heavy casualties but did not take a step back. Zhao Erfeng's goal has been achieved, right?" Wang Hengyue said coldly: "The goal has been achieved, and I can't let the Batang defenders die! The whole team assembled and prepared to attack.
!”
"Sir, would you like to inform Mr. Zhao that we have arrived?" Ma Xiao hesitated.
"Inform me? If I inform you again, there won't be a single living person left in Batang! I can't control that much anymore, I'm fighting the rebels!" Wang Hengyue's voice suddenly became stern.
"Yes! Fight the rebels!"
"Assemble the team!"
"Assemble the team!"
The voices of the platoon commanders and hutmen rang out one after another.
"Report to the team officer, the entire first team has been assembled!"
Wang Hengyue came to the brothers, glanced at them, and pointed back in the direction of Batang:
"Brothers, Batang has been guarding for a day and a night. The brothers there have completed their mission. Now it's my turn! I have led you to kill the bandits, and now I will continue to lead you to kill the rebels! I will give you all my skills.
I will act swiftly and destroy the rebels without mercy!"
"Destroy the rebels without mercy!"
The voice of person No. 150 sounded like thunder.
Wang Hengyue got on his horse and pulled out his sword with a bang:
"Everyone is here, target Batang, kill!"
"kill!"
There was a thunderous cry behind him, and Wang Hengyue grabbed his war horse. The war horse neighed, raised its four hooves, and galloped forward with lightning and thunder!
"Kill! Kill!!"
New Army soldiers wearing big hats, gray military uniforms, and holding new weapons followed Wang Hengyue's horses, swarming out like a tidal wave!
Fighting bandits is nothing. Strictly speaking, the Battle of Batang is the real first battle of the new army!
Win the first battle!
...
The rebels had already rushed into Batang, and Wang Chongxian led his brothers to fight with the fierce rebels with red eyes.
There are only about thirty of them left. There is no place to escape, and there is no need to escape. Since you are going to die sooner or later, let's die here. Let these rebels see that no one in the Sichuan army is a coward!
"Kill, kill!!"
Cui Tingjie was leaning against a broken wall, covering the wound with one hand and waving the command knife with the other hand, letting the blood flow out continuously and letting his life pass by bit by bit. He was making his last effort to direct the final hopeless battle!
Even if you die, you must die like a soldier!
A rebel rushed in front of him, raised his knife and slashed at Cui Tingjie viciously.
Cui Tingjie tried his best to block it, but his strength had already run out, and the knife in his hand flew far away. He just watched the rebel's knife fall on him...
One knife, another knife.
Cui Tingjie fell in a pool of blood, unable to escape or struggle. He was unwilling to give in. He really was unwilling to give in. This should not be the ending.
"kill!!!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded.
Cui Tingjie reluctantly opened his eyes. At the last moment when his life completely disappeared, he saw:
A young and heroic officer, riding on a majestic war horse, brandishing a sharp saber in his hand, cut the rebel's head in half with one blow.
Behind him and around him, there were mighty soldiers everywhere! They were shouting, roaring, and using the weapons in their hands, they kept shooting the rebels one by one!
Reinforcements, reinforcements have finally arrived!
"Who are you..." Cui Tingjie asked weakly.
He heard his last words in this world:
"The first team of the second battalion of the Sixty-sixth Biao, Wang Hengyue!"
Cui Tingjie heard it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes forever.
"Destroy the rebels without mercy!" Wang Hengyue moved his sword forward and roared fiercely.
"Destroy the rebels, kill without mercy!" That was the thundering cry of the first team of soldiers!
Soldiers in gray military uniforms were everywhere, and they rushed into the rebels like tigers. The unprepared rebels fell in droves.
"Kill! Kill!"
The officers of the first team took the lead in killing. The sabers in their hands fell like lightning, bringing up pieces of blood.
"Kill! Kill!"
A group of New Army soldiers rushed over, half-kneeling on the ground, raising their rifles, aiming, and shooting. A volley of shots passed by, and a group of rebels who tried to charge screamed and fell in a pool of blood.
"Kill! Kill!"
The bravery and vigor of all the officers and soldiers who appeared on the battlefield made the rebels fearful. These soldiers falling from the sky swept the battlefield like a strong wind!
In the first battle of the new army, the combat effectiveness displayed was so sharp. Even Wang Hengyue did not expect this. Maybe it was the bloody fighting spirit of the Batang defenders that inspired them; maybe it was the huge casualties of the Batang defenders that angered them.
them!
This is the land of the Han people, rebels, get out of here!
Wang Chongxian stared at all this in a daze. Watching and watching, he finally couldn't control himself anymore. He knelt down on the ground with a plop and cried loudly: "Captain Cui, Commander Cui, reinforcements."
Ah, reinforcements, reinforcements have finally arrived, have you seen it!"
Cui Tingjie can no longer be seen, and those brothers who have died can no longer be seen...
"You man, you are crying!" A young officer jumped up to him and said, "It belongs to a man. Pick up the guy and follow me to kill the rebels!"
Wang Chongxian stood up, held the weapon in his hand tightly, and asked exactly the same thing Cui Tingjie asked before he died: "Who are you?"
"The first team of the second battalion of the Sixty-sixth Biao, Wang Hengyue!"
