i have ten aunts

Seeing the unmoved soldiers, the storyteller was so frightened that he peed his pants.

The onlookers shook their heads and sighed one by one.

"This guy doesn't have a long memory, and he insists on fighting hard with the soldiers. Now it's all right. If you lose your job, you'll lose your head too."

"They have a guilty conscience. If they have the ability to bully Marshal Shen Ziqing, they won't be arrogant for a few days."

"That's right, it's just a group of grasshoppers after autumn. The army stationed outside the capital is the army of Marshal Shen Ziqing, who can take it down at any time."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)! Be careful of suffering from unreasonable disasters."

"Yes, yes, you see, my mouth just doesn't lock the door"

Among the crowd, there were quite a few colleagues who were afraid after seeing this scene. Fortunately, they refrained from coming out to speak today.

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the soldier raised his gun, and the leader waved his hand expressionlessly and said:

"fire"

Before Mr. Storyteller had time to beg for mercy, bang bang bang!

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the storyteller screamed. In the blink of an eye, he had fallen into a pool of blood, struggling for a moment, staring at his eyes.

The leading officer snorted coldly, shook his whip, looked around, and said coldly: "In the future, whoever dares to chew his tongue will be his fate."

After finishing speaking, he said again to the soldiers beside him: "Hang him up and show them to the public for three days, let's see who dares to talk nonsense here, hum!"

Mr. Storyteller, I never dreamed that I was fine when I came here, but now I can't go back.

Just said a book, who did you provoke?

However, the effect of this trick of killing chickens and monkeys is indeed effective. There are indeed fewer people in the capital who show off Shen Ziqing's awesomeness. Many people dare not speak out or talk nonsense.

Especially today's scene made many people feel even less favorable towards the Anhui Clan and the Zhi Clan.

Of course, there were also those who did not want Shen Ziqing to come to Beijing, that is, those Manqing Baylor masters.

They had a big feud with Shen Ziqing, but they didn't expect that Shen Ziqing was now so awesome that they looked up to him.

The more successful Shen Ziqing was, the more trash they looked like.

Now that the soldiers were approaching the city, they were also in constant panic, fearing that Shen Ziqing would overthrow the old account, this time it would not be a slap in the face, it would be fatal.

It's not just in the capital city, there shouldn't be too many people bragging about Shen Ziqing.

Warlords everywhere are also complaining.

Originally, I thought that everyone would unite and beat Shen Ziqing, and everyone would fight the local tyrants and share the property.

It took a while to realize that was not the case at all.

Sun Chuanfang from Ganxi was even more miserable. The red girl from Xiangxi and the Wu Juren from Lingnan attacked back and forth, making him miserable.

What a fucking dog, I believed in Duan Qirui's pie.

It's all right now, the one who was beaten was retreating steadily, desperately running for his life.

Chen Yulou from Suzhou even drove Lu Yongxiang from Zhejiang and Shanghai out of Shanghai and hid in Zhejiang Province.

Li Houji from Fujian Province was even more troubled. He had to face the Ergouzi's 5 army from Lingnan Province, and Shen Ziqing's [-] navy from behind.

In Fujian Province, we have to face peasant rebellion.

The reason is that Li Houji sent troops in 14 counties in Fujian Province to order farmers to plant opium poppies, and imposed a tax on tobacco seedlings ranging from 3 yuan to 18 yuan per mu. This caused many people to be poor and angry.

Last month, more than 3000 rice boat workers on the upper reaches of the Minjiang River went on strike and stopped sailing because they opposed his collection of rice and salt donations. It can be said that the trouble was very unpleasant.

Before the matter was settled, Shen Ziqing's army came calling. He hated Xu Shuzheng to death, and now he couldn't get off the tiger.

Almost, except for the outlying areas, the whole country is at war.

With his own strength, Shen Ziqing forced these warlords to retreat steadily.

Chapter 4 and One Take Four Provinces

Especially when he heard the battle of Baoding, Li Houji was so frightened that his legs went weak, and his intestines were green with regret.

If he had known today, he would have surrendered to Shen Ziqing earlier, and it would have been over. Now, the two sides are in dire straits, and there is no room for relaxation.

Liu Shichang of Guizhou Province and Lu Rongting of the Guangxi Clan faced the defense of the Shen Faction troops in Lingnan and Xiangxi, and they could not attack at all.

The Lingnan Army and the Guangxi Army broke out in a contact battle, and exchanged fire in Jiaoling, Dapu, and the three cities of Raoping.

The Guangxi warlords have always had the strongest troops among the five southwestern provinces. In historical wars, Lu Rongting has always liked to use other people's troops to charge into the battle, and put the Gui army at the back to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Unexpectedly, the capital is getting more and more money, and the elite soldiers of the Guangxi warlords who were once invincible in all battles have already become rich men in the fish and meat town. A paper tiger that breaks with one poke.

Seeing that the once arrogant warlord of the Guangxi faction was defeated like a mountain, and was beaten and ran away with his head in his arms, the Qian army under the command of Liu Shichang of the Guizhou faction directly chose to sit on the sidelines and retreat.

However, after repelling Liu Shichang from Guizhou and Lu Rongting from Guangxi, Lingnan did not choose to continue the pursuit. Instead, they stayed in Lingnan, because this is the base camp and cannot be messed up.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed. Sun Chuanfang from the Jiangxi line was also defeated and captured, Li Houji from the Fujian line was captured, Lu Yongxiang from the Shanghai line was missing, and Zhejiang Province and Shanghai were all in the hands of Shen Ziqing.

It can be said that the west of Jiangxi, Hezhe, and Fujian fell into Shen Ziqing's hands, and all of Shen Ziqing's territories were connected into one piece, and the sea and land were also completely connected together.

Now the entire south, except Anhui Province, has fallen into Shen Ziqing's hands.

Wan Province was surrounded like dumplings.

Most of Anhui Province has fallen, leaving only Bengbu, which is the old nest of Ni Sichong's Anwu Army, and it will not last for a few days.

In the Bengbu military camp, all the soldiers drooped their heads, like eggplants beaten by frost, without the slightest energy.

After Ni Sichong inspected the barracks, his heart was also very heavy. These days, not only him, but also these soldiers have been tortured terribly.

In just a few days, there were only 4 of the [-] Anwu troops left.

These 4 people can be regarded as the elite of his direct lineage, but they are only lingering on their last days.

Even he himself didn't have the slightest confidence in the face of the siege from the Shen family.

He understood that the reason why the opponent didn't attack was not because they couldn't beat them, but because they were waiting for something, waiting for the lowest price to take Bengbu.

Ni Sichong has been haggard these days, and hasn't slept well for several days.

A few days without sleep is nothing to a young man.

But for him, a middle-aged man in his fifties, it was a big challenge and a lot of energy.

Just looking around, I'm exhausted.

Seeing Ni Sichong who was out of breath, the orderly at the side hurriedly helped him to sit down.

"Sir, sit down and rest now"

Ni Sichong's face turned pale, and he nodded: "Go and call Master Liu and Master Zheng to my camp for a meeting."

"It's handsome"

Soon, more than a dozen generals came over with tired faces.

Ni Sichong cheered up and said, "Everyone has worked hard."

"The commander-in-chief didn't work hard, it's just that these bastards from the Shen family are too inhuman, and they beat and didn't beat them.

When we were resting, they fired and harassed us again. The past three days have made us exhausted, and all the soldiers under us are also tired.”

"It's very annoying, their purpose is very simple, that is to prevent us from having a good rest, and keep harassing us"

"It feels like a sparrow. When you go up to grab it, it will run away, and it will come and run back as soon as you leave. It's so uncomfortable, it's almost crazy."

"Yeah, if this goes on, the brothers will be tortured and go crazy."

Ni Sichong also had a headache for a while. The other party was so harassed that he was tortured like crazy. They didn't dare to go out to fight, and they would be beaten if they went out. There was really no way.

"Marshal, what should we do? If we go on, we will be finished."

"That's right, the morale of the team is very low now, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. We must try to improve morale."

For a while, Ni Sichong was helpless. He had never seen such a war. If you want to attack the city, you have to fight head-on. If you don’t attack, you have to keep harassing. It’s really annoying.

"Forget it, let's improve the food, increase the salary of the soldiers, and stabilize the morale of the soldiers."

"This method is good, but it can be stronger"

At the same time, Zhou Weiguo and others are also making urgent arrangements.

"Mr. Zhou, [-] shells and tanks have been sent, ready to attack at any time."

Zhou Weiguo looked at the map and said dissatisfiedly: "Well, the provinces of West Jiangxi, Fujian, Henan, and Zhejiang have all been taken down, but Ni Sichong in Anhui Province has never been taken down. Doesn't it make me look like a waste?

Give them a big meal tonight. "

"Mr. Zhou did not take down Ni Sichong. This is definitely not your problem. You are also thinking about the safety of your brothers."

"Yes, if you really want to attack, you have already taken Bengbu. Why wait until the shells are brought in to attack? It's not because of the sacrifice of soldiers."

"Yeah, we both understand"

"Report, Commander Zhou, Commander Zhao, they are here"

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo hurriedly stood up to greet him.

When he came outside the tent, he saw Zhao Xihuan leading a group of generals coming with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Zhao, why are you here?" Zhou Weiguo stretched out his hand and said with a smile;

"Aren't you following General Zhou's order? Let's see what General Zhou has to say." Zhao Xihuan shook hands and said with a half-smile;

Zhou Weiguo also understood the implication. It was obvious that many people were still not convinced that he and Li Yunlong were promoted to major generals.

He can also understand, after all, in terms of seniority and seniority, he and Li Yunlong are really inferior to Zhao Xihuan, Chen Yulou and others.

Before Zhao Xihuan joined Shen Ziqing, his status was only at the level of the military governor. After joining Shen Ziqing, he actively cooperated with all of Shen Ziqing's orders. It can be said that he has very high qualifications and is also very loyal.

He also knew that he was too conspicuous as a major general.

But he didn't want this major general himself, Shen Ziqing awarded him the title, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Zhou Weiguo hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Brother Zhao, all the shells have arrived, a total of [-] shells. If this round of shell fire continues, the entire city of Bengbu will be razed to the ground. Taking Wan Province is just around the corner."

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?????????

Zhao Xihuan didn't go too far, but insisted on the map and said: "Marshal Shen told me just now that he doesn't want to cause too much damage to Bengbu City. Once there is an indiscriminate bombing, the civilians will be killed and injured too much, and too many houses will be destroyed. , it’s all under construction, it’s not worth it, it will be our asset in the future.”

Zhou Weigu nodded and said, "I know, so I'm also researching where is the best way to attack and minimize losses."

"I think it's better to just flatten the gate tower of the East City. Here are Ni Sichong's most elite troops. Just send tanks to rush in. Wouldn't it be great?" Zhao Xihuan;

Zhou Weiguo thought for a while but did not refute. The difference in hard power and tactics are actually not that important.

In an absolute power finish, all machinations are paper.

"Brother Zhao is still thoughtful, then follow what Brother Zhao said."

 …  

Hearing this, Zhao Xihuan was very satisfied with Zhou Weiguo's attitude.

Who made Zhou Weiguo put such a low profile and respected him very much, which made him care less about Zhou Weiguo in his heart.

"That way, we will attack from the north gate, you set a time, we will attack together, so the speed will be faster" Zhao Xihuan said;

Zhou Weiguo looked at his pocket watch and said to the crowd: "Now order the troops to recharge their batteries and take a good rest. We will attack at one o'clock in the morning. When the time comes, don't delay the project with one fell swoop."

"Yes, Commander Zhou"

Many people in the military tent withdrew, leaving only Zhao Xihuan and Zhou Weiguo.

As one of the earliest veteran warlords, Zhao Xihuan still smiled and said, "After this battle is over, Marshal Shen can be said to control the entire southeast.

If Guangxi, Guizhou, Dian, and Sichuan provinces are captured, most of Yanhuang belongs to Shen Dashuai, and the others are also Daozui ducks.

When the time comes, I will invite brother Zhou to have a good drink, and we will not go home until we are drunk."

Zhou Weiguo was also a little excited and said: "Yes, I am really looking forward to this day, it will end sooner and develop sooner, these farmers are really suffering.

I believe that after the battle, Marshal Shen will not forget Brother Zhao."

Zhao Xihuan felt hot in his heart, his eyes looked yearning and anticipating.

He knew the meaning of Zhou Weiguo's words, and he still cared about the title of military rank, no matter what he said, he couldn't be lower than the people who came later, it would be embarrassing.

"Okay, your kid is much better at being a man than that bastard Li Yunlong.
