125 city down

Xiao Xiao's cold rain, drifting and weaving into heavy clouds and thick fog that can't be opened. There are no three days of sunshine in autumn this year. The newly built post road driven by the Beiyang army is like a mud dragon winding to the rain curtain in the distance. The yellow water flows from the wide post road to the hairy canal pulled by the road in the rain, and then enters the pond ditch and converges to the big canal. The night fell, and the sight became more blurred in the rain and could not be far-sighted.

"The wind and rain are like a rock!" Li wanted to stand on the hill with his oil coat on horse riding on the hill. Looking at the developed agricultural irrigation ditches and streams in Hubei crisscrossed between the mountains and hills, and the white waves in the canals and streams, he muttered. Since he went south, he hasn't closed his eyes steadily for several nights, and his eyes are full of red blood. I don't know that because of his interruption, the storm in 1911 is more turbulent and unpredictable than the original history, and I don't know when it will stop and calm down.

"What are you talking about?" Tang Yuewan turned around and asked him a clear question. Because of the noise of the march behind her, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, she also rode on the hill and stood on the hill, but she didn't hear Li Xiang muttering clearly.

Song Que rolled up his sleeves high and rode a horse to stand beside him. Because he was soaking in the rain all day long, whether it was raincoats or oily clothes, it was in vain. He threw them off early because he was in the way. His clothes were wet and dripping everywhere on the corners of his clothes, cuffs and chin. He is a good muscle and bone in martial arts, and he is not afraid of the cold of late autumn at all. Hearing the two of them talking, Song Que looked back and saw that Zeng Gao looked indifferent immediately. He didn't wear a big-brimmed hat. He cut off his braids and shaved his bald head for more than a month. His head had been wet and pasted on his forehead. Maybe I'm used to looking at the braids. I always feel that Zeng's tall hair is not long, short, monk is not monk, vulgar, and looks very funny.

Song Que couldn't help grinning and shouted loudly to Li Xiang, "Marshal! I think it's going to rain. Let's camp here tonight. On such a cold and rainy night, I couldn't bear the iron body. Even if I rushed to the city of Xiaogan, I didn't have the strength to attack the Beiyang Army again.

"Why do you camp here tonight? Uh-huh! The wind and rain came well and came in time. I'm afraid that it didn't rain long enough and didn't rain big enough!" Li wanted to take a look at Song Que, but his face was even calmer than the rain at this moment. Then he continued, "Such a rainy weather is very unfavorable to our march, but it is even more unfavorable to those Beiyang soldiers coming from the north. Beiyang soldiers will definitely be greatly discounted when fighting in such weather. Have you ever thought about this?"

Song Que was silent for a moment and said, "I have already mobilized the plan to attack Xiaogan in the army. It was originally agreed to take advantage of the main force of Xiaogan Beiyang Army to attack Hankou. Hanyang turned over this mountainous area overnight to attack Xiaogan, but this autumn rain bucket broke the sky. It has been raining until today, and it is dark in the rain. It's really difficult to march. I think it's better to camp here. At present, the most important thing is morale. What the general said just now is that the morale of the enemy and us has a huge impact. Of course, it has a greater impact on the Beiyang soldiers who are not used to the smoke in southern Hubei. I have been paying attention to the morale of the army. Since I went south, everyone has been holding a depression, so that the morale can't be raised. I can't see the spirit of the revolutionary army when I was in Hankou that day..."

"I don't think it's morale, I'm afraid it's the generals'. What kind of gossip have you heard again? Li wanted to look at the dark night sky, and the rain and fog became thinner. He sneered and said, "I'm not talking about you. The people in the Wuchang Advisory Bureau don't do anything. They all want to pick cheap fruits and eliminate dissidents. In Hankou, the United Alliance will take away the country we have fought with blood and sweat. In Xiaogan, it is to drag Huang Xing's legs and make Huang Xing make trouble. It has ruined the revolutionary situation in Hubei so far. All this is clear to me. In the Wuchang Consultation Bureau, how many people are really revolutionary? Basically, it has been squeezed out. Now Huang Xing left Wuchang and went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Feng Guozhang took Xiaogan and besieged Yangxia, thinking that the Hubei Revolution had reached the end of the country! You Song Que also have this idea in your heart. You think that I have also changed my mind, because I have a grudge against Wuchang Group, and now it is even more impossible to use this power in hand to fill in this exhausted dilemma, isn't it?!"

Li Xiang said here, his face was already blue, and his tone was cold and forced to ask. His eyes were like electricity. He glanced at Song Que and Zeng Gao. The tiger power accumulated by the unified army in a short period of time burst out, and even Tang Yuewan felt a chill in his heart.

Song Que took a breath and said melancholy, "What the marshal said is not true!" I am determined to participate in the revolution in order to succeed in the great cause of the revolution, the prosperity of the country, and the nation will no longer be bullied by others. I am determined to participate in the revolution. It is my responsibility to save the country and the nation. Since the Wuchang Uprising, we have hit the governor's office, the Liu family temple, the three bridges, the filial piety, the foreigners... We thought that we would not only throw our heads for the revolution, shed blood, and made great contributions, and we would be trusted by the revolutionary leaders of the League. But in the case of Hankou, we are so despised. Until now, there are still many people who think that we are revolutionary speculators. If we go to the north and the south, are we unwilling to fight? Marshal, our game was not a bloody battle! I miss this, can I not feel cold? Can the soldiers have no strange thoughts?

Song Que couldn't say enough of this depression in one breath. Zeng Gao and his generals listened silently without saying a word. Their faces could not be seen clearly in the dark, and the wind and rain brought endless chills, and the unseverable depression.

Li Xiang shook his head and said with an open-minded smile, "Life is alive, who can not hear the gossip? Is it too much time to listen to gossip? We go straight to the revolutionary major events, wholeheartedly for this country, for the nation, for what we have done, we have a clear conscience of heaven and earth, worthy of the country, and worthy of the nation. It is said that we are not able to fight. Let's have a good fight tonight. Let's see who is fighting a bloody battle for the people of Hubei, who is fighting for the Chinese revolution, who is fighting a bloody battle to drive the Beiyang Army out of Hubei, and who is fighting the bloody battle of the Hubei Revolution. We should let everyone in the world know that it is the Revolution of 1911 that we set off, and only we can carry out the revolution to the end... Those who only know the root of the tongue and black hands on us don't deserve it!"

"Mshal..." Hearing this, Song Que's depression in his heart seemed to be solved by Li Xiang. The eyes of this tough man were wet, and he stapt and couldn't say anything.

Zeng Gao listened, and it was also hot in his heart. Originally, he did not agree with the night attack on Xiaogan. He did not think that the Hubei revolution had reached the end of mountains and rivers like some people. The night attack on Xiaogan was also dispensable for the Yangxia war. It could no longer affect the overall situation in Hubei, and he did not like the Wuchang Group. He was full of depression and a little reluctant. He just felt that the army was dedicated to destroying the supplies of the Beiyang Army on the railway line. In terms of practical effect, it should be better than the powerful night attack on Xiaogan. Although there was a bandit mountain king's style, it was the most effective tactic to fight weakly. In addition, Huang Xing's night attack on Feng Guozhang, on the contrary, it is a loss of soldiers, which proves that Feng Guozhang is still very prepared. The night attack on Xiaogan seems to be very risky. Now seeing that Li Xiang and Song Que are so emotional, thinking about all kinds of grievances after Hankou, tears will come out of his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tang Yuewan's soft voice, "Don't be sad, a few big men... The alliance will not treat us as a plate of dishes. What can we care about? The people in Hubei still believe in us, and it is enough to share the hearts of the people. Fortunately, the sneak attack on Xiaogan tonight is not a big war. We will fight a beautiful victory, and some people will be honest.

"Night attack on filial piety is a crucial key battle for me to think about and set my own revolutionary strategy." Li Xiang looked cold. At this moment, he was a little awe-inspiring general. "Since Huang Xing led the Hunan army of the two associations, he was defeated in filial piety, and the revolutionary spirit of Hubei and even the whole country was deeply hit. To revitalize the national revolutionary spirit, there must be a great victory, shock Beijing, or defeat the Beiyang army in Hubei and shock Yuan Shikai. All I left my personal grudges and insisted on attacking filial piety at night. There may be some disapproval among the soldiers. I don't blame them. They are also revolutionary for great cause. Why should I make people be so sad? I'm a very democratic person, and I don't like dictatorship. But I can tolerate those who are different, and I can't tolerate those who don't cooperate. Naturally, I can't tolerate people who take advantage of my front line to fight behind my back. Anyone who sincerely follows me to make a revolution, I pat my chest and promise that you will never end up. We fought hard to kill Hankou. No one wants to get involved. Drive away the Beiyang Army, and we will enter Hankou.

Song Que couldn't help but shine on his face. This is the flying Li Shuai he knows. Immediately, the lazy Zeng Gao also straightened up and answered loudly, "Shandi-in-chief! According to the military order, I will naturally fight together. If there is nothing among the soldiers, you will rule my military law.

"...As for the lack of morale influenced by people with different hearts," Li wanted to nod and continued to say, "The matter of Hankou is that revolution is born and died, but there is no end, which is chilling. They went to the battlefield with strange doubts. What the soldiers wondered was not that they were afraid of death. They were afraid of bleeding and making other people's wedding clothes - it was all my fault that they were not strong enough. He was afraid that the infighting with the Wuchang Group and the League Group would take advantage of Feng Guozhang and Yuan Shikai, who went south, and buried the hard-won revolutionary cause, so that they would repeatedly avoid the affairs of Hankou and let the soldiers be wronged. This kind of avoidance is only once, and it will never happen again in the future. I won't let anyone. Anyone who follows me to make a revolution, I won't let them end up. All those who died and were disabled in the revolutionary battle were compensated with preferential treatment, which was twice as good as those in the Qing Dynasty and all over the country. There is no way to collect the remains of those who died in battle and can collect the cages. All of them are included in the list of martyrs. After the success of the revolution, the stone will remain famous for thousands of years. For the country and the people, life and death are supreme honors, and I do not hesitate to give them the benefits of the revolution. What's more, the Beiyang Army is plundering in Hubei, and many Hubei children in the army have a deep hatred for the death of their families. I don't believe that morale can't be up?

Hearing this, Song Que was eager to have a try immediately. He said like a bell, "General, I take back the opinion that I just camped. Damn it, kill all the Beiyang troops in Xiaogan tonight.

"Oh?" Li wanted to laugh, patted Song Que on the shoulder on the horse, and said, "I understand. I also know that you have been practicing martial arts since you were young. It is said that Fuwu is poor. Your family must be rich and noble, but you say that you have no family, no relatives, no reason, alone, and not afraid of the revolution. I guess it's the Qing Dynasty, and you have a great hatred for the destruction of your family. Tonight, I attacked Xiaogan and was caught off guard when killing the enemy. I don't worry about defeating Xiaogan, but I also have something to worry about, do you know?

A trace of sadness flashed in Song Que's eyes, but it was hidden by darkness. He turned his eyes wide and looked at Li Xiang puzzledly. Zeng Gao couldn't help exchanging looks with several other generals. He turned his mind the fastest and immediately showed a thoughtful situation.

Li Xiang slowly raised his face and looked at the dark and endless night sky. The cold drizzle and wind fell on his face. For a long time, Fang smiled and said, "This matter seems to be a little early, but it is easy for you to be dizzy as soon as you go to the battlefield. Now it will only be good to listen to it and think more. Because the Beiyang army did not accept the water and soil in the south, the army left Xiaogan to attack Yangxia. The city was empty, and the consecutive victories would make them relax and paralyzed. We attacked Xiaogan overnight. How could they not think that we would come to help Wuchang boxing at this moment, which is incompatible with Wuchang's water and fire? Some of us can't figure it out, and we can definitely kill them unprepared. But after all, the Beiyang Army is a long-term elite soldier. After the successful sneak attack, it immediately spreads far. If it is reacted by the Beiyang Army and pestered us, and the Beiyang Army will come back to help, more than a thousand of us can only attract hatred to the city of Xiaogan.

Li wanted to talk and looked at Song Que. At this point, Song Que also understood Li Xiang's worries. He immediately straightened his body and said, "Please give orders from the marshal's class!"

Li Xiang's eyes are as bright as the morning in the dark, and he said word by word, "I know that your hatred with the Beiyang army is as deep as the sea, but you can never fall in love. The future is long, and the revenge can be slowly repaid. It's not worth it if you die under the city of Xiaogan. This Xinhai Revolution has not yet succeeded, and you still need to work harder.

When Song Que heard that Li wanted to say it, he still hesitated for a moment, that is, a short pause, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand that you can never fall in love with war. Everything should be put first on the cause of the national revolution, never complain privately, and worry about everyone's safety.

"This is a man, a qualified revolutionary." Li wanted to praise, and at the same time said to Zeng Gao, "Don't worry, follow me to make a revolution. Don't be afraid that there will be no good end in the end. Don't be afraid that the despicable villains plot against us behind our backs, and don't worry about the things in Hankou. Follow me to fight Xiaogan boldly, and I will also act with the army. If there is anything, I will carry it. Let's go and comfort the morale of the army, preach the righteousness of the national revolution, the responsibility of the revolutionary army, and encourage the morale of the army. As long as we revolutionary soldiers work together, our profits can be cut off. Why worry about the success of the revolution, and why worry about the failure of filial piety at night?

Li Xiang was so heroic that he slapped the whip, and the horse hissed in pain. He jumped up, rushed down the hill, and rolled up a gust of wind and rain on the hill and left. Zeng Gao chased the tail of the team and instantly went into the vast dark place of wind and rain.

Li wanted to ride slowly, and also took off the oil coat that was in the way, allowing the wind and rain to hit his body.

Whenever the lightning flashed and tore the darkness, I saw the dark crowd lining up silently in the wind and rain. Tang Yuewan and a group of generals followed closely.

Li wanted to comfort a group of soldiers and cheer them up as he walked. He said loudly, "Our revolutionary army is not as strong and equipped as the Beiyang Army. This is a fact. We should dare to admit it, but the Beiyang Army still wants to fight. Who told them to destroy our homeland, who told them to be willing to be the lackeys of the Qing Dynasty, and who told them to be the enemy of our revolutionary army. We should not only fight, but also be proactive. If we can't beat the frontal battlefield, we will take advantage of the night, the rainy days, and the complex hilly terrain of the mountainous areas of Hubei Province to take the initiative to attack, fight against the infantry of the Beiyang Army, the artillery of the Beiyang Army, and the heavy soldiers of the Beiyang Army. In a word, Hubei is our territory. We are more familiar with it than anyone else. No matter how you fight, you can use it for me 24 hours a day. All the space in the front and back of the Beiyang Army can find the flaws and hit me!"

In this era, there is nothing more morale to stimulate than the appearance of a military commander in person. Li wanted to lead the army to fight for some time, and his temperament became more and more the prestige of the commander of the army. But when he saw that in the dark, his eyes were bright, like divine power, like lightning, he was more and more awe-inspiringly that he could not look directly, and more inviolable. His posture on the horse is not very majestic, even a little thin and weak, but it is full of explosive power. Every small movement seems to be able to roll up drastic changes in the wind and rain. His voice showed a strong fighting spirit and confidence, and he was extremely arrogant and hanged to death. It seemed that the Buddha would give way when he met him. Every word he said wherever he went aroused bursts of tribute and applause, and his morale was greatly boosted.

Li wanted to raise his anger and shouted loudly, "Huang Xing was defeated in Xiaogan. Feng Guozhang lost his conscience and burned, killed and robbed the people in Hubei. Hubei is our home, and no one can do this. The Beiyang Army forced the three towns of Wuhan, and the first place of revolution attracted national attention was in danger. But who else in Hubei can resist the Beiyang Army now? Only us! It is the first meaning of our revolution in 1911, the great cause of our revolution in the three towns of Wuhan, and the great wave of our national revolution. Now, we want everyone to see that only we can resist the powerful enemy of the Beiyang Army, only we can protect the safety of the three towns in Wuhan, only we can achieve the victory of the Hubei Revolution to the end, and only we can carry out the revolution of 1911 to the end. Follow me, the great cause of revolution that is like the sky belongs to you, and you will be the most dazzling revolutionary heroes in 1911. Follow me, no one can take away your glorious honor for thousands of years, and no one can take it away. Follow me, kill the lackeys of the Qing Dynasty, and achieve the great cause of revolution.

Li Xiang's voice spread far away, and even Xiao Xiao's wind and rain still can't cover it.

"Swear to carry out the revolution to the end. Kill the lackeys of the Qing Dynasty and achieve the great cause of the revolution. Only us, only us, only us..." The morale of the army was boosted, shouting in unison, shaking this dark world.

The soldier who was hesitant got Li Xiang's assurance and had no hesitation at all.

Li Xiang is standing in front of them. What's so terrible about them? This sentence "Only us" is full of the depression in his heart. This is the meaning of revolution, and there is no regret in a man's life.

With a heartless and heartless heart, he also felt his blood boiling. He looked at Li Xiang with a playful look, as if there were no problems in this era that could not be solved. The already chaotic and low morale in front of him was excited by his relaxed words. And will Hubei's situation, which is now close to the end of mountains and rivers, will also be easily resolved by him?

At this time, Li Xiang turned his horse's head again, raised his fist and shouted, "Listen, the revolutionary army will win, and the Beiyang army will lose."

All the generals and soldiers shouted with him, and the sound rushed to the night man, and the war horses hissed wildly, which directly changed the color of the dark Chu Tianwai. The bloody outbreak of the Chinese nation. Since the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the bloody suppression and enslavement of the Chinese nation for more than 260 years have been endured by the whole nation's humiliation and the depression until today. The fierceness is better than the Ghost Story

How many times do you know about the ten generations of resentful couples? Once it breaks out, the sky and the earth change color and the mountains and rivers shake.

The night shrouded the dilapidated Xiaogan City, the darkness is endless, and the wind and rain are annoying. The roads outside the city are full of Beiyang army's infantry, cavalry and artillery camps. Some Beiyang officer tents are still lit, one in the east and one in the west in the darkness of the wind and rain. The city of Xiaogan is already dilapidated, and it is also very difficult to clean up a large camp of tens of thousands of people in an open space. After discussion with Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang simply put the camp under Xiaogan City.

A black figure stood on a broken section of the wall, looking at the camp in the dark silently, facing the wind and rain roaring by. People in the north are not afraid of the cold, but such rainy and wet weather makes him uncomfortable. Duan Qirui has insomnia again tonight. I don't know if it's because of this annoying ghost weather, or... Thinking that Feng Guozhang is going to make great achievements in Hankou tonight, is he a little uncomfortable? Yes, when he went south here, Duan Qirui was simply his training partner of Feng Guozhang. Feng Guozhang had changed a yellow horse hexagram, and now he has to swallow the great achievement of recovering Hankou. Duan Qirui is here for nothing this time.

Duan Qirui's heart is depressed and bored, which makes him unable to sleep? Duan Qirui took a deep breath of cold air with wind and rain, and his head was a little sober. He always felt that such a reason was not enough for him to have insomnia. The sensitive intuition raised in the half-life battle would flash a feeling of panic from time to time, as if there was the key to being ignored, and it was the key to extremely dangerous, so he lurking. In the darkness in front of me, I always can't figure out a clue.

Duan Qirui touched the wall wet by the cold rain with his fingers and tried to recall everything after entering Xiaogan to find out the key to being accidentally ignored by him. When he entered Xiaogan City, the city wall was already dilapidated in the war. It was not a matter for a while to clean up the dilapidated Xiaogan City. It was a big project. While camping outside the city, Kung Fu is the whole province. There is no enemy in Hankou and Hubei that can pose a threat to the Beiyang army. Li Yuanhong's civilian army was all huddled in Hankou and beaten by them; Li Xiang's revolutionary army hid in the northwest of Hubei and added nausea to them like a flea on the railway supply line. With the conflict between Li Xiang and Li Yuanhong because of Hankou, Li Xiang is now eager to watch Li Yuanhong's good play and watch Li Yuanhong die. Duan Qirui is in Xiaogan. It's not his turn to be credited, but it's not his turn to be in danger.

Duan Qirui looked at the railways and post roads behind the straight dark rain. In the past few days, these originally crowded and wide north-south important roads have been widened and reinforced by them again. For this reason, the Beiyang army forcibly recruited more than 100,000 people, and the villages near Xiaogan were plundered by them. Even so, it is impossible to guarantee the smooth flow of the supply line at all times. Li Xiang's revolutionary army is too disgusting. It specializes in destroying railway lines and post roads, and the destructive power is very strong. The Beiyang Army needs to build grass valleys near Xiaogan to supplement insufficient supplies. Does Li want to defeat the Beiyang Army through such a sparrow battle? Li thought that this kid was disgusting and difficult to deal with, but after all, he was just a kid, and he didn't have the ability to affect the overall situation of Hubei.

On this broken wall horse racing track, there are potholes left by the fire of war everywhere, and some large pits show the rammed soil below, and now it is full of rain. The road is surrounded by wind and rain, and there is a heavy sound of footsteps in the rain on the ground.

The typical northerner's burly figure, like a demon god from hell, standing on the dark wall with wind and rain, and shouted in a low voice, "Your Excellency."

"Hmm." Duan Qirui squeaked, but he didn't say anything. The Beiyang demon-like man also dared to say it again for fear of disturbing his thoughts. Duan Qirui, who frowned in the shadow, still couldn't figure out where the problem was? In the cold wind and rain, it was a little dry and hot. I couldn't wait to tear open my chest and blow into a cool breeze.

It has been a month since Duan Qirui left Jiangbei, and the Wuchang Uprising has also been more than a month. The north should be a good season for cool autumn, with a layer of autumn rain and a layer of coolness. However, the ghost weather in Hubei is rainy almost every day, marching in wet and humid places. Due to the frequent attacks of the revolutionary army and intermittent rear supplies, the army had to order each soldier to carry ammunition and food as much as possible, plus other essential items, and each person carried dozens of kilograms. Although the Beiyang Army is a tough and strong army, even if the Iron Man goes on, there will still be times when they can't stand it.

Duan Qirui turned his head and looked at the devil-like man beside him. Such a strong man also saw that he was exhausted. He didn't have time to shave his beard these days, and his face almost turned into a hedgehog. Fortunately, it is in autumn. In the sultry summer, the beard will definitely be full of prickly heat, which is extremely itchy. The yellow water flowing out after scratching sticks the beard into hard pieces. During the day, it sweats again, and the prickly heat on the face is soaked and painfully. People in Beijing are not afraid of cold, but afraid of heat, not afraid of dry, but afraid of water. In such a stormy weather in Hubei, it is more sad than in the northwest desert. The whole body seems to be moldy. When will this kind of hard day come to an end? Because of the unconvinced water and soil, many soldiers in the Beiyang Army actually suffered from malignant malaria and lost their combat effectiveness without going to the battlefield. Duan Qirui looked around at the team of soldiers on duty on the wall behind him. Most of them were haggard, and the soldiers he was familiar with in the past were no longer human. The cheekbones on his face became as terrible as knives. His lips were cracked, full of blood and dry skin. The military uniforms on his body were disgusting at a glance, blood stains, and large areas. When I get home, I don't think my family will recognize it. Duan Qirui thought of this and suddenly woke up. If such a situation is allowed to develop, it is really possible for the Beiyang Army to be dragged down by Li.

Next to Beiyang Han found that Duan Qirui's orthodox official was staring at him. He quickly raised his face and smiled with a haggard face: "Your Excellency, it's not far from the south is Hankou, right? Lord Feng will definitely break through the three bridges and enter Hankou tonight. The three towns in Wuhan are coming to an end. After the gangsters are paced, we can go home, right?

Duan Qirui nodded subconsciously, looked over the vast Beiyang barracks full of lights under the city, went deep into the dark night, and threw into the continuous mountains in front of him. At the foot of Dabie Mountain, there was also an enemy that he could no longer see. The most terrible enemy was the enemy he didn't understand. At this moment, his heart was at a loss.

In front of Duan Qirui's eyes, the wind and rain entangled night, there is no other sound except the sound of wind and rain. There is a silence between heaven and earth. Under the city of Xiaogan by the water, the camp of the Beiyang Army is more than ten miles away, the star lights are shining in the night wind and rain, and the horses of the cavalry battalion are also uneasy and hissing tonight... ...Occasionally, there are one or two horns and the sound of strittering in the barracks. In this uneasy windy and cold night, it looks like a squeal.

Suddenly, the fire in the direction of Zhengge Longtougang flashed, and then there was a beeping horn, and the earth-shocking hoofs, close, like bursts of thunder rolling, straight to the Beiyang Army's barracks more than ten miles. The sound of wind and rain was all covered up, leaving only the sound of the golden iron horse to break the good dream of the Beiyang army.

Duan Qirui jumped to the city wall and stared at the dark ink-like night in front of him. Li Xiang's more than a thousand riders and horses crossed Zhengge Longtougang like a black tide embankment, and the mountain tsunami rolled up the wind and rain and rushed to the right wing front camp of the Beiyang Army.

The members of the revolutionary army held a sharp saber and a circle of grenades on their waists. The wet thin autumn clothes were tightly attached to their bodies. The tight leggings were drenched by the rain and simply wrapped around their legs. The shoelaces on their shoes were also scattered by the rain. Many soldiers simply tied their shoes to their feet with ropes.

"Kill!" Li wanted to roar from his throat. It was a night attack. Although he had launched a charge, his voice subconsciously pressed to the lowest.

The horse group let out a long hiss, and in the blink of an eye, they ran to the fiery Beiyang army camp. The sound of hooves is like a dense drum of war beating on the earth, and the four hooves are flying up a large area of mud and water. More than a thousand troops are enough to roll up the earth-shaking wind and rain.

Li wanted to launch a raid. The thunderous hoofs of the revolutionary army just sounded. When Duan Qirui rushed to the city wall, the Beiyang soldiers in the tent also woke up. After all, the well-trained strong army of the Beiyang Army reacted unhappily. They grabbed the weapon and rushed out.

It's late. Before more Beiyang soldiers could rush out of the tent, the roaring revolutionary army immediately hit the front and back of the tent, and there was a bang one after another, and some tents collapsed in the sound of the explosion. The thick canvas has long been soaked in the rain, but now it has lost its support and is heavily pressed on the Beiyang soldiers who have not yet died in the explosion. The revolutionary army then took off the torch cover soaked in yellow phosphorus, and the torch ignited in the wind, flying through a meteor-like trajectory to the collapsed and non-collapsed tents. At that moment, the tent was burned, wolf smoke rolled around, and the fire burned. The red, yellow and purple flames reflected half of the sky red. From time to time, there was a crackling explosion of grenades in the fire. The felt awning wave flew, the black smoke rolled up the wind and rain swirling up the sky, the burned canvas, and the bodies of Beiyang soldiers wrapped under the burning canvas. It emits a strong burning smell.

In an instant, the artillery of each battalion of the Beiyang Army also sounded, and the ground shook like a mountain drum noise. At the same time, it was emitted from all directions. The left battalion, the right battalion and the middle battalion were from the south to the west respectively, holding torches to the front village in the northeast, and the stars were dense.

"Revolutionaries are really bold! The wind is high and the moon is on fire, and the moon kills people. Li Xiang has always been the way of playing the bandits on the north railway line. There must be no doubt that Li Xiang will attack us tonight. Duan Qirui was lying on the wall, staring closely at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, sweating with tension. The most unlikely thing happened. Li Xiang actually put down his enmity with Li Yuanhong and came to help the three towns in Wuhan! With Li's mind, Duan Qirui had to write a convincing word in his heart. Moreover, Li Xiang dared to attack the camp of the Beiyang Army at night. Although the main force of the Beiyang Army went to the Yangxia battlefield, the Beiyang Army garrison of Xiaogan was not something that Li Xiang could humiliate.

Duan Qirui turned a blind eye to the Beiyang soldiers who died tragically after being attacked by Li Xiang. Looking at the Chinese army that ignited a fire, he showed a trace of excitement. As long as you hold the enemy you see for a while, and then transfer back to the main force of Feng Guozhang's second army assisting Feng Guozhang in Caidian, it is not difficult to swallow Li Xiang's night attack troops, which is also a great contribution to the south to calm down the chaos. When Duan Qirui thought of this, he couldn't help but be very excited. He restrained his excitement and ordered loudly, "Brothers, life and death are in this battle, kill!"

Duan Qirui said and strode down the city wall, taking off his oil coat as he walked. A long time ago, a personal soldier brought his war horse. He turned over and rode it and went straight to the Beiyang Military Battalion.

Li wants to jump on the horse and step on the collapsed tent. If he lies on the bottom and pretends to be dead, the shrewd Beiyang soldier will run over and trample him to death. Of course, there are also some Beiyang soldiers who are extremely fierce and jumping, eager to get out and fight desperately, or more stupid. For these stupid guys, the revolutionary soldiers are rude and rushing to the place where they are squirm. The resentment accumulated by the Hankou incident and the national depression that had been suppressed for more than 260 years, as if they had found a vent. They wanted to vent madly on these lackeys in the court of the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as the Beiyang soldier in a tent rushed out recklessly, he ate a knife passed by Song Que. The human scalp rolled down like a ball, blood spewed out of the empty neck cavity, and the burly headless body fell to the ground. Song lacked a horse and rushed straight. His swordsmanship was not fancy, but practical. Writing with the pen of martial arts is to turn simplicity into complexity and decay into a magical realm of great success. Song Que rushed straight to the place where the Beiyang army gathered without saying a word, and immediately chopped melons and vegetables. The Beiyang army was crying.

Under the city of Xiaogan, in the northwest, the Beiyang army camp is like a beehive that has been blown up. The sound of shooting like popping beans and the sound of shouting with a strong northern accent are all Beiyang soldiers. The soldiers of the revolutionary army were all the same as Song Que. They didn't shoot a single shot. Where there was a gun or shout, they threw a grenade. They immediately urged them to go with knives. After a while, they set them on fire, and rode horses to another dark camp.

Li Xiang clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and the war horse ran hard and went straight to the middle army shrouded in darkness. There were fires everywhere behind him. Li Xiang didn't want to be in such an eye-catching place. He went straight to the dark and chaotic place. Li Xiang waved his horse knife and cut down several Beiyang soldiers. Warm blood and cold rain sprinkled on his face, and the war horses marched on the song of ice and fire.

Li Xiang followed more than a dozen horses behind him, and broke up in the rush into the army. But he was not confused at all. Li Xiang had already agreed that he could not be greedy for meritoriousness, and he could not ignore the overall situation because of private hatred. When it was almost time, the whistle of the leader of the group all esconceived into the four heavy mountains and hills. When you come, you have made an appointment. If you can concentrate, you can concentrate. If you can't concentrate, you can return separately. They are all people who are no longer familiar with Dabie Mountain. There is a way home everywhere in the mountains. It doesn't matter if you can't come back that night. Find a mountain cat for a day and come back the next night.

The Beiyang Army was extremely confused. They didn't think about it. In the dark, the Beiyang soldiers who rushed out of the camp tent looked at the direction of the camp on fire and scolded, "The dog's revolutionaries suffered a big loss in the night attack outside Xiaogan City, and they dared to attack at night tonight. I don't know where the revolutionary army came from. Li Yuanhong's army was blocked in Hankou and has been exhausted. Li Xiang's army is still fighting guerrillas on the northern railway line and doing the business of bandits. He also heard that he had a deep grudge with Li Yuanhong. They all said that it was impossible to come to help Hankou. Where did this bandit party come from?

"Dae, how do I know?" They don't know anything except that the grenade was thrown by the revolutionary army, where the other enemies were, how many and so on.

Duan Qirui led the team to rush to the burning camp. Seeing the fire burning vigorously, the black smoke rolled into the air, and the fine and dense wind and rain also gave way. Under the firelight, the ground rolled in the mud and wailed. The Beiyang soldiers, who were not yet dead, did not even see the shadow of an enemy. Duan Qirui couldn't help but be stunned, so he strangled the war horse and no longer moved forward. Looking around, the camp in the dark flashed the bright light of the grenade explosion from time to time, and there was a crackling sound like thunder, and then the north accent of the Beiyang soldiers howling sounded, like a wave of tide hitting Duan Qirui's eardrum. More big tents were ignited in the darkness, and the fires everywhere rose to the sky. The firelight was illuminated in the dark camp. Duan Qirui finally saw a large number of soldiers falling into the pool of blood, the sea of fire, and the mud.

Duan Qirui knew that it was not good. He expected that Li Xiang had a sophisticated plan for tonight's night attack, which could definitely be said to be unexpected. The Beiyang army was in chaos for a while. He hurriedly ordered the generals and roared, "Be strict defense, don't fight lightly."

Now, what he wants to consider is not how to keep Li Xiang, but how to prevent Li Xiang from stepping through the camp. Suddenly, he ordered the soldiers to rush from the smoky battlefield and said, "Your Excellency the President: The enemy left after a while of fighting. He did not miss it. He set fire everywhere. I don't know how many people the enemy came, but the enemy was very fierce. I'm afraid Ma Junmen can't cope with it. He ordered me to report it and ask for reinforcements..." After a word, other camps also came to report, saying that the enemy was strong, the war was at a loss, and there was an urgent need for reinforcement of the former battalion.

"Nonsense!" Duan Qirui shouted, "I saw with my own eyes on the wall that the enemy has more than a thousand horses at most. Is there that you are so critical?"

"Really!" The messenger touched the sweat or rain on his face and said urgently, "We have found out that the camp is full of bandits who are burning and set fire everywhere. How can there be fewer enemies?"

The messenger insisted that Duan Qirui had to believe in surprise. He almost fell off the horse and jumped up on the horse as if he had been stinged by a scorpion. Looking around at the chaotic camp, the fire lit up everywhere, and the wind and rain were swaying. The order is about to be issued, and he hesitates. After all, he is a killing veteran. Sometimes he can also instigate the depth of the enemy by intuition alone. He rushed into the camp and ran around the fire to save him. Why didn't he see an enemy and bandit? Looking at the stretching camp of more than ten miles in the dark under the city of Xiaogan, the fire rose everywhere, and the explosion of grenades came through the air one after another. It seems that Li Xiang's night attack troops are very clever, but it is still between more than a thousand. If not, the wind and rain rolled up is not just that. Duan Qirui wiped a handful of hot sweat, his face stained with rain, and breathed a little relief: "It turned out that they touched it at night, and they just used the scheming of suspects, and they caught us off guard." Thinking about it, he shouted coldly and said, "Still follow your original order and order Cai Dian to return to the army quickly and jointly attack Li Xiangbu. I'll hold back Li Xiang's retreat!" Humph, I didn't expect that Li wanted to be smart but was mistaken. I saw his reality, so I couldn't go back safely.

At this point, Duan Qirui put away his cold sweat. Fang felt that his soul had returned. He stretched out his waist loosely and found that his legs were a little sore and numb, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Bir the wine!"

He wants to have a sip of wine, warm up, and suppress the shock.

The wine entered the throat, like swallowing a fire, burning the throat like a knife, and the stimulation began to heat up again.

Under the city of Xiaogan, most of the battalions of more than ten miles have ignited the flames of war, and the rising fires and tens of millions of torches lit up around the camp in turn, shining brightly on the west bank of the water and under the city of Xiaogan. At this time, the chaotic sound of drums and shouts shocked the sky, and people surged like a tide, and there were Beiyang soldiers in all directions. In the lit camp, except for the scene after being attacked by the revolutionary army, there was no revolutionary soldier. This further confirms Duan Qirui's speculation, and the reality of the bandit party's night attack on the army is also understood.

"Kill!" Duan Qirui squeezed out a word from between his teeth, and the horse's whip was pulled down hard, and the horse ran wildly. He led dozens of guards into the most chaotic camp in the dark. After knowing Li Xiang's reality, there was nothing to be afraid of. The dark was the most chaotic place, which was not dangerous enough for him.

There are many tents here, and the revolutionary soldiers ride horses interspersed between the tents of the wind and rain, constantly throwing grenades at the Beiyang barracks tents, and the explosion of the grenades rang in unison. The wet and heavy tent soaked in the rain was easily blown down by the explosion. Whether he ran out of the tent, or the Beiyang soldier Ma, who did not run out of the tent, was squeezed into this square inch. The revolutionary army cavalry rampaged here, and the Beiyang soldiers immediately became a pot of porridge. Duan Qirui rushed here and finally saw the true god of Li Xiang's revolutionary army.

But the chaotic and incompetent situation of the Beiyang Army in front of him was so angry that President Duan Qirui wanted to vomit blood. At a glance, there were only a dozen riders and bandits going back and forth in the dark, but they turned upside down the camp of his battalion. These more than ten cavalry and bandits were also really fierce. The knife pharaoh was spicy and practical. He silently killed in and out of the crowd, and the blood all over his body was mixed with rain dripping and throwing. This group of bandits exuded a chilling fierce spirit, like a demon who had been depressed and resentful for hundreds of years rushed out of hell. Duan Qirui suddenly realized that it was this fierceness that made him restless insomnia tonight. Duan Qirui's cold sweat came out again. He knew very clearly in his heart that this was the bloody suppression and enslavement of this nation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 260 years. The depression that broke out of the whole nation could really turn the river upside down and change color.

The fierceness of the bandit party broke out, which actually made the fierce Beiyang army's arrogant and frightened, which led to the bandit party's raid. If the situation continues to be so chaotic, there is no way to keep these dozen fierce bandits. After all, Duan Qirui is a famous Beiyang general who has been fighting all his life. At this important moment, he shows his super calmness. Several screaming and running Beiyang soldiers were beheaded to slightly calm the situation.

Duan Qirui tightened his horse, sprinkled the blood stains on the command knife, and said with a calm smile on the left and right soldiers, "How can more than a dozen bandits turn the sky again? A man should look at the dead and life. Such a little crisis. After this time, Cai Dian's reinforcements will come back and forth to save them. When the dawn is the day of their death!"

"Duan Qirui!" With a shout, Li wanted to rush out of the smoke and fire. Duan Qirui only felt that his thick blood came to his face. Li Xiang laughed and said, "Your Beiyang soldiers have been killed by us for a long time. The soldiers are in a mess. The Beiyang elite soldiers are just rabble. You still want to wait for reinforcements, have a dream! Feng Guozhang can't wait for you to die here. There is no one who can share the credit. When the Beiyang reinforcements arrived, you would have been defeated. Ha! To this day, the Qing Dynasty is exhausted, and you still have to work for this rotten court, which really loses the face of your ancestors for 18 generations. Now you still dare to be stubborn. If you get off the horse early, you will be tied up. I think you are also a Han Chinese. I will let you live!"

"Bullshit!" Duan Qirui roared, but he was a little lack of confidence. Of course, he knew more about Feng Guozhang's temperament than Li, and what Li wanted to say was not far away. But Cai Dian's Beiyang army belongs to his second army, and he can still move. There is no need to be afraid of this.

Li Xiang stopped talking. With his legs clamped, the mount under him rushed to Duan Qirui like a whirlwind. The knife in his hand danced with a cold light, and the wind was loud. Song Que behind him also gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill!" Protecting Li, he wanted to rush left and right and went straight to Duan Qirui. With their superb value of force, the two dared to do the sinister thing of winning the commander in the army. If Duan Qirui is killed, the results of their night attack can definitely shock Yuan Shikai, the Qing Dynasty, and the revolutionaries across the country.

Li Xiang and Song Kui's two heroes joined hands. They were really brave. The soldiers who surged up in front of Duan Qirui did not have a general in their hands. As soon as they met, they fell down. More than a dozen revolutionary army soldiers who were covered in blood also escorted behind them, hugging Li Xiang straight to Duan Qirui. The fire was shining, and Duan Qirui could see Li Xiang's blood-stained face, which was like a butcher killing god. The surging Beiyang soldiers were cut to the ground like cutting melons and vegetables, leading more than a dozen bandits to kill the momentum. Duan Qirui's heart was cold. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more dangerous, he grited his teeth and ordered, "Gun, shoot, shoot, shoot."

The sound of gunfire sounded densely like beans, and the Beiyang soldiers who were besieged outside fell down first. The revolutionary army waved their knives and killed Duan Qirui's own soldiers, and rushed Duan Qirui's own soldiers upside down. In the dark, the enemy and the two sides fought together and stirred into a regiment. The most chaotic people in the periphery were the Beiyang soldiers. Previously, the Beiyang soldiers were afraid of hurting their own people, and they were afraid of shooting to attract the bandit party, which attracted the revenge of the bandit grenade. They had always been eager to see that they couldn't shoot. However, Feng Guozhang was desperate for his life and ordered his own soldiers to shoot.

There was a round of gun shot in the Beiyang Army, and some were injured in the leg and fell to the ground and moaned. Duan Qirui's own soldiers actually shot at his own people, and the chaotic camp of the Beiyang Army was even more chaotic. He shouted that he wanted to escape from the battlefield and squeeze out. Duan Qirui's mount was also hit by the soldiers. He jumped wildly and almost lifted him off the horse. In an instant, the Beiyang soldiers who besieged Li Xiang urgently flashed, and there was no more energy to work hard.

"Pull the call!" Li wants to see that Duan Qirui's feet are in chaos, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity to run away. If he is really entangled by Duan Qirui, it is really a dead end. Just now, Duan Qirui was killed, which was to cause chaos in Duan Qirui's position. If he had a chance, he would kill him. If he didn't have a chance, he would run away. Li wanted to hurry up and shouted to Song Que, "The enemy and I have been mixed up, and his gun is useless. Let's go together and get out!"

Song Que nodded reluctantly. If he rushed again, he might be able to take off Duan Qirui's head... However, they have been exposed. If they don't take this opportunity to retreat, there will be no chance. He remembered that before the war, he promised Li that he would not fall in love with war. Everything was the most important thing. He turned around and shouted at those revolutionary soldiers who were still killing, "What are you stunned? Withdraw!"

Then the horse went forward.

Li Xiang's team of cavalry rushed straight into the sword forest, and the layers were chaotic Beiyang soldiers. Lixiang's group of cavalry was full of blood, and they were so tired that they were out of breath, but the murderous spirit and sharpness all over his body did not diminish at all. All the way, God should kill the god and Buddha should kill the Buddha. At this moment, Li Xiang felt that the pressure was greatly reduced and rushed out of the Beiyang Army camp. The chaotic shouts behind him shocked the world, but the darkness in front of him was as dark, and the wind and rain continued to drift endlessly. Li wanted to take a long breath, whipped the horse's buttocks, led a group of cavalry to rush out of the oblique thorns, jumped over Zhengge's leading post, and disappeared into the endless darkness.
