Why did 143 fight

Time to go back to before the story of Wuchang.

The early morning sun dragged out the long shadow of Li Xiang. He quietly looked at the lively scene of the army gathering in front of him, and there was always a trace of worry in his heart.

Last night's speech still had a certain effect, and the army finally came out of the decadence of the dark clouds. However, looking at the forbidden revolutionary army in front of him, Li Xiang always felt that there was something missing in their spirit?

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Hearing the sound of Persian cat-like light and elegant horse boots, he knew it was Tang Yuewan.

He didn't look back and asked faintly, "What else?"

Tang Yuewan made a meticulous military salute to his back and said, "I just received the news that Nanjing has returned!"

"Nanjing Guangfu?" Li wanted to repeat in a low voice and suddenly realized the meaning of the news. He turned around like a whirlwind and grabbed a thin piece of paper in Tang Yuewan's hand like an electric. He looked at it several times in front of him. Suddenly, he laughed loudly and laughed wildly for two minutes.

"The heavens and the earth come together! God has opened his eyes! Ha... The news of the restoration of Nanjing is enough to bring back all the lost spirit of the revolutionary army. This battle is bound to win!"

Tang Yuewan's eyebrows were frivolous, "Do you want to pass on the news?"

"Of course," Zeng Gao suddenly appeared and smiled faintly: "It's better to stimulate morale."

The last trace of worry is swept away, and the winter sun looks extremely bright. Li wanted to try his best to suppress the frivolous complacency, pretending to be deep in the city, but the corners of his mouth were uncontrollably light. This funny look made Tang Yuewan and Zeng Gaozhi roll their eyes.

"Power generation clearly, inform the whole country, and call on all the soldiers and civilians in Hubei to carry out the revolution to the end and overthrow the Beiyang Army for the sake of republic, democracy and freedom!" The trill in Lixiang's voice once again betrayed the city he pretended to be.

Zeng Gao stood behind him, and he had always been happy and didn't care. His face was a little more hesitant: "Marshal, do you have to send it?"

Li wanted to nod. Although he was complacent, it would not affect the operation of his brain. He knew what he was doing and said, "Why don't you send it? We work hard like this, just to hope that everyone will follow us to work hard together, that is, to tell the Beiyang Army that we will not admit defeat, that is, to tell the world that we will not admit defeat. Send this together with the news of the restoration of Nanjing, and the purpose has been achieved.

"But............"

Li Xiang waved his hand indifferently. Naturally, he knew why Zeng Gao hesitated and why. It's nothing more than a leak, and it's not the core secret of this battle. It's nothing more than reminding our enemies before the war and telling them that we're going to war. It's all about declaring war on the enemy..." He sneered, "Maybe Duan Qirui will be alert, but he will never take us seriously. We are not What a big man."

Zeng Gao said, "It's better to be cautious."

"Anla," Li wanted to turn around and clapped his hands on the shoulder of General Zeng Gao: "It can arouse the morale of tens of millions of people. This is not an opportunity we want... Let's do it! Just stir up this pool of stagnant water, change the color of the dark sky, make this battle earth-shaking, let everyone remember us, let history remember us, let this nation remember us, and see who will treat us as small people! With us, let's see who dares to say that our country is the boss of China, and who dares to say that our nation is the sick man of East Asia. Lao Gao, we still have a long way to go, and there are still many disasters in our country and the nation..."

Really, why does Marshal Li always like to say touching words? The corners of Zeng Gao's eyes are a little wet.

"Look, the general is playing tricks again!"

With the call of a small platoon leader to rectify the army, everyone raised their heads curiously, which was also a great spectacle in the army. I saw Li want to make Zhou Xingxing's ** smile for two minutes.

Then a messenger came out and shouted: Nanjing Guangfu!

The officers and soldiers who heard first followed the cheering voice. In a blink of an eye, the cheering sound became a piece, which was even more excited than Li Xiang's madness just now.

More people heard this exciting news, and even the officers who were rectifying the army turned their eyes away. The cheers are getting louder and louder. The officers and soldiers left their jobs, stopped to rectify the army, and all cheered excitedly. The whole valley fell into a crazy ocean.

This is the spirit!

Li Xiang's excited mood calmed down in the cheers.

This is the rare good weather in winter. The sun is bright and warm, and the sky in the south of the Yangtze River is as clear as a mirror. The clouds on the heads of the Beiyang Army over the soldiers and civilians in Hubei disappeared.

The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Nanjing Guangfu!

The cheers were grounded, and the revolutionary army was crazy, and the big brim hats were also thrown up, ups and downs under the clear blue sky and the sun.

From officers to soldiers, they shouted crazily to Li Xiang's location regardless.

If everyone is still worried about today's assembly, they are completely relieved to hear the news of Nanjing Guangfu.

The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Nanjing Guangfu! The end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is coming! The revolutionary army is not defeated! How much time can Yuan Shikai be arrogant? How can the revolutionaries give in to a dog raised in the Qing Dynasty? Don't you kowtow to the Qing dog Yuan Shikai?

Since the Qing dog Yuan Shikai commanded the destruction of the Beiyang dog Feng Guozhang to occupy Hankou, how long has it been since the Southern Revolutionary Army has not had such an exciting victory? Just when the revolutionary army was dark, I heard that Wuchang was talking about the alliance under the city. At that time, their hearts were dripping blood, and they were so depressed that they just wanted to sing and cry! Although the news of the restoration of Nanjing is thousands of miles away from them, just like Marshal Li's speech last night: You are all the best soldiers! They are all the most determined revolutionaries! In the Governor's Mansion, in the Liujia Temple, in the Sandao Bridge, on the shore of the Han River, even if the blood flow dried up, we did not bow to any enemies, including the foreigners who have been rampant in China for half a century! What is the little Beiyang Army in front of you? We are the revolutionary army, protect the country and the family, save the country and the people! We shoulder the hope of the nation... Your bravery is the pride of my life! The failure of Hankou is only temporary, and now our enemies are still destroying our homes! Our ideals, our mission, our glory are still waiting for us to fight!

At the beginning, Wuchang asked for peace, or General Li did not admit defeat and led them to carry out the revolution to the end!

The restoration of Nanjing has undoubtedly strengthened the revolutionary army's decision to General Li! After this incident, they will no longer doubt any orders from Marshal Li!

Zeng Gao looked at the scene like a surge of anger below and listened to the roar of the waves. Somehow, his eyes suddenly warmed up again. He forced himself to hold back his mood and said with a smile, "Grand Marshal. I really didn't expect that the morale of the army would be so excited because of the restoration of Nanjing!"

Li wanted to look at the scene in front of him and was slightly distracted for a moment. Hearing Zeng Gao's words, he nodded slowly: "The silent and numb Chinese nation has finally begun to awaken! This is the spirit of a nation, the soul of a new nation cast with the blood of our revolutionary soldiers! This represents the general trend of history, and China's revolutionary trend is bound to set a new high!"

The soul of this new nation, as Li Xiang said, is the hot-blooded casting of revolutionary soldiers. At the same time, it is also Li Xiang who is in front of infinite pressure and sweat all the way. Even in the most desperate time, he still paranoidly leads them to carry out the revolution to the end, which is almost taken back against the sky.

The heavens and the earth work together. In this way, Marshal Li took the luck in his hands.

Zeng Gao smiled and said, "A word from the general can make tens of thousands of tigers move forward. The military heart is like this, and it seems that it is time to show it.

Li Xiang laughed and boasted his ability to fool people. He was still very confident. It's a boost, but it's my specialty. If you don't say a few words at this time, it will disappoint the soldiers.

Li Xiang said that he had walked down the sea of cheering with a smile, and the voice below was even more deafening. Looking at Li Xiang coming over, the cheers below were higher. Looking over, many people were already in tears. Li wanted to look back subconsciously. He only saw that under the blue sky and white sun, in the roaring cold wind, the five-star red flag copied from later generations like him was waving in the wind, and the red of blood stung his eyes.

He is a traveler from China a hundred years later. Once a group of classmates ran to Tiananmen Square in the middle of the night to watch the flag-raising ceremony of the national flag class. Every National Day, at the door of every household, at the intersection of each street, there is a bright five-star red flag. In the 60-year National Day ceremony, at the grand military parade in Tiananmen Square, Beijing gathered people from all over the country and waved the national flag to welcome the National Day ceremony of the military parade. People all over the country stayed in front of the TV and shared the honor of a prosperous and powerful country. In the face of the five-star red flag, countless people shed tears.

But a hundred years ago, he faced a nation that had lost its soul and a motherland without a national flag.

I still remember that when I first walked on the streets of Hankou a hundred years ago, a group of students from a foreign school lectured, marched and petitioned on the street, but the people were silent and numb, and the officials were arrogant and arrogant. Everything seemed to have stagnated hundreds of years ago and had not changed. Several docks have been opened, buying foreign guns, military ships and machines. However, the concept of the country and the modern nation, except for a few petitioning students and several rebellious revolutionaries, do not seem to have stirred up any waves in this stagnant pool of water.

When will these silent Chinese people begin to care about national affairs, cheer for a victory, and die desperately for an ideal? Li's eyes are a little hot.

Suddenly, Zeng Gao seemed to return to Wuchang. On that night, in the dark rain, the soul of the nation began to awaken. There was a fire in the depths of the night sky, and the smoke did not disperse all night. Li wanted to take the lead in rushing to the Eight Towns Headquarters. He insisted on the lack of leadership, because a rumored new army rushed to find a way out and complete the miracle that the alliance would fail many times.

Is this caused by luck?

The general trend of the world, the national fortune, is it really turned over by him and mastered by him?

How did he catch the luck? Why did you take on the burden that no one can stretch on the night of Wuchang?

Zeng Gao understood a little in a trance, but he still couldn't figure it out. Of course, he doesn't know. Li Xiang is a time traveler. He knows history, and he knows the trend!

Li Xiangte raised his right hand as a fascist.

The cheers stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Li's behavior inexplicably.

Li wanted to open his voice and shouted with all his strength, "Today, we are standing here!" Stand on the land of the nation! This piece of land that our ancestors watered with blood and dignity! We are not cattle and horses, we are human beings! It is a Chinese nation with a history of 5,000 years that has never yielded! In today's World War, we are fighting for those who enslave us to get out of our land! We are fighting for the liberation of this country! We are fighting for the glory of our ancestors for 5,000 years! We are proud to preach for our children and grandchildren that we fight for the Chinese nation that never gives in!"

I don't know who shouted first, and then the messy voice turned into a voice. It shakes the sky and the earth, as if the world can be lifted.

"Marshal Li! ............”

The army rushed to the Xiaochang area.

Originally, the official road from Xiaochang to Anlu is now full of chaotic people. A group of ragged and dark-faced refugees fled from the Beiyang army-occupied area with their poor belongings. They are rushing to spend the winter, ploughing the skinny cattle, pushing the car, supporting the old man, and carrying the child. He walked forward numbly. Some people are covered with blood, and some people still hold corpses that have lost their breath. It keeps pouring in.

Huang Guangzhong, the head of Anlu County, who was personally appointed by Li Xiang, was sweating on his side, leading the newly formed militia, commanding and responding in an orderly manner, and constantly pouring refugees on the road. The militiamen of Anlu were also full of panic, calling the names of their relatives on both sides of the flow of people. When you find a swary, you will cry. The whole way was full of cries and wailing.

Li Xiang couldn't believe that the destruction of the Beiyang Army had reached a heinous level. Has Hubei become like this?

When Li wanted to appear in the refugee trend with the revolutionary army, the crowd made a louder noise. Seeing these cyan Western-style military uniforms and soldiers wearing large-brimmed hats, he seemed to see the savior.

Look at this chaotic scene, look at this hellish scene. Immediately, Li Xiang was in a trance and couldn't say a word. He grabbed the reins, strangled his fingers white, and drove the horse silently.

The revolutionary soldiers behind them were all silent as gold, and their steel teeth were about to be broken. The heart has never been so heavy, and the weight of responsibility has never been so clearly felt. Shouldering the hope of the nation is no longer a lyric, no longer an empty word inspired by Marshal Li, but a living and bloody reality in front of them!

On the field, there is still a flow of people who can't see the head at a glance. The cold wind swept by, and Li Xiang was cold all over. The clearest time since crossing is to feel the responsibility of history! The suffering of this nation, even if he is hard-hearted, can't bear to look at it!

Someone recognized the young general who was silent immediately. It was Marshal Li who captured Zhang Xiyuan alive. With a loud cry, he suddenly ran to Li Xiangma and fell down.

"Marshal Li! Live me! Live the people of Hubei Province!"

People bowed down one after another. Thousands of people curled up there and saw the calm figure as a mountain, just like seeing the savior falling from the sky. The tears of these people were even more turbulent, moving with a cry.

Huang Guangzhong has run over, and his voice seems to ring in Li Xiang's ear: "The Beiyang army and about 30,000 troops from the south. Feng Guozhang burned Xiaogan and Hankou. Duan Qirui's second army stationed in Xiaogan, looted grain and grass everywhere, and became strong. The Beiyang army suddenly became a disaster area like locusts, forcing the people along the way. Escaping from the Beiyang army-occupied area, I am close to Xiaogan and Xiaochang, and the influx of people in the two cities, which makes my burden more than a catty now.

Li Xiang's face turned pale. I just clenched my fist hard. It will be over soon."

"How long will it be soon?"

Li Xiangmeng drank it out: "It's today! I will make Beiyang animals pay for their blood!"

When night falls, the weather is sunny during the day, and a rare moonlight is also revealed in the early winter night. The clear and cold moonlight shines on the barren mountains on both sides of the Beijing-Han Railway, which belong to the remnants of Dabie Mountain.

Behind a big stone, Li's head was like a thief. He was holding a telescope and looking at Huaxi, which belongs to the west side of Xiaochang Station. It was quiet and unpopular, and he only heard the ghosts of the cold wind on the mountain.

Xiaogan, the Beiyang Second Army stationed in the Xiaochang area next to Duan Qirui, is in the north of Xiaogan. At this time, the strategic position is very important, and the competition with the Beiyang Army is quite fierce. The Beiyang Army is stationed with strong soldiers in important strong positions in this area.

Especially outside Dawu City, in the battle of Li Dian, the Beiyang army went south for the first time, and at the same time, Feng Guozhang's confidence in victory was frustrated. Originally, based on many years of combat experience, he was confident that the Beiyang army's artillery will far outpert the bandit army. The superior artillery fire in the position attack will help a lot. In the Battle of Dawu, it also proved his speculation. In addition, the Beiyang Army has a long-trained division and has a great possibility of success in the initial construction of the bandit army. In the battle outside the battlefields of Yangzhai and Lidian, it is also It could be seen that the bandit army was a little immature in the battle, but the bandit army's determination to resist to the death was completely beyond his expectation. In the white battle of Lidian, those Beiyang veterans talked about it. The bandit army of Li Xiang, who is based on Li's store, has become a thorn in Feng Guozhang's eyes when he first entered Hubei, and he can't wait to pull it out. It was planned that Li Chun, the sixth town, would enter Yangzhai, occupy Lidian, control the entire railway line, and the driver would attack Guangshui, hoping to completely eliminate Li Xiang, a tenacious banditry. However, he was suppressed by Yuan Shikai, who was sitting in Xinyang. Li Xiang, such an unknown boy, was not worthy of Yuan Shikai's attention. He only saw Huang Xing and Li Yuanhong in his eyes. What he wanted was Hankou, and he didn't want to waste time on such a little person as Li Xiang. Yuan Shikai even made a telegram and intervened with Feng Guozhang's command, so that he should not be entangled with Li Xiang. It was the business to take down Yangxia.

Feng Guozhang looked up to Li Xiang, but he couldn't resist Yuan Shikai's order. Feng Guozhang continued to go south, but sent heavy troops to guard the back road. In Wushengguan, Dawu County, Xiaochang County and other areas, many new strongholds were established on the basis of the original railway station, posing a great threat to Li Xiang's traffic raid.

According to the general's combat plan, Li Xiang took the lead in bringing the cavalry regiment to Xiaochang. Just before leaving, he received a shocking news: Nanjing Guangfu! He laughed for two minutes.

The world is the same!

After he announced the news, the whole valley cheered and shocked. He took out a telegram and shouted to the whole country. The slogan of the Hubei Revolutionary Army vowed to carry out the revolution to the end! The demoralization of the people in Hubei, which was devastated by the Beiyang Army, was rekindled at this moment.

At this time, there are more good things happening in Wuchang, but it is not what Li Xiang can expect.

At this time, he was struggling to assign combat tasks in this panicked wilderness and was ready to fight with the Beiyang Army.
