wait!

Tang Xiangming knew in his heart that Yuan Datou did not want to confront Shen Hao.

Now ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor is the big deal.

Immediately, Tang Xiangming called Wang Zhanyuan back and said he was helpless.

This made Wang Zhanyuan feel unconvinced.

Now that he finally got rid of Duan Zhigui, he finally had the opportunity to aspire for the position of general.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiluan came.

As a polished commander, Wang Zhanyuan didn't take him seriously yet, but it was different now. Zhang Xiluan relied on the big tree of Shen Hao.

Once Zhang Xiluan secures his position as Hubei general, Wang Zhanyuan will never think about getting ahead in Hubei again in his life.

You can't become a general unless you change provinces.

There was a moment of reluctance in his heart, but Tang Xiangming didn't help, and Wang Zhanyuan couldn't make up his mind.

Shen Hao was not used to Wang Zhanyuan's problems and asked Zhang Xiluan to start the fight.

Now that his master has spoken, Zhang Xiluan no longer hesitates.

So, he ordered to prepare for the attack.

Wang Zhanyuan's fourth brigade, who was defending, saw that Zhang Xiluan had already drawn up his posture and was ready to attack for real.

Reported to Wang Zhanyuan immediately.

After hearing the news, Wang Zhanyuan snorted coldly:"How dare a humble man to be so arrogant? Let 's have a fight first.

Order Lu Fengxiang of the 4th Brigade and Li Shuizhi of the 3rd Brigade to guard them and prevent them from crossing Beihuanggang."

After the order was issued, the third and fourth brigades immediately completed defensive work.

Zhang Xiluan did not expect that Wang Zhanyuan was not timid at all.

The two sides opened up their stances, their swords and crossbows tense.

Seeing this, a trace of disdain flashed in the corner of Zhang Xiluan's eyes.

Although I only took one brigade this time.

But it is well equipped, with one regiment and three machine gun companies.

Two 150mm heavy howitzers.

Not to mention the second division that attacked Wang Zhanyuan.

Zhang Xiluan also had this confidence in defeating Yuan Shikai's elite Beiyang Army.

With an order.

All the artillery pieces of the artillery regiment fired in unison.

The bomb was like a meteor, streaking through the air and accurately hitting the enemy's position.

There were loud rumbling sounds in one continuous sound.

In an instant, there were countless casualties.

Wang Zhanyuan's third and fourth brigades were directly stunned by the bombing.

Looking at the broken limbs and broken arms around me, I was scared to death.

In previous battles, both sides used Hanyang to shoot at each other.

The artillery fire also comes occasionally, but there is no such direct fire coverage.

Just one round of artillery fire made them terrified.

Before they could recover, another round of artillery fire came.

Not only that, with the cover of artillery fire, Zhang Xiluan watched the soldiers begin to charge.

Although there was only one brigade, it rushed forward with momentum like a mountain torrent.

This was the first time Zhang Xiluan saw such an elite soldier, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

The key point is that such an elite team is just a brigade. There are dozens of such brigades in Shen Hao. What a shame.

He is also more optimistic about Shen Hao's future.

This time the firepower covered a wider area, covering the entire position.

Wang Zhanyuan's two brigades had a defensive surface of only a few hundred meters, and most of their personnel were together.

Therefore, two rounds of artillery fire killed three-tenths of the soldiers.

Such a huge battle loss ratio directly caused many people to lose their will to fight.

The third brigade was standing at the forefront of the defense. The soldiers collapsed immediately, and many people abandoned their guns and fled.

Some even jumped into the river to escape.

Even those supervising the battle from behind couldn't do anything, there were too many people running away.

The defense directly exposed a huge gap.

Following this, there was crossfire from light machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns.

The powerful firepower output suppressed them and they couldn't even lift their heads.

After just one face-to-face meeting, many soldiers had no intention of fighting.

They had never seen such fierce artillery fire.

The dense bullets flew over the head like a violent storm.

The bullets flew over the top, and the sonic boom sound made their scalps numb.

Many people even hid in the trenches and shivered before showing their heads.

The surroundings were filled with the smell of blood and burnt earth, which was nauseating.

This was the first time they had encountered such a cruel battlefield.

Wang Zhanyuan treated them either by beating or scolding them on weekdays. He never gave them full military pay, and either deducted this or that.

Asking them to work for Wang Zhanyuan, they have ten million unclear wishes in their hearts.

What's more, the opponent's firepower is so fierce.

Saving one's life is what matters. kill! kill! kill!

With bursts of shouts of killing, they directly occupied the position.

Many people even raised their guns and surrendered.

There is no so-called ideal in being a soldier these days. It's all about having food to eat, so you have to work hard to survive.

Wang Zhanyuan's Third Brigade, who was guarding the front, directly chose to surrender.

The fourth brigade had been scared away long ago and had no inclination to fight at all.

In less than an hour, the enemy position was breached. The battle was fought so quickly that Zhang Xiluan was pleasantly surprised.

This battle was a blast.

After arriving at the position, Zhang Xiluan finally understood.

After several rounds of artillery fire, more than half were killed or injured. The soldiers were holding Hanyang-made bullets, and each soldier only had about ten rounds of bullets.

Even the guy at the back didn't even have a gun, he had a big blade.

Wait until the person in front is dead before adding the gun.

Moreover, the two brigades only have two 75mm mountain guns.

There is only one heavy machine gun, which is a Japanese three-year-old heavy machine gun.

Firepower is not on the same level at all.

The third brigade was captured, more than 2,000 people were captured, and more than 1,000 people died.

Zhang Xiluan directly led his troops into Huanggang, preparing to march to Wuhan.

The third brigade was destroyed and the fourth brigade collapsed and fled.

After hearing the news, Wang Zhanyuan's brain exploded and went blank.

Incompetent and furious, he smashed everything in the study

"Waste, waste, if two brigades cannot defeat one brigade, forget it.

In less than an hour, everyone was wiped out?

Damn it, did I raise a bunch of pigs?"

Wang Zhanyuan was furious. He only had four brigades in his hands. Now half of his strength was gone, which made him regretful.

"Master, do you still want to defend yourself?"The chief of staff beside him said cautiously;

Wang Zhanyuan kicked her and said:"I'm guarding your mother, what should I do to guard you? (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

You haven’t welcomed General Zhang to the Governor’s Mansion yet."

A trace of humiliation flashed through the eyes of the Chief of Staff, but he still said:"Yes, Commander."

With Wang Zhanyuan’s words, all the defenders They all took the initiative to open the city gate and chose to let Zhang Xiluan enter Wuhan.

When Zhang Xiluan led his troops to Wuhan again, looking at the luxurious Governor's Mansion in front of him, he sneered in his heart.

At first, Zhang Xiluan was ordered to come to Hubei to take office.

Wang Zhanyuan led his troops to prevent him from entering the Governor's Palace. The governor's office in Hubei drove him out of Hubei.

Now, the Governor's Palace in Hubei opened the door to let him in. At this moment, Zhang Xiluan felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, feeling hearty and all the cells in his body were dancing. After

Wuhan was completely taken over, Zhang Xiluan just Less than an hour after entering the Governor's Mansion, the guard loudly shouted:"Report to General Zhang, the commander of the Second Division, Wang Zhanyuan, wants to see him."

Zhang Xiluan's mind instantly flashed to a few days ago, when Wang Zhanyuan looked at him arrogantly and contemptuously, telling him to get out of Hubei. scene.

At the beginning, he had no soldiers and was just a bare commander.

Now that he has returned with strength, things have really changed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiluan breathed out a bad breath in his heart, and his whole body became excited.

Zhang Xiluan said:"Let Wang Zhanyuan come in."

After a moment, Wang Zhanyuan Under the leadership of the guard, he walked in with a smile.

After putting down the gift, Wang Zhanyuan said with an apologetic smile:

"General Zhang misunderstood, it was all a misunderstanding. The flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple, and one family did not recognize the other.

You should take more care of me."

Zhang Xiluan sneered in his heart.

Misunderstanding?

This is shameless. If you hadn't suffered a defeat, would you have apologized like a dog?

Zhang Xiluan wouldn't be a bad person, if he didn't have a brigade given by Shen Hao.

Can Wang Zhanyuan be so easy to talk to?

Think about it again, when he was in Fengtian, he was manipulated by his godson Zhang Zuolin because he had no soldiers.

Zhang Zuolin almost had the final say in the entire Fengtian officials, and he, the general, became a decoration.

Now with Shen Hao's With support, Zhang Xiluan finally looked like a general.

Zhang Xiluan said coldly with no expression on his face:"Isn't this Wang Zhanyuan, the commander of the 2nd Division?

Why are you here to declare war?

You dare to disobey President Yuan's order and prevent me, Zhang Xiluan, from entering the Governor's Mansion. how?

I was arrogant at first, but now I don't dare to admit it. I dare not admit it."

Wang Zhanyuan immediately clasped his fists and said:"General Zhang, you misunderstood. You have really wronged me.

At first I was blinded by lard.

It's not my fault, it was President Yuan who asked me to do this.

How dare I disobey orders? I am also a victim.

President Yuan ordered you not to enter."

Zhang Xiluan glared at Wang Zhanyuan and said,"It was President Yuan's problem before, so what happened to the defenders today? Wang Zhanyuan said again:"

Speaking of this, I have to thank General Zhang for helping me eliminate the rebels."

Otherwise I would still be in the dark.

The Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade, these two idiots, didn't know whose deceit they heard, so they chose to snipe General Zhang.

Now that General Zhang has captured them, he has done me a favor."

Zhang Xiluan felt more and more disgusted when he saw the despicable and shameless Wang Zhanyuan talking so sweetly. He snorted coldly and said,"Since Mr. Wang said so.

I just happened to have captured Li Shuzhi of the third brigade.

Now the commander of the fourth brigade, Lu Fengxiang, is still alive.

Since it was Master Wang's men who rebelled, let him handle it.

I'll give Commander Wang one day. If you can't get Lu Fengxiang's head, don't blame me for being rude."

With Shen Hao's elite brigade in hand, Zhang Xiluan became much tougher in his speech.

Now, he wants to take Wang Zhanyuan's life.

If Wang Zhanyuan killed Lu Fengxiang, the commander of the fourth brigade, and Wang Zhanyuan completely lost his military morale.

If Wang Zhanyuan did not hand over Lu Fengxiang, then Zhang Xiluan would use it as an excuse to send troops.

Hearing this, Wang Zhanyuan's mouth twitched.

In his heart Gritting his teeth with hatred.

He did not expect that the old man Zhang Xiluan would be so cruel.

Killing Lu Fengxiang, who is his direct descendant, wouldn't this dig into his roots?

If he didn't kill him, it would give Zhang Xiluan another excuse.

Chapter 2 The third and fourth brigades are all his direct descendants. He ordered the sniper attack, and of course they are not rebels.

If he were to handle it personally and give Lu Fengxiang the title of rebel, wouldn't this be murderous and heart-breaking?

Then the morale of the military will be unstable. , who dares to sacrifice his life for him?

Wang Zhanyuan looked at Zhang Xiluan with red eyes, and said angrily:"Does General Zhang have to be so desperate?"

Zhang Xiluan said coldly:"If you don't give me an explanation, then don't blame me for doing it myself."

Wang Zhanyuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said:"Okay, in one day, I will personally deliver Lu Fengxiang's head."

After that, , Wang Zhanyuan turned and left.

Looking at Wang Zhanyuan's back, the staff officer next to him said:"General Zhang, just let Wang Zhanyuan go, why not just kill him?"".
