Chapter 49: Zhonghe Gate Blocks the Enemy

It was not long before 6 pm, and the sky was not completely dark. Suddenly, gunfire sounds in the city, and there was a huge fire outside Wusheng Gate. Deng Yulin knew that the uprising had begun, immediately rushed out of the horse shed, fired into the sky, and shouted to grab the cannon and lead the horse. The comrades rushed out of the dormitory one after another, some dragged out the mountain cannons and fired in the small playground to express their response to the uprising. Some pried open the gunpowder depot and seized the cannon, and some pulled out the horses from the horse shed, preparing to trap the cart. Deng Yulin pulled out the nine-angle eighteen-star flag from his arms and asked the soldiers to hang it up quickly. A soldier found two bamboo poles with mosquito nets from the house, hung up the flag, and tied it to the cannon. The red flag immediately flew.

At this time, the cannon 8 Biao led Gong Guangming to visit the north without returning. The officer Zhuo Zhanbiao raised his phoenix and ran to the playground with his teeth and claws, holding a gun to stop the soldiers from pulling the cannon. But the soldiers didn't listen to him, and they should do whatever they should do. Zhuo Zhanbiao, Yang Qifeng did not dare to shoot, so he hurried back to report to the trap Jiang Mingjing and said: "The soldiers are already rioting, please take Jiang Guan lead the soldiers to suppress the bullet." Jiang Mingjing hummed with a nose and said: "Zhang Biao has not even had any trouble."

How can I do anything good? I advise you two not to worry about it, so as not to worry about the soldiers being anxious and your lives are not guaranteed." Zhuo Zhanbiao said anxiously: "Soldiers are rioting, and if the superiors do not interfere, they may be implicated." Jiang Mingjing mocked them and said: "Do you two think they will not be implicated if they control them? If they cannot stop them, they will still be dismissed from their posts and investigate. There are only two ways now, either join the revolutionary army or run away quickly?"

Zhuo Zhanbiao and Yang Qifeng thought about it and had no courage to join the revolutionary army, so they had to run away.

After a while of turmoil, the soldiers hung up the cannons on the car. The car was filled with shells, and the horses were also put on the car. They were waiting for the shells, and the horses were also put on the car. They were waiting for a command to advance toward Zhonghe Gate. Deng Yulin and Xu Wanfa suddenly discovered that the manager Jiang Mingjing, He Liguo and several team officials were also standing in the team. Deng Yulin was both happy and surprised. He ran a few steps and hurried up to take Jiang Mingjing's hand and said, "I didn't contact you yesterday, and I thought something happened to you." Jiang Mingjing smiled and said, "You also know that our Nanhu artillery team has always been thorns. How can this revolution cause them to rebel against the Qing Dynasty be missing us? Come on, we still have extra firearms here. Let's divide it up quickly and go together..."

Deng Yulin laughed at the ear, "Yes, yes... go together... go together, let's conquer their Qing Dynasty together."

After the two teams joined together, their strength suddenly increased greatly, and they soon won the entire 8th cannon mark.

Deng Yulin ordered another order to fire three guns in a row to show his military power. A cannon slowly turned the gun mouth and headed towards the sky above Wuchang City. Three rays of fire roared, crossing Wuchang City in an arc and landed in the Yangtze River, arousing the water column soaring into the sky. The rumbling cannon sounded the sound of Wuchang City, inspiring the courage of the uprising soldiers, hitting the morale of the defending Qing soldiers, and shocking people within a radius of dozens of miles. Among the ches, horses and horses, the 8th cannon mark maintained the entire mark and advanced bravely towards the Zhonghe Gate of Wuchang.

At that time, the 8th Battalion and the 32nd Battalion were near the 8th Battalion. Hearing the rumbling of cannons in the artillery, people shouted and neighed, and knew that something had happened. Yu Hualong, the 8th Battalion and the 32nd Battalion, Sun Guoan, hurriedly sent someone to ride a horse to report to Tiezhong. Tiezhong was shocked and hurriedly issued an order asking Yu Hualong and Sun Guobin to quickly send troops to encircle and suppress the 8th Battalion.

At that time, 70% of the cavalry's 8th tier participated in the revolutionary activities, but no chief joined. On October 9, the revolutionary representative of the horse team, Qi Guojun, learned about it and immediately prepared for action. Unexpectedly, he waited anxiously for a night but didn't even have any news. He didn't know that something happened until dawn. He didn't expect that before dinner time came tonight, Qi Guojun saw a fire outside the city, gunfire sounds loudly in the city, and gunfire rumbling in the 8th tier. Knowing that the uprising had begun, he hurriedly summoned comrades to follow the artillery team and enter the city to participate in the uprising.

Yu Hualong received Tiezhong's order and had not organized troops to attack. He had already seen the chaos in the signs, some were standing in the team, some were watching, and a few officers came to him for advice. He was not safe, so he could still send troops to encircle and suppress the 8 artillery. He could only take Tiezhong's order and walk around the door twice. He really didn't dare to provoke these soldiers who were about to revolt, pretending to be stupid and not implementing Tiezhong's orders.

The 32nd Band stayed in Nanhu, only two teams on the left and right of the 2nd Battalion, plus the veterans left behind in other battalions, had more than 400 new recruits. The 32nd Band Revolutionary Representative Sun Changfu once and Meng Facheng, the 8th Band of the Artillery Team, and Qi Guojun, agreed to act together. At this time, when the 8th Band of the Artillery Team, heard the sound of cannons sounded, the revolutionary party Zheng Wenbin and Wang Lipeng immediately set fire in the kitchen to respond. After a while, the blazing fire illuminated the entire barracks of the 32nd Band. At this time, the 8th Band sent to contact, and Jin Mingshan, who was mobilized, ran to the playground and shouted: "The 8th Band of the Artillery Team has revolted and entered the city. I would like to ask you to cover it." The soldiers of the 32nd Band were even more excited after hearing this. The revolutionary party Dai Hongbing blew a whistle in the playground, and the left-behind members of the battalion rushed out one after another to revolt into the city with the revolutionaries.

Although Sun Guoan received an order from Tiezhong to encircle and suppress the 8th cannon, he was powerless.

Tiezhong saw that his order was no longer effective and was very angry. He sent another telegram to urge Sun Guoan, who was 32, to quickly chase and suppress the cannon 8. The telegram said: "If the cannon 8 cannon cannon be extinguished, I will report to the commander. If you wait and see, you will be punished immediately." Sun Guoan had no choice but to send a team official Chu Ying to lead a team of soldiers who gathered together in a hurry to pursue the cannon 8.

Chu Ying gritted his teeth and led the team to Wutaizha outside Zhonghe Gate. He no longer dared to go forward, but ordered the troops to fire guns into the city. Not far away from here was Ma Rong. Hearing the gunshots, he knew that it was Qing soldiers coming to make trouble, so he immediately led a row of troops to rush towards Chu Ying. The revolutionary soldiers were extremely brave and charged forward bravely, killing Chu Ying's team to retreat.

Chu Ying was already afraid of fighting, and the revolutionaries in the team took the opportunity to incite some soldiers to rebel, so Chu Ying could no longer control the situation, so he had to lead the defeated general back to the 32-Bian Barracks. As soon as he arrived at the barracks, he met the 32-Bian soldiers led by Sun Changfu to respond to the uprising. The soldiers of our team also mutinized. When Chu Ying saw that if the soldiers were stopped from revolting, he might be unable to save their lives and had to escape alone.

The 8th Cannon was successfully entered the city under the cover of Jin Zhaorong, Ma Rong, Xu Shaobin and others. After entering the city, the eighth Cannon was immediately closed. According to the order of the uprising, four cannons were placed on the wall of Zhonghemen, and violently bombarded the Qing army camp outside the city. Suddenly, there were fire in the Qing army camp, and the sound of cannons rumbling. Wherever the shells hit, the walls collapsed, and the dense Qing soldiers lay down. The incomplete bodies of the Qing soldiers, the groans of the injured soldiers, the uncertainty of the situation, and the huge panic in their hearts greatly shakes the Qing army's front. They immediately blocked the two Qing soldiers ordered to enter the city to wipe out the revolution.
