Chapter 25: Linxi's Hard Fight (1)

Liu Jingxiao and Guo Junqing first arrived at the East City guarded by Murong Xuehai. At first glance, Liu Jingxiao had to admit that Murong Xuehai's construction level was the best in the entire army, far above him. Murong Xuehai and several cadres quickly discovered them and hurriedly brought people to meet them.

The defense of Dongguan is in danger. The fortifications of the Third Battalion are very cleverly made. Traps and ropes are made in the distance, and fences, Luzhai, trenches, and traffic trenches are built nearby. Then, using the original fortifications of the Ruijun can not only exert their firepower advantages, but also make the Rouran army difficult to move forward.

So to the present, the Third Battalion has only suffered more than 20 casualties, and the Rouran Army has repeatedly attacked, and hundreds of casualties have stopped being forced to attack. Guangliu Jingxiao saw with his own eyes that there were fifty or sixty abandoned corpses of the Rouran Army outside the East Pass.

Seeing this, Liu Jingxiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Murong, you are fighting well! After this battle, I will let everyone see your fortifications!"

Murong Xuehai was also very happy. One of the important reasons why he was expelled from the house was because of this city-building technique. Today, I saw a master who knew the goods. So I pulled Liu Jingxiao for a long time. Liu Jingxiao also praised him a few words, then stood up to say goodbye, and went to Nancheng with Guo Junqing.

The defense of Nancheng was relatively easy. A Ruijun battalion guarding Nanguan was a battalion. The more than a hundred people who fled back to the city of Lu Liba were reorganized and reorganized, and then they became a complete infantry battalion. They were placed at the gate of Beicheng City and were directly controlled by Chen Zhenlong, ready to counterattack at any time.

In addition, there is a fixed artillery brigade in the south city. The so-called artillery brigade, which is a fixed fortress heavy artillery, has a greater advantage in firepower than the Rouran Army.

Liu Jingxiao walked into the fort with the two officers leading the way. He saw more than a dozen naked men busy restoring the cannons to clean the cannon, and they were working very hard there. Guo Junqing exclaimed "ah" and retreated. However, Liu Jingxiao didn't care and shouted loudly: "Is the guardian Chen here?"

A man jumped out of the group of naked men. After a closer look, it was Chen Zhenlong, but he was so slim on his upper body and only had a pair of shorts on his lower body. He was less rich, but he had more capable aura. Chen Zhenlong smiled at Liu Jingxiao and shouted to his subordinates: "Hurry up!"

At this time, the autumn wind was cold, but the soldiers did not feel the chill, shouted loudly and stepped up the reset of the artillery. Seeing this, Liu Jingxiao said, "Chen Guardian, although your form is a bit indecent, I feel relieved in everything!"

Chen Zhenlong raised a large cannonball with an officer and soldier, and said with a bold look, "You can just rest assured here in Nancheng, I have no problems!"

With a "boom", a heavy shell fell into the formation of the Rouran Army outside the city. When the black smoke and dust dissipated, there was a circular black hole on the ground, and three or four corpses fell.

However, Liu Jingxiao was still a little worried about these old soldiers. She walked out of the fort and found several Ruijun officers and asked: "Is there any way to Rouran people?"

These officers all said: "Col. Liu, don't worry! Our family property is in Linxi, so how can we let Rourans ruin it! We can only fight to the end!"

The Rouran rebels have always been brutal, and shooting and killing women from surrendered soldiers are common. After the city is broken, they burned, killed, plundered and committed all kinds of evil, and even massacred the city. These Rui army officers have fought with the Rouran people for many years and have always had hatred. They know that after the city is broken, not only will they die, but even their wives, children, and young people cannot survive, and they can only fight to the end.

Liu Jingxiao was relieved and returned to the North City. Wanyan Yuzhuo was waiting for him. As soon as he saw him, he rushed over and threw himself into his arms, regardless of how many Rouran people he had killed, just wanted to lean in his arms.

Liu Jingxiao could only feel tenderness on one hand, but on the other hand, she asked Li Heyi about the battle situation here. She knew that after he left, the Rouran army launched four consecutive attacks, but in the end she returned in vain.

At this time, two more people came to the war and shouted: "Who is Mr. Liu Jingxiao?"

Liu Jingxiao saw carefully that Lu Da, the company commander of the baggage company, seemed to be a postman behind, and said loudly: "I am!"

Wanyan Yuzhuo then remembered that this action seemed too intimate in front of others, so he quickly avoided it. While taking out a telegram from his backpack behind him, the postman said to Liu Jingxiao: "Your telegram!"

Liu Jingxiao took the telegram and opened it and saw it. It said: "Brother Jingxiao, I heard that you are guarding the city in Linxi. Brothers admired it very much. Linxi is a place of bitterness and coldness. Brothers know that they really can't stand the suffering, so they can only hope that the old brother can defeat the barbarians and return soon. But when he heard that the old brother was newly married, he didn't know what the bride liked, he could only send two thousand green flies to let the bride buy new clothes. When the brother returns for a long battle, the brother will welcome the bride again."

The signature behind this telegram is General Haiwei, Lieutenant General, General, Guarantor of the Issuance of Public Debts, and Xu Zhen, Commander-in-Chief of the National Neihu Fleet.

Wanyan Yuzhuo also turned her head to watch the telegram. The telegram was not verbal, and it could be said that it was full of jokes. She couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth, but it was a bit fascinating. Seeing the last signature, she asked, "Is it the Xu Zhen in Nanjing? Two thousand green flies? How much does it cost?"

Liu Jingxiao nodded and said, "It's him! Qingfeng refers to copper coins, probably twenty yuan."

Li Heyi stood beside Liu Jingxiao and happened to read the full text of the telegram. He didn't know who Xu Zhen was, but only knew that these twenty dollars were equivalent to the military pay he received in two months. He asked in confusion: "What is the origin of this Xu Zhen?"
