Chapter 47 Kill well!
The situation of the Revolutionary Army is not good now, and it is possible to fall apart at any time. Fortunately, the savior is here to pull him...
When the remnants of the revolutionary army with low morale arrived in Shucheng, they suddenly welcomed a mysterious team with nearly two thousand troops. The momentum of the revolutionary army is much stronger than that of today. It is the main force of the Restoration Army led by Wang Siliang!
The Revolutionary Army was shocked by the sudden emergence of this army. When they hurriedly set up a formation to prepare for battle, they realized that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple, and everyone was comrades from the revolutionary party camp.
The main force of the Restoration Army led by Xiong Chengji and Wang Siliang completed the meeting, and the momentum rose sharply. He immediately turned around and gave the Qing army Wang Shizhen's troops who were determined to make contributions. The attack made Wang Shizhen's troops lose their souls and lose their troops. They left thousands of corpses and retreated in a panic. The revolutionary coalition wiped out the previous decline. Some of the surrounding party armed forces who escaped from Zhu Jiabao's previous cleaning operation joined in as they saw the opportunity, shouting fiercely to attack Hefei, giving Zhu Jiabao a ruthless move.
Fan Chuanjia and Wang Siliang are old acquaintances. Now they meet very happily and are busy asking about each other's recent situation. With the addition of the Restoration Army, Xiong Chengji was happy to regain confidence and wanted to take over Hefei in one fell swoop when the revolutionary coalition forces were in full swing, laying a good foundation for the future of the Revolutionary Army.
After discussion, the opinions of a group of senior executives did not achieve Xiong Chengji's goal.
Wang Siliang is not as optimistic as Xiong Chengji. He did not come out this time to help Xiong Chengji seize Hefei. The original plan was to wait for Xiong Chengji to retreat from Anqing after Xiong Chengji was defeated and resigned with revolutionary forces in northern Anhui to respond to the south to attract the attention of the government and block the Qing army that went south to suppress the rebellion. Now the goal is almost achieved, so there is no need to take this risk again, right?
For this reason, Xiong Chengji was very displeased at the high-level meeting due to disagreement. However, in order to achieve the ultimate goal this time, he found Xiong Chengji while the revolutionary coalition was camping and resting, and wanted to talk to him about the current situation. After all, Xiong Chengji has been leading his troops to fight everywhere and has no idea about the situation outside. If he can really win Hefei in one go, he will definitely support it with all his strength, but the current situation is...
Wang Siliang's sudden visit surprised Xiong Chengji. After receiving the gesture of Wang Siliang's eyes, he knew that there might be something important to discuss, so he asked the adjutant to stay outside the door without considering it, so he did not let others disturb him.
"Commander-in-chief, it's not the decision to attack Hefei that I don't support. It's really the current situation is not good for us. You may not know that after Zhu Jiabao learned that our goal was Hefei, he mobilized the Qing army to support Hefei. Hefei has gathered more than tens of thousands of Qing troops. It is not something we can attack in a short time, just by occupying the city." Wang Siliang sat down without talking nonsense and headed straight to the point, staring at Xiong Chengji's reaction with bright eyes.
Xiong Chengji's face darkened, but he didn't say anything, waiting to think about it.
Nodding, Wang Siliang continued to explain: "Not only that, but we also received accurate information. The Jiang Guitei team of Wuyi Army has entered Anhui. The cavalry brigade of his troops is less than three days away from Hefei, and is a strong enemy. These are nothing. What I worry most is that at the critical moment of attacking Hefei, they suddenly rushed out and stab us in the back, and that would be absolutely doomed!"
Xiong Chengji suddenly stood up, walking around the tent with a gloomy face, feeling indescribable loss and boredom...
Wang Siliang looked at him and continued to say: "The vanguard cavalry brigade of Jiang Gui's ranks have only more than 500 people. In addition to excellent mobility, it may not necessarily be able to take much advantage in front of us. However, the subsequent Henan Provincial Army had more than 5,000 people, and there were horses and the artillery team was well-equipped and had good equipment. At present, the revolutionaries in Hefei City were closely monitored by the government, and coupled with Zhu Jiabao's previous harsh blow, it is difficult for us to do it. As for the party, you know their temperament. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for them to raise an army to respond!"
"Do we have no hope at all?" Xiong Chengji murmured to himself in a daze. Seeing Wang Siliang bow his head and remain silent, he couldn't help but laugh, looking up at the top of the tent with his eyes blank, his mood fluctuating and unable to calm down. Thinking about the high spirits when he captured Anqing a few months ago, who would have thought that the Revolutionary Army would fall into such a desperate situation now!
The atmosphere in the tent was extremely dull and depressing, but neither of them spoke to break the dullness. Until Fan Chuanjia came to the door excitedly, he looked at the two of them in surprise, noticed something but did not ask, and exchanged warm greetings with Wang Siliang for a while. After a little revitalizing the atmosphere, he asked impatiently: "During this period, the revolutionary army company and the Qing army have completely lost contact with the outside world. I wonder how Anqing is doing?"
Wang Siliang shook his head, Xiong and Fan were shocked and his face was pale. He only heard him say with regret: "The situation is not very good. Comrades such as Tian Jiyang, Che Chaodong, Zhang Jinfu, Zheng Yangyuan, Zhou Zhengfeng, Zhang Zhigong, Zhang Xingwu were arrested and executed one after another. Hong Chengdian, Bai Wenmo and Yuan Jiasheng and several other comrades have successfully escaped from Anqing with the help of the New Restoration Association. The day before yesterday, the president said that the three of them had already sailed south to Hong Kong!"
A sad atmosphere suddenly filled the tent. Fan Chuanjia and Xiong Chengji looked at each other silently, with indescribable sadness and gratitude on their faces, and their expressions were extremely complicated!
Fan Chuanjia is not a social activist. When he was in such a low mood, he could still find a trace of abnormal expression on Wang Siliang's face. He stared at him and said in a deep voice: "My Comrade Siliang has anything to say, we can still bear it!" Xiong Chengji turned his head quickly and looked here to see what "bad news" Wang Siliang didn't say it.
"Oh, it's not a big deal." Wang Siliang shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at the two with a hint of pity: "It's Comrade Xue Zhe who had met before. After he defected to the Qing army, Anqing was killed by Zhu Jiabao shortly after he fell!"
Xiong Chengji's face turned red with shame, but his heart was aching, but his face was ashen, and he said angrily: "Die well and die well. You must use thunderous means to treat such a traitor. Even if the government does not kill him, we will not let him go when we have a chance in the future. This hateful revolutionary traitor!"
