Just as General Cai calmed down, telegrams were sent from everywhere. No one sent a telegram last night. That was because the troops of the Suppression Army did not move. They only occupied a few county towns and gave up all means of communication.
After being cut off, this morning was completely different. Using several county towns as bases, the Suppression Army began to attack everywhere. Now several cities in the south are in emergency, hoping that General Cai can send troops to support.
Dongtaifu fell...
Only half an hour has passed, and those people were still asking for help, but now they have received the exact news. The flag of the Suppression Army has been raised on the city wall. The local officials have changed their tune and now declare their allegiance.
Pingnan County Prince's Mansion.
The people present were aware of the speed of the Suppression Army's attack, but they still did not expect it to be so fast. In their opinion, Dongtai Mansion was only more than a hundred kilometers away from here. Even though the Suppression Army had arrived, the city wall there was so high.
Hou, they should be able to hold on for a while, but only half an hour has passed, and they have already surrendered. Is the strength of the suppressing army so strong?
Of course the officials in the provincial capital don't know what's going on, but the local officials know very well that although the city walls there are relatively majestic, in the age of hot weapons, no matter how majestic the city walls are, they may not be able to stop artillery attacks.
The suppressing army directly pulled the 150mm cannon over and fired it directly at the city wall. No matter how powerful your city wall is, it will soon be unable to hold on under the attack of such artillery shells.
.
After the local officials saw this scene, they had no intention of resisting. They immediately hung a white flag on the city wall, ordered the defenders to throw weapons off the city wall, and opened all four city gates.
Ask the suppressing army to stop attacking and not to continue bombarding. If they continue to bombard, they may all die here. After all, their heads cannot be as strong as the city wall.
Wang Huaili also remembered this. Wang Huaili directly gave orders to the troops on the front line, dragging two 150mm heavy artillery, and asking them to show force wherever they went, in order to defeat others without fighting.
For the purpose of the soldiers, if the opponent is very elite, our method may not be as effective as it should be, but if the opponent is a group of rabble, then this matter will be very easy. We only need to fire a few cannons to kill these people.
Your will has been shattered. Are you still worried about not being able to take the city?
"Hurry up and send a telegram to the imperial court. Send telegrams to them all, as well as generals, generals and marshals. These people are all dressed in clothes. I stood up to sign some agreement. Now that something has happened, they can't hide behind it. Let them hurry up.
Send troops to support me."
Before General Cai felt trembling all over at this moment, the reason why he dared to take this matter forward was because everyone pooled together a sum of money and agreed to give him the first batch of weapons and equipment, but now it is far from that.
The thing is, no matter how favorable the conditions were, General Cai regretted it now. If he had to choose again, he would stay behind the crowd and never be the one who stood out. Now he is suppressing the army.
The meaning is very clear, whoever is the best will be killed.
The telegrams were sent directly according to General Cai's order, but all the telegrams seemed to have disappeared. There was no movement for half an hour. You must know that the communication between various warlords is dedicated lines, and there are people guarding them 24 hours a day.
This matter is also the most important thing in everyone's mind at the moment. It is impossible to say that they have not received the telegram. General Cai also knows that he has been abandoned now. These people do not dare to make enemies of the suppressing army, so naturally they will not send troops.
Come to support.
What's more, even if you dispatch an army, it will take time. Even those closest to General Cai will not be able to get through it in less than a month. Can the Suppression Army give you a month now?
"Report to the general that the troops outside the city have gathered, but only more than 13,000 people have been gathered. The remaining people..."
The adjutant ran in from outside, but the news he brought was not very good. You must know that there are nearly 20,000 troops outside the provincial capital. This is also the elite of General Cai. Usually this guy is very afraid of death and will use all his troops.
All the elite troops were placed by his side. This was just the beginning, and 7,000 of them fled completely.
The adjutant has not finished what he said. If there is no order quickly to let everyone take action, I am afraid that more people will escape. Now the military police regiment has sealed off the entire military camp and does not allow people inside to come out. As long as there are people with
When the opportunity arises, they will immediately take off their military uniforms and find a place to hide. In their view, as long as they fight against the government troops, they are basically handing over their heads to the Lord of Hell. Although they are now deserters,
There are risks, but at least being able to survive is much better than dying on the battlefield.
"You lead the army south immediately and stop them for me. As long as you can stop them, you will be the deputy commander-in-chief in the future."
Originally, General Cai was planning to stop him with his men in person, but after hearing these words, he also knew that it was useless for me to go by myself. It was very likely that Rou Baozi would beat the dog and never come back, so he left the matter to me.
His own men, he now has to go back and collect the gold and silver, and then hide in the foreign concession...
The men also looked embarrassed. They were also planning to flee after leaving here, but they didn't expect General Cai to give him this task. However, this guy didn't show it and quickly rode out. General Cai also
I'm a little relieved that I still have some bloody men under my command, otherwise I would have been told here today.
Little did they know that the bloody man General Cai thought was a bloody man did not go to the military camp outside the city after riding out of the street. Instead, he gathered more than 200 of his men and went home to carry gold and silver. His destination was the same.
Like General Cai, it is a foreign concession in the provincial capital.
In the eyes of people like them, no matter how powerful the suppressing army is, they would not dare to enter foreign concessions. It can only be said that they live too closed-minded and do not know the news from the outside. If the suppressing army is
If the army wants to arrest someone, it doesn't matter which country's concession you enter. As long as you violate the laws of the suppressing army, even if you go to the King of Heaven, we will definitely capture you. In the process, anyone dares to stop you.
If so, don't blame us for being rude and just take back the concession.
