In such a situation where the whole body could be affected by the slightest move, neither Zhang Zuolin nor Sun Chuanfang wanted to offend the other unless he had already threatened their own safety.
For Sun Chuanfang, it was not worthwhile for him to offend Zhang Zuolin's Fengjun, a huge behemoth that was in full swing. But once Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang insisted on going south, he would have to respond. As for Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang, he would have to respond.
He said that if he could capture Qi Xieyuan without getting into trouble with Sun Chuanfang, it would undoubtedly be the best move for his southern hegemony, but he also knew that Sun Chuanfang would not remain indifferent to his actions.
After being around for so many years, I have never seen any big storms or conspiracies. My opponent is not that bad.
Therefore, although both parties have expressed a strategic attitude of not attacking others unless they attack me, the actions of the two parties have not stopped at all. At this critical juncture, Qi Xieyuan is about to die. If at this time
If we don't send troops, by the time Qi Xieyuan is really finished, I'm afraid it will be too late to take action again.
Han Baihang has captured the city of Nanjing, which is extremely bad news for Sun Chuanfang. Even if Zhang Zuolin has no other thoughts about him, having Fengjun stationed next to him will always make him feel uncomfortable.
Furthermore, the other party can station troops in Nanjing City again at any time, and once the other party wants to attack itself, the initiative to attack is firmly in the hands of the other party. How can others be allowed to snore next to the bed?
The army was undoubtedly a thorn in Sun Chuanfang's side, and it was difficult to get rid of it immediately.
Although he had promised Zhang Zuolin on the phone not to send troops to Nanjing or to support Qi Xieyuan, we were no longer children. In war, we must pay attention to the importance of war and deceit. This move was just Sun Chuanfang's tactic to delay the attack. After hanging up the phone, he
Still without hesitation, he ordered his 20,000 troops to march towards Nanjing non-stop.
The 20,000-strong army, led by division commanders Lu Xiangting and Xie Hongxun respectively, joined forces in Nanjing to capture important areas of Nanjing in one fell swoop and completely eliminate the threat posed by the Feng army to Sun Chuanfang.
Since receiving the news of Qi Xieyuan's request for help, the two men have led their troops to move in. However, the other party's actions along the way were too fast, and the original Nanjing defenders were too idiots. They had not arrived yet, and Nanjing City
It has already been breached.
Their original plan was to arrive in Nanjing before Feng's army attacked Nanjing City and help the defenders of Nanjing City defend Nanjing. In this way, they could block Feng's army from Nanjing City. It would be up to them to decide whether to fight or negotiate peace.
After all, they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Feng army and overestimated the capabilities of the Nanjing defenders, which was why they ended up in this situation.
However, the two division commanders discussed together and felt that this move to attack Nanjing was basically a sure thing. First of all, the opponent had already gone through a big battle in Nanjing, and his strength must have been extremely reduced. Since his own strength was far superior to that of the opponent, how could he have any troops?
The principle of defeat.
When the troops were marching near Nanjing, they suddenly heard a noise and shouting from the front of the army. How unbecoming this was. Commander Lu was about to step forward to get angry, but he saw the soldiers in the lead escorting a man pushing and shoving them.
Commander Lu urged the war horse to come forward and stop. When the two soldiers saw the division commander coming, they immediately stopped. They stood at attention and saluted with a military salute and said: "Hello, division commander, the two of us caught a man on the way.
I don’t know how to deal with the traitors who escaped from Nanjing City?”
Commander Lu's face was solemn. Didn't he say that all the defenders of Nanjing City were wiped out? How could there be deserters? His face gradually became more and more ugly. Soldiers, what they hate most in this life are either traitors or deserters. He waved his hand.
He whipped the horse whip and turned the horse's head. Without even looking at the deserter, he coldly dropped a few words and said: "Kill him!"
When the two soldiers heard what the division commander said, they stood at attention and said loudly: "Yes, division commander!" They turned around, grabbed the deserter, and started to walk out of the team.
At this time, the deserter could no longer remain silent and shouted quickly: "Mr. Lu, I am not a deserter, I am Lao Li! Lao Li...Mr. Li, we still have a relationship!"
Master Lu heard that the deserter could call him by his last name and could also tell that he had seen him. He couldn't help but be curious. Could this man be more of an ordinary deserter? He turned around and stopped the two soldiers and shouted
: "You two, don't do anything yet. Press him to Mr. Xie. We have something to ask!"
The two soldiers did not dare to neglect and quickly carried out the task. The deserter couldn't help but struggled to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. It was so dangerous that he almost became the target of Lu Xiangting's gun.
The two soldiers ruthlessly escorted the deserter to Commander Lu Xiangting and Commander Xie Hongxun, and beat him to attention.
The two of them took a closer look at the deserter. His face was all black and gray. Only his teeth and eyes were white. The rest were so black that nothing could be seen. But looking at his clothes, he didn't look like an ordinary soldier.
Although he is an officer, he cannot see the epaulettes or rank on the uniform.
However, the two of them took a closer look and seemed to feel that they had indeed seen this guy somewhere, but they just couldn't remember it.
It was Commander Xie who spoke first and asked: "Hey, you...yes, that is, you, who else but you! Did you run out of Nanjing City? Didn't it mean that the entire Nanjing City garrison was wiped out?"
How are you still alive?"
The "deserter" kept wiping the black ash on his face with the sleeves of his military uniform, and replied slowly: "The city of Nanjing was indeed wiped out, but my brothers protected me and survived. Do you think I am a deserter?"
Hearing the harsh tone of this "deserter", Commander Lu laughed and said: "Why, you are not a deserter? I heard that you still know me, you used to be my subordinate? I am afraid that my surname is Lu, I can't afford to lose this
people!"
The "deserter" also laughed, showing a row of big white teeth and said: "Master Lu, don't you really know me? We met once at General Sun's place. Your memory is not very good!"
Lu Xiangting and Xie Hongxun were stunned when they heard this. Have they met at General Sun's place? Could this guy be some kind of high-ranking general? Otherwise, did he appear at General Sun Chuanfang's place? The two of them looked at each other,
I feel like this might not be an ordinary person.
Seeing the attitude of the two men, the "deserter" knew that his life was saved.
