Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Feng Guozhang was puzzled, looked up at the cloudless sky, and replied: "Ye Shuai, the sky in March can change as you say, and no one can tell."

"Really?" Ye Zhikui smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "The sky can change as it says, first of all, it is covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning. Hua Fu, you have been with me for so long, you can vaguely guess my thoughts, What would you do if I asked you to poke the sky?"

Feng Guozhang's expression changed, and he instantly understood what Ye Zhikui meant, and finally said: "This subordinate is born to be Ye Shuai's man, and will die as Ye Shuai's ghost. Whatever Ye Shuai tells his subordinates to do, he will do."

Ye Zhikui smiled slightly, and said: "In Huang Tu Ba Ye's jokes, fame and wealth are your own. Hua Fu, if you have a heart, go down and send someone to watch Nie Shuai's camp. If there is any trouble, please notify me in time."

"Yes, Shuai Ye!" Feng Guozhang retreated slowly.

Ye Zhikui said silently in his heart: "Hua Fu, I hope you are telling the truth, otherwise, don't blame me, Ye Zhikui, for being merciless. If you make any changes, the two soldiers around you are not vegetarians."

Although Ye Zhikui believed that smart people could see the situation clearly, and that all the generals under his command were closely related to him, and that every loss and every success would all be prosperous, but just in case, he still planted many eyeliners around those important generals.

After Nie Shicheng returned to the tent, he took out the pen and paper, his face was cloudy, he picked up the pen to write, but put it down slumpedly, and muttered: "Congyun, what should I do if you call me old man, what should I do?"

Nie Shicheng sighed, and finally threw his pen on the ground, saying in his heart: "Even you, Ye Zhikui, are like this. Is Daqing really going to perish?" His face was full of bewilderment.

Not long after, Ye Zhikui approached Nie Shicheng's tent with some tea. The soldiers at the door saw him and were about to go in to report. Ye Zhikui shook his head and stopped him, "I have some private matters to discuss with Nie Shuai. Stand at the door and don't let anyone in."

"Yes, Shuai Ye!" Xiao Bing quickly responded.

When Ye Zhikui entered the door, he saw Nie Shicheng sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed and resting his mind, with a dazed expression on his face. Knowing that he couldn't accept it for a while, he stepped forward to make tea silently and stood aside.

Hearing footsteps and pouring water, Nie Shicheng said aloud, "I don't want to drink tea, you can go out."

There was no movement for a while, and then he opened his eyes and saw that it was Ye Zhikui. He couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "Didn't the old man say that he didn't want to see you? Why did you come to see the old man?"

Ye Zhikui apologized first, and then said: "My nephew knows that in my uncle's heart, I have become a traitor, but my uncle has always treated Congyun like a son. Congyun lost his parents since he was a child, respects his uncle, and treats him as his father. Ordinarily not, how can you make uncle angry and invite uncle to drink this cup of tea."

Nie Shicheng took the tea, sneered, and said, "You still know that serving tea is a mistake, don't you have no king and no father in your heart?"

Ye Zhikui bowed his head and remained silent!

Nie Shicheng took a sip of tea and put it aside, the anger in his heart seemed to disappear with this sip of tea.

Then he persuaded him earnestly and earnestly: "Congyun, I know you are very assertive, and my uncle can't say anything about you, but everything comes out ahead. Even though the authority of the court has been lost, it's not something you can mess with with 1 people. Uncle hopes You can think about it carefully, don't just imitate Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and rise up, causing chaos in the world, and you don't end up with good results in the end."

Ye Zhikui replied respectfully: "Uncle taught Congyun very well. When Congyun was young, he didn't think well about many things. Uncle is very scheming. I hope uncle can teach Congyun dutifully, so that there will be no mistakes."

Nie Shicheng never thought that Ye Zhikui would hit the snake on the stick and circle around, wrapping himself in.

Nie Shicheng pondered for a moment, then sighed, and said: "I have not reported today's matter to the court, which is already disloyal. Let's talk about the future. Now we still work together to defeat the German army, otherwise, everything is empty talk."

Seeing that Nie Shicheng didn't refuse directly, Ye Zhikui was overjoyed and stopped pressing him. The two cleverly changed the topic and turned to this battle.

I lost the internet at home, so I posted it in an internet cafe, sorry for the lateness.There is another chapter at twelve o'clock

Volume 90 The Wind and Cloud in the Capital Chapter [-] Fire Bulls vs. Landmines

Uh, this chapter has been posted, too lazy to wait, a depressing day.

----------------------

Shuri, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Xing Changchun and others saw Ye Zhikui and Nie Shicheng talking and laughing together again, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and feel relieved.

All the generals gathered together to hold a pre-war meeting. This was also Ye Zhikui's first initiative. In the past when large armies were fighting, the generals under him could just accept the orders from above. It is rare.

Yesterday, Sun Wanling's troops made a trial attack and found landmines all over the outskirts of Qingdao.

Sun Wanling said: "Nie Shuai, Ye Shuai, colleagues, it's not my old grandson who complains, but the soldiers are really afraid. The mines are buried in the soil, and they explode when they step on them. There is a saying that a sharp gun is easy to hide. Hidden arrows are hard to guard against, the fear of not knowing is the most terrible thing, and it is understandable for the soldiers to shrink back and dare not go forward."

Cao Kun didn't take it seriously, and said gruntly: "Fear of death is fear of death. Why should I justify myself? If I, Wu Yijun, didn't care about 21, I would have rushed forward."

Sun Wanling was embarrassed when he heard the words, Ye Zhikui scolded: "Zhongshan, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and apologize to General Sun."

Seeing Ye Zhikui's eyes staring at him, Cao Kun had no choice but to get up, cupped his hands reluctantly and said, "General Sun, Cao is a straight man, so he offended me so much, please be generous, don't take it to heart."

Sun Wanling has also seen the style of Wu Yi's army. Although Wu Yi's army is brave in battle, every general is rebellious. Even the soldiers inside have eyes on the top of their heads. They look down on other armies. Ye Zhikui is the only group of arrogant soldiers. It can be suppressed, if Ye Zhikui had an accident last time, I am afraid that none of the generals in Wu Yi's army can suppress it.

Ye Zhikui saw that the scene was a bit deserted, so he asked aloud, "Uncle, what's the best way?"

Nie Shicheng smiled slightly and said: "The minefields are nothing to be afraid of. They are just some dead objects. Can we still suffocate us living people? Just pass the minefields and you will be within the attack range of the Qingdao Fort. If you are unprepared, The old man is afraid that he will really have a headache."

Ye Zhikui smiled, and replied confidently: "You don't have to worry about this uncle. My nephew has already prepared for it. Our engineering team has recently formed an army, called the Heavenly Soldiers, who use the latest hydrogen balloons. I am worried that there is no actual combat training. The German army hastily landed. Look down on our Wu Yi army, who has no weapons against the sky, and when the heavenly soldiers arrive, the fort will surely be captured."

Nie Shicheng stroked his beard and praised: "Wu Yi's army has sharp armor, setting a precedent in the Qing Dynasty. In this way, the old man can let go of the stone in his heart. Once the fort is fired, the German army can only defend the town."

"That's right, our army will fight the German army in street battles then." Ye Zhikui echoed.

"street fighting?"

Ye Zhikui replied embarrassingly: "To put it simply, it is to rely on the houses and streets to start a gun battle in the alley. At this time, we must look at the marksmanship and other military qualities of the soldiers of the enemy and us. Fortunately, my nephew brought more than a hundred sharpshooters this time. , with ordinary sergeants, it is more than enough to deal with the German army."

"It seems that Congyun has been prepared for a long time. In this case, let's discuss how to break the enemy's minefield." Nie Shicheng had to admire the strange and strange troops in Wu Yi's army.

"Zhiquan, Hua Fu, what's your suggestion?" Seeing Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui lowering their heads in deep thought, Ye Zhikui couldn't help asking aloud. Squeezing the brainpower of his subordinates is Ye Zhikui's favorite thing to do.

Of course, if they couldn't come up with any good suggestions, Ye Zhikui couldn't care so much, and he didn't mind using German prisoners to attack the position.

Hearing Ye Zhikui's question, Feng Guozhang raised his head and said, "I'm thinking of Zhuge Kongming's Fire Bull Formation during the Three Kingdoms period. Can our army also learn from it and use cattle or horses to attack the enemy's minefields?"

When the generals heard the words, their eyes lit up. Feng Guozhang's words undoubtedly opened up their minds.

The generals began to chatter and speak one after another, trying to perfect the fire bull formation proposed by Feng Guozhang, and after a while they came up with a practical and feasible combat policy.

German Army Qingdao Command.

Lieutenant An Meng was also assigning combat missions. An Meng pointed to the three forts on the map and said to the generals: "Dear imperial officers, since the imperial soldiers are fewer than the enemy army, I decided to give up a few insignificant places. Deploy the area around the three forts in Qingdao, I believe that if the Qing people want to capture this place, they will pay a huge price."

After An Meng finished speaking, he asked Second Lieutenant Philip, "Second Lieutenant, what happened to the Qing people recently?"

Philip got up and replied: "Sir, the Qing people stepped into our army's minefields yesterday and lost dozens of soldiers, then retreated slowly and stopped attacking."

"Really? People in the Qing Dynasty are full of conspiracies and tricks. If there is any movement, please report back to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!"

The next day, German soldiers were on the front line to observe the enemy's situation.Not long after, I saw Wu Yi's soldiers driving a hundred or so bulls slowly approaching, and I couldn't help wondering and scratching my head.

"What are the people of the Qing Dynasty doing? Could it be that they knew that we were tired of eating dry food and brought us fresh meat from beef and mutton?"

"Then I have to prepare the knife and fork quickly."

"Haha, it's really funny. Look at that soldier, he used the gun as a whip to drive cattle, and only the Qing people can do it."

Second Lieutenant Philip arrived shortly after receiving the news. Seeing the formation of Wu Yi's army, he couldn't figure it out for a while, but then he thought, could it be that the Qing people wanted to use these cows to attack our minefields? Would the cows be obedient?Philip was skeptical.
