Fengxian Jiangshan

One is a long wooden handle with a warhead, and the other is a cannon with only one barrel that can fire shells in a curve.These two things are very light and dexterous. They are flexible and maneuverable in urban combat, but their lethality is astonishing. The Beiyang Army was completely unprepared when they encountered this kind of weapon for the first time.

The discipline of the Beiyang Army is not much better than that of the Braided Army. After being hit, it retreated at once, and the Braided Army has stabilized its morale a little through this victory, and began to actively build fortifications, preparing for a bloody battle with Duan Qirui in the end.

After receiving the report from the front, Lao Duan hurriedly inquired about it, and finally figured out that one of these two weapons is a grenade and the other is a mortar, which are already equipped in large quantities in the armies of the great powers, and among all the armies in the country , only Fengjun has equipment, and it played an important role in the battle against the Russians.

After figuring out the situation, Lao Duan was furious, and hurriedly called Xu Shuzheng, and asked Xiao Xu to question Feng Jun, why did he collude with Braided Army!

Xu Shuzheng came to Nanyuan Fengjun's camp angrily, and when he met Xiao Xu, he lost his temper.

"You keep slandering Duan Gong and Zhang Xun for colluding, but now Zhang Xun is equipped with weapons that only you have. Could it be that you Fengjun and Braided Army colluded? You really are despicable people who shouted "Stop the thief!"

"Secretary-General Xu, we must pay attention to evidence in everything. We did sell a batch of arms to Zhang Xun, but that was two months ago. Can not afford!"

Xu Shuzheng suppressed his anger, and said loudly: "No matter what, you will clean up the troubles you cause yourself."

Zhang Tinglan immediately said with a smile: "No problem, it just so happened that the Feng army's large troops came up, and we will attack the braided army now."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tinglan was about to give an order, when Xu Shuzheng woke up suddenly, he couldn't let Feng Jun get the limelight again, the old man must be the one who wiped out the braided army, so he hurriedly stopped Zhang Tinglan.

"Just tell us how to deal with grenades and mortars!"

"Also, we will send an officer corps to teach you how to deal with mortars and grenades. Of course, we can also provide you with these two weapons, but these tactics are slowly explored by the brothers, and it took a lot of time. Don't be scheming, just pay some tuition if you want to learn!"

"How much?"

"Not much, just give one or two million!"

Chapter 358 A Prisoner

How many?Xu Shuzheng even doubted his own ears when he had a chance. How to guide the tactics would cost 200 million. Isn’t this blackmail? I want to go crazy!

"This is an important matter for the military and the country. It's not a place to talk about it. Could it be that you are serving the army with heavenly soldiers and generals? If you borrow a few soldiers, it will cost millions. Is there any reason in this world?"

"Secretary-General Xu, our tactics are all bought on the battlefield with the blood of our brothers. Naturally, we can't teach you for nothing. Of course, you don't have to learn it, and defeat the braided army entirely by your own ability."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to worry. Cao Kun's general Wu Peifu is not slow at all. They have already captured Zhuozhou and Liangxiang. The Lugou Bridge is already in danger. As long as they take down the Lugou Bridge, they can attack Beijing from the west. It's gone. And the Feng army has almost rested, and the army is about to take action to attack the braided army."

When Zhang Tinglan mentioned Cao Kun, the muscles on Xu Shuzheng's face twitched for a while. Now that the conflict between the Zhili and Anhui is getting bigger and bigger, Cao Kun's aggressive pursuit of credit this time is just to frustrate the old Duan. It really made Zhili take the lead, Duan Qirui's face lost all luster.

Moreover, the damn Zhang Tinglan even threatened Fengjun to take action, almost forcing herself to be taken advantage of. Xiao Zhuge, who has always been resourceful, was also extremely worried at this time, and didn't know what to do.

"Secretary-General Xu, we don't have to limit ourselves to the trivial matters in front of us. We can imagine how Beijing's power will be divided after Zhang Xun is eliminated, and how Feng Jun needs to express his position. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of bidding. As long as the price is right, we can talk about anything, otherwise there are more than 1 Fengjun soldiers here, and there are more than 2 border guards ready to go outside the customs, I believe Secretary-General Xu is a smart person and knows what to do!"

After Zhang Tinglan's words came out, Xu Shuzheng's heart trembled for a while, Zhang Tinglan had indeed found Duan Qirui's fate, and now the whole world is in chaos.It was time for power to reshuffle the cards. Originally, Duan Qirui had the upper hand, which was a good card, but Feng Jun messed it up.

Li Yuanhong did not step down, and his immediate family was about to make a move.If Lao Duan wants to regain control of the world, he must obtain the support of Feng Jun.Otherwise, don't try to clean up the mess.But it's not easy to get Feng Jun's support, and he can only be slaughtered obediently.

The more Xu Shuzheng thought about it, the clearer he became, but he was extremely aggrieved in his heart. He had dealt with Feng Jun several times, and all of them were like this, and he couldn't take advantage of it.Also frequently deflated.

"As long as I give you the money, can Feng Jun support us?"

"When you talk about business, you need to return the yard to the yard. This time you spend some money to hire the officer corps of Fengjun. It just shows our mutual sincerity. After we have this, let's talk about other things."

A million dollars can express a sincerity, so the asking price is too high?Xu Shuzheng's heart was bleeding, these Northeast beards are simply too cruel!But people have to bow their heads under the low eaves.

"Okay, I'm willing to pay 100 million, and send people there immediately!"

Zhang Tinglan readily agreed, and summoned a total of more than 20 Fengjun officers, led by Zhang Henian, to follow Xu Shuzheng directly to the front line of Fengtai. More than 100 people, with a wage of 5 million yuan, each of them costs [-] to [-] yuan, and their working hours are only a short day or two, or even a few hours!

Such an expensive salary, I am afraid it is absolutely unprecedented, and there is no such easy money.Xu Shuzheng kept cursing inwardly along the way, Zhang Henian followed closely, but he looked heartless.

"General Xu, it is actually not difficult to deal with mortars and grenades. The best way is to equip them and train for a period of time to form combat effectiveness. Let me tell you that these two weapons are really good. They are light, flexible, and powerful. Not small, don’t those revolutionary parties just like to throw bombs around, grenades are more effective than those unreliable bombs. If you are willing to use them, there are quite a few in the Fengjun, you can buy a batch, I guess it depends With the friendship between us, we will definitely be able to give you a discount."

Zhang Henian was constantly selling weapons to Xu Shuzheng, but Xu Shuzheng had no interest at all, and he had to find a few people for 100 million. If he bought more weapons, he would probably be slaughtered, and Xu Shuzheng also asked about the situation of these two weapons, It doesn't seem to be very complicated. Beiyang also has an arsenal, and it can be produced by itself.

"Don't talk about these useless, let's talk about how to deal with these two weapons."

"Actually, it's not complicated at all. Grenades are thrown entirely by manpower, and the effective killing distance is only 40 to [-] meters. Mortars are curved shells, and there are also blind spots in shooting. As long as you master the characteristics, you can avoid them. Another point is to make good use of skirmishing tactics, and when charging, soldiers should keep a sufficient distance from each other, so that they will not be killed in a large area."

"Is it that simple?"

"General Xu, of course it's that simple. Once a layer of window paper is pierced, it will suddenly open up, but if it cannot be pierced, it will be held back forever."

Zhang Henian said it was easy, but in fact it was not a simple matter. For example, how to deploy troops when charging, what distance to keep, and what firepower configuration to adopt, all of which required countless lives to explore. Even Feng Jun dare not say that he is very mature after a lot of hard work, and Beiyang's training level is even worse.

Zhang Henian was fooling Xu Shuzheng on this side, and Xia Han was fooling Zhang Xun on the other side. At this time, the braided army repelled the attack of the rebellious army, which also created an illusion for Zhang Xun. It seemed that he still had a chance of winning, but there was one The premise is that there must be enough grenades and a large number of mortar shells.

The ones he bought from Fengjun have almost been consumed. If the Beiyang army attacks again, he will have nothing to use.At this time, Zhang Xun thought of the mysterious young man who sold arms, and of course Xia Han also thought of him. Zhang Tinglan secretly arranged a lot of people, mainly to monitor the direction of the battlefield.

Zhang Tinglan already knew that the braided army was going to die, but at the last moment, Zhang Tinglan was going to blackmail another sum, so Xia Han was ordered to come.

"My lord, let's meet again. This time I have a batch of grenades, a total of 500 pieces, and a lot of shells. I'll make it cheaper for you. Give me another [-] million, and I'll give you everything."

Zhang Xun frowned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Boy, if you are my king, you can blackmail me at will. Believe it or not, this king will arrest you now, and then torture you. I will ask you to hand over all the ammunition."

"My lord, since I dare to eat the food of the tiger's mouth, I don't care about life and death. Didn't you see that I was missing an arm? I crawled out of the dead. I can tell you. As long as I disappear for more than an hour, My accomplices will unceremoniously detonate the ammunition. At that time, you don't want to get anything!"

"Don't!" Zhang Xun was frightened by these sad words.If this ammunition cannot be obtained, even the last hope is lost.

"If you have something to say, I'll raise money now!"

Zhang Xun also knew that there was no need to bargain with such a desperado, and he might ask for more if he got stubborn.Looking at Zhang Xun's back, Xia Han also curled his lips.What's the taste of restoration? Even if you become a prince, won't you be toyed with by yourself in the applause!

Bian Shuai reappeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and those Eight Banners nobles were still present.Zhang Xun looked ferocious, and asked for money directly. How could such a person be willing? Now everyone knows that there is not much hope for restoration, and their family property is their last reliance, and no one is willing to take a penny more.

"Marshal Zhang, it's God's will. The country is about to perish, so you should obey the heavens. We don't want to be officials anymore!"

A few people hugged Zhang Xun's thigh, weeping and crying, Zhang Xun was also full of resentment, these Eight Banners children are too idiots, if they have [-]% of the bravery of their ancestors, they will not wipe out Jiangshan.

"Go away! This king wants to fight for the country to the end, if any of you dare not pay, I will shoot him dead!"

When Zhang Xun got angry, he looked fierce, and all the people in this group felt weak in their calves and fell to the ground. Concubine Jin and the little emperor were also frightened. 30 taels of silver, this is already the last property of the family, and it was all handed over to Zhang Xun.

The others didn't dare to neglect, Zhang Xun collected enough money, quickly made a deal with Xia Han, and got the last batch of ammunition in his hands. After counting the number, Bian Shuai suddenly became sober in his heart. It was the batch that Feng Jun didn't hand over to him, and now he sold it to himself.

It was already obvious that this was deliberately arranged by Feng Jun in order to clean his pockets.Zhang Xun's heart is secretly ruthless, as long as he can pass this level, he must settle the score with Feng Jun, and he must not take advantage of the little Zhang.

The braided army had just been armed, and Duan Qirui's subordinates also started to attack. Zhang Henian kept observing the situation on the battlefield with a binoculars in his hand. He shook his head again and again. He gave these people a lot of explanations. , but on the battlefield, Beiyang's formation still had no tacit understanding at all, and the soldiers basically rushed to kill with a burst of blood and courage.

After getting closer and closer to the braided army, many Beiyang troops were wiped out in pieces. After paying a lot of money, they still couldn't take Fengtai.Xu Shuzheng approached Zhang Henian again, and Zhang Henian also spread his hands: "General Xu, I have taught everything that needs to be taught, but your army training is too poor, and you can't carry out your combat intentions at all. Unqualified!"

"Stop talking sarcastic, do you have the ability to capture Fengtai?"

Zhang Henian thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid there is only one way now, which is to concentrate firepower and open a path with cannons. I have observed your artillery, and it is basically still in the era of direct targeting. Many soldiers don't understand How to calculate the parameters, the cannons are very lively, but the actual lethality is very limited!"

Zhang Henian criticized the Beiyang Army unceremoniously, and Xu Shuzheng could only listen. In the end, Zhang Henian expressed his willingness to help command Beiyang's artillery and break through the Fengtai defense line.

"Zhuoyan, you heard that the cannons at Fengtai are getting more and more intense. I think the Beiyang Army should have launched a general offensive. Zhang Xun may not be able to hold on. What do you think we should do?"
