Ropekin is worthy of being a tiger general. He personally led the suicide squad. Sixty people quickly touched the Emperor Temple under the cover of machine guns. They did not go to the front, but chose to fight in with weak defense. Soon Ropekin broke through the first line of defense at the foot of the mountain.

The second line of defense was halfway up the mountain, and the location was relatively dangerous. Ropekin found that there were several scattered shrubs on the hillside, so he ordered his subordinates to crawl forward in the bushes and approach the Sichuan army's defense line little by little. At this time, the Sichuan army focused all their attention on the front. When Ropekin saw the opportunity was rare, he called his subordinates to quietly hold the machete in his hand and shouted a sudden shout. The Yunnan army launched a crazily charge towards the Sichuan army's position. The distance was not very far, only a few dozen steps. When the Sichuan army saw that the situation was not good, they hurriedly fired. Unfortunately, they did not have machine guns and were not enough personnel. After shooting down more than a dozen Yunnan army, they were rushed to the front of them.

Ropekin waved the machete in his hand and slashed a Sichuan soldier's chest. Then the Sichuan army fell to the ground. The other Sichuan soldiers hurriedly waved their rifles and used bayonets to fight the enemy. At this time, the suicide squads under Ropekin also rushed into the second line of defense. They all waved the machete like Ropekin, chopping melons and vegetables, which resulted in the lives of more than a dozen Sichuan soldiers.

To be honest, the Sichuan Army's hand-to-hand combat skills are really not good. Qiao Yu has to bear a lot of responsibility for this. He attaches great importance to soldiers' shooting and is willing to provide soldiers with countless bullets for live-fire shooting at no cost. However, Qiao Yu is very opposed to hand-to-hand combat. He subconsciously believes that this is a last resort. In fact, Qiao Yu thinks this way. He knows that he has limited talent regardless of military and political affairs, and can only build a complete system with an advanced vision and rely on powerful equipment advantages to deal with the enemy. Therefore, Qiao Yu will expand the arsenal and build a steel factory at all costs, just to rely on the torrent of steel to crush the opponent. Therefore, there are few hand-to-hand combat training in the Sichuan Army except for cavalry.

This time, he was caught off guard by Ropekin, and the second line of defense was broken through. The Yunnan army was also inspired at this time and rushed to the mountain desperately. The first line of defense was soon defeated as a whole, and the large forces of the Yunnan army approached the second line of defense.

At this time, Ropekin was full of enthusiasm, wielding his machete, and heading straight to the top of the mountain with his suicide squad, wanting to take down the Emperor Temple.

Wang Huai also discovered the situation on the battlefield at this time and looked grim: "Chief of Staff, you can stay here first. I will take people to fight back the Yunnan army along the way!"

"Commander-in-chief, the general is always in the position. You are here to command the overall situation. I will take the guard platoon, so you can rest assured!"

When Wang Huai saw Shi Yi's request for battle intently, he had to nod. Shi Yi quickly left the command center of the Emperor Temple with the guard platoon and headed straight for the mountainside. At this time, the offensive of the Yunnan Army was at its most courageous. The second position of the Sichuan Army was shaking. With the help of the light Shi Yi, he saw Luo Peijin and others.

Shi Yi quietly held the box cannon in his hand. At this time, a shell exploded dozens of meters away from Ropekin. A flash of fire. Shi Yi saw Ropekin's figure clearly and raised his hand to shoot three times. Ropekin only felt a biting pain in his shoulders and chest, and he wanted to struggle, but his strength had been lost quickly. He fell to the ground in a flash. When his suicide squad saw that he was hit, he was immediately panicked.

Several soldiers hurriedly lifted Ropekin and retreated. This hero was the hero in front of Governor Cai E. He must not cause any damage, otherwise everyone would have committed a serious crime. Ropekin did not faint at this time. When he saw that several Yunnan soldiers actually carried him to escape, his eyes suddenly became angry.

"Bastard, let me go and kill me back. Even if I die, I will die in front of the formation. Don't be this turtle! Hurry up, did you hear it?" Ropekin was excited, and the blood in the wound on his chest flowed out quickly. It was obvious that it was hurting the artery. When several soldiers saw that Ropekin's voice was getting lower and lower, they knew that the situation was not good, so they could not listen to his orders and hurriedly took him to retreat...

At this time, Shi Yi had already brought the guards to kill him. They each had a box cannon, which was powerful and had a long range, and was adjusted to a continuous state. The bullets were like hail, and soon killed most of the suicide squad brought by Ropekin. At this time, several suicide squad members were fighting to Shi Yi with their blood and courage.

A team member raised the machete high and slashed it over to Shi Yi. Shi Yi hurriedly dodged. The soldier's fighting technique was very skillful. When the blade changed, he rushed to Shi Yi's neck horizontally. At this time, Shi Yi had only a pistol in his hand, which could not resist. He had to squat, rolled on the ground for several rounds, and avoided the knife.

The Yunnan Army was still going to cut the stone wings. At this time, a series of gunfire sounded, and the soldier was shot dead. As he was killed, the Yunnan Army's suicide squad was completely destroyed, the gap was blocked again, and the Sichuan Army's front line finally stabilized.

Cai E was also shocked when he received the news that Ropekin was seriously injured and hurriedly ordered the attack to stop. The Yunnan army retreated, leaving only a thousand bodies telling the fierceness of the battle.

"Doctor, how is General Luo's injury? Is there any help?"

"Don't worry, General Luo is strong and will not die. However, he may have to rest for a few months, after all, he will lose too much blood!"

Cai E was relieved a lot after receiving the guarantee from the military doctor, but he felt more and more depressed. The first battle was not good. If it really turned into a war of attrition, I was afraid that he would completely fail this time. Cai E knew the foundation of the Yunnan Army better than anyone else. If he delayed for a while, arms and food would become a big problem.

I think his opponent was also thinking this way. Cai E felt particularly frustrated at this time. The other party specially chose the position of southern Sichuan. The Sichuan army could easily get supplies from the province, while the transportation in Yunnan was more difficult. It is conceivable that as long as you persist for a few days, the Yunnan army would be defeated. The other party relied on brute force to fight with him. However, you have countless tricks and no way to do it. Cai E only felt like Zhuge Wuhou of Wuzhangyuan, and he could not advance or retreat. The other party was Sima Yi.

This must not be done like this. Time is endless. Cai E stared at the battle map and thought about it again and again. Finally, he thought of a way to break the deadlock in front of him and summoned Li Genyuan and others.

"I decided to divide the army into two parts. I only took the most elite 500 people to raid the Syrian Mansion. As long as I took the Syrian Mansion, there would be chaos in the rear of the Sichuan Army and we would inevitably be in chaos without fighting. We would be able to break the deadlock!"

When Li Genyuan heard that Cai E was planning to take only 500 people to raid the Snow Mansion, he was also shocked: "Governor, I agree with your combat plan. It's just that you are a body of gold, so it's too risky to take 500 people. We have so many generals, and anyone can go for you. We will definitely be able to complete the task!" Other generals and officials also spoke to dissuade them, but Cai E made up his mind.

"I don't care about the little Sichuan army yet. Everyone will attack as usual tomorrow, and even the offensive will be more fierce, attracting the attention of the Sichuan army here. I will take the army to act overnight and can arrive at the Xu Mansion within one day. You will follow Li Genyuan's command. Everyone must do the show well and don't let the Sichuan army notice it!"

Everyone present knew Cai E's temper. Since he had decided, he could not change it. He could only follow Cai E's arrangement. Cai E took a small group of troops directly off the front line under the cover of night, marched along the Yangtze River, and rushed straight to the Xu Palace.
