Murong Xuehai was still thinking about the aftermath. At this time, two "booms" sounded, and two shells shot from the opposite mountain, but the accuracy was very bad. Although the distance was only more than a hundred meters, the shells would actually fall at the foot of the mountain and explode, which would not hurt the Hubei army.

Murong Xuehai was very puzzled, and the Hubei Army quickly explained the situation: "The one who guarded that position was also the brothers of our Hubei Army. There was half an artillery company and a company on it, and he was unwilling to attack the Hubei people with the Hubei people..."

After this explanation, Murong Xuehai immediately understood that he knew the truth of beating the dog in the water. With a command, the tactful officers and soldiers rushed over immediately.

Bai Siwen's version of "Military History of Dingbian Army" describes this scene like this: "The enemy's bombs fell like rain. Battalion Commander Murong Xuehai took responsibility, and the soldiers used their lives, and God blessed our army, so that they could win in one battle..."

As for the real situation, it was very funny. The infantry from both sides fired their guns upwards, and the artillery fired randomly. The Dingbian Army shouted: "Hubei people don't attack Hubei people... Brothers of the Hubei Army, come here... There are many people here..."

The Hubei army there opened fire violently into the sky, shouting: "I will never surrender... Hubei people should not beat Hubei people... You have many people? Let's consider... OK... Then come up and talk..."

Without a real firefight, the Dingbian Army had already rushed to the top of the mountain, and the officers and soldiers of the Hubei Army immediately lined up to surrender to the Dingbian Army.

However, since they are all Hubei troops, Murong Xuehai can be said to be very tolerant of them, allowing them to retain all weapons and not disrupt the establishment, and they will freely take charge of all affairs.

Yesterday, countless casualties only captured five mountain peaks. That day, three mountain peaks were lost. Two of them surrendered without a single shot (who said they didn’t release a single shot? General Bai Siwen later recalled that he fired thousands of bullets for the third mountain. The two sides fired thousands of bullets and flew four bullets. The Hubei army took them down after a lot of hardships...). The casualties of the Dingbian Army were only more than ten, which could be said to be a huge shock to the Hunan Army.

The remaining two hills must not be lost anymore. Lu Dangping, a fat man who caught the line of fire, looked blue and his face was urgently transferred up the basic troops he had rested in the rear, and each position was filled with powerful troops from the battalion.

Seeing that the remaining two mountains were well prepared and difficult to succeed, Murong Xuehai sent some troops to defend and returned with the main force and more than 400 rebel officers and soldiers from the Hubei Army.

Liu Jingxiao had long led the cadres to line up to applaud and welcome him, and he fulfilled all Murong Xuehai's request.

The first person to get a reward of 1,000 yuan? This was originally promised by Murong Xuehai himself, but it was easy to deal with. Liu Jingxiao immediately sent 600 to the three lucky ones in advance.

These three lucky people received such a huge sum of money and were unwilling to continue to fight to the death in the army. They asked Liu Jingxiao to retire and return home, buy some land, and do some small business. Liu Jingxiao was reasonable and immediately approved their request.

Of course, they could not bring a thousand foreigners home. This thousand foreigners is more than seventy kilograms. If they really have to bring so much cash, they may be exhausted before they get home.

Liu Jingxiao asked Guo Junqing to get three bank deposit certificates in Shanghai, each of which was 800 yuan, plus the advance payment of 200 yuan, which was exactly 1,000 yuan.

Shanghai Industrial Bank had a good reputation, and the three lucky ones were very satisfied, so they handed over the guns and ammunition and handed over. Liu Jingxiao sent three more tickets to the Hunan-Europe Railway, and the three of them immediately took a taxi back home.

Expanding into a regiment? This is even better. Liu Jingxiao had already prepared a colonel rank and immediately hanged it for Murong Xuehai.

As for the expansion of troops, Murong Xuehai now has two company commanders, one is Liu Jingxiao's direct descendant Chen Yu, and the other is Murong Xuehai's confidant Han Haixin. After the other company commander died, he was temporarily still the deputy company commander. So the two old company commanders were immediately promoted to battalion commander. Liu Jingxiao transferred one company of the E army to Murong Xuehai, and then transferred one of Chen Fangren's search company and baggage company (temporary armed into infantry company) to Murong Xuehai.

In this way, Murong Xuehai Regiment had two battalions and sixth companies, which was considered a formal infantry regiment. As for the number, Liu Jingxiao immediately made the decision: "First Regiment of the First Division of Hubei Army."

The number of the first regiment was taken away by Murong Xuehai, which made the other three battalion commanders very embarrassed, especially in this battle, Murong Xuehai took it lightly without much effort.

Liu Jingxiao solved the problem of expansion, and there was still one problem left in the Hubei army surrendered.

This problem is bigger than the previous two problems. It is very common to fake surrender on the battlefield. There are too many tricks of fraudulent surrender, so Liu Jingxiao has to be careful.

Let's talk about it first. Liu Jingxiao immediately paid the Hubei army for a month. As soon as the Hubei army saw the money, they immediately surrounded Liu Jingxiao and held his hand and kept talking.

It turned out that the Hunan Army had more people and less wages, and the Hubei Army belonged to the guest army, so the Hunan Army sometimes provided the Hubei Army with no military wages, and had no money to work hard. Of course, this kind of life was not done, so he surrendered to the Dingbian Army in front of the battlefield.

As soon as he got this message, Liu Jingxiao immediately changed his mind, made a bunch of empty checks, asked them to keep their weapons, and then sent all kinds of equipment, handing over the remaining more than 300 officers and soldiers of the Hubei Army to Chen Fangren.

Chen Fangren had just been taken away from two companies, and now he got the same number of soldiers back. However, the quality of the soldiers was very different. However, Chen Fangren had no complaints. With Lin Xi's support, Liu Jingxiao would never lose money.

The guns and cannons on the front line also stopped. The Hunan Army wanted to do a big fight this day, but unexpectedly, it was hit by such a slap before it even took action. It had to stop attacking and start discussing countermeasures. There was no more battle between the two sides throughout the day.

Of course, the Hunan Army's battle report was very beautiful: "Although more than ten thousand were killed and injured, he was outnumbered and reluctantly gave up the three front positions... The enemy attacked our only two positions again. Our officers and soldiers fought hard for half a day, and finally defeated the enemy's spirit and defeated the enemy... The enemy was buried in more than ten thousand corpses..."

Liu Jingxiao quickly sent a telegram to Wanyan Yuzhuo to blackmail Wang Zichun, and he had to make the old man bleeding.

The fourth day of war ended, and the fifth day of war was quite dull.

Liu Jingxiao reported: "... Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives and killed many bandit soldiers... Our army has no casualties today..." Of course, what Chinese people like most is to call their opponents bandits.

The Hunan Army said: "The Liu bandits attacked several times with heavy troops, and were defeated by my brave Hunan Army, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and our army had no casualties..." You call me bandits, I call you thief, it's interesting to have come and go.

Of course, both sides did not have any fire at all. Xiao Rulang Camp, who is now in charge of front-line defense, reported that the infantryman accidentally shot two shots this day, and the Hunan Army also went crazy three shots.

The biggest change in the battle situation is that it comes from other battlefields. Although the two wings are defeated, they can barely support them and will not collapse.

On the contrary, the Sichuan Army officially announced that it would go to help Hubei and cooperate with the Hunan Army to aid Hubei, which had a great impact on the situation. The Sichuan Army's telegrams were issued with the words "Catch Yichang and go directly to Wuhan", which aroused extreme disgust from the Hubei Army.

After all, the Hunan Army's aid to Hubei was under the banner of "Europeans governing Hubei", but the Sichuan Army clearly came out of Sichuan to grab territory. The Sichuan Army issued a telegram saying, "If you go to Wuhan first, you will be rewarded with unprecedented rewards." This reward is either a supervisor or a governor, and clearly regards Hubei as its own small territory.

The Sichuan Bureau has been completely deteriorated by these Sichuan troops. The people of Hubei do not want to go to one prince spring, and ten more prince springs come.

The Sichuan Army used six mixed brigades to go down the river, with a huge momentum. There was a very funny episode in the middle. Xiong Wu, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, sent a telegram to Liu Jingxiao, praising Liu Jingxiao's achievements in resisting the Hunan Army in Yangloudong, and asked Liu Jingxiao to take on a few more days, so that the Sichuan Army could take the lead in capturing Wuhan. The telegram also said: "After capturing Wuhan, you will be grateful!"

Although the alliance has always existed for the sake of breaking up, it was so obvious that it was Liu Jingxiao who saw it for the first time. Then Liu Jingxiao forwarded the telegram across the country, adding a lot of sarcasm. The Sichuan Army quickly refused to admit that the telegram was sent by them.

However, in the past two days, Liu Jingxiao has been relaxed and willing. Since the Hunan Army has stopped the attack, Liu Jingxiao is also happy. On the one hand, it strengthens its combat preparations, and on the other hand, it speeds up its favor to Guo Junqing.

On the sixth night, Liu Jingxiao had finished the day's official business and was about to find a place to sleep, when she saw Guo Junqing rushing over and holding a telegram in her hand.

Liu Jingxiao immediately lost her sleepiness. Knowing that something must have happened, she stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Guo Junqing handed over the telegram. It turned out to be a telegram sent by Wanyan Yuzhuo. The telegram first wrote the three words "Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!", which seemed to be urgent. After a closer look, it turned out that Cheng Yune of the Hubei Army had arrived in Hankou.

Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but say, "It's coming so fast!"

He estimated Cheng Yune's itinerary in advance, and it was estimated that he would not arrive in Hankou the night after tomorrow. If he was slower, he might not be able to arrive half a month.

When Liu Jingxiao thought of this, she immediately frowned. It came too quickly and seemed abnormal.

What is the trend of this army? It is a questionable question.

He quickly returned an emergency call and asked Wanyan Yuzhuo to send people to pay attention to the movements of Cheng Yunpeng's voyage.

Guo Junqing reminded: "The fire will happen immediately on the front line!"

Before Liu Jingxiao nodded, the line that had been calmed for a long time had sounded gunshots again. Soon the gunshots began to grow densely. Liu Jingxiao frowned and said, "It seems like it's a big blow!"

Although the Hunan Army did not launch an attack in the past two days, it was preparing for war throughout the day and practicing the tactics of mountain attacks. Liu Jingxiao and the others also knew that this battle would be inevitable, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.

However, the Hunan Army was caught off guard by Cheng Yune's brigade's arrival in advance. They expected to officially attack Yangloudong tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Cheng Lu came so quickly. As a result, several tentative attacks made the Dingbian Army fight back.
