Chapter Twelve The Last Minute

After a long-distance attack, the two bandit suppression troops controlled by the Revolutionary Party finally entered the city again. The morale of the revolutionary Party, which was originally not very good at attacking everywhere in the city, suddenly increased the boss again, and many soldiers rushed to tell: "Zhang Biao is dead, the revolution will win!"

The slogan "Zhang Biao is dead, the revolution will win!" gathered into a torrent, driving the revolutionary party to launch another attack, and a large number of people attacked the Supervisory Office again.

After the collapse of the left wing defense line, Li Yuanhong wisely shrank the defense line and gave up the Eighth Town Command, the key area, and focused only on the defense of the Supervisory Office itself. However, this hasty organization of defense is neither complete nor sufficient fortifications, which seems extremely messy. Although the Supervisory Office can be regarded as a strong place with high walls, it has not been systematically optimized in advance, and it is still slightly insufficient fortifications for resistance.

Around 12 o'clock, the Revolutionary Army launched a second attack. The middle lane was already dying under Li Yuanhong's counterattack. With the arrival of reinforcements, they recovered their vitality. However, this time they clearly avoided the hard tines in front of them and launched a fierce attack on Ziyang Bridge. The defense area was the right wing dominated by the patrol battalion. The battle was extremely fierce. Although it could not make a breakthrough head-on, through the side attack on Dachao Street, the revolutionary army of the road posed a fatal threat to the enemy's right wing, forcing the patrol battalion to retreat westward and get closer to the Supervisory Office.

The revolutionary army took advantage of the situation to pursue, broke through the defense line and advanced vigorously to the Supervisory Office, and had the enthusiasm to win the target. If Li Yuanhong had not used the reserve team of the last 100 people to reinforce, the right wing might have collapsed. But even so, most of the soldiers of the patrol battalions who usually only plunder and bully the people were frightened and had no intention of fighting.

They were either caught by the revolutionary party because they ran slowly, surrendered, or threw away their armor and ran away in a very embarrassing manner. Since the rest of the three sides were either Li Yuanhong defenders or the revolutionary party's offensive, they could not achieve the goal of escape, so they could only place their hopes on the imperial envoy's station, but the defense here was extremely strict.

"Go back, go back." Someone shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping to arouse the courage of the fleeing soldiers in this way. But the effect was very little, and then only firepower was fired. The defensive system that was finally built was made to make the remaining defeated generals rush to the ground. What should I do? Under the heavy machine gun, a series of unjust souls.

In the distance, after entering the city, the two bandit suppression targets had captured the Guanqian Bureau and the vassal office. Then, one of them attacked the Supervisor Office in the south, while the other teams went to control the Telegraph Bureau and other confidential places. There were not many troops directly used to reinforce the Supervisor Office.

After hearing the shouts of "Zhang Biao is dead, the revolution will win", Chen Kuilong was so scared in the yamen that he trembled and kept muttering to himself: "No. No..."

In his mind, he originally vaguely hoped that Zhang Biao could return to the army to reinforce after knowing the Wuchang incident. Now that he was hit by this slap, he almost collapsed to the ground without lifting it up.

"Please ask Lord Li." Chen Long was in trouble and could only find Li Yuanhong to find a way.

The revolutionary artillery team began to show their power. Several shells hit the place where the Supervisor's Office was located, and several houses were hit and destroyed. Although they were still more accurate from where Chen Kuilong was, the yamen was already in chaos and could not be seen clearly in the darkness. Even though Chen Kuilong's personal soldiers were familiar with the environment and terrain, they had to find Li Yuanhong for a lot of effort.

"Mr. Li, Lord. Chen...he..." The personal soldier was panting with a crying look on his face.

"What's wrong with Lord Chen?" Li Yuanhong was shocked and shook the other party's shoulders hard. Seeing the other party's appearance and expression, he thought Chen Kuilong had been reimbursed.

"Mr. Chen, he...he, please come over."

After a long time of trouble, Chen Kuilong was not dead. Li Yuanhong was only half relieved and was about to explain a few words. At this moment, a shell was whistling, and it was exploded nearby. Li Yuanhong had been through the battlefield for a long time and reacted very quickly. While shouting to "lie down", his body had fallen to the ground. The messenger heard the call, but his movements were obviously slower. He ate several shrapnel steadily, and fell into a pool of blood. His neck tilted and hung it.

"Zhengqing, what should I do? What should I do?" "I heard that Zhang Biao is dead, can we still... still hold on?"

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." Li Yuanhong hesitated and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Tell the truth, the revolutionary party

"Chen Kuilong said as he trembled and took out a piece of western from his arms. I was ready."

If it were normal, a dignified governor took out a rope that was enough to surprise, but in such an environment and atmosphere, the fool understood that this was a tool to be used for hanging. Li Yuanhong was anxious and fell to the ground: "Mr. You must not! The Supervisor's Office may not be able to defend it, but the Husband has a way to lead the Forty-first troop and the Supervisor's Guard to protect you to a safe place."

"Seriously?" When Chen Kuilong heard that he had hope of life, he immediately stopped crying and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go to the imperial envoy's garrison. There is an imperial guard station there. First, be safe. Then, so many imperial envoys are together, so the safety of the adults will definitely be guaranteed.

Chen Kuilong was still a little hesitant. Li Yuanhong called his followers to raise Chen Kuilong and left. Seeing that the revolutionary army was about to approach the supervisory office and surrounded him, Li Yuanhong immediately made a decision and ordered the guard to dig a hole from the back wall and retreat from behind. More than a hundred people rushed towards the imperial envoy's station.

Looking at the corpses and deserters along the way on the ground, Li Yuanhong had guessed the general outline of the story, and the Imperial Guards were indeed full of caution.

Just as Li Yuanhong tried every means to protect Chen Kuilong from danger, Chen Huan had already deployed his troops and strengthened the relevant companies. Seeing that the gunfire in front was getting increasingly dense, anyone could think of the fierce battle ahead. After obtaining Cen Chunxuan's approval, he ordered Feng Yuxiang to lead more than 200 soldiers to the Supervisory Office for reinforcements.

"I'm really dead," Li Yuanhong complained secretly as he looked at the neat army standing in front of him. Unexpectedly, when he asked for the number, he turned out to be the Imperial Guard.



It was actually the Imperial Guard! Chen Kuilong was originally nervous, but suddenly felt safe and felt a little safe. After the tense string in his head relaxed slightly. He fainted. He pinched the human and pressed the acupoints to finally wake him up.

In order to accelerate the breakthrough of the enemy's defense line, the Revolutionary Army set fire at the back door of the Supervisor and the Town Command, as well as the bell and drum tower at the front door, so that the artillery teams at the Snake Mountain and Zhonghe Gate were more accurate in shooting at the Supervisor and the Town Command. With the support of artillery fire, the three rebels rushed into the door of the office in one fell swoop and ignited the lobby. The defenders who were trying to rely on the wall to resist stubbornly saw that the situation was hopeless, one surrendered and most of them collapsed. The Supervisor and the Town Command were occupied by the uprising army. If Chen Kuilong and others had not walked for a quarter of an hour, they might have been dumped at this moment.

On Chuwangtai, Sun Chuanfang's troops successfully repelled the sixth attack launched by Xiong Bingkun and Wu Zhaolin. The armory was still as stable as Mount Tai, but when standing at Chuwangtai, there were flames and cannons rumbling in the west. Seeing the torches gathering in a certain place one after another, someone reminded him, "Sir, that is the yamen of the Supervisory Office and the imperial envoy."

What a guy, I really came to the door. Sun Chuanfang stomped his feet angrily: "Second row, bayonet, prepare..."

Before the word "attack" was released, someone next to him had already grabbed his clothes tightly, "Sir, no!"

Sun Chuanfang's eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire: "Why not? The revolutionary party is so rampant. If I don't take action, it will be too late to regret it in the future."

"Sir, the order Chen Xietong gave us was to seize Chu Wangtai and defend the armory Chen. It was only three hours later. If we rush down like this, what's the use of killing and injuring a few revolutionaries? We don't have many people at first, but we can't stand the tossing."

In the six offensive battles just now, although the Revolutionary Party paid nearly 300 casualties, more than 10 people in the Imperial Guards also suffered casualties, and a unit with only 120 people in total, how can we ask for more? Thinking of this, Sun Chuanfang calmed down.

"defense?"

"hold fast?"

"Yes! No bullet can be obtained by these bastards."

Hearing that the reception troops encountered Li Yuanhong and Chen Kuilong, Chen Huan, Wang Yingkai and others rushed to ask: "How is it outside? How much strength does the revolutionary party have?"

"Now that the whole city is rebelling, and I can't figure it out at once. Those who traveled this afternoon have rebelled, and they also said that Zhang Biao is dead...

Wang Yingkai and Chen Huan exchanged glances and said, "Can the Supervisor's Office still be guarded?"

"If the Revolutionary Party had no artillery, it might be able to hold on for a while. Now the Revolutionary Party's artillery is becoming more and more accurate, and I am afraid that the fall of the yamen will only take a moment.

"I order you to go to the Supervisory Office immediately to collect the remaining troops, and make every effort to move towards the imperial envoy's station, and concentrate your last forces to fight with the revolutionary party..."

"Kill!"

"Fight!"
