However, the Qing army retreated too late, and a hundred or ten Qing soldiers had already crossed the bank and surrendered to Lin Yuan's troops. When Lin Yuan heard that the prisoners had been captured, he immediately ordered the most senior officer among the prisoners to be taken to his room. In the tent, Lin Yuan didn't wait long in the tent when he saw Liu Yufeng bringing a soldier in.

Liu Yufeng said to Lin Yuan: "Successful Lin Shuai, this guy is a battalion commander."

Lin Yuan looked at the soldier, and saw that he was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier, and he was only in his twenties. Lin Yuan had met many battalion commanders, such as Madman Ning, etc. They were all middle-aged people in their 40s. Yuan couldn't help but think: "This soldier is so young, he is actually Ying Tong! It's really strange, why isn't he wearing Ying Tong's clothes?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help asking Liu Yufeng: "Is this person really Ying Tong?"

Liu Yufeng replied: "I asked in the crowd who was the biggest official, and everyone pointed to him and said he was the leader of the camp!"

Lin Yuan nodded and asked the battalion commander, "What's your name?"

The battalion commander timidly replied: "The villain's surname is He, and his name is Zhonghua."

Seeing his timid appearance, Lin Yuan doubted his identity even more, so he slapped the table hard and asked angrily, "Are you an officer?"

When He Zhonghua heard this, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said, "That's right, the villain is the battalion commander of Zhongziying, and he absolutely dare not lie to Commander Lin."

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "Do you believe that you are Yingtong? I have met many Yingtongs, but none of them are like you."

He Zhonghua quickly said: "I was not a battalion commander, but a captain. I used to be from the green battalion of the Hejian Prefecture. Isn't this the Hejian Camp? My lord organized the Hejian Camp according to Master Yuan's new army. There are three levels of battalion, sentry, and team. Each battalion has 1000 people. The entire Hejian Camp has more than 100 battalions. The adults divide these 100 battalions into ten associations and four towns, so there are not enough officers. , I, the little captain, can only be the commander of the battalion."

Lin Yuan asked, "Who is your lord? Is it Duoqi?"

He Zhonghua nodded again and again, and Lin Yuan asked, "I hear what you mean. Your 10 people should be ordinary people, right? Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a shortage of officers."

He Zhonghua said: "Yes, most of the 10 people are civilians. And among the 10 people, not all are men who can fight, there are also some women and children, and there are only a little more than 5 men."

Lin Yuan asked: "Then the remaining [-] are women and children?"

He Zhonghua said: "Shuai Lin is right. In order to gather more people, Duo Qi dragged the people from nearby villages and counties into the barracks with their families, and treated them as soldiers!"

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "Isn't this deceiving yourself? Let's not say that those women and children can't fight at all. Just like him who arranges officers randomly like him, the combat effectiveness of the troops will not increase!"

He Zhonghua said: "Lord Duo Qi doesn't care about that, he just gathered enough people, and then gave a report to the higher-ups, saying that the Hejian Camp has trained [-] elite soldiers, enough to resist Lin Ni, oh no, it's Lin Shuai !"

Lin Yuan asked: "Do you also believe such nonsense?"

He Zhonghua said: "The higher-ups would rather believe what they have than believe nothing, and they will never send anyone to investigate, so Duo Qi can say whatever he wants."

Lin Yuan asked, "How do you know that the higher-ups won't send people to investigate?"

He Zhonghua said: "Don't look at me as a small battalion, but because of cricket fights, I can often get close to Duo Qi. By the way, our Master Duo Qi likes cricket, cock and dog fights the most. Yes, it takes two hours to fight every day if there is no thunder."

Seeing that He Zhonghua was about to digress, Lin Yuan coughed, and He Zhonghua hurriedly said: "I heard from Master Duoqi, and the higher-ups also know that the Hejian Camp, the Dezhou Camp, and the Yellow River Camp will not be able to defend sooner or later. It depends on the Yellow River, so he can say whatever he wants, and he will run south as soon as the Hejian camp is breached, and then he will serve as another official."

Lin Yuan asked, "Then what does Duo Qi do?"

He Zhonghua said: "He is an official in the capital, and he has worked in the Ministry of War. The emperor asked him to stay in Hejian Mansion to form the Hejian Camp."

Lin Yuan asked: "We need weapons to build the Hejian Camp. Where do you get your weapons from?"

He Zhonghua said: "It was given to us by Lord Yuan's subordinates, and there are only less than [-] guns in total, so many of us have no weapons, and Duo Qi does not arrange training, and the following Xie Tong also drink all day long. So even though there are [-] guns, less than half of them can shoot, and even fewer can shoot accurately."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I knew that the Qing army had no fighting power, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. A 10-strong army doesn't even have 1 guns!" Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly thought: 3000 guns , this number seems a bit too big, Yuan Shikai's new army only has more than [-] people, and they took out more than [-] guns at once, so what do they use for themselves?

Lin Yuan then asked: "You said that Yuan Shikai gave you your guns, and they gave them to you, so what kind of guns do they use?"

He Zhonghua said: "I heard that new guns will be released!"

Lin Yuan burst into a cold sweat when he heard this, and thought to himself: "I am very aware of the military industry research and development capabilities of the Qing court. They are absolutely incapable of making new guns by themselves. Buying it from a foreign country, it seems that the foreigner didn't get any cheap from me, so they went to help the Qing court."

Lin Yuan asked, "Is what you said true?"

He Zhonghua nodded again and again, and said: "The villain dare not say half a sentence!"

Lin Yuan waved He Zhonghua down, and asked several people one after another. Although the content of what he said was somewhat different, there was one thing in common: the fighting power of the Qing army was extremely weak!

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Since the fighting power of the Qing army is extremely weak, I will order the troops to attack quickly. Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army has just failed and the morale of the army is unstable, I will take down the Hejian camp!" Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately ordered Xiao Yingwu to stand up. Bridge across the river!

As soon as Lin Yuan's order came out, the bridge-building troops were dispatched quickly. According to Lin Yuan's plan, the mortar unit also cooperated and suppressed the enemy by the river. The cannon immediately fired shells to the opposite bank, and the explosion of the shells became one piece for a while. The Qing army retreated to the camp when they heard the explosion, and never dared to come out again.

Ten minutes later, a pontoon bridge was erected on the river, and tanks and infantry vehicles roared across the pontoon bridge!The prestige of Lin Yuan's tanks is astonishing. In Gansu, they could even scare Long Tengfei's tens of thousands of troops out of their wits. Long Tengfei's troops are still well-trained soldiers, and the current Qing army is just a group of ordinary people improvised. , Seeing the tanks approaching, the souls were frightened and surrendered one after another!

When the tanks broke through the wall, the Qing army completely collapsed. There were people kneeling and surrendering everywhere. The camp was full of women and children crying. The battle lasted less than 10 minutes. The so-called Qing army All the [-] elite soldiers surrendered, but Lin Yuan was not happy at all in the camp. He thought in his heart: "This battle is a bit too smooth. If you add the word 'too' to things, it will seem abnormal. This battle Is there anything unusual about it?"
