Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 170: A great victory! Guarding Tanggu Port

Zhang Changfeng's subordinates are all recruited martial arts masters, and their fighting ability is unquestionable.

Especially at this moment, the battle formation is like a sword drawn from its sheath, invincible.

Although Freck's personal guards were extremely powerful, they fought hand-to-hand with the Xiongwu Army of Daqian and killed the Xiongwu Army, causing them to collapse and flee.

but,

Meeting Ximen Tang's "Eagle Tribe" at this moment was like being cut into vegetables, and was completely vulnerable.

Ximen Tang currently has three divisions under his command, namely the 'War Division', the 'Eagle Division', and the 'Infiltration Division'!
The leader of the War Department is Yan Kuangtu, the leader of the Eagle Department is Zhang Changfeng, and the leader of the Stealth Department is Aunt Thirteen.

but,

Freck's brave counterattack bought precious time for the Western Allied Forces to retreat.

Hunter fled in panic under the protection of his guards.

Then,

The battle flag of the First Army of the Western Allied Forces was raised high, as if it had a cohesive force. The soldiers of the Western Allied Forces who were running around and about to lose their way all gathered towards the battle flag of the First Army.

Wow——!
The next moment, the Western coalition forces marched away from the Tanggu Port and joined Seymour's army.

at this time,

After seeing Hunter and the Western coalition forces escape danger, Freke lost interest in fighting.

More than half of the two hundred guards were injured in a single charge by Zhang Changfeng's Eagle Troops.

What else is there to fight?
Freke's heart was bleeding, because these were all his personal soldiers.

The Daqian army formation before them was extremely powerful and full of momentum.

It can’t be stopped. It can’t be stopped at all!

“Break out! Break out with all your strength! Fight your way out, retreat—!”

Freck roared.

Clang——!
At this moment, the heavy sword in his hand burst out with super combat power and swept all the way.

The encirclement that had already been formed was actually forced open by Freke.

have to say,

The combat effectiveness of the peak Silver Knight is fierce and invincible.

If fighting alone, Zhang Changfeng is no match for him at all.

After Freke, led by others, fought their way out, the remaining guards swept all the way.

In less than three minutes, Freke left with the remaining guards.

After a fierce battle, less than half of the original 200 guards were left.

Boom——!
At this moment, Yan Kuangtu, who was far away, brought his brothers from the "War Department" and rushed all the way to the Tanggu Port.

Toot—toot—!
The horn sounds!

The fleeing Western coalition forces heard the horn sound and were so frightened that they ran for their lives, not knowing how many reinforcements had arrived.

After a few minutes.

Ximen Tang's battle flag fluttered in the wind, appearing in the eyes of all the remaining people at Tanggu Port.

The Xiongwu Army was completely defeated!

The reorganized Xiongwu Army of 10,000 people was known as the elite of the military of the Daqian Dynasty.

And now,
There were less than two hundred soldiers of the Xiongwu Army alive, and each of them was injured, and almost none of them could stand intact.

The Tanggu Port has been replaced and is guarded by the Ximentang Yituan!
Business is business!

Chen Jie and Ma Liangkun completed the handover.

"We will report to General Ye early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid the Xiongwu Army's designation will be cancelled!"

Ma Liangkun sighed deeply and said:
"I really regret it now. If I had listened to Mr. Xu, Tanggu Port would not have suffered such a disaster."

"We have tens of thousands of soldiers in the Xiongwu Army, and we won't die!"

"It was my stubbornness and arrogance that harmed everyone! It was me who harmed Mr. Xu!"

Xu Wenyang is dead!
In order to defend the Tanggu Port, Xu Wenyang shed his last drop of blood.

He finally saw Ximen Tang’s battle flag planted at the Tanggu Port and died peacefully.

Chen Jie said calmly:

"You don't have to blame yourself. Hunter divided his troops to bypass the Dagukou Fortress and attack the towns outside Tianjin. His purpose was to lure you to send troops!"

"Even if you don't send troops, they will find other ways to make your Xiongwu Army fight!"

"Their main target is the twelve Weiyuan cannons at Tanggu Port."

"As long as the Weiyuan Cannon is destroyed, the Western Krupp Infantry Cannon will have sufficient firepower coverage. Whether your Xiongwu Army goes into battle or not will make no difference to the Western Allied Forces."

finished,

Chen Jie continued calmly:
"Don't worry, your Xiongwu Army's designation will not only be retained, but will be rebuilt again. You will still be the lieutenant general of the Xiongwu Army."

"If you don't do it right, not only will you not be punished, you may even get promoted."

Ma Liangkun was stunned when he heard this.

He thought Chen Jie was joking with him, and shook his head.

"How is this possible? Don't bother to comfort me, Big Boss!"

"This time our Xiongwu Army suffered a crushing defeat, and the Tanggu Port was destroyed. General Ye will definitely not let me off!"

Chen Jie smiled and said calmly:

"Who said this was a crushing defeat? Didn't we win?"

"The 20,000-strong Western coalition army attacked the Tanggu port and launched a fierce assault on the Dagukou fortress."

"In the end, the military forces fought bravely against the enemy, thwarted the Western coalition's conspiracy, and killed more than 6,000 Western coalition soldiers."

"This is the greatest victory the Daqian Dynasty has ever achieved against the Western Allied Forces."

"Not only are you not a criminal, you may even become a meritorious official and be rewarded by the Imperial Court's Ministry of War!"

What Chen Jie can be sure of is that Ye Zhicheng's memorial must have been written in this way.

Although this battle was won by the Ximen Tang Righteous Group.

but,

The Righteous Group and Leaf City are not on the same side.

Even if the Xiongwu Army was destroyed, it could be rebuilt. For the Ministry of War, it was no big deal.

As long as the Tanggu Port is still there, the Dagukou Fortress will not be lost.

Then for Ye Zhicheng from the Ministry of War, everything would be easy.

What’s more, Dagukou Fortress was not lost, this is a fact!

The Xiongwu Army is Ye Zhicheng's direct line. Even if Ma Liangkun wants to be punished, he must not do it in front of outsiders.

If this is announced to the outside world, the Xiongwu Army must be praised!
This is also a disguised way of taking the credit for defending the Tanggu Port onto Ye Zhicheng.

of course,

In order to shut up the Ximen Tang Righteous Group, Ye Zhicheng naturally had to pay a little price.

"Praise or something like that is no longer important to me!"

"After this incident, I realized that I am not suitable to be the commander of an army."

"Because of my arrogance, I killed so many brothers. Now I only ask for atonement!"

well--!
Thinking of this, Ma Liangkun sighed.

Chen Jie didn't care about that. He asked calmly, "Are you ready to leave now?"

Ma Liangkun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes! I'll leave right away. Thank you very much, Ximen Tang, for saving my life this time!"

"The transfer procedures for the defense of Tanggu Port have been completed in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of War."

"From today on, the defense of Tanggu Port will depend on the brothers of Ximen Hall."

"I think Hunter's coalition forces will definitely not give up. If Ximentang wants to guard the Tanggu Port, he must send more troops!"

Chen Jie nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we will send more troops!"

Even if they did not send more troops, with Ximen Hall's powerful firepower, the Western coalition forces would have almost no chance of winning if they wanted to capture this place.

The terrain of Tanggu Port is high above the ground, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack!

Ximen Hall currently has sufficient artillery fire and its firepower is extremely fierce.

Hunter had just suffered a great loss. As long as he was not stupid, he would never use the Tanggu Port as a breakthrough point again.

Half an hour later, as night fell, Ma Liangkun gathered the remnants of the Xiongwu Army and left the Tanggu Port.

in fact,

The Tanggu Port is not far from several other strongholds of the Dagukou Fortress.

but,

Because the previous reinforcement route was blocked, many important roads were blown up.

Ma Liangkun led the remnants of the Xiongwu Army to the base in Ye City, which required him to take a long detour.

When the Hunter coalition forces retreated, Ye Zhicheng had already sent people to take over the Tanggu Port.

Chen Jie naturally sent the people from the Ministry of War away.

Just kidding, Ximen Tang sent troops to the Tanggu Port and fought off the Westerners.

How can it be so easy to give up the fruits of victory?

He made it clear that since Ximentang had taken over the Tanggu Port, he had no intention of leaving.

After seeing Ma Liangkun and his men leave.

Chen Jie returned to the military camp where the Xiongwu Army was stationed at Tanggu Port.

The military camp had changed its appearance at this time. Although it was still some distance away from the fortifications, it was blown down everywhere under the Western artillery.

"Damn! This mess is really quite complete!"

Looking at the barracks in front of him and the dilapidated general's residence, Chen Jie shook his head helplessly and smiled.

Fortunately, the nearby meeting hall did not collapse.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to find a complete place to hold a meeting.

After entering the meeting hall, the only elite members of Ximen Hall were Yan Kuangtu and Zhang Changfeng.

Zeng Xuanhuai went to the Military Affairs Office of the Ministry of War to take over.

To take over the Tanggu Port, we naturally need to take control of everything here.

Even if Ye Zhicheng wanted to object, he couldn't open his mouth.

After all, it was the Ximentang Righteous Group that saved him this time, otherwise the Tanggu Port would have been lost.

Then,

Seymour's army will surely launch a general offensive, and the Dagukou Fortress will fall completely.

Ximen Tang may not care about the apparent achievements, after all, Ximen Tang is just a militia organization.

but,

Ximen Tang would never give up on the actual benefits.

Xue Qian, Zhang Dezhi and other core members of Ximen Hall went to Tianjin City.

"Tanggu Port is guarded by our Ximen Hall. That is to say, starting today, the towns around Tanggu Port, as well as the streets in this area of Tianjin City, etc., will all be taken over by our Ximen Hall!"

Chen Jie and the two generals Yan Kuangtu and Zhang Changfeng said:
"We don't have enough manpower in Ximen Hall. We need to relocate a large number of refugees to rebuild!"

"I have just given orders to the people around here to deal with the corpses on the battlefield to prevent them from rotting, emitting a foul odor, and causing an epidemic!"

"I will take care of the food problem. The fortifications at Tanggu Port and the Acropolis need to be rebuilt!"

"In the coming period, we must restore order at the Tanggu Port as soon as possible. The Xicheng District of Beijing is too small and too close to the capital, so the development of our Ximen Hall is subject to many restrictions."

"The Tanggu Port is the gateway to Tianjin and the most important place in the Dagukou Fortress."

“We at Ximen Hall want to grow and develop, and this is a great location.”

"This attack by the Hunter coalition forces is just a test by the Western coalition forces."

"Although we repelled them, we did not damage the foundation of the coalition forces. Neither the Japanese army nor the Northern Russian coalition forces took action!"

"I believe it won't be long before they come back and launch a final offensive!"

Yan Kuangtu nodded and said:

"Master, don't worry. I have arranged for people to start deploying defenses around the area and occupy the most important position at Tanggu Port."

"In addition, I have arranged for people to start repairing the Weiyuan Cannon."

"The Tanggu Port is ours now. I will definitely turn it into the strongest fortress."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "The power of the Weiyuan Cannon is indeed impressive. We need to renovate and rebuild the cannon."

"The Weiyuan Cannon will be restored to its original power under the name of our Ximen Hall."

"Although General Ye Zhicheng has temporarily agreed to our garrison at Tanggu Port, he is definitely unwilling to give it up like this."

finished,

Chen Jie turned to look at Zhang Changfeng and said:

"Master Zhang, your Eagle Division's performance this time was outstanding."

"But the number of people is still not enough, and we need to continue to expand the scale."

"If the Eagle Tribe can have a thousand men, once they engage in hand-to-hand combat, they will be invincible and unbeatable!"

"The more people there are, the stronger the combat effectiveness will be, and the lower the casualties will be!"

"Once the replica AK47 assault rifles are produced and distributed, your 'Eagle Division' will create our Ximen Hall's second trump card!"

Currently, Ximen Hall's first trump card is the artillery company of the "War Department" under Yan Kuangtu!

Chen Jie's next plan is to create a second trump card in the 'Eagle Division' - a special reconnaissance company!

Just when Chen Jie was discussing with the two key members.

I only heard a joyful voice coming from outside the door.

"Young Master! I'm back--!" Zeng Xuanhuai shouted excitedly.

When Chen Jie heard this, he was stunned.

Back so soon?
It's only been less than an hour since he left. Is Ye Zhicheng so easy to talk to?
Next,
Zeng Xuan came to Chen Jie with a pile of documents in his arms and a smile on his face.

"Sir! Things went very smoothly. I didn't expect General Ye Zhicheng to agree to your request so readily."

"This time, our Ximen Hall has firmly grasped the Tanggu Port."

"General Ye Zhicheng, promise to let our Ximen Hall manage one-third of the entire Dagukou Fortress."

Zeng Xuanhuai felt extremely happy that he had successfully completed the task this time.

He knew better than anyone that what Ximen Tang lacked now was not money or weapons.

Chen Jie put Zeng Xuanhuai in charge of the internal management of Ximen Hall.

Therefore,
He naturally knew that Ximen Hall had no shortage of food, the only thing it lacked was territory!
The area of Xicheng District in Beijing is not small.

But after all, it is in the capital city and is subject to many restrictions.

Once the number of people exceeds the warning line, it will quickly arouse the vigilance of the imperial guards.

This is also why Chen Jie has always controlled the number of people and has not recruited soldiers on a large scale. Instead, he has recruited elites.

When the number of people reaches 500, there is a hurdle.

When the number exceeds one thousand, it will immediately arouse the fear of the Grand Council, the Palace, the Imperial Guards, including the Sixth Prince and the Emperor.

Therefore, even though Ximen Hall has sufficient resources for development, it has never expanded its membership.

For ordinary "righteous groups", the territory of the capital is sufficient for development.

but,

As Chen Jie's assistant, Zeng Xuanhuai was naturally aware of his son's ambitions.

If you want to expand the scale of Ximen Hall, you must have a place that is big enough.

Simultaneously,

It is also necessary to leave the capital to avoid arousing the suspicion of the royal family.

When they heard that Ye Zhicheng from the Ministry of War had actually given up one-third of the territory of Dagukou Fortress, everyone present felt very excited.

To know,
Originally, there were 10,000 Xiongwu troops stationed at Tanggu Port!

Therefore, in the following period of time, even if Ximen Hall grows stronger at the Tanggu Port and possesses 10,000 troops, it is not a big deal.

With Simon Hall's firepower configuration, 500 people can completely wipe out Alande's elite troops and at the same time force Hunter's coalition forces to flee in panic.

Although he took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, he caught him off guard.

But as long as Ximen Hall can grow stronger, even if it faces the Japanese coalition forces or the hundreds of thousands of troops from Northern Russia, it will definitely be able to fight!
Chen Jie nodded and said with a smile:
"Very good! Our arsenal is producing every day!"

"Once we stabilize, our overall combat capability will steadily increase every day!"

"Even if the Hunter coalition forces launch another attack, we will never let them gain any advantage."
