Chapter 1089: Troop Transport by Train
One hundred thousand troops!
The one hundred thousand troops of Liaodong Prefecture were the army Liu Zheng had organized here after the establishment of the Liaodong Economic Special Zone.
Although they had not undergone long-term, rigorous military training, they already possessed the basic military qualities.
One hundred thousand men.
Including provisions and baggage, if they had traveled at the previous speed, it would have taken at least ten days to reach Fuyuan Town from Liaodong Prefecture...
However, at this moment.
These one hundred thousand men, dense and vast, each carrying a backpack, arrived at the train station one after another.
Yes, a train station.
This was likely the first train station in this world!
Therefore, these soldiers of the Liaodong Army also looked curiously at these strange tracks, where the sleepers had already been laid.
Their mood at this time was both excited and worried...
What excited them was that they were about to make history and become participants in the first troop transport by train. What worried them was that, according to the General, once they boarded this train, they could reach Fuyuan Town within two days!
Good heavens!
Two days!
This was absolutely something they dared not even imagine!
Liang Erfu, along with a group of officials from Liaodong Prefecture, also walked over slowly at this time.
"My Lord!"
The official in charge of the train came up to meet them.
Liang Erfu took a deep breath and asked, "Is everything ready?"
"My Lord, everything is fully prepared!"
The train official replied.
"Good!"
Liang Erfu nodded, and at this moment, he stood on the high platform of the train station. One hundred thousand soldiers looked over at the same time.
"Brothers!"
Liang Erfu scanned the crowd and shouted, "The time for us to go to the battlefield has arrived! The Tsarist Russia thieves covet our Dragon Flame territory; smoke signals rise everywhere, and the flames of war are continuous! The nation is in danger, and our wives and children are in danger!"
The eyes of the one hundred thousand soldiers turned red.
"How could our vast Dragon Flame fear this barbaric country..."
"By the order of the Liaodong Prefect, the one hundred thousand troops shall depart this day. In two days, we shall surely reach Fuyuan to clear out the rebels first, and resist Tsarist Russia second!"
"Clear out the rebels first, resist Tsarist Russia second!"
"Clear out the rebels!"
"Resist Tsarist Russia!"
Everyone in the venue roared along.
"Clear out the rebels!"
"Protect the national territory!"
Following a wave of Liang Erfu's hand, the one hundred thousand men began to carry their backpacks and board the steam train, which was being used for the first time, one after another.
One hundred thousand men...
This naturally could not be solved by a single train.
Therefore, Liaodong Prefecture had prepared many...
The officials from Liaodong Prefecture were also looking at these trains with anticipation.
If this was truly as the Young Master had said, with such rapid speed, then the landscape of war would likely be shattered because of it.
Following that.
With a few whistles from the trains, the steam trains started off slowly, but gradually began to accelerate, slowly becoming faster... Soon, these trains disappeared from people's field of vision.
"Two days, if they can really arrive..."
A sharp glint flickered in Liang Erfu's eyes.
Then...
Liangzhou would no longer fear anyone, nor any Feudatory King! Which country would their Dragon Flame fear then?
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Niu Chaofeng on Kuye Island was still unwilling to fall at this moment.
Even though the enemy was getting closer and closer, even though their faces were becoming clearer and clearer, and even though their cannons were becoming more and more terrifying...
But he still did not want to fall!
In his body, there was still a final shred of strength!
In his will, there was still a final shred of fighting spirit!
Kill!
He let out one final roar.
The other brothers also roared along at this moment.
Kill!
Even if they were to die, they would die like men, die like warriors! They were Longyan, they were Dragon Flame warriors!
The Tsarist Russia general in charge of leading the team saw these Dragon Flame warriors, whose physical strength was already exhausted and who could only stand by leaning on their weapons, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
What is it that makes them unafraid of death?
What kind of spirit is it that keeps supporting them? What is it that gives them such courage?
No wonder they haven't been able to take Kuye Island for so long.
No wonder they have held out for so long.
Soldiers with such a spirit are worthy of their respect!
"Kill!"
But he still issued the final order to charge.
Niu Chaofeng used all his remaining strength and gave a cold smile at the end; the blade in his hand was tied to his wrist with a strip of cloth, as he wanted to take one enemy with him even in his final moment!
Am I going to die...
He had no regrets!
Because even if he died, the Longyan would remember his name! Vice Minister Liu would also remember his name!
The Longyan people would not forget this group of Warriors!
"Kill!"
His low voice carried a parched hoarseness.
However...
Just when he thought he was surely going to die, suddenly, a fresh sound of battle cries erupted from behind.
Everyone was shaken, and they turned their heads in disbelief.
Reinforcements!
Reinforcements have arrived!
A dense mass of people came galloping from another direction on Kuye Island. Although they could not see how many there were, they knew that those coming from this direction could only be the Longyan people!
"Reinforcements are here!"
"Great!"
"They have finally arrived!"
"Longyan! Longyan!"
"Longyan is invincible!"
"Longyan will surely win!"
Niu Chaofeng also pulled a smile to the corner of his mouth, and then his whole body went limp.
"What?"
The people on the Tsarist Russia side also heard these earth-shattering battle cries.
Reinforcements?
This...
Longyan reinforcements have actually arrived! They actually arrived at this moment!
How many people have come?
They did not know. But they heard the sound of hooves, the sound of battle cries, and the deafening roars.
"General, what should we do!"
The complexions of several Russian Army deputy generals had already changed.
Because this time, they had only just landed ten thousand men! If these Longyan reinforcements numbered fifty thousand or one hundred thousand, they feared they would lose another ten thousand men here! This was something Andongliefu absolutely did not want to see right now.
That Russian Army general also fell into a dilemma.
Reinforcements...
They were just one step away, just one step away!
At the very last step, the reinforcements actually arrived! No matter how much unwillingness he felt in his heart, his face could only twist at this moment; he took one last deep look at Niu Chaofeng and the others, and in the end, he still did not kill them, then climbed a hill to see how many reinforcements had come, and through gritted teeth, he shouted: "Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
The Russian Army soldiers had long wanted to retreat...
No one wanted to die!
And everyone knew that if reinforcements had come for the Longyan side, the number would definitely not be small! But because Kuye Island had no port, their landing speed was very slow; if they were ambushed again by this large-scale Longyan army, the losses would be truly significant...
If this Russian Army knew that what had come was not the Longyan Army, but a civilian organization of only five thousand people, I wonder if they would regret it so much their guts turned green...
However.
There are no "ifs" in the world.
The outcome of a battlefield, or its reversal, is always a matter of such an instant.
History is always so full of drama.
