The next night, the entire Nanning City fell into darkness, as if everyone was asleep. But at the end of an alley, in the dark and deep courtyard, several people in Gui Army uniforms were waiting anxiously in the room.

A bombardment was like a dry land thunder blew across the quiet night sky, shaking the entire Nanning City. Then, gunfire sounds outside the west gate of Nanning City, as if a fierce battle was beginning. The gunfire quickly extended from the west gate to the city and spread to all parts of the city.

"Great, they have taken action." The middle-aged soldier stood up and said to the people around him: "The reinforcements are coming, and start acting according to the plan."

"Yes, regiment commander." Several other soldiers stood attentively and quickly ran out of the house. Soon the entire Nanning City fell into chaos, and fierce battles broke out everywhere in the city.

Chen Hongying had just had enough wine and lay on the bed of the third concubine to have a good sleep. Although he was not the only one who led the troops to the expedition this time, Lu Rongting handed over the western Guangdong province to him. Chen Hongying was inexplicably moved by Boss Lu's kindness for his kindness.

As the Gui army's progress in eastern Guangdong became more and more smooth, Chen Hongying's originally tense nerves relaxed. Listening to the good news coming from the front, he drank a lot more frequently. Anyway, he was idle in the back and didn't drink, so he was always full of old wine these days and slept beautifully among women. He was as happy as he wanted.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hongying was half asleep and half awake, and a cannon sound came from his ears, followed by increasingly dense gunfire, which quickly affected the entire city. Chen Hongying, who was originally intoxicated, suddenly woke up in fear. He knew something must have happened.

Hearing that the gunfire was not too dense, Chen Hongying immediately judged that this was a haunting force sent by Chen Jiongming, hoping to disrupt his deployment in the rear. Chen Hongying judged that the number of this haunting force should be insufficient, and the garrison in the city was enough to deal with it. He immediately ordered the two regiments stationed in the city to attack separately and wipe out the enemy troops entering the city.

Chen Hongying was still very confident about the combat effectiveness of the Gui army, so he didn't care. Although he did not continue to sleep, he just sat with Yi in the living room and did not give actual commands. In fact, it was not Chen Hongying who was not incompetent and could not command or fight. In fact, in this era of backward communication, the commander could not conduct precise commands once the night battle started, so as long as the general order was issued, other details of the front-line commander had to adapt to the situation.

The combat effectiveness of the Gui army was indeed strong. After only half an hour of fighting, the gunshots in the city became sparse. After nearly an hour, the entire city returned to tranquility, but Chen Hongying, who had been sitting in the living room, frowns tightly.

The gunshots did not slowly move to the distance and eventually disappear, but were suddenly interrupted in the city, which means that the invading enemy troops did not escape, or the defenders were completely wiped out. A harassing force should have evacuated immediately after achieving their goal. Why did they fight to the end? This is really confusing.

Just as Shen Hongying lowered his head and thought deeply, there was a scattering sound at the gate, followed by the sound of leather boots tapping on the stone road. A creaking sound was heard, and then a large group of soldiers surrounded the two officers and walked in. Chen Hongying was stunned at first, then his expression calmed down. He knew the person who came, Li Zongren, the chief of the Colonel Staff, and Colonel Huang Shaohong, the head of the Nanning Gage Corps.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Chen Hongying leaned on the chair and said, "Why are you here? All the people outside have been eliminated."

"Yes, it's all eliminated." Huang Shaohong did not answer, but was talking to Li Zongren. He took two steps forward and smiled at Chen Hongying and said, "Boss Lu's power in Nanning has been removed by us, so it's time for Mr. Chen to move a place."

"What did you say?" Chen Hongying's eyes widened. He looked at Huang Shaohong and Li Zongren back and forth, unable to believe his ears for a moment.

"What are you kidding?" Chen Hongying scolded.

"Whoever is joking with you, Boss Lu goes against the will of heaven to fight a civil war, we will do our best for heaven." Huang Shaohong snorted coldly.

"You..." Chen Hongying stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Zongren tremblingly, but he couldn't speak.

Li Zongren didn't want to talk nonsense to him, so he waved his hand and said, "Please move Mr. Chen, remember to treat him well." Hearing Li Zongren's order, several big and thick soldiers immediately ran up, pulled Chen Hongying and left the door.

Li Zongren turned his head and said, "Brother Shao Hong, the situation in Nanning is now settled. We need to study how to resist Boss Lu who has turned back."

"Let's study together when Xiao Zhuge comes." Huang Shaohong said with a smile. The little Zhuge he mentioned was Bai Chongxi, the battalion commander of the battalion that first launched an attack at Ximen. After cleaning the battlefield, Bai Chongxi quickly met with Li Zongren. Time was tight, and they didn't care about greetings, so the three of them quickly entered the combat command room.

This combat command room is located in the Governor's Mansion in Nanning City. It is a place where Lu Rongting often comes to the usual place. The maps and sand table arrangements here are all written by Bai Chongxi, and they are also the unique military terrain skills he learned after graduating from the Army University.

"Little Zhuge's sand table is made of the situation in the enemy and us, which is so good." Looking at the clear provincial topographic map on the sand table and the small flags representing both the enemy and us, Huang Shaohong couldn't help but exclaim.

"A little trick made Brother Huang laugh." Bai Chongxi said politely: "Now that the enemy is in front of us, we must handle it carefully and we must not give the enemy an opportunity."

Huang Shaoheng looked at the two and said, "I am a scholar who became a monk halfway through the journey. There is no problem in fighting and charging, but it is not my duty to dispatch troops and generals. This time the command will probably fall on Brother Zong Ren and Xiao Zhuge."

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi looked at each other, and Li Zongren said, "You and I will discuss the uprising together. Now that things have happened in western Guangdong Province, it is naturally the three of us. As long as we three are united, nothing will happen. In the future, we will be the highest leadership and govern the military and political power of the whole province."

"Yes, in the future, we three will be brothers and brothers, so we must unite with sincerity." Bai Chongxi also repeated. The reason why they emphasized unity was that they hoped that the three of them could join forces without any grudges to build the new Guangxi clan. Huang Shaohong also knew this and agreed immediately. The three of them picked up soil to incense and worshiped brothers in the command room.

Huang Shaoheng was the youngest and became the third brother, Bai Chongxi was the second brother, and the oldest Li Zongren became the eldest brother. The three of them decided to distinguish their responsibilities. Li Zongren was in charge of the overall situation and mainly managed the military, Huang Shaoheng was in charge of civil affairs, and Bai Chongxi was in charge of combat planning and mobilized the army to fight.
