If they can really succeed in taking down Yudaomen Station, what kind of impact will it have on this battle, this war and even this revolution?

  The most obvious thing is that without the supplies of Yudaomen Station, the possibility of the Beiyang Army attacking Hanyang will decrease sharply. The entire Hanyang front may come to a standstill because of this, and war is ultimately about logistics. As for anything more, Wang Zhenyu didn't dare think about it. His only thought now was to fight to the death, he couldn't let himself disappear in the vast river of history without leaving a mark.

  It can be considered as the psychological counterattack of a loser!

  But such a bold move of reversing the situation doesn't actually fit with his own personality, and if he had such guts in the future, he wouldn't have to go and spar with Wu Niang every day.

  Maybe at this time, I'll knock out this uncle in front of me who is infected with the Lei Feng spirit and then escape back to Hanyang with him, which might be more reliable.

  After all, you have to look at the object when reversing the attack. The opponent is the Beiyang Army, not a white rich beauty. If there's a slight mistake, it might become a martyr.

  Even if he came from a later generation, facing such a situation, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but hesitate. Should he take the risk or put his hopes on the future? Should he do it or not? Could he really change the course of history?

  It's really because I've read too many books, at critical moments I always think too much and can't make up my mind.

  The bold idea of a counterattack was wandering in his mind, when he only heard Wang Longzhong, this cheap uncle, slapping the table and shouting: "What, the student army of the command center has not yet crossed the river, where is Commander Huang? Where are the people from the command center?"

  Wang Longzhong suddenly felt a sense of urgency and anxiety, and he hastily asked Qingheng how many ships were left.

  Wang Zhenyu saw that he had the intention of letting the student army go first, and suddenly became anxious. This foolish uncle, if we don't leave now, we'll all be doomed in Hankou. He looked at several other leaders, who also showed obvious anxiety on their faces.

  Regardless of whether he wanted to make a night raid or not, the clan uncle could no longer stay here. Wang Zhenyu immediately had an idea and his courage also increased. He quietly walked behind the clan uncle and took advantage of the fact that the clan uncle was speaking, pulled out a pistol in the midst of everyone's astonished gaze, and used the gun handle to knock Wang Longzhong unconscious.

  Then Wang Zhenyu also couldn't help but add more explanation, he commanded to the stunned Qingheng, Liang Xibao and others: "You take one camp and cooperate with General Tong to leave first, I'll stay behind with Lu Diping."

  Seeing everyone still in a daze, Wang Zhenyu suddenly became furious: "What's going on? I'll take the lead, let's go!"

  The two also knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately let Wang Longzhong's guards carry the already unconscious Wang Longzhong on their backs and run away. The staff officers of the coordinating department also reacted at this moment and ran out immediately.

  Lu Di Ping didn't expect Wang Zhenyu to think so highly of himself. He had seen the power of the Beiyang Army and from any angle, he thought he was no match for them. Just now, he was thinking of advising the commander to hurry up and cross the river, but as a result, he was publicly named by Wang Zhenyu and left behind. This made him unable to slip away smoothly. He could only stand there awkwardly with a foolish smile, his eyes darting around, thinking of ways to escape.

  Wang Zhenyu would not have known what he was thinking, the battle had reached this point, it seemed that only by staying in Hankou to continue completing Huang Xing's surprise attack on Yudaomen could turn the tide of the entire situation. He had a rough idea in his mind, but needed someone to cooperate with him, so Lu Diping was chosen by him.

  "Lu Da Ge, brother I'm covering your back here, you quickly retreat, but you can't immediately take the boat and leave, you have to help me out."

  Lu Di Ping's face suddenly turned bright red, and he said that his inner thoughts had been seen through by Wang Zhen Yu: "No, Brother Wang, let's leave together. I'll cover your back, you go first."

  Wang Zhenyu was slightly moved, but he had already made up his mind that not only could he not withdraw, but he also had to make some moves in Hankou, in the belly of the Beiyang Army. Otherwise, he might disappear from history along with Wang Longzhong.

  "Lu Dage, stop pushing, time is pressing, listen to me, you take the three camps of brothers and withdraw from here, walk five miles and cross the river, this will be a great help to your brother."

  "What's up, brother?" Lu Di Ping didn't understand why they had to walk five miles and then cross the river, nor did he know what Wang Zhenyu was going to do. Although he now wanted to slip away, he still had to ask out of politeness.

  "I'll retreat with you from here, but in different directions." Wang Zhenyu was unwilling to say more, he hoped to get moving as soon as possible, heaven knows when those Beiyang troops would launch an attack.

  Lu Di Ping still wouldn't give up: "So Wang, you've crossed the river?"

  Wang Zhenyu, who had already decided to take a risk, was well aware of Lu Diping's thoughts. He suddenly smiled and said: "I'm just a younger brother, if you really can't bear to part with me, let's get those student soldiers who just arrived to lure the enemy for us, and we two brothers will have a good stroll around Hankou."

  Lu Diping's curiosity was immediately replaced by a strong desire to survive: "I understand, brother. How can those student soldiers bear the heavy task of luring the enemy? I'll go instead. Take care, Wang old brother, let's meet in Hankou."

  Lu Diping ran out to gather his team without wasting a minute after finishing speaking.

  Wang Zhenyu immediately took Ma Xicheng and Zhao Dongsheng to the temporary rest station of the student army. His plan was probably even more unreliable than Huang Xing's, and if things went wrong, it would be a disaster. Therefore, in his opinion, except for his own second battalion, only this passionate revolutionary student army, which was easy to stir up and wouldn't calculate gains and losses, was suitable for following him to do such a risky thing. So the first step of his entire adventurous action was to gain control over these more than 200 student soldiers.

  Wang Zhenyu thought hard about some of the experiences he had accumulated over the years in terms of getting along with people and things, and roughly knew how to operate. Then he tidied up his military uniform and walked in big strides.

  "Who is in charge here?" Wang Zhenyu asked bluntly.

  More than 200 students looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. This was beyond Wang Zhenyu's expectations. According to the original plan, someone should have come out by now, but surprisingly no one did. The next part of the script couldn't be performed as planned, but he didn't allow himself to show any hesitation. He had to suppress these students with his aura. He shouted loudly "I'll ask again, who among you can take charge?"

  A gourd-faced, twenty-four or five-year-old man hesitated for a moment before standing up and answering cautiously: "Reporting to the superior officer, I am Xu Yuanquan, the captain of the wartime command department's student team. We are all directly under General Huang's command. Now that General Huang is not here, I think I, as the captain, can take charge."

  Wang Zhenyu nodded, then ordered in a very stern tone: "Alright, from now on, all of you will be incorporated into the First Division, First Brigade, Second Battalion, Fifth Company of the Hubei-Hunan Relief Army. You, Xu Yuanquan, I appoint you as the captain of the Fifth Company, and you will take direct orders from me."

  Xu Yuanquan's answer was conditioned reflex-like.

  Then he asked Wang Zhenyu in a low voice: "Excuse me, sir, who are you?"

  "It's me, Wang Zhenyu," Wang Zhenyu replied with a heroic tone, as if he was famous or something. "Immediately lead the fifth team to gather in the middle of the academy and prepare to set off."

  Xu Yuanquan didn't know who Wang Zhenya was, but he had already been intimidated by this person named Wang Zhenya. He didn't dare ask more questions and immediately turned around to shout loudly: "Listen to my orders, everyone gather in three columns!"

  These students were cultured and had ideas, and there was not much of a soldier's air about them. Similarly, they were defeated, but they could complete the gathering action at the fastest speed, and under Xu Yuanquan's leadership, they quickly advanced to the empty space in the middle of the academy.

  Wang Zhenyu let out a sigh of relief, he was initially worried that he couldn't control the situation and command this student army, fortunately, the student army was very obedient and disciplined, he succeeded. A good start is the foundation of success, his own plan in his heart must succeed, otherwise, it's better to shoot himself, no more muddle-headed life, Wang Zhenyu wouldn't allow that.

  The performance of the second battalion made Wang Zhenyu very satisfied. While all the troops were scrambling to grab the ferry to escape across the Han River, only the second battalion was not in a panic. Everyone stood there calmly, waiting for the commander's orders. Wang Zhenyu knew that this was not loyalty to the revolution, these soldiers did not have such high awareness, they only had trust in their own commander, it seemed that the twenty military sticks he had endured were not in vain.

  The 754 men of the Second Battalion and the 21 student soldiers of the newly formed Fifth Company were all lined up, while not far away, Lu Diping had already begun to organize the officers and men of the Third Battalion to withdraw from the Boai Academy.

  It's now a matter of seconds, Wang Zhenyu didn't plan on giving another motivational speech here.

  He sternly ordered: "Everyone follow me, withdraw from the academy and head right."

  Yang Wangu and his men were startled, turning right into Chang'an, without returning to Hanyang.

  But at this time, looking at the murderous look on Guan Dai's face, they didn't dare to have a different opinion, and honestly followed him. However, they came to the same conclusion: Wang Guan Dai must be crazy!

  On November 17th at 1 pm, the Beiyang Army under Ma Jicheng launched a feigned attack on the Bohai Academy before Lu Diping's troops had fully withdrawn. As a result, Song Xianfu led the second battalion to repel them with a barrage of gunfire, leaving behind dozens of corpses. The Beiyang Army immediately judged that the militia guarding the academy still had considerable combat strength and determination, so Ma Jicheng decisively decided to wait for the arrival of heavy artillery before making another move.

  Inside the academy, Wang Zhenyu didn't see the enemy army coming up for a long time, so he guessed that the other side was adjusting its forces and would launch an all-out attack later. He couldn't wait any longer, so he quietly led these 900 people to withdraw from Bo'ai Academy.

  Just as they had walked out for less than three miles, they heard the sound of cannons firing in succession. The Beiyang Army's artillery fire accurately landed on the outer perimeter of the Boai Academy, and it was a close call, almost everyone thought so.

  Wang Zhenyu did not react at all, and the team probably walked another mile. Wang Zhenyu looked at the distant Lu Diping troops boarding the ship with binoculars and immediately ordered the whole team to turn right and advance quickly. Yang Wangu and others looked at the friendly forces boarding in the distance and swallowed their saliva, reluctantly following Wang Zhenyu's order to turn right.

  Ma Jizeng soon discovered that there were no more militia in the academy, and they immediately entered the academy and dispatched pursuit troops along the Han River. When the Beiyang Army arrived, they also found Lu Diping's troops crossing the river. They chased to the shore, but Lu Diping's troops had barely finished crossing, leaving the pursuing Beiyang soldiers to fire randomly at the opposite bank of the river in frustration, and even knocked down a few unlucky ones who were running out of luck.
