Parker and the Shadows of Yesterday Chapter 49

With the war between the north and the south, all domestic attention focused on Anhui.

Following Han Anshan, Yuan Baoshan from Henan and Song Qining from Hubei also sent troops respectively. The Lu army besieged Suzhou, the Henan army occupied Bozhou, and the Hubei army fought all the way to Anqing.

Suddenly, smoke was everywhere.

The main force of the Anhui army was mostly the Green Camp soldiers from the former Qing uprising. After Song Zhou occupied Anhui, he transferred some middle- and lower-level officers from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies to supplement them. However, the foundation was there, and the combat effectiveness was mediocre after all. Not to mention the invading Northern Army. It falls apart at the first touch, but it's not much better. On the contrary, the performance of the militia groups in various parts of Anhui was extraordinary, especially in the southern Anhui area. The Hubei army rushed to Anqing and encountered interceptions from no less than nine local forces along the way. Although they were inferior in numbers and weapons, everyone was not afraid of death, which really made the soldiers fearless. The officer leading the team was frightened, and gradually put away his contempt.
