Chapter 124: Wai Wei to save Zhao and send aid halfway

Zhang Yi led more than 5,000 new troops to wait for the port of North Korea, and the blue wolf who was waiting here hurried over to meet Zhang Yi and report the current battle situation.

"What?" Zhang Yi was really taken aback, he never thought that the Qing army would be defeated so quickly, and the city would be surrounded by Japanese soldiers in just two or three days.

Yu Wenshun said bitterly: "Instructor, this defeat, in addition to the fact that the Japanese army is fully prepared, is also because the Japanese army suddenly sprung up, rushed from the far road of Wonsan, and attacked the Leaping Horse Mountain north of Kaesong at night, blocking the retreat of our army, and more than 6,000 people of the town border army were driven off the Leaping Horse Mountain overnight. Later, Lord Ma Yukun led troops to support, but was raided by the Japanese army and occupied the Xicheng camp, causing the Japanese army to completely occupy the initiative on the battlefield. Even Commander Zhang led the blue wolf to attack, but he did not take advantage of it, returned in vain, and also lost dozens of blue wolf brothers. ”

"What?" Zhang Yi was really surprised, although the combat effectiveness of the Blue Wolf Battalion declined after it underwent the expansion and the transfer of backbone personnel to train the new army, it was not something that ordinary Japanese troops could deal with, and this was tested by more than ten battles. Even if the mission is unsuccessful, it is not difficult to get out of the way? The losses were so severe.

Zhang Yi said angrily: "How did Zhang Yihu do it, he actually brought the blue wolf like this, can it still be done?" If it doesn't work, just replace Tan Feng with it! ”

Zhang Yi is really angry this time!

Yu Wenshun smiled bitterly: "Instructor, this time I really don't blame Commander Zhang, he has made complete preparations, but he didn't expect that there was a Western army of three or four hundred people hidden in the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and it was able to be equal to our blue wolf, if it weren't for our well-equipped and superior weapons, it would be very difficult to get rid of them." ”

"Western elite!" Zhang Yi's heart sank, how could the Western powers also get involved, this is very difficult.

Yuwen hurriedly said: "Instructor, don't think so much about it first, Nie Dashuai can't support it for a few days, this time the Japanese army has mobilized more than 30,000 Japanese troops, and the Japanese army in Seoul has all set out in a nest, just to break through Kaesong and wipe out our Qing army, this doesn't even cut off our back road, and a whole brigade of troops is stationed on the Prancing Horse Mountain alone!" ”

Zhang Yi's head turned quickly, towards the countermeasure, more than 30,000 Japanese troops? With such a strong force, even if all the 10,000 new troops are gathered, if we fight hard, we will not want to gain the upper hand.

Suddenly, Zhang Yi's eyes lit up and he had an idea.

Zhang Yi said: "Brother Li Gang, now that the Japanese army in Seoul is pouring out, then you will lead the 5,000 new army, go straight to Seoul, give him a salary from the bottom of the kettle, encircle Wei to save Zhao, this time forward, we must make a big noise, let the Japanese army know that the new army is strong, and attract them to come back to help, Yu Wenshun, you immediately return to Kaesong, pass on my order, let Mo Ru withdraw the blockade of the Japanese army's intelligence, and no longer intercept and kill the Japanese scouts, so that the information of the attack on Seoul can be quickly transmitted to the main force of the Japanese army, and tell the marshal, Let's just say that he should hold on for three days no matter what, and after three days, the Japanese army will be in a panic! Brother Li Gang, once the Japanese army divides their troops to the south to rescue, you will set up an ambush on their way and give them a hard blow, but remember, after the ambush, immediately retreat north, don't fall in love with the war, quickly retreat to Songyue Mountain and stand by! I am here waiting for the arrival of the second batch of new troops, once the new army arrives, I will go straight behind the Japanese army, fight with the Kaesong Qing army inside and outside, and break their siege in one fell swoop! ”

After Zhang Yi passed the military order, Li Gang left Zhang Yi with a battalion of troops, led 5,000 new troops, and went straight to Seoul!

Li Gang's new army had just been operating for more than half a day, and the information had already been handed over to Dashan Yan and Limi Shangwen.

8,000 new troops went straight to Seoul! The two of them gasped, they didn't calculate, at this critical moment, Zhang Yi rushed back with the new army of the Qing Kingdom, which was troublesome. Now the total number of defenders of Seoul is only more than 2,000 people, and they can't resist the 8,000 Qing army at all, not to mention that the leader is still the legendary Hades King Zhang, who uses soldiers like a god.

Dashan Yanxin was unwilling, what a good situation, he could immediately defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop and take Kaesong, but the situation suddenly changed and became a dilemma.

Dashanyan asked with difficulty, "What should I do?" Immediately? ”

Seeing Shang Wen pondering for a moment and replied: "Your Excellency Commander, now we can only retreat to Seoul, and then try a good strategy, Seoul is our foundation in Korea, and there is absolutely no room for loss, so we can only immediately mobilize heavy troops to return to reinforcements and give up attacking Seoul." ”

"No way!" Dashanyan is difficult to withstand the greed in his chest, it is already at this time, taking Kaesong, it is only a matter of a few days, no matter what, it can't be wasted, even if Dashanyan sees Shang Wenyan and obeys, this time he has to think carefully.

"Yes, we must not withdraw our troops, as long as we take Kaesong and defeat Nie Shicheng's troops, the whole of Korea will be ours, and the thousands of Qing troops who only attack Seoul will not be able to hold us up at all, and we can't give up Seoul no matter what!" Yamachi Genji was originally at odds with Tachimi Shangwen, but now Dashan Yan has rejected Limi Shangwen's suggestion, which naturally adds fuel to the fire.

Immediately saw that Shangwen looked helplessly at this one general, a lieutenant general, this is the pillar of the Japanese army today, the two opposed in unison, and he couldn't resist the pressure of the two people at all.

Lijian Shangwen said: "Two, Seoul is very important, but it stores all our military supplies in North Korea, as well as intelligence information, once it is lost, then we will become a tree without roots, how can we fight the next battle?" ”

Dashan Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Send a telegram to the Busan side, ordering the Busan garrison to immediately move closer to Seoul and assist the Seoul garrison in defense, and then order the 17th Brigade and the 13th Wing to quickly return to defend Seoul." The rest of the troops stay in Seoul, and they must take down Seoul, and this time I must make Nie Shicheng's head fall to the ground! ”

Seeing that Shang Wen saw that Dashanyan had made up his mind, he had no choice but to agree and go down to pass the order.

All of a sudden, more than 8,000 Japanese troops in Kaesong were transferred, and less than 30,000 remained.

Kaicheng, Nie Shicheng received a report from Yu Wenshun, he was extremely excited, Zhang Yi came back, and brought back 10,000 troops, this time, he must fight with the Japanese army fiercely, and let out the anger in his heart.

Nie Shicheng ordered the nearly 20,000 Qing troops in Kaecheng to strengthen their vigilance, and they must withstand the continuous attack of the Japanese army and hold on until the arrival of Zhang Yi's army!
