Chapter 115

Nie Shicheng gave a series of orders, and his heart was a little calmer.

As everyone knows, this ending has long been doomed to failure.

Ma Yukun Yi army on the west side of Kaecheng is the closest Qing army to the town border army, as soon as the battle on the Leaping Horse Mountain started, he got the news, at the beginning, he thought that the town border army of 6,000 people, although attacked in the middle of the night, Yukun and Yongshan are also battle-hardened generals, the town border army has even fought with the big nose of the tsarist Russia, it should not be so easy to lose, and he even wants to see the panic state of the town border army.

Some time ago, the town border army relied on the power of Iktanga, unscrupulous, and caused trouble everywhere. Ignoring their recent Yi Jun, they are unlucky, and there are often some small frictions between the two sides, but Yukun and Yongshan rely on Yi Ke Tang'a, unreasonable, and put the responsibility on Ma Yukun, although Nie Shicheng understands what is going on in his heart, but there is no obvious evidence, and it is some small things like sesame grains, so they are not dealt with, but only mediated in the middle, causing Yi Jun to hold his stomach for a while, although it is no wonder that Nie Shicheng, but Ma Yukun's opinion on the town border army is big.

Let them go, a bunch of self-righteous fools, don't you have the ability to destroy the Japanese army that attacked you for me.

At the beginning, the partial general sent by Yukun to ask for help passed the battle report to Ma Yukun and said: "The situation on Prancing Horse Mountain is urgent, and Lord Yukun asks Lord Ma to send troops to support Prancing Horse Mountain as soon as possible!" ”

Ma Yukun listened to the tone of the empty eyes of the people, and he didn't fight in one place, Lao Tzu is the general soldier of a town, and Yukun is at the same level as you, what qualifications do you have to mobilize Lao Tzu, ask me for support, and use such a tone, Lao Tzu is too lazy to care!

Ma Yukun said lightly: "Go back and tell Lord Yukun, just say that Lord Nie ordered me to garrison the west side of Kaecheng and defend Kaecheng, without Lord Nie's military order, the old man would not dare to rashly raise troops, once Lord Nie learned that he used troops privately, the responsibility was not small." ”

Ma Yukun easily played Tai Chi pushing, and sent the people back.

The second time, Nie Shicheng sent someone to give an order, ordering Ma Yukun to transfer troops to support Yuema Mountain. Ma Yukun didn't take it seriously in his heart, Yuema Mountain has 6,000 town border troops, and he still defends according to the danger, if he can't even stop such a little Japanese army, won't Yukun become a dry meal?

Ma Yukun received the military order and ordered the following to prepare to send troops, but the military order was passed down, but the Yi army was holding back a belly of anger, and no one was willing to go, grinding foreign workers in the same place.

Knowing that Nie Shicheng sent Ma Jinxu to personally deliver the order for the second time, bringing the news that the situation on the Prancing Horse Mountain was critical and the Japanese army in Seoul was heading north, and at the same time Nie Shicheng ordered that the Prancing Horse Mountain must be defended to ensure the safety of the back road, Ma Yukun really paid attention to it and knew the grim situation of the matter.

Ma Yukun hurriedly sent an order, ordering all battalions to send troops quickly and rush to the Prancing Horse Mountain to support.

However, it was already too late, and by the time the Yi army arrived near the Prancing Horse Mountain, it was just in time for Yukun's town border army to retreat from the Prancing Horse Mountain.

Ma Yukun was furious, and asked Yukun: "Yukun, you are so bold, there are 6,000 people in the army on the edge of the town, you can't even hold it for a night, the Prancing Horse Mountain is lost, see what you take to explain to Admiral Nie!" ”

Yukun cried with a sad face, he also knew that the Prancing Horse Mountain was lost, he was going to be unlucky this time, this is the throat of Kaesong to Pyongyang, once it is occupied by the Japanese army, it will cut off the connection between Kaesong and Pyongyang, so that the Qing army in Kaesong has no way to retreat, and falls into an isolated situation, but what can I do if I have lost it?

Yukun scolded angrily: "Ma Yukun! Do you still have the face to say? Lao Tzu has already sent you the order for help, why didn't you delay it until now? If you had arrived earlier, would Lao Tzu have lost the Prancing Horse Mountain? You are a communiqué personal vendetta! Lao Tzu will go to Admiral Nie and Lord Iktang to sue you! ”

Ma Yukun was furious and yelled, "Fart! Yukun, you and I are not subordinate to each other, why do you let Lao Tzu's Yi army listen to you, Lao Tzu guards the flank of Kaicheng, without the military order of Governor Nie, can Lao Tzu transfer troops without authorization? of, you are your own bag, the defeat will be humiliated, who do you blame? ”

While the two were arguing, Yang Mushi arrived on a fast horse, Yang Mushi shouted: "Pass the warrant of Admiral Nie, the border army of Yukun Town, be sure to hold the Prancing Horse Mountain, if the Prancing Horse Mountain is lost, immediately counterattack, recapture the Prancing Horse Mountain, if you can't take the Prancing Horse Mountain, you will not be spared!" ”

Yu Kun was dumbfounded, and said in a snort: "Commander Yang, this Prancing Horse Mountain has lost ......."

Yang Mushi's face changed greatly, and he said, "What, the Prancing Horse Mountain is lost?" Then don't hurry up and organize the troops to recapture it quickly, Ma Junmen, the Admiral has an order, once an accident occurs on the Leaping Horse Mountain, you will assist Lord Yukun to reorganize the troops and seize the Leaping Horse Mountain, no matter what, you must also ensure that the Leaping Horse Mountain is in the hands of the Qing Dynasty; Yukun, if you can't recapture the Prancing Horse Mountain before noon, you just wait for the Admiral's disposal! ”

Yang Mushi didn't dare to delay, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards Kaecheng, the loss of Yuema Mountain, such important information, must be informed to Nie Shicheng as soon as possible, otherwise if there is an accident, Nie Shicheng is not prepared at all, then it will be troublesome.

Yukun and Ma Yukun were left looking at each other on the ground, and after a while, Ma Yukun roared: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and organize your troops to attack the mountain again, no matter what, we must take the Prancing Horse Mountain, otherwise, our 30,000 army is in danger of being wiped out!" ”

Yukun no longer had the leisure to quarrel with Ma Yukun, and hurriedly mobilized his troops to attack again.

Ma Yukun did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered all units of the Yi Army to organize an attack.

The two Qing armies combined with more than 8,000 people launched a fierce attack on the Leaping Horse Mountain.

Fortunately, the heavy artillery of the town border army was not lost and was robbed, otherwise it would have become a defensive weapon for the Japanese army. Ma Yukun and the two artillery battalions of the Zhenbian Army all entered the battle, and nearly 30 heavy artillery guns opened fire at the same time, and the shells were poured on the Leaping Horse Mountain, blowing up the Leaping Horse Mountain to the ground.

On the Prancing Horse Mountain, the Japanese army had just occupied the Prancing Horse Mountain, and before they had time to repair the fortifications, they started a war with the Qing army, and the Japanese army did not show weakness, and the 4,000 Japanese troops were deployed in various important strongholds of the Prancing Horse Mountain step by step, and began to fight back. The Japanese artillery was even more condescending, maximizing the power of the heavy artillery, and the two sides launched an artillery battle.

The two artillery battalions of the Qing army were unable to suppress the Japanese artillery squadron, and half an hour passed, half of the 30 heavy guns were destroyed by the Japanese army.
