Nie Shicheng was in the mansion of Kaesong, pacing back and forth, Xu Huaijin and Zhou Dingchen, Yang Mushi and others were standing on the side, the current situation is very bad, I really don't know where this Japanese army came from, Nie Shicheng is only afraid of staring at the area of Seoul on weekdays, for the north of Kaesong, it is really relaxed, no way, the blue wolf personnel are only so little, it is unrealistic to cover the whole of North Korea, and the rest of the scouts are also some, but they are really not very useful, such a large Qing army touched, I didn't even get any information.

Nie Shicheng has this evil breath in my chest, Yukun, Yongshan, you two waste! You led seven or eight thousand people, stationed on the north side of Kaesong, the original task was the easiest, and you were able to be attacked by the Japanese army, it was really an idiot to get home, and until now, it has only been reported that there is a large group of Japanese troops attacking Yuema Mountain, but you have not even figured out the approximate strength of the other party.

Nie Shicheng said angrily: "**** Yukun, it's been so long, I haven't even figured out how many troops the other party has, and let Lao Tzu hurry up to send reinforcements, are your thousands of men and horses eating dry food, if seven or eight thousand people can't even hold a Prancing Horse Mountain, what use do you want, if you really lose the Prancing Horse Mountain and let the Japanese army gain a firm foothold, Lao Tzu will ask the Son of Heaven Sword and cut off your heads!" ”

Xu Huaijin said helplessly: "Dashuai, it's useless to think about these now." The army on the border of the town is claimed to be 8,000 people, of which 1,000 were left in Pyongyang by Iktanga, and there are still 7,000 people left, but I estimate that they have only 5,000 men and horses who have survived. Marshal, the town border army was suddenly attacked, there was no preparation at all, and they had never fought with the Japanese army, I was worried that they would suffer a big loss, so it is not a way to sit back and wait like this, you can send an order to Lord Ma Yukun, let Master Ma lead the troops to support, at least to keep the Prancing Horse Mountain from losing, as for the rest, how can you wait until dawn! ”

Nie Shicheng replied: "It's not a big problem to send troops to support, but now the situation is tense, and the Seoul side doesn't know what the movement is, so it hastily mobilizes the army, and I'm worried that the Seoul side will make a big move." ”

Xu Huaijin said: "There is no way, my lord, even if Seoul makes a move, we can't lose the Prancing Horse Mountain, but once our back road is lost, we are thinking about retaking it, it will be difficult, if our army loses the battle in the future, we want to withdraw to Pyongyang, it will be very troublesome." ”

Yang Mushi also said: "Dashuai, what Senator Xu said makes sense, we can't hesitate, we must first ensure that the Prancing Horse Mountain is not lost!" ”

Nie Shicheng gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Quickly send an order to Ma Yukun, let him lead the Yi army, and quickly support the Prancing Horse Mountain, no matter what, we must ensure that the Prancing Horse Mountain is not lost!" ”

Not long after the order was delivered, Mo Ru burst in from the outside and shouted, "My lord, my lord, there is movement in Seoul!" ”

Nie Shicheng and the others were shocked, knowing that this time there was a big trouble, and the Korean Japanese army must have been preparing for a long time this time, and there was a big trouble in Kaesong.

Nie Shicheng hurriedly asked: "Mo Ru, what's the matter, let's talk quickly!" ”

Mo Ru wiped a handful of sweat and said, "My lord, I just received information from the blue wolf, so I rushed over." The Japanese forces on the Seoul side were now almost all dispatched to Kaesong, led by the chief of the General Staff, Naowen Rimi. The 1st Division and the 3rd Division are the main forces, with a total strength of nearly 30,000 troops, and are rapidly approaching Kaesong. ”

Eighty miles, that means that the Japanese army will be able to reach the foot of Kaesong within one day, and now the fierce battle on Yuema Mountain is in full swing, and the outcome is undecided, and it is inevitable that the army of Seoul is about to arrive again, and Nie Shicheng is anxious for a while.

Nie Shicheng asked: "Huai Jin, now that there is a fierce battle on the back, it is inevitable that the Japanese army will gather to come, why should we respond to the enemy?" ”

Xu Huaijin also had a heavy face, this time the Japanese army attacked, completely occupied the initiative, I really didn't expect the Japanese army to advance so quickly, and now the relationship between the various departments of the Qing army has not been completely straightened out, in a hurry, where can there be a good way.

Xu Huaijin said in a deep voice: "Marshal, for today's plan, only shrink the troops, according to the danger and defend, our army still has 30,000 troops, even if the Japanese army comes to attack, it is only 30,000 or 40,000 people, eagerly, but we can't help us, what we are worried about is nothing more than that our internal command is not smooth, before Lord Zuo and the instructor were in Japan, with the help of the two of them, you are as stable as Mount Tai, and now Lord Zuo went first, and then came to the town border army that caused trouble, and there was a lot of friction with friendly troops, I am afraid that if you want to defeat the Japanese army, it will be even more difficult." ”

Nie Shicheng's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "No matter what, at this time, the situation is compelling, and this handsome man can only suppress people with power, who dares not to listen to the old man's order, he will directly take off his head." Yang Mushi immediately set up a supervision team, and found that there were those who did not obey the military order, and immediately arrested and imprisoned, and those who dared to resist were executed on the spot! ”

Xu Huaijin said: "My lord, let's set a defensive position first, and repel the Japanese army in the north as soon as possible, so that we can concentrate our forces and fight to the death with the inevitable Japanese army in Seoul, otherwise our army will be too dangerous to suffer from the enemy on the back." ”

Nie Shicheng nodded and shouted: "Ma Jinxu, you personally ride a fast horse to the Prancing Horse Mountain to wear my military order, strictly order Yukun and Yongshan, be sure to defend the Prancing Horse Mountain, if it is really lost, give me to take it back before noon tomorrow, if you can't get it back, let Yukun come to see me." Tell Ma Yukun again, at all costs, to support the town border army, we must occupy the Leaping Horse Mountain, this is our retreat, once the retreat is lost, we will all die here! ”

Ma Jinxu agreed, turned around and went out to give the order.

Nie Shicheng then said: "Yang Mushi, you personally led people to the various departments in the south of the city to pass orders, ordering Wei Rugui, Yao Liangcai and Liu Shengxiu to hurry up and build fortifications. ”

Yang Mushi also turned around and went out to give orders, and Nie Shicheng shouted again: "Huai Jin, Keqiang, the two of you inspect Kaecheng, deploy Kaecheng city defense, be sure to ensure that there are no mistakes in the defense of each department, and mobilize three battalions of the inscription battalion to enter the city, as an emergency, ready to support at any time, if there is a problem, go up immediately!" ”

After Nie Shicheng finished deploying, he turned around, looked at Mo Ru, and said, "Mo Ru, you personally organize the blue wolf to step up reconnaissance, and as soon as there is news, you will immediately pass the news back." Send an order to Zhang Yihu and let him prepare for battle, I know the importance of the blue wolf, I will not arrange any tasks for him, let him see the opportunity, act arbitrarily, and give me the majesty of the blue wolf! ”
