The staff officer on the side asked, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" Will it continue to attack the Qing army in the southern foothills, or will the army come back to help? ”

Oshima Yoshimasa suppressed his anger a little, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Qing army is attacking the Chenghuanyi station, it must have been prepared for a long time, even if we return to the reinforcements and rush back to the station, I am afraid that all the materials have been reduced to ashes." And it seems that Nie Shicheng's troops must be prepared, maybe Shan Yijun's army is now in trouble, and he ordered the first brigade and the second brigade to march quickly! Straight into the rear of Nie Shicheng's department, and form a circle with Shan Yizuo, be sure to annihilate me completely! ”

At this time, the Japanese army in Chenghuan was stationed, and the Japanese troops left behind were completely defeated, looking at the mountains of materials, Zhang Yi was greedy, but with only dozens of them, nothing could be taken away here.

Zhang Yi sighed and said, "Xu Huaijin, lead the second team to search and see if there are any valuable materials we can take away, quickly!" The others set fire to me separately, along with their ammunition. ”

After a while, a raging fire rose into the sky, and at this time, Xu Huaijin hurriedly ran up and said happily: "My lord, my lord, a large amount of gold has been found in the northwest corner!" ”

Zhang Yi's heart perked up and asked, "Where?" ”

Xu Huaijin said: "My lord, there are at least more than 100 boxes of gold, all of which are small goldfish, I think there are at least nearly 10,000 taels!" Come with me. ”

Zhang Yi was overjoyed and ordered: "Tan Feng, lead a few brothers to guard the sentry, and everyone else will come with me!" ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yi followed Xu Huaijin to the place where the gold was stored, which was just an inconspicuous cabin. Xu Huaijin has ordered someone to move all the gold out. I saw wooden boxes, about two feet long, one foot wide, and one foot high. Zhang Yi casually opened a wooden box, only to see that there were seven or eight layers of gold bars in it, and the number was estimated to be no less than seventy or eighty.

Zhang Yi took out one casually and clicked it, there were about seven or eight taels, and there were more than 100 boxes here, and I was afraid that it would cost tens of thousands of taels of gold. Zhang Yi groaned slightly, and shouted: "Immediately put all the boxes on the war horse, one war horse drags two boxes, and tie them with ropes, we will retreat immediately!" ”

Everyone hurriedly watched the wooden box, everyone hurriedly watched the wooden box, and soon the things were packed up, at this time Tan Feng ran over and shouted: "My lord, the Japanese army's forward cavalry team quickly returned to help, and now it is less than five miles away from us." ”

Now the fire has gradually weakened, Zhang Yi looked at the messy Japanese camp, suddenly his heart was cold, the secret way is not good, he patronized it, made the fire too big, and when the Japanese army saw it, it was too late to come back to help the fire, I am afraid that the Japanese army Oshima Yoshimasa will also think of this, if his main force does not come back, but continues to march and besiege our camp, then Nie Shicheng and others will be in danger.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi shouted: "Pass my order, assemble the team, and quickly return to Asan along the short road, I am afraid that my lord is in danger, we will rush back immediately, give them a knife from the back of the Japanese army, and maybe we can relieve the siege of Asan!" ”

Xu Huaijin frowned and said, "My lord, if we go back along the shortest road, we will inevitably meet the Japanese cavalry, I am afraid that there are no less than three hundred of them, once they are entangled, we are afraid that we will not be able to get out of the ...... in a hurry."

Zhang Yi shouted: "I can't care so much, everyone is ready to fight, break through the Japanese cavalry as quickly as possible, don't love to fight, you must rush back to Asan as quickly as possible!" ”

With that, he took the reins of his horse and rushed down in the direction of Asan. Everyone followed, and after only a few minutes, the Japanese cavalry in front had already discovered the men and horses of the reconnaissance battalion, stopped in place, set up a formation, and waited for the arrival of the reconnaissance battalion.

Zhang Yi waved the saber in his hand and shouted: "Blue wolf, kill!" ”

The eighty brothers behind him shouted: "Kill! With the sound, the whole team rushed directly towards the Japanese cavalry. At this time, the commander of the Japanese cavalry squadron was also full of anger, and anyone who looked at their own should be burned, and the anger in his heart was difficult to calm down, and the Japanese cavalry squadron leader shouted, and the cavalry on both sides charged towards each other.

The cavalry of both sides was combined, and the team of nearly four hundred people was mixed together. The collision of hundreds of sabers, a terrible roar, the neighing of war horses, blood splashing in the air, and even some people's limbs were chopped up, and the battle suddenly returned to the era of cold weapons, although the Japanese cavalry was brave, but they were facing a special scout trained in the training method of the next few decades, although the Japanese army was far superior in numbers, but under a round, at least thirty or forty Japanese soldiers were cut down under the horse, and Zhang Yi's reconnaissance battalion only had a few people slightly wounded, The two teams had just separated, and Zhang Yi shouted: "Don't fight, withdraw!" As he spoke, the men and horses followed Zhang Yi and galloped in the direction of Ashan.

When the Japanese cavalry team ran more than 100 meters away, they circled back their horses one after another, preparing to fight again, only to see that Zhang Yi and others had already flown away, and dozens of corpses were thrown down on the ground, all of which were Japanese cavalry. The Japanese squadron leader's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "Baga! A herd of timid China pigs! ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his rifle and fired more than ten shots in a row, but at this time, Zhang Yi's men and horses had already run out of four or five hundred meters, how could they still hit it again? The fire in the barracks behind him is still burning, and it is still important to save the life, and the amount of materials that can be grabbed is as much as the supplies. The cavalry squadron leader roared angrily, and reluctantly led the team towards the camp, seizing the time to save the life.

When they came to their camp, they saw that there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, the grain and grass had been burned clean, and there was not much ammunition left to detonate, and there was not a single completed house or a complete tent in the camp......

"Ah......h

The southern foot of the camp, Nie Shicheng nervously looked at the battle situation, now the Japanese cavalry has already broken through the fire blockade of the Krupp heavy artillery, and is about to rush to the front of the battalion, Nie Shicheng did not expect the Japanese cavalry to be so fearless of death, under the blockade of artillery and Green artillery heavy machine guns, they still did not retreat, and still came to the front, the heavy artillery had long lost its effect, and the role of the Green Gun was about to be lost. Nie Shicheng snorted coldly: "Cavalry battalion, charge to meet the enemy, be sure to suppress the Japanese cavalry in front of the battalion for me, so that their infantry can't rush up!" ”

More than 300 people from the cavalry battalion shouted in unison, urging the horses to rush towards the Japanese cavalry. In the blink of an eye, the two strange soldiers were mixed together, this is a rare cold weapon fight after entering the era of hot weapons, the two armies together, and no less than seven or eight hundred people, sabers danced, war horses neighed, and severed limbs and broken arms flew in the air. Although Nie Shicheng's troops were brave and could be said to be outstanding elite soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, they fought with the Japanese cavalry in one place, and the shortcomings were immediately apparent, and after only three rounds, there were only more than 200 people left of more than 300 cavalry, and there were nearly 400 Japanese cavalry.

Nie Shicheng saw the blood dripping from his heart, these are all the elite soldiers who followed him on the bloody battlefield, they are all his own blood! In just a few minutes, his own cavalry battalion was in the charge and was scattered by the Japanese cavalry. Alas, it would be nice if Zhang Yi's reconnaissance battalion was around, a few charges down, they could definitely suppress the Japanese cavalry back, that Bagan trained cavalry, that was first-class, definitely more powerful than the Japanese army!

Just when Nie Shicheng's heart was aching, a scout ran up with a pale face and shouted, "Junmen, no, it's not good!" ”

Nie Shicheng said angrily: "What's the alarm! There's no testimony at all, what's wrong? ”

The scout replied: "Military gate, it's not good, the camp at the northern foot has been broken by the Japanese army. The Japanese army did not return to the army to rescue their camp, but pounced on our camp! ”

Nie Shicheng was shocked when he heard this, what was going on, he clearly saw that the fire in the direction of Cheng Huanyi had already ignited, at least Zhang Yi's sneak attack had been successfully launched. Even if the remaining Japanese troops are not completely annihilated, they will not have the energy to become angry under the attack of the blue wolf brigade. The Japanese army didn't even come back to the rescue camp?

Nie Shicheng didn't have time to think about it, and shouted: "Li Gang, immediately lead the deputy middle battalion to the northern foothills, and be sure to nail the Japanese troops in the northern foothills to me on the way!" Ordered the left and right battalions of the training army to strengthen the offensive for me, shoot all the shells out for me, and after the shelling, launch a charge against the Japanese army, and be sure to defeat the enemy in front of me! ”
