In the end, the battle of Kaesong ended with Zhang Yi's return, but this battle was lost by both sides, and neither the Qing army nor the Japanese army was able to get a good deal. The Japanese army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, which fell short for Shanjiu Qian; The Qing army also suffered heavy damage, not only suffering more than 10,000 casualties, but also Kaesong was also bombed to the ground, and the entire western city wall was razed to the ground.

Although the Qing army seemed to have suffered heavier losses, the Japanese army, as the attacking side, was unable to realize the strategic attempt to break through Kaesong and encircle and annihilate the Qing army.

Zhang Yi led four new armies of nearly 10,000 people into Kaesong and met with Nie Shicheng and others.

With tears in his eyes, Nie Shicheng patted Zhang Yi's shoulder fiercely, and choked up: "Good boy, you saved the old man's life again, Zhang Yi, you are the biggest lucky star in the old man's life!" ”

Zhang Yi hurriedly bowed down and said: "My lord, what did you say, this battle, I also happened to meet at the meeting, I really didn't expect the Japanese army to be so fierce and cunning, it was really a delay in the return of his subordinates, otherwise the loss would not be so serious." ”

Nie Shicheng sighed and said: "10,000 people, more than 10,000 good brothers, just four or five days, all of them were buried here, the old man is guilty, the old man is not properly commanded, so that there is such a big mistake, almost the city is broken, it is really a crime, when this matter is over, the old man should ask the court for his guilt, in order to thank the world!" ”

Zhang Yi's face was straight, and he said: "Marshal, why do you say this, in today's battle, our Qing Dynasty and Japan suffered casualties on each other, although they lost more than 10,000 troops, but the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses, and the generals were lost. If you make a mistake, the army will be handsome, my lord, where will these tens of thousands of elites be placed, and there will be people in the entire Qing Dynasty who can take over the power of the army and fight against the Japanese army? ”

Nie Shicheng's heart sank, it is true, if he pleads to the imperial court, who else can command these tens of thousands of troops to contend with the Japanese army, now Liu Mingchuan has heavy troops in bed, others such as Song Qing and others, the command of the battle is not as good as himself? What's more, once he leaves, who else can trust Zhang Yi so unsuspectingly? Without Zhang Yi's full assistance, how could the obviously backward command system of the Qing army be able to compete with the latest combat strength of the Japanese army?

Nie Shicheng said solemnly: "Jianzhi, what he said is extremely true, the old man, the safety of the whole body is a small matter, and tens of thousands of soldiers and the Daqing Society are serious, but the old man is in a mood and confused for a while. At this time, we will discuss it later. ”

While everyone was talking, Zhang Yihu walked in with his head down.

Zhang Yi saw it at a glance, looking at the dejected Zhang Yihu, Zhang Yi was angry and shouted: "Zhang Yihu! ”

Zhang Yihu hurriedly stood up.

Zhang Yi said sharply: "Yihu, how did you command?" More than 200 blue wolves, went to sneak attack, and they were able to be cut off by others without noticing, is it that you can't find the north after two victories, bastard thing, look at what the blue wolf has been brought by you! ”

Zhang Yi scolded and reprimanded Zhang Yihu even more unable to raise his head, and said in a low voice: "Instructor, it's all the fault of his subordinates, and he was careless for a while, but the blue wolf lost many brothers, and his subordinates confessed their sins and surrendered to the law." ”

Nie Shicheng said on the side: "Jianzhi, no wonder there is a tiger at this time, one is that I am not careful, and the other is that no one thought that there is a Western powerhouse hidden in the Japanese army, and with the intervention of Western powers, we are now a little out of control of the war situation in Korea." ”

Zhang Yi hated and said: "My lord, my subordinates don't blame him for suffering, where in the world is there a winning general, just look at his appearance, just lose one, he will be discouraged, that is a bit like a general of the unified army, like a defeated rooster, how to let me completely hand over the blue wolf to his hands, something that is not enough!" ”

Zhang Yihu suddenly realized that this was not because of his defeat, but because of his spirit.

Zhang Yihu straightened up and said in a loud voice: "Instructor, please rest assured, I will definitely get the field back for you, **** Western devils, I have no problem with them, next time I meet them, let them not even think of escaping from the palm of the wolf!" ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "I also know that now the blue wolf has been expanded and transferred to the backbone, and the combat power has declined, which is also what you must face, as the commander of the blue wolf, you must be strictly trained and not slack, if you really reach the level of the original blue wolf, the Western elite is not a problem, this time I have brought you a batch of new people, these are all good seedlings, but the elite disciples of the fifth master of the heroic king of the capital, there are a total of twenty or thirty people, all of whom are sent to your blue wolf, Their martial arts disciples are very strong, and in time, they will definitely become elite soldiers, so you have to train them well! ”

Zhang Yihu was overjoyed when he heard this, he had already heard of the name of the fifth king of the Great Sword, and now he got thirty disciples to join the blue wolf at once, which was really good.

Nie Shicheng was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Big Sword King Five, I have also heard of his name for a long time, how come you know each other." ”

Zhang Yi smiled, told Nie Shicheng about the acquaintance with Wang Wu and others, and personally introduced Wang Wu to Nie Shicheng, heroes cherish heroes, Nie Shicheng and Wang Wu were both heroes at that time, naturally they hated to see each other late, and at first sight, Nie Shicheng listened to Zhang Yi's suggestion and directly appointed Wang Wu as the chief martial arts instructor of the Qing army, and other disciples also joined the instructor camp as martial arts instructors.

The war ended peacefully, and both the Japanese and Qing troops needed a period of rest before they could return to the battle, but the battle here had just ended, and the other two battles had already quietly begun.

Seoul, the Korean General Headquarters of the Japanese Army.

Da Shanyan looked indifferent, and asked in a deep voice, "Lijian-kun, how are things arranged?" ”

Immediately saw that Shangwen had a cotton yarn wrapped around his shoulders, which was injured in the battle of Kaesong and was shot indiscriminately, and he was not yet able to heal.

Lijian Shangwen replied: "Your Excellency, a total of twenty people participated in this operation, all of whom were martial arts masters and assassination masters selected from the empire's native Black Dragon Society, ensuring that this operation will definitely be successful!" ”

Dashan Yan nodded and said: "Limi-kun, although this battle was fought well, but it still failed to realize our army's strategic attempt to cross Kaesong and attack Pyongyang, although the base camp did not reprimand us, but also asked us to be able to realize the occupation of North Korea as soon as possible, we have no time, we must complete this operation as soon as possible, and be sure to hit it with one blow." Order the Empire's intelligence personnel in Korea to step up the collection of intelligence of the Qing army, and send the most elite intelligence officers to infiltrate Kaesong, cooperate with this operation, and only succeed and not fail! ”

"Hay!" Immediately saw Shangwen bow his head and replied.
