Chapter Eighty-Four: Nozu Falls

While the battle on Mt. Koo was fierce, the battle on Mt. Matsutake also entered its fiercest stage.

In less than ten minutes, the Qing troops around Songyue Mountain launched a siege on the Fifth Division, and seventy or eighty heavy artillery pieces opened fire together, blowing up Songyue Mountain so that it was impossible to find a decent stone.

The weak fortifications of the Fifth Division were completely destroyed by the Qing army in just one hour, and the remaining dozen or so cannons were completely overwhelmed by the Qing army's artillery fire. The Japanese army, which was exposed to the artillery fire of the Qing army, was unable to carry out an effective defense at all, and was beaten to pieces by the Qing army.

In the morning, the Qing army of the fourth route launched a general attack on Songyue Mountain, on Songyue Mountain, the Japanese army could no longer withstand the attack of the Qing army, just after noon, the outer defense line of the Fifth Division was all lost, and the casualties exceeded 4,000 people.

It's just that it's not easy to break through. Garrisoned on the south side of Songyue Mountain was the 4,000 Huai army led by Wei Rugui, and Nie Shi became the seal of the pocket, and allocated the 1,000 people that Ye Zhichao had recruited to Wei Rugui for the time being. Nearly 5,000 men and horses, plus powerful infantry artillery, fight together, one man is the pass, and Mo Fu is not open.

Nozu Michikan led 4,000 remnants of the defeated general, hurriedly retreated from Songyue Mountain, Zhang Yi led the inscription battalion to attack Songyue Mountain, from top to bottom, to Nozu Michikan launched a pursuit, Ma Yukun and Fengsheng A on the left and right sides also advanced towards the southern foot of Songyue Mountain, and tightly surrounded Nozu Michikan in a narrow strip under Songyue Mountain.

Nozu Michikan is also worthy of a generation of famous generals, and he saw the weak area of the Qing army from the changes in the battlefield. Although Fengsheng's army is also the same as other Qing troops, the accuracy is too far apart, and the quality of this Qing army is the lowest!

Nozu shouted: "The whole army turned, attacked the Qing army on the west side, tore a mouth, and broke out!" ”

In desperation, the Japanese army desperately launched a fierce attack on Fengsheng Abe, trying to tear a hole. Feng Sheng's army suddenly increased its pressure, and gradually lost its footing. Fengsheng Ah was sweating profusely, he secretly scolded his mother, why don't you want this Qing army to attack Lao Tzu here, is it easy for Lao Tzu to make some contributions? If this is to let Nozu Daoguan slip away from here, then Nie Shicheng will not dismantle himself in eight pieces, and now he is holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, and he has the right to cut first and then play.

Feng Sheng'a desperately ordered to block the attack, but under the heavy pressure, the Qing army's formation was gradually torn apart, and almost more than 1,000 people successfully rushed out of Fengsheng's hands.

Fengsheng was in a big hurry, and ordered the whole army to pursue, and the Japanese army must be intercepted.

Nozu Michikan, who jumped out of the cage, was overjoyed, and did not dare to stop any longer, leading the remnants of the defeated army to flee to the southwest, and Fengsheng's troops were in hot pursuit. It's just that, under the desperate effort, the Japanese army burst out all the potential in their bodies, and the speed of the march was staggering, and Fengsheng's men and horses were gradually thrown away.

Nozu Michikan led the remnants to escape for more than ten miles in one go, only then did he gradually slow down, and saw that the Qing army behind him had gradually disappeared, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and did not dare to be careless, and ordered: "Everyone prepare for five minutes, continue to advance immediately, and get out of the control of the Qing army as soon as possible." ”

The remnants of the Japanese army had just been put in order, and they took a breath, but Feng Sheng's troops did not catch up. On both sides of the mountain road, a Qing army was killed, and launched an attack from the mountains and forests on both sides. More than 10 mortar shells accurately landed on the Japanese position, and in an instant, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were directly injured in the sky. Nozu Michiguan was also really shocked by the aftermath of the shell explosion, and his body was also fragmented by the shell.

Nozu Michikani yelled, "Enemy attack! Fight now! ”

After a period of panic, the eight or nine hundred Japanese troops stabilized and began to fight back, but the other side was attacking in the dense forest, and the body was hidden, and the Japanese army had no heavy weapons, and even the heavy machine guns had been lost, how could they gain the upper hand, not to mention, they were facing the sharp knife of the great fresh rise - the blue wolf!

This group of Qing troops is the blue wolf army led by Zhang Yihu, Zhang Yi and Nie Shicheng expected that the most likely breakthrough direction of Nojin Daoguan was Wei Rugui in the south and Fengsheng A in the west, fleeing southward, and it was easiest to converge with the Japanese army that came to support, but Wei Rugui had strong troops, and at the same time, Zhang Yi stabbed the knife of the Fifth Division in the back, and the Fifth Division would definitely not be able to break through; Nozu Michikan, as a general, will definitely attack and break through to Fengsheng Abe, the weakest combat power, and the Qing army under Fengsheng Abu has low military literacy and poor combat effectiveness, so he is afraid that he will not be able to intercept the desperate Fifth Division; It's just that now Nie Shicheng has no troops to send, and all the troops have been dispatched.

In desperation, Nie Shicheng had no choice but to pull the blue wolf out and order Zhang Yihu to personally lead the blue wolf of one hundred and fifty people to intercept the Japanese army on the south side of Fengsheng's army, and they happened to meet here.

Although the number of Japanese troops is still eight or nine hundred, but now the morale is low, the army has no fighting spirit, the blue wolf is well-equipped, and carries a few mortars, and at the same time, with the help of the cover of the mountains and forests, a fierce attack, the Japanese army is defeated.

Nozu Michikan was about to lead the Japanese army to continue to flee, a bullet flew in, right in the forehead of Nozu Michikan, Nozu Michikan opened his eyes, his body slowly fell to the ground, and the surrounding Japanese troops saw that the division commander was killed, and they could no longer support it, and they scattered and fled, completely routing.

Zhang Yihu in the distance, blowing the pistol that was still smoking, smiled proudly, and said in his heart, Tan Feng, you are a king and a lamb, what about the Japanese artillery, Lao Tzu killed Nozu Daoguan with one shot, haha You are still a step behind me after all!

Zhang Yihu led everyone to Nozu Michikan, saw that this general's uniform was not mistaken, and said with a smile: "Go, carry this kid's body, pick up his Japanese saber, let's ask the instructor for credit!" ”

The blue wolves took the corpse of Nozu Michikan and were about to retreat to Kaesong. A cloud of dust rose in the distance, and Feng Sheng'a rode a fast horse and led a team of personal guards to rush over.

Zhang Yihu stopped, and Feng Sheng'a came to Zhang Yihu in the blink of an eye.

Feng Sheng shouted: "Hey, which army are you and whose subordinates are you?" Did you see the fleeing Japanese troops? ”

Zhang Yihu looked up at Feng Sheng'a, pouted and said, "If you go back to your lordship, your subordinates are Nie Dashuai's subordinates, and Zhang Yihu of the blue wolf is." ”

Fengsheng Ah was shocked, he had already seen the corpse of Nozu Daoguan, although he didn't know if it was Nozu Daoguan, but that dazzling general uniform couldn't be fake, if it was other parts, I was afraid that Fengsheng Ah would have robbed it long ago by virtue of his identity as a banner man. Now as soon as he heard that it was a blue wolf, Feng Sheng's arrogance was a little shorter first, this is the descendant of Nie Shicheng's lineage, and Zhang Yi has established the absolute elite single-handedly.

Feng Sheng's face changed, and he said, "Commander Zhang, let's discuss, how about it?" ”
