In the early morning of the next day, the reinforcement army, the Renzi army, and the officials of Andong County entered the county seat of Andong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Okuyama Yoshisho, who was lucky enough to escape back to the other side, while fortifying on the shore, fearing that the elusive and neurotic reinforcements of the Korean army, would have a nervous attack across the river, and at the same time sent Captain Inoue Masatsugu to rush to Yiju to ask for guilt and report the situation of the war.

He Changying, Jiang Zikang, Song Xi, a group of generals and officials of the Qing Dynasty came to the riverside.

Looking at the corpses of the Japanese army and a large number of prisoners all over the ground, Jiang Zikang, Pan Jinshan, Yin Desheng, Song Xi, the generals of the Renzi Army and the officials of Andong County all smiled on their faces.

Last night's great victory, compared with the poor performance of the Sheng army, how could the imperial court not vigorously reward it?

And what is even happier is that the 6,000 troops of the Sheng army fled without a trace, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Feng army did not say goodbye, and the upstream defense line was completely collapsed.

In this way, everyone is full of reasons, and they can retreat leisurely and leisurely towards the deep mountains and old forests in the rear of the Northeast.

Now that the cold winter is approaching, it is estimated that it will not be long before the snow will close the mountain, this one is half a year, and I don't know what will happen next year.

"Wing Commander, now the entire Yalu River defense line, with our little strength, we have to retreat quickly; Not to mention the hundreds of miles of Japanese soldiers at the entrance of the garden, the Japanese soldiers in the upper reaches are only seventy or eighty miles away from here, and maybe the army will besiege the city at any moment! ”

Pan Jinshan's face was panicked when he heard Jiang Zikang's words, and he turned his head hesitantly and asked He Changying: "What do you think?" ”

"If nothing else, the Japanese army will move west today;"

He Changying's words made everyone change color, and he continued: "However, their first task is to stabilize the defense line of Hushan Jiulian City, and there are seven or eight thousand banner soldiers in the upper reaches to threaten, and there will be no main force of the brigade coming over for a while; Lin Yunyu, your battalion has established a defensive line in Langtou Town, and the early warning force extends to the northeast for 20 miles, and reports the situation at any time. ”

"Yes!"

Lin Yunyu gave a neat military salute and strode away.

"Aunt He, Aunt He,-"

At this time, from the group of captives, there was a shout of surprise: "I am the old beard, I am the old beard." ”

Everyone looked at the white-bearded old man squatting in the pile of prisoners in surprise, and looked back at He Changying in disbelief.

Since this old man speaks Chinese, and at such an age, it is obviously the same as last night.

How did He Changying get involved with the mountain bandits in Tongri, and he also called him 'uncle'.

"Isn't this the second master of Hushanzhai; You don't stay in Hushanzhai well, why did you run to Andong City and set fire? ”

He Changying walked over with a smile: "Don't say that you got lost and strayed into Andong County." ”

"Wronged, uncle, we really didn't set the fire, it was all set by Sheng Jun himself; Our heroes of Hushanzhai and Tiejiashan have been brothers in a pot for many years, and this time I was ordered by the big boss to recruit the heroes of Tiejiashan to join our reinforcement army, who knew that they would be blocked in the city. ”

Shinji Matsui said with a look of grievance.

"Yes, Master Jun, we are all here to go down the mountain to join the Korean army, wronged!"

A group of mountain bandits, including 'Mallet Potian', shouted their grievances, while the Japanese soldiers who disguised themselves as mountain bandits kept their heads down and kept silent, for fear of revealing their identities.

The Renzi Army next to him, the generals and officials of Andong County, all looked silently, and their eyes were full of different expressions.

And several senior generals of the Korean reinforcement army all had a faint wordless sneer on their faces.

"Your boss is dead;"

Although He Changying's words were not loud, he was suddenly stunned by the group of crying mountain bandits.

He Changying took the rifle from Lu Zhaomei, who was standing on the side, pulled the bolt with a 'click', and then shot the bullet into Matsui's chest with a 'bang'.

"Ahh

Shinji Matsui screamed and clutched his chest, looking incredulous and unwilling.

In Matsui Shinji's frightened gaze, He Changying said with a smile: "That's it, I also killed him." ”

"You, you-"

Matsui Shinji said 'you' twice, and suddenly died of anger.

He Changying returned the rifle to Lu Zhaomei, looked back at Anzhou City, and said with a smile: "Enter the city!" ”

After the Korean reinforcements entered Andong County, He Changying, Jiang Zikang, and Song Xi jointly reported to the Governor of Jinmen, Yamen, to clarify the war situation.

In the telegram, He Changying asked to lead the army back to Dalian Bay for repairs, and gave four reasons.

After several fierce battles, the First Korean Army had suffered serious attrition and needed to go to Dalian Bay to reorganize the recruits stationed there.

The second reason is that the equipment purchased by the Korean reinforcement army has arrived in Jinmen and needs to be transported to Port Arthur to receive it and be reloaded.

The third is to predict that the ultimate target of the Japanese troops landing at Huayuankou will be Lushun, and the Lushun military port is the Bohai Bay, the barrier gateway of Tianjin and Beijing, and there is no room for error.

Fourth, the soldiers who died in the Korean reinforcement army, the seriously wounded, and more than 200 Japanese prisoners needed to be transported to Jinmen.

Jiang Zikang did not approve of He Changying's insistence from the bottom of his heart, and if he followed his wishes, he would directly pull the troops to the Xiuyan area in the north to fortify.

Because the mountains around Xiuyan are steep, the forests are dense, and the back is Yingkou and Haicheng, if the Japanese army is strong, the troops can retreat calmly.

Unlike the Lushun side, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and accidentally traps the troops to death.

However, Jiang Zikang has an easy-going temperament, and he has a great tolerance for He Changying, seeing He Changying's insistence on going to Jinzhou, Jiang Zikang had no choice but to give in.

After sending a telegram to the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, He Changying sent several telegrams privately.

Then the entire reinforcement army immediately took action, began to dismantle the cannons in Andong City, the Green Cannon, and a large number of shells and bullets that the Sheng army in the arsenal did not dare to set fire, and went out of the city first, moving along the post road in the direction of Dagu Mountain.

The nearly 100,000 catties of military rations left by the Sheng army were also swept away by the Korean reinforcements.

After the Battle of Asan and Pyongyang, the Renzi Army was dug up by He Changying and poached away more than 300 soldiers who really 'dared to fight', and now there are only more than 500 veterans in the fourth battalion.

And the middle and senior generals of the Renzi Army along the Yalu River, except for Jiang Zikang himself, were left to attack Pan Jinshan.

The two of them led a battalion each, and 500 veterans accounted for seventy percent of the two battalions.

The remaining 30 percent of the 160 veterans were divided equally between the remaining two battalions.

The first battalion was led by Jiang Zikang's henchman, his original commander of the thousand sentry commanders of the pro-army team, and his nephew Jiang Muchen.

The other battalion was led by Yin Desheng, the former artillery officer and garrison rank.

Because many of the generals in the Korean Aid Army are from the Renzi Army, not to mention that He Changying himself is a former sentinel of the Renzi Army, so they get along with each other very well, and the only thing is that Pan Jinshan always has a face of anger.

When the reinforcement army was recovering the county town of Andong, the westward detachment of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army had just marched to the Toudao Bridge when they saw a group of imperial cavalry rushing up downstream on the opposite bank.
