Chapter 278: Phoenix
In the coastal mountains of eastern Liaodong, more than 400 new troops of the Korean reinforcement army trekked all the way over the mountains and mountains, although everyone was very tired, but everyone was full of high morale. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Among this batch of more than 400 new troops, there are 53 Xiucai alone, and most of the rest can read and write, and most of their families are well-off or above.
The reason why they participated in the Korean aid army is that almost all of them have a deep relationship with the book "The Scream", and they are determined to serve the country and the people, and work with He Changying to break this dull and suffocating 'iron house'.
And the remaining 100 or so people, all of whom are sturdy and dutiful men, joined the army for 19 years because of the lucrative salary of the Korean aid army and the 'tempting pie' of the fifty acres of land promised in the future.
Since joining the Korean Aid Army, although it has only been more than half a month, it has been generous treatment and first-class food.
The tense and united spirit of collectivism in the army, the loud military songs, and the profound and thought-provoking truths told in the book "The Scream".
These novelties, which they had never heard, seen, or thought about, had firmly attracted the hearts of everyone in the New Army.
Unconsciously, everyone began to slowly integrate into the big collective of the Korean aid army.
This time back to Liaodong, He Changying brought back all the soldiers of Seinfeld's four reconnaissance platoons, and asked them to draw maps and make measurements along the way, during which they also made a special trip to 30 miles of mountain roads and passed through Huayuankou Beach.
In this time and space, although He Changying did not dare to guarantee absolutely, but let him place a bet, he was still eighty percent sure that the second army of the Japanese army would land from Huayuankou.
In this way, the troops marched all the way, and finally arrived in Phoenix City on the afternoon of October 9, only one day later than Song Qing.
Phoenix City is located in the Yalu River, the Qing Dynasty town of Jiulian City northwest of a hundred miles, Yalu River tributaries Cao River and Erdao River in the southeast of the city confluence.
The city faces the river to the east, south and west, and the mountains to the north.
Moreover, the whole Phoenix City is surrounded by the mountains and mountains of Liaodong, and there is only a winding mountain path to the south that bypasses the foot of the Phoenix Mountain and extends to Jiulian City, which is hundreds of miles away.
As long as the gateway of Phoenix Mountain is dead, the military strength from the south will not be able to enter Phoenix City, even if he is a thousand troops.
The brigade of the reinforcement army had just walked to the west bridge of the Erdao River, and a group of Qing soldiers who were arguing on the opposite side were suddenly dumbfounded by the yellow-brown khakibusi-style military uniform of the reinforcement army.
Western-style military uniforms!
East Face!
Except for the wrong color of the military uniform, the rest of the points look like the legendary Japanese army.
"Could it be that the Japanese are coming!"
Several Qing soldiers looked at each other with pale faces, and each saw the fear in each other's eyes, and they were all suddenly shocked.
"The Uyi are coming, the Uyi are coming!"
These Qing soldiers shouted suddenly, and one by one they hated their father and mother for having two legs, and they pulled their legs towards Phoenix.
This terrible scream was particularly piercing in the silent dusk, and the Qing soldiers guarding the city gate in the distance stretched their necks to look at the west bank of the Erdao River, and then they all changed color and screamed, while hurriedly closing the city gate.
Immediately, the entire Phoenix City was in turmoil, and even sporadic gunshots rang out inside.
The North Korean reinforcement army standing on the west bank of the river looked stupid up and down, not to mention anything else, this oolong is too exaggerated, right?
"Frightened bird, rabbit guts!"
Seinfeld clasped his hands to his chest, a disdainful sneer on the corners of his mouth.
"Let's not say what kind of guts they are; The Qing army in Phoenix City was in a narrow position along the way outside the city, not to mention setting up checkpoints, and they didn't even put a guard post? ”
He Changying stood on the west bank of the Erdao River, looking at the six or seven Qing soldiers guarding the other side of the simple wooden bridge, and was running towards the city in a panic at this time, feeling really speechless.
Where is this soldier?
It's just a bunch of blind streams with guns, a bunch of waste snacks!
"Regiment commander, although these guys not only have bad eyes, but also have a mess of brains, but now that the Japanese army has not come, the nearby silkworms still dare to come here to attack the city? As soon as we appeared, it was really scary to think about! Huh-"
Li Yuanhong followed He Changying for a few days, and generally figured out the character of this 'and regiment commander' who had made great achievements, so he didn't hide anything in his heart like before, and said it directly.
"Strict military discipline, iron will, and accurate marksmanship are not something that can be achieved overnight and temporarily; It's just that it's strict on weekdays! You don't need me to tell you more about that, do I? ”
He Changying said seriously and confidently: "A strong army and a weak brigade, the big difference between them is here; For example, our reinforcement army and them! ”
Hearing He Changying's confident and slightly proud words, the soldiers of the Korean reinforcement army on the west bank of the bridge were all excited, and quietly puffed up their chests.
We are proud because we are the reinforcement of the DPRK!
At this time, in the glow of the sky, the Phoenix City Wall was full of Qing soldiers armed with rifles, and even some guys were still carrying guns in pairs.
It made He Changying feel as if time and space had suddenly regressed for decades, returning to the era when soldiers on both sides held shotguns and raised guns to shoot at each other in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In the middle of the city wall, a group of military attaches of the Qing Dynasty surrounded an old man wearing a first-class military general's robe, overlooking the Korean reinforcements on the other side of the river.
"The military gate, not the Japanese people."
Zhang Xiluan, who rushed over from Jiulian City a few days ago and was waiting for Song Qing, said affirmatively: "The Japanese are black military uniforms, and they have wings, and they can't fly here now." ”
"And who are they, bandits?"
Song Desheng next to him said that he wanted to laugh.
Bandits waving red flags and wearing Western-style new military uniforms, isn't this a storytelling!
"Some of them have crossed the bridge, don't act rashly, listen to what they have to say?"
Song Qing saw the two soldiers on the other side of the river, unarmed on the wooden bridge, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates not to act rashly, so as not to accidentally injure themselves and start a fight.
Song Qing, who was standing at the head of the city, saw that the other party was only about four or five hundred people on the riverbank, and his heart was actually completely relieved.
No matter how stupid they are, they won't come all the way to attack the city with four or five hundred people.
He's just still confused, what kind of immortal is this?
'The handmaiden on the mountain', this is just a joke, even if it is just from a distance, Song Qing knows that these four or five hundred sets of military uniforms are worth a lot of money, and he can't take them down at all without three or four thousand taels of silver.
Even if a bandit has money, it is impossible for him to have such a flamboyant boldness.
"Song Junmen, we are the reinforcement army, the 4th took a boat from Jinmen to land in Dalian Bay, and just arrived here today and asked to enter the city."
Wang Shizhen walked under the city wall, his palms were full of sweat, he was really afraid in his heart that which fool on the city wall was more panicked than the Qing army, so he shot himself over.
"You are Ye Junmen's orderly, I have seen you!"
Song Desheng, who was standing beside Song Qing, looked at Wang Shizhen, who was talking with a big face under the city wall, and asked in surprise: "Why did you run into the Korean army." ”
Speaking of this, the Beiyang generals standing on the city wall were relieved.
It turned out to be my own people!
Immediately, everyone's hearts suddenly darkened.
Ye Zhichao, Wei Rugui, Song Qing, Ding Ruchang, these people are all a group of top beams in the Beiyang system.
Now that Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui's fate is there, everyone can't help but have a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
