Chapter 615: The sunset, the remnant sun is like blood

"Good tea!"

After drinking a cup of Pu'er, he felt the heat flowing away in his body, and he couldn't help but praise loudly.

Just with this hot tea, the three Qing troops on the opposite side had already retreated, and they were chased by various Japanese troops in the fields.

"You have a drink too,β€”β€” and you, you, you."

Lijian Shang has always been proud, even to the commander of the First Army, Yama Prefecture Aritomo dared to call him by his name, at this time he was satisfied with the battle situation in his heart, so he rarely pointed to Lin Taro, Fukushima Yasumasa, and several staff officers to drink tea together.

Soon, a Japanese military flag was erected on the wall of Yongping Mansion, and the pursuit in the field also came to an end.

As the gunfire stopped here, Lijian Shang realized that he didn't know when the gunfire in the direction of Shanhaiguan in the north had completely stopped.

"Could it be that the mountain has broken the barrier?"

Li Jianshang hesitated slightly, and then said proudly: "Of course they should break the level!" You must know that just one wing of our first brigade has helped the main force attract seven or eight thousand troops, and if they have the remaining 20,000 troops, if they can't break through the barrier so quickly, they can all jump into the river and commit suicide! ”

"Report to the commander, I have captured a few senior officers of the Qing army, and the captain has asked the commander for instructions."

A Japanese captain officer rode a fast horse and ran to report to Tachimi Shang.

"Hate it, kill it!"

Li Jian Shang frowned and shouted, "Yaga, does this matter need to be repeated again?" For all the Qing troops killed! This is a deterrent, only by killing the emperor officials of the Qing Dynasty will they honestly prostrate in front of the empire and surrender and admit defeat! ”

"Hey!"

The captain responded loudly, then jumped on his horse and ran towards the city of Yongping Mansion.

At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the sunset is still cold and windy, and the sky is full of residual sun like blood.

From the Nine Gates to Shimen Village, from Shanhaiguan to Yongping Mansion, this battle has gradually stopped.

At this time, in this vast land of Huaxia Mountains, mountains and fields, there were lying the cold corpses of Huaxia men and the coagulated blood.

"Whew, whewβ€”"

The east wind sweeps the wilderness, blowing the withered grass in the mountains and forests, like crying and complaining.

More than Xiangchu training army, near Fengzi army, thunder army, Jiesheng battalion, Shanhaiguan Eight Banners defenders, battalion nearly Qianming army horse team, Lu Yong.

The Qing army, in just one day, turned into clouds of smoke and blood.

The Shanhaiguan Military Depot in Yongping Province provided a large amount of military rations and warm clothing for the First Army of the Japanese Army.

At this point, the north gate of Jinjing has been completely opened by the first army of the Japanese army.

Outside the gates, the north wing of the city.

Under the setting sun, He Changying and a group of officers and generals stood on the east wall of the north wing of the city, watching the Japanese army in the north, which was continuously passing through a gap in the Great Wall two miles to the east, transporting artillery and various military materials into the customs.

The Third Brigade of Yamaguchi Suchen, with more than 5,000 troops, is relying on the main city of Shanhaiguan and began to build fortifications to surround the three cities outside the pass to prevent the attack of the three cities army.

"They actually followed our example and started to build a large number of horse rejection piles."

Li Jingfang was speechless.

"The Japanese soldiers actually planned to besiege the city, instead of concentrating tens of thousands of troops to attack the city;" He Minggao, the chief soldier, looked surprised, "Do they want to trap us all the time?" What is the vice-commander, do we have enough food? ”

"It's not a problem to eat for two months; It's not that Shan County Youpeng is not sure to take the Three Cities, it's not that he doesn't want to destroy us, but he doesn't have time at all, and he can't afford the serious consequences of losing a lot in the Three Cities; Therefore, he first blocked us with heavy troops, and waited until he freed up his hands later, and then solved it. ”

Through the fact that the Japanese army secretly cut their telegraph lines, and the British minister from Yanjing offered to mediate the Qing-Japanese war.

He Changying guessed that because of the British 'mediation', Yama Prefecture Youpeng and Hiroshima Base Camp might have had a dispute over the war plan against the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Yama County Youpeng's desperate adventure must at least encircle Yanjing and create a fait accompli before the new orders of the Japanese army base camp are conveyed to the First Army.

From Shanhaiguan to Yanjing, the straight-line distance is more than 800 miles, and the Japanese infantry with military artillery has to spend more than ten days just to hurry.

Not to mention the Dong Fuxiang Department in Jizhou, the Cheng Bing Department in Tongzhou, Li Zhanchun in Langfang, and the Ding Huai Department, the 30,000 troops blocked.

In He Changying's time and space, because the Lushun Massacre shocked Western countries, the Hiroshima base camp was more secure for war, and ordered the First Army of Yama Prefecture Youpeng to gather along the Yalu River and wait until the spring of the following year to attack north.

As a result, Youpeng in Shanxian insisted on forcibly ordering the troops to go north and attack Dagushan, Xiuyan, and Haicheng; Emperor Meiji had to use his illness as an excuse to bring Yamaprefecture Aritomo back to the East, and ordered Nozu Michikani to take over as commander of the First Army.

The situation at Shanhaiguan this time, including the arrival of Prince Akihito Komatsumiya to form the 'Zhengqing Grand Governor's Palace', is just a copy of the original incident.

It's just that the location has changed from Jiulian City to Shanhaiguan, and the time has been pushed back by a month and a half, and the recall of 'recuperation' has become a disguised seizure of military power.

"They are in a hurry, what time? Yawn –

Liu Kun on the side said that he didn't understand, and yawned for a long time, and asked He Changying without giving up: "You don't have a little cigarette bubble here?" ”

After the previous confrontation, He Changying and Liu Kunyi finally reluctantly reached an agreement.

Liu Kunyi is nominally the presidential leader of the entire three cities, while He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng and the foreigner staff officers are responsible for the specific defense of the city.

"The Governor, there really isn't any; You will take this opportunity to quit smoking, and if we can live, we will be a new life. ”

He Changying seemed to be 'happy' with a smile.

"If the city is broken and died, won't the old man have to suffer a lot of torture before he dies!"

Liu Kunyi, who was addicted to smoking, was so angry that he forgot all the questions just now.

"Look, what are the Uyi hanging in the castle tower?"

Yi Shunding's eyes on the side had been looking nervously around, and at this time, looking at the Shanhaiguan City Tower in the south, his pupils suddenly widened, and he screamed.

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look, only to see a piece of corpse hanging on the city wall by the Japanese army.

Liu Kun lifted the telescope that He Changying handed over, his body quickly trembled, and he roared with hatred: "These beasts are so vicious!" ”

"Whew-"

The east wind swept through everyone, like a cold knife cutting face, making people's hearts as cold as ice.

"Everyone, hold on! Once the city is broken, it's time to hang the corpses of you and me on it! ”

He Changying's words made all the generals on the city wall shudder heavily, and their faces became extremely white.

"Lu Dongjun is climbing the city, where do they want to go?"

Xia Qingyun looked shocked.

"Go to the Nine Gates; From Jiaoshan Mountain to Changshou Mountain, Wanshou Mountain, and the three battalions of the defenders of the Ludong Army are guarded in sections, and only by going to the Nine Gates can the troops be regathered all the way; However, they couldn't go through it for four or five days, and Yanjing couldn't catch up; - The army of 3,000 did not fire a single shot! And these 3,000 troops were wasted in vain! ”

He Changying glanced at the Ludong Army on the Great Wall of the Mountains marching in the sunset, and no longer looked at them.

Whether it is for the defense of Yanjing or the attack and defense of the three cities here, there should be nothing to do with the three thousand Ludong Army.

The Great Wall of Horn Mountain.

"Brothers, hurry up! Go up to the top of the mountain and go down to Liandao Bay, and when we arrive at the camp of the Left Army, we can all rest, eat and drink hot soup! ”

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the third battalion of Ludong Army was climbing the snow-covered Great Wall, slipping in three steps, and from time to time some soldiers fell, breaking their teeth and bleeding from their noses.

Wang Liansan, Zhou Bofang, Chen Weilie, and a group of generals of the Ludong Army were all shouting loudly and cheering.

It is only a straight-line distance of more than twenty miles from Jiaoshan to Jiumen, but the winding and coiled Great Wall stretches the curved distance to sixty or seventy miles.

And the road is not a towering peak, or a deep valley, plus the hard snow is paved with steep city roads, it is simply difficult to walk step by step.
