Chapter 212: Disguise

On the VIP viewing platform on the right side of the Tianan Tower, ministers from Western countries sat in specially built color booths to watch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Although the Qing army achieved a small victory, I later heard that tens of thousands of troops were raided by hundreds of Japanese troops, killing more than 300 people, capturing more than 100 people, and even a second-rank commander general was killed."

The British minister, Ogna, said with a smile in a voice that could be heard by all the ministers around him: "Now that the Japanese army is surrounding Pyongyang, I don't know who wins and who loses; At this time, it seems too hasty to sacrifice prisoners. ”

"Not to mention being hasty, His Excellency Li De, the consul of our country's Tianjin Gate, has already advised Li Hongzhang, saying that this move is very likely to arouse the anger of the Japanese side and make the peace talks in a difficult situation.

The American minister, Tian Bei, said with a tone that everyone could hear:

"Our country has always advocated an open door and shared interests, but the Lee dynasty of North Korea has always closed itself off from the country, treating the advanced civilization we brought with us like a flood of beasts; I am looking forward to the possibility of a future dominated by the East, and the Korean Peninsula. ”

The ministers of Germany and France, like the ministers of Sweden, the Netherlands, and other countries, seem to be ready to be a soy sauce presence today.

They were all talking about what reward they would receive from the generous Qing Emperor after the prisoner sacrifice was over, and where they would go to have a feast and eat Chinese food.

Otherwise, who would be interested in sitting here.

"This is a flagrant violation of international conventions, aggression, shameless aggression!"

Russian Minister Cassiny shouted angrily: "We, the Russian Empire, will absolutely not allow such banditry to appear in Northeast Asia with impunity!" ”

The ministers of all the countries frowned slightly, and they were all tired of this country of barbarians who hovered in the north of Europe and had been eyeing the European continent.

"But as far as I know, Baron Lev, assistant to your country's ambassador in Korea, praised the behavior of the Oriental troops in public, saying that the Russian Empire would be happy to see this situation."

The United States and Tsarist Russia are far apart, separated by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, with only an enclave of Alaska and Tsarist Siberia across the Bering Strait.

So Tian Bei felt that he didn't need to endure the itching of his hands like the European ministers did without slapping the fat face of this polar bear.

"What he says doesn't count, it's just personal ignorance!"

Sure enough, Cassini was so angry that his nose was red from rosacea, and his beard trembled.

He couldn't explain that with the current Emperor Alexander III seriously ill, the domestic and foreign policy was in chaos for a while, so there was the current heresy of Lev.

Otherwise, he would have been driven back to Petersburg a long time ago, how could he still be embarrassed in North Korea?

Anju City.

When Feng Jun finished receiving the supplies and left, Lin Yunyu nodded to Li Zhenhua beside him and signaled that he could start.

He can still withstand this wave, but if Ye Zhichao rushes over with many generals to settle accounts after a while, and even directly calls the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, this matter is really difficult to do.

Once this shot kills and injures someone, although Lin Yunyu doesn't care about his personal gains and losses, the negative impact on the battalion commander will definitely be not small in the long run.

Bossy.

That's the slightest evaluation, right?

"Try not to die, otherwise it will easily arouse the alarm of the old witch in the Forbidden City."

This is what Shen Zhaoao secretly said to him when Shun'an Yi divided his troops.

How could Lin Yunyu not understand the truth in this, otherwise why would the battalion commander risk going to Pyongyang to look for fighters, isn't it just to find an excuse not to be in Anzhou City and not fall into the mouth of someone with a heart?

If the reinforcement army was not stationed in Anzhou in advance, it would not be able to absorb the Qing troops that retreated in the future.

However, if you settle in advance, the supplies of the Korean army will have to face the peep of Ye Zhichao, who is as cowardly as a mouse.

This is the battalion commander's trust in himself, and it is also a test and responsibility for himself!

After receiving Lin Yunyu's order, Li Zhenhua nodded lightly and quietly, picked up the red flag planted in the front camp and walked towards the city wall.

Soon, a bright red flag fluttered in the wind in the northwest corner of Anzhou City.

"The red flag is up, go, tell the deputy company commander to go."

On a small hillside about two miles away from Anzhou City, two cavalrymen of the Korean Aid Army wearing Japanese military uniforms were lying there, looking at the Anzhou City Wall in the northwest direction, and saw an eye-catching flag of the Korean Aid Army rising on the city wall, so they hurriedly retreated down the hillside and ran backwards.

Soon, a column of more than 50 Japanese cavalry appeared on the hillside of this line.

"Lined up in two impact lines, no one is allowed to speak out loud; If you fight back, you will be killed! ”

Duan Xiongbo, the deputy company commander of the first cavalry company, was pale and frightening at this time, and he felt that his heart was trembling.

Once leaked out, this is a crime of killing the head!

He drove his horse out of the caravan, turned his horse's head and looked at the soldiers in the carapace, the soldiers were excited and frightened, but it was good that he did not see the retreat.

"Your, in Japanese, do you understand?"

Duan Xiongbo was a little worried about the only living captive of Shun'an Station, and Nishida Jiroku ordered.

"Hi, hi!"

Although Xi Tianzhiliu couldn't understand what this Qing general was saying, in Shun'an Station, a general who could speak Japanese explained to him and promised not to kill him in the future.

Xi Tianzhi Liu was also skeptical, but what could he do now?

"Down the mountain!"

With Duan Xiongbo's hoarse voice commanding, the horse team began to trot down the hill, shooting indiscriminately into the sky.

"The Uyi are coming, the Uyi are coming!"

The Pyongyang routs, who were entering the city one after another outside the city, were all frightened and rushed towards the city gate one after another.

And those routs far away from the city gate all hid in the nearby mountains and forests in an uproar.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

The Qing soldiers on the city wall were densely packed, looking at this group of only forty or fifty Japanese cavalry troops, showing off their might and crisscrossing outside the city, everyone's heart was pinched.

Could it be that Suzhou has been lost?

Or besieged by the Japanese army!

"Bang, bang, bang—"

The Japanese cavalry in the southwest of the city fired their guns all the way, marched to a distance of 300 meters from Anzhou City, and stopped, and confronted the Qing army on the city wall.

Soon, a Japanese soldier jumped off his horse and walked towards the city of Anzhou.

"What does this guy want to do?"

The soldiers on the city wall of Anzhou all clenched their rifles and looked nervously at the Japanese soldiers who were gradually approaching and chattering all the way.

Xi Tianzhi's heart trembled, sweating profusely, holding a Japanese letter written in advance by a Qing army officer who knew Japanese, and dismounted and walked towards Anzhou City.

shouted back and forth in Japanese: "Don't shoot, I'm dripping, I'm delivering letters and dripping!" Don't shoot, I'm dripping, it's sending letters to work! ――”

"The Japanese army is going to send a letter, don't shoot."

Min Yongjun, who retreated to Anzhou City with the army, shouted loudly: "The two countries exchange troops, and they will not be killed; See what they wrote? ”

"What kind of Japanese cavalry is coming!"

Ye Zhichao, who was leading a pair of personal soldiers and a group of general soldiers to settle accounts with a group of general soldiers, suddenly heard a chaotic gun outside the city, and his heart jumped and stopped.

Following behind Ye Zhichao, Ye Shipeng, who had a smug face, also changed his face, and he trembled with fright.

Oh my God, did the Japanese soldiers chase after me so quickly?

This still doesn't let people live!

"Newspaper—"

A soldier ran down from the tower in a panic and said breathlessly: "At the military gate, a team of Japanese cavalry appeared outside the city. ”

Wei Rugui asked angrily, "How many people?" ”

"There are more than fifty riders, ah-"

As soon as he heard that there were only about fifty Japanese soldiers, Wei Rugui kicked this soldier to the ground with a kick in anger, and shouted: "Paralysis, even this person dares to come over and be rampant?" Lu Benyuan, send a battalion of cavalry over to pay them! ”
