At three o'clock in the afternoon, the reconnaissance platoon entered Anzhou City, and then the entire Anzhou City began to move rapidly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first infantry battalion, the field hospital and all the wounded, the left-behind team of the logistics department and more than 30 horse-drawn carriages full of supplies, the Korean army of Min Bing-seok and the Korean army of Min Bing-seok rushed out of the north gate of Anju City in order and began to cross the Daqing River.

Then he didn't stop for a moment, continued to the north, and planned to camp in Bozhou City.

After sending the last telegram to Yiju, Dalian, Lushun, Jinmen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Surabaya, Singapore, and other major cities in the country and various places in Nanyang, the regiment began to completely destroy the telegraph line in Anzhou.

The regiment's engineering squadron stayed on the south bank of the Daqing River crossing bridge and stood by, and after the reinforcement army retreated, they would pull all the stones into the river with horses to destroy the bridge.

The cavalry battalion all went out of the south gate of Anzhou City, and established a defensive line in the south to guard against the enemy from the south.

The second and third battalions of infantry moved to the post road Sanyin, three miles southwest of Anzhou City, and assembled in ambush.

The reconnaissance company was still shuttling back and forth between Anzhou and the vanguard cavalry of the Japanese army, constantly reporting the latest position of the Japanese cavalry.

As soon as the Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry came to the outside of Suzhou City, they saw two Qing cavalry troops appear on the hillside on the hillside one mile away, and then turned their horses' heads and headed north.

"These Qing troops are really arrogant!"

The captain of the first squadron of the 5th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Captain Tetsushiro Taga, was so angry that his face was bloody, but he was helpless.

Since the cavalry passed through Shun'anyi, every move of the Fifth Brigade has been completely under the blatant surveillance of the Qing army.

Along the way, the cavalry of the Qing army constantly appeared in front of them, and then marched north.

At the beginning, the captain of the 5th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Kimura Shigeshosa, was immediately furious and ordered the cavalry squad to go over and pursue.

However, these Qing troops rode sturdy and tall Hetao horses, especially the short-range and powerful explosive power, which was far from being comparable to the Japanese army's bantam horses.

Not only did they return in vain every time, but they also had to be molested by those hateful Qing troops.

After doing this several times in a row, the soldiers of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade were all holding back the evil fire in their stomachs, and they all screamed and cursed, and began to desperately urge the war horses under their crotches.

So when they arrived in Suzhou City, all the horses of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade had begun to show signs of losing their strength under the best efforts of the soldiers.

Two of the horses even had a void on the flat road, and one of them broke the horse's leg directly, smashing the cavalry on the horse until he vomited blood.

At this time, Kimura Shigeshaozo saw unexpectedly that on the hillside not far away, two Qing cavalry figures naturally appeared.

At this time, looking at the bloody remnant sun that was gradually setting in the western sky, Kimura Shige suddenly shivered heavily all over his body.

If the cavalry brigade continued to rush to Anzhou with all its strength at this time, and suddenly faced an ambush by two or three thousand troops of the Qing army under the lack of people and horses, what would happen?

No matter how brave and excellent the imperial cavalry is, it is impossible to stop this kind of attack like Mount Tai with absolute superiority!

"The whole army entered Suzhou City, closed the city gate to establish defenses, and waited for the arrival of the headquarters."

Kimura Shige, who was suddenly alert, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he looked at the two Qing soldiers on the hillside who deliberately showed their figures, and decisively gave the order to enter the city to repair.

"Captain, let's not go to Anzhou City, what if those hateful Qing Pigs take the opportunity to run away?"

Hearing that Kimura Shige's sudden order to enter the castle instead of following Major General Tachimi's previous order to go all out to Anshu Castle, Tetsushiro Taga asked unwillingly.

"Don't forget the tragedy of the three major teams and one squadron in Shun'an Station!"

Kimura said in a cold sweat on his back: "If you want to destroy the enemy, you must first recognize yourself and be a beast hunter, not a tiger; The distance between the cavalry brigade and the team should not exceed half an hour, otherwise it will be in a hurry to die! ”

"Report, see the general's command;"

At this time, a group of cavalry horses rushed from the south, and a Japanese soldier Cao jumped off his horse and loudly conveyed the instructions of Lijian Shangwen: "The cavalry brigade should pay attention to maintaining physical strength and be careful of the surprise attack of the Qing army; In addition, the team should maintain an appropriate distance from the team and not stand out too much. ”

On the city wall of Anzhou, He Changying and a group of officers of the Korean Aid Army looked at the darkening sky.

Everyone's hearts are very disappointed.

They had just received the latest information from the south, and the Japanese cavalry brigade had entered the city of Suzhou for repairs.

Shen Zhaoao said with a disappointed face: "These Japanese soldiers are really getting more and more ghosts now. ”

"Come on, don't sigh, you think it's as easy as killing a pig? Let's kill one head at a time. ”

He Changying was actually very disappointed in his heart, if he didn't want to 'kill pigs', he would order the reconnaissance company to monitor the Japanese cavalry all the way, and pull two battalions of infantry to the southwest Shanyin to lurk.

Directly ordered the whole army to evacuate Anzhou City, and soon it was over?

"Since there is no play, then the whole army retreats."

He Changying took a deep look at the mountains and land in the south of North Korea, and secretly swore in his heart,—— Master will lead the army back one day!"

Little devils, let you be proud for two days, you all wash your necks, and wait!

Jinmen, the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, the inner house.

When the sun was setting in Anzhou City and the sky was full of sunshine, the Jinmen of the Great Qing Kingdom was already dark and full of stars.

Li Hongzhang is an old man in his early seventies, and the cooler weather at this time is no longer suitable for him to recuperate in the courtyard, so everyone in the family who can talk about things stays in the brightly lit room and talks.

Since Li Hongzhang reluctantly accepted Lafayette's persuasion and once again raised the banner of commander-in-chief of the Qing-Japanese war, he immediately busily mobilized troops.

However, before that, there were two unresolved issues that had not been properly addressed.

One is about the defensive construction of the Yalu River defense line.

Guangxu and the main battle faction in the imperial court were all clamoring for Yizhou as the core and the east and west banks of the Yalu River as the two wings to deploy troops.

Li Hongzhang and the Beiyang generals were inclined to abandon Yizhou, which was isolated on the south bank of the Yalu River, and the whole army retreated to China to establish a defensive line on the north bank of the Yalu River.

For this issue, the two sides have different opinions, each has its own rhetoric, and they both think that what they said is simply too TM reasonable, why can't the other party's pig head understand?

Anyway, no one can convince anyone, and it is still stalemate there.

Ye Zhichao, who was so anxious that he was in Yizhou, sent several telegrams a day urging him to immediately lead the team to evacuate the dangerous place.

Another issue is about the rewards and punishments of generals after the war.

In order not to make a joke about the defeat and escapees after the Battle of Toshima, who were slapped by the imperial court, Li Hongzhang has always suppressed the rewards and punishments for all the water and land personnel.

Instead, let's sort out the details of the Battle of Pyongyang and the Battle of Daedonggou.

After a week, all kinds of summarized news came to Li Hongzhang's hands, and after the two big battles, he finally saw the seven, seven, eight, and eight inside.

"The first responsibility for Pyongyang's affairs lies with Ye Zhichao, he should not have sent too many troops to Suzhou, Anzhou, and Dingzhou; When the war began, the defenders of the huge Pyongyang were less than 10,000 people, otherwise Zuo's precious Jingyan Mountain and Peony Terrace would not have been lost so quickly. ”

As the son-in-law of the governor Yamen Li Hongzhang and the number one dog-legged military division, after reading the information summarized, Zhang Peilun spoke first.
