"Go up to the south city wall and the north city wall, and flank them left and right!"

Seeing He Changying's reinforcements arrive, Xu Bangdao was suddenly full of courage, roared and led a group of Qing troops, anti-Japanese army, and rushed towards the wall ladder at the north city wall. 56 Library's new website:

"Knock these pigs down!"

Tanida Fumiei twisted his face and yelled.

"Bang bang—"

Suddenly, the entire city of Cilo was filled with gunfire, like a storm.

"Kill the Woyi!"

As soon as the anti-Japanese army entered the city, Nie Shicheng led more than 50 personal soldiers and rushed in on fast horses.

Behind him, the Qing army, which was as red as a sea of flowers, rushed out of Shanhaiguan and rushed towards the East and West Luo City.

"All the guns, don't go into the city, give me a detour to the west city to bombard!"

Tang Renlian looked at the dead east and west gate of Luocheng blocked by the Qing army that stormed into the city, and shouted loudly: "The Lu army will carry their guns to Dongluo City!" ”

"Rush!"

At the same time, the Sheng Army, the Renzi Army, and the Luyu Defense Army in Dongluo City, under the leadership of Jia Qisheng and Nie Qingyun, were struggling to seize the East City Wall with the Japanese army.

The anti-Japanese army, which suddenly joined, suddenly stabilized the morale of the army, which had already moved slightly, and began to launch a brave counteroffensive.

The Sheng Army, the Renzi Army, and the Luyu Defense Army are worthy of being Li Hongzhang's elite soldiers who are stable and straight, guarding the old nest, and their combat quality is much higher than that of the group of recruits newly recruited by Xu Bangdao.

and the joint forces of Cao Yitao, the second battalion of the anti-Japanese army, soon suppressed the Japanese army on the east city wall and retreated.

"Long Shore, go blow up their north gate!"

The three captains of the 16th Wing of the Japanese Army, Ishihara Yingheng Shaozo, who commanded under the city of Dongluo, saw that the imperial soldiers on the city wall were retreating step by step by the blockade and compression, so he ordered the sappers around him to blow up the city gate.

In his opinion, as soon as the city gate was broken and thousands of imperial soldiers swarmed in, the Qing army would be defeated.

And even if the Qing army was desperate to block the attack, not counting artillery and baggage, the empire still had two infantry brigades, a cavalry brigade, a brigade guard squadron, and three squadrons of guards.

In total, almost 4000 troops.

As long as you can capture some of the cities, then as soon as the reinforcements arrive, this Cilo city will belong to the empire.

"Hey!"

Kishihisa Jira, the leader of the Japanese engineer squad who accompanied the army, shouted: "The sappers carry explosives bags and run to the north city!" ”

"Haha, it's finally here, these grandsons!"

At the southeast corner of the North Wing City, Liu Shuyi, the platoon leader of the Green Artillery Platoon, who was waiting anxiously, saw a group of Japanese soldiers suddenly leave the east wall of Dongluo City and run towards the north gate of Dongluo City.

And there were four or five Japanese soldiers in it, and they were also carrying bags of explosives.

Liu Shuyi rubbed his hands excitedly and shouted: "Brothers, the pork sent to the door is here!" ”

"Kill the pig!"

The soldiers of the artillery crew were also excited.

Watching the Japanese sappers gradually approaching the city gate, Liu Shuyi took a long breath of the cold air of winter, and fixed the Green Cannon with both hands, his face full of perseverance.

"Da Da Da-"

With a crisp machine gun explosion, the Green Cannon in Liu Shuyi's hand shot out a long tongue of fire, and a streamer-like chain of bullets shot towards the root of the north wall of the 300-meter Dongluo City.

"Yo Xi, these stupid pigs!"

Under the quiet northern walls of Dongluo Castle, Kishihisa Jiro took the lead in running.

Seeing the empty North City Gate less than thirty meters in front of him, and listening to the monstrous roars and gunshots in the city, Kishihisa Jiro was so excited that his face was bloody.

Blow it up in one fell swoop, and then the Imperial army swarms—

Kishihisa Jiro suddenly felt a heavy pain in his heart, and the pain made his whole body convulse.

"Ahh

Behind him, his soldiers let out a terrified roar.

What's going on?

Kishihisa Jiro looked hard at his chest and abdomen, and saw that the blood of 'goo' was gushing from his chest.

Then, boundless darkness, overwhelmed him.

"Boom!"

The Japanese Yaoshanpo artillery squadron, after seven rounds of bombardment, finally hit the tower of the northern wing of the city.

Collapsed with a bang.

However, seeing this scene, whether it was Yao Shanpo, Nanshuijing, or Huazipo, there was not a trace of laughter.

"Stop the bombardment."

In the binoculars, Kondo Shinroku saw the Imperial soldiers who had been re-grounded and the Qing soldiers who were carrying guns and shooting at the Imperial infantry outside the city, and knew that the attack had been a complete failure.

In this case, the tower of the northern wing of the city was blown up according to the order, and there was no need for this shelling to continue.

Sakurai Kuzaburo, who is really standing in Hanakopo artillery, is also iron-blue.

At this time, it was visually observed that there were definitely no less than 10,000 Qing troops in the three cities outside the Guan, and they were all extremely fierce fighting methods.

After the imperial soldiers in Dongluo City had to withdraw from the city wall, the Qing troops swarming on the city wall also began to remove the city wall in large numbers, obviously remembering the lesson of the grenade bomb not long ago and becoming smarter.

Sakurai Kuzaburo looked at the Yamada Tadazaburo Division, which was deployed around Hanakopo, the two cavalry squadrons deployed around Madian, the brigade infantry guard squadron and the 1st Cavalry Squadron deployed and controlled in Nanshuii, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 4th Wing stationed in Madian Nishisanri.

There were also three infantry squadrons remaining in the positions of the former 16th Wing.

Sakurai Kuzaburo couldn't understand why General Yamaguchi didn't launch a general attack, take the East and West Luo Castle in one fell swoop, and even occupy the Shanhai Pass in one go.

It's just that it's too late!

South Water Well.

Yamaguchi Suchen and a group of staff officers looked in the direction of Shanhaiguan with gloomy faces.

There, the battle for the city of East and West was still stalemate, but the Imperial soldiers had been completely driven off the walls.

Fukushima Yongzhi has already divided half of his forces to reinforce the East and West Luo Cities, and the remaining brigade is still shooting at the Qing army at the head of the northern flank.

In the north city of the North Wing City, after the bombardment of high-explosive shells stopped, a large number of Qing troops in Western-style military uniforms and old-fashioned military uniforms rushed up on the city wall.

"Order all detachments, immediately retreat!"

Fukushima Yongzhi said that it was extremely difficult, although a large number of Qing troops were killed and wounded in today's battle, the losses of the imperial soldiers were also extremely huge.

And so far, the Imperial Heavy Artillery Wing has fired almost a fifth of the shells, and the next batch of shells will have to wait until next year's spring.

Now that the weather is freezing and a large number of imperial soldiers are sick and attritional, if they still haven't conquered Jinmen and Yanjing until next spring, enough supplies will be realized.

The sick and wounded of the First Army will definitely be an astronomical number that cannot be imagined.

Hearing Yamaguchi Sutomi's retreat order, Okubo Toshisada is mouth moved, and finally did not speak with a bitter face.

The battle is in such a mess that it is no longer useful to hold on or send out reserve soldiers other than to add more casualties.

"Doodoo-"

The loud military horn sounded in the heavens and the earth, and then it was transmitted to the battlefields in layers.

Whether they wanted to be willing or not, willing or not, the Japanese troops who heard the order began to withdraw their troops in an orderly manner.

Leave a corpse on the ground.

"The Japanese have retreated, the Japanese have retreated!"

In the cities of East and West, on the various battlefields outside the city, all the Qing troops raised their arms and shouted.

"Hahahaha-"

Standing on the west wall of Xiluo City, Nie Shicheng and Xu Bangdao looked at the Japanese army that was receding like a tide, and the two looked at each other and smiled, their voices full of beautiful happiness.

"Haha, sons, who said you can't carry a gun? Hahahaha-"

Under the city wall of Xiluo City, Tang Renlian, who was personally holding a gun and carrying the gun by his own soldiers, also laughed heartily.

"I really didn't expect that the resistance of the Qing army would be so tenacious!"

In the South Water Well Highland, for a long time, Okubo Toshisada said such a sentence with difficulty.

"Today, the imperial infantry suffered heavy losses, but the losses of the Qing army were even greater; Look at what the Qing army in the Guannai is holding in their hands? Guns, broadswords, long hair, bows and arrows! ”

Yamaguchi Suchen had already adjusted his mood at this time, and said with a smile: "Although it is a pity that we failed to capture a city in one fell swoop this time, the basic situation of the Qing army has been figured out; If my guess is correct, except for Jiaoshan and Weiyuan City, the Qing army has already dispatched all the troops of Shanhaiguan. ”
