Zhou Maoqi took a sip of water, "I naturally know that Xuan Yuemeng is bluffing, but Jiangnan's is indeed in the hands of Huaguo, and the imperial court has no strength to recapture Jiangnan, this is something everyone knows!" Originally, the Chinese army was very popular in Taipei, and when the common people heard that a large army was coming from the mainland, could they not be in a hurry? Xuan Yuemeng is doing this, if he doesn't stand on his side, we are his enemies, without foreign aid, Taiwan is such a big place, resources are so scarce, where can we raise tens of thousands of troops to fight with Xuan Yuemeng? ”

"So, what now?" Xia Xianlun listened to the sound of shouting slogans outside the prefect's yamen, and he was also anxious. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there are not many people in Taiwan, there is no problem in organizing more than 100 officers and mobilizing thousands of villagers.

The squires were originally the grass on the wall, the system of the cute president, and they were not deprived of property for no reason, and most of the squires were not the face-painted bullies in the TV series, but there were many scholarly families who knew how to read and reason, what are these readers most afraid of?

Afraid!

Although many people of insight can see that President Meng is bluffing, if he can mobilize 100,000 troops, wouldn't he have mobilized it earlier?

Therefore, they went to the newspaper office of Huacui Evening News one after another to express their support for Huaguo's recovery of the whole of Taiwan and their willingness to accept Huaguo's leadership.

President Meng did not instigate in the case of military strength and financial failure, but through strong public opinion pressure, he contributed to the awakening of the entire Taiwanese people, forcing the people to stand in line, if you don't stand in the right place, you just wait for death!

At noon on the third day of President Meng's telegram, more than a dozen Qing soldiers and horses, totaling more than 40,000 people, have been known as more than 50,000 Qing troops, and after deducting the part of the empty salary, it will be 40,000 people.

More than 40,000 people began to besiege Checheng without their lives.

In fact, everyone was forced by President Meng like this, and they all figured it out, no matter whether they beat the Japanese or not, Taiwan will be President Meng sooner or later, so many Qing troops, it is impossible to pinch together, in the case of cutting off the sea route, this Taiwan, out of President Meng, no one has the strength and prestige to reorganize these troops!

Now it has become the Qing army to cover the Checheng with artillery fire, although the Qing army only needs more than 100 old-fashioned iron cannons, and there is no problem in hitting the Checheng with a short city wall.

Saigo Congdao was shocked, "Are the Chinese crazy?" It's all Qing troops, why would they suddenly launch an offensive against us? ”

"According to our intelligence officers, it was Xuan Yuemeng who exerted pressure on the military and civilians in Tainan through telegrams and Huacui Evening News, claiming that in 10 days, 100,000 troops would be mobilized to Taiwan, and they would suddenly do this." The adjutant replied.

Saigo slapped his thigh from the road, "Alas! Can these stupid Chinese, Xuan Yuemeng's words, be believed? Xuan Yuemeng's words are not even credible in punctuation! If he can take out 10,000 troops, I will give him my head! Xuan Yuemeng is really terrible, this is not a military means, this is a political offensive! Our politics, compared to China, is even inferior to children! ”

"It's not time for the general to talk about this, what should we do now? If we don't make a decision, we'll be wiped out here! The adjutant said urgently.

Saigo frowned, "What do you mean?" Do you want me to surrender? There were no samurai who surrendered in the Japanese Empire, you were all samurai! Something that doesn't make a difference! ”

The adjutant was too frightened to say anything more and retreated.

More than 40,000 Qing troops cooperated with powerful artillery fire, although it was a scattered attack, but they could not withstand the number of 20 times that of the Japanese! The attack from all directions, such a momentum, let everyone fight bravely to be the first, everyone knows that if they can get the head of the Japanese in this battle, they should be able to go to the Klinsmann & Co. in Tainan and the newspaper office of the Huacui Evening News to ask for credit!

The Qing army thundered the war drums in unison, the cannons roared, the Qing army, it was rare to have such a majestic time, in the face of foreign insults, everyone stood up!

Although it was 20 people fighting one, and they were all dealing with the Japanese soldiers who had been hungry for more than a month and could only survive by eating grass roots and tree bark under the condition of being full of food and drink, everyone's momentum and courage were still worthy of praise.

Saigo commanded 2,000 Japanese soldiers to defend Checheng to the death, and rows of various obsolete miscellaneous guns bought from the United States and Europe were also quite orderly.

The Qing army's bird guns, short guns, and miscellaneous elimination guns against Xixiang Congdao, although they were at a disadvantage, they couldn't stand up to many people.

Xixiang saw that the Qing army was too strong to defend such a small stone city, frowned, and ordered: "No, I can't hold it, I see that the Qing army at the east gate is relatively weak, break through from the east gate!" ”

The Japanese soldiers rushed out of the east gate, and the Qing army has been the Fujian army melee together, this part, as long as more than 3,000 people, Xixiang from the road is still relatively accurate, from here there is indeed a chance to break through.

Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi and Taiwan's military commander Xia Xianlun arrived with more than 6,000 people from Taiwan.

Xia Xianlun saw that the Japanese were extremely brave, assaulting with katanas and rifles, and asked worriedly: "Lord Zhou, should we wait?" The Japanese are too fierce, if our brothers fight too little, in the future, in front of President Meng, will it seem that our strength is too weak? ”

Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi's thinking was also confused, he thought nervously for a while, and frowned, "You are confused, if you let the Japanese go, then you will have no face, and it is just at this time to grab more Japanese heads, which can be regarded as meritorious service." ”

Xia Xianlun suddenly realized, but he still didn't dare to urge the army to fight.

Zhou Maoqi snorted: "Listen to my order, the whole army will assault, and kill the Japanese together!" ”

In the roar of war drums, a group of untrained Qing troops rushed forward, Zhou Maoqi's men and horses and the Fujian Qing army in a round, instantly reached the army of 10,000 people, and immediately stabilized the position, and the other more than a dozen Qing troops also approached, and the war entered the era of cold weapons, and returned to hand-to-hand combat.

"Rush! Kill! ”

"Brethren! We can't disgrace the old Hunan army! Kill me! ”

"Brothers, grab a few more Japanese heads, and everyone will make meritorious contributions!"

"Rush! Kill! ”

The commanders of the various branches of men and horses gave orders almost at the same time, and their fighting spirit was not high.

In close-range melee, the cloth armor of the Qing army, and many local troops are the clothes of ordinary people, and the Japanese are all modern standard military uniforms.
