"If you surrender, you can do it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info should open the gates of the city at once, and concentrate the weapons on our army; Otherwise, it is captured. Haha-"

Ye Zhichao laughed and finished reading, and said without being angry: "Arrogant Oriental child, I don't know how many catties and catties I have!" But it's just right for our army; When this stupid general is defeated and captured alive in the future, he will definitely read his wild words today to his face and humiliate him fiercely. ”

The generals in the lobby all twisted their faces when they heard this, and they were disdainful in their hearts: "Bah, what is it?" How many can I blow! ”

"Bring the pen!"

Ye Zhichao waited for the foot-warming North Korean woman sent by Min Bingzheng to study the ink, and with a wave of the pen, a smooth grass appeared on the snow-white rice paper:

"Your Excellency General Dongyang, the rain is very heavy, there are many soldiers carved down, it is difficult to disperse quickly, the current Ming Dynasty, open the gates, please enter the city."

Ye Zhichao looked at his good hand with satisfaction, thinking that this was the best hand in his life, but it was a pity that he couldn't hang it in the high hall, which made people think about it.

Ye Zhichao waited for the ink to dry, folded it carefully, and handed it to Min Bingzao: "Supervisor Min, you sign this letter to General Wuyi." ”

When Ye Zhichao was waving, Min Bingzheng looked at the Chinese characters drawn by the ghost in one hand, and he looked confused.

The previous letter, but according to Ye Zhichao's wishes, he asked his subordinates to write it in Japanese.

Now the words on this paper are incomprehensible to half of China, and the commander of the Japanese army can read them?

However, Min Bingzheng was not in the mood to remind Ye Zhichao at this time, in his opinion, this Admiral Ye was now an unreasonable second neuropath.

I still hurried to finish the matter, and told Min Yongjun to gather the North Korean army in the city and flee for his life at night.

If he hadn't seen He Changying before, Min Bingzheng might have stayed in Pyongyang honestly and waited for the Japanese army.

However, the military song of the Korean reinforcement army, the terrible victory of the Dongxian Ridge, and the exploits of annihilating a cavalry squadron of the Japanese army at Shun'an Station yesterday made Min Bingzheng change his mind.

He decided to lead his troops and retreat to Anzhou City with the Qing army and gamble again.

As for this Ye Junmen?

"Forget it."

In the majestic rain, Min Bingzao, the supervisor of Ping'an Dao, who was walking in an empty alley with a few entourages, showed a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

Min Bingzheng took out the small piece of grass in his sleeve and directly crumpled this 'waste paper' that the Japanese army could not understand at all, and it was a complete waste of his time, and threw it into the rain full of silt.

Then he stepped on it with his rain boots and stepped into the mud.

"Click!"

A bolt of lightning flashed high in the sky, and countless electric snakes swam in the dark clouds, disappearing.

"Go back to the Daofu."

Min Bingzheng said coldly.

For Ye Zhichao and Pyongyang generals, Min Bingzheng is already completely disappointed.

Pyongyang City, Admiral's Yamen, Lobby.

Watching Min Bingxiao leave the lobby and disappear into the torrential rain, Ye Zhichao smiled and said to the generals: "If I reply to them like this, those Japanese soldiers will never think that we will retreat tonight." ”

"Which way to go?"

Wei Rugui frowned and said: "Yongshan Avenue and Yizhou Avenue are guarded by Japanese troops, unless they wade directly across the ordinary river from Qixing Gate and Jinghai Gate. ”

"The area around the ordinary river in the west of the city is full of paddy fields, and it rains heavily, I am afraid that it will be muddy and difficult to walk, and I will not be able to distinguish the direction at night, and once the Japanese army attacks, it will be a dilemma."

Jiang Zikang also had a bitter face, and this battle was really aggrieved.

And what's even worse is that the Feng army that jointly guarded the northern city with him suffered extremely heavy losses, including Zuo Guigui, who was killed, and on his side, a sentry officer Li Bohu 'disappeared', this matter was reported back to China, what would the Manchu dynasty think of themselves?

"Report to the military gate,"

A Qing army spy entered the hall and announced: "The Japanese in Beicheng are withdrawing from the Xuanwu Gate, and the Japanese outside the Qixing Gate have also retreated, and the horses on the Yizhou Avenue have been cleaned up by the Japanese army and withdrawn from the Yizhou Avenue." ”

"What," Ye Zhichao exclaimed, "What's going on?" ”

"Newspaper—"

With the shouting, another Qing army spy ran into the lobby: "Report to the military gate, the Japanese of Nancheng gave way to Yongshan Avenue and removed the rejection of horses on the road." ”

"Haha, God help me! It must have been the Japanese who heard our pretended submission and could not bear the heavy rain, so they withdrew all their precautions and waited for us to open the door tomorrow to greet us. ”

Ye Zhichao was stunned for a moment, then slapped his legs and laughed: "It turns out that these Japanese people have learned from Westerners over the years, and they have all learned to be stupid, and they are as stupid and easy to deceive as Westerners!" ”

"Generals obey orders!"

Ye Zhichao roared and stood up, in his imagination, it must be a room full of generals standing up and shouting 'chirp', listening to his assignment.

However, the generals in the room were all weak, and stood up without saying a word, looking at him.

That indescribable gaze made Ye Zhichao go crazy when he saw it.

However, when the matter comes, Ye Zhichao is not allowed to retreat, as for going back, it is a big deal to find two scapegoats?

Jiang Zikang, in particular, is simply the best candidate for scapegoat.

Fortunately, this guy didn't die, otherwise it would be really difficult to find such a high-quality scapegoat!

Ye Zhichao packed up his thoughts, these things, everything had to wait until he had the life to escape back to the Qing Dynasty and then make a long-term plan.

"At eight o'clock tonight, all parties withdrew from Pyongyang from Qixingmun and Jinghaemun; Qixingmen took Yizhou Avenue and went directly to Anzhou to assemble, Jinghaimen took Yongshan Avenue to detour to Suzhou, took a short rest, and immediately went to Anzhou to meet; Make no mistake! ”

As Ye Zhichao finished speaking, none of the generals in the room said a word, only the rain on the roof hit the garden outside the door, and the 'pop' sound.

"Click!"

A thunderbolt suddenly flashed outside the dark hall, startling all the generals in the room.

As a result, the torrential rain outside the house became more intense.

Datong River, 12 miles.

Strong winds, strong waves, and torrential rain made the 'Akagi', which was in the middle of the two estuaries of the river, sway in the waves.

It waited until five o'clock in the afternoon, and the 'Akagi' at Twelvepo did not wait for a possible telegram, so the gunboat had to continue to wait in the wind and waves.

The captain of the 'Chicheng', Ita Motohachiro, was too young to stand on the bridge with a grim face.

Before the rainstorm, a large number of corpses of imperial soldiers continued to float down from the upper reaches of the Taedong River, indicating that the battle of Pyongyang had begun, and that the imperial army had suffered heavy losses in the fierce fighting.

At this time, there was a lot of grief on the 'Chi Cheng', and even many soldiers ran over to petition, demanding that the gunboats be driven into the outside of Pyongyang and bombard the Qing army's city.

However, Itamoto Hachiro Taijun loudly shouted at these imperial soldiers who were bent on serving the country, because he knew that the decisive battle with the Qing Beiyang Naval Division might break out, and every ship and every cannon barrel was extremely precious.

Just as Commander Ito said, naval warfare is a prerequisite for the empire to defeat the Qing Dynasty, and if the Beiyang Naval Division cannot be defeated, no matter how big and perfect the victory of the army is, it is just a mirror and a castle in the air.

In the midst of the rainstorm, Itamoto Hachiro took out his pocket watch and glanced at it in a faintly bright color.

It was already 5:53 p.m.

"This kind of heavy rain can't be delivered even if there is a telegram; And since the Imperial Army is attacking Pyongyang, then the distress telegram of the Qing army in Pyongyang should have been sent back to the Qing Dynasty, so the Beiyang Naval Division should escort the Qing army to Andong to land in the next few days. ”

Itamoto Hachiro turned his head and gave an order to Captain Tetsutaro Sato, the chief navigator beside him: "Set sail immediately and return to Kusama and report this important information to Commander Ito." ”

"Woo-"

In the midst of the torrential rain, the 'Chicheng' sounded a dull whistle, and then set sail towards the mouth of the Datong River.
