The Anping estuary, which is located between Hushan and Pushi estuary, belongs to the defense area of the deputy capital of Shanhaiguan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Yalu River starts from the mouth of the Anping River to the upstream Gulouzi Village, the Pushi River estuary, and the Taiping Bay, and the river section of more than 20 miles is not as deep and gentle as the upstream Changdian River section.

It is not like the section of the river from the downstream of the Anping estuary to the Hushan, where the river is narrow and the water is rapid.

Instead, the river is wide, the water is clear and gentle, and there are shallow streams everywhere that can directly wade across the river.

For this reason, the Lianghekou has become the third horse merchant route on the Yalu River to Fengtian, Liaoyang, the hinterland of Xingjing, in addition to Jiulian City and Changdian Town.

Two days ago, Yi Ketanga and Wu Heng led the generals of the left flank defense line to survey all the way from the mouth of the Anping River to the Changdian ferry.

After some discussion, it was finally concluded that if the Japanese did not ferry from Shahezi in Dadonggou and no longer build bridges in Jiuliancheng, then the most likely thing was to wade from the Pushi River estuary, or cross the river by ferry from Changdian Ferry.

Then he waved his army and approached Shengjing, pointing at the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty.

In this regard, Yi Ketanga decided to personally lead 4,000 troops to garrison Changdian, and the line from the mouth of the Anping River to Taiping Bay was led by Wu Heng to lead 3,500 Jilin training troops and Qizi training troops along the river.

In this way, from the mouth of the Anping River to Taiping Bay, which is more than 20 miles away, these more than 3,500 banner soldiers are once again divided into sections to garrison, and each battalion head guards its own section of the river defense area, regardless of the 'frost' on the tiles of other battalion heads.

In the defense line of the Qing army on the Yalu River, Song Qing, the assistant of the Beiyang military affairs, first made the fatal mistake of the first division of troops into the defense area.

The deputy commander of the Shanhaiguan defense line on the left flank, Wu Heng, once again made this similar mistake.

The entire defense line of the Yalu River is full of holes.

The Japanese army could even cross the river at any place without thinking, concentrate their forces, and break through the weak defense line of the Qing army in one fell swoop.

As in the Battle of Pyongyang.

Except for Ma Yukun, the joint defense line of Wei Rugui and Ye Zhichao has been barely able to maintain a roughly equivalent proportion with the Japanese army in terms of the ratio of troops in local battlefields.

On the local battlefields of the northern front, Zuo Guigui, Jiang Zikang, and Jilin Lianjun's defense line, the combined forces of Tsumi Shangwen and Sato Masashi have always maintained a three-fold superiority over the Qing army.

Song Qing and Yi Ketanga, the two supreme commanders of the Yalu River defense line of the Qing Dynasty, did not analyze the lessons of the defeat in the Pyongyang Campaign, and hurriedly formulated this stupid defense strategy of the Yalu River defense line.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is at least one level worse than the Pyongyang defense system established by Ye Zhichao.

And when the war between the Qing Dynasty and Japan was in full swing, the imperial court dealt with Ye Zhichao, a Beiyang general who was timid and afraid of death, but had a very good strategic vision, and Wei Rugui, a tiger general.

It also completely chilled the hearts of the Sheng Army, the Luyu Defense Army, and other bystanders who were training the army.

Fortunately, the Luyu Defense Army still has Nie Shicheng to suppress the formation, and Nie Guilin, the 'Infernal Affairs' of Beiyang to enter the Feng army, does not have any prestige in the Feng army at all.

makes the current combat power of the Feng army, like the Sheng army and the Jilin training army, reduced to a 'duck egg soldier' who can't help but knock and shatter.

Two days ago, Heilongjiang General Yi Ketanga, in order to prevent the infiltration of Oriental spies, issued a death order to seal the river.

The Korean merchants who transported mountain treasures to Liaoyang and sold them in Mukden had no choice but to continue along the river after arriving at the Pushi River Estuary and Changdian Ferry.

Passing through Shuifeng, crossing the river at Weiyuan, which is 300 miles upstream, and detouring 500 miles to Liaoyang.

The Anping estuary was silent at this time, only the whisper of the wind sweeping the leaves and the gurgling water.

Except for some flag soldiers on duty sitting in groups of three or five on the shore, they were boring bragging and talking about meat.

The rest of the soldiers were nested in the marching tent to gamble on dice and push pai gow.

Those who win are elated, and those who lose are scolded.

"them, them!"

At this time, more than 50 cavalrymen of the Chunzi Battalion and cavalry suddenly heard a roar in the mountains and forests behind.

"He's paralyzed, what's the matter; them'? Who are they? ”

Simon, the battalion officer of the Chunzi Battalion, was staring in the marching tent, waiting for his subordinates' filial piety to be sacrificed at noon, when he heard a loud roar echoing in the mountains and dense forests outside.

He ran out of the tent and searched in shock.

The Qing soldiers on the bank of the river also rushed out of their tents one after another, looking at the overlapping mountains and forests behind them one by one, unable to understand what kind of trouble this was.

But no one panicked, and they didn't even bother to pick up the rifles they had left in the tent.

Since it is China's voice, it is his own person.

The current Yalu River's own people, except for the training of the 100 battalions, where are there other shadows.

At this time, if one by one is bluffed with guns and cannons, wouldn't it make people see the jokes and look timid, right?

"Lieutenant, on this side, it's the reinforcement army! He's paralyzed, what are they doing with guns? Paralyzed, stop, stop, this is the defense area of our spring word camp; - Stop! ”

In everyone's ears, they suddenly heard the exclamation of Lan Ling's long Erheng forehead, who was on guard at the corner of the back mountain.

", are these grandsons of the Korean army crazy?"

The lieutenant of the infantry army of Zhengwupin, the battalion officer of the Chunzi battalion, Xi Meng, heard it inexplicably.

――These guys don't want to stay in their own defense zone, what are they doing on the ground of Lao Tzu's spring camp?

To put it in his heart, if the reinforcement army really came here to garrison, he Ximeng raised his hands and legs in approval.

will definitely pull the team to the upper reaches of the Anping River without saying a word, and be the 'strong backing' of these stupid reinforcements of the Korean army.

And what does it mean when they shout 'them'?

Could it be that the Japanese soldiers are coming!

Simon was shocked, but when he looked at the empty Anping estuary, he looked confused.

Immediately, Simon was surprised to see a large group of reinforcements wearing Western-style military uniforms, panting, sweating profusely, with hideous faces, and rushing out with rifles in hand.

Then it blew by his side like the wind, and rushed towards the mouth of the Anping River as if no one was there.

What kind of place are you playing?

What the hell!

Simon's forehead is not tall, and he looks at this group of people who are tall and big, and they have a fierce look on their faces.

What made his heart tremble, he didn't dare to squeak.

At this time, he suddenly saw a short and thin 'monkey' in the charging team of the reinforcement army.

"Hey, brother, what are you going to do; Who are you talking about 'them', are the Japanese soldiers coming? ”

Simon's forehead suddenly became bold, and he dragged the 'monkey' to death, and asked curiously.

", you're paralyzed, don't pull your grandfather! There are so many people, why do you just pull grandpa, don't you think grandpa is easy to bully? ”

The deputy company commander of the second company of the third infantry battalion, who was charging, suddenly jumped up and down and became furious: "Do you think that grandpa looks thin and short like a monkey, so the persimmon picks up the soft pinch?" ”

"Uh-"

Simon quickly let go of his hand, thinking that this kid was self-aware and knew that he looked like a monkey.
