"Zhongtang, great victory!"

Qin Yuefeng, who was outside the hall, shouted excitedly: "The cadet army was in Shun'an Post this morning, and the first squadron of the fifth cavalry brigade of the Japanese army was completely annihilated; A total of 206 Japanese soldiers, including Captain Takahashi Ichiro, the leader of the cavalry squadron, were killed, 1 person was captured, and more than 200 horses and more than 200 guns were captured. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Hum—"

The room suddenly burst into chaos, both rejoicing at the cadet army's great achievements and shocked at their terrifying strength.

It's only been a few days, and it's actually another total annihilation!

Li Jingpu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Not only was he glad that Changying's army had achieved military successes, but he was also happy that this 'bastard' had actually jumped out of the encirclement of Pyongyang City.

"Bring the telegram!"

Li Hongzhang's excited voice trembled a little, with this feat, all the problems in front of him were suddenly solved.

"The cadet army is really sharp, and it is worthy of years of cultivation in the middle hall."

Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi glanced at each other, and said a little sourly, and couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in their hearts.

Last time, he asked Tang Shaoyi to talk to He Changying, and he didn't have the idea of being his subordinate, but now it seems that this guy is going against the sky in the future!

"Congratulations to Nakado!"

Luo Rongguang happily stood up and gave up his hand, thinking that he would go back at night and talk to Feng'er well, this kid is so capable, even if there are more problems, Lao Tzu can bear it.

Wu Yuren was extremely unhappy in his heart, this He Changying, he almost cut off his head in early August, but now everyone in Jinmen is rumoring about it.

said that he was a villain, and he attracted the wrath of the heavens, thundered the big tree to warn him, and finally let the loyal minister He Changying escape safely, so as to achieve such extraordinary feats today.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Li Hongzhang said to Luo Rongguang and Wu Yuren with a smile: "There are also soldiers of the two of you here, and there are also your credits. ”

"Congratulations for Zhongtang, congratulations for the two military gates!"

A room full of people stood up and congratulated loudly.

Li Hongzhang waved his hand with a smile and said: "Youqiao, report the matter of neutralization and the great victory of Shun'an Yi to the Prime Minister's Yamen." ”

Zhang Peilun nodded happily.

"The Jinmen government and the county government will post a good news notice when the heavy rain stops, and let the officials spread it along the street; Shout a little more in front of the consulates of several countries in Zizhulin. ”

"Wow!"

Wang Shouzheng and Chen Wenqi hurriedly received the order.

"Tomorrow's 'sacrifice of prisoners' is an unprecedented event in the Qing Dynasty, so you have to worry about it."

"Wow!"

The room roared in unison, and Li Hongzhang laughed happily.

Pyongyang, Peony Taeju Fort.

Ye Zhichao and his party will stand on the top of the Peony Terrace, looking at the north and northwest directions.

"It is reported that there are no more than 10,000 troops of the two Japanese troops, pointing at my little men, it is okay to say for a day or two, but it will not be able to resist after a long time."

Zuo Guigui's face was gloomy.

The Jiang Zikang division on his left had more than 1,400 troops, mainly defending the Jiziling of Beishan and the Qixingmen in the northwest; The strength of his own army is 1500 infantry, 500 artillery battalions, defending Jingyan Mountain, Peony Terrace and Xuanwu Gate; On the right is the remnants of the Jilin training army, more than 700 people, assisting in the defense of the city wall along the river.

In this way, 4000 troops were concentrated on the entire northern front against the Japanese army.

"There are a lot, your northern part is narrow, and it is not easy for the Japanese army to deploy, and there are heavy forts on the high ground such as Jiziling, Jingyan Mountain, and Peony Terrace; We only have more than 5,000 troops in Nancheng, and in the defending bridge and Suzaku Gate, they are all flat and flat; Moreover, facing the headquarters of the 5th Division, the main force of the Japanese army, we are more difficult to fight than you. ”

Wei Rugui said politely.

Regarding these facts, Zuo Guigui had nothing to say, so he had to complain: "You shouldn't have transferred half of your troops out of Pyongyang, and there are guns and bullets, and the Jilin training army has lost so many guns, and now the treasury is airborne!" ”

"The Jilin training army is now defending the north gate."

Wei Rugui opened his mouth, and Zuo Guigui couldn't get off the stage.

"Well, don't fight for anything, now everyone is a caged loach, and the cage is broken!"

Ye Zhichao said irritably: "It's still He Changying, this kid is capable, he jumped out of Pyongyang in advance, and ambushed a squadron of more than 200 people in the Japanese army with more than 1,000 troops. ”

The generals were silent, and only Zuo Guigui said unfairly: "He Changying was just a lowly garrison from Wupin a few days ago, leading more than 1,000 troops, first destroying a brigade, and this time destroying a cavalry squadron; Which battalion officer can play so beautifully, I am now beating gongs and drums to send him back to the Qing Dynasty willingly. ”

Zuo Guigui's big truth is really unpleasant, and the crowd will be silent again.

"Let's go, let's go back and prepare for the battle!"

Ye Zhichao was called by Zhongtang in the afternoon, exposing Zhonghe's lies, panicked and scared, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain after saying a word.

He was going back to the Korean woman in the Admiral's yamen to fire two cannons and go to the evil fire.

Datong Jiangzuo, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army is stationed.

In the near night, Oshima Yoshimasa, who had been anxious, finally received news from the Shuoning detachment, the Yuanshan detachment, and the division headquarters.

The Sookyeong detachment, the Wonsan detachment, had blocked the Uiju Avenue and the Wonsan Avenue in Beiseong, and began to launch an offensive on all fronts early tomorrow morning.

The division headquarters is expected to arrive at Yeongsan Avenue south of Pyongyang tomorrow morning and launch a general attack.

"Okagashi, I said you wrote it."

Yoshimasa Oshima excitedly ordered his chief of staff to write back to the division commander, General Tsuno.

"The report of the Shishuo Ning detachment is that the Yunyuanshan detachment has reached the Beishan Mountain, and these two detachments will encircle and attack the Xuanwu Gate of Beicheng as scheduled. On the 15th, we crossed the river from Giethoorn Island and attacked the eastern part of the city in half a brigade, and the rest of the brigade attacked Pyongyang from the bridge of the boat. It is feared that in the later stage of the division, the two detachments of Wonsan and Sonyong will be isolated, and the brigade will take the risk of endangering Pyongyang. I am willing to lead the troops for the division and the regiment to help the battle of tomorrow. ”

The more Oshima Yoshimasa spoke, the more excited he became, and he roared with his dancing hands: "This brigade will capture Pyongyang around 8 o'clock before the afternoon of the 15th tomorrow, and the rest of the princes will shake hands in the city to wish long live." ”

Ten miles northeast of Kanbei Mountain, in the middle of the nameless mountain road.

More than 500 people from the first company, the second company, the reconnaissance platoon, and the guard team of the Korean reinforcement army drove more than 40 miles of mountain roads and came to this mountain road to camp and rest before dark.

Because in the silent night, the sound and firelight will travel far away, just in case, all the reinforcement troops banned bonfires, and all the more than 30 heavy military horses were also brought in horse cages.

Time passed little by little, and He Changying, Shen Zhaoao, Wu Weiyang, Peng Qianyan and other officers were anxiously waiting for the results of the reconnaissance ahead.

"Battalion commander."

In the dark, Jin Yongjun, Xu Ru, and Liu Mingyang walked over in the dark wearing the clothes of local North Korean people.

"How?"

He Changying stood up and handed her water skin bag to Xu Ru.

"The defense was very tight; The Japanese army started from the Pyongjiang River in the west, then from Uiju Avenue to Wonsan Avenue, and finally extended to the Datong River, and all established a cordon, and they could not enter at all. ”

Liu Mingyang gasped, saw Xu Ru finish drinking the water, snatched the water bladder, and poured it up.

"You-"

Xu Ru said in a rough voice, and he was not lightly angry.

Liu Mingyang drank half a pot in one go, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not dirty." ”

Shen Zhaoao smiled, and then said cautiously: "Battalion commander, now the Japanese army has concentrated more than 7,000 troops on the northern front, and the area of Beicheng is narrow, and it is impossible to invest all of them in battle; Moreover, they have to guard against the support of the Qing army in Anzhou and Suzhou, so I think that in Beicheng, we will not be able to carry out a surprise attack at all. ”

Wu Weiyang also nodded when he heard it and said, "Unless there is a tough battle; However, pointing to our 500 or so people, the military strength of a brigade of the Japanese army is enough for us to be busy. ”

He Changying scattered a circle of cigarettes, lit them, curled the cigarettes, and pondered for a long time.
