Chapter 172: It's Not Right

Clang...... Clang...... Clang......

In the Lushun Headquarters, in the war room, the sound of the teacups tapping gently was rhythmic and made a bell-bell-clanging sound.

In the war room, Liu Jun closed his eyes and was picking up the teacup in his hand, knocking it not.

Zhong Lin next to him knew that Liu Jun was thinking about Jilin's problems, so he also obediently sat on the side. Pulling out the documents he had been carrying, he knew that as soon as Liu Jun stopped tapping, the next thing would be the order.

With the sound of the bell, Liu Jun finally opened the teacup in his hand, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, who had been sitting for a hundred years, and said lightly: "Order." Duan Qirui immediately transferred a division to the south quickly, and together with Feng Guozhang, annihilated Rong Lu in one fell swoop, and ordered that after the troops attacking Shanhaiguan occupied Shanhaiguan, they immediately quickly went north with the strength of a regiment and attacked Rong Lu's back. ”

Card, put down the pen in his hand, Zhong Lin took a step forward suspiciously: "Head, you have decided to leave the main force in Shengjing." ”

After looking at Zhong Lin's questioning eyes, Liu Jun nodded, he had thought about it, he didn't need to slaughter a cow knife to kill chickens.

Rong Lu's troops, except for the more than 2,000 Janissaries, the others are troops that cannot be put on the stage, and these Qing army generals all have evil intentions, and he promised that with Rong Lu's ability, he will not be able to command these 40,000 troops smoothly.

This gave an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that these people were fighting in the nest, and quickly sent Duan Qirui a division to make a detour, and then attack on the flank of Ronglu, and the main force of Feng Guozhang's second corps will concentrate its forces, and wait until Duan Qirui's troops arrive, fiercely attack the front of Ronglu, and add the troops of Shanhaiguan to crush this miscellaneous army in one fell swoop.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jun looked at the time, it had been a day, and there was still no news from Shanhaiguan, which made Liu Jun a little worried, after all, this time, if Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui's troops attacked, the Qing army would inevitably retreat in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and at that time, whether this army could be eaten or not, it would depend on whether Wu Hao of Shanhaiguan could resist.

"Is there any news of Wu Hao?" Liu Jun thought for a moment and asked.

"Head, it's not yet, it's estimated that it will be done, you must know that the navy hasn't come back yet."

Well, maybe he was too anxious, Liu Jun thought of this and motioned Zhong Lin to do something.

Jinzhou City, now the cannon is rumbling, and the smoke is billowing out.

"Ready,"

"Open the gun"

Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... The ten field guns placed on the city walls roared again.

Ten minutes and hours ago, the Qing army didn't know what was crazy, and actually sent 5,000 people at a time to violently attack the position at the east gate

After Feng Guozhang, who was at the headquarters of the Jinzhou Provisional Corps, got the news, he immediately put down everything in his hand and rushed to the east gate to direct the battle.

Feng Guozhang's headquarters was originally in Yingkou, however, after the imperial army went north, Feng Guozhang moved his headquarters into Jinzhou after the Xingcheng encounter began, in order to facilitate the direct command and observation of the enemy's situation.

Originally, when he came to Jinzhou, the Qing army did not break through the defense line of the Liaodong Army in Xingcheng, however, Feng Guozhang knew that Liu Jun's plan was to encircle and annihilate this army under the city of Jinzhou.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Jinzhou, while ordering the troops to immediately dig trench positions outside the city, he sent a telegram to Ran Xu, who was in Xingcheng, and withdrew while fighting, attracting the main force of the Qing army to Jinzhou.

Ran Xu really fulfilled his mission, and yesterday afternoon, Ran Xu insisted on attracting tens of thousands of Qing troops to Jinzhou City.

With a bang, the shell exploded in the crowd of Qing troops, and the air waves and shrapnel of the explosion lifted several Qing soldiers into the sky at once, and then fell to the ground without a snort.

Luo Dacheng, who was standing beside Feng Guozhang, saw this scene, turned his head and looked at Feng Guozhang beside him: "Old Feng, what the hell is wrong." Is the Qing army crazy? ”

Well, Feng Guozhang also saw this problem.

In the past few days, although the Qing army will also attack, but it is just for show, once it is intercepted by its own artillery fire, it will inevitably retreat quickly, but now, these Qing troops not only do not retreat, but among them, there are also Qing troops wearing yellow clothes.

Feng Guozhang knew that those Qing troops were Praetorian Guards, specially protecting the emperor.

You must know that in the past few days, the troops attacking Jinzhou have not appeared with these troops, but today.

Feng Guozhang nodded, and pointed to some Qing troops in yellow uniforms who were rushing towards Jinzhou: "It's strange, have you seen it, the Praetorian Guards have all come out." ”

"Yes, look at the formation of these Qing soldiers today, it is very different from yesterday."

"Lao Feng, did you say something happened to the Qing army?" Luo Dacheng lowered his head and thought for a while and asked.

This, Feng Guozhang fell into deep thought all of a sudden. His thoughts are a little close to Luo Dacheng's, that is, Rong Lu's side definitely got some news, so he will take Jinzhou desperately.

Boom, a deafening sound woke Feng Guozhang from his thoughts, he looked up, the Qing army actually rushed through the interception net of the field artillery, and now it has actually reached the firing distance of the unconscionable cannon.

On a high ground outside the city of Jinzhou, a huge camp tent was erected. There were a lot of branches around for cover, and not far in front of the camp, a huge flagpole with a big handsome flag written on it was fluttering in the wind.

Rong Lu, dressed in armor, was standing on the top of the mountain at this time, raising the binoculars in his hand and looking at the attacking troops.

Seeing that the troops were about to rush to the position, he did not expect to be suppressed by another kind of artillery that he had never seen before. More than 2,000 people attacked the troops, and a small half of them went at once. How else did this battle be fought, and so many troops were lost before even touching the enemy's position.

However, Rong Lu had to fight, and at noon today, he got very bad news.

Shanhaiguan was raided and fell by the Liaodong Army.

As soon as Shanhaiguan was lost, his back road was completely cut off, not to mention his own grain and grass.

At that time, he secretly asked the grain and grass officer to calculate, and the current grain can only last for three days.

Three days, if you can't take Jinzhou in three days, your tens of thousands of troops will have to starve outside Jinzhou City.

Therefore, after getting the grain and grass, he immediately organized the troops to attack, no matter what the cost, he had to take Jinzhou, and then let the troops enter to rest.

In order to take Jinzhou as soon as possible, Rong Lu put the Praetorian Guards, who had not appeared on the battlefield since the beginning of the war, for the first time.

Seeing that the attacking troops suffered some heavy losses, Rong Lu put down the binoculars in his hand: "Order, the second attack echelon will attack." ”

After receiving the order, one of the lieutenant generals immediately turned around and left.

With a shout of "kill", another 2,000 Qing troops, under the leadership of the generals, rushed to Jinzhou again.

Hmph, I don't believe in my wheel war, and I can't take your little Jinzhou, looking at Jinzhou City in the distance. Rong Lu thought confidently in his heart.

In the backyard of the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun, who had planned out the general plan, was at leisure all of a sudden, and at this time, he was lying leisurely on the Taishi chair, closing his eyes and waiting for the results ahead.

He is not a person who holds power, he will only make a general plan and the goal he wants to achieve, as for how to achieve this goal, it is not his business. It's a question of the front-line commander, he just needs the result.

"Head, head" In the courtyard, Zhong Lin's unique voice came.

As soon as he heard Zhong Lin's voice, Liu Jun lazily opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Lin, and then closed his eyes again.

After Zhong Lin arrived, Liu Jun asked slowly: "What's wrong, is it that Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang have joined forces?" ”

Zhong Lin looked at the telegram in his hand, and then at Liu Jun who was lying on the Taishi's chair.

Biting his lip, Zhong Lin said carefully: "Head, it's not, it's something else." ”

Other things, Liu Jun doesn't know, at this time, what else is going on.

"What's the matter, what are you talking about, I didn't see Zhong Lin speak for a long time, and Liu Jun sat down all of a sudden.

"Head, Pyongyang Ding Ruchang telegraphed that the Japanese army has been moving frequently recently, and at present it has concentrated the strength of two divisions on the border, and he asked how to deal with it."

"What" Liu Jun stood up suddenly. He snatched the telegram from Zhong Lin and looked at it carefully.

Hmph, Liu Jun snorted coldly, crumpled the telegram in his hand, and threw it to the ground.

Grass mud horse, the Japanese are really good at picking the time, Liu Jun scolded resentfully in his heart.
