Yingkou, the whole air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and the silence of death.

The streets are littered with traces of fire and rubble walls, and corpses can be seen everywhere covering the entire Kaka corner of Yingkou City. A few civilians in tattered clothes, under the threat of several Japanese soldiers, were holding back tears of grief and carrying the corpses onto wheelbarrows, and then transported them to the east gate to pile up.

The county office, the commander of the 6th Division, Kuroki Weizhen, was wiping the saber in his hand with a white handkerchief.

Inside the yard, except for a few trees without leaves, they were swayed from side to side by the cold wind. There were only a few corpses of Qing people who had been covered with snow under the bridge frame in the courtyard, which he tried to see if the knife was about to be hacked to death when he tried the knife yesterday, and one of the corpses was still a child of six or seven years old.

When I entered the camp, it was already the sixth day. In the past six days, he didn't know how many Qing people he had killed. Anyway, he found that his knife seemed to have a small gap. Every time he kills someone, he closes his eyes and enjoys the bitter wails of the Qing people, which is really a pleasure.

"It turns out that the legend that human blood can wipe the knife sharper and brighter is true." He looked at his emperor's saber and a blood-red mark. Kuroki said to himself for Zhenzhen.

"Division commander, it's not good, there are enemy cavalry in the forward positions outside the city." The chief of staff walked in in a panic.

"Chief of Staff, don't forget that you are an Imperial soldier." Seeing that his chief of staff was so flustered and anxious. Kuroki Weizhen put the command knife into the knife and said

The chief of staff hurriedly bowed his head to admit his mistake, and then said: "According to the front report, at noon today, a group of cavalry appeared in the forward position, about fifty people. He stayed in front of the position for a long time before leaving. ”

"Why didn't you shoot?" Kuroki asked strangely.

"The other side didn't look like the Qing army, so the soldiers didn't shoot. It was only reported after they left. The chief of staff said as he looked at Kurogi Weizhen's face. I'm afraid that this moody person will get nervous again and chop himself up.

Fighting in the place of the Qing State, if it is not the Qing army, then what else will it be? , black wood for the Zhen frown. After a while, he asked, "How are they dressed?" ”

The chief of staff roughly explained the attire of the opposing cavalry, and Kuroki closed his eyes and thought for a long time, not knowing that it was the army of that country. In order to understand the situation, he stood up and put the knife into the sharpener, and he was going to see it for himself.

Passing by the gate, Kuroki looked at the corpse that had been buried in the snow with disdain, snorted coldly, and under the escort of the guards, rode on a fast horse and ran out of the city.

Before Kuroki left the city, he heard earth-shattering explosions and shouts of killing coming from outside the city.

Kuroki stopped suddenly, looked at the direction of the explosion, froze for a while, and asked the chief of staff beside him in surprise: "What's going on?" Could it be that the Qing army counterattacked? ”

The chief of staff is also in a daze now, and there is no report showing that there are still Qing troops around Yingkou. He didn't know how to explain it to Kuroki, so he had to ask people to check it out quickly.

Not long after the people who were inspecting had left, Kuroki saw the commander of the 11th Brigade, Yasumi Tera, riding towards him. Seeing Oji Yasumi dismount, Kuroki asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Report to the division commander, we are under attack by the Qing army in Lushun,"

"The Qing army in Lushun?" How do you know it's the Qing army in Lushun? "Kuroki is puzzled, the 11th Brigade is stationed in the city, and it is not deployed outside the city, he doesn't know why Oji Anchun is so sure that this is the Qing army of Lushun."

At first, he didn't know who was attacking, but later he heard a sound that he couldn't forget for the rest of his life, the deafening sound of the cannon without conscience, and he concluded that the Qing army attacking Yingkou was Lushun's army, because only the Qing army in Lushun would have this kind of very vicious artillery.

He told Kuroki about his two battles with the defenders of Lushun, and Kuroki was also shocked. He hurriedly got on his horse and came to Yingkou City. He jumped off his horse, climbed the city wall as fast as he could, and raised his telescope to look out of the city.

Under the telescope, Kuroki clearly saw that a group of soldiers in gray military uniforms were charging towards their own defense line under the cover of artillery. ”

"No, this is not the Qing army." Kuroki put down the telescope in his hand and said naturally to himself.

"Not the Qing army?" The next big temple Yasujun and the staff officer were also surprised, picked up the telescope and looked ahead.

Indeed, this is not the Qing army, the military uniforms of the Qing army are all uniforms, and there is no such military uniform at all. So where is this troop, and how did they come back to attack Yingkou, a question mark appeared in the minds of several people.

"Killing" the iron cavalry rolling, Kuroki and the others all felt that the city wall was trembling, Kurogi, who had been in the army for many years, knew that this was the cavalry sprinting, and this cavalry was definitely thousands of people, otherwise it would not have made such a big move.

Sure enough, in the telescope, a group of cavalrymen in gray uniforms and straps and large caps were following closely behind the infantry, looking at the sparse position that had been bombed by the enemy's artillery fire.

A cavalryman at the front carried a dazzling yellow dragon flag on his shoulder, which was the military flag of the Qing State. Obviously, this army was also a Qing army, but what Kuroki couldn't understand was why these Qing troops were not dressed like other Qing troops.

Could it be that this is a unit trained by Qing Guoxin, this is not right, I have not heard that Qing Guo has trained troops who have always dressed like this, if there is, the base camp will also tell itself.

What the hell is going on, Kuroki's face is full of questions.

The cavalry followed the trend and rushed to the Japanese position in an instant, and the Japanese army, who had already suffered a lot of shells, suddenly panicked, and many Japanese soldiers were cut off their heads like watermelons by the Qing army.

Seeing that his troops were hit like this, if he waited for a while, then a wing outside would be eaten by the other party, thinking of this, Kuroki ordered that the cavalry wing in the city immediately go out of the city to rescue the infantry wing that was being cut down by the Qing army.

More than 500 Japanese cavalry swarmed out. Rush towards the gray tide where the Yellow Dragon Flag keeps fluttering.

Obviously, the other party also saw the Japanese cavalry out of the city.

The Qing cavalry began to turn their horses' heads, gave up the pursuit of the Japanese infantry, and began to fight with the Japanese cavalry.

Outside the city, Liu Jun walked towards the cavalry regiment that was fighting with the Japanese army, and he pointed to Luo Dacheng who was next to him: "You are the cavalry brigade commander, how to fight is your business, I will not interfere, but if I still find that there is a cavalry returning to the city, your cavalry brigade commander will not do it, and go to be a small soldier yourself." ”

When Luo Dacheng heard Liu Jun's hand, he immediately pulled out his waist knife and shouted at the cavalry of the two regiments who were still behind him: "Brothers, rush with me and avenge the people of Yingkou." ”

"Rush." The cavalry of the Qing army, under the leadership of Luo Dacheng, rushed forward like a whirlwind, entangled the Japanese troops who came out of the city.

It turned out that after setting off from Lushun, Liu Jun led the troops on a rapid march all the way and arrived at 10 kilometers from Yingkou at noon today. In order to get accurate information, Liu Jun sent reconnaissance cavalry.

The reconnaissance cavalry soon came to Yingkou, carried out reconnaissance of Yingkou, and obtained accurate information, but the reconnaissance soldier was discovered by the Japanese army, so the defenders outside the city would report to the division headquarters, so the above scene appeared.

The scout's report made Liu Jun a little incredulous, the Sixth Division actually just put a wing of troops outside the city in a decent way. And what is even more surprising is that the wings outside the city do not seem to have established any defensive positions at all.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the scouts would lie, Liu Jun personally led the first regiment, the cavalry brigade and the two battalions of the artillery to the camp to take a look, and it turned out that all this was true.

This kind of defense of the Japanese army immediately made Liu Junle blossom, he knew that this was because the Japanese army was too arrogant, and he thought that there was no main force of the Qing army around Yingkou, so he would relax like this.

Liu Jun immediately ordered to attack Yingkou, first take the opponent's outer positions, and then attack the city.

The Qing army received the order to line up the artillery and take the lead in shelling the Japanese position, and then the first regiment immediately launched an attack, and when the Japanese did not react, rushed to the Japanese position in hand-to-hand combat.

Liu Jun, who was behind, saw that the first regiment was entangled with the Japanese army, and it was difficult to take the periphery for a while, so he ordered a regiment of cavalry to go out and start attacking with the infantry. Who would have known that it would lead to the cavalry of the Japanese army.

Liu Jun was determined to kill all the Japanese troops in Yingkou this time, and when he saw that the Japanese army was actually fighting with the Qing cavalry, he also gave Luo Dacheng an order, if he didn't eat these 500 people, Luo Dacheng's cavalry brigade should not be killed.

The black wood on the city wall has already determined that this unit wearing strange military uniforms is the Qing army, and only the Qing army will carry the Yellow Dragon Banner, and only the Qing army will drag a braid behind the head. None of this is important to Kuroki, the important thing is that the Qing army in front of him is too strong.

He also went through several battles with the cavalry of the Qing army, and every time he fought, the Qing army always fled within a few minutes of fighting with his own cavalry, but now, the Qing army outside the city, not only did not retreat, but bit his cavalry to death, and the cavalry wing had no chance to evacuate at all, so it could only drink the cavalry of the Qing army and slash together.

The sound of bigger horses' hooves sounded, and Kuroki saw that the other party had once again dispatched thousands of cavalry, swarming over, looking at the posture, it was to eat his own cavalry.

"Open fire, intercept them." Kuroki wiped the cold sweat from his face. He began to order in a hurry.

Boom, the cannonball exploded in the Qing cavalry, and many Qing troops and horses were hit by the cannonball and fell to the ground, and then were trampled by the horses' hooves behind. It became a meat puree.

"Open the cannon and suppress the Japanese artillery fire." Seeing that his cavalry was attacked by Japanese artillery fire, Liu Jun also gave an order.

Boom, the artillery units of the Japanese and Qing armies began to suppress each other.

On the city wall at the entrance of the camp, Daji Yasuchun finally affirmed whose army it was, he looked at the Qing soldiers who had rushed into the Japanese cavalry formation outside the city, turned his head and said to Kuroki, who was observing the battle situation: "The commander of the division is the Qing army of Lushun Liu Jun. ”

"You're sure." Kuroki heard Oji Yasujun's words and turned his head and asked. ”

"Yes, I'm sure."

Phew, Kuroki let out a long breath.
