Dalian at night. Dalian, which had always been calm, is now in darkness. From time to time, there would be a sound of a large group of people running through the streets. The people had already blown out the lamps and extinguished the candles, and closed the door anxiously. Whenever a large group of people came in. People who are covered in quilts will unconsciously tremble and beckon their mothers-in-law to take care of their children. Don't make a noise to provoke the Japanese.

Dalian County Ya, that is, the Second Army of the Japanese Army. For a long time, Zuo Matthew's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept thinking about the map.

From time to time, the staff officers who were busy with green handed the results of the advance and analysis of the Lushun Army to the chief of staff. From time to time, the heralds quickly walked out of the county office and conveyed orders to the various departments.

"Is the Arthur Navy leaving now?" For a long time, Zuo Matthew frowned. asked the chief of staff standing next to him with a heavy face.

A few days ago, Kuma Zomathew had already received information from intelligence officers that Liu Jun would attack him on the 21st.

After receiving information from the chief of staff, he just glanced at it, and he decided that it was Liu Jun's conspiracy. So he smiled indifferently and put the information aside. It's not in the same business.

No one will tell the opponent about their attack time like ****. I won't, and my opponent won't, but my opponent uses this method, and it has only one purpose. I want to play myself like a monkey.

If you fall for it once, you won't be fooled for the second time. For a long time, Zuo Matthew should sleep, sleep, drink. However, early this morning, after getting up from the bed, Kuma Zuo Matthew, after receiving the information from Lushun, his face suddenly turned pale. The beads of sweat on his face began to flow down non-stop.

"Lushun has a large number of troops, and the troops of a brigade of the army are gathering at the port......"

His Liu Jun is going to be serious,

A meeting of personnel at the military headquarters and brigade level was urgently summoned. And after making the various departments ready for battle, Zuoma's tense heart for a long time was a little more stable.

"The Lushun Navy has set out, and the army has been divided into three routes. Advancing towards our positions. "The chief of staff is like a treasure.

Nodding, Kuma Zuo Matthew asked, "How is our army prepared?" ”

"At present, the ministries are already urgently mobilized. Now that the defense has almost been completed, it is waiting for the attack of the Lushun army. ”

It was almost finished, and for a long time, Zuo Matthew showed a displeased face: "Let the departments hold on." Be sure to get everything done before Liu Jun's attack tomorrow.

Seeing the chief of staff walk out, Zuo Matthew sat down helplessly for a long time and felt relieved for the intelligence officer, if this information is not sent in time, then the consequences will be incalculable.

It was already dawn, and after a long night of walking in the war room, Zuo Matthew was now full of exhaustion. The eyelids are always fighting up and down.

In order not to let yourself fall asleep. Kuma stood up and walked to the map.

"What time is it?" Kuma asked lightly.

The "ten" staff officer looked at the pocket watch.

Ten o'clock, why did the Lushun army still not attack. For a long time, Zuo Matthew's heart was full of doubts.

From Lushun to Dalian, even if you climb, it will take less than one night. However.

Thinking of this, Kuma Zuo Matthew ordered: "Go and ask what is going on at the front." ”

Soon, the staff officers who had gone out to reconnoiter the situation ran back to report the situation.

Everything works fine, what does that mean. For a long time, Zuo Matthew's brows were furrowed, full of doubts.

I took a closer look at the map. For a long time, Zuo Matthew's face slowly changed, becoming ugly and helpless.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's not good." The chief of staff waved a piece of information in his hand and came to his side anxiously.

"Yaga." Kuma Zomathew angrily overturned the table next to him with a map. His face was full of anger and hatred.

He was played by Liu Jun as a monkey again.

According to the information of the chief of staff, the Lushun Army returned to the camp overnight, and even the army that had set out from the military port yesterday afternoon had already returned to the camp.

"Liar, shameless, villain, despicable" for a long time, Zuo Matthew began to scold in the war room. The dust from the pig-killing howl kept falling.

Close your eyes in pain. For a long time, Zuo Ma Tai walked out of the war room weakly, he really felt so tired, and met such a despicable and obscene guy.

There are joys and sorrows. Lushun County Ya. Liu Junle was serving tea and pouring water in the room, and carefully fed the ginseng soup in the bowl to Wu Xiaoyan who was lying on the bed. He finally understood why Wu Xiaoyan liked to eat sour.

Wu Xiaoyan is pregnant. conceived a child for herself.

After taking a sip, Wu Xiaoyan asked with a hint of reproach in concern: "Didn't you attack Dalian today?" How do you still but here. ”

"Hehe, it's canceled," Liu Jun said with a grin, and sent the ginseng soup to Wu Xiaoyan's mouth. Seeing Wu Xiaoyan, she shook her head. Liu Jun obediently handed the ginseng soup to Xiang'er, who was standing next to him.

"Head, good news." Zhong Lin's loud voice came in from outside.

Liu Jun frowned. Stood up and ran out: "Paralyzed, light will not die." ”

"Huh. Head, I'll tell you ......"

Hahaha, Liu Jun laughed out loud after listening.

"I'm so angry with you." Liu Jun was very satisfied, and the civilized gentleman burst out foul language.

The news brought by Zhong Lin was that the Japanese army in Dalian had been waiting for a day. For a long time, Zuo Matthew and the second officers and soldiers complained about the news.

Stopped smiling, and Liu Jun's face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly became gloomy: "The officers of all armies immediately went to the war room for a meeting. ”

Night. The people of Lushun had already blown out the candles and oil lamps and began to sleep.

Woohoo, woohoo. A sound woke up many dogs in the courtyards of the people. Then there was a burst of dog barking.

At first it was one, then it was ...... There was a burst of barking dogs throughout Arthur City. "Hurry, hurry, hurry. Get up to speed. Zhong Lin looked at the soldiers who were running quickly. Keep waving your arms. Urge the soldiers to pick up their speed.

Looking at the night sky anxiously, Wu Haolai kept chopping his feet, wishing that the soldiers would grow wings.

The order of the military seat was too harsh, and it was less than four hours for the Japanese position. The battle does not start at daybreak. Military justice was engaged, and the officer was shot.

I looked at the sky, and it was only six hours before dawn. However, this speed is still a bit slow.

"Tell the troops that the field artillery will follow up at the end, bring the unconscionable cannon, speed up, and the soldiers will discard everything except for the weapons and medicines, and advance lightly. It took three hours to reach the outlying positions of the Japanese army. Wu Hao took off his military discipline buckle.

"Raise the fire and take aim immediately. Full speed immediately after departure. Target, Dalian Port. Li He looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

Looking at the port that was slowly moving away, Li He muttered to himself: "The army should have already arrived, right?" ”

"Li Rong. What's going on, the troops march too slowly, speed up. Liu Jun tightened his cloak, rode on the white horse, and yelled anxiously at Li Rong next to him.

Li Rong bit his lip: "Military seat, the soldier carries too many things." Influence march, this. ”

"Throw it away, throw it away. Except for weapons and ammunition, everything else was thrown away by Lao Tzu. Liu Jun waved his hand impatiently.

Li Rong's eyes widened, if he threw away the food, what would the soldier eat. I was about to ask a question. Zhong Lin next to him tugged Li He. said in a low voice: "Throw it away, the head has already told Wu Datong that tomorrow morning the people will faint the food to the front line." ”

Oh, Li He, who had realized the lie, smiled and began to go down to give orders.

The Qing army, which had lost its burden, suddenly marched twice as fast as just now. Although the wind was biting, many of the soldiers' clothes were soaked with sweat and steaming all the time.

The reason why Liu Jun blatantly told the Japanese army that the time of the attack was to suddenly let the Qing army withdraw, and the mother was to let the tense nerves of the Kuma Zuoma relax and then attack suddenly. Take Dalian in one fell swoop.

No one would have thought or guessed that he would swagger and threaten to attack Dalian but would attack again the next day if he did not attack. This is not possible and unrealistic.

Dalian is not far from Lushun, although the distance is not long, but there are dozens of kilometers at all. Dead people don't toss continuously. Twice a day, the army is mobilized and tossed. Unless there is something wrong with the person.

After a three-hour rapid march, Liu Jun and Li Rong's 2nd Division finally reached the outlying positions of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Average in Dalian.

In the outer position of the Japanese army, Liu Jun climbed on the snow. Keep watching.

Except that it is not a patrol squad. The loneliness of the entire Japanese position on the dead side.

Spit out the withered grass in his mouth, Liu Jun showed a strange smile and put down the binoculars: "How much time?"

"Head, four thirty o'clock." Zhong Lin covered his clothes with his clothes, glanced at the time and replied easily.

"Order, an immediate attack in an hour."

Da The pocket watch in Zhong Lin's hand kept beating the card, and the time came to January 22, 1895.

When he said, Zhong Lin turned off his pocket watch: "Head, it's time." ”

Liu Jun nodded, raised his right hand and waved it fiercely.

With a loud bang, a huge flame erupted.

A conscienceless cannon beside Liu Jun let out a terrifying roar. With a bang, a small cypress tree in the Japanese position was blown in two by a shell, and then lifted up to the sky that had begun to turn white.

Boom, boom, And then burst out of horrific shrapnel.
