It was already more than eight o'clock in the evening when the two bidders assembled at the dock, and the two bidders who were ordered to go out were Fan Tianhao and Mao Weiming. are all Dong Liang's father's old subordinates, and Dong Liang's ten bidders are his father's old subordinates. It's a bit of a reuse of them, and any good equipment and training will also take care of them first. In order to show the emperor the strong combat effectiveness of his subordinates, this time he went to Chao Xian. He's used all his money.

The sea breeze blew uncontrollably in the night, and four behemoths were docked on the sea. Many officers and soldiers had never seen it, and they were talking about it.

"Hey, you say. Is that a ship? Is it still a cannon with a pestle, or a battery built at sea?? ”

"Idiot, no wonder the emperor wants to teach you to read. It was a gunboat, which the imperial court bought from the British. That thing is driving fast, and one of my fellows is on an errand here. ”

"Shall we take this boat to Chao Xian?"

"Dream on, it's an escort. The emperor threw so much silver at us, he didn't want us to have something happen to the sea, so he went to feed the fish without a war. ”

"Well, we're worth these four big monster guards? We're not worth the same now. ”

"Who's to say it isn't? I'm here on an errand, and the money I get can feed my whole family of eleven people. ”

The troop carriers also arrived one after another, with Dong Liang's order. Each standard and battalion boarded the ship separately, and it was in an orderly manner, and there was no trace of chaos. At first glance, it looks like a unit with good training and military qualities.

With a long roar, twenty troop carriers and four gunboats set sail.

Dong Liang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Qingdao at night. I was full of emotion in my heart, thinking about what the emperor had said back then. had the opportunity to avenge his father on the battlefield, and now that there was civil strife in the court, the emperor was the first to think of himself. Among so many generals, they even abandoned Wu Ping's troops, which had been stationed in the DPRK and rarely had troops. gave myself such an opportunity to make a contribution. spent thousands of miles on the gunboat escort of the Nanyang Naval Division, how could he not be moved?

"General, the two commanders have arrived." A pro-soldier said.

"Got it." Dong Liang turned around and slowly walked into the cabin.

"Humble to the general." The two standard commanders knelt down on one knee and performed a standard military salute.

"Get up, sit!" Dong Liang sat down in the middle of the game.

"General, didn't this court only buy two ironclad ships?" Yang Wei' and 'Super Brave'! Where are the two more ships coming out? Mao Weiming asked.

"The other two ships were originally sold to Turkey by the British, but later sold to us for unknown reasons. Originally, it was called Ge'er and Ori, but now it has been renamed 'Changsheng' and 'Undefeated', and I have to say that our emperor is omnipotent, and even foreign devils have to surrender when they see it. Dong Liang said.

"Yes, the emperor is talented. God bless me in the Qing Dynasty, and I finally realized the emperor's painstaking efforts to ask us to practice running. Fan Tianhao said.

"Don't give me any, it's tight. This time, the emperor attaches great importance to the civil strife in Chao Xian, and the Chao Xian Kingdom is a subject state of my Qing Dynasty. Today, the civil strife is all caused by the Japanese. If the civil strife between Korea and Hyun succeeds, it will surely become a vassal state of Japan. It's tantamount to robbing my son of the Qing Dynasty, if someone robs your son, what should you do? Dong Liang said excitedly.

"Damn, Lao Tzu cut his eggs. If you want your son not to give birth by yourself, what kind of ability is it to rob others. Fan Tianhao shouted.

"Now the two battalions of General Wu Ping's headquarters stationed in Chao Xian have lost contact with the imperial court, and the situation ahead is unknown. After the army reached the port of Incheon, General Ben wanted to send a battalion of men and horses as the vanguard of the army. Pave the way for the march of the great army, which of you will go? Dong Liang said.

"Leave it to me, my brothers are going crazy. Guaranteed to pave the way for the Great Army. It was Fan Tianhao who shouted loudly.

While shouting, he gave Mao Weimin a look. It means give it to me this time, and let you be a pioneer next time. Mao Weimin could only laugh when he saw this.

"Well, tell the brethren. If you encounter a large Japanese army, you should not fall in love with the war. Immediately retreated, their task was to find out the situation. It is not a decisive battle with the enemy. Dong Liang knew the temper of these people, and when he saw the battle. I forgot any orders, the guy in my hand is good, no matter how many people there are on the other side. Dare to fight against each other. So hurry up and remind.

"Yes, General."

Finally, the troop carrier landed in the port of Incheon. One after another, the officers and men assembled on the beach to listen to instructions. The four ships 'Yang Wei', 'Chao Yong', 'Chang Sheng', and 'Undefeated' dropped anchor one nautical mile from the port. Alerted in four directions.

"Damn, where is Liu San, the rabbit cub? Call him to me. Fan Tianhao shouted at his own soldiers.

"Chirp"

After a while, Liu San ran over. "Biaotong, are you looking for me?"

"Tell you, stinky boy. You are lucky, I boasted in front of the general. I took a fat difference from Lao Mao, and I cheapened you. Your battalion will be the vanguard of the great army, clearing the way for the great army. Call me all the way to Seoul. Fan Tianhao said excitedly.

"Really? Thank you, General. You see, if Lao Tzu meets the Japanese. It's all cleaned up. Liu San's eyes lit up.

Fan Tianhao suddenly thought of Dong Liang's advice, so he said: "Now the situation ahead is unknown, according to the intelligence of the imperial court." Japan has already increased its troops to 10,000. If you encounter a large number of Japanese troops, you should not fall in love with the battle. Evacuate as soon as you find out what is going on, and if you encounter a small group of enemies. You have to give Lao Tzu a long face. ”

"Got it, shall we leave now?" Liu San couldn't wait to say.

"Wait, you go and assemble the troops first, and General Dong will personally come to see you off." Fan Tianhao said.

After a while, a force of five hundred men was neatly lined up at the front of the beach. Dong Liang slowly walked towards them, accompanied by several personal soldiers and Fan Tianhao.

"The eighth battalion of the fourth standard of Dong Liang's department has been assembled, please instruct the general." Liu San shouted.

"Brothers, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. The emperor is using us now, which is our blessing. It's also our duty. Now the Japanese occupy Korea and Xian, causing civil strife. Once a new government is formed, it will no longer be a subject of our Qing Dynasty. The emperor just said during the military parade on the outskirts of Beijing that our Qing Dynasty can't defeat others, so foreigners always want to occupy our land. Now that the foreigners are coming to rob our son again, we have to use the robbery in our hands to answer the foreigners, we are not easy to bully in the Qing Dynasty. Dong Liang shouted loudly.

"Tell the general, who is the strongest?" Liu San yelled beside him.

"I'm the strongest." A shout drowned out the sound of the waves that had just crashed. In front of this army, the waves seem so small.

"Okay, but the situation ahead is unclear now, in order to facilitate the smooth entry of the army into Seoul. Your battalion will be the vanguard of the great army, and now I issue the following military order. 1. Those who retreat from the battle, slash! Second, those who do not listen to orders will be killed! 3. Those who rape women, beheaded! Fourth, rob the financial person, behead! Fifth, those who delay the military situation will be killed! Do you understand everything? Dong Liang said five times in a row, and he didn't even frown. He knew that he didn't tighten the reins now. Once this army of tigers and wolves escapes, I don't know how much trouble it will bring.

"Command," Liu San knelt down on one knee and said.

When Liu San led a battalion of men and horses to set off, it was already dusk. Night had just fallen, which was just a sign of concealment of their whereabouts, but it was also inconvenient for them. It is impossible to quickly find out the truth and find out the situation. If the enemy troops are not discovered, waiting for the army to enter the ambush will be doomed.

So he also moved forward slowly, carefully, little by little.

On the other hand, the Japanese had already received the news that the Qing Dynasty had increased its troops to Korea. However, it is not known how many people came, and at this time there were only more than 4,000 troops stationed in Seoul. It was the Nakata Wing of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Far East Army of the Japanese Army, and the wing leader was called Koji Nakata.

After receiving the news that the Qing State was increasing its troops to Korea, Koji Nakata immediately sent the most elite Takeda Brigade to the west to search. If you encounter Qing troops, put pressure on them to know that Seoul is not to be approached. Or delay their march into Seoul and, if necessary, deal a fatal blow.

The Takeda Brigade, totaling more than 800 people, received the order and headed west for a carpet search. Seeing an encounter unfold......

After two days of continuous searching, Takeda had left Seoul for more than 300 kilometers. I didn't notice the Qing troops, because I didn't know where the Qing troops landed from. Takeda didn't dare to insert it too deeply, and if he was cut off, he would be in trouble. So they found the village and stationed it in place, and sent the second squadron to continue the search.

The second squadron leader is called Yoshikawa Hengtai, who is cautious and cautious, and lacks courage. When leading the team to search in the dark, he always used the front seven people to hold torches. The large force slowly advanced about fifty meters behind it. That night, he continued to search......

"Battalion commander, you see, there are torches ahead. Looks like there are only a few people! A pro-soldier reported to Liu San.

"Damn, I thought there were big fish. Ah, it's not enough for a few people to stuff their teeth. Liu San said depressedly.

"Battalion commander, could it be a rat with a big head in the back?" A pro-soldier reminded.

Liu San's eyes immediately lit up, and his eyes rolled. I already have an idea in my head.

"Go, give me orders. The first and second companies went up from the left and right and copied them behind to see the situation. The rest of the people scattered here with me, ready to fight. Liu San ordered.

"Wow."

When the 2nd Squadron of the Japanese Army searched for a position only a hundred meters away from Liu San, it suddenly stopped. It's not that I've found anything, but I'm going to go back after completing today's search mission.

Liu San saw it clearly, the seven or eight spearheads were dotted with Japanese, but at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, he couldn't figure out how many people there were. Seeing that the fat in his mouth was about to run away, could he not be in a hurry, but the two companies of men and horses had just gone out in a roundabout way, and they had not sent back any information, and the encirclement had not been numbered, and now the risk of launching an attack was quite high. I didn't figure out how many people there were on the other side, and there were more than 100 people around me, if the other party came to counterattack, I would really be here if I couldn't do it.

Sometimes the fighter plane changes so quickly that if you miss it, you will never be there. Liu San weighed the pros and cons, and looked at the Japanese posture, as if he didn't know that we were here, and it was not an ordinary patrol. It's like I'm looking for something. If it's a patrol force, it's really hard to fight, and there are troops patrolling here, either a large army is stationed or the headquarters is located. But if it's a search force, the number should not be much. Damn, Lao Tzu is out of the way. There is no reason not to eat fat meat to the mouth.

"Go, inform the first company, the second company, and Lao Tzu to fire here first. Let them tie the back of the mouth tightly, and don't let go of a single Japanese. In addition, a warning post will be released to the southeast, and any abnormalities will be reported immediately. Liu San said urgently.

"Wow."

Just as the Japanese were about to go back, suddenly gunfire rang out from behind. Yoshikawa Hengtai was the first to react, "Lie down, all lie down"

In the darkness, he saw tongues of fire erupting from time to time in the woods in front of him, illuminating a meter or so around him as they erupted. It's the Qing ** team! Because the Qing army had big tree shelters in the woods, and they were on an open road, with no shelter around, they panicked when they watched the soldiers around them fall one by one. If you shoot at each other in this situation, it is tantamount to looking for death.

He made up his mind and immediately organized the remaining two hundred or so people around him to charge into the woods. He knew that if he continued to shoot, he would not be able to take advantage. Judging by the gunfire on the opposite side, there should not be many people. It is better to organize a charge in hand-to-hand combat.

At a distance of more than a hundred meters, a charge only takes more than twenty seconds. When Liu San saw it, he was really afraid of something. The first time he led the troops to the battle, he encountered a hard stubble. At this moment, two companies of men and horses who had gone out in a roundabout way suddenly flashed out from both sides of the road and attacked the left and right, beating the Japanese who rushed up into a sieve. When Liu San saw it, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered the whole army to attack. Catch a few live interrogations.
