Suchuanli, A.D. 1**4 August 30 early morning.

The rustling of footsteps, stepping on the blood-stained ground, stepping on the corpses, stepping on the broken bayonets, stepping on the discarded guns, just keep moving forward!

Thousands of officers and soldiers, up to Xu Yifan, down to the lowest-level soldiers, only saw one line after another, under the faintly lit sky, advancing towards the battle line of the Yue army spitting tongues of fire!

The rain swept by like a wind, and from time to time someone fell to the ground, but the advancement of this human wave never stopped.

Several Canglong flags, held in front of the queue, hunting and dancing in the wind, with countless gunsmoke bullet marks on them, but the Canglong with its claws and teeth stretched out was like a living thing, showing all its posture to the front of the opposing army!

The war dragon is in the wild, and its blood is yellow.

The mountains and rivers of Korea, at this moment, seem to be occupied by these foreign warriors in the name of the Praetorian Guard. From this early morning to 2,000 years, countless Chinese warriors have fought bloody battles in this land, the Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty armor, and the spear and halberd of the Ming Liaodong Iron Cavalry have all shone with dazzling cold light in the countless dawns of the past 2,000 years, just like the flashing light of thousands of bayonets today!

Xu Yifan was in the queue, thousands of people advanced at the same time, and the kind of pressing momentum made him almost forget the inevitable fear of the first battle, at this time, all he had in his heart was anger.

Well, I am the only one who is desperately raising military funds, organizing and training a new army, defending North Korea to the death, and trying my best to bring this nation a different First Sino-Japanese War.

Well, I didn't expect Yang Shixiang and Ye Zhichao to do such a thing at this juncture of the national war.

Well, it was me and my young staff who were a little too dismissive of the advance of the army from the Eastern Front. I wanted to annihilate the Fifth Division too much, take the initiative in my hands as soon as possible, and use the power too much, but it was a bit too much......

……

But why was the army, which had nearly 50,000 completely modernized equipment in his Praetorian Guard, forced to such a point by the two divisions of the army? The Central Empire, which is dozens of times larger than this small neighbor in the east, and has been eating this small border island to death for the past two thousand years, is facing such a situation in this Jiawu year? In his time and space, in a few decades, the fortune of the nation has almost touched the bottom? Is it me Xu Yifan who is wrong, or is this so-called Huanghuang Qing Dynasty wrong?

I firmly believe that I have not made the wrong path!

This path has come to this point, and it is impossible for him to retreat in the slightest!

A different Jiawu, the national luck of the next hundred years may be in the cold light shining with this bayonet! He was so fortunate to have come from a white-collar worker full of untimely waste wood to this vast and turbulent three-thousand-year-old great change, and to be in the company of such an excellent young man of this era, walking in the same charging queue!

Goshha beside him, the Praetorian Guard officer, had already desperately squeezed in front of him in advance, overtaking him, the pacesetter, and forming wave after wave of human lines. He began to rush forward with all his might, and then found that the crowd in front of him deliberately blocked him to death, and kept squeezing him back in the position of the dense skirmish, and his Goshha almost formed a circle around him, Pu Yanghu followed him closely, and there was a Chen De in front of him, who couldn't help but turn around, as if he was ready to pounce him to the ground at any time. Looking in front of you, back and around, left and right, there are all surging Praetorian Guards' big-brimmed hats and young and determined faces. Overhead, a rain of bullets whizzing overhead, and on the opposite side were fluttering smoke and flashes of light—barely visible.

In the midst of the crowd, his vision was so limited that he was almost like a blind man, staggering around with protection.

The sound of bullets burrowing into the human body in front of him suddenly became dense, and Pu Yang pulled Xu Yifan violently, and he was about to press him. Xu Yifan shook his arm hard: "You fucking rush forward!" What are you doing with Lao Tzu? Why are you still moving forward, the devil's guns are about to hit our heads! ”

Pu Yang looked at him with red eyes-all bloodshot: "My lord, I don't need you to go up, you are the purple gold beam of our Qing Dynasty!" Someone does the hard work! ”

Xu Yifan ignored him and shouted loudly in the crowd of people who were protecting him: "Zhang Xuzhou, you can't fuck it, Lao Tzu!" Goshha just hugged him tightly, surrounded him to the death, and moved forward as fast as she could. was so anxious that Xu Yifan kicked and hit.

At this moment, a shout was heard at the front of the queue: "Praetorian Guard, advance!" Pick them to death! For the sake of Lord Xu, move forward! ”

A loud roar still didn't fall, and the roars around Ying He rang out at the same time, all of which were squeezed out of the chest. The front of this dense straggler line had already reached the front of the chest wall of the Yue army, only sixty or seventy meters, and it was already on the hillside. At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and you could see a dense crowd on the top of the hillside, in front of which was the Canglong Banner flying, bullets swept over, and rows of Praetorian Guards rolled to the ground. And Zhang Xuzhou's tall figure has already come out of the crowd, took over the Canglong Banner, and raised his arms and shouted!

The sound of whistling from the head of the team to the end of the team, the sound of the mountains and valleys, shook people's minds, and they forgot everything, the dense skirmish line at the front had changed from easy steps to attacking steps, and the crowd was like an avalanche collapsing upwards, roaring and charging upwards at the highest speed they could reach! The shooting of the chest wall of the army seemed to know that this was his last madness, and all kinds of heart-rending cries fell from above, and the rain of bullets poured down, but at this time, no matter how many people fell and rolled down, more people kept surging upward!

This is a bloody road filled out with life!

Xu Yifan was squeezed behind, since he couldn't move forward, he could only watch his Praetorian Guards desperately move forward, and then he saw a few black flying thunders rolling down with sparks, and they exploded, shaking everyone away, but the people behind did not hesitate at all, and rushed into the still thick gunsmoke, Xu Yifan and Lord Xu were charging with them, every officer stood in front, what reason did everyone have to retreat?

The Qing Dynasty is the only Praetorian Guard!

When the flying thunder rolled down, Pu Yang had already kicked Xu Yifan, and then pressed on him, Chen De and the others also pounced, and the debris and dirt splashed by the explosion fell a lot here. The explosion disappeared, and Xu Yifan was already struggling to get up underneath. A few pairs of hands were already rushing to pull him: "My lord, are you okay?" ”

At this time, the shouting and fighting voices of both sides were already heard above, mixing together and enveloping the entire battlefield. The sound of bayonets colliding sounded earth-shatteringly, and it was impossible to tell what the two sides were shouting, and some were just roaring voices squeezed out of the chest!

Xu Yifan was pulled up, and a few pairs of hands were about to pull him and run back, Xu Yifan kicked Pu Yang and Chen De, who were closest to him, a few times, and the strength to eat milk was taken out. The two guys hit the big scalp boots, and they still pressed his head without humming and were about to pull him backwards. Dozens of Goshha were rigidly surrounded by the outer circle, their waists were straight, and they tried their best to expand their surface of the bomb, and they didn't want Xu Yifan to get a little bit of anything.

Xu Yifan scolded a few words, and shouted out, as if he had calmed down a little. The blood surging in his chest just now made him almost forget that he was in the queue of this charge, and this was the first time he had gone to the battlefield in person! Looking back, the crowd of people was still surging forward endlessly, and these extremely tired Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers, no one looked back, and they were scrambling to move forward.

By the time he understood that he couldn't go up, Xu Yifan had already been pulled out more than 200 meters, and he didn't know how many kicks he had been kicked by Xu Yifan. In the end, even the gun in his hand was snatched away. When they arrived at a place with a natural shallow ditch, they hurriedly pressed Xu Yifan into the ditch, and dozens of people squatted and knelt in front of him.

Xu Yifan leaned on the ground, took a few breaths, and pointed straight ahead: "Go up, use every bayonet, and completely defeat the devil!" Pu Yang, Chen De, if you stay here again, Lao Tzu will kill you without saying a word! Pick ten devils for me! ”

At this time, I could see that the green tendons on the necks of these guys were jumping suddenly, and when they turned their heads to look up, the smoke had dispersed a lot, and the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard had already crossed the chest wall of the Japanese army to shoot at the fortifications, and even the wounded soldiers were desperately crawling there! The crowd shouted and poured up like a flood that burst the embankment, the Praetorian Guards in yellow uniforms and the army in black uniforms had become a mess, one side was desperately trying to break through, the other side was making desperate resistance, and the Canglong Banner of the Praetorian Guards was erected at the breakthrough several times, and was pushed down several times.

Pu Yang yelled: "Leave half of the people to be optimistic about the adults, and the rest of the people will follow me!" The surname is Chen, do you dare to go up? ”

Chen De has never shown any face by Xu Yifan's side, and he is originally a brave and ruthless practitioner. Such a battlefield, such a bloody battle, it has long been impossible to hold back, a rifle, no matter what others do, rushed forward by himself! Pu Yang scolded and led the team to follow. Xu Yifan only gasped at this time and leaned against the shallow ditch wall, scolding and asking his Goshha to get out of the way. From his distance, the battlefield was in front of him, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, the cold light of bayonets was shining all over the hillside, and the battlefield was full of corpses.

The Janissary Left Association really didn't have any troops left, and all of them were filled into these two highlands that could only accommodate two thousand people at most. From officers to soldiers, groom handymen, machine gun shooters, signal soldiers, all filled in! The shouting and killing sound on the battlefield seemed to make the whole of Korea tremble, and under the guidance of the Canglong Banner, the Praetorian Guards desperately wanted to cross the ridge line of these two highlands, push the Yue army down, and crush it! White-knuckle battles are breaking out everywhere, the army screamed, and was gradually swept and swallowed by the Praetorian Guard, they did their best to fight to the death, they also knew that once they retreated here, there was no danger to defend in Anzhou, and they could rush to reach it in a few hours, and the main force of the third division would be pressed by the Praetorian Guards in this narrow area and annihilated!

Under Xu Yifan's personal gaze, the Yue army finally collapsed slowly and irrepressibly, they were gradually pushed up the ridge line, and then they were pressed down, and then the collapse of the entire front, the officers and soldiers who had fought so fiercely dropped their rifles, turned around and ran. A dejected, bloodied officer stood on the ridge and raised his pistol to his head before a few bayonets reached for him.

In order to prevent the flag from falling, he used the weight of his whole body to firmly insert the flag on the ground, and the whole person, like a solidified sculpture, became one with the mountain!

More Praetorian Guards officers and soldiers crossed him, roaring over the high ground that had stood in front of them, and the army was collapsing, fleeing, and being crushed!

Suchuan is a pass, and it was broken through by the Praetorian Guards in one fell swoop!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Kawakami pressed his arm, and under the protection of a group of chaotic officers and soldiers, he retreated, and behind them, some officers and men of the 18th Wing, under the command of the officers, carried out pinning fire to cover the retreat of the few defeated soldiers.

The Praetorian Guards were red-eyed and kept following the pursuit, sweeping in the direction of Anzhou. A small number of barely organized detachments that were pinning down and covering were overwhelmed by the Janissaries of the brigade in the blink of an eye. Later, the Yue army no longer had the slightest courage to resist, and just ran wildly like the Yue Sheng army.

In their minds, there is one last bit of hope, Anzhou may have fallen by the two wings commanded by Katsura Taro at this time, relying on that, they can still reorganize the defense line and block these Qing Praetorian Guards who are crazy to the extreme!

Kawakami followed the scattered team in a daze, looking around, the army that could still escape in the direction of Anzhou was only two or three hundred people, and almost all of them lost all the will to resist. He didn't understand how he had been brought down, and how he had been protected and retreated.

He had a whole wing, there was quite a lot of ammunition, and the fortifications were built. The Praetorian Guards on the opposite side were also exhausted, the first attack was repulsed, why did they launch a second attack so quickly. And it's even more ferocious than last time, as if there is a mountain in front of them, and they can also knock it down! Those fluttering dragon flags, and the bayonets surging like waves under the flags, are simply a nightmare!

He knew the Qing army too well, and in order to study this opponent, he spent the best time of more than ten years, immersed himself in it, collecting, organizing, observing, analyzing, and calculating. The boss empire and his army on the other side, he knew too well what it was. Sheng Jun, even Nie Shicheng's Feng Army, was completely expected by him. Why, this Praetorian Guard is different, in just two years, it has risen to Haidong, and it is such a terrible enemy?

Could it be that the empire was wrong from the beginning? As long as there is a person in the other nation who is awake, that is, the empire that they have gambled on cannot shake? They were the masters of East Asia in the past, and no matter how difficult and sleepy they will be in the future, as long as they wake up, they will still be the masters of East Asia?

Thinking of this, Kawakami felt bored, and just numbly retreated with the flow of people. Bullets whizzed over their heads, and he didn't bother to care.

Anzhou, he doesn't have the illusions of those deserters around him. Katsura Taro has not sent a herald to report the news of the fall of Anshu, presumably still fighting. The Praetorian Guards broke through Suchuanli so quickly, and the main force of the Third Division had been pressed in this small area, and the Praetorian Guards were biting them tightly, even if the enemy retreated, there was no doubt that the main force of the Third Division was annihilated.

In North Korea, the army was completely defeated!

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to take out the pistol in his waist and give himself a head to it. Bet everything and lose everything...... I don't know if Your Excellency Ito still has the power to return to heaven?

I really want to see it......

The bullets got closer and closer, and the shouts of the Praetorian Guards became louder and louder. The small team around him also began to crumble, and more and more people abandoned everything and fled in all directions. Kawakami Yoroku slowly stood still, turned around, and looked at the high ground he had once guarded, on it, there was a small Canglong banner fluttering, and the Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers in yellow uniforms had approached him only a hundred meters away, and in front of him was a young man who looked like an officer, his sleeves rolled high, covered in blood, so tired that he couldn't even straighten his waist, but he still held his rifle and rushed towards them! Behind him, the same tired, but equally stoic soldiers!

The Janissaries of the brigade and brigade have been advancing in the direction of Anzhou like the wind, regardless of the formation.

What a shame to lose......

On August 30, the fourth year of A.D., Lieutenant General Kawakami, who was known as the defeated general of Xu Yifan's life, was killed in battle. The 18th Wing of the Suchuan Li Army was almost completely wiped out, and the flag of the wing fell into the hands of the Praetorian Guard.

And after the Janissary Left Association broke through Suchuanli, regardless of the casualties, fatigue and confusion, continued to advance towards Anzhou! In this attack, the Left Association suffered more than 1,600 casualties and suffered great losses.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

A fast horse galloped like a gallop and ran towards Xu Yifan, who was resting on the left side of the road.

Suchuanli broke through, and the Left Association attacked and advanced in the direction of Anzhou without stopping, and the combat effectiveness of the Left Association had been used to the limit. Li Yun has been in the middle of the army, and he has no care about sorting out the system, and he has brought the units that can be grasped in his hands, urging them to continue to advance. Xu Yifan also desperately wanted to follow, but when he took the lead in joining the charge, the big guys didn't feel anything at that time, but now except for Xu Yifan, everyone was afraid to come out, Li Yunzong gave Pu Yang them a death order before leaving, even if they all died, they couldn't let Xu Yifan get close to the front line again!

These Goshha protected Xu Yifan, no matter how much he scolded or beaten, he took out a gun and threatened to kill someone. is to escort him forward slowly, a few hours have passed, and there are still more than ten or twenty miles away from Anzhou.

And Xu Yifan is indeed extremely tired. He could not compare to those officers and soldiers who were honed every day, who had not rested for so long and experienced such a tragic attack. The slower he walked, the slower he became, except for the surrounding Goshha and a group of infantry who had been left behind to protect him, the figure in front of him was also invisible. No matter how worried about the safety of Anzhou, I can only think about it at this time. Later simply put everything aside.

"Lao Tzu has done everything he can do anyway, and the thing that is such a king as taking the lead in charging is hard, and the rest is nothing more than a matter of fate......"

As soon as he was about to rest, the fearful Goshkhas were as happy as something. Pu Yang and Chen De put the captured flag of the 18th Wing of the Devil on the ground for him to sit on, and went around looking for water. In the early hours of the morning, these two boys overturned a few devils, and Chen De killed one more. Originally, he couldn't straighten his waist in front of Pu Yang, but now he dares to take the front sometimes.

Xu Yifan sat down when he saw Chuanqi coming. He stood up with a brush, staring at the cavalryman, and his mind was dizzy when he saw the young man's excited look. Is Anju still there? In his imagination, the worst-case scenario is that Anzhou falls, but if the devil is not given a chance to gain a foothold in Anzhou, how can he keep the back road unblocked-as for the supplies in Anzhou, let him go, just ask the Praetorian Guards to advance and retreat freely. Relying on Anju's plan to influence the domestic war, let's plan slowly.

Along the way, I could already faintly hear the dense gunfire in the distance, but I didn't know what the battle situation was. He was too tired to think about it anymore.

Could it be that Anzhou was actually saved under the attack of the two army wings?

The cavalryman jumped off his horse, ran in front of Xu Yifan, and handed over a piece of paper with both hands. Xu Yifan snatched it over, opened his eyes wide and wanted to see it, but he felt that a small black dot was flying in front of him, and he couldn't see it clearly. He pressed his temple, took a deep breath, and brought his eyes closer again.

“…… Arrived in Anzhou at 11 o'clock, the city still did not fall, and the military resources were unharmed! Lord Yuan arrived before the Japanese army, packed up the army's heart, rectified the war preparations, collected the embers of the Sheng army, and defeated thousands of defeated troops with a thousand new soldiers, and fought several bloody battles. Lord Weiting was wounded in several places, and his fingers were severed to motivate his subordinates, so as to protect the back road of my Praetorian Guards! The enemy's 3rd Division, under the imminent attack of our troops, had no choice but to take the rear guard to cover the combat situation, take the northeast, and retreat by detour, and its panic and embarrassment were close to collapse! Our troops are tired, and the remnants of the Japanese army are less than 2,000, even if they can retreat to the area of departure from the attack between Wanshan and North Korea, and the survivors are unknown! Our army broke through our eastern front, broke through several passes in a row, destroyed the Nie Division, and the tiger and wolf division of the Sheng Army was no longer capable of fighting! In the Korean war, I have won a complete victory, but the south can be the north, and the army will no longer be able to disturb and block half of our troops!

Serving in Anzhou, rectifying the army of the long war, how to forge ahead, I would like to follow the orders of the Lord......

Praetorian Guard, always victorious and undefeated! ”

The strokes on the paper, as if you want to break the paper, seem to have the smell of gunsmoke. Xu Yifan's hand shook, and he firmly grasped the piece of paper, and the weight was so heavy that he seemed to be a little unable to hold it.

He finally broke through the two divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, and firmly grasped the initiative in the Korean war!

As for how to use this advantageous position to exert influence on the domestic war and political situation, he is not willing to think about it at all. There was only one voice left in my head.

The victory of this war was won by Lao Tzu himself! It was bought by the deaths and wounds of countless Praetorian Guards! He didn't do anything wrong, he really brought history a different Jiawu!
