A column of 350 cavalry and 590 infantry penetrated straight from Song Qing's Yi Army and the Janissary Army's Third Town Reserve Army led by Nie Shicheng, and pointed straight to Tianzhuang Terrace. The head of the Yi army camp was silent, and as for the reserve army, Nie Shicheng didn't care much about this ragtag team composed of the Beiyang Gong Guards who broke out of Lushun Jinzhou - although they were called Praetorian Guards. But there is really not much time to rectify this team, although Li Hongzhang has fallen, this team is a little self-effective, but it will take time to really rectify into the system. This time, Nie Shicheng made up his mind and was ready to repay Xu Yifan with death. This miscellaneous team can't manage so much.

With less than a thousand troops, they had to pounce on the Tianzhuang Terrace, and then cross the Liao River by force, and plunge into the depths of the army-no one thought that they would be able to come back alive!

"Dismount, pack your gear, and get ready for battle!"

The marching column had reached the starting position. Hearing the order whispered from the front, the officers and men dismounted one after another, silently began to sort out their weapons and ammunition, and the cavalry also hung material bags on the horse's ears and loosened the belly belt. The whole army, from front to back, no one spoke. Li Yunzong, Nie Shicheng, Jiang Ziming and several other senior officers quickly climbed the hill. Raise your binoculars to see what is going on in front of you.

The fires caused by the fighting during the day have all been extinguished by the Japanese army. The clouds in the sky were many months and a half, hiding everything in the dark. Even with a sophisticated Zeiss telescope, you can only see a swarthy outline of the town of Zhuangtai in the night. The Liao River flowed behind the town. A convenient pontoon bridge lies on the river, moving lightly with the waves.

In the past time, the two armies of China and China fought repeatedly around this key point on the west bank of the Liao River, advancing and retreating several times. In the past, the bustling towns with a population of tens of thousands have long since become ghosts, and most of the houses have been destroyed. All that floated in the air was the smell of burnt human flesh. Broken bricks and large trees formed a deer chest wall, which surrounded the town one by one. Tens of thousands of Qing troops counterattacked, although they were approaching in person, but the army front was still intact, such a neat situation, these more than 1,000 people collided, everyone knew what the consequences were!

Li Yun held the binoculars, adjusted the focus, and scanned everything in front of him over and over again. Jiang Ziming and Nie Shicheng didn't look at it much, and talked and laughed in a low voice.

"Gongting, you lead the infantry, I still lead my cavalry. When the fight starts later, the brother will favor you. Rush first with the cavalry, you follow, how? ”

"Anyway, it's all a life-saving job, so it's not the same who goes first? Brother Jiang, can you rush through so many deer chest walls? ”

"No matter how much you have to rush! Could it be that you went back to see the handsome? ”

The two of them talked and laughed in a low voice, and they made up their minds, and it was no longer an irrelevant matter how they would end. Nie Shicheng looked at Li Yunzong's serious observation demeanor, and even felt a little redundant. It's nothing more than bumping into it, and it's just death!

In the current situation, as a man who has been rolling in officialdom for many years, he also understands a little in his heart. Although he didn't want to think about it, he asked himself, the best choice was to preserve his strength and drive Song Qingyi Ketang A to attack upward. Whether he can attack it or not, as long as he has the strength in hand, what happened to Xu Yifan in the imperial court? But tonight, for a chance to win, Xu Yifan put half of his family on the line!

It's not about soldiers, but about Li Yunzong, Jiang Ziming and other officers. This family background was saved little by little by Xu Yifan like a swallow. Sacrificing half of the senior cadres at once would be a huge blow to any group. Xu Yifan did this, looking at his expression, as long as possible, he didn't even hesitate to fill it in!

In the Huanghuang Qing Dynasty, when the armies avoided the war, he turned to fight for 3,000 miles in Korea. When the whole world falls, he is the only one who does not descend. When the battle situation gradually improved, and all parties began to have different arms, he was the only one who still tried his best to win the final victory, and did whatever it takes! Why is this one the only one who treats this national war so sincerely?

Only such a handsome man can make people willing to die.

"Zuo Guanting, when you died, you didn't have no resentment. Now my brother has come to follow you, but he has no worries......"

Just when his expression was elegant, Li Yunzong suddenly pointed forward with his right hand, and his voice was low: "The devil is really preparing to retreat!" Great handsome! ”

Nie Shicheng and Jiang Ziming were shocked, and they raised their binoculars in unison. looked intently in the direction that Li Yunzong was pointing.

Nie Shicheng is a general on the front line, but these soldiers under his command, not to mention the Praetorian Guard, can't even catch up with his old troops. The Praetorian Guard's combat doctrine is to always maintain contact with the enemy when facing the enemy. Constantly carry out armed reconnaissance patrols, maintain contact with the enemy forces on the front line at any time, and have an endless stream of battlefield intelligence. In North Korea, the movement of the battlefield is always controlled. Xu Yifan can take the risk of leaping into Anzhou. But whether it is the Yi Army, or the Jilin Training Army, or the newly formed Continuation Army. They were all reluctantly pinched together by Xu Yifan after defeat. During the day, there are guns and cannons, and there are many brave people, and they can also attack. At night, all the troops were collected and returned to the camp, and they were always in contact, and I had never heard of such a thing. At night today, the army front was actually slightly louder, and Nie Shicheng ordered the generals to select the front to go out to reconnoitre, and the rewards were all tired and unbearable, and the sky would be clear. When Nie Shicheng was about to send his own soldiers out, Xu Yifan's order had already been passed over.

Now they had reached the nearest starting point, under the field of view of the high-powered telescopes, although it was still dark at night. But there are always some signs!

The front of the Grange Terrace is silent. But on the pontoon bridge behind the town, there are dots, small white dots that are connected together! It was the night operation of the army, and the white cloth strips on the backpack. Even on the Liao River, there are large white dots shaking. It was said that the army was wading back and forth in the shallow water. Such a large-scale nighttime transfer was unexpectedly silent. But the army is preparing to retreat, and it is already in front of you!

The three of them stared blankly at the scene in front of them, and they all breathed.

Although they were ordered to make a decisive attack, in their hearts, the three of them were a little suspicious of Xu Yifan's sudden decision. Because from the perspective of military common sense, it is unreasonable to say that the army retreats and returns to Lushun Jinzhou. The turtle retracted, just putting on a stubborn posture. There is no doubt that if the main force is said to return to defense, it can be said that it will be difficult to attack based on Jinzhou Lushun alone. But war is not about how long you can hold on to one place. All actions in war must serve the purpose of gaining the initiative in war. Retreating back is tantamount to giving up the initiative in the war in southern Liaoning, and the army has no room for maneuver. In this case, even if the Golden State Lushun is defended for a hundred years, it will not help this war!

The decisive battle is on the spot, and there is a glimmer of possibility of victory. If you retreat and go back, if you don't have the vitality to join, there is no chance of winning!

The three of them looked at each other, shocked by the accuracy of Xu Yifan's prediction, and all kinds of thoughts poured into their minds at once.

"The devil withdrew to delay this war......"

"What's the benefit of dragging it out? They can't win anyway! ”

"Dragging the marshal here, spending time outside, the court can start...... Their enemy is no longer the Qing Dynasty, but our Dashuai! With this national fortune, if there is no handsome man alone, they can make a comeback at any time! ”

"The marshal can go, the Praetorian Guard is in hand, go back to North Korea, go to Liangjiang, who can help us?"

"The handsome is gone, what should the devil do?"

"If the handsome man goes, the devil can at least strive for better conditions in the peace talks......"

"Fuck, do the devils and the court have a tacit understanding to deal with us together! Our enemies, outside or inside! ”

The three of them looked at each other, and in the end, they all smiled.

Xu Yifan can go, he can watch, and he can protect his strength, but in this situation of internal and external pressure, he still chose to fight! Three thousand years of Chinese luck is endless. In the darkest times, there are always people who hold on to that little bit of fire, that little bit of hope.

Nie Shicheng said with a smile: "The devil is withdrawing, how far can we, a thousand people, fight?" ”

Jiang Ziming smacked his lips: "There are too few of us, so we just took advantage of the sudden impact of this chaotic change of defense, and we crossed the Liao River and rushed to Niuzhuang." It's already skyrocketing! Brother Gongting, our cavalry is fast on four legs, so let's go first. Brother is waiting for you in front, and when the time comes, we will go on the road hand in hand. ”

Li Yunzong looked to the northeast with a tense face, which was the first line of the big stone bridge guarded by Chu Wanli. He took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.

The night breeze is like a knife, but there is only the purest fire in my heart. Yan Huang Zhi, died here. Now and then, I am worthy of it.

The handsome are worthy of it, and they are also worthy of it.

"Let's break the devil, this chaos, Chu Wanli is vigilant, he can find out. As long as the more chaos we cause to the devils, the smoother Chu Wanli's attack from the north will be! Everyone, we didn't die in vain! Prepare - Attack! ”

"Everyone, see you in the next life!"

October 11, 14th A.D.

Tianjin.

Since the semi-public residency in Tianjin, Zhang Peilun and Tang Shaoyi have not stopped meeting guests.

Li Hongzhang stepped down, and the entire Beiyang people were panicked. The latecomers do not have the prestige and ability to control the overall situation like Li Hongzhang. The army and navy, which are the capital, have now been beaten to pieces. The news from the capital kept coming, and it was quite ominous. The imperial court is already preparing to receive Beiyang, even if it can't receive it all, at least it has to dig up enough corners.

In the past, the big guys weren't too worried. There are also many ups and downs in the old middle hall. In the end, the court still demanded to come to his door, and the word "heavy minister" was not said in vain. Lao Zhongtang is the mainstay of North China and the most important son of the balance of the dynasty!

But now the situation is unimaginably chaotic, and Xu Yifan has risen like a comet. Externally, Xu Yifan can be a little. The imperial court did not have the power to balance him, so it could only speed up its movements and quickly digest Beiyang in the hands of the imperial court. With the strength of Beiyang, Xu Yifan can be restrained. There are also slight rumors in the capital, saying that when Xu Yifan was in Jinzhou, Lao Zhongtang suppressed the telegram of the imperial court, so that Xu Yifan now controls the situation in southern Liaoning. The big guys have stumbled and complained that the old hall is confused. You put on a posture that you don't deal with Xu Yifan all the time! If this is the case, now Xu Yifan is very difficult to control, and the court may not want to invite Lao Zhongtang to go out of the mountain. Now it's better for you, let the court not dare to use it if you want to, just attack Beiyang yourself!

The big guy has been in charge of Beiyang for so many years, and the silver river has passed through his hands like a river. Yanjing City was hot-eyed, but it didn't get much benefit. Now a group of red-eyed guys are running around in the capital division, trying to find a position in Beiyang. The big guys have to go home and eat themselves!

If you have fished enough, you pretend to be open and say that you want to return it. Those who are destined to be unlucky, especially those who are in charge of money, are full of scratches one by one. The one who led the troops was thinking about whether the new master would serve him or not. But there is one thing that everyone has in common, all up and down Beiyang are busy looking for a way and a new backer! All kinds of people, some went to the capital to sprinkle silver to show their loyalty, and some exchanged letters and telegrams with governors and governors in various places to discuss the price of refuge. Xu Yifan, as a newly rising representative, Zhang Peilun and Tang Shaoyi's path is not less popular. But the performance of the two is generally low-key, and none of the characters who lead the troops visit or accept their posts. It is concentrated in Li Hongzhang's curtain to manage money, especially those professionals who are second- and third-rate in the Beiyang system. The hand is not very large, and there are no promises. The big guys are talking about it, Xu Yifan really chose the wrong representative! A clear stream, a young child in the United States, don't understand the depth of the water in Beiyang!

In fact, Xu Yifan only recently learned that the two of them swaggered to Tianjin. But it was also a smile, just instructing Tang Shaoyi to spend some money, and reimburse it for the actual amount, and there was no limit. His private residence in Tianjin also served as a guide for the two of them. Now his mind is in the war in southern Liaoning.

At this time, in Xu Yifan's private residence, there was a guest arriving. Zhang Peilun and Tang Shaoyi both changed into casual clothes and had tea with him in the flower hall.

This guest is Sheng Xuanhuai, the Beiyang God of Wealth. The current trend of Jinmen does not seem to have affected this God of Wealth at all. When it comes to his status, how to go to the camp seems a little embarrassing, so it is better to be broad. Just practiced reading behind closed doors, came to visit Zhang Peilun if I had nothing to do, and then gave some gifts to Zhang Peilun's wife, that is, Li Hongzhang's young daughter. This is called a dog and horse lover, noble.

"Youqiao, how is the daughter-in-law in the middle hall? Didn't Zhongtang write to the son-in-law? This time, Zhongtang seems to have really seen the return to the home, and there is no letter to us from the old Beiyang department, free and easy, free and easy! ”

After talking a little about the wind and snow, Sheng Xuanhuai laughed and pulled Mrs. Zhang Peilun, looking calm. Zhang Peilun has also been up and down in the sea for so many years, and he has never seen any occasion. also has the patience to accompany Sheng Xuanhuai to gossip.

"TOEFL TOEFL! Clumsy and very healthy. It's just that Master Sheng sent too many things, and this affection can't be withstood - how can there be a letter from Zhongtang! Now that his old man is Izumo Wild Crane, it is the time for Haoran to return to his will, how can he read us who are rolling in the world? Maybe it's still a joke, we can't see through it! ”

Sheng Xuanhuai just laughed, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the tea holder in front of him. Tang Shaoyi stared at them and listened to their unspeakable gossip for a long time. Zhang Peilun came this time, and the target was Sheng Xuanhuai. He is not only in charge of money, but also the leader of Beiyang foreign affairs. Hold on to him, neither end can run. Tang Shaoyi agreed with Zhang Peilun's approach. Xu Yifan doesn't want soldiers there, no generals, the Praetorian Guard is enough. What is lacking is civil and foreign personnel. These are all things that can't run the two rivers. In terms of money, he has always relied on Nanyang for help, and it is not a long-term solution. Sheng Xuan has the eyes of the God of Wealth, and the Beiyang family is in his hands. In the future, to run Liangjiang, this talent and money are indispensable things! Besides, North Korea is too small, and Liangjiang is a place with accessible atmosphere, convenient transportation and abundant resources. He still wants to really start his dream of building a foreign affairs in Liangjiang!

But these days, the effort spent on Sheng Xuanhuai can be regarded as in vain. This kid has seventy or eighty tricks, they go to worship Sheng Xuanhuai and see him, they invite him to the next post, and Sheng Xuanhuai will come. But he couldn't say anything, and he didn't have anything to say. Seeing the situation, the big marshal may soon go south, and he won't be able to catch this fox!

His officialdom is much shallower than Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Peilun, and he couldn't hold it back anymore at this time, so he arched his hand and said: "Master Shan!" ”

Sheng Xuanhuai hurriedly pressed his saluting hand: "Shaochuan, call me Xingsun, the place of private house, and call me Master Sheng, now you are the title of political envoy, brother is just Jinhaiguan Road, you call me Lord Sheng, do you want my brother to stand for Brother Shaochuan?" ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled embarrassedly, in North Korea, everything is forbidden, go straight to China, go back, every time you exert force, it seems to touch the cotton bale, which is surprisingly depressing!

Despite this, I still have to say: "Brother Xingsun, the two brothers are entrusted by the marshal, and they are recruiting heroes." The handsome man is here, and only Brother Xingsun is alone. Beiyang has disintegrated, and Zhongtang has no return. Liu Kunyi, the new minister of the North Sea, has always had a gap with Zhongtang. Not to mention the pro-nobles in the capital, I don't know how many people are looking at Brother Xingsun! The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty! My handsome rise in Haidong is a promising time, and the two rivers are very broad, which is enough for my brother to spread. If I get my brother's words, Tang will be in this position at this time, and he will be handed over to his brother! ”

Zhang Peilun listened beside him and shook his head invisibly. The smile on Sheng Xuanhuai's face also turned cold. Only Tang Shaoyi stood up solemnly and slammed to the ground.

The room was quiet for a long time, and Sheng Xuanhuai muttered: "Brother Shaochuan, you are a real person, and my brother won't talk to you about those things that go around and around...... Xu Shuai is about to go south, isn't he? That's why Brother Shaochuan is so eager to ask his brother to tell the truth, isn't it? ”

Tang Shaoyi got up and glanced at Zhang Peilun, but saw him turn his head, Sheng Xuanhuai's two sentences were really asked, and he couldn't help but answer. At the moment, he smiled: "The marshal is concerned about the national war, and he is in southern Liaoning, and he is facing the Japanese and the Kou, how can he talk about going south?" ”

The Yanjing Imperial Court has never been a place where it can keep secrets, there are too many people who can reach the sky, and there are too many people who like to betray some storms and thunderstorms. The news of the capital could not be more convenient to reach Tianjin. It has also spread here, and the imperial court has won the service of the two armies of Songqingyike and Tang'a in southern Liaoning, and it is already planning to drag down the war in southern Liaoning! The war cannot be resolved quickly, and Xu Yifan's position is not embarrassing or embarrassing. This is forcing Xu Yifan to go to his position and leave the elbow of southern Liaoning. The Prime Minister's Yamen for National Affairs is now in full swing to negotiate the terms of peace talks with the ministers of various countries, and when they heard that the DPRK was going to be taken out and divided into shares, they hurried to end the war.

When the news came, Zhang Peilun and Tang Shaoyi had a meeting, and they also felt that Xu Yifan should withdraw decisively at this time. In this war, all the benefits that should be reaped have been reaped. It doesn't matter how the army in southern Liaoning is, how effective the peace talks are in the end, and whether the little devils will turn over and take advantage of the fish. Although we can't take the heroes who help the crisis to the end, it can't do much worse. North Korea was originally a place to live temporarily, so hurry up and pack it up and move to Liangjiang, where there is more to do.

People who know the inside story see it this way. Many people are still sneering behind their backs: "Why does the whole country descend and he doesn't surrender, isn't it for fame and status?" At this time, I want to see what he should do. Look at it this way, the rabbit is his grandson, and he should run faster than anyone else! Can you still put your net worth and surname on that place? Anyway, the wars in the imperial court over the years are not clear and confused, this time the face is enough to get by, what do you want? ”

In this place where the atmosphere is open and the news is convenient. The morale of the people, who had been tense and energetic, was also a little low. Everyone wants to see how Xu Dashuai cleans up the devil, but now there is a rumor that various countries are mediating and the court is ready to stop. The big guys are also feeling deflated. A robber bursts into your house, burns down the house and kills someone, and you return the big mouth, and then that's it?

But we can't expect this Haidong Xu Shuai to really benefit the life and death of the country, and he will avoid it because of misfortune and fortune. The current governor, strength is the capital. If you have the capital, the court will be polite. You can't let Xu Dashuai end up badly!

Seeing this dream of Jiawu Spring, it will be blown away by the wind as always.

What's even more sad is that even Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Peilun, who joined Xu Yifan's system, also think so.

Hearing Tang Shaoyi's stubborn words, Sheng Xuanhuai just smiled: "Brother Shaochuan, don't be bored for a while." Whoever changes will hurry south at this time. It's a muddy water, and it doesn't flow...... It's just that the brothers think, the world's famous ministers and handsomes, the pattern should be about the same, right? It doesn't matter if you're a brother, in this life, that's it. Now that the middle hall is gone, the brothers have no intention of pursuing a career, so wait for the court to be at the mercy of the court! Rain, dew and thunder, all are God's grace, brothers are waiting! ”

With that, he got up in a dashing manner and said goodbye. Tang Shaoyi didn't understand his brainless words, and followed Zhang Peilun to send the guests out in a daze, and watched Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Peilun hold hands and greet each other affectionately at the door, and then got into the carriage and left.

"Sheng Xingsun, this is a rejection of us?" At the door, he was still in a daze, muttering to himself.

Zhang Peilun's expression was distant, and he said lightly: "Xingsun, who is a smart person...... Don't you understand what he's saying behind his back? The world's famous ministers are handsome, but the pattern of strength is the same...... The retreat of Da Shuai Nan is the proper meaning of the question. At a critical juncture, it's just thinking about yourself. Since everyone is the same, why should he sell himself to take refuge? Rather than ruining your reputation, it's better to stay here, and drill camp is the same everywhere......"

Tang Shaoyi's face turned red: "How can the handsome man be the same as those people!" ”

Zhang Peilun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "North Korea fights to the death, because North Korea is its own territory." The world has fallen, and the handsome man will not fall. It's a risky way to gain a reputation. Now that the benefits are in hand, the real choice is people, and they will choose to ensure their strength and territory......"

Xu Yifan is stronger than the foundation, stronger than the strength, and the world's superintendent. But he was able to do what the world's governors could not do. Fabulous rise. The reason is that he walked on the right path, although there was no lack of power. But what he did gave this dark room a ray of light! If he arrives here, but he is still like the governor of the world, how can he compete for this heart, this luck?

Tang Shaoyi knew that Zhang Peilun was telling the truth, but it was difficult to accept it. Such a vigorous war, plastered with blood all over the East China Sea, is this the end? Is it just so clear that it can't be confused? He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start. Everyone seems to have benefited from this war, and Xu Yifan is no exception. The family and country are shattered, and the heroic soul dies in a hundred battles, but it is just the smoke that will be forgotten in a blink of an eye......

Xu Dashuai will be different!

He gritted his teeth and glared at Zhang Peilun. Zhang Peilun quietly turned his head and looked north: "The whole world is watching...... The sound did not fall, and there was a glimmer of light in the dark room, but once the crisis passed, it was still dark in the blink of an eye. People with a heart are waiting for that spring thunder. But no one knows if it will wait until ......"

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

Just when Li Yunzong's small column had already turned over and was ready to launch a decisive attack.

Yoshida Seiichi Nakasa, who was in charge of the break, was standing on a dropped carriage, and waved his arms in a suppressed voice: "Move fast!" Be quiet! ”

The 5,000 members of the 1st Brigade and the 1,000 members of the 24th Fukuoka Wing were urgently changed in such a narrow area. Or in the dark of night, and more importantly, not to alarm the defenders on the opposite side!

Although he was very confident, this emergency retreat would not be discovered by the quiet Praetorian Guards on the opposite side, and he would seize this opportunity. But for some reason, in the cold night wind, his back was still full of cold sweat.

The Empire has done everything it can to survive. This last chance must not be missed!

He glanced westward, and gave the order with even more ferocity. Just one person can push the empire to such a point...... Fortunately, there is only one person in this Qing country!

The tense action has intertwined the retreating and changing teams, and there has been chaos. Retreating in front of the enemy and changing defenses at night was originally a difficult operation. It is said that the officers and men have gathered into a turbulent current, and it is difficult to advance and retreat. The voices also became louder, and they were arguing with each other. The car slumped on the side of the road, and heavy weapons were dropped. From time to time, there are also grassroots officers who scold their mothers loudly. Everyone was frustrated and tired, and no one understood why they were retreating. Those who were withdrawn, and the officers who stayed behind were all on fire and too lazy to care. It's best if you can't withdraw, it's all done by that cowardly national thief general!

Yoshida Kiyoichi looked back at Nogi Noshinori, the commander of the First Brigade beside him. The guy had a Prussian beard and a stiff face. Everyone's evaluation of this major general who has lost the military flag is that his head is "neat". It means a solid one. is gritting his teeth and looking at all this coldly. The 1st Brigade retreated, but he, the commander of the Major General Brigade, disobeyed the order and stayed, and formed a standing team with officers who were also unwilling to retreat, preparing to break off with Yoshida Kiyoichi. Without so many officers in the grip, disorder became a matter of course.

No brains!

Yoshida Kiyoichi made a military salute to Nogi Noshinori fiercely: "Your Excellency, please master the troops and quickly complete the change of guards!" The current situation is very unfavorable! If the retreat is not completed before dawn, it is very dangerous! ”

"The First Brigade, I'd rather take a step forward and die, rather than take a step back and live! The officer understands the feelings of the officers and men very well...... As for the Chinese army, do they have the ability to pursue? Even the Praetorian Guards, which they boasted of being invincible, were not under the surveillance of the First Brigade and Regiment, and there was no movement at all, and there was no attack at all...... Retreat is an act that should never happen! ”

His Excellency the Major General said viciously, turned around, and ignored Yoshida Seiichi, the little lieutenant.

Yoshida Seiichi sighed secretly and looked north.

The small hills on the opposite side were still silent, and there seemed to be no sign of human activity.

It only takes an hour, no, it only takes half an hour! The initiative is in the hands of the Second Army and the entire empire! In any case, complete this retreat as well!

Kiyoichi Yoshida took a breath and prepared to jump out of the carriage to sort out the order himself. Just as he was about to jump, in the afterglow of his vision, he saw a burst of flashes of light suddenly appeared on the Praetorian Guard front to the north, which had not moved for a few days!

The flashes were in front, the roar of artillery was in the back, and no one knew when the Janissaries had transported the artillery to a distance where they could shoot directly. In the roar of the mountains and valleys, the raindrops of cannonballs have fallen in the blink of an eye, exploding in the chaotic and crowded ranks!

Every shell, splashed out, was a dazzling blood light. The severed limbs of the human beings flew high, and the screams rang out at the same time. A burst of artillery fire enveloped all the retreating Japanese troops! The crowded team was suddenly chaotic, but there was nowhere to hide, only to grit their teeth and be bombed, there were flames and iron streams everywhere, and there was a hell everywhere, so that people had nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide!

The sound of artillery became denser and denser, and on the front of the Praetorian Guard, the fire fired lit up the entire sky. Yoshida Seiichi Nakasa was miraculously uninjured, holding his saber and being pushed around by the flow of people, and he was doused with the flesh and blood that had been blown up. His mind went blank, and only one word sounded in his mind: "It's over!" Finished! ”

It is only one or two kilometers away from Yoshida Seiichi Nakasa. Chu Wanli was holding the telescope in the shelter and looking at the scene in front of him. The flames of the shell explosion illuminated the dense crowd of soldiers, and with each explosion, the figure was thrown high like a small ant. The sound of the cannon was deafening, as if it would continue to roar until the end of the world. But at the end of this world, it is not the Praetorian Guard, but the army!

The young staff officers in the cover department were so excited that you beat me, it was so fucking relieving. What Chu Wanli didn't say about the timing was when the army was at its most vulnerable! It was not in vain that these big guys made great efforts to adjust their deployment, and transported the cannons to a distance where they could shoot directly. Chu Wanli issued the most serious military order, those who leak the trend, kill! The staff officers of these headquarters were also dispatched to help pull the artillery. Mules and horses did not dare to use them, for fear that the movement would be too great. Only people pull it with a rope, and cough is strangled with a handkerchief to the mouth, as if they have a chew.

No one knew how Chu Wanli insisted on judging that the army would take the initiative to retreat, and he seized this opportunity. Chu Wanli is also worthy of being a natural commander of the army!

Chu Wanli held the binoculars, looked at the spectacular scene in front of him, and muttered to himself: "You will exercise at night, won't we?" The night belongs to you devils? There is no door! Playing tricks, you are still a little bit in front of Chu Laozi! …… Dashuai, I'm done with my work, it's time to take a leave of absence...... Ahh ”

He put down his binoculars and roared like thunder amid the rumbling cannons: "Half an hour after the artillery fire is rushing, the whole army - attack!" ”

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