The snow was still falling, and it was getting heavier and more intense than during the day. The white-haired wind blew on the face like a knife cutting.

Hundreds of Sheng troops staggered along the official road covered with ice and snow, and walked straight into a valley road surrounded by several mountains, this terrain was a little strange, the valley road suddenly widened, but it was like a small basin, and five or six hundred people could put it down. Although the mountains are not too high, they are blocking the cold wind that sweeps from east to west. The few cavalrymen of the Sheng Army who walked in front looked exhausted, and the small blood that blew out of their faces was like spider webs. Even the horses were not willing to go any further, but they just circled in this comfortable valley road, and several cavalrymen simply jumped off their horses, and the leader was still a small officer, lying on the ground on all fours: "Fuck, I haven't suffered like this since I was a soldier...... This is a call for animals! As long as you can suffer a little less freezing, you won't change the door for a commander! ”

The cavalry behind poured in one after another, watching the guys in front of them do, one by one, and dismounted. Some people were already frozen on the horseback, and when they got off the horse, they fell straight to the ground, and they couldn't bend the wrench.

When a soldier eats food, he doesn't say that he suffers like this!

Yang Shixiang was like crazy, sitting in the carriage where the wind could not blow and the snow could not hit. Just urging them to hurry. As soon as Ye Zhongjun arranged to rest, he poked his head out of the car with a black face. It's just a cold glance at Vice Admiral Sweeping Ye, and he didn't even bother to say anything, he just waved his hand to let everyone continue to hurry!

For five days in a row, this kind of road, with less than six hours of rest every day, drove out more than 400 miles with a stuffy head! Just with the Huai Army's black miscellaneous silver of three taels and three dollars per month, they were selected by the pro-military camp a little more limited. Ten years of salary at once is enough to be worthy! Not to mention that this Lord Yang slammed the door, there was no reward number, and the family members below were still fake tigers, and they couldn't count how many people were whipped along the way.

Speaking of today, I got up from the time it was still dark, and it was long since I got to the end of the day, and I was still fucking in a hurry!

The crowd was chaotic and buzzed together, sitting and sitting, lying and lying. Those who have a conscience about the horse also turn out the bag and hang it on the horse's ears. Some people hurriedly swallowed the smoke bubbles, and some cursed loudly. The horse also snorted and twisted into a big lump in the valley road.

Later, Ye Zhongjun urged the horse to follow quickly, he couldn't straighten up on the horseback, and when he saw that this team was not a bird, he said loudly with a blue face: "Get up!" Do you want to get a stick or what? ”

Several voices were torn apart: "My lord, look, are there any brothers who are still like each other?" It's cold, the wind is like a knife, and the stomach is full of cold dry food, and if you go down, you have to freeze to death! You let Lord Yang get out of the car and follow us, he doesn't lie down, let's take one step less than him, it's my mother's raising! ”

When someone comes out, they naturally respond with a hundred voices, scolding, shouting, and whistling. No one will move half a step. Ye Zhongjun looked at the anger of the crowd, and quickly softened his voice: "Brother, everyone get out together, am I still the same as the big guy?" Let's bear with it, when I arrived in Pyongyang and finished the mission, I don't know how to give the big guys a heart? ”

"Heart, mind, first have to have life! If it goes on like this, it will only drag to death! ”

"You are holding the top in the hands of the military gate, we poor soldiers in coats, care about a fart!"

"You go and pick up Yang Shixiang's follicles, we'll die here today, we have to hurry, we've rested enough, let's discuss again!"

The noise was louder, and some people simply went to unload the tents on the back of pack horses. The horsepower of these horses was also exhausted, and some of them stopped at this time, and the sweat was confiscated, and they simply rolled down with all four hooves. A few lazy bastards were still squeezing around next to Ye Zhongjun's horse, scolding and scolding in their mouths.

Ye Zhongjun pinched the horsewhip, his palms were full of sweat, knowing that the crowd was angry, and now he couldn't say anything. When he was embarrassed, he saw Yang Shixiang's carriage and horses rushing over from behind, and his family members were clustered next to the car, and they were all colorless. Hearing the commotion here, as soon as the car curtain was lifted, I saw Yang Shixiang coming out with a black face, and when the two horse lanterns were lifted, he saw him shouting to Ye Zhongjun: "Brother Ye, what's going on?" I don't think I ordered a break, did I? Tell them all to get up! ”

Ye Zhongjun couldn't help but look back and laugh: "My lord, the brothers are really too late, please be more considerate." In the past few days, the brothers have indeed done their best...... Today, let's rest first, Ming'er will definitely drive the road out! ”

Yang Shixiang snorted: "Xu Yifan's new practice rabble, rushed to Seoul in five days and eight hundred miles, your department is the elite of the Huai Army for a long time, and only half of the people left, this is called a messenger?" Lord Ye, don't you have a military order? ”

Several family members around him, holding up a little spirit at this time, urged them to go immediately and take the horsewhip and shook around, scolding in their mouths. They are in a better situation than being soldiers, they can eat hot, and there is a carriage behind them that can take turns to go up to take shelter from the wind and rest, and Yang Shixiang also promised benefits to his confidants and family members. Immediately the whip was waved, and a few were crackled. It's okay now, the soldier is already full of resentment, and he almost has nowhere to spread fire, and now he really can't take care of it, and as soon as his brain is hot, he dragged these guys down, and ping-pong knocked him around. I heard the family members who were still majestic just now shouting in their voices: "Beat someone...... Hit someone......"

As soon as they started here, many soldiers rushed straight to Yang Shixiang's carriage and horses, the crowd was raging, and the big guns were also taken off and held.

"It's all one life, why use us as animals?"

"Lao Tzu gave the surname Li 20 years of hard work, sent troops to release horses four or five times, and the gun rolled out. I'm going to give up this life today and touch you! ”

The petty officers who led the team were also all angry and huddled in the crowd, just watching. Ye Zhongjun simply stayed, even if this mission was completed, it was estimated that Sheng Jun would not be able to eat in the house. If you press down with Yang Shixiang's bullet again, it is estimated that you will have to explain here! At that moment, he was heartbroken, and shouted at Yang Shixiang: "Lord Yang, please be considerate of the brothers, otherwise if something happens, you won't dare to protect it!" ”

Yang Shixiang's car staggered, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at him. This merry Hanlin has always been strategized in the strategic, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. Where have you ever seen a GI come here? The face is not much stronger than that of a dead man, but fortunately, his brain comes quickly, and he immediately admitted: "Set up camp and rest!" Let's take a break! I, Yang Lianfang, am not a person who is not sympathetic to the military, and each person will be given a reward number of ten taels first, and they will be redeemed when they arrive in Pyongyang! ”

There was a mess in the valley road, and on a high place on the mountain on all sides, Zhang Xuzhou was coldly looking at the chaotic firelight in the valley road, and the sound of shouting was swept by the cold wind and sent to him. He stamped his foot and whispered, "A bunch of waste snacks!" Can it withstand a few strokes? Beiyang wants to us adults, it's really lard! Is this still the elite of the Huai Army? ”

Seeing hundreds of people and horses pouring into the valley road, Zhang Xuzhou nodded slightly, and turned his head to look at Yuan Shikai, who was also trying to stand up straight behind him. Yuan Shikai pondered and waved his hand: "Lord Zhang, let's fight, at this point, Yuan is already responsible, and it's all Lord Zhang's business." ”

Looking at Yuan Shikai's calm appearance, Zhang Xuzhou couldn't help but admire slightly. What they have to deal with is the Xuanzhu members of the imperial court, Beiyang, and the Qing Dynasty! As soon as the gunshots rang out, it meant that they would always stand on Xu Yifan's boat, and they could only go to the dark with this Lord Xu! Zhang Xuzhou raised his hand, but paused in mid-air. This fighting Han Xin suddenly jumped violently, even in Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul, holding a rifle with a good bayonet, charging against the rain of bullets from the army, he did not have this kind of unprovoked nervousness!

Immediately, he smiled in his heart again, when Xu Yifan first saw them, he had already told them, I will take you to death! The sound of Nanyang's cannons, the blood and fire of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the harsh training process, and such a new Praetorian Guard that also has his whole heart and soul involved, is erect and irresistible. This force is just like Fang Sheng. So far, why bother looking back? He's found a place to die!

Zhang Xuzhou's hand waved down violently: "Fire!" ”

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

There was a bang, and on the four hills sandwiching the valley road, large and small, rows of muzzle flames flashed! The rain of bullets poured down, hitting the army in the valley that was still in chaos. For a while, I don't know how many people fell without humming, and the bullets splashed wisps of smoke and dust on the snow, and the blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of the centaurs. The sound of people shouting and neighing suddenly sounded, but it was countless times more tragic!

Yang Shixiang had already retracted the carriage and sulked, and when the gunshots rang out, he suddenly saw several holes in the wall of the carriage slab, and sawdust was splashing everywhere. The horse pulling the cart suddenly neighed miserably, was hit by a bullet, and fell to the side with the wheel. Before Yang Shixiang could react, the entire cart had already overturned in the snow!

Then the bullets kept passing through the floor of the carriage, whizzing past Yang Shixiang's ears. The whole carriage was in a mess, the conceited and resourceful Yang Hanlin could only fall into the carriage with his head and feet at this time, covering his ears and screaming uncontrollably!

The rifle could not fight seven or eight in unison, and it had completely defeated the more than 300 Sheng troops. Then it stopped, and the shouts of Korean resounded from the top of the mountain, long and short, all murderous. At this time, Sheng Jun remembered to cry for his father and mother, and took off the foreign spear and threw it around, and the corpses of people and horses were already lying on the ground, in any posture. Ye Zhongjun rolled under the horse early, crawled around trying to find a hidden place, and finally hid behind the overturned carriage, the rain of bullets that rushed over stopped, and he was still in shock, and his ears were filled with screams. I can't even take care of the command, but my mind is blank, what's going on?

When he was lying there, he saw Yang Shixiang crawling out of the sparse carriage, with blood stains on his face, staring at him with a pair of frightened eyes, the two of them stared at each other, and they couldn't speak. Ye Zhongjun actually found out that Lord Yang's eyes were full of tears, and he almost cried!

A team officer with the title of the commander of the capital department rushed over, this is a veteran who has seen battles and fought in France, and he can hold on to some of them, so he came to his own supreme commander first: "My lord, we are attacked!" ”

"Attacked ......"

"My lord, we have to give the order to fight back, the terrain is unfavorable, we have to select a front and rush out!"

"Rush out ......"

"My lord, the enemy is all foreign guns, but they speak Korean, and there are many people, we can't get in, we must retreat now and retreat towards Seoul!"

"Korean ......"

Ye Zhongjun is already stupid, he is the Huai Army pulled in by his uncle, and the top is donated. Not to mention seeing the battle, I don't even bother to go to the shooting range when I say that I am often practicing, it is better to take two sips and drink flower wine, as long as I don't make a mistake, where have I seen this! At this time, I only felt that the crotch of my pants was hot, and I didn't know what was flowing out, I just felt that the bullet was still flying over my head, and I couldn't get up when I lay there and died.

Nadusi also found that this lord could not be counted on, so he stood up and gave a loud order: "The front team will draw a forward, get on the horse, and rush out of a road!" ”

Before the words fell, a row of bullets had already hit the place where the sound was made, and a large cloud of smoke and dust splashed on the snow. Ye Zhongjun just looked stupidly. This burst of gunfire caused a chaotic response from the Sheng army, and the sound of scolding and screaming became loud. The hills on all sides were silent, as silent as if no one were there. It was only by chance that a few sentences of Korean words sounded.

Sheng Jun fought for a while, and then stopped, and some people went to grab the wounded. The mountains on all sides were dark and swarthy, and only the cold wind swept by. But death keeps coming from there! After all, this team is Ye Zhichao's pro-army, and it is also quite a bit of a brave fighter. I was beaten just now, and now I know that I can't be beaten in this Jedi, and the best way is to withdraw from the way I came. Back to Seoul!

Several junior officers had already given orders loudly and spontaneously, and the soldiers who wanted to survive got on their horses one after another, crackling in all directions with their guns, and with a command, they had already rushed out on horseback. Watching them move, the gunfire rang out again from all sides, and the bullets rained down, and many people fell off their horses, but the others still poured out regardless of it. Seeing that he was about to get out of the valley, he moved in the snow, and another row of rifles stretched out, and a rain of bullets splashed over, almost hitting a pearl inverted curtain. The people who ambushed them have long been ambushed here, watching them enter the valley, as long as they come out, they will fight head-on!

Relying on the courage to desperately break through, as long as they can still move, these selectors, those who have horses and those who don't, all scream and rush forward. Seeing that they were approaching the line of fire blocking them, black shadows were crawling on the snow, and they had already dug foxholes on the ground in advance, and the top cover was the best cover. The shadows were all dressed in miscellaneous leather jackets, but they were all brand-new Mauser rifles, with long, shiny bayonets on the heads, and they roared and met them. Several of the approaching Sheng army infantry were the first to be pierced, and the cavalry could not rush up in the heavy snow, especially these war horses were all long journeys for a whole day, and the horsepower had been exhausted, and they came slower than the infantry.

With such a dark night, such a heavy snowfall, and such an enemy, what else can the Sheng army do? A pile of corpses of men and horses was left at the mouth of the valley on the way, and the blood stained the white ground red. Xuan Feng rushed towards another exit of Gu Road, but he was still blocked! This time it collapsed faster, seeing that there were bullets pouring on the opposite side, everyone turned around and ran, and rushed in one after another, and the organization was scattered, and the order was gone, so they found a safe place to hide.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these enemies, who are calling stiff and strange Korean dialects, have trapped them, and they have not fired any more shots into the valley road, and the snow has fallen one after another, covering the corpses of men and horses in a blink of an eye, covering all the bloodstains. Only the undead, the wounded horses, let out a scream that did not sound a single sound.

Ye Zhongjun was lying there, his braids were scattered, and he seemed to have regained a little popularity at this time, and he just said to himself in a trembling voice: "It's a North Korean, it's a North Korean chaotic party!" Doesn't it mean that the North and East Studies Party has been flattened? Why is it here again? ”

Yang Shixiang leaned against the wall of the carriage, slowly wiping the blood on his face that was grazed by the bullets, and just glared at Ye Zhongjun: "What North Koreans, it's Xu Yifan!" ”

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

Peng's voice, Xu Yifan strode into his signature room, followed by Chu Wanli and Jiang Ziming.

Running all the way, they finally rushed back to Pyongyang!

Tang Shaoyi, who was not dealing with business in the signing room, stood up and looked at Xu Yifan with a haggard face, deep eye sockets, and an ugly face.

Xu Yifan has lost a lot of weight, his beard looks black, his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks a little scary. In the past, Xu Yifan was always polite and gentle to these civilian subordinates, but now he is spewing fire from his eyes!

Tang Shaoyi froze there, not knowing whether to call Qianhao first or greet first, his heart was in a mess. But there is also a kind of relief that Xu Yifan is finally back!

Xu Yifan glanced at him and didn't speak. Footsteps sounded outside, and when I turned my head, I saw Li Yunzong in a straight uniform and strode in. Seeing Xu Yifan, this cold-faced and cold-hearted guy's chest also rose and fell, and what he snapped was a flat-chested military salute: "My lord, mark the message ...... transmitted."

Xu Yifan intercepted and said: "I received it on the way, you and Yuan Weiting did a good job!" I've written it down! ”

Li Yunzong and Yuan Shikai did it very well, but he Tang Shaoyi did not do it well. Tang Shaoyi's heart tightened, and she didn't dare to say a word.

Xu Yifan looked tired, but he still immediately ordered: "This is Jiang Ziming, the new pipe belt of our Praetorian Guard, you contact him immediately, and according to my instructions, everything will be arranged immediately." In a few days, I want North Korea to smoke everywhere! ”

Li Yunzong didn't say much, and it was another military salute: "Obey your lord's orders!" ”

Xu Yifan nodded, patted him on the shoulder again, and waved his hand: "Wanli, let's go!" ”

At this time, Tang Shaoyi said, "My lord, where are you going?" ”

Xu Yifan looked back at him: "Yang Shixiang, you still want me to take care of it personally, no matter whether Brother Lianfang is dead or alive, I have to give him an explanation...... Anyway, there is chaos in Korea, and I am responsible for continuing to counterbalance the rebellion, so why can't I inform Beiyang and the imperial court? ”

Tang Shaoyi's heart trembled and she saluted respectfully. I only felt that a big stone fell to the ground, and as soon as Xu Yifan came back, he took care of the big things vigorously, no matter what Lord Xu did, it always made people feel that he was on top of the sky when it fell.

Tang Shaoyi wanted to say a few words of pleading, but Xu Yifan had already strode out, and said as he walked: "Shaochuan, you have done a good job, you have come all the way, the camp is not surprised, and various construction undertakings are still being carried out in an orderly manner." The heart of the army is very popular, you have settled well, but Shaochuan ......"

Xu Yifan stood at the door and looked back at him seriously: "...... Shaochuan, do you think you can still look back? ”

Tang Shaoyi's body was shocked, and he respectfully bent down and clasped his fists and saluted: "How can Xia Guan still have a way to retreat, and how can he think of a way to retreat?" I can only move forward with adults! ”

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

Chu Wanli has already summoned dozens of Goshha, and those who followed Xu Yifan to the northeast wanted to change them down and rest, but they refused one by one, and they swore to follow. The rapid inspection of the people stopped, Xu Yifan couldn't even control the placement of his family, explained a few words in a few important places, rushed over and flew on the horse, and with a slight swing of his head, he was about to lead the team to set off.

Destiny is still in him! Li Yunzong and the others had already taken the initiative to intercept Yang Shixiang. Now he has plenty of time to launch the Korean rebellion, and now he can attack and retreat against Beiyang and the imperial court! He was still weak, his head was swollen, but his heart was hot.

Just as the team was about to leave, they heard a disturbance next to them, and another voice shouted in a straight voice: "My lord! My lord! …… Xu Yifan! ”

Xu Yifan turned his head and saw that Pu Yang was being twisted by several Goshha, punching and kicking and struggling over. This kid faithfully followed Xu Yifan's orders, and these people pretended that Xu Yifan was still in the inner house, going in to reply for a while, and coming out to pass the word for a while, and they performed a lot of fun. didn't expect Xu Yifan to play him. However, when Xu Yifan came back, people shouted and neighed, and he was transferred around, he was already in the army, and he could smell a little bit of the wind, and if he thought about it, he understood a little bit. Xu Yifan is trying to find a way to deal with the advancing Beiyang! Maybe there's something daring to do!

He didn't want to go back to Yanjing to find a disciple, he wanted to work hard with Beiyang! I Pu Yang is loyal, and I know a lot about the open and secret battles of various power groups in the Qing Dynasty, so I treat Lao Tzu as an outsider?

Pu Yang, whose self-esteem was hurt, immediately rushed over.

Xu Yifan just looked at him, Pu Yang's unstinting strength of the gangsters in the capital came again, and he scolded while struggling: "People in the field don't talk about old ladies, Xu Yifan, do you believe that I Pu Laosi?" Do you want Lao Tzu to die in front of you? Lao Tzu recognized the Praetorian Guard, do you still remember the hatred of the year? Come on, come on, Ma Yu'er chopped Pu Laosi, and Lao Tzu died here! ”

Xu Yifan's eyes flashed with murderous aura, and he said coldly: "I'm going to do lawless things, you are a banner man and a yellow belt, do you want to follow me to mess around, or go back to be your An Fenbei Ziye?" Back to Yanjing, let's talk about my Xu Yifan's domineering, let you go! ”

Pu Yang sneered: "Even if our Praetorian Guard is lawless, it is also a team that can protect the rivers and mountains of the Great Qing Ping Domain, Li Hongzhang did the white-faced Su Dingfang's matter, who still doesn't understand the hearts of people?" My lord, you are better than Li Hongzhang, you should sit in his position! Lao Tzu is only living a personal life here, either chop me up, or let me follow! ”

Xu Yifan suddenly smiled: "It's enough for two hundred and five, can you achieve Li Hongzhang's position, let's talk about it again." It's not easy to follow me to endure hardships and make trouble? Give him the horse and follow me! ”

(To be continued)
