"Gui Gong! The Ishii Brigade came to report that they were stubbornly blocked by the main force of the Tiger Army, and the Tiger Army had fierce firepower, and it was roughly estimated that the strength of the troops was at least about 1,000 people! Once again, Ogawa reported the information he had just received to Katsura Taro with a stern face!

"Baga Ya Road!" Katsura Taro sat on horseback and couldn't help but scold, "How can there be a tiger army everywhere, how many people are in the tiger army?" ”

"According to our latest intelligence, the total strength of the Tiger Ben Army is at least about 7,000 people, of which about 2,000 are stationed in Incheon and other places, and the Tiger Ben Army around us should not exceed 5,000 people." After thinking about it again, Xiao Chuan couldn't help frowning, thinking that according to the situation reported by the various troops, there were seven or eight thousand tiger troops around them, not including the tiger army in Seoul.

"Then how can there be so many Tiger Ben Army?" Katsura Taro had lost his basic composure and asked loudly.

"This~!" Xiao Chuan was also difficult to answer this question for a while, "According to the speculation of the humble position, there are only two possibilities for this result, one is that some generals in the locust army are lying about the military situation, and the other is that some of the Tiger Ben Army are pretending to be Koreans, I think the latter is more likely, Ren Chao, the commander of the Tiger Ben Army, has always been very cunning, but the problem is that we can't tell where it is true and where it is false!" ”

"Yaga!" Katsura Taro frowned and thought for a while, "It's better to break through according to the original plan, and all departments will immediately move closer to the Ishii brigade, and organize troops to open up the breakthrough channel at any cost!" ”

"Hay!" Xiao Chuan replied respectfully again, turned around and told the adjutant to convey the order.

"My lord~! Reinforcements from the little devils have arrived! Niu Kaixuan shouted and ran into the temporary headquarters that Ren Chao had just set up.

"Bullshit reinforcements! It's just a bunch of wolf bèi escaped little devils! Ren Chao was holding a telescope and looking at the little devil in the distance, and said without looking back when he heard Niu Kaixuan's voice.

"That's right! But there are more than 3,000 of these little devils, and if the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, we may not be able to stop them! Niu Kaixuan wiped the sweat from his face.

"Why are you afraid?" Ren Chao asked with a smile.

"Afraid of a bird! As far as the virtue of the little devil is concerned, how much he comes is just the material for delivering food! When Niu Kaixuan heard this, he immediately patted his chest anxiously and said, "My lord, just watch from here this time, and see how I teach these dog-day Oriental devils a lesson, so that they know that they know how powerful our masters are!" ”

"Look at your cow!" Ren Chao pointed at Niu Kaixuan and shook his head and said, "Inform and prepare to fight!" ”

"Yes!" Niu Kaixuan replied respectfully, turned around and ran out.

Then Ren Chao raised the telescope again and continued to observe the enemy situation on the opposite side, and suddenly found that several little devil officers were standing there on a hillside opposite, and three of them were also holding binoculars and were looking at him. Ren Chao immediately locked on these little devil officers, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

On the opposite hill, Ishii Jiro followed behind a devil with a stern face, "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the opposite side is the position of the Tiger Army, we have already launched an attack, but the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and we can't break through the enemy's defense line with the strength of one of our brigades!" ”

"Then you just watched where the Tiger Army on the opposite side built fortifications?" Dazuo couldn't help but frown and said.

"This~! He also sent a small force to carry out harassing attacks, but the Qing army was very cunning and was not fooled at all! Our brigade is really powerless without artillery! Jiro Ishii hurriedly explained.

"Humph!" The officer snorted coldly, picked up the binoculars and continued to observe the enemy situation on the opposite side, "Isn't there no artillery on the other side of the Qing army?" ”

"Shouldn't there be?" Jiro Ishii replied.

"Nani!" Dazuo frowned, put down the binoculars, turned his head to look at Jiro Ishii, and asked with a stern expression, "What is the meaning of whether there should be any, haven't you figured out the reality of the Tiger Ben Army on the other side for so long?" You rice buckets, all of them are rice buckets! ”

"Hay!" Ishii Jiro didn't dare to refute at all, so he could only bow his head, but he was aggrieved in his heart, thinking that Lao Tzu had been fighting for most of the day, and there was no merit and hard work! I didn't expect that there was not even a word of comfort and encouragement, and it was a scolding when I came up. Jiro Ishii was still muttering in his heart, when a piercing scream suddenly sounded in the sky!

"What a familiar voice! This is? Not good! Jiro Ishii couldn't help but scream, "Lie down!" ”

"Boom!" Jiro Ishii's shouting was interrupted by a violent explosion, and several shells landed nearby and exploded. Jiro Ishii reacted quickly enough to knock the big Zuo to the ground.

"Your Excellency, Captain, are you alright?" As soon as the explosion stopped, Jiro Ishii hurriedly helped the captain up and asked anxiously.

"Baga Ya Road! Didn't you say that the Qing army had no artillery? Osa spat out the dirt in his mouth and asked angrily.

"Now is not the time to pursue this, let's retreat quickly! It's so unsafe here! Jiro Ishii glanced at the two guards behind him who had been blown to pieces, and couldn't help but shout.

"Retreat! Hurry up and drop! Only then did Da Zuo react, and he ran up with a rolling belt, and ran towards the bottom of the hill, as long as he ran to the bottom of the hillside, the cannon on the opposite side would not be able to explode. Ishiiji and several guards were very dutiful to protect Osa.

"Chirp~!" The screech of shells piercing the air sounded again, and six high-explosive shells landed on the top of the hill almost at the same time, and then exploded! The smoke and dust generated by the explosion, the flames instantly devoured Ishii and the others, and the powerful shock wave directly tore several people to pieces!

"Well done! The little devil of the dog day, let you be so arrogant, and even spy on the enemy under Lao Tzu's nose! Ren Chao, who witnessed this qiē with his own eyes, couldn't help but cheer loudly, "Give the artillery company a meritorious service, and when the battle is over, let's award it together!" Ha ha! ”

"Yes!" The adjutant next to him answered, opened the paper folder and recorded it.

Due to the death of the main commander of the little devil, the little devil lost his unified command, so although the little devil concentrated the strength of a whole wing, he was unable to launch an attack for a long time.

"Gui Gong! Big things are wrong! The captain of the Yamamoto wing was killed by enemy artillery attacks, and the wing lost its unified command! "Ogawa once again reported this information to Katsura Taro for the first time!

"Baga Ya Road! It's not the right time for this idiot to die! Then order the highest-ranking officer of the Yamamoto Wing to command the entire wing to launch an attack, and be sure to break through the defense line of the Tiger Ben Army in the shortest possible time! Katsura Taro yelled.

"Hay!"
