More than a dozen little devils were quickly wiped out, and several soldiers carried the body and saber of the North Shirakawa Palace Nengjiu to Ren Chao's horse, Ren Chao lowered his head and glanced at the corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but pout, "This little devil's prince looks so virtuous?" It doesn't seem like the one in a history textbook, right? Ren Chao suddenly remembered that this guy was indeed mentioned in previous history textbooks, because this guy hung up when he attacked Taiwan. Some people say that he was killed by the rebels, but the Japanese information says that he died of miasma, in short, he died in Taiwan. Ren Chao couldn't help but shake his head, "It's still the old saying, it's better to believe in a book than to have no book, what is written in this book is not necessarily right, especially history books, it is likely to be outrageously wrong." ”

"That's it! Take this guy's saber with you, and give it to Lao Tzu as well. Ren Chao took one last look at the corpse on the ground, and then commanded.

"We have been killed by us for a long time, and I guess there are no big fish in front of us! The brothers and I went back and killed him again. Ren Chaole turned his horse's head and said excitedly.

"Yes!" The cavalry responded in unison. So hundreds of cavalrymen turned their horses around and killed them again, so the little devils who were fleeing on the road were once again left behind.

After this battle, almost all of the more than 10,000 main forces of the Japanese Guards Division were annihilated, and less than 2,000 escaped back to Yantai alive.

And Ren Chao also led the army to chase all the way to Yantai and surrounded Yantai, but Ren Chao was not in a hurry to attack Yantai. Because after this battle, although the losses of the Tiger Ben army were not too large, the soldiers were exhausted from the continuous battle, and under Ren Chao's order, the soldiers only came to Yantai with the excitement after the big victory, so now is indeed not the time to attack.

However, the little devil didn't know that at this time, the Tiger Ben Army was already tired and lay down, seeing that the Tiger Ben Army surrounded Yantai, and almost jumped into the sea with Yamane's letter into sorrow, and more than 10,000 people in the North Baichuan Palace could not beat the Tiger Ben Army for a long time, how could he fight with 4,000 people in his hands? At the beginning, when Kita-Shirakawa Palace was able to leave for a long time, it only left less than one wing of troops for Yamane Shinjo, and now with the rout soldiers who just ran back, it is only about 4,000 people, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of these rout soldiers who ran back is also very worrying! Therefore, the little devil still wished that the Tiger Army would not attack, so naturally he did not dare to take the initiative to go out and provoke the Tiger Army.

In the headquarters of the Tiger Army, Ren Chao and a group of senior generals of the Tiger Army are studying the next step of combat deployment. Chief of Staff Yang Jichang held a wooden stick in his hand, pointed to the sand table and said loudly, "According to the information we know so far, there are currently up to 4,000 Japanese troops stationed in Yantai, and its commander is Yamane Nobunari. Yamane Nobunari arranged his main force of about 3,000 people around Yantai Port, and there were only about a few hundred little devils in Yantai City, and the reason why the little devils were so arranged was because there were a large number of military supplies piled up in the port, which were transported by the Japanese army from China and had not yet had time to transport them to the front line. Yantai is the supply base of the Japanese army, as long as we take Yantai and cut off the supply line of the devils, then tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the front line will be defeated without a fight! ”

Ren Chao nodded, looked at Yantai City on the sand table, then looked at Yantai Port, frowned and said, "I heard that the little devil has built a lot of fortifications in the port?" ”

"Yes, since the Japanese army occupied Yantai, it has been constantly building fortifications, and the little devils have built a large number of fortresses and simple batteries according to the terrain, and now Yantai Port can be said to be a strong fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Yang Jichang continued.

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to take him down!" Ren Chaoyan said.

"Report~!" A personal guard hurriedly ran in, "Lord Qiyu, Li Zhongtang sent someone to send an urgent military intelligence briefing!" ”

Ren Chao took it and opened it, and couldn't help sighing, "The Japanese Sixth Division captured Jinan, and the Second Division and the Third Division captured Binzhou. Dong Fulin, Sun Wanling and other troops were defeated one after another, and several battalions of Ding Huai's Guizhou soldiers were surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army in one fell swoop, and even Ding Huai himself was killed in battle. At present, the Japanese army on the east route went north to Qingyun, and the Japanese army on the west route went out of Jinan to attack Dezhou. Seeing that the little devil is about to hit Zhili, he is only three hundred miles away from Jingshi after entering Zhili! We must do our best to solve the defenders of Yantai, and then wave our army to the north and encircle and annihilate the Japanese invaders near Cangzhou! Ren Chao walked to the huge map hanging on the wall and smashed his fist on the word Cangzhou.

"Pass the order, attack Yantai City early tomorrow morning, and then attack Yantai Port." Finally, Ren ordered coldly.

There were only a few hundred defenders in Yantai City, and many of them were routs who fled back from Laizhou, and the Tiger Ben Army did not take much effort at all, and took Yantai City in one go. Then they began to attack the port of Yantai, but this time the Tiger Army, which had a great victory, encountered a setback.

The little devil resisted stubbornly with the help of strong fortifications, and Yamane Shin became to keep Yantai Port, and all the heavy weapons in the port were put on the front line, which greatly increased the firepower of the Japanese army.

"The whole Yantai Port is like a turtle shell by the little devils, Lao Tzu really wants to eat them in one bite, but there is nowhere to put his mouth at all!" Wang Jing grinned and complained.

"Fuck! If you attack hard, you may lose money, and you don't have to do a loss-making business. Ren Chao was also at a loss, muttering to himself.

"If you attack by force, the losses will be too great, and you can only clear it little by little! After all, there are only a few thousand little devils, and they can be consumed slowly, there is no need to fight with the little devils, anyway, as long as we surround Yantai and hold Laizhou, Pingdu and other places, the little devils on the front line will not want to get a bullet replenishment, and it will only take ten days at most, they will run out of ammunition and become lambs to be slaughtered. Yang Jichang said confidently.

"Do you mean to give up the attack on Yantai, leaving only some soldiers and horses to surround Yantai, and we will lead the main force north to defeat the main force of the Japanese army?" Ren Chao asked with a frown.

"Didn't the Jiaolong fleet go to support Lushunkou, as long as the siege of the Beiyang Naval Division is lifted, the main force of the Qing army in Liaodong can go directly back to Tianjin by sea, and the tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the front line can be handed over to the Qing army!" Yang Jichang explained.

"No! Lao Tzu has only grabbed the first merit of annihilating the Japanese invaders now, and this is far from enough! Ren Chao said with a firm face, "If we can annihilate another division of the little devil, it will be almost the same!" "Ren Chao is not willing to openly confront the Qing court now, so it would be best if he could take over Shandong peacefully. All Ren Chao must fight for merit now, but Emperor Guangxu can appoint his Ren Chao as the governor of Shandong according to the agreement, then the territory of Shandong is naturally Ren Chao's, and after Ren Chao has a firm foothold in Shandong, it is not too late to plot against the Qing Dynasty, but before that, the little devil must be beaten down.

"Report~! Emergency military intelligence! Just then, one of the guards ran in and said loudly.

"Where is it lost again!" Ren Chao was already in a bad mood, and when he heard that it was an emergency military situation, he thought it was a war report sent by Li Hongzhang, so he couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Lord Hui, this time is good news!" The pro-soldier said with a smile.
