Chapter 54: Bloody Battle of Shanqing County

"Yo Xi! Finally saw Shanqing Castle! The Dongxue army has been frightened by the bravery of the locust army, and victory is just around the corner! Command the troops, make persistent efforts, and take Shanqing City in one fell swoop! Ueda Arisawa put down the binoculars and said excitedly.

"Hay!" The herald bowed to receive the order, turned and walked away quickly.

"Kill, give!" Breaking through the two lines of defense of the Dongxue Army one after another, the morale of the little devils was greatly boosted, looking at Shanqing City in front of them, the little devils who had almost completely lost their minds pounced viciously like mad dogs.

Along the way, there were constantly retreating Dongxue Army soldiers who fell under the guns of the little devils, standing on Shanqing City and looking south, you could see the corpses of Dongxue Army soldiers everywhere outside the city, and the scene was terrible!

"Yo Xi! Big drop good! Order the artillery brigade to shell Shanqing City and clear the way for the infantry! Ueda Arisawa said with a smug face.

"Boom!" In the violent explosion, the south gate of Shanqing Castle was soon shrouded in the smoke of artillery fire, and Ueda Arisawa nodded with a smile, "Yo Xi!" That's it. I want these humble Koreans to see the power of our great Japanese locust army. ”

However, Ueda's excitement did not last long, as the sound of the cannon lasted less than ten minutes before it stopped. "What the hell! Why stop shelling? Ueda Yuzawa roared angrily.

"Report to Your Excellency! The artillery brigade Akagi Nakasa reported that we are running out of shells! Must be used sparingly! A staff officer walked over and hurriedly explained.

"Baga Ya Road! How can ammunition be in short supply? Why hasn't the shell supply arrived yet? Ueda asked with a frown.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, have you forgotten that yesterday our baggage troops were ambushed by the main force of the Qing army and the Korean army outside Jinzhou City, and all the locust soldiers of a squadron escorting the baggage were shattered, and the baggage was also intercepted by the enemy!" The staff officer cautiously reminded.

"Baga Ya Road!" Ueda Arisawa gritted his teeth and scolded, only then did he remember that he had indeed received such a report, but later received the news that Nozu Michikan had been wiped out in Xianyang County, so he forgot about this matter for a while. Ueda Arisawa weighed it for a moment and then said, "Inform Akagi Nakasa and tell him that he doesn't have to spare the shells, if he can't capture Yamacheong-gun this time, no matter how many shells are left, it will only be a burden!" ”

"Hay!"

"! The little devil's cannon has finally stopped! Quan Junzhun dusted off the dust on his body and scolded, "Inform the troops to go to the city wall immediately and prepare for battle, the little devil is about to attack!" ”

"Chirp!" At this moment, the whistling of cannonballs sounded in the air again, and then one after another the cannonballs fell, and exploded with a bang. Jeon was dragged into cover again by two guards.

"Dog's day, my eighteenth generation ancestor!" Quan Qizhun couldn't help but scold, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to stand outside stupidly to test the accuracy of the Japanese artillery!

After another ten minutes, the sound of artillery stopped again, after the lesson of the last time, Quan Qizhun did not rush out of the bunker this time, and waited for a minute, and a soldier of the Dongxue Army came in, "General Qiyu!" The Japanese infantry have attacked! ”

"Order the troops, immediately restore the position, and defeat the Japanese Kou!" Jeon Junzhun hurriedly ordered.

"Yes!"

Quan Qizhun then went out with a few guards and quickly climbed the city wall. The shouts outside the city shook the sky, and the Japanese infantry swept towards Shanqing City like a black wave.

"Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! Don't let the pirates storm the city! Jeon Junjun yelled loudly. There are four fast gun battalions under Quan Qizhun, all of which are equipped with the latest fast guns, and there are instructors sent by Ren Chao to help with training. These 2,000 soldiers are all the elite carefully selected by Quan Qizhun from the hundreds of thousands of Dongxue Army, and their equipment is good, and their combat effectiveness is naturally different from other Dongxue Army units. It can be said that this unit is the most elite unit of the entire Donghak Army, and even the entire North Korea! But the only fly in the ointment is that this unit has been in the army for a short time and is not well trained! There are sophisticated weapons in the air, but they cannot fully exert their due combat effectiveness. It is precisely because of this that no matter how urgent the previous battle was, Quan Junzhun was not willing to send this force to the front line. And now that Ren Chao has given a death order that Shanqing City must be defended, Quan Qizhun finally gritted his teeth and took out his housekeeping troops. Because Quan Qizhun knew in his heart that he could establish this army, all thanks to Ren Chao's funding, and the troops could be rebuilt after they ran out, but if they lost Shanqing and offended Ren Chao, even if they kept this army without Ren Chao's ammunition supply, the fast gun in the hands of Dongxuejun was a scrap iron, even if it was powerful!

Quan Qi gave an order, and there was a loud gunfire on the city wall! Bullets rained down on the little devils.

The little devil has never been hit by the powerful firepower of the Dongxue Army, so the stormtroop formation is relatively dense, and this time he suffered a big loss! Pieces of little devils fell under the rain of bullets from the Dongxue Army. This made the little devil can't help but have an illusion, is the army in the city still the vulnerable Dongxue army? It must be the main force of the Qing army, otherwise how could there be such powerful firepower!

Even Ueda Arizawa, who was supervising the battle in the rear, couldn't help but suspect in his heart, could it be that the main force of the Qing army had returned! "Baga Ya Road! How could the Dongxue Army have such dense firepower! ”

"Your Excellency! This unit should be the elite of the Dongxue Army, equipped with a large number of new fast guns! Many of them were guns of captured locust armies! According to the information of the Hosaku, the Dongxue Army has at least 1,500 such troops! A staff officer next to him hurriedly explained.

Hearing that it was not the Qing army, Ueda Arisawa was obviously relieved, but when he heard the staff officer say that these hateful Koreans actually used the weapons of the captured locust army to deal with the locust army, he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, "Bagaya Road! Inform the captain of the Tian Suo Wing that he must rush into the city and annihilate all this army! Capture Quan Qian alive, I'm going to scrape him alive! ”

"Hay!"

"Kill, give!" After all, the Japanese army was well-trained, and after the initial panic, they quickly reacted, began to disperse the formation, and relied on the local terrain to counterattack the Dongxue army on the city wall. This time, the little devil's accurate shooting played a decisive role, although the Dongxue army was covered by the city wall, but in the shooting between the two sides, it was completely inferior. There is no other reason, the training time of the fast spearmen of the Dongxue Army is too short, the marksmanship is simply rotten, the dense formation of the salvo against the little devils is okay, as soon as the little devils disperse, the disadvantages of the Dongxue Army are immediately exposed!
