Chapter 186: Beijing Lifts the Siege

According to the plan agreed before the Japanese military, this time Dashanyan will personally lead the main force of the Japanese army to break through in the direction of Langfang. In order to attract the Qing army out of the city to pursue, it was an opportunity for Sakuma Zoma to create a zào. Before the Japanese army broke through, Sakuma Zomattai had led more than 3,000 Japanese troops to secretly lurk in the west of the city, and only waited for the Qing army to leave the city before attacking Guang'anmen, thus capturing Beijing in one fell swoop. Although there are not many troops in Sakuma's hands, these are the absolute elite troops carefully selected by the Japanese army.

Of course, the Japanese also thought that if the Qing army did not go out of the city to pursue this situation, if this situation happened, then Dashanyan could only lead the main force of the Second Army to Langfang and the Seventh Division to make peace, and then defeat Song Qing and Ma Yukun's subordinates, and strive to capture Tianjin in one fell swoop. Although Tianjin is not as important as Beijing, it is Li Hongzhang's lair, and it is also a good bargaining chip under the premise that Beijing cannot be captured. More importantly, there was the Qing Dynasty arsenal in Tianjin, where Dashanyan believed that the Japanese army could be supplied with sufficient ammunition. As long as he had sufficient ammunition, Dashan Yan was confident that he would be able to regain the combat effectiveness of this force.

But what Yama Iwa and Sakuma Samatai didn't expect was that although the cautious Li Hongzhang did not order the main force defending the city to go out of the city to pursue, he let Ren Chao's Tiger Army pursue the Japanese army. In this way, although the defensive strength of Beijing City was weakened a lot, it did not achieve the expected purpose of the Japanese army.

Sakuma Samata also hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to take a risk. After all, at this time, the Tiger Army, which was the most feared by the Japanese army, had already gone to pursue the main force of Dashan Yan, and these Qing troops who stayed in the city had not yet taken it into account, although they had a lot of troops, but in such a desperate battle, there may not be no chance of victory. With this fluke mentality, Sakuma Zomattai finally gave the order to attack the city of Beijing.

To Sakuma Samata's great relief, the Qing army was almost defenseless, and the Japanese army's sneak attack was easily successful. Soon the Japanese army successfully captured Guang'anmen. But Sakuma Zomattai was not satisfied and ordered the troops to continue to advance.

Just as Sakuma Zomattai expected, these Qing troops were really vulnerable. Although there were a lot of troops, under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, they were defeated and retreated. Although it seems to be a qiē shun lì now, Sakuma Samattai believes that this is not enough, and that he must do his best to defeat these incompetent Qing troops. "Order the troops, continue to strengthen the offensive, and do your best to defeat the Qing army." Sakuma ordered coldly.

"Hay!" The adjutant answered, turned and went to deliver the order.

At this time, a Japanese soldier hurried to Sakuma Zomatsu. He reported loudly, "Report to Your Excellency General, the Qing army suddenly transferred a large number of defenders from the inner city to support, our army is limited, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop for a while." ”

"Baga Ya Road! I don't want to hear any excuses, I just want one result, that is, to completely defeat the Qing army and occupy the outer city of Beijing! You drip! Sakuma sarma roared too loudly. The current Sakuma Samattai has been completely driven to a dead end. Only by fighting to the death can we get that incomparably slim chance of survival.

However, Sakuma Sama Sama roared too loudly, no matter how loud he was, he couldn't change the whole battle situation, although the Qing army couldn't block the little devil's fierce attack, but it dragged the little devil to the west of the city.

At this time, Ren Chao led the guard regiment to rush back to Beijing, and then plunged into the counterattack against the Japanese army. The Tiger Ben army arrived in time. The Japanese army fell into complete despair.

The fierce battle continued until dawn, when the Japanese troops who attacked Beijing were completely annihilated, and Sakuma Samattai committed suicide by disembowelment on the tower of Guang'anmen Gate.

"See Nakado-sama!" After Li Hongzhang got the news, his heart finally put it in his stomach, and then Li Hongzhang came to Guang'anmen in person. The generals who participated in the war greeted Li Hongzhang together at Guang'anmen.

"Let's all be exempt!" Li Hongzhang said casually, Li Hongzhang saw Ren Chao in the crowd, walked over and patted Ren Chao on the shoulder and said. "You've done a good job this time, and of course everyone is doing a good job! Eliminating this gang of Japanese robbers is equivalent to completely removing the threat of the Japanese to the city of Beijing, and I will definitely play the emperor truthfully and ask for credit for the soldiers! ”

"Thank you, Lord Nakado!" All the generals thanked him.

Li Hongzhang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ren Chao with a smile and asked, "The Japanese chief Dashanyan led the main force of the Japanese army to break through, and the Tiger Ben army was ordered to pursue, what was the result?" ”

"Returning to Lord Zhongtang, he led his troops to chase half of the time, and found that something was wrong, and immediately led four battalions back to Beijing to defend him, and ordered the large army to continue to pursue and annihilate the main force of the Japanese army. However, I believe that the results will be transmitted soon, and when the time comes, the humble position will definitely report to Lord Zhongtang as soon as possible. Ren Chao replied honestly.

"Yes!" Li Hongzhang smiled and nodded, and then said loudly, "You have worked hard, after cleaning up the battlefield, go back early to rest, tonight the prince has prepared a celebration banquet to celebrate the generals!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang! Thank you, Lord Nakodor! The generals said in unison.

Li Hongzhang pretended to turn around near Guang'anmen Gate and went home. Ren Chao has been watching the soldiers of the Tiger Army clean up the battlefield, mainly to collect the remains of the sacrificed soldiers of the Tiger Army. Although these people are all system soldiers, Ren Chao usually treats them as normal people, and after each battle, Ren Chao will bury the sacrificed Tiger Ben soldiers, which is also the only thing Ren Chao can do for them! Of course, Ren Chao will never forget the great contribution they made to the rise of this country.

"Report~! Frontline Emergency Battle Report! A scout hurriedly ran to Ren Chao and said loudly.

"Lord Qiqi, our army was ordered to pursue the main force of the Japanese army, fought fiercely all night, won a complete victory, most of the Japanese army was defeated by our army, and nearly 10,000 enemies were annihilated. Dashanyan and others only led thousands of remnants to flee to Langfang. The scout shouted.

"Good! That's great! Ren Chao saw that the battlefield was almost cleaned, so he ordered Niu Kaixuan to stare here, and hurried to Li Hongzhang's mansion to see Li Hongzhang.

"Zifeng! As soon as I heard that you were coming, I knew that you must have come for me this time with good news. Let's talk about how our army won a great victory and broke the Japanese invaders. Li Hongzhang said with a smile when he saw Ren Chao.

"Yes!" Ren Chao responded and then said, "As soon as the Japanese army retreated, he ordered the six battalions of Meng Yan's headquarters to launch a pursuit. Subsequently, Yang Jichang and Wang Jing were ordered to lead six battalions and thousands of refugees to be reinforced. At first, the Japanese army just wanted to flee for their lives all the way, and our army pursued all the way, about 20 miles, and the Japanese army suddenly gathered troops to kill a horse pistol, and surrounded Meng Yan's department in one fell swoop. Fortunately, Yang Jichang and Wang Jing arrived in time, and they defeated the Japanese invaders in one fell swoop! In this battle, our army annihilated nearly 10,000 Japanese invaders, but it was a pity that they ran away from Dashan Rock. (To be continued......)
