Chapter 4 Tasks
The subsequent scene of the Battle of Toshima was repeated in front of Ren Chao's eyes like a movie. In the sound of "rumbling" cannons, the two ships Jiyuan and Guangyi were defeated by the Japanese warship Wolf Bรจi and fled!
"Coward! Fang Boqian should be damned! Ren Chao gritted his teeth and said.
"Shameless!" Seeing that the Caojiang gunboat actually hung up the white flag and surrendered, Ren Chao couldn't help but scold. Although the Caojiang was a light gunboat, it was not at all a grade compared to the Japanese cruisers. But no matter how big the gap is, the Caojiang has a certain ability to fight back as a warship. Even the Gaosheng troop carrier, which does not have the slightest ability to fight back, would rather die than surrender, but the Caojiang, as a warship, actually surrendered without a fight, which is really shameless!
"My generation invited to kill the enemy, how can I be greedy for life and death? Today's events are nothing but death! Gao Shanji, the commander of the Qing army on the Gao Sheng troop transport, said loudly to the Qing soldiers on the deck.
"If the public dies, how can my generation be the only child!" Gao Shanji's two battalion officers responded in unison.
"I'd rather die than surrender! I'd rather die than surrender! The Qing soldiers shouted in unison.
The Takasheng was a British merchant ship on lease, and there was no resistance to the Japanese cruiser Naniwa, but my brave officers and men rushed to the deck and fired at the approaching Naniwa with rifles in hand.
"Well done! This is my good Chinese man, with backbone! Ren Chao clenched his fists and exclaimed loudly, Ren Chao, who knew the ending, had tears in his eyes at this time, but Ren Chao endured it and didn't let the tears flow, because tears are useless, and blood debts must be paid in blood!
"Launch the torpedo!" The captain of the Naniwa ship, Heihachiro Togo, yelled loudly.
"Hayi!"
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, a torpedo flew directly into the sea, crossed a white line in the sea, and went straight to the Gao Sheng.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the torpedo hit the Gao Sheng, and Ren Chao couldn't help but close his eyes. Soon the Gao Sheng slowly sank into the sea. More than 1,000 officers and men on board, more than 700 people died at the bottom of the sea, and only more than 200 people were rescued by passing French warships.
By the time Ren Chao opened his eyes again, the footage of the Battle of Toshima had disappeared and was replaced by a subtitle.
Mission: Your current identity is Gao Shanji's Qing Soldier, the Gao Sheng was sunk and fell into the water, and then washed up to your current location. Please be sure to meet the main force of the Qing army in the shortest possible time!
"Rendezvous with the main forces of the Qing army? Is this my first mission? Ren Chao looked at the elf and asked.
"Yes! That's your first task. Please, do you accept the assignment? The elf nodded.
Ren Chao couldn't help frowning, and his brain began to spin rapidly. Now that I'm here, I can't go back on my own, and it seems that I can only do what this guy said, and maybe there is still a glimmer of hope to go back. What's more, I finally came to this time and space, caught up with the First Sino-Japanese War, and didn't compete with the little devils, wouldn't I come in vain? Kindness! Done! Ren Chao quickly made up his mind in his heart.
"Quest accepted!" Ren Chao said loudly.
"Successfully accepted the mission!" The elf said happily. "Please rush to the Qing army camp within three days and make peace with the main force of the Qing army. If the task is completed beyond the three-day period, a portion of the reward will be deducted as appropriate.
"What time did you say it was?" Ren Chao couldn't help but ask.
"July 26, 7 a.m.!" The elf replied casually.
"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded. If Ren Chao remembers correctly, Ye Zhichao, the commander of Zhili, and the main force of the Huai army led by Nie Shicheng, the chief soldier of Taiyuan Town, should be stationed near Ashan. On July 25, the same day that the Battle of Toshima began, the Japanese Army launched an almost simultaneous attack on the Qing forces stationed in Asan. Ye Zhichao and Nie Shicheng moved to Chenghuan and Gongzhou in the eastern part of Yashan because there was no danger to defend. In other words, Nie Shicheng and Ye Zhichao are now stationed in Chenghuan and Gongzhou respectively. So should I go to Gongju or Cheng Huan? Of course, it was to Chenghuan, during the entire Sino-Japanese War, Ye Zhichao only had two words left in the history books - escape! If it weren't for this guy fleeing without a fight, the Qing army would not have been defeated so badly by land. In comparison, Nie Shicheng still has some achievements.
"Nie Shicheng should still be in Chenghuan now, right?" Ren Chao raised his head and asked after making up his mind.
"I'm sorry for this question, it relates to the mission you're performing, I can't answer you!" The elf spread his hands and said helplessly.
"No, it won't! None of this will work. Ren Chao's face immediately fell, "What about my weapon?" You can't let me fight the little devil with my bare hands! โ
"Dear user, your weapons were all discarded when you fell overboard. Your current system has zero money, and the system exchange function has not yet been turned on, so you can't exchange any weapons with the system, so you can only fight with your bare hands so far. The elf gushed.
"Stop!" Ren Chao stretched out his hand to interrupt the elf's words, and asked with a stern expression, "I don't want to listen to this nonsense, now I only want to know one thing, that is, what help can you provide me now, if not, then please disappear in front of my eyes!" โ
"Dear user, please don't get angry, it's not good for your health." Seeing that Ren Chao's face was getting more and more ugly, the elf quickly changed his words, "At present, there is only one service I can provide for you, and that is the electronic map, which can show you the path and prevent you from getting lost." โ
"Humph!" Ren Chao snorted coldly, "Then don't hurry up and open the electronic map." โ
"As you wish!" Soon, a screen appeared out of thin air in front of Ren Chao's eyes, showing a map of the vicinity of Incheon, and a small red dot represented Ren Chao's current location. After studying it carefully and determining the path, Ren Chao rushed in the direction of Cheng Huan.
But as soon as he took a few steps, his stomach began to protest loudly. Due to the time travel, I don't know how much time has passed since I fell into the water, at this time Ren Chao was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he didn't take care of it just now because of his mental tension, but now he relaxed and immediately felt unbearable hunger.
"I'm hungry, where can I find food nearby?" Ren Chao asked weakly.
"About two kilometers to the northeast, there is a small fishing village, where there are several families of fishermen, where can you go to get some food!" The elf stopped on Ren Chao's shoulder and pointed ahead.
"Ask for something to eat! You asked Lao Tzu to ask for food? Ren Chao's eyes widened in surprise, although Ren Chao's family conditions in his previous life were average, he had never done anything to ask for food.
"You're penniless now, so you can only ask for something to eat! If you feel embarrassed, you can also catch some shell crabs and other things at the beach to satisfy your hunger. The elf patiently explained.
"Forget it then!" Ren Chao sighed helplessly, and then walked towards the northeast. It's not that Ren Chao is afraid that he won't be able to catch something like a crab, but even if he catches it, he can't eat it raw! "By the way, what if those Korean sticks don't give me food?"
