Chapter Ninety-Four: Rushing Out of Seoul
With the infantry drill code summarized and refined in half of the world war, and the infantry tactics that are the best in the world, the elite force that has been trained, and the experience of hand-to-hand melee has honed their minds, and now they have the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world today.
More than half of the 500 Japanese troops were killed and wounded quickly, and the rest were either still out of reach in the other direction, or they did not have time to mobilize and deploy, and they were stuck at home as reserves, but they were pressed down by machine guns and grenades. The coma of the young man of the Ichito Guard was even worse, and in the blink of an eye, the Japanese defense fell apart!
Yang Hao and the others came to the door of the outer yamen with the smoke of gunpowder, and Xu Yanzhuo shouted: "Our department was ordered to come to support Lord Yuan Shikai of the Qing Kingdom, please open the door so that you can enter the room for a detailed discussion." ”
The people next to them were frightened by their ferocious attack, and they dissuaded: "My lord, you can't let them in!" In case of an outbreak, we don't have the strength to carry it! ”
"That's it! Look at their strong soldiers, maybe they are holding back some bad things, we have to be careful. My lord....... ”
Yuan Shikai slapped the table: "Shut the fuck!" When is it still thinking about it. They are going to come in, and do you think they can stop it with those two walls? Open the door! ”
He is a man with ideas, and in a short period of time his mind has turned thousands and hundreds of turns, and he thinks clearly before and after, thinking that there is no other way. The key is that he can already feel that little Japan is killing him, if he doesn't try to get out, he is afraid that if he is not good, he will be killed!
He is still young, his career has just begun, and he has great hopes of becoming a top Hanchen in the imperial court in his forties, and even really mastering the power of Beiyang after Li Hongzhang, a bright future awaits him, how can he donate his life lightly?
The sound of gunfire outside was still rapid, the guards opened the door tremblingly, Yang Hao immediately rushed in with a platoon of hulala, the soldiers who had just fought were full of anger, and the bloody stabs scared a group of Korean Confucian students who came to see the situation so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they almost peed their crotches! --- they thought it was someone who was coming to arrest or kill them!
Yang Hao had a horsewhip hanging on his wrist, his hand pressed a delicate saber, his posture was arrogant, and he strode forward with no one in his eyes.
After all, Yuan Shikai has been the emperor of North Korea for twelve years, and his bearing and majesty have long been cultivated, even if he is flustered, he will never show it on his face, and he sits on the main seat very calmly, and Tang Shaoyi welcomes him on his behalf, and at the same time carefully looks at this "Russian knight".
With the experience of the two of them, it was easy to sense that something was wrong with Yang Hao, but it was difficult to tell where it was for a while. After all, across a century-old gap, a modern Chinese to imitate the disappeared Tsarist Russian aristocracy, that kind of style and temperament, really can't be grasped.
Yang Hao didn't care, he didn't open his mouth anyway, the exposed skin was well covered, and no one could find anything else.
Xu Yanzhuo, as the "translator", replaced Mr. "Sizzle" and openly stated his intentions: "Dear Lord Yuan, according to our intelligence, you are in an extremely dangerous situation now. The Kaihwa Party and the pro-Japanese faction in the Joseon royal palace are intent on killing you for revenge and using this to please the Japanese. The Japanese army sees you as an obstacle to their brutal occupation of Korea, and will be the first to get rid of you when reinforcements arrive. As allies, we will not sit idly by and watch an innocent person from an outstanding politician suffer innocently, so we will lead our troops to relieve the siege. I just didn't expect that the barbarism and madness of the Japanese would be stopped by force, so a helpless conflict broke out. Now, more Japanese troops are coming, and we have limited forces to support us for too long, so please evacuate with us as much as possible! ”
The large string of euphemistic flattery in the front made Yuan Shikai feel quite useful, but he would not really believe the so-called conflict in the back. What is the situation of the Japanese now? He is not absolutely sure of defeating the Qing Kingdom, so how could he kill the envoys of the Qing Kingdom without being fully prepared?
Looking at the guys in front of him again, Yuan Shikai felt weird, with his ups and downs in the sea for more than ten years, he clearly smelled a strong smell of conspiracy!
But the problem is, he's just one person, and there's a whole bunch of people next to him! His wisdom can see the situation clearly, but the people below only think that they can't die here!
In particular, those Korean Confucian students who hid in, who were really willing to shed their blood and sacrifice their lives for their ideals and national dignity, were all over the place, and they were immediately panicked when they heard that the Japanese soldiers and the people of the Enlightenment Party were going to kill them! An Chengyu and several other representatives immediately shouted: "Lord Yuan! The situation is strict, if we want to protect the forces of justice, let's withdraw to the Qing Kingdom with you first! ”
"yes, yes! My lord, there are a lot of Japanese soldiers who have killed a lot of people outside, and they are designated to annoy them, and this revenge is up, and we can't defend it! ”
"My lord, we are also old and young, this big soldier fights, just a few of us can't control much, let's withdraw!"
"Withdraw! Withdraw it! If you don't leave, it's too late! ”
Once panic spreads, it is difficult to quell. Holding on to the wall, looking down from a high place, it can be clearly found that the Japanese troops from other directions are swarming towards them, and although the two hundred good men and horses under Yang Hao are fierce, they are alone after all. Nodding your head is a sure defeat!
Yuan Shikai slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Wait for the food king's fortune, and be loyal to the king! When you are in danger, you don't want to repay the service, you just want to save your life, how can you do it? This official is responsible for the diplomatic task of the imperial court, and he is about to exert his strength to quell the dispute at this difficult moment, how can he escape from the battle? Hmph, I, Yuan Weiting, would never do anything like that! ”
The righteousness he said was awe-inspiring, and Tang Shaoyi and several others were moved to tears, and the Confucian scholars who didn't know the details suddenly felt that Lord Yuan was really high-spirited and worthy of being the representative of the Great Qing Dynasty!
It's just that the backbone can't be eaten, and it is important to save your life! Your old man's status is noble, the Japanese can't say that they have to scruple about it, we are a group of little people, maybe we will kill the sacrificial flag for a small time, this thing can't be compared!
Yang Hao pretended not to understand anything, but looked at Yuan Shikai's performance with sarcastic eyes, what the fuck is mighty and unyielding, how your old Yuan will perform in the future have all seen historical records, whether it is black or praised, first of all, admit that you Yuan Xiangcheng is a personal masterpiece, a hero, a hero, but definitely not a martyr! If we hadn't intervened, you would have offered to withdraw when the Japanese surrounded you, but now buddy is here to help and save your name.
Yuan Shikai had actually been paying attention to Yang Hao's side, his old face was blackened by his eyes, and he was annoyed in his heart, but it was inconvenient for him to come out, and now was not the time for a dispute.
Xu Yanzhuo frowned, and shouted: "The enemy is current, and there is no room for hope!" Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't hurry up and help Lord Yuan clean up, we must withdraw from Seoul within half an hour, and we are afraid of the future! ”
"My lord, offended!"
Several guards pounced up, set up Lao Yuan with all hands and feet, and walked to the back hall--- before escaping, he always had to dress up in disguise! And his little wife Min Shi in North Korea quickly packed her hands and feet, packed her bags, and rolled everything she could take away as quickly as possible.
In fact, he has already made plans to run away here, and all the changes have been cleaned up. Yuan Shikai wanted to act in a full set, shouting and scolding his subordinates, struggling and refusing, until he reached the back hall, shook his arms fiercely, and snorted: "You guys, you just can't hold your breath!" What kind of background are these people, and they haven't figured out what their ideas are, so how can they go with them rashly? ”
He is afraid of the "National News" these days, if he falls into the notoriety of retreating again, the reputation of more than ten years of business will really be ruined, and he has to guard against it!
Tang Shaochuan couldn't see the truth and reality, but just persuaded: "My lord, the matter has come to this point, and we can't help it." No matter where these people came from, they made such a bloody investment and took such a big risk, not just to kill people. No matter what kind of changes, there is always a chance to earn it back in the future. ”
Yuan Shikai sighed: "I just don't think it's appropriate!" That's it, let's clean it up! ”
are all veterans who follow errands, and they have changed into civilian clothes for Lao Yuan, but they are clustered out in a few minutes, and all kinds of important documents have been swept away, and the treasures that are easy to bring must be brought, and there are more than 20 heavy large boxes.
Yang Hao didn't say much, let six rubber-wheeled carriages push in outside, and the soldiers helped to load and bundle them, and then surrounded them, and rushed towards the west gate!
This toss, before and after about 20 minutes, with the well-trained Japanese army, they have already reacted and mobilized all their forces to besiege on all sides! It's just that in the face of the elite armed with light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and recoilless guns, their old broken guns are completely inadequate! The same precision shooting technique fed with a large number of bullets is by no means comparable to you by the poor Japanese soldiers of this era, and several major street intersections are all covered by their large vehicles with steel plate armor, and they are dead blocked, not only are people difficult to approach, but they can't lift their heads!
Twenty minutes, the Japanese army could not advance an inch, Oshima Yoshimasa was furious, and ordered the artillery he brought to be transferred to the front to carry out a suppressive assault, but it was monitored by the aerial camera in mid-air early, and before they could push over, they were smashed by the 60 mortars of the fire platoon, and they were blown up in all directions!
"Compare equipment with me, you're far behind!"
Yang Hao sneered disdainfully, and followed the troops to attack out.
Losing the main force of a household guard, the Japanese army was greatly diluted by the vital forces, and did not know the direction of their breakthrough, according to the judgment to focus on blocking the south gate leading to the Longshan wharf, but unexpectedly, Yang Hao led people straight to the west gate, and less than a squadron deployed there carried it for less than five minutes, and was smashed by grenades, RPGs and 82 no artillery fire! Not to mention blocking, you can't even shoot at a decent point!
In this way, a platoon of infantry cooperated with the firepower to open the way, and the two platoons sandwiched Yuan Shikai and others, and after the guard team was broken, they trotted all the way along the road and rushed straight to the west gate!
