Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rescuing Song Qing

Shan County Youpeng's next attack can be called a bamboo, Iketanga's subordinates are about to collapse at the touch of a button, except for Zuo Guigui and Wei Rugui, who have carried out some more lethal resistance, including his own Heilongjiang Town border army, are mainly running, so they have been running across the Qingchuan River, so they can stabilize their foothold and then arrange defenses along the river.

At this time, there are friends in Shan County who are chasing and are almost tired, you must know that it is winter now, the cold climate of North Korea is not suitable for them, coupled with the shortage of funds, the soldiers have limited means of cold protection, and they encountered a snowstorm, and their men froze to death and frostbite are almost more than a thousand, so they have to stop the attack.

The fiasco on the northern front was a blow to Cixi, and she was waiting with great anticipation for the good news of her Manchurian heroes! As a result, there was a fiasco of bad news, fortunately, this old woman is not a fool, Yi Ketang Ah is not good, others are not good, so naturally it is not good to be too harsh on him, in addition to the fastest Feng Sheng'a dismissal and investigation, there is not much punishment for others, but instead rewarded Wei Rugui, who was wrapped in sores and fighting, a yellow hexagram, and then encouraged all the troops to fight bravely not to live up to the emperor's kindness, if they are defeated again, then don't blame the court law.

In the end, this is not a big deal, and if you don't retreat to the Yalu River, it's not a defeat, isn't Asan well-equipped if you fight well? Then just buy it, if you don't have a gun, buy it! Missing the stun gun, buy! Lack of grenades, buy! The rolling orders almost made O'Connor happy, because Cixi spoke, and Master Weng didn't shout about lack of money at this time, and bought a hundred of them just for the Bofors version of Makqin, this news made Yang Feng quite happy, he didn't know that it wouldn't be long before he would regret hitting the wall for this business.

At this time, he was not the only one who hid aside and snickered to watch the excitement, Li Er's devil was also watching jokes, Yang Feng was very suspicious that Mingjun's imminent collapse had some connection with him, to say that it was absolutely abnormal for Liu Mingchuan's descendant troops to fight so badly, Liu Shengxiu also followed his uncle since he started, and even Liu Mingchuan praised him for being brave and strategic, otherwise he would not have handed over Mingjun to him.

Of course, these insider things are unknown, the ransacking of Osaka made him a small fortune, although the harvest of less than 10 million taels of silver can only be said to be a small amount of money in his opinion, but it is different for the mercenaries under him, after deducting Yang Feng's investment, plus a small amount of subsidies for the troops left behind, the sea and land soldiers who participated in the operation can each get more than five hundred taels, and now they are shouting one by one to continue to punish Japan, especially those who stayed behind, now it can be said that the crowd is boiling, although they also shared a hundred taels as compensation, But this is not comparable to the combatants.

Since this is the case, Yang Feng also conformed to the will of the army, this goods will be transferred to the remaining troops and some of the troops who participated in the war last time, and prepare to go far away to Sendai this time, which is the hometown of the second division, I don't know what it is like for the Japanese army on the front line in Anzhou to learn that his hometown has been copied, as for how to fight this, it is much simpler than landing in Osaka, and there is no fortress in Xiantai, even the Japanese Navy can't reach there, the only thing to consider is that the northeast line is not near the sea, so it must move faster.

It would be nice if there were bombers, you could blow up the railroad for them first and then play slowly, but at this time it was a little early to get the plane, but the airship could play with it, but now the time does not allow it, forget it, anyway, it is impossible for the Japanese army to arrive in a day so far away, and the time should not be too tight.

Although there are a few little doe in the shuttle, and he can barely drive, but Boss Yang's noble status, you can't risk your life for that little money, if you crash halfway, it will be a tragedy, there is a shuttle to follow you underwater in sea activities, no matter what accident happens, you can run away in time, but you can't leave the sea, otherwise why doesn't Boss Yang always like to be active on land!

However, just as he was about to set off, he suddenly received an unexpected job.

"Song Qing?" Yang Feng froze for a moment when he heard this name, and he only now remembered that he seemed to have forgotten Song Qing and his 4,400 Yi soldiers in Pyongyang City, in fact, the white-haired general was almost forgotten by everyone now, but he was the most critical now. 4,400 Yi soldiers have been holding out in Pyongyang for a week, which shows that the battle of Pyongyang was a tragedy in history, and more than 10,000 people let people get out in a day, but now Prince Nengjiu of the North Baichuan Palace has been with his fourth division for a week, and he has not driven Song Qing and Ma Yukun out of the city, and it is said that the battle has not been very smooth.

Pyongyang was the rear base of Iktanga, the ammunition reserves were absolutely sufficient, and the dozen or so Green guns that they thought were not suitable for the offensive were all left in the city, as well as six Habekaisi turner guns, which were now playing a huge role in Song Qing's hands.

Of course, he must not have lasted long, now purely relying on the amount of ammunition projection to support, after the Datong River froze, the sea supply has been cut off, the land supply is also needless to mention, the four thousand Yi army is trapped in the lonely city, if it is not for the Japanese army is not in a hurry, and the second is afraid of casualties, the city has already been broken at this time, but there is no way to go, the only way is to retreat to the sea and then take a boat, but the Japanese surrounded Pyongyang on all sides, and they couldn't withdraw if they wanted to.

Li Hongzhang had no choice but to beg Yang Feng and let Yang Feng lead the troops to rescue Song Qing and others, of course, if Yang Feng didn't go, he would have nothing to say, after all, this was not his soldier, and he had no obligation to listen to his dispatch.

This request made Yang Feng very entangled, according to the reason, he would not do anything that was not beneficial, but watching Pulsatilla die in Pyongyang, this seems to be a bit too unkind, Song Qing and his Yi army are still worthy of respect, 4,000 people can actually hold Pyongyang, this is a bit unbelievable.

After thinking about it again, I decided to be a good person.

"Okay, you always tell Li Zhongtang, I took this job, who made us all Han!" Yang Feng said to Xue Fucheng, and the last few words were extremely heavy.

Xue Fucheng nodded quietly, in fact, there was no one among these people who knew Yang Feng better than him, and this result had been expected.

Song Qing in Pyongyang City, at this time is indeed almost at a dead end, after a week of hard fighting, there are less than 3,000 of the 4,000 Yi Army left, fortunately they are all old brothers who have been born and died with themselves for many years, and they have not been attacked by the Japanese army since they fought to the death, but they have not been able to hold out for a few days, and now the white-haired general is facing his right-hand men Ma Yukun and Jiang Gui are relatively sad.

At this time, the guards came in and reported that a foreigner asked to see him, and although it was quite unexpected, Song Qing still invited someone in.

"Mr. Luo, you said that Lord Yang would come to save us?" The news brought by this foreign devil named Roy made Song Qing directly stunned, speaking of which, he naturally heard about Yang Feng, but the two sides couldn't fight with eight poles, and he was able to send troops to save himself, which was a bit unbelievable.

"Of course, Mr. Yang's telegram made it very clear, please hold on for another day, wait for my news tomorrow night, and when the Japanese army is attacked in the direction of Suzaku Gate, immediately gather all your forces and go south to kill, and then don't worry about anything, run directly along the Datong River to the sea, where there will be boats waiting to pick you up." Roy said that he was the commercial representative of Bofors in Pyongyang, and of course he could also be said to be a spy, and he had a radio transmitter in his hand that could directly contact Yang Feng, and the current boss Yang had already begun to use a tube transmitter internally.

"But what if the Japanese army pursues, Zhenhai Harbor can't dock big ships, our Yi army still has more than 2,700 people, although I don't know how many brothers Lord Yang sent, but at least it will not be less than 3,000, 6,000 people in small boats transfer I am afraid it will not be completed in a short time, once the Japanese army catches up with the loss will be great." Song Qing asked suspiciously.

"General, Mr. Yang's landing ship can land directly, in short, you don't need to think about this problem, ah, there is another point that needs to remind you, it is best to let your subordinates prepare a wet towel, it is better to soak it in alkaline water, cover your mouth and nose when you go out, and try to cover your face with something, if there is yellow smoke in front of you, of course, you may not be able to see the color clearly at night, in short, if there is smoke in front of you, try to avoid it, otherwise it will be very dangerous." Roy said.

Boss Yang naturally won't let his soldiers run to fight with the Japanese army, why don't you use such a good thing as mustard gas, it's now a cold winter, and you don't have to worry about getting dirty on your body, and then cover your mouth and nose with your face It's almost the same, if there is poisoning like this, then you can only blame themselves for their own bad luck.

Originally, Song Qing was a little unbelievable about this kind of good thing, but after receiving the telegram sent by Li Hongzhang, there was nothing to doubt, the next day the Japanese army only launched some small-scale harassing attacks, in their opinion, the end of this lone army was doomed, now all to do is to consume their ammunition as much as possible, and then launch a large-scale attack, you must know that Song Qing lost more than 1,000 people this week, and the loss of the North Baichuan Palace was nearly 1,000.

In this way, it was not until the evening that the Yi army in the city began to wait for news according to Roy's requirements, and it was not until it was close to midnight that Roy hurriedly carried a strange-looking machine on his back and said, "Get ready, here!"

Song Qing's spirits perked up, and the Yi soldiers on the city gates everywhere quickly withdrew, and at the same time loaded the weapons and ammunition that had been piled up together that could not be taken away, and when all this was done, there was a sudden dense sound of gunfire outside.

"Let's go!" Roy shouted, then rolled over his horse and rushed straight to the open Suzaku Gate.
