Ren Chao heard a hint of sadness on his face, sighed slightly and said, "General Quan doesn't have to be sad, your army will definitely not sacrifice in vain, we will record this account on the little devil first, and in the future, when we hit the Japanese island, we will ask them to repay it ten times and a hundred times." ”

Quan Qizhun heard Ren Chao say that he wanted to hit the Japanese island, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Lord Ren, do we really want to hit the Japanese islands?" ”

"Of course!" Ren Chao said very firmly, "Now that our Qing Dynasty has officially declared war on the Japanese Empire, the two countries are already in an endless situation, the Japanese Invaders are arrogant, and have repeatedly provoked the majesty of our Celestial Empire, how can our Celestial Empire be willing to give up!" ”

"That's right! This time, we must let the Japanese know that they know the power of the Celestial Empire! Quan was overjoyed after hearing this, and said excitedly.

Ren Chao nodded and said, "General Quan and the Dongxue Army have made two meritorious contributions in a row, annihilating more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, I will immediately go to the imperial court to ask for merit for your army, and ask the imperial court to allocate another 600 fast guns for your army." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ren!" Quan Qizhun was naturally overjoyed and thanked him again and again. "Lord Ren, yesterday and this morning, the contempt army captured hundreds of fast guns, how do you think they should be distributed?"

"These are all exchanged for the blood and lives of your army, and naturally all of them will be used by your army." Ren Chao smiled and said, "In the future, all the spoils captured by each army will be distributed by each army itself. ”

At this time, Yan Shiyong also ran to Ren Chao to ask for a strategy, and heard that Ren Chao promised to give Dongxue Army 600 fast guns, and wanted to be cheeky to ask Ren Chao for a batch of arms, but now listen to the meaning of Ren Chao's words, meritorious service is rewarded, and the North Korean official army has not made an inch of merit so far, and Yan Shiyong is not easy to open his mouth no matter how thick-skinned he is. But seeing that the power of the Dongxue Army was growing, Yan Shiyong could only be anxious when he saw it.

Ren Chao glanced at Yan Shiyong, who was restless, and probably guessed what Yan Shiyong was thinking, and said with a smile, "Lord Yan, your army is responsible for defending the first line of defense, so why worry about not having the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service." Look at this, as long as your army can hold its position for an hour, I will give your army a hundred fast guns, and two hours is two hundred fast guns, and so on! ”

Yan Shiyong's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Is this true?" ”

"Of course! I always count! Ren Chao said with a smile, "And in order to strengthen the strength of your army, I have decided to temporarily transfer 200 fast guns to your army, and I am sending a machine gun team to assist your army in defending its position." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ren, please rest assured, we will definitely stick to our position!" Yan Shiyong patted his chest and reassured. Now Yan Shiyong's subordinates have more than 3,000 North Korean officers and soldiers, although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the Japanese Invaders, but it should be more than enough to block the Japanese Invaders for a few hours, thinking that there will be hundreds of fast guns in hand soon, Yan Shiyong's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.

"However, there is one thing I want to make upfront." Ren Chao immediately turned pale and said with a stern face, "I order you to hold your position for more than an hour, if your army can't resist even an hour, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Yan Shiyong thought about it in his heart, and expected that no matter how powerful the wouldn't be, it would be impossible to break through the defense line in just one hour, so he patted his chest and promised, "Please rest assured, Lord Ren!" The subordinate officer promised to complete the task. ”

Later, several people discussed the specific strategic deployment, and at this time, there was a sudden rumbling cannon sound in the distance. One of the guards hurriedly ran in, "Lord Qiyu, the Japanese have begun to launch artillery bombardments on my first line of defense!" ”

"! The little devil moves very fast! Ren Chao couldn't help but scold, then turned to Yan Shiyong and said, "Lord Yan, the Japanese are about to attack, so it's better for you to return to the position quickly and command nearby." ”

"Yes! The subordinate will go back and organize the troops to resist the Japanese invaders! Yan Shiyong answered, then turned around and strode away.

After Yan Shiyong left, Quan Qizhun arched his hand and said, "Since the Japanese have launched an attack, then the last general will also go back to organize the troops to prepare for battle." ”

"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded and said, "Please forgive me for being blunt, the combat effectiveness of your country's officers and troops is really not flattering." I'm afraid that Yan Shiyong won't be able to resist the Japanese at all, and this battle will depend on the Dongxue Army of General Quan's more efforts! ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Ren, as long as I am still alive, I want to step into Shanqing County for half a step!" Jeon said impassionedly.

"Yes!" Ren Chao smiled and nodded, "I'm relieved to have General Quan's words!" ”

Quan Qizhun turned around and strode away from Ren Chao's Chinese army tent, Ren Chao looked at the back of Quan Qizhun leaving, and shook his head slightly. The combat effectiveness of the North Korean officers and troops is indeed not worth mentioning, but the Donghak Army is just a rabble, and the only advantage is that there are many people, but it is useless to rely on the number of people in modern warfare. Therefore, the victory or defeat of this battle is still all on the Tiger Benjun, and Ren Chao feels a heavy responsibility. Pick up the saber on the table casually, "Let's go!" Let's go out and check it out! ”

"Boom!" In the midst of the violent explosions, patches of smoke and dust were lifted from the defensive positions of the DPRK officers and troops. A shell landed accurately in the trench, instantly tearing three North Korean officers and soldiers nearby to pieces.

"The Japanese are rushing up, hurry up and run for your life!" Some Korean officers and soldiers were frightened by the tremendous power of the Japanese artillery, completely lost the courage to resist, and began to turn around and flee for their lives.

"Lord Yan! You're finally back! The cannons are so powerful that we can't resist them! As soon as Yan Shiyong returned to the big tent, a North Korean general greeted him and howled loudly with a crying voice.

"Shut up! As a general, what kind of system is it to be so flustered in battle! Yan Shiyong pretended to be calm and reprimanded loudly. I have already made a military order in front of Lord Ren, and I must hold my position for five hours, otherwise military law will be conducted! Once defeated, Lord Ren wants the head of the official, and the official will cut off your head first! ”

"My lord! The Japanese are so powerful, let alone five hours, even if it is one hour, we can't hold it! Let's retreat! When the Korean general heard this, tears fell from his eyes, and he knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.

Yan Shiyong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcibly held back the horror in his heart, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "I don't care what method you use, you must hold the position, otherwise we will all die!" ”

After a slight pause, Yan Shiyong continued, "Send the Overseer team immediately, and anyone who dares to retreat without permission will be beheaded on the spot for public display." ”

"Yes!" The Overseers appointed by Yan Shiyong before the war bowed to the command.

"Remember, no matter what, you must hold off the attack of the Wokos. Lord Ren will send troops to help us defend our position! Just go! Yan Shiyong hurriedly instructed again. Looking at the back of the Overseer's departure, Yan Shiyong picked up the teacup on the table with trembling hands and took a sip before calming himself down slightly.
