On the night of September 16, a group of ragged Japanese soldiers ran into the port of Incheon in a panic.

"Stop! What do you do dripping? The Japanese soldiers guarding the harbor asked loudly.

"We are from the Fifth Brigade, originally stationed in Seoul, this afternoon the Qing army and the North Korean army captured Seoul, we broke through and fled here, let us in, the Qing army's large force is about to arrive!" One of the Japanese soldiers at the head said violently while gasping.

"Nani! Seoul is lost! Wait here for a while, I'll report to the commander first! The guard said, turning and running into the harbor.

After about five minutes, a Japanese captain and officer led dozens of little devils to run out, and by this time more than 200 Japanese troops had gathered on the road outside the port. The Japanese captain frowned and asked, "You all escaped from Seoul?" ”

"Returning to the sir, we all escaped from Seoul, please let us in quickly, the Qing army's large army will soon chase after us!" The leading rout shouted loudly, and at this time the rout began to stir, and everyone shouted "Let us in!" "While squeezing into the harbor.

"Bang bang!" The Japanese captain took out his pistol and fired several shots into the sky and scolded loudly, "Bagaya Road! If you deserters are no longer honest, I will correct all of you on the spot! Now I ask you, how many Qing soldiers are there chasing you? How far is it from the port? ”

"About a thousand people!" "It's less than ten miles away!" The two routs scrambled to answer first.

"Yaga!" The Japanese captain's brows furrowed obviously, "You group of deserters have listened to me, I will give you a chance to make up for your merits now, as long as you assist us in repelling the attacking Qing army and ensure the safety of the port, I can plead with the commander not to hold you accountable for escaping from the battle, and I will also give you credit!" ”

Are you sure? "We're willing to help the Governor guard the harbor together!" Several Japanese soldiers hurriedly replied.

"Yo Xi!" The Japanese captain nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, "Move the barricades and let them in!" Immediately, several Japanese soldiers ran forward to remove the barricades, and the Japanese soldiers outside had been waiting impatiently and immediately rushed in.

The Japanese captain looked at this group of soldiers who had been frightened, and still shook his head, now the situation is critical, and he can only use this gang of waste for the time being, where is the Japanese captain thinking about how to resist the Qing army that is about to arrive. At this time, a rout suddenly squeezed over, "Sir, I have important information to report to you here!" ”

"Important information, what important information?" The captain asked with a frown.

"It's about the intelligence of the Qing army!" The rout took two more steps closer to the captain as he spoke, "This information is very important, it's better not to let too many people know about it, I also learned this information by accident." ”

"Yo Xi!" The captain couldn't help but be interested when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then you should tell me what important information you have obtained." ”

"On the way here, I heard two Qing army officers talking, and they said that they would send people to disguise themselves as rout soldiers and then blend into the harbor." The defeated soldier whispered mysteriously.

"What did you say?" The Japanese captain was shocked when he heard this, "Baga! Hold it! Stop them! ”

"Poof!" Before the Japanese captain could speak, he felt a cold in his chest, and looked down to see that a sharp dagger had accurately pierced his heart, and then the rout flew up and kicked the Japanese captain directly to the ground.

At the same time, there was a sound of popping and popping around at the same time, and the Qing soldiers who crowded into the port took out their bayonets and stabbed into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers around them without hesitation. It turned out that this group of Japanese soldiers were all disguised as soldiers of the Tiger Army.

"Bang!" Just then, a flare took off into the air and exploded in the night sky, as colorful as fireworks.

"Kill!" With the flares, the earth-shattering shouts of killing immediately sounded on the avenue in the distance, and hundreds of torches were also ignited instantly, rushing towards the port like fire dragons.

"Kill!" After the more than 200 Tiger Ben soldiers disguised as little devils entered the port, they immediately dispersed and rushed directly into the Japanese military camp. Many little devils went to their Amaterasu in a daze while they were still asleep. All of a sudden, the port of Incheon was in chaos, and the sound of gunfire and explosions shattered the tranquility of the port, and the screams and shouts of killing were constantly carried into the distance by the howling sea breeze.

"Lord Ren, it's not too early, you better rest early!" At this time, it was already late at night, and the lights were still bright in the headquarters of the Tiger Ben Army, and Zhou Tai couldn't help but persuade when he looked at the exhausted Ren Chao.

Ren Chao waved his hand and said, "Isn't there any news from Incheon yet?" ”

"My lord! You can rest assured! Zhao Bin personally led more than 1,000 brothers and couldn't take a small Incheon port? I'll report back to you as soon as the news comes back! Zhou Tai said with a smile.

"I'm not worried about Incheon, if my guess is correct, I'm afraid the main Japanese army in Pyongyang is already on its way to Seoul!" Ren Chao said with a frown.

"About 6,000 people of the Japanese Yuanshan Detachment and the Shuoning Detachment have already gone south, and they are now on their way to Seoul, according to the itinerary of the Japanese army, it is estimated that it will take less than a few days to arrive!" Zhou Tai said with a sigh.

"So we're running out of time!" Ren Chao couldn't help but show a wry smile, "And I'm worried that it's not just the Yuanshan and Shuoning detachments who came back, after the battle between Shanqing and Seoul, Katsura Taro doesn't dare to underestimate us anymore, it's impossible for him to only send a few thousand people back to die!" ”

"If that's the case, then it's trouble!" Zhou Tai couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Strengthen the strength of another battalion here, and add a company of troops here to guard, and set up some alert troops here to prevent the little devils from sneaking up!" Ren Chao said, pointing to a few points on the map. "The rest will be executed according to the plan!" After Ren Chao finished speaking, he clipped the text on the table and handed it to the staff officer beside him.

"Yes!" The staff officer took the text and turned to leave.

"Report~!" Ren Chao was about to go back to his room to rest, when a personal guard ran in with a letter, "Incheon front, emergency military situation report to Lord Ren." ”

Ren Chao took the envelope casually, tore it open, took out a piece of stationery from it, unfolded it and read it carefully, Ren Chao's face became ugly, "It's bad!" ”

"Lord Ren? What happened, didn't Zhao Bin take Incheon? Zhou Tai asked puzzled.

Ren Chao sighed and handed the letter to Zhou Tai casually, "Look at it yourself!" ”
