Chapter 52: Nozu Michikoto is the head

"Old devil! Do you have two more hits? Eat me again! Saying that, Ren Chao took two steps forward, jumped high, raised his big knife and slashed at the top of Nozu Daoguan's head.

"Good chance!" Nozu Michikan was secretly happy in his heart, after the previous fight, Nozu Michikan also saw Ren Chao's bottom line, this guy's knife skills are really ordinary, just relying on brute strength. In front of him, Ren Chao's knife revealed a great flaw, and Nozu Daoguan was sure to kill Ren Chao on the spot with one sword!

The white light flashed, and Nozu Michikan let out a scream like killing a pig, and blood spurted out of the wound like a fountain, splashing Ren Chao and Nozu Michikan all over their heads! After all, Nozu Michikan is old, his body is not supported, his arms are starting to become stiff, and his movements are naturally a lot slower, and the trick that could have killed Ren Chao has just been halfway through, and Ren Chao's knife has already slashed at Nozu Michikan's shoulder. A trace of unwillingness flashed in Nozu Michikan's eyes, and the last trace of strength on his body was also drained along with the blood spurting out, and the katana in his hand couldn't hand forward half a point at all.

Ren Chao looked at the blade close at hand, and he also had palpitations, it seems that he still has to practice the knife technique diligently, if this old devil's speed can be half a point faster, I am afraid that he will already be dead on the spot!

Ren Chao flew up with a kick, directly kicked out Nozu Michikan's body, took two steps forward, stepped on Nozu Michikan's chest with one foot, and directly chopped off Nozu Michikan's dog head with a knife!

A personal soldier next to him ran forward directly, picked up Nozu Michikan's dog head directly with a bayonet, and held it high above his head!

After a fierce white-knuckle fight, more than half of the more than 100 little devils had already been lost, and the Tiger Ben Army, which had an absolute advantage in strength, had completely taken control of the battlefield. At this time, seeing the boss being killed, the surviving little devils suddenly lost their last courage, and some began to turn around and flee for their lives.

In just half an hour, Nozu Michikan, together with his escort squadron, more than a hundred little devils were all killed on the spot!

After Ito Shaosa, who had just entered Xianyang City, learned the news of the destruction of Nozu Michiguan and the entire guard, he glanced at the soldiers of the Tiger Army who were still desperately resisting in the city, and sighed helplessly, "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

But now it was too late to evacuate, and the defenders in the city learned that the reinforcements had arrived, and they all went out of the city, and under the attack from both sides, the hundreds of little devils at the south gate were quickly wiped out. At this time, Zhou Tai also led his troops to arrive in time and directly joined the battlefield!

The little devils of the two squadrons outside the east gate and the west gate were also successfully annihilated by the Tiger Ben army who rushed over!

Only the Yamada squadron, which was lying in ambush outside the northern castle, immediately fled north after learning the news of the killing of Nozu Michikani and temporarily fled from Xianyang. However, in the evening of the same day, due to a hasty escape, they lost their path, and Yamada's squadron was very unfortunate to encounter a unit of the Togakuan Army that rushed to Shanqing to support. Although this shareholder Xuejun is not an elite army, but with 3,000 people to deal with less than 200 little devils, the result can be imagined! After a fierce battle, only a few dozen little devils and wolves fled into the nearby mountains and forests.

Squadron Leader Yamada led the remaining dozens of his men to go north to meet the main Japanese forces near Seoul. There was no supply along the way, the little devil could only go to the nearby village to rob, and in order not to reveal his whereabouts, the little devil brutally slaughtered hundreds of Koreans, and finally attracted the attention of the nearby Dongxue army, and soon the nearby Dongxue Taoist believers gathered thousands of people to chase and kill this Japanese army, and finally succeeded in annihilating all the small Japanese troops.

As soon as Ren Chao entered the city, he saw Zhao Bin, who was covered in bandages, pounce over, knelt in front of Ren Chao and cried bitterly, "My lord! You're finally here, and I thought I'd never see you again! ”

Ren Chao helped Zhao Bin up, "I'm sorry I'm late!" What about the casualties of the troops! ”

"My second battalion has 500 people, and after this battle, including the wounded, there are now less than 200 people!" Zhao Bin cried and said.

Ren Chao couldn't help but feel sad when he heard it, and sighed helplessly, "Don't worry!" The sacrifice of the brethren will not be in vain. I'll give you enough men to rebuild the second infantry battalion!" How are your injuries? Ren Chao pointed to the bandages on Zhao Bin's body.

Zhao Bin wiped a handful of tears and said with a grin, "It's all skin trauma, and it will be fine after a few days, adults don't have to worry!" ”

"That's good!" Ren Chao nodded, and then beckoned the two Tiger Ben Army soldiers with a wave of his hand, "Take your battalion commander down to rest immediately!" I'll leave it to me here, you can take care of your injuries! Ren Chao said and patted Zhao Bin's shoulder.

"Yes!" Zhao Bin nodded gratefully, and followed the two soldiers down to rest!

Ren Chao climbed the Xianyang city wall, looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder, and couldn't help sighing, "Is there any news from Shanqing?" ”

"Not yet!" Zhou Tai shook his head and said.

"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded noncommittally and said, "Let all the troops enter the city to recuperate, except for the wounded who stay in Xianyang to recuperate early tomorrow morning, everyone else will return to Shanqing with me, and Lao Tzu will settle the account with the little devils of the Fifth Division!" ”

"Order!" Zhou Tai bowed down to receive the order.

Early the next morning, Ren Chao led more than a thousand tiger troops to leave Xianyang County and drive to Shanqing County!

In the southern part of Shanqing County, in the Japanese army camp. The chief of staff of the Fifth Division, Ueda Arisawa Daisa, looked at the dozens of Japanese officers standing in front of him, and said with a stern face, "I just received the latest news, His Excellency the commander of the Nozu Michiguan Division personally led the troops to raid Xianyang City and was defeated, and the commander of the Nozu Michiguan Division and more than 1,000 warriors of the Locust Army are all loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

After Ueda Arisawa finished speaking, dozens of little devils bowed their heads together in silence! After a long time, Ueda Arisawa spoke, "Your Excellency Commander Nozu is the pride of the Locust Army, and the most loyal and brave samurai of His Majesty the Emperor!" We must uphold the will of His Excellency the division commander and defeat the enemy! ”

"Your Excellency! After a series of great battles, our army is now less than 3,000 men, but the enemy army has tens of thousands, more than 20 times our strength, how can we defeat the enemy? At this time, a junior officer stood up and said.

"Baga Ya Road! Are you scared! Ueda Arisawa reprimanded loudly with a pair of dog-eyed eyes.

"Your Excellency, it's not that you're afraid of your humble duties! It's that the enemy is too strong, and we have no certainty of victory. If we continue to fight, we will only sacrifice the precious lives of the locust army in vain! Therefore, you can either make a detour north to meet the main force of the locust army in Seoul, or withdraw from Jinju or even Busan! After waiting for reinforcements to arrive, it is best to fight the enemy again! Officer Shaozo said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Baga Ya Road! You cowardly coward, if you dare to speak out again to disturb the morale of the army, I will punish you for military justice! Ueda Arisawa said angrily.
