The sand and dust were rolling, the sound of hooves was bursting, and more than 200,000 Japanese troops followed closely behind the 20,000 Taiping troops led by Dongfang Bufu, chasing after them.

As long as you think about this situation, I think it's a little interesting, just now Dongfang was not confused and proudly playing with Togi Xiaoyun, but now it has become Dongfang Bufu being chased away by the Japanese army, this relationship has become really fast, and it is completely reversed.

However, fortunately, this cat-and-mouse game did not last long, and the main force of the Seventh Army of the Taiping Army, which was not confused by the east, arrived, and the Japanese saw this and took the initiative to retreat, and as soon as the Japanese left, the chase was over.

Although this chase comes and goes quickly, it also gives people a thrilling feeling.

Thinking of Kido Xiaoyun, Dongfang didn't feel a little embarrassed, if he had known that this was the current situation, he should have killed this waste material earlier, but, thinking about it further, Dongfang Bufu was also relieved, because after the goods were repaired by him Dongfang Bufu, he was physically and mentally damaged, and he was already a wasted person, and it was difficult to make any big waves, and it didn't matter if he killed or not.

However, as the saying goes, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if the opponent of this goods is not Dongfang Bufu, but someone else, then, this goods is still a little threatening, but, having said that, it also depends on whether this product can restore the confidence that has been crippled by Dongfang Bufu, and confidence is sometimes difficult to say.

Returning to the garrison of the Seventh Legion, Dongfang Bufu ate comfortably, took a hot bath, and then slept beautifully, who knew that he slept for several hours, and when he woke up, the night was already deep, Dongfang Bufu looked at the dark night, and thought. Well, since it's late at night, let's go back to sleep, so Dongfang doesn't confuse him and continues to sleep.

This night, for Dongfang Bufu, it was really a very comfortable night, he slept so comfortably.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Dongfang Bufu asked his subordinates about the situation of the Japanese, and his subordinates reported that the Japanese army had not moved since yesterday's retreat, and they had sent people to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army, and if there was any change, they would report to Dongfang Bufu as soon as possible.

Dongfang was not confused to see that everything had been arranged properly and there were no loopholes, so he was relieved, he asked his subordinates to be vigilant and ready to deal with the attack of the Japanese army at any time, and after doing this, he began to deal with some daily military affairs.

Dongfang was not confused by this busy, it was one morning, he looked at the sky, felt a little hungry, and was about to ask someone to arrange lunch, but at this time, his guards came to report, and a messenger from the Eighth Army came to ask for an audience.

Eighth Legion? What will happen when you come here? Although Dongfang Bufu was a little surprised, he still hurriedly ordered someone to invite the messenger of the Eighth Legion to come in.

The subordinates will bring the people to see the East according to their words, and they will not be confused.

When the visitor saw Dongfang was not confused, he saluted, and after reporting to his home, he took out a letter from his side and respectfully handed it to Dongfang Bufu.

The letter is Chen Yucheng's own letter.

Dongfang took the letter without confusion, then opened it and read it carefully.

As he read, his face began to change slowly.

Before he could finish the letter, he slapped the table in front of him, and his face had become very ugly.

Come to think of it, something big must have happened.

"Where is your Legion Commander now?" The East is not confused and angry.

The man saw that Dongfang Bufu was not good at speaking, and thought that Chen Yucheng had said something that offended Dongfang Bufu in the letter and made him so angry, and his face suddenly changed, and then his legs were weak, and with a snap, the whole person fell to the ground, trembling like chaff, and said vigorously: "General Dongfang forgives, General Dongfang forgives sins..."

It seems that this man was really scared.

"Hey, General Ben just asked where your regiment commander is, is it necessary for you to make such a big salute?" Seeing that man's actions, Dongfang couldn't help laughing.

He gave this person such an inexplicable kneeling, it really felt a little inexplicable.

"This, this... General, you didn't read our general's letter that you... The villain thought it was my general.......my general..."The man said tremblingly.

Dongfang Bufu listened to it for a long time, and then he heard it clearly, oh, it turned out that this person thought that he was angry with Chen Yucheng, so he was scared like this, it seems that this person misunderstood himself.

"What, you don't have to be afraid, General Ben's anger has nothing to do with your general, General Ben just wants to ask. Where is your general now?" Dongfang Bufu calmed the man. And then he said.

The man heard that the reason why Dongfang was not confused and angry had nothing to do with Chen Yucheng, and his nervous heart was relaxed. Then he said, "My general has withdrawn his troops back to Pyongyang."

"Well, General Ben knows, you go first, go back and tell your general, the letter has been received, and the good intentions are understood." Dongfang Bufu nodded and said quietly.

"Yes." The man took the command and withdrew.

Dongfang was not confused and waited for the person to leave, his face darkened again, and he pondered for a while before giving an order.

Withdrawal! The army is ready to pull out the camp. Withdraw to Pyongyang City.

The generals under the tent felt very strange when they heard that Dongfang Bufu suddenly gave an inexplicable order, saying that they were going to withdraw the army, but since the order of the corps commander had been given, the generals could only obey the order and immediately arrange the withdrawal of the army.

It is no wonder that everyone feels baffled, their Seventh Army is facing off against the Japanese here, as far as the current situation is concerned. They still have the upper hand, and what is the reason for this unexplained withdrawal? It really made the soldiers wonder.

Of course, Dongfang Bufu understands everyone's thoughts, but he himself is not full of bitter water, thinking that he led the Seventh Army in the process of confrontation with Takasugi Jinsaku, it can be said that he has the upper hand, and the hope of winning in the end is great, but there is such a big problem behind him, and the situation is like this, he has to retreat.

So what was the big thing that made Dongfang Bufu have to retreat?

Big deal, of course!

Chen Yucheng of the Eighth Army has made it very clear in his letter.

Surrounded by the 8th Army Corps and the Korean Guards Corps, Hiyoshida Matsuyin managed to break through.

This is indeed a big deal, no wonder Dongfang Bufu slapped the table angrily on the spot, he wanted to know why he let Yoshida Matsu's team run away. However, Chen Yucheng did not give a detailed account of the escape of Yoshida Songyin in the letter, he only understated that the Eighth Army and the Korean Army had withdrawn to Pyongyang City, and believed that the order for the withdrawal of the Seventh Army would come soon, so he wrote a letter to remind Dongfang not to be confused and prepare in advance.

It seems that if you want to know the reason why Yoshida Shoin ran away, you can only ask in detail after returning to Pyongyang.

Now, now that the Japanese army has broken through and the Eighth Army has withdrawn, it is meaningless for the Seventh Army Corps, which is not confused in the east, to stay here.

This is like playing chess, it was originally a good game of chess, it was already a stable upper hand, and it was about to slaughter the opponent's big dragon, but I didn't think about it, but at this time the other party made a strange move, and suddenly reversed the situation, so that the situation on the board became less clear, so since the good opportunity has been lost, it can only temporarily retreat, take a defensive position, and then find a way to break the enemy.

Not long after Dongfang Bufu's retreat order was issued, Tian Xiaoer's official document ordering him to withdraw his troops also arrived, and the meaning of the order was that the situation had changed, and the withdrawal of the army would allow it to be done.

When they received Tian Xiaoer's order, the retreat of the Seventh Army was also ready, and they could retreat at any time, but Dongfang Bufu still had a worry, that is, if after they withdrew, the Japanese army would follow and come to Pyongyang, so what would happen?

Later, he thought about it carefully, and felt that the Japanese army would not do this, because the Japanese were already a tired division when they came from a long distance, and besides, the Japanese army had just suffered heavy losses outside Pyongyang, and Yoshida Shoin's three corps almost finished playing, and finally broke through, so that this game of chess had the possibility of continuing to play, how could they stir up trouble at this time.

Thinking of this, Dongfang didn't think about it.

However, some necessary preparations still need to be made, such as who will break the back and how to break it.

So, after some careful arrangements, the Eighth Army of the Taiping Army, led by Dongfang Bufu, safely withdrew to Pyongyang City. (To be continued......)
