Liu Kun's attack on Haicheng made the foreigners who came to watch this war dumbfounded, this is not a war, this is purely washing the ground with shells, more than 500 cannons are constantly pouring shells towards the Japanese defense line, and nothing can be seen on the opposite side except for gunpowder smoke and fire.

Liu Kunyi is also helpless at this point, his soldiers have long been frightened by the Japanese machine guns, if the entire Japanese defense line is not completely ploughed, it is estimated that the most difficult will still be a waste of strength, anyway, he has no shortage of shells, not far from the Niuzhuang wharf, the merchant ships coming from the south are constantly sending a boatload of shells, since this is the case, then simply use the cannon as a gun, smash hundreds of thousands of shells over, if the Japanese army on the opposite side still has the ability to resist, it is simply incredible.

But even so, he failed to capture Haicheng before Youpeng retreated in Shanxian County, locking the only way to retreat, and the Japanese strong man left 5,000 people like a broken wrist to continue to block, and then the remaining 20,000 main forces did not hesitate to retreat to Ximu City, and then rushed towards Xiuyan between the rugged mountain roads.

However, their retreat was not smooth, the mountains along the way were full of small-scale ambushes of their militias, and now their evil deeds of blowing up the graves of wild boar skin father and son have spread, plus these guys have massacred the Manchus in the northeast, which has aroused great hatred, after all, the Manchus in Liaodong are still somewhat different from the garbage in Beijing, and they have not yet been corrupted to the point where they have no other skills than to smoke a big cigarette and wait for death.

These Manchurian hunters, who still retain some of the wild ancestors of their ancestors, are full of hatred in the mountains and forests and keep attacking the Japanese army with earthen guns and even bows and arrows, and their bravery makes Shanxian jaw-dropping, although this kind of small-scale attack can not stop them, but the number is still very annoying, he had to burn all the way and flee all the way, after this war Liaodong can be regarded as a miserable scourge by the Japanese, basically everywhere dead corpses everywhere in ruins.

As for the Japanese army after the break, in order to ensure that they could safely withdraw across the Yalu River. The task given to them by Youpeng in Shan County was how long they could hold on, and as a result, the Japanese army held on for two days before being bombarded into slag by Liu Kun, and more than 500 remnants of the army withdrew from Haicheng after the last day, and of course, all the 500 people disappeared among the mountains and mountains of Xiuyan.

After taking Haicheng, Liu Kunyi immediately killed Xiuyan, but at this time, Shanxian had already withdrawn to Andong, and at the same time, the Japanese army that was in a stalemate with Iketanga in Motianling also withdrew to Fengcheng, and Iketanga was unable to pursue and could only watch them retreat, although he blocked the Japanese army here, and killed thousands of Japanese soldiers so far, but his own losses also exceeded two thousand.

However, the main force of the Japanese army commanded by Yama County. When he arrived at Dagu Mountain, and then ran along the coast to Andong, he suffered heavy losses, because at this time the Beiyang Naval Division arrived, and Li Ergui transferred the entire fleet back to help the war in order to show favor to Cixi, and originally wanted to take 5,000 Huai troops to land in Dagu Mountain to block the Japanese army, but it was a step too late.

Landing is not possible, but it is easy to bombard with naval guns. Eight capital ships lined up, dozens of large-caliber heavy guns targeted the retreating Japanese troops, and when Yamaguchi finally fled to Andong in shock, this burst of artillery bombardment alone cost him almost a wing. Of course, at this time, he couldn't care about the remembrance, and he would quickly escape back to North Korea through the original pontoon bridge after withdrawing from Fengcheng, and then blow up the pontoon bridge to deploy along the river.

And it was at this time that the most terrible news for the Japanese finally came. Russian troops landed, but not in Hokkaido, but directly in Honshu. Escorted by more than a dozen warships transferred from Europe, 40,000 Russian troops landed in Hirosaki and Akita respectively, and although they were desperately blocked by the Japanese Eighth Division, it was clear that they would not last long.

This division can't even make a rifle per man, so what can it do to fight an enemy almost three times its size? What's more, the other side still has fleet support, and the Russian army on the southern road soon occupied Akita, where the savage nature of the woolly bear was fully revealed, burning, killing and looting were all evil, and even in the most resolute resistance to Nodai, the entire city was killed by them.

Although the northern front was blocked under Hirosaki Castle, this did not make much sense, because it was said that the second group of Russian troops had also boarded Vladivostok, and Nikolai had prepared a full 200,000 troops for this expedition, and it was clear that his ambition was far from being as simple as ceding land.

"What the hell are our Russian friends trying to do?" Yang Feng sat in the Japanese Imperial Palace, while taking a fishing rod to learn from Jiang Taigong, and said to Waldzer worriedly, of course, this thing knows what Nikolai wants to do, and it is estimated that he thinks that the scar on his face should be worth the whole of Japan, at least half of Japan, and Hokkaido is obviously not worth enough.

"Yang, I think it's time for us to think about new negotiating conditions." Waldzer also said with a solemn expression that the Russian ambition Wilhelm also did not like, knowing that Russia was not an alliance, in fact, with the end of the reinsurance treaty and the signing of the Franco-Russian alliance treaty, the two countries should be said to be potential enemies, so the large-scale expansion of the Russians in the Far East was not in the interests of the Germans.

If you add an extremely greedy polar bear, the competition will be cruel, after all, Germany has no advantage here, not even a base, but the Russians have Vladivostok.

"It really should be so, the Russians are too ambitious, it's not good news for all of us, and now it's time to contain them." Yang Feng said with deep sympathy, he now wishes to let Nikolai fight with the emperor in Japan, it is best for both sides to die a few million, then everyone will be happy, especially China, in a short period of time, there is no need to think about the threat from the north.

Now Yang Feng is most worried about this problem, Japan's defeat is a foregone conclusion, then the protagonist of the next wrestling in North Korea must be China and Russia, to be honest, with his current ability, it is indeed very easy to play Japan to death, but if you want to play Russia to death, it is really a little powerless, Japan's lifeblood is at sea, and solving the combined fleet is equivalent to solving Japan, but the Russians are different, more than a dozen and hundreds of thousands of Russian troops went south, and even he had to be blind at that time, so this goods did everything possible to pull the Russians' attention to Japan.

Since they have succeeded, they must be locked here, and no matter who wins at the end of the day, it is the Chinese who will benefit.

"Look at this, I will come forward to help you contact the British, anyway, they don't want to see the Russians go south, on the contrary, it is acceptable for your country to get some place in the Far East, the British have now occupied half of Kyushu Island, it is better to simply let them put pressure on Japan, Britain and Germany will give half of Kyushu Island, and then give those small islands to the Ryukyus in the south, in exchange we can help them resist the Russian invasion." Yang Feng said.

"Yes." Waldzer said with a smile.

The two shameless men betrayed their allies, but they could no longer be considered allies, because the Russian cruisers had withdrawn from the coalition and gone to war in the north.

After determining this, Yang Feng jumped to Tianjin as fast as possible, but this guy didn't dare to go ashore, now he offended too many people, in case he was taken by Lafayette after going ashore, it would be troublesome, now is not the time to land with a large army, this goods directly sent a telegram to the British Minister to China Ogne, and the German Minister Gentry were invited to the Nautilus.

"You must both know the news of the Russian landing in Aomori, right? In fact, Count Waldzer and I have decided to agree to the conditions of the Japanese a month ago, but because of the refusal of the Russians, it is not easy for us to unilaterally agree, after all, unity as a coalition is the most important thing, but from the current situation, it is clear that the Russians have other plans, so we have to think about it.

I think that the Russians control Japan, it should be said that you don't like to see it, and I don't like it, so we must withdraw from the war on the premise of ensuring our interests, my proposal is very simple, Britain and Germany divide the island of Kyushu equally, one family leases half of it, Britain leases the western half, Germany leases the eastern half, and cedes the islands south of Tanegashima to the Ryukyus, as for the indemnity of 20 million, it will be 20 million, in fact, this country does not have much money to take, and if they continue to force it, they will have to dig up the graves of the emperors to make money. Yang Feng said somewhat helplessly, he really regretted this, it is said that there are a lot of good things in those hundreds of emperor's tombs.

At this time, this goods suddenly had a very shameless thought, he couldn't dig it but he could let it out, and the Russians would definitely not let them go, otherwise it would be difficult for Nikolai to have a lasting interest in Japan, after all, this country wants resources but no resources, land and no land, and he will not like geisha who paints like ghosts, in case one day because of the resistance of the Japanese and resolutely give up the ambition to conquer this land, it will not be fun.

For his suggestion, the two of them naturally agreed very much, and now the British are worried about how to ensure the sovereignty of Japan, these guys seem to have always had a special affection for Japan, but now in this situation it is a bit too risky to send troops to help Japan, in that case, it will offend all countries, you must know that the Gulf of Tonkin is no longer an eight-nation coalition army, plus Italy, Austria, France, and even Spain and the Netherlands who participated later, came to take advantage of the fire to rob, and now this is the Thirteen-Nation Alliance.

And the original target of the Germans was only Kagoshima, and half of Kyushu can be said to be very satisfied, as for reparations or something, Wilhelm really didn't have much interest in this thing. (To be continued......)
