Chapter 465: The Japanese are a step ahead

Dongfang Bufu was told after the leader returned to the city that the West Gate was attacked by the Japanese army very urgently, so Tian Xiaoer and the people of the coalition command had led the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps to rush to reinforcements.

Dongfang Bufu heard that Simon was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and he accepted the order with trepidation, secretly speculating about Simon's situation.

Moreover, Dongfang Bufu secretly scolded the Japanese in his heart, he felt that this Japanese was really cunning, and even gave them this trick, no wonder Saigo Takamori was so fearless, it turned out to be this basis, Dongfang Bufu only thought about Saigo Takamori's expression before leaving and the words he said, and he hated it in his heart.

However, hate to hate, what he can do at present is to follow Tian Xiaoer's order to guard the east gate, and then wait for the news of the west gate.

And Dongfang Bufu thought about it for about an hour, he really couldn't stand it, just when he was about to send someone to the West Gate to take a look at the situation, suddenly a herald from the command headquarters came to summon Dongfang Bufu back to the coalition headquarters to discuss the matter.

Hearing that Tian Xiaoer and others had returned to the coalition headquarters, Dongfang was not confused and knew that the danger of the West Gate had been lifted, so his heart was also a little calmer, and then, he explained the defense of the East Gate to his subordinates, and then hurried to the coalition headquarters.

When Dongfang Bufu arrived at the headquarters of the coalition army, several other generals had already arrived, including Lu Qingtian and Li Kaifang, the chief and deputy commanders of the Sixth Army, and Chen Yucheng and Luo Xuan, the chief and deputy commanders of the Eighth Army.

Dongfang Bufu saw Tian Xiaoer sitting at the head of the seat with a solemn face, and the military advisor Wang Xiaoyong was sitting in the first place on his right, and the first position on the left was still empty, presumably it was left to Dongfang Bufu.

In short, the feeling that Dongfang is not confused is that the atmosphere in the headquarters is very dull, and it can be seen at a glance. Everyone seems to have a lot on their minds.

Seeing this, Dongfang did not dare to joke as usual, he honestly walked to the first seat on the left side and sat down, then bowed his head in confusion, and became dull with everyone.

"General Chen, have all the Japanese troops retreated?" The first to break the silence was Tian Xiaoer.

Seeing Tian Xiaoer's question, Chen Yucheng hurriedly stood up, clenched his fists and said respectfully: "The outline led the army out of the city to chase after him, but the Japanese army was very well guarded, and he was afraid of being ambushed, so he could only let the Japanese army leave."

Chen Yucheng did not directly answer yes or no, but explained in more detail, of course, the meaning in this sentence is that the Japanese army has gone far.

"Alas, General Chen, you sit down first." Tian Xiaoer let out a long sigh and asked Chen Yucheng to sit down first.

This is also a helpless thing, Tian Xiaoer can only admit it.

"Marshal, the matter has come to this, it is useless to think about more, let's discuss what to do next." Wang Xiaoyong comforted rather calmly.

At this moment, the most sober-minded person is probably Wang Xiaoyong.

However, these words before and after made Dongfang not confused to feel that the clouds and mountains were foggy, he looked around in a daze, it was confused, and in the end, he couldn't help it, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Marshal, everyone, what are you talking about, how can I listen to it, I just don't understand it."

His roar made everyone look at each other, and most people didn't know whether to answer him or not, and for a while, everyone fell silent.

Perhaps it was Dongfang Bufu's shelling that indirectly reminded Tian Xiaoer, and he said thoughtfully: "Well, there are some things that need to be reviewed again, the past is not forgotten, the division of the later generations, although it is an afterthought, but sometimes the afterthought is more meaningful than the horse, General Chen, I think, you know the whole story of this matter, then please tell everyone here about the front and back of the matter."

Chen Yucheng received the order, and then explained the whole thing in detail to the people present.

Dongfang was not confused, but he opened his ears and listened carefully, not daring to miss a word.

Something like this.

When Dongfang Bufu was at war with Saigo Takamori, Simon had an accident at this time.

The reason for the change was that more than 200,000 Japanese troops poured out at the west gate at once, and the leader of the army was the commander of the Japanese army, Hirobumi Ito.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Eighth Army who were guarding the city gate did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the commander of the regiment Chen Yucheng, and after Chen Yucheng heard the report, he was also shocked, and Pegasus reported to Tian Xiaoer, Tian Xiaoer was even more shocked after hearing the report, after he discussed with Wang Xiaoyong, on the one hand, he ordered to recall the east and not to confuse the east gate, and on the other hand, he ordered the main force of the sixth and eighth army corps to immediately rush to the west gate, and he led the coalition command to move the west gate.

When Tian Xiaoer and the commander of the coalition army arrived at the West Gate, they heard that the Japanese army had retreated, and the deputy commander of the Eighth Army Corps, Luo Xuan, had already led the main force of the Eighth Army to pursue the Japanese army out of the West Gate.

Therefore, Tian Xiaoer decided to set up a temporary headquarters here and summoned relevant people to discuss here.

But. How did the West Gate come to be?

According to the general guarding the west gate, when the Japanese army appeared outside the city, their attention was attracted by this part of the Japanese army, but unexpectedly a group of black-clothed people of unknown origin appeared behind them, this group of black-clothed people was strong, and they killed the soldiers of the Eighth Legion guarding the gate.

And after this part of the people go out. At this time, the main forces of the 6th and 8th Army Corps arrived, and as soon as they came, the Japanese troops who were preparing to attack the city turned over and returned, and then quickly retreated.

The main force of the Eighth Army pursued under the leadership of Luo Xuan.

That's how it all happened.

After Chen Yucheng finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and then exhaled again, as if he wanted to spit out the depression in his heart.

After listening to Chen Yucheng's words, Dongfang Bufu was shocked, and he suddenly woke up to one thing, the Japanese army was able to break through the West Gate this time thanks to the group of black-clothed people who attacked from behind the Taiping army guarding the West Gate. It was the killing of this group of men in black that made the Taiping army's defense useless.

And those who can join the same stream with Hirofumi Ito outside the city, needless to say. It must be Japanese, but. How could there be Japan in Kaesong, and when did these Japanese get involved?

Dongfang Bufu thought about this question again and again, and suddenly, as if the sky was hitting a mine, he thought of a possibility, and there was no doubt that it must be so, he couldn't help but shout: "I know who these men in black are?"

Dongfang was not confused by this, and all the eyes of the people were attracted.

"Marshal, everyone, if my expectations are correct, this group of black-clothed people should be the Togi Takayo and others that we have been searching for for a long time but have not been able to." The East does not confuse and hate the authentic.

If it's really Togi Takayo and others, then Dongfang is not confused this time it will be a shame and a big loss.

"It's them..."Tian Xiaoer and the others all suddenly realized.

If it is really this group of people, then it makes sense, in this Kaesong, there can be such combat power, and it is still Japanese. It must be Togi Takayo and his gang.

Obviously, these Japanese are hiding too deeply, and they play a very bad role at a critical time.

Dongfang Bufu and the Taiping Army suffered a secret loss on this group of people this time, they originally wanted to calculate others, but they didn't expect to let others calculate, stealing chickens instead of eating a handful of rice, which was a shame and thrown home.

"Marshal, I ask for an order to go and kill Togi Takayo." Dongfang Bufu was really angry in his heart, he hated to tear Togi Xiaoyun, and finally, he couldn't help but ask for his life.

If you can't break Togi Xiaoyun's body into ten thousand pieces, Dongfang will not be confused and difficult to solve the hatred in his heart.

"Orient, don't be impatient, now is not the time to act on individual heroism, killing people is small, defeating the entire Japanese military, and you have to think about it in the long run." Tian Xiaoer stepped forward and patted Dongfang Bufu's shoulder, and Wen Yan comforted.

The reason why Tian Xiaoer was able to become the commander of the army was not only because he had extraordinary military talent, but also because he was cool-headed, and he had an extraordinary view of the overall situation, which were the reasons why he was selected by Huang Xu and became the commander of the army.

So, since Tian Xiaoer said so, Dongfang is not confused, no matter how reluctant he is, he can only obey the order, and he can only swallow this breath temporarily.

"Okay, all the ins and outs are clear, this round, we should be considered losing, but fortunately, our loss is not too big, let's stop here." Speaking of this, Tian Xiaoer paused, and then continued with a wave of his hand: "Moreover, Kaesong has fallen, the Battle of Kaesong has ended, and we also have to prepare for the next big battle, the Battle of Seoul, everyone, please cheer up and strive to annihilate most of Japan in Seoul, so as to lay a solid foundation for the final battle." Tian Xiaoer said generously.

When the people heard this, they solemnly received the order.

Therefore, Tian Xiaoer asked Wang Xiaoyong to introduce the relevant situation of the Battle of Seoul to everyone present, and with the end of the meeting, the Battle of Kaesong officially began.

After sending everyone away, Tian Xiaoer explained the battle of Kaesong to Huang Xu, who was far away in the imperial capital, and said that he was ready to march to Seoul, and asked Huang Xu to wait for good news in the imperial capital of China. (To be continued......)
