Chapter 447: Who is coming?
Hearing this unexpected shout of killing, the battle between Lu Qingtian and Takasugi Jinsaku involuntarily came to an abrupt end, and they turned to look at the source of the shouting in disbelief, wanting to see what was going on.
They saw a dazzling sun flag fluttering in the wind.
It's the Japanese army! If it's not the Japanese army, who else can there be.
When the two of them saw that it was the Japanese army that came, their respective attitudes immediately took a 180-degree turn, Lu Qingtian was surprised, as if he had eaten a dead fly, his face became very ugly, while Takasugi Jinsaku was ecstatic, the excessive excitement even made his pale face flush with a hint of ruddy, and his whole person immediately became vibrant.
This change is also coming too quickly.
However, since it is the Japanese army, what is the origin of this Japanese army?
Lu Qingtian looked at the banner of the Japanese army, and then determined that this was the Japanese army led by Saigo Takamori, and it was estimated that there were more than 100,000 people.
It turned out that Ito Hirobumi, who was sitting in Kaesong, had been closely monitoring the battle situation here, and when he felt that the shape was very unfavorable to the Japanese army, he issued an order to Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori, he ordered the two to divide the three divisions led by them into two parts, one part was led by Sakamoto Ryoma, trying to hold back the Eighth Army of the Taiping Army, and the other part was led by Saigo Takamori, who rushed to the aid of Takasugi Shinsaku, and Sakamoto Ryoma led only the sixth division, but Saigo Takamori led the fourth and fifth divisions, This shows that the Japanese command was worried about the situation here.
Therefore, this is the appearance of Saigo Takamori.
The arrival of the new force made the Japanese army once again vigorous.
And looking at the new force of the Japanese army fighting for their lives to attack the Taiping Army, Lu Qingtian's face became more and more solemn, and his mood was even worse.
"Fuck, why didn't you come late, didn't come early, but at this time, it's fucking unlucky." Lu Qingtian scolded himself for a while, and then turned his head to Takasugi Jinsaku and said: "You stinky Japan, this time you are lucky, you have shit luck, Lao Tzu will let you go for the time being this time, get out!"
Although Lu Qingtian was very reluctant, he also had to change his course, he could no longer entangle with Takasugi Jinsaku here, after all, if compared to the situation encountered by the Taiping army, the matter of killing Takasugi Jinsaku would become insignificant, so he could only release Takasugi Jinsaku, and then hurry back to command the army to retreat from the enemy.
This shape is really unpredictable.
After Lu Qingtian finished scolding, he didn't forget to glance at Takasugi Jinsaku fiercely, and then he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the Taiping Army Brigade.
Looking at Lu Qingtian's back, after this dramatic scene, Takasugi Jinsaku had mixed feelings in his heart, but happiness and excitement still accounted for the majority, because, no matter what, he finally picked up a life, and this was a great luck in misfortune.
Takasugi Jinsaku looked at the battlefield in the distance again, and he saw that Saigo Takamori was leading a large army to attack the Taiping army wildly, and the Taiping army's defense line was like a boat in the sea under the impact of the Japanese army, and it could be destroyed at any time.
And as his mood relaxed, a feeling of tiredness suddenly hit his heart, he was tired, really tired, he couldn't help shaking his head, and then sighed, and returned to his own position in despair.
After this battle, Takasugi Shinsaku was hit hard by this, and I am afraid that it is impossible to completely recover, and it is difficult to say whether he will be able to lead the army to fight in the future.
Speaking of Saigo Takamori, after he led his army to the center of the battlefield, he did not stop for a moment, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Taiping army, relying on the superiority of numbers and body, he led his troops to break through the defense line of the Taiping army in one fell swoop, and after joining up with the remnants of Obokuritsu, he actively moved closer to the headquarters of Takasugi Shinsaku and Kido Takayoshi, and the order he received from Ito Hirobumi was very simple, that is, there was no need to fight with the Taiping army, and after relieving the siege for several Japanese troops, he quickly retreated in the direction of Kaesong.
The course of the war proved that Saigo Takamori carried out Ito Hirobumi's orders well.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the defense line of the Taiping army was constantly penetrated, and even after the return of Lu Qingtian, the Taiping army could not block the impact of Saigo Takamori's department, and he could only accept the fact that the Taiping army was completely suppressed by the Japanese army.
Resistance to the end, proving that a single qiē is in vain, Lu Qingtian can only give up, moreover, his abandonment is even more complete, in order to reduce the casualties of the army, he asked the Taiping army to give way and let the Japanese retreat.
And after Saigo Takamori gathered all the Japanese troops, he stopped fighting and retreated directly in the direction of Kaesong.
Seeing that the Japanese army was retreating, Li Kaifang, who led his troops to join Lu Qingtian, was a little dissatisfied.
"General, why did you let the Japanese army go?" Li Kaifang asked very unhappily.
may be because he was in too much of a hurry, so he forgot his identity with Lu Qingtian for a while.
However, Lu Qingtian didn't bother with Li Kaifang, he understood Li Kaifang's mood very well, if he could keep the Japanese army, how could he let it go, he sighed, looked at the direction of the Japanese retreat steadily, and said leisurely: "If you don't let go, do we have the ability to stay?"
"This..."Li Kaifang was speechless.
Yes, with the situation of the Taiping army at this time, they can no longer afford to leave the Japanese army.
However, to be honest, the Sixth Army Corps led by Lu Qingtian and Li Kaifang was already quite good in this battle, they almost dragged the six divisions of the Japanese army with the strength of one corps, and finally forced the Japanese army to flee in panic.
This result is good enough, and it is enough to make the Sixth Army and all the Taiping Army proud.
Lu Qingtian jumped off the horse, patted Li Kaifang, who was also standing in front of the horse, on the shoulder, and said: "Kaifang, don't think about it, if you want to kill all the Japanese army, there is a chance, why bother to stick to this moment, in short, as long as our strategic goal is achieved, we will not come in vain this trip."
Lu Qingtian and the Sixth Army led by him not only achieved the strategic goal, but also definitely exceeded the task.
"It's just a pity." Li Kaifang is still a little unsatisfied.
"Haha, okay, Kaifang, don't think about it, it's time for us to go back and resume our lives, presumably soon, we will start attacking the city." Lu Qingtian laughed and said.
"Siege?" Li Kaifang looked at Lu Qingtian with a puzzled face.
Looking at Li Kaifang's appearance, Lu Qingtian couldn't help but laugh again, and said, "You won't even forget the ultimate goal of our battle."
"You mean..."Li Kaifang said in surprise.
Lu Qingtian nodded and said, "Yes, take Kaesong, successfully end the battle of Kaesong, if we are lucky, we may even inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army."
"General, does this mean that we have another battle to fight?" Li Kaifang said expectantly.
Lu Qingtian's face was pale, and he pretended to touch his chin mysteriously and muttered for a moment, and then, the smile on his face bloomed like a flower, and he only heard him say, "It seems to be."
"This..., ha... Ha ......" Li Kaifang was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and finally understood what was going on, and then he let out a hearty laugh.
For Li Kaifang, who is war-hungry, nothing makes him happier than this news.
After Li Kaifang finished laughing, Lu Qingtian said again: "Kaifang, I will leave the matter of cleaning up the battlefield and gathering the army to you, I will go back to the headquarters first to report to the marshal, and listen to Hou's next instructions."
"Yes, General." Li Kaifang promised.
Lu Qingtian explained a few more words to Li Kaifang, and was about to leave, but suddenly saw a lot of smoke and dust in front of him, and felt that the earth trembled, and it seemed that there was a rumbling thunder coming from a distance.
Lu Qingtian was shocked and was about to order the army to stand by, but Li Kaifang was sharp-eyed, and he only heard him shout: "Eighth Legion!"
It turned out that this earth-shattering movement was caused by Chen Yucheng's Eighth Legion, and it was the Eighth Legion that arrived.
Lu Qingtian was also relieved when he heard that it was the Eighth Legion.
The Eighth Legion came quickly, and it was only in the blink of an eye that it was in front of Lu Qingtian and Li Kaifang.
After the army was stationed, Chen Yucheng, the commander of the Eighth Army, and Luo Xuan, the deputy commander of the Eighth Army, appeared in front of Lu Qingtian and Li Kaifang.
When a few people met, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of noise.
I only heard Lu Qingtian say in a joking tone: "Old Chen, you are a step late."
Listening to Lu Qingtian's words, it seemed to be saying that this banquet is over, and the dishes are almost finished, and the Eighth Army is only here now, which is a bit late.
"yes? It's a shame." Chen Yucheng is full of regret.
He looked at the chaotic battlefield, and really believed what Lu Qingtian said, and he really believed that the Sixth Army led by Lu Qingtian had completely annihilated the Japanese army.
Looking at Chen Yucheng's extremely serious appearance, Lu Qingtian laughed, but his smile made Chen Yucheng feel a little inexplicable.
"Do you really believe it?" Lu Qingtian stepped forward and patted Chen Yucheng's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Okay, you old Lu, are you fooling me?" Looking at the expression on Lu Qingtian's face, Chen Yucheng suddenly realized, he pretended to be angry and punched Lu Qingtian, and said.
"Haha, Lao Chen, don't blame, don't blame, it's just a joke with you, but, frankly speaking, this battle, our Sixth Army fought really hard, if it weren't for the lack of luck in the Japanese army, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to you." Lu Qingtian sighed, full of emotion.
When Chen Yucheng heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
So, Lu Qingtian described the entire war to Chen Yucheng in detail, and Chen Yucheng was shocked when he heard it.
When the speech was finished, the scene fell into a dead silence.
The experience of the war described by Lu Qingtian really touched Chen Yucheng too much, although he had also experienced hundreds of battles, but such a fierce and exciting battle like this time, he had never encountered it, even he had rarely heard of it, he felt deeply sorry for himself for missing this battle, he felt that he was really late.
Chen Yucheng is really envious of Lu Qingtian, what a beautiful thing he has done.
Several people talked about the battle for a long time, and Lu Qingtian remembered to ask Chen Yucheng why he came here.
Seeing Lu Qingtian asking, Chen Yucheng said the purpose of his coming here (to be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
