"Will the Qing army break through?"

Sato Masadazo waved his hands in surprise and shouted in the torrential rain: "Baga, block the city gate, and not a single pig will let them escape!" ”

"Bastard!"

Immediately saw that Naowen looked at Sato and scolded loudly: "You are as stupid as your division commander Katsura Taro!" In the Wuchen War back then, the commander of your division and his master, Shan County, were on Taoshan, if it weren't for the master, I looked at the pity and let them escape, and they would have gone to see the god of Rizhao a long time ago; You're still qualified to talk nonsense here? ”

The surrounding military assistants all kept silent, and all looked at the Pyongyang rivers and mountains in the heavy rain with intoxication, and they didn't seem to hear what the major general said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This torrential rain has left the Empire's four-way army miserable in the rain; If it weren't for this damn heavy rain, I would have attacked the Seven Stars Gate and Changgyeong Gate with two squadrons at 10:10 a.m., and all the rest of the troops would have filled the Xuanwu Gate and conquered Pyongyang City along the left and right city walls and the avenues inside Pyongyang. ”

Immediately saw that Shangwen smiled and continued to explain to Lieutenant Colonel Pulei:

"But this rainstorm destroyed everything; At this time, if you don't let go of Yiju Avenue and stick to Xuanwu Gate, tonight the Qing army will most likely counterattack Xuanwu Gate at all costs and expel the imperial army; The coalition forces on the northern front have not had a single shell, most of the bullets have been lost, and the military rations have bottomed out; Generals Oshima and Tsuno not only did not break through on the eastern and southern fronts, but they also lost most of their ammunition today. ”

Immediately saw Shangwen said quietly: "And the Qing army in Pyongyang has sufficient ammunition and military rations, and it is defended by relying on the city, and there are a large number of reinforcements in Suzhou in the north and Uiju; Once the war continues, regardless of who will die, even if the imperial army reluctantly captures Pyongyang, it will suffer extremely heavy casualties. ”

"We are not afraid of death, long live the Emperor!"

Sato yelled unconvinced.

"But what if you lose?"

Immediately saw Shang Wen looking at Sato Masashi viciously: "Once defeated, it may be a catastrophe for the empire!" And even if it is a miserable victory, what troops will the empire use to fight for Suzhou, Anzhou, Yizhou, Yalu River, Lushun, Mukden, and the Empire behind! ”

"The general is clever! Compared with the great Qing Dynasty, your country's stamina reserves are too weak; Even if the Qing army is completely destroyed, it will not hurt the bones and bones, but once the army of your country in Pyongyang is severely damaged, it will be an incalculable disaster. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Pu Lei nodded in admiration and said to Shang Wen, "And I believe that the general will not let the Qing army in Pyongyang flee from Pyongyang so easily." ”

Immediately saw Shangwen nodded approvingly, thinking that Lieutenant Colonel Pu Lei was worthy of being an officer of the world's most powerful country, and his knowledge was much stronger than that of these wastes from the Satsuma Domain and the Changzhou Domain in his own country.

"Sato, you immediately lead two brigades of troops to ambush on the slopes of Yiju Avenue on both sides of the east of Kanbei Courtyard, if the Qing army breaks and flees, attack them!"

"Hey!"

Sato Masashi understood Lishumi Shangwen's plan at this time, and couldn't help but yell with joy.

"General, Min Bingzao, the superintendent of Ping'an Dao, sent a letter."

Captain Yamanatomo, the leader of the third squadron under Tomita Harubi, ran up to the peony platform in the rain and took out a wet envelope from his clothes.

Seeing that Shangwen was in good spirits, he opened the letter and unfolded it.

"Min Bingzao, the superintendent of Ping'an Province, sent a letter to the Imperial Palace of the Great Eastern Ocean: Now the Chinese soldiers are willing to withdraw from the war and stop the war in accordance with the public laws of all countries. Fu Qi Islam, that is, unveil the white flag, hope not to shoot. Immediately reply to the book. ——”

After only half of it, the raindrops of beans were already blurred, but the meaning was immediately understood by Shangwen.

"Idiot!"

Seeing that Shangwen crumpled the letter in his hand, threw it on the muddy ground, and said loudly: "The Qing army will flee tonight, you go and prepare, shoot them fiercely!" ”

"Long live the Emperor!"

As soon as they understood the meaning of what Lijian Shangwen said, the Japanese soldiers on the peony platform were all snoring in unison, and everyone had an excited look on their faces.

South of Pyongyang, Japanese positions.

Michikan Tsuno sat in the newly built tent with a heart full of concern, and the depression in his heart almost drove him crazy.

Originally, everything was a situation in Dashun, but it was all disturbed by this sudden rainstorm!

This heavy rain forced the offensive in Beicheng to stop completely, and the artillery in Nancheng had already fired most of the shells, and the bullets in their hands had also consumed more than half, and more seriously, the military rations had also bottomed out.

After a day's battle, all the soldiers tonight, including him Tsuno Daoguan, could only drink gruel to satisfy their hunger.

If it rains overnight, the imperial soldiers are drenched in heavy rain all night, and the Qing army recaptures Xuanwumen with heavy troops, tomorrow's battle will be even more difficult to fight.

And if the war drags on for a few more days, how can hungry soldiers have the strength to fight?

And if once the shells and bullets are exhausted, then—

Just thinking about it, Michikan Tsuno shuddered!

"General, the Qing army has erected a white flag!"

Michikan Tsuno was trembling when a military officer rushed in and shouted excitedly.

"What?"

Michikani Tsuno stood up in shock, strode out of the tent, and stood in the torrential rain looking at the southern city of Pyongyang.

I saw that the city was full of white flags, and there were many Qing soldiers holding white flags in the heavy rain and shaking back and forth, as if they were afraid that the Japanese army would not see them.

"The Qing army wants to run!"

Michikan Tsuno almost jumped up with joy, and all his worries just now disappeared without a trace.

"Fukushima An, immediately order all the troops to get out of the Yongshan Avenue, remove the barricades, and let them escape!"

In Fukushima An's puzzled eyes, Tsuno Michikan added ruthlessly: "Transfer two brigades to ambush on the high ground on both sides of the avenue and beat me hard!" ”

Pyongyang City, Admiralty's Palace.

Ye Zhichao's generals all sat on their chairs with a disillusioned face, anxiously waiting for the reply from the Japanese army in the north.

The Governor of the Feng Army, Zuo Guigui, the deputy general Yang Jianchun, the guerrilla Yang Jiansheng, the capital secretary Xu Yusheng, as well as many battalion officers, the death of the sentry commander, the loss of the Peony Terrace and the Xuanwu Gate completely shocked the generals.

"I don't want to withdraw either!"

Ye Zhichao looked at the generals in the hall with their own thoughts, and said with a long sigh: "The throat of the north gate is lost, the ammunition is not complete, the transfer is not passable, the army is frightened, and the enemy soldiers will attack tomorrow, how can they resist it?" If we don't abandon Pyongyang temporarily, make him proud, raise my ambition, and try to make a big move, I will succeed in one go. ”

As soon as they heard Ye Zhichao say this, all the generals knew that Ye Zhichao was a guy, and he used the rhetoric of Asan to fool people.

"The military gate, it's just that the north of the city is temporarily lost, tonight's heavy rain we can completely concentrate the military forces in the city, and we will definitely be able to recapture the Xuanwu Gate in one fell swoop;"

Ma Yukun, the commander of the Yi Army, still wanted to persuade Ye Zhichao at this time: "Old man, I have led the army for more than 30 years, and after hundreds of battles, I often hate that I can't die. ”

Ye Zhichao glanced at Ma Yukun like an idiot, and said coldly: "Hate for not being able to die, this is just your idea, do you ask the other nearly 10,000 sons in Pyongyang City?" ”

"It's useless to take the north gate, unless you can capture the Peony Terrace in one go;"

Wei Rugui said loudly: "Otherwise, there is a group of cannons on top of everyone's brains, pointing at our weak underbelly every day, or the camp will be defeated in a few days, and this city will still not be able to hold it!" ”

Capture the Peony Terrace?

Hearing Wei Rugui say this, all the generals were silent.

This peony platform seemed easy to lose, and it only took half an hour before and after it fell into the hands of the enemy; I really want to recapture it, looking at the troops and artillery deployed by the Japanese army on the northern front, it is estimated that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

"Military gate, the Japanese army replied."

At this time, Min Bingzao, the supervisor of Ping'an Dao, held a wet letter in his hand and hurriedly strode in.

"Take it and take a look."

Ye Zhichao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and being able to reply to the letter means that there is a way to do things.

All the generals in the hall also looked at the piece of letter paper in Min Bingzao's hand, this thin piece of paper determines the future direction of Pyongyang and everyone's lives.

It's a battle!

Yes and?
