On the left bank of the Yalu River, in North Korea, in the west of Koushui Town. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three infantry battalions of the Korean reinforcement army set up an ambush circle.

The place where Li Bohu and his men hid was the junction of the fields of the two farmers, with a narrow ridge and a long line of low wild hawthorn bushes.

Li Bohu and Yang Guang stuck their heads into the hawthorn bushes, and their eyes stared at the embankment post road nearly 300 meters ahead.

"Click, click, click—"

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the west, and all the soldiers who came to aid Korea were in a heartbeat.

Here it comes!

Soon, the six Japanese cavalry troops came from the lower reaches of the river on horseback.

"It's an outpost of the Japanese army, let them go."

Li Bohu said in a low voice: "The big fish is behind." ”

Immediately, the six cavalry Japanese troops left the ambush circle of the second company and rushed towards the town of Koushui.

And Li Bohu and the others looked at it and actually saw that the entrance of Koushui Town was full of North Korean residents in the town.

Liu Gangzi anxiously whispered: "Staff officer, we are lurking here, many North Koreans have seen it, they won't betray us, right?" ”

"They dare!"

Li Bohu's eyes widened: "Dare to betray our reinforcement of the Korean army, so that Lao Tzu can't kill the Japanese army, I will slaughter them." ”

Everyone on the side trembled when they heard this, knowing that this master's words were not nonsense.

Speaking of Tu Guang, he will definitely kill them all one by one.

"Captain, these Korean natives have a strange vision?"

Seeing the Japanese army rushing towards the town, the Korean people surrounding the entrance of the town all scattered and fled far away.

However, he didn't run far, stopped, stood not far away, and continued to look at the six Japanese cavalry.

And they also secretly pointed at each other, whispering in the Korean vernacular that they couldn't understand.

The first-class soldier Ye Changde was very unhappy to be looked at by these North Korean civilians like monkeys, and felt that the eyes of these ignorant natives looking at him were very weird.

- There is a hint of schadenfreude in the fear, as if looking at the dead.

"Captain, is there an ambush of the Qing army in the town?"

Ye Vice Changde looked at the empty town on the street inside, and then looked back at the Anping estuary on the other side of the river, and found that there was a large red and bright Qing army standing on the opposite side of the river.

"Yaga, you pig, coward!"

Detachment Commander Okumura Baner was so angry that he scolded: "There are so many Qing troops standing on the other side of the river, if they have a little courage, they still need to ambush us?" These ignorant natives, where do they see the demeanor of our great Oriental knights, they must be afraid and admired; Enter town! ”

The town of Koushui is just a small town the size of a palm, with three small inns, a drugstore, two taverns, a kiln, a braised meat shop, and seven or eight small grocery stores that specialize in the business of horse merchants.

After a burst of chickens and dogs, soon Okumura Hanji took the soldiers to inspect all the houses, and when they came out, each soldier carried a few old hens in his hands.

"Yo Xi, let's open meat at noon today and eat the old hen; Pick up one of the fattest ones and keep them for the squad leader; Let's go! ”

Okumura Banji smiled, from Seoul to Pyongyang, and then from Pyongyang to Uiju, for the past two months, he drank gruel every day, that is, he ate a few full meals in Pyongyang.

I entered Yizhou City last night, and I thought I would be able to eat for a few days, but it turned out that the city was full of poor people, not to mention meat and meat, and even food was not found in a dozen cloth bags.

"These days the bastards who have been plagued, my old hen that lays eggs!"

When the six Japanese soldiers rushed out of the town, each group of old hens with clucking crows on their horses, the North Korean residents of Saliva Town all cursed.

"I thought that this place was so remote, and the Japanese soldiers would not come; Every family clears their belongings, so let's go to the homes of relatives in the countryside to avoid the war. ”

The old patriarch of Koushui Town sighed and said, "The old hen is still a trivial matter, and the food of every household is dependent on survival." ”

"Why don't those heavenly soldiers shoot yet?"

The owner of a small shop was also taken away by two old hens, and his heart was distressed.

One of them, but an old hen with an egg a day!

"They have so many heavenly soldiers crossing the river, it won't be just for these Japanese soldiers, wait, there must be Japanese soldiers coming behind."

The old patriarch usually likes to watch the Three Kingdoms, and for the various dazzling schemes in it, it is like watching the text in the palm of his hand: "The old man is almost seventy, and before he dies, he will not live in vain if he sees a real 'desire to capture and indulge' in the thirty-six schemes." ”

"Captain, there is no trace of the Qing army in the town; However, on the other side of the town of Koushui, there were many Qing troops standing. ”

Okumura Hanji ran to the detachment leader, Second Lieutenant Tian Tetsujiro, and reported loudly.

"There are so many old hens in this town?"

Tian Tiejiro looked at the twenty or so old hens hanging on these six war horses, and swallowed greedily.

As for the Qing troops on the other side of the river, Tian Tiejilang didn't care at all.

What he was worried about was the Korean reinforcement army that was very offensive and vile and took the initiative to attack the imperial army every time.

As for the rest of the Qing army, in the eyes of Tian Tiejilang, they are basically a group of soft eggs, how dare they have the courage to take the initiative to provoke the imperial army?

The rest of the Japanese soldiers were also staring at the old hen who had been stunned and hung weakly on their horses with red eyes.

"Captain, there are still a few fat pigs in the town, and a herd of goats, and donkeys and big dogs, and cows!"

Okumura Hanji excitedly shouted: "There are also taverns, braised meat shops, and grocery stores; It's delicious everywhere! ”

"These are imperial things! and grain, and silver, all of which were the property of the empire; ”

Tian Tiejiro's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Set out immediately, like the city of Yiju, and expel all the Korean natives, and let them take nothing but a cloth to them; If you disobey, you will be killed! ”

"Attack, attack!"

Hearing the order of the detachment leader, all the Japanese cavalry shouted one after another, and rushed towards the town of Koushui.

For a time, the horse's hooves smashed the tranquility of the left bank of the Yalu River, stirring up a cloud of dust on the loess post road.

Spectacular.

"Ready, pass on, all aim for me and wait for orders!"

Li Bohu tightly held the Mauser in his hand and fired a quick gun, his face full of ferocity.

Soon, this group of more than 30 Japanese soldiers rushed into the left flank of the ambush circle of the second company and quickly moved towards the center.

"Heavenly soldiers, hit them, hit them!"

"Kill all these beasts, these chicken thieves!"

At the entrance of the town, two miles away, the North Korean spectators gathered there danced and shouted.

"Haha, are these pigs welcoming the Imperial Army?"

Tian Tetsujiro yelled with a little joy: "What a stupid idiot! ”

“？”

Riding a mule, the interpreter butler who followed at the back was a question mark at this time, thinking that the peasants in this saliva town are stupid?

"Call me!"

"Bang!"

Li Bohu waited until the Japanese cavalry rushed to the middle of the ambush line, roared, and then opened fire.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Suddenly, all the reinforcements fired a salvo at the same time, and a large amount of green smoke came out of the muzzles.

"Yu—"

The effect of this salvo was quite good, although it was a high-speed moving target from a distance of 200 meters, and after a salvo, five Japanese soldiers and one war horse were shot and fell.
