Liaoyang City, at this time, was already thick smoke, the fire was all over the sky, Liu Jun's shelling just now, not only blew up the souls of the Japanese soldiers who were cooking together, but also ignited many buildings.

The problem was that the Japanese soldiers who had suffered a sudden bombardment panicked, and the horse meat in the pot began to dodge the shells, and the goods that had not been extinguished were hit by the shells, flew into the sky, and then fell on many thatched huts, causing fires, and the wind borrowed the fire, and soon ignited the defense houses. This added fuel to the fire of the Japanese army, who was already in the city, which was already unbearable, and their lips were chapped. Looking at everyone in a daze.

There was a bang, and in the headquarters of the Second Army, there was a very crisp sound of a porcelain bowl breaking. The guards outside the door squinted their eyes slightly, looked inside with their peripheral vision, and saw the angry expression of their governor Shan Shan Youpeng and the exquisite tea set on the ground, which was the commander's favorite, but he didn't expect that he had been broken into several halves now, swallowing saliva, the guards didn't dare to look at it, but stood up straight.

Huhuhu, there are friends in Shanxian sitting in his position panting, he didn't expect the Qing army to hate it so much. Not even giving yourself time to eat is a typical example of putting yourself and 20,000 soldiers to death.

Just now he had already received a report from Genji Yamachi, and the Qing army suddenly launched an artillery bombardment while the Japanese were cooking. The soldiers who were surrounding were subjected to a surprise attack, with more than 300 casualties. Moreover, most of the freshly slaughtered horse meat was hit by artillery fire, and there was no way to eat it.

"Give me offense, give me offense." The angry Shan Shan Youpeng clenched his arms and screamed lung-splitting.

In the dark night of Liaoyang, the stars are dim today, and there are several candles in the camp at once more than usual. The light of the candles illuminates the whole camp as if it were day. Sparkling. ”

In the camp, Liu Jun was sitting on the chair of the tiger skin master, constantly turning a brush in his hand, closing his eyes and falling on the chair in a daze. And around, Song Qing, Yi Ketang, Zhong Lin, Zhang Debiao, etc., were constantly muttering around the map in the middle of the camp, and kept pointing at the map. Why did the Japanese attack today not open fire first, but directly charged with infantry.

This afternoon, an hour after Liu Jun ordered the bombardment of the Japanese army, the Japanese army suddenly dispatched the strength of two wings, swarming out of the city and attacking the position of the Qing army's Shengjun, and the battle ended until it was close to dusk, and the Japanese army retreated to Liaoyang after leaving hundreds of corpses.

After the battle, Liu Jun urgently convened the main generals of the Qing army to discuss a question, why the Japanese attack was not covered by artillery fire.

You know, in normal times, when the Japanese army attacks, the artillery fire opens the way first, and then the infantry charges, but today?

"Marshal, I think the Japanese army has no shells." Zhang Debiao took a step forward and said.

"That's what I think, too." Zhong Lin next to him conforms.

There were no shells, and hearing the answers of the two, Liu Jun stopped turning the brush and stood up.

It's not impossible, even if you have a friend in Shan County whose head is caught by the door, he won't joke about his soldier's life like a fool. However, this does not mean that the Japanese army did not have shells, it seems that they had to try.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun walked to the map, looked at it, and ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, three battalions of the Heilongjiang Army, two battalions of the Sheng Army, and one regiment of the Lushun Army, after the artillery attack, immediately attack Liaoyang and fight the intentions of the Japanese army." ”

"Order." Everyone said solemnly.

"Kill." As soon as the sun was rising, the sound of killing outside Liaoyang City was already shaking the sky, and thousands of Qing troops jumped out of the trenches, lifted the ladder, and began to rush towards Liaoyang City after the artillery bombardment.

In the bunker, Liu Jun looked at the attacking Qing army, and turned his gaze to Liaoyang, indeed, except for the gunfire on the city wall, the Japanese army did not open fire, even if the Qing army had rushed to the best range of artillery fire.

With a slight smile, Liu Jun put down the binoculars, returned to the chair, looked at Zhong Lin next to him and asked, "What did you hear?" ”

"Head, gunshots." Zhong Lin listened honestly for a while and said.

"Tell me, what does this prove?" Liu Jun lifted his legs up and put them on the table and shook them twice.

"I don't know."

"What do you know besides eating? As soon as he heard this answer, Liu Jun suddenly became angry. glared, and said slowly in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "This proves that the Japanese army has no shells." ”

Indeed, the gunfire in Liaoyang City was fierce, but there was no sound of artillery firing at all.

"Go, give the order, all troops stop the attack and immediately return to their positions. Lao Tzu guarded the outside of the city, and starved him for three or four days. ”

Hehe, Zhong Lin smiled wickedly, and then ran out of the door. ”

Liaoyang City, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Yama County Youpeng looked at the lunch sent by Yuanzhi in the mountains just now, and shook his head helplessly, he couldn't drink it, he couldn't drink it.

It was a bowl of porridge, and a few yellowed vegetable leaves floated on the clear water that shone out of the shadows. This is the best thing that Genji Yamachi can come up with.

In the whole of Liaoyang, there is no grain at all.

Five days, it has been five days, the Qing army that was attacking five days ago suddenly retreated and then until now, it has not launched an attack, and it has launched an attack every day, but there is no artillery cover, every time, it will be beaten back by the Qing army that is sticking to the position.

"Your Excellency, General, you better have a drink." Seeing Yama Prefecture Youpeng, who was sitting on the chair with yellow muscles and thin muscles, Yamachi Motoji looked at the clear soup on the table and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he hadn't eaten anything for a day.

With a long sigh, Youpeng stood up, picked up the clear soup that night, frowned, and took a sip, he couldn't swallow it, but for the sake of his own life, he still forced down the nausea and cooed.

Putting down the porcelain bowl in his hand, he looked at the mountain Motoji who was already sallow in front of him. He knew it was caused by not eating for a few days.

Closing his eyes, after a while, he said slowly: "Let's go, let's go see the imperial soldiers." ”

On the streets of Liaoyang City, there are all horizontal and vertical, lying or lying down, all listless, without a little spirit.

The Japanese army has a strict hierarchy, and when the subordinates see their superiors, they must stand up and salute and bow their heads, but now, none of these Japanese soldiers who have been hungry and their eyes are shining brightly, have not gotten up from the ground and saluted the friends of Shan County on the street.

Shan County Youpeng did not blame these people, but walked to a remote place and sighed.

He didn't expect that he would fall back to such a point, the 20,000 elites who were majestic at the beginning, and now they are being tortured like this. Spiritless.

Quietly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Shan Shan Youpeng turned his head and asked if the mountain land next to him could find something to eat, even if it was vegetable leaves. However, the answer he got made Youpeng in Shan County very disappointed, not to mention the vegetable leaves, even the bark in front of the yards of people in the city, had been boiled

Eat.

Helpless, painful and desperate looks, suddenly appeared on the face of Shan County Youpeng, without the slightest reproach, he turned his head and returned to the headquarters, he thought about it, how to save these zombies, he couldn't let them starve to death here.

I can't sleep by a lonely lamp. When he returned to the headquarters, he was lying in bed, and he had complete insomnia.

He couldn't think of a way, and the only way, which he never thought about and wouldn't think about, was to surrender.

Surrender, if he wants the armies of other countries to surrender, he will go back and think about it, but the Qing army, he really can't lose this face.

Standing up distraught, Yama County Youpeng was ready to call the mountain Motoji to discuss countermeasures. But before he could call anyone, he saw the mountain Genji walking in in a panic.

"Your Excellency General, the Qing Army Liu Jun's ultimatum." As soon as Genji Yamagi walked in, he handed a letter to Motoji Yamagi.

Liu Jun and Youpeng in Shan County stood up suddenly. He was familiar with Liu Junjiao.

Although this person has not been seen, he is already familiar and can no longer be familiar.

forced his friend Dashanyan to death, and threw away the armor of the Second Army, one lost Dalian, lost Dandong, and lost Pyongyang three times. He even knew from the current military seat of the Second Army, Nogi Nishinori, that Liu Jun was a sinister and cunning villain, and he would not play cards according to common sense in a war.

No wonder, no wonder I was trapped here and died, no wonder, my own grain and grass would be blown up, no wonder, I would be hit by the Qing army when I killed horses and cooked, it turned out that all the reasons were this scourge, the number one scourge of Japan.

Taking a deep breath, Shan Shan Youpeng tried his best to calm down his mood and opened the letter.

There was a sound of bumping, and the teacup on the table was actually slapped hard by Youpeng in Shanxian County, and fell to the ground and fell into several large pieces.

With wide-eyed eyes and a distorted expression, Yama Youpeng crumpled the letter violently, then threw it aside like garbage, and roared loudly: "This must not be." ”
