The 11th Brigade was surrounded by one regiment of Liu Jun's 2nd Brigade and 1st Brigade on the outskirts of the Great Wall. It was impossible to advance or retreat, but the 12th Mixed Brigade had a smooth journey, except for sporadic harassment by some local armed forces, and did not encounter resistance from the Qing army. Hasegawa, who was riding on a horse, smiled and looked at the twelve mixed brigades that were walking by his side.

I asked the staff officers around me, and there were still four hours to reach Tuchengzi. He didn't want the 11th Brigade to make a big move, but asked the troops to step up their march and attack as soon as they arrived at Tuchengzi, not waiting for Oji Yasujun.

In order to cheer up the Japanese army, he ordered: "Take Lushun and have a three-day holiday." These words were tempting, and the Japanese soldiers, who were already a little tired, began to speed up their pace when they heard this order.

The mighty 12th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army was advancing towards Lushun with a bad face.

Outside Changcheng, the Qing army and the Japanese army had formed a rivalry.

Not only did the Japanese army form a defensive position, but under the command of Oji Yasumun, a part of the Japanese army actually broke through the Qing position. Captured several unimportant heights.

The most fatal thing was the Japanese cavalry, Zhong Lin did not block the charging cavalry, although most of the cavalry was wiped out on the advancing land, but there were still more than 200 cavalry rushing up. Fight with the second regiment.

Fortunately, there were not many daily breakthroughs, and soon this Japanese army was wiped out by the 2nd Regiment.

The artillery positions of the Japanese army have been destroyed, and the current Qing army is turning the muzzle of the gun and aiming at the Japanese army below to start bombardment.

Liu Jun looked up and saw that it had been three hours of fighting, and the Japanese army still showed no signs of defeat.

"Order, concentrate all artillery, attack the enemy's defensive joint for five minutes, and then extend the artillery fire." Liu Jun looked at the Japanese army and coldly gave the order.

He didn't have time to spend with the Japanese army.

The artillery received an order and began to launch a fierce artillery attack on the Japanese troops.

Five minutes of artillery fire was enough to tear a huge hole in the Japanese army's front-line position.

Seeing the extension of the artillery fire, Liu Jun pulled out his waist knife, stood up at once, and shouted to the Qing army who was still in the trench: "Brothers, rush with me, go down and chop him to be paralyzed." Kill"

"Kill" The Qing army shouted that the sound of killing shook the sky, jumped out of the trench, followed Liu Jun, and rushed towards the Japanese army.

The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Liu Jun was the first to bump into a Japanese soldier who was a head shorter than himself. The Japanese soldier shouted, picked up the gun with the bayonet and rushed over, Liu Jun dodged, let the Japanese soldier, and at the same time the knife slashed back, cutting off half of the Japanese army's arms.

On the battlefield of more than three miles, both the Qing army and the Japanese army gave up their advanced weapons and began to fight with the most primitive fighting methods. On marksmanship, the Qing army is not an opponent of the Japanese army, but when it comes to group fighting, everyone is half a pound and eight taels, and no one will lose to anyone. So the whole battlefield is also evenly matched. It's about the same, but the situation starts to change after half an hour.

There were many Qing soldiers, and in addition to the fact that the Qing army was not as dull as the Japanese, some Qing troops who could not rely on the Japanese army would shoot when they raised their guns. Or two Qing armies teamed up to fight one. Even the strong Japanese army could not stand such a blow.

Under the siege of the Qing army, the Japanese army gradually abandoned the first line of defense and prepared for the second line of defense.

However, the Qing army did not give the Japanese army time at all, and rushed after the ass of the Japanese army.

Looking at the retreating Japanese army, Oji Yasumun, who was observing the battle situation, had no choice but to give the order to retreat to Changcheng Town. He also wrote a letter asking for help and handed it to the adjutant and asked him to ride a fast horse to Hasegawa of the 12th Mixed Brigade to ask for reinforcements.

Oji Yasumun asked people to count the number of people, and the report they got was very unsatisfactory, and in less than four hours, he lost more than 1,000 people and 800 casualties.

After receiving a distress letter from Oji Yasumun, although Hasegawa did not believe that a brigade was actually surrounded by the Qing army on the Great Wall, but seeing that this was actually a personal letter and adjutant of Oji Yasumun, he only asked about the situation slightly, and urgently drew out a wing of more than 2,000 troops and rushed to Changcheng Town. The rest of the troops continued to advance towards Tuchengzi.

In the early days, Hasegawa's good support wing was relatively smooth, but the Japanese did not notice that in the deep forest next to them, a group of Qing troops was observing their every move.

This is exactly the cavalry regiment of Luo Dacheng and the first regiment of Wu Hao that Liu Jun asked to drag the Japanese support. The two regiments followed the Japanese shortly after their departure and took a shortcut to ambush here.

Seeing the Japanese army marching not far from him, Luo Dacheng, who was lying on the ground, said to Wu Hao next to him: "Is this method useful?" I think it's unreliable. ”

Wu Hao glared at Luo Dacheng, who was full of cheeks and beards: "I said what's the matter with you, the master's method is not right, is it yours." ”

"Ann just talked." Seeing that Wu Hao's tone was not good, Luo Dacheng hurriedly changed his words.

"Alright, get your cavalry ready to attack. I'm also hands-on. ”

"Directions, you're all set." Luo Dacheng replied.

The wing captain was on his horse, and he kept asking Yasumi Ohji's adjutant about the situation.

There are more than 5,000 Qing troops, where did so many Qing troops come from in Lushun, and I heard that there were about 5,000 people besieging the 11th Brigade. My mind was full of questions. Like the brigade commander Hasegawa, he thought it was just the incompetence of the 11th Brigade.

He glanced at the adjutant with contempt. The wing commander ordered the troops to speed up the march.

There was a bang, and the rear team rang out with gunfire.

The wing captain hurriedly jumped off his horse and raised his binoculars to see that there was actually a fire exchange with the Qing army behind him, and judging by the number of people, there were at least several hundred.

Pulling out the command knife, the wing captain ordered an attack, in his opinion, this group of Qing troops are cowards, as long as their own army attacks, the Qing army will definitely flee.

Things were just as he thought, as soon as the Japanese brigade launched an attack on the opposite Qing army, it began to retreat.

The wing commander was determined to eat this Qing army, and he ordered his troops to pursue, but the Qing cavalry that suddenly rushed out of the deep forest intercepted the Japanese army, and the Qing army, which had just begun to retreat, also turned around and began to shoot.

The cavalry of the Qing army seemed to have no intention of fighting, but they just slashed and killed for a while and then retreated with a roar, and the infantry of the Qing army just disappeared without a trace.

The wing commander sneered, and after scolding the coward, he no longer bothered, but gathered his troops and continued to advance.

However, this group of Qing troops was like armyworms, sticking to this Japanese army. After walking less than ten miles, he was attacked six times by the Qing army, and each time he hit and ran, so that the wing commander who wanted to pursue had no way to start, and the Japanese soldiers who were tortured were panicked, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

Looking at the Japanese troops marching ahead

Luo Dacheng rode on a horse and said to Wu Hao next to him: "Shizao is really a god. ”

Wu Hao smiled and said with a smile: "That's that, even Zhuge Regeneration is nothing more than that." ”

Luo Dacheng had a beard all over his face, put his braids around his neck, opened his big mouth and said: "You said that my old Luo couldn't think of this method, not only did the casualties be small, but also the Japanese army could be tormented." ”

Wu Hao pale Luo Dacheng and said: "If you want to come out, you are the master." Still looking for it here. ”

"That's what you get. Don't say it, when I first came, I really looked down on Shizuo, why did a little doll command our Dengzhou Army, but now, hehe, my old Luo is service, and I will do it with Shizuo in the future. ”

Wu Hao looked at the advancing Japanese army, and then turned his head to look at Luo Dacheng, who was still talking to himself: "Okay, you have to show loyalty, you go back and tell the division." Seeing that Luo Dacheng was about to speak again, Wu Hao hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't, you stop, you're saying that the Japanese army is going to pass." ”

Luo Dacheng looked at it, and sure enough, it was like this: "His grandmother's, he ran fast" turned his head, waved his arm, and whispered to the cavalry behind him: "Brothers, I've copied the guys." ”

Seeing Wu Dacheng leading the cavalry to the front, Wu Haomashan ordered: "First battalion commander." ”

"Here."

"Lead a battalion, wait for the Japanese army to pass, and then hit the Japanese rearguard with me, not too long, as long as the Japanese counterattack and retreat immediately, we have time."

Outside the Long Town. Zhong Lin was crawling on the ground, watching the attacking Qing army retreat again. I sighed anxiously.

Liu Jun put on a cloak, came to Zhong Lin's side, and asked, "How is it?" ”

As soon as he saw that it was Liu Jun, Zhong Lin immediately stood up and said, "Head, I have attacked it four times, and the Japanese firepower is too fierce, and they have all been beaten back." ”

Hearing the news, Liu Jun frowned and used his binoculars to move towards the Great Town.

Sure enough, the Japanese army used houses as bunkers and sealed the road to the town, and the entrance to the town was covered with the corpses of the Qing army.

After putting down the binoculars and looking down for a while, Liu Jun ordered: "Go, turn on the conscienceless cannon." ”

Zhong Lin nodded in response, led the people, and walked to the back, and after a while, five conscienceless cannons were carried over. Put it on the ground.

"Line up, bang with me. Lao Tzu wants him to show him what the power of the cannon ancestor is today. Liu Jun ordered lightly.

After receiving the order, the Qing army immediately began to dig a pit, and after setting up the unconscionable cannon, they began to bombard the town

The town shook in an instant, and many houses could not withstand the blow. began to collapse.
