The sound of the cannon was thick, not the explosion and the rubble corpses in the sky, which made Nogi Nishinori frightened, and after thinking for a while, he decided that instead of being killed, it was better to leave his precious life and fight for the modernization of the Great Japanese Empire

After all, it is simply impossible to successfully resist the Qing army's land and sea attack with the strength of one wing. He didn't want his soldiers to die in vain in this place.

In his eyes, even if it is death, he will die like a soldier.

After the very firm order to retreat, the remaining Japanese troops threw down the shells that were being loaded, turned around and fled to Dalian like a flood under the leadership of Nogi Nishinori.

Li He on the bridge saw that the fort that was still resisting stubbornly just now was suddenly silent. I already knew in my heart that the Japanese army had abandoned the port.

Ordering a halt to the shooting, he asked the first mate on the side: "How long will it take for the army escorted by the Fulong to arrive?" ”

The first mate thought for a moment and said, "They set off at noon today, plus it's a fishing boat, and it is estimated that it will be an hour to arrive." ”

Li He nodded, and began to look at the billowing smoke and broken batteries, so he had to let the Pingyuan and Hashidate cruise around, waiting for the two thousand army escorted by the Fulong torpedo boat.

An hour later, the Fulong and nearly 300 fishing boats appeared in the port of Dalian.

When Li He saw the arrival of the army, he immediately began to give the order to launch another bombardment. Half an hour later, the 2,000 Army Corps, under the cover of the Second Battery and the Navy, began to force the landing, but after stepping on all the batteries, no resistance was found.

Nogi made a huge mistake by not letting the soldiers blow up the heavy artillery on the battery when retreating, which gave the Qing troops who landed a big advantage. Under the command of the army commander this time, the soldiers began to rotate all the muzzles that could still rotate, and began to aim the huge heavy artillery muzzles at Dalian. And began to bombard Dalian.

Dalian Headquarters, Sakuma Zuo Matthew is now looking at Nogi Nishinori, who is standing in front of him, with eyes like a dead man. He was annoyed. Nogi Nishinori actually ordered the port to be abandoned. What's even more infuriating is that this guy didn't blow up the shells when he evacuated the battery, so you can imagine how embarrassed and panicked this Nogi Nishinori was when he fled.

Seeing the chief of staff who was coming, Sakuma Sakuma snorted coldly and asked the soldiers to tie up Nogi Nishinori, and he wanted to send this hateful Nogi Nishinori to the Judge Advocate General.

Pulling Nogi Nishinori down, Sakuma Zomata stood up and got very bad news from the chief of staff. The Qing army was digging tunnels, and now it is less than 300 meters away from the city of Dalian.

Sakuma Sakuma was taken aback, hurriedly put on his military uniform, and came to the city gate to take a look.

Referring to seeing the position of the Qing army on the opposite side, a burst of dirt was raised from time to time. The dirt is like a dragon, and it goes on and on.

"Why don't you fire guns to stop them?" Sakuma asked lightly.

"It didn't work, as soon as we fired the artillery, they stopped the operation, and as soon as our artillery stopped, they started digging again."

"Get the Second Wing out of town and stop them?" As soon as he heard that the shelling had no effect, Sakuma Sakuma ordered it too anxiously.

However, before the 2nd Wing left the city and went to where the Qing army was, it was intercepted by the Qing artillery. Heavy losses, helpless. Sakuma had no choice but to order the Second Wing to withdraw to Dalian.

With a loud bang, a cannonball exploded in the city with a whistling sound, and the huge explosion blew up a house and lifted it into the sky.

Sakuma was not surprised, he knew that these were the batteries in the harbor that had not been blown up by Nogi Sainori, and he concluded that the Qing army had turned the muzzles and began to bombard.

"Damn Nogi Nishinori." Hearing this cannon sound, Sakuma Sakuma scolded resentfully.

On the outskirts of Dalian, Liu Jun, who was crawling on the ground, also heard the huge explosion in the city, he already knew that Li He had occupied the port, but for the explosion just now, Liu frowned. There was some dissatisfaction in my heart.

Although this could pose a huge threat to the Japanese army, it also caused unnecessary casualties to the people in the city.

Fighting Dalian by himself is nothing more than to take Dalian back into his own hands, not to slaughter his own people.

Liu Jun saw and heard the explosions one after another, and his heart became more and more uneasy. It's good that this kind of bombardment will continue to be missed, otherwise Liu Jun will have the heart to shoot Li He. Report. The tunnel has been excavated. A herald ran over and said to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun nodded, and began to order the artillery to be pushed into the tunnel, and after the placement was completed, he gave the order for a general attack on Dalian.

The artillery bombardment that shook the ground and the mountains, and the Qing army, which was waiting for the city to break, rushed into Dalian City. The Japanese on the opposite side launched an attack.

With a bang, the ancient city wall could not withstand such heavy artillery fire. After a roar, a huge amount of dust was splashed. The city wall instantly collapsed, revealing a gap that was more than 30 meters long.

Seeing the gap, Liu Jun's sad and sad look just now suddenly brightened, and after laughing a few times, Liu Jun pulled out his waist knife and shouted at the huge gap: "Brothers, take out the courage of our Lushun Army, rush in with Lao Tzu, slaughter the Japanese army and capture Sakuma Zuo Matthew alive, brothers, rush with me." ”

With a roar, thousands of Qing troops ignored the desperate interception of the Japanese army and began to attack the empty space.

The mourning army will be defeated. The troops in the city of the Second Army have long been frightened by the explosion in the city just now, and now that the city wall has been destroyed, they have no intention of fighting. Seeing the gray and uncountable Qing army, they howled and rushed in, and after a few resistances, they began to retreat. He even took off his military uniform and began to flee.

There is no longer any way to stop this rout. The headquarters of the Second Army in Dalian listened to the shouts of killing and the sound of capturing themselves alive as they got closer and closer. Sakuma Zuo Matthew did not expect that Liu Jun would destroy his impregnable defense line and enter Dalian in just two days.

He didn't admit defeat, he thought that Liu Junyi was despicable, and he didn't have the qualities that an officer should have.

In his opinion, if Liu Junzheng had a battle with him openly, he would not lose, at least not so fast. The reason why he can lose so quickly is because Liu Jun is despicable and shameless.

First, he attacked Dalian for the first time, and the sudden attack combined with the smoke of the navy made him give the wrong order.

Then this time, it was even more hateful, it was clear that tens of thousands of troops had been dispatched, but they actually retreated that night, which made his originally tense heart begin to relax, but what he didn't expect was that this villain suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Dalian on an emergency march that night. At the same time as a huge attack, the navy was also dispatched.

He really couldn't figure out how Liu Jun could transport the army's equipment to the troop carrier in such a short time.

In fact, it's good that he doesn't know, if he does, he will be angry to death.

When Zhong Lin and Li He gave the order, they let the troops go to the open sea and loaded the 2,000 soldiers on the fishing boat onto the Hashidate and Pingyuan.

Because he was afraid that these two thousand people would be exposed, Liu Jun's intention was to let Li He return to the military port when it was almost dark. Then unload the soldiers and weapons from the fishing boats.

It's too dark, and Liu Jun is under martial law two hundred meters away. So the Japanese spies hiding in the mountains did not see clearly at all. Just saw the Navy download the Army loaded this afternoon. Therefore, he sent a fatal message to Dalian, and all the land forces on the navy returned to Hong Kong.

And Sakuma Zomathew will only give the order to transfer the 1st Brigade after he has received a lot of information. What he didn't expect was that there were more than a dozen artillery pieces of the 2,000 Army on board the warship Hashidate and the Hepingyuan.

After the battle in Dalian began the next day, taking advantage of the dense fog, the two warships began to slowly leave Lushun, and after stopping near Dalian, they let the army disembark and secretly land. But he did not expect that the landing troops would encounter the Japanese army less than half an hour after they went up.

As soon as Li He saw the failure of the sneak attack, he also began to order the fleet to start shelling the batteries to cover the army.

Rumble. A shell exploded in the courtyard, and several Japanese soldiers immediately let out a miserable scream, and the courtyard was in disarray.

The sound of the explosion woke Sakuma Zomathew, who stood up and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were still struggling. Close your eyes in pain.

The chief of staff next to him came over and said, "Your Excellency, commander, do you want to arrest the people of the whole city and let them be in front of the outside, so that the Qing army will not attack."

It's a good way, and Sakuma Zuo Matthew is indeed a little excited. But he still knows how the Sixth Division hangs.

He already understands, this Liu Jun, if you dare to take his people, even if you are at the ends of the earth, if you don't catch you and annihilate you, you will not stop.

Shaking his head, Sakuma Zuo Matthew rejected this suggestion, but looked at the smoke in the distance, and for a while, he spat out a few things that he himself had heard not far away: "The whole army retreated to Jinzhou. ”
