Lin Yuan asked people to send the letter to the Japanese army, and began to wait anxiously, will Dashanyan see him? After seeing himself, will he send Anton's Japanese troops to the mountains of this line as he wishes?

Soon Lin Yuan got the answer, and Dashan Yan agreed to see himself, and the location was in front of the two armies.

Lin Yuan called Liu Yufeng and asked, "Which of you has smoke there?" ”

Liu Yufeng said: "Commander Wu and Commander Xiong have both there. ”

Lin Yuan said, "Okay, borrow one for me." ”

Soon it was time to meet, and the way the two of them met was the same as last time, but this time, Lin Yuan, who was calmly smoking a cigarette, was replaced by Lin Yuan, who usually didn't smoke, but in order to be angry, he held a big smoking gun in his hand and pretended to smoke.

Da Shanyan had a cold face, watching Lin Yuan put down the cigarette gun without saying a word, Lin Yuan asked with a smile: "General Dashan, do you remember what you said to me that day?" ”

Dashan Yan sneered: "What don't you remember!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "It seems that I still won." ”

Da Shanyan snorted coldly, and Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't you want to know how I won you?" As you said the other day, the happiest thing is to tell your opponent how you defeated him. ”

Lin Yuan saw that Dashan Yan's face was pale, and he knew that he was already angry, and his own method of agitation had an effect, and the most ruthless way to scold people was to scold himself with what he had said, and let him slap himself in the face, Lin Yuan continued: "This is the truth that General Dashan told me, I want to remember him for the rest of my life!" ”

Dashanyan heard Lin Yuan ridicule himself with what he had said, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, but Dashanyan has also been thinking about it for the past few days, how was the three-way Japanese army cracked? He thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out, and when he heard Lin Yuan say this today, he wanted to find out some news from Lin Yuan's mouth, so a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Lin Yuan continued: "My troops, wipe out all your reinforcements from the three routes, this is how I can defeat you." ”

Lin Yuan was deliberately angry with Da Shanyan, and his words couldn't help but not reveal the slightest information to Da Shanyan, but instead said Da Shanyan's defeat again, which was equivalent to sprinkling salt on his wounds.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "You have to direct your mind to the decisive battle with me here." So he said: "Now that Benxi Lake and Mountain have been captured by us, we will capture Motianling and Caohebao one by one, I advise Your Excellency to say a word, you have not won me, now you still can't win me, you better hurry back to Japan, if you are caught by me, we can't talk like this." ”

Da Shanyan couldn't listen anymore, he slapped the table fiercely, and said, "Lin Yuan, you wait for me, this battle is not over yet, who wins and who loses, let's see." ”

Dashan Yan returned to the command post, went crazy and kept anyone's advice, and gave an order: Anton's 3rd Division and 6th Brigade Regiment went north to reinforce Motianling and Caohe Fort!

When Lin Yuan heard the news, his heart finally fell!

On this day, April 13, the Japanese army mobilized extremely quickly, and it took only one day to leave Andong and go north along the Andong Highway.

After receiving this news, Lin Yuan waited for two days, and on April 15, he ordered the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Ryukyu Division stationed in Lushun to advance eastward from Lushun and take Andong directly, so that the Japanese army would not have time to return to Andong after learning of the Qing attack.

Lin Yuan had just finished stating the order, but the commander over there was in trouble, and the commander was also a member of the Marine Corps, named Lu Xiang, and he said: "Captain, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to advance eastward from Lushun!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What's the difficulty?" ”

Lu Xiang explained: "We have sent people to reconnoitre, from Lushun to Andong, there is no decent road, it is all rural dirt roads, and it is the season of snowmelt, the road is very muddy, people walking on it will slow down, not to mention, what is worse is that we have no way to walk on such a road, so there is no way to transport large equipment and food." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "No wonder Dashanyan dares to mobilize Anton's defenders, it turns out that there is this reason!" Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "If you can't go by land, you can take the sea route." ”

Lu Xiang said: "But now that the Qing Kingdom has no navy, and the combined fleet of the Japanese is still at sea, we take the waterway, don't we want to annihilate the whole army?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "You don't have to worry about this, you walk on the shore, the Japanese warships have a deep draft, and they don't dare to go in to fight you." ”

Lu Xiang said: "The last problem is that we don't have enough boats. Lin Yuan asked, "What about the ship that sent you to land?" ”

Lu Xiang replied helplessly: "Those ships are the cargo ships of the Taiwanese businessman, and they went back to pull food and ammunition for us." ”

Lin Yuan knew that this trip could not be completed in a month, their ship could not be counted on, and when they came back, the opportunity would be gone for a long time, Lin Yuan had no idea for a while, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of a way.

Lin Yuan said: "Have you searched the warehouse of Port Arthur? ”

Lu Xiang said: "Not yet, what's wrong with the warehouse?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "In their warehouse, there must be a lot of boats suitable for offshore shoals, for example, tugboats, when the warship is injured and loses power, they use this kind of boat to tow it into the harbor, or hydrographic survey ships to measure the hydrographic data of the harbor." ”

Lu Xiang suddenly realized and said, "I'll organize someone to find it!" Lu Xiang found a few warriors who knew how to ship, and went to the warehouse to find a treasurer, this Taobao, the harvest was very rich, and he found thirty-seven steam-powered tugboats, each of which could carry more than a hundred people, Lu Xiang felt that these boats were enough, but a soldier said: "This is not right, if the tugboat is like the captain said, the tugboat is to pull the injured warship, there is no need for so much!" ”

Another soldier replied, "yes, I think there might be a barge here!" They left Lu Xiang behind and continued to look in the warehouse, and to their delight, they really found ten sectional barges.

The barge is a ship that has no power itself, in the offshore or inland waterway, carried by the tugboat, mainly used for loading goods, the section barge is the hull can be split into different sections, when traveling to the turn, the hull can be divided into several sections, respectively, this design comes from the ancient section of the ship.

Ten sectional barges, each with a load of about 100 tons, so how many materials are enough to transport, for what kind of military port has this kind of cargo ship, but also from the First Sino-Japanese War, in order to transport materials to the troops in Pyongyang, the Qing army often used large sea ships to transport materials to the mouth of the Datong River, and then used barges to transport them into the Datong River, after the battle, these ships lost their effectiveness, so they have been thrown in Port Arthur, but I did not expect to be used by Lin Yuan's subordinates today.

The soldiers of the 3rd Brigade, who were fully armed, boarded the barge, marched all the way east along the coastal sea, landed in Beijingzi Village, which was about 20 kilometers away from Andong, and after going ashore, they went straight to Anton, which was only a small city, with neither a moat nor a city wall, and the Japanese army did not expect that there would be an enemy attacking from this direction, not even a city fortification!

When the Japanese woke up, they found that the sun flag in the city had been burned to ashes, and they themselves had been disarmed!
