"Damn it! Where the hell are the scouts!"
Yi Zhi couldn't help but curse. However, he had truly wronged those people. Due to the sudden order to gather, they had been recalled and assigned new tasks. The few who remained at the periphery had already been killed by Yuan Shikai's outpost.
However, he still ordered the Japanese soldiers to retreat. All the heavy objects were thrown away and only bullets, firearms, and a small amount of rations were brought.
"Master! The Japanese began to retreat, and they were about to leave the cannon's range!“
Duan Qirui quickly ran over and said.
"En! He saw it! Get the veterans and the new soldiers to prepare for the pursuit. Don't fall into an ambush! Come back before dark, don't go too deep!“
Yuan Shikai nodded his head. In fact, after understanding the strength of the Japanese, he had already given up on the mission Wang Guangxu had given him.
If they didn't have the cannons, they wouldn't have any confidence in defeating the Japanese. Even if they had the cannons, they would have to pay a heavy price to wipe out the Japanese. At least three to five thousand people wouldn't be able to survive.
They had originally prepared to fire their cannons and then charge forward with their entire army. Who would have thought that before they even arrived, the Japanese had already begun to gather and retreat south.
They had no choice but to fire ahead of time.
"This might be the best ending! Hopefully, they would achieve good results. They had to let the soldiers see more blood!”
He thought to himself, and then locked his target on the Korean rebels. Those people were a little weak, but it was good for the new army to quickly adapt to the situation.
"Baka! Were these people rabbits? How did he run so fast!"
Hanafang Yoshiki also joined the ranks of the fleeing soldiers on his horse. However, the Japanese were well-trained. Although they were scattered, they still had their basic formation.
However, they were surprised to find that the fully armed Qing army could actually outrun them.
The tail at the back was constantly being nibbled away, and the team was about to collapse.
"Yamamoto, Takashima, we can't go on like this! He had to abandon a portion of the warriors!”
Yi Zhi looked behind him and made a decision.
"Ha Yi!"
The two of them gritted their teeth and immediately arranged for people to order the last two regiments to hold off the pursuing troops.
…………
"F * ck! This bunch of birdmen were so fierce?“
"What happened? Cutting off its tail to survive?“
The new soldiers who were in pursuit suddenly noticed that the last 1,000 Japanese soldiers had started to turn around and charge over fearlessly, causing the new soldiers to be a little confused.
"What are you afraid of? Go up and kill them!“
A veteran company commander immediately led his men to charge forward. He understood that this was a battle of strength. To put it bluntly, it was a battle of courage and training. If they cowered, it was very likely that they would be defeated. At that time, the Japanese would not have any chance to turn around and attack.
"Ping, ping, ping!“
Under the barrage of gunfire, many Japanese soldiers fell. As the Japanese soldiers had only brought a small amount of bullets with them, they were almost out of bullets. They could only hold in their energy and charge forward. Only by charging together would they not be shot. Therefore, they all charged forward crazily, ignoring their fallen comrades.
After sacrificing three to four hundred lives, the two sides finally met and began an arduous battle of a hundred blades.
Under the lead and stimulation of the veteran, the fear in the recruits 'hearts was replaced by excitement. They also rushed forward while shouting.
The two sides immediately started fighting.
"Let's go!“
Hanafang Yizhi originally wanted to see if this army was still like the Qing army in the past, which would collapse once they engaged in close combat.
However, reality gave him a heavy blow.
Although the Qing army's hand-to-hand combat was still very inexperienced, under the leadership of the veterans, the skills they usually mastered were unleashed. He already knew that he had no chance.
The Japanese army was chased for six hours before they could no longer see the shadows behind them. When they gathered at Pusan, there were only about 3,000 soldiers left. Those who got separated were killed.
The 3rd Division would not spare a single Japanese captive.
…………
On the second day, after hearing that the Japanese had been defeated, the big-shot sent 500,000 taels of silver over. Korea was not a big country, and if they could gather 500,000 taels of silver from such a small place, it would be enough to pay for several months of taxes.
On the third day, near noon, Li Xingying led the guards of honor and entered the Qing army camp.
He also wanted to keep a low profile, but he could not suppress the joy in his heart. He had been thinking about this throne for many years. Now that he had finally been recognized, how could he not show off?
Big shot Li Xingying colluded with the Japanese pirates and attempted to rebel! Sentenced to death! The rest of the accomplices will be punished for the same crime!“
However, he never expected that the moment he entered the camp, he would be faced with a pitch-black row of guns and such a sentence.
