"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 the outpost sent by Yuan Kai.
However, he still began to command the Japanese army to retreat. All the heavy objects were thrown away and only bullets, guns, and a small amount of dry food were brought.
"Master! The Japanese army began to retreat. They would soon be out of 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 Kai nodded. In fact, after understanding the combat strength of the Japanese army, he had already given up hope for the complete annihilation mission given to him by Wang Guangxu.
Without the cannons, there was no certainty that they could defeat 10,000 Japanese soldiers. Even if they had the cannons, they would have to pay a heavy price to wipe out the Japanese army. At least 3,000 to 5,000 people would not have survived.
Originally, they were prepared to fire the cannons randomly, and then the entire army would press forward. They did not expect that before they arrived, the Japanese army had already begun to gather and prepare to 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 he locked his target on the Korean rebels. Those people were a little weak, but it was very good for the new army to quickly adapt to the situation.
"Baka! Were these people rabbits? How did he run so fast!"
Hanaya Yoshiki also joined the ranks of fleeing on one of the few horses. However, the Japanese were also well-trained. Although the cannons were scattered, the basic structure was still there.
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.
"Sugimoto-kun, Takashimay-kun, this is not the way to go! 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! Are these birdmen so fierce?"
"What happened? Cutting off its tail to survive?"
The new soldiers who were chasing suddenly discovered that the last thousand Japanese soldiers had started to turn around and charge over fearlessly, instantly blinding the new soldiers.
"What are you afraid of? Go up and kill them!"
A veteran company commander immediately led his men to fight. He understood that at this time, it was a battle of momentum. To put it bluntly, it was a battle of courage and usual training. If they cowered, it was very likely that they would be defeated. At that time, the Japanese army would have no chance to turn around and attack.
"Ping, ping, ping!"
Under the barrage of gunfire, many Japanese soldiers fell. As the Japanese soldiers had not brought many bullets with them when they left, they had almost run out of bullets. They could only hold in their strength and charge forward. Only by charging together could they not take bullets. Therefore, they all advanced 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.
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 gradually lost sight of the shadows behind them. When they gathered at Pusan, there were only about 3,000 people left. Those who got separated were killed.
The 3rd Division would not spare a Japanese captive.
The next day, the big shot who heard about the defeat of the Japanese army sent 500,000 taels of silver. Korea was not a big country. If they could gather 500,000 taels of silver from such a small place, it would be enough for them to pay taxes for several months.
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 Japan 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.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082420182:57PM
