Chapter 073 Yuanjin Mountain

The direction of the palace is still fighting fiercely, and Zhou Charter knows that the resistance of the palace guards will not last long.

The battle of Yang Huajin is enough to show the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army. They are not at the same level as the Japanese army at all.

North Korean soldiers are full of blood. Hong Jong-woo and Park Yong-yeol are good men, but in modern warfare, blood alone can't win.

Once the palace falls and the king falls into the hands of the Japanese, the Japanese can manipulate the Korean court to fight against the Qing army. In this way, North Korea, which was originally a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, will become the enemy of the Qing Dynasty. The North Korean army will fight side by side with the Japanese and shoot at the Qing army.

The Qing army stationed in Chenghuan is bound to fall into a situation of advance and retreat.

Ye Zhichao's timidity buried North Korea and the army of the Qing Dynasty.

"Shua, if North Korea declares war on the Qing Dynasty, will you still follow me?" Zhou Charter asked.

"Brother Zhou, what did you say?" Jin Shu looked at Zhou Charter in surprise. She didn't know anything about military or politics.

"I mean, if your court orders the expulsion of the Qing army, will you be my enemy?"

"No..." Jin Shu shook her head: "If they really want to do this, I want to be with you."

"But North Korea is your motherland."

"Brother Zhou, that court does not represent my motherland. The court is the enemy of the Qing Dynasty, but the people of North Korea will not be the enemy of the Qing Dynasty. The people hate the Japanese and like the Qing Dynasty."

Zhou Charter suddenly realized that since the North Korean authorities delayed Kim Yujun, the North Korean people had abandoned the court from the bottom of their hearts.

The court can be the enemy of the Qing Dynasty, but the people have other ideas.

Maybe this is the last chance for the Qing Dynasty.

Zhou Charter is energetic: "Shu'er, let's go!"

"Hmm!" Jin Shu nodded. She didn't ask Zhou Charter where he was going. Anyway, she followed Zhou Charter wherever he went.

The two took the night to the Han River and got into the reeds.

It is the most convenient way to go down the Han River by boat. However, the Han River has become the world of the Japanese, and ironclad ships swim on the river and block the river. The two can't take a boat or return to the city. The Japanese army has taken control of the capital, and the streets are full of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition.

They can only get into the reeds and escape downstream along the river bank.

The Japanese army has just entered the city. Their goal is to capture the palace and control the capital as soon as possible. They can't draw strength to patrol the river bank. Although there are armored ships on the river, in the vast river, armored ships cannot fully control the wide river bank.

The two were deep and shallow in the reeds, which was extremely difficult, but they were also smooth. They did not meet the Japanese along the way.

An hour later, the two followed the reeds to the west of the capital.

The Han River passed by the city wall from the west of the capital. The river here is narrow and full of reeds. Because the Han River is used as a barrier, there is no wall built here. The North Korean officers and soldiers built several forts along the river as defensive support. However, when the Japanese attacked the city, they bypassed the forts and chose the main direction of attack in the east, south and north. In the direction, the forts here did not work at all. After the Japanese entered the city, the North Korean officers and soldiers here dispersed. Before the Japanese army could take over for the time being, it became a defense blank. Only a Japanese armored ship patrolled the river back and forth, and there were no other Japanese troops.

Taking advantage of the gap of the iron-clad ship patrol, Zhou Charter successfully swam across the Han River with Jin Shu on his back and escaped from the capital in the war.

The two walked two miles south along the bank of the river and saw the west gate of the capital on the other side of the river, igniting a blazing fire and illuminating half of the sky.

The west gate is facing Yuanjin Mountain, which is the field artillery position of the Japanese army. The west gate was the first to be shelled.

Yesterday during the day, when Zhou Charter and Jin Shu escaped from Kaesong, they saw this artillery position from behind, with 15 wild guns on it.

There is an official road at the foot of Yuanjin Mountain, which leads from the west gate to the west Kaicheng, which is the road walked by Zhou Charter and Jin Shu. However, the two did not enter the capital from this official road, but walked around a big circle and entered the city from the east gate. Only then did they happen to meet Feng Guozhang.

Zhou Charter has helped Jin Shu get the remains of Jin Yujun. Although this is only a human head, it is enough to return the lives of the 105 Qing soldiers to Cui Shiheng, the head of Dongxue.

Zhou Charter intends to rush back to the Fenghun Valley to the west, but he can't set foot on the official road. Yuanjin Mountain is the artillery position of the Japanese army, and there must be heavy troops around it.

The two got into the jungle by the roadside and climbed along the mountain.

Zhou Charter was exploring the way. Jin Shu followed closely and was walking. Jin Shu gently pulled Zhou Charter: "Brother Zhou, there is someone on the road."

Zhou Charter hurriedly squatted down and looked to the northeast along Jin Shu's fingers. A group of people filed out of the west gate. In front of them was a group of Japanese cavalry, ten people and ten riders, riding a tall horse with a horse with a horse gun. The horse team was followed by a group of more than 20 Japanese infantry. It was a small team, holding A group of prisoners walked along the official road to Yuanjin Mountain.

Zhou Charter said in a low voice, "Shu'er, we have to save them!"

"Hmm!" Jin Shu nodded solemnly.

The first one in the captive group is Feng Guozhang, the former eldest brother of Zhou Charter and now the younger brother!

To Zhou Charter's surprise, the one walking behind Feng Guozhang turned out to be Ha Wu!

Behind by Naha Five are Yao Xi, Yu Guangxin, Li Guoge and Xin Delin.

After that, two North Korean soldiers carried a pair of stretchers. On the stretcher lay an old man with white hair - Li Kangying, the king of the compound, and Park Yonglie walked beside the stretcher, taking care of Li Kangying on the stretcher.

The Japanese soldiers walked on both sides of the group of prisoners with rifles and bright bayonets in the head of the guns.

At the end of the team, a major officer rode on a jujube-red horse. The major was in his twenties, frowned and feng eyes, and there was no need under his jaw. His military uniform was neat. He held the bridle in one hand and pressed the command knife hanging around his waist with the other. He was very heroic.

Feng Guozhang is not dead! Zhou Chartered a sigh of relief.

The Japanese army took the prisoners and walked along the official road in the direction of Yuanjin Mountain.

Looking at that, Yuanjin Mountain is not only an artillery position, but also likely to be a senior headquarters of the Japanese army.

Because Li Cang, the king of the compound, should be a unique person. The commander of the siege force has no right to deal with him, and the Japanese army should take him to meet a higher-level commander.

Zhou Charter said softly, "Shu'er, let's go to Yuanjin Mountain."

"Hmm." Jin Shu nodded, stood up and left.

"Hey," Zhou Charter pulled Jin Shu: "Why don't you ask why? Just do what I say." Along the way, whenever Zhou Charter made a decision, Jin Shu never doubted it and didn't even raise her opinion. She did what Zhou Charter said.

Jin Shu frowned: "Is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong. I mean, you're not afraid that I did something wrong and implicates you."

"If it's involved, then what's the matter?" Jin Shu bit her lip: "Brother Zhou, as you said, I'm not allowed to leave you! Otherwise, you will be very angry and the consequences will be serious.

"That's bullshit." Zhou Charter said.

Jin Shu was unhappy: "Brother Zhou, what a man says must be done. Why do you have such an attitude? I'm not responsible for my words!"

"All right," Zhou Charter said hurriedly, "

"Suer, my idea is that there are many Japanese people on the road, and we can't do it..."

"So let's go to the mountain first to see where they locked Brother Feng and others, and then act with the camera!" Jin Shu said.

"Shua! You are so fucking smart!" Zhou Charter sincerely praised it.

"No swearing!"

"If you don't say anything, Shu'er will be angry, and the consequences will be more serious!"

"Bah!"

Yuanjin Mountain is facing the west gate of the capital. There are several barbed wire nets and trenches at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside. You don't need to observe and know that there are guard troops behind those barbed wire nets and trenches.

With the moonlight, the two went around to the back mountain. On the hillside of the back mountain, there is a dense forest and dark.

The two walked carefully along the ridge to a small hill. Jin Shu gently pulled the Zhou Charter and pointed to a pine tree in front of her.

Zhou Charter was overjoyed. He fought crooked all the way and actually walked to the place where the gun was buried yesterday morning!

The two came under the pine tree, dug up the floating soil, and took out the rifle of the 1888 Committee of Germany. The gun body was still dark and shiny.

"Shua, I can guarantee that we will be fine." Zhou Charter said.

"Why?"

"My grandfather is blessing me in the sky!" Zhou Charter pointed to the blue and black sky, as if he had seen Grandpa's wrinkled face!

"My father will bless me too!" Jin Shu is unconvinced.

"Yes, yes, good people have a safe life!"

Zhou Charter had a rifle and gave the pistol to Jin Shu. Jin Shu has never played with a gun and doesn't know how to use it. Zhou Charter simply taught him how to use insurance, aiming and shooting. Jin Shu tried it and shook her head and said, "Brother Zhou, this thing is not easy to use. I have a dagger, so don't need a gun."

It is not easy for a girl to learn to operate a pistol so quickly. Among other things, the weight of the gun alone makes Jin Shu's wrist very uncomfortable. However, it is better for Jin Shu to have a gun in her hand than not to have a gun. At least, Zhou Charter feels psychologically safer.

Zhou Charter shouted, "Even if I hold it for my brother, I'm tired of carrying two guns alone!"

"That's good." Jin Shu pouted her little mouth and reluctantly put the gun into her arms.

The two went down the mountain bag and began to climb the back mountain of Yuanjin Mountain. They walked halfway up the mountain, and there was a faint voice in front of them.

On the top of the mountain, a bright moon lit up the hillside. The two crawled in the grass, pushed away the bushes in front of them, and saw the faint light in the mountain forest not far away, and there were shadows shaking inside.

A series of horses' hoofs came from the distance.

Suddenly, countless horse lights were lit in the mountain forest, and the dark mountain forest shone brightly.

In front of Zhou Charter, a huge field tent appeared. Around the tent, there were countless Japanese soldiers with live ammunition, holding guns in one hand and horse lanterns in the other.

There are more than a dozen generals standing in front of the tent. The first officer wore the rank of major general and his face was gloomy.
