Chapter 092 Life

The reason is very simple: when there were only more than 3,000 Japanese troops in the capital, Ye Zhichao sat and looked at the loss of the capital. How could he suddenly have courage and dared to fight a position with 40,000 Japanese troops!

What's more outrageous is that Ye Zhichao actually claimed that the army had wiped out more than 5,000 Japanese.

The training army was originally the Huai army, and the Huai army was the team that Li Hongzhang started. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to admit this harsh reality - the Huai army has long been depressed. Li Hongzhang is grateful that such an army can be tied with Japan. How can he expect it to destroy the enemy!

Ye Zhichao's cow is too big.

However, Ye Zhichao's shrewdness is that he dares to brag about it!

Once the bull's fart is blown big, no one dares to break it!

Because whoever breaks through this cowhide will smear the court's face and let the emperor and the old Buddha step down!

Li Hongzhang's psychology is very clear that the Qing Dynasty has been defeated by foreigners for many years. The court is gray, and the princes and nobles are ashamed. Whether it is the emperor or the old Buddha, they are looking forward to a victory to win some face for the court.

In fact, both the Buddha and the emperor know that Ye Zhichao's victory has water, but they would rather pretend to be confused. However, they never thought that Ye Zhichao's victory was actually a big defeat that made the court more shameful! In a worse market, behind this great defeat is followed by a looting!

The army of the Qing Dynasty can't beat the Japanese, but the unarmed North Koreans are very brave! Once this matter is made public, what face does the Qing Dynasty have?

Li Hongzhang knew it, but he could not break the paper. He could only appoint Ye Zhichao as the president of the Pyongyang army according to the wishes of the Empress Dowager and the emperor. This is the first bitter fruit swallowed by Li Hongzhang after the start of the First Sino-Japanese War.

Forbid, the total strength of the Qing army stationed in Pyongyang was 15,400, 28 mountain guns and 6 machine guns. With solid city walls, they built fortifications and were ready to work. Under the command of Ye Zhichao, they were ready to attack the Japanese army coming from afar. The Qing army had an advantage in terms of weapons and equipment, terrain and number of people.

Li Hongzhang hopes that Ye Zhichao can be ashamed and brave, and at least fight for the court!

On August 1, 1894, on the sixth day after the battle between the Qing Japanese armies, the Qing Dynasty and Japan declared war on each other.

Two Asian powers fought to the death! This war will determine the political pattern of Asia in the next 100 years, and also determine the rise and fall of China's honor and disgrace!

......

Zhou Charter trekked through the jungle behind Lai Chuanwu.

When jumping off the roof, the 1888 committee rifle was blown into two pieces, and the butt of the gun was heavily smashed on his back. Then, a palm-sized shrapnel was inserted into the wooden butt, and the powerful impact pushed Zhou Charter a few meters away and hit it under a dirt wall.

I don't know whether it is Grandpa's blessing or Feng Guozhang's blessing! Zhou Charter was undamaged, but the back pain hit by the butt of the gun was unbearable. At some times, pain is a kind of happiness, because pain means life!

Lai Chuanwu lost his pain, and the broken shrapnel pierced his chest and back. This guy collapsed into the rubble without saying a word, his eyes closed and he lost consciousness. Still with an incredible face.

Except for several corpses around, there is no living Qing soldier, and the second sentry is completely reimbursed.

The second sentry only blocked the Japanese for 15 minutes and did not complete the task of blocking for half an hour.

Some people died in battle, some became deserters, and some became prisoners.

But anyway, this former training army has done a good job, and even those soldiers who have made a sting job have performed well! At least, they saw the Japanese and heard the Japanese cannons, and they were much stronger than Admiral Ye Zhichao.

In the distance, there was a babbling voice of Japanese soldiers. Zhou Charter could understand Japanese, and those Japanese soldiers were saying, "Good man!"

This is the highest reward for the second whistle, which is more high-end than the court's top-mounted flower fling!

Of course, such a reward is worthless! Neither the soldiers who died in the battle nor the officers who escaped were interested in this reward. In the army of the Qing Dynasty, there is no concept of "honor". To be a soldier is to eat food, and an empty "good man" is useless.

Zhou Charter reached out and explored Lai Chuanwu's nostrils, with a weak breath. Zhou Charter carried Lai Chuanwu on his back and stumbled to the back mountain of Niu Xieli, got into the dense forest, and ran southeast along the mountain.

Tian'an is in the northwest of Niu Xieli, and Zhou Charter fled in the opposite direction to Ye Zhichao. He fled to the rear of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army will only stare at Ye Zhichao, who is the highest general of the Qing army stationed in the dynasty. Moreover, the Japanese army is arrogant and will not consider its own rear at all.

Zhou Charter ran out of five or six miles behind Lai Chuanwu's back and finally climbed a hill, but was found by five Japanese troops patrolling the mountain. Five Japanese soldiers howled and rushed over, and bullets flew overhead.

Lai Chuanwu was strong and weighed at least 160 pounds, which made Zhou Charter's soles of his feet soft. Zhou Charter used his strength to suck milk, dragged Lai Chuanwu to a cliff, put Lai Chuanwu on the ground, knocked out a big stone from the cliff, and held it in his hand - this was his last weapon.

"Why the fuck aren't you running!" Lai Chuanwu woke up, half leaned under a big tree, stared at a pair of eyes, and said to Zhou Charter.

The five Japanese soldiers came to the cliff with bayonets. They did not shoot and obviously wanted to catch them alive.

Zhou Charter held the stone: "Your son of a bitch is heavier than a stone. I can't carry it anymore!"

"I didn't ask you to recite it!" Lai Chuanwu scolded, "Get out of here!"

"How dare you talk to me like this, I'm Mr. Qian!"

"Bullshit, if you fucking die, it's nothing!" Lai Chuanwu laughed: "Get out of here, get out of here!"

"I said Lai Chuanwu, I, Zhou Charter, have never offended you!" Zhou Charter shouted, "How can you see me? Your eyes are not eyes, nose, not nose! You made it clear to me!"

Lai Chuanwu shouted loudly: "Behind!"

A Japanese soldier climbed up the cliff and just showed half of his head. Zhou Charter smashed a stone down and hit his forehead. The Japanese soldier howled and rolled down the cliff.

Before Zhou Charter grabbed the stone, the two Japanese soldiers rushed up with bayonets on the left and right. Zhou Charter let a Japanese soldier's bayonet on one side and grabbed his throat with his backhand. With two hands and a click, the Japanese soldier collapsed softly - his neck was twisted and broken.

Another Japanese soldier stabbed Zhou Charter's back, but there was a garlic under his feet. His feet were dragged to death by Lai Chuanwu, and the bayonet could not be sent out. The Japanese soldier was furious and hit Lai Chuanwu's head. Lai Chuanwu's forehead was splashed with blood, but it was not loose. Hands.

Two more Japanese soldiers climbed the cliff and knew that they could not catch it alive. They raised the Murata-style rifle and pointed it at Zhou Charter's forehead.

Only heard several gunshots, and three Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

Zhao Xiaoman rushed out of the dense forest behind the cliff with a group of soldiers.

"Master, come with me!" Zhao Xiaoman waved his hand, and the soldiers raised Lai Chuanwu and ran to the jungle.

Zhou Charter asked, "Zhao Xiaoman, why are you here?"

Zhao Xiaoman did not look back and just ran forward. Zhou Charter had no choice but to follow Zhao Xiaoman, get into the dense forest and run to the southeast.

People walked along the rugged mountain road, passed through a dense forest, turned over a mountain beam, and came to a canyon.

The canyon is full of dead vines and old trees, and the air is humid and extremely hidden. Zhao Xiaoman stopped running and smiled at Zhou Charter: "Master, brothers are all here."

Zhou Charter looked up and saw that the canyon was full of Qing soldiers, sitting or lying down, with 400 to 500 people.

When these Qing soldiers saw Zhou Charter, they stood up and raised their hands to salute. Their movements were strange, but they were indeed Professor Zhou Charter's Western-style military salute.

They are all the officers and soldiers of Zhangzi Camp.

Zhou Charter got angry and scolded Zhao Xiaoman: "Why are you son of a bitch here! Son of a bitch, why don't you follow General Manager Nie! How dare you disobey my orders!"

Zhou Charter asked Zhao Xiaoman to retreat with the new army sentry, leaving the second sentry to block it, in order to preserve this new army sentry composed of footers. They are the seeds of the future new army. Now it is good that not only did not run out of the new army sentry, but also the first sentry.

Before Zhao Xiaoman could answer, Luo Mingfang came out of the crowd: "Zhou Charter, I am also Mr. Qian! It was I who ordered Zhao Xiaoman to go this way.

"You son of a bitch," Zhou Charter said angrily, "You are a fucking artillery belt. Why did you come to my Zhangzi camp!"

Speaking of artillery, Luo Mingfang jumped eight feet high: "Zhou Charter! You son of a bitch, you blew up my cannon, and I'm endless with you!"

"It's endless with me. Come on and have a try!" Zhou Charter shouted.

Luo Mingfang rushed up with a vigorous step. Yao Xi rushed out of the crowd and hugged Luo Mingfang's waist. Luo Mingfang couldn't move and shouted angrily: "Zhou Charter, you have a lot of people. You have the ability to let your grandchildren get out of here and fight with me."

Zhou Charter shouted loudly: "Yao Xi, get out of here!" With that, he raised his fist and rushed to Luo Mingfang.

Yao Xi didn't get out, but Zhao Xiaoman rushed up and hugged Zhou Charter and shouted, "Master, I can't do it, I can't!"

"Zhao Xiaoman, you want to rebel!" Zhou Charter shouted.

However, I saw Naha come out step by step by step. First, I saluted a military salute to Zhou Charter, and then bowed to Luo Mingfang and said, "The two masters are angry. My Hawu, as an outsider, in an impartial, open and fair attitude, made the following judgment on today's matter..."

"Bullshit, how dare you fucking judge me... Where's your first whistle?" Zhou Charter drank it.
