Chapter 122 Killing each other

In the battle of Chenghuan, Ye Zhichao lied about the results of the battle and turned a big defeat into a great victory. Li Hongzhang believed it and appointed Ye Zhichao as the commander-in-chief of Pyongyang to restrain the Pyongyang army. However, the generals of Pyongyang were clear about the outcome of the battle of Chenghuan, and they were extremely dissatisfied with Ye Zhichao, the defeated general.

These generals are all generals of the Qing Dynasty, all holding heavy soldiers, and they also have their own * in the court. No one paid attention to Ye Zhichao. On the surface, he was respectful to Ye Zhichao, but no one obeyed Ye Zhichao's dispatch.

In this way, the generals fought separately, guarded their respective territories, and did not belong to each other. Ye Zhichao can't do anything about these generals.

This is a pain for Zhang Xun.

Compared with those generals, Zhang Xun has low qualifications, low positions and few soldiers. What's worse, he doesn't have*.

He was originally a subordinate of Admiral Su Yuanchun of Guangxi, but Su Yuanchun did not like Zhang Xun. Later, he was transferred to the account of Sichuan Admiral Song Qing. Song Qing also valued him very much, but he went to North Korea within a few days after he followed Song Qing.

Zhang Xun had nothing to do with the generals, generals and deputy generals in Pyongyang City. Until now, he was still a small general with 1,500 soldiers. Those generals and deputy generals looked down on him at all. When demarcated the defense area, these arrogant generals pushed Zhang Xun around, and no one was willing to accept him.

Zhang Xun is a little famous. This boy governs the army with an iron fist. Whoever commits something in his hands will definitely kill him. In the army of the Qing Dynasty, this is not a good reputation. None of the generals wanted to have such a thorn in their defense area, hiding from him like a plague god.

Zhang Xun is like a homeless dog in the city of Pyongyang, with white eyes. However, this Xun also had some backbone. In anger, he rushed to Ye Zhichao's door with his three battalions. Ye Zhichao had just lost the battle. It was when the wind and the grass and trees were all soldiers. As soon as he heard the shouting of the gates, he was so scared that he jumped on the war horse and was about to run away. Fortunately, Ye Tuo was calm and stopped Ye Zhichao, so he didn't make a joke.

Ye Tao hurriedly threw out the door and asked, only to know that Zhang Xun only wanted a defense area. Ye Zhichao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered Zhang Xun's headquarters to guard Jinghaimen.

What Zhang Xun asked for was a defense area. The so-called defense area was actually a place to settle down. Ye Zhichao gave him Jinghaimen. Zhang Xun was overjoyed and did not think about it. He took people to Jinghaimen.

But when he arrived at Jinghaimen, Zhang Xun knew that he had put on Ye Zhichao's condom.

Jinghaimen is the territory of Shengjunwei Rugui.

At the beginning, Zhang Xun led a team to patrol in Jiulian City. In a hotel, he met nine Sheng officers and soldiers flirting with Jin Shu's mother and daughter. Zhou Charter acted righteously and fought with Sheng's soldiers. Zhang Xun quickly cut the chaos and killed 9 soldiers of Sheng's army, and there was also a general inside! Sheng Jun has always been domineering and has never taken others seriously. He suffered a great loss of Zhang Xun in Jiulian City. Wei Rugui has always kept this account in mind.

Now, Zhang Xun has arrived at his territory, and there are still good fruits to eat?

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Xun's department took over Jinghaimen, Wei Rugui began to find Zhang Xun's trouble. Wei Rugui deployed Zhang Xun's three battalions in the fortress outside Jinghaimen, and his strong army was stationed on Jinghaimen. Jinghaimen was the only channel for Zhang Xun's ammunition, grain supply. In this way, Wei Rugui easily cut off Zhang Xun's logistical supplies.

Only three days after Zhang Xun's troops entered the fortress, they cut off the food and sent someone to find Wei Rugui. Wei Rugui agreed well on the surface and said that he would send food immediately, but Zhang Xun couldn't wait in the fortress. Zhang Xun knew that Wei Rugui was a troublecomer, but he had no choice but to send people out of the city to raise food. However, Ye Zhichao ordered the hard wall to clear the field, and the people 50 miles outside the city of Pyongyang ran away, and there was not a grain of grain.

The army has no food, not to mention a war. I'm afraid that if you don't see the Japanese, the army will break up. Zhang Xun was also a fearless master. Unexpectedly, he took his people and horses to sneak attack the Sheng army's grain depot, tied up a sentry guarding the grain depot, threw it into the grain depot, and moved all the grain in the grain depot into the fortress.

Wei Rugui was furious and ordered the Sheng army to surround the fortress garrisoned by Zhang Xun. Within half an hour, Zhang Xun handed over the camp officer who attacked the grain depot and beheaded him to show it to the public. Zhang Xun had food and came to the spirit. He ordered his Yi army to enter a state of war and point his gun at Shengjun.

Half an hour later, Sheng Jun attacked the fortress with a large number of people, while the Yi army shot back rudely. As a result, more than a dozen Sheng Jun were killed, and the rest fled to Jinghaimen.

Before the Japanese arrived, the Qing army began to kill each other!

Wei Rugui's strong army has always been famous for its fierce fighting, but it depends on who their opponents are. They fought well against the Hui people and the Nian army, but if they really meet an army equipped with modern weapons, the fragility of the prosperous army will be exposed. In fact, the training level and combat effectiveness of Yijun are not very good. However, Sheng Jun can't do anything about Yijun.

Zhang Xun and Wei Rugui formed a deep blood feud.

Seeing that the strong attack was not enough, Wei Rugui ran to Ye Zhichao and sued Zhang Xun, saying that Zhang Xun led his troops to attack the army of the Qing Dynasty with the intention of plotting rebellion, and asked Ye Zhichao to arrest Zhang Xun in the name of commander and immediately correct it. Law.

In this matter, Ye Zhichao is also sober. He didn't like Zhang Xun at first, but he knew that this was Wei Rugui's own suffering. More importantly, the Japanese army was marching into Pyongyang. A big war was imminent. Although Zhang Xun was a thorn, he was a good man in the war. Ye Zhichao also pointed to Zhang Xun to defend Pyongyang for him. Therefore, Ye Zhichao came with a mud, sent someone to scold Zhang Xun a few words, and then said that it was a misunderstanding, hoping that the two sides would work together to unite against the enemy.

Wei Rugui did not sue Zhang Xun. He couldn't swallow it in one breath. He secretly swore that he was at warble with Zhang Xun.

Soon, the Japanese launched an attack on Pyongyang. Jinghaimen was attacked by the Japanese army. More than 3,000 people from the Yuanshan detachment of the Japanese army carried five cannons to launch a fierce attack on Jinghaimen, and the fortress garrisoned by Zhang Xun was the first.

However, Zhang Xun's resolute army resisted tenaciously with the fortress. The position was broken by the Japanese army several times and recaptured it several times. At the moment of crisis, a Japanese squadron rushed into the fortress, and the two sides had a hand-to-hand fight. Zhang Xun sent people to ask Wei Rugui for help. However, Wei Rugui claimed that the soldier who asked for help was a deserter and killed him, and the first level was hanging in silence. On the sea gate.

Zhang Xun saw the head of the soldier from afar. He was so angry that he beat his chest and almost fainted. However, the Japanese army attacked fiercely, so Zhang Xun had to do his best to fight against the Japanese army. Fortunately, after a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese army was finally repelled.

In this battle, Zhang Xun's army killed more than 200 people, and the fortress was full of corpses.

Because of Zhang Xun's tenacious resistance, the Japanese army did not force into Jinghaimen. The officers and soldiers on Jinghaimen watched the battle on the wall with their legs crossed, watching the officers and soldiers die and injuries, but they made bursts of scolding and laughing. That situation, like a military observer in a third country, watched Zhang Xun fight with the Japanese with great interest.

In the evening, it rained heavily, and the Japanese stopped attacking. Zhang Xun sat in the fortress and stayed up all night, greeting the eight generations of Wei Ru's ancestors fiercely.

After the fifth watch, Zhang Xun closed his eyes in a daze. Less than ten minutes after sleeping, he was woken up by his own soldiers. The soldiers were shocked and told Zhang Xun that there was no one on Jinghaimen, and Sheng Jun was gone!

Soon, Zhang Xun found that not only the Sheng army had disappeared, but all the Qing soldiers in Pyongyang had disappeared.

In the big Pyongyang city, there were only more than a thousand Qing troops left in the fortress, and the others all slipped away.

It turned out that late last night, Wei Rugui detained Ye Zhichao's order to escape from the city.

All the troops were ordered to retreat, but Zhang Xunmeng was in the dark.

Wei Rugui is going to give Zhang Xun to the Japanese!

Zhang Xun was shocked and couldn't think much about it. He hurriedly escaped from the fortress with people and horses and fled in the direction of Yizhou.

Maybe God really couldn't see it. Zhang Xun ran away all the way, but it was surprisingly smooth. On the way, he did not encounter the Japanese interception.

Speaking of which, this is still thanks to Wei Rugui.

It turned out that last night, the Qing army in Pyongyang abandoned the city and fled, which was completely expected by the Japanese army. The Japanese army has already set up ambush on the road to Yizhou and chased and intercepted the Qing army all the way. The more the Qing army ran in front of it, the more it was hit by the Japanese army, with heavy casualties, while the Qing army, which retreated slower, suffered less damage. Among them, the most tragic was Wei Rugui's Sheng army, which was surrounded and intercepted by the Japanese as the main force of the Qing army.

After a night of fierce fighting, the Japanese army was also exhausted, and they didn't expect that there was still a Qing army in Pyongyang. They thought that the Qing army had already run away. Therefore, after dawn, all walks of life ambushed the Japanese army and returned to the camp to prepare for the process of accepting Pyongyang. Pyongyang used to be the capital of North Korea and an important town in the north. The occupation of Pyongyang meant the end of the Korean campaign. Therefore, the Japanese army should dress up and enter the city.

In this way, although Zhang Xun ran in a mess, he did not lose a single soldier, and his weapons and equipment were not lost. They also dragged back five cannons.

It's annoying that they didn't get any grain along the way. From Pyongyang to Yizhou, more than 10,000 defeated soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have robbed the grain along the way. When the officers and soldiers ran to the city of Yizhou, they were all starving, like a group of starving ghosts.

Under the south gate of Yizhou City, the enemy's road was narrow, and they met Wei Rugui's strong army.

It is a miracle that Zhang Xun's Yijun was able to survive under the city of Yizhou.

Most of the soldiers have been out of food for three days. This tired and hungry division is looking at Yizhou City, hoping to go to the city to have a full meal. Otherwise, they can only starve to death under the city.

Yizhou is their last hope.

However, Wei Rugui ordered Sheng Jun to close the gate and point the black gun at the Yi army under the city.
