0731 Cakes of a hundred thousand troops
Zhou Maoqi took a sip of water, "I naturally know that Xuan Yuemeng is bluffing, but Jiangnan is indeed in the hands of China, and the imperial court does not have the power to retake Jiangnan. This is something everyone knows! Originally, the Chinese army made a trick in Taipei, and the people heard that the army of Da 6 came to kill him, so how can we not be anxious? If Xuan Yuemeng did this, if we don't stand on his side, we will be his enemy. Without foreign aid, Taiwan has such a big place and resources are so scarce, where can we raise tens of thousands of troops to fight against Xuan Yuemeng?"
"Then, what should I do now?" Xia Xianlun was also anxious as he heard the sound of slogans shouting from outside the prefect's office.
Those who organized the people to petition and shout slogans were all from the Taiwan Station of the Huacui Party Statistics Bureau of Taiwan. Although there were not many people at the Taiwan Station, there was no problem in organizing more than 100 officers and even thousands of villagers. With such a fuss in Tainan, the people and the army around Tainan were all anxious!
The gentry is originally a fence-bearer, and the cute president's system does not deprive property for no reason. Most gentry is not a stereotyped bully in TV series. Instead, there are many well-educated and well-educated family families. What are these scholars most afraid of?
fear death!
Although many knowledgeable people can see that the cute CEO is bluffing. If he could mobilize a 100,000 army, wouldn’t he be mobilized earlier?
Therefore, they went to the newspapers of Huacui Evening News to express their opinions, supporting China to liberation of the entire Taiwan and willing to accept China's leadership.
The cute president was not afraid of military strength and finance, but through strong public opinion pressure, he promoted the awakening of the entire Taiwanese people, forcing the people to stand on the side. If they don’t stand in the right place, you can just wait to die!
This was bustling. At noon on the third day of the phone call by the cute president, more than a dozen Qing soldiers, totaling more than 40,000, and they have always claimed to be more than 50,000 Qing soldiers. If they deducted the part that was empty, they would only be 40,000.
More than 40,000 people began to siege Checheng in a desperate situation.
In fact, everyone has figured it out after being forced by the cute president. No matter whether they beat the Japanese or not, Taiwan will be the cute president sooner or later. It is impossible for so many Qing troops to get together. With the sea cut off, this cute president of Taiwan has no strength or reputation to adapt these troops!
Now the Qing army has covered the artillery fire in the Checheng. Although the Qing army only had more than 100 old-fashioned iron cannons to attack the Checheng with a small city wall, there was no problem.
Xixiang Congdao was shocked, "Are the Chinese crazy? All of them are Qing troops, why did they suddenly attack us?"
"According to our intelligence personnel, it was Xuan Yuemeng who put pressure on the military and civilians in Tainan through telegrams and Huacui Evening News, claiming that in ten days, they would mobilize 100,000 troops to Taiwan, so that they would suddenly do this." The adjutant replied.
Xixiang Congdao slapped his thigh, "Oh! Can these stupid Chinese people believe the words of Xuan Yuemeng? Xuan Yuemeng cannot even believe in punctuation! There is a 100,000 army. If he can give out 10,000 people, I will give him the head! Xuan Yuemeng is really terrible. This is not a military means, it is a political offensive! Our politics, compared with China, is simply inferior to that of young children!"
"The general is not the time to say this now. What should we do now? If we don't make a decision, we will be wiped out here!" the adjutant said anxiously.
Saigo Congdao frowned, "What do you mean? Do you want me to surrender? There are no samurai who surrendered in the Great Japanese Empire. You are all samurai! Nothing is possible!"
The adjutant was so scared that he dared not speak any more and retreated.
With the cooperation of powerful artillery fire, the Qing army was attacked like a loose sand, but it could not withstand the number of people that was twenty times that of the Japanese! The attack from all directions and such momentum made everyone strive for the first place. Everyone knows that if they could get the Japanese heads in this battle, they should be able to go to the Chinese Klinsmann Foreign Service in Tainan and the newspaper of the Huacui Evening News to ask for credit!
The Qing army blew thunder and war drums in unison, and the cannons roared. The Qing army had a rare moment of such a mighty moment. When facing foreign aggression, everyone stood up!
Although there were twenty people fighting one, and they all fought against the Japanese army who had been hungry for more than a month and could only rely on eating grass roots and tree bark, their momentum and spirit are still worthy of praise.
Saigo commanded two thousand Japanese soldiers to defend Checheng from the Dao, rows of various anti-branded guns bought from the United States and Europe were quite well-organized.
Although the Qing army's bird guns and short guns were at a disadvantage in dealing with the miscellaneous brands of Xixiang Congdao, they could not withstand the number of people.
Xixiang saw from the Taoist eyes that the Qing army was too powerful to defend such a small stone city. He frowned and ordered: "No, I can't defend it anymore. I see that the Qing army at the East Gate is relatively weak, so I break through the East Gate!"
The Japanese soldiers rushed out of the east gate and fought with the Qing army. This unit only had more than 3,000 people, and the Saigo was quite accurate in looking at the Dao. There was indeed a chance to break through here.
Taiwan's prefect Zhou Maoqi and Taiwan's military officer Xia Xianlun, who brought several local groups of people from Taiwan, arrived just in time.
Xia Xianlun saw the Japanese people who were extremely brave and attacked with samurai swords and rifles, and asked worriedly: "Master Zhou, should we wait a moment? The Japanese are too fierce. If our brothers fight too little, will we seem too weak in front of the cute president in the future?"
The Taiwanese governor Zhou Maoqi's thoughts were also confused. He thought nervously for a while and frowned, "You are confused. If you let the Japanese go, you will be even more shameless. At this time, you will be considered a meritorious service."
Xia Xianlun suddenly realized that he still did not dare to urge the army to fight.
Zhou Maoqi snorted: "Listen to my order, the whole army will attack and kill the Japanese together!"
Amid the roar of war drums, a group of Qing troops who were not trained rushed up. Zhou Maoqi's men and the Fujian Qing army instantly reached an army of ten thousand people in one round, and immediately stabilized their positions. More than a dozen other Qing troops also moved closer. The war entered the era of cold weapons and returned to hand-to-hand combat.
"Run! Kill!"
"Brothers! We can't embarrass the old Hunan Army! Kill me!"
"Brothers, take more Japanese heads and everyone will make contributions!"
"Run! Kill!"
The commanders of each team ordered almost at the same time, and their fighting spirit was very high.
In the close melee, the Qing army was wearing cloth armor and many local foreign troops were dressed by ordinary people, and the Japanese were all in modern military uniforms.
