Chapter 107: First on the battlefield (1)

After the dispatch of war, Du Xinyuan and others were sent away. Zhu Hongzhang called Li Peiqian and others into his office alone. This was originally the west wing room before the main hall of Wude Temple. Now Zhang Yunlan has been arranged as the command center of his first army commander. "Do you all hear Du Xinyuan's words?"

"I heard it." Li Dengchi said, "Old Xier is really not a thing. She even wants to divide her troops to go with us. Isn't this obvious despise us? It's just fucking!"

Li Lian smiled and shook his head, "It's no wonder," he said, "The soldiers in Jin and Shandong provinces have made real military achievements, but we have never even fought once. The only one is Zhao Yongfeng, a subordinate of Hu Damao. Is that a war? After firing a few shots, all Saitan City abandoned their weapons and surrendered."

"What Zhongliang said is that being a soldier is useless to say so much. He still has to rely on military merits and to kill the enemy on the battlefield. This time, I sent you a few people to Pingtian Sandi to see. The brothers from the green camp in the three provinces outside the pass are definitely not vegetarians!" Zhu Hongzhang frowned and his eyes shone, "I tell you, if anyone loses my people, Zhang Yunlan has the capital to say strange words, I recognize him, but the military law will not be recognized! At that time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Everyone was naturally ordered to be honest, and Li Lian asked again, "Master, you can't just let Zhang Yunlan ride on the Master to shit. You are the commander of the Northern Army granted by the Emperor. Li Shaoquan is not there. You are the lord of the army. How can you get such an extra guy? At that time,..."

"This matter is right, I'll talk about it after you resolve the battle in Hirata and other places!" Zhu Hongzhang said with a sneer, "Junlan can just recognize the color, otherwise, I won't blame me!"

Li Peiqian and his friends liked it: they are both military robes and the same person's jurisdiction. Many of Zhang Yunlan's actions are extremely dissatisfied! Seeing that the general is harsh at the moment, I think he has tolerated him to the extreme! If he dares to speak disrespectfully, he is afraid that the general will have an attack on the spot, which is not far away, right? Unfortunately, he wants to lead his troops and cannot see him with his own eyes.

More than a dozen people left and were ready to rest. Zhu Hongzhang sat in the wing room for a long time and heard someone outside, "Master, I am humble to be in harmony with you."

"Come in."

Yu He pushed the door open, and there were two petite Japanese women following him. They were not over twenty years old and were born with skinny skinny. If it weren't for the fallen horse bun piled up on their heads and the kimono on their bodies, they would have thought they were a boy. They held cups, bowls and plates in their hands. It seemed that they were here to serve their meals. "Sir, it's time to eat."

Yu He said, turned around and said a few words to the two Japanese women. The two women put down the tray and knelt down, "You can speak Japanese?" Zhu Hongzhang asked him curiously.

"Yes. To be honest, the general is originally a general translator in the army. After Zhang Junmen stopped in the temple, he specially arranged the general translator here to be here in order to worry about his speech. While serving as a general translator, he taught Japanese servants to learn simple Chinese."

"Oh! I remembered that you are Yu He, who was attacking the enemy camp at night with Cheng Junmen, aren't you?"

Yu He laughed, "This, what the general said is, what the Huyi did was just a general translator. If you were to kill the enemy in battle, it was still done by the soldiers of Chengjun and his subordinates. Huyi would never dare to make a contribution."

"I have heard people talk about you, it's not simple! A scholar,..." Zhu Hongzhang changed the topic and asked again, "As far as I know, you were the only one who was unscathed in that raid on the enemy camp, right?"

"The difficult things were done by the military and all the brothers. The humble position was protected by them strictly, so they survived by chance."

Zhu Hongzhang nodded, glanced at the two kneeling women in front of him, and asked Yu He with his eyes, "Sir, these are two of the Japanese servants left in the temple. They are dedicated to serving adults' daily life. They will speak a few Chinese words. If you have anything to do, just ask them to do it."

Zhu Hongzhang's heart moved. It was obvious that Zhang Yunlan arranged these two people to come to his room because he knew what he did in Russia back then. However..., the times change, such things are still not good. "I don't need these, let them go?"

Yu He was stunned, thinking that Zhu Hongzhang was not understanding the meaning of it. He was about to speak, but he saw that he looked solemn and didn't seem to be fake. He waved his hand and said a few words in Japanese. The two women looked up in surprise, looked at Zhu Hongzhang, got up from the ground, and retreated respectfully.

"Are there many such women in this temple?"

"There are always forty or fifty people." Yu He said, "In fact, you have worked hard to fight, and you will be happy to add fragrance to the red sleeves..." He saw that the general looked unwilling, and he dared not say anything below.

Zhu Hongzhang was secretly angry. The battle had not been fought many times, but the enjoyment of this kind of romantic event began in a hurry? Zhang Yunlan was really a completely unintelligent person! "Does anyone like me refuse to accept it?"

"There are only three people, Zhang Wenming, the sixth battalion manager, and Zhou Cheng, who is recently appointed as the deputy manager of the eighth battalion manager, and others are served."

"Okay, I understand." Zhu Hongzhang knew it well and stopped asking, "You go down first, and I will call you when there is something wrong. Oh, wait until Zhang Junmen comes back and let him come to my room."

Wulonga, Xiukun, Yongming'er, and Lu Chuishen each sent soldiers to assemble and headed towards the Asahi. The distance from Hegang Mansion is 300 kilometers. In addition to the soldiers and the Japanese people brought out from Hegang Mansion, there are also Toshima and Translators, with more than 4,000 people.

The road was rugged and difficult to move forward. Fortunately, the purpose of the battle was not clear this time, so there was no heavy equipment to carry. The Japanese civilians were pushing an empty cart with them. It was not very hard to say, and there was nothing to say on the road. On the morning of the fourth day, the scouts who were visiting the Qing army had already seen the scenery in Asahi Prefecture.

There were almost no people in the city. The mist in the morning enveloped the city, and the surroundings were quiet. Occasionally, the sound of chickens and dogs barking came. Everything was so quiet and peaceful. This atmosphere even infected the Qing army soldiers and screamed for the people in the city for no reason. "It's a pity that they didn't know that their good days were coming to an end!"

"Stop talking nonsense." The leader was a team leader named Zhang, who spat at the soldier, "Start here, if there is anything wrong, shoot and greet immediately! I will take people back and spread the word about several adults."

After a while, Wulonga was protected by the personal guards and looked into the city with a telescope, "When is it now?"

"If you go back to the master, it's already past Chen time."

Wu Long held his cheeks and thought seriously. At this time, people should be in the city. There are no deserted people, and no one is there? "Guo Zheng Zhang? Take your people into the city, be careful to inquire. If there is any abnormality, withdraw immediately."

"Yes." Team Zhang was leading the scout team away from the main road and into the city. Wu Longa used a telescope to follow the soldiers' footsteps seriously. Although it was slow, it seemed very safe. Suddenly, in his sight, a light flashed in a hidden place at the intersection where the scout team was about to pass!

Wu Long Ah secretly shouted, "Brothers, rush into the city with me."

Before the team could take action, the wind brought a roar of bullets that were not clear, "Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da!"

"The battle started in the city!" The soldiers who heard the gunshots for the first time were not at all panic. The young face was filled with surprise and excitement. "Sir, are there Japanese people ambushing the city?"

"I don't know yet, so I'll talk about it after we go in." Wu Longa led the team forward and turned around and ordered, "Tell the brothers, you'll be cheered up. This is not a joke! You'll have to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns." Five hundred people rushed forward quickly, and the vanguard troops had entered the city. Behind them, Xiu Kun and the other three led their troops to follow.

When they rushed to the battlefield where the guns were ringing, the battle was over. The bullets were scratching the head, and the hat was knocked away, and a blood groove was cut on the top of his head. The soldiers in the team were bandaging his wounds. When they heard the sound, they hurriedly stood up, "Sir?"

"What's going on? Where is the enemy? Where is the troops and how many people are there?"

"They look at their uniforms. They don't look like the regular Japanese combat troops. They may be the police force in Asahi City. They exchanged fire with us, threw down a few words of bodies, and ran away."

"What about brothers? How about casualties?"

"Six brothers were injured and three died in battle."

On the side of the street surrounded by Qing soldiers who followed, there was the scene after the battle. More than a dozen Japanese corpses were piled up in front of them. The blood flowing out of their bodies dyed the land under them brightly red. The air was filled with bloody smell, making people feel heart-bumped: Is this the real battle? The soldiers looked at the scene in front of them with their own different moods, and felt that the original passion and blood in their chests dissolved quickly like a snowman who encountered a fever!

"Shuangcheng, what do you say?" Wu Longa looked back at the soldiers who had already deployed their defense and said to Xiukun.

"It's okay to say that the Japanese are ambushing in the city, but I don't think there are many people and their combat power is limited. While it's still early, they will kill them all and resolve the battle as soon as possible!"

"Okay." Wu Long'a made a quick decision, "Shiyong? You and Zhihai lead their respective teams and follow me. Shuangcheng, you will lead people to stay behind, gather the people in the city as much as possible, and let them take their own houses and grains and rice, and wait to go back with us."

"You guys be careful."

"I didn't say anything." Wu Long'a waved his hand, "Brothers, set off!"
