Chapter 81 Complete annihilation?
At four o'clock in the morning, all the troops had arrived at the scheduled ambush point and were only waiting for the Japanese troops to enter.
"Report to the Emperor, this is the latest battle situation." The correspondent handed over the information.
There were 5,000 soldiers in the infantry camp. Many soldiers knew that they might fight, but they didn't know that the enemy was the Japanese army. They had just traded fire and were almost defeated at once, and were defeated by the Japanese side.
The scene was in chaos, and many soldiers threw down their equipment and ran away with their heads, regardless of the war.
According to statistics after the retreat, there were only less than two thousand men left in the five thousand, of course, including some scattered ones, but the Japanese side could be said to be unharmed and tightly grasped the infantry and military camps, preparing to capture them all in one fell swoop.
"What you want is this effect. Report the latest progress immediately." Tongzhi said.
It seems that everything is not out of my own guess.
Three hours later, the infantry barracks were completely destroyed, and hundreds of remaining people successfully entered the area under the leadership of Prince Chun.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has fulfilled his mission!" Prince Chun shouted loudly, his body covered in scars and his armor was already incomplete. With the support of his soldiers, he came to the camp gate tremblingly.
"Thank you for your hard work, I will never treat you badly." Tongzhi winked at the service staff around him: "Why don't you take Prince Chun down to rest."
After the personnel left, Tongzhi looked at Tiexan and Yang Bo: "Yu'er has taken the bait and is ready to take action."
"The reconnaissance company has set out and all units are ready. Yang Bo is closely observing the movements of the Japanese army and launching an attack immediately when the time comes." Tie San reported.
"Don't let a Japanese go, be sure to wipe out all of them here. If you want to fight, you have to fight to death. If you are afraid of hitting it, you will be afraid of it." Tongzhi's eyes became cold.
If we talk about it in modern times, Japan must have occupied the first place among the most annoying countries, and the sins of history will never be washed away.
"Yes" Tie San showed his firm eyes, saluted Tongzhi, turned around and left, and rushed to the front line.
"I will accompany you later." Tongzhi called Tie San to stop, put down the map in his hand, and asked someone to get his own matchmaking gun.
Tie San hesitated for a moment and said, "Emperor, the front line is too dangerous, and the dragon body is still important. The emperor only needs to wait for news. If the Japanese army is not wiped out, the last general will come to see you."
"I must follow the army's first war." Tongzhi smiled, and saw what Tie San wanted to say, waved his hand: "No need to say it, let's go."
Tie San looked at Tongzhi's back with complexity, sighed, and said to the guards beside him: "You all go to protect the emperor. If something happens, I will apologize for death, and you don't want to live."

The ambush was originally set up in a canyon, but strictly speaking, there are mountains on both sides, with a passage between them, a little more than one kilometer long and a width of about two hundred meters, which is still very suitable for ambushing.
At night, a few stars were still flashing in the sky, and Qimingxing began to rise gradually. Tongzhi stood on the top of the mountain in the middle and looked into the distance. The stars of fire became brighter and brighter, and finally formed a continuous team, shuttled between the mountains and extremely bright in the quiet mountains...
"Here, this is the Japanese combat troops. When they all enter the canyon and launch an attack." Tongzhi couldn't help but feel excited as he looked at the Japanese army getting closer and closer.
Finally, seeing the last flame step in, Tongzhi picked up his gun and pulled the trigger.
"Bang", the gunshots were crisp and dull, echoing in the valley in the quiet night.
"Boom boom boom", at one end of the valley, the artillery battalion had been waiting for it, and for a long time, at the moment when the gunshots, they poured ammunition into the canyon like a beast, and the fire suddenly surged into the sky, and the sound of cannons was mixed with crying and shouting.
After a volley, at the end of the canyon, the gunfire sounds of the second artillery battalion and the first battalion stopped and quickly filled up. In the night when the calm had just returned to peace, the gunfire sounded again.
After repeated bombardment, the infantry battalions on both sides rushed into the battlefield in stages according to the plan. Before the Japanese army could recover from the overwhelming bombardment, they were greeted by the rain of bullets.
Some of the Japanese troops at the end of the team dodged guns and were ready to retreat, but they had just escaped outside the ambush circle and had no time to rest, and were just met by the reconnaissance company who had returned from completing the mission.
It can be imagined that the three thousand Japanese troops, the troops involved in the pursuit of infantry camp, suffered almost all losses in this battle.
······
"Master, this battle is so beautiful." Tie San couldn't hide his joy in his heart. As the battle had just ended, he came to Tongzhi and smiled.
"Yes, the emperor, I thought the Japanese army was so awesome. It wasn't the same with two shoulders and one head, and we beat them up for no return." Yang Bo was also very excited. He could achieve such a great victory by leading troops for the first time.
"It's indeed a good fight. Let the troops withdraw from the battlefield and return to the Tailiang Mountains." Tongzhi frowned.
"Your Majesty, why is this? Shouldn't you clean the battlefield and celebrate the victory?" Tie San said in confusion. The few people next to him were unsolved and looked at Tongzhi.
For some reason, Tongzhi felt that this was too simple. The uneasiness in his heart was extremely intense at this time, and his head began to get a little drowsy, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Execute the order, go back and say it." Tongzhi rubbed his temples and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes", although the emperor did not say why, Tie San and others still smelled a strange breath, dispersed themselves, summoned troops, and prepared to retreat.
