When he arrived at the station, he found that Hei Niu had been waiting for a long time. Zhao Gang was stunned and asked everyone behind him to leave first. After entering the door, he said cordially to Hei Niu:

"Black Bull, what's the matter?"

Hei Niu handed over a telegram, which said

"The Dongxue Party has collusion with Japan."

Looking at the date in the lower right corner, it was yesterday. Zhao Gang stood up and ordered, "Call the staff of the staff immediately to report."

Ten minutes later, all the staff members arrived, and the huge map of North Korea (originally the Japanese spy Suo Luo, but was later seized by Zhao Gang.) was hung on the wall. Several staff members marked the Japanese army's numbers clearly with small flags, and Jeolladao's sphere of influence was also marked one by one.

The situation is very clear. The two teams have formed a huge encirclement circle, and Pyongyang is just inside the encirclement circle.

Zhao Gang stood up and ordered the staff, "The army of Pingkou stopped resting and gathered lightly immediately. The entire army must arrive in Dandong at noon tomorrow."

He turned around and ordered Hei Niu: "Go and tell the North Korean bastard that he would pay for cannons, shells, and guns and ammunition. Bullets cost 2 cents a round, shells cost 100 cents a round, guns cost 1 taels a pair of silver, and guns cost 800 cents a pair of 10 taels a pair of bad cannons, and guns cost 10 taels a pair of bad cannons, and guns cost 10 taels a pair of bad to 50 taels a pair of bad.”

At this time, North Korea had already fought hard. After the Japanese First Brigade failed to attack, more than 30,000 troops joined one after another, bringing the total number to 50,000. Although the Qing army had 11,000 more than in history, the Japanese army also had more than 10,000 more people, and the Qing army was still at a disadvantage in terms of number. On May 19, the north gate of Pyongyang was lost, and more than 30,000 Qing soldiers rushed to escape at night, but were chased by the Japanese army, killing and injured more than 4,000 people.

In the dark night, the road from Pyongyang to Dandong was full of defeated soldiers from the Qing Dynasty. Although these people were elite soldiers of the Huai Army, they did not lack combat effectiveness compared to their opponents. However, the main general Ye Zhichao took the lead in escaping, causing this elite soldier to lose his will to fight and to collapse thousands of miles away.

The cold moon shone in his body and the breeze blew his face. Wu Junsheng led his two thousand cavalry to gallop wildly (7,000 of the original 9,000 troops had been bribed by Yuan Shikai, and only these two thousand cavalry were still controlled by him because most of them were their confidants). This time, Wu Junsheng relied on the fast speed of the cavalry and ran out in an instant, without much loss. The others should not be so lucky.

Along the way, some Koreans were ambushing the roadside and fired cold guns, and Wu Junsheng did not dare to stop. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops followed behind like dogs, and they would not get rid of them easily if they bite them. If the high-ranking official named Nie Shicheng had not blocked some of the enemies, most of the Qing army would have to be buried in Pyongyang.

After running for a while, Wu Junsheng's head gradually became clear and slowly stopped the horse and restrained his subordinates. Looking forward with the moonlight, there was a wide woodland in front of him, with a familiar feeling. Once upon a time, he and that person were as close as brothers, and they were ambushing the bandits by the road. Wu Junsheng shook his head and threw these absurd things out of his mind. Now is not the time to think about this, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Go."

After walking for a while, a team of black clothes appeared opposite. Under the bright moonlight, the guns were shining with cold light. The black army had obviously discovered Wu Junsheng, arranged neatly, as if accepting it.

Wu Junsheng's eyes flashed and seemed a little surprised and excited. The personal soldiers around him were also whispering. Although the black-clothed army opposite was silent, the slightly trembling bayonet exposed their excitement.

After the two teams confronted each other for a while, the black-clothed army dodged half of the road, and Wu Junsheng and his men quickly passed through the half-round road. The soldiers on both sides did not speak. Once upon a time, they practiced in the same playground and had a meal in the same pot.

Brothers! When did you become so strange and so cold that even the blood in your chest is no longer hot?

Wu Junsheng felt a stone stuck in his heart, and screamed in anger, his voice shrill like a wolf howling. After finally passing through the long platoon of soldiers, his eyes suddenly lit up. There was a threshing farm here, which was still empty. In the middle of the threshing farm, a man rode a black horse standing alone in the center. Compared to half a year ago, this face was a little less immature, a little more mature and domineering.

As if he was possessed by a demon, Wu Junsheng couldn't help but approach the man, and the two were getting closer and closer. Wu Junsheng felt very peaceful, and the sin he was carrying made him unable to sleep, and he felt so happy that he would be happy all the time.

The two of them were in a wrong shape and were very close to each other. Wu Junsheng was relieved to see that the young man had grown taller again.

The two were speechless. After a while, Wu Junsheng pulled out his sabre, turned the hilt backwards, and handed it to the young man: "Buried me in my hometown in Kaoshantun, tell my mother that I died at the hands of a little Japanese, and these brothers will be handed over to you."

The sword light was as bright as snow under the moonlight. The young man did not take the knife and hugged Wu Junsheng suddenly: "Brother!"

The commander of the 10th Japanese Brigade brigade immediately saw that Shangwen was leading his subordinates to march quickly, and he ignored all the scattered enemies he encountered along the way. As long as he rushed to the Yalu River first, the remaining Qing army would become a turtle in the jar. As for the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, Shangwen immediately understood that he was not inferior in individual combat, but the use of artillery was not as good as his own army. Once these soldiers fled back and were accompanied by artillery, it would become a nightmare for the imperial army.

The marching of 100 miles a day and night was also a terrible marching intensity for the powerful 10th Brigade. Looking at the sleepy soldiers, Shangwen finally ordered "rest for two hours, set off immediately after two hours, and search for the scouts within 10 miles."

After the military order, the soldiers lay down on the road and fell asleep sweetly. I saw that Naomoto's eyes were wet. I prepared at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. After sixteen hours of bloody battle, I opened the Pyongyang city gate. After only two hours of rest, I was ordered to pursue the Qing army lightly. Within ten hours, I marched 100 miles in marches. No army in the world could do it. So, Senior Aitomo of Yama Prefecture gave himself the important task, not to the idiot Nogi who kept shouting slogans.

Although he was very tired, he immediately saw that Shangwen was still unwilling to sleep. As a leader, he should suffer more and set an example for his subordinates, so that his subordinates would not be afraid of hardships and move forward bravely. If he was as greedy as his colleagues in the Qing Dynasty, his subordinates would be as timid as mice.

This was the last thought of Shangwen, who shot 8.0mm from 1,200 meters and entered the back of his head and penetrated his forehead. Shangwen fell to the ground immediately.

The guards next to him hurriedly started first aid, but anyone could see that this was useless. He immediately saw that Shangwen's pupils had dilated and death came so quickly, and he immediately saw that Shangwen had no time to even designate the brigade commander.

The sudden disaster caused the 10th Brigade to fall into chaos. The three regiment captains had different opinions. Two regiment captains advocated continuing to move forward, one advocated retreat, and finally decided to catch the murderer first.

After three hours of search, the exhausted 10th Brigade did not catch the murderer, and the fatigue caused by continuous combat made the army stagger forward. It immediately realized that Shangwen was too outstanding and became a disadvantage at this time. After his death, no one could become the spiritual leader of the 10th Brigade and lead the soldiers to exert their strength beyond ordinary times.

After moving forward slowly for ten miles, the formation became very loose and extremely bad situations occurred. A small group of soldiers fell down in a series, and fatigue conquered these warriors unstoppable.

As a last resort, the three corps captains ordered to "rest on the spot", and most of the soldiers of the 10th Brigade were paved on the road again.

An hour later, most of the people in the 10th Brigade entered a deep dream, and only a few of them were still on guard. These people were the eyes of the army to prevent the army from being accidentally injured.

Suddenly, several gunshots came three miles away, and then three red signal flares (most urgent) rose.

Almost a subconscious reaction, all the soldiers of the 10th Brigade woke up, and at this time, the three regiment captains had different opinions. While the three parties were quarreling with each other, a brigade of cavalry appeared opposite, and the 10th Brigade was forced to shrink and enter a defensive state.

After a moment, a shocking cheer broke out from the opposite side. The cavalry of the brigade turned his horse's head and ran back with Ma Xiaobu. The dense infantry appeared. Then, more than a dozen shells flew out from behind the infantry positions and exploded at the 10th Brigade position. Although there was no large casualties, it still put huge pressure on the Japanese army. The three regiment captains once again made the opposite order "retreat!", "attack" and "defense".

The 10th Brigade was completely in chaos, and this chaos finally caused great consequences. The artillery position on the opposite side was called a command.

"All artillery fires in one minute."

Within one minute, more than 1,500 75mm caliber shells fell on the head of the 10th Brigade, killing 2,600 people, injured 3,300 people, and 7,800 brigades were beaten to lose most of their combat effectiveness.

The casualties of officers were even higher. All three corps captains were killed, and seven were killed in the brigade and one seriously injured (this time, a leader of the 10th Brigade was finally given, although there was no need to take the lead), and the remaining soldiers began to charge with all their bets.

In the past, this kind of charge was invincible. Even the brave Qing soldiers were frightened when they saw the attack on the hand and blade. The record of winning the Qing army repeatedly supported these tired soldiers.

The dense bullets along the way and the shrapnel flying across the road knocked down countless Japanese soldiers, but these could not scare the soldiers of the 10th Brigade. After paying a very painful price, the vanguard of the 10th Brigade finally contacted the black army opposite. Two huge black currents collided violently, causing countless blood. Hundreds of people in front of the two armies were almost immediately killed. The second group of soldiers did not have time to think about and continue the desperate battle.

The storm of the shore, stirring up thousands of blood. In just a moment, more than 1,000 people fell down. Zhao Gang felt extremely distressed and helpless, shouted "Come with me" and rushed to the battlefield with his personal guards.

Entering the battlefield, Zhao Gang felt the cruelty of hand-to-hand combat. He was in front of him with the enemy's bright bayonets. He didn't know that those that would end his life. The only thing he could trust was the bayonets in his hand.

A Japanese man rushed over and met Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang roared and stabbed him directly. The short man took a step back slightly, and at the same time he swung his rifle violently. In a moment, he stepped forward and stabbed Zhao Gang in the chest.

The Japanese thought that they would stab Zhao Gang in the opposite direction, but unexpectedly, Zhao Gang jumped back quickly, and the Japanese bayonet fell to nothing, and the man leaned forward. The personal guard on the side easily stabbed the bayonet into the Japanese ribs. No matter how strong a strong hand was on the battlefield, it was not as good as the team's cooperation. Zhao Gang and others pierced into the Japanese army's weak defense like an awl.

In just a few dozen meters, Zhao Gang was injured many times, and many personal guards were killed and injured, and the guns in his hand became heavier and heavier. However, Zhao Gang and others were still moving forward, and their opponents were weaker and weaker and fewer. Suddenly, Zhao Gang found that there was not a single Japanese soldier in front of him.

It should be said that Japan's assassination skills are still very strong, but fatigue has reduced their strength. However, the strength of the opposite army is the main reason for their defeat. After Zhao Gang penetrated the Japanese position, the Japanese army collapsed. A large number of Japanese soldiers made horrific screams, leaving their backs to the enemy, leaving them to the brigade of cavalry waiting for their work.

This battle history is called the Battle of Blood Ridge. The 10th Brigade immediately saw that 7,800 people below the commander of the Shangwen brigade were wiped out. Zhao Gang's troops also paid the heavy price of 1,100 deaths and 2,300 injuries, and were forced to undergo a brief renovation.

At this time, most of the defeated Qing Dynasty troops had retreated to Zhao Gang's camp and were incorporated by Zhao Gang. From the defeated soldiers, they learned from the defeated soldiers that "Yuan Shikai was hit by stray bullets and died."

Zhao Gang sighed when he heard this. He had no malice towards Yuan Shikai. On the contrary, he had a certain curiosity about this future strongman. He did not expect that he would die in the chaos, which was really bad luck.

Two days later, facing the large Japanese army rolling in, Zhao Gang led his troops (more than 3,000 people) to repel the ninth, sixth, and the second brigade's rampage with a huge spinning offensive. He hit the wings of the Japanese army with an extremely disparity in troops (the number is about 1:8). Within three days, the Japanese army originally heading north were defeated one after another and escaped the Han River in a disorderly manner. Then Zhao Gang led the cavalry to rush into a hundred miles, pretending to attack Seoul. The Japanese army was shocked and the entire army returned to Seoul. Zhao Gang took the opportunity to ambush the 7th Brigade of Aid Japan, killed the brigade commander Nie Kuanjiro, and rescued the trapped Nie Shicheng's troops.

However, in the confrontation with the Japanese army, Zhao Gang's troops suffered heavy losses, and the five thousand pacified troops suffered casualties. They had to retreat to Dandong with nearly 30,000 defeated soldiers who were exhausted.

Of course, before leaving, Zhao Gang did something, something that made the North Koreans unforgettable.

"My fellow villagers, we are warriors of the 10th Japanese Brigade who resisted the Qing Dynasty and aided Korea. In order to make your country prosperous and strong, we travel thousands of miles to attack the Qing Dynasty."

"Of course, we are here so far, you should support us. We are all easy to pass on. Just hand over all the valuable things and most of the food."

"What, that uncle didn't mean it. OK, let him talk to the bayonet. If it is explained clearly, you don't have to pay the money. What, uncle, you understand, and you are willing to hand over all your property to support the Imperial Army. Look! It's really embarrassing us. Did the Imperial Army come for this little wealth? For your tears, I had to barely collect it. In addition, there is another 5 kilograms of sorghum to give it back to you, which is not considered the money."

"Wait, the Imperial Army will not receive your things in vain, I will give this to you."

The military tickets carried by the 10th Brigade (only for use by China and North Korea and cannot be used for tax payment) were used to collect most of North Korea's gold, silver and grain, leaving it to Japan with a famine and a poor North Korea.

On June 2, Zhao Gang led more than 20,000 miscellaneous troops back to Dandong in a mighty manner. The 150,000 tons of grain, 260,000 taels of gold, 4.7 million taels of silver and valuables worth more than 2 million taels of silver that they "purchased" in advance have been transported to the base camp-Benxi Arsenal.
