Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Chen Zhaochang quickly explained: "There is no intention to start a war..."

Wu Luzhen interrupted him: "This is the territory of the Qing Dynasty. You have crossed the border brazenly and violated the principle of peace between the two countries. Our Beiyang Army is the army of the Qing Dynasty. Do we need to report to you Japanese somewhere?" "

The Japanese soldier's expression froze and he was speechless.

Wu Luzhen turned her head, looked around at the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army behind her, and said proudly: "There is not a single coward among the soldiers present today. If you Japanese army want to start a war, Wu has nothing to fear!"

After hearing what he said, the people behind became commotion, eager to try.

When a soldier is raging, a general will be raging, and vice versa.

The Japanese soldier's face changed slightly, and it was his turn to explain: "We are just here to suppress bandits, and have no intention of starting a war with the Qing Dynasty."

Chen Zhaochang was a little confused.

Things were not quite what he thought.

Wu Luzhen glared at the Japanese soldier: "Since you don't want to start a war, what the hell are you doing to show off your power with me? Go back and tell Saito Kijiro that Wu has a duty to defend the country, and I will be here today to watch how you suppress the bandits." "

The Japanese soldier was sweating coldly and bowed slightly: "Sorry, I was rude."

The officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army felt particularly relieved when they saw this.

At this time, they were convinced by Wu Luzhen.

I'm afraid that even if Xu Shichang were present, he wouldn't be more domineering than him.

But the Japanese soldier said: "Counsellor Wu, please use the telescope to look ten miles behind our first brigade."

Wu Luzhen frowned, but still raised the telescope hanging around his neck and looked behind him.

At this sight, he took a breath.

It turned out that behind the Japanese army, there was another brigade hanging far away.

Although the Japanese soldier's attitude was much more respectful, his gaze remained unyielding. He pressed Wu Luzhen and said: "In order to prevent accidents, we have brought two groups of troops today. We will attack the rebels in the front and guard against the intervention of other forces in the back."

The other force is naturally the Beiyang Army.

Wu Luzhen pinched her cheeks, put down the telescope, and gritted her teeth and said: "Very good! It just so happened that Wu also brought a number of troops today. You go back and tell Saito Kijiro that we will work with him to prevent accidents. Raising troops for a thousand days, using them for a while .Commanders, is there anyone who is afraid of the battle and shrinks back today?"

"no!"

The Beiyang troops behind them roared together, full of energy.

The Japanese soldier's cheek muscles trembled, he bent down again, then turned around and left.

Chen Zhaochang was worried: "Will this anger the Japanese?"

"I don't know if it will anger them. Anyway, I am very angry now!"

Wu Luzhen put her hand on the handle of the command knife and said coldly: "If Kijiro Saito wants to fight, then Wu will accompany him to the end today!"

"You..." Chen Zhaochang was shocked: "In this case, how can you go back and explain to Governor Xu?"

"The governor has given Wu the power to make decisions on the spot. Wu will be responsible for all the consequences and Mr. Chen will not be in trouble!"

"The trouble that Zhao Chuanxin caused is so unreasonable that he should be allowed to wade into troubled waters. Just wait, the court will not let him continue to cause trouble."

Wu Luzhen was noncommittal: "Haha, the court? Prince Qing or the Queen Mother? Or the Regent?"

Chen Zhaochang was stunned when he stroked him like this.

I, Cao... Prince Qing and his son were kept submissive by Zhao Chuanxin, and the Queen Mother was so frightened by him that she jumped out of the window. It was a great shame and humiliation in the history of her power.

Only the regent Aixinjueluo Zaifeng currently has no direct conflict with Zhao Chuanxin.

However, Chen Zhaochang felt that as long as Zaifeng dared to say that he wanted to punish Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin might dare to go to the capital to bombard the regent.

Chen Zhaochang stopped talking.

When Wu Luzhen saw this, a trace of sarcasm appeared on her lips.

That's it?

What are you talking about here?

The two were talking when suddenly there was a sound of cannon fire below.

It's war!

Wu Luzhen saw an artillery shell explode on the left side of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army immediately set up their formation, loaded the artillery shells, and fired towards the opposite side.

Both sides began a long-range artillery fire.

Wu Luzhen and Chen Zhao often took binoculars and stared at the battlefield.

He muttered: "I heard that the fighting ability of the rebel army is not very good. What if they are defeated in one attack?"

"Just watch." Wu Luzhen said. "Then Liu Shanzi has expanded the rebel army to 1000 people, so it should not be so easy to defeat."

It’s just that I don’t feel confident enough to say this.

The previous performance of the rebel army was not very good.

But while fighting, the two were surprised to find that the Japanese troops were retreating.

"This..." Chen Zhaochang was confused. "What happened? Why did the Japanese troops suddenly retreat?"

Wu Luzhen explained to him: "The Backwater Army chose Laoyinggou to garrison because of the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain. The Backwater Army waited and waited, while the Japanese artillery positions were completely exposed. In addition, although the Backwater Army's cannons should have a small caliber, their number was There were multiple, simultaneous bombings from multiple directions, and the Japanese army had no trenches to cover, so it was not surprising to retreat.”

From the beginning of the war, it was far beyond the two people's expectations.

The rebels who had had small-scale conflicts with the Japanese army before and were beaten on the ground turned out to be so sharp this time.

Wu Luzhen thought: Are all their soldiers artillery?

He was right. The Lugang Town Insurance Team had always looked down upon the rebels.

However, Zhao Chuanxin equipped the rebel army with a large number of 75-caliber field guns and mountain guns, all of which were Krupp. A lot of time is spent practicing artillery, regardless of the cost of ammunition.

It was of no use before, but today it is the real show.

The Japanese army retreated in embarrassment. They also did not expect the artillery of the rebel army to give them a head-on blow as soon as they made contact.

Moreover, Saito Kijiro discovered that the number of artillery of his own troops was far less than that of the rebel army.

He withdrew in disgrace.

When passing Wu Luzhen's troops on the hillside, he glanced this way.

Wu Luzhen sneered: "That's good now, let him show off his power with me again!"

On the other side, Liu Yonghe looked excited: "Good fight! I have enough meat tubes for extra food today!"

There were cheers from the artillery.

Ge Yunpeng stood beside a Krupp cannon and said to his companions: "I just hit the Japanese position, isn't it awesome?"

"What a cool guy, I hit a lot of them."

"Fuck, what do you know? According to Captain Zhao, I hit the tenth ring. If Mr. Zhao were here, maybe he would reward me with another horse card beater. That thing is called exciting!"

"Mr. Zhao's canned pudding is so delicious. I would rather have a hundred cans."

"What are you thinking? The Japanese have withdrawn temporarily, but I guess they will bring more people over."

"What are you afraid of? Damn it, we have plenty of artillery shells. We will blast him for ten days and ten nights."

Ge Yunpeng shook his head and was not so optimistic: "The little devil has a large-caliber mountain cannon, and it will not be so easy to shoot it by then."

Ge Yunpeng was right. Saito Kijiro directly moved the brigade behind to defend the Beiyang Army to the front line.
