The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Wu Luzhen camped on the western hillside last night and waited from dark to early morning, waiting for today's battle.

When the Japanese army paid a heavy price and entered Laoyinggou after leaving a mountain of corpses, the decline of the rebel army was already evident.

Chen Zhaochang shook his head: "When the Japanese army reaches the camp of the rebel army, the rebel army will have no choice but to withdraw to the back mountain."

Wu Luzhen wished she could lead the team at this time and stab the Japanese from behind.

But he couldn't do that.

At this time, he hated coercing the Qing court even more.

Interestingly, although the foreign powers broke the Qing court's isolation, they also delayed the Qing court's demise.

As Wu Luzhen watched the battlefield situation, many thoughts ran through her mind.

At this moment, a vigilant Beiyang soldier suddenly came to report: "Counsellor, a group of unknown people appeared on the southwest path."

Wu Luzhen had no reaction, but Chen Zhaochang jumped to his feet: "Is it the Japanese army?"

People who side with Cixi usually have sensitive and slender nerves, and their fear of foreign powers runs deep into their bones.

He was afraid that the Japanese army would have a backstop and outflank them from behind.

"Master Chen, he is not a Japanese soldier. Judging from his attire, he looks like... a stick."

Wu Luzhen asked: "How many thousands of people are there?"

"Well, there are less than a hundred people. But they have excellent weapons and look very tough."

Wu Luzhen and Chen Zhaochang were both confused.

At this time, the stick armed forces with less than a hundred people were still rushing into the battlefield. What were they doing?

"Go and explore again and put our troops on alert."

Could it be possible that what he and Saito Kijiro said during their heated exchange of words came to fruition?

Both sides said they wanted to prevent accidents, and it seemed that accidents had really come.

But there were less than a hundred people, so Wu Luzhen didn't take it seriously.

Not long after, the Beiyang soldier came back again with a strange look on his face: "Counsellor, this is Captain Zhao."

Chen Zhaochang suddenly turned his head and looked at the Beiyang soldiers.

Wu Luzhen's expression was very exciting: "Captain Zhao? Is that Captain Zhao?"

"Yes, it's Zhao Chuanxin from Guanwai. He asked to borrow something from you."

Wu Luzhen took off his military cap and straightened his flat hair. He didn't know why: "Why did he ask me to borrow it?"

Chen Zhaochang was very sensitive and immediately said nervously: "You want to borrow the army? That's impossible! How can you lend him a piece of grass when you are a great master?"

Wu Luzhen frowned but said nothing.

Chen Zhaochang was right, borrowing troops was impossible.

Let alone Cixi, even if Xu Shichang knew about this, it would be unforgivable.

"Captain Zhao only said he wanted to borrow something, but he never said what he wanted to borrow."

"Come on, take me there to meet you."

Chen Zhaochang was worried: "Let's go together."

In the entire Qing Dynasty, the person who liked to make trouble the most was Zhao Chuanxin.

Just like Zhang Rong who assassinated the five ministers, it was really nothing, it was not big news.

Zhao Chuanxin came excitedly.

In order to hide, he planned to take a small road.

As a result, they encountered the Beiyang Army on the western hillside.

The Beiyang Army that came here must have something to do with Wu Luzhen.

"Captain Zhao, you really don't stop." Wu Luzhen complained bitterly from a distance with her fists clasped in her hands.

Although Wu Luzhen was an undercover agent inserted into the Qing court by "that side".

But he has special feelings for Xu Shichang.

At first, Xu Shichang discovered that the Japanese were ambitious and felt that there was no one around him to help him.

He didn't even investigate Wu Luzhen's background, so he quickly transferred Wu Luzhen, who was sent by Sun Gongwu to serve as a cavalry supervisor in the Beiyang Army, out of the customs.

Even though Wu Luzhen was an undercover agent, she was still very grateful for this kindness.

Moreover, Xu Shichang was brave and resourceful, and was not as fearful of the sun as other Qing ministers.

What Zhao Chuanxin did in South Korea gave the Japanese an excuse to create problems for Cixi.

Cixi then made things difficult for Xu Shichang.

Xu Shichang put a lot of pressure on Wu Luzhen.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "Brother Shouqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so heroic. I really miss Zhao."

Li Xiangxi and Ning'an were very surprised.

To be praised so much by Zhao Chuanxin, who is this person in front of him?

Everyone knows how damaging Zhao Chuanxin's words are.

Wu Luzhen was a little uncomfortable.

You must ask for something from others.

Before he could speak, Chen Zhaochang, who was next to him, couldn't wait to step forward: "Zhao Chuanxin, I tell you that it is impossible to borrow troops. No matter how nice you say, it is still impossible."

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him in surprise: "I didn't praise you, why are you excited? I just miss Brother Shouqing. By the way, Brother Shouqing, who is this old man? He seems familiar."

Chen Zhaochang: "..."

The corners of his mouth had blistered in the past two days, and now his beard was trembling with anger.

Arrogant!

Wu Luzhen smiled bitterly: "Don't make trouble, who are these two people beside you?"

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at Li Xiangxi and said: "This is an important minister of South Korea, Li Xiangxi, who comes with a heavy responsibility. This little nun's Buddhist name is Ning'an, and she comes from the Lotus Temple in Gulujiling."

Ning An became anxious when he heard this: "Mr. Zhao, I am not a nun, nor am I a monk, I am just a layman..."

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "It's all the same, it's all the same."

Ning'an: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin then introduced Wu Luzhen to them: "I am an amazing old man. He determined to imitate Yue Fei when he was a child and vowed to serve the country with loyalty. He studied modern military affairs at the Hubei Armed Forces Academy, and later went to the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School to study the Army Cavalry Department. , was one of the first batch of non-commissioned officers in the Qing Dynasty. Together with Cai E and Jiang Baili, he was known as the three outstanding non-commissioned officers! He now lives under Xu Shichang and serves as the military counselor of three provinces, and he has won the trust of the court. His name is Wu Luzhen, whose courtesy name is Shouqing. Remember this name. Because it will definitely leave its name in history.”

Wu Luzhen was stunned.

Did Zhao Chuanxin know him so well?

He was embarrassed by the praise.

He was somewhat flattered to be praised by the God of War for his military prowess.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Chen Zhaochang again.

Chen Zhaochang was still looking forward to it, wondering how Zhao Chuanxin would praise him.

result,

Zhao Chuanxin said calmly: "As for who this old man is, I forgive my poor memory and don't remember."

Chen Zhao often jumps around.

This is really unreasonable!

Wu Luzhen hurriedly smoothed things over: "The rebel army is at war with the Japanese army. I see that the rebel army seems to be defeated by the Japanese army. Let's stop chatting. What do you want to borrow to pass on the salary?"

After being praised, Wu Luzhen said that Captain Zhao had become a salary passer, and he was obviously much closer to him.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the well-armed Beiyang troops: "Borrow some artillery shells for use. Are there any 75-caliber Krupp field artillery shells? Are there any bullets for the Maxim heavy machine gun?"

Wu Luzhen and Chen Zhaochang both breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not borrowing troops, that's fine.

Wu Luzhen frowned and said, "We have artillery shells, but we don't have Maxim's Mauser shells."

It cannot be said that the Beiyang Army does not pay attention to machine guns. It can only be said that they are too poor to use them.

Zhao Chuanxin said nonchalantly: "Hurry up and ask someone to get it. The more the merrier."

Chen Zhaochang said at this time: "Why should I lend it to you?"

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "Zhao always borrows things and returns them. When I kill these little Japanese, I will give you one of their artillery, and I will return the money with interest."

Chen Zhaochang stared.

Emotions are empty-handed, right?

Wu Luzhen was anxious, worried that the rebel army would be completely defeated, so she hurriedly said: "Go and ask the artillerymen to bring 75 Krupp field artillery shells. Well, here are twenty."

He felt that even if he took too much salary from Zhao Chuan, he would not be able to bring these people along.

After all, they didn't even have a horse.

"20? What's the use of 20? Give me 50 rounds!" Zhao Chuanxin said hurriedly.

Wu Luzhen was surprised: "Where are your artillery? Did you let these sticks...these soldiers hold the cannonballs to blow up the Japanese?"

Zhao Chuanxin's team consisted of only a few dozen people. They were well equipped with rifles, but they had no artillery at all.

"Yes, I invented a technique in South Korea called savage collision. It is to hold the artillery shell, hit the fuse manually, and die together with the Japanese. Let me tell you, it is very happy. I held the artillery shell myself and died. A lot of Japanese people.”

"..."

Believe it or not!

Wu Luzhen had to ask someone to carry 50 shells.

Chen Zhaochang suddenly asked: "Zhao Chuanxin, did you go to South Korea and get the map?"

Zhao Chuanxin patted his head: "I'm glad I forgot about this."

Wu Luzhen put her hand on her forehead: "Your main task when going to South Korea is to get a map. If you forget about this..."

After scoffing twice, Zhao Chuanxin turned around slightly, and no one saw him take out a large bundle of maps.

He stuffed the map into Wu Luzhen's arms: "Fortunately, I brought the map back to you. There are quite a few. You can go back and enjoy it slowly. By the way, since there is a map, these shells are not borrowed. Forget it. The funds for getting the map are ready. As for the bonus, I’ll settle the score with you after I finish cleaning up Saito Kikijiro’s bastard.”

Wu Luzhen and Chen Zhaochang: "..."

The two of them looked at a large bundle of maps of various periods of Korea in a daze.

Originally there was only one "Dadongyu Map", but now it's good, I brought back all the missing ones.

Wu Luzhen thought for a while and said, "I will report your map acquisition to Governor Xu. Governor Xu will report it to the court, and maybe the court can cancel the wanted order for you."

Zhao Chuanxin looked shocked: "What? I narrowly escaped death. I was almost besieged to death by the Japs in Gulujiling, and my life was hanging by a thread. It was so miserable, but the wanted order was just cancelled? Can't you give me some reward? For example, give me A governor-general?"

Chen Zhaochang was dumbfounded: "You still want the governor?"

Zhao Chuanxin took it for granted: "The governor is nothing, I still want to make a prince Dangdang. How majestic would it be to create a group of bannermen and take them back as slaves?"

"..."

This is the first time I heard a Han say that he would take his bannermen back to be slaves.

Strangely fresh.

While talking, boxes of cannonballs were brought over.

Zhao Chuanxin is actually quite anxious.

He listened to the sound of gunfire getting further and further away. It was obvious that the Japanese army was pressing forward step by step, while the enemy troops were retreating steadily.

I hope that old boy Liu Shanzi can hold on.

He waved his hand: "Everyone, stand back, I'm going to cast a spell!"

Wu Luzhen and Chen Zhaochang didn't know what he was going to do, so they had no choice but to retreat.

Zhao Chuanxin circled the boxes of shells and waved his sleeves. The ground was empty.

Chen Zhaochang and Wu Luzhen opened their mouths.

Is there really a magic?

Zhao Chuanxin did not give them a chance to ask questions. He stepped forward and patted Wu Luzhen on the shoulder: "Remember, go and claim credit for me, and advise Cixi, the old immortal, not to be ignorant of good and bad, and to be worthy of a prince."

Wu Luzhen smiled bitterly.

Then Zhao Chuanxin left Li Xiangxi here again: "Brother Shouqing, please help take care of me and warm the wine. When I come back from killing the enemy, let's have a drink."

Chen Zhaochang simply didn't know what to say.

I have never seen such a shameless person.

Zhao Chuanxin ordered: "Quan Shangqiu, take your people and go straight forward along the path on the west hillside. The barren meadow in front of you can block your figure and sneak up behind the Japanese army. Listen to the sound of my artillery, and I will If you fire artillery, the Japanese army will be in chaos. If the Japanese army is in chaos, you just shoot from behind."

Quan Sangqiu is the 33rd grandson of the Andong Kwon family in North Korea and comes from a famous family. In their family, there was a very famous star. However, there should be no direct blood relationship with Quan Shangqiu.

He had participated in the battle at Guluji Ridge before and was a small leader sent by Park Seung Yeol to lead the team.

Because Park Seung Yeol knows Zhao Chuanxin's style, he will definitely fight alone in a fight.

Quan Shangqiu nodded carefully and asked again: "Mr. Zhao, are we going to hold on and fight with them?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked at him as if he were a fool: "We, No. 60, tell me how to fight to the death? Of course we can only run away if we can't fight. Don't worry, if I take action, I estimate that the Japanese army will soon become chaotic, and you will Just cause trouble behind them."

Quan Shangqiu sneered: "I know."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Ning An again and said, "Please be more frightened and don't die here."

Ning An was moved for a moment. Although Mr. Zhao spoke freely, he still cared about him and worried about him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I won't die here."

Zhao Chuanxin ignored them, turned around and ran down the mountain.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he first put on his fortitude armor.

Then he found the body of a Japanese soldier and took off his uniform.

But once he put it on, the thin military uniform fit over his huge body, making him look like a retard.

Especially with the resolute armor underneath, the clothes look even smaller.

"Grass!"

Zhao Chuanxin took off his military uniform, went to pick up the corpse again, and found two pieces of clothing.

He took out the elf carving knife, opened the shoulder seam, cut the fabric on the other military uniform, took out the needle and thread, and sewed quickly with his fingers.

The Japanese military uniforms were sewn together like rag dolls, with scars all over them. Fortunately, the same color could be seen.

It was barely put on, and it looked a little interesting.

As for his pants, he didn't change them.

Wearing the Japanese soldier's military cap again.

At this time, the Japanese military uniforms were modeled after France, and the military caps were French flat caps, which were very wretched.

The Japanese imitate and learn from whoever is strong.

France used to be strong, so they studied like France.

However, after the Franco-Prussian War, France's performance was unsatisfactory. They saw that Germany was still stronger, so they began to learn from Germany in military terms.

However, changing military uniforms requires a lot of money, so for the time being, military uniforms are still French military uniforms.

After Zhao Chuanxin put on the hat, he felt a little strange.

You don't need to look in the mirror to know that you must look very wretched now.

He also took out a Type 30 rifle from the secret realm. From this look, apart from being too tall, it seemed a bit interesting.

He thought for a moment, then took out the scissors and cut off a strand of hair.

Then I took out the starch glue I bought while shopping at Lantern House, smeared it on my lips, and glued my hair on. Make the beard on your lips look thicker.

I took a look in the mirror and felt that my beard was too heavy, so I carefully shaved my face with the elf carving knife.

His face was much cleaner, except for the thick beard on his lips.

"Perfect!" Zhao Chuanxin straightened up and looked at the mirror: "Baga Yalu, Malu Yelang, あほう..."

very satisfied.

He held thirty poses and trotted forward.

…

Liu Yonghe has retreated to the third line of defense.

The first two roads have been occupied by the Japanese army.

He didn't expect the little devil to be so tenacious. He left countless corpses along the way, but no matter how many people were killed, he would never retreat.

Ge Yunpeng bowed in front of Liu Yonghe in the trench: "Battalion Commander, we are out of ammunition. The fourth line of defense has ammunition, do you still want to retreat?"

Liu Yonghe said angrily: "If you retreat a few times, the Japs won't have much ammunition. Hold on until they mistakenly think that we are going to fight them with bayonets. If we retreat again, we will catch them by surprise."

Ge Yunpeng's eyes lit up, this was a bad idea.

Long before the Beishui Army was established, Lugang Town sent a large number of workers to secretly build military fortifications here.

The reason why the Japanese army was able to persist despite such a tenacious attack was because they knew they had plenty of ammunition and food behind them.

If it doesn't work, just retreat. Even if it costs you, the little devil will be killed.

A shell exploded near the trench.

Ge Yunpeng hurriedly lowered his head, and splashes of mud fell on his collar. He pulled the back of his collar to shake the mud off.

This shell made him a little confused: "Commander, why do they still have shells?"

"The little Japs may seem reckless, but in fact they attach great importance to logistics. Hold on and tell the brothers to hold on. I guess they won't have much ammunition left."

It was a good idea, but it was a pity that the Japanese army seemed to have come back to their senses, and their firepower suddenly became fierce.

On the contrary, it was the rebel army who, because they had support in their hearts, squandered ammunition as much as possible, causing the ammunition on the third front to run out and become increasingly stretched.

But Liu Yonghe ordered to resist, how the hell could he resist?

Ge Yunpeng ran back again and said with a dismayed face: "Captain, brothers can't stand it anymore and must withdraw."

Liu Yonghe was unmoved: "You have to resist even if you can't. The Japs are already approaching. I guess they will use their bayonets soon."

Ge Yunpeng opened his mouth, but could only retreat in frustration.

…

Behind the Japanese army.

A Japanese soldier was sharpening his bayonet with a piece of calcite.

I don't know if the bayonet is sharp or not, but it makes foam drop from the stone.

He seemed to realize that he turned around and saw an unusually tall soldier walking this way with his head lowered.

The soldier's clothes were eccentric, and the stitches were uglier than the wounds stitched by the worst surgeon.

The proportions are extremely inconsistent.

He looked suspicious and asked, "Hey, which team are you from?"

Zhao Chuanxin: "Malu Yelang!"

The Japanese soldier was stunned. Even though the little Japs often scolded Baga Yalu and Malu Yelang, they would not use Tongsheng on their own people.

This is not a harsh curse, but it is extremely insulting.

Hearing this, the Japanese soldier was furious. He put the thirty moves aside and stood up suddenly with his bayonet in hand: "What did you say?"

All the Japanese in Zhao Chuanxin's belly was learned from Japanese women. Two purebred Japanese women - Takano Mariko and Nabeshima Itoko. A semi-sexy Japanese woman - Zena Keith.

He replied: "もう一时!"

Translated, this sentence probably means "one more time."

On what occasion would the Japanese women he knew say such things?

When the Japanese soldiers heard this, they realized that he was talking nonsense.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly rushed forward and touched his forehead with a trembling wrist...
