Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 148 Liaodong Volunteer
Chaos, chaos, chaos...

Since the turmoil in Goryeo, it seems that my Qing Dynasty has been implicated, and it has become a mess along with it.

First, at the request of the Koryo court, my Qing Dynasty sent troops to Koryo to suppress the rebellion.

For a time, tens of thousands of Qing troops marched into Koryo, very majestic and domineering.

As a result, Xiaori made a shady trick and arrived in Koryo one step ahead of time, and also concentrated his military power to inflict heavy damage on the unstable Qing army.

Under the command of the wise Ye Commander, the Qing army was defeated and soon withdrew from Korea.

Then, the Qing army deployed on the national border still failed to block the impact of Xiaori's army, and retreated to the Liaodong area after defeat after defeat.

Afterwards, the Beiyang navy was ordered to transport follow-up troops to the front line. When returning, it was ambushed in Dadonggou. After a great battle, almost the entire army was wiped out, and a large number of elite navy generals died in battle.

The news was sent back to Weihaiwei Military Port, which caused a huge commotion.

Admiral Ding was paralyzed, the navy's main warships suffered heavy losses, and the Beiyang Navy's combat power had almost shrunk by half.

The point is, such a big loss and the consequences of defeat, he can't bear it alone.

Just when Admiral Ding was confused, the guard outside the door reported: "Senior Brother Wu from Jiaoao is here!"

What is he doing here?
Just as this idea came to mind, and then recalled Wu Dong's series of reminders before, he suddenly felt depressed with remorse.

"Hurry up please!"

But no matter what, Admiral Ding, who was a little lost at this time, subconsciously felt that Wu Dong might be able to help him tide over the difficulties.

"Master Admiral, the situation is quite clear, and I have a lot of ambitions in my childhood!"

After meeting, Wu Dong was not polite, and said directly: "Look at this posture, Xiaotian has the tendency to sweep Liaodong!"

Admiral Ding was a little baffled. Isn't this obvious? The army in the old days had already reached the hinterland of Liaodong.

"Admiral, after all, I came from crossing the sea for a small day. The lifeline of logistics supplies is all at sea, but the three major bases of the Beiyang Navy still have the power to fight!"

A trace of disdain flashed in Wu Dong's eyes, and he asked directly: "If the admiral is the high-ranking officer of Little Life, what will be the next step?"

"Naturally, take down all three bases and relieve your worries!"

Speaking of this, Admiral Ding broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly shouted: "The capital is in danger!"

As soon as the words fell, he got up and wanted to go out to send someone to remind the big boss in the capital, but Wu Dong stopped him.

"Wu Dong, what do you want to do?"

"Master Admiral, you should take care of yourself first!"

With a flick of his palm, Wu Dong sent Admiral Ding back to his original seat, and said angrily, "The Dagu Fortress is enough to block the sea area of ​​Jinmen. How can it be possible for Xiaotian to want a quick victory?"

"If I were a high-ranking officer in Xiaotian, I would first let Dagu go, so as not to fall into the crazy resistance of the Qing army's various ministries!"

"The Lushun and Weihaiwei bases are much easier to fight. Without the main battleships and the two major naval bases, do you still have the courage to go out to fight?"

What he said made Admiral Ding's face turn ashen, and his body trembled.

"If you cooperate with the army, sea and land, the consequences..."

The consequences are simply unimaginable!
Admiral Ding was startled, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

If Little Days were to advance by sea and land, and take down the Weihaiwei Military Port where he personally sits, then he would have to apologise with death.

only……

"What Senior Brother Wu said is only a guess after all!"

At this time, Admiral Ding didn't care about the admiral's face, and directly called Brother Wu Dong.

He was a little entangled, carefully lowered his voice and said: "If the court and Lord Zhongtang blame it, then Ding can't bear it!"

"You won't take the initiative to inform the guesses and consult the imperial court and Li Zhongtang for instructions?"

Wu Dong was a bit dumbfounded, and said in a deep voice, "However, the precautions that should be taken must not be neglected. Look at the admiral, do you want to open up a few munitions warehouses in the military port?"

"Senior Brother Wu, what do you want to do, take advantage of the fire?"

"Don't make your words so harsh. If there is an army landing in the small days, and it can cooperate with the defense of the military port at that time, who else can you count on besides my Boxers?"

Wu Dong was not polite at all, and explained the current situation clearly.

"you……"

Admiral Ding's eyes widened, he wanted to get angry but didn't know how to do it?
Judging from the Goryeo battlefield and the results of the subsequent Liaodong War, the Qing army is simply unreliable.

That was a regular field force, let alone the local troops stationed in Jiao'ao.

Admiral Ding was quite clear that if he pinned his hopes on them, then there would be no need to defend the Weihaiwei Military Port, and he would simply surrender.

"Senior Brother Wu, can those boxers under your command fight?"

After struggling for a long time, he still didn't dare to agree indiscriminately, and asked instead: "If your boxers are not good, it's useless to say anything!"

"Can it work, Liaodong will have an answer soon!"

Wu Dong got up, and warned as he walked out: "Master Admiral, don't play any tricks then!"

Watching the back of Wu Dong leaving, Admiral Ding remained silent for a long time.

Although he was robbed for a while, and his face was a little embarrassed, Wu Dong's speculation was not unreasonable. What if something happened to Weihaiwei Military Port...

Soon, Admiral Ding sent an urgent letter to the imperial court and Beiyang Minister's Mansion with all the things Wu Dong said before.

On the other side of the capital, there is a lot of noise because of the disadvantage of the war and the judgment of the next attack direction of the small day navy.

A group of court chiefs are most concerned about their own lives, so the judgments they make naturally are in their own best interest.

As a matter of course, Admiral Ding's notes and urgent letters were ignored by the court and Li Zhongtang, and they just issued an order not to allow the Beiyang navy to leave the port easily. As for the life and death of the two major military ports of Lushun and Weihaiwei, they were not considered at all.

Admiral Ding was naturally disappointed when he got the order, but he didn't dare to mess around.

At this time, the battle report from Liaodong caught his attention.

In the Liaodong region, more and more Qing troops were defeated like a mountain, and the decline could not be stopped at all.

In the small days, not to mention the marching posture, occupying the important cities of Liaodong, it is almost the same.

Under such circumstances, the arrogance and carelessness of Xiaotian can be imagined.

At this moment, some local volunteers rose up to resist, and raided a small group of people who had separated from the majority, and wiped out hundreds of enemies in one fell swoop.

In this way, it is like opening the door to a new world.

This voluntary courage turned out to be more and more courageous as the war progressed, relying on the skill of riding horses to repeatedly attack the small army that harassed Xiaotian, and all of them succeeded.

Encouraged by this, some officers and soldiers and local people joined in one after another.

They relied on the speed of their horses to maneuver, and played the extremely uncomfortable riding tactics that made Xiaotian feel extremely uncomfortable. They wiped out thousands of enemies in Liaodong in a short time, and dealt a heavy blow to Xiaotian.

Especially the volunteers at the beginning, it was later found out that it was led by the well-known Dao Wang Wu in the capital, surrounded by a group of Kansai swordsmen with extraordinary martial arts, the combat effectiveness was the strongest, and the small group of people in the small days were also the most serious. .

Whenever encountering a battle with a scale of less than [-] people, the soldiers and horses of the small days will end in the destruction of the entire army, and the strength of the combat power is quite astonishing.

The generals and officers of the defeated Qing army in Liaodong, at this moment, seemed to be grasping at straws, and desperately took the credit for their bravery, and naturally publicized it for them.

Because of this, Admiral Ding was able to know immediately.

Hearing that the leader of the volunteers was the famous swordsman Wang Wu in the capital's rivers and lakes, Admiral Ding's heart suddenly moved, and he didn't know what to think of, and the expression on his face was quite strange.

As far as he knew, Wu Dong, a brother of the Jiao'ao Fatan, was also a well-known master in the Jianghu, and he had a pretty good relationship with some well-known Jianghu warriors in the north.

He remembered the words that Wu Dong reminded when he left...

At this moment, the personal guard came to report: "Senior Brother Wu is visiting!"

He was not pretentious, and directly invited people here, and asked at the first sentence: "Wang Wu, the majestic swordsman in Liaodong, is it possible that Brother Wu arranged for him?"

"Haha, it's too much to say it's a special arrangement!"

Wu Dong didn't want to turn himself into a magic stick, but said indifferently: "My news channels are quite extensive, and I have known for a long time that I have mischievous thoughts, but there is no actual evidence, otherwise it would be impossible to remind the admiral so many times! "

Admiral Ding was a little embarrassed by the words, Wu Dong continued: "Just in case, I invited Brother Wang Wu to go to Lushun to sit in town for a while!"

"If there is nothing wrong, then it will be treated as a tour. If something happens, the admiral will know!"

"That combat power is too amazing!"

Following Wu Dong's words, Admiral Ding sighed: "I heard that many generals from Liaodong want to recruit them!"

"fart!"

Wu Dong sneered disdainfully, waved his hand and said: "It's better to say goodbye. I believe the admiral knows better than me what kind of birds are inside the Qing army. Don't be a good team of elite troops. They didn't fall into the hands of Xiaozi, but they were given by their own people." It's dead!"

These words made Admiral Ding feel even more embarrassed, do you want to say it so bluntly?

But he didn't know that the main reason why Wu Xing, the Great Swordsman, was so powerful was the boxers who cooperated in the battle.

The official boxers deployed in the six farms are basically very sharp fighters in martial arts and marksmanship, that is to say, they are extremely capable in individual combat.

The current army is not well equipped, at least there are no machine guns and automatic rifles. Once a small group of cavalry is called to attack, it will not be able to withstand it.

To deal with the scattered troops of the Xiaotian army at this time, as long as you use the ranger tactics well and rush into the army formation of Xiaotian at the critical moment, the difference in martial arts between the two sides, although it is not a one-sided massacre, is not much different. .

There is no need to explain this to Admiral Ding. Right now, Wu Dong is in short supply of rifles and firearms. Otherwise, the results of the battle in Liaodong will be even greater.Wouldn't it be too wasteful not to take the opportunity to make a fortune from the Qing army at this time, so many good things on the Koryo and Liaodong battlefields were picked up by Xiaotian...
