mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 290 Bringing Back a Bundle of Maps

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

When the Japanese army paid a high price and broke into Laoyinggou after leaving Manshan's corpses behind, the decline of the backwater army was obvious.

Chen Zhaochang shook his head: "When the Japanese army hits the backwater army's camp, the backwater army can only retreat 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 and coerced the Qing court even more.

What's interesting is that although the great powers broke the Qing court's seclusion, they also delayed the Qing court's demise.

While Wu Luzhen watched the situation on the battlefield, many thoughts raced through her mind.

At this moment, a vigilant Beiyang soldier suddenly came to report: "Sensei, a group of people of unknown origin appeared on the small road to the southwest."

Wu Luzhen didn't respond yet, but Chen Zhaochang jumped up: "Is it the Japanese army?"

Those who stand on Cixi's side usually have sensitive and delicate nerves, and their fear of great powers is deeply rooted in their bones.

He was afraid that the Japanese army would stay behind and encircle them from behind.

"Master Chen, it's not a Japanese army. Judging by the attire, it looks like... a stick."

Wu Luzhen asked, "How many thousand people are there?"

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

Both Wu Luzhen and Chen Zhaochang were confused.

At this time, there are less than a hundred people armed with sticks that have plunged into the battlefield, why are they here?

"Go to investigate again and make our army alert."

Could it be that he and Kijiro Saito were fighting each other, and what they said was a prophecy?
Both parties said that accidents should be prevented, and it seems that accidents really came.

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: "Counselor, it's Captain Zhao."

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

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

"Yes, it's Zhao Chuanxin outside the customs. He said he wanted to borrow something from you."

Wu Luzhen took off her military cap and straightened her flattened hair, not knowing why: "What did he ask me to borrow?"

Chen Zhaochang was sensitive, and immediately said nervously: "You want to borrow the army? That's impossible! How can you lend him a reckless master?"

Wu Luzhen frowned, but said nothing.

Chen Zhaochang was right, borrowing troops is impossible.

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

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

"Go, take me there for a meeting."

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

In the entire Qing Dynasty, the person who likes to make trouble the most is Zhao Chuanxin.

Just like Zhang Rong who assassinated the five ministers, that's really nothing, it's 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 west hillside.

The Beiyang Army who can come here must have something to do with Wu Luzhen.

"Captain Zhao, you really don't stop." Wu Luzhen clasped her fists and smiled wryly from afar, complaining.

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

But he has a special feeling for Xu Shichang.

When Xu Shichang discovered that the Japanese were ambitious, he felt that there was no man around him.

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

Even if Wu Luzhen is an undercover agent, she is very grateful for this kindness of knowledge.

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

What Zhao Chuanxin did in South Korea gave the Japanese an excuse, and this was a problem for Empress Dowager Cixi.

Empress Dowager Cixi 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, but he is still so heroic and extraordinary. I really miss him so much."

Li Xiangxi and Ning An were very surprised.

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

Everyone knows how bad Zhao Chuanxin's mouth is.

Wu Luzhen was a little uncomfortable.

There must be something to ask for under the courtesy.

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

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

Chen Zhaochang: "..."

In the past two days, the corners of his mouth had blistered, but at this moment his beard was trembling with anger.

No one in sight!

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

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to Li Xiangxi and said, "This is an important official from South Korea, Li Xiangxi, who came here with a heavy responsibility. This little nun is called Ning'an, and she comes from the Lotus Temple in Jiling, Gulu."

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

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

Ning An: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin introduced Wu Luzhen to them again: "My old brother is amazing. When he was a child, he determined to imitate Yue Fei and vowed to serve the country faithfully. He studied modern military affairs at the Hubei Armed Forces Academy, and later entered the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy to study Army Cavalry. , was the first batch of non-commissioned officer students in the Qing Dynasty. Together with Cai E and Jiang Baili, they are also known as the three outstanding non-commissioned officers! Now living under the command of Xu Shichang, he serves as the military counselor of the three provinces, and has won the trust of the court. The name is Wu Luzhen, and the word is Shouqing. Remember this name, Because it will surely leave a name in history."

Wu Luzhen was dumbfounded.

Does Zhao Chuanxin know him so well?
He was embarrassed to boast.

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

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 lightly: "As for who this old man is, forgive me for my poor memory, I don't remember."

Chen Zhao often jumped.

It really makes no sense!

Wu Luzhen hurried to smooth things over: "The backwater army is fighting the Japanese army, and I see that the backwater army seems to be losing to the Japanese army. Let's stop talking, what exactly do you want to borrow to pass the salary?"

After being praised, Wu Luzhen said that Captain Zhao became a salary passer, obviously getting a lot closer.

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

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

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

Wu Luzhen frowned and said, "There are cannonballs, but we don't have Maxim's Mauser."

It cannot be said that the Beiyang Army does not attach importance to machine guns, it can only be said that they are too poor to afford them.

Zhao Chuanxin said indifferently: "Quickly ask someone to get it, the more the better."

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

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

Chen Zhaochang stared.

Emotions are empty gloves, white wolves, right?
Wu Luzhen was anxious, worried that the backwater army would be defeated like a mountain, so she hurriedly said: "Go, let the artillerymen bring 75 Krupp field artillery shells. Well, twenty here."

He felt that Zhao Chuanxin and these people would not be able to move them if they took too much.

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

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

Wu Luzhen was surprised: "Where's your artillery? Could it be that you let these sticks... These soldiers hold shells to bomb the Japanese?"

Zhao Chuanxin's team consisted of just a few dozen people, and they were well equipped with rifles, but they didn't have artillery at all.

"Yeah, I invented a technique in South Korea called brutal collision. It is to hold a shell, hit the fuze with human power, and die together with the Japanese. Let me tell you, it's very happy. I held the shell and died. A lot of Japanese."

"..."

Believe in you!

Wu Luzhen had to ask someone to carry 50 shells.

Chen Zhaochang suddenly asked: "Zhao Chuanxin, did you get the map when you went to Korea?"

Zhao Chuanxin patted his head: "So Xuan forgot about this."

Wu Luzhen put her hand on her forehead: "The main task of your trip to South Korea is to get a map. If you forget about this..."

Smiling twice, Zhao Chuanxin turned around slightly, but no one saw him take out a large bundle of maps from somewhere.

The map was stuffed into Wu Luzhen's arms: "Fortunately, I brought you the map back. It's a bit much. You can enjoy it slowly when you go back. By the way, since there is a map, then these shells are not considered as borrowing, but as The fund for the map is ready. As for the bonus, I will settle accounts with you when I get back from Saito Kijiro's bum."

Wu Luzhen and Chen Zhaochang: "..."

The two of them were a little dazed looking at a large bundle of maps of various periods in North Korea.

Originally there was only one "Map of Dadongyu", but now it's a good thing, some of them are all brought back.

Wu Luzhen thought for a while and said, "I will report the matter of your taking the map to Governor Xu, and Governor Xu will report it to the imperial court. Maybe the imperial court can withdraw the arrest warrant for you."

Zhao Chuanxin looked shocked: "What? I escaped death. I was almost besieged to death by little devils in Gulujiling, and my life was hanging by a thread. It's so miserable, just withdraw the wanted? Can't you give me some rewards? For example, give me A governor should be?"

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

Zhao Chuanxin took it for granted: "The governor is a fart, I still want to make a prince. How awesome is it to get a group of bannermen and bring them back as slaves?"

"..."

This is the first time I heard some Han people say that they want to take the bannermen back to be slaves.

Strangely fresh.

While talking, boxes of shells were brought over.

Zhao Chuanxin was also in a hurry.

He heard the sound of guns getting farther and farther away. It was obvious that the Japanese army was closing in, while the backwater army was retreating steadily.

I hope that old boy Liu Shanzi can persevere.

He waved his hand: "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 to retreat obediently.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his sleeves around the boxes of shells, and the ground was empty.

Chen Zhaochang and Wu Luzhen opened their mouths wide open.

Really have magic?

Zhao Chuanxin didn't give them a chance to ask questions, so he stepped forward and patted Wu Luzhen on the shoulder: "Remember, go and claim credit for me, and persuade that immortal Cixi not to be ignorant of good and evil, and to be worthy of a prince."

Wu Luzhen smiled wryly.

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

Chen Zhaochang simply didn't know what to say.

I've never seen such a smelly and shameless person.

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

Kwon Sangchu is the 33rd grandson of the Andong Kwon family in North Korea, and he was born in a famous family.From their clan, there is a famous star behind them.However, there should be no direct blood relationship with Quan Shangqiu.

He had participated in the battle of Guluji Ridge before, and was a small leader sent by Park Shengyeol to lead the team.

Because Park Shengyeol knew Zhao Chuanxin's way of doing things, he would definitely go deep and fight alone in a fight.

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

Zhao Chuanxin looked at him like a fool: "We No. 60 people, tell me how to die? Of course, we run away if we can't fight. Don't worry, if I make a move, I think the Japanese army will soon become chaotic. Just mess around behind them."

Quan Shangqiu sneered: "Understood."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Ning An again: "You're so fucking smart, don't die here."

Ning An was moved for a while. Although Mr. Zhao was outspoken, he still cared about him and worried about him.

"Don't worry Mr. Zhao, I will definitely not die here."

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

At the foot of the mountain, he first put on the fortitude armor.

Then they found the body of a Japanese soldier and took off the general uniform.

But when he put it on, the thin military uniform covered his huge body, making him look like a retarded man.

Especially with the armor of fortitude inside, the clothes look even smaller.

"Grass!"

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

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

The Japanese military uniform was sewn like a rag doll, with scars all over it, but luckily the same color could be seen.

It barely fits on the body, it looks so interesting.

As for the trousers, he did not change them.

Put on the Japanese soldier's cap again.

At this time, the military uniforms of the Japanese army were imitated from France, and the military caps were French flat caps, which were very obscene.

The Japanese imitate and learn from whoever is strong.

France was strong before, so they learn like France.

However, after the Franco-Prussian War, France's performance was not satisfactory. They saw that Germany was still stronger, so they began to learn from Germany in terms of military affairs.

But changing the military uniform requires a lot of money, so the military uniform is still the French military uniform for the time being.

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

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

He also took out a Type [-] rifle from the secret realm. Looking at it this way, apart from being too tall, it had some meaning.

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

Then he took out the starch glue that was swept up in the Lantern House, dabbed it on his lips casually, and stuck his hair on it.Make the beard on the lips look thicker.

Taking a look in the mirror, I felt that the 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 his waist and faced the mirror: "Ba Ga Ya Lu, Ma Lu Ye Lang, あほう..."

very satisfied.

Holding the Thirty Forms, he 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 died, he would never retreat.

Ge Yunpeng bowed in front of Liu Yonghe in the trench: "Battle Commander, we are out of ammunition. There is ammunition in the fourth line of defense, should we return it?"

Liu Yonghe said angrily: "Retreat a few times, the little devils don't have much ammunition. Hold on, until they mistakenly think that we are going to fight with them with bayonets, we retreat again, and then we will catch them by surprise."

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

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

Under such a tenacious attack by the Japanese army, the reason why the backwater army can persist again and again is because they know that there is enough ammunition behind them.

If it doesn't work, just quit, even if it is exhausted, the little devil will be exhausted.

A shell exploded near the trench.

Ge Yunpeng hurriedly lowered his head, and splashed mud fell on his collar, and he shook the mud off by pulling the back of his lapel.

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

"The little devils seem reckless, but they actually attach great importance to logistics. Hold on, tell the brothers to hold on, I guess they won't have too much ammunition left."

It's a good idea, but it's a pity that the Japanese army's firepower suddenly became fierce, as if they were returning to the light.

On the contrary, it was the backwater army, because of the support in their hearts, the ammunition could be squandered vigorously, which caused the ammunition on the third front to run out, and it became more and more stretched.

But Liu Yonghe ordered to resist, how the hell can he resist?
Ge Yunpeng ran back again, disheartened and said: "Commander, brothers can't stand it anymore, we have to withdraw."

Liu Yonghe was unmoved: "If you can't stand it, you have to. The little devils are already close. I reckon they will be bayoneted soon."

Ge Yunpeng opened his mouth, but retreated in frustration.

……

In the rear of 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 the stones drop foam.

He turned his head as if feeling something, and saw an unusually tall soldier walking this way with his head bowed.

The soldier's clothes were grotesque, mended worse than the worst surgeon's wounds.

The proportions are extremely uncoordinated.

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

Zhao Chuanxin: "Red Deer Yelang!"

The Japanese soldier was stunned, don't look at the little devil who often scolds Baga Yalu and Malu Yelang, but he won't use it on his own people.

These words are not harsh, but extremely insulting.

Hearing this, the Japanese soldier was furious, put aside the Thirty Forms, and suddenly got up with a bayonet: "What did you say?"

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

He replied, "もう一次!"

Translated, this sentence probably means "again".

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

When the Japanese soldiers heard it, the lips of the donkey were not right with the mouth of the horse, and they were talking about something.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly rushed forward, shaking his wrist on his forehead...
