Chapter 141 Lion's Roar

When the Chinese sergeants lying in ambush on both sides of the road saw this, they were furious and wanted to kill the Japanese below.

But Wei Jichen was waiting. He was waiting for most of the Japanese in the rear to enter the encirclement. Although he also wanted to save the sergeants, as a commander, he could not let his emotions affect his judgment and he could not be merciful.

Except for the defeated soldiers who were overtaken by the Japanese, the other defeated soldiers of the Renzi Army were like frightened birds, running straight towards the other side of the road crazily.

Following Kuri Iihara as he stepped into the encirclement was the Shibanoshima Regiment. He and Oshima Hisao were riding horses and galloping over, chatting and laughing with each other.

"Your Excellency, after this battle, our 6th Brigade will definitely become famous in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army will definitely run away when they encounter us in the future." Shiba Yejima knew that as long as the relationship between superiors and subordinates is good, there is no need to be like Kuri Iihara. Even if you work hard, you can get promoted and make a fortune.

Da Dao heard this for a long time, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he said modestly: "It is still too early to say these words now. Only when we capture Haicheng and defeat the remnants of the Wei Zijun, the Qing army will You know how powerful I am.”

"I'm afraid that your reputation will not be comparable to that of Mr. Nogi by then." Shiba Yejima praised his ability to the best of his ability. Soon, the 6th Brigade disappeared from the sight of the Wei Zijun sergeant.

Within a few kilometers, the sergeants of all the armies ambushing on both sides stared at the rampant Japanese below. There was nothing more hateful than seeing these Japanese killing their own soldiers with their own eyes.

The sergeants of each army held their guns tightly and tried to hold their breath. The palms and backs of their hands were soaked with sweat. At this time, the chill coming from the ground could not cool down the hatred in their hearts at all.

Nie Guilin's big eyes looked in the direction of Wei Zijun.

Why hasn't Commander Wei given the order yet? These Japanese are almost chasing my offensive position.

Xu Bangdao led the soldiers of the guard army to ambush on both sides of the valley exit. They could all see the panicked faces of their own soldiers, and the arrogant and wanton laughter of the Japanese was getting closer and closer.

"Wei Shuai, hurry up and give the order!" Xu Bangdao was impatient and looked anxiously in the direction of Wei Zijun, waiting for the sound of gunfire over there.

Wei Jichen was still waiting. Yes, he had to wait until the main men of the 3rd Division stepped into the encirclement. Otherwise, without Guitaro, this battle would not be called perfect.

All the soldiers around him focused their attention on him. The trumpeter had already grasped the horn tightly in his hand, and the flag bearer had already tied the flag and then tied it.

However, Wei Jichen still held the telescope and lay motionless on the ground.

Finally, Katsura Taro led a group of staff, more than a thousand troops of the 3rd Division headquarters and baggage troops to appear at the mouth of the valley.

Hundreds of horses pulled various cannons, as well as firearms and ammunition.

Katsura Taro was wearing the uniform of a Japanese lieutenant general, with white gloves on his hands, and a command knife on his waist. He was riding a tall horse with high spirits. As soon as he entered the valley, he saw dead bodies of Chinese troops everywhere.

Gui Tailang couldn't help but said proudly: "Ma Jinxu is indeed more than one step behind Wei Jichen. If Wei Jichen stayed in Xujia Yuanzi, he would definitely abandon that small village and move the battlefield here. Alas, it's a pity. He shouldn't have been born in the Qing Dynasty, no It’s time to fight the Empire.”

Ogawa Jiro adjusted his glasses, looked at the steep peaks around him, and couldn't help but praise: "The title of a line of sky is really worthy of its name. The Qing army has always been unable to endure hardships. Most of them set up defensive positions in the city, or Around the village, the generals of the Qing Dynasty could have fun while leading their troops in battle."

When Ogawa Jiro said this, there was already a touch of ridicule in his tone.

"Your Excellency, we'd better hurry up. Otherwise, when the 6th Brigade captures Haicheng, we might still be marching slowly on this road." Jiro Ogawa said with a smile when he saw the Japanese troops gradually disappearing in front of them.

"That's how it should be, gentlemen! Please ride with me, Katsura Taro, on the sea city." Katsura Taro pointed his horse whip forward with joy and said ambitiously.

The men and horses of the 3rd Division headquarters immediately quickened their pace and advanced hurriedly.

On the mountain peak on the left side of the entrance to the valley, Wei Jichen watched with his own eyes as Katsura Taro and his entourage paused and then accelerated into the encirclement. When he saw Katsura Taro stop just now, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He was afraid that in the end he would fall short and escape Katsura Taro.

Fortunately, from the telescope, he only saw Katsura Taro talking excitedly for a moment, and then continued to move forward. He felt relieved, and Wei Jichen could feel that his back was already wet.

After glancing at the people around him and seeing the excitement that could not be concealed in their eyes, Wei Jichen raised his hand slightly, and a soldier quickly stepped forward to hand over a cigar and lit it.

Wei Jichen took a deep breath, then spat out a big eye socket and said softly: "Attack!"

Woohoo…

Nervous, the trumpeter who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised his horns and blew with all his strength.

Bang bang bang…

The sound of passionate war drums and high-pitched horns echoed on the continuous mountain peaks on both sides.

The shock caused the snow on the high branches to fall one after another.

The loud sound of drums and horns caused the Japanese in the valley to stop and look around in fear.

Before they could react.

Boom, boom. The artillerymen of all armies rushed to show off their power, and artillery shells were scattered everywhere on the road.

The loud noise frightened the Japanese soldiers and horses, and they kept neighing.

The counterattack began.

On the way for several kilometers, after hearing the order, the troops did not pause, and all poured out their anger towards the people below.

Boom, boom, bang, bang.

The sound of raised guns, rapid guns, Gatling rapid-fire cannons, and Krupp burst cannons.

They all roared in despair.

"Sir, we were ambushed by the Chinese. We should evacuate here quickly and discuss it later." Ogawa Jiro shouted in shock.

They had just entered the valley not long ago, so there was no need to engage in a firefight with the Chinese army that had the advantage of terrain.

Ogawa Jiro's suggestion was exactly what Katsura Taro wanted. In addition to some ordinary soldiers, the troops in this unit also had a large amount of military ammunition. If they were hit by enemy artillery fire, it would definitely cause an explosion.

"Who is it? Who led the troops to ambush me?" Katsura Taro shouted wildly in his heart. He was unwilling to accept the eternal regret of a single misstep.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Katsura Taro turned his horse's head and immediately issued an order to retreat.

Boom, boom.

Wang Shizhen's artillery battalion specifically aimed at the entrance of the valley. Several carriages in the rear were hit by artillery and immediately broke into pieces, with wheels rolling all over the ground.

"Brothers, it's time to avenge our dead brothers. I have only one request for the Japanese: kill, kill, and kill!" Wei Jichen was furious, and he sent his personal guards down with a roar.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Wei army, with numerous blood feuds, turned into ghosts seeking their lives, and rushed down from both sides of the mountain. They wanted to close the pocket formation before the Japanese retreated from the valley, tighten the pocket, and not let any of the Japanese escape.

Katsura Taro's 3rd Division headquarters was bombarded by Wang Shizhen, and the retreat was slowed down. In this short period of time, many soldiers of the Wei army had already closed the entrance to the valley tightly, cutting off their way.

"Lift it up!" Wei Jichen stood on a large hillside, looking coldly at the panicked Japanese troops below, and said to a personal soldier next to him.

Eight personal soldiers hurriedly lifted a super loudspeaker, and then set it in front of Wei Jichen, with the mouth of the horn pointed at the battlefield below.

In order to build this loudspeaker, Wei Jichen found dozens of blacksmiths with the most outstanding craftsmanship in Haicheng, and worked for seven days and seven nights without closing their eyes to make it.

Although the appearance is a bit rough and a little short of what Wei Jichen had in mind, the actual effect is not bad.

Wei Jichen took a deep breath, entered the system to perform military strategist skills to boost morale, and roared: "Katsura Taro, today is the day you die, this is where you die, no doubt, because I, the god of death, Wei Jichen, am here."

After Wei Jichen's roar was amplified by the loudspeaker, it actually covered the sound of gunfire and caused a continuous echo in the mountains.

"Katsura Taro..., Death God Wei Jichen..."

These echoes were like the roars of the mountains. The Japanese soldiers immediately felt that Wei Jichen's voice was everywhere. The lingering nightmare came again.

"Katsura Taro, you are a Japanese lieutenant general, but you didn't expect to be fooled so easily. I, Wei Jichen, used a little trick and you stepped into the encirclement of my army. Six thousand soldiers will die here because of your stupidity and carelessness. How can you live in the world with dignity!"

"If I were you, I would definitely die by disembowelment to thank the world!" Wei Jichen had already used the military strategist's strategy of rebellion. The strategy of rebellion is to use the three-inch tongue to continuously weaken the will of the target. Now, it is naturally impossible for Wei Jichen to rebellion Katsura Taro, but it is still possible to make him depressed.
