Chapter 147: Guizi Army

After receiving Li Yunfei's order, Jiang Guiti led his five battalions and hurriedly fled towards Quzigou. Fortunately, the Japanese who were chasing behind slowed down, allowing the Guizi Army to leave the front line, and he was relieved.

"Sir, the Quzigou River is not far ahead. Haicheng asked us to retreat here. Are there reinforcements waiting for us here? But now the brothers who are scouting in front don't see a single figure." A battalion officer under Jiang Guiti pointed to a large river in front and said angrily.

Jiang Guiti frowned and saw that the soldiers around him were waiting for his order. He couldn't help but say loudly: "Whether there are reinforcements or not, as long as we cross this river, we will not be far from Haicheng, so we must travel late at night to prevent the Japanese from catching up."

"Sir, what you said is very true. I will command the brothers to continue moving forward." Several battalion officers did not want to stop at all and wanted to reach Haicheng as soon as possible.

The daytime battle had already frightened them. They had never thought that the Japanese had such a strong attack power. If they fought in the field, they would not be their opponents at all. They had to rely on solid fortifications to stop the enemy.

Therefore, after the Guizi Army stopped to count the number of people, Jiang Guiti immediately ordered the troops to continue to retreat.

At the same time, Jiang Guiti was also a little unhappy. He came to support with good intentions, but was attacked by the Japanese on the way. Haicheng turned a deaf ear and did not send troops to support him.

Just as the army was about to cross the river, a scout came back and ran towards Jiang Guiti.

"Report to the adults, Haicheng has sent people to support us." The cavalryman said loudly without even getting off the horse.

All the battalion officers were happy in their hearts, and Jiang Guiti also showed a smile on his face. It seems that Haicheng still knows how to be grateful, otherwise who will come to rescue him in the future.

"How many people are here, and which army are they from?" Jiang Guiti asked with a smile.

"To reply to your Excellency, there are 100 riders here, they should be brothers from the Wei army." The cavalryman had already dismounted and replied somewhat awkwardly.

Jiang Guiti's smile immediately froze on his face, and just as he was about to say that he would go to greet them, he swallowed it back.

"Damn it, a hundred turtle sons coming to greet them is useless, it's better not to come."

"Fuck, I fought for them, but they are hiding in the city to laugh at me."

"General Jiang, I think we should just go back, so as not to be annoying in Haicheng!"

Several battalion officers immediately cursed indignantly, and some even advised Jiang Guiti not to rescue Haicheng.

Jiang Guiti was also full of anger and had no place to vent. I lost my soldiers and generals for your Haicheng, but you sent a hundred people to support them. If the Japanese attack, your hundred people will not even be enough to fill the gaps in your teeth.

"Let them come to see me." Jiang Guiti was too lazy to even greet them, and said to the cavalryman with a gloomy face.

"Yes, sir." The cavalry knew that Jiang Guiti was unhappy, so they didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried down to report.

Seeing that several battalion officers were still full of indignation, Jiang Guiti said: "See if the Wei army sergeant has anything else to say. If he doesn't say anything, I will turn my horse around and go back to Yingkou."

The battalion officers calmed down and looked at the way they came with unfriendly eyes.

After a while, a young man with heroic spirit led a hundred cavalrymen and rode slowly.

This young man was of course Wei Jichen, but even though he was famous all over the world, not many people knew his true face.

All the people in the Gui army also only heard of him but never saw him, so they didn't recognize him.

Wei Jichen's mouth corners slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared. Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise the Guizi Army would cross the river, and Nogi Maresuke would definitely speed up the march and rush across the river tomorrow to gain credit.

This smile fell into the eyes of several battalion officers of the Guizi Army, but it changed its meaning. My Guizi Army has suffered heavy casualties after a great battle today, and you actually came to greet me with a smile on your face. At least you should pretend to be sad at the beginning.

Jiang Guiti snorted and said coldly: "It's really the Weizi Army. It seems that these 100 cavalry can be used as 1,000 cavalry. The rear of the army is left to you."

"Soldiers, let's go!" Jiang Guiti turned and shouted to the surrounding soldiers.

Seeing Jiang Guiti's childish behavior, Wei Jichen couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Why is General Jiang so anxious? Why don't you sit down and talk?"

Wei Jichen's actions and words made several battalion officers even more angry. Someone immediately scolded loudly, "Who are you? Our general is on par with your Admiral Wei. Why don't you use honorifics when speaking?"

Wei Jichen looked at the angry people with his eyes, and then said lightly, "I am just the Wei Jichen you are talking about."

When Wei Jichen said this, everyone was shocked. A battalion officer said in disbelief, "How is it possible? Didn't Admiral Wei die in the explosion?"

Wei Jichen stood still, and Wang Huaiqing showed the seal and documents.

"I don't think anyone would pretend to be Wei." Wei Jichen pointed to the leeward side and said with a smile, "Why don't we sit down and talk in detail?"

Jiang Guiti secretly swallowed his saliva and asked in disbelief, "Are you really Wei Jichen?"

"Absolutely genuine!" Wei Jichen put his hands behind his back and walked ahead.

Jiang Guiti and several battalion officers of the Guizi Army followed his steps involuntarily.

Soon, the sergeant laid out the carpet and several people sat down one by one.

Several battalion officers looked at Wei Jichen with curious faces.

For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say, and most of them were still in shock.

Wei Jichen looked at Jiang Guiti with a serious face and said solemnly: "General Jiang, Wei came here late at night to ask you to guard the Ququgou River and prevent the Japanese from moving forward."

Jiang Guiti immediately woke up and asked puzzledly: "What's the deep meaning of General Wei?"

Wei Jichen's eyes became more and more intense, and he said with great arrogance: "Because, Wei's army then pressed forward and wanted to annihilate Nogi Hideori's mixed brigade at the Qugougou River."

"Well, Nogi Nogi's army is very brave in fighting. If you want to annihilate them here, I'm afraid it's too weak." If he hadn't already confirmed that the other party was Wei Jichen, maybe Jiang Guiti would have stood up and called the person who said this arrogant. .

Wang Huaiqing, who was next to him, saw that Jiang Guiti obviously didn't believe his master, so he couldn't help curling his lips and said nonchalantly: "Who the hell is Nogi Nogi? My master has already led troops to encircle and annihilate the 3rd Division, killing more than 4,000 Japanese. Otherwise, why do you think our army didn’t show up here?”

"What are you talking about? The 3rd Division has been defeated by you." A battalion officer next to him was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. The bumps and bumps made people worry about whether his teeth could withstand it.

The other battalion officers were not much better, looking at Wei Jichen who had an indifferent expression with unblinking eyes.

Wang Huaiqing snorted disdainfully and said, "What a defeat! It's an annihilation. The commander of the 3rd Division, Katsura Taro, is now a prisoner of our army."

Wei Jichen smiled and said nothing.
