Chapter 439 Liaodong (22)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Li Huan, the imperial camp general and training general of the imperial army, was able to fulfill two positions and was also skilled in martial arts. He was good at using the "Moon Sword" (equivalent to the Yanyue Sword of the Ming Dynasty). Unfortunately, his troops could not form the formation and were killed in pieces.

.

"Drive, drive, drive", Li Huan jumped on his horse and ran wildly.

"Da da da", a horse chased me, "hoo", with the sound of wind whistling, a waist knife came across.

Li Huan listened to the wind to identify his position, lowered his head, and made a horizontal movement of his moon sword with his backhand, sweeping the pursuing enemy off his horse.

Just when he took a breath, Ye Shuke chased after him, took out his hard bow, and shot Li Huan under the horse with a "whoosh" arrow.

North Korean soldier Cao Banshu Yuan Doupiao fled among the rebels and was beheaded by a soldier of the Eighth Banners.

More than 20,000 Korean troops fled across the mountains and plains, successfully distracting the Qing army's attention.

The Ming army retreated while fighting, and was about to retreat to Wu La Mountain City.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

There was a loud killing sound, Qing'ang Bangzhang Jingshar Huda led five thousand cavalry to fight out from Crow Falcon Pass, hoping to cut off the Ming army's return route.

Sarhuda's subordinates often fought with Rakshasa people and tribes outside the pass. They were extremely elite. His subordinates, Mele Zhang Jing Bahai, Jia La Zhang Jing Haita, and Nigali, were all brave enough to be unstoppable by ten thousand men.

For a moment, the Ming army array was shaken by the rush.

"Young son Yang Huai, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I have come to accept your fate." Sarhu Daang sat on the big black horse, with a lance in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, looking majestic.

Yang Huai's face darkened, and he ordered Tan Bu to lead the cavalry to meet the enemy, while he led the infantry to continue retreating.

The road was going smoothly, and many Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners were subdued, as well as some prisoners, as well as the East China Sea Jurchens and Sauron people on horseback, all of whom were incorporated into Tanbu's army and gathered five thousand cavalry.

"Da da da", "ta da da", "ta da da"

Two cavalrymen collided.

Tanbu and Yuerduo's 1,500-banner headquarters are all fine, and their families are all in the south; Ma Siwen's 2,800-banner Han army is also ok, with most of their families in Fengcheng and Zhenjiang, and they themselves are Han Chinese; Fu Lehe, Mo

Er Xun's 1,500 cavalry were the most unstable, and half of them were white-banner prisoners captured in Fengcheng. When these people saw the Eight Banners coming to kill them, they were unwilling to fight. Some fled in all directions, and some simply defected.

Fuleh was trying his best to restrain his men when Sarhuda arrived.

"Fu Lehe, you are the grandson of Taizu. You love the Xinjieluo family in this world. Why do you want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and surrender to the Ming Dynasty? Why don't you surrender quickly?" Shalhuda shouted.

"Hahaha, I have been deprived of my ancestral status. I am no longer a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family. Give me a knife." Fu Lehe slashed with his knife.

Although he was brave, his battle experience was far less than that of Sarhuda, who was born in Zhangjing, the outpost of Bagala, and his sword flew away after a short battle.

"Huh", he slashed down with a powerful and heavy knife.

"My life is at an end!"

Fulehe closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Bang!"

My younger brother, Merson, arrived with a long sword and said, "Brother, hurry up and I will stop this slave."

Fulehe shouted to be careful and rode away.

After three rounds, Merson was knocked off his horse by Sarhuda. "Sixth brother" Fulehe was heartbroken, but he did not dare to hesitate and hit the horse and ran wildly.

The left and right wanted to cut off Merson's head for merit calculation, "Don't be rude", Salhuda sighed, "This is the sixth son of the British prince's family, the grandson of Taizu, leave him a complete body".

??

The Qing army pursued them desperately, killing, killing, and killing them all the way; the Ming and North Korean coalition forces desperately retreated.

We evacuated until we reached the Ula Mountain City and finally took a breath. We counted the troops and found that there were only 21,000 Ming troops and 5,000 Chao troops left, a total loss of more than 30,000 people.

Yang Huai did not dare to stay, so he quickly retreated from Wula Mountain City to the Pozhu River, and took a boat from the Pozhu River back to the Yalu River.

Fortunately, the Qing army lacked naval forces, so the Ming and North Korean coalition forces successfully returned to Yiju and Fengcheng along the Yalu River.

After joining Luo Yunzhang and Zheng Taihe's six thousand Central and North Korean coalition forces, Yang Huai was frightened. While spending a lot of money to recruit Mongolians, Koreans, and Jurchen warriors from the East China Sea to make up for the battle losses, he planned to move the people of Fengcheng to Yi.

Prefecture, taking advantage of the naval superiority, concentrated its forces to defend the Yalu River.

Just when we were about to switch from attack to defense, a supporting force arrived.

Chen Qice, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Navy, was ordered by Emperor Guangwu to arrive from Taiwan with 7,000 navy troops.

The arrival of these seven thousand soldiers and horses quickly stabilized the morale of the army and made Yang Huai give up the idea of ​​abandoning Fengcheng. On the one hand, he recruited seven thousand Mongolian, East China Sea Jurchen, and Korean recruits of all ethnic groups to supplement the battle losses; on the other hand, along the Cao River,

Guohe River, and the defense of the forts north of Fengcheng.

When King Li Hao of North Korea heard about the defeat at the front, he also sent 15,000 newly recruited North Korean "armies". Most of these troops were new soldiers and their combat power was weaker than the previous North Korean army. However, after this, the Ming and North Korean coalition forces

The number of people has returned to more than 60,000, and it seems that there is strength in numbers. However, too many new recruits have been added, and time is needed for rest and training.

Ao Bai was not willing to give the Ming army a chance to breathe. He led more than 50,000 Eight Banners and more than 10,000 Korean prisoners to kill them. These prisoners were used as auxiliary soldiers, carrying supplies in peacetime, and as cannon fodder for sieges in wartime.

The Qing army came fiercely and successively captured Samajhi Fort, Caohe Fort, and Kuoyang Fort.

Yang Huai didn't care about training the new soldiers, so he had to train them in battle.

The two sides first fought fiercely in Fengcheng. The Ming navy warships sailed on the Cao River and the Jue River, shelling the Qing army. The Qing army lacked navy and could not attack Fengcheng for a long time.

Ao Bai was furious. He crossed the Great Wall and went to the lower reaches of the Yalu River. He successively captured Xin Dien Fort and Kuan Dien Fort. Yang Huai led his army to defend Damien Fort for more than a month. Thousands of people were killed on both sides and the stalemate continued.

.

"Commander, this stalemate is not the answer. I have a plan to disturb the Qing army." Tong Yangjia offered his advice.

"Oh, Mr. Tong, please speak quickly," Yang Huai said anxiously.

"Many of these Qing troops come from the Jurchen and Sauron tribes in the East China Sea. These tribes are very poor and easy to bribe. You might as well send a force north to the Sea of ​​Japan, occupy Kuwu (Sakhalin Island) and the Nurgan City area, and bribe those who are willing

The surrendered tribes, those who did not obey orders, and the recruiting of warriors from all tribes to be used by the Ming Dynasty were equivalent to breaking an arm of the Manchu people."

"Going to Kuwu and Nuergancheng?"

Yang Huai looked at Yu Yuan, nodded slowly, and said, "But right now our army is in a fierce battle with the Qing army, so we can't send too many troops!"

"Commander, our navy has an absolute advantage, so we might as well send Hu Bo and Ruan Jin to lead the three thousand navy to go north. In addition, Tan Bu, Yuer Duo and other Eight Banners surrender troops have suffered heavy casualties and are recuperating in the rear, so why not also send them to go north?

"Sending another thousand Korean troops to accompany the expedition is enough!"

The 5,000 cavalrymen of Tanbu, Yuerduo, Ma Siwen, and Fulehe suffered too many casualties in the battle to block Sarhuda. Only 2,000 of them were left disabled and rested on Shenmi Island.<

/p>

Yang Huai nodded and ordered Ruan Jin to be the commander-in-chief and lead 3,000 navy troops, 2,000 Eight Banners surrender troops, and 1,000 Korean forbidden troops to go to Kuwu Island.

Kugu Island (Sakhalin Island) is an important island in Nurgandus. It is called "Sakhalin Island" by Russians and "North Ezo Land" by Japan. It has more than 76,000 square kilometers of fertile land and is rich in oil.

Coal, gold and salmon were ceded to the Russians in later generations after the Treaty of Beijing.

At this time, it still nominally belongs to China.

The Ming Dynasty established three guards on this island: Nangha'er, Ullie River, and Boluo River, which belonged to the area of ​​Nuergandusi. During the Wanli period, after Nuergandusi was abolished, the Qing government appointed Wulinmucheng (three surnames as deputy capital commanders).

The Yamen led people across the sea to the island, appeased the local residents, and established households one after another. They took charge of the Feyaka (Nivhe), Ewenki, Ainu, Hezhe and other ethnic groups on the island.
