While Obai was still hesitating, the Korean monarchs and ministers on the tower of Changui Gate had already exploded.
"What's going on? The Qing army actually lost? The Ming army actually defeated the Qing army?"
"Axi, am I not blind? When did the Qing army become so weak?"
"Lord You Yizheng, you are wrong. It's not that the Qing army has become weak, but that the Ming army is too sharp."
"That's right, the Ming army is too sharp. I wonder if you have noticed that the blunderbuss used by the Ming army don't even need a match rope. What's going on?"
"Sir, this is a self-made firecracker."
"You don't need a match rope to shoot."
Park Dongxi lost no time in saying: "This kind of self-generating fire cannon not only hits faster and farther than bird cannons, but is also safer. Ever since the Ming army equipped this kind of self-generating fire cannon, the Qing army has never been their opponent."
This time Jin Yao did not reprimand Park Dongxi, but just stared outside the city in a daze.
Pu Dongxi added: "Your Majesty and your lords, I want you to know that before we returned to Korea, the Ming army had already recaptured Shenyang, Liaoyang and Gaizhou, and now most of Liaodong has returned to the Ming Dynasty."
"Is this happening?" Li Zhu said in astonishment, "Doesn't this mean that the Ming Dynasty has hope for ZTE?"
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has already revived." Park Dongxi said, "So we in Korea must get rid of the slaves as soon as possible and restore the vassal alliance with the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it will lead to catastrophe."
"The most urgent task is to coordinate with the Ming army to defeat the Jiannu."
When the North Korean monarchs and ministers heard this, they fell into silence.
Finally, Li Zhu said: "Let's take another look."
…
Xia Wanchun glanced at Changyi Gate behind him and said bitterly: "Prince Ding, it seems that it is impossible for North Korea to send troops?"
Hearing this, Li? looked a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, but he muttered twice but didn't know what to say. It was superfluous to say anything at this time.
Zhu Cijiong said: "I have never counted on North Korea."
Xia Wanchun said: "Without the help of the Korean army, it might not be easy to defeat the Jiannu on the opposite side. In any case, these are three thousand white-armored soldiers."
Jiannu's probing attack just now made the Ming army certain of one thing.
It's just that this group of Jiannu are really white-armored soldiers, not just what they look like.
Just now, Jiannu faced the Ming army's salvo and came within fifty steps, firing arrows continuously at the Ming army's hollow square formation, causing dozens of casualties.
Even Zhu Cijiong also encountered danger.
A heavy arrow grazed the side of his ear and almost hit Kabuto.
It has to be said that these white-armored soldiers of Jiannu are really difficult to deal with.
Not only does it have powerful armor and stomach protection, its large bow is also accurate and ruthless.
After a pause, Xia Wanchun said again: "Fortunately, Jiannu didn't bring a carriage with him."
If the Jiannu on the opposite side had brought a carriage, the Ming army would have suffered a big loss this time.
"Jiannu didn't bring a carriage, so we didn't bring a side carriage? No one took advantage, and no one suffered a loss." Zhu Cijiong waved his hand and said, "Historical records say that when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. There is no retreat for us in this battle.
, we can only stick to the front and defeat the Jiannu, otherwise we will die here."
After a pause, Zhu Cijiong continued: "If nothing else happens, Jiannu will launch a general attack next."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wanchun immediately returned to the hollow square formation and shouted sternly: "Everyone is here, bayonets on!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Ming Army removed their sleeved bayonets from their waists, put the bayonets on the front end of the blunderbuss tubes, and then began to check and count the paper shells on their bodies.
…
Zhu Cijiong's judgment is very accurate.
Obai is indeed preparing to launch a general offensive.
Because Li Hao's words reminded him.
The Qing army could not wait any longer, because the Korean royal flag had already appeared on the top of the Changui Gate.
If the Korean monarchs and ministers were allowed to see that the Qing army was helpless against the Ming army, then the invincible image that the Qing army had finally established in the minds of the Korean monarchs and ministers would be destroyed.
Once the Qing army's invincible image was destroyed,
The betrayal of the Korean monarchs and ministers was inevitable.
After all, Korea has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years.
The closeness of the Korean monarchs and ministers to the Ming Dynasty was deep-rooted.
In view of this, the Qing army must defeat the Ming army in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, when the North Korean army comes out of the city to attack, it will be in big trouble.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Korean army is not worth mentioning, this is Seoul after all. The King of Korea can summon tens of thousands of Gyeonggi guards with a wave of his hand, but the Qing army only has three thousand guards.
At that moment, Obai shouted: "Yabulan, you Niulu are staying here to look after the horses."
"Looking at the horses?" Yabulan's face showed a look of humiliation, but he did not dare to say anything more.
After all, Niu Lu didn't do well in the probing attack just now. Master Zhang Jing cannot be blamed for this.
Oboi took off the armor and stomach from the spare war horse, and shouted sternly: "Everyone in the rest of the army should hurry up and put on their armor."
Obai gave an order, and 2,700 guardsmen from nine cattle groups took off the armor and stomach from the backs of the spare horses.
This time when they came to Korea, the three thousand guards with white flags did not bring any clothes, but each of them brought two horses, one for riding and one for carrying equipment and military supplies.
Oboi and the 2,700 guards began to put on their armor nervously.
Take off the cotton armor first, then put on the close-fitting chainmail.
After putting on the chain armor, he put on the cotton armor, and then the iron armor.
Then there are the items, shawls, etc., which are tied one by one with cowhide straps.
Finally, the heavy stomach was put on the head that had been covered with a layer of chain mail, and it was neatly dressed. This body weighed fifty or sixty kilograms, and the armor stomach of Obai weighed more than 100 pounds.
catty.
Thanks to Obai's height and strength, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to hold up this armor.
After checking the armor and stomach on his body to make sure it was not loose, he took out two knives, one long and one short, and inserted them into his belt. Then he took out the large bow from behind the saddle of the spare war horse, and finally took out a quiver from the back.
The heavy three-edged arrow was fastened to the bowstring, and then he drew it forward with a large bow, shouting loudly: "Warriors with white flags, follow me!"
】
2,700 neatly dressed men in white armor moved forward one after another.
…
On the tower of Changui Gate.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jin Yao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Qing army is about to have a decisive battle with the Ming army."
"Yes, I saw it." Li Zhu had a look of fear on his face.
This group of devil-like white-armored slave soldiers outside the city evoked the most unbearable scene in his memory.
Ten years ago, when he paid a courtesy ceremony to Huang Taiji at Santian Ferry on the south bank of the Han River, where he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, Huang Taiji was surrounded by these Baya soldiers.
These are all evil spirits.
At that moment, Li Zhu said: "Jin Qing, please prepare the five guards to attack."
The five guards are the Ui Hsing Guard, the Yong Xiang Guard, the Hu Ben Guard, the Zhong Zuo Guard and the Chung Mu Guard. They belong to the Gyeonggi Guards of North Korea and are theoretically the most capable army in North Korea.
"Your Majesty?" Jin Yu's expression suddenly changed.
In fact, Li Zhu already had a tendency in his heart, but he did not show it.
"Don't worry, Jin Qing. We are just making preparations." Li Zhu said, "If the Ming army wins outside the city, we will attack the Qing army. If the Qing army wins, we will take advantage of the situation and attack the Ming army."
"This is the safest strategy." Jin Yu was relieved.
At the same time, he ordered the generals to mobilize five guards to stand by.
…
Outside the city, the battle between the Ming and Qing armies had begun.
This time, Zhu Cijiong no longer hid, but scattered all one hundred scout cavalry equipped with rifled rifles around the hollow square formation to carry out sniper attacks.
As soon as Jiannu entered within two hundred steps, the scout cavalry began to shoot.
However, the distance of two hundred steps is still a bit far, and it cannot penetrate the triple armored stomach.
But when the slaves entered the 150th step, casualties began to appear.
A rifled rifle coupled with Mini bullets, even at a distance of 150 steps, has a chance to penetrate the triple armored stomach of a small number of Jiannu. After all, the armored stomach and the armored stomach are different.
Like the triple armor stomach on Obai, it has super high defense.
But it is impossible for ordinary Baya La to have such super high protection as Obai.
Therefore, after one hundred and fifty steps, the white-armored soldiers began to suffer casualties.
When the distance between the two sides reached a hundred steps, the casualties of the Jiannu white-armored soldiers increased sharply.
Because at this distance, not only rifled rifles, but ordinary flintlock guns also have a chance to cause damage.
Along with bursts of gunfire, clouds of white smoke rose from the Ming army formation from time to time, but the wind was strong today, so the diffuse white smoke was quickly blown away.
Zhu Cijiong looked outside the formation and saw Jiannu's white-armored soldiers approaching within a hundred steps.
The scout cavalry scattered around the phalanx were less than 80 steps away from Jiannu's white-armored soldiers. This distance had already entered the effective range of Jiannu's large bow and was no longer safe.
Zhu Cijiong immediately ordered the scout cavalry to withdraw into the square formation from the left and right wings.
Because the scout cavalry is on horseback, they can still shoot from a high position after retreating into the square formation. The infantry in front cannot block the shooting range of the scout cavalry at all.
Zhu Cijiong also pulled the trigger for the first time.
"Bang!" A tall white-armored Jiannu soldier a hundred steps ahead staggered.
Zhu Cijiong's shot accurately hit the chest of the white-armored Jiannu soldier, but failed to penetrate the triple-armored stomach and cause fatal damage. The white-armored Jiannu soldier just staggered and strode forward again.
Half a month ago outside Liaoyang City, Zhu Cijiong had shot and killed the slave Ye Bushou at a distance of 150 steps, but at that time the slave Ye Bushou was only wearing cotton armor and chainmail, not any
The most protective iron armor.
But the group of Jiannu white-armored soldiers in front of them were all wearing triple armor, including iron armor.
In fact, Zhu Cijiong's estimate was wrong. Even at a distance of a hundred steps, rifled rifle Gamini bullets could penetrate the triple armor worn by most of the white armored soldiers of the Jiannu. Otherwise, there would not have been so many casualties just now.
It's just that the white-armored soldier Zhu Cijiong targeted was a pervert, and the iron plates piercing the armor were extremely thick.
"I don't believe I can't kill you!" Zhu Cijiong grunted, taking out the paper shell bullets from the bullet bag and reloading.
After the quick reloading was completed, when Zhu Cijiong looked up again, he saw that the white-armored Jiannu soldier had already approached within eighty steps.
