There is a small mountain village at the foot of a mountain in eastern Incheon. This small mountain village that used to be peaceful and peaceful has now become a sea of fire. There are sounds of crying and wailing everywhere. Hundreds of knights in red armor are riding tall horses in the village.
Galloping back and forth, some of them were chasing the fleeing villagers with long knives high in the air, and some were holding torches and setting fires everywhere. If they encountered a man, they would kill them with their swords. If they encountered a young woman, they would snatch them up and fight with the villagers.
The difference between howling and crying is that these knights howled with excitement and screamed like wild beasts.
Among these knights was a general who was about forty years old, with a thin face and a pair of triangular eyes that always showed a fierce look. He was wearing fine red armor with blue trim, and a slender money rat tail trailing behind his head.
He has pigtails and always likes to stroke the mustache on his lips. He is the red flag Jia La Zhang Jing Gu Hato who brought his men to harvest grass in the valley. Behind him stood a dozen riders wearing white armor and looking fierce.
The knight, depending on the situation, belongs to the most elite white-armored soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Seeing those villagers with their heads dismembered or kneeling down to beg for mercy under the iron hoof of the Qing warriors, Gu Hato's heart was filled with an inexplicable pleasure. He turned to the white-armored soldiers around him and said with satisfaction: "Look
Come on, these lowly villagers who refuse to hand over their food and women will only become our victims and use their heads to atone for the sin of offending the Qing warriors."
"That's what my lord said." A ferocious-looking white-armored soldier behind Guhato grinned, and it looked even more ferocious when the scars on his face were involved.
"Those despicable ants only deserve to tremble under our swords. We Qing warriors conquered the world with our bravery. Even the Ming Dynasty trembled under our horses' hooves, not to mention these even more despicable Koreans."
After saying that, the surrounding white-armored soldiers laughed, and a smell of blood and cruelty penetrated from their smiles.
Just when their laughter had not stopped, there was a sound of galloping horse hooves from the west. The moment the sound of these horse hooves came, the laughter of these white-armored soldiers suddenly stopped. In the blink of an eye, these white-armored soldiers
The big bows originally carried on their backs were still held in their hands, and sharp arrows were already placed on the strings. They were indeed the most elite in the Qing army.
At the same time, the Qing troops who were still looting in the village also stopped looting and automatically gathered around Gu Hato.
After a while, the rapid sound of horse hooves came to the entrance of the village. A white-armored soldier watching from the front loudly reported: "Sir, he is one of our own."
After listening to the report from the white-armored soldier on guard in front, Guhato waved his hand, and the originally tense atmosphere subsided. A white-armored soldier shook his head and cursed: "Damn it, which bastard ran so fast, I still can't."
I thought it was those Korean rebels and cavalry who were attacking."
"Sir, it's Muduka Niulu, Etuo Zhenniulu and a dozen brothers who are here." Another message came from the white-armored soldiers standing guard at the head of the village.
"What are these two guys, Muduka and Etuozhen, doing here? Are you afraid that I will eat alone here?" Guhato cursed secretly.
"Call them over right away. I want to ask them what they did wrong?" Gu Hato frowned invisibly, as if something bad was about to happen.
Soon, two Qing soldiers wearing Niulu-style armor appeared in front of Guhato. They rolled and crawled in front of Guhato. Before they could speak, tears and snot poured out, and they cried loudly.
: "Sir, it's not good, the Ming army is attacking...is coming!"
There was silence for a while...and then a burst of laughter broke out.
Guhato laughed so much that he slipped off the horse. He hugged his belly and laughed loudly: "Muduka, Utuozhen, this joke is not funny. If you want to follow me in hunting grass and grain, just say so and tell the truth.
This excuse is really lame."
After Guhato finished speaking, he smiled and lightly whipped the two of them with a riding crop to show his dissatisfaction, but soon he felt that something was wrong. The two of them still looked at him blankly with sad faces, despite the snot and tears on their faces.
It just hangs on his face.
Guhato's laughter gradually dropped. He immediately felt something was wrong and grabbed Muduka's lapel. His originally strong arms trembled slightly, and his voice suddenly dropped: "Is what you said true?
?”
"Yes, sir, we did not lie. Our men and horses stationed at the seaside are finished. They are all finished!"
Looking at the two crying subordinates, Guhato's heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. He let go of Muduka's clothes, his thick body shook twice, and then he heard the strength coming from nowhere.
He shouted: "This is impossible. Did those Ming troops fall from the sky? They are hundreds of thousands of miles away from us. Even if they fight over, are the garrison in front just paper?"
Can’t even send out a warning?”
E Tuozhen on the side explained sadly: "Sir, those Ming troops did not come from the land, they came from the sea by boat."
"You damn bastards, I left a total of 1,200 people there, and 500 brave elite cavalry, how could they be wiped out by those Ming troops so quickly? How many of them came?
Ten thousand or twenty thousand?" In Guhato's view, if the Ming army did not have one to twenty thousand elites, there would be no way to annihilate the Ming army with more than a thousand elites.
"Sir, we don't know exactly how many people the Ming army has come, but before we came we saw that they had unloaded more than 3,000 soldiers from the ship."
"More than three thousand?" Guhato was like a rooster being strangled by the neck. His voice strangely rose to an octave in an instant and then suddenly stopped.
"More than a thousand of your elites were wiped out by more than three thousand Ming troops? Didn't you even wake up? Or did you lie on the ground one by one and let the Ming troops kill you?" Gu Hato's face showed disbelief.
look.
"Sir, no, we, we..." The two of them lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look up at their superiors.
"Tell me! Why were you defeated by thousands of Ming troops? There must be some reason here. Tell me quickly!" Gu Hato became furious. He was very clear about the combat effectiveness of his soldiers. Gu Hato had several times
He led his troops to invade the south for the first time. He also had a very intuitive understanding of the Ming army's position. He was convinced that with more than a thousand warriors under his command, he could go head-to-head with the seven or eight thousand Ming army without falling behind. If he wanted to defeat the Ming army in such a short period of time,
To completely annihilate the more than 1,200 soldiers he left on the coast within a short period of time, the Ming army would have to dispatch at least 10 to 20,000 people, a force ten times greater.
But now someone came to tell him that his army had been wiped out by more than 3,000 or even fewer Ming troops. This news was no less ridiculous than Nurhachi's sudden appearance.
"It's true, sir." Etuozhen swallowed, moistened his thirsty throat and continued: "Those Ming troops all took ten large ships, emerged from the sea, and then took dozens of small boats to attack
The beach was so close that we originally wanted to shoot them back with bows and arrows on the beach, but they actually installed artillery on the ship, and these artillery fired very far, so we had to move back two miles. When they came ashore,
When Bulatto and his cavalry tried to charge towards them, they were all beaten to death on the beach with firearms. We saw that the situation was not good..."
Etuo really stumbled and told everything that happened on the beach. Guhatuo and the white-armored soldiers stared with their eyes bigger than copper bells. They felt like they were listening to a fairy tale. A blunderbuss can move at three hundred paces.
Traumatic person, are you talking in your sleep? Are you sure you are talking about the blunderbuss and not the red cannon?
"So all the warriors who stayed on the coast were sacrificed?" Guhato's face turned green and red. It would be an exaggeration to chop Aminbeile's head ten times to defeat him like this.
But what makes him even more distressed is that after this battle, his Jia La changed from a main force Jia La to a dispensable role in the Zhenghongqi, and he would not be able to recover in less than twenty years.
"How long will it take for these warriors to make up for themselves?" Guhato beat his chest in distress.
Seeing Lord Jia La Zhangjing's heartbroken look, the faces of the white-armored soldiers and soldiers around him also showed an ashen and gray color. Their status matched the strength of their Jia La, and there were only three hundred left each.
Jia La, who has many soldiers, will only be reduced to the lower reaches in the future, both in terms of status in the banner and distribution of materials.
At this time, Muduka said with a bitter face: "Sir, please don't feel sorry for those warriors now. That is something we will start to consider later. The only thing we can do now is how to explain this matter to Erbeile, otherwise
Disaster is imminent."
"Yes, our second Belle is famous for his bad temper. If we tell him the news directly, we will all be stuffed into sacks and made meat patties."
"Okay, then tell me what you have gained?" Guhato asked through gritted teeth after thinking about it.
"No." The heads of the two Mudukas almost dropped to their bellies. They wished that a crack would suddenly appear on the ground so they could jump in. After the news was revealed, they would not be able to see anyone anymore. The dignified number was more than 1,200 people.
The warriors who deserved the title of Red Flag fought a decisive battle with a thousand Ming troops, and after almost annihilating the entire army, they found that they had not even lost a hair. This was really a huge shame.
After seeing the expressions of the two of them, Guhato's face turned even darker. He gritted his teeth and said to the dozen or so white-armored soldiers around him: "Now, cut off the heads of everyone in the village immediately, and decorate them immediately.
Take them, we will take them immediately to report this matter to Mr. Erbeile, do you know?"
"Sir, do you want to imitate the Han people in killing...well, manipulating the heads?" Everyone on the side was shocked...
