Namhansanseong Fortress In the temporary residence of North Korean leader Lee Joon, Lee Joon and his wife and all the North Korean ministers gathered together. There were two more dark circles around the corners of Li Joo's eyes, obviously because he did not get a good rest last night.
At this time, the ministers sitting in front of him also had different expressions. Many officials showed anxious expressions on their faces. Only Li Junjie, the Li Cao judge, and Jin Shiyan, the Bing Cao judge, were still sitting on their stools expressionlessly.
But careful people can still notice that the hands of the two men exposed outside their sleeves are shaking slightly.
Li Zhu nervously asked the concubine beside him: "My dear concubine, do you think General Pang can repel the Qing soldiers?"
Concubine Xian gave her husband a helpless look and said, "Your Highness, you have asked me for the seventh time. Don't worry. Even if you can't repel the Qing soldiers, General Pang can still retreat. He will be fine."
Concubine Xian's little hand went through the large sleeve robe and gently held her husband's hand to express comfort. Although she was very nervous, she still tried her best to comfort her husband's mood in her own way.
North Korea was extremely worried about Pang Gang's night attack on the Qing army camp. They were afraid that if the sneak attack failed and suffered heavy losses, North Korea would be in danger again. At this time, North Korea did not notice it. Now
They have unknowingly relied on Pang Gang's protection. But even if they are aware of it, they probably won't think there is anything wrong in their hearts. The Ming Dynasty has been the protective umbrella of North Korea for more than two hundred years, and this perception has also changed.
Going deep into the thinking of the subjects of North Korea, they did not have the slightest resistance to the protection from the mother country. Instead, they took it for granted. The mother country should protect the vassal countries, right?
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the front, and soon a North Korean soldier panted outside the hall. An excited voice reported loudly: "Reporting to the Lord, the battle report from the front, General Pang has already arrived."
We defeated the Qing army camp and wiped out more than 10,000 enemies. Now the Qing army is retreating towards Kaicheng. General Pang is chasing with a large army. I now order the villain to come and let the king send a large army to pursue the Qing army."
"boom......."
The sudden burst of good news made the whole hall excited.
"Great, those brutal Qing troops were finally driven away."
"Yeah, we don't have to huddle in this small town anymore."
When the good news came, everyone cheered up and the anxious atmosphere in the hall was swept away.
Li Zhuo's originally pale face turned strangely flushed. He stood up excitedly, rubbed his hands and walked back and forth in front of his seat while speaking loudly.
"Okay, we must send a large army to cooperate with General Pang to drive the Qing army out of North Korea!" At this time, Li Zhu was already so excited that he was a little incoherent.
So much so that Jin Shiyan, the military judge next to him, had to remind Li Yan, "Your Highness, you have forgotten that Nanhan Mountain City only has more than 2,000 troops. Now we simply do not have any extra troops to support General Pang."
"Well!"
Bing Cao's words seemed to pour cold water on Li Zhu. Yes, without an army, what could they do to support the Ming army?
At this time, Li Junjie, the elderly Li Cao judge next to him, said tentatively: "How about we summon nearby farmers and ask them to enlist in the army urgently, and then cooperate with the Ming army's attack."
"Isn't this asking them to die?" Li Shu glared at the old man angrily. Even a military novice like him knew that letting untrained farmers fight against the brutal Qing troops was tantamount to driving away the sheep.
Into the wolf's mouth.
"No, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation." Li Junjie saw everyone staring at him with dissatisfaction. He was afraid that he would bear the reputation of someone who cares about human life. He quickly explained: "Your Highness, this is what I think. Now between the Ming army and the Ming Dynasty,
So we are asked to send out a large army to cooperate with their actions, just because we are afraid that no one will be able to defend the city after we capture it. Our temporarily recruited soldiers cannot fight, but there is no problem in defending the city. In this way, we can not only train the new soldiers, but also defend the city.
It can also help the Ming army, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
"Hey!" Li Zhu glanced at Li Junjie in surprise, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect this old man to be quite quick-witted."
However, he did not rush to make a statement. Instead, he turned to Jin Shiyan and asked: "Jin Aiqing, what do you think of Li Banshu's plan?"
"I think this plan is feasible." Jin Shiyan thought for a while and felt that Li Junjie, the Li Cao judge, finally did not have a bad idea. At least this plan is still feasible.
"Well, in that case, we will first recruit five thousand... no... first recruit ten thousand new soldiers. We must not have a situation where the city is captured but no one is stationed."
Li Zhu looked unusually heroic at this time, waving and gesticulating as if he was satisfied. The concubine beside him wanted to remind him a few words, but seeing that her husband was rarely happy, she let him go.
At this time, on September 7, the ninth year of Chongzhen, after half a month of pursuit, Amin returned the territory he originally occupied to the Koreans. At this time, he had been driven to Sinuiju by Pang Gang, and further on was
It was the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
Looking at the land in front of them, Amin, who never knew what tears were, couldn't help crying. The past half month was a nightmare. The Ming army behind them had cavalry as the forerunner and infantry as the backbone.
He followed their footsteps intermittently and continued to pursue them. During the pursuit, the Qing army suffered heavy losses. His 20,000 remnant troops plus the 10,000 troops originally stationed everywhere, a total of 30,000 troops, were lost in this half month.
On the way to escape, nearly half a centaur was eaten by Pang Gang.
It’s not like Amin didn’t think about hitting the force and having a decisive battle with the evil Ming army behind him. Unexpectedly, those Ming troops relied on the fast maneuverability of the cavalry to implement a hit-and-run tactic against the Qing army. Originally, the Ming army
The cavalry team did not pose a great threat to the Qing army. The reason was that their bow and horse riding skills were far inferior to those of the Qing army. When competing with the Qing army, they would be at a disadvantage nine times out of ten.
After the cavalry of the Ming army were equipped with such evil firearms a few days ago, the nightmare of the Qing army came.
The cavalry prime ministers of the Ming Army used the maneuverability of their horses to fall far behind the Qing troops, and then used the long-range firearms in their hands to keep shooting from a distance, constantly shooting the Qing soldiers behind them off their horses, so that later
The Qing soldiers called the task of being in charge of the rear a "death mission"!
Amin jumped off his horse, knelt down and cried loudly facing the surging Yalu River. He finally came back alive, and finally no longer had to be afraid of those damn Ming troops behind him. Behind him at this time were more than 10,000 people.
The Qing soldiers were as terrified as him.
At this time, a few miles behind Amin, Pang Gang was riding on a war horse. The telescope in front of him saw the endless river. This river originates from the southern foot of Changbai Mountain and flows through Changbai, Linjiang, and Kuandian.
, Dandong and other places, flowing southwest along the border between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, gathering tributaries such as the Hunjiang River, the Xuchuan River, and the Tulu River. The river stretches for 795 kilometers and nurtures a land of 64,000 square kilometers and the land of Liaodong.
Countless people, and now it appears before their eyes.
"What a beautiful river!" Pang Gang exhaled a long breath. Although his face was already covered with unkempt beard due to not being trimmed for half a month, a kind of hair could still be seen on his face.
Joy from within.
"Sir, should we continue to pursue him and try to kill some of his troops? His tired troops don't have much fighting power even if they are humble." Li Yuan next to him asked eagerly, still eager to try.
"No." Pang Gang shook his head, "Although they are tired now, we are not much better, and the most important thing is...their reinforcements should be arriving soon."
Yes, just when Amin rushed to the Yalu River, the reinforcements sent by Huang Taiji finally arrived. A five-member army was led by Dorgon, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, who was known as the most capable and cunning Prince Rui in the Qing Dynasty.
The elite support force of the Wanqing Army also arrived at the Yalu River.
When Dorgon saw Amin, he couldn't believe his eyes. Was the person in front of him really his cousin who always held his head high and had a murderous look in his eyes?
"Er Beile, why are you like this?" Dorgon looked at the ragged Amin in front of him, whose face turned dark because he hadn't washed his face for a long time, and asked in surprise: "Er Beile, where is your army?
,How come there are so few people left?”
Seeing Dorgon's arrival, Amin was happy and ashamed at the same time. He lowered his head and said with a sad face: "Fourteenth brother, it's me who is useless. I betrayed the emperor's trust. Now this is all that's left of the 50,000-strong army."
Order someone?"
"What?" When Dorgon heard this, he swayed and almost fell off his horse.
"Impossible, no matter how powerful Pang Gang is, if you can't beat him, why can't he withdraw? Why are the losses so huge!" Dorgon's tone was full of shock and anger. He knew the fighting power of the Qing warriors, not to mention
The Zhenghong Banner and the elite men with red flags brought by Amin were not far behind the Zhengbai Banner under his command. Even if they were to face hundreds of thousands of Ming army elites, they would not be afraid at all. To take a step back, even if they could not defeat Pang
Gang, even if you were defeated, you wouldn't lose so miserably, right? If you can't beat me, can't you still not be able to run?
"Their firearms and artillery are very sharp, and our army's mobility advantage in the mountainous areas cannot be used at all. They relied on the strength of their firearms to follow us all the way to the Yalu River, and our men and horses were eaten by them piece by piece.
." Anyway, A Min was not afraid to tell the truth since he had already lost his face at his grandma's house.
"Pang Gang" Dorgon said in a low voice while looking at the rolling river water in front of him: "This man will definitely become a serious problem for the Qing Dynasty in the future!"
