Chapter 331 Bukhan Mountain Castle
"What are they shouting?"
Chen Cao frowned. Not only could he not understand the Korean language, he could not understand the jabbering Jurchen dialect even more.
The interpreter who accompanied the army came and told Chen Cao the content of Solantu's shout. At this time, deputy division commander Gao Qingnian ran over: "Your Majesty, the Tatar cavalry has escaped."
rub...
Chen Cao stood up and scolded Cao Shixiu angrily: "Cao Shixiu, this bastard, can't keep a cavalry of less than 3,000 men. How many people in the forward regiment died?"
The lives of the soldiers of Liang Fan were precious. Chen Cao would not make such a decision to trade lives for lives, but he had the motive of seduction.
Xu Fuyuan bowed: "My lord, please calm down. The Jiannu cavalry is really powerful in cavalry and shooting. It's dark night, so we can't blame Master Cao entirely."
Chen Cao looked Xu Fuyuan up and down and found him a little hairy. However, Chen Cao also took a deep breath. What Xu Fuyuan said was indeed reasonable. Back then, the slaves who built Xiping Fort were attacked by flintlock guns and still broke Chen Cao's formation, and although the rifle's lethality and distance are more powerful than the flintlock rifle, the rifle at the moment has another disadvantage, that is, every time a shot is fired, a bullet must be loaded into the magazine, and the speed is only faster than that of the flintlock rifle. A little bit.
"Send the order to Cao Shixiu and rush forward. If Amin calls Jin to withdraw his troops, it must be Liu Xingzuo and the others who have arrived."
"yes..."
Although Amin chose to retreat, he also left the North Korean army responsible for breaking up the rear, and they were fighting and leaving. If the North Korean army wanted to retreat, they had to wait for the big gold masters in front to take a step before they could take a step. Perhaps because they were facing death. , these Korean troops were particularly powerful when the rear was cut off, which caused a lot of obstacles to Chen Cao.
At dawn, after Chen Cao captured the entire Amin camp, he discovered that not a single real Tatar among them was killed.
Angry, Chen Cao set fire to Amin's camp.
"What?"
Chen Cao was a little confused: "Who ordered them to go?"
People around him did not dare to talk to him. Liu Xingzuo was appointed as the general of Liaodong and controlled Zhang Yingwu's 52nd Division. They pursued Amin to Beihan Mountain City and could only be ordered by Liu Xingzuo.
However, Chen Cao was not worried that Liu Xingzuo would be fooled. He was just worried that this guy would attack Beihan Mountain City for revenge.
"Send the order and set off for Bukhan Mountain Castle immediately."
Tang Yannian also fought all night, but when it was dawn and he discovered that Gu Ermahun at the foot of the mountain had run away, he took the men of the third division towards Beihan Mountain City without a second thought. This was the agreed plan between Chen Cao and him.
Riding a fast horse into Hanyang City, Li Jie soon learned the news that the Jin soldiers were defeated and left.
After a long time, Han Jinzhe led people into the Crown Prince's Mansion: "Under the mansion, the Ming army stationed at Muyue Mountain is heading northeast, maybe the target is Beihan Mountain City."
Shen Shijun, who came later, also brought someone with him, Song Jiuzhe, who was in charge of the Central Government Office.
Song Jiuzhe is a typical fence-sitting sect, but he also has a more conspicuous identity, that is, Lao Taishan, the father-in-law of the current Ayahara Lord Li Er.
"North Korea must be in the hands of North Koreans."
After Li Ji saw Song Jiuzhe, he spoke righteously.
Song Jiuzhe saluted Li Li, and then said: "My lord, I understand."
Li Li looked at Han Jinzhe, who clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, Lord Ayara is now in control of the Jianghua Remaining Division, and there are five thousand elites who followed him."
Shen Shijun looked at Song Jiuzhe: "The future of North Korea is entirely in the hands of the public..."
.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible... hehe... hahaha..."
Chen Cao smiled under Beihan Mountain City as if he was losing his mind, and then returned to normal: "Amin just quit like this?"
An hour later, Liu Xingzuo rushed back with Zhang Yingwu, looking a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the general is guilty..."
Chen Cao was indeed a little surprised when Liu Xingzuo captured Beihan Mountain City, but it was only now that he figured out that Amin had retreated when the 52nd Division, which was chasing after them, had just arrived at Beihan Mountain City. Zhang Yingwu, who was eager to make contributions, asked Liu Xingzuo for instructions. Then he continued the pursuit;
As a result, they were ambushed at Lixian Pass under the Boutique Pavilion, and they lost nearly a regiment of troops before they were able to retreat.
Chen Cao did not punish Zhang Yingwu. After all, the 52nd Division had won consecutive battles, and Chen Cao had always looked out for Zhang Wenda and Zhang Yingying, so he would not say anything excessive to Zhang Yingwu.
"I've suffered a loss, but what's the gain?"
Zhang Yingwu glanced at Liu Xingzuo, and then Liu Xingzuo said: "Amin retreated to Biti Pavilion. The general guessed that he wanted to fight our army in Biti Pavilion."
Chen Cao frowned: "Bi Ti Pavilion?"
Xu Fuyuan said at this time: "Your Majesty, when students were studying war history, they had seen the records of the Korean War. At that time, Ning Yuanbo Li Rusong suffered a defeat at Bi Tie Guan, thus allowing the Japanese troops to withdraw."
Chen Cao had heard this matter several times from Toyotomi Hideyori, and also from Shimazu.
"To the northeast of Byokjekan is the Shinwon River and to the northwest is the Fuka River. There is a huge plain space between the two mountains. At that time, the leader of the Japanese army, Ukita Hideie, was stationed here, and our Ming army had many cavalry, and General Li also Making good use of the cavalry, we prepared for a decisive battle with the Japanese army on the plain in front of Byokjeokwan. Unexpectedly, it rained heavily during the battle, and the Japanese army ambushed me. Fortunately, our Ming army was brave and good at fighting, and both sides finally escaped... "
Chen Cao still knew about this matter, but what was recorded in the Ming Dynasty was different from that of the Japanese army. At least at that time, Ukita Hideie said that he had arranged a lot of surprise troops from the two rivers. In addition, it happened to rain heavily, so Li Rusong's firearms could not be fired;
However, Ukita Hideie also admitted that because it was a plain area, their Japanese cavalry was too few and they were no match for Li Rusong's cavalry, so he asked Li Rusong to retreat.
Therefore, when Xu Fuyuan mentioned this matter, Chen Cao immediately became concerned.
"Amin wants to take advantage of the terrain of Biti Hall to take advantage of their slave cavalry..."
As Chen Cao spoke, he once again thought of Ukita Hideie's emotional look when discussing this matter. He couldn't help but decided to help Amin and apply Ukita Hideie's strategy. At that time, even if it rained, Amin could be wiped out in the plain area. Min's army.
"Is Tang Yan here?"
"The forward regiment of the Third Division is almost here. Commander Tang is coming with a large force."
.
"Baylor..."
A messenger rode into the Biti Hall camp with a bright yellow command flag on his back, so he did not need to dismount: "The Great Khan ordered San Beile to lead the army south to assist Beile in annihilating the Ming army that landed in North Korea. "
The messenger left after saying that. Amin's face was a little cold, and then he looked at Solantu who was standing aside and had just escaped from death: "How was the battle last night?"
Solantu knelt down on one knee and said: "The muskets were fired in front of the Ming Dog formation. The slaves led the army to break through their forward position. Due to the terrain and weather, the subordinates were unable to exert their power. They were surrounded by Ming Dogs, but the slaves were also hit. Their ambush.”
"You know better than to retreat..."
When Solantu heard Amin's words, his heart suddenly became cold. He had been lost in front of Hanyang City for a while. If he had been defeated again last night, even his mother's Fucha family would not be able to save him: "The slave is dead. We can’t lose the master’s face either.”
"snort..."
Hearing Amin's cold snort, Solantu let out a long sigh of relief, and it was considered that he had passed the test.
"You dare to come and join in the fun..."
Mang Gurtai is a reckless man. Although Amin is reckless, he is not blindly stupid. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not have allowed Amin to lead the army to conquer North Korea twice.
In the evening, hundreds of Buddhist slaves riding gold rat tails rushed into the Biti Hall camp. A strong man led by him jumped off his horse and shouted: "Amin..."
Amin was sitting in the big tent. When he saw Mang Gurtai come in, he stood up and said with a smile: "Lao Wu, are you here to monitor me?"
Mang Gurtai supported Huang Taiji's rise to power. Everyone in Jurchen knew that he was straight-tempered and would not pretend to be confused, so he said: "The Great Khan doesn't care about it. Before I leave, let me tell you to serve Dajin well."
Amin cupped his hands towards the northeast, and then asked: "How is it going this time?"
Mang Gurtai pointed to a man dressed as a scribe next to him: "Mr. Ning, come here..."
Ning Wanwo is Huang Taiji's confidant. Although he was awarded the military rank of military commander and the worldly rank of imperial guard last year, his status is different. When Amin saw Ning Wanwo, he stepped out and held his hand. : "It turns out to be Mr. Ning, Amin was rude..."
Ning Wan, like Fan Wencheng, was originally a scholar from Liaodong. After joining Nurhachi, the tide has risen, and now he has become Huang Taiji's confidant: "Second Beile is too modest. This time the Great Khan ordered his subordinates to follow Three Beile. , mainly because of the Korean War."
Amin naturally knew that he was rude to Mang Gurtai, but I didn't dare to treat Ning Wan, so he nodded: "The leader of the Ming army this time is Chen Cao."
"Hey...we all know..."
Mang Gurtai said: "Ten days after Chen Cao set off, Khan received the news and made preparations immediately."
Amin thought to himself that these people had arrived not long after his official documents were gone. Unexpectedly, he had received the news a long time ago: "That's right, I led my army to fight with the Ming army several times in the past two days, but I didn't occupy much territory. Cheap."
Mang Gurtai waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, the Great Khan mobilized a hundred thousand troops to go south this time, just for that..."
"All his efforts are accomplished in one battle..."
"Oh yes..." Mang Gurtai nodded: "That's the reason. Our Dajin Warriors alone have mobilized 10,000 men from the Red Banner and the Yellow Banner, and there are also 5,000 men from the newly attached Mongolian Green Tribe. The rest are the various units of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The cavalry will arrive in another hour, and the infantry will have to arrive around tomorrow night."
Ning Wan and I waited until Mang Gurtai finished speaking before handing over: "I wonder if Erbeile has specific arrangements for this decisive battle?"
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Ning..."
Mang Gurtai said: "The Great Khan said that you, my second brother, are capable of doing things. Even in this battle, I will listen to your command. I will let you make the decision first about the decisive battle. If it doesn't work, let Mr. Ning assist."
Amin bowed his head again: "I have won the trust of the Khan, Amin is ashamed..."
