Pocheon.
The Mongolian attacks in Mobei became more and more fierce. Not only that, the Qing army also appeared among them.
Despite heavy casualties under the tenacious blocking of the North Korean First Division, the attack never stopped.
Seeing the Mongolian warriors dying one after another, both Gunbu and Subadi felt heartbroken. The order to retreat came to my lips several times, but I didn't dare to say it.
Right in the middle of them, Babu Hai stood tall, his hand holding the handle of the knife, and his threatening tone was clear.
"The eastern front is retreating. If we withdraw our troops and the Xia army advances eastward with all its strength, Prince Rui and Prince Su will be in trouble. I have no choice but to ask Taiji Duoduo to consider the overall situation."
Babuhai's intention is very obvious, that is, to use the sacrifice of Mobei Mongolia in exchange for the safety of the Qing army on the eastern front.
Gunbu and Subadi had troubles.
They responded to the call of the Manchus and came to North Korea, thinking that they could follow them to drink soup. But he didn't expect that the beating would hurt his muscles and bones.
If I had known this, I should have studied Shuolei and turned a deaf ear to the call of the Qing Dynasty.
If I want to regret it now, there is no other way.
They could only add troops to Pocheon's position one after another under Babu Hai's coercion.
The Qing army's ferocious attack also caused heavy losses to the Korean First Division.
"No one is allowed to retreat. What's the big deal about dying? Fix your bayonet and drive these Tatars out."
Qiao Feng was on the front line. When he saw the Mongolians rushing forward, he yelled to stabilize the morale of the troops. He picked up an iron rod as thick as his wrist, which was three meters long, and rushed forward to face the enemy.
Originally, the soldiers of the North Korean First Division were a little scared, but now they saw how ferocious their commander was, and their courage was inspired. They picked up their bayonet-equipped muskets and launched a counterattack against the Mongols.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
Qiao Feng was about two meters tall. He was wielding an iron rod weighing more than a hundred kilograms in his hand. It could be said that the devil came to the world and was unstoppable.
As the saying goes, one force can bring down ten.
At this point, he no longer needs to consider any moves during hand-to-hand combat. It's like making the iron rod round, and whoever it hits will die, and whoever it touches will be crippled.
Amidst the howling wind, his surroundings were quickly swept to the ground, and no Mongolian could stand.
Genghis Khan's descendants had never seen such a ferocious figure. They were all frightened and did not dare to approach him at all.
The Mongolians hid in the distance and secretly fired arrows at Qiao Feng, hoping to kill this ferocious beast in the world.
Qiao Feng was enjoying the fight and didn't take the Mongols' sneak attacks seriously.
If the arrow was aimed at a vital part, he would block it with his arm; if it was not a vital part, he would not even bother to deal with it.
In just half a stick of incense, he had at least a hundred arrows stuck in his body, just like a hedgehog.
But this ferocious guy was not affected at all and continued to charge forward bravely.
It is unknown how many people died under his brutality.
The will of the Mongols completely collapsed. Even if the generals held on for dear life, it was of no use. They all turned around and ran away, receding like the tide.
The position was still in the hands of the North Korean 1st Division, and the surviving soldiers cheered excitedly.
Qiao Feng threw away the iron rod in his hand and pulled out the arrows one by one.
He was wearing cotton armor, and the arrow didn't penetrate at all. As for other parts, some skin trauma will not affect anything.
Looking at the mountains of arrows in front of Qiao Feng, the soldiers looked up at them one by one, as if they were looking at gods.
After repelling the Mongolian attack, Qiao Feng returned to the headquarters. When he saw Li Yuanlao, he finally showed a worried look.
"Commander, the enemy's attack is too fierce. If we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to hold on. In my opinion, we should quickly ask for help from His Highness. If we don't mobilize the Second Marine Division, we may be in trouble."
Mr. Li Yuanlao slapped him in the face.
"That's what I meant."
The Xia Army on the northern front has a reserve force.
The Second Marine Division never participated in the war and remained in Hanyang.
Now that the situation was urgent and Zuo Mengeng received requests for help from the front line, he sent the Second Marine Division over.
With the support of this new force, the Dongducheon and Pocheon lines were once again impregnable.
At the same time, the pursuit battle on the eastern front has entered a fierce state.
All the members of the Fifth Division were like lunatics, running all the way without sleep, eating or drinking, just to eliminate more Qing troops.
In order to withdraw more troops, Dorgon and Hauge also went crazy.
They kept leaving soldiers and horses to block the retreat along the way, and were strictly ordered not to retreat.
At this time, the Qing army had strict military discipline, fought bravely, and was not afraid of life or death.
Only with their desperate blockade did the main force of the Qing army have enough time to retreat.
Even so, the fifth division's ferocious offensive still put great pressure on the Qing army.
On May 28, the 18th Regiment broke through the Qing army's defense and directly pursued Tieyuan.
They had seen the tail of the true white flag.
Max Hua and Jiang Xiuyuan were so happy that they started mobilizing for battle.
"We have traveled such a long way and suffered so much, for what? Just to destroy these Tatars. Everyone, insist once again, we must not let the enemy escape."
The forward troops of the 18th Regiment had high morale. Even though there were only more than 800 people, they still had no fear and launched a charge towards the Qing army.
They knew that as long as the Qing army was entangled, subsequent large forces would soon come up.
However, just when the 18th Regiment began to attack, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, the sound of artillery on the mountain in the distance was like thunder and waves, and then dozens of artillery shells crashed into the array.
Immediately many soldiers were killed or wounded by shells on the spot.
This caused the soldiers to panic and look for a place to hide.
Maxihua and Jiang Xiuyuan were shocked.
They were all experienced officers, and they noticed something was wrong as soon as they saw the scene.
"Why can the Qing army's artillery shoot so far?"
While talking, the Qing army's second round of shelling also began.
Jiang Xiuyuan quickly blew the whistle and told the soldiers to withdraw.
"This rate of fire is definitely not what the Qing army's artillery can achieve."
Maxhua picked up the telescope and looked at the mountains in the distance.
But just one glance left him speechless.
"Damn it, it's our artillery, how could it fall into the hands of the Qing army?"
He saw through the telescope that the Qing army had set up a long artillery array on the mountain in the distance.
Every cannon on it is clearly visible, and it is a bronze cannon produced by Xia State.
Although this kind of artillery is far from comparable to that used by the Xia army, it is much better than other artillery in the world.
In addition to being assembled for second-line troops such as the North Korean army and militia, this kind of bronze cannon is also sold in large quantities to the outside world.
But Maxihua doesn't remember when this kind of cannon was sold to the Qing army?
The result now hits Xia Jun himself.
This made him so angry that he almost vomited blood.
With no choice but to order the troops to stop, they watched the Qing army retreat in the distance.
