Chiyang Ye did not collect his cavalry and ran in front, while Goryeo's fifty light cavalry chased behind! In view of the uneven terrain on Ganghwa Island, neither side dared to speed up their horses too fast. However, even so, the three or four miles from the mountain city to the preset battlefield only took the cavalry the time of a cup of tea! Seeing that there was a vague ambush on the low ridge, Pu Yuandao was about to order his Qingqi to not underestimate the enemy's advance and sent elite troops up the mountain to conduct reconnaissance, when the Chiyang cavalry in front turned around and fired a round of fast and fierce arrows. ! Although the Yebushou were all using cavalry bows with weak bow power, because the distance between the two sides was too close, the advancing Koryo Qingqi were instantly shot down by a hail of arrows, while the remaining ones saw the Japanese pirate cavalry. They dared to launch arrows and sneak attack, so they also reined in their horses and prepared to take out bows and arrows from their double thrusters to fight back!
However, they really underestimated Chiyang Ye's shamelessness! This hodgepodge of foreigners, elite warriors, and Iron Man Army soldiers saw several people fell down by arrows from the Koryo Qingqi. They immediately clamped their legs together and rode forward. During this period, they didn't even have time to look back. Regardless of the result of his battle, he just rode forward and rushed forward without caring! How could the Koreans, who claimed to be the second largest in the Ming Dynasty, tolerate these gangsters slapping themselves in the mouth and leaving peacefully? So, without waiting for Pu Yuan Dao Pu to speak as an official, they urged their horses and bows to start chasing the former. At that moment, dozens of Chiyang Musketeers with live ammunition appeared on the cliffs on both sides. When these elite shooters equipped with early flintlock muskets saw that the Goryeo Qingqi had entered the army, they took off their disguises one after another, then picked up their muskets loaded with good gunpowder, aimed at the latter and pulled the trigger hard!
"Bang bang bang..." With a huge roar, white smoke rose up from the low mountain. Lead bullets weighing three to five cents, driven by black gunpowder, broke through the layers at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. The obstacle hit the Goryeo Qingqi who was running wildly! Due to the narrow mountain trails, it was difficult to deploy troops, so the barrage fired by dozens of flintlock guns instantly knocked off several Goryeo light cavalry wielding weapons. Then, before the Chiyang Musketeers could load their medicine, , and another round of volleys, the other ambush soldiers couldn't wait to trigger the hanging knife of the crossbow in their hands. The next moment, the short and thick crossbow arrows fell into the crowd of Goryeo Qingqi with a dull sound of breaking through the air, and several shouting and screaming people were killed. The little leader of the Imperial Camp shouted and was shot off his horse!
“?????????,?????????,??????????????????????,????????? ?????? (Stop the pursuit, stop the pursuit, the Japanese pirates have set a trap here, let’s retreat)!" After two rounds of attacks, the original fifty-one-member Goryeo Qingqi team now only has about forty people left. Now even the most reckless and foolish person knows that he or she has been ambushed by the enemy! However, it was obviously too late to know at this time, because just when they turned their horses' heads and prepared to retreat along the way they came, hemp ropes and foot-long ropes suddenly appeared in the grass and bushes on both sides of the mountain road. There is a hemp rope as thick as a thumb, which is a gift prepared in advance by the Chiyang Infantry for the Koryo Qingqi - a tripping rope!
What will happen if a running horse hits a stumbling rope? The answer is that they will trip. The Korean Qingqi was only thinking about retreating and did not see clearly the rope that suddenly tightened on the ground, so tragedy happened! First, one, two, three or four horses under the Qingqi's legs were tripped by the horse ropes and turned into rolling gourds. Then the other Goryeo Qingqiu were too close to contain their horses' momentum and were tripped by the bodies of the men and horses in front of them. , and while the Goryeo Qingqi were in chaos, Ye Buhou, who was still galloping, immediately slowed down his horse, then turned his horse's head and rushed towards them. Not only that, but even some were hidden in the grass. The Chiyang Infantry Flag Army in the bushes also silently waved their weapons and rushed towards the Korean soldiers on the ground!
That's right, in order to deal with the Goryeo Qingqi rolling and struggling on the ground as soon as possible, give enough time to clean up the scene, and ambush the main force of the Goryeo army that was coming one after another, the Chiyang Infantry soldiers who were responsible for pulling the ropes also dropped the hemp ropes in their hands and copied He raised his weapons and charged forward! This was great. The forty or so Goryeo light cavalry not only had to dodge the arrows fired from the front, but also had to deal with the spears constantly attacking from the side. In just a moment, they were strangled to death by the Chiyang Banner Army attacking from both sides. !
Next, is the highlight of today - the ambush begins! First, Chiyang Yebushou took away the surviving Goryeo war horses on the battlefield; then the infantry brought poles and ropes to transport away the wounded horses that fell to the ground and the armor and weapons from the Goryeo light cavalry. These are all good things. , to establish the puppet army in the future, oh no, it can be used when the new annexed army is added; as for the corpse of the Goryeo Qingqi, the remaining auxiliary soldiers carried it away and buried it. All traces of the battle were wiped out in a short cup of tea. Fan Hu, who cleaned up everything carefully, even had loess as fine as dust brought to the road to pave the way, trying not to let the Goryeo army under Jin Qingyuan see any clues.
“???????????????,????????????????????????????,?????? ??????????????????????????????(Chief Liu, why haven't the cavalry come back yet? You can lead a team of troops to meet them. Kick!" It took nearly two quarters of an hour before the vanguard of the Goryeo Crusade Army arrived at the preset battlefield. Looking at the silent cliffs, woods, and waist-deep grass, Jianghua left-behind Jin Qingyuan stroked his long beard, then stretched out the riding whip in his hand and pointed it at the mountain road between the two mountains. The next moment, Liu Haoran, the captain of his personal soldiers, rode there and led his troops to rush there! Although he was a civil servant with little command experience, none of the light cavalry that went to chase the enemy came back, which made him wary, so he sent his own captain with a team of capable soldiers to go forward as a large army. On the way, I looked for the Qingqi team who didn't know where they were having fun. Until now, the poor left-behind man didn't know that the Qingqi team he relied on as his trump card had been completely wiped out. He only knew that these Qiu Bayi moneymen were chasing the enemy. The cavalry went smoothly, and now they were following the Japanese pirate cavalry in pursuit!
He handed over his hand and obeyed the order. Although Liu Haoran's name was gentle and gentle, he was a tall and strong man who was rare among Koreans. Therefore, after receiving the fate of the eldest man who stayed behind at home, this guy immediately lit up twenty or thirty people. The strong and powerful sergeant from the imperial camp rode towards the depths of the mountain road! First there were one rider, then two riders, then ten riders, then twenty riders. Soon, Liu Haoran led the remaining thirty or so riders on Ganghwa Island through the passage between the two mountains. What was surprising was that the original riders kept moving toward them. The Chiyang Banner Army, which dropped lead bullets and arrows, and used horse ropes to trip up Goryeo Qingqi, actually stood still this time! Not only did they sit back and watch the former ride their horses safely through the valley road, but they also turned a blind eye to the entry of the main force of the Goryeo Crusade Army. All this did not change until half of the Ganghwa defenders passed through the valley road!
"Light the explosive barrel and throw the bottle bomb down hard!" At the top of the cliff, Fan Huzi and Wang Tang carefully looked down. On the relatively flat mountain road between the two mountains, there were three people standing in a row at the moment. A large number of Goryeo imperial camp sergeants were walking. They all wore big hats and black military uniforms, and held various cold weapons in their hands. Although they were not walking fast, they were not too slow. There are also some gray cloth musketeers holding bird muskets mixed in. These Goryeo elite tiger-catching soldiers should not have appeared here, but because of an eye-catching white-fronted tiger that appeared near the mountain city at some time, threatening the mountain city. The residents there lived a normal life, so the King of Goryeo sent a team of twenty people to the island to hunt tigers. Therefore, at this time, Jianghua, the commander of the expeditionary army, was left behind for the Jinqing expedition to provide support for the imperial camp, which was worried about its combat power. Hall soldiers and volunteers came to escort us! Therefore, in the eyes of Fan Huzi, Wang Tang and other Chiyang officers, there appeared a Goryeo musketry unit armed with matchlock guns, agile and skilled in combat!
However, this does not have much impact on the development of the situation! After seeing most of the Goryeo brigade entering the ambush, Fan Huzi decisively ordered his soldiers to wave the communication flag. The next moment, the Chiyang Banner troops on the ridges on both sides stood up from their hiding places, holding the powder cartridges and wine in their hands. The bottle bombs were ignited and then dropped, and before the explosion could be heard, dozens or hundreds of gunpowder cartridges were thrown down, and the bottle bombs were dropped. Next, it was just a matter of waiting quietly! More than a hundred homemade explosives fell from a ridge tens of meters high. The carefully calculated fuse finally burned out when it reached ten to fifteen meters above the Korean army. In an instant, a huge explosion sounded in the originally quiet place. The sound of thunder continued in the canyon, and the expanding gunpowder gas not only directly disrupted the marching columns of the Goryeo Army, but the lead bullets, nails, pebbles, and broken porcelain shards that were scattered in all directions were like cutting wheat, knocking down many unprepared defenders. Sergeant in the battalion hall, for a moment, there were cries of mourning and blood flowing in the valley. It was like entering Abi Hell in an instant!
However, this was just the beginning. After the Chiyang Banner Army saw the gunpowder barrels and wine bottle bomb attacks, except for half of their troops who were sent down to shoot blunderbuss into the valley, the others immediately lit the explosive barrels and wine bottle bombs in their hands and continued. Throwing it down, the Korean army in the valley was hit by lead bullets, iron nails, and broken porcelain one after another, which had already caused a lot of casualties. At this moment, seeing the sizzling explosives appear above their heads again, they were heartbroken. Under the crack, I couldn't help but start to think about retreating. Some of the guys who reacted faster had even started to put it into practice. They slowly moved towards the way they came, ready to run away if something went wrong!
“??????,?????????,??????????,?????????????,?????? ???(bastard, don't retreat, don't retreat, anyone who retreats without permission will be killed without mercy)!" Gunshots, people die! The soldiers of the Tiger Catching Army were indeed the most elite troops in Goryeo. They were keenly aware that something was wrong when the explosives fell. Not only did they throw the panicked Jianghua Liubei Lord and Jianghua County Sheriff off their horses, they also used their own bodies to kill them. They were well protected, but now they saw that the ordinary soldiers in the imperial camp were shaken due to the heavy casualties, and they immediately opened fire on these cowardly companions with their matchlocks!
