Goryeo, Gyeonggi-do, Mongchontoseong.
"Retreat, retreat quickly. The Koreans are using those small cannons that can shoot thunderbolts again. Our armor can't withstand it. We'd better retreat quickly. When Sergen Tuer really captures enough Korean Aha, we If we launch another attack, the precious lives of the warriors cannot be wasted here..."
Seeing the soldiers in the opponent's formation raising the small cannon made of pig iron again, Gurmahun immediately ordered his Eight Banners Selectmen to withdraw from the formation! It's not that he is cowardly, it's because there are few Manchus, especially the young men who can fight. Therefore, every Jurchen commander with brains is not willing to suffer excessive losses unless necessary! Especially this kind of meaningless war of attrition, Gurmahun is even less willing for his warriors to fight such a bad war! Therefore, the clarion call for withdrawal soon sounded in the slowly advancing Manchu and Qing army formations!
"Bang bang bang..."
As if to say goodbye to the rebels, a cylindrical bomb that sometimes exploded and sometimes failed to explode accurately hit the retreating Manchu and Qing troops! The next moment, twelve heavy artillery shells exploded in the crowd. The flying lead bullets and iron slag instantly knocked down several Eight Banners elite soldiers who were close to them. The other Eight Banners soldiers took a bad look at it. They immediately accelerated their retreat. They didn't want to be injured by those explosive thunderbolts! It should be noted that in today's era, injury means death. Even if you don't die on the spot, you will die of suppuration and tetanus in the future! As a result, with the continuous explosions of the landing, a large area around the trench was quickly cleared. The Eight Banners soldiers who were eager to retreat did not even have time to carry away the wounded, and they withdrew completely, leaving only a few injured. The unlucky guy was lying on the ground and howling miserably!
"Hmph, you can run fast. If you run any slower, I will have to leave you all here..."
Looking at the Eight Banners army retreating again, Chen An spat on the ground with disdain! This is the Eight Banners force that is said to be invincible. Before our side even used the Crouching Tiger Cannon, Fo Langji repelled them several times. If the firepower was fully used, most of them could be annihilated in a matter of minutes! Upon thinking of this, the latter immediately ordered the three Tiger Crouching Cannons and two Little Wolf Machines assigned to him to adjust the firing angle and prepare to bombard the Eight Banners savages who were retreating hastily!
"This means we need to march lightly and without cannons, otherwise, we have to force them to taste the bombardment! Damn, what the hell, a bunch of fearless Nikans, if they have the guts, they will come out and fight with us men face to face. The drums are high and low, and what kind of hero is he hiding behind the ditch?"
Thinking the same as Chen An, the commander of the Eight Banners Soldiers, Little Belgurmahun, also spat on the ground at this moment! This man who was born in the Manchu clan has always been a hero who kills famous heroes with one sword and one shot, but he despises the despicable people who hide in the dark and hurt people with cold arrows. However, Chiyang, a shrink who relies on sharp guns and cannons and strong fortifications to fight, The turtle happened to be his least favorite. But it's useless if he doesn't like it, because Chiyang doesn't need his likes at all. Not only does he not need his likes, but he has also introduced the Tiger Crouching Cannon and the Little Wolf Machine. If he doesn't leave, he will have to eat the cannon!
Two hours later.
"Master, after our continuous search, we have captured more than 300 Goryeo civilians. Can you please bring them all up to fight for us now?"
As the sun set, the Eight Banners Xia troops who went out to search for Korean people to serve as cannon fodder finally came back. They escorted more than 300 Korean people and returned exhausted to the temporary camp four miles outside Mengcun Tucheng! After the Eight Banners elite soldiers under Little Beilgurmahun failed to attack the Chiyang position again, only a few elite soldiers were left to monitor from a distance, while the main force retreated to the place where they had previously set out and began to build an overnight camp. This familiar The Manchu clan of the Qing Dynasty in the Han Dynasty knew well that haste makes waste, so they did not lead the army to attack the strong fortifications held by Chiyang. Instead, they chose to lead the army to retreat temporarily, avoid Chiyang's sharp edge, and wait for the servant army to escort the Goryeo people. After arriving, launch an attack on the latter!
"Don't worry, it's already the end of the day. We don't need to attack the enemy overnight. You're tired after a long day of work. Let's go down and rest first! Until tomorrow, we'll eat and drink enough to build up our strength. Take the earth city guarded by the Koreans in one fell swoop! Brother Sorgentu, the Goshihars of Benbele have roasted a fat sheep outside their tent, let’s go and enjoy it first..."
Mengcun Tucheng, Chiyang temporary camp.
"Lord Temperance Envoy, the messengers we sent to Namhan Mountain City have returned. They brought us a piece of news, a priceless piece of news!"
Just when Gurma Hui's Eight Banners Army set up camp early, slaughtered sheep and cooked cattle, and prepared for a good repair, Chiyang's mobile sentry outside also brought Kang Lin a few people wearing foam nail cotton. A, the guests wearing pointed helmets, they are the messengers sent by Li Chengxuan to contact Cui Mingji. For the sake of safety, these people all changed into the attire of Eight Banners soldiers. There is even a guy among them who can speak Jurchen language. Therefore, in just half a day, they, who were familiar with the terrain, followed various forest trails, avoiding the Eight Banners outposts, and arrived at Nanhan Mountain City. After meeting Mr. Cui Mingji who was trapped in the isolated city, these people returned to the starting point along the way they came. During the process, they also knocked out two Eight Banners soldiers who were killing people and robbing money and brought them back. The so-called important information was extracted from the mouths of these two prisoners. In order to obtain useful information, the ruthless Koreans broke several of the former's ribs. Later, the Eight Banners soldiers could not bear the pain, so they finally He told everything he knew, and among them, there was a piece of news that made people’s eyes light up! :
"Are you saying that tomorrow night, the Great Belza Saktu, the clan Abatai, the minister Vulkun, and General Orohui will lead 3,000 Manba Banners and 3,000 Han Army Banners to cross the Ganghwa Strait and attack the Ganghwa Remaining Division? Is this news? It’s reliable, don’t let those cunning fox-like *** fool you!”
Listening to the important news brought back by the messenger, Kang Lin couldn't help but show a look of interest! Yes, in the daytime battles, Chiyang relied on its solid fortifications, sharp artillery fire, and strict organization to repel the attacks of the Manchurian soldiers several times. Even the elite white-armored soldiers were unable to defeat them. Like this, but after all, Chiyang was born in the navy, and what he is best at is fighting on the water. If possible, they would still prefer to fight the enemy on a sailboat. Now is the opportunity! Li Chengxuan's master, the Right Councilor of Goryeo, and the official Cao judge, Cui Mingji, only asked Chiyang to send troops to attract the attention of some Manchu troops, thereby reducing the defensive pressure on Nanhan Mountain City. There was no requirement that Kanglin's troops must be in If we can fight to the death with the Eight Banners on land and eliminate a few of the latter in an organized manner, water battles are not out of the question!
Therefore, after receiving repeated confirmation from the messenger, Mr. Kanglin Kangdae, the newly minted Jeolla Province navy commander, decided to abandon the land stronghold of Mongchon Toseong and withdraw to the ship overnight, and then send troops to Ganghwa Remaining Division! To be honest, compared to the unfamiliar Gyeonggi Province, Chiyang is more familiar to that place! After all, the latter had just made a fuss there a few months ago, and going there now is like a daughter-in-law returning to her parents' home - a familiar family and a familiar road. Upon thinking of this, Kang Lin, the leader of Chiyang, immediately ordered his regular flag troops, reserve troops, and new auxiliary troops to evacuate Mengcun Tucheng in sequence, leaving the position covered with caltrops, mines, and bamboo sticks to Gurmahun. The Manchu and Qing armies under his command! During this period, in order to confuse and delay the latter, this fellow ordered his guards to tie several fat goats with drumsticks and beat the big and small drums in the camp continuously. This is what is called hanging sheep drumming in ancient books!
"My Lord, after all, the Tartars are elite soldiers who have fought many battles. Let's get a few sheep to play drums here. We shouldn't be able to fool them for a long time. How about letting the two captains Tuge Timur and Humas lead the troops to cut off the rear? They have horses. If the situation goes wrong, they can immediately retreat on horseback. Secondly, they are all types of troops released by the experience card, so it would not be a pity to lose them..."
Hanging sheep drumming is a great idea, but Chang Jiansheng feels it is not enough! After all, the Eight Banners soldiers under Gurma Hui are all battlefield veterans with rich combat experience. Over time, they will definitely become suspicious of the enemy camp where the sound of drums is constantly heard. By then, only one or two elite scouts will be able to pierce through this layer of window paper when they come close to conduct reconnaissance, but it will be different if dozens of elite cavalry are left behind. They can not only eliminate those scout soldiers who secretly come to conduct reconnaissance, but also can Many noises were made inside and outside, proving that the main force of Chiyang was still there to paralyze those Jurchen barbarians who were very proud of themselves!
Therefore, this guy put forward the suggestion to his lord, Tamluo Governor Kang Lin, to keep people behind. In his opinion, Tuge Timur and Humas' troops were all experimental units that were opened from treasure chests. Even if they are all folded here, it will not have much impact on our own side. It is better to take advantage of the current maintenance time and use your remaining heat for Chiyang! And Kang Lin nodded and agreed to his proposal after repeated thinking. It's not that this guy is cruel, it's Chi Yang.
Among all armies, the status of experienced troops is the lowest. Rather than destroying the regular flag army and reserve troops that can exist for a long time, it is better to keep them behind! Anyway, when the time comes, these experience units will disappear no matter what! Upon thinking of this, Kang Lin immediately ordered all the ministries to evacuate Mengcun Tucheng one by one with their mouths in the mouth, their horses bound and their hooves bound, leaving only an empty camp, dozens of elite riders, and four or five struggling goats, leaving only an empty camp for the ignorant and ignorant Gu. Erma Hui and his party!
"Quick, quick, quick, everyone, please move faster and remember not to make too much noise. We will be safe when we get to the boat..."
Just do it. Chiyang's nearly a thousand troops packed up their gear within half an hour. Then, under the command of their respective sentry commanders, they walked on the dirt road leading to the seaside in the dark. During this period, everyone was asked not to speak. Make sure to light the torch in order not to alert the Japanese troops who are four or five miles away from Tucheng. In order to speed up the march, even Kanglin Kangda, the garrison, personally went out with his own guards to help the artillery team transport the artillery. Fortunately, it didn't rain these days, otherwise Chiyang would have to abandon those hard-won and extremely heavy cannons. Hongyi cannon!
