Koryo, Tamra, and Huanggang.
Go back to two days ago! Just as Jin Qingyuan rode a carriage and hurriedly left Jeju City with more than a dozen guards, the regular flag troops of the two divisions, the reserve troops of the two divisions, and the new auxiliary troops of the two brigades were also severely punished by the military joining department of the garrison. The four organized themselves and started heading towards the deserted port where the capital supervisory army was being trained! Following the marks left by the shadow agents, it took them just over a day to get ahead of Jin Qingyuan and arrive at a place less than five miles away from the deserted port. They quietly waited for the observation envoy who had fled so unprofessionally. arrival!
In order to catch the Koreans by surprise this time, Chiyang Base Camp really deployed all its elites! In addition to the two regular combat divisions, the two preparatory combat divisions, and the 800 new auxiliary armies that have been battle-tested for a long time, Chiyang senior officials such as Kang Lin, Yan Si, and Fan Huzi will also use the ace force Iron Man Army in their hands. , the left team of the middle camp of the Hunan Army, the front team of the Kaizi Camp of the Huai Army, the artillery posts of the middle camp of the Hunan Army, the elite card swordsmen of the Taiping Army, the first team of the Ever-Victorious Army, the independent cavalry, and the card cavalry were all sent out. ! As the saying goes, when a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength! This time, Chiyang used the fastest speed and the strongest strength to wipe out all the bold Goryeo vanguard troops! So that next, Chiyang will concentrate all his strength to face the main force of the crusade led by the imperial camp general Yuan Doupiao!
Just like the Battle of Saarhu that originally took place in the Wanli period of the late Ming Dynasty! Facing the 100,000 battle-hardened elite troops of the Ming court and the servant troops sent by Ye He of Goryeo, the Jurchen Khan Nurhaci, who only had 60,000 troops, concentrated all his forces and defeated three Ming armies in succession within five days. , and wiped out its effective strength of 50,000 people! Not only did it greatly expand the living space of the Jurchen clan, but it also seized a lot of military supplies! The most important thing is that through this battle, the Jurchens gained confidence, while their opponents, the Ming army, were psychologically shadowed by them! Since then, the backbone-broken Ming army has been defeated again and again by the former. They first lost Liaodong, then the entire north, and finally even the southern part of the empire was easily swept away by these Tungus savages who originally looked down upon them, and they came to the ancestral temple. Even the country could not be saved!
As for Chiyang, he wants to learn from the wild boar skin and concentrate his forces to attack and destroy all his enemies! Aren't you Koreans arrogant? With only 4,000 soldiers and horses, you dare to divide your troops into separate groups and come to attack the Kun bandits with such arrogance. Then you must be prepared for the latter to concentrate their forces and defeat them one by one! Therefore, amid the constant and shrill sound of the Goryeo night, thousands of Chiyang troops surrounded Jin Qingyuan's troops who were in the center of Gai! Among them, the First Regular Operations Division and the First Preparatory Operations Division led by Zheng Nansheng pressed up from the west of Huanggang, blocking the Koreans' westward advance; the Second Regular Operations Division and the Second Preparatory Operations Division led by Wang Tang detoured back to The east side of Huanggang blocked the road of Goryeo's eastward movement. As for the south side of Huanggang, which is the most vast, the first and second two new auxiliary army brigades, the Iron Man Army squad, and the elite swordsmen of the Taiping Army were led by Fan Huzi himself. , independent cavalry, and card cavalry are responsible for the defense! As for the most elite white-pole soldiers, the left team of the Hunan Army's middle camp, the front team of the Huai Army's Kaizi Camp, the small team of the Ever Victorious Army, and the independent artillery posts of the Hunan Army, Yan Si was left to protect the command core!
"In the First Operations Division and the First Preparation Division, the pikemen walked thirty steps forward, and when they reached the designated position, they raised their guns and lined up; the fusiliers walked twenty steps forward, and when they reached the designated positions, they raised their guns and prepared for battle; Remember, those who fire cannons without getting the order to fire. The commander of the armor and the commander of the sentry should memorize their names first. After the war, I will make sure these bastards look good! Finally, there is the subordinate artillery sentry, you use it first. Aim the mountain-splitting cannon and the Folang machine at the enemy and fire two rounds at them to knock their spirit away! Remember, the two six-pound cannons assigned to you are not allowed to be fired until the critical moment. Violators will not be spared. …”
So soon, as various flags continued to be waved, as well as military drums and bamboo whistles sounded one after another, all the troops in Chiyang, whether they were regular flag troops, reserve troops, independent cavalry, card cavalry, or new auxiliary troops, Iron Man The Taiping Army and the Taiping Army began to march forward in formation! They leaned on each other, and hit each other like huge waves, slamming towards the area where the Koreans were, as if they were about to break the shackles of heaven and earth and tear the latter into pieces in the next moment! The sound was like muffled thunder, and the momentum was like a mountain. It frightened all the Goryeo soldiers under Jin Qingyuan's command so that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled! They seemed to see the shadow of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in their opponents. Both were equally brave and good at fighting, and equally invincible! However, due to the deterrence of military law and the supervising team, they did not dare to retreat at will! We can only endure the pressure like thunder and mountain abyss!
And this suffocating and depressing atmosphere finally quietly changed when the distance between the two parties reached fifty or sixty steps! As Chiyang's east wing, west wing, and south wing commanders issued firing orders one after another! Rumbling cannons rang out from the east, west, and south of the encirclement! That's Chiyang's subordinate artillery firing the mountain-splitting cannon and the Fo Lang machine! As for the big killers, the six-pound front-loading smoothbore guns assigned to various divisions by the big leader Kang Lin continued to stay quietly at their fighting positions. Their goal was to train the few guns that the Imperial Guard Army had managed to land ashore. Big and small artillery pieces, not these little miscellaneous fish in front of you!
Next, as long as the latter dares to fire back, the experienced Chiyang gunners will roughly calculate the distance between the two sides based on their positions! Once the shooting calculations are completed, the six six-pound cannons and two nine-pound cannons assigned to the infantry will fire immediately! By then, the few small cast-iron cannons that the Koreans had managed to get ashore would be instantly broken into parts by the spherical cannonballs falling like locusts! After all, before the emergence of breech-loading rifled cannons, front-loading smoothbore cannons were the undoubted king on the battlefield. Everything in front of them was scum. Whether it was personnel or ships, as long as they were hit by them, the result would be one word. awful! Therefore, the top management of Chiyang did not use them from the beginning, but carefully hid them in the snow. They had to wait until the Korean artillery took the initiative to show up, and then used fierce artillery fire to tell the latter that they were playing with Chiyang. Not qualified yet!
"Uh, my leg, my leg was broken by a cannon, who will save me, who will save me..."
"No, the thief has a cannon. We have been fooled. Brothers, run away quickly. If we are slower, we will be cannoned..."
"Where are our cannons? Why haven't we fired them? Are those officials stupid? The enemy has cannons and we also have cannons. Why do we have to stay where we are and take the enemy's cannons..."
"Where is the Dai Li army? Why haven't you sent the Dai Li army to attack the Kun thief's artillery? Do you want us to continue to stay here and take advantage of the artillery! Ah, I was shot!"
"Come on, come on, he's been hit by a cannon. Is there anyone who can help me? Let's carry him down to the medical officer quickly..."
…
The cannons rumbled, and the smoke shot straight into the sky! Amid the hoarse roars of commanders at all levels, the eight mountain-splitting cannons and eight Little Wolf aircraft assigned to the First Operations Division, the First Reserve Division, the Second Operations Division, and the Second Reserve Division continued to spray out hot shotguns. , and orange gun flames! Those small cannons made of lead and iron, driven by high-quality black powder, exploded with huge power in an instant! All enemy soldiers blocking their path, whether wearing armor or not, were knocked down and penetrated without mercy!
You know, the distance between the two parties at this moment is only a few dozen steps! At this distance, the shotgun shells fired by the Mountain Splitting Cannon and the Little Wolf Machine can already threaten those Korean soldiers who only wear cotton armor or thin cotton clothes! Therefore, the next moment, as the popping sound of lead bullets entering the flesh continued to sound, the originally strict military formation of the Koreans seemed to have been bitten by some invisible monster. Dozens of people fell down together, and the remaining After the soldiers saw this, they couldn't help but be shocked. They were all the second and third generations of the army who had been in peace for a long time. How had they ever seen such ferocious artillery fire! Even when the Tartars invaded a few months ago, they just stayed in Nanhan Mountain City and held on to the dangers. They had never suffered such a heavy blow in a battle! Therefore, after a period of howling and screaming, some of the weak-minded Korean soldiers immediately dropped their weapons and began to turn around and run away!
"Go back, go back, the observation envoy has given orders, anyone who dares to escape from the battle will be killed without mercy!"
After seeing several rounds of shelling from the enemy, our originally tight military formation gradually began to become unstable. There were even some timid and cowardly guys who dropped their weapons and ran away. Jeju Observer Jin Qingyuan couldn't help but be furious. Although he was He led the army in battle as a civilian official, but after the Battle of Ganghwa, he learned a lot from his experience in the government, which allowed him to sum up a lot of command experience. He knew full well that the enemy's artillery fire at this time was just to disrupt his own military formation! Therefore, in order to stabilize the situation, he chose to immediately send out his own tooth soldiers to suppress the fleeing cowards!
What an international joke! He fled after only two rounds of artillery fire. If he is not punished, there will be no need to fight the next battle! Let's just throw away our weapons and kneel down to the enemy in front of us to beg for surrender. At least that way we can save everyone's lives! So soon, following his order, fifty fat and strong soldiers of the war team immediately carried the ghost-headed swords and slashed at the fleeing crowd, driving the fleeing troops back to their territory. Battle position!
"Three-stage fire, the fusiliers who arrived at the designated position immediately raised their weapons and lined up in three rows to prepare for battle! As I said again, no firing is allowed without orders, and offenders will be killed without mercy! In addition, the gunners Immediately raise the muzzle of the artillery and aim at the Koreans behind the military formation to lob fire!"
Through the monocular in his hand, Zheng Nansheng witnessed the entire process of the Goryeo Supervisory Team's efforts to clean up military discipline. Zheng Nansheng could not help but spat on the ground. The training of the Supervisory Army was indeed a new type of army trained by the Goryeo court based on the Ming Dynasty Qi's Army. In the end, it was different from those noodle-like Li Jiajun. Unlike the old army, they were able to withstand two rounds of artillery fire from their own side at close range without collapsing. It seemed that to defeat them, they would have to spend more effort, such as musket volleys or bayonet charges! Thinking of this, the infantry general who had participated in almost all Chiyang's foreign wars immediately issued an order to his subordinates to attack!
