The Jianlu and Mongolian coalition forces quickly crossed the Yalu River, set foot on the land of North Korea, and flew towards Pyongyang City at their fastest marching speed.
In order to catch up with the speed of the Mongolian cavalry, the Jianlu cavalry led by Azig, the leader, was also equipped with one man and two horses. Although the number of people is not large, the main force of the battle is the Mongolian cavalry, so naturally it will not have any impact.
The straight-line distance from the Yalu River to Pyongyang is only more than 300 miles. The normal marching distance is only more than 400 miles. With such a fast marching speed, it can be reached in two days at most!
Sitting on the back of a galloping horse, Azig thought about this and couldn't help but start to think about it.
This kind of ambush was hundreds of miles away, and the ambush was composed of cavalry with one man and two horses. The Ming army would never have imagined that they were marching in such a hurry.
Suddenly, they were killed, and then Hauge's troops in Pyongyang City also followed. Under attack from two sides, it would be unreasonable for this Dongjiang Army of only about 8,000 people to be completely wiped out!
As for the thousands of North Korean rebels, Azige simply ignored them.
As evening approached, Azig, who was on his way, suddenly saw a dead war horse on the roadside, as well as a corpse that the Ming army had not collected at night.
He just took a glance, and based on what he saw, he came to a conclusion at once. This Ming army did not accept the spy at night. It was probably a spy placed by the Ming army on the Yalu River. He hurriedly reported back, but was still chased and killed by the Mongolian forwards.
"I can't tell, the Dongjiang Army is quite cunning!" Azig thought in his heart and couldn't help but sneered, "But even so, so what! Who would have thought that this time they would use the Mongolian cavalry. In the world, , what other cavalry can outrun the Mongolian cavalry?"
After seeing the corpses that the Ming army refused to collect at night, Azig became more confident. Even if the Dongjiang Army could fight no matter how hard they fought, they would never be able to destroy Hauge's troops within these few days. Wait until he arrives with his troops...
Thinking of the shocked, panic-stricken and frightened expressions of the Ming army at that time, from generals to ordinary soldiers, Azig couldn't help but feel great!
He also had this expectation. Although he was marching in a hurry, Azig did not feel tired at all.
In this battle, there is no need to talk about tactics. There are only more than 20,000 cavalry. Just charge forward. Those smart dogs will be scared to death!
As long as the Dongjiang Army is destroyed, what Huang Taiji couldn't do back then can be done again by his own hands!
Azig thought about this and became more and more excited.
Speaking of which, the Dongjiang Army of the Ming Dynasty was actually destroyed by his own hands twice.
The first time, he also led the army to conquer. That was when he directly attacked Pi Island and destroyed the Ming army.
But this time, they lured the main force of the Dongjiang Army to land, and then annihilated them all!
Ha ha ha ha……
Along the way, Azig laughed out loud many times. Why is the Dongjiang Army a thorn in the side of the Qing Dynasty? If they meet me, they will end up being destroyed!
………………
In one day and night, the Jianlu and Mongolian coalition forces marched nearly 400 miles. Generally speaking, this kind of high-intensity march is definitely very tiring.
However, both the Jianlu and the Mongols were extremely excited as they saw that they were getting closer and closer to Pyongyang. There was only the war horse under their crotch, which was so tiring!
Perhaps because of the close proximity, Azig began to see stinking corpses lying on the roadside, with their bodies stripped clean.
Seeing this, he suddenly became furious. Because there is only a small amount of hair on the heads of these corpses. Needless to say, this is the body of a Qing warrior. It should be Hauge's command, who was attacked by the Dongjiang Army and died in battle.
"You will pay a higher price soon!" Azig gritted his teeth and secretly hated it, vowing in his heart.
He had been to North Korea, so he naturally knew the way. Knowing that it was not too far from Pyongyang, he became more and more excited.
To be honest, at this time, he really wanted to see the expressions of those Dongjiang troops who were besieging Pyongyang City when they suddenly saw tens of thousands of cavalry behind them. How pleasing it would be to watch!
Perhaps because of the proximity to Pyongyang, when Azig led the troops in a hurry, they had already seen traces of North Korean rebels. Everyone was shocked and frightened, and almost all of them rolled and crawled away from the official road and fled up the mountain.
Regarding these North Korean rebels, Azig had previously issued military orders and ignored them. Even though some of the North Korean rebels were obviously wearing clothes ripped off from the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, he still resisted ignoring them and went to Pyongyang first. Let’s talk about the encirclement and annihilation of the Dongjiang Army.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
"嘘嘚嘚嘚..."
The shouts of Jianlu and Mongolians and the rumble of horse hooves were the only sounds wherever the army passed. It was as if the entire world was filled with this sound.
This momentum is so fierce that it is like an overwhelming wave, hitting the outside of Pyongyang!
After an arduous forced march, the army finally arrived in Pyongyang.
However, what they saw in front of them made all the Jianlu and Mongolians, including Azig, dumbfounded.
I saw a mess outside Pyongyang City, and an unfinished trench was indeed dug around Pyongyang City. But what about the Ming soldiers? Where is the Dongjiang Army?
Azig almost shouted out furiously, and immediately a bodyguard pointed at him and said: "Master, the Dongjiang Army is over there!"
When Azig heard this, he immediately turned around and saw on the Datong River outside Pyongyang. The last Ming army in red uniforms got on the boat and began to go downstream.
On the other side of the Datong River, there was also a group of Qing troops chasing them, but they could only stare at the Ming troops on the boat and pay attention.
Azig saw all this clearly, and suddenly felt like vomiting blood. Without saying a word, he urged his horse to gallop towards the river.
After planning for so long, they even mobilized the Mongolian elites on the grasslands to cross Liaodong and attack Pyongyang City. Logically speaking, the Dongjiang Army should be completely annihilated. Why did they run away?
They were on the Yalu River side of the night. Weren't they also caught up and killed on their way to report the news?
Is there anything else in this world that is faster than the forced march of the Mongolian cavalry?
And judging from the movement of the Dongjiang Army, it seems that they have already been withdrawing their troops before. Even if there were Ming troops who stayed at night and didn't kill them, and rushed back to report the news, in terms of speed, it was absolutely impossible to be faster than the forced march of the Mongolian cavalry. How could they all board the ship and run away?
In this case, the only explanation is that the Ming army learned the news in advance, instead of being rewarded by the Yalu River for not accepting it at night, so this was possible!
Thinking of this, Azig had the answer in his mind, and said almost through gritted teeth: "Fuckin' Koreans have always been two-faced, I'm going to pull out their skins!"
By this time, he had already arrived at the riverside.
However, the Datong River is very wide. The Ming army's warships sailed away from the shore and went down the river in the middle of the river. Even if they had strong bows that could hit them, they would basically have no damage to the people on the ships.
I saw Ming Navy warships one after another, rushing downstream in a row. Azig was so angry that his chest was about to explode!
………………
On the last warship, Li Laiheng was on the deck, watching countless Jianlu cavalry appear, and couldn't help but happily said to Li Guo beside him: "Father, thanks to you, otherwise, I'm afraid this time The whole army is going to be annihilated!"
Li Guo also felt scared for a while, but he was also very happy that his intuition came true again. But on the surface, after hearing Li Laiheng's words, he said humbly: "After all, it was you who made your own judgment and made up your mind, and you avoided this disaster!"
At this point, he looked past Li Laiheng and looked at Jin Fulai on the other side, and said to him with a smile: "How about this, isn't this Zhuge Kongming's empty city plan?"
When Jin Fulai heard this, he turned around, with endless regret in his heart. At the same time, he showed a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "Your Excellency is wise!"
On the naval warships, most of the Ming army officers and soldiers felt very regretful and even dissatisfied with the fact that Li Laiheng ordered the retreat when their own side had all the advantages.
But at this time, when they saw the Jianlu cavalry coming from all over the mountains and plains, they all became very impressed. Looking at the ugly Jianlu cavalry from a distance, their mood became very good.
So, naturally they rushed to the shore and shouted.
"Tatars, you are late!"
"What the hell, is it as slow as you guys? Come here and drink the foot-washing water, it's gone!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"..."
He shouted cheerfully to the other side, and eventually, it slowly turned into one voice. All the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army rushed to the shore and shouted: "Don't send us far, please come back!"
The Ming army shouted politely, but they could see that Jianlu's face on the shore was as ugly as it was!
On the shore, Azig saw Haug and asked sharply: "What's going on? What's going on?"
Hauge was also confused. He wanted to ask what was going on!
Finally, after the two people met and communicated, based on the time of the Ming army's retreat, it was concluded that the North Korean Jin Fulai must have defected back to the Ming Dynasty and told the Ming army about this action.
Otherwise, at least in the eyes of both of them, there is no other explanation that can explain all this.
Suddenly, Hauge's temper became violent and he immediately went crazy.
The army was immediately sent out to look for people to kill.
However, the North Koreans are not fools and have already hid in the mountains.
The Mongolian cavalry marched so forcefully, and after the failure, they were in a bad mood and needed to rest and recuperate in order to recover from the rapid march of the past few days.
Naturally, they didn't know that the Ming army's retaliatory actions against them had already begun on the grassland at this time.
Although the grassland is endless, the approximate grazing areas of each Mongolian tribe are known. Then combined with the water source, more than 20,000 cavalry troops began to sweep across the grassland again.
