Chapter 107: Hunting North Korea

Zhu Qizhen said: "Spread the message." Please see you in the Wuying Hall after the British Emperor tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes." A little eunuch said.

Zhu Qizhen put this matter on hold first.

Because what he was worried about was not the battle of Haixi, but the flood season of the Yangtze River.

The battle of Haixi has arrived, and no news is good news. However, the flood season of the Yangtze River is no worse than that of the Yellow River.

Zhu Qizhen reduced taxes. Urging the magistrates to repair the embankments, and a series of other things, they were very busy.

The military situation of the DPRK has become an episode.

On the second day, after the morning pilgrimage.

Zhu Qizhen summoned the British Duke in the Wuying Palace.

The British Duke first asked Fan Hong to report the recent news about the Battle of Haixi one by one, and said: "The Duke of Guo, the tile spur has not been able to attack for a long time, and the imperial court has sat idly by, is it a little bad." In particular, it is good to deal with the request for help from the subject country. ”

The British Duke said: "Your Majesty, the fighter plane has arrived, and Cao Yi, the chief military officer of Liaodong, was ordered to send troops to Yanbian. Seal the retreat of the tile thorn, and the tile spur ten thousand rode in North Korea, although it is strong, but it is a tree without roots and water without a source. ”

"If you take a long time, you will lose."

"And if it is not saved, North Korea may have other thoughts, so it must be saved, and it must be fast."

Zhu Qizhen is a little incredible, the British public has always been more cautious about the use of troops, and he never thought that he would be more anxious than Zhu Qizhen today.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's expression, the British public speculated in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, what the minister says, every sentence is heartfelt, and the soldier's words are at stake. In a war, we should not only look at the benefits of victory, but also look at the losses of defeat. ”

"In today's battle, if you win, you will destroy 10,000 horsemen, and the headquarters of the tile spur is only a hundred thousand horsemen, and the loss of 10,000 horsemen is enough to feel distressed first."

"But if you lose, you will only lose 30,000 people in Liaodong, and even if you are defeated, you won't lose so much."

"Now, Xuanda, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion are ready to reinforce Liaodong at any time, and the border wall of Liaodong is tightly defended, even if it is defeated, Liaodong will not damage the overall situation."

"In addition, the mountains of Yanbian are rugged, and the use of foot combat is not conducive to the vertical and horizontal iron cavalry. And once Yanbian is obtained, it is much closer to Haixi, which is enough to connect Liaodong with Haixi. Once something goes wrong in the battle of Haixi, there will be a lot of reinforcements from Yanbian. ”

"The only worry is that the army besieging Haixi will go south."

"But it's impossible to fight a war without taking any risks."

"How can you not fight?"

Zhu Qizhen listened to it and knew that although the British Duke did not like some of his words, most of his military judgments were correct.

Although Zhu Qizhen is known as the true dragon emperor, he himself knows that his own ability and military laws will not change because of him as the emperor. So it's better to listen to the British public.

Think about it, if

If you want to run Haixi, Yanbian is a piece of land, and it is better to take it into your own hands.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen also felt that on top of the strategy against the tile spurs, because avoiding a decisive battle with the tile spurs outside the fortress made him feel passive everywhere, and now that the British public has agreed, Zhu Qizhen naturally has nothing to disagree.

He immediately passed a holy decree to Cao Yi.

After Cao Yi received the order, without saying a word, he took his headquarters from Sanwanwei to the south, first to Liaoyang, and then eastward into the upper reaches of the Yalu River, into the Yanbian area.

From here, I want to seal the back path of the tile spurs.

It's just such a big movement, and if you don't see it, you won't be discovered.

As soon as Cao Yi came out of the eastern border wall of Liaodong, all parties in the tile spurs got the news.

At this moment, the Ashogun has already left Pyongyang and is attacking Seoul in the south. He had not yet reached Seoul when he received the news.

Naturally, the spur knew the gravity of it.

Immediately ordered that all gold, silver and jewels should be abandoned, all grain and baggage should be burned, and all the plundering women should be killed, and all of them should be lightly armed, and they should immediately return to Hercy.

As a result, the lives of more than 10,000 North Korean women stained the land of North Korea red.

Joseon Li Yao led the army to fight several contact battles with the Watt Thorn army, but the results were all the same, defeated, and it was a fiasco, but the posture of defeat was not quite the same.

Under such circumstances, Li Yao did not dare to pursue, and only when the Tile Thorn army withdrew two hundred miles away, did he dare to slowly catch up with the army.

Carry out a send-off chase.

The Ajab Prefecture was ravaged in Korea for more than a month, and the place where it passed was in ruins, which became the biggest loss since the founding of the DPRK.

And in Yanbian, the battle between the Assassin Prefecture and Cao Yi's department has begun.

In Qingjin, Cao Yi's general Shi Ju fought a big battle with A's assassin's department.

As mentioned before, Shi Ju is a Mongolian. He led the cavalry as the vanguard, blocking the road first.

Just on this small coastal plain, a little southeast of the previous Battle of Hamgyong Mountain, the two sides fought each other for a long time, and the victory was not divided. It's just a matter of collecting their troops.

After setting up camp, the Aja Zhiyuan watched the lights in the distance from a distance. Stunned.

Just rush through here, and then go north for two or three hundred miles, and you can get to Haixi City. But I am afraid that this part of the road will not be completed now.

Liaodong Iron Cavalry has never been a vegetarian, and Shi Ju is Cao Yi's right-hand man, fighting on horseback, and never being cowardly.

Although it was a win-lose game, Ah Thorn knew that he had actually lost a move, there was a blockade in the north, and there were chasing soldiers in the south.

On the second day, the Assassin Prefecture did not fight, because Cao Yi came.

The Ming sergeants of the brigade followed Cao Yi's footsteps to come here, and where they joined forces with the forward, for a time there was thunder in the Ming army camp, and it resounded all over the world.

Such a situation

Under the circumstances, how is the Assassin Academy willing to fight?

As soon as Cao Yi entered the big tent, he asked Shi Ju about yesterday's battle.

Shi Ju's appearance presents the typical characteristics of a Mongolian man, with a cake face, a mustache, plus a short man and circled legs.

It's just that the sound is very loud, and it is a real sound like a bell.

This seems to be a characteristic of many generals, and in ancient times, when there was no amplification equipment, the general's voice had to cover a wider range.

Hence this characteristic.

"My lord, the Tile Thorn Cavalry is a hard bone." Shi Ju has a difficult color. said: "The brothers have fought with Uliangha and Arutai, and they have never seen such a difficult person. ”

"I'm not afraid of adult jokes when I say it, if the sun went down an hour late yesterday, I guess I'm going to lose."

Shi Ju now thinks about it, and there are some lingering palpitations.

Cao Yi said: "The tile spur cavalry is so tricky? ”

Shi Ju said: "My lord, I can see that the good hand of the tile spur cavalry may not be much better than other cavalry good hands, but the military discipline is strict and he is not afraid of death, which is the only thing I have seen in my life." ”

"Compared with the Tile Thorn Cavalry, the Uliangha and other troops are just herdsmen."

Military discipline is always the first guarantee of combat effectiveness.

Those who have military discipline can always fight better than those who do not.

When the cavalry of the Ming army faced all the units of Uliangha, they could win more with less, one against two, or even one against three, and they could have a chance of winning, because the military discipline of the Ming army was stronger than that of Uliangha and other departments.

Without him, the cavalry of Uliangha was more of a herdsman and used as soldiers and horses. But in the Ming army, the cavalry was the best of the best, because the Ming Dynasty had few horses.

Without two brushes, it is impossible to go to the cavalry, and the cavalry is treated much better than the foot soldiers.

Cao Yi said: "How much did you lose yesterday? ”

Shi Ju said: "I counted eight hundred and thirty horsemen, and there were more wounded. ”

"Can you still fight?" Cao Yi said.

"Please rest assured." Shi Ju saluted and said: "As long as the adults give an order, as long as I Shi Ju has a breath, I can fight." ”

"It's good that you have this distraction." Cao Yi said: "I actually want to tell you a piece of news. ”

Shi Ju said, "My lord, please speak." ”

Cao Yi said: "He also moved first, he transferred tens of thousands of horses from Haixi City, and he is on the north bank of the Mentu River at this moment, and he can cross the river within a few days." ”

Shi Ju listened, and his face turned dark. Immediately understood their dangerous situation.

It turned out that the people who were caught in it were not only the Assassin Governor's Academy, but also the Cao Yi Division, and even the Cao Yi Division's Department was more dangerous than the Assassin's Governor's Academy.

After all, the ability of the North Korean soldiers is not enough to rely on, so they can only wave their flags and shout.

"My lord, what shall we do?" Shi Ju was a little panicked.

Cao Yi said: "Fight one side first, then the other, and the two groups of people will be separated." ”
