Chapter 117: Seoul Breakout

Although this order was issued, when it came to Wu Sangui, he wanted the war in the southwest to start. It's going to take a while. Dorgon arranged support for the Korean war.

The key to the Korean War, which Dolgon could see at a glance, lay in the sailors.

Dorgon ordered Huang Wu to give the newly built ships and the reinforcement of the artillery. Ordered Huang Wu to find an opportunity to attack the Xia Army's naval division.

And some men and horses were transferred from the Liaodong Division and even Mongolia and sent to Liaodong, but they could not reach it for a while. However, the plight of the Qing army in Korea continued.

The Battle of the Han River, the influence of this battle also spread.

The people in all parts of Korea were excited, and they rebelled one after another, and the volunteers from all walks of life did not dare to confront the Qing army, but as soon as the Qing army brigade left, the Korean puppet army left behind in various places was cleared by the Koreans. Even the road from Seoul to Liaodong has been cut off a lot.

Azig had to disperse his forces and maintain the road in the rear, which for a time seemed to be stuck in mud and difficult to move forward.

The spring breeze is like a knife, it seems to be the most powerful force in the world, where it passes, cutting off the glacier and breaking the snow-capped mountains, the ice of the Han River is under the action of the spring breeze, the layers are cracked, the Han River is navigable, and then under the melting of ice and snow, the walls of Seoul are also decadent, and large areas of rammed earth fall.

And the land was thawed, and the march was much more difficult. Everywhere we passed, mud gushed.

And the Qing army on Ganghwa Island had already retreated long before the thaw.

After all, the Qing army also knew that once the thaw was thawed, they would be trapped on Ganghwa Island.

Ruan Jin had already received an order from Zhou Fuchen to inspect the waterway of the Han River, and then the fleet went upstream. Just two days away, just above the Han River.

Far away, you can see the shadows of the sails on the Han River, but the same scenery falls into the eyes of different people, but they have different feelings.

In Seoul, Zhou Fuchen saw this sail shadow, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In the past ten days, Zhou Fuchen's heart was full of torment, but he couldn't be with others in this torment. Speaking of which, Zhou Fuchen had to admit that in terms of concentration, he was still a lot worse than veterans like Yang Shenzu, Yang Shenzu was in Seoul, handling military affairs on time and on point every day, inspecting outside the city wall, that is, enjoying the Korean beauty, and sleeping with the soldiers below.

He didn't look worried.

However, when they arrived, a stone finally fell to the ground.

It's just that now, although the sailor fleet has arrived, there is still an obstacle between it and Seoul, that is, Changwei outside Seoul.

This long fence is made of earth, wood and stones, not too high, but only as tall as people, with artillery and firecrackers on it. Guarded by privates, there are several gaps that allow cavalry to break through. This long siege is the masterpiece of the Qing army's recruitment of people during this period.

Of course

In a hurry, I don't know how many North Koreans died under this long siege.

If you want to break through to Seoul and join the sailors, the battle of the breakthrough is inevitable.

But how could Azig be willing to watch the Xia army withdraw like this.

Azig is not defenseless for such a situation, when he appeared on the Han River, when the Xia army ships, he realized that the situation was not good, so he made preparations in advance, but no matter how to prepare, Azig had a problem, that is, the artillery was insufficient.

Zhang Xuan attached great importance to the naval division, and almost half of the artillery of the entire army was in the naval division. Of course, there are also reasons for the Zheng family. However, it can be seen from this aspect that there are many artillery pieces of the Xia Army's naval division, and even though there are not many ships sent into the Han River this time, there are many civilian ships.

But the number of artillery pieces is still more than 100.

But on Azig's side, it is far inferior.

Speaking of which, the Qing court in the number of artillery compared with the Xia Dynasty, just not lagging behind, this is still in the Qing army captured Luo Yulong's Northern Expedition of many artillery pieces, but in the past two years, although the Beijing Artillery Factory was successfully completed and produced a lot of artillery, but compared with the Guangdong Manufacturing Bureau, it is still a lot worse.

This difference in production capacity is also reflected in the number of artillery pieces on the front line.

Not to mention North Korea, the number of artillery in the entire Liaodong is not too much, because in order to cope with the pressure of the front, the artillery of the Qing army's Beijing Artillery Factory is assigned to two places from priority, one is the local Beijing Division, which is an important place to follow, and the other is from Yangzhou to Luoyang, the two sides face off this line.

The increase in the number of artillery pieces opposite Gaine put a lot of pressure on them. It was impossible for the Qing army not to keep up.

As for the conquest of the North Korean army, the number of artillery is not large, and even if it is temporarily transferred, it can only be drawn from Beijing, which is almost a thousand miles away from the front line. It can't be made up at all, and it can't be compared with the artillery that Xia Jun only needs to unload from the ship.

Such a disadvantage made the Qing army dare not set up camp on the bank of the Han River. They could only retreat a few miles, camping almost back-to-back with Changwei.

And this is the only place for Seoul to connect with the outside of the city.

Azig wanted to fight the Xia army again.

It's just that he didn't expect this battle to come so quickly, it was simply lightning fast.

At this moment, Zhou Chang had already made a generous statement in front of King Han. King Han was taken aback and said, "Is it tonight?" ”

"It's tonight." Zhou Chang said.

King Han said: "The ship is coming today, and it will break through tonight, is it too hasty." ”

Zhou Chang said: "The privy means that the army is ready, and it has been waiting for this day for a long time. And every day of delay, the Qing army's preparation is one more point, so only tonight is the best chance. And the prince will also go to war with the army. ”

When King Han heard this, he was even more frightened and said, "How can I pay it back."

Let Lone fight? ”

Zhou Chang said: "Because, this time, it is the army that is dispatched, and I will not look back again." ”

Zhou Chang listened to Zhou Fuchen and Yang Shenzu discussed, although they defeated the Qing army, but just now

King Han heard it in his heart, and his heart trembled, he knew that there was a moment now, but he didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly. It's so fast that people can't react. King Han said, "Is it tonight?" ”

Zhou Chang said: "Please also ask the prince to prepare quickly and go out of the city with the army." ”

King Han's face turned pale and said, "Lord Zhou, how many people can you bring?" ”

Zhou Chang said: "At this moment, the line between life and death, one is not good, the prince will die on the way out of the city tonight." As long as the prince protects his noble body, he wants nothing? You only need to bring the country's treasures, and the guards and ministers will obey each other. ”

"Lone knows. Lone knows. Han Wang's voice became deeper and deeper.

"Then the next official retired." Zhou Chang said: "The prince should prepare early. Don't be soft-hearted at this time. ”

King Han lost his soul for a while, and even forgot to send Zhou Chang.

King Han's family is in this Seoul, in the palace, there are thousands of beauties from all walks of life plus the eunuchs who serve, although since the fierce battle, most of the sturdy eunuchs have been sent to the city, but there are still many eunuchs in the palace.

These eunuchs can be ignored, but the beauties, as well as the accumulation of various Korean royal families, antiquities and heavy weapons. He was reluctant to stay.

Han Wang was slightly stunned for a moment, closed his eyes, two tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and then he controlled his emotions. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and he said, "Someone." ”

"Your Highness, the old slave is here." An old eunuch didn't know where he came from. Said with his hands down.

"Take the queen with you, and the disciples of the close branch. There are also Wang Xi and other objects, ready to break through tonight. Han Wang said.

"Yes." The old eunuch said.

"Of course, these things can be explained to others to do, but there is one thing that must be done by you." King Han said: "Erase the people who shouldn't be left for me, if I think my father is in the sky, I will also miss my mother." ”

The old eunuch said, "The old slave obeys. ”

In the Korean royal family, he is not completely without competitors, and now the chaos in Seoul has long since disappeared from the original pattern. If he doesn't take the opportunity to get rid of the big trouble in his heart, how long will he wait? He would never let this younger brother fall into the hands of the Qing army, not only him, but also some disciples of the Korean royal family, all of whom had to be taken away, and would rather die on the road than stay in Seoul.

Because Seoul soon became the domain of the Qing court.
