Chapter 180: The Battle of the Blue Hoof Pavilion III

It can't be said that Zhou Chang's prediction was inaccurate, because he soon fell into the bloody storm.

Because of this little cavalry in North Korea, it was scattered by the Qing army in just one round, and in an instant, the flowers and clouds were scattered, and Zhou Chang didn't even have time to react, and found that there were only dozens of horsemen left around him to guard King Han.

In any case, the North Korean Lee family has also enjoyed the country for more than 200 years. How can there not be a few heroic warriors around, and an army that can fight in a formed system may not be found, but there are dozens of guard masters. It's just that these dozens of people can't save the war at all.

For a time, the situation was precarious, King Han and Zhou Chang were protected in the middle, and the Qing cavalry killed them in all directions.

In a moment, Zhou Chang was covered in blood.

It was not Zhou Chang's blood, but the blood of the guards around him, King Han was so frightened that he could barely grasp the reins, Zhou Chang was also decisive, took out a handcuff, took out a handcuff, and shot a Qing cavalry to the ground. Zhou Chang hurriedly filled the gunpowder immediately.

When Zhou Chang was preparing to come to North Korea, he specially obtained it from the Manufacturing Bureau, and he practiced it every day to protect himself. On weekdays, it can be filled in a matter of moments, but at this time, my hands can't stop shaking, and I can't do it well anyway.

It was at this time that his eyes lit up. But it's a sword light.

The sword light came first, and the blade chased the sword light and slashed at Zhou Chang's head. The light of the knife fell right between Zhou Chang's eyes, and Zhou Chang only felt that his eyes were bright, but he couldn't see anything except a blade, and suddenly heard the bowstring crash. Suddenly, it was dark, and a Qing soldier fell from his horse beside him. It caused his mount to panic a little.

Only then did he find that there were more than 100 cavalrymen who had been killed, but the leader was Ma Sanbao, who had several relationships. He immediately shouted, "This is the king of Joseon." ”

Ma Sanbao has been stationed on Jianghua Island for a while, although he is not familiar with Zhou Chang and King Han, but he knows them all, but at this moment there are some people who can't recognize them. And Zhou Chang was covered in blood, and there were blood marks on his face, which seemed to be splashed on it.

As soon as the identities of the two were confirmed, Ma Sanbao immediately knew the severity, and without saying a word, he ordered his corporal to guard Zhou Chang, King Han and others in the middle, and they broke out of the siege and went in the direction of Seoul.

A few miles to the southeast, he heard the sound of shouting and killing, Ma Sanbao looked at it from a distance, and immediately put his mind at ease.

Because although Ma Sanbao couldn't see it really, he could hear the volley of artillery fire, and he knew that the Qing army had not broken the formation. Since this is the case, it means that there is no danger on King Yue's side for the time being. Ma Sanbao didn't dare to stay, but he hastily saw the weakness of the Qing army's formation, quickly stepped up, and took himself as the arrow to break into the formation.

The Qing army was all cavalry, and they didn't pay attention to the formation. Plus Ma San

Bao appeared suddenly, and for a while, the Qing army had not had time to deal with it, and Ma Sanbao had already come to the front of Zheng Chenggong's army array.

"Woo." The sound of the horn, the Qing army temporarily retreated.

The tide of the Qing army generally receded, and the Xia army was quiet in front of the formation.

Ma Sanbao looked at it at this moment, but saw that there was a very clear boundary on the ground, just a few steps before the battle, outside this distance, there were mostly sparse corpses of the Qing army, but within this boundary, there were layers of corpses of the Xia army and the Qing army, as well as the corpses of war horses.

Ma Sanbao immediately understood that this place was the original front of the Xia army, but the Qing army came too suddenly. The two sides fought each other in this place, and forced the Xia army to retreat.

With just this trace, Ma Sanbao could imagine how tragic the fight was before. The more this is the case, the more Ma Sanbao blames himself in his heart.

"General Ma." A soldier came over and said, "The prince has summoned you." ”

Ma Sanbao and King Han and Zhou Chang visited Zheng Chenggong together.

At this moment of crisis, we can see the true colors of heroes.

Where Zheng Chenggong is, with several wooden boxes as high platforms, Zheng Chenggong sits on a Taishi chair, looking relaxed, as if he is not in the encirclement. He met with three people. Asked King Han about the situation first, his voice was extremely kind, but King Han was shocked and couldn't do what he said. Zheng Chenggong was light-hearted. However, there was no half point in his words, but he just appeased King Han and ordered the left and right guards to escort King Han down to rest.

In fact, it is just house arrest, once there is a change, it is said that the king of Han will be killed quickly, and the king of Han will never fall into the hands of the Qing army.

Zheng Chenggong's gaze fell on Ma Sanbao, his voice turned stern, and he said, "General Ma, are you guilty?"

Ma Sanbao's face was extremely ashamed, and he fell to the ground with a bang, bowed his head and said: "The last general will be guilty, but he will die." ”

Zheng Chenggong felt extremely difficult for a while, if it was someone else in front of him, not Ma Sanbao, Zheng Chenggong would have given an order and would have been beheaded to show the public. Without the slightest hesitation.

But if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Ma Sanbao is Zhang Xuan's cronies after all. It was easy for him to kill Ma Sanbao today, but he didn't know if it would make Zhang Xuan feel that he had something else. That's not going to be easy. Zheng Chenggong thought for a moment and said: "As a striker, you lead the army to be shortlisted, and your crime should be beheaded, but you have merit in saving King Han, and now when you are employing people, you will be spared this time." After the war, if you have merit, you can offset the merits, and if you fight again, you will not blame me for being ruthless. ”

Ma Sanbao gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Xie, there is another mistake." There is no need for the prince to speak, and his subordinates will come to see him. This sentence is true, for Ma Sanbao, today's battle is already unbearable, if there is a second time, not to talk about punishment, he himself can't face himself.

"Lord Wang," thoughtful

Bin stepped forward and said, "The Qing army is coming. ”

Zheng Chenggong immediately focused his attention on the approaching Qing army, he stood up, took out a clairvoyant mirror, and watched the battle around. Because there was a box on the ground where he was, he stood up much taller than ordinary soldiers, and his vision was not obstructed.

Take the entire battlefield into view.

But seeing the Qing army coming from all directions, the smoke and dust kicked by countless war horses were like four yellow walls, blocking Zheng Chenggong's vision. saw that countless figures below were walking towards Xia Jun, but Zheng Chenggong fixed his eyes and suddenly scolded in his heart: "Despicable." ”

Because it was not the cavalry of the Qing army that walked in the forefront, but the dense Korean people.

Zheng Chenggong immediately knew that the Qing army was ready to use the Korean people to resist the firepower of the Xia army.

Zheng Chenggong immediately made a silent calculation in his heart, after leaving Seoul, almost all the soldiers marched lightly, only with the day's food on their bodies, and only carried some gunpowder with them. There are no cannons at all, some are just small cannons that can keep up with the march, such as the Tiger Squat Cannon.

Each musketeer had enough gunpowder on his body to shoot more than 200 times.

It's not that you can't bring it anymore, but it's useless to have more.

If more than 200 shots were fired in a short period of time, the fire would have exploded. No exceptions. If the battle is long, you can naturally get it from the rear baggage.

These North Korean people, can they offset more than 200 salvos.

In the absence of gunpowder, whether Zheng Chenggong's headquarters can withstand the attack of the Qing cavalry, Zheng Chenggong has no bottom in his heart.

At this moment, there are not many soldiers around him, about 30,000.

There are not only Xia Jun's people, but also Zheng Chenggong's personal guards, and Zheng Chenggong's personal guards have always been the descendants of the Zheng family. After all, no matter how big Zheng Chenggong is, it is impossible to entrust his safety to others, and he must personally control it to rest assured.

However, Zheng Chenggong did not count his personal guards into the combat power.

It's not that Zheng Chenggong's personal guards have a problem with their combat strength, on the contrary, Zheng Chenggong is very generous to his personal guards, among these personal guards, there are many children of the Zheng family, although the training is probably not as good as the Xia army, but on the basis of salary, with the children of the Zheng family as the backbone, he can definitely fight for Zheng Chenggong to a soldier.

It's just that for Zheng Chenggong, if he really fights to the point where even his personal guards go to the battlefield, it is almost gone.

Zheng Chenggong looked away, and then saw that the rear was empty, and there didn't seem to be a single soldier. Naturally, I know that it is a plan to encircle three and lack one, as long as the Xia army's formation moves, the Qing army can better grasp the flaws of the Xia army.

Zheng Chenggong naturally would not let the Qing army get his wish.

But this situation should be solved like this?
