Seeing that half a month had passed, it was guessed that the Goryeo servant army had exhausted the Dongjiang soldiers, and it was time to launch a general attack with the arquebusiers of the Han army as the main force.

The "Marshal Du" gathered the generals, all the traitors and Goryeo traitors who participated in the war gathered together, and Kong Youde arranged the troops to be in high spirits for a while.

In the early morning of the third day of the ninth lunar month, that is, the day before the planned retreat of the Dongjiang soldiers, the Houjin army launched an unprecedented sharp attack, and well-known traitors such as Ma Guangyuan, Geng Zhongming, Shi Tingzhu, and Zhang Cunren all led the Jiading team to participate in the trench battle.

The defenders of the main position were the three brothers of the Shang family, the famous general of Dongjiang Town, and they did not frighten or retreat in the face of the surging Houjin army.

Under Shang Keyi's fierce counterattack, the two sides fought corpses all over the ground, and the two armies in the trenches were close to each other, they scuffled and rolled together, blood and water mixed with mud smeared all over their bodies, so that the two sides who came to reinforce could no longer distinguish between friend and foe.

It was obviously a war launched by the Later Jin army, but the Mongolian and Jurchen languages were not heard on the battlefield in full swing, and the ears were full of Chinese shouts and Korean screams.

A great battle was fought until the sun turned west, and the Houjin army failed to break the defense line of Dongjiang Town.

Shang Keyi, Shang Kexi and other generals were also unable to beat out all the Houjin troops who entered the trenches, and in the front-line trenches, the two armies were licking their wounds and preparing to attack.

In the middle of the night, seeing that there were only two hours before the scheduled retreat of the whole army, Mao Chenglu, who was guarding the left flank, led more than 1,000 men and horses to converge.

The Houjin army is close at hand, and running back at this time will definitely cause a rout.

In order to better complete the retreat plan, more than a dozen generals such as Shang Keyi, Mao Chenglu, and Shang Kexi decided to call on all their active subordinates to launch a large-scale counterattack and then quietly retreat.

They judged that the Houjin army would definitely not be able to judge the enemy's situation in the case of a sudden night attack, and it was very likely that they would be stunned, and even if they were not confused, it would be impossible to launch a pursuit in the middle of the night without a moon.

As soon as they said it, the Dongjiang soldiers and the Korean volunteers cobbled together less than 5,000 people and cut and chop indiscriminately along the trenches close to the enemy in the dark, and two fires were burning on the rear position.

These two fires are exquisite, in a straight line, even if a soldier suffering from night blindness, as long as he looks back at the two points into a line of fire, he can roughly judge whether he has gone off the rails, and when he retreats, there is a fire in front of him to guide him and he will not get lost.

Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, Shang Kexi, Shang Kejin, Li Weiluan, Fan Hualong and other generals all took the lead, and all the soldiers knew that they would slowly retreat after beating and rushing for an hour.

The effect of launching a surprise attack in the middle of the night was good, at least it deterred the Houjin army, and Kong Youde, who did not know what was going on, strictly ordered his subordinates to stick to the spot and not act rashly, and there would be the next order when they waited for dawn.

In a scuffle, two or three thousand were killed and wounded on both sides, and the attackers were in a better situation and lost 1,000 soldiers, and nearly 2,000 people of the Houjin army died in the dark night of the third day of the ninth month.

When the Ming army successfully broke away from the battlefield and retreated into the second line of defense held by Huanglong and Jin Sheng, they counted the men and horses and found that the fierce general was missing, Shang Kexi, and it took nearly half an hour for more than a dozen Shang Kexi family members to arrive with the head of the family on their backs.

Trench warfare is not a dignified battle, and can only be divided into small teams led by the generals to grope forward, forming a multi-way raid. The direction of Shang Kexi's assault was the big traitor Ma Guangyuan stationed.

In the dark night, there was a family encounter between the henchmen of the Shang family and the Ma family, and it was like a copper pot touching an iron brush. Shang Ke was glad to see that he encountered a hard idea, and the more he fought, the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and finally the two brothers Ma Guangyuan, Ma Guanghui and more than 40 family members were killed by the Ming army.

Shang Kexi's family died nearly 20 people in the battle, and in the dark, Shang Kexi was also beaten in the chest by the dying Ma Guangyuan.

Even if Shang Kexi was wearing strong armor, he couldn't withstand a close-range blow to the chest, and when he was snatched back by the family, he was already unable to speak, and when he came to the second line of defense, he was already speechless with a mouthful of blood.

Shang Keyi, Shang Kejin and Mao Chenglu were helpless when they saw that Shang Kexi was going to return to the west, because they all knew that they could not be saved by being shot by a bird.

In the end, Shang Kexi said with all his might: "Lao Tzu killed the two brothers Ma Guangyuan and Ma Guanghui, who killed the traitors, and died without a loss!" "Died honorably and became a martyr of the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the planned retreat of the generals from all walks of life, and the large-scale defensive counterattack launched by Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, etc., Kong Youde did not know what was going on and did not strictly order his subordinates to chase after him.

When the Jin army rearranged and crossed the Yizhou defense line to attack the second line of defense, it was found that the Dongjiang soldiers had disappeared.

When Kong Youde led 50,000 or 60,000 horses to chase to the seashore, he saw from a distance a camp made of sacks of sand guarding the port.

After seeing a lot of red flags waving in the wind, he immediately thought of the robes that had been buried in the sea, the gold and silver treasures of millions of taels of silver that had been blackened and blackened, and hundreds of Hongyi cannons and Fulong machine guns.

Kong Youde viciously said to the old department of Dongjiang Town beside him: "It's the 'Red Flag Army' again, it's not that the enemies don't get together?" ”

Geng Zhongming also found that the "Red Flag Army" appeared in the port, and new and old hatreds welled up in his heart, and he howled and ordered 3,000 Goryeo servants to march forward in formation, and tried to attack with a three-stage salvo of 1,000 people.

Just as the Goryeo servant army approached the Ming army's position at 80 paces, the artillery on the sea and on the shore opened fire one after another.

The eight six-pounder field guns of the "Red Banner Army" arranged on the beachhead were directly aimed at the positions of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's Chinese troops, and the 24 one-pound furlong planes were all loaded with scattered bullets, and all of them were sprayed out at this time.

The Goryeo servants didn't have time to line up to release the guns and were beaten by scattered bullets, how dare they advance to the range of the bird guns to play three stages with the Ming army, and immediately "Mom! "Turn around and run.

Kong Youde was familiar with the performance of artillery, but he didn't expect that the range of the Ming army's artillery could still be better than that of the Hongyi cannon, and the safe distance he estimated was actually shelled.

Although the eight big iron balls of about five catties did not jump a few times on the soft sand, resulting in few casualties, the deaths and injuries of more than a dozen people also left an indelible impression on the traitors and traitors.

There was no way, and he could no longer stay in place and become a target for artillery, so the "Marshal Du" had to order the whole army to retreat two miles to collect the defeated troops of the Goryeo servant army and prepare for another battle.

Seeing the powerful firepower advantage of the "Red Banner Army" who came to reinforce Dongjiang Town, and seeing the heavy artillery equipped on those sea ships, all the traitors were ruined in the good mood of the past two years.

Traitor generals such as Shi Tingzhu, Zu Zerun, and Zhang Cunren, as well as the vast majority of Goryeo generals, suggested that repairs should not be hastily attacked on the well-prepared Ming army's port defense line.
