Chapter 109: The Battle of the Han River IV

Under the arrangement of the generals of both sides, early in the morning of the second day, the battle began, and thousands of horsemen surrounded the Xia army like wolves.

From time to time, more than 100 horsemen rushed to the front, opened their bows and shot arrows, and then left with one blow. If there are eagles gathered, they can be flipped at any time like birds and beasts. The attack and retreat were very fast, and sometimes the Xia army had no time to react.

Among the Xia army, they also reacted and picked out the people in the whole army who were the best in the army. A team of 10 people is required. A team, under the command of the captain, bombarded one person. In this way, the cavalry of the Qing army repeatedly fell in front of the Xia army. But this did not stop the harassment of the Qing army.

Under this state of alert, the march is slow, and the speed is not fast at all.

Fortunately, in the middle of the Han River, the Qing soldiers did not dare to cross it easily. Even if the ice can withstand it, if Xia Jun hits a few shells when the troops pass by, the ice will be broken in an instant, and it will not be one or two horses that will fall down at that time.

The two sides are so entangled, which can best show the success of Xia Jun.

In such a situation.

The Xia army still maintained a neat formation, the vigilance of the vigilance, the march of the march, under the command of the command of the Lingqi at any time, advancing and retreating as expected, advancing in turns.

At this time, the responsibility of the commander-in-chief was not Zhou Fuchen, but Yang Shenzu.

Yang Shenzu's experience in fighting for more than ten years was revealed at this moment, and it was necessary to ensure that the speed of the march was not slow. It is also necessary to ensure that there are no flaws, so that the Qing army cannot catch the flaws.

Azig has been staring at the periphery, and at the slightest flaw, the Qing army will enter in large numbers within a quarter of an hour.

And the current formation of the Xia army is a little thin. The number of people is small and the Qing army, once it gets into a melee, the result is very bad.

Although this battle seems very dull, it is a contest of patience and wisdom of the generals of both sides, even of determination.

Time is like a blunt knife, grinding delicately in the heart.

On this day, the army marched for more than 20 miles, and when it was slightly late, the army began to set up camp.

Tens of thousands of people dug a low wall on the spot. The walls are chest-length.

With the large-scale popularization of firearms, many tactics were naturally developed.

A large number of torches were burning, a lot of wood was dug out of the snow, and it was extremely difficult to burn, and there were not too many tents, and many soldiers were wearing blankets, huddled together, and lay around the fire.

Yang Shenzu and Zhou Fuchen were surrounded by several soldiers and slowly paced in the army.

Yang Shenzu said: "Lord Zhou, and the air is still cold today. Our preparation is not sufficient, although it is about ten days of work, if we have been outdoors, within five days, if we do not find a place to warm up. Even if the soldiers were able to persevere, their bodies were strong

I can't hold it anymore. ”

Yang Shenzu's footsteps suddenly paused, and he paused and took off his boots. Zhou Fuchen looked down, but found that Yang Shenzu's feet were missing several fingers. He then put his boots on and said, "This situation is too clear. ”

"First of all, starting from the limbs, toes, fingers, first numbness, as if there is no weapon. Then it will turn black and can only be chopped off. ”

"So five days can be short but not long."

Zhou Fuchen's face was a little pale, and under the light of the torch, it seemed to be a bit of a ghost.

Zhou Fuchen said: "This battle is a bit rushed. ”

Yang Shenzu said: "General Zhou, there is no need to be like this. There is no perfect way to fight a war. Today we have a very difficult march. Although it was also difficult, it was probably also extremely difficult to stick to Ganghwa Island that day. If you want to win a battle, it has never been difficult. ”

"As the commander-in-chief, you need to be careful in your words and deeds."

"You must know that mercy is not in charge of soldiers, the ancient soldiers are famous."

Zhou Fuchen said in a deep voice: "I know." ”

This is a dilemma, and now even on Ganghwa Island, the army is hastily encamped, and most of the buildings on Ganghwa Island have been burned down.

The army was stationed on Ganghwa Island and trapped in grain and grass, even if there was support from the rear, but without the support of the Koreans, after the fall of Seoul, it might have been better at that time, but the Korean strategy of Bactria was always going to fail, and now Bactria can't support it, a war across the sea.

Waiting for their fate, the only way is to go home.

In a hurry, the army went north, they all knew very well that there were many difficulties, and they also invited the Qing army to be on the side.

Although Zhou Fuchen has performed well in several water battles. But there's never a time to stand alone. Not so tormented.

Inevitably, there is a hint of floating. After all, some young.

"Report." A person suddenly knelt down in front of the two of them and said, "The spies have come to report, thirteen miles ahead, the Qing army has camped and blocked the way. ”

Zhou Fuchen and Yang Shenzu glanced at each other, and said secretly in their hearts: "It's here." ”

Regarding this point, Zhou Fuchen and Yang Shenzu also speculated in private.

It's freezing and it's a disadvantage for them. Everything was hidden under heavy snow. Even the firewood was not enough, so that the army had to sleep in the open. Similarly, such an environment was not friendly to the Qing army, and the camps they built were naturally not too strong.

That's good news.

It was more than ten miles north of the camp, in the camp of the Qing army.

Azig is also inspecting the camp.

But I saw that this camp was not much different from the camp of the Xia army, and it was all slowly built together with snow and mud

The short wall, and before the low wall, it was just a shallow ravine.

Azig took dozens of generals, looked at the past carefully, frowned slightly when he saw this situation, and said to the people around him: "This is too simple. ”

"Report to the prince. It was freezing on this day, and most of the timber within a radius of several miles was transported to the city to be used as siege equipment, which was really difficult to do, so it could only be used locally. That's all there is to it. However, the officers and men of the three armies are extremely brave, even if it is a field battle, as long as the Xia army dares to attack, they will be beaten to a loss. The prince decided not to worry. One of the generals said loudly.

This general's name is Chen Fu, a native of Ningxia, and he is also one of the old Qin army.

Chen Fu joined the Qing army in the first year of Shunzhi and made many military exploits. Now it can be regarded as a new one, and after the Battle of Anqing, the attitude of the Qing army towards the Han army changed greatly, and some soldiers were transferred from Shaanxi to the Fengtai camp. And this time to conquer North Korea, some of them were sent a lot.

Chen Fu is one of them.

Azig said, "Okay, it's up to General Chen tomorrow." ”

Chen Fu said loudly: "Please rest assured, Lord Wang, tomorrow I will see Xia Jun." ”

Azig said: "Let's settle down, wait for tomorrow's battle." ”

Azig left this place for Chen Fu, left with the group, and gave an order to the people below as he went: "Don't harass Xia Jun tomorrow, let them come over and talk about it." ”

"Wow." Several heralds shouted.

The wheel of the sun and the moon was not transferred by manpower, and it seemed that after only a few moments, the night was gone. The sun mixed with the cold snow shone in, and the hot white gas came out of the camp, not only the smell of cooking smoke, but also the breath of people.

After the Xia army left the camp, it was really a smooth road, and there was no harassment at all.

It's just that the more this happens, the more nervous they become.

The most nervous is Liang Huafeng.

Liang Huafeng, as a surrendered general, surrendered, although he had some merits, but he was also excluded from the army, so although he had a little title on his head, he was just a battalion officer above the official position, and his status was lower than that of the Qing army.

However, Liang Huafeng also knew that this was a normal phenomenon, so he could only endure it.

It's just that he is also a person with a bit of a temper, he has been reading the rules and regulations of the Xia Army, and studying Zhang Xuan's notes on lectures in the army, and secretly admires Zhang Xuan, whether it is this Zhang Xuan's status, or his views and interpretations of military theory.

Under his careful study, he was much stronger than many people in the Xia army. He gritted his teeth and just waited for an opportunity.

It's just that after the Battle of Anqing, I didn't dare to say that the world was peaceful, but there was no big war for a while. This opportunity has not been waited, he has been waiting, and finally waited until today, last night it was determined that Zhou Fuchen sent him as the vanguard to break through the Qing army camp.
