Chapter 92: The Korean War IV

Cui Ziye returned to Seoul in despair, and the king of Joseon had been waiting for news for a long time, and as soon as he saw Cui Ziye coming, he immediately summoned him.

When the king of Joseon saw Cui Ziye's face, he knew that the situation was wrong, and immediately asked, "How is it?" ”

"The minister is incompetent." Cui Ziye knelt on the ground and said, "I can't share your highness's worries. ”

"What the hell is going on?" The king of Joseon said, "You say." ”

"King Dongyu Ying said that he wanted His Majesty to go to the camp of the Qing army." Cui Ziye said.

"What?" When the king of Joseon heard this, his face sank, and he took a few deep breaths to ease up, and he was silent for a while, waved his hand, and said: "You go down, it's not your fault, there will be a time to use you in the future." ”

"Yes." Cui Ziye said. Then he got up and slowly went backwards.

"Sir, what do you mean by Dongyu?" The king of Joseon turned around and asked.

Zhao Yi knelt on the futon and said, "Your Majesty already knows, why do you need to ask me?" ”

The king of Joseon slowly closed his eyes, yes, such an obvious signal, how could the king of Joseon not understand it, the Qing court did not have the slightest intention of negotiating peace with Joseon.

"Dongyu is so light on me." The king of Joseon said sharply: "Do you really think that my DPRK is the meat on the board, and if you want to cut a few knives, you can cut a few knives?" Although the tone of the king of Joseon was very harsh, there was still some inexplicable weakness in it.

The confidence of the king of Joseon is not as hard as he said.

Although the words are not good, but in the past few decades, North Korea has really been meat on the board, and all the Qing court thinks about is how to eat it, whether it is braised or steamed, and it has never worried about not being able to eat it.

"Your Majesty, we must not be presumptuous in the current situation. The first emperor saved now, and the savings in the city can last for a year, but today it is cold and freezing. The Qing court was not allowed to besiege the city for a year. His Majesty only needs to rectify the soldiers, persevere, and issue an order from King Qin to ask for help from the Xia Dynasty. Zhao Yi said.

His words were to cheer up the king of Joseon.

When the king of Joseon heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

He immediately followed Zhao Yi's words, arranged for the city defense to be defended, sent messengers from all walks of life, and set off at night.

Azig arrived first with no more than 10,000 horsemen, and could only block the passage of the city gate, and if the messenger was hung down from the city, Azig could not completely cut off internal and external communications. Of course, it is impossible for all of these messengers to rush out.

Naturally, someone fell into the hands of the Qing army.

In the camp of the Qing army.

Countless torches illuminated it, and several Koreans were bruised all over the place, dragged on the ground by a few Qing soldiers, and everywhere they passed, there were red crystals.

It seems to be a masterpiece where blood fused with snow and then froze together again.

Following the traces of blood along the way, he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, where Azig sat on the main seat, on both sides

There are many generals, and they are extremely solemn. These generals are all in their twenties and less than thirty years old. A few are in their teens.

They are all the leaders of the younger generation of Eight Banners.

It's just that Azig sighed secretly in his heart: "Eight Banners, it's not as good as the generation." ”

Azig remembered that he had joined the army as a teenager, and although he was in a hurry to guard, he had to go through life and death several times.

Today's attack on North Korea, although the march was a little harder, but the battle was smooth sailing, and even so, some people could not hold on.

It's simply incomparable to what they were back then.

He had a hunch that in the future, the Eight Banners generals might have a fault, but there was no way to do it.

However, fortunately, he also picked out a few seedlings and prepared to focus on cultivation, including Tuhai.

Azig's eyes fell on Tuhai and said, "Tuhai, what do you think of the current plan?" ”

Tu Hai pondered for a long time and said: "Lord Wang, at this moment, the sky is cold, dripping water into ice, the walls of Seoul are already tall, if you pour water on it, it will be a strong city." Therefore, Seoul is not strong. ”

"I think that since Korea has ordered rebels in various places, it is just right for me. It is better to leave some men and horses under the city, and the rest of the troops will attack it. ”

"The so-called righteous soldiers are all rabble, three or five hundred horsemen, you can break thousands of people."

"If the Korean departments are cowering in the city walls, we really can't do anything about them before the rear army comes, and since they are out of the city, don't let go of this great opportunity."

"Okay." Azig laughed.

What Tuhai said was right in Azig's mind. The Qing army invaded Korea twice, plus this time, three times, all of them were cold winter invasions, and the battle was around the first month, not without reason.

Korea is a peninsula, but there are many rivers separated from it. In the spring and summer, for the Qing soldiers, it is a natural risk.

And in the cold winter, it is frozen, and it is a smooth road. It was the time when the cavalry of the Qing army used force.

As for the cold, although it also had side effects on the Qing army.

But for the Qing army, this little chill has long been used to it. Azig also had no idea of storming the city.

At least he didn't have that idea until the cannon came.

"How many people do you think you should keep in the camp?" Azig laughed.

Tu Hai pondered for a while and said, "At least three thousand." ”

3,000 men to support the camp of 10,000 people. In his mind, it could be done.

"No, Seoul is in Korea, at least divide the troops in four places, and attack them separately. Left three thousand, only six thousand cavalry, simply not enough. Azig said.

"Five hundred."

"Only five hundred. You're going to prop up this camp for me, you can say you can or can't. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tu Hai was shocked.

He didn't dare to say much for a while, although in the cold winter, the green tendons on his forehead collapsed, throbbed slightly, and he was already sweating.

Tuhai is a steady person.

But whenever he spoke, he left room for himself, and he said three thousand. If he is well pressed with water, 2,000 people, he thinks he can also hold up this scene.

But five hundred people. But it was beyond his expectations.

Tuhai raised his head and was about to speak, but he saw Azig looking at him with a smile, and he didn't know how to make Tuhai's heart froze.

A smart man thinks a lot, and in an instant he remembers his identity.

He is a person from Shunzhi, he was originally a waiter by Shunzhi's side, and was promoted by Shunzhi to the bachelor of the Inner Secretary Academy.

Naturally attached to the label of Shunzhi.

But Azig is not a proper person, the army has strict laws and regulations, and the superiors say that they will kill them, and there are not so many whys at all.

Tu Haiyi gritted his teeth and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

"Good. Young people need to have some energy. Azig said: "Immediately select five hundred elites to Tuhai, send troops overnight tonight, and strictly prohibit fireworks." There must be no violation, and the three watches will set off. ”

"Wow." The generals below said loudly. Then they scattered and went to prepare.

In winter, it gets dark early. At this moment, although it is already dark between heaven and earth, it is not deep at night, and there is still some time before the third watch.

Eight Banners is quite capable of action.

As soon as Azig gave the order, the army broke into the snow.

It is also today's wind and snow that is the reason why Azig must act so urgently.

In the past few days, it has been snowing intermittently. The clouds never dispersed. It's only occasionally that there is no snow for a few days, and sometimes it snows heavily for days, which makes it difficult to guess. It seems to be the effect of the Xiaoice period, especially cold.

If it weren't snowing, it would be easy to spot the traces left by the army on the snow, and only when they marched in such a heavy snow, the snow would hide their tracks.

And this snow doesn't know when it will come and when it will go. I had to hurry up now.

After the third watch, for a while, the army divided into several roads and disappeared into the wind and snow.

Tu Hai looked at the empty camp, bonfires everywhere, burning hard in the wind and snow. With no one to take care of it, it will soon be extinguished.

Tu Hai looked at the only five hundred soldiers around him, and he suddenly felt a little at a loss, how could these five hundred people support a camp of 10,000 people? His heart was empty, and he was not sure at all.

It's just that Tuhai has to do it or not, and then ordered half of the people to rest, and half of the people to maintain a bonfire in the wind and snow, training, and making various sounds, such as the sound of patrols and the neighing of horses, which makes people look from a distance and think that it is a camp of 10,000 people.

It's just that five hundred people are too few, and Tu Hai secretly said: "The arrival of the rear army will take twenty days at most." I just had to survive these twenty days, just twenty days. ”
