Chapter 118: Seoul Breakout II
Chapter 118: Seoul Breakout II
Looking down from the sky, bonfires are lit up and down the walls of Seoul.
And a little farther away, there is a larger circle, which is also lit bonfire, which is the long circle of the Qing army.
At this time, there were some people in Seoul who were mobilizing.
One by one, the straw man trees rose, and in the distance under the light of the bonfire, it looked like a figure, but he didn't know that the four walls were almost empty.
Tonight, under the arrangement of Zhou Fuchen, the Duxia army stationed on the city wall has no Korean soldiers. Because the Korean soldiers couldn't do it at all, such as Xia Jun, who quietly moved down from the city wall.
After the third watch rang.
Zhou Fuchen stood still at a secret door, but saw that in the dim light of the city, countless heads stood motionless. It's like a statue. The dim light of the fire made it difficult to see the expressions on their faces, but the word "perseverance" was written on everyone's faces.
Zhou Fuchen stood on a high place, raised a bowl of wine, and said loudly: "The importance of this battle is needless to say. If we don't, we will return to Ganghwa Island, and if we don't, we will be buried here, and it depends on your brothers whether we live or die. ”
Zhou Fuchen immediately drank the wine as well, and then smashed the bowl on the ground. Smash the bowl to smithereens.
Immediately, the soldiers below drank all the wine in their hands, and then the sound of countless bowls smashing came out.
Liang Huafeng stepped forward and saluted Zhou Fuchen and Yang Shenzu. said: "The end will go." ”
Liang Huafeng has emerged from the last battle, and he is valued by Zhou Fuchen and regarded as his right-hand man, after all, Zhou Fuchen's foundation is in the sailors, and there is a lack of intimate people in the army, and among many high-ranking officials in the Privy Council, he can be regarded as the most shallow.
And Liang Huafeng was born as a general. Among the Xia army, it can be said that there is no one to rely on. There was no backer, and when they met Zhou Fuchen, the two almost hit it off.
Today's night battle, that is, Liang Huafeng selected the elite soldiers in the army and took the lead, and the rest of the Xia army followed, the Korean army was at the end, and Han Wang and his party and the Korean ministers followed behind the Xia army, and the families of these ministers followed behind, and they could go, and if they couldn't, they just left.
But I saw a section of the city wall burst open, and a secret door had already been dug out. Liang Huafeng rushed towards the Han River with the vanguard, under the cover of night.
It's just that the Qing army is not a fool either.
Even at night, many people were sent to watch every part of the city wall of Hancheng, even if it was dark at night, they would not turn a blind eye to such a big move by the Xia army. Not long after Liang Huafeng's department left the city, the news had been reported layer by layer and reported to Azig's account.
Azig has been in full clothes for a while
And lying down. This is also a habit, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in this style all their lives, and when they marched and fought, they have never been able to undress and undress since they sent out the army. There was a slight movement outside. Azig woke up. "What's the matter?" he asked. ”
"Lord Wang, the Xia army is out of the city and heading towards the Han River."
"Smack." With a bang, it seemed that something had fallen inside. Immediately Azig's voice came out, saying, "Order, order the troops." ”
"Wow." Immediately someone said loudly.
The entire Qing army was boiling, and the generals of all the departments gathered together on the side of Azig, but at this time, the first fierce battle kicked off when the siege broke through tonight. In the dark, Liang Huafeng moved extremely quickly. Numerous explosions rang out.
Among these explosions, some were the sound of Qing artillery, and some had to be the hands of the Xia army.
In the darkness, Liang Huafeng fought extremely decisively.
This Shaanxi man, although he greatly admires Zhang Xuan's way of using troops and using the method of governing the army and training soldiers. However, there are indeed quite a few complaints about Zhang Xuan's restriction on the commander to go to the front line. Almost as soon as he saw a big battle, he had to rush to the front line.
It's the same today.
He was carrying two bags, which were full of grenades. He opened his bow from side to side, throwing with all his might, barely seeing the shadow of his arm. One by one, the grenades flew out, and they all smashed into the campfire.
Although in the Xia army, although there were repeated changes in armaments. Even the two North Korean armies are elite, and the ordnance is the best, but the flintlock, the grenade-bullet that can be pulled at the same time. There are still very few, and the reason is simple, it is the high cost.
So most of them have to be ignited before they can be thrown.
The other soldiers worked in pairs, and only after igniting the fire did they throw the grenade out. After all, this grenade-bomb, because of the composition of gunpowder, is not too powerful, and if it is not charged, the power will not work at all. Even so, this grenade-shell is not as popular in the army as guns and artillery. The lack of power is also one of the reasons.
It's just that Liang Huafeng boasts of being skilled. And the accuracy is very good, the throwing range is far beyond ordinary people, and the accuracy is so extreme that they are smashed into the campfire one by one. The bonfire then lit the arquebus, and the grenade-grenade exploded, albeit with little power. But the power of the grenade-bomb explosion blasted the bonfire open.
For a while, I don't know how many fireheads spewed out, and for a while in the Qing army, it caused great chaos.
Liang Huafeng almost flew up, jumped over the long circle of people and almost jumped up, fit into the Qing army, this battle almost began to fall into the hand-to-hand battle, which is also the easiest situation to fight at night. Fighting at night, the organizational capacity of the army was greatly degraded. Almost the last fight was a scuffle.
The two sides fought anxiously.
Liang Huafeng knew that this time was very tight, and the Qing army could kill it at any time, and only if it came out with a qi kill, it would be possible to succeed, otherwise, it would be troublesome.
Just when Liang Huafeng was fighting hard, the entire Seoul was also noisy at the moment.
In order to block the message. Today's breakout, the gentry and people of Seoul did not know about it at all, that is, when the cannon outside the city rumbled, the people of the family in the city knew what was happening, and many of the Korean army were natives of Seoul. He had a very close relationship with the people of the city. In the past, the North Korean army only knew that there was a battle tonight, but they didn't know what it was, but now when the battle is about to happen, they know that they are going to break through.
For a while, the discussion was full of panic.
At this moment, the various units of the Xia army have already rushed out of the city.
King Han saw with his own eyes that some of the wounded in the Xia army were carried on stretchers, carried out, and walked at the back of the queue, even so, the Xia army was not willing to be busy King Han brought more treasures, gold and silver. There is nothing to be done.
At this moment, the Korean army in the rear is chaotic, and the Xia army has no intention of staying, he wants to borrow a team of men and horses to calm the chaos behind, but it is impossible.
On the one hand, he was afraid to stay and couldn't keep up with the team. Stranded in Seoul, he was intercepted by the Qing army. On the other hand, the Korean army in Seoul is the elite that he has cultivated for many years, and there are many others, and it can be seen that the kung fu of defending the city is not weak in terms of defending the city for such a long time.
Looking at the whole of Korea, it is estimated that no army can defeat this part of the army.
This is his capital, and he is even more reluctant to lose it in Seoul.
But now that the situation of these armies is not to be put in order by a person of high moral standing to put things in order, it is impossible to withdraw from Seoul immediately.
Zhao Yi knew King Han best, knew what he was struggling with, sighed lightly, and said loudly: "King, the minister is willing to stay and rectify the soldiers and horses." ”
King Han had this idea in his heart, Zhao Yi was his right-hand man, a teacher and friend, and when he formed a new army, he also made a great effort, and he had a good relationship with many people in this army, and when he was defending the city, he also controlled the government affairs of Seoul and supported the city.
I had a lot of contact with generals at all levels.
It can also be called prestige in the army.
It's just that this order is almost a dead end, and he can't give it directly, but now Zhao Yi can invite himself, it's just better. Han Wang said: "All this is entrusted to the teacher. ”
Zhao Yi said: "The soldiers are in danger, please take the king first, and the minister will arrive later." ”
King Han is also welcome. With dozens of carriages of personnel and goods, he hurriedly followed Xia Jun, these dozens of carriages seem to be a lot, but they are already the number of his streamlined and streamlined. This is the essence of the Korean people accumulated over hundreds of years.
