195 The army is near

The Korean kingdom of Haka did not experience a real war, and the two classes of the kingdom had already begun to quarrel with each other.

At this time, Wu Jie and his group of Hongmen fleets, which were getting closer and closer to the Korean Kingdom, were entrenched among an uninhabited island in the Great Black Mountain Islands of North Korea.

At this time, they had already reached the territory of the Korean Kingdom, but Wu Jie and the others suddenly found that the difficulty of this expedition was very different from the war they imagined.

He hadn't even seen the Jurchens in person, and one tenth of the Hongmen's team of more than 6,000 people was bedridden and urgently needed time to repair.

Although Hongmen was well prepared, and the doctors and doctors of the team had already taken measures such as treatment and isolation when the team members began to show symptoms, they still could not stop more and more lecturers from showing symptoms.

Therefore, as a last resort, Wu Jie and Shang Kexi were able to find a place to settle down first, waiting for the team members to adapt to the new environment and climate.

Dayuan Island is located in a subtropical climate, and it is almost impossible to see ice and snow anywhere except on the high mountains all year round, let alone feel the scene of the northeast turning into ice.

As soon as they stepped into the boundary of the Yellow Sea, the entire Hongmen fleet felt the deep malice from nature, even if Wu Jie and they immediately issued thick cotton clothes to keep out the cold, but like the Hongmen soldiers from the indigenous families of Dayuan Island and the people of Jiangnan, there are still many people who can't adapt to the cold and biting climate in the northeast at once, and there are signs of cold and fever to varying degrees.

Not to mention where did everyone wear such a thick and bulky padded jacket military uniform during the daily exercises, but at this time, Haka did not go to the battlefield, and the entire team had already suffered a lot of discounts in actual combat ability due to equipment, illness and other factors.

Monk Wu Jie has been in battle for a long time, and he can't figure out that he took such a group of soldiers to fight at this time, and from time to time he went to make meritorious contributions, but to let his disciples die.

Therefore, even though they knew that a major war between the Jurchens and the Koreans was about to break out at this time, the two commanders still let the team stop and recuperate for a few days in this group of islands only a few hundred miles away from the Korean city of Hansan, waiting for everyone to adapt to the cold and cold climate here.

With the support of the members of the two almost one-sided main war factions in Korea, a small number of peace factions such as Choe Myung-gil and a few pro-Qing factions returned in a crushing defeat.

In the end, although he wanted to negotiate peace, the king of Injo had to comply with the will of the people, and the edict of the pro-king issued a decisive battle, and the entire Korean Hachido began to prepare.

However, compared with the Joseon Kingdom in the original history, in this era, because of the Hongmen warning the Koreans in advance, the pre-war preparations of the Koreans at this moment are much more sufficient.

Namhansan Fortress is the place where the next decisive battle prepared by North Korea, and countless grain and grass materials from the eight provinces of Korea have already been densely piled up in the city, and it is no longer like in the original history, where tens of thousands of people stuck to the city but were dragged down by grain and grass materials.

Among the eight provinces, except for the two northwestern provinces such as Pyongan Province, which are in the war zone, the army of King Qin of the remaining six provinces is already on the way, and at the same time, the king of Renguo also moved to the fortress of Namhansan, vowing to live and die with the soldiers in the city.

Of course, Originally, the king of Injo was going to retreat to Ganghwa Island, but as Hongmen participated in the chaos of Bingzi in this era, King Injo had more preparations for the world, but because he was worried that he would be surrounded by Hongmen to Ganghwa Island, he followed the original historical trajectory and chose Namhansanseong, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Namhansan Fortress, built on a mountain, enveloped it in a radius of more than 20 miles, and more than 13,000 people stuck to the castle in the original history, but in this era, there were more than 20,000 people guarding this place, so that King Injo was more confident in defending the castle.

The general who defended the city, the famous Korean general Yi Sibai, inspected and explored the walls of the city every day, checked and filled in the gaps, and carefully studied the defense strategy with Kim Sang-heon, the judge of Reejo, and others, to boost morale, and build the entire Namhan mountain fortress into a solid foundation, at least in their opinion.

The army of the Qing people came too happily, although Pyongan Province, Hwanghae Province and other places in Korea had already been prepared, but under the subway hooves of the Qing people, the news of the defeat was still transmitted to the mountain city of Namhan.

Ma Futa, the head of the Qing Dynasty, led three hundred Jurchen elites, almost raided and captured Hanyang City, if it were not for the soldiers in the city to resist to the death, I am afraid that under the echo of the Qing generals Duoyi, Yue Tuo and others, Hanyang City would fall into the hands of the Qing people.

However, even if it was not lost, the soldiers in Hanyang City at this time did not have the courage to go out of the city to fight, and could only rely on the strong city of Hanyang City to confront the dense Qing army under the city.

However, the North Korean army is not without gains, and the Qing army, which has always been the first to compete for warriors, dared to attack Hanyang, a major place in North Korea, with only 300 people, but it also seemed that the other party was so arrogant.

Compared with the original history, it took more than a month to prepare for the Korean kingdom in the world, no matter how bad it was, it could be regarded as some family background over the years, and Hanyang City was also well prepared, if it wasn't for the other party's vain attack, it wouldn't have let the city almost fall into the clutches of the devil.

However, after the North Korean army reacted, the 300 Jurchen warriors led by Mafuta were in the subsequent counterattack of the North Korean army, and only a few dozen warriors survived, and the rest of the more than 200 Jurchen warriors, including Mafuta, were buried under the city of Hanyang.

The impact of the sneak attack caused panic throughout Korea, and the people began to flee south with their families, and more were taken to Namhansan Fortress to resettle in order to strengthen the city's defenses.

Anyway, at this time, there was plenty of grain and grass in Namhansan Fortress, and even if an army of 50,000 people was stationed here, the grain and grass could last for more than two months.

At the same time, the death of the Qing Dynasty general Mafuta also greatly shocked the morale of the Korean officers and soldiers, and they also had a little more confidence in the strategy of relying on the city to defend the city.

At least, when this Jurchen man faced the fortified city, the combat effectiveness it displayed was still able to be handled by the Korean army.

The Qing army, which was frustrated in the first battle, no longer had any other scruples about this matter, and the horsewhip in his hand swung fiercely on the buttocks of the war horse under the seat, and led the army to kill quickly and ferociously.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the Qing army crossed the Zhenjiang River, took Guoshan City in two days, and then went south along the way, and it only took three days for the army to take Dingzhou and Anzhou, but compared with the original history, the time and loss were taken to take a completely different side.
