"What a pity!!"

Wu Jie watched the stall quickly move away to the figure, and said with great regret.

After all, the other party is a knight army, and it is the most mobile army in this era, and the Hongtang army has proven its strength in field attack and defense, but if they want to intercept a Qing iron cavalry that wants to retreat, they are powerless.

"Order, the rear team will stay in a battalion of seven hundred people to take care of the battlefield, and the rest will advance at full speed to stop the enemy before they withdraw from Kaesong!!"

Wu Jie was helpless against the Qing Iron Cavalry, but since his own existence was exposed here, he naturally didn't just want to compete with the second-rate cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, he also wanted to take down the 10,000 Han troops who attacked the city in the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde, who were staying by Wu Jie's side, were turbulent in their hearts, and they were even full of joy in their hearts for the behavior of themselves and others who abandoned the secret and surrendered to the light early.

Since the time when Mao Wenlong was under the command of Governor Mao Wenlong, Geng and Kong have been competing with the Jurchens, they are very aware of the strength of the other party in the field, every time they kill a Jurchen warrior, they need to pay the lives of at least five or more Ming warriors, just in the city attack and defense war or in an environment that is not conducive to the Jurchen iron cavalry battle, not as it is now, it is completely in the plain area that is most conducive to the Jurchen cavalry battle.

The two looked at each other, then turned their eyes back to the cannon behind them that had been lined up and was now being re-lassoed on the colt's back with the help of warriors.

This time, the Jurchen and Mongol cavalry were able to defeat the Jurchen and Mongol cavalry in the plains, thanks to these two dozen or so artillery pieces with an amazing rate of fire, power and crosshairs.

If it weren't for the rear artillery that had always marked the fire bombardment area in the rear and center of the enemy, forming an artificially created death zone that could not be taken care of between the front and rear, how could the musketeers in the front of Hongtang kill the opposing forward cavalry so easily!

The most incomprehensible thing for Geng and Kong is that the best artillery in the Ming Dynasty is not a bulky appearance with a thick back and a thin front, but the difference between the front and back ends of the artillery barrel used by Hongtang is not obvious at all, and the thinness of the pipe wall is afraid that it is the best in the entire Ming Dynasty!

It is such a cannon that should be useless in their opinion, not only in terms of power, but also the rate of fire is even more unexpected, often only a few breaths of time, the members of the Hongtang artillery team will complete a cannon from clearing the chamber to loading ammunition, and then to shooting, in the artillery shooting they know, I am afraid that most gunners are still busy cleaning the gun chamber!

"That's fucking amazing! If Mao Shuai had such a batch of firearms in his hands, we wouldn't have to stay on Phi Island all the time! ”

Geng Zhongming looked enviously at the artillery that was dragged by two horses and followed the large army forward, and couldn't help but sigh!

"Who said it wasn't, even if we had such a bird team at that time, we wouldn't have been bullied by the Jurchen barbarians and didn't dare to leave the island!"

is not only envious of Hongtang's powerful artillery, Geng and Kong, two veterans of the army, how can they not know that in fact, Hongtang's musket team is also a jaw-dropping and powerful existence.

After the First World War, the little caution with ulterior motives in the hearts of Geng Kong and the others was suppressed a lot, if there was such a powerful army in the other party's lair, then presumably the mastermind of building such a powerful army, the future planning may not only be that Dayuan Island!

When the time comes, the two of them will be under their command, I am afraid that there will be little place for them, and will there be nothing less to make contributions to the cause?

Geng Kong and the others originally had little reverence for monarchy and royal power, otherwise they would not have rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and defected to the working Jurchen barbarians.

Geng Kong, who was settling down to the west, seemed to have a plan in the letter, and then became more active by Wu Jie's side, not only pointing out the geographical forms he knew for Wu Jie, but also giving him advice, actively restraining his henchmen to cooperate with the battle, as if they were loyal.

Wu Jie is not a fool, he has been cultivated by Li Tianyang over the years, and there are inevitably people with other thoughts around him, how can he not detect the other party's thoughts, but for this kind of thing that is beneficial to Hongmen, he is naturally happy to see it, and even hinted at the other party in his words: If you behave well, our Hongtang will not be stingy with military merits and rewards.

Under the leadership of two generals who were more familiar with the terrain, more than 3,000 people in Hongtang's department were only about half an hour later than the Qing cavalry, and they pressed closer to the place more than ten miles south of Kaesong.

In the meantime, the Qing army, under the leadership of Dolgon, wanted to come back with a horse pistol, thinking that the main army of Hongtang would inevitably show flaws in order to hurry, but it did not want to suffer a small loss under the well-trained battle formation of the Hongtang army and melee weapons such as grenades, and there was no other idea.

By the time Hongtang's army arrived at the city of Kaesong, less than half of the Qing Han army had withdrawn from the city and joined up with the remnants of Dolgon's 3,000 cavalry under Dolgon's sternly worded retreat order.

It was not easy to conquer the city of Kaicheng, but before he had time to loot in the city, Dolgon, who had returned from defeat, issued an order to the main general of the Han army in the city to withdraw his troops.

Although I don't know what happened to Dolgon this time when he went south, he hurriedly learned that Doer's old-fashioned five thousand elite riders finally only came back about three thousand.

The shrewd Han generals did not care about the city of Kaesong, which existed like a jade girl in front of him, so he immediately sent his henchmen to the city to find his own soldiers, and forcefully ordered them to hurry to join him, and hurried out of the city to join the Dolgon cavalry; And those Han generals who knew that Dolgon was at a loss, but wanted to fight, took advantage of the last moment, with their henchmen, to wantonly loot in Kaesong, hoping to make a fortune and leave.

Dolgon watched everything that happened in the city with a cold eye, and for the Han army general who did not obey the order, the murderous intent in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed, but then when the Hongtang army hurriedly came, he quickly retracted it: "Since you want to send yourself to death, then you can't complain that the general is ruthless, just leave you down to break the general!" ”

"Withdraw!!"

Dolgon no longer waited for there were about 4,000 Han soldiers in the city, and without looking back, he led the Qing soldiers, who were only 7,000, to return to the original road.
