Chapter 171: Battle of Cheongju IV

Azig reacted quickly, but Zheng Chenggong's long-planned trap could make Azig escape so easily. Zheng Chenggong has been scheming all the way, and he doesn't know how much hard work he has done, but it has been in vain.

I only listened to the sound of shouting and killing.

I don't know how many cannons roared.

The artillery shelled directly into the North Korean military camp.

At this moment, the last resistance of the North Korean army was not over, and there were still many soldiers who were fighting hard, but Zheng Chenggong did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and they were bombarded violently. Immediately panicked. And the Qing army was immediately in disarray. In a moment, from the left and right battalions, there were some small men, screaming and holding long knives, and rushed in bravely.

The first to go to war were the Japanese.

These Japanese people also seem to be self-aware, before the tight military formation of the Xia army, no matter how many people rush into the formation, it is a dead word. However, fighting alone, although there were generals in the Xia army who could defeat the Japanese, most of the soldiers could not reach the level of the Japanese.

After all, the Japanese have been trained since childhood, and the professional samurai who can't do anything except kill people are much stronger than the Xia soldiers who were either homeless or ordinary people before.

And for their part, the Japanese also wanted to show their bravery in hand-to-hand combat, rather than being killed by the cannons.

After the Japanese entered the battlefield, the battlefield became even more chaotic.

In hand-to-hand combat, although the individual ability of the Japanese samurai is not weak, the soldiers of the Eight Banners are never weak. At the beginning, I didn't know how many Eight Banner generals dared to take two hundred, three hundred people, and attack the Ming army's army of tens of thousands.

In many cases, you can still get out of it all over.

This certainly shows the incompetence of the Ming army, but it shows that the Eight Banners Army is mighty.

Although today's Eight Banners Army is much worse than when it first entered the customs. But the upper-level generals of the Eight Banners, such as Dolgon and others, have the intention of cowardly fighting, because the people of the Eight Banners are thin and cannot withstand losses, and they do not think that they cannot be defeated.

At this moment, in the melee, it was revealed.

Even though the Japanese occupied the prestige for a while, they were brought back by the Eight Banners in just a moment, but these Japanese samurai did have a tenacity, even if they fought extremely badly, they did not retreat.

However, the time that Japan has bought for Zheng Chenggong is enough.

Zheng Chenggong stood in front of the whole army, and the neat military formation formed a stark contrast with the chaotic camp opposite.

For the current situation, if Zheng Chenggong did not expect it at all, it is false. But if you are completely prepared, it is also fake.

The trap he prepared for the Qing army was that his home formation was swapped with that of the Korean First Army. Compared with the place of siege, the place where his military camp is located is a little biased, which is why he let go of the siege battle to Liang Huafeng.

It's just that along the way, he doesn't know how many means he has hidden. Zheng Chenggong himself has little hope for the Qing army. But he didn't expect Azig to crash into it like this.

Zheng Chenggong gave an order.

The sergeants of the brigade immediately rushed forward, approached the wooden wall of the North Korean military camp, and directly opened several gaps with artillery. Lined up.

Countless torches were lit, and from a distance, the rows of torches looked like flowing iron streams. Spread into the camp from all directions. Turning the night into day, Zheng Chenggong did not come quickly, but it was extremely stable.

The North Korean military camp was besieged from all sides. Shrinking inward a little, it was like a steamroller everywhere it passed, and the tent and other things were trampled to the ground.

The North Korean camp is huge.

This North Korean camp is the largest in the army, with 40,000 Korean troops, all of which are in it, so this camp is also the largest camp of the Xia army under Cheongju City. Today, it accommodates more than 100,000 people to fight, and it still shows that it is overcrowded.

And Zheng Chenggong wants to be so crowded.

Zheng Chenggong never worried about the power of the Qing cavalry charging into battle, but he was worried about the mobility of the Qing cavalry. He set up this ambush, not hesitating to use 40,000 Korean soldiers as bait, but also to confine the Qing army in this small field.

Even if you finish fighting the manpower here, as long as the Qing cavalry stays here. For Zheng Chenggong, it is also a big profit.

At this moment, Azig stood in the golden horde, looking around. At this moment, the firelight in all directions, a heart, seems to have fallen into an ice cellar.

Azig said in a low voice, with a bit of gnashing of teeth in his voice: "Zheng Chenggong, good, good Zheng Chenggong." ”

"Lord Wang, what should we do?"

Azig sneered and said, "What should I do? Kill it out. ”

Azig turned over and pulled the reins, the horse's front hooves flew into the air, and Azig drew his long knife with his backhand. said, "Okay." The order went down, and the armies assembled and prepared to break through. ”

However, on the battlefield, it is very easy to divide the troops. But gather together the soldiers who had been separated. It's not easy.

At this moment, there are still many Korean troops in the North Korean camp, and the resistance of the Japanese army, after all, even if it is four pigs, it will take a while to kill them. The Qing army gathered soldiers, and the remnants of the Korean army and the Japanese army immediately converged and resisted.

And the speed at which the Xia army is approaching will also be very fast.

Seeing that he couldn't retract it, Azig turned his gaze, took more than 10,000 soldiers, advanced instead of retreating, and killed the city of Qingzhou.

This turn surprised Zheng Chenggong.

Speaking of which, Qingzhou City is almost dead under the siege of the Xia army on all sides, and now even if the Qing army enters Qingzhou City, it is just a matter of survival. But Zheng Chenggong thought about it slightly, but he had to admit it. Azig this part, too

It's a good move.

To the north of the Guy North Korean camp is the camp of Liang Huafeng's headquarters, which is almost an empty camp at the moment.

Liang Huafeng and his headquarters have rushed into Qingzhou City. 、

Zheng Chenggong was worried that after the Qing army escaped from the encirclement, the place where he sent the most people was the place where the Qing army entered the Korean camp, that is, due south.

On all sides, only the North is the weakest.

Sure enough, Azig led the team to kill Liang Huafeng's camp, most of the people in Liang Huafeng's camp had already entered the city, and all that remained were some personnel on duty, as well as the wounded, where could they resist Azig Thunder's blow.

Azig said to Bolo: "Hold the gap between the two battalions, and all the troops only need to rush after me." ”

Bolo said, "Wow." ”

Bolo's heart may not be without doubts, but at such a time of crisis, he can still trust Azig, the prince of the clan. Even if it's a dead end, you have to follow it.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong also made adjustments, only to see the flag waving, and Zheng Chenggong's order was transmitted to Liang Huafeng's army.

Liang Huafeng is above the city.

At this time, Liang Huafeng's headquarters had already controlled one-third of Cheongju City. However, there was such a big thing in the rear, where was Liang Huafeng still in the mood to clean up the chaos in the city, just stubbornly guarding the vicinity of the city gate and climbing the city wall to look at the enemy.

He clearly saw the Azig army rushing into the Korean camp, rushing left and right, rushing to wherever they went, setting fire to wherever they went. But after a while, they ambushed Azig and trapped him.

I admired Zheng Chenggong a little more in my heart. Secretly a little ashamed.

Zheng Chenggong didn't know how many times, and the four nets were all lost, and Liang Huafeng couldn't help but feel that Zheng Chenggong was making a fuss. Today, when I really saw that the Qing army had thrown itself into the net, it was naturally ashamed. Seeing Zheng Chenggong's order, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Zheng Chenggong ordered him not to care about the affairs in Qingzhou City for the time being, send troops to stop Azig, and he must leave Azig behind, even if he can't stay, he must leave most of Azig's cavalry.

Liang Huafeng understood in his heart,

Although it is said that the battalions of the Xia army have surrounded the city of Cheongju.

However, such an encirclement also depends on the level of attack to deal with, Cheongju City is not too small a city anyway, if you want to encircle it tightly, more than 100,000 people are a little small, so in the encirclement, there must be some focus.

Of course, this encirclement is used to resist the assault in Qingzhou City, and the plan is okay, but whether it can be used to resist Azig's main force or not, Liang Huafeng is also very uncertain in his heart.

Sometimes the encirclement of three is missing one, not necessarily just psychological tactics, and even if they are all encircled, there may not be no weak links. Instead of worrying about where the enemy will rush out, it is better to leave them a place.
