Different from the original history, in this era, because of the advance notice of Hongmen, the Qing army originally only spent more than ten days to kill the scene under the city of Hanyang, until the fifth day of the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen, and the goal was not achieved.

The reason for this is naturally that the two cities of Ping'an and the Yellow Sea along the way are fully prepared, although in the end, in front of the 100,000 Qing army, they either temporarily avoided their front, fortified the city to defend, or the Qing army broke through the withering and decaying general, but still caused a lot of damage to the Qing army.

According to the information collected from various places, the Qing army lost no more than 10,000 men in at least the battles along the way, which is extremely good news for the Korean kingdom.

The Qing Dynasty decided to send troops to the Korean Peninsula in the cold winter, hoping to take advantage of the cold climate and environment in the cold winter season to break through the many moats in Korea: the Yalu River, the Qingchuan River, the Datong River and so on.

However, it is also because of the harsh climate and environment, the impact on the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry is extremely important, especially the horsepower of the war horse, which is far weaker than when the climate is warmer.

Therefore, in the Korean mainland, the well-prepared Koreans took advantage of the familiar geographical environment, the regular army occupied the important area of Gaocheng and gathered to defend it, and the ordinary people, under the leadership of the local wealthy clans, actively launched guerrilla warfare and harassed and attacked the Qing people.

It was not until the main force of the Qing army, under the leadership of its emperor Huang Taiji that he joined forces with generals such as Dragon Bone and Dolgon, and finally surrounded the mountain city of Namhan on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which was supposed to be a happy festival for the Korean family.

After the loss of their lord King Injo, Hanyang also lost its spiritual status, and after the Korean people knew that the king had moved to Namsan Fortress to fight to the death, there was no need for Huang Taiji to spend energy and military power on an empty shell of Hanyang City.

Looking down from the head of Namhansan Castle, there are armies everywhere, or arraying troops, or patrolling the four fields, surround a Namhansan Fortress that stretches for more than ten miles.

The battle was about to break out, and the soldiers at the head of the city were all tense, staring at the bottom with solemn and nervous expressions.

Li Shibai, as the chief general guarding the city, checked and filled in the gaps every day, and did not dare to be a little lazy, but fortunately, there were ministers such as Jin Shangxian and Cui Mingji to assist one or two, but it also allowed tens of thousands of soldiers in the city and the people of Hanyang City who were relocated to live safely.

Although Cui Mingji advocated peace talks, he actually considered it from the perspective of the dynasty, but since the king had issued an edict of death at this time, he naturally had to fulfill his duties as a courtier and do his best to help the court guard the city.

Of course, secretly Cui Mingji did not give up negotiations with the Qing people, and tried to get the Qing people to lower their conditions and bring the whole matter back to the negotiating table.

The mountain city of Namhan seems to be strong, and the city is built around the high mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in fact, it is limited by the lack of manpower and material resources in North Korea, and the city wall that stretches for more than ten miles is not as majestic and mighty as the city of the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the city walls in the Nanhan Mountain City are only one zhang high, and the thickness is not as good as the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.

If the misfortune really allows the Qing people to break through the city, then the retreat prepared by their side can always leave a little hope for the kingdom.

The tentative attack of the Qing people gradually rose with the last slogan of surrender to the Korean soldiers in the city: the artillery on the hastily built fort had been pulled up long ago, and after a roar, the air was torn apart, and it fell to the left and right of the high walls of the city, bringing with it a burst of earth-shaking shaking and random splashes of dust and debris; Beneath the city walls, groups of battles spraying thick heat and brandishing cold blades were silent, or shouted and killed at the city walls.

"Attention, all iron gunners, without an order, are not allowed to open fire without permission!"

"Listen to me!"

On the city wall, one by one, middle and low-level military attachés, regardless of the bows and arrows and bullets whistling past them from time to time, stared at the Qing soldiers who were resolutely charging upwards below, waiting for the best shooting distance.

"Put!!"

It was not until the besieging army rushed to within 100 paces of the city wall that the Korean officers roared, and then after the crisp sound of firecrackers in unison, most of the Qing people who charged in the first row fell back as if they were smashed by an oncoming hammer, and fell to the ground without moving.

However, more of the Qing soldiers did not look at the fallen colleagues in front of them, and stepped on their corpses and resolutely charged forward, if they did not charge, the swords and soldiers of the squad of supervisors and slashers behind them were no more dull than the enemy's guns.

"The first team takes a step back to change ammunition, and the second team is ready to shoot!"

The Korean soldiers on the city wall were also calm and calm, and after getting through the initial calendula and apprehension, the strong will to survive burst out at the critical moment of life and death made the weapons in their hands tighter and the bows and crossbows and muskets more accurate.

"Fire oil ready!"

"Ready to boil!"

As the soldiers in the siege area under the city wall began to climb up, more Korean soldiers began to get busy, carrying out the equipment that had been prepared to defend the city, aiming at the Qing people below, and throwing them down, with bursts of screams and wails.

In the end, it was not until more than two hours later that the siege of the Qing people came to an end, and after leaving behind a corpse, they slowly and orderly retreated to safety and reorganized.

The Korean soldiers on the mountain fortress of Namhan also breathed a sigh of relief, slowly licking the wounds on their bodies, and rescuing the wounded companions and the already cold corpses.

"Zhongqing has worked hard!"

In the palace in the city, King Injo of Joseon, who had just calmed down from a burst of panic, couldn't wait to summon a kind of meritorious soldiers.

"Loyal to the country!"

A cadre of military generals led by Li Shibai's guardian envoy knelt in front of him, and traces of the gunpowder smoke of the battle array could be vaguely seen on his body, and some military attachés even had bandages on their bodies, which was quite embarrassing.

"At this time when the country is in danger, fortunately, there are still loyal ministers and soldiers to protect it, and the country is fortunate and the lonely king is lucky!"

"After the battle, the lone king should be rewarded for his merits!"

"Your Highness!"

"However, after this battle, what are the casualties of our army? And what about enemy losses? ”

"Your Highness, this battle is just a test of the Qing army, most of the soldiers and horses used are part of the Han army, although they were repelled by our army, their actual combat strength is not damaged, and the next opponent's offensive may be stronger!"

"However, the losses of our army are also very small, most of them are caused by their bow and arrow shooting and artillery accidental injuries, and the same losses are not heavy, and there is no big damage!"
