Chapter 247: Greeting the Emperor's Wrath
After the reshuffling of the high-level of the Korean Aid Army, Wang Yue became the natural boss. However, on the surface, he is still in third place.
Since the officials of the Ming Army Command had already arrived at the mountain fortress of Namhan, the Korean lord Yi Yu immediately rushed to meet him after hearing the news.
"Li Liang, a small country, has seen the lord of the upper country!" Chen Xinjia and Xie Bao were high-ranking officials at the deputy ministerial level of the Ming Dynasty, and their level was not much lower than that of him, the vassal king, so Li Liang was the first to salute.
Chen Xinjia, who went through the motions and handed in his name, looked a little depressed, so he subconsciously arched his hand, which was regarded as a return gift.
Xie Baoqing glanced at him, and then greeted Li Liang warmly with a smile on his face: "The lord of the country is polite, how can the lord of the country come in person?" It should be that we go to see the lord of the country. ”
Li Liang laughed and said, "It should be!" You're welcome! The state of the parents of the Ming Dynasty came from afar to rescue our country, and its feelings and righteousness made the small country feel inexplicable! ”
Then he looked to the side and asked, "Why hasn't Gonggong Gao arrived yet?" ”
Xie Baoqing looked at Wang Yue, and when he saw that he motioned for himself to answer, he had no choice but to make a sad gesture and said to Li Liang: "Ah! The lord of the country did not know that more than 100 Jiannu were mixed into my Baoding army, and they raided the big tent of our army, and Gao Gonggong sacrificed his life for the country in the fight with the enemy. ”
After speaking, he also made a gesture to wipe his tears. The ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and he can only say it according to Wang Yue's caliber. In this way, the imperial court will be confused again, and the imperial court and the Tiance army will not turn their faces, this is Xie Baoqing's greatest expectation. And Gao Qiqian can also mix the reputation of a martyr, which is worthy of him.
Li Liang was taken aback and said, "How can this be? What are the casualties of the army of the kingdom? ”
This is also too unexpected, it can actually let more than 100 fine workers mix into the army, and the energy of this Qing army is too great.
Xie Baoqing said: "In addition to the killing of Grandpa Gao, more than 200 soldiers were also injured. ”
Li Liang said repeatedly: "Fortunately, fortunately! Yidi is so cunning, the rank lord should be more careful in the future. ”
He was also frightened, if these Ming officials were served by others, the Ming army would have no commander, and it would inevitably retreat, and North Korea would be in danger.
Wang Yue didn't want to listen to them talk about this, so he said to Li Liang: "My lord, our army will immediately march in the direction of Pyongyang, and strive to drive Jiannu out of Korea as soon as possible." ”
The 7th Battalion at the front called, and the Qing army abandoned Kaesong and fled in the direction of Pyongyang. It seems that Amin was scared of being beaten, knowing that his men and horses could not stop the attack of the Tiance Army, and they ran faster than rabbits.
Li Liang was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is very good, if you have any needs, just ask, although the small country is poor, you must do what you can." ”
Without urging himself, the Ming army can attack so actively, can Li Liang not be happy?
Wang Yue said: "Grain, vegetables and other materials, I hope the North Korean side can help raise them." The 10,000 troops of Namhansanseong followed our army forward and received the cities recovered along the way. ”
North Korea can't help much, so it's better to get some vegetables and grain.
Li Qi said happily: "Leave these to Lone!" ”
Seoul is more than 200 kilometers and 400 miles away from Pyongyang. After three days and three nights of lifeless escape, Amin led the remnants of his army to Pyongyang, and there was no trace of the enemy behind him.
Facing the Taedong River rushing outside Pyongyang, I remembered that I led a large army to sweep through Korea with high spirits a month ago, and the enemy was invincible, what a momentum it was! Who knew that he was beaten back to his original form with a stick from the Tiance Army and became a lost dog.
Amin jumped off his horse and knelt down facing the surging Datong River and cried. Behind him were less than 18,000 Qing soldiers who were just as apprehensive as he was.
Huang Taiji had already received the news of the defeat of the Qing army sent by Amin, and sent Dolgon, the prince of Rui, to meet Amin.
When Dolgon saw Amin, he couldn't believe his eyes, was this really his cousin with his head held high forever and a murderous look in his eyes?
"Second Belle, how did you become like this?" Dolgon looked at the ragged Amin in front of him, whose face had turned dark because he hadn't washed his face for a few days, and asked in surprise, "Erbel, where is your army, why are there so many people left?" ”
Seeing Dolgon's arrival, Amin was both happy and ashamed, he drooped his head and said with a sad face: "Fourteenth brother, am I useless, I have failed the emperor's trust, and there are only so many people left in the 50,000 army now?" ”
"What?" When Dolgon heard this, his body shook and he nearly fell off his horse.
Amin only sent someone to deliver the news of the defeat after fighting the Tiance army, and did not specify how big the loss was. The loss is indeed too great, and the blow to Amin is too great, he really has no face to mention.
"Then Wang Yue is really so powerful? How many troops do they have? Dolgon's tone was full of shock and anger, and he knew the strength of the Qing warriors. What's more, the red flag and red flag elites brought by Amin are not far from the white flags under his command, even if they are against the 100,000 elites of the Ming army, they will not be afraid at all.
Amin said miserably: "They only have 5,000 troops, and the guns are very sharp, and they can't be defeated by me!" "He is a proud person, but it's a pity that he has encountered a monster like the Tiance Army, and it is impossible not to admit defeat.
Dolgon said loudly: "How about the firearms of the Tiance Army, we have also seen demonstrations, the number of such precision firearms and bullets must not be much, why did you lose so badly?" Haven't you thought about countermeasures? ”
The speaker had no intention of listening, and the faces of Amin and the generals behind him instantly turned red, and the 50,000 army was beaten like this by thousands of Ming troops, which not only surprised everyone, but even they themselves were so ashamed that they couldn't raise their heads.
All the generals were ashamed, but only one voice sounded in the rear: "Prince Rui, it's not that we are not effective in fighting, but that the Tiance Army is too terrible." Their firearms could be fatal three hundred paces away, and they rained down bullets in a continuous manner. Not only do their shells explode, but they also fire faster than the old firecrackers, which are also a rain of shells. Where is the small number? It's overwhelming! ”
Dolgon looked at it, and it turned out that it was Shoto, the Baylor, who was defending himself.
Dolgon shook his head and said, "Shuoto, no matter how sharp the weapons of the Ming army are, it can't hide the fact that you have suffered a fiasco. No matter how many excuses you use to cover up, it's useless, so prepare to meet the emperor's wrath. ”
Dolgon's words calmed everyone down, yes! The loss of tens of thousands of troops, Huang Taiji, really had to find someone to take responsibility.
