After recuperating in Kaesong for a day, in fact, the most important thing was to help the officials who stayed in Kaesong to re-establish the city defense of Kaesong, and Wu Jie and his soldiers retreated.

When they came, there were only more than 5,000 musket troops, but when they returned, they had more than 2,000 troops, and while helping the officials of Kaesong to consolidate their official affairs, Wu Jie and the others did not forget to ask for thousands of stones of food from Kaesong for their own consumption.

Now Wu Jie and their army are a little deformed, when they came from Dayuan Island, the total number of their Hongtang army was only 6,000 soldiers, and after several battles, now the original team is only more than 5,000 people.

However, the soldiers of the Han army they have now recruited, Geng and Kong Shuishi, plus the surrendered troops who later stated that they joined, have now exceeded twice the number of soldiers in Wu Jie and their Hongtang.

Moreover, in addition to the two mainstays, there are other small gangs with their own thoughts, not to mention Shi Shenming and others, who were recruited yesterday, and they are even more chaotic.

If there are people underneath who secretly harbor ill intentions and collude in tandem, a little carelessness will put Hongtang's army in a predicament, and even be in danger of annihilation.

Therefore, after the original containment and annexation of Geng and Kongshuishi, Hongtang's army has skyrocketed to nearly 10,000 people, but in fact, the number of soldiers who can attack Dolgon's place has become even smaller, but there are only about 4,000 people, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are still Gengkong's sailors.

At the same time, Wu Jie and the others had to keep Geng Kong's second general by their side, not to mention precautions, but they were not without this thought.

And after recruiting Shi Shenming and other Han army soldiers, Wu Jie and the others suddenly found that their next marching plan was afraid that it would be completely frustrated.

After having no chance to raid the Hongtang soldiers of Wu Jie's department, Dolgon's troops did not stop any longer, and returned to Nanhansan Fortress where Huang Taiji was located with the rest of the team before nightfall the next day.

At this time, it happened to be the time when Huang Taiji and they set up a plan to defeat more than 10,000 elite soldiers in North Korea.

The battle damage that was lightly counted by the rear army's auxiliary battalion had been sent to Huang Taiji, and a sudden fire burned Huang Taiji and their tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass in half, and several granaries with serious fire were almost gone.

Affected by this, the grain and grass that could support the Huang Taiji army for two months can only be maintained for more than a month, and for the Qing army who killed the horses to come here, the way back will take more than half a month, and there is not much time left for them.

There is a more serious problem that occurred within a few days after the fire, that is, the horses in their horse camp have appeared large and small problems, abnormal rumination, diarrhea, weak legs, etc., experienced wranglers quickly found the answer, but the forage they prepared for the horses was mixed with an unknown but not very lethal herb, although their Qing army's war horses will not die after eating, but there is no combat effectiveness at all!

In many cases, directly poisoning the war horse is not the best choice, but as it is now, it can not only make the most effective cavalry of the Qing army become an ornament, but also make the Qing army need to spend a lot of effort and cost to take care of the problems that arise in the horses.

"Do you know how sacred the other party is?"

The Emperor was unfazed, and listened carefully as Dorgon told him what had happened to them about their siege.

"Brother Huang, I have already found out through the soldiers and captured Koreans below, this guy who secretly spied on our Qing army and made us suffer several big losses is the navy army of the Fujian Navy of the Ming Dynasty."

The Hongtang army was dressed as a Han Chinese, and at this time there was a frontal battle with the other party, and there were still well-informed people under Dolgon's command, and among the opponents they had who could have this strength, they could still find some clues after all.

"Fujian sailor? Does the Ming Dynasty still have such an army that can fight? ”

Huang Taiji was very surprised, since the death of Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, there has long been no opponent who can impress Huang Taiji.

Although Yuan Chonghuan, who was persecuted by Huang Taiji using a discordant strategy, was a famous general, which made Huang Taiji look at it twice, but the strength of Yuan Chonghuan's department was not in the field, but in the use of the defense lines and cities in Liaodong to stick to the defense.

However, this army suddenly appeared and was able to defeat the army led by his most brave and warlike fourteenth brother, and it was still in the wild plains, which made Huang Taiji not surprised.

"Your Majesty, Li Tianyang, the commander of the Fujian Navy of the Ming Dynasty, was originally born in Nanyang Jukou, and later took the initiative to take the door of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the former dynasty, accepted the imperial court Zhao'an, and became the commander of the Fujian Navy Division."

The person who spoke was Fan Wencheng, as an important adviser of Huang Taiji, he had heard of most of the information in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Hongmen, under the leadership of Li Tianyang, have always pursued the routine of making a fortune in a muffled voice, their prestige in the Nanyang area has been heard of even by the intelligence system of the Qing Dynasty in the northeast.

"It is said that this General Li Tianyang, since his rise on Dayuan Island in the South Seas, has defeated Yuan Laoba, Yan Siqi and other sea giants, and even a powerful prince of the Oriental Wa Kingdom and Western barbarians have been defeated under their hands.

"It's just that Wechen can't figure it out, their camp is at sea, and there is no serious conflict with us attacking North Korea, so why would they send troops to help the North Koreans? Aren't they worried that they will anger our Qing Dynasty? ”

The reason why Fan Wencheng has this understanding of Hongmen is because when he chatted with Geng Kong and the two generals some time ago, he heard them talk about several sea strongmen in the Eastern Seas now, and as the well-deserved overlord of the Eastern Seas, Hongmen's news is naturally indispensable and cannot be avoided.

"Uh-huh............"

Huang Taiji fell into deep thought, for this new enemy, to say that he really attaches great importance to it, it must be impossible, their opponent now the Qing Dynasty is looking forward to is the powerful Ming Dynasty in the southwest, and a mere acceptance of the Ming Dynasty's rule of Zhao'an and the like is not worth Huang Taiji's attention.

And his current deep thinking comes from the fact that when Dolgon described the battle scene to himself, he said that the firearms tactics of Hongtang's army were very different from the Eastern firearms tactics of this era.
