222 The Yellow Sparrow Didn't Think

Dorgon, who was hiding in the shadows, finally failed to give the order to attack the Qing cavalry behind him.

With almost all of Hongtang's troops entering Kaesong, Dolgon's plan was already in vain.

Compared with the field charge, the intricate alleyway environment in the city of Kaesong not only brought great inconvenience to Hongtang to completely occupy Kaesong, but also had a serious impact on Dorgon's cavalry team.

In order to avoid the sight of the reconnaissance team in the dark of Hongtang, and rush to the location of Hongtang's headquarters before the other party sent back the news, the team that Dolgon brought to the sea this time was their cavalry team.

Therefore, if Hongtang was still stationed in the plains outside Kaesong, Dorgon's army would be able to directly penetrate the opponent's fortifications under the cover of night; However, now that the other party had broken through the defense of Kaocheng City earlier than before his own sneak attack, and all the troops rushed into the city, it was naturally impossible for Dorgon to give up his strengths and lead the team to fight street battles with the Hongtang army.

Through this war, Dolgon's perception of the Qing Han army was even worse, and after returning to Huang Taiji, he repeatedly reported the matter to Huang Taiji, and finally introduced a more severe marching system, which is a later story.

They came full of confidence, but in the end Dolgon and they did not fire a single arrow, and rushed back with the cavalry overnight, catching up with the Han infantry who were camping in front of them, and joined them.

Turning his gaze back to the city, while Geng and Kong Er in the city went to surrender together, Wu Jie in the rear was not idle, and continued to pursue the Han soldiers scattered all over the city, and controlled the small half of the city step by step.

In the face of tonight's changes, even the most noble and brightest aristocratic class in the city can't figure out what happened in the city, why after the Qing army entered the city, someone came to attack the city!

Geng and Kong Er General had no way of knowing, and they didn't care, whether the Han army in the city surrendered or not meant little to them, it was nothing more than a matter of time.

Even if the other party really surrenders, it will not be easy for Wu Jie to deal with, you must know that the surrender of Geng and Kong Er General before made Wu Jie and them bear the burden of seven or eight thousand troops, this time if the Kaesong Han army also surrenders, then Wu Jie and their reserves of grain and grass will definitely have a huge gap, affecting their previous plan.

However, it is obvious that from the smiling faces of Geng and Kong Er when they returned, as well as the existence of several Qing Han generals following behind them, Wu Jie and they knew that this time the second general had a good effect.

"Returning to my lordship, the two generals were fortunate not to be dishonored, and successfully persuaded the Qing Dynasty Leader Shi Shenming and his party to surrender!"

Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde came to Wu Jie and Shang Kexi with five unarmed Han generals, and returned with a calm face.

"The two generals have worked hard, and your merits will be rewarded after you return to Dayuan Island."

"This is the duty of the last general, not a reward!"

"Sinners Shi Shenming and Duan Qirui ......, meet the two adults!!"

Under the recommendation of Geng and Kong, the five leaders of the Han army of the Qing Dynasty knelt in front of Wu Jie and kowtowed to apologize.

The generals of the Han army of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the main general position held by the Jurchens, other middle and low-level generals such as Zuo Ling and Baihu were all held by Han people who surrendered from the Ming Dynasty.

"Get up, in our Hongmen, there is no such kowtow and salute, as a military general, the kneecaps must be hard under the knees!!"

Wu Jie didn't like the style of kowtowing in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, and was imperceptibly influenced by Li Tianyang since he was a child, and now even in the face of Li Tianyang, the supreme leader, they are just saluting or raising their hands.

"Understood!"

Several Han generals who had just surrendered stood up tremblingly, separated from the left and right, and were at a loss.

The slashing sound outside the field became weaker and weaker, it seemed that after several important generals in the city were recruited by Hong Tang, they no longer had the backbone, and the action of resistance was naturally less.

"There are a lot of things to do tonight, but it's not good to leave a few generals to talk about it in detail, so it's better for you to go back and restrain your soldiers, so as not to be attacked by my Hongtang soldiers at night and increase casualties!"

Seeing that a few generals were restless, Shang Kexi suggested very intimately.

"No!!"

Several generals were overjoyed when they received this order, and their eyes shone and hurriedly took the order.

As the general of the defeated army, staying by the side of Wu Jie and Shang Kexi, several generals have been beating wildly and apprehensively. Until now that he was ordered to return, at least now it seems that the other party does not have much embarrassment for himself and others, but everyone's hanging hearts are also a little relieved.

By the time the city had settled down completely, it was already four or five o'clock in the morning, and because it was closer to the east, the sky was already a little white at this time, and it seemed that it was dawn.

After a night of noise and turmoil, the city finally calmed down, and the lecturers who had fought for a day and a night settled down in the city government and military camps.

It was not until this time, because of the communication between the Korean envoys who had followed them from Ganghwa Island, that the nobles and officials who had just been captured by the Han army of the Qing Dynasty in Kaesong Province figured out where this army that suddenly came in was sacred.

Important officials such as the Kaesong guards and the Jiedu envoys had already fled long before the city was breached, and the only ones who remained in the city were those who were not deep enough, who were loyal to the Joseon royal family, or who were all in Kaesong.

This is also an important reason why Kaesong was breached by the Qing army in only three or four days, otherwise with the fact that Kaesong was once a fortification for the imperial capital of the Joseon Dynasty for many generations, and there are thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of people in the city, where can Dolgon and their more than 10,000 people break through in three or four days!

These nobles and officials who stayed behind and were captured, for this Ming Dynasty army that came from afar to save themselves and their families at the time of safety, they were all grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Although Wu Jie's Hongtang army was not the official army of the Ming Dynasty, they did not explain much because of the influence of the Ming Dynasty government and Chinese culture in the Korean high-level.

After all, they suddenly had more than 10,000 generals and troops, and the resources and materials in their hands were not sufficient, and then they needed to use the Korean aristocratic officials to raise some materials for them, so pulling up the tiger skin of the Ming Dynasty to do things was not an unacceptable thing for Wu Jie and them.
