204 Next Target
The large-scale mobilization of the Qing people to the army was like walking on thin ice for the Koreans in the mountain fortress of Namhan, and they couldn't help but tighten the swords and soldiers in their hands.
Fortunately, the Koreans have been committed to investing in firearms over the years, and firearms such as muskets and artillery, which have no obvious advantages in field battles, have played a very powerful role in the battle to defend the city.
Almost half of the casualties of the Qing army came from the muskets of the Korean army on the city wall, and even Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, couldn't help but look at the Korean musket team with admiration, thinking about whether his army should also establish such a musket team.
Thanks to the dozens of tons of sulfur raw materials supported by Hongmen, the North Koreans were able to use arquebuses without fear of running out of ammunition in this battle.
Materials such as saltpeter and charcoal can be solved by soil methods, although the production of saltpeter may be low, but it cannot withstand the accumulation of years and months, and it is enough for North Korean soldiers to cope with this can be said to be a battle of life and death.
Of course, the actual combat effectiveness of the DPRK military personnel is still somewhat low, and the bad habits accumulated by the DPRK and China over the past several hundred years have made up for their military drills, which cannot be compensated for in the past few years.
After more than ten days of fighting, even with geographical advantages and other advantages, the North Korean soldiers on the defensive side were even different from the Qing soldiers in terms of battle losses, and more than 10,000 soldiers have been lost so far.
The movement of troops on the peninsula has been under the surveillance of Wu Jie, and Dolgon led the army to attack the city in the west, which not only will not make them feel unhappy, but will be happy to see it.
Wu Jie and the others were actually not afraid that the Qing army would be wary of them, but they were even more afraid that they would be like before, the army had been clenched into a fist, so that Wu Jie and they could not eat.
Even if the Qing army was wary of unknown dangers, and asked Dolgon to bring 15,000 troops to occupy Kaesong, as a key point between the army and Ganghwa Island, but in Wu Jie's opinion, the other party was afraid that they had underestimated their own strength.
The team of 6,000 people in Hongtang's army can now be said to be murderous, and after winning Geng Zhongming's water division in the first battle, the morale of the team has reached its peak.
Even if Dolgon has an elite team of 5,000 in his hands, but the Qing army invaded Korea this time, and there is Huang Taiji who drove the expedition in person, and the real elite of the Qing army team will definitely not leave Huang Taiji, the emperor, so the Jurchen and Mongolian Eight Banners in Dolgon's hands can actually only be regarded as a second-rate team in the Qing army.
And the Hongtang fleet, although their most powerful place is to rely on the fleet's strong ships and artillery, and they are invincible at sea, but in fact, after more than ten years of tempering, Wu Jie and Shang Kexi are still full of confidence in the strength of the soldiers under their command in land battles.
Even if the Dolgon side in front of him at this time had almost twice the number of Hongtang's fleet, Wu Jie and the others didn't take the other party seriously at all.
What's more, the other party definitely didn't think of a major advantage of the Hongtang fleet, that is, their mobility, as long as the Hongtang fleet was willing, they could go south from Ganghwa Island, go around in a circle, and land north from the place where Jeonju was located, facing the main force of the Qing army.
In other words, in addition to attacking Kaesong and plundering the characters in the city, Dorgon's army actually had another important task given to them by Huang Taiji, which had no effect on the Hongtang fleet for a long time from the beginning.
However, it is obvious that Wu Jie and the others have a great interest in the Dolgon they sent to the door at this time, and after integrating with Geng Zhongming's descending department, they have also had some cooperation after running in for ten days, and the more than 3,000 selected descending departments can also play some role.
Originally, Wu Jie was still delusional that he could bypass Dorgon and turn around and directly attack Huang Taiji's department, but after the reconnaissance team conducted a detailed investigation, and after careful discussion with Shang Kexi and the members of the Aircraft Department, Wu Jie finally gave up this tempting idea.
There are really too many teams around Huang Taiji, except for the loss of Geng Zhongming and the siege team, as well as the Dolgon team that was transferred to attack the city, there are still more than 50,000 people around Huang Taiji.
Even if Wu Jie was confident, he didn't think that he would be able to take down Huang Taiji, the Qing Emperor, among the guards of more than 50,000 people.
In the end, only Dolgon, the lonely Qing army, is the target that today's Hongtang fleet can gnaw.
After determining the target, Hong Tangde's reconnaissance team was thrown out by Wu Jie, and they were all over the radius of more than ten miles from Dolgon's headquarters, and they carefully reconnoitred.
As the commander of the special operations battalion, the most elite unit in Hongmen, although Wu Jie has left the special operations battalion, Wu Jie, who has been immersed in special operations tactics for a long time, has also habitually formed a team with special operations tactics as the core in his whale department after being promoted to the head of the whale department, and is full-time to investigate and refine intelligence for the whale department.
While sending a team to reconnoiter more detailed information, Wu Jie also sent a reconnaissance team of twenty-four elites to sneak to the headquarters of Huang Taiji and let his camera act.
And his own Hongtang fleet, as well as Geng Zhongming's department, seized the time to continue to run in, and strive to make greater progress, in order to be able to deal a severe blow to the Qing people when the real time came.
The actions of Hongtang's team, while gaining the deployment of Dolgon's army, actually exposed their own existence invisibly.
"What, another team of tooth soldiers is missing? Are you guys a bunch of rubbish!! ”
Dolgon is in a very bad mood now, although Dolgon, who is still young, has a strong military quality, but after all, he is young and vigorous, and when he faces the disgraced report of his henchmen that the sentinel team sent by his side has the information that he is missing, a nameless fire burns out from the letter, and he vents without leaving a message: "Tell me yourself, it's only been a few days, how many scouts have you lost?" You don't even know who the other party is, and you are worthy of being called the bravest warrior under my command!! ”
"The last will be damned!!"
Falling to his knees, not even daring to lift his head, Feiyangu replied guiltily that if possible, he would personally go into battle to capture this group of unknown enemies and let them bear the wrath of the Jurchen warriors with their lives.
"You deserve to die, but the current situation is not something that can be solved by your death, if Lao Tzu's task is mistaken because of you, I don't want your head, I also want your family to bury Lao Tzu!!"
"Starting tomorrow, all the scout teams sent out will be tripled, and we must find out the nameless bastard behind Lao Tzu!!"
"Chirp!!"
