One thousand and sixty-one Mao Wenlong crossed the river
Like most North Korean elites, Guo Zaiyou looked down on the Jurchens and despised them, calling them savages and barbarians.
He started as a member of the People's Army, and he led the People's Army to defeat the Japanese in the Battle of Korea, so that he got the rank of advancement and entered the government as an official, and he thought that he also had some military ability, and he was full of disdain for these invading Jurchens.
He was very confident that he could definitely kill those invading Jurchen barbarians, and he didn't need the army of Hamgyong Province to help him at all, and since the destruction of the cavalry of the Six Towns, the Hamgyong soldiers, who were known for their ability to fight, had become more and more downhill, which was really ridiculous.
Guo Zaiyou despises them very much.
On the first day of October, when Guo Zaiyou led his troops from Seoul to Kaesong, he unexpectedly received an urgent military information, it turned out that three days ago, Yongbyon was attacked by the Jurchen barbarians, the city was swept away, the people were plundered, the property was looted, and the whole city was destroyed.
Guo Zaiyou was a little concerned, but still did not increase his army, but continued to lead the army forward, two days later, he arrived in Ruixing, only to get the news of the fall of Dingzhou, this news moved Guo Zaiyou, he finally realized that the enemy he faced may not be easy to deal with.
He stopped in Ruixing and sent people to the north to find out the news, but the news was worse and worse, today this village was slaughtered, and tomorrow the town was looted again, as if this Jurchen barbarian was poor and crazy and hungry and stupid, and carried out a crazy plundering of North Korea.
You must know that after the end of the war seven years ago, Korea was also miserably plagued by Japan, and none of the eight provinces were intact and unviolable.
The DPRK has suffered heavy losses and displaced people, and although seven years have passed, the entire DPRK has not recovered from the losses of that year.
Although the Ming Dynasty gave them some silver taels for a little help, these silver taels could not restore them to their previous days, and Zhu Yijun's kindness was not enough to make North Korea recover.
And even if they were given a million taels of silver, they would still not be enough, because most of them were taken away by the two classes of ministers.
They worked tirelessly for seven years before they could finally live a few days of peace and barely have a good stomach, and now they have been killed by the Jurchen barbarians, what is this?
Guo Zaiyou started with the people's army, he was more concerned about the lives of the people, sympathized with the people at the bottom, and was furious about this, so he pulled some local soldiers and horses in Ruixing, and along the way, he brought some local defense troops to march towards Pyongyang.
At this moment, he still didn't know who the enemy he was facing, but he thought that it was a mad Jurchen barbarian whose purpose was to plunder.
They didn't know about the war with Great Qin in the Jurchen territory, and Nurhachi crossed the river before the news came.
At this moment, Mao Wenlong, who arrived at Kuandian Fort, also led his army to set foot on the land of North Korea, and it had been several days since he arrived at Kuandian Fort, and the reason why he did not cross the river quickly was mainly due to communication with the North Korean side.
He sent people to Uiju to inform the North Korean officials of the news of the Jurchen invasion, but the North Korean officials did not believe it at all, because they did not receive any news, and when they got the news, they were frightened into a cold sweat, because Nurhachi directly ignored Uiju and went directly to Yongbyon in the south, which escaped and Yongbyon was destroyed.
So, the memories of seven years ago came to their minds, and they almost immediately thought of that terrifying scene, so they quickly asked Mao Wenlong to lead the army to cross the river to protect them.
Mao Wenlong received a military order from Ma Chong when he was building a pontoon bridge, and Ma Chong asked him about the authenticity of the matter, and said that if the matter was true, he could lead his 2,000 cavalry to cross the river first, but his large army had to ask the emperor for instructions to cross the river, because the situation had exceeded expectations, and many plans had to be reformulated.
Mao Wenlong then crossed the river decisively, without hesitation, and then asked Yizhou to provide him with grain and grass.
The Korean officials in Yizhou did not dare to snub the Great Qin Heavenly Soldiers, and immediately offered some of the accumulated grain and grass to the Great Qin army to use, after all, there were only 2,000 cavalry, and some food was still available.
Before and after Mao Wenlong crossed the river, Luo Rong chased the defeated soldiers all the way to the place where they crossed the river, broke the palace troops in Jianzhou, found traces of crossing the river and the destroyed pontoon bridge, and realized that the people of Jianzhou had indeed crossed the river to North Korea to survive, and couldn't help but be very worried, and told Ma Chong the news.
Ma Chong was also worried when he learned about it, and he couldn't make his own decisions, so he asked Liao Zhong in Shenyang again.
Liao Zhong only learned the news after Mao Wenlong led his army to cross the river, and after learning the unexpected news, he was very surprised, and immediately sent someone to report to Xiao Ruxun of the Beijing Division, asking for a solution, and then set off to Kuandian Fort to meet Ma Chong.
All in all, it feels like everything happened again seven years ago, and the only thing to be thankful for is that Nurhachi's main force has been annihilated, and the remaining army will not exceed five thousand people, and as for those who fled with him to Korea, it is estimated that the number will not be too many.
Chu Ying is trying his best to gather his own people, and then go to find those who have migrated away, trying to re-establish the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe in Hetuara and become the leader.
He was worried, because his family had not been found and had not died, so it was clear that he had fled with Nurhachi to North Korea.
Even so, he could not participate in the next battle, he had to stabilize the hearts and minds of the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe in Hetuala, and at the same time guard against the sudden attack of the Haixi and Donghai Jurchen tribes, so as to avoid the complete destruction of the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe.
The next battle belonged to the Qin army, or rather, the next period of battle belonged to Mao Wenlong himself, and Mao Wenlong finally got the coveted opportunity to show his strength and prove his talent to the emperor.
He made an estimate to determine that there would not be many troops around Nurhachi, and there would be no losses in the Korean campaign, it was conceivable that it would not be difficult to defeat him, but there were only 2,000 people around him, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Zu Chengxun back then, he was very cautious in assessing the difference in military strength between himself and Nurhachi.
Then it was concluded that it was impossible to engage head-on.
But not being able to fight head-on does not mean that he can't fight, Nurhachi has no way to retreat now, he can only go all the way to the south, and he doesn't know how many people there are in the army of the Great Qin Heavenly Soldiers crossing the river, if he plays the banner of the main force and pursues him behind, he will inevitably accelerate to the south.
In his case, if one soldier dies less than once, even if the North Korean army no longer has combat effectiveness, it can still be done by changing ten for one, as long as Nurhachi is driven all the way south and close to the core of North Korean rule, it will inevitably cause the North Korean army to counterattack with all its might, and Nurhachi's strength is only a few thousand, and no matter how much he fights the North Korean army of tens of thousands.
Take 10,000 steps back, the North Korean army is all waste, and it will collapse at the touch of a button, so you can take away a few Jurchen soldiers, right?
Killing them would also be a waste of Jurchen soldiers' physical strength, right?
At that time, you can send people to attack them.
Drain their stamina, drain their vitality, drain their courage, and then kill them again.
As for the losses of the North Koreans......
What's the matter with me?
Mao Wenlong sneered.
