Chotong Island, which is located off the coast of Ganghwa Island, is a very quiet and calm place. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Chen Ming didn't know anything about this small island, and when the secret camp sent the Korean battlefield information transferred by Chen Dai to him, Chen Ming looked at the North Korean map that was sent together, and he still had no mark on this inconspicuous island. He didn't remember that in the 21st century in his previous life, it was the guards on this small island who caused the sensational shooting of a passenger plane by South Korean soldiers.

In this time and space, the inconspicuous island next to Ganghwa Island is the frontier position of the Qing army's naval division.

When Chen Dai and Shi Xinxiong led the team to Korea, the Qing army's land troops had already reached Kaesong. The waterway vanguard arrived at Qiaotong Island.

Jotong Island is very close to Ganghwa Island.

Before that, Li Yu [King Yingzu of Joseon] had already sent Li Su and a large number of family members of Korean nobles and ministers to Ganghwa Island. Li Yu himself continued to stay in Seoul, and if necessary, he would lead people to evacuate to the mountain fortress of South Han, while Li Chong had already arrived in South Korea, and not only loudly appealed to the local authorities in South Korea to organize reinforcements to help Seoul, but also personally organized a team called the 'Zhuang Yong Battalion'.

Chen Dai and Shi Shinxiong's fleet arrived at the junction of Chungcheong-do and Jeolla-do, and quickly contacted Jeonju, and then with the guide sent by the Jeonju government of North Korea, the fleet was divided into two routes, one to the east, to Jeju Island, and the other to the west, straight to Ganghwa Island.

In the letter sent back by the clipper, Chen Dai recorded the scene when the officials of North Korea's Jeonju saw him in a tone of pride and pride and a little coke mockery, and Chen Dai used two idioms to describe it: 'five bodies to the ground' and 'weeping bitterly'.

Chen Ming looked at the letter, thinking about the exaggerated performance of Korean actors in the costume Korean dramas he watched in his previous life - if it is true, it is indeed very likely that there will be five bodies and crying bitterly. When those Koreans saw the fleet of the Fu Han army, they probably thought they had hit a savior.

Then, the fleet to the west attacked the Qing army's naval division on Qiaotong Island, destroying eight of its large and small warships. Then they retreated to the sea off Ganghwa Island, which is not far away.

Ganghwa Island is not big, don't look at the Jianghua Mansion on it, then in fact, the administrative level is no different from a county in China. And a county here in North Korea is like a town in China.

The area of Ganghwa Island can only be regarded as a half-county in China, but there are many county systems such as Yinhuo, Heyin, Yuekuan, Ganghwa Fucheng, and Longjin. There are many places that need to be heavily garrisoned. Who let the Qing army still have a strong naval division in their hands - relative to the Korean naval division - ...

Don't look at Ganghwa Island is not big, but the mountains above are roughly divided into three parts, the northernmost Belitsu Mountain, the middle of Goryeo Mountain, the south of Zhenjiang Mountain, Mani Mountain and Jixiang Mountain, but the terrain is quite complicated, to be honest, it is not very easy to defend here. If the enemy does not have a sailor, as in the current situation, it will be a fishing net, full of loopholes.

……

If this is a calm day, then dragging a recliner under the sun and basking in the sun will be a great enjoyment.

It's winter!

The temperature of the day rises to its highest point at this time.

Every soldier of the Marine battalion marching in the mountains was now tired and panting and sweating. Even though they're already traveling as lightly as possible, they just can't be fast.

The moon string has fallen. The attention of the Koreans was on the naval division of the Fu Han army and the naval division of the Qing army facing each other off Ganghwa Island [south], and in the land direction - the Qing army in Kaesong attacked the moon string at night in a small boat, but it was easy to get the [north]. Now the vanguard of the Qing army has attacked the city of Jianghuafu.

Therefore, the naval division of the Fuhan Army off Ganghwa Island could only let the Marine Battalion take a logistics boat to land on the south bank of Ganghwa Island in Heyin, and then cross most of Ganghwa Island and quickly advance to Ganghwa City on the other side.

The distance is not very far, the distance in a straight line is only about 20 miles, but half of the mountain road in it has to pass through the Goryeo Mountain.

"Quick, quick. Keep up, keep up—" Deng Yun stood on a nearby rock, shouting at his exhausted soldiers. Sweat left on his forehead and neck, and the whole person was like taking a bath. Deng Yun kept wiping the sweat on his face and neck with his hands.

After a long journey, the physical exertion is extremely great, but now it is still necessary to persevere. The Marine Battalion must also hold on! This is an opportunity, an opportunity for him to really gauge the combat effectiveness of the Marine Battalion.

The team that launched an attack on Jianghuafu City was the trump card of the Qing army, the Eight Banners New Army, and their land battalion was also the elite selected from the thousands of Fu Han troops.

"Brothers, work hard, there is a mountain pass ahead, out of the mountain pass, we can see Jianghua City, let's go to the place!" Deng Yun continued to encourage him verbally, and now he can only do this. "Wangmei quenches thirst", the mountain pass of Goryeo Mountain is still some distance from Ganghwa City, and his current location is really some distance from the mountain pass.

But it does motivate the soldiers.

Now all the soldiers have only one thought left in their heads, and that is - forward, and forward. They must rush to their destination before the Qing army captures Jianghua City, otherwise they will run in vain. And it is very likely to be counterattacked by the Qing army.

There are the royal concubines of North Korea in Ganghwa City, as well as the families of Korean princes and ministers, they are about to fall into the hands of the Qing army, how can North Korea still hold on?

……

Ganghwa City.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray—"

Another reinforcement arrived, and the defenders in the city cheered happily, and the sound of joy resounded throughout Jianghua City, and also drifted far away to the position of the Qing army.

"What are the North Koreans on the other side calling? Is it cheers? "The commander of the front line of the Qing army is none other than Tu Lin, the whole one, he asked Tu Lin, the guide beside him, with a frown.

"My lord, the North Koreans are shouting long live." Túrin was a subordinate of the Imperial Court and could speak Korean, so his face stiffened slightly. It was clear that there was good news on the part of the defenders, which is why the defenders shouted with such excitement.

"Order the artillery to fire!" The order is neat and clear. Aren't you happy to have reinforcements, and I'm not going to make you happy.

"Your Excellency has an order, fire the cannon immediately." The attendants around him immediately ran to give orders, and there was excitement in their voices. It was clear that Fukangan's order had lifted him up.

"On time, on time. Use our artillery to shut up the North Koreans on the other side—"

……

With the roar of artillery, a group of Qing troops also lined up. There were not many people, only a few of one or two hundred. But they were wearing Eight Banners cotton armor, holding muskets in their hands, and the array was very neat, and at first glance they were the ace troops of the Qing army-the Eight Banners New Army.

The muzzles of a row of cannons were facing west of Ganghwa City. The bustling town of the past has long since been reduced to ruins, but in the midst of the ruins, the figures of North Koreans appear from time to time, and sporadic cold light shines among the rubble.

"Tom Tom ......"

"Boom ......"

More than a dozen cannons roared. One by one, the shells fell in the ruined Ganghwa City. The wooden North Koreans seemed to be completely vulnerable under solid shells. From time to time, unlucky North Korean soldiers were hit by shells, or bricks and tiles and broken wood were broken by shells.

The defenders no longer had artillery, and the cannons of Ganghwa Island were all arranged in the seaside city of Fireworks and Yuekushi, and the few remaining cannons in Ganghwa City were also destroyed by the artillery fire of the Qing army. Therefore, at this time, only the eight mortar guns brought by the Marine Battalion can be trusted, but this mortar artillery unit not only has a small number of mortar guns, but also has a limited number of shells, and it must exert force at a critical moment. Therefore, at this time, the Jianghua defenders had no artillery assistance at all.

But when the Qing artillery roared, everyone could only lie on the ground obediently.

After the shelling, accompanied by the sound of attack, a group of Eight Banners New Army, together with a similar number of Northeast Banner soldiers, launched the attack first.

"Aim at the officers, shoot them one at a time, and knock them out ......"

There were not many snipers in the Marine battalion, and there were only ten of them. But these ten people are all masters selected from the sniper unit, and they are sharpshooters among sharpshooters. By the time the shelling had stopped, the men had moved from their hideouts to various positions.

The ruined Ganghwa City just came to cover for them. In the ruins, it is an obstacle for ordinary soldiers, but for snipers, it is a real fish in water.

In the sequence of attacking Qing troops, officers fell one after another. The gunshots rang out from the opposite side sporadically, but the accuracy was amazing.

The Qing army reacted immediately, and there were snipers on the opposite side. "It should be a thief!" Fukangan jumped and scolded in the back.

But the pace of the attack will not stop, but will be more rapid and impactful. Rush forward, and the sniper will be useless.

"Rush—" Three or four hundred soldiers of the New Army and the Northeast Banner Soldiers rushed forward with a shout.

"Get closer, beat them all—" Deng Yun shouted half-up, followed by two minor North Korean officials as translators. Because there were hundreds of North Korean soldiers on the front line accompanied by a battalion of marines, and there were even palace forbidden troops in them. Hundreds of figures swayed in the ruins, wearing the uniforms of the Marine battalion soldiers who looked troublesome, the mid-level officers wore black or red backcoats, and the junior officers wore red robes, plus the red tassels on their hats, the colors were quite bright, and the weapons were muskets + waist knives, or three guns and iron forks. His eyes stared viciously at the Qing soldiers who rushed over.

It is said that when the Japanese were beating Korea, the Korean soldiers still had nail cotton armor or leather armor, and wore iron or leather helmets. But now, hehe, the North Korean soldiers really only have cloth armor left.

The gunfire was as dense as fried beans, and some of the Qing soldiers in the charge fell.

But the rest of the people did not retreat, brandishing knives and guns, and pressed against the bullets fired by the muskets, and rushed to kill desperately. The Eight Banners New Army also formed a queue at the right time, concentrated its firepower, and fired at a place where sparks were flashing everywhere.

With the sound of gunfire, the soldiers on both sides kept falling.

No matter how low-intensity the war is, it is also a life-devouring beast, the battlefield is full of anger and heroism, and the roaring charging and shouting of the armies on both sides resounded through Jianghua City.

"Thief Chen, damn thief Chen......" A hateful look flashed in Fukangan's eyes. The performance of the North Korean soldiers was obviously much braver than before, and this was the result of the support given to them by the Fu Han army.

The fighting on the battlefield is calming down. The attacking Qing army was in the midst of a rout. "Open the artillery, open the cannon—" Fukangan hated the order, and then sent troops to meet the defeated soldiers.

"Quickly report to the moon string that we need reinforcements. A Chen Rebellion army rushed to Jianghua City, which should be the same land army that accompanied Chen Rebellion's division to harass Shandong. Tell your lord that our army needs at least a thousand more men to conquer Jianghua City. "The Fu Han army came faster and more decisive than they imagined." And then there are the shells, and the front line continues shells, gunpowder. ”

The tone of Fukangan's speech was not at all like a request from a subordinate to a superior, but more of an order. This is Fukangan!

"Bang Bang-" The raindrops of gunfire rang out in Jianghua City, and the brave and fierce soldiers of the Marine Battalion, Fukangan, who had limited strength in their hands, hit the wall one after another.

"Keep bombarding—"

For the Fu Han army hidden in the ruins, Fukangan really can't think of any good way except for bombardment.

The Qing army's offensive against Korea was already in sight, and Fukangan did not want his new army or the bannermen recruited in the northeast to suffer too many casualties.

He has already lost two or three hundred casualties in the three attacks, which is enough to catch up with the total casualties of the Eight Banners New Army in all the battles that have entered the DPRK so far.

However, since the end of the Battle of Pyongyang, the Koreans have stopped fighting field battles with the Qing army.

The 30,000 North Korean troops were bombarded by dozens of cannons, fired by a series of platoon guns, and then chased around like sheep by the Eight Banners New Army.

……

At night, there was still no relaxation in Jianghua City. The soldiers of the Marine battalion, who had rested for half a day, began to fully intervene in the defense of the city. The superintendent of the Hu Guard Department, who was in charge of the defense of Ganghwa City, promoted Hong Sang-young and Kim Ki-dae, the general of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, and was very cooperative with the intervention of the Marine Battalion.

Here Jin Jida is Li Zheng's brother-in-law, who is a full eighteen years older than his grandson concubine Jin.

"General, the concubine ordered the villain to come and ask, can Jianghua City be defended? Will the army be able to drive the Qing captives out? ”

The Koreans, who were already very disgusted with the Qing Dynasty, were attacked by the Manchus again for no reason, and directly called the Manchus 'Qing captives'.

The grandson of the Kim family, if nothing else, she will be the queen of the Korean kingdom in the future. When he was nine years old [standard little Lori], he was selected by Li Yu as his grandson's wife, and it has been nine years, and Li Qi has a harmonious relationship, although it is a big lack to have no children so far, but Kim Ki-da is still 10,000 treasures for this little sister, careful.

"You go and secretly return to the world's concubine Niangniang, and get ready to transfer." Kim Ki-dae's face was very ugly. There was no way, the scouts who had just recovered the Han army came to report, and the Qing army had increased its troops again. And what about the North Korean soldiers? There are only six or seven thousand people on the entire Ganghwa Island, and half of them have already been concentrated here, and if the troops are drawn from other places, will the outer defense line be left?

"General...... The attendant who was ordered to come to inquire, that is, the eunuch, was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"Tell the mother, if it's messy outside, don't panic. Just stay where you are, waiting. ”

"I will rush to pick up the concubine as soon as possible with the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom."

One thing that is very funny is that only now that the envoys sent by the Manchus have come into contact with the Korean monarchs and ministers, and Li Yu and the others can only know what the excuse of the Manchus for crusading against Korea is. But the situation has developed to this point, does it still make sense?

Qianlong's conditions were that the 77-year-old Li Yu and the 19-year-old Wang Shisun Li Qi personally went to Beijing to plead guilty, and then blackmailed 200,000 taels of silver from Korea, a large amount of grain, cloth, and cattle. The Qing army was to be stationed in Korea for at least a year to 'help' Korea completely shave all traces of the Ming Dynasty.

And all this Ganghwa Island doesn't know at all. Even if they knew, the Jin family would never want to fall into the hands of the Qing army.

Now that she has the warship of the Fu Han Army, she can take people on board the ship and go to South Korea to find her husband Li Zheng.

"Tell the grandson concubine, don't panic, don't panic......" (To be continued.) )
