"Mah, these pieces of shit!"

Qin Yu, the captain of the Pyongyang garrison of the Ming army, fired a hammer with one hand and pulled the trigger with the other, and shot the revolver shell nest one after another at a very fast speed, while watching the Goryeo soldiers who threw away their weapons and fled in all directions, hated and cursed.

In front of him, two Qing soldiers who were raising their rifles fell almost simultaneously.

But at this time, a large number of Qing soldiers rushed with rifles with bayonets, he couldn't care about loading, and then pulled out his saber, sideways let go of a bayonet stabbed in the chest, and chopped off the arm of the Qing soldier, but he didn't notice that a bayonet was fiercely stabbing him in the ribs, and at the moment when it almost touched his body, there was a gunshot, and the sneak attacker fell down with a scream, Qin Yu turned around and made up a knife in the guy's chest.

"Did Lord Huang cross the bridge?"

He then asked the officer who had just saved him.

Under the attack of 15,000 Qing troops, Pyongyang's defense completely collapsed in less than 24 hours, and after the Qing army blew up the Xuanwu Gate with human shells again, the Goryeo army defending the city immediately abandoned the city and fled, and as a result, all the Ming troops who were originally scattered in various gates to help them were pitted, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Pyongyang garrison had to retreat, but they were different from the Goryeo army, who abandoned everything, they had to protect the assistant minister Yamen and those Ming expatriates in the city to withdraw first, The only southbound passage on the Datong River is a pontoon bridge outside the Datong Gate.

In order to buy enough time for the expatriates to retreat, Qin Yu could only hold on to Datongmen temporarily.

"Lord Huang has passed, most of the expatriates have also crossed the bridge, and many brothers have swam directly across the Datong River, but the artillery team is still blocked in the city."

The officer said as he knocked down the Qing soldiers with the incessant fire of his revolver.

At this time, the two sides have been fighting together with bayonets, the soldiers of the two armies in the narrow streets kept shouting and cursing, and carried out bloody hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, everywhere there was flowing blood and falling dead bodies, these two armies can be described as not sharing the sky, especially those Qing troops, it can be said that there is no one who does not have a large number of relatives died in the hands of the Ming army, at this time it belongs to the enemy to meet, it is completely a life-for-life style of fighting, many Qing troops even if they are knocked to the ground have to hug the legs of the Ming army, to create opportunities for their companions.

However, compared to the Ming army, it was more dominant, cuirass, better bayonets and more scientific stabbing training, so that those Qing soldiers were constantly crucified to the ground, you must know that the Ming army's stabbing techniques were learned from the Japanese army in later generations.

But unlike the Ming army, the rear reinforcements of the Qing army are constantly arriving, Qin Yu knows very well that he can't last long, but he can't withdraw if he wants to, the two sides have been completely mixed together, unless the Qing army in front of him is killed, there is no way to withdraw. And he could see that there were actually many expatriates waiting to cross the bridge by the Datong Gate, this narrow pontoon bridge was crowded with people, and even a little overwhelmed, and the Qing army occupying the Peony Terrace was also constantly firing at the pontoon bridge, although the distance was too far, but the water column stirred up by the cannonballs was still rising near the pontoon bridge.

"Ma, fight, dying here can be regarded as loyal to the emperor!"

He slashed down a Qing soldier with a knife and roared at the same time.

"Loyal to the emperor!"

The Ming soldiers who were fighting with the Qing army immediately shouted.

"Tartar cavalry!"

At the same time, there was an exclamation.

Hundreds of Qing cavalry were galloping along the narrow streets, brandishing sabers and roaring like a torrent pouring down, and the horses' hooves trampled the streets to release a terrifying momentum.

The Qing infantry who were fighting with the Ming army hurriedly separated to the two sides, and those Ming soldiers also contracted and assembled as fast as they could, the front one held a rifle diagonally on the ground and showed the bayonet blade to block the first wave of impact, while the soldiers behind them were busy loading their rifles, and even Qin Yu hurriedly reloaded his revolver, but he also knew very well that it was useless.

"This is really to be loyal to the emperor."

He couldn't help but smile wryly.

But at this time, black balls suddenly flew out from behind the low walls next to the Qing cavalry, and then smashed in the middle of the Qing army, before they could react, suddenly the entire street was flooded by the fire of the explosion, and the Qing cavalry who were caught off guard were blown up into a piece of flesh and blood, and the original vigorous impact came to an abrupt end, and in a blink of an eye, it became a person on his back and turned over, and at the same time, those round balls were still flying out, and even those low earthen walls were blown down, revealing more than 100 Ming soldiers inside.

"It's the artillery team!"

The officer beside Qin Yu shouted excitedly.

Qin Yu immediately understood what they threw out, it was a seven-and-a-half-pound cannon flowering shell, this thing used a disc fuse, a thin metal box sealed in a spiral medicine channel, according to the distance before normal use, punch holes in the corresponding scale, and when firing, the fuse was ignited at the same time by firing the yao high temperature and burning along the spiral medicine channel, but if it was used as a grenade, just punch the hole and light it with a burning cigarette, but throwing this thing is a fatal job.

The sudden appearance of the artillery team immediately saved Qin Yu and them, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army being blown up, and the two quickly met together.

"Did the shelling blow up?"

Qin Yu shouted at the captain of the artillery team.

"Exploded!"

The latter said.

"Retreat now!"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yu shouted.

In fact, during this time, the Koreans have discarded too many weapons to the Qing army, and there are hundreds of smoothbore guns of various calibers alone, especially a large amount of ammunition, even including flowering shells, not to mention firearms.

I'm afraid that the arms abandoned by the Goryeo army are enough to arm two brigades.

"This garbage!"

Qin Yu scolded hatefully again.

Then he led his subordinates to quickly withdraw from Datong Gate, but then there was a group of Qing troops on the bank of the Datong River to kill, before Qin Yu could fire here, four rockets on the opposite bank were shot over, and the light rockets loaded with white phosphorus exploded in the Qing army in an instant, while they were in chaos, Qin Yu hurriedly took his subordinates across the river, and then met with the rocket artillery team on the east bank, and gathered the remnants of the army that had crossed the river, and then retreated in the direction of Huangzhou, just when they arrived in Huangzhou, the original Goryeo town guard, Chen Bai, the current chief of staff of the Seventh Army, also led his army to this small city.

Next, Chen Bai did not continue to move forward.

Obviously, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army can be said to be different from what it used to be, although the street fighting itself is not conducive to the Ming army, but Qin Yu's department actually lost nearly one-third, which is still a very surprising result, you must know that if it was in the past, the Pyongyang garrison of 1,000 people defending the city was enough to block 10,000 Qing troops, but now not only did not block it, but it also lost so much is enough to prove that the Qing army in the northeast has not lived in vain these years.

In this case, it would be a bit risky for him to counterattack with only one infantry brigade, anyway, the Seventh Army will arrive soon, so let's hold it in Huangzhou for the time being!

Similarly, the results of the battle of Pyongyang soon reached Nanjing, where there was already a cable telegraph between Nanjing and Weihai, and the small communication ships of the Beiyang Fleet could sail directly into the Taedong River, and the communication between Goryeo and Nanjing was already very smooth. And the change in the combat effectiveness of the Qing army made the General Staff of the Ming Army very unexpected, even in the street battle, it was very terrifying for a thousand Ming troops to die nearly 300, not to mention that Qin Yu's Pyongyang garrison had also completed the redress.

"It's not entirely because of the improvement of the Qing army's combat effectiveness, to a large extent, it was still pitted by those Korean soldiers."

Chen Lie said: "Qin Yu made a big mistake is to separate the garrison, to help the Goryeo people at each gate with the outpost as a unit, he wants to evenly distribute the strength and enhance the defense capability of the Goryeo army, as a result, the Goryeo army collapsed and our people were also engulfed, even if there are still those who hold on, only two hundred people are not enough to change anything, but will soon fall into the encirclement of the Qing army, the defenders of Peony Terrace are because of the rout of the Goryeo army, and as a result, they were surrounded by the Qing army, and in the end, less than 100 people broke through and swam across the Datong River. ”

"Your Majesty, just disband the Goryeo Army."

Army Chief of Staff Du You said.

"Indeed, if we transfer the Seventh Army to Goryeo, then there is no need to keep the Goryeo Army, these guys are useless to fight but add chaos, especially if they often abandon arms and cheapen the Tartars, it is better to have such an army, just disband it directly, and Goryeo will not need any army in the future, just send troops to guard and protect them.

Chen Lie said.

It is clear that the generals of the military are in agreement on this issue, after all, they are all fought on the battlefield, and everyone understands how dangerous it is to hand over their flanks to a bunch of rubbish, especially a bunch of rubbish who like to act as transport captains for the enemy.

But this is obviously something that Emperor Yang cannot agree with.

"There is no need to mention this matter again, if the Goryeo King's National Defense Guard can't fight, they should train well, and if they love to escape, they will be strictly disciplined, and they can't be disbanded because of this problem, after all, they are the Goryeo Kingdom's own army. Send a telegram to Chen Bai, asking him not to attack Pyongyang for the time being, first gather and put those Goryeo routs in order, and kill them when they should be killed, since the Goryeo King's National Defense Guard has been placed under the command of the Goryeo Economic and Strategic Envoy, before Yu Qin arrived, he will temporarily act as the economic envoy, and he has the right to enforce military law, especially those who escape, they will be arrested and shot directly, one of them will be shot and killed, and it is estimated that there will be no more escapes after killing him 1,000 people. ”

Yang Feng said.

Of course, he can't disband the defense army of the king of Goryeo, these people are disbanded, who will be cannon fodder for him? Not only can it not be disbanded, but it must also be expanded, how can 20,000 be enough? At least 100,000 or 200,000 is enough, otherwise how can he consume the young adults of Goryeo?

Since he said so, then Chen Lie and the others will shut up, after all, there are too few Ming troops there now, and when the Seventh Army joins the battlefield, even if the Qing Army plays flowers, it is useless.

"Your Majesty, Nanyang Victory!"

At this time, an officer walked up to Yang Feng with a telegram and said. (To be continued.) )
