There is no time left, and the Tartars must be blocked north of Cheongju City.

Zhang Zhang immediately made a decision, and asked Chaolu to lead his 5,000 cavalry to the north to block the enemy first, while he led a large group of infantry to follow quickly, while Gao Yuanliang still followed with a baggage and artillery team.

After assigning the task, Zhang Zhang was a little uneasy, and finally decided to gallop towards the Tartars with Chaolu's cavalry team, led by the scouts......

There are many rivers and mountains in Korea, and Dolgon, heading south from Seoul, stopped in front of a large river called Geumha, north of Cheongju.

5,000 white-flag cavalry in bright armor are by the Lerma River, while more than 20,000 Han military flags are building pontoon bridges. Dolgon immediately looked at the Han army banner working in the river coldly, and his heart was far less calm than he seemed.

The water of this Jin River is not deep, it is only up to people's knees, not to mention the cavalry, even the infantry can cross the river. However, the convoy can't get by! The flatbed carriage was the most important thing, and after the capture of Cheongju, the gold and silver treasures must be indispensable - so it was imperative to build a pontoon bridge to allow the baggage convoy to pass.

Dolgon was vaguely uneasy, and the scouts had reported that they had spotted some enemy scouts, and those people quickly withdrew after a long investigation. Who are they? Could it be that it was sent by the king of Joseon, Yi Jun? The king of Joseon, Yi Jung, had fled to Busan, the southernmost territory of the Korean kingdom, close to the sea. Originally, Dolgon was dismissive of the king of Korea who ran to the sea in a panic, and even planned how to crush the army and drive Li Liang to the sea to feed the fish, so as to win the first credit for the conquest of Korea.

But the presence of that group of scouts made Dolgon's heart more and more uneasy. According to common sense, those people are probably really spies of the North Korean state. However, the people below reported that those people were wearing grass-green uniforms!

The military uniforms of the Ming army are mainly mandarin duck battle jackets, which are red. And the military uniforms of the Korean army are also closer to the Ming army, and they use the same red. The color of the military uniform of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners of the "I Daqing" is different, and the military uniform is what color it is generally attached to. For example, the 5,000 cavalry of the white flag led by himself. All of them are white helmets and white armor.

Grass green!

Looking at the entire Liaodong, there is only one army in the grass green, and that is the Tuanshan Army of Tension!

Could it be that the mountain army has come to Korea?

Dolgon shuddered, and then he bit his lip with his teeth, trying to control his emotions.

"Prince Rui, why don't you get off your horse and rest for a while, I guess it will take some time for the pontoon bridge to be built!" A flattering voice rang in Dorgon's ear. He turned his head to look, but it turned out to be the commander of the Han Army Banner, Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi.

This is still gratifying, and he was also the righteous son of Phi Island Mao Wenlong in the past, and he was good friends with Kong Youde. Later, Mao Wenlong was killed, and Shang Kexi was assigned to defend the island in Liaodong and became a member of the sad island army. Later, Kong Youde rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and fooled the island army to go to Shenyang to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Shang Kexi immediately "abandoned the Ming Dynasty and invested in gold".

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi are the three giants of the Manchu Han military banner, and Kong Youde is obviously one head higher than the other two. Faintly the head of the three.

This time, it was Shang Kexi who followed Dolgon south to pursue the king of Joseon. Although Shang Kexi said that he and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were both named "kings" by Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. But this king really has to put a quotation mark, because it is purely soy sauce.

The "King of Gongshun" and "King Zhishun" of this Han military banner are not to mention compared with the "princes" of Daishan, Dolgon and others, even the Jurchen "county king" can't be compared, and even Belle Ye can't be compared.

This is not surprising, don't you see Huang Taiji Feng Han people as "kings", with a big "Shun" in the middle? Be obedient to the people. Shun Chen, Shun Wang!

Dolgon glanced at Shang Kexi, nodded slightly, and immediately after turning over and dismounting, one of the guards brought a marching stool. He sat down.

Looking at the half-built pontoon bridge, Dolgon's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, his thoughts just now were interrupted by Shang Kexi, but at this moment he couldn't help but start wondering again, whether those scouts were the Tuan Shan Army?

Shang Ke was glad to see that Dorgon didn't pay attention to himself at all, just meditating on his own, but he didn't dare to disturb, so he just stood aside with a stupid bow.

After a long time, Dolgon finally spoke: "Shang Kexi, how many palms of thunder did you Han Junqi bring this time?" ”

Shang Kexi was still suffering from gains and losses there, but when he suddenly heard Dolgon's question, he couldn't help but look abrupt, and immediately reined in his thoughts, and responded in a deep voice: "Prince Hui Rui, since the Great Khan-ah, no, the emperor has vigorously developed firearms, and the banner soldiers of our Han army have basically changed their guns, and the thunder in the palm is carried according to the configuration of twenty guns per person......"

Dorgon bowed slightly, completely relieved. Just as Shang Kegxin said, after being beaten by the firearms units of the Tuanshan Army in the Guanwai last time, Huang Taiji learned from the pain and accelerated the popularization of firearms in the army.

In fact, in the original history, at least during the Huang Taiji period of Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty attached great importance to firearms, and it was not what Kangxi Xiao Mazi said, "immediately win the world".

Historically, there were so-called "ten-mile iron shops" outside Shenyang during the Chongzhen period, all of which were blacksmith workshops that made artillery, firecrackers, and lead shots. At present, Huang Taiji has built a blacksmith shop for 20 miles outside Shenyang, and has used the power of the whole country to imitate Western firearms.

Dolgon's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly thought to himself: Now not only the infantry of the Eight Banners, but even the cavalry of the Eight Banners have two bags tied to their horses and carry more than 20 palm-loaded mines!

In the past, the scene of cavalry charging with sabers would probably be rare, right? If you want to say that the Han people are really "diligent", then Kong Youde and others have studied all the battle examples of the Tuanshan Army in detail before, especially their infantry used mines in their hands to fight against the charging cavalry, and now they have a countermeasure!

Your infantry threw a thunder in the palm of his hand on the spot, and my cavalry charged up on the horse and threw a thunder in the palm of his hand, and the distance thrown by the two sides could be described as a world of difference, and the cavalry must charge and throw it farther!

I heard that there is also a kind of horse gun in the West, which is very suitable for cavalry, so Hong Chengchou, a scholar from Hanchen University, has already asked Fran Jiren to buy it!

Hmph, as the so-called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, on the battlefield, how can there be victorious generals?

Dolgon was a little excited, and couldn't help but say: "I have accumulated decades of Qing Dynasty and the national power is at its peak, how can I lose to that tension?" He has only been in Liaodong for a few years? It is in response to the saying of the Han people - there is no hero when there is no hero, so that the erector becomes famous! (To be continued.) )
