Looking at the fortified Pyongyang City in front of him, Cui Xian's eyes revealed a touch of bitterness. Yes, bitter, two months ago, when the Huaxia Dynasty's envoy stationed in Zhennanpu came to his door, Cui Xian knew that he had to pay the price for lying about his exploits in the Battle of Hexi. However, Choi Heon obviously did not expect that the price he had to pay was too great, and he almost wanted to bet the remaining elite of the South Korean army on the gambling table. However, in the face of the possible attacks of many forces in South Korea, such as the pro-Xia and anti-Choe forces, Choe Heon, who did not have the courage to sacrifice himself for the country, really did not have the strength to refuse the demands of the Huaxia Imperial Court.

"Looks like we're going to have to besiege the city." Cui Xian muttered, at this moment, Cui Xian was suddenly glad that the Chinese court did not force him to take Pyongyang. "Someone," Cui Xian raised his voice. "Order to go down and dig ditches and build walls along the city of Pyongyang, and the officials will starve the Tartars and traitors in the city to death."

Since this is the third time that the South Korean army has appeared under the city of Pyongyang in less than a year, under the coercion of the war, the essence of Pyongan Province, the north of the Taedong River and the south of the Cheongchon River, has been quite dilapidated, and a large number of people have either fled to the depths of the mountains and forests or have taken refuge in the city of Pyongyang.

It's just that the deputy general on the side reminded: "My lord, if you besiege the city, I am afraid that the enemy of Peony Peak will come to destroy it." ”

Peony Peak is located in the north of Pyongyang, and it is at an angle to the city, and it is condescending, and it can clearly see every move of the South Korean army, so once the South Korean army besieges the city, in order to ensure that it does not fall into isolation, the defenders will definitely attack wildly.

In this regard, Cui Xian said lightly: "I'm afraid that they won't come, otherwise if we attack Peony Peak, our army will inevitably suffer huge losses." ”

The adjutant general praised convincingly: "My lord is clever." ”

Listening to the words of the adjutant general, Cui Xian's bitterness rose again, what is the use of the clever calculation, one wrong move, and now he can only dance on the stage designated by Huaxia, and can only watch the Long Xiang army rampage in the north of the Qingchuan River to rob the population?????? That's it, that's it, out of sight is clean, and this is the reward for paying for Huaxia military aid!

What Cui Xian didn't know was that Huaxia's sudden positive attitude towards the Korean war was entirely in response to the crisis of the Qing army's Galen ship in the Bohai Bay, and only by advancing the front to the Tumen River and the Yalu River could the Qing court once again focus on the six places, and then lay the foundation for the Xia army's strategic implementation in the next stage.

Therefore, at the same time that Choi Heon had no choice but to attack Pyongyang, the First Army Losing Fleet belonging to the Northern Naval Division was also in action.

"Brother Yang'an, this is Xingnan Port." Shi Yaotian, commander of the First Army's transport fleet and commander of this transportation operation, pointed to the small fishing boat-like port on the shore and introduced it to Cao Xing, the commander of the temporary brigade of the Shence Army. "Don't look at the small port, but this is already the largest port in Hamgyong (Yongxing) Province, and the province governs Hamxing City upstream of the estuary."

"It's finally here." Cao Xing said happily. "It's a swaying way, okay, please ask Brother Zhuo Ping to send us ashore."

At that moment, dozens of soldiers of the Shence Army who were in good spirits changed boats and went straight to the shore. Speaking of which, this is not the first time that the Xia army has come to Hamgyong Province, but like the previous time, the local defense is extremely lax, and there is no expected sailor to come to stop the attack.

Since the port changed hands, all kinds of supplies and people were continuously sent to the shore, and the vanguard even captured dozens of civilians and merchants from the port and nearby fishing villages who had no time to escape.

For this first batch of captives, Cao Xing had his own usefulness: "They helped cut down trees and build ??????"

After announcing the disposition of the arrested Korean people, Cao Xing turned his head and asked Shi Yaotian: "Brother Zhuo Ping, I'm really sorry, just after the statistics, there are still two hundred and seventy-seven Shence troops who need to recuperate for a while, but now the 6 Shangbao has not been built, so I can only ask the brothers of the water master to help Gu Fu." ”

"It's all my own family that has something to say," Shi Yaotian said with a smile. "Besides, Beiyun 1 and Beiyun 2 were originally waiting for the population you plundered here, and they should take care of it for a few days."

"Thank you, thank you." No matter what the other party said, Cao Xing knew that he still had a lot to rely on, so he was polite. "When the fort on 6 is built, I will move them over and not disturb the brethren of the sailor." Cao Xing's words were not polite, because he simply used wood to build a fortress, so it didn't take a few days to do it. "Besides, if these wretches spill on the boat, they can be thrown into the sea??????

Cao Xing's Shence Army claimed to be a brigade, but in fact there were more than 1,300 people in two regiments, and after deducting the injuries and illnesses of nearly 300 people, it was only 1,000 people, so it took less than two hours to get ashore. It's just that a few 3,000-pound Franc cannons are heavier, and it takes a lot of time to transport, and a few towed horses are also more troublesome. In any case, before nightfall, the Xia army had all been deployed to the shore, and at this time, the North Korean government in Hamhung had just received the news of the attack of the Japanese invaders.

Since the fleeing soldiers and villagers had different accounts of the number of Xia troops attacking from 500 to 10,000, the Hamgyong Provincial Observer and the civil and military officials above the Yin level of Hamhung Province were at a loss, so they had to close the city gate for the time being. However, the Xia army did not attack in the starry night, which made the North Koreans suspicious.

Once it was judged that the number of incoming enemies was small, the Hamgyong Provincial Soldiers and Horses Envoy and the Provincial Soldiers and Horses Defense Envoy became emboldened and advocated sending troops to meet the battle. In view of the strong demand of the military attache of the Western Class, Li Wenli was shaken by the observation, and agreed to the plan to send troops despite the persuasion of Yin Yin Guangwen of the Hamxing Prefecture. So at noon on the third day, an armed force of 3,000 people drove out of Hamxing Mansion and went straight to Xingnan Port.

The Korean army seemed to be outnumbered, but there was no standing army among them, in fact, it was a volunteer team commanded by the sons of the local Spanish generals, most of whom were ordinary people who had not been trained, and only a few had the experience of serving in rotation, and how could they be the opponents of the Xia army who had been rested, and even when they saw the dress and the banner of the Japanese army on the opposite side, there was confusion.

Although the opponent has already made a commotion, Cao Xing, who is facing the battle, is still a decent first shot and then a battle. As a result, as soon as the cannon sounded, the Northern Korean army had collapsed, since this was the case, the Xia army naturally took advantage of the situation, and killed more than 400 Northern Korean troops and captured nearly 1,000 people in just one battle, which was the result of repeated restraint by the military attachés of the Xia army.

After the war, Cao Xing divided 200 troops to escort the prisoners back to Xingnan Port, seeing that Cao Xing got a large number of prisoners so quickly, Shi Yaotian smiled so much that he couldn't even close his mouth, and immediately pioneered them to help build the Xingnan wooden block, and when the wooden wall was completed, the Korean prisoners who had been squeezed out of the surplus value were driven to the military ship, and then transported to Nanyang and Jinlan to enrich the local area.

Ignoring the work by the harbor, Cho Hang, who had defeated the North Korean army, immediately bluffed towards Hamhung Province with 800 troops. Due to the exaggeration of the defeated soldiers, the North Korean officials in Hamhung Province exaggerated the strength of the Xia army, so they abandoned the city and fled, as a result, the Xia army quickly took control of the largest city in Hamgyong Province without blood, and then obtained the rice grain reserves of tens of thousands of stone in the official warehouse in the city and nearly 10,000 people in the city who had no time to escape??????

The news of the siege of Pyongyang and the rumors of the Xia army's wanton Hamgyong Road arrived in Beijing one after another, and the Qing court was extremely concerned about the sudden escalation of the Korean war, not only because Korea was a barrier outside the Guan, and Guanwai was the old nest of the Qing court, but more importantly, the financial resources of the reclamation outside the Guanxi were the key to maintaining the survival of the Qing court, and there was no room for loss.

After some self-conscious calculations, and on the premise of not affecting the defense of Gyeonggi, the Qing court mobilized 25,000 soldiers and horses, including the new battalion of the Green Battalion, the New Army of the Eight Banners, and the first battalion of the Inner and Outer Firearms Battalions in the two towns, to garrison Mukden, and at the same time transferred nearly 8,000 troops from the eight banners outside the border to reinforce Pyongyang from the deputy capital garrisons of Jinzhou, Jinzhou, Xiongyue, Xingjing, Shengjing, Ningguta, Bedune, Sanxia, Jilin, Alchuka, Lalin, and Hunchun.

However, the Qing army in Gyeonggi had not yet been mobilized, and the Xia army's naval division suddenly entered the Bohai Bay, vigorously searched for the ships of the Qing army's naval division and shelled the coastal beacons. Under the threat of Yan zhòng in the western Liaoxi corridor, the Qing court decided to send northern reinforcements from southern Mongolia to the northeast, but it was this decision that led to a fatal emptiness in the Qing court's forces in Liaodong, and the Xia army seized on this emptiness and successfully carried out the Liaodong Deng6 operation.

"The deputy capital of Jinzhou commanded 100,000 urgent military reports." The messenger was sweating profusely and yelled at Goshha at the entrance of General Shengjing's mansion, which frightened the other party to retreat and let the gate out. "50,000 Hai Reverse is already on the Haikou of Sanshan (Qingniwa and Dalian)6, and is now rushing to attack Jinzhou and Lushun ??????"

The sudden crisis made Liaodong General Bei Zisunu panic, he couldn't help but worry, the Xia army's landing on the 6 Liaodong Peninsula was just a prelude to a major counteroffensive, once the Xia army entered Shengjing in the north, with the current strength in his hands, he would not be able to hold this Qing court capital at all.

So on the one hand, Sunu asked Jilin and Heilongjiang for reinforcements, and on the other hand, he transferred back the troops that had just crossed the Yalu River, and at the same time alerted Beijing, and 100,000 urgently urged the Qing army from Gyeonggi to rush to reinforcements through Monan??????
