The Hanyang side was nervous but not frightened by the sudden warning from the front, because South Korea is no longer the bleak country it used to be in the past. In recent years, South Korea has spent a lot of money to strengthen its army, and with the guidance of China's arms sales and military advisers, it has initially established a professional standing army. Although the firearms unit requires a lot of training in peacetime and the cost is huge, the overall proportion is less than 50% of the whole army, and it is far from being comparable with the Xia army or even the Qing army's Eight Banners New Army, but at least it has the strength to fight in the face of the Qing army.

It was on the basis of this confidence that the South Korean side immediately mobilized troops and horses, determined to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army at the foot of Kaesong.

Before the war, the main forces of the South Korean Army, except for the 6,000 defenders of Gangwon Province, were concentrated on the line of Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae-do. Among them, 6,000 were in the confrontation between the three counties of Jaeyong, Sincheon, and Anak in Hwanghae Province and the 8,000 North Korean Army across the Nyeongjiang River; 10,000 men garrisoned Hanyang City; The remaining 28,000 people are located in Kaegyong, Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Paju, Yeoju, Cheongju, Gongju, Jinju and other places. Because the area is too large, it is difficult to concentrate for a while.

To this end, the Hanyang side first transferred 5,000 Hanyang defenders and 6,000 defenders from Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Pazhou, Lizhou and other places to Kaesong to join up with the 2,000 defenders in the city, and the rest of the troops continued to march north into Hanyang and entered the battle according to the situation.

Of course, there was a police situation in Kaesong, and the South Korean side also informed the Chinese messenger to the DPRK. However, out of concern that Huaxia would take the command of the South Korean Army through this, out of dissatisfaction with the fact that the outpost of the Xia Army's naval division stationed in Nampo did not report the movements of the Qing army at the first time, and even more because it believed that the symbolic significance of Huaxia's power in Korea was greater than the substance, and that it was actually insufficient to participate in the war, South Korea did not ask Huaxia to send troops to cooperate in the war.

On the ninth day of April in the fourth year of Wucheng in China and the forty-second year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the battle of Kaifeng in the Qing Dynasty and Qing Dynasty began.

In this battle, the Qing army participated in the battle with 8,000 troops, the North Korean army that cooperated with the Qing army fought 4,000, and the South Korean army that fought against it was more than 11,000 people. In terms of numbers, the Qing army had a certain advantage, but most of the North Korean troops were unarmored auxiliary troops, and they were able to do miscellaneous work such as transporting grain and straw and guarding the barracks, and in addition to the archery team of more than 1,500 people who could also play some auxiliary roles, they could basically only wave their flags and shout on the side to fill up their momentum.

Although the Qing army did not have any advantage in terms of strength, fortunately, the Qing army had obvious advantages in other aspects, such as artillery and cavalry. When the foreign firearms battalion of the Qing army entered the dynasty, it brought a total of ten heavy Wucheng Yonggu general cannons, and all of them were engaged in this battle; Thirty light Kamui general cannons, twenty of them invested in this battle; On the other hand, the South Korean Army had only 20 two-inch guns of the Xia Army's standard, which not only had a far inferior firing range to the opponent's General Murcheng Yonggu cannon, but was even inferior in power. As for the cavalry, the gap between the two sides was even greater, the old army of the Qing Army's Eighth Banner Army had a horse corps of 2,000 men, while the South Korean Army could be said to be miserable in this regard, and it tried its best to piece together a cavalry army of 300 men.

The two armies were not divided in terms of military organization.

On the Qing side, the foreign firearms battalion was composed of one artillery battalion and one small artillery battalion; The New Army of the Eight Banners was organized into two 500-strong birds; The old army of the 3,000 Eight Banners was seven dissatisfied leaders, each of whom had about 300 vests and 100 foot armors; The new battalion of the 3,000 Green Battalion was divided into three guerrilla battalions of 1,000 men, each with 200 gunners, 400 spearmen and armor, 200 unarmored archers, and 200 armor-clad sword and shield soldiers.

The South Korean Army is divided into four levels: battalion, corps, team, and branch. One of them is nine people, and even the chief is another general from the nine grades; Five tithes are a team, the team officer is from the seventh grade of the school, and the team level also has a flag bearer and a trumpeter, and the whole team is forty-eight people; The ten teams are organized into an army, and the military system is led by the four products, and there are one staff officer, one capital supervisor, one promotion officer, and one training officer at the army level, two standard-bearers, one drummer and one gong player, and two guards and two firemen, totaling 500 people; The 10 armies are organized into a battalion, and the battalion commander is a general from the first rank, and there are also officials at the battalion level, such as the suppression envoy, the management envoy, the capital promotion envoy, and the capital training envoy?????? Since the South Korean military units participating in the war came from different garrisons and different battalion heads, the army became the basic combat unit of the war.

At the beginning of the hour, the Qing army took the lead in shelling the front of the South Korean Army, and the flying solid bullets made a miserable hole in the very dense array of the Korean army. In the face of the Qing army's blazing firepower, the South Korean army was not to be outdone, and fired back with two-inch guns, but unfortunately, due to the long distance between the two sides, the two-inch guns were as effective as the Qing army's light Shenwei general artillery -- only a few unlucky people were knocked to the ground by jumping shells at the extreme distance.

The Qing army shelled for about half an hour, and saw that the South Korean army's position was loose, so it made a decisive attack, and the new battalion of the 3,000 Green Battalion cooperated with the infantry armor of the old army of the 708 Banners and carried more than 1,000 North Korean archers to slowly advance towards the South Korean army, and the vests of the old army of the 2,000 Eight Banners were divided into two groups and approached from both flanks. The South Korean army then concentrated its artillery fire on the enemy in the center, and at the same time, mobilized infantry men to the flanks to prevent the onslaught of the Qing army's horse team.

Due to the overheating of the chambers caused by the previous shelling, the bombardment of the South Korean army on the enemy on the central line did not last long, and the Qing army soon approached the South Korean army's array. With an order, nearly 600 gunners in the new battalion of the Qing army's green battalion fired a relatively neat row of bullets, and immediately knocked down nearly 100 leading soldiers of the South Korean army.

The Qing gunners finished firing and reloaded on the spot, at which point the archers of the Qing and North Korean armies began to shoot arrows at the opposite side. The bows and arrows that rained down once again caused a lot of blood loss to the South Korean army. If it had been before, the South Korean army had collapsed, but at this moment they were steadily fighting back with bows, but most of the Qing troops were wearing armor, so they only caused some damage to the Qing army's bird gunners, Qing army archers, and North Korean army's unarmored soldiers who were loading.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the opponent's bow and arrow could not cause damage to himself, the infantry armor of the old Eight Banners and the sword, shield guards, and pikemen of the new battalion of the Green Battalion rushed into the camp of the South Korean Army and fought with the armored soldiers on the opposite side. In the fight between you and me, most of the wounded are in the limbs, but the death of the deceased is strange - some were directly cut off, some were violently broken and finally stabbed into the abdomen by a few spears, there were also those who were not injured on the appearance but were shocked to death by heavy blades, and there were even those who finally fell to the ground because of excessive blood loss - it cannot be said that this is not enough??????

Seeing that the front was scorched, and the casualties on both sides were not small, the Eight Banners Horse Team on both wings began to move. The rumbling hooves of horses struck on the ground, and there was not only the shaking of the earth, but also the heartbeat of the enemy. However, the South Korean army's infantrymen still fired the first bullet, and although the lethal effect was incalculable, it also made the arrogant Qing army understand that they were not fish belly to be slaughtered, and that if they wanted to catch their big fish, they had to be prepared to die and break the net.

However, fortunately for the galloping Qing cavalry, only the number of infantry in the South Korean army who could calmly fire the third bullet was too small, and a considerable number of infantry men who lacked actual combat experience could not even shoot the second lead bullet smoothly, so naturally they could not pose much threat to the surging Eight Banners cavalry.

Suddenly, the chaotic South Korean infantry formed a strange spear stabbing formation under a certain command, bluffing the war horses under the crotch of the Qing army one by one to dodge. However, the Eight Banners Horse Team was not a Mongolian cavalry that could not fight on foot, and seeing that the war horses were not controlled, these Eight Banner Horse Armors dismounted and tried to tear apart the defense line of the South Korean Army with foot combat with the heavy armor on their bodies.

"Shoot!" The chiefs in the inner circle of the gun array shouted urgently, and with their roars, several rifles rang out one after another, knocking down a few of the advancing vests, but they could not stop more of them from pouring into the already broken gun array.

"The Eight Banners outside the border can still be fought." The commander-in-chief of the Qing army, Po Erpen, who saw this scene in the clairvoyant mirror, smiled with satisfaction and immediately ordered. "Let the remaining North Korean troops attack, yes, make a big noise."

Although the roaring North Korean army was only more than 1,000 people, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and seeing that the Qing army had a large force to invest in the South Korean army, the commander of the South Korean army, the soldier Cao Shen Quan Jiushan, finally could not bear the pressure and ordered the whole army to retreat. More than 10,000 years ago, the South Korean army, which was still in the midst of a bitter battle, was defeated like a mountain, and everyone threw away their armor and abandoned their swords and hurried towards Kaesong??????

In the end, the South Korean army lost the Battle of Kaephong with more than 3,000 casualties and more than 500,000 silver worth of ordnance and supplies. Although the Qing army won a complete victory and captured a large amount of booty including the Xia army's standard two-inch guns, it also lost nearly 1,000 people from the Green Battalion and the Old Army of the Eight Banners, and nearly 1,000 North Korean auxiliary troops.

Although the defeat at the Battle of Kaephong caused the morale of the South Korean army to weaken, it did not suffer a heavy blow at all. Therefore, although the South Korean side urgently appealed to Huaxia for help and entrusted Huaxia with all the Japanese indemnity payments that had just received or had not yet arrived, in order to purchase the necessary ordnance and ammunition, it still had no intention of asking Huaxia for troops.

In this regard, the Chinese side was well aware of this, and Cai Naien, the messenger to Korea, wrote to the central center for this: "The actions of the captives are quite an attempt to use the DPRK as a temper, and the DPRK has no worries about the loss of the country, so it does not want our DPRK to get involved in (its) internal affairs and foreign armies, but in the long run, I am afraid that (the DPRK) will not be able to afford it, and our DPRK should still be prepared to intervene at any time??????
