Both the center and the left flank had entered the final stage, but the right flank of the Qing army seemed to have just woken up from a dream. The 6,000-strong infantry marched slowly, almost within the range of the South Korean artillery, when the men and horses suddenly dispersed, and then quickly advanced southward, and the deep-eyed and high-nosed Slavic faces of the Albazin Cossacks, who rushed to the forefront of the Russian Auxiliary, caused quite a stir among the Koreans, who had never seen the Tessi race in the country.
Although his heart is also bottomless, it does not prevent the officials from scolding the gunner in front of him: "I'm afraid of shime, even a dead ghost with this cannon can make him die again!" Still stunned dry shime, fire fire.""。? br/>
The artillery rang out one after another, and the Qing army advanced in an evacuated front, but the projectiles still knocked down many people. Watching the fierce Albazin Cossacks disappear into the artillery fire, the South Korean officers and soldiers who had unloaded the big stone in their hearts subconsciously cheered, but this did not help the trend of the battle.
Soon, the distance between the two sides entered the distance of the infantry shooting, so the Qing army horses and armor stepped forward, and before the South Korean infantry team fired the bullets repeatedly, they rushed into the South Korean army's array, and immediately dispersed the infantry team, and later the archery team, and fought with the South Korean pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, who were also wearing armor.
The South Korean infantry men who had been killed through hurriedly fled to the rear to rectify, and the North Korean army, which was a fake tiger, also rushed up, and the battle lines were entangled, and the shape suddenly became dark. However, to the surprise of the South Koreans, the combat effectiveness of the leaders of Xibe and Soren in front of them was quite poor, and they were not even as strong as the North Korean army in Murogo, and it was only by relying on the hard work of a small number of Daur and Russian leaders that they were on a par with the South Korean army
"Brother Yaopu, if you continue to fight like this, the South Korean army will win." Standing on an unnamed hill of more than 20 zhang in the east of the Datong River, overlooking the war in Hexi, Chen Benxing, the commander of the Zhennanpu Temporary Detachment, said to the people around him. "The Qing army is in reserve, and the right wing cannot carry out a breakthrough, once the left wing collapses first, the overall situation will be decided."
Wang Zongkang, who was the marching Sima of the Fourth Division of the Longxiang Army at that time and was in charge of the military aircraft of the Gouben Division, shook his head: "Poerpen can be sent by the Tatar chief Kangxi to preside over the Korean war, how can he be incompetent, maybe he still has a backhand." ”
"Backhand?" Chen Benxing chuckled. "If you don't do it, it's too late"
After Chen Benxing's words were finished, within the sight of his telescope, a team of mysterious Qing troops came out of hiding.
Chen Benxing was dumbfounded and asked, "This is?" Where did this artillery come from? It's not good, the Qing army is going to artillery. ”
The rumbling cannon sounded, indiscriminately sweeping all the North and South Korean troops in front of him to the ground, looking at the fire of the artillery attack Yijing approached the chaotic battle group on the river beach, Wang Zongkang nodded: "This is the back hand of the Poer basin, so ruthless." ”
Wang Zongkang explained to Chen Benxing, who was still unknown: "Look at the flag and the Hongyi cannon equipped, this should be the Green Battalion artillery team, no wonder I only saw the Eight Banners artillery team firing in front, it turned out that the Poer basin hid them on the left flank, and now they are taken as the winner, so it seems that the last Yidian power of the Poer basin should also be taken out." ”
Fangfo echoed Wang Zongkang's words, and a group of knights with gorgeous armor and nearly a hundred green flag soldiers who were guarded by Poerpen came out of the smoke and dust, and immediately crushed the South Korean army, which could not find a direction in the shelling.
Wang Zongkang said again: "Cui Xian still has more than a thousand reserves on hand, and if he is decisive, he may be able to redeem it." ”
Cui Xian's reserve really took action, but something helpless happened, driven by the Qing army's horse team, the South Korean army that fled backwards in chaos crushed Ziji's reinforcements, and now whether the Qing army on the left flank went straight to Cui Xian's Chinese army or outflanked the central front first, Cui Xian was helpless.
"Brother Bocheng, it's time for you to play." Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Wang Zongkang, who was watching the fire from the other side, finally smiled. "If Cui Xian completely fails, it will not be in the interests of the imperial court."
"Don't talk about me, it's time for you to move." Chen Benxing said as he ordered. "Flag."
With the fluttering of several signal flags, five converted flat-bottomed boats are speeding up the river. When they arrived near the predetermined èizhi, the five boats successively pointed their bows in the direction of the west of the river, and then the hull of the five hundred materials slowly grabbed the beach and approached the west of the river in a near-grounded manner. Even the ship came to a complete standstill, and the three-inch guns equipped with the bow spewed deadly flames one after another.
Just as the Qing army had destroyed the unprepared South Korean army with only six Hongyi cannons equipped with the Green Battalion a moment earlier, the unexpected artillery bombardment from the Xia army's naval division also caused great confusion among the Qing army and the North Korean army, which was regrouping under the reprimand of the Qing army. As soon as Shijian, the Qing army and the North Korean army did not care about the important mission of directly attacking Choi Heon's army and outflanking the central front, and escaping the artillery range of the Xia army as much as possible was the only thing they could think of.
Cui Xian was also a little at a loss for such twists and turns, but he quickly came back to his senses and immediately gathered the rout. Taking advantage of the confusion on the part of the Qing army, he finally gathered more than 3,000 subordinates and roughly reorganized them, and then immediately ordered them to rebuild a new defensive line on his right flank, so that the Qing army's long-planned fatal blow fell into the void.
Poerpen, who learned of the astonishing reversal, knew that something was wrong, but before he could make adjustments, the next blow of the Xia army followed one after another, and a series of battlefield signals were relayed, and a Xia army that had already been arranged on the periphery of the battlefield entered the battle within half an hour, shouting and rushing straight to the right flank of the Qing army.
Speaking of which, the strength of this Xia army is not much, only one regiment of more than 600 people, but after the North and South Korean troops who are fighting hear the Japanese roar that is getting closer and closer, they are like being stung by scorpions, and they turn around and run away regardless of the enemy in front of them. Even if the South Korean army fled, but the North Korean army actually carried its friendly troops with them, except for the inexplicable Daur Zuo Ling, who was still looking around in a daze, and the battlefield where he was fighting just now was only the corpses, the wounded, and the ordnance, armor, and some horses that had lost their owners when the two armies fled.
Seeing this scene, and then looking at the strange army that was about to pounce, several Daur Zuo leaders also turned around and ran, just like that, with the escape game between the two sides, the west side of the entire battlefield suddenly calmed down, leaving only a group of gods who wanted to gain military merits cursing there in disappointment.
"My lord, what now?" Several lower-level military attachés of Japanese origin could not resist their desire for military merit, and said to Niu Mingli, who was the head of the regiment. "Why don't we keep killing?"
Niu Mingli swept his subordinates who were sweating because of the charge, weighed it slightly, and then decided: "Drink water, rest for half a pillar of incense, and then we will go to find the Chinese army of Qingyu"
Niu Mingli was destined to be disappointed, and when he got the news of the collapse of the right flank, Poerpen immediately decided to withdraw his troops, and relying on the desperate artillery of the gunners, the Qing army blocked the pursuit of the South Korean army. Seeing the Qing army retreating, Cui Xian, who did not want to use his subordinates' flesh and blood to fight against the Qing army's artillery fire again, also took advantage of the situation to stop, and thus the battle of Hexi was over.
During the battle, the Qing army suffered more than 1,100 casualties, damaged and discarded four Hongyi cannons of the Green Battalion, about 300 war horses, and the North Korean army lost nearly 2,500 people. The losses of the South Korean army were around 4,000 men, and only the Xia army suffered no casualties.
"This official should have expected that the sea reversal would come out to stir up the situation." In terms of the number of troops involved in the battle and the final result, the Qing army should have been the victor, but the miserable victory of Poerpen felt the joy of victory, on the contrary, he only blamed himself. "It's just that I'm eager to win, and now how to explain to the emperor." Poel basin ziji untied the top flower feather and handed it to the deputy next to him. "Deputy commander of the horse, this official will be impeached later, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be troubled by you for the time being."
"Marshal, a total of eight banners are here, and I am afraid that the army will not accept it if the subordinate leads the troops, so I also ask the marshal to continue to command the departments for his difficulty." How dare Ma Changlu, the deputy commander of the White Banner of the White Banner of the Eight Banners New Army Ruijian Battalion, take over the top flower feather in the hands of the Poer Basin, as he Ziji said, although his status in the army is second only to the Poer Basin, but how can he restrain a kind of arrogant soldier and a real traitor who is a fake Tartar, so he can only carefully persuade him: "Besides, the lower official thinks that although the grandfather has not done his best in this battle, but he is defeated, the emperor will not see this yidian, so the so-called self-participation of the grandfather, the lower official is not necessary, Otherwise, the emperor may think that it would be bad for the grandfather to pick a son."
Poer was frightened and shocked, and looked back at Ma Changlu: "What Deputy Ma said is that this official has been taught. ”
Now that he had temporarily dispelled the idea of retreating as an advance, Poerpen, who had resumed his duties as the commander of the First Army, immediately ordered: "Immediately send someone to discuss with the South Korean military for the exchange of prisoners, and please allow us to clean up the wounded and corpses on the battlefield." ”
Regarding the Qing army's request to recover the corpses of the wounded and the dead in battle, Cui Xianbu kěnéng did not agree, and he also wanted to recover the corpses and wounded on the battlefield, otherwise, it would freeze overnight, and it is estimated that the living would also become corpses. Of course, Cui Xian did not agree to the exchange of prisoners, which was a topic of political significance, so the officers and men of the two armies who unfortunately fell into the hands of the other side were not as fortunate as those who were dying of the wounded.
After cleaning up the wounded and corpses on the battlefield, and not caring about further cleaning up the lost ordnance and munitions, Poerpen withdrew to Pyongyang overnight. After receiving the news of the retreat of the Qing army, Cui Xian let out a sigh of relief, but then he seemed to think of it again, and his expression became nervous. Yes, the South Korean Army had an advantage in strength in this battle, but the result was that the South Korean Army suffered more casualties than the opponent, and if it were not for the timely action of the Xia Army, the South Korean Army might still face the end of total annihilation.
In this case, Cui Xian could only instruct his henchmen in the end: "Go and ask the official of the Xia army stationed in Nanpu to come and talk about it"
