Chapter 1491: The decisive battle begins

After resting for a night, Zhao Hongyu let the army march early the next morning and began to march towards Dolgon's station.

In this regard, Zhao Hongyu did not have any intention of concealing it, and it was completely fanfare. Therefore, it was easy for the spies sent by Dolgon to see the movement here, and then quickly returned to Dolgon's side.

In this regard, Dolgon still does not understand that the other party is forcing himself to fight a decisive battle.

Today, the environment is very unfavorable for Dorgon's side. To the east of them, the Goryeo amassed an army of 300,000, although the Goryeo army was completely fragile and did not need to be taken seriously.

With only the 150,000 Eight Banner Elite in his hands, he could completely defeat them.

But that's only under normal circumstances.

Now that the main force of the Song people has arrived to the west, the Goryeo people can't take care of it here.

Because if you go to fight the Koreans now, the Song people in the west will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and they will come hard behind them.

Therefore, the weakest and most vulnerable Koreans should be allowed to stay in the west.

The main enemy is the Song people, and all the energy and attention must be placed on the side of the Song people.

As long as the threat of the Song people can be solved, then it will be easy to go back and clean up the Goryeo people.

Of course, although the 300,000 Koreans are overwhelmed, once they are to join forces with the Song people, they will still pose a great threat to their side.

Dolgon's heart was filled with anxiety, and the feeling made her very uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, in fact, Dorgon was also a little frightened by the current situation.

Duoduo and the other nobles are now like ants on a hot pot, completely losing their cool.

With the arrival of the main force of the Song people, their pressure doubled, as if a heavy stone had been pressed on their hearts. Leave them a little breathless.

In the end, it was Dolgon who made the decision, and that was to fight the Song people.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!

The Goryeo people in the east, the Ming Dynasty in the south, and the Song people pressed up from the west, so it can be said that they have no way to retreat.

Although there are no enemies or obstacles in this direction to the north, the north is very desolate, and it is a completely uninhabited area.

If Dorgon and them fled north, how long would they be able to escape?

Very real problem. Because there was no one to steal supplies for them, they would eventually starve to death in the north.

I have to say that the Houjin Eight Banners are still martial, and everyone is not doing anything to produce and all their energy is focused on armaments, which is very good at first glance.

But now, a very bad side has been exposed.

Let's fight!

If you fight hard, you may be able to earn a way to live, but if you don't fight hard, you really have no way to live at all.

Dorgon and Dordor, and all the nobles. The current situation is well understood.

So, they can't help but have more choices.

If Dolgon hadn't attacked Daishan a few days ago, Dolgon would have survived if they had chosen to surrender.

However, this way has been since Dolgon led his troops to raid Daishan last night. It's already blocked by themselves.

Zhao Hongyu is not a good man and a woman, especially for these Houjin Eight Banners.

In fact, in private, there were many people on Dorgon's side who secretly sent people, saying that they wanted to surrender.

Pity. For these people, Zhao Hongyu's only meaning is to cut off their heads and throw them on the side of the road.

Surrender?

Joke. What did you do earlier?

Only now do you have to choose to surrender.

It's not that I haven't given a chance, but what kind of choice did these people make?

Grandma's, only now choose to surrender, but unfortunately there is only one chance, and if you miss it, there will be no more.

And Zhao Hongyu's attitude made everyone desperate.

In this desperate situation, these people on Dorgon's side can only make a choice.

At least, there is still a chance to fight, and it is always better than not fighting.

Dolgon's 150,000 Eight Banners elite also began to prepare as Zhao Hongyu's army approached step by step.

He abandoned his camp, and in order to face Zhao Hongyu and the imperial army, Dolgon and they chose a more suitable place. A small plain near Pyongyang was used as the venue for the decisive battle.

At the very least, choosing this place is more conducive to the charge of the Eight Banners cavalry, which may give them a slight advantage.

Regarding the movement of Dolgon's army, Zhao Hongyu quickly grasped its dynamic news.

And after the analysis of his staff officers, he came to the conclusion that the location was conducive to the cavalry charge.

It's just that this favorable condition in Dolgon's opinion, on Zhao Hongyu's side, they don't care at all.

You must know that in front of the Imperial military planes that have been opened, the cavalry charge has no advantage at all. All they can do is send them to death.

So, how can you care.

As for uniting the Koreans, Zhao Hongyu didn't even think about it.

Because the combat power of the Koreans is too weak, they can't count on it at all.

Rather than letting them make trouble, Zhao Hongyu felt that it was best to let them be honest.

"The elite of the 150,000 Eight Banners has arrived on the small plain of Pyongyang, and has already lined up and is waiting for our army to arrive. According to the analysis of our staff officers, when our army arrives, Dolgon will not give us a chance to reorganize our army, and will attack immediately. “

Riding on a horse, Zhao Hongyu told Li Zicheng the analysis of the staff officers on his side, so that he could understand some of the current situation.

"Oh, if that's the case, the war might be a little bad for us. After all, most of His Royal Highness the Prince's army is mainly infantry, but Dolgon's 150,000 Eight Banner soldiers are all cavalry. So are we taking a bit of a risk? ”

Li Zicheng's thinking is still in the normal thinking mode of people in this era, and in his opinion, infantry is very inferior to cavalry.

Therefore, Li Zicheng felt that it was very dangerous for Zhao Hongyu to lead the army to fight in the location they had chosen for Dolgon.

"I think that in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to follow Dorgon's ideas at all, and can take a path from the plains. By stationing a large army in this place, you can threaten them. ”

Li Zicheng raised his hand and pointed to an inferior military map in front of him, and said to Zhao Hongyu.

This inferior hand-drawn map was given to him by Zhao Hongyu.

Although this map is hand-drawn, it is not very good.

However, it also brought Li Zicheng a great shock.

At least, Li Zicheng didn't know that he still had to look at the map to fight.

With this inferior hand-drawn map, Lee Zicheng was able to grasp the environment of a large area around Pyongyang, and based on this, he could make the best choice.

Zhao Hongyu glanced at it. It was discovered that the place that Li Zicheng was referring to was a forest area on the outskirts of Pyongyang's small plain. And here it is true that there is a great advantage over the infantry, and it is possible to restrain the charge of the cavalry.

It's just that Zhao Hongyu won't do this, he wants to crush Dolgon's army from the front. Let Li Zicheng see how powerful the imperial military is, and also hope that this battle will remind all the Manchus and create a shadow of 'the empire is strong and invincible'.

Cavalry in this era, and for a long time to come. It's all the mainstream class.

It's a pity that in front of the open Imperial Army, the cavalry can't play any advantage at all.

It is also even more unlikely that there will be an advantage in saving zĂ i.

Today, Zhao Hongyu will make everyone realize this. And forever imprinted on their hearts.

"Don't bother, Dolgon, they can't pose much of a threat to us, I can tell you this to the person in charge, because we have the money. And not blind conceit. “

Zhao Hongyu sat on the horse and smiled, and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng stopped talking. He also wondered why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty was so confident in this matter.

You know, that's an army of 150,000 elite cavalry of the Eight Banners.

Of course, some of these things are complicated to say. Zhao Hongyu couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so the best way was to pass the battle and let Li Zicheng see it with his own eyes and feel it for himself.

About a few hours later, at noon, Zhao Hongyu led the army to finally arrive at the place of the decisive battle.

Sure enough, as analyzed by the staff officers, when Zhao Hongyu and the others arrived, the Dolgon side, which had already been in strict formation, did not give them a chance to reorganize the army at all, and with the sound of a desolate horn, the 150,000 Eight Banner cavalry launched a charge.

What will it be like for 150,000 cavalry to charge?

If you want to describe it, the charge of the 150,000 cavalry is like an erupting torrent, and it is also like the waves that constantly crash on the shore when the tide rises on the bank of the Qiantang River.

It's a pity that Dolgon's abacus is playing well and wants to control the situation in momentum. But what they were facing was an open Imperial Army, so the inhuman deterrent formed by the charge of the 150,000 army had no effect at all.

Of course, this is only for the Imperial Army.

The Daishan Department on the left flank was already a little flustered, and some of the timid soldiers had already begun to run back.

For this reason, Dai Shan had to order the troops to execute those who deserted in order to stabilize the front.

Better than Daizen and them, there are tens of thousands of Kyushu Japanese soldiers on the right wing, but they are only a little better than Daizenbu.

The Japanese had seen such a large-scale cavalry charge, and this scene alone made them look stupid.

It's just that the Japanese people were able to stand firm, and there were no deserters just because they were inspired to be fierce in their bones under this scene.

Now, it depends on whether the Imperial Army in the central part can withstand the charge, as long as the Imperial Army can withstand it, then the Japanese army will also be able to withstand it.

But if the Imperial Army can't withstand it, then everything will be over.

As for whether the Imperial Army will work or not, in fact, this is not a question at all.

At least, in the eyes of Zhao Hongyu and the Chinese officers of the empire, it was not a problem.

"Check the barrel! Load gunpowder! The artillery men prepare, reload the flower shells, and adjust the distance to ......", facing the charging of the 150,000 Eight Banners cavalry, the grassroots officers on the side of the Imperial Army began to prepare in a very orderly and calm manner.
