Seeing that the North Korean cannon fodder rushed to the Qing army's main position, causing chaos, Gonzalez and Huang Ding both gloated and laughed.

After laughing for a while, Huang Ding asked in an inquiring tone, "Is it time for the cavalry?" ”

Gonzalez nodded, and decisively adopted a risky tactic: "Beat the water dogs, not only the cavalry, but also the sons and daughters in front of them trot." Let's kill the past. Faced with the fleeting plane, Gonzalez adopted a decisive attitude.

As a result of the seizure and requisition in Korea, the cavalry of the Marine Corps now has more than 500 cavalry. But after all, the cavalry must first form a team, so the first to dispatch is the artillery.

The artillerymen led their horses to tie up the loaded guns, then led their horses around for half a circle, and then drove their horses towards the front of the battle. They ran to the front of the formation through the passage between the phalanxes, then led their horses around for half a circle, pointed the muzzles of the guns forward, and then compacted the ammunition in the chambers with their stabbing rods, lit the fire ropes, and blasted towards the place where the Qing army and the Korean cannon fodder were fighting.

This round of shelling completely blew up the North Korean cannon fodder and lost the courage to fight. With a "boom", all the North Korean cannon fodder ran around the battlefield like headless flies.

As soon as the sound of the cannon fell, the 500 cavalry of the Daping Army charged from the right side of the phalanx, and this charge made the entire battlefield even more chaotic, and even the phalanx that was steadily moving forward began to stop, assassinating the Korean cannon fodder close to the phalanx, preventing them from rushing into the formation, but confusing the formation of the Marine Division.

Seeing that the Daping Army had already approached, Duoduo also squinted and fell silent. After a while. He sighed, "Hey——! Withdraw! Retreat ten miles. Let the cavalry take cover behind you, don't mess around! ”

With its current chaotic formation, the Qing army could not resist the sailors and marines who came from the formation. Knowing that the road is a disadvantage. If you want to resist, it is not bravery, but stupidity. So while those North Korean cannon fodder were still on the battlefield, Duoduo took the initiative to withdraw one after another.

It's really cannon fodder for success and cannon fodder for defeat. The more than 10,000 headless flies of North Korean cannon fodder also blocked the advance of the Marine Corps. By the time the Daping army finally dispersed them, the Qing army had already withdrawn from the battlefield and retreated to the rear. Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was waiting in the rear. I also felt that the pursuit speed of the phalanx could not catch up with the Qing army. Gonzalez and Huang Ding no longer reluctantly pursued, and Mingjin withdrew his troops in time to stop the day's battle.

The battle of the day. The Qing army can be said to be very depressed in defeat. They didn't have time to start a frontal battle with the Daeping army, but they lost the "battle" with North Korean cannon fodder. Especially those North Korean cannon fodder were captured and driven away by the Qing army, which is really a footnote of lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot!

As inexplicable, the Qing army lost more than a thousand soldiers and horses. And the Marine Corps spent only a few dozen shells. It can be said that there is no damage. Especially this time the Qing army in order to attack Seoul. The six generals' cannons brought with them were all abandoned by the Qing army on the way back. This made the Qing army's long-range firepower also suffer a great loss, and once the Marine Corps of the Navy Division fought unfavorably and retreated to Seoul to defend to the death, the Qing army would not have any means to attack the city, which also made the Daping army invincible.

For this reason, after three days of rest, Dordor hurried to lead the army. Advancing again, wanting to completely defeat the Dahei army in the field. Do not let the Daping army have a chance to retreat.

But at this time, the third batch of 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Marine Corps of the Marine Division had also landed in Korea. This force marched to Anju and joined the main force led by Gonzalez and Huang Ding.

As a result, the Qing army has also become a disadvantage in terms of troops. For this reason, Duoduo let the troops be stationed on the spot to defend the northward advance of the Daping army; On the other hand, he urgently reported to Zilharang, asking him to send reinforcements to reinforce his troops as soon as possible. As a result, these two forces also stalemate in Anzhou.

……

Duoduo in Korea was depressed, but Abatai was even more depressed when he entered the customs.

On 27 May, Abatai, who had received an urgent order from Dolgon, led 50,000 Mongol troops to enter the customs from Weixian (now Zhangjiakou), and marched in the direction of Beijing. Since the main forces of the Daping army were fighting everywhere, it was impossible to arrange enough troops on the defense line of the Great Wall, so the entry of the Abatai Department was not met with any resistance, but the beacon fire of the Great Wall also spread all over the four directions. As soon as the wolf smoke rose, the entire front line of Xuanda was organized and mobilized, and began to completely clear the field to prevent the Qing army from taking food on the spot.

Since the defense line of the Great Wall has become undefended, the Daping Dynasty began to organize exercises to clear the wilderness at the beginning of the founding of the country. And now, as soon as the beacon fire was seen in Beizhili and Shanxi, the officials immediately gathered the people scattered in the countryside into various cities and military tun villages. Except for the people in the mountains, if anyone is scattered outside the city, they will all be killed. The grain and grass outside the city were also transported into the city, and even the crops that were about to be harvested in the summer were harvested as much as possible, and all those that were too late to harvest were burned, so that the Qing army could not get a grain of grain.

As soon as Abatai led 50,000 Qing troops into the pass, he felt that it was difficult to move an inch. Because a few months ago, the Monan grassland that Pegasus Town had just swept away, so the losses of the Mongolian tribes were very large. The number of cattle and sheep seized in Pegasus alone exceeded 100,000, and the number of cattle and sheep killed by not being able to carry them was no less than that. Therefore, when Abatai entered the customs this time, they did not carry much food and grass supplies.

Of course, when nomads entered the Central Plains, they never had the habit of bringing more grain and grass. They have always taken grain on the spot, robbed all the way, and plundered all the grain, grass and wealth along the way.

However, this time the actions of the Daping Dynasty were unexpected by the Qing army.

Because last year, the entire northern region was plagued by wars, and the Ming army, the Dashun army, the Qing army, and the Runing army were all killed and killed, resulting in the failure of the grain harvest in the northern region, and the land was barren for a whole year.

In order to resettle these victims, the government of the Daping Dynasty strictly enforced the "Three Decrees" before and after the establishment of the Daping Dynasty. The victims of the disaster and the displaced people were concentrated in various military tun villages and carried out collective production. In addition, grain was transported to various cities and villages, which were used as rations and grain for the people.

In order to prevent bandits from invading, all military Tunzhuang sons have also set up teams to protect the village. Although these guards were not equipped with any firearms, their training was also based on the phalanx of the Runing Army.

Therefore, when the Abatai Ministry entered the customs this time, they actually couldn't find grain and grass in the countryside. If you want to get it, you must attack a well-defended city or a Tuntian Zhuangzi.

On the third day of the first month of June, the first army of Xuanhua was in Zhuangzizhong.

Guan Qiguo looked at the more than 10,000 Qing soldiers outside Zhuangzi, densely packed, in fact, he couldn't count them at all. At this time, he was a little timid in his heart, but as the highest official in Zhuangzi, judging from his expression, he was still relatively calm.

"Can this Zhuangzi hold on?" Guan Qiguo asked Shi Zhen beside him.

Shi Zhen is a veteran of the former Runing Army, he was injured in his left hand and discharged from the army, so he has now become an official in charge of military training and law and order in the township.

Shi Zhen carefully poked his head out, looked at the Qing soldiers outside, and then whispered to Guan Qiguo: "Open it in half!" We have no firearms, and we only have a few dozen hunting bows and arrows, so we can only fight to the death in the city. However, the walls of Zhuangzi were too low, so it took little effort for the Tartars to build ladders. If the children use all the usual exercises, they can still withstand the tartars. But none of them have ever been in battle, so I'm afraid that they will be weak by then, so there will be some trouble. ”

Juntun Zhuangzi, where Guan Qi is located, is the largest one in the vicinity, so as the head of the township, he personally presided over the defense of this Zhuangzi. However, this Zhuangzi is also the place where the rations of the entire township are supplied, so there are more than 2,000 stones of grain and grass in the village. And it was these more than 2,000 stone of grain that attracted the Qing army, which was short of food.

However, there are also many village guards in this village. After gathering the people and horses of several nearby Zhuangzi, there are now more than 2,000 people in the village. And Zhuangzi is not a city after all, and the scope is much smaller, so 2,000 people and horses are more than enough to guard such a small Zhuangzi.

But the loss is the loss, there are no ranged weapons and the walls are too low. This time, the Qing army entered the customs in pursuit of high-speed mobility, so there were many horses, and many soldiers were one-man or three-rider. However, they just didn't carry siege ordnance, and they didn't even bring many craftsmen, so it was basically impossible to attack the tall fortified city. But now that they saw this Juntun Zhuangzi with only a low city wall, they would attack it at all costs.

And now the Qing army is on the verge of food shortage. Although it is summer, there are many birds and animals in the countryside, so you can maintain it for a while by hunting. However, 50,000 soldiers and horses ate horses, and they couldn't last long in one place. And the Qing army entered the customs, was it just for hunting? No matter how you look at it, this thing seems a little funny.

Therefore, the current Qing army is bound to win this Zhuangzi who is in charge of the Qi country.

And after listening to Shi Zhen's words, Guan Qiguo smiled bitterly, it seems that this difficulty is very sad! Then he commanded: "Do your best!" If you keep it, the official will give you credit. If you can't keep it, let's go to the Martyrs' Shrine together. ”

Shi Zhen nodded, stretched out his injured left hand and moved it, and then said to Guan Qiguo: "My lord! I've already arranged for dozens of cronies to go into the granary. Now the door of the granary is locked, and as soon as the Zhuangzi is broken, they will immediately set it on fire, and they will never let the Tartar get a grain of grain. ”

Guan Qiguo heard Shi Zhen so devastated, smiled again, and said to him: "This is very good, be prepared." Explain this to all the guards! If the Zhuangzi is broken and there is no food, even if they want to surrender, they and their whole family will be killed by the Tartars. (To be continued......)
