Chapter 257: Soldiers Divide into Three Ways (Reward and Change)
I have to say that Hauge's sense of smell on the battlefield is too keen, just by virtue of the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, he immediately knows that it is the enemy!
It's a pity that there are too few Eight Banners around Haoge.
Hanyang originally had 10,000 soldiers, 2,000 of whom followed the Eight Banners of North Korea to stabilize the situation in various parts of Korea.
Tonight, Turg took 3,000 people, Li Shutai took 3,000 people, and there are only 2,000 elite horsemen around Haoge at present.
In addition, there were 2,000 Tian Helpers in the battalion, 30,000 Korean miscellaneous troops and 30,000 Korean people, plus Li Liang and several of his personal guards.
Hauge knew that his battalion was weak, and at the same time, through the sound of horses' hooves, he judged that the enemy army could have about 15,000 men, and all of them were cavalry.
"Could it be that the Ming army still has reinforcements?" Hauge thought as he straightened out his fine ride, "Or, is Shang Ke a female trunk?"
At this moment, Shang Kexi sent someone to report that the Tianzhu soldiers were ready and were waiting for military orders at any time.
Haoge was relieved, even if Shang Kewei was a female cadre, Prince Zhi of the Qing Dynasty was definitely not a traitor, "Let Shang Kexi lead people to stabilize the Korean soldiers, strengthen the defense, and at the same time send the Korean people out of the camp to block the enemy's way!"
In another camp, Shang Kewei listened to the sound of rolling horses' hooves and knew that Wu Sangui had arrived, so he took out the fireworks that had been prepared a long time ago, and prepared to inform the Ming army in the distance of the location of the Tianzhu soldiers and the camp gate, so that the Ming army could enter the camp smoothly.
At this moment, a herald came and shouted, "Prince Zhi, the emperor has an order, quickly go and stabilize the Korean soldiers, consolidate the defense area, and at the same time drive all the Korean people out to block the enemy!"
Shang Kexi received the order loudly and sent Ban Zhifu to the North Korean barracks with 1,000 people on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Kewei was ordered to take another 1,000 people to drive the Korean people out of the camp.
30,000 ragged North Korean men were red out of their tents by the Heavenly Aid Soldiers, and gathered in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from.
When the herald saw it, he went away with confidence.
In the distance, Wu Sangui led the army to march rapidly through the snow, and more than 50 people galloping at the front were nervously and carefully scouting the ground, using their rich experience to open the way for the army.
At the same time, they also have a mission to break down the wall.
Once Shang Kexi did not successfully open the camp gate, they would rush to the periphery of the Jianyu barracks as soon as possible and blow up the wooden wall with explosives packs.
Hauge listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and listened to the noisy movements of the Korean people, and his face was gloomy.
This little person around him is simply not an opponent of the enemy who comes to attack.
Haoge pondered, those 30,000 Korean soldiers would definitely be able to block two or three quarters of an hour, and even if Shang Kexi and the North Korean soldiers didn't have much combat power, 30,000 people together could still block the Ming army for half an hour.
In this way, you have a considerable amount of maneuver time.
"The armies obey orders." Hauge shouted, "Take Li Liang, leave the camp through the east gate, detour south, and outflank the enemy's rear road!"
The soldiers received the order with a bang, opened the east gate, and ran out with Hauge.
Shang Kewei saw that there was no longer a prisoner around him, and kept shouting to the Korean people around him: "The Great Tomorrow Master is coming, you should quickly flee in the north and south directions, so as not to die here!"
The Korean people were reluctant to come out to die, but when they saw that the general had let them flee, they were ecstatic to flee as if they were about to be amnestied, and soon gave way to the smooth road to the west.
Shang Kewei heard the sound of horses' hooves for less than a mile, and hurriedly set off fireworks.
The bright red light rose to the sky, pointing out the direction for Wu Sangui's army.
The Ming army rushed quickly in the direction of the red light.
In the east of the camp, Hauge looked at the red light, immediately reined in the reins of the horse, sat on the horse's back and pondered for a long time, "Watch Li Liang, let's go back to Seoul first!"
Haoge knew that this strange red light must be some kind of signal, at this time, it could be basically concluded that Shang Ke was a female cadre, if he dispersed the Korean people and opened the camp gate, the Ming army would definitely be able to quickly rush into the camp.
If Shang Kexi did not defect, the Tianzhu soldiers and the Korean soldiers would definitely not be able to stop the Ming army's attack, and even if they went around to the rear of the enemy army, they would not be able to repel the Ming army, so it was better to leave and return to Hanyangjian
Guard.
If Shang Kexi is also a traitor, then this place is a Jedi for the Qing Dynasty, and Haoge has to withdraw to Hanyang as soon as possible.
Hao Ge said in his heart: "Fortunately, this king has Li Liang by his side! There's still some way out."
Da Da Da ......
Hauge asked his soldiers to tightly wrap Li Liang and go south, hoping to wait for Turg and Li Shutai's men and horses to defend Hanyang.
……
At the same time.
A Ming army of 3,000 men appeared outside the city of Hanyang.
They set out from Kaesong just after dark and made a circle to Hanyang.
It turned out that Wu Sangui, Chen Yongfu and Dingwang carefully analyzed Haoge's troops and guessed that Hanyang was already an empty city.
It was decided to use Shang Kexi's chess piece, leaving 10,000 men to defend Kaesong, sending 15,000 men to attack the Haoge camp, and sending another 3,000 of the most elite rifle cavalry to raid Hanyang.
If the rifle cavalry can't take Hanyang, they will immediately withdraw to preserve their strength, and if they successfully win the city gate, then Hauge will become a lost dog, and he will no longer have the ability to fight back.
Now, three thousand rifle cavalrymen, each with a two-headed or even three-headed torch, stood outside the city and shouted for the door.
The defenders of Hanyang looked condescendingly, feeling that there were nearly 10,000 enemies, and they were immediately frightened.
At this time, there were only 100 captive soldiers in the city, and the rest were all Korean soldiers.
The Ming army shouted outside the city, "Haoge has been defeated and killed, quickly open the door to meet the Great Tomorrow Division."
There are 9 city gates in Hanyang, most of which are not guarded by captives, and the Korean soldiers do not dare to resist or open the door, only saying that they will open the door tomorrow morning.
Naturally, the Ming army did not allow it, and threw three or five grenades to the head of the city.
With the sound of a loud explosion, the Ming army shouted again: "If you don't open the door again, attack the city immediately." I will kill all the defenders of the city!"
Some Korean soldiers were cowardly, so they opened the city gate without permission and let the Ming army enter the city.
The captives who learned that the Ming army had entered the city were shocked, knowing that they had become the targets of the public, and they could not resist at all, and fled through several other city gates.
The Korean soldiers did not dare to stop the Jurchens, and the Ming army was powerless to pursue, so they let them go.
After the Ming army entered the city, they quickly found the officials in the city to understand the situation in the city, and at the same time announced that the Great Tomorrow would go to the kingdom and practice benevolent government, and not arrest or kill anyone.
Only then did the pro-Qing officials feel at ease, and they stayed in the yamen honestly, waiting for the fate.
……
Wu Sangui led the Ming soldiers to rush into the Haoge camp without blood, and went straight into the big tent of the Chinese army, and found that the tent was empty, and the same was true of the barracks and stables in various places.
In addition, the soldiers came to report that the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, was not in the camp and must have been taken away by Haoge.
"Damn!" Wu Sangui was annoyed, and in one fell swoop, the great work of leveling the remnants of Jianyu slipped away from his fingertips.
"Someone!" Wu Sangui shouted, "Hurry up and ride 5,000 lightly, chase south!"
