Cao Eryu snorted, turned around and hurriedly left the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Seeing Cao Eryu leave, Dolgon's face fell again.

Hou Fangyu asked in a low voice, "Is the master worried that he won't be able to take the big gukou?" ”

"It's not just Dagukou." Dolgon didn't deliberately hide his emotions in front of Hou Fangyu, and twisted Dongzhu behind his back with his right hand behind his back and said, "The upcoming battle in Liaodong also worries me. ”

"Yes." Hou Fangyu thought deeply and said, "There are still gains and losses in Liaodong at the mouth of Dagu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to the future national fortune of my Qing Dynasty. ”

"That's why I'm worried." Dolgon muttered, "In these two battles, you can only win and not lose!" ”

"So that the master can rest assured, the chances of winning these two battles are still very high." As he spoke, Hou Fangyu walked over to the map hanging on the north wall.

"Let's talk about Dagukou first, this is the Jedi of soldiers."

"At the beginning of the year, the Qing Dynasty lost because it was too light on the enemy and did not invest enough troops and firearms, and secondly, because the time was not grasped well, when we were preparing to attack with gunpowder, the North Sea was just thawed, so that the Ming army could divert seawater to pour into the tunnel, and the gunpowder could not explode if it was soaked with seawater."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "This time it will definitely not be the case, this time my Qing soldiers have made full preparations, and it is now the beginning of October, it has just entered the winter, we have enough time to slowly dig the tunnel, and then bury the powder keg into the ground, and destroy the Dagu mouth and the outer platform." ”

For Hou Fangyu's analysis, Dolgon still agrees with it.

With a soft hum, Dolgon said again: "But Liaodong is afraid that there will inevitably be a fierce battle, since Chongzhen dares to bring 20,000 Ming troops to Liaodong, he must have something to rely on." ”

Hou Fangyu said: "Chongzhen's battle cannot be the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Xuzhou, but these hundreds of thousands of Ming troops are just bluffing, so the master doesn't have to worry, but North Korea needs to pay attention." ”

"Huh?" Dolgon's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you worried about North Korea's backlash? ”

Hou Fangyu said: "Master, after all, North Korea has been a vassal state of the Nanming domain for nearly three hundred years, from the Korean clan to the ordinary Korean people, and they have feelings for the Nanming. did not die, and was sent back to Seoul by the Ming army in Liaodong, it is very likely that Li Liang will be established as the son of Joseon, so that Korea will inevitably rebel against the Qing and return to the Southern Ming. ”

"I'm not worried about that." Dolgon shook his head and said, "There are three thousand guards with Ao Bai and white flags, even if Li? It is useless to return to North Korea under the escort of the Ming army, they will not be able to turn the sky. ”

……

Dorgon was overconfident, and Aobai was already in trouble.

Here it is necessary to introduce the process of the return of the Li brothers to the DPRK.

Ten days ago, Zhu Cijiong took the lead in crossing the Yalu River to protect Li? Enter North Korea.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong didn't know that Ao Bai and Li Hao were also coming, otherwise, Zhu Cijiong would definitely set up an ambush on the way and kill Ao Bai and Li Hao first.

But because Ao Bai entered North Korea later, and he also took the road of Yiju, he knew about the 3,000 Ming army and Li? Aobai chased forward day and night.

Ao Bai and the three thousand white-armored soldiers were all cavalry, and they covered a thousand miles in only four days.

On the morning of the tenth day, the white flag guards finally caught up with the Ming army's scout cavalry near Yanshuyi, ten miles away in the northern suburbs of Seoul, and then a small-scale outpost battle broke out between the two sides.

The two armies were in a circle, and the more than a dozen nights with white flags did not take the Ming army into account at all.

These dozen nights did not retract their big bows, and approached the Ming army with a big grin, preparing to enter within fifty steps and then shoot the Ming army with heavy arrows.

These white-armored soldiers were all experienced in a hundred battles and knew the performance of the Ming army's firearms very well.

Whether it is the former bird gun, the Lumi gun, or the self-generated gun now equipped, the Ming army's firearms can only be accurate if they enter within 50 steps, and once they exceed 50 steps, whether they can hit can only rely on luck.

Therefore, the dozen or so nights with white flags seemed to be fearless, and there were even first-class cat play rats, and they couldn't wait to see the Ming army show a desperate expression.

However, what happened next was not what they expected.

When the two sides were about 100 paces apart, the broken Ming scout cavalry raised their self-made fire guns one after another.

Seeing this scene, instead of being afraid, the white flag was not afraid, but laughed unscrupulously, and the laughter was full of contempt for the Ming army and firearms, who to bluff?

Can you hit such a long way?

More than a dozen Jiannu white-armored soldiers laughed.

At a distance of a hundred paces, they didn't believe that the Ming army's self-generated fire guns could hit them, and even if they hit them, they were not afraid, because they were all wearing triple armor.

At that moment, more than a dozen Jiannu white-armored soldiers continued to urge the horse forward.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were less than eighty paces away.

Eighty paces, it has entered the effective range of the Jiannu Great Bow.

However, at this moment, the Ming army on the opposite side took the lead in pulling the trigger.

With the sound of "Boom, Boom", the muzzles of more than a dozen self-generated firearms rose from white smoke.

The leading Jiannu white-armored soldier wanted to laugh, but as soon as his mouth opened, before he could laugh, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his breath was stuck in his throat.

Am I being shot? It seems to have been hit by lead.

Wearing a triple armor stomach, it is impossible to be pierced by lead.

The Jiannu white armor soldier cursed in his heart, and when he looked down again, he saw that there was already a scorched black hole in the chest of the cotton armor, which was obviously penetrated by the Ming army's lead bullet.

Into the thief, eighty steps away to wear cotton armor?

The lethality of the Ming army's self-generated firearms is okay.

Immediately afterwards, a scene that surprised Jiannu Baijia appeared to him.

I saw that the originally charred black bullet hole suddenly turned red, and then streams of blood overflowed from the bullet hole, and the white cotton armor was red at once.

At this time, the breath stuck in my throat finally came up.

"I've been shot!" The Jiannu white armor soldiers screamed like pigs.

Before he could finish speaking, the Jiannu white-armored soldier fell from his horse.

Almost at the same time, the other Jiannu white-armored soldiers also fell one after another.

More than a dozen Jiannu did not collect at night, and not even a single messenger was left, and all of them were killed.

"Take the horse away!" As soon as the commander of the Ming army waved his hand, he divided seven or eight horsemen from the scout cavalry, stepped forward to take away more than ten Jiannu war horses that had lost their masters, and soon disappeared on the official road.

……

At this time, Zhu Cijiong led the Ming army to reach the north gate of Hancheng.

However, the Korean army defending the city was like a great enemy, and the two city gates were closed early, and there were also shadowy Korean troops on the city.

Plum? I felt a little embarrassed.

Immediately explained: "King Ding, don't mind, they don't know that the minister is with you." ”

"I don't mind." Zhu Cijiong smiled, and continued, "However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, you should quickly send someone to inform your father." ”

"Okay, the minister will send someone to see his father."

Plum? Hurriedly called his henchman Park Dong-hee to him, and after a few words, Park Dong-hee rode away on horseback.

Zhu Cijiong also restrained the war horse, raised his hand and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army will stop advancing and rest on the spot." ”

The rest horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who were originally marching in line, stopped their feet one after another, first stepped, and then sat on the side of the road in unison.

Zhu Cijiong turned over and jumped off the war horse, took out the wine and was about to take two sips, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him.

Looking back, it was the scout cavalry after the break that quickly caught up, and the leading captain was also a Qinwang soldier, urging the horse to come to Zhu Cijiong and report loudly: "King Ding, there are Jiannu cavalry, the number is unknown, but there are at least two thousand!" ”

"At least two thousand Jiannu cavalry?" Zhu Cijiong immediately put the wine jar back into his satchel, and then turned over and stepped on the horse, "Trumpeter, blow the assembly trumpet, the whole army is in a hollow phalanx!" ”

"All of ...... are all of all of them"

More than a dozen trumpeters immediately lined up to blow the suona.

In the loud sound of the horn, the Ming army, which was originally sitting on the ground to rest, got up one after another, and then trained according to the usual queue, and quickly formed a small hollow phalanx.

It is necessary to say that Zhu Cijiong's 3,000 new army consisted of two infantry battalions plus one cavalry, with a total of 2,700 infantry and 450 cavalry.

The 3,150 Forces nouvelles were soon formed into a hollow phalanx.

Of these, 1,350 infantry were divided into three groups, with their guns pointed forward.

Another 1,350 infantry were also divided into three teams, with their guns facing backwards.

On the left and right flanks of the hollow phalanx were more than 100 cavalry.

In addition, 100 cavalry were scattered in front of and on both sides of the phalanx.

This is a standard modern cavalry infantry mixed hollow phalanx.

……

At this time, the three thousand Jiannu cavalry had already chased to the vicinity of Yanshu Station.

Looking at the dozen or so corpses lying on the official road, Ao Bai's face turned black into the bottom of the pot.

Because among these dozen corpses, one is the body of his younger brother Mulima, he has a total of eight brothers, and the eldest brother Zhuo Butai died on the battlefield in Xuzhou three years ago.

Unexpectedly, the third brother Mulima also folded in North Korea.

"This, this is all done by the Ming army?" Li Hao was a little surprised, didn't it mean that all the protectors of the Qing Dynasty were leaders, and one protector could beat dozens of Ming army scouts?

Why did these dozen or so protectors in turn let the Ming army kill them?

Jabran jumped off his horse sideways and stepped forward to inspect the body.

A month ago, Dolgon carried out a large-scale transfer of the military generals of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and all the generals with yellow flags such as Ao Bai were transferred to the white flags, and Yabran and others were also transferred to the white flags.

After a while, Yabran got up and said to Aobai, "All of them died from the Ming army's self-generated fire, and the lead bullet pierced all the triple armor on their bodies, so they should have been put at a very close range." ”

"But Mulima, the heavy arrows in their quivers are still there."

"If the lowly job is not mistaken, they should have been ambushed by Minggou."

Including Yabran and Aobai, there was a serious miscalculation, because they had no idea that such a rifled rifle had appeared in this world.
