Chapter 126: Defeat Again
Sure enough, Li Zong hesitated for a moment, but agreed with Jin Shengnan's opinion, and said: "What Jin Lao said is right, this king will draft a decree now, and ask King Xing to withdraw the army from the palace." ”
Yang Xin waved his hand and said coldly: "No need, I have strict discipline in the Daxing Army, and before the matter is completed, I will temporarily guard the palace for the king's royal forest army, and the king guarantees that Brother Li can rest easy." ”
Li Zong was helpless, listening to the other party's intention to put himself under house arrest, he had heard of the strict discipline of the Daxing army, and he would rather sleep on the street than harass the people in Longren Mansion, and the Daxing guards in the palace yesterday were not chaotic at all, and they could not be said at the same time as the Qing army.
"Okay, please keep your word."
Now, the only way to do this is to settle this crisis as soon as possible and let them withdraw as soon as possible.
"Aobai, please also take all the people and horses and go with this king, right?"
Yang Xin didn't want to leave the Qing army in Wangjing, he had to turn the world upside down.
Ao Bai was helpless, so he had to snort coldly and agree, now that the ship has been seized, his Qing army is all landlubbers, if he doesn't take it back, will he have to go back from the northeast?
When the Goryeo monarchs heard that the Qing army was leaving, everyone was overjoyed and relieved.
It didn't take long for Jiao Xuewen to take over the defense of the palace, Yang Xin instructed him to be optimistic about Li Zong, and then only brought a hundred personal soldiers, together with the Qing army of Aobai, Jin Shengnan's 10,000 Royal Forest Army, that is, the five scum of the war that were broken up yesterday.
It took a whole day for these Goryeo troops to be gathered, and the anxious Aobai almost set fire and looted the city, and at noon he ordered Sadotu to be the vanguard, lead a thousand troops, and go to the front to open the way.
In Aobai's view, Yang Xin's move is simply a big fuss, and he only needs to send 1,000 elites of the Eight Banners to wipe out the so-called 10,000 troops, and these Goryeo troops are not vulnerable at all.
Yang Xin also said that his troops were insufficient, and he didn't want to lose the army and face the Goryeo army, and he didn't want to ask for help, so he had to use the Koreans to subdue the Goryeo people, which was the best policy, otherwise if he caused too many killings in Goryeo, it would not be conducive to his long-term foothold in Goryeo in the future.
Yang Xin also waited for a long time, fortunately, there were a thousand Qing troops of Sadotu to rescue first, and he was a little settled in his heart, thinking that with the elite of the Qing army, this thousand forwards cooperated with the seven hundred defenders of Longren Mansion, and it should not be a big problem to defeat the 10,000 Goryeo naval divisions, and when it was dark, Jin Shengnan's 10,000 imperial forest army was completed, Yang Xin could only wait until the next day to set off, and he wanted this group of rabble to travel at night, I am afraid that there will be a big problem again.
In order to seize the battle merits, Sadotu marched extremely quickly, and the army rushed for dozens of miles overnight, and arrived at the outskirts of Longren Mansion at noon the next day.
At this time, I was taken aback, Yongren Mansion was already in danger, tens of thousands of Goryeo troops surrounded Yongren Mansion, ready to attack at any time, at this time, there were constantly Goryeo people with weapons coming to gather, I don't know where to get out, anyway, many of their soldiers are no different from peasants, Sadotu can't tell the difference at all.
After listening to the scout's report, one of his generals asked, "General?" How to fight? ”
Sadotu was disdainful of the Goryeo army and said, "Send the order down, the army will rest for half an hour, and we will go into the city!" ”
After all, the continuous rapid march for one day and one night could not support the iron beating, but the Qing army only rested for half an hour, which can be said to be quite strong.
The enemy had apparently paid attention to this reinforcement, and began to assemble outside the city opposite the Qing army, and the formation was inferior to Wang Jing's Imperial Forest Army, it was simply disorganized, not in shape, like a group of village husbands, and the Qing army laughed.
Sadotu did not even set up a camp, he rested under the noses of the enemy, and the Goryeo army did not dare to come and raid, but kept gathering, and by the time Sadotu was ready to march, the Goryeo people had gathered more than 5,000.
Sadotu was not afraid at all, marched with drums, and the Qing army marched in a neat offensive formation.
The Goryeo army is still the same old routine, first dozens of guns shelled by Langji, this time the effect is even worse, killing no more than 20 Qing soldiers, the Qing army is not afraid at all, to shoot arrows at each other, as before, the Qing army only suffered 50 or 60 casualties, and the Goryeo people suffered more than 500 injuries.
Soon began to fight in close combat, the Qing army entered the enemy formation, and the enemy was almost crushed at one touch, this time faster and more resolute than in Wangjing, resulting in the Qing army wearing heavy armor could not catch up at all, so there were not many enemies killed and wounded, and the Qing army was paying less than ten casualties, and the enemy was only killed by more than 100 people.
Sadotu laughed and ordered the pursuit, but the Qing army's forwards were heavily armoured, and after chasing for a while, they were all out of breath, and they couldn't catch up with the Koreans, who ran faster than rabbits.
This time is different from Wang Jing, the Goryeo army is the besieging party, they don't need to defend the city, they run outside the city as soon as they break down, the terrain outside the city is open, there is enough space for them to escape, unlike Wang Jing who rushed to the city in a swarm, the city gate alone blocked a lot of people, enough for the Qing army to cut down Sadotu had no choice but to order to suspend the pursuit and rest in place.
Unexpectedly, this group of Goryeo troops did not flee this time, and when they saw that the Qing army stopped pursuing, they quickly gathered back and fired artillery and arrows at the Qing army.
Sadotu was furious and hurriedly commanded the army to attack.
In this way, it was just a repetition of the battle just now, this time the number of casualties of the Goryeo army was less, I am afraid that there were only three or four hundred people, they obviously fled for their lives and escaped from experience, but the casualties of the Qing army increased, because the continuous combat of the negative armor, the physical exertion was too great, and the total casualties of the Qing army reached seventy or eighty in this round.
Once again, the Goryeo army was repulsed, the Qing army rested in place, and the fleeing soldiers of the Goryeo army began to gather again, and there was a steady stream of reinforcements to replenish it, and the earliest 5,000 people did not decrease at all after nearly 1,000 casualties.
Sadotu gradually realized that the situation was not right, the enemy was completely relying on the absolute superiority of numbers, and was consuming the living strength of the Qing army, and the Qing army suffered more than 100 casualties after two rounds of attacks.
Despite this, when the Goryeo army stepped forward to provoke again, Sadotu could not hold back the anger in his heart and continued to lead the army to attack.
This time, the Qing army attacked with all its might, and the effect was also good, killing nearly 600 Goryeo troops, but its own casualties also increased, with nearly 100 casualties, and now there are no more than 700 soldiers who can fight.
"General, you can't fight like this anymore, the brothers are too tired!"
One of his generals persuaded, and Sadotu looked at the unruly Goryeo army in the distance, gritted his teeth angrily, and scolded: "A group of rabble, fighting like this is simply a scoundrel, if it weren't for the fact that General Ben didn't bring horses with him this time to Goryeo, you people wouldn't want to run alone." ”
This is also the helplessness of the Qing army, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry has no horses, and its power is naturally greatly reduced, and it is impossible to pursue and kill the enemy's rout, and there is no way to deal with the scoundrel fighting style of the Goryeo people in front of him.
At this point in the battle, it was getting dark, and Sadotu could only order the troops to retreat, and the whole army went into the city to rest.
The Goryeo army still wanted to follow the attack, but they didn't expect the Qing army to retreat in an orderly manner, and the formation was not chaotic at all, and the Goryeo people did not take advantage, but were killed and wounded by the heavy arrows of the soldiers after the Manchu Qing Dynasty broke off.
Lin Fatzi, who was defending the city, was very insidious, standing at the head of the city and watching Sadotu fight with the Goryeo people outside the city, but he did not send a single soldier to help, and waited until the Qing army collected his troops and personally led people to open the city to greet him.
With a smile on his face, he waited for Sadotu and said, "The general has worked hard, our army has prepared wine and meat for you to celebrate the general's victory." ”
Sadotu smiled bitterly, killed nearly 2,000 enemies, and suffered 300 casualties, which is also a big victory, but these are the elites of the Eight Banners, and it is very painful to die in ordinary times, last time in Wangjing, he lost more than 400 people, and now he has lost 300, and the 2,000 people brought by the Qing army are now only about 1,300 people.
"These Goryeo sticks are really hateful, they can't be killed, and when they rest for the night, the Japanese generals will definitely catch their main general!"
Sadotu scolded.
Lin Fatzi smiled and said: "That is, the general is mighty, and he will definitely win a big victory tomorrow, I don't know what happened to King Xing, when will the main force come?" ”
Lin Fatzi didn't believe in Sadotu's nonsense at all, he had been observing the besieging Goryeo people for some time, these people were all rabble, even the main general was dressed like a peasant, and in the army, there was no way to find the location of the main general, let alone capture the other party's main general.
Sadotu knew that he was fooling himself, and replied honestly: "King Xing brought Li Zongxiao'er's holy position, as well as his 10,000 imperial forest troops to help, those imperial forest troops are all rabble, it is estimated that they will not arrive so soon, at least the day after tomorrow." ”
Lin Fatzi was overjoyed in his heart, and sure enough, King Xing was still smart, and knew that the Goryeo people were subdued by the Koreans, although these people were a rabble, it was easy to defeat them, but the number of coalition troops was too small, and sooner or later they would be exhausted, and the situation would be dangerous at that time.
Lin Fatzi prepared a luxurious version of the banquet for Sadotu, and also spent money to invite more than ten red cards from Qinglou in the city to accompany him, Daxing Army has rules, he doesn't dare to rob the people's women, even if it is a Qinglou woman, it is also hired at the market price.
The Qinglou woman really knows how to coax men to be happy, Saduotu and other Qing generals are very satisfied, and they call them brothers and sisters at the banquet, Lin Fatzi's series of sycophants coaxed Sadotu to be dizzy, and he felt that he was invincible in the world, in fact, he just wanted to encourage Sadotu to continue to fight out of the city tomorrow, so that he could be safe until the arrival of King Xing.
……
The next day, Wang Jing and Yang Xin led the coalition army to march to Longren Mansion.
Now, Yang Xin left the main force of 1,000 people in the palace, and there were only 100 guards left around him, and more than 500 Qing troops in the hands of Jia Aobai, and the rescue army mainly relied on Jin Shengnan's holy decree and 10,000 imperial forest troops.
Fortunately, he negotiated the terms of trade with Jin Guifei last night, at this time Jin Shengnan had obviously received the news from Jin Guifei, and he became more cordial to Yang Xin, he also thought that Yang Xin had cooked rice into gruel with his daughter last night, with this relationship, it was naturally more helpful to his status in Goryeo, at this time, the two walked together.
Not long after the army set off, Yang Xin received a good news from Longren Mansion.
"King Baoxing, Sadotu's vanguard arrived at Longren Mansion yesterday afternoon, fought fiercely with the enemy army outside the city for an afternoon, and beheaded more than 2,000 people, but the enemy still kept coming with reinforcements and did not retreat."
Yang Xin was stunned for a moment, the result of this battle was a bit unexpected, he thought that he didn't have to make his own move, Sadotu would be able to repel the enemy, he only needed to go over and deal with the aftermath, but he didn't expect the enemy's losses to be so serious, he actually fought to the death and did not retreat, and he was still increasing his troops.
He was very puzzled, so he asked Jin Shengnan on the side, "Elder Jin Ge, how many people do you have in the Ping'an Dao Water Division, and why do you still have reinforcements?" ”
To Yang Xin's surprise, Jin Shengnan was even more confused than him, and said: "This old man doesn't understand either, Li Chengxiu, the guerrilla general of the Ping'an Dao Water Division, only has 3,000 people in his hands, and I don't know where he got so many people." ”
Yang Xin smiled bitterly: "You are the head of the cabinet above 10,000 people under Gao Li, and you don't know how many soldiers and horses you have?" ”
Jin Shengnan's face was full of embarrassment, and said: "This Xingwang is wrong to blame the old man, the water master has always been in the hands of my king's Li family, they have always done their own thing, and they don't take the old man in their eyes, this time with the holy decree of my king, just clean them up." ”
Yang Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "They won't even listen to Li Zong's holy decree, right?" ”
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Yang Xin had a bad premonition, and asked tentatively.
Jin Shengnan smiled and said: "King Xing, please rest assured, my king is the patriarch of the Li family, if you don't listen to the holy decree, it is equivalent to rebellion, I believe that Li Chengxiu will not dare to risk the disapproval of the world." ”
Yang Xin sneered and said: "Jin Lao is still careful, you might as well send someone to all parts of Goryeo to inquire if there is any trouble, if someone rebels and takes the throne of Li Zong, your Jin family is afraid that it will also suffer." ”
Jin Shengnan didn't care, he didn't believe that there were still people in the Li family who wanted to be inside, but it was a matter of his own power, so he had to be cautious, and hurriedly summoned a guard, and whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard led people to gallop away.
Jin Shengnan smiled at this time: "King Xing, the old man has already sent someone, this time you should rest assured, let's continue to talk about the details of trade." ”
This is the problem that Jin Shengnan is most concerned about, if the Qing Dynasty can take the Southern Ming, then the trade with China in the future is the Qing Dynasty, and they can cooperate with King Xing, and from then on their Jin family can monopolize the trade between Goryeo and China, this benefit is so great that he can't help but be unmoved.
In Jin Shengnan's eyes, Yang Xin can form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty, and after the Qing Dynasty dominates the world, Daxing will naturally submit to the Qing Dynasty, and if he reaches a trade agreement with Yang Xin, he will form a trading partner with the Qing Dynasty.
Yang Xin happened to be a fox and a fake tiger, and he was willing to accept it, and the two hit it off.
When the coalition army arrived in Yongin Province, everyone was shocked that the fierceness of the battle was unexpected, and in just one day, the corpses of more than 3,000 Goryeo troops were left outside Yongin Province.
The Qing army defending the city also killed more than 400 people, leaving less than 300 people, and has completely lost the ability to take the initiative to attack, while the Daxing army led by Lin Fatzi was uninjured, he did not send a single soldier at all, just guarded the city to watch the battle.
The besieging Goryeo army did not stop attacking until the arrival of the coalition forces, and the army was able to enter the city without any problems.
Shuai Ying, Ao Bai was furious, pointed at Lin Fatzi's nose and scolded, "My Eight Banners Army suffered seven hundred casualties, and you actually sat idly by and ignored it, unharmed, it is really a wolf's heart and dog lungs, in vain I Daqing desperately came to the rescue!" ”
Lin Fatzi smiled with a smile on his face and said: "The general is angry, it's not that we sit back and watch, it's really the Eight Banners Army is too strong, General Sadotu led seven hundred people out of the city, and then he entered the camp of 10,000 enemies, seven in and seven out, just like Zhao Zilong of the Three Kingdoms, no one can stop him, killing more than 3,000 enemies, such a melee fight, my Daxing army can't help at all." ”
Ao Bai was sour by his sycophants, after all, with only a few hundred people to kill 10,000 enemies, and 3,000 enemies can be killed and retreat calmly, this kind of record is enough to be proud of the world, and Dolgon has nothing to say.
It's just that so many people have died, and it really hurts in my heart, and of the 2,000 elite soldiers who came over, there are only more than 800 people left, and the Daxing Army has more than 1,700 people in addition to the more than 200 casualties in the fishing village.
Yang Xin secretly gave Lin Fatzi a thumbs up, this person really has a set, he actually coaxed Sadotu to go out of the city to fight, but he didn't have to worry about it.
At this time, Yang Xin had to come out and say: "Aobai, the elite of the Eight Banners Army is also admired by this king, your proud record in Goryeo, this king will report to the regent after he goes back, now our two families should not hurt the harmony." ”
What else can Ao Bai say, at this time, he can only slap Zhong's face and become fat, and retreat to the side.
Everyone could only wait anxiously in the camp of Shuai, and Choi Kyung-moon, the secretary of the military department of Goryeo, had already gone to look for Lee Sung-so in the besieging Goryeo army with a holy decree.
And Li Chengxiu was also a little at a loss at the moment, he was afraid that the Qing army would find his handsome camp, so he didn't display the handsome flag at all, and even wore clothes like ordinary soldiers.
At this moment, the so-called marshal camp is just a slope behind a mound of dirt outside the city, and the generals and personal soldiers around him are also equipped with the same equipment, and they look no different from ordinary soldiers.
"General, Master Cui came here with a holy decree and asked us to withdraw from the army, what should we do now?"
A general said.
"Uncle Cousin, you must not withdraw from the army at this moment, otherwise what will my sister do?"
A strong man stood up and said eagerly, it was the leader of the more than ten people who came out of Longren Mansion that day.
Li Chengxiu was also anxious, and said: "What can you do if you don't retreat from the army, haven't you seen that even the Imperial Forest Army is coming, can we still resist the order?" ”
At this time, a fat man waved his hand leisurely, squinted his eyes and said: "General, you must not withdraw from the army at this time, otherwise there will be a big disaster, and the general's head will not be guaranteed!" ”
Li Chengxiu was startled by him, and hurriedly asked: "Military advisor, what do you mean by this?" ”
The fat man smiled and said: "General don't worry, Longren bloody battle, we killed so many people in the Qing army, once the army retreated, the king in order to please the Qing army, he will definitely offer the general's head to the Qing army, not to mention that the general is a mere guerrilla general, only 3,000 soldiers, but gathered nearly 20,000 troops, the king will inevitably kill the general with jealousy." ”
Li Chengxiu's face suddenly turned white with fright, and said: "These people were not invited by General Ben, they voluntarily came to assist General Ben in besieging the city, what does it matter to me?" ”
The fat man laughed and said: "The king doesn't think so, he only thinks that the general has a different heart, and he is secretly recruiting troops and horses, and wants to usurp the throne and seize power." ”
Li Chengxiu sat on the ground in fright, his legs were weak, and said, "The military advisor saved me, what should I do at this time?" ”
