The news of the Qing army's hasty retreat in the first battle spread like wings on both sides of the Han River, and the Korean rebels who were still resisting were excited.

Why are there no North Korean officers and troops, you ask? Don't make a fuss, how can the Korean officers and soldiers have the courage to continue to stay on both sides of the Han River, they are full of fear just when they hear the sound of the hooves of the Qing cavalry, and they are eager to grow two more legs and escape here as soon as possible.

Even the hard-working Song Shilie is the same, although he has the heart to fight against the Qing army, but he does not have direct soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized are afraid to advance because of fear, so they can only watch from a distance outside Gyeonggi Province.

It was not until the envoy to the Ming Dynasty sent someone to report to him that the Ming army had arrived, and after the Ming army defeated the Qing army in the Han River Plain, Song Shilie and the Korean officers and soldiers stationed here breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had the courage to send troops and march towards Seoul.

Not only the Qinwang army led by Song Shilie, but also the officers and troops in all parts of North Korea began to mobilize after hearing the news of the Ming army's defeat of the Qing army.

At the same time, the process of this battle was not leaked by anyone, and the scene of the Ming army repelling the Qing army with rockets was exaggerated to an exaggerated degree in word of mouth.

There are two main versions of Korean folklore, the more fantastical version is that the Ming army invited the gods of the Nine Heavens to participate in the war, the gods stood on the clouds, bombarded the Qing army with thunder, and defeated the Qing army without much effort, and the Qing army commander Ao Bai, who ordered the massacre of Seoul, was split in half on the spot.

Although the other version is biased towards the facts, it is also a bit exaggerated - the Ming army used the newly developed Shenji arrow in this battle, the magic machine arrow is terrifying, once launched, it will erode for thousands of miles, the Qing army was all buried in the sea of fire under the bombardment of the Shenji arrow, and the vicious Ao Bai, who only eats baby meat, was directly burned into charcoal, and only a small number of Qing troops escaped.

Well...... From these two versions of the rumors, it can be seen how much the North Koreans hated Aobai, who ordered the slaughter of the city.

In short, the Koreans can be regarded as having found the backbone, and in their opinion, as long as the Ming Dynasty Celestial Army arrives, the Hulu who invaded the territory will definitely be defeated like the Japanese in the Imjin Rebellion fifty or sixty years ago.

Some literati doctors who admired the Ming Dynasty very much even directly said that the Ming Dynasty was the state of North Korea's parents, and that there was a second reinvention in North Korea, and this kindness would never be reciprocated.

Regardless of North Korea's reaction, in the Han River Plain, after the Ming army defeated the Qing army without much effort, they simply cleaned up the battlefield, dug a pit for the charred corpses left by the Qing army to bury them, and then prepared to continue their advance towards Seoul.

It is worth mentioning that although the dozens of guns abandoned by the Qing army were nailed to the fuse, they themselves could still be reused, and Su Fu asked people to pull those cannons back to the shore and transport them to the warship to wait for them to be re-smelted later.

The Qing army retreated all the way from the battlefield to the camp outside the city of Namhansan, with only a brief pause in the middle to rest, and until they returned to the camp, the Qing soldiers were still apprehensive, as if as long as they closed their eyes, they would see the tragic situation of those comrades who died directly under the rockets. Along the way, many of the soldiers who did not die on the spot, but were wounded of varying severity, died because they were not treated in time, and their bodies were brought back and buried in a good place outside the camp.

The soldiers who remained in the camp looked at them in amazement, as if they didn't understand why they were so embarrassed.

The remaining Gushan Ezhen Yechen took the initiative to find Aobai who was still covered with dust on his face, he looked at Aobai in confusion and asked: "General, isn't there only less than 5,000 people in the Ming army, why did the army become so embarrassed?" ”

Ao Bai obviously didn't want to answer this question, but he couldn't refuse to answer, he let out a long sigh, and told Ye Chen about the process of that battle, and in Ye Chen's shocked gaze, he said slowly:

"The Ming army has sharp firearms, which is invincible to our army, and our army has lost dozens of Hongyi cannons in this battle, and the firepower is even weaker, in order to avoid our Qing soldiers from continuing to suffer more casualties, I want to lift the siege of Nanhan Mountain City and withdraw to the north."

"Lift the siege? Isn't this a waste of the gains of the past few months? Ye Chen couldn't accept it, and he raised an objection.

"After this battle, the Koreans will definitely be responded to by the Ming army and attack our army in groups, although the Koreans are weak and vulnerable, but this is their homeland, if they cut off the supply line of our army and let our army fall into it, it will not only be the results of these months that will be wasted." Ao Bai said in a serious tone.

Ao Bai was indeed afraid, the overwhelming explosion of the rocket left a great psychological wound in his heart, if it wasn't for his fate, or if the rocket was extremely poor and didn't fall near him and explode, then maybe he might not be able to stand here and debate with Ye Chen.

Therefore, Ao Bai tried his best to evacuate from Gyeonggi Province, and he was keenly aware that the Koreans must have begun to mobilize troops and horses, and rushed to this side under the encouragement of the Ming army.

Regardless of the opposition of Na Yechen and other generals, Ao Bai forcibly ordered the whole army to pack up their baggage and withdraw north.

Before retreating north, he personally wrote a Manchu letter, ordering the horse to be sent back to Shengjing to report to the court about the predicament he was facing at the moment - of course, in order not to let the court think that he was incompetent, he deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Ming army several times, claiming that the Ming army sent 20,000 troops to aid the court, although he tried his best to resist, but he was outnumbered and could only retreat north.

Well...... He thought that he had learned badly from those cunning Han officials, and if he hadn't been led astray by those people, how could he, a loyal and honest Manchurian warrior, have learned to shake the pot and exaggerate.

In any case, at the insistence of Aobai, the Qing army quickly packed up its baggage, loaded the remaining Hongyi cannons and the rest of the artillery in the camp into the carriage, and slowly headed north under the puzzled gaze of the Korean officers and soldiers on the mountain fortress of Namhan.

In the city of Nanhansan, the Korean officials and soldiers watched the Qing army begin to retreat north, and the monarchs, ministers, soldiers and civilians in the city couldn't help but cheer and endured several months of siege.

"Heaven forbid, the Tartars have finally withdrawn!"

Under the impact of the huge surprise, Li Hao disregarded his image and burst into tears on the spot, and the ministers and attendants around him couldn't help wiping their tears, but the soldier Cao Jushu (similar to the military department book) still retained his senses, and he asked Li Hao to send scouts to find out the reason for the sudden retreat of the Qing army to the north, and prevent this from being a ploy set up by the Qing army in order to lure them out of the city.

However, after the scouts were sent out, the ministers in the city deduced that it was very likely that reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty had arrived, otherwise how could the Qing army suddenly withdraw? Even if it wasn't the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, it was the army of a certain King of Luqin.
