Chapter 290: The Key to the Eagle Division

The way to use force is to fight directly, but the steps are divided into two parts, the first part is that Xiao Ming ordered Yelusha's leopard division and Ma Haishu's wolf division to send troops from the north to Sinuiju, and attack towards Hamhung North Road, completely blocking the back road of the Jurchens!

In the second stage, Han Yanwen's Eagle Division and Ma Haishu's two regiments went north to Jeonju and Tokyo Province to encircle the Jurchen Corps there, and when recovering all the state capitals, pay attention to retaining prisoners of war, which is a two-sided tactic of attack, advancing according to the existing north according to the plan, and then the south.

The geographical situation on the Korean Peninsula left the Jurchens with no strategic space to move, and when they heard that Xiao Ming's army had begun to move, they all retreated to a few important cities.

The Jurchens really made Xiao Ming feel at ease, if they broke into pieces and hid their army in the hills, ravines and mountains of Goryeo, Xiao Ming would need to spend a lot of effort to deal with them, but now that they are in a group, then it will save Xiao Ming a lot of effort.

In the north, after blockading North Hamhung Province, the Yelu Sha Department began to attack southward, and soon occupied all the land of North Pyongan Province, while in the south, after the armies of Ma Haishu and Han Yanwen occupied Jeonju, they outflanked the Jurchen to the east, preparing to surround more than 100,000 Jurchen people near Daegu.

But for the Jurchens with horses, Xiao Ming's army was almost all infantry, and they calmly fled and retreated north, so Xiao Ming had to order Han Yanwen and them to also carry out an attack to the north, and soon they advanced to the south of the Han River to the city of Gongzhou.

The Jurchens have 50,000 cavalry horses in Gongzhou, and since the beginning of the war, the Jurchen cavalry has gone all the way south, and the Goryeo army cannot resist at all, but since Xiao Ming entered the war, the Jurchens have not dared to fight with Xiao Ming and retreat again and again, and now they will retreat to Seoul!

So they were also brewing a counterattack, and Fusan Zhongyi put all his elite troops in the Taibai Mountain area south of the Han River, preparing to rely on the Jurchen cavalry to carry out a roundabout outflanking to attack the rear of Xiao Ming's South Road Corps, and since Han Yanwen and Ma Haishu led the army with limited supplies, this was indeed a big threat.

So this perfect raid directly became a threat to the rear of Han Yanwen's Eagle Division, the two regiments of the Eagle Division were on the rear flank of the entire team, and they were directly surrounded by the opposing cavalry in a hurry, but the commanders of these two regiments were not panicked, they organized personnel to defend the position, and sent people to inform Han Yanwen in front.

The Jurchen warriors surrounded at least 2,000 troops this time, but seeing that the other party was not nervous, they were enraged, and more than 30,000 people were at least lined up in a charge formation, and they were almost ready to let 10,000 cavalry charge!

The horse's hooves were scraping the ground, snorting in their noses, as if they were a little impatient, the Jurchen warriors were holding long knives and maces on their sides, and their expressions were serious, this battle was very critical, whether they could break the myth of Xiao Ming's undefeated, it was in this battle, but for the army of more than 2,000 people in the encirclement, they felt that sending 10,000 people to charge would be a sure battle.

But before the battle began, a strange "Buzz!" suddenly came from above the heads of the Jurchen warriors. They looked up and noticed that some large birds had suddenly appeared overhead! It was indeed a big bird, with a lot of heads and wings, but the only difference was that the bird's wings did not flap, but only kept circling.

After circling they began to dive, and the dark shadows between them grew bigger and bigger, and the Jurchens realized that these big birds were really extraordinary, they were almost two people long, and there were people sitting on them, and passengers with strange hats and huge eyes were on the back of the birds!

The dive continued, and at a height of more than three meters above the Jurchens' heads, the big birds violently pulled up and rose away, but as it left, a round grunting iron lump was thrown down with smoke! And the next one became a nightmare for the Jurchens, and the iron lump exploded suddenly!

The big birds kept diving, at least two dozen of them, and there were also iron bumps that were thrown down, and the explosion was like a thunderstorm, and the smoke rose one after another, and piles of men and horses were killed and frightened, and the team was finally in chaos, and they had not yet completed the preparations before the charge.

What defeated them was the crazy fear of those big birds, and the two were the key to why the Eagle Master was called the Eagle Master, these big birds were enlarged versions of the flying kites, since Xiao Ming's request to expand the words, the Mo craftsmen have improved and created this magical mechanism technique countless times!

If the big flying kite can take off, but not very far, if you still have to take people, then it can almost only fly to a very close distance, in order to select the crew, those small people who are light and healthy have been selected, and they have been trained in Weihai base for I don't know how many times before equipping the Eagle Division.

However, such an "air force" was used by Xiao Ming to defend the port, but Han Yanwen still asked to bring twenty of them in a big car! After receiving the news that the rear wing was surrounded, he immediately dispatched this special "Big Bird Air Force!" ”

What no one expected was that the results he achieved turned out to be like this, more than 30,000 Jurchen cavalry retreated on all fronts, not because they were defeated by courage, but in the face of the blow that fell from the sky, no one's nerves could bear it, they fled, and they fled before they could contact the rear wing of others!

But those big birds were unwilling to let them go, following the escape route of the Jurchens, chasing all the way and constantly throwing down grenades, this kind of aerial bombardment until all the 30,000 troops were blown up, scattered and fled, and then swung their tails and left, because the time of the big flying kite was in the air and the time of a meal, the intensity of this attack was enough.

So the rest of the battle was much easier. The defenders of Gongju were scattered after the first bombardment, and the attack on the northern route was also unusually smooth, Yerusha scooped Pyongyang in three days, and now the city that the Jurchens could hold was Seoul, so the northern and southern guards began to advance towards Seoul.

The Jurchen army he cobbled together throughout Goryeo was not Xiao Ming's opponent at all, and although the Jurchen tribe could mobilize tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time, these belonged to different tribes after all, and there were contradictions between them, and in the case of an unfavorable attack, it was like a plate of scattered sand.

The new slave owners and Jurchen nobles who were still under the fierce security system of the original Jin State could wantonly plunder and forcibly occupy land in the Goryeo Kingdom, because the foundation of the entire Goryeo Kingdom had rotten, and when they encountered Xiao Ming, who had strong force, the brave Jurchen warriors would be killed if they did not admit defeat!

But this warlike nature of the Jurchen people still made them very united, and he gathered all his troops in Seoul, ready to fight Xiao Ming to the death, Xiao Ming knew that this was nothing more than an act of praying for a chariot, and he didn't care about the unity of those Jurchen nobles, and he put all the large areas of land he had just conquered under a special military management.

Due to the Jurchens being driven away, a large area of Goryeo land was finally liberated, so the Goryeo people gathered in Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province also moved north one after another, which was a problem that Xiao Ming could not ignore and so on, so he ordered the division of military districts and blockaded all Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province to prevent the people of Goryeo from returning.

Many people don't understand why Xiao Ming is like this, Xiao Ming told everyone, that is, he still needs at least 200,000 laborers to solve the projects in various places, but a large number of Koreans he plans to move all to Taiwan Island, that is, to stay on the island for land development, but at this stage, he can't immigrate from Liangzhejiang Road and Fujian, and whose idea is it if he doesn't fight the idea of the Koreans?

If Ding Jianpeng heard Xiao Ming's words, he would definitely think that Xiao Ming's plan was too "insidious!" He was carrying out a systematic ethnic division, wanting to assimilate the entire Goryeo nation by relying on the strong assimilation power of the Han nation, which was purely in preparation for his great migration plan.

As a result, a large number of Goryeo people were still being pulled away by Xiao Ming's big ship, and the Goryeo people gathered in Gyeongsang and Jeolla provinces were also gradually decreasing, and at the same time, the armies of the Northern Route Army Yelusha and the Southern Route Army Han Yanwen and Ma Haishu finally converged in Seoul, and the army gathered under the city of Seoul to prepare for the final blow against the Jurchens.

Of course, the Jurchens would not sit idly by, and they scattered his cavalry troops into a dozen or twenty small units, constantly invading the camps of the entire Guards, and ambushing the necessary way to transport supplies to the army, preparing to attack the Guards' grain and grass.

But this attempt was completely futile, and the Guards paid great attention to the training of the army camp, how to use the vehicles accompanying the army to form a defensive circle, and how to purchase the first trench, that is, every soldier had to dig desperately when he set up camp, and use the special military shovel of the Taiping that he carried with him.

The requirements for the supply of the guards are almost the same as those for the marching camp, the convoy can be moved inward at the first time, and then with the help of the formation of a defensive ring to block the enemy's charge, because the number of artillery guns at the level of each company and battalion is quite large, and these are standard weapons, so generally under the blows of mortars and grenades, there are very few people who can survive to shoot at people's dense rifles.

Although the cavalry harassment of the squad can achieve some results, it is simply suicide relative to any time, so it becomes the inevitable choice of the Jurchens to abandon the resistance of Seoul and enter the Taebai Mountains.

The Goryeo villages and towns around Seoul have basically been swept by the Jurchens many times, a large number of Goryeo people have taken refuge in the mountains and cannot escape, but they still slaughtered the Goryeo people in Seoul, a large number of dead corpses are piled up under the city, the smell of rancid people is disgusting, Xiao Ming's army besieged the city, the Jurchens could not escape, and after a long time, they were bound to lose because of a large area of plague.

The besieging guards began to dig ditches everywhere and used a lot of lime, and a lot of plant ash was used in the barracks, mainly to prevent infection, and they continued to increase their troops, and Jerusha, who had continued south from the capital abandoned by the Jurchens in Kaesong in the north, had brought all his leopard divisions to Seoul.

They finally decided to break through desperately, it was very simple for more than 100,000 people to break through the siege of more than 30,000 people, but it was too late to break through until now, the entire Seoul had been surrounded by several vertical and horizontal trenches on the north, east and south, and the Han River in the west, it was so difficult to quickly rush through these three trenches by cavalry.

The Jurchens began to burn the city, and then took advantage of the chaos to break through desperately, because there were already signs of plague in the city, and the Jurchens began to break through from the northeast and the south, because they knew that the defense in the south was the strongest, but it did not mean that the defense on the northeast side was not strong.

It was precisely the artillery used by the besieging troops on the northeast side, while the south side was mainly staffed, and the heavy artillery fire was blown into a wall of fire, forcing the Jurchens to no longer dare to charge outward, and on the southern position, the Jurchens finally ran away after paying heavy casualties.

The Jurchens, who were forced back to Seoul, finally despaired, and they all surrendered the day after the unsuccessful breakout!
