The actions of the [-] troops are intricate and complicated.

But there is not much time left for Dorgon and Hauge.

Their current position is too far away from the northern line, and every moment of delay increases the risk of being intercepted.

"Prince Yu and Wu Keshan should lead the cavalry to set off first, and make arrangements along the way to open the way for the army."

Dorgon quickly proposed a solution.

But when Hauge heard that Duduo was actually allowed to run first, he was a little reluctant.Just as he was about to object, he received a signal from Fan Ji to stop him.

Although I didn't understand the reason, I still held back.

Dorgon had been prepared for Hauge's opposition, and dug a big hole for Hauge.

Seeing that Hauge didn't say a word, he was quite surprised, and at the same time he became more and more wary of this nephew.

"An order was sent to Tulai and Nikan to leave the North Korean army in the maze, and quickly go to Xian'an County, and retreat after the army passes through."

Ham'an County is located on the south bank of the Nakdong River running from east to west. Controlling this place will ensure that the road leading north to Daegu will be safe.

And this road will be the most important retreat for the Qing coalition forces.

Seeing the strength of the Xia Kingdom's navy, Dorgon did not dare to lead his army to retreat along the east coast.If Xia Guo's navy snatched him ahead and blocked his way, he would really die without a place to die.

According to his arrangement, although the Qing army fled, the Jeolla-do Korean army led by Li Shifang might become cannon fodder.

But at the moment of life and death, Dorgon didn't care how many North Koreans died.

Preserving the vitality of Manqing is the most important thing.

Until then, he looked at Hauge.

"Prince Su, after this king arrives with his army, you should retreat first. But remember to prepare food, supplies and sufficient troops along the way, and at the same time, the marching speed should not be too fast, so as not to lose touch with the front and back."

Seeing that Dorgon let him go first, Hauge was quite surprised. He didn't understand when he was so kind?

How did he know that Dorgon, as the commander of this battle, naturally had to take full responsibility.

If Hauge was left behind and ran away first, Huang Taiji would have a haircut immediately.

Today's Dorgon finally felt the aggrievedness of Amin and Mang Gurtai.

The former four Baylors have become history, and Huang Taiji is the only one.Anyone who threatened him became a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

Nowadays, in the Qing Dynasty, apart from Huang Taiji, the most powerful people are the two white flags of the Dorgon brothers.

Apparently Huang Taiji has been secretly planning how to cut off the authority of the Dorgon brothers.

Dorgon had no other choice but to be cautious and not leave any handles behind.

He knows that compared with Huang Taiji, the only advantage he has is his youth.

As long as it is consumed, there is hope for a comeback.

However, his actions made Hauge more reasonable.

"I will leave three granaries between Daegu and Guiwei, so that you can retreat without worry."

For the transfer of [-] troops, the most important things are food and grass, and drinking water.

Therefore, there are not many routes that the Qing coalition forces can choose.

They can only go all the way north along the Nakdong River, so that they can have water anytime and anywhere.

The two coaches reached an agreement, and the order was sent to the entire army immediately.

The North Koreans quickly noticed the anomaly.

Cui Mingji and Li Shibai joined hands to find him.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui, there are rumors in the army that the army intends to return to the north. Is there any truth to this?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Dorgon no longer needs to hide it.

"Xia's army captured Incheon and Gimpo, and is approaching Hanyang. If our army does not retreat, we will die. You also go back and pack your bags quickly without delay."

Hearing the situation, Cui Mingji was struck by lightning.

He suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed to Dorgon.

"Your Highness, if the army withdraws at this time, won't it cause the loss of half of our country in North Korea? Obviously Busan is right in front of us, why don't we try our best to attack it? As long as the rebellion and Xia army in Busan are eliminated, why worry about the danger on the northern front? ?”

Although Li Shibai didn't speak, his angry expression said everything.

Everything was fine originally, as long as Pusan ​​is broken, North Korea will settle down.

Who would have thought that the Qing army was about to retreat.

Facing Cui Mingji's dissuasion, Dorgon was very rude.

"The Battle of Busan has been fought for two months. Has there been any progress? North Korea has repeatedly procrastinated in terms of food and grass. It should be punished. If the Xia army cuts off the way again, you and I will die without a place to die."

Cui Mingji and Li Shibai were powerless, they could only watch the Manchu army demolish the camp and set off on their way home.

"My lord, this retreat... can I come back?"

Li Shibai looked at Jinjingshan angrily.

The Xia army's flag was still fluttering in the wind, and the defense line was impregnable, which made him very unwilling.

But the Qing army insisted on leaving, and that was not something they could stop.

Without the help of the Qing army, the North Korean army, let alone breaking through Pusan, is afraid that the entire army will be wiped out.

"The matter has come to this, the country of North Korea is completely broken!"

Cui Mingji has been in the army these days and has seen the strength of the Xia army with his own eyes.

He understands what today's retreat means.

Is North Korea really going to die?
The retreat speed of the Qing coalition forces was not very fast. After all, there were too many troops, and it was troublesome to coordinate.

But the Fourth Division didn't notice it, and still stood firm.

It wasn't that the fourth division was slacking off, but that they, as defenders, had no way to move forward, so naturally they couldn't see the changes in the enemy army.

Although the scouts and special forces in the enemy's rear discovered the movements of the Qing coalition forces, they were unable to send letters back because they were separated from the battlefield.

Therefore, the Fourth Division is still the same. Although it feels strange that the Qing coalition forces have not attacked for several days, they dare not rush in casually.

It was not until ten days after the northern line captured Gimpo that the Fourth Division received the order from the sea.

Only then did they know that the northern line had achieved great success and had begun to approach Hanyang.

In this way, the reason why the Qing coalition forces did not attack for many days cannot be guessed.

"Damn it, after so long a delay, I don't know how far Dorgon and Hauge have gone?"

With military information in his hand, Bai Xiaoqi was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Such is the case in this era.

Without more advanced communication tools, there is no way to achieve complete unity of pace between the two battlefields thousands of miles apart.

The coalition forces of the Qing Dynasty could pass by fast horses over land, and it only took three to five days for the troops on the southern front to learn about the situation and respond quickly.

On Xia Jun's side, the only way to pass information was through the fast boats at sea.

Another half of the Korean peninsula had to be bypassed, and ten days was fast enough.

"In any case, there are as many as [-] enemies. We must not be reckless in our pursuit. We must be careful, so we don't get shot back."

Along with the military situation, Liu Yiyuan, chief of the general staff, also came.

He formally took over command of the Southern Front.

It is precisely because of the inconvenient transportation on the south and north lines that after discussing with Zuo Menggeng, the Xia Dynasty coalition forces formed two command centers in the south and north.

Zuo Menggeng is in charge of the northern line, and Liu Yiyuan is in charge of the southern line.

Now Busan's offensive and defensive posture has completely changed, and the fourth division has become the offensive side.

Bai Xiaoqi, who got the news too late, was filled with anger, and decided to find a hapless ghost to perform the surgery.
