Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Facing the sudden warning ahead, Hanyang (Seoul) was nervous but not afraid. This is because the current South Korean Yijing is no longer the meek country that has repeatedly fought and failed.In recent years, South Korea has spent a lot of money to strengthen its army. Relying on Huaxia's arms sales and the guidance of military advisers, Yijing has initially established a professional standing army.Although the firearms troops require a lot of training and spend a lot of money, and the overall proportion is less than [-]% of the whole army. It is far from being comparable to the Xia army or even the new Eight Banners army of the Qing army, but at least they have the strength to fight against the Qing army.

It is precisely based on this confidence that the South Korean side immediately mobilized troops and horses, determined to fight the Qing army at the foot of Kaesong." "The chapter of the novel is updated the fastest.

Before the war, the main force of the South Korean army was concentrated on the front line of Gyeonggi-do and Hwanghae-do except for the 6000 Gangwon-do defenders.Among them, 1 people were in the confrontation between the three counties of Zaining, Xinchuan, and Anyak in Huanghai Province and the 8000 North Korean troops separated from Zai Ningjiang; [-] people were guarding Hanyang City; the remaining [-] people were distributed in Kaijing, Guangzhou, and Yangzhou. , Paju, Yeoju, Cheongju, Gongju, Jinju and other places.Because the distribution area is too wide, it is difficult to concentrate for a while.

For this reason, Hanyang first dispatched [-] Hanyang defenders and [-] defenders from Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Paju, Lizhou, etc. to Kaesong to join the [-] defenders in the city. fighting.

Of course, there was a police situation in Kaesong, and South Korea also notified the Chinese messenger stationed in North Korea.However, out of concern that Huaxia would use this to take command of the South Korean Army, it was also out of dissatisfaction with the outpost of the Xia Army's naval division stationed in Nanpu, Meiyou First Shijian, who notified the Qing army's movements, and it was believed that the symbolic significance of Huaxia's power in North Korea was greater than that of the Qing army. In fact, because it was not enough to participate in the war, South Korea did not ask Huaxia to send troops to cooperate in the battle.

In the fourth year of Wucheng in Huaxia and the ninth day of April in the 42nd year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, the battle of Kaifeng between the dynasty and Qing Dynasty started.

In this service, the Qing army participated in the battle with [-] troops, [-] North Korean troops cooperated with the Qing army, and more than [-] South Korean troops fought against it.In terms of numbers, the Qing army has a certain advantage, but the North Korean army is mostly an auxiliary army without armor, and it is okay to do chores such as transporting food and fodder and guarding the camp. In addition to the archery team of more than [-] people during the war In addition to playing some auxiliary functions, basically they can only wave the flag and shout on one side to gain momentum.

Although the Qing army did not have any advantage after 2000% or 300% of its military strength, but fortunately, the Qing army has obvious advantages in other aspects, such as artillery and cavalry.When the Qing army's foreign firearms battalion entered the court, it brought a total of ten heavy general Wucheng Yonggu cannons, all of which were used in this battle; thirty light general Shenwei cannons, twenty of which were used in this battle; while the South Korean army only had Xia Jun's standard [-]-inch artillery was twenty, not only far inferior to the opponent's General Wucheng Yonggu's artillery, but also inferior in power.As for the cavalry, the gap between the two sides is even greater. The old army of the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Army had a cavalry force of [-] people, while the South Korean Army can be said to be miserable in this regard.

There is no distinction between the two armies in terms of military organization.

The foreign firearms battalion of the Qing army was organized into a large artillery battalion and a small artillery battalion; the Eight Banners new army was organized into two 500-man bird gun assistant leaders; Each Zuo led about [-] vests and [-] infantry; the new camp of [-] green battalions was divided into three guerrilla battalions with a size of [-] people. Unarmored archers and two hundred armored sword and shield soldiers.

The South Korean Army is divided into four levels: battalion, army, team, and even.Among them, there are ninety-nine people, the head of which is the other general of the ninth rank; five as a team, the team officer is the correct school of the seventh rank, and there are also a standard bearer and a trumpeter at the first level of the team, and the whole team has 48 people; Ten teams are organized into an army, the military system is to lead from the fourth rank, and at the first level of the army, there are one staff officer, one supervising officer, one promotion officer, one training officer, two standard bearers, one drummer and one gong player each. There are one guard and two firemen, a total of 500 people; ten armies are organized into a battalion, and the battalion commander is a general of the first rank. Because the South Korean military units participating in the war came from different garrisons and different battalion heads, the envoys and other officials became the basic combat unit in this battle.

At the beginning of the hour, the Qing army took the lead in bombarding the South Korean army's front line, and the flying solid bullets punched miserable holes in the very densely arranged Korean army formation.Facing the fiery firepower of the Qing army, the South Korean army was not to be outdone, and used two-inch artillery to fight back. Unfortunately, due to the long distance between the two sides, the shooting effect of the two-inch artillery was similar to that of the Qing army's light general Shenwei cannon. There are only a few unlucky ones who are knocked to the ground by the jumping shells at the extreme distance.

The Qing army shelled for about half an hour. Seeing that the South Korean army was loose, they attacked decisively. The new battalion of the [-] green battalion cooperated with the infantry of the old army of the [-] Banners and brought more than [-] North Korean archers slowly to the south. The North Korean army was advancing, and the vests of the old army of the [-] Banners were divided into two teams and approached from both wings.The South Korean army then concentrated artillery fire on the enemy in the center, and at the same time, mobilized riflemen to the two wings to prevent the impact of the Qing cavalry.

Due to the overheating of the gun barrel caused by the previous shelling, it is unclear how long the South Korean army's shelling of the enemy on the center line can last. The Qing army quickly approached the South Korean army's array.Following an order, nearly [-] musketeers in the new camp of the Green Camp of the Qing Army fired a relatively neat row of bullets, and immediately knocked down nearly a hundred vanguard soldiers of the South Korean Army.

After the gunners of the Qing army finished shooting, they started to load on the spot. At this time, the archers of the Qing army and the North Korean army began to shoot arrows at the opposite side.The bows and arrows falling like raindrops once again caused a lot of blood loss to the South Korean army.If it were changed to before, the South Korean army’s yijing collapsed, but at this moment they are fighting back steadily with their bows, but most of the Qing army is armored, so they only attack the Qing army’s musketeers, Qing army archers and North Korean army who are loading. The unarmored soldiers caused some damage.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the opponent's bows and arrows could not cause damage to Ziji, the infantry of the Eight Banners old army and the sword shield guards and spearmen of the new green battalion rushed into the camp of the South Korean army, and fought with the armored soldiers on the opposite side. .Cotton armor, leather armor, and Zhajia are against wart armor and fish scale armor. It is impossible to say which armor has the higher defense power. The death conditions were all kinds of strange. Some had their heads cut off directly, some were violently broken through their defenses and finally stabbed into their stomachs with several long spears, and some appeared innocent but were shocked to death by heavy weapons. Those who are too many to fall to the ground in the end cannot be considered as one

Seeing that the front was anxious, and the casualties on both sides were not small, the Eight Banners cavalry on the two wings began to move.The rumbling horse's hooves hit the ground, not only the vibration of the ground, but also the acceleration of the enemy's heartbeat.However, the musketeers blocked by the South Korean army still fired the first bullet. Although the killing effect is impossible to calculate, it also makes the arrogant Qing army mingbaiziji not a fish to be slaughtered. If you want to catch the ziji Big fish must be prepared to die.

However, fortunately for the galloping Qing army cavalry, only the South Korean army has too few riflemen who can calmly shoot the third bullet. A considerable number of riflemen who lack actual combat skills even Even the second shot of buckshot couldn't be fired smoothly, so naturally it couldn't cause much damage to the surging Eight Banners cavalry.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, and it's about to break into the camp of the South Korean army. During the turan, the chaotic South Korean riflemen formed a qiguai spear formation under a certain order, scaring the horses under the crotch of the Qing army one by one. To make a dodge action.However, the Eight Banners cavalry were not Mongolian cavalry who could not fight on foot. Seeing that the horses were out of control, these Eight Banners horsemen dismounted, trying to use their heavy armor to tear apart the defense line of the South Korean army.

"Shoot!" The elders in the inner circle of the gun array shouted rapidly, and with their roar, several rifles fired one after another, knocking down a few vests that had ventured in, but it couldn't stop more vests from pouring in and being damaged. gun array.

"The Eight Banners outside the pass can still be fought." Polpen, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army who saw this scene in the binoculars, smiled gratifiedly, and immediately ordered. "Let the rest of the North Korean army attack, yes, make a big noise."

Although the roaring North Korean army had only a thousand men, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Quan Jiushan, the coach of the South Korean army and the military counselor, finally couldn't bear it when he saw that the Qing army had invested a lot of power. Hold the pressure and order the entire army to retreat.The South Korean army, which was still fighting hard just a moment ago, was completely defeated. Everyone threw away their helmets and armor, discarded their weapons and rifles and hurried towards Kaesong. Fortunately, the defenders of Kaesong watched When the situation is not good, immediately go out of the city to act as a blockade, which makes the Qing army, which has also reached the end of its strength, withdraw

In the end, the South Korean Army lost the Battle of Kaifeng with more than 50 casualties and loss of ordnance and supplies worth more than [-] silver.Although the Qing army won a complete victory and captured a large amount of loot including the Xia army's standard two-inch guns, they also lost nearly a thousand people from the Green Camp and the Eight Banners' old army, and nearly a thousand people from the North Korean auxiliary army. Yijingmeiyou continued to attack Kaicheng and weixie Hanyang had no choice but to take the loot back to the front line of the Datong River to rest and wait for Beijing to dispatch more reinforcements.

Although the defeat in the Battle of Kaifeng caused the morale of the South Korean Army to be low, it was not severely damaged at all.Therefore, although the South Korean side urgently asked China for help, and entrusted China with the Japanese indemnity that had just been obtained and had not yet been obtained, in order to purchase the necessary ordnance and ammunition, it still had no willingness to ask China for troops.

The Huaxia side was well aware of this, and Cai Nai'en, the messenger stationed in North Korea, wrote to the Central Committee: "The actions of the captive soldiers are quite attempting to use North Korea as a fortification, and since North Korea has no worries about subjugation, it does not want us to The DPRK is involved in (its) internal affairs and foreign military forces, but in the long run, I fear (North Korea) cannot afford it, and our DPRK should still be prepared to intervene at any time.”
