Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

507. Fighting North Korea Again

Both the central and left wings have entered the final stage, but the right wing of the Qing army seems to have just woken up like a dream. The infantry of more than 6000 horses walked forward slowly, and it was almost within the firing range of the artillery of the South Korean Army. The people and horses suddenly dispersed, and then quickly moved south, rushing to the forefront of the Albazin Cossacks led by Russia. The face caused a lot of shock among North Koreans who have never seen Thais and Westerners in the country.

Although the hearts are also bottomless, it does not prevent the officers from yelling at the gunner in front of them: "I'm afraid of shime, even a dead ghost can kill him again with this cannon! I'm still doing shime in a daze, and itching to fire ww." ?br />

The artillery rang out one after another, although the Qing army advanced in a scattered front, but the projectiles flying all over still knocked down many people.Watching the vicious Albazin Cossacks disappear into the artillery fire, the officers and soldiers of the South Korean Army, who were relieved of the big stone in their hearts, cheered subconsciously, but this did not help the trend of the battle.

Soon, the distance between the two sides reached the level of rifle shooting, so the vests of the Qing army accelerated forward, and rushed into the formation of the South Korean army before the rifle team of the South Korean army fired bullets again and again, and immediately dispersed the rifles. The team, and later the bow and arrow team, fought with the South Korean pikemen and sword and shield soldiers who were also armored.

The thoroughly killed South Korean riflemen hurriedly fled to the rear to rectify. The North Korean army also rushed forward, and the battle lines became entangled, and the situation suddenly became gloomy.However, to the surprise of the South Koreans, the combat effectiveness of the Xibo and Sauron commanders in front of them is quite poor, and they are not even as strong as the North Korean army fighting against each other. It's just as good as the South Korean army's killing

"Brother Yaopu, if the fight continues like this, the South Korean Army will definitely win." Chen Benxing, the commander of the Zhennanpu Temporary Detachment, stood on an unnamed hill of more than [-] feet in the east of the Datong River, overlooking the battle in Hexi, and said to the people around him. "The Qing army has yijingmeiyou reserve team, and the right wing can't make a breakthrough. Once the left wing collapses first, the overall situation will be settled."

At that time, Wang Zongkang, who was the marching Sima of the Fourth Division of the Longxiang Army and in charge of the military affairs of the Gouben Division, shook his head: "Poerpen was sent by Tatar Chief Kangxi to preside over the Korean War. He is an incompetent person. Maybe he still has a backup."

"Follower?" Chen Benxing smiled lightly. "If you don't use it, it will be too late"

Before Chen Benxing could finish his sentence, a group of mysterious Qing troops appeared out of hiding in the sight of his binoculars.

Chen Benxing asked dumbfounded: "This is? Where did the artillery come from? No, the Qing army is about to fire."

The sound of rumbling cannons rang out, sweeping all the North and South Korean troops to the ground indiscriminately. Seeing the flames of the shelling approaching the chaotic battle group by the river beach, Wang Zongkang nodded: "This is Polpen's backhand. , so cruel."

Wang Zongkang explained to Chen Benxing who didn't know why: "Looking at the banner and the Hongyi cannon equipped, this should be the Green Battalion artillery team. No wonder we only saw the Eight Banner artillery team firing in front. It turned out that Polpen hid them on the left wing. Now Take it as the winner, so it seems that Polpen's last yidian power should also be used."

Fangfo was echoing Wang Zongkang's words. A group of knights in gorgeous armor who looked like Porpen's personal guards and nearly a hundred green flag soldiers emerged from the smoke and dust, and immediately attacked South Korea, who was lost in the bombardment. The army was defeated.

Wang Zongkang said again: "Cui Xian still has more than 1000 reserve teams on hand. If Ruguo is decisive, the situation may be restored."

Cui Xian's reserve team really took action, but a helpless thing happened. Driven by the Qing army's cavalry, the South Korean army fled chaotically and smashed Ziji's reinforcements. The Chinese army that rushed straight to Cui Xian still outflanked the central front first, and Cui Xian was helpless.

"Brother Bocheng, it's your turn to play now." Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Wang Zongkang, who was watching from the other side, finally smiled. "If Cui Xian fails completely, it is not in the interests of the court."

"Don't talk about me, you should move." Chen Benxing ordered while talking. "Send the flag."

With the waving of several signal flags, five modified flat-bottomed boats quickly went upstream.When they got near the scheduled weizhi, the five boats pointed their bows towards the west of the river one after another, and then the hull of the five hundred materials slowly rushed to the beach and approached the west of the river in a nearly stranded manner.Even before the ship came to a complete stop, deadly flames were spewing out one after another from the side of the three-inch gun equipped on the bow.

Just as the Qing army used only six red cannons equipped by the green battalion to bombard the unprepared South Korean army Yiyang just a moment ago, the unexpected bombardment from the Xia army navy also caused the Qing army and the Qing army under the scolding of the Qing army. The chaos of the reorganized North Korean army.For a while, the Qing army and the North Korean army also ignored the important mission of attacking Cui Xianzhong's army and outflanking the central front. The only thing they could think of was to escape from the Xia army's shelling range as soon as possible.

Cui Xian was also somewhat at a loss for such twists and turns, but he quickly came to his senses and immediately gathered the defeated army.Taking advantage of the chaos in the Qing army, he finally gathered more than 3000 subordinates and put them in order, and then ordered them to build a new line of defense on his right flank, thus making the long-planned deadly attack of the Qing army fall into the air. place.

Polpen, who learned of the astonishing reversal, knew something was wrong, but before he could make adjustments, the Xia army's next attack came one after another. A series of field signal relays, a Xia army that had been deployed on the periphery of the battlefield for a long time. He went into battle within half a quarter of an hour, and rushed straight to the right wing of the Qing army to kill.

Speaking of which, the strength of this Xia army is not large, only a regiment of more than [-] people, but when the North and South Korean troops who were fighting heard the approaching Japanese roars, they all felt like they were stung by scorpions. Regardless of the enemy in front of him, he turned his head and ran away.It's okay for the South Korean army to flee, but the North Korean army actually brought their friendly troops with them. Except for the inexplicable leader Daurzuo who was still looking around in a daze, there were only corpses left on the battlefield where they were fighting just now. The wounded and the ordnance and armor discarded by the two armies when they fled separately, and some horses that lost their owners.

Seeing this scene, and looking at the strange army that was about to pounce, several Daurzo leaders also turned around and ran away. In this way, with the escape contest between the two sides, the entire west side of the battlefield suddenly calmed down, and only one thought was left. A group of Shence soldiers who had gained military merits cursed in disappointment.

"My lord, what should we do now?" A few junior military officers of Japanese origin suggested to Niu Mingli, who was the head of the regiment, unable to resist their desire for military merit. "How about we continue to kill?"

Niu Mingli swept away his subordinates who were sweating profusely from the charge, weighed it a bit, and then decided: "Drink water, rest for half a stick of incense, and then we will go to the Chinese army to clear the captives."

Niu Mingli was doomed to be disappointed. When he got the news of the collapse of the right wing, Polpen immediately decided to withdraw his troops. Relying on the gunners to fire desperately, the Qing army blocked the pursuit of the South Korean army.Seeing the Qing army retreating, Cui Xian, who didn't want to use the flesh and blood of his subordinates to fight against the Qing army's artillery fire, also gave up. So far, the anticlimactic Hexi battle came to an end.

In this battle, the Qing army suffered more than 500 casualties, damaged and discarded four cannons from the Green Camp and Red Barbarians, and about 4000 horses. The North Korean army lost nearly [-] people; the South Korean army lost about [-] people. There were no military casualties.

"I should have expected that Hai Ni would come out to disrupt the situation." In terms of the strength of the troops involved in the battle and the final result, the Qing army should be the winner, but Polpen, who won the miserable victory, did not feel the joy of victory. On the contrary, he just blame yourself. "It's just that I'm eager to win, how should I explain to the emperor now." Poerpen ziji untied Dingdai Hualing and handed it to his deputy. "Deputy Ma Dutong, I will impeach myself later, and I will trouble you to lead the remaining soldiers and horses temporarily."

"Commander, all the relatives and nobles of the Eight Banners are here. I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will not accept it, so I ask the commander to continue to lead the various ministries." The top wearing Hualing in Polpen's hands, as he ziji said, although his position in the army is second only to Polpen, how can he, a fake Tartar and a real traitor, restrain a kind of arrogant soldier? , so he could only cautiously persuade: "Besides, the lower officials thought that although the Lord did not do his best in this battle, he was defeated. The emperor will not fail to see this, so the so-called self-participation of the Lord, You don't need to be an official, otherwise the emperor may think that the father-in-law wants to put down the pick, and it will be bad."

Polpen was terrified, and looked back at Ma Changlu: "What Vice President Ma said is that I have been educated."

Now that he temporarily gave up his idea of ​​retreating to advance, Polpen, who resumed his duties as the commander of the first army, immediately ordered: "Immediately send someone to discuss the exchange of prisoners with the South Korean army. As for the wounded and dead bodies on the battlefield Please also allow us to clean up."

It is impossible for Cui Xian to disagree with the Qing army's request to recover the corpses of the wounded and those killed in battle. He also wanted to recover the corpses and wounded on the battlefield.Of course, Cui Xian could not easily agree to the politically charged topic of exchanging prisoners. Therefore, the soldiers of the two armies who unfortunately fell into the hands of each other were not as lucky as the dying wounded.

After cleaning up the wounded and corpses on the battlefield, and ignoring further packing up the leftover ordnance and ammunition, Polpen withdrew back to Pyongyang overnight.Cui Xian heaved a sigh of relief when he got the news of the retreat of the Qing army, but then he seemed to think about it again, and his expression became tense.Yes, the South Korean Army had an advantage in strength in this battle, but the result was that the South Korean Army suffered more casualties than its opponents. If the Xia Army hadn't taken action in time, the South Korean Army might still face the end of annihilation. Such news spread to Hanyang, Among other things, doubts about Cui Xian's ability are inevitable.

Under such circumstances, Cui Xian could only tell his confidants: "Go and ask the officials stationed in Nanpu, the Xia army, to come and talk about it."
