Chapter 973

To the north of Seoul, on the road leading to Pyongyang, Lin Qingye led a group of North Koreans to plant mines and cannons on the road.

This weapon began to appear in the late Ming Dynasty and was recorded in Qi Jiguang's military books. It was developed in the hands of Gan Chao, forming various types of mine cannons.

Depending on the use scenario, these mine cannons can be trampled and fired, or they can be pulled and exploded with ropes.

Both methods have their own advantages. If the trampling triggers an explosion, it is suitable for burying outside the camp and on the trail to prevent enemy sneak attacks and dealing with small groups of enemy troops.

The disadvantage of line pulling trigger is that the soldiers need to operate it. The advantage is that they can plant many mines and cannons, and through the soldiers' control, they can explode at the same time.

On the Korean battlefield, Gao Huan did not send many soldiers, but only sent hundreds of people over. In order to enhance their strength, Gao Huan showed them a large number of firearms.

In recent years, Ganchao's arms production has been very strong and has a large inventory, so it is just right for the inventory to be removed.

At this time, the North Koreans buried mine cannons underground, then covered them with weeds and dust, and hid the mine cannons and threads, and finally brushed away the traces with branches.

"The Qing soldiers are here!" A scout rushed into the woods and reported on one knee.

Dorgon was quite content with his sanity. Now the Qing army in North Korea probably didn't know that the Gan army had arrived in North Korea. He thought it was just the Koreans who caused trouble, so he underestimated the enemy.

Yaxa immediately waved, "Send the order, the whole army hides."

A whistle sounded from the woods, and the busy Koreans hurriedly retreated into the woods. More than a dozen soldiers jumped into the dirt pit next to the road, covering their heads with a layer of weeds.

Soon, a sound of horse hooves came from the road, and more than a dozen Qing army scouts galloped past.

Although the Qing army looked down on the Koreans, they were elite soldiers who had fought for a long time, and the scouts who should be released should be released.

At this time, the Qing army scouts rushed over, tied the reins of the horses for the cavalry, and looked at the terrain on both sides. There was a rolling forest, and nothing unusual was seen.

"Just ahead!" At this time, the person who reported the news and asked for help pointed ahead and said.

When the scout heard this, it seemed that there was a vague sound of gunfire. He immediately grabbed the horse's belly and shouted loudly: "Continue to explore forward."

The Qing army scouts galloped past. Soon, the dense sound of horse hooves came from far and near again. Furtai led 1,500 cavalrymen and galloped over.

Since the Qing army scouts in front did not warn, the Qing army galloped all the way and did not find that the danger was approaching.

At this time, in the woods, Dorgon and Yaxa looked at the Qing cavalry galloping past, with a little excited on their faces.

Yaquesa surrendered early, and gave birth to a child in the Ganchao An family, and became a third-rank military officer. He had already regarded himself as a Kan and no longer regarded Manchus as a tribe.

His mentality was like those Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. In order to integrate into the ethnic group they surrendered, he was even more serious to his own ethnic group than the ethnic group they surrendered. He often relied on killing the people to express his loyalty to the people, intending to prove that he was a murderer.

Therefore, he felt very excited when he saw the Qing army enter the ambush circle.

Dorgon's mentality is still different from Yaxa. He was tortured by Gao Huan for ten years and was asked to learn Gao's thoughts, but he still believed in his heart that he was a Manchu and hoped to lead Manchu out of the crisis.

He now realized that the Ganchao was powerful and felt that the Qing court was taking a completely wrong route. He wanted to use the Ganchao's power to regain his leadership over the Manchus from Haoge.

For this, he felt that it was completely acceptable to sacrifice some Manchus who finally came to Hauge.

Lin Qingye whispered, "The Qing army has entered the ambush circle, let's do it!"

On both sides of the woods, the Koreans holding muskets and bows and arrows nervously clamped their weapons, and the dark muzzles and sharp arrows pointed at the galloping Qing cavalry.

At this time, Yaxa saw him without any hesitation. He immediately waved his hand and roared loudly, "Shoot!"

"Boom boom boom!" In the woods, the Korean artillery roared, and smoke rose up, and shells roared out, hitting the cavalry on the road.

Almost at the same time, muskets fired in the woods on both sides and thousands of arrows were fired at once. The soldiers hiding in the pit pulled the ropes, and the mines and guns exploded violently.

On the road that lasted for miles, more than one hundred mine cannons and "rumbling" explosions instantly overturned the Mercedes' cavalry, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Furtai's war horse neighed and threw him off. Two Qing army guards quickly helped him up and exclaimed: "Yes, we have been ambushed by a stick."

The accident happened in a very short time, and the Qing army on the road had no time to react, and suffered heavy losses under the call of various firearms.

Before the Qing army could come to their senses, they lost four or five hundred cavalry, with explosions of black smoke and dead bodies everywhere.

Furthy saw the road in a mess, with the wailing of Qing soldiers everywhere, and the ownerless war horses bumped into each other, and he was shocked, "The knot can't have such strong firepower. We must have met the Ganjun."

"Kill!" Yakesa drew his sword and pointed, and the knights and the Koreans rushed out with their weapons.

The Qing soldiers on the official road squatted on the road, looking for cover and counterattacked with flintlock rifles, but they could not stop the charges all over the mountains.

When Furthy saw this scene, he was very nervous, "Hurry, withdraw!"

The guards led a war horse, and Fultai hurriedly turned over to the horse, then grabbed the horse's belly and ran south.

The Qing cavalry pulled out the reins of the horses, and the Qing army, who were shocked to evacuate, shot and looked for horses while searching for horses, but was chopped to the ground by the rushed out cavalry.

At this time, Lin Qingye led a team of Korean troops to block the Qing army's retreat.

When the Korean army saw the cavalry rushing towards him, they quickly released guns and arrows in a panic. Lin Qingye shouted loudly: "Defense! Squat half-squat with a spear in his hand."

A group of Koreans held long spears, stabbed the spear head and half-squatted down. They saw Qing cavalry galloping towards them. The Korean soldiers saw the cavalry about to hit but their legs trembled. Many people were so scared that they sat on the ground.

The Korean military formation loosened, and the Qing cavalry galloped, stabbed with lances and war horses, instantly smashed the Korean military formation.

Furthy led six or seven hundred cavalry, broke through the encirclement and left.

Lin Qingye and other Korean officers shouted loudly, but they were endless. There were only 400 soldiers in the army, and the Koreans had poor combat power, so they could only watch the Qing army breaking out.

"What a pity!" Seeing the Qing cavalry disappearing from sight, Yakesa couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "If I give me three hundred soldiers, I will definitely be able to leave these Tartars."

Dorgon, who was standing by, said, "The general does not have to regret it. It is also a good thing for us to escape. When I write a letter to make Wakda surrender and escape back, the Qing army will become the backbone of our fight against Hauge."
