Volume 4 Empire East Rising Chapter 42 The Battle
.Yiyong Army had stopped advancing, and the 20,000 troops were divided into several routes. In the white snow, countless flags were rushing in the wind, and it seemed like a dance to kill.
There was a gentle slope in front of the army, which could just block the army's sight. The Ming army and the Korean soldiers were separated by this gentle slope for several miles. When the Qing army's team rushed to kill, the voice came faintly, and many Ming army showed a hint of excitement on their faces, but there was no order, and no one made a sound.
Please come to... The dozens of red figures appear on this gentle slope.
The dozens of riders stopped on the slope, and immediately rushed towards the central army without hesitation, rushed to the main flag before stopping.
The cavalry was the Baihu and his subordinates who were in front of investigating the situation in North Korea. They met Wang Gongluo and Yin Hongsheng.
The hundred-household family quickly turned over and got off the horse.
Report the situation to both of them.
"Commander Wang, the North Koreans ask us for help, what should we do?" After hearing the report from Baihu, Yin Hongsheng frowned. Although he didn't take the North Koreans' eyes, he just didn't expect that the North Koreans would be so useless. The 10,000 troops lost nearly 2,000 people in a short time.
"Ye Baihu, tell the North Korean Grandmaster Linping. Our army is right in front of them. If the Manchus launch a large-scale attack, as long as they block the Manchus for half an hour, our army will arrive. The time has not come, and our army will not be able to reinforce them." The prince said a little heavily.
"Yes, I understand." Ye Baihu replied loudly, turning his horse's head, and with a "help," the sound of the horse's hooves rang out, and disappeared behind the gentle slope in a short while.
In the Manchu camp, Dorchu finally made up his mind and pulled out the front building of the long sword: "Tell me the order. The whole army advances and destroys the Mingdo!"
"Abide by the order!" dozens of generals responded in unison. After a while, the voices of commanders were heard everywhere. After listening to Doerzhong's orders, the time was short.
The man who had been following him for half a month became excited.
If we had not wanted to take care of our horsepower, we would have wanted to immediately rode our horses to catch up with the Ming army to rush to eliminate the suffocation of being defeated several times in recent years and being driven out of the capital.
Just as the entire Qing army accelerated its pace and rushed forward, the Korean horses almost stopped. After more than ten days, they were wearing thin clothes and even walking barefoot. Even if the Koreans could endure hardships and withstand coldness, their energy was almost exhausted. They were killed by Manren just now. Although most of them had no choice but to take over the battle, the last bit of energy was squeezed out. Although they knew that Manren would probably return, many of them had no energy to walk again and sat on the snow and gasped.
"Get up, keep up." Li Yu's personal soldiers were slightly better.
They shouted loudly, urging the other officers and soldiers to move forward, but just urged the people around them to rise up, and then sat down again.
The team moved slower than the cows.
"Master, what should I do?" Li Zaizhong asked. More than half an hour passed, and the entire team moved hundreds of meters. The battlefield just now was right in front of him. The dead bodies of the North Korean soldiers were not buried at all. Some even stood up, as if they were an ice sculpture. The terrain here was wide and the snow was flat, which was suitable for cavalry to rush, otherwise a team of Qing troops would not have suffered such great casualties. Looking at the ice sculpture-like corpses, Li showed a faint chill in the center. If he didn't leave here quickly, he could become one of them.
Li Yu's face was also helpless. If he had only marched for three or five days, he could still be motivated. Now he has been walking in the snow for half a month. It is a miracle to support the physical fitness of North Korean soldiers.
"Sent to the whole army, camp on the spot, make fire and cook."
"Master, how can this work?" Li Zaizhong was surprised by Li Jian's order.
"Why can't it work? Even if you want to die, let them have a full meal before they die." Li Hui's words were filled with sadness, which made the guards around him feel as sad as if they were blocked by a big rock.
"But……"
"No need, but if the Ming army sends the troops to come, I will deal with it."
", my subordinates understand." Li Zaizhong responded sadly.
Hearing the order to stop the march, many officers and soldiers sat down as if exhausted. Many people were so tired that they only wanted to lie down, and even the strength to make a fire and cook seemed to be useless.
When the fire was lit and the snow water in the pot melted and a sizzling sound came out, the North Korean officers and soldiers returned some strength and took out bowls to fill the water.
After drinking the hot water, everyone's bodies were a little warm. Just as they were about to take out rice, flour and other food to cook, heavy snow rose behind them and their feet began to vibrate.
There is no need to remind all the North Korean officers and soldiers know that the shoes are coming again. This time they are not small groups of people. It is very likely that the main force will do their best. When the incident comes, many North Koreans are not afraid and only angry. "Brothers, the target is too bullying. Even the last hot meal will not be allowed to be eaten. We will fight with the building." A North Korean officer shouted loudly, smashing the bowl in his hand into the snow.
A muffled sound was made.
This muffled sound aroused the resonance of many soldiers.
They threw the bowls into the snow one after another and shouted loudly: "I'll fight."
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The sound was heard everywhere. The weak Korean soldiers seemed to have suddenly regained their vitality and began to marry them with their weapons tightly.
This scene made Li Rui and the Korean generals both surprised and happy. Unexpectedly, morale would recover at the critical moment. They did not expect to defeat Manchus, but with morale, there should be no problem with blocking for half an hour, right? The generals quickly ordered the soldiers to form a formation like a thorny formation, waiting for the Manchus to approach.
I saw North Korean soldiers cooking with fire.
The Qing army was rushing over and seemed extremely excited. These Koreans would probably run away in scattered one after another.
"have "
Instead of scattering and fleeing, the Qing army in front shouted out in surprise when they gathered together.
Damn, what way are these Korean barbarians blocking? If Mingdo escapes, these Korean barbarians will not die a thousand times.
The Qing army had a ferocious face and faced the formation formed by North Korean soldiers.
What they think is not whether they can defeat it.
Instead, I was worried that if time went by, I would miss the opportunity to chase and kill the Ming army.
As the two sides were getting closer, the snowflakes raised by the Qing army's horse hooves had fallen on the heads of the North Korean soldiers. The faces of the North Korean soldiers in the front row finally showed fear, and their hands holding the spear began to tremble. They just barely saved their thoughts and turned around and fled.
