The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 582 Qing soldiers are like fools

This morning, Ding Yi had already brought his troops down Anguling.

At this time, all his soldiers and horses were concentrated behind him, tens of thousands of infantry and a thousand cavalry were there, and all the cavalry were wearing Korean military uniforms.

Ding Yi built a simple sand table ten miles south of Anguling.

For so long in the Ming Dynasty, Ding Yi seldom used the sand table in wars. Now that he thinks about it, he himself is also strange.

Probably because he seldom went to fight in places other than Lushun.

"To the north is the Angul Swamp, just below the Angul Ridge, and it's over for the cavalry to enter."

"Our current position is on the opposite side of the swamp, that is, to the south, about two miles away. After a while, the whole army will move forward to about one mile away from the Angu swamp."

"Chen Shishi, your 21st Battalion, Jia Xuwei, and Ma Yue's Department are guarding in our direction and setting up positions."

"No." The generals responded.

In this way, there will be seventeen bureaus in the south (one in Chenyangna), with about 5000 people.

"Xiao Yongqiu, you give three rounds to He Xiaoche, and six rounds are on the east side."

Xiao Yongqiu gave He Xiaoche 3000 for 2000 people, and [-] people were on the east side, which is to the right of their current position.

Ding Yi asked them to dig a pit. The ore they dug should not be large, but the size of a palm and [-] centimeters deep.

The charging cavalry stepped on it, and they would fall to the ground. He used this trick in the battle of Nanguan Pass, and it was very useful.

At this time, it was about five miles from their position to the swamp. Ding Yi ordered 2000 people to dig, and they dug in a row.

Each distance is one meter, and the distance between each row is one meter. After digging the first row, the second row is dug in the middle of the first row.

Now their steel output has increased significantly, and there are more engineering shovels, and digging is still very fast.

Ding Yi didn't dig too much. Each person dug forty, forty rows would be fine.

When the cavalry of the Qing soldiers came over, as long as they were thrown off a few horses, they would definitely not dare to charge later, let alone know how much Ding Yi dug.

The density this time is far less than the last time. The distance between each one is one meter. Those with better riding skills or slow speed can hide.

But Ding Yi is in a mess, and the positions are scattered in dots. At high speed, your cavalry can hide one without any problem, but it is impossible to hide forty in a row.

On the left is He Xiaoche and Xiao Yongqiu's thirteen bureaus, with about 4000 people. There is a jungle here, but it is not dense, and it is not easy to hide soldiers, but Ding Yi let the soldiers hide in it.

Originally, the jungle and the swamp were connected together. Ding Yi had someone cut down a group of small trees to form a road for the army to pass, and used this road to lure the Qing soldiers.

When Ding Yi talked about it before, the generals didn't feel it intuitively, but now when the sand table is put out, they can see it clearly.

Ding Yi chose the place to encircle and trap the cavalry.

But the cavalry is more flexible, and it is not easy to surround the cavalry with infantry. Usually the best way is to tie a pocket and wait for the cavalry to rush in.

The place Ding Yi chose was a swamp to the north and woods to the west, so they only needed to block the east and south sides to form a pocket.

But in order to ambush and prevent the Qing soldiers from finding out, Ding Yi first blocked the east and south sides, and then cut down a small forest at the junction of the west and north sides, and Yuan Youcai led the Qing soldiers in through this gap.

This is equivalent to opening a hole in the bag, and when the Qing soldiers come in, they can wrap the bag tightly.

But there is a grove blocking the west, when the Qing soldiers came in, they would definitely not see the Ming army already gathering infantry waiting for them in the southeast.

After arranging everything, Ding Yi waved his hand.

Yuan Youcai left [-] cavalry to follow the Chinese army, and with another [-] cavalry, drove out through the gap in the forest where the trees had been cut down.
-
Yue Tuo and Yang Guli were wandering around with [-] elite cavalry, and his soldiers and horses usually surrounded the spots for reinforcements.

This time, he was in charge of supporting the rear of his younger brother Shuo Tuo.

After learning that all the soldiers and horses of Shuotuo had crossed the sea, he and Yangguli wandered around with the elite.

The two of them have been in a pretty good mood these past few days. Basically, they have won many battles and repulsed waves of reinforcements from North Korea.

Moreover, the Koreans are not even as good as the Ming army, so they are really vulnerable.

The two of them were jogging with three thousand fine riders, mainly going to the nearby villages.

One is to grab food, and the other is to grab people. They can be pulled to the front and used by the main force besieging Namhan Mountain City.

But this side is close to Ganghwa Island. When the son of Joseon retreated to Ganghwa Island, he had already informed the people along the way, and all the people nearby fled.

They went around for a few days without catching anyone, and they didn't get much food.

"Yuetuo, I don't see any North Korean soldiers and civilians nearby, why don't we go east?" Yangguli was really bored this day, and wanted to go further east, but if he went further east, he would be even closer to Namhan Mountain City. Far.

Although Yang Guli is older than him, Yue Tuo is Baylor. In the Qing Dynasty, Yang Guli's status is only below Baylor, so this time the leader is Yue Tuo instead of him.

Of course, this is also the reason why Huang Taiji wanted to train new people. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the six ministers (shangshu) used young people.

Yue Tuo thought for a while: "Wait a minute, if news comes from Shuo Tuo that he will break Jianghua Island, we will win."

What he thinks is that there is a lot of food on Jianghua Island, and there are hundreds of officials from the Joseon Dynasty. As long as Shuo Tuo can take down Jianghua Island, they will definitely be able to force Li Yu to surrender.

It makes sense for Yanguli to think about it.

The two discussed it and decided to observe for a day.

When Shuo Tuo fought Jianghua Island, he could give feedback within a day at most. Whether he won or lost, he would definitely come back.

The two cavalry were also wandering around, not daring to go too far.

But after waiting for a day, there was no news, and Yuetuo even sent sentry cavalry to the shore to watch.

The sound of cannons on Ganghwa Island can be heard from the nearest place here.

But his whistle rode over, just when the fight was over.

After hearing for a long time, there was no news, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't see any boat coming.

Some North Korean ships that escaped ahead of time knew that they were landing here, so naturally they did not dare to go this way, and the other ships that did not escape certainly had no chance to escape.

So when it was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was getting dark and there was no news, Yuetuo had to consider finding a place to stay for the night.

But Yuetuo was in a bad mood, and Shuotuo didn't come back for a day, and he didn't know the outcome. He had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Will something happen?" Yue Tuo asked in a deep voice.

Yang Guli didn't believe it. They received a secret report that Jianghua Island only had more than 1000 North Korean troops. How could Shuo Tuo lose to the enemy with two thousand troops?

Just when the two were struggling with how to send people into the sea again to inquire about the news, a sentry suddenly reported in front: "A large group of North Korean cavalry was found."

The two people who were originally bored were suddenly shaken.

"Let's get rid of this cavalry first." Yue Tuo liked the reinforcements most.

"I didn't expect the North Koreans to be so cunning, and there are cavalrymen who want to come around from the south." Yang Guli was overjoyed: "They must want to attack our army's rear camp."

"Destroy them." Yue Tuo sternly said, the two immediately reached a consensus and rushed out with the cavalry.

In fact, they took the cavalry around for several days, and today is most of the day, and the horses are a little tired.

But seeing the enemy approaching, Yue Tuo and his two still kept going, because in their eyes, the North Korean soldiers and horses were even inferior to the Ming army.

Sure enough, as soon as their three thousand cavalry rushed out for two miles, they saw a large group of North Korean cavalry.

When the North Korean cavalry saw them, they turned around and ran away without saying a word.

When they ran over, the formation was fairly neat, but when they saw the Qing soldiers, they were in a panic, and the formation became a lot more chaotic.

The leading general was still faintly cursing, signaling to the soldiers to keep their formation and not to panic.

"Chase." Yue Tuo gave an order.

"Wait a minute." Yang Guli was old-fashioned: "It's getting dark, beware of an ambush."

Yue Tuo was young and energetic, and said with a smile: "How about an ambush, the North Korean army is vulnerable."

Yang Guli thinks about it too. They were also ambushed by the North Koreans before a part of their Qing soldiers. As a result, they counterattacked and the North Koreans collapsed.

"Chase."

The three thousand soldiers of the Qing Dynasty immediately chased Yuan Youcai's cavalry and ran eastward.

In fact, Yuan Youcai's cavalry had been looking for this group of cavalry since the morning, and it took him a long time to find it. At that moment, he turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Naturally, he followed closely behind.

"These Qing soldiers are like idiots." Mr. Qian who was beside him smiled at Yuan Youcai.

Yuan Youcai shook his head and laughed loudly: "Tartars are not stupid. How stupid can beat the Ming army like that? They are stupid when they meet our Master Ding."

"Haha" all the generals around laughed, indeed, the Qing soldiers were like idiots when they met Mr. Ding.

Yue Tuo and others naturally didn't know that the Ming army in front was laughing at them. If they knew it was a Ming army, they would definitely not chase after them.

Don't fight on the battlefield chosen by Ding Yi. This is the consensus of all Bellehan generals in the Qing Dynasty.

So Yue Tuo thought a lot, but never imagined that Ding Yi was so familiar with North Korea that he could choose the battlefield.

This is also Ding Yi's war for North Korea. It is considered half of his home field. He is guided by North Korean guides throughout the process. Naturally, he is more familiar with the terrain than their Qing soldiers.
