The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 228 Collapse
Before departing from Jinzhou, the North Korean army had 5000 people.

On the Yulinpu battlefield, the Korean army only had [-] elite Korean Israeli troops and [-] former Korean troops guarding Zhenjiang.

The remaining [-] troops were worried about being taken advantage of by the barbarians and affecting the main army because of their low combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the [-] troops were not sent to the battlefield.

Tang Qing'an has always been a person who is not willing to suffer losses, how could he let the [-] North Korean soldiers enjoy the benefits.

When confronting the barbarians yesterday, his eyes fell on Qinghe.

When the two armies confront each other, one side has the upper hand.

therefore.

He made a decision.

The [-] navy led [-] Korean troops, took [-] warships, traveled around the land and sea to Gaizhou, and attacked Gaizhou.

The old slave definitely didn't believe it, and he dared to divide his troops in front of the old slave.

He left thousands of soldiers in Haizhou, where supplies were gathered, while only a few hundred soldiers were left in Gaizhou.

I really dare not divide my troops.

But the [-] Korean soldiers were like chicken ribs, it was a pity to eat them and discard them. They could not be brought to the battlefield, and they consumed a lot of supplies.

So Tang Qing'an made a decision.

Even if the [-] North Korean troops cannot attack Gaizhou, it will not have much impact on him, but it will reduce the consumption of his supplies.

He thought so.

The navy was unconvinced.

Jinjiang Town Water Division was established five years ago.

Even Shen Yourong, the commander of the naval battalion, and Yan Zhongzheng were naval generals appointed by the imperial court, and they were transferred from Denglai.

But in the past five years, they also experienced withdrawals, from a maximum of [-] soldiers to [-] soldiers, and only the elite remained.

Jinjiang Town is famous.

At home and abroad, it is believed that the navy is just taking advantage of the barbarian's lack of sea power, but no one pays attention to it.

therefore.

From Shen Yourong to Yan Zhongzheng, to Gou'er, Li Er and so on, down to the junior officers of the navy, they were all gearing up.

This time, it was the first time for the navy to lead the army independently in many years and take charge of one side's battle situation.

There are another [-] North Korean troops at their disposal.

So only half a day.

Twenty-five thousand soldiers captured Gaizhou, which had only a few hundred soldiers.

Not to mention casualties.

Only an hour after noon, they saw the barbarian army.

Whether it was the Korean army of less than [-] or the high-morale navy, they all began to panic.

Their purpose was to defeat the barbarians, and let them cut off the retreat of the barbarians, but they did not expect them to be able to resist the barbarian army.

Dai Shan led two red flags across the Qinghe River, and received the military information from Gaizhou's rout, which was completely unbelievable.

General Tang divided his troops?
Where did he come from.

That being the case, Daishan unceremoniously wanted to eat the Jinjiang soldiers from Gaizhou.

Just a wave of probing, let him know the quality of the defenders of Gaizhou City, except for a small number of troops, the others are not worth mentioning.

So get ready for the army to press on.

at this time.

The guards in the rear transported the comatose Khan, and at the same time brought the previous military situation.

Daishan panicked.

Father Khan fell into a coma, and the army of the headquarters changed from an orderly retreat to a real rout.

He had a clear mind, immediately understood the priorities, and quickly went to meet Qinghe in person.

really.

People in Qinghe turned their backs on their horses and rushed to cross the pontoon bridge first.

It turned out that the stone bridges on the river had already been destroyed by the Jinjiang army, and many pontoon bridges were built before the barbarian army crossed the river.

The Mongolian light cavalry wanted to rely on the speed of their horses to drive away the rout soldiers on the bridge, but the rout soldiers pulled them off their horses one after another. Not only the horses were squeezed out of the river, but many soldiers also fell into the river.

Some of the defeated soldiers were so disappointed that they did not dare to stay where they were, and took off their armor one after another, wading across the Qinghe River on foot.

Some routs were slippery and washed away by the river, and many routs held hands and chose to cross the river in groups.

Some river sections are deep and some river sections are shallow.

The rout soldiers who stepped into the deep water disappeared with a bang, and the shallow river section that was protruded out of the river bed attracted more rout soldiers.

Many Mongolian cavalry, even barbarian cavalry, saw the scene in the river and crossed the river on horseback.

The lack of order led to panic and scrambling, which further aroused internal strife.

The cavalry in the river had a fight with the infantry, and the speed of the rout soldiers crossing the river was slowed down, causing the rout soldiers in the rear to curse anxiously.

Until Daishan arrived, he began to ask the buglers to blow their horns and flags, and personally stepped forward to direct the various ministries to cross the river.

They also sent elite guards to restore order, and those who crowded in disorder were killed unceremoniously.

Daishan has fought the battle all his life, and he is not chaotic in times of crisis.

At the same time, he sent his own army, one to defend Gaizhou defenders, and the other to set up camp in Qinghe.

really.

As the camp on the other side of the Qing River was erected, the rout soldiers who hadn't crossed the river gradually calmed down and restored the proper order.

Although the situation is improving, Daishan is anxious.

He didn't know where the majority of the Jinjiang army had gone, what was the situation of the battalions that had been cut off, and the broken soldiers crossing the river would not be finished in a short while.

When even the routs of the Xianglan Banner appeared, Daishan no longer hesitated, gave up the remaining routs on the other side of the Qinghe River, and ordered the pontoon bridge to be destroyed.

Ignoring the cries of the broken soldiers on the other side of the river, he directly led the army back to Haizhou.

Although he still has more than [-] soldiers and has gathered more rout soldiers than the headquarters, but in this situation, if he is entangled by Jin Jiang's army, it will be completely over.

Daishan led the army to retreat.

The cavalry of the Jinjiang Army appeared.

The defeated soldiers no longer hesitated, or fled into the Qinghe River. For a while, the river surface was full of floating corpses.

Uncountable horses, armor, weapons, etc. were left on the shore.

There were more routs and began to flee along the river.

Tang Qing'an personally led the Chinese army to Qinghe to pursue Dai Shanyu's troops.

The left-wing and right-wing armies chased and wiped out the scattered barbarian troops, and at the same time sent out battalions to take the opportunity to capture Tangchibao, Shimen Pass, Dapanling Pass and other passes.

Qinghe is not a small river. It extends from the sea in Liaodong Bay, passes through Gaizhou, and enters the Changbai Mountains.

Pass through the Shimen Pass, Dapanling Pass and other passes in the mountains.

These passes, together with Xiuyan City, formed a natural moat, and together with the Qinghe River, it directly locked Gaizhou.

The Changbai Mountains cannot easily survive the army. If they want to attack Jinzhou, they can only attack Gaizhou first.

As long as heavy troops are sent to guard the city pass on this line of defense, the barbarian army without artillery will be helpless.

Then the back of Gaizhou and Fuzhou will be as stable as a mountain.

Then the newly recovered Fuzhou and the entire territory of Gaizhou will be able to provide Jinjiang Town with 200 million acres of fertile land.

With these 200 million mu of land, the Jinjiang army only needs to save for two years to provide the supplies needed by the army.

Jin Jiangzhen will take the initiative.

The pontoon bridge of Qinghe was destroyed, and the Jinjiang army urgently built a pontoon bridge, which slowed down the speed of the army.

But Daishan didn't stop at all, and urged the army to march to Haizhou to withdraw.

There are still more than [-] soldiers in Haizhou, and there are [-] banner soldiers on the two red flags. There are more than [-] soldiers in each department, and there will be more than [-] soldiers.

Enough for him to stick to it until Huangtaiji returned to help.

Tang Qing'an not only sent cavalry to harass the speed of Daishan's army, but also rushed to catch up with him.

The navy had a boat on the Shuangtaizi River, Donghai Fort to inquire about the military situation of Beizhen, and immediately brought back the military report of the city of Beizhen and sent it to Yulin.

The generals of the Jinjiang Army in Yulin did not dare to delay at all, and sent one after another scouting horses to find the general's main force.

Tang Qing'an led the [-] Jinjiang Army of the headquarters. It was not until Yingkou that he learned that Beizhen had been broken, and Huangtaiji led the army towards Haizhou.

In this way, Tang Qing'an didn't dare to chase after him.

Huangtaiji was in command of an army of 11.

The barbarian army was defeated, taking advantage of the gap between Huangtaiji and Haizhou.

Tang Qing'an personally led the army to occupy Yingkou, and at the same time sent the rest of his troops to seize the surrounding Liangfangkou Pass, the pass in Pingshanli, and the Yaozhou Post in front of Yingkou.

Occupy the surrounding terrain and occupy the terrain first.

With the recovery of the gates of Yingkou, Yingkou City has Pingshan as its support, which will become the front line of Gaizhou and threaten Haizhou.

Haizhou lost the dangerous terrain of Yingkou, all the way is plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend.

And Jinjiang Town will have two naturally formed lines of defense.

One is the defense line formed by Yingkou as the core, surrounding Pingshan, Liangfangkou Pass, and Yaozhou Station.

One is with Qinghe and Changbai Mountains as the core, Gaizhou as the important city, Shimen Pass, Dapanling and other passes in the mountainous area, extending to Xiuyan City.

The latter has a more solid line of defense than the former.

Tang Qing'an gathered all the battalions in Yingkou and deployed troops to guard against Huangtaiji.

in the rear.

The battalions in Jinjiang Town, which were ordered to pursue the rout of the barbarian army, left countless corpses of rout soldiers in a radius of hundreds of miles.

Geng Bingyuan, the former general of Jinzhou, when he learned that the chief general Liu Aita had rebelled, although he couldn't believe it, he led his cronies away immediately.

First they went to Qinghe, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately fled to Shimen Pass.

From Yulin to Qinghe, and then from Qinghe to Changbai Mountains, Geng Bingyuan's men were exhausted, from more than [-] people before entering the mountain to more than [-] people now.

Geng Bingyuan leaned against the big tree to rest, his eyes were about to cry but there were no tears.

It turned out that the more than [-] people in the department disappeared with the defeat.

The defeat in this battle was inexplicably ingenious, especially Liu Xingzuo, the barbarians called him Liu Aita, which shows how much they love him.

He was the Lord of the Four Davids at the beginning.

What benefits can Da Zhou give him?Can he surpass such power and let him secretly submit?

Geng Bingyuan, who couldn't figure it out, was angry and worried about the pursuers, so he got up and urged the soldiers to set off.

None of the soldiers wanted to get up.

Seeing this situation, Geng Bingyuan didn't dare to threaten him too much.

It’s different in the past.

In the Changbai Mountains, where the terrain is difficult to walk, there are many people who have escaped into the mountains and are isolated from the world all year round.

These people.

Either fear the tyranny of the Great Zhou, or flee from the barbarians.

In order to escape for their lives, the barbarians discarded their armor and weapons one after another. Although they ran faster than their companions, they escaped with their lives.

But he had nothing, and was exhausted from morning to night, suffering from hunger and cold.

A lot of rout soldiers fled into these mountain households, and they were all bereaved dogs.

The people of these mountain households had to fight wild beasts in the mountains. They were vigilant and tough at the same time, so they did not take in these rout soldiers.

In addition, the Shanhu family who had fled from the barbarians besieged and killed these barbarian troops.

Day two.

When Geng Bingyuan arrived at Shimen Pass, the flag of the Jinjiang Army was already flying above, and there were only three or four people around him at this time.

Where did he dare to stay, he turned around and fled into the deep mountains again.

Within a hundred miles.

There are broken soldiers everywhere, and there are also pursuers of the Jinjiang Army everywhere.

Some of the barbarian rout soldiers were prostrate in the fields, and some were lying beside the corpses. When they met the common people, they prayed for food, and when they met the Jinjiang army, they remained motionless.

Countless routs were killed and taken prisoner.

There were also quite a few broken soldiers, struggling in desperation, cold, hungry, timid and exhausted, and there were dead people along the way.

Not only Geng Bingyuan was in trouble, but Sun Degong and other Han generals were also in the same situation.

Most of them were in a panic, and many were overtaken by Jin Jiang's army and became prisoners.

The Mongolian cavalry ran the fastest, and the seven or eight thousand soldiers of the Xianglan Banner were broken by the Hongyi cannons, and when Amin was smashed by the shells, he could no longer hold on.

Although the Han army did not have many horses, more Jinjiang troops were attracted by the Xianglan Banner camp, and more troops fled there than the barbarians.

In short, because the Jinjiang Army occupied Qinghe and the passes in the Changbai Mountains, these defeated troops had no way to escape.
