After the previous battle of Jurong, the defeated troops of Luck Dehun, who fled back to Beijing, described the Ming army as like evil ghosts, and Geng Zhongming's troops had heard of it. Therefore, this time, from officers to non-commissioned officers, they were all cautious, only afraid that they would be killed by the firearms of the Ming army.

When the 4,000 foot soldiers in the front row pushed the cart to less than a mile away from the "Ming army", they suddenly heard a loud sound of artillery on the opposite side, and two iron balls flew into the Qing army's formation, smashing a cart and taking the lives of the four captives behind.

Geng Zhongming's men and horses were suddenly startled - it was rumored that the Ming army's cannons could go off in three or five breaths, and the shells were as dense as hail - and more than a dozen people immediately turned their heads and wanted to flee.

Geng Zhongming rarely "suppressed" a group of Jianzhou army generals to be the vanguard, and he also cherished this opportunity very much, and personally led his generals to rush to the front of the supervising team, beheaded a number of deserters, and after stabilizing his position, he took the lead and commanded the chariot to continue to move forward.

His subordinate generals had no choice but to follow desperately, and rushed for a while, but found that the "Ming army" seemed to be powerless, and it was close to the tea time since the last cannon, and the second cannon had not yet been heard.

At that moment, the Qing army was also much bolder, and it was not until they could clearly see the trench in front of the enemy that the "Ming army" slowly fired another cannon. Immediately afterwards, the fire guns on the opposite side also began to shoot, but the guns were not only extremely messy, but also sparse, and looked like they lacked training.

Geng Zhongming's lieutenant general was in front of him, listened carefully, and couldn't help but wonder: "General, I'm afraid that those defeated soldiers in Jianzhou are exaggerating, and their subordinates don't realize how fierce the firearms of the southerners are." ”

"Don't be careless!"

"General, my subordinates are willing to lead a team of men and horses to destroy the enemy!"

Although Geng Zhongming was afraid that the Ming army was deliberately showing weakness, he hoped that he could really break through the enemy formation and make a lot of achievements, so he only hesitated a little and nodded: "It's okay!" You take 3,000 men to take the Southern Army head-on! ”

He looked at the officer beside him again, "Yin Bin, you lead the bow and gunmen to help Zhang Xiang!"

"Li Congmin, led the cavalry to form a formation on the right flank, and if Zhang Xiang could break the enemy's formation, he would immediately cover and kill. If the southerners were too strong with firearms, they would detour to the north flank and try to disrupt the enemy position. ”

"The last general obeys!"

After a few people were ordered to leave, Geng Zhongming pulled him to his side and followed him personally, and said in a low voice: "Hu Bochun, go and take 3,000 people, only stay in the center, in case the war is unfavorable...... It's up to you to cut it off. ”

"Yes! Take care, General! ”

……

Cui Hemian looked at the hundreds of cars in front of him like moving city walls, couldn't help wiping away the cold sweat from his forehead, and subconsciously shouted in his mouth, "Haircracker!" Haircracker! From time to time, his eyes looked behind him.

Mader's warlords were still standing in place, and they didn't seem to hear the rumbling cannons at all.

However, Choi Hemian knew that as long as someone dared to retreat, these Heavenly Dynasty soldiers would never be relentless, and sixty or seventy Korean soldiers who dared to retreat had been killed by them.

Soon, the enemy's wagon had reached a distance of more than ten paces from the trench, and then repeated drums sounded, and three or four thousand captives came out from behind the wagon, and fired a burst of bows and guns at this side.

More than 100 people were killed by lead bullets in an instant, and dozens of others who were not shot fell to the ground and rolled in pain, and the entire formation was suddenly in chaos, and only less than 30 percent of the soldiers were still firing back.

Immediately afterwards, more armored foot soldiers poured out from behind the bows and guns of the Qing army, or carts or shoulders, pouring bags of earth and stones into the trenches. When the men pulled back, the archer fired another round.

After repeating this five or six times, the trench in front of the North Korean soldiers had been roughly filled in - the trench had been dug less than three feet, and if Geng Zhongming had not been cautious, it would not have been a problem to jump over directly.

The firearms and crossbows in the Qing army's array were suddenly stunned, and more than 100 chariots separated to both sides, among which a "Zhang" character military flag rushed out first, followed by 3,000 foot armor.

Cui He Mian was so frightened that he couldn't hold the knife, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard the guard next to him shout in surprise: "General, the war supervisor is gone!" ”

He looked back, and saw that there was nothing behind him, and the eight hundred soldiers of Master Ma had quietly left at some point.

He was relieved, turned his horse's head without saying a word, and ran away with his whip. The battle formation of the Korean army was already in chaos, and when he saw that the commander had fled, he immediately dropped his sword and fled.

Min Chengxiao's men and horses on the side only held on for a moment, and before Zhang Xiang could lead his troops to rush through the filled trench, they also broke up with a bang, but they ran faster than Cui Hemian's men.

Zhang Xianggang promised his soldiers that when they invaded the Ming army camp, they would be rewarded with three taels of silver each, but they had collapsed before their swords reached the southerners. He felt remorse in his heart, he knew that the southern army was so unbearable, why waste nearly 10,000 taels of silver.

The losses must be made up for with military merits! He immediately shouted, "Come with me!" "Rushed into the Korean rout first, slashed left and right, and bloodied all the way.

The cavalry of Li Congmin of the Qing army then rushed in, and under the swords and horses, the Korean soldiers were even more corpses all over the field, wailing and shaking the sky......

Geng Zhongming looked at the battle situation in front of him from afar, but he was stunned on the spot, and repeatedly muttered in his heart, no! This must be a trick of the Ming army, don't be fooled!

He hurriedly recruited Hu Bochun to lead the Chinese army into formation, and sent people to chase Zhang Xiang and Li Congmin, so that they could not chase after them.

At dinner time, Zhang Xiang and others returned. Geng Zhongming anxiously asked how their department was damaged, but had they ever been ambushed? Several captive generals all said that they had defeated the southern army and won countless victories.

After a while, casualties were reported one after another, and Zhang Xiang and others only killed 65 people and injured 120 people in their subordinates.

Only then did Geng Zhongming react that the "Ming Army" was really defeated. He slapped his thigh hard, "It's all because I was too careful and missed the opportunity...... Fast! First report to His Royal Highness Prince Yu! ”

……

Park Tae-shin didn't know how far he had run, and he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and hurriedly turned back to look, but saw that the person who came was quite familiar, and laughed loudly at the moment: "Haha, Min Seung-hyo, aren't you known as experienced in a hundred battles, why did you run so embarrassed?" ”

Min Chengxiao said angrily: "It's not your people who fled first, and it will cause our army to be in turmoil!" He glared at him again, "If you want to run, you can run much faster than the old man." ”

Hearing this, Park Tae-shin lifted the reins of his horse slightly, causing the mount to fall a few steps behind, and said proudly: "Look, you are running fast now." ”

"Humph! The old man is too lazy to pay attention to you, and he will accuse you of the crime of escaping in front of Lord Huima! ”

Park Tae-shin's eyelids jumped, and he said in his heart, he couldn't let this old guy take the lead, so he immediately whipped the horse hard......

At dawn the next day, the two fled to Jurong one after another, and it was not until they saw the Ming army flag fluttering on the defense line built a few days ago that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Ma! It's all because he didn't manage the army effectively, and he retreated without a fight! Min Seung-hyo knelt outside the tent and pointed to Park Tae-shin and Choi Ho on the side, "The last general has few soldiers, and he is surrounded by tens of thousands of Hulu, it is really difficult to ...... enemy."
