Hauge took Sony's advice, and this was the only chance for the Qing army at the moment.

The Qing army only had a glimmer of life if it was strong and cleared the wilderness, held on to the dangers, and waited for the Wei army to retreat from the army.

In order to lengthen the grain routes of the Wei army, Hauge decided to abandon northern Korea and Pyongyang and retreat to the south.

To this end, he sent the Eight Banners of Korea to resist step by step, delay time, lure the Wei army deeper, and at the same time use their familiarity with the terrain to attack the Wei army's grain route from the rear after the Wei army entered Korea.

He led the Qing army to plunder grain all the way and retreated to the south.

Hauge's plan, to put it simply, was that he fled to the south and held on, while the Korean Eight Banners took advantage of his familiarity with geography and stayed in the rear.

This can be regarded as the cooperation between the frontal battlefield and the battlefield behind enemy lines, so that the Wei army fell into the mud of war in Korea, and finally felt that it was not cost-effective and withdrew from Korea.

I have to say that Hauge's plan is really implemented, and it is not without a chance.

It's just that the level of the Korean army, as always, is stable, and the Korean army that was ordered to block the Wei army gladly accepted Haoge's military order, and then surrendered to the Great Wei without hesitation.

……

South of Pyongyang, Hauge rode on horseback, and the road was crowded with Qing soldiers and dependents, and soldiers pushed grain carts to cover the road.

At this time, the Qing army supplied more than 40,000 people, half of which were the Eight Banners of Korea, and the other half were the Eight Banners of the Manchu, Han and Mongolian tribes.

In the face of the superior strength of the Wei army, there is actually no difference between the 40,000 Qing army and the 10,000 Qing army.

In order to hinder the Wei army, Haoge left 20,000 Korean Eight Banners in the north to harass the Wei army, and he withdrew to the south with 10,000 Manchurian Eight Banners.

At this time, the families of the Eight Banners, the old and the young, the harem concubines, the princes and ministers rode in cars, the team marched silently, and the Qing soldiers of the brigade rushed down the road from time to time, rushed to the villages on both sides, drove the residents out, and burned down the houses with a fire.

Behind the Qing army, the outline of Pyongyang City was faintly visible, and thick smoke billowed inside and outside the city, and columns of smoke rose into the sky.

Inside and outside the city, the roads were full of cries, helpless North Koreans sat paralyzed and patted on the ground, wailing and crying, and women and children shivering from the cold in thin clothes wiped their eyes and wept as they ran out of the smoke-filled villages.

Hauge turned a blind eye to the miserable situation of the Koreans, and in order to resist the Wei army, it was a necessary means, and he never felt guilty.

Back then, in order to resist the Qing Dynasty soldiers, Gao Yihuan attacked southern Henan, didn't he often set fires to the wall.

Gao Yihuan can do it to his own people, and Hauge feels that he is nothing to do this to the North Koreans.

Compared with the time when he was in Liaodong and Guannei, Haoge was already quite merciful.

Sonny rode a horse and followed Hauge's side, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, when the Wei army enters Korea, not to mention the supply of the army, let's say that hundreds of thousands of refugees are enough for them." ”

Haoge bowed slightly: "Gao Yihuan has always been hypocritical and righteous, and I want to see whether he saves it or not." ”

Sonny said: "If Gao Yihuan is saved, the grain and grass will be consumed faster, if he doesn't save it, he won't be able to sell people's hearts." The slave is very embarrassed to see Gao Yihuan! ”

When Hauge heard this, a rare smile appeared on his face, and at this moment, a group of cavalry galloped from behind and caught up with Hauge.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Wei army has caught up!" urged the leader, tightened the reins of the horse, and reported urgently.

"What?" Hauge instantly changed color, his body shook on the horse in shock, and he almost vomited blood and fell off the horse, he barely stabilized his body, and couldn't help roaring loudly, "Why is it so fast, North Korean Eight Banners?" ”

Strictly speaking, the task that Haoge gave to the Eight Banners of Korea was not arduous, and he did not require them to desperately resist the Wei army, but only asked them to block it slightly, and then retreated to the east of the mountains and forests, let the Wei army pass, and then went out of the mountains and forests to attack the rear of the Wei army.

Hauge expected that the Korean army was unreliable, and there might be people who would mutiny, but it was unlikely that the eight banners would rebel all at once, and as long as one or two banners did not rebel, the Wei army would be threatened behind them.

"Your Majesty, they must have descended." Sonny asked the scout in a deep voice, "How many people are there from the Wei army, and how far is it from here?" ”

"There are nearly 10,000 cavalry, and they have reached the northern outskirts of Pyongyang, according to which they are more than 30 miles!" The scout said in horror, "The Wei army has defeated the Zhenghongqi behind and is chasing south. ”

Thirty miles arrived in the blink of an eye, and Sonny was anxious: "Your Majesty, please throw away your baggage and retreat south quickly!" ”

Hauge's face was hideous, and he didn't speak, but just grabbed the horse's belly and galloped south.

Seeing this, Sony immediately shouted: "Don't bring what you shouldn't bring, burn what you can't take away, hurry up and keep up!" ”

……

On the road from Pyongyang to Seoul, all kinds of vehicles were discarded at random, and truckloads of supplies were ignited, igniting a raging flame.

A group of Qing soldiers was setting fires, and a large Wei army in the north suddenly galloped in.

"The Wei army is here, run!" The Qing army, who set the fire, shouted in surprise and ran wildly.

"Kill!" The Wei cavalry roared, and the war horses galloped up, catching up with the Qing army, and the war knives were chopped down from behind, chopping the fleeing Qing army to the ground.

The Qing army, which evacuated to the south, was chased by the Wei army and the horse army, and chased from Pyongyang to Seoul.

Haoge saw that he was about to enter Seoul, but who knew that the Qing army stationed in Seoul had already run south, and Hauge did not dare to enter Seoul and continued to run to South Hansan Fortress.

More than 10 years ago, when Bingzi was in chaos, the Qing army surrounded the Joseon king Li Liang here, and finally forced the desperate Joseon king to surrender out of the city, and gave Huang Taiji three kneels and nine bows.

Hauge, who is now on the wrong path, has also entered the city.

Almost at the same time as the Qing army went up the mountain, the Wei army advanced under the mountain city, but the forwards were all cavalry, so they could only temporarily stop the attack.

More than 10,000 Qing troops and their dependents entered the mountain city, and Haoge ordered his soldiers to hold on, and sent messengers to break through the siege and go to Geng Zhongming for help.

At the same time, Gao Yihuan led the main force to Seoul, and soon led a large army to the southern Hansan Fortress, blocking the surrounding roads and surrounding the city.

……

In Jeolla Province, North Korea, in Geng Zhongming's military camp, Chang Adai, the son of Daiseon, hurriedly stated to Geng Zhongming and other Han banner generals the crisis of the mountain city of Namhan, and asked Geng Zhongming to send troops to share the pressure of the mountain city and rescue the mountain city.

When Geng Zhongming evacuated from Shandong, the north wind blew to Japan, occupied an island, and later fought a battle with the Japanese army of Satsuma and Choshu.

Although he repelled the Japanese attack, he heard that the Tokugawa shogunate was going to send troops and that it would be no good to continue fighting, so he took a ship to Korea and presided over the defense of Jeolla Province.

After Geng Zhongming listened, his face was gloomy, and he casually dealt with Chang Adai and asked him to take him to rest.

Waiting for Chang Ah Dai to leave, Geng Zhongming frowned and asked, "The emperor is besieged, and he ordered me to be the king, what do you think?" ”

"Lord Wang, the Wei army is 200,000, we used to be sent to death, and we can't go!" There was humanity immediately.

Geng Zhongming thought so, but still hesitated: "But the holy decree has arrived." ”

"Then it can only be as if the holy decree has not arrived!" Geng Zhaozhong said hideously

Geng Zhongming's eyes narrowed, revealing a murderous aura.
