Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 604
The surging Ming army directly flooded Incheon County and directly fell this small city.

North Korea is divided into eight roads, and the lower roads are prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, and counties. The areas of the four are similar, but there are differences in grades.

"How dare a county be called a county?"

Li Chengdong was very excited. He trampled on the city wall, looked at the surrendered North Korean soldiers and horses, and said, "This opportunity is not to be missed. The time will never come. At this time, we should go to Seoul quickly."

"Seoul is of course going."

Wu Sangui concealed his excitement, looking at the seaside, where there are still a large number of troops preparing to land.

Hundreds of ships were transported, and the conditions in Incheon were poor. It would take a day or two for tens of thousands of people to land.

"But the most important thing is Kaesong."

While talking, Wu Sangui thought of the emperor's micromanagement:
People are lost, people are lost.

Of those who landed in Incheon, one went to Seoul, and the other ambush in Kaesong, where they must pass when returning to the army, and wiped out the main force of the Qing Dynasty in North Korea.

"I'm going to Bishou Hall!" Wu Sangui looked at the rough map in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Three thousand cavalry, one man and two horses, will arrive in one day."

"Then I'll go to Seoul."

Li Chengdong looked helpless and could only respond like this.

Li Yingren, on the other hand, led part of the Ming army and North Korean troops to confront Luck Dehun in Kaesong.

Bi Ti Pavilion refers to the post station set up to welcome the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Bi Ti Pavilion is located near Gaoyang City, surrounded by mountains.

Its west side is the Huiyinling mountain area, and its east side is close to a hill. Looking from north to south, it is located in a narrow passage from the mountain to the plain. It can be said that it is the only way from Kaesong to Seoul.

When Li Rusong fought against [-] in the battle of Bi Ti Pavilion, he was almost defeated and died.

Naturally, Wu Sangui hoped that he could make great achievements here and kill Le Ke Dehun, so that he could truly gain a foothold in the Ming court, instead of being in an embarrassing situation like today.

However, it was already the third day after the Incheon incident after Luck Dehun received the letter from Seoul.

He was terrified when he received Hong Chengchou's letter.

Kaesong is located between Pyongyang and Seoul. If Seoul falls, the army will have no way out and can only wait to die.

In this way, he could only let people hold back the Ming army as much as possible, and he personally led the main force of the cavalry to go south to support Seoul.

It was early in the morning, and the fog filled the air, so Luck Dehun decided to stay on the spot to fill the stomachs of the soldiers who marched overnight.

As for the spies, he naturally sent some, but everyone was running for a long distance, tired and sleepy, and this was the way back, the chance of the enemy appearing was very small, so the spies were not careful.

Wu Sangui saw the tired and confused spies through the bushes, and said coldly: "It seems that Jiannu is exhausted and has lost his vigilance."

Feel relieved, ready to give him a good gift.

But to his disappointment, although Luc Dehun didn't detect the ambush in the Bitu Pavilion, his war instincts for many years made him wary of this ambush resort.

Simply, he changed his mind, there was Hong Chengchou in Seoul, so he had to guard for a few days, so he rested for now, and it would not be too late to leave tomorrow during the day.

In this way, they set up camp on the spot and did not choose to enter the valley.

Wu Sangui hated him greatly.

However, after all, the army rested for a long time and recovered a little energy.

"Eat and replenish your strength."

After an order, the cavalry responded one after another.

I saw that the cavalry first appeased the horse, took out horse grain powder from the left side of the horse's back, and began to feed.

Its horse rations are also military rations, mainly composed of bean dregs and wheat flour, mixed with salt, soybeans, etc., which can be said to be rich and varied.

This kind of grain diet can replenish the loss of the war horse very quickly, and the feeding can be completed in less than half an hour, and the war horse can be driven.

The horse, on the other hand, licked the flour on its palm affectionately, and began to eat big mouthfuls. The soldiers simply carried the grain bags and let them eat by themselves.
At this time, the rider also seized the time and took out the bag on the right, which was their staple food and also flour.

However, their flour is mainly wheat flour, with meat floss, dried fish, salt, sugar, and even sesame seeds added, which is full of chewiness.

In addition, if conditions permit, you only need to boil water and sprinkle with flour, and it will immediately become a sweet and sweet paste, which will whet your appetite.

Wu Sangui was no exception, he took it from his own soldiers, ate a sip of military rations, drank a sip of water, and within a short while, half a catty of military rations was eaten.

In the past, the meal size of two or three catties was full at this time.

Not only did it save time, but it also saved the burden of food. Until now, Wu Sangui was still amazed:
"With this ration, the war is half done."

Military rations not only contain fish, meat, and salt, but also sugar. Who would not strive for this?

After more than an hour, the meals and dinners were all ready.

Wu Sangui didn't talk too much, and directly led the army to the valley, killing the generals and coming out.

He deeply understands that a tired army can strengthen its spirits, while a tired army that has just slept for a while has only complaints and fatigue, and has no combat power at all.

Luck Dehun, who had just rested for a while, opened his red eyes and sat up directly: "What's going on?"

"Report, there is an enemy attack——"

"How many people? Where did they kill them?"

"It can't be seen clearly at night, but it was killed from the valley."

"There really is an ambush." ​​Luckard gritted his teeth and stood up directly: "Let the boys get up—"

The cavalry who forcibly interrupted their sleep had to get up, mount their horses and start to meet the enemy.

Wu Sangui took the lead, dressed in tight armor, and under the protection of his own soldiers, he was like an arrow flying from the string, fierce and unstoppable, and like a tiger descending the mountain, extremely ferocious.

The war horse, which had just been supplemented with nutrition, was extremely sturdy, with iron hooves everywhere, full of energy, and seemed fearless.

The simple barracks of the Qing army and the refusal of horses, and the well-prepared Ming army in this way, the huge barracks, no longer have any barriers.

At this time, the Qing army was like a woman who took off her coat, and what greeted her was wave after wave of charging and trampling.

Exhaustion, panic, and fear of the night made the barracks a little chaotic for a while.

Luck Dehun didn't expect the line of defense to be broken so easily, which made him have to cheer up and organize his team to defend.

It's a pity that Wu Sangui didn't intend to give him a chance. How could he easily let go of such a huge advantage?
"set fire--"

Flames can naturally cause panic, but for the enemy, it means victory and joy.

A large number of tents were lit, reflecting the panicked faces one by one, and the faces of the Ming army galloping on horseback were full of ferociousness.

Luck Dehun restrained the army, forcibly broke the siege of the Ming army, and rushed out quickly, at all costs.

After all, he was an elite of hundreds of battles. Under his flag waving, more than a thousand riders broke through and left the trampled camp.

"After all, they are the elite of Jiannu, why don't they enter the valley?" Wu Sangui let out a sigh of regret, and his smile gradually became brighter.
