Chapter 1072 Nanhan Mountain City
Hauge adopted Sony's suggestion, and this is the only chance for the Qing army right now.

The Qing army can only have a chance of life if they fortify the walls and clear the fields, stick to the dangerous points, and wait for the Wei army to retreat after the supply is exhausted.

In order to prolong the Wei army's food road, Hauge decided to abandon North Korea and Pyongyang and retreat to the south.

For this reason, he sent the Eight Banners of North Korea to resist day by day, delay time, and lure the Wei army to go deep.

He led the Qing soldiers to plunder food all the way and retreat to the south.

Hauge's plan, to put it simply, is that he fled to the south and stood firm, while the North Korean Eight Banners took advantage of their familiarity with the geography to stay behind.

This can be regarded as the cooperation between the frontal battlefield and the enemy's rear battlefield, which made Wei Jun fall into the muddy mess of the Korean war. In the end, he felt that it was not worthwhile and withdrew from North Korea.

It has to be said that Hauge's plan is not without chance.

It's just that the level of the North Korean army is as stable as ever. The North Korean army who was ordered to stop the Wei army readily accepted Hauge's military order, and then surrendered to Wei without hesitation.

……

To the south of Pyongyang City, Hauge rode on horseback, the road was crowded with Qing soldiers and their families, and soldiers pushed grain carts, blocking the road.

At this time, there were more than [-] people in the Qing army, half of them were from the Eight Banners of Korea, and the other half were from 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 [-] Qing army and the [-] Qing army.

In order to block the Wei army, Hauge left [-] Korean Eight Banners in the north to harass the Wei army, while he took [-] Manchurian Eight Banners and withdrew to the south.

At this time, the family members of the Eight Banners, supporting the old and the young, the harem concubines, princes and ministers were driving in cars, and the team marched silently. 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 the houses down.

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

Inside and outside the city, the road was full of crying. Helpless North Korean people sat slumped and patted the ground, crying loudly. Women and children in thin clothes, shivering from the cold, wiped their eyes and cried, while running out of thick smoke billowing village.

Hauge turned a blind eye to the plight of the Koreans. In order to resist the Wei army, these were all necessary means, and he never felt guilty.

When Gao Yihuan attacked the south of Henan to defend against the Qing soldiers, didn't he often set fires to fortify the walls and clear the fields?

Gao Yihuan can attack his own people, but Hauge thinks that what he did to the North Koreans is nothing at all.

Compared with Liaodong and Guannei, Hauge has been quite merciful in this battle.

Sonny followed Hauge on horseback, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, when the Wei army entered North Korea, not to mention the army supplies, but hundreds of thousands of refugees, that's enough for them."

Hauge nodded slightly: "Gao Yihuan has always been hypocritical, I really want to see if he saves or not."

Sony said: "If Gao Yihuan is rescued, the food and grass will be consumed faster. If he doesn't save him, he won't be able to sell people's hearts. This servant sees Gao Yihuan as very difficult!"

Hearing the words, Hauge rarely showed a smile on his face, and at this moment, a group of cavalry hurriedly galloped from behind and caught up with Hauge.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, Wei Jun is catching up!" Urging the leader, he tightened the reins and hurriedly reported.

"What?" Hauge's face changed instantly, his body was so shocked that he swayed on the horse, and he almost vomited blood and fell off the horse. He managed to stabilize his body and couldn't help roaring, "Why so fast, where are the Eight Banners of Korea?"

Strictly speaking, the task Hauge entrusted to the Eight Banners of Korea was not difficult. They did not ask them to resist the Wei army desperately, but only let them block them a little, then retreated to the east mountain forest, let the Wei army pass through, and then went out of the mountain forest to harass the Wei army's rear.

Hauge expected that the North Korean army was unreliable, and some people might rebel, but it is unlikely that all eight banners will rebel at once, and as long as one or two banners do not rebel, Wei Jun will be threatened behind him.

"Your Majesty, they must have surrendered." Sony asked the scouts in a deep voice, "How many people from the Wei army have come, and how far is it from here?"

"Nearly [-] cavalry have arrived in the northern suburbs of Pyongyang, more than [-] miles away!" The scout said in panic, "The forward of the Wei army defeated Zhenghongqi behind and is now chasing south."

Thirty miles arrived in the blink of an eye, and Sony was in a hurry: "Your Majesty, please abandon the luggage and move south quickly!"

Hauge's face was ferocious, and he didn't speak. He just clamped his horse's belly and galloped south.

Seeing this, Sony immediately yelled: "Don't take what you shouldn't take, and burn what you can't take away, hurry up and follow!"

……

On the road from Pyongyang to Seoul, all kinds of vehicles were discarded at will, and the supplies in the trucks were set on fire, igniting raging flames.

A group of Qing soldiers was setting fire, and a large group of Wei troops from the north suddenly came galloping.

"Wei Jun is coming, run!" The Qing army who set fire to it screamed and ran wildly.

"Kill!" The cavalry of the Wei army roared, and the horses galloped up to catch up with the Qing army. The saber fell from behind and killed the fleeing Qing army to the ground.

The Qing army retreating to the south was hunted down by the Wei army and the horse army. They chased from Pyongyang to Seoul.

Hauge was about to enter Seoul, but the Qing army stationed in Seoul had already run south, Hauge did not dare to enter Seoul, and continued to run to Namhansan City.

More than ten years ago, when Bingzi was in disorder, the Qing army besieged the Joseon King Li Ji here, and finally forced the desperate King of Joseon to leave the city to surrender, and gave Huang Taiji three kneelings and nine kowtows.

Hauge, who had gone astray and had nowhere to go, also got into this city.

Almost at the same time that the Qing army went up the mountain, the forwards of the Wei army arrived under the mountain city, but the forwards were all cavalry, so they could only temporarily stop attacking.

More than [-] Qing troops and their families entered the mountain city. Hauge ordered the soldiers to stand firm, and at the same time sent messengers to break through and seek help from Geng Zhongming.

At the same time, Gao Yihuan led the main force to Hancheng in a mighty way, and soon led a large army to Nanhan Mountain City, blocked the surrounding roads, and surrounded the city with water.

……

In the military camp of Geng Zhongming in Jeolla Province, North Korea, Chang Adai, the son of Daishan, the county king, urgently stated to Geng Zhongming and other Han banner generals the crisis of the Southern Han Mountain City, and asked Geng Zhongming to send troops to share the pressure on the mountain city and rescue the mountain city.

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

Although he repelled the Japanese attack, he heard that the Tokugawa shogunate was going to send troops, and it would be useless to continue fighting, so he took a boat to North Korea to preside over the defense of Jeolla Province.

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

When Chang Adai left, Geng Zhongming frowned and asked: "The emperor was besieged, and he ordered me to serve as king, what do you think?"

"My lord, the army of Wei is 20, we will die in the past, we must not go!" Someone said immediately.

Geng Zhongming thought it was right, but he still hesitated and said, "But the imperial decree has arrived."

"Then we can only pretend that the imperial decree has not arrived!" Geng Zhaozhong said ferociously
Geng Zhongming narrowed his eyes, revealing a murderous look.
