After this battle, Guo Dajing learned a lot. He not only learned about Jianlu's combat power, but also got a glimpse of the enemy's weaknesses.
Quietly returning from his hiding place, Guo Dajing walked towards the place where the wounded soldiers were. Both experience and lessons were gained in blood.
The Dongjiang Army was able to grow to this extent and persist in Liaodong for such a long time. It is unknown how many people and horses were wrapped in leather and even their bones were buried in the green mountains.
If you save one more person, you will be able to regenerate a warrior with just one point of strength.
He has saws and knives ready; the same goes for the soldering iron; coupled with his needle and thread, although cruel and terrifying, it is a real technology in this era.
…………………..
As night fell, the moonlight fell coldly, and the exhausted and defeated Jianlu troops retreated, not far from Yizhou.
In just over an hour, we will be able to return to Yiju City. Niulu Erzhen Bahari glanced at the corpse on the horse, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
More than 600 cavalry were dispatched with great force, pursuing like the wind, but they met with such a tragic end when they returned. Not only the general was killed, but also more than half of the men and horses were lost. The sharp contrast between the front and the back makes people sad and sad.
A heavy sigh sounded next to him, and without turning his head to look, Bahari had already recognized that it was Niulu Ezhenhani.
Both of them were experienced in many battles. Hani was more brave than him, but in his opinion, he was reckless and brainless.
Despite this, under the same circumstances, the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother. The two of them should be equally sad and angry.
Perhaps the adults were too impatient and impulsive, which ultimately led to this result. If the defense of Uiju was the main task, they would not rush to send troops and pursue light cavalry.
But the man is already dead, so it's useless to say anything. Bahari and Hani will probably be punished as well. The depression of defeat hangs over their hearts, not to mention how uncomfortable they are.
At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up in the woods nearby. Although it was very weak, Jianlu noticed it and shouted a warning.
More fire spots lit up in the forest, followed by the roar of muskets. Flames burst from the muzzle one after another, lead bullets shot out, and a canopy of arrows also shot from the other side.
"Dismount and fight." Bahari reacted quickly. Realizing that he was being ambushed, he rolled off his horse and directed his men to counterattack.
This was where the road was narrow. Jianlu, who was depressed and physically exhausted, didn't realize it in advance. It was not far from Yiju, and the feeling of returning home soon made Jianlu relax involuntarily.
The first round of musket and bow and arrow attacks killed and wounded dozens of Jianlu. When the Jianlu reacted, the attack from the forest had no great effect.
Hani roared and rushed into the woods with his soldiers. The anger in his heart finally found a place to vent. He was eager to chop off the enemy's head and release the pent-up pent up in his heart in the splatter of blood and flesh.
The bright spot of the match rope, the flame spitting out from the musket, is an excellent target in the dark.
Ah - the soldier next to him suddenly let out a scream and stopped abruptly, but his body still moved forward under the influence of inertia and fell to the ground in a strange posture.
Although Hani has a bad temper and a reckless personality, he has rich combat experience. Although the forest is dim and his vision is unclear, he can quickly judge that there is a trap on the ground.
Ah! Another of his men fell down screaming, covering his feet and wailing.
"Stop moving forward, there are traps on the ground." Honey howled loudly, feeling even more depressed.
What kind of enemies are these? They are just engaging in these despicable and shameless plots. The dignified Jianzhou warriors cannot kill the enemy face to face, but they often fall into this insidious method.
The muskets rang out again, but the Jianlu did not dare to pursue them fiercely, nor did they dare to light torches to expose their targets, so they could only fight back with bows and arrows.
Gradually, the muskets and bows and arrows in the forest stopped firing, and vague human figures swayed and gradually disappeared.
The enemy escaped?! After a long while, Jianlu cautiously moved forward to search, and finally made sure.
Under the light of the torch, Jianlu discovered the trap on the ground.
The sharp tip of the spear is hidden in the soft snow. If you don't look carefully, it is not easy to find it even in the daytime.
Hani slashed several times with his machete, howled like a wolf several times into the depths of the forest, and turned around with a livid face.
There are certainly not many such traps, but who knows how many there are? As long as fear arises in the heart, the enemy's goal will be achieved.
Moreover, the enemy has already escaped, so it is meaningless for Jianlu to go to great lengths to find and destroy the trap.
The Jianlu suffered this setback. Although the casualties were not large, the blow to morale was heavy. Of course, they also increased their vigilance, slowed down, and continued to march towards Yizhou.
Two or three miles away, deep in the mountain forest, the attackers kept returning and gathered in the leeward camp, gathering around the fire to keep warm and discuss.
Every time a dog is slaughtered for justice, this sentence applies not only to China, but also to many countries and nations.
When the country is in crisis, or when the homeland is devastated by war, those who rise up to fight are mostly officers, soldiers, or ordinary people at the bottom.
But those "meat eaters", including feudal monarchs and ministers, as well as wealthy gentry, rarely have that kind of blood.
The Jianlu invaded the DPRK, indiscriminately attacking cities, looting territory, and indiscriminate killings wherever they went. The Korean army also retreated steadily. However, the rebel forces resisting the Jianlu continued to emerge and became more and more active.
There are Zheng Fengshou and Baek Zongnan in Yizhou; there are eighteen warriors including Huangshan Li in Longgang; there are gold tools in Tieshan, Lin Baobian in Cishan, Jinyou, Zhang Lin and Li Zhongjie brothers in Longchuan, Hong Longhai and Min Hu in Maoluoshan.
There are self-recruited armies organized by others; there are also volunteers stationed at Jianshan Mountain in Xuanchuan, Cisheng Mountain in Dingzhou and other places.
There is also the "Revenge Army" composed of Jin Liangyan in Dingzhou, which recruits more than 500 family members of those who died in the Battle of Shenhe to help defend Anzhou; in Pyongyang, there are former judge Jin Junde, young school Li Qiye, Jin Kenian, and Wenke Zhiwen
Li Yu, the volunteers organized by the gentry such as You Xue Jin Zai Jie, etc.
Among them, many Korean volunteer teams took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to deal with the rebels and constantly harassed and attacked them. Almost all of them successfully defended their hometowns and even achieved impressive results.
But in the end, due to the cowardice of the North Korean ruling class and fear of death, they humiliated the peace talks with the Jianlu, and the rebels failed to fundamentally change the situation of the war.
The volunteers who had just attacked the Jianlu Brigade were recruited and led by Zheng Fengshou. There were only a few hundred in number, including Cui Mengliang, Li Xun, Fujino Masa and others who broke out from Yizhou, as well as more than a hundred musketeers.
.
This Zheng Fengshou was not an ordinary commoner. He was a military general and had made military exploits in the Imchen War.
Calculating this, Zheng Fengshou is already in his forties or fifties. It is not surprising that at such an age, he behaves steadily.
The same was true for Zheng Fengshou. He took Longgushan City, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, as his base and only led a few hundred elite troops to wait for an opportunity to attack Jianlu near Yizhou City.
