Chapter 358 Li Hao was killed in battle, the Eight Banners were destroyed
Eight Banners cavalry under the cover of artillery in Beicheng, Pyongyang.
They rushed out of the north gate of Pyongyang City.
Dorgon rode forward quickly on his horse, holding a long bow in his hand, aiming at the commander of the new Korean army.
The arrow missed and was shot out with great speed and accuracy, directly piercing the armor of Ri Shiqi, the commander-in-chief of the North Korean New Army.
After Li Shiqi was hit by an arrow, his mind flashed back to his previous experience.
As usual, he pretended to command the soldiers to attack the city.
They don't have to actually attack the city, but they still have to pretend.
In this way, after the war is over, the North Korean king Li Hao will also have a certain say and gain some benefits.
He saw a large group of Eight Banners soldiers rushing out of Pyongyang.
When Li Shiqi saw this situation, he was stunned and forgot to direct the soldiers to arrange their troops.
They were not prepared to attack in the first place, and the North Korean New Army's military discipline was poor and their formation was very scattered.
Some soldiers had muskets that were not even loaded with lead bullets.
Li Shiqi realized that he was about to direct the soldiers to form a formation.
Suddenly he felt a pain in his chest. An arrow flying from the opposite military formation had hit him.
Li Shiqi could feel the condition of his body. He was breathing hard. His lungs must have been shot through and he could no longer survive.
"Shura Martial God"
He used all his strength and shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat quickly."
The Eight Banners soldiers are coming fiercely, and these new North Korean troops who have not been trained well will certainly not be able to resist them.
What we need to do now is to withdraw from the battlefield immediately.
Put these real Tatars in the hands of the Chinese army.
Li Shiqi only shouted this, and he could no longer speak.
My lips were open, but no sound came out.
He fell off his horse, twitched a few times and then became motionless.
The new North Korean troops around him saw this situation.
He immediately became panicked and kept shouting loudly: "The general is dead."
When other new Korean troops heard the news, they immediately fled in all directions.
When Dorgon saw the situation of the new North Korean army, a smile appeared on his face.
His choice was indeed correct. The new North Korean army was weak and vulnerable.
When the Eight Banners soldiers saw this situation, they became more confident.
The myth that the Eight Banners are invincible is back again.
They clamped their horses' bellies and charged towards the position of the North Korean New Army.
They want to immediately expand their results and directly tear apart the defense line of the North Korean New Army.
…………………………
The king of Korea, Li Hao, heard shouts of killing coming from outside the camp.
There were also sparse sounds of musketry.
He immediately put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, and saw the panic-stricken leader Jin Dazhong.
"What happened? How could I hear it? There were shouts of death everywhere outside the camp."
Jin Dazhong said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, something big has happened.
The Eight Banners soldiers came out of Pyongyang City, and our army was simply unable to resist them."
When Li Hao, the king of Korea, heard the news, he immediately felt relieved.
"Don't worry, we have the most powerful artillery regiment of the Dahua Army behind us.
It is also very close to the Dahua military formation, and reinforcements will arrive soon to support us."
The king of Korea, Li Hao, was not worried at all.
Li Dazhuang, Duke Cao of Dahua, had already told him about this situation in advance.
And teach them what to do if they encounter such a thing?
Jin Dazhong's expression did not recover, and he shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, look at the artillery regiment of the Dahua Army, are they reacting now?
Under normal circumstances, before the Eight Banners soldiers rushed to our military formation.
The artillery regiment of the Dahua Army will fire artillery to support our army.
With the support of artillery fire, our army formed a stable formation to resist the attack of the Eight Banners soldiers.
As long as they can block the Eight Banners' offensive, reinforcements from the Dahua Army will arrive soon.
Now there is no response from the Dahua army, and the artillery regiment did not fire to stop the Eight Banners soldiers.
I estimate that the reinforcements will come very slowly, and they may even be late after we are all killed."
The king of North Korea, Li Hao, listened to what Jin Dazhong said.
He said belatedly: "What Mr. Jin means is that the Dahua army wants to see us die here.
They want to annex our Li family's property.
The hateful Dahua Dynasty, the shameful Su He, the hateful Li Dazhuang."
The king of North Korea, Li Hao, didn't know much about swearing. He used what he thought were the most vicious words to scold the Chinese Dynasty.
The king of Korea, Li Hao, secretly hated himself for not seeing clearly the evil intentions of the Great China Dynasty.
He has summoned a ferocious tiger to drive away the jackals.
Combined with Jin Dazhong's statement, there are reasonable explanations for the abnormal behavior of Li Dazhuang, the Duke of Cao Kingdom of Great China along the way.
The king of North Korea, Li Hao, had previously felt that Dahua's reaction was strange.
They are not at all consistent with the image of heaven in their hearts.
It turned out to be the Great China Dynasty, which wanted to annex them.
"Kill, whoever dares to stand in the way, kill them all."
A white-armored soldier with several ordinary Eight Banners cavalry had already rushed to the central camp of the North Korean New Army.
The front army of the North Korean New Army collapsed too quickly, and a large number of soldiers fled in all directions.
The white-armored soldiers saw the handsomely dressed Korean King Li Hao.
He didn't know who this man was, but he had been at war with Ming Dynasty all year round.
People who know how to dress like this are usually the commander-in-chief of an army.
The North Korean system was modeled on that of the Ming Dynasty, and he estimated that the two armies were similar.
As usual, such a big fish must be captured.
But today's situation is special. The Prince Regent specifically stated that there is no need to take prisoners in this battle, and everyone encountered will be killed.
Their mission is to kill the new North Korean army before dark.
The white-armored soldiers on horseback quickly caught up with the Korean king Li Hao and the Korean leader Jin Dazhong.
He struck down with two knives in succession, and two heads flew into the sky.
The king of Korea, Li Hao, and the leader of Korea, Jin Dazhong, died at the hands of an unknown soldier of the Eight Banners.
…………………………
Pan Hongcai saw the hot air balloon above the artillery regiment and the flags waved by the scouts.
This hot air balloon is usually used for artillery calibration.
At this moment, it is used to observe the situation on the entire battlefield.
"The Eight Banners soldiers have rushed to the center of the Korean New Army.
They are mixed up with the North Korean New Army. Even if they want to evacuate, it will take a long time.
All artillery units were calibrated to target the area near the camp of the Central Army of the Korean New Army, and each gun fired freely.
The machine gunners prepare to meet the enemy."
Pan Hongcai's order was issued, and the artillery had already adjusted the artillery firing coordinates.
They immediately pulled the gun rope, and the cannon began to roar.
The machine gunners at the artillery position were all hiding behind the iron box trucks.
The iron box cars were connected end to end, forming a large circle to protect the artillery regiment.
The machine gun has been loaded with ammunition and can be fired at any time by pulling the trigger.
Tan Fangyuan and Cui Xiuzhu heard the sound of the artillery regiment firing.
This is the signal to attack.
They left half of their troops behind to block the city of Pyongyang to prevent them from falling into the trap of building slaves and fleeing the country.
Take the remaining half of the army to immediately support Beicheng.
There were a large number of hot air balloons floating on the battlefield. They observed the situation on the battlefield and pointed out the direction for the Dahua army.
…………………………
Dorgon led the Eight Banners soldiers and easily rushed into the center of the North Korean New Army.
As long as they kill the rear army, they can escape from the battlefield of Pyongyang City.
Dorgon has already planned the subsequent escape route.
He believed that by following this route, it was very possible to escape and ascend to heaven.
Dorgon now regrets coming to North Korea. It seems like a beautiful place, but the enemy is too powerful.
He might as well escape to the north with Yue Tuo.
The vast forest to the north has more room for movement.
If they are really defeated and go deep into the mountains and forests, the Dahua army will not be able to deal with it.
Unlike here on the Korean Peninsula, the terrain is long and narrow and faces the sea on three sides.
There was no advantage at the beginning, and every subsequent step was very difficult.
Dorgon realized that something was not right with him on the battlefield, so how could he think so wildly?
There was no room for distraction on the battlefield, and he immediately thought of the reason for the distraction, which was that the progress was going too smoothly.
He was not surprised at all by attacking the North Korean New Army and achieving this result.
But during his battle, the Dahua army showed no response. This was completely different from the Dahua army in his impression.
He looked at a small dot floating in the sky in the distance.
This is the hot air balloon of the Dahua Army. It can monitor the situation on the entire battlefield.
The Dahua army can see the entire battle situation, but they have no reaction now. They must be waiting for something?
"No, I fell into the trap, and I turned out to be the butcher's knife in the hands of the Great China Dynasty.
The Dahua Dynasty wants to use my hand to destroy the North Korean New Army, they are so cruel."
As soon as Dorgon thought of this, he heard a whistling sound coming from his ears.
He didn't quite understand this voice before, but he has become very familiar with it these days.
This is the scream of the heavy artillery shells of the Dahua army flying in the air.
Dorgon shouted loudly: "Everyone avoid the shells immediately."
He saw explosions coming one after another around him.
A large number of artillery shells, including heavy artillery shells.
A single shot can blast a foot-deep hole into even frozen ground.
The Eight Banners soldiers and the North Korean New Army fought together, and they were indiscriminately bombarded by the artillery regiment of the Dahua Army.
"Regent."
"Master Belle."
Dorgon heard several shouts, and then he felt several people throwing him to the ground.
Dorgon felt a sweet sensation in his throat and spit out a mouthful of blood.
He smelled the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.
Push hard to push away the person pressing on you.
I saw blood dripping from their bodies.
These people have been killed by shells in order to protect themselves.
Dorgon saw his beloved horse lying on the ground, neighing continuously, and it was obvious that it was not alive.
Dorgon held his bow, rode the horse of his own soldiers, and joined other soldiers.
He saw that the formation of the Eight Banners soldiers was somewhat scattered after enduring this round of shelling.
Dorgon shouted directly: "Everyone maintains formation, continues to charge forward, and must not stop.
If you stop here, you will encounter a larger bombardment."
He saw that his shouts were completely covered by the explosions on the battlefield, and few people could hear them.
Dorgon led his soldiers and charged forward.
Among his own soldiers, some served as flag bearers and held up the flag.
The handsome flag moves directly forward.
A large number of Eight Banners soldiers saw Shuai Qi's actions, and they immediately formed a backbone and followed Shuai Qi's actions.
The Eight Banners soldiers faced a large amount of artillery fire and quickly penetrated the rear of the Korean New Army.
Dorgon had already seen the Dahua Artillery Regiment surrounded by iron boxes.
In his position, he was too close to the artillery shells, and the heavy artillery could no longer play a big role.
There is a range far beyond that of muskets, so it is safer.
Dorgon first sent a group of Eight Banners soldiers to test the artillery regiment.
Now riding away, the remaining Eight Banners soldiers will have to experience another bombing.
If you attack the Dahua Artillery Regiment, the cost will be smaller than the cost of being bombed.
Dorgon chose to attack Dahua's artillery regiment.
He saw a group of 500 cavalrymen attacking the artillery regiment.
Waiting for them is the machine gun behind the iron box truck.
The machine guns fired repeatedly, and the five hundred cavalrymen fell to the ground one after another without holding on to the incense.
When Dorgon saw this situation, he shook his head directly.
The artillery regiment of the Dahua Army had too much firepower, and there was no way they could capture it in a short time.
"The formation dispersed, we rushed over directly."
Dorgon ordered the Eight Banners soldiers to disperse their formation and reduce the density of the team.
In this way, a single shell will not take away dozens of people, which can reduce the casualties of the army.
Dorgon clamped his horse's belly and immediately charged towards the northwest.
Following his lead, the Eight Banners soldiers followed Dorgon and rushed directly to the northwest.
Dorgon saw that artillery shells fell into the military formation from time to time.
Every time a shell falls, it takes away the lives of several Eight Banners soldiers.
Every time Dorgon heard the explosion, his heart twitched.
If these people escape, they will all be the seeds of the Eight Banners, and every Eight Banners disciple is very precious.
The number of artillery shells falling on the military formation gradually decreased, and Dorgon knew that they had escaped and ascended to heaven.
Dorgon dismounted and comforted the very tired horse.
He led the war horse and continued walking northwest.
Other Eight Banners soldiers also made the same choice as Dorgon to save their horsepower.
The Eight Banners soldiers led their horses and crossed the hills ahead.
Dorgon looked at the scene ahead, his expression suddenly serious.
A great Chinese army is waiting grimly.
Tan Fangyuan smiled when he saw the exhausted Eight Banners soldiers.
"I heard that there are sea greens in the grassland tribes, which can observe the enemy's movements.
I guess it's not as effective as a hot air balloon.
We deployed a large number of hot air balloons around the battlefield.
Every move of the Eight Banners soldiers can be seen clearly.
Thank you Dorgon for the military merit."
Tan Fangyuan gave an order to the soldiers of the 1st Division of the 7th Army who had been waiting here for a long time.
They held rifles and charged at the Eight Banners soldiers.
When Dorgon saw this situation, he knew there was no way to escape today.
People like them will not end well if they surrender.
Dorgon took a long knife and got on his horse.
"Get on your horse and charge with me."
Dorgon rode a war horse and led the Eight Banners soldiers to charge towards the First Division.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Continuous gunfire.
Several blood flowers bloomed on Dorgon's chest.
The long knife in his hand fell off the horse and he died completely.
The battle ended quickly.
Tan Fangyuan looked at the dead bodies of the Eight Banners all over the ground, and he ordered: "Use the squad as a unit, check all the dead bodies, and give those who are not dead a touch up.
All these corpses were burned in a fire."
Tan Fangyuan suddenly felt relaxed all over.
These Eight Banners soldiers who ran out of Pyongyang City are already the most elite Eight Banners soldiers in Pyongyang City.
The destruction of these Eight Banners soldiers would mean the complete destruction of the Eight Banners on the Korean battlefield.
