Until the second day of the war, Sony was still very proud.
Although the offensive of the National Defense Force was very fierce and had been pushed to a place less than ten miles away from the city of Cangzhou, and the Qing army also suffered heavy losses, Cangzhou was still in his hands.
He thought about nothing but hoped that Hauge would arrive as soon as possible.
However, on the second night, the desperate messenger finally made him understand that it was not that the National Defense Forces were not capable of fighting, but that their calculations were too deep.
While the fighting outside Cangzhou City continued, other national defense forces advanced by leaps and bounds.
The Ninth Division concentrated its entire army, and under the command of Ning Weiping, it took only one day to capture Guangping Mansion.
After hearing the news, the Qing garrison general Gurma Hui rushed over to support him. As a result, he encountered the 22nd Regiment commanded by Xu Tiancheng, deputy commander of the Ninth Division, at the foot of Julu City.
The 22nd Regiment used 5,000 infantry to fight against Gurmahun's 2,000 infantry and 1,500 cavalry. The Qing army's corpses were scattered all over the field, and they were severely defeated.
Gurma Hui was killed on the spot. The Qing army was leaderless, and the remaining defeated troops fled north.
As a result, Shunde Mansion also fell into the hands of the Ninth Division.
The Dragoon Regiment arrived here one day in advance and built complete fortifications.
Lou Fu believed in his old partner so much that he led two main groups to attack Jinzhou that day, leaving the back to Le Xinfeng.
Even the army, due to serious payment arrears, was starved of food, had no combat effectiveness, and had no loyalty at all.
Prince Zhaoxian showed his last bit of filial piety, carefully restrained Li Zhu and ordered his burial. Then, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, he stood outside the city to welcome the arrival of the National Defense Forces.
The North Korean soldiers who followed his orders swarmed into the city, attacked key points and besieged the palace.
In order to realize their dream of unifying the Central Plains, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties moved most of their families into the Pass, leaving only the necessary strength in Liaodong.
Seeing the remaining Qing soldiers fleeing with his own eyes, Lou Fu waved his hand and the Fourth Division began to land.
The overwhelming artillery fire of the North Sea Fleet completely destroyed the simple fortifications on Huludao.
Hauge didn't know how many national defense troops there were in the rear, so he didn't dare to fight at all, so he quickly retreated at Fan Ji's suggestion.
Holding Prince Zhaoxian's sincerity in his hand, Bai Xiaoqi was very proud.
He left a suicide note, which contained extremely vicious words against Prince Zhaoxian and Lord Fenglin.
However, although dragoons are called cavalry, they are actually mounted infantry.
Hauge suffered a bloody head injury here and was unable to walk. Then he heard the bad news.
But an accident in another place was equivalent to blocking the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
The National Defense Force suddenly appeared outside Bazhou City in his rear, destroying all his logistics and food supplies.
The messenger sent by Prince Zhaoxian finally met Bai Xiaoqi.
On the flat, vast, endless plain, this group of Qing troops was surrounded and divided by the National Defense Force cavalry. In the end, only three people ran out, which was equivalent to the entire army being annihilated.
Sony felt cold all over after receiving the news.
The Fifth Division was responsible for the west coast, starting from Paju and heading straight to Pyongyang along the official road.
The fragrant rice brought tears to many people's eyes. So much so that when the training department subsequently selected soldiers, everyone signed up enthusiastically, showing great enthusiasm.
The Liaodong Strategic Cluster had been prepared for many days. With a single order, it rushed north like a tiger descending from the mountain.
However, in the eyes of the empire, this little power is full of loopholes.
The whole process was extremely smooth.
The 7th Division was responsible for the east coast. Starting from Cheorwon, it took the lead in meeting the rebels on Mount Kumgang, and then swept across Hamgyeong Province.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Wuwei, the Crown Prince and all the officials and people have unanimously decided to be loyal to the Upper Kingdom. We hope to follow the example of the South and merge with China. We sincerely request the Heavenly Army of the Upper Kingdom to immediately go north to restore Chinese orthodoxy and expel the Eastern barbarians."
Hauge had no choice but to attack by force.
As soon as they saw the menacing attack of the National Defense Forces, both generals and soldiers obediently put down their weapons and chose to surrender.
It seems that the problem of unpaid wages not only troubled the Ming Dynasty, but also troubled North Korea.
"Everyone, the time has come to end the war. The entire army is dispatched, targeting the Yalu River."
Prince Zhaoxian, who returned to his army, easily opened the gates of Pyongyang.
Behind these two divisions were eleven security divisions.
"Don't worry. I'm here, Tashan is here, not even a fly can get through."
Lou Fu began to break up with Le Xinfeng.
Six of them are responsible for maintaining public security in the northern parts of the peninsula, and the remaining five will follow the Fifth Division and the Seventh Division to cross the Yalu River and invade Liaodong.
"Lao Le, I will leave the blocking task to you. I will successfully capture Jinzhou. Remember, no Qing army will be allowed to run back to Liaodong."
In addition, to the east of the battlefield is the swampy Desheng Lake, and to the west is the Yudai River, which has swollen due to continuous heavy rains.
Because the distance was too far about the changes that occurred in Korea, the Manchu and Qing centers in the capital had not yet received news.
But what's the use?
He was the one who truly became a lone man and a thief.
By night, three regiments had established a firm foothold on land.
Obviously this force will be used in Japan in the future.
While sending a message to Dorgon, Wuqing re-established a defensive line in Gu'an and mobilized the defenders of Tianjin back to strengthen their strength.
Ironically, as prisoners of the Wehrmacht, they actually had their first full meal in years.
This dragoon regiment has infantry, artillery, and engineers, and it relies on complete fortifications. It is simply not something that the Qing army can defeat.
Le Xinfeng is an unsmiling person, but what he says is very resounding.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be alone here.
Just as Crown Prince Zhaoxian entered the city gate, Li Zhu ended his life with a piece of white silk in his palace.
At dawn, the Qing soldiers stationed on Huludao rubbed their eyes with confusion on their faces, thinking they had seen a mirage.
But when the shells fell on the land and killed people, they realized that all this was true.
As for Sony who was trapped in Cangzhou, he could no longer care about it.
Hao Gege hurriedly hurriedly reached the city, and encountered the Dragoon Regiment of the First Cavalry Division of the National Defense Force.
Not only that, the Qing army escaping along the way ran into the advancing vanguard of the 2nd Cavalry Division at Shulu.
Early the next morning, news from the rear confirmed his suspicion.
As for the Eighth Division, it was not sent to the front line, but instead concentrated in Busan.
The northern part of the peninsula has long been in dilapidated state after years of misdeeds. The people have long complained about the royal family and the court, and they hate it deeply.
Pyongyang is also in turmoil.
Zuo Menggeng personally formulated the Huludao landing plan to capture Jinzhou and cut off the connection between the capital and Liaodong.
Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been divided into three regions.
Although Azig and Duduo, who are far away in Huguang, have the strongest power in their hands, they are the farthest away. It is impossible to retreat without peeling off their skin.
The Manchu Qing center in the capital will face the powerful force of the central strategic cluster, and the situation is precarious.
Now they want to return to Liaodong, and the Shanhaiguan line is no longer accessible.
