Chapter 472

In the hills, the artillery hidden by the Ming army's shadow suddenly retreated, and a ball of smoke and dust rose among the forests.

The shells hit the Qing army's marching ranks, and a mud pillar splashed. The Qing army was hit by gravel, fell to the ground and rolled, and wailed everywhere.

Li Benshen roared loudly, "Murder shooting, spearmen line up, hurry up!"

The Qing soldiers on the road were frightened and panicked, but after all, they had morale all the way and were elite in the green camp, so they would not be defeated immediately after being ambushed.

Among the mud pillars where artillery shells splashed, some Qing army began to fight in a hurry amid the roar of the generals.

The Qing army gunners quickly set up artillery, and the musketeers hurried forward, stood outside the road, and knelt on one knee to lift the muskete.

At this time, the war horses galloped, and the cavalry that rushed down from a high place had already reached the front.

The cavalry rushed down from a high place, and the weight of the horses and knights was blessed by gravity. When they hit the ground, they were shaking like mudslides, and their momentum was terrifying, which made the Qing soldiers pale and their legs tremble.

"Let me go!" Li Benshen roared anxiously.

The Qing soldiers were in fear and twisted their heads to one side and pulled the trigger. The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded intermittently. The Qing army's bronze cannon retreated sharply, and with a loud "boom", the shells hit the rushing Ming cavalry.

Under the bombardment of muskets and artillery, the Ming cavalry rushing in front fell down their horses one after another, but the cavalry rushing down from a high place had huge inertia and extremely fast speed. They could not stop the car and would not brake. Instead, they directly crashed into the Qing army with a terrifying impact force.

The Qing army, who had just finished a round of muskets, retreated and loaded before they arrived, and the Ming cavalry had already reached their sight.

The Qing army musketeers exclaimed in surprise and retreated with their guns to avoid the impact of the cavalry. The temporary musket line collapsed completely in the face of the overwhelming power of the cavalry.

Li Benshen stood behind the musket line and saw the Ming cavalry galloping on his horse. The horse knights were tilted, and the horse lance was raised, and the earth was shaken. The sound of thousands of hooves trampling on the earth was like an earthquake. He hurriedly roared at the bottom, "Rise the gun, raise the gun!"

The Qing army spearmen were all frightened by the terrible scene in front of them, and were suddenly awakened by the loud shouts of the officers.

The Qing army spearmen immediately faced the cavalry and walked quickly to the outermost periphery of the front line. Then, hurriedly held the tail of the gun to the ground and stabbed the spear head forward.

For a moment, the musketeers retreated and the spearmen moved forward, but more Qing troops ran around like ownerless flies.

At this time, the Qing soldiers formed a thin line of defense, and a ball of smoke rose from the cavalry, and the three-eyed muskets sprayed out orange-red gun flames and projectiles that were shot out quickly.

The green camp soldiers with thin armor were immediately torn apart by projectiles, and their blood mist was fluttering. They screamed and flew backwards. The already thin defense line was immediately empty.

With a loud "boom", the Ming cavalry holding a horse spear and waving a three-eyed musket rushed out of the smoke and crashed into the Qing formation.

The knight first had a whole piece of white plate armor with silver light reflected on his chest, an iron helmet on his head, a chain armor protects his neck, an iron beast face on his face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and the horses were also covered with armor. The cavalry held a 18-foot-foot horse spear, and the sharp spear head was flashing with cold light, and directly crashed into the Qing army's front.

The horse spear instantly penetrated the chest of the Qing army spearmen in the front row, pushed his body and hit back. Some horse spears penetrated several people in a row, directly knocking through the Qing army's front.

In an instant, the Ming cavalry rushed into the Qing army, killed the Qing army, and rushed to the opposite hill.

Seeing this, Ma Guanghui's face was pale, Li Benshen immediately shouted: "Restore the formation quickly and send someone to break through and ask for help."

At this time, the Ming cavalry who had killed through the Qing army front rushed to the opposite hill and gradually slowed down. The cavalry stopped, then pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and made a team. Xie Qian raised his horse's spear and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush for me! Kill the Qing dog!"

After saying that, as soon as he pulled out the reins of the horse, he rushed down the hill again. Three thousand cavalrymen immediately roared and rushed towards the Qing army.

To the south of Kaicheng, more than 15,000 Qing infantry and cavalry were advancing along the road towards Seoul.

Zhao Ming sent a navy to harass the Ping'an Road and the Huanghai Road, which threatened the Qing army's rear. Hong Chengchou's war has always been stable. He was worried that the Ming army would cut off the rear route, so he had to reduce the speed of the march to ensure the clearance of the Ming army and the Korean army in the occupied land. He also arranged more than 5,000 troops to station in Yizhou, Pyongyang, Kaesong and other places respectively to ensure the rear route of the army.

In the Battle of Songshan, Hong Chengchou also made steady progress. Unfortunately, the court's financial resources were unable to support him in the end, so he forced him to take the risk and finally lost his power and was defeated by the Qing army.

After the Qing army entered North Korea, it was unstoppable, but Hong Chengchou was very cautious and repeatedly ordered all troops not to underestimate the pirates.

At this time, the Qing army rushed all the way to Seoul, and was about to win the Korean War. They should have been happy, but Hong Chengchou felt a little uneasy.

This uneasiness comes from the fact that the Qing army's front was too long and had penetrated into North Korea for hundreds of miles, but Zhao Zamao's main force never appeared.

This made Hong Chengchou feel a little worried. After the army entered Kaicheng, he found that the vanguard had left Kaicheng and continued to advance towards Seoul with confidence. He felt a little worried and smelled a little conspiracy.

Under the Qing army's flag, Hong Chengchou rode on his horse, looked ahead with his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "How far is it from Seoul?"

"Report to the Zhongtang! It should be eighty miles away from Seoul. The army will be able to enter Seoul today!" Manchu general Han Dai once entered North Korea with the Qing army and was more familiar with the terrain of North Korea.

When Hong Chengchou heard the words, he felt a little relaxed. The distance between eighty miles and the cavalry was rushing, and it took half a day to reach it. The Ming army's strength was far less than that of him. I thought Zhao Zamao would not dare to play any tricks under his nose.

Hong Chengchou showed off his demeanor as a veteran in charge, nodded, and waved: "The army continues to move forward!"

However, at this moment, a cavalry rushed towards him, attracting the Qing army that was advancing forward to look at each other. The cavalry ran not far in front of Hong Chengchou and fell directly from the horse.

This shocked many Qing generals. A Qing general quickly turned over and dismounted and helped the cavalry up. Only then did he find that he was covered in blood and there were several blood holes that were punched by muskets behind him, which seemed to be almost out of reach.

"What's going on?" Hong Chengchou and others hurriedly urged the horse forward and asked urgently.

The Qing cavalry was weak, and he pointed to the south and said intermittently: "Our army is here, hiding in the Bistuya Pavilion~"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. Hong Chengchou tightened the reins of the horse and his eyes were slightly protruding. Zhao Zamao was so brave that he really didn't take him, the old senior, seriously. The two armies were so close that he actually dared to ambush.

"What's the situation now?" Hong Chengchou asked in a deep voice, without panic in his voice.

The Qing cavalry said in pain: "The vanguard walked to the Bitiguan, suddenly was attacked by the enemy, and then was attacked by the cavalry and was defeated by the formation~"

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he knew that Ma Guanghui and Li Benshen were in danger and the situation was not optimistic.

Obviously, Zhao Zamao carefully planned an ambush battle and wanted to eat the Qing army's vanguard. This was a danger, but also an opportunity for the Qing army.

The Qing army had more troops than Zhao Zamao. Compared to meeting Zhao Zamao, Hong Chengchou was more worried that Zhao Zamao would give up Seoul and go into the sea, so even if he had a trip to Korea, he would not be able to get a half of the miscellaneous hair.

Now Zhao Zamao ambushed the vanguard. If the rescue is timely, the Qing army will have a chance to turn the situation around, defeat Zhao Zamao in one battle, and eliminate the Qing Dynasty's confidant troubles.

Thinking about this, Hong Chengchou immediately raised his horse whip and shouted loudly: "The Bistula Pavilion is only fifty miles away. Zhao Zamao dared to set up an ambush at such a close distance. He was so arrogant. He ordered the horse army to advance south immediately and the infantry army followed me."

At that moment, the Qing army generals received the orders one after another, and Han Dai immediately led 6,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry and rushed towards the Bitiguan.

Six thousand Qing cavalrymen galloped on their horses and ran for more than twenty miles in a short while. They arrived near the Horseshoe Hall, only thirty miles away from the Bishoe Hall.

At this time, the Qing cavalry rushed up the hill like a tide, preparing to climb over the top of the hill. Suddenly, the "bang bang" musket shooting sounded, and the Qing army rushing to the front suddenly fell. In an instant, a burst of people howling and neighing, and they rushed to the war horses.

"It's hard to stop!" Han Dai reacted, shouted loudly, and quickly stopped the war horses. He raised his head and saw that a Ming army was arranged in the Qiuding array, which just blocked the way of the cavalry.
