Chapter 576: Breaking the Stick 4


The sentry on the southern section of the city wall was in his sleep when he was suddenly awakened by the violent sound of horses' hooves.As soon as they reacted, the Korean cavalry had already rushed in from the broken wall, and slashed at the neck of the Qing army at the sentry post with a wave of their swords.The "Bang, Bang, Bang" sentry sounded the gong in a panic, and the huge sound of the gong instantly pierced the entire night sky."

Release the arrow, release the arrow" Cui Chenghao gave an order, and there was a rain of arrows passing by "whoosh, whoosh", and the sentry who struck the gong was instantly shot into a hedgehog.In the panic, the sentinels instinctively scattered and fled, unable to form an effective counterattack at all, forgetting that the guy in their hands can kill.Where could the two legs of a man run over the four legs of a war horse, the Korean cavalry quickly chased after him, and with a wave of his saber, he cut the sentries under the horses one by one."

Quick, directly attack the barracks of the Qing soldiers" In order to avoid waking up the Qing army, Cui Chenghao took the lead, regardless of the scattered sentinels, and directly led people to rush to the barracks not far away.The campfire in the barracks had been extinguished, and the remaining fires were still splashing with sparks from time to time."

Bang, bang, bang" The soldier who had just escaped picked up a life, just reacted, and put it at the sky with a foreign gun.A violent gunshot shot shot into the sky, and the bullets slashed brilliant sparks in the air, which looked unusually dazzling in the silent night.The soldiers in the camp were immediately awakened by the sound of gunfire, and they left the tent with their spears before they could put on their clothes.At this moment, Cui Chenghao's cavalry had already rushed into the barracks, and the two sentries at the gate of the barracks drank too much and were killed by bows and arrows in their sleep."

Bang, bang, bang" Under the moonlight, no one could see the specific situation clearly, only heard the continuous gunfire at the entrance of the barracks.The barracks, which was still quiet just now, suddenly became lively.The soldiers who were dreaming awakened one after another, and they didn't bother to put on their pants, so they picked up their foreign guns and rushed out of the tent.Cui Chenghao's tiger cavalry camp was very well-trained, and he killed people when he saw them after rushing into the barracks.In the chaos, the Qing army was simply unable to resist effectively.Just three or five groups lined up in a gun array, and they were soon scattered by the war horses of the Korean army.In the darkness, it was impossible to shoot accurately, and only the sound of gunfire was heard, but not a single North Korean horse fell to the ground.Garrisoned at the southern wall, it belonged to the Third Army, and its commander, Alkhatu, was also a guerrilla general.However, he, a guerrilla general, was bought with money, which is different from Qi Buchen, who was promoted by military merits.When he joined the Kwantung New Army, Zhang Zhidong had already stepped aside, and most of the affairs of the Kwantung region were taken over by Prince Yixuan.At that time, Yixuan had just entered the Northeast, and he was young and vigorous, which also changed Zhang Zhidong's principle of only accepting elites.Regardless of the quality of the soldiers, they will all be recruited.The Third Army is such an army with a large number of people, but after all, it has received advanced military training in the later period, and its combat effectiveness is of course stronger than that of the Eighth Banner Army.The third watch is the time when people are most confused.Although the Third Army had more than 30,000 soldiers, it was caught off guard by the North Korean soldiers, and there was no team organized to block it for half a day.Not only that, but the entire barracks were already showing signs of collapse.The first thing that came to the mind of many unknown soldiers was not how to fight, but to take the gold and silver looted in the past few days, and the girl was ready to run away."

Come, come, come, are all dead" Alhatu was sleeping with two North Korean women in his arms in his tent, when he heard the noise outside, and thought it was a soldier who was drunk and making trouble again.He reluctantly touched the North Korean woman and touched it indiscriminately.Only then did he put on his clothes and yelled outside the tent."

Commander, you're awake.Something big happened, we were attacked by the North Koreans, and the brothers couldn't stand it anymore" It took a long time for a person to come in outside the military commander, with a sparse goatee, and when he entered the military tent, he bowed to Alkhatu.This person's name is Wu Youcai, and he is a military advisor next to Alhatu, and he turns out to be a teacher.Alhatu has a habit of sleeping, that is, when he encounters something big, he can only tell him when he wakes up.Last time, there was a herald who didn't know the rules, and when he was doing something with a woman, he broke in, and was immediately dragged out and beheaded.Of course, Wu Youcai knew about this, and he stomped his feet outside the military tent for a long time, and he didn't dare to go in to tell him.As soon as Alhatu heard the news, he immediately exploded, put on a robe indiscriminately, picked up a spear and walked out of the military tent."

Come on, assemble the team," Alhatu yelled outside the tent, but by this time there was already a mess outside, and there was still someone for him to call on."

Commander, don't shout, be careful of being heard by the North Koreans" Wu Youcai followed out of the military tent and hurriedly stopped Alhatu."

Strategist, what should I do now" As soon as Alhatu heard that it made sense, he quickly closed his mouth, and asked Wu Youcai with a bitter face."

Commander, thirty-six plans are the best plan.This time, the DPRK estimated that it was a large army attacking, and it was categorically difficult for us to resist.It's better to retreat to the city first, and then counterattack when the soldiers and horses are organized. ”Wu You looked at the increasingly uncontrollable situation in the barracks, and hurriedly wanted to retreat to the back, he didn't want to die in a foreign land."

Okay, retreat, retreat to the city" Alhatu nodded in agreement immediately, waved his hand and withdrew to the city with his own soldiers.Cui Chenghao led the cavalry to kill more and more bravely, and the blades were cut and curled.He had already found several naked female corpses by the fire in the barracks, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was their North Korean women.The blood all over his body swam on Cui Chenghao's body, and the more he killed, the more angry he became, and his body was already splashed with the blood of the Qing army, as if he had descended from the killing gods.A soldier bears a nest of bears.The Qing army was much stronger than the Korean cavalry in terms of numbers and weapons, and at this time, whenever a general raised his arms and shouted, he could organize the scattered soldiers.The Korean cavalry will definitely not be like now, as if they were in a no-man's land.But in the dark, command and dispatch are not easy.The generals patronized to save their lives, and retreated one after another under the escort of their own soldiers, and no one had the heart to stand in the front.As a result, more than 30,000 people armed with foreign guns were killed by more than 3,000 men armed with broadswords, bows and arrows."

General, let's withdraw quickly, the reinforcements of the Qing army are coming soon" At this time, Jin Shixuan, who was in charge of monitoring the enemy's situation on the periphery, rode his horse and arrived.He searched for a long time in the chaos, and as soon as he saw Cui Chenghao, he shouted at him with his throat.At this moment, the Korean cavalry had already reached the depth of the barracks, and the forces were already quite scattered, and the impact force had been significantly weakened.Cui Chenghao clearly felt the gunfire in his ears, and after the Qing army was relieved, quite a number of soldiers and horses had already organized themselves and shot at the Korean cavalry in rows."

Withdraw the whole army and retreat" Cui Chenghao yelled, took out the horn on his waist, and blew it with a "mum".He is not a reckless man, and although he has the upper hand now, he knows that all this is only temporary.The gap between the two sides is too big to be comparable at all, and they can only rely on surprise attacks to seize the opportunity.If you stay here and fight with the Qing army, relying on his little men and horses will not be enough for the Qing army to plug the teeth.The Tiger Cavalry Battalion is really one of the few elite soldiers in North Korea, and as soon as Choi Sung-ho's horn sounded, the cavalry turned their horses' heads with well-trained horses.Groups retreated in pairs to the outside of the city.Before leaving, the tents of the Qing army were lit one by one, and the fire soon spread to the entire military camp by taking advantage of the wind at night.At this time, the Qing army was heroic, and I don't know where to gather thousands of people, following behind the Korean cavalry, they "snapped" and put foreign guns.The vision was blurred at night, and the effect was very limited, and it was impossible to stop the retreat of the Korean cavalry.That is, to vent the grievances in my heart, so many people were beaten so badly, it was embarrassing to say it.As the sky dawned, the situation in the city was gradually brought under control.The First and Second Armies had all rushed over and joined up with the Third Army south of the city.Prince Alcohol stood in the middle of the barracks with this face, looking at the camp that was burned by the fire, and was speechless for a long time.None of the generals around him dared to bite the air, and they all hung their heads in fear."

Bring me Alhatu" The anger in Prince Alcohol's heart rose, and his body couldn't help but tremble."

The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life" The image of Alha was like a dead fish, and was picked up by Prince Alcohol's personal soldiers.As soon as he saw Prince Alcohol, he knelt on the ground and shouted for help, kowtowing like pounding garlic."

Spare your life, you still have the face to beg for mercy, 30,000 people were chased and beaten by a small group of cavalry, even if it was not, last night you not only did not command the battle on the battlefield, but took advantage of the chaos to escape privately, how do you let this king spare you" Prince Alcohol clasped his hands tightly, and only stared at Alhatu with a murderous face.Last night, the battle in the southern city was hot, but it was the first army in the northern city to discover the situation.Qi Buchen quickly reorganized his troops and horses, rushed all the way to Nancheng for reinforcements, and rushed all the way to the headquarters to arrange troops to protect the safety of Prince Alcohol.Where would Prince Alcohol take these Koreans in his eyes, and personally led the left army to press on Nancheng.Unexpectedly, when the army had just reached the halfway point, it happened to run into Alhatu who was fleeing towards the headquarters.Prince Alcohol didn't say a word, he first asked someone to tie him up, and then prepared to deal with him after the matter was over."

Prince, you have really wronged a minion.The situation was chaotic last night, and the minions thought that the North Korean army was coming, so they hurriedly took their own soldiers to protect you, you are the commander of the army, and the minions are dead, but you can't have any mistakes, not to mention that the minions have already arranged defenses before leaving, and they definitely didn't mean to escape, if you don't believe it, you can ask the soldiers" Alhatu blurted out according to the excuse Wu Youcai made up for him, only to see that he was loyal and sincere, and it was a pity not to be an actor."

Joke, this king has a battalion of personal soldiers by his side, and you still dare to say anything about your protection until now" Prince Alcohol's tone was obviously not as stern as just now, and Alhatu's sycophant was quite useful to him.Wu Youcai's heart was like a mirror, and he immediately saw that the situation had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly glanced at the generals of the Third Army."

Prince Alcohol, what the commander said is true, please spare his life" The generals shouted loudly, and knelt down to intercede with Altu.They are now a community of interests, with both losses and prosperity.Once a son of heaven and a courtier, if a new commander comes, then naturally they will all be replaced
