Nurhachi fled so quickly and decisively that he didn't notice how many cavalrymen of the Qin Army had come.
The Jianzhou soldiers were also defeated very quickly. After the Qin Army suddenly appeared, the Jianzhou soldiers were defeated in less than half an hour.
The black-armored cavalrymen chased after the Jianzhou soldiers and killed them fiercely. Just like when they killed the North Korean soldiers, they tore them apart with great speed and strength. The Jianzhou soldiers, who were dressed more luxuriously, received special treatment from the Dragon Cavalry. The Dragon Cavalry accurately took away one life after another.
After the Jianzhou soldiers were chased by the Qin Army for a long time, in order to cover Nurhachi's escape, Fei Yingdong fearlessly led more than 1,000 Jianzhou cavalrymen to fight the Qin Army. The two sides fought for a while, and the Qin Army's black-armored cavalrymen slowly retreated.
Since the goal had been achieved, it was enough. There was no need to do anything else.
There were only about 600 of these black-armored cavalrymen. They were not Mao Wenlong's main force, but the vanguard sent by Mao Wenlong.
After hearing about Liu Chenlong's suicide attack in Kaicheng, and hearing the sound of fighting, they came to launch a surprise attack and save the North Korean soldiers and Liu Chenlong who were still alive.
Of course, it was an accident that they saved Liu Chenlong. No one knew what he looked like. He was not the only one wearing armor, and he was also wearing a helmet. No one knew if his hair was white. They could only say that they were lucky.
Liu Chenlong was lucky.
Anyway, the Qin Army came, and he survived. He collapsed on the ground, panting, recalling the moment of life and death just now.
What a feeling that was …
Obviously, it was about time for everything to come to an end. Because the Qin army had arrived.
Although he had always thought that he could not rely on the Qin Army and Xiao Ruxun, it was not until now that he knew how powerful the Qin Army was, and how lucky he was.
Liu Chenlong was helped onto a horse by two Qin Army soldiers and brought back to Kaicheng. Kaicheng opened its gate, and all the people in the city were grateful to the Qin Army for their help.
Of course, it was not until all the Qin Army entered the city that the officials in Kaicheng learned that the Qin Army had only sent 600 vanguards, and they were the vanguards of the vanguards. The main force of the Daqin army might have just set foot on North Korean soil.
What they said was correct – only Mao Wenlong's army had moved ahead, while the main force was currently heading south under Ma Chong's command. Liao Zhong was still in Righteous Province, preparing the rations that had just been delivered and moving them up to ensure the logistics were carried out.
Mao Wenlong's men returned to Sinuizhou and contacted the main force. They told the main force the location of the poison and told the main force not to drink it by mistake. At the same time, they reported the disaster that Nurhaci's troops had brought to North Korea.
When Liao Zhong, Ma Chong, and the other generals found out about this matter, they were extremely shocked. They could never have imagined that a group of 5,000 soldiers would be able to cause so much damage to North Korea. Hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee for their lives.
Didn't North Korea have an army and a general who dared to fight?
Even if they fought a battle, they should be able to see through Nurhachi's strength.
How could he cause so many people to flee, and even burn Pyongyang, one of the three capitals of North Korea, to the ground? Countless people died, bringing immeasurable losses to North Korea.
North Korea had not yet recovered from the losses in the war seven years ago, and now there was another wave of losses. This was a fatal blow to North Korea.
Not to mention that hundreds of thousands of refugees were fleeing south. Even a country like Daqin would suffer a lot, let alone a place like North Korea. So it was obvious that North Korea was really unlucky this time.
But who could be blamed for this?
They didn't do a good job in defense of the border, and they didn't do a good job in military preparation. They were almost destroyed by thousands of Jianzhou soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of refugees had to flee. Who could believe this?
In any case, Liao Zhong, Ma Chong, and Luo Rong couldn't believe it, but this was what happened.
North Korea was a country after all …
The senior officers of Daqin had quite a lot of opinions on this matter. Some ridiculed and some pitied them, but they were all negative opinions. Their attitude toward the King of North Korea was even more negative.
He was forced to flee by thousands of people, and he didn't even want the capital.
In the past, he was helpless under the threat of 200,000 Japanese pirates, but this time, a group of bandits could threaten him to such an extent. Originally, they were hoping that the King of North Korea would send troops to help the Daqin army to besiege Nurhachi. Now, they were hoping that they wouldn't send troops, lest they get in the way.
At first, Mao Wenlong also hoped that North Korea could gradually consume Nurhachi's strength. As a result, after a few battles, not only did they not consume their strength, but Nurhachi also received a lot of supplies, and the morale of the army quickly recovered.
He realized that he had overestimated the North Koreans, so he didn't count on them anymore. He just hoped that the North Koreans wouldn't cause him trouble.
Mao Wenlong received intelligence that a North Korean army had gathered in Kaesong, and it seemed that they intended to defend the city to the death. Mao Wenlong felt that something was wrong, so he quickly sent a group of cavalry to speed up and rushed to Kaesong. As a result, the vanguard army just happened to be in the battle where Yoo Sung-Ryong was beaten by Nurhachi.
Saving Yoo Sung-Ryong was an accident, but the fact was that Yoo Sung-Ryong felt bitter about his recklessness and North Korea's inaction.
The bandits only had 5,000 soldiers, and they were forced to cross the river by the Daqin army. As a result, North Korea was really destroyed. The three roads from the south to the north collapsed, and Pyongyang was burned to the ground. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were scattered all over the north and the south. The situation was very tragic.
In a sense, this could indeed reflect the huge national trauma brought about by the Japanese pirates.
After the national confidence was shattered, it was very difficult to recover again. It might need a big victory to recover. Now that the national confidence had collapsed as soon as something happened, it could show that the national cohesion and self-confidence of North Korea had fallen to a very dangerous level.
Mao Wenlong arrived four hours later. After he arrived with the main force, he immediately sent his troops to the Imjin River. He found that it was a mess.
There were a large number of corpses of women and children. There were also many corpses floating in the river, all of which belonged to women and children. There were still living women and children crying in the pile of corpses on the shore. There were also signs of people running away.
Mao Wenlong sent someone to check and found that there were no corpses of the strong men. He also saw that the pontoon bridge was destroyed. He knew that Nurhachi had cut off his tail to survive.
He was one step too late.
Nurhachi was scared out of his wits. He decided to escape with his troops, leaving behind the women and children who were a burden.
Of course, the women and children were not willing to be abandoned like this. They also wanted to escape, but it was a massacre. The unlucky ones were killed, and the lucky ones escaped.
There were a few who were injured but not dead. Mao Wenlong waved his hand and killed them. He then piled the corpses together and set them on fire.
As for those who escaped, they were all women and children. They were not lethal, so they were left to fend for themselves.
