The rocket launchers from both sides were coming back and forth, and the fight was lively, but not many people were killed. Several truly bloody hand-to-hand encounters were quietly unfolding under the cover of the roar of rockets.

What the two sides are fighting for are four abandoned villages located in the center of the battlefield. The names of these four villages all have the word "dong" in them. They are called Gaoyang Cave, Shuise Cave, Yicun Cave, Sangyam Cave...

Because Seoul is close to the stone mountain Bukhansan, stone materials are very easy to obtain, so there are houses and yards built with stones everywhere. These four "dongs" are no exception. There are some yards built with stones in the village.

, the house, although it has been burned, but the stone walls are still standing there.

If anyone can seize these four "holes", it will be very advantageous to seize the opportunity and cover one's own army whether to attack or defend.

Therefore, both Kangxi and Zhu Heji immediately came up with a similar number of teams to compete... Among them, the Ming army came up with a battalion, and the Qing army came up with a corps leader.

Since it is important, why not put more troops into it?

This is because these four "holes" are not big, and too many troops cannot be "stuffed" in. Moreover, the movement of large groups of troops is too loud, and it is very likely to attract the opponent's large groups, and then a big fight will have to occur.

!

At present, military strategists on both sides believe that it is best for the infantry brigade to build "anti-sugar fortifications" before fighting, so that the infantry can have a place to hide, and then launch an attack with the support of their own "sugar power"

.

Although these four "holes" are important, they are not at the point where they have to fight as soon as they come up.

In addition, the commanders on both sides also wanted to test each other's strength through the battle for these four "holes".

Jin Chengkai, who belonged to the second leader of the Left Association Forward Battalion in the 11th Town of the Ming Army, also participated in this first battle, which was later called the "Battle of Four Holes".

His leader was sent to seize the village called Gaoyangdong. Although it was an inconspicuous small village, Jin Chengkai had been here several times because he had a friend who once lived here. He was very familiar with the situation in the village.

, knowing that there is a large house in the village that once belonged to a certain "jun". This house has a low stone wall. As long as you capture this house, you will basically control the entire village.

So after he received the order, he immediately explained the situation to his superiors. His boss Zhao Yiyuan was an "old brother" from Guangfu. He had never attended a military academy, but he had rich experience and knew that the information he provided was valuable. So he immediately

He prepared a rope ladder for climbing the wall, and ordered his skirmisher lieutenants to set off, jogging all the way to seize the big house!

Afterwards, Zhao Yiyuan led the remaining four deputy leaders to form a small column and quickly rushed to Gaoyang Cave.

Among these four deputy commanders, three fusilier deputy commanders are all Korean soldiers, and even the officers and non-commissioned officers leading the team are also Koreans - they were all originally Confucian students! Only one spearman led by Zhao Yiyuan

The deputy chiefs were composed of soldiers from the six provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, the North Koreans under Zhao Yiyuan and Zhao Dazheng were very worried... North Korean soldiers are famous for being weak, although the North Korean officers and soldiers under Zhao Yiyuan were very good during training.

Working hard is not "996" but "715"! Zhao Yiyuan, who has been in the army for six years, has never seen a soldier who works harder than them!

But can they actually do it on the battlefield? Fighting in a war is not about working, it is not about working hard.

These North Koreans wouldn't be frightened and disperse when they saw the Eight Banners soldiers, right?

Just when Zhao Yiyuan was thinking about the Eight Banners soldiers, gunshots, explosions and shouts of death suddenly rang out from the village ahead called Gaoyangdong!

Zhao Yiyuan reacted immediately and immediately loudly ordered: "Blow the suona, blow hard, keep blowing... Everyone else, rush forward!"

Now every leader of the Ming army is equipped with a drummer and a trumpeter. The drummer carries a drum slung across his body and beats a lively drum when marching. The trumpeter carries a drum that can make harsh sounds.

Suona, when played hard, the sound can be heard far away.

The purpose of Zhao Yiyuan asking the trumpeter to blow the suona was not only to give orders to his infantrymen to advance quickly, but also to send a signal to the deputy leader in the village ahead... He had to let them know that reinforcements had arrived.

Got it!

The deputy leader led by Jin Chengkai was originally at the front. They have been training day and night these days. They have memorized the meanings of various trumpets, drums, and golden sounds, and they have also formed a conditioned reflex.

Reaction.

Now that they heard the sound of "charge", they started charging without hesitation!

And the sound of the suona doesn't stop, so their charge can't stop either!

Forty Korean fusiliers, holding their bayonet-mounted fusiliers, shouted and ran forward... No one thought about what was ahead?

Just when they were screaming and about to rush into Gaoyang Cave, twenty or thirty new Eight Banner Army shotgun soldiers wearing red cotton armor suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, each with a flintlock rifle!

These twenty or thirty Eight Banners New Army shotgun soldiers were also well-trained. They immediately formed two horizontal formations, then leveled their muskets, aimed at the Ming army rushing up outside the village, and fired a volley!

Twenty or thirty lead bullets roared towards them, knocking down six of Kim Cheng Kai's North Korean soldiers before they could react!

However, Jin Chengkai's mind was already very hot at this time. He was thinking about making meritorious deeds, becoming an official, counterattacking, and letting the direct descendants of the Andong Jin family see how he could stand out!

So how could he care about the enemy's bullets? And he also forgot that the flintlock gun in his hand was loaded with bullets. He could fire as long as he pulled the trigger... He thought he was holding the gun in his hand.

It's a spear!

He did not fire or order his men to form a team, but just charged like crazy. The Korean soldiers who followed him who had not been defeated also went crazy, and everyone charged with flintlock rifles with bayonets.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This shocked the musketeers of the Eight Banners New Army.

What does this mean? Are they holding muskets? Why don't they fire?

Just when they were in a daze, Dadan Zhangjing, a Qing army commander who was commanding them, suddenly shouted, "It's too late... draw your sword and chop them to death!"

"kill!"

The musketeers of the Eight Banners New Army shouted, shouldering their muskets while shouting, then drew out their sabers and lunged forward with howls.

The martial arts of these new Eight Banners troops were actually far better than the Korean soldiers. Even Zhu Heji's old brothers from Guangdong could not defeat them. However, the elite soldiers under the Wu brothers were more fierce than them in hand-to-hand combat...

If they perform normally, Jin Chengkai and his men will definitely be chopped into pieces.

However, Jin Chengkai's people did not respect martial ethics. They carried loaded flintlock guns to fight with people. And they did not fight hard. When a hand-to-hand combat was about to happen, someone suddenly remembered that they were holding guns, so

Just fired!

There was only a "pop" sound, and a lead bullet was pushed out of the muzzle by the explosive gunpowder. It flew less than five steps before it suddenly crashed into the body of a burly man.

This burly man was holding a knife and was about to kill someone when he was suddenly hit hard on the chest, and then he realized that the flintlock gun in the hand of the man opposite had actually fired!

How could he do this?

How can you shoot during hand-to-hand combat? How can you fight in future battles if this is the case? As soon as he thought of this, he was so unbearable that he lost the ability to think, and he didn't know where the energy he had been able to use had gone.

, he didn't even have the strength to stand, and he fell to the ground.

Then, before he loses consciousness, he hears more gunshots... and more people finally remember that they are Musketeers!
