Wu Sangui on Ningyuan City murmured in a low voice, looking away from Xishan and looking at Tang Pass next to him: "The little governor is so cruel, today is the day when our brothers will become famous."
Tang Tong was gearing up, with an excited look on his face: "I'll do whatever you say. I, Old Tang, are easy to talk to, and I just need to be able to drink soup."
Hahaha, Wu Sangui laughed wildly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult even if you don't want to eat meat this time!"
"In that case, I, Old Tang, won't be polite." Tang Tong looked eager to give it a try.
Wu Sangui nodded and looked at the Qing cavalry several miles away with cold eyes: "The meat is delicious, but the bones are hard to chew. The Tatars are arrayed outside the city just to lure us out to fight with them in the field."
"Why, the little governor wants us to go out of the city to fight with the Qing army in the field to contain the Tatar cavalry?" Tang Tong raised his eyebrows.
Wu Sangui shook his head: "The young governor asked, who is the commander-in-chief of the Qing army?"
What does it mean? Tang Tong doesn't understand.
"The little governor doesn't understand why the commander of the Qing army is so stupid!" Wu Sangui smiled sinisterly, and then ordered the artillerymen to use red cannons to blast the Qing cavalry army outside the city, desperately!
Xishan is only more than ten miles away from Ningyuan City. Although the range of the red cannon cannot cover the foot of the mountain, you are so close. Are you looking for death?
Wu Sangui gave an order and fired artillery, announcing that he also joined the battle.
There are already many artillery pieces in the city. There are more than 20 red cannons alone. In addition, some Qing troops were captured yesterday. At this time, they are all deployed at the west gate. The artillery shells are free to bombard the Qing troops arrayed indiscriminately.
The Qing army was extremely quick from dispatching troops to taking action. As soon as the army was in place, artillery suppressed it and the infantry attacked the mountain, the charge horn sounded. An exciting fight began in the mountain. Tens of thousands of cavalry lined up in the west of the city, staring at Wu Sangui.
Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui did not go directly out of the city to call for reinforcements as he thought, but instead bombarded with heavy artillery. This forced the cavalry to retreat. However, if they retreated too close to the west mountain, they would be hit by the artillery on the mountain, so they had to divide their troops on both sides to avoid it.
.
Wu Sangui was also very cunning. He mounted all his heavy artillery on both wings of the west gate and adjusted the muzzles from time to time to blast hard. He even bombarded the Qing army camp. However, it was difficult to hit the target at a distance, but he succeeded in frightening the enemy.
Seeing the Qing cavalry retreating, he stopped the bombardment and ordered Tang Tong to lead the cavalry out of the city.
After digging the trench, the Ming army actually sent troops to fight. Nikan and Abatai were overjoyed and immediately reorganized their cavalry to attack from both sides. Unexpectedly, within three miles, as soon as they entered the range, the Ming army's artillery roared again. This time it was not only
The artillery was heavy. Nearly a hundred artillery fires were fired. The power was too terrifying.
Damn it, you were fooled! When Nikan saw the Ming cavalry returning to the city, he lost his troops and generals, he cursed angrily, but he couldn't get close!
Dorgon, who was watching the battle on the first mountain, saw this scene, his expression was calm, and his little tricks were hard to detect. His purpose was not to destroy the city, but to destroy the mountain. Seeing the Qing army all over the mountains and plains were fiercely attacking, he sneered at the corner of his mouth, Dong
The governor of the factory, the famous man beside Emperor Ming? The elite heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army?
Hehe, that’s interesting, all in one pot!
The Qing army attacked the mountain in a large scale and suppressed it with artillery. The army rushed up from all over the mountain. Chang Yu braved the artillery fire and led his generals to kill the enemy bravely. Three thousand people from behind the mountain descended from Heifeng Mountain and strangled the mouth of the valley.
Let Hauge's men take another step forward.
Nearly 6,000 Ming troops including Li Yan's troops and the Shenji Battalion defended Shuangshan. Under the leadership of the young eunuch, one man was in charge of the pass, and all enemies could not get away.
The mountain in front of Shuangshan is already steep and steep, and there is a natural chasm like a line of sky valley, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are more than thirty cannons, three thousand muskets to suppress the fire, plus various defensive fortifications, artillery shells, bows and arrows, etc.
There were sufficient military supplies, and even if Dorgon was very aggressive, he would not be able to attack immediately. What's more, there were 5,000 more Li Yan troops who were good at mountain warfare.
Speaking of this, Chang Yu felt a little excited in his heart. On a whim, he wanted to fight in an ambush with Li Yan, but he accidentally planted a willow and let Li Yan catch it without telling him. He actually resisted the beam at the critical moment.
To be honest, if he only had the three thousand infantrymen of the Shenji Battalion to guard the mountain, he would be really unsure, but now he has five thousand more troops.
Dorgon, please let your horse come over here!
Although Dorgon had been mentally prepared for the Ming army in the mountains to be so difficult to attack, he did not expect it to be so tough. It was not as difficult as the attack on Ningyuan City. This time, all troops and means were used, and they attacked front and back several times.
When he tried to kill him, he always came back to be killed.
So damn hard!
Looking at Ningyuan City again, he couldn't help but spit again, he was so mean!
Nikan tried his best to lure Wu Sangui out of the city to fight in the field, but Wu Sangui would not be fooled. When he came, I would bombard him, and when he left, I would go out and chase him. He went back and forth but did not confront him head-on. Instead, he was killed by his artillery fire.
It's so cheap that I don't want it.
Azige was in charge of the front mountain and commanded the Qing troops to charge again and again. However, the fighting at the foot of Heifeng Mountain was fierce and could not go down the front mountain. Hauge ordered his warrior general Ao Bai to lead the troops to attack the mountain bravely and charge hard along the valley. They were attacked by Tu Yuan and Wu.
in the struggle to resist.
The two sides were fighting in darkness. Hauge relied on his superior strength. After several fights, he finally entered the valley, but he also fell into it. There were several valleys under Heifeng Mountain, crisscrossing each other. If you were not familiar with the terrain, you would be like a headless fly once you entered. Even if
You have fought your way out of the valley and have just arrived at the back mountain of Shuangshan Mountain. The terrain is steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Dorgon was ruthless and wanted to attack the mountains and annihilate the elite Ming army to capture Emperor Ming's red man alive. However, the little eunuch was also ruthless and resisted desperately to prevent him from taking a step forward.
Yesterday and today, the smoke never ceases and the fire is getting thicker.
A fighting lasted from early morning to noon, with heavy casualties on both sides. Despite Azig's efforts, he still failed to step into the valley, leaving corpses all over the mountain and even blocking the mountain pass for a time, which shows how brutal it was.
On the other hand, Hauge of Heifeng Mountain led his troops into the valley, and then sent troops to climb the peak to attack from the side. With a large force but no cost, he finally rushed out of the valley and approached the back peak of Shuangshan Mountain.
Unexpectedly, everything as far as the eye could see were cliffs. The Ming army occupied the high ground and used bows, arrows and rolling stones to defend against the enemy. They even mobilized a few artillery pieces and forcefully forced Ao Bai back into the valley, cursing angrily.
Dorgon was a little dissatisfied after a morning of fighting without success. He went to the Western Mountain Formation in person, held up a telescope and saw that the mountain was in a mess, full of devastation, and the fortifications in the mountain were dilapidated. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although we haven't won it yet, it's not far away. All we need to do is attack with all our strength again, and we'll definitely get it!
Having made up his mind, he discussed it with Fan Wencheng and immediately issued an order to take a temporary rest. The men and horses would eat and rest, and then launch a general attack to break the mountain in one fell swoop!
Dorgon guessed right, Shanzhong Changyu was really at the end of his strength!
Under the overwhelming suppression of dozens and hundreds of artillery pieces, the Qing army attacked with tens of thousands of troops from multiple fronts. Although Chang Yu defended in danger, he also paid a heavy price!
After all, the attacking targets were scattered all over the mountains and plains, but the Ming army's fortifications were fixed, with the valley and Moshigou as the center. This became the key target of the Qing army's firepower. There was a heavy rain of artillery shells in the surrounding area, causing heavy casualties.
Although the Ming army also had fire suppression, its firepower was smaller than that of the Qing army, and the Qing army's attack range was large and could only suppress the troops entering the mountain from the mountain pass.
In the end, what kept the Qing army out of the mountains was relying on the geographical dangers, the three thousand muskets, and the Li Yan troops led by Chang Yu himself. With the blood and flesh and blood of the men of the Ming Dynasty, they fought back one wave after another.
The Qing army blocked the charge again and again.
More than half of the artillery chambers were exploded, and there were only a few shells left. The Shenji Battalion was almost out of ammunition and food. More than half of the soldiers had abandoned their guns and drawn knives to fight. Only Li Yan's 2,000 men and horses died in the battle, and nearly 500 people were killed...
There were corpses everywhere in the mountains and forests, and in the wild valleys. Especially in the valley of Xiantiantian, they were piled up like a hill. There were soldiers from the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was a river of blood. It was shocking!
