In the wilderness northwest of Songshan Castle, the king's army was assembled, the army was in strict formation, and the momentum was magnificent.
The commander-in-chief Zhang Ruoqi's heart was filled with excitement. He laughed "haha" and said: "With the gathering of kings and troops, we will definitely win the battle and break the siege of Jinzhou in one battle.'
Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, said with a smile: "What Zhang Jianjun said is true.
Zhang Ruoqi turned to Hong Chengchou and said excitedly: "After this battle, the name of Governor Hong will be spread throughout Liaodong, which will make the slaves in the East feel chilled when they hear it. The emperor will also be greatly relieved and reward Hong Governor generously!"
What he said made Hong Chengchou speechless and didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Li Song, the commander of the Chinese Army, reminded him: "Master, the auspicious time has come." Hong Chengchou nodded calmly and said: "Blow the trumpet!"
Chen Zhongcai, the deputy general of the Central Army of the Supervisory Biao Camp, took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Sound the horn!"
"Ohh Ohh ohh!'
The horns sounded in front of the Chinese army array, and a passionate atmosphere instantly spread. All the generals in the army turned to look at the position of the Chinese army to observe the flag order, while the hundred commanders and team officers looked at each other.
Looking towards his home, where the headquarters was located, the army array became slightly commotion.
Hong Chengchou looked unmoved and shouted again: "Drumming!"
‘Boom!’
A large drum in a drum cart placed directly in front of the Chinese army's array was beating, and the rich drum sound immediately spread throughout the countryside, shocking people's hearts.
"Boom! Boom! Boom
The drummer knocked three more times, and suddenly, the big drums on a row of drum carts beat in unison. Then, from the front army to the center army, from the left army to the right army, the drum music of the whole army responded, such as 筚, cuo, canopy, etc.
All kinds of military utensils were making noise.
Hong Chengchou raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go!"
Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, was the temporary commander-in-chief of the attacking army. He turned around and glanced at the high platform of the Chinese army from a distance, then mobilized his horses and headed east slowly.
Then, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty marched in densely to the passionate sound of drum music and the beating of war drums, with a torrent of armor and banners like a sea, and like a big red cloud covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
The sea of people rolled like a tide, and the sound of iron hoofs on the ground rumbled, resounding through the sky, and the earth trembled! Look at the grand scene of the army covering the sky and the sun, and the magnificent scene of thousands of troops marching together.
Commander-in-chief Zhang Ruoqi couldn't help but raise his head, look up to the sky and chant loudly, expressing his endless pride:
"The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all gone, and the white moon is in the moon, and the enemy can destroy it.
The enemy can be destroyed, and the enemy can be destroyed by raising his head, walking on the intestines of the tiger and wading in the blood of the tiger.
The beard is hung in the blue sky, and the beard is buried beside the purple plug.
If there is no one in the country, the Han Dynasty will prosper!"
"Your Highness, Prince Rui, Shuoqian's Zhenghong Banner has been attacked by the southerners very urgently, and he has sent people twice to ask for help." Zhen Gumu, the right bannerman of Dongtumote, Gushan'e, reminded softly beside Dorgon.
On the mountain city of Rufeng Mountain, generals such as Prince Dorgon of Heshuorui of the Qing Dynasty and Prince Haoge of Su were paying close attention to the movements of the Ming army.
I saw the dark sea of Ming soldiers stretching across the sky, undulating along the mountains and hills in the distance. They were marching in formation towards the east. The direction seemed to be towards the Huangtu Ridge, but it didn't seem right, and it wasn't good at the moment.
judge.
In the past two days, the sentry riders kept reporting something strange to the Ming army. There were more and more sentry riders, and they often came out in large groups, as if they were deliberately trying to cover the battlefield.
Moreover, every time he was in the mountain city, he saw that the Ming army around Songshan was carrying out large-scale construction projects and building various offensive equipment. He guessed that they were about to launch an offensive force, but he could not yet determine where their main attack would be.
According to Dorgon's idea, he hoped that the Ming army would come to attack Rufeng Mountain, so that the war could become stalemate, and he could also look for opportunities to win by surprise and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.
But in his heart, he hoped that the Ming army could storm the East and West Shimen of Shimen Mountain. In this way, he would be in line with his plan and help to greatly enhance his prestige in the army.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, I heard that the Ming army was gathering in the wilderness to the east of Songshan Fort. I immediately had a bad feeling in my heart, guessing that they might be going to attack Shimen Mountain, or Huangtu Ridge, or Songshan Mountain.
Where on the ridge?
Just when the Ming army was about to be assembled outside Songshan City, a sentry horseman came to report that Huangtuling was violently attacked by most of the Ming army. Shuoqian's Zhenghongqi suffered heavy casualties and asked for reinforcements to be sent quickly.
Dorgon was, after all, a battle-hardened and wily man. When he saw that most of the Ming army was gathered outside Songshanbao and their movements were unknown, he was ruthless and did not send troops to rescue Shuoqian.
Facing Gu Mu's kind reminder, he had no expression on his face. He just looked at the sea of people below, and he couldn't help but feel solemn in his heart. Now that the Ming army is powerful, it seems that tens of thousands of troops will be sent out this time. He, can
Keep it?
"Why didn't Ilden go to rescue Shuo Qian?" Haug asked from the side.
Dorgon snorted in his nose, but did not say anything. Instead, Du Du next to him said: "Shuo Qian came to report that Ilden was trapped on the Songshan Ridge by Minggou digging a trench and was not allowed to break out.
Hauge had a stern expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to send an order to Mandahai to send a group of troops to Huangtu Ridge to help in the battle."
The two sentinels ran away quickly when they saw a Qing army junior high school running towards him and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, King Chunrui, Maojiagou has been severely attacked by the Ming army. Please send troops for reinforcements.
Even Hauge was a little panicked now. Ming Gou worked so hard to get to Songshan and had to bear all his belongings. Isn't this contrary to common sense?
"snort!"
Dorgon snorted heavily and said: "The first battle is the decisive battle. Do you want to decide the world in one battle?
He stared in the direction of Songshan intently and said, "I want to see if he is cunning or just desperate.
"Prince Rui, won't you save Huangtuling?" Hauge asked with some confusion.
"Hmph. If he can't defend a loess ridge, what's the use of keeping him?"
Dorgon then said in a deep voice: "Let's go down the mountain too. Shimen Mountain and Huangtu Ridge will eventually become a place of killing!"
Shi Meng, the commander of the left sentry post in the middle of the Huwei camp of the Xuanbei Army, sat on his horse and looked in front of him, behind him, to the left, to the right, and even into the distance. Wherever he could see, there were countless pieces of armor.
With the flags, there were those of the Xuanbei Army, but more of them were soldiers from other friendly towns.
Seeing the countless heads surging in front of him, Shi Meng rode on his horse and sighed regretfully. He then turned to look at the right sentry commander Chang Zhengxiong who was also following Lin Fangping. He also looked regretful when he saw him.
color.
In this battle, there were those who mainly attacked Shimen Mountain, some who pretended to attack Huangtu Ridge and Maojiagou, and those who were responsible for intercepting the Tatars in Rufeng Mountain and Songshan Ridge. Only their own Xuanbei army could only watch and cheer, waiting for opportunities to participate in assistance.
However, I didn’t have the opportunity to participate in the mountain attack.
This made him very disappointed. Shi Meng now even wished that he could go up to attack the enemy soon. However, this seemed to mean that Yang Guozhu, Wu Sangui and other friends had failed to attack the enemy. This was a result that he did not want to see.
For a moment, Shi Meng's mood was extremely complicated!
