In the early morning, the sun rises, the sky is cloudless, a breeze blows, and the faint fragrance of green grass seems to be breaking out of the ground, making people feel relaxed and happy!
On the highest peak on the west side of Rufeng Mountain, the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion has set up a position, and its dark muzzles are pointed coldly in the direction of the Azige camp not far away!
On the other side not far from the artillery battalion position, craftsmen took advantage of the terrain to build a large observation tower about one person high on top of two huge rocks!
At this time, Liu Ruyi, the commander of the Caishi Army, and Wang Pu, the commander of the Datong Army, were standing on the watchtower, holding telescopes and carefully detecting the movements of the main camp of the Ming Army to the east!
This side peak of Rufeng Mountain is about 250 meters above sea level, which is basically the commanding height outside Jinzhou South City!
Standing here, you can clearly overlook the scene seven or eight miles away!
Coupled with the assistance of the telescope, Liu Ruyi has been able to accurately locate the movements of the main force in the Ming army's camp!
The telescope is not a rare thing. During the Jiajing period, Qi Jiguang had already equipped it into the army!
But later, due to the influence of Japanese pirates and forbidden seas, the Ming Dynasty had fewer and fewer contacts with Nanyang and the West. On the contrary, these equipment, which should be necessary for sailors in the West, became a rarity!
The telescope in Liu Ruyi's hand was a gift from Old Michelle to Liu Ruyi. Old Michelle even claimed that this thing was worth thousands of gold and that he could give it to Liu Ruyi just to be friendly with Liu Ruyi!
Liu Ruyi naturally dismissed the old man's compliments!
However, this thing is of great use at this moment! This also makes Liu Ruyi prepare to give Zheng Yiguan some benefits and let him purchase more, so as to strive for complete equipment and colored stone army!
"Brother Liu, do you think Governor Hong will really send troops today?" Wang Pu stared at the situation to the east, obviously uneasy!
Liu Ruyi also stared at the movement over there attentively, refusing to change his gaze easily, "Brother Wang, don't be anxious! Wait patiently, I believe that there will be news in a while!"
"But, Brother Liu, why do I feel that the closer this battle gets, the more uncertain I feel? Look at Azig's camp, it's still the same as yesterday. It seems like they don't care about us at all!"
Wang Pu said angrily.
"Haha! Brother Wang, be patient! You will have military exploits, and you will also get money!" Liu Ruyi patted Wang Pu's shoulder lightly and said no more!
Seeing Liu Ruyi's calm look, Wang Pu had questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to shut his mouth and start paying attention to the battle situation in the east!
At this time, several soldiers hurriedly climbed up the hill and knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi, "General, there is news from Governor Hong!"
"Oh? Give it to me quickly!" Liu Ruyi was so excited that she quickly dropped her telescope and jumped down from the watchtower!
The soldier hurriedly handed a letter to Liu Ruyi respectfully!
When Liu Ruyi opened it, she couldn't help but breathed a deep sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth!
"Brother Liu! What's the news? Can you let me take a look?" Wang Pu couldn't help but jumped down and walked to Liu Ruyi's side.
Liu Ruyi handed the letter to Wang Pu. Wang Pu glanced at it quickly and couldn't help but gasped and murmured: "I didn't expect that this first battle would be fought by Yang Shuai! But why, Governor Hong?
What about Wu Sangui who doesn’t have the strongest troops?”
When Wang Pu said it, his tone was already slightly dissatisfied!
Yang Guozhu is the oldest among the generals, and he is also on Liu Ruyi's line. Using him in the first battle seems a bit...
"Haha! Governor Hong's choice is not wrong. If I were Governor Hong, if I wanted to win this battle, I would have to take action from Commander Yang!" Liu Ruyi said with a slight smile!
"Uh? What, why is this?" Wang Pu asked quickly.
Liu Ruyi glanced at the east side, then at Wang Pu, and then explained calmly: "Wu Sangui, Wang Tingchen, and Cao Bianjiao are all Liaodong troops. Although they are elite and familiar with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, in this situation,
, I'm afraid they won't be able to exert their maximum power at all! Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, and Ma Ke are all poor people. They can defend the city. How can we expect them to attack the city? Hong Du is not so confused! In this first battle,
It has to be done by Marshal Yang or Marshal Hu!"
"Huh?" Wang Pu still didn't understand and wanted to ask more.
At this time, the soldier who delivered the message said: "General Liu, General Wang, and Governor Hong are still waiting for a reply from the two generals!"
Liu Ruyi nodded and said to the soldier: "Tell Governor Hong that Liu will follow Governor Hong's teachings and will never take the initiative to go to war. Our army on the Western Front is impregnable!"
"Yes! I will return to the camp now!" The soldier kowtowed to Liu Ruyi and left in a hurry!
Liu Ruyi watched the soldier go away, then turned over and jumped back to the watchtower!
Wang Pu also followed closely and asked in a low voice: "Brother Liu, what do you mean by what you just said? Brother, I don't understand it now!"
Liu Ruyi took a deep breath, "Brother Wang, this battle is the first battle, and what we have to fight is the morale of our Ming Dynasty! Therefore, acquaintances can't do it, and soft people can't do it either! With the strength of the armies, only Yang Shuaihe can
Tiger is handsome! But, I hope God will bless me and Yang Shuai can win successfully today!"
Only then did Wang Pu react and nodded a little heavily, "Hey! I just wish Yang Shuai good luck today!"
~~~~~~
At this time, in the main camp of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou also received news from his own soldiers about Liu Ruyi's left wing!
Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sun in the sky, and said to the soldiers on the side: "Notify Yang Guozhu to go on an expedition!"
"Yes!" The soldiers hurried away!
Zhang Ruoqi was worried that there was no one around, and asked in a cautious voice: "Director Hong, how sure are you of today's battle?"
"How sure are you?" Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhang Ruoqi, shook his head slightly, and walked directly outside the tent, preparing to personally supervise the battle!
"Hmph! Arrogant!" Looking at Hong Chengchou's retreating back, Zhang Ruoqi couldn't help but cursed, but he had no choice but to follow Hong Chengchou, preparing to watch the battle ahead!
~~~~~
At this time, the Ming army's front line was wide open, flags were fluttering, and drums were rumbling!
Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, rode on a big black horse, held a two-meter-long Guanye sword, and came to the center of the front formation under the protection of hundreds of soldiers!
He hit the long knife with a fierce wave of his hand and shouted: "You men of Xuanfu Town, follow me and kill the thieves!"
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"
Nearly ten thousand Xuanfu troops raised their weapons high in the air and shouted loudly!
Yang Guozhu's eyes turned red, and he suddenly raised the long knife in his hand, "Let's go!"
"Set off!"
"Set off!"
More than ten thousand soldiers shouted in unison!
For a moment, the front line of the Ming army was crowded with people. Yang Guozhu took the lead, followed by more than ten thousand Xuanfu troops. Like an unstoppable frenzy, they rushed straight to the Duduo camp on Shimen Mountain opposite to kill!
"Yang Junmen! Take care!" Hong Chengchou rushed over and shouted at the crowd of people leaving, but he couldn't hear any response!
~~~~~
For Hong Chengchou, what he needs Liu Ruyi to do most now is not to take the initiative to kill thieves and make meritorious deeds, but to be stable!
Only Liu Ruyi stabilized the left-wing defense line and prevented the Qing army's fine cavalry from attacking the main left flank of the Ming army from the left wing. This was the foundation of the battle at Shimen Mountain!
At the moment, Liu Ruyi is not greedy for success, but is fighting steadily. This also makes Hong Chengchou feel more confident about today's battle situation with Yang Guozhu!
At this time, the distance between the Ming army's camp and Duduo's camp in Shimen Mountain was less than four miles. In less than a quarter of an hour, the vanguard of Yang Guozhu's Xuanfu army had already caught fire with Duduo's forward!
Duduo is really arrogant!
Facing the main force of the Ming army, 130,000 elites, and facing Yang Guozhu's more than 10,000 Xuanfu troops, he did not rely on the favorable geographical location of Shimen Mountain to form a stronghold and defend it. Instead, he dispatched 3,000 elite cavalry in an attempt to confront the Xuanfu troops head-on.
!
In the center of the two armies, the men and horses on both sides were like two torrents of different colors, violently colliding together!
The Xuanfu army has the general Yang Guozhu in front of him, and his morale is high, while the Qing army on the other side is also composed of elite cavalry with white flags. Both sides are trump cards, and no one wants to let them go!
In a moment, in the open space in the center of the two armies, the two sides were fighting each other, and blood flowed like a river!
"Kill! Kill! Kill the Tatars! Brothers, charge!" Yang Guozhu held a long knife and waved it back and forth. Guarded by hundreds of soldiers, he rushed directly towards the Qing cavalry formation!
During these days, for this battle, Hong Chengchou paid almost no arrears to the troops. This also made the more than 10,000 brothers in the Xuanfu Army well fed and drunk, and their spirits and physical strength were extremely strong!
At this time, seeing how brave the general was, they felt as if they had taken aphrodisiac. They exerted endless strength, risked their lives, and continued to move forward despite the charge of the cavalry with white flags!
~~~~
In the Qing army camp in Shimen Mountain, Duduo, dressed in silver armor, squinted his eyes and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield!
"Master! What happened to these Ming troops today? Do they not want their lives? This is a life-for-life!" Looking at the forward army, Eight Banners warriors continued to fall, a Jia La
Zhang Jing could no longer sit still. He stood on tiptoes and looked at the battlefield while facing Duduo.
Duduo didn't look good either. He originally wanted to use his elite to kill these bright dogs, but he didn't expect that these bright dogs would be so desperate. How could it be so easy to exchange their lives for names?
Ming Gou's life is worthless, but the lives of his warriors with white flags are worth thousands of gold!
"Go! Ming Jin, let Shi Ertai retreat first! Prepare artillery and archers! Give me a lesson to these bright dogs!" Duduo said sternly with a cold face!
"yes!"
After a moment, the low antlers of "Woooo..." sounded, and the Qing cavalry no longer dared to fight, and retreated like a tide!
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Qing Gou has retreated! Qing Gou has retreated!"
"Oh~~! The Ming Dynasty is victorious!"
"Dog Tartars, that's all! Hahaha! With such little ability, my grandfathers will drive them all out sooner or later!"
The Ming army couldn't help but cheer!
Only then did they realize that these Qing dogs, Manchus and Tatars were nothing special?
Their stomachs, bodies, and heads are supported by their thighs. If you cut off their heads, they will bleed and die!
Yang Guozhu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although Duduo's actions were a bit reckless, the combat power of these Qing cavalry was beyond compare!
Unexpectedly, my Xuan army was working hard, and even these elite Manchu cavalry could not do anything to me!
"Boys of the Xuanfu Army! These Qing dogs are no longer good! Follow me and charge! Glory and wealth are here today!" Yang Guozhu shouted loudly, pointing the long knife in his hand in the direction of Shimen Mountain!
"Come on! Come on!"
"Come on! Kill the Tatars!"
The morale of the nearly 10,000 Xuanfu troops was so high that they rushed towards the Duduo camp like crazy!
