The flag of the Xuanfu Army fell, and the Qing army's counterattack became more fierce. Although Guo Yingxian, the deputy general of the Xuanfu Army, led his army to resist vigorously, the Qing army was all cavalry after all, and was superior to the Ming army in terms of bravery and mobility.
More than one thing!
Soon, the stalemate began to loosen, and the Ming army became obviously weak and weak. Countless soldiers spilled their blood on the battlefield, and there was a faint sign of failure!
The commander-in-chief of an army is the soul of an army!
Although Guo Yingxian's qualifications and reputation are the first person under Yang Guozhu in the Xuanfu Army, he cannot replace Yang Guozhu's position after all!
Although he tried his best, he still could not reverse the situation that had been overturned by the Qing army!
"Deputy Commander, let's withdraw! If this continues, all the brothers will be killed! We have to leave some seeds behind!" Seeing that Guo Yingxian was furious, a general beside him hurriedly stopped him.
, desperately dragged him to a temporarily safe place in the back line!
"Go away! Let me go! Have you all forgotten what the commander said? If I retreat now, how can I still have face? Goodbye, commander! Get away! Charge me! Charge up! Today, I will fight with these dogs.
I'll fight!" Guo Yingxian was also a brave man. Regardless of the dissuasion of everyone around him, he still stepped forward to fight for his life against the Qing army!
The general hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Deputy Commander, think again, think twice! The brothers from the Shanxi Army below have already come up! Next, let them be the main attacker!"
At this time, Shanxi Commander-in-Chief Hu Dawei and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Fuming had led more than 10,000 Shanxi troops into the battle formation and withstood the defeat of the Ming army!
"Ah~~~!"
Guo Yingxian glanced around and couldn't help but shout loudly. Although he was extremely unwilling to do so, he also knew that if he continued to fight like this, their Xuanfu army would really die here!
"Send my military order to withdraw temporarily! Make way for the brothers of the Shanxi Army!" Guo Yingxian said with almost broken teeth!
"Yes! The deputy commander is wise!" The general couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly asked people to help Guo Yingxian retreat, and then ordered his own soldiers to start retreating!
~~~~~
After all, the Xuanfu Army and the Shanxi Army are both nine-sided strong armies. Although they have reached this point, the alternation of offense and defense between the two sides is still very orderly. After a short time, the remaining soldiers of the Xuanfu Army withdrew, led by Hu Dawei.
The new force of the Shanxi Army has stepped forward again!
There were flashes of swords and shadows, flesh and blood flying everywhere. The land in front of Shimen Mountain had been faintly stained dark red with blood. It was impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. The mountains and plains were filled with corpses of both sides killed in battle!
"Boys of the Shanxi Army! Charge, charge! These dog Tatars are on their last legs! Charge forward and kill them all!"
It was obvious that the Qing army was at the end of its attack, and it was just holding on for dear life. He hurriedly shouted loudly, calling for the new troops under his command to come forward, ready to completely crush the last straw on the Qing army!
"Bang~bang~bang!"
With Hu Dawei's meticulously built bird gun camp clearing the way, three thousand Shanxi Army cavalry, like an irresistible torrent, rushed into the Qing Army's cavalry camp and fought in one piece!
At this time, most of Yambuli's 3,000 Mongolian cavalry had already been lost. How could they be the opponent of these wolf-like Shanxi cavalry troops? They kept retreating and desperately retreated towards the Qing army's camp!
On the other side, the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, which numbered less than two thousand, had no intention of fighting and retreated one after another!
The battlefield instantly became empty, and the distance between the two sides quickly widened!
~~~~~
Duduo was going crazy. He had already spent a lot of money on this battle, but if the situation continued, it would be impossible for his six thousand elite cavalry to withstand the Ming army's back and forth, and the two generals.
, a life-threatening attack by more than 20,000 elites!
Failure seems to be inevitable!
"Prince Yu, the Ming army is so powerful that we may not be able to defend Shimen Mountain! Why don't we take a step back and wait for the emperor's decision?"
"Prince Yu, if you keep the green hills here, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood! Let's take a step back first and then fight back tomorrow!"
"Prince Yu..."
These Qing soldiers were also human beings, and to a certain extent, they were more afraid of death than the Ming army. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, several Jiala Zhangjing and Mongolian chieftains tried to persuade them one after another.
Duduo clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. He was of Nurhaci's blood and Prince Yu of the Aixinjueluo family. Although what these Manchu and Mongolian nobles said was correct, they did not know that regarding the siege of Jinzhou,
Huang Taiji bet almost all his chips, only allowed to win, not defeated!
Otherwise, what awaits them and the Aixinjueluo family will be a disaster!
At that time, these hooded people may change their identities and return to the Ming Dynasty, begging for mercy!
But what about him? What about his family?
After all their evil deeds over the years, it is absolutely impossible for the Ming Dynasty to tolerate them again!
After Shimen Mountain, there is Jinzhou South City. Once Shimen Mountain is lost, the main force of the Ming army will soon join forces with Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City. By then, it will be impossible for the Qing army to divide the encirclement again!
But as long as he can defend Shimen Mountain, Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City will never dare to go out and take risks easily. He is like a turtle in a jar and has no choice but to be at the mercy of the Qing army!
The Qing army can still firmly seize the initiative in this battle!
"Prince Yu, think twice! If we don't retreat, we won't have time!" Seeing that Duduo was still so hesitant, a Mongolian leader hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
Duduo's eyes suddenly turned cold. He pulled out the sword from his waist and cut off the head of the Mongolian-headed man with one blow. Blood splashed all over his face!
But Duduo didn't care, like a demon, he grabbed the head of the Mongolian man with his eyes wide open, and shouted: "The city is here and the people are there, the city is dead and the people are dead! Who dares to say even half a word of retreat!"
This is the fate! You slaves, if I love Xinjieluo when it is prosperous, you will all follow me to drink soup and eat meat, and be rich and glorious. If I love Xinjieluo to fail, you will all be buried with me! Now, I order you,
You all support me! Prince Rui’s reinforcements will arrive soon and they will survive tonight. Tomorrow, I will go to the emperor in person to ask for credit for you!”
"Yes!" Seeing Duduo's thunderous tactics, these Manchu and Mongolian nobles dared not even complain. They quickly led all the ministries to follow them and rushed to the front of the Qing army's battle formation, desperately resisting the Ming army's attack.
Impact!
Seeing that the situation was slightly stabilized, Duduo breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked back and saw that almost all the generals around him had gone to battle, and only his personal camp was still guarded by hundreds of people!
"You, go, you also go to the front of the formation. Today, even if I risk my life, I will never let the Ming army advance even half a step!"
"Yes!" The soldiers did not dare to disobey Duduo's order, so they quickly picked up their weapons, rushed to the front of the formation, and joined the battle!
Duduo couldn't help but take a deep breath, 'Reinforcements? Where else can there be reinforcements?'
The current situation depends entirely on him!
However, as long as you can survive tonight, everything will be completely different...
~~~~~~~
The time is gradually approaching dusk, and the open space in front of Shimen Mountain is already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, you came and I went back and forth, and no one was willing to give in!
The morale of the Ming army was strong at this time, but the Qing army relied on the favorable geographical situation to fight desperately with the Ming army. The situation on the battlefield became confusing again!
~~
In the main camp of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou has been paying close attention to the situation ahead!
Although he had already seen that Hu Dawei had tried his best, but he didn't know what happened to this Qing army?
Even with the risk of annihilation of the entire army, they still have to fight against the Ming army and refuse to retreat!
"Director Hong, these Qing dogs are probably crazy! If this continues, it will be difficult for Hu Dawei to take over Shimen Mountain!" Wu Sangui also sensed that something was unusual, frowning, his face
A little depressed too!
"Director Hong, do you want to take up a humble position and use people to suppress you? You will crush these dog Tatars to death!" Wang Tingchen also said at the side.
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh deeply, and looked up at the supervisor Zhang Ruoqi on the side!
Zhang Ruoqi's face was also a little pale. With the support of two book boys, he was standing aside, staring at the battlefield not far away in trance!
Although he is still far away from the battlefield, as a scholar, this is the first time he has been so close to the battlefield in person!
The strong smell of blood that drifted over in the sea breeze had already caused him to vomit several times. If someone hadn't helped him, he would have fallen to the ground!
"Master Supervisor, the battle has reached this point, what do you think next?" Hong Chengchou coughed lightly and signaled Zhang Ruoqi to come back to his senses.
"Huh?" Zhang Ruoqi was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Director Hong, generals, the emperor has an edict that this battle must be fought quickly! The Ming Dynasty's treasury can no longer bear such military consumption!
At this time, our army has strong soldiers and strong morale, and according to the wishes of the supervisor, we must work hard to completely wipe out this Qing army!"
Hong Chengchou nodded and glanced at the generals' eyes!
None of the generals dared to look at Hong Chengchou, and they all lowered their heads!
Wu Sangui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he glanced at Zhang Ruoqi, in the end, he did not speak and swallowed the words back in his stomach!
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh deeply, "It's okay, it's our duty as ministers to share the worries of the emperor and the court! Since the Lord Supervisor of the Army has said so, let's do it this way! Wu Sangui! Wang
Courtier! Cao becomes a dragon!"
"The general is here!" The three of them heard this and hurriedly knelt down and said.
"You have three divisions. Each division has selected two thousand elites, ready to assist Commander Hu at any time!"
"Yes!" The three of them hurriedly left!
~~~~~~
On the left wing of Rufeng Mountain, Liu Ruyi and Wang Pu have been on the observation deck, paying attention to the occupation not far away!
At this time, the sky was getting dark, but there was still no attack over there, and both of them became a little anxious!
"Brother Liu, what the hell is going on? Why can't even an army of hundreds of thousands take down this small Shimen Mountain? Damn it! Hey! I don't know how Yang Shuai is doing now!
"Wang Pu said grumblingly.
This kind of war situation, fighting outside, is actually more worrying than participating in the war in person!
The so-called "bystanders know better", precisely because bystanders are outside the battle situation, they can clearly see the shortcomings on the battlefield!
Liu Ruyi also shook his head slightly. Duduo had occupied the advantageous location and was determined to defend it. It was obviously unwise to continue to attack like this!
It's already dark now, so even if it's a strong attack, the effect won't be too obvious!
It can be said that this is completely unnecessary!
Let the army have a good night's rest, recuperate their energy, and launch a surprise attack early tomorrow morning. Presumably, they will achieve better results!
After all, Duduo doesn’t feel comfortable with this kind of torturous moment!
Hong Chengchou was too hasty after all!
However, Liu Ruyi had forgotten the existence of Zhang Ruoqi. That man was the tightening curse on Hong Chengchou's head, the life-threatening talisman!
"Report~~~! Governor Hong's order!"
Just as Liu Ruyi was deep in thought, several soldiers with orders came hurriedly from the bottom of the mountain!
