The Ming army seemed to have endless artillery shells. At the time of announcement every day, the sound of artillery fire sounded on time. After several days of bombardment by the Ming army's artillery, the Houjin soldiers in Gushan Fort no longer thought about the artillery fire they had just encountered. I was so panicked when I was attacked.
They could even find a safe place to hide before the bombardment arrived, and then hide inside and watch the artillery fire fall from the sky on time, baptizing Gushan Fort.
Abatai could accept the loss of his soldiers, but when his originally small number of horses suffered another heavy blow, it was time for him to bear it no longer.
After enduring several days of shelling, Abatai decisively sent out some of his elite cavalry - not to fight the Ming army in the frontal brigade, but to protect the already precarious transportation lines.
The road from Gushan Fort to a wall has always been smooth, and the territory has always been controlled by Hou Jin. Gushan Fort stands here and has blocked most of the Ming troops, even those who fled over. The Ming army's mounted scouts were also few in number.
When encountering a transport convoy with weak defenses, these Ming Army cavalry can plunder a lot. However, if they encounter the elite Eight Banners who have been sent into an organized formation like this, then if these Ming Army cavalry show up again, they will be asking for their own death. .
It was clear that the Ming army's cavalry was attacking and harassing the baggage, but Abata knew what was actually going on, and so did the cavalry sent out.
However, Dorgon, who encountered these cavalry, did not know.
Dorgon was very happy to see the soldiers and horses of Gushan Fort, which at least meant that Abatai still had enough energy to pay attention to the harassing Ming army cavalry behind him. However, when he arrived at Gushan Fort and saw Gushan The soldiers in the fort skillfully searched for a hiding place, and then waited for the earth-shattering sound of the cannon.
After the dust fell to the ground, the soldiers walked out of their hiding places as if nothing had happened, patted the dust on their bodies, and then continued to do what they were doing before the bombardment.
It's like nothing happened.
The corners of Dorgon's eyes twitched. He had never seen such a disgraceful Dajin elite. Thinking that these soldiers had become his subordinates after Abatai left, he suddenly felt that the war situation did not seem as optimistic as he had imagined.
After Abatai introduced the battle situation to him in detail, he couldn't wait to leave with his people. The entire Gushan Fort was like a mess, and he threw it to Dorgon without any regrets.
"Abatai is not a coward, but right now he can't wait to leave here. It seems that these Ming troops in front of us are really troublesome!"
Under the dim light, Dorgon looked at the strong young man beside him with a smile: "We have finally rescued him!"
The strong young man smiled slightly: "It's you, not me! Father Khan asked me to come here, not to be in charge of the army!"
It seems that he is about the same age as Dorgon, but the strong young man is quite different from Dorgon in terms of seniority. His eldest son is Hauge, and Dorgon is Huang Taiji's half-brother. Brother, in terms of seniority, Hauge has to call Dorgon his uncle.
Of course, both of them are Baylor, and Hauge is more like Dalgon. This "uncle" is not something that must be called, so Hauge naturally won't do it.
Dorgon didn't care either.
The young uncle and nephew are like brothers, which makes him feel more comfortable. This time Hauge followed him to Gushan Castle. Huang Taiji's intention to train him was quite obvious, so Dorgon considered him as a side interview.
"The army is demoralized!" Dorgon shook his head: "Thousands of people in such a huge military fortress are like a pile of scattered sand. How can such people be pulled out to defeat the Ming army!"
"This is already your territory. If you dare to clean it up, you can make your own decision. You don't need to ask my opinion!" Haug smiled: "You do your job, I'm just here to help!"
Although he said that he was just making up the numbers, when Dorgon took his own soldiers and began to clean up the military discipline in the military fort the next day, Hauge still stood by Dorgon's side, and the two Baylors
They all arrived at Gushan Fort, and one of them was the brother of the Great Khan, and the other was the son of the Great Khan. The morale in Gushan Fort suddenly became somewhat high.
Now everyone knows clearly that Lonely Mountain Castle has to be defended no matter whether they are willing or not, and the two Lords of Baylor, especially Lord Baylor, who has an extremely promising future, definitely do not want Lonely Mountain to be included in their records.
This fort is in ruins.
After cleaning up the military discipline, Dorgon summoned the generals of the garrison for a military meeting, but Hauge left the military fort silently. Not far from the cavalry station behind the military fort, a dozen people who looked like ordinary people had been captured by him.
The guards were summoned and were waiting for his arrival.
"Whatever Lord Belle will ask you, just answer him honestly. If you answer well, you will be rewarded. If you are talking nonsense, I will chop off your dog's head on the spot!"
"You have transported things to the Ming Army and stayed there for some time. I want to know what you think of these Ming Army!"
Hauge asked these people with a stern face: "If you don't come back, you can just join the Ming army. Why are you thinking about coming back!"
"Master Baylor, what is an opinion?"
"That is to say, what do you think of these Ming troops?"
Several people looked at each other: "I don't think they are any different from other Ming troops. Moreover, when we came out of the mountain col, we were not allowed to pass. We saw a road built over there, and someone took our things.
, we’ll be back after the inventory is done!”
"We are the common people of Dajin, how could we defect to the Ming Army? Lord Baylor, please don't scare the little ones!"
"They didn't even let you pass, so you haven't seen their cannons or anything like that?" Haug nodded, as if he wasn't surprised by such an answer.
Several people shook their heads like rattles and hurriedly denied it.
"Have you seen the official of the Ming army who presided over the negotiations?" Hauge asked again: "I heard that the other official is not young and is considered a big shot, but he appears there every day, so he must have seen him!"
"I've seen a few of this, but we don't dare to get close and take a look!"
"Can we recognize each other if we meet again?"
A few of these people nodded fiercely. Who among the officials didn't want to take a few more glances? They were active in the mountain col every day, so they would meet him several times. Master Sun, they had already remembered each other's appearance.
"Okay, you go there again and help me deliver a letter to him!"
Hauge said with a smile: "I heard that you all have families on the other side of the wall. If this job is done, each of you will be rewarded with ten acres of land. If you don't do it well, everyone, including your family, will be cut down."
!”
"If it's done well, it will be done well!"
Several people nodded in fear, with frightened looks on their faces.
