Chapter 562 Cruel Battlefield

On the Xiaogu Mountain, Yuan Chonghuan stood at the highest point, looking around from a distance, with an outstanding appearance, with nearly 2 horses behind him, making him even more brilliant.

"The final general has seen Futai, and everything is going well." He Kegang and Zu Dale rushed to Yuan Chonghuan on horseback and reported loudly.

"Okay, the two generals have worked hard..." Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile on his face. The prelude before the decisive battle was very good. It swept the heads of many tartars and it was an appetizer before the decisive battle. No matter what, the credit It has already been caught, even if it is defeated, it still has a bottom line.

"Futai, killing the Tartars today was a pleasure, not hard at all." The two gave in to each other.

"...Don't be humble today, the Tartars have also come out, let's talk about the business, and we will talk after we finish beating the Tartars..." Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile on his face. As for the business, it is of course a business.

"Please give orders!" The two said.

"Have you ever eaten pancakes?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"Go back to Futai, kill the Tazi scouting team and eat it." The two replied immediately.

"Okay, I just observed the Tartars with a binoculars, and found that the Tartars' camp was cooking with fire, and the smoke hadn't dissipated. I guess they haven't eaten yet... Well, then I won't Too much to say..." Yuan Chonghuan smiled in satisfaction and nodded.It was almost noon now, and I had almost digested the food I had eaten before dawn in the morning, and I had eaten pancakes to fill my stomach, just in time to kill the enemy.

This battle may last until night, and it was calculated to appear in Xiaogushan at this time. The staff department assigned to Jinning's staff designed many gadgets against the Tartars overnight, for example, the Tartars are generally Eat two main meals, eat the first meal from Mao to Chen in the morning [[-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning], and eat the second meal after noon or at noon [[-]:[-] to [-]:[-] noon]. This time it happened to be the second meal. He rushed to Xiaogu Mountain before the meal and forced the Tartars to come out for a decisive battle, which was regarded as a victory for the Tartars. Although this seemed insignificant, in the eyes of the staff, it was a big deal. Although this meal is a small matter, people are iron, and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. The staff estimates that this battle will be fought at least until dark, that is to say, it will be fought for at least three hours. Above, this meal seems to have little to do with it, but in the end, it is obvious that the strength after eating is more, and the hope of winning is also greater.Although Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, he was not out of his wits and readily accepted the advice of the staff, forcing the Tartars to come out for a decisive battle when the Tartars were having their second meal.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't intend to say too much. On this small hill, the generals gathered in front, and the soldiers behind. Not far away, there were Tartars approaching quickly.

"Prince Wang, please raise the flag..." Yuan Chonghuan shouted in front of many soldiers.Running all the way, killing the enemy all the way, everyone's faces were excited and flushed.

Following Yuan Chonghuan's shout, a special cavalry team came from behind the team. These people held a flag. Unlike other flags, these flags were covered with women's clothes. This is the women's clothes flag.

"Our family wishes Mr. Yuan every success." Wang Yingqi took this special flag and interspersed among the soldiers. This women's flag was so dazzling that it fluttered in the wind, attracting the attention of all soldiers.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for your support." Yuan Chonghuan said solemnly.

"You don't need to thank our family, but please trouble Master Yuan to equip us with a team of power and bravery to protect the flag. Although our family can't fight, we can still cheer for you..." Supervising Army Wang Yingqi also said solemnly.

"It's time for you to work." Yuan Chonghuan beckoned, summoned a general, gave a few orders, and finished explaining.Then he shouted: "Today, set up the flag here. If the flag goes forward, you will be a man, even if you are a man, you will die to the front; if you retreat behind this flag of women's clothing, you will not be able to say that you are a man in the future. Don't say that you are a man, let alone that you are from Jinning, set up a flag..." Yuan Chonghuan shouted solemnly.

Following Yuan Chonghuan's shout, Wang Yingqi's women's flag team at the front of the team neatly planted the flag on the ridge of this small isolated mountain, and the flag could be seen in all directions, fluttering with the wind, majestic.Following the erection of these flags, a more determined look appeared on the faces of the people present.

"Zu Dale listens to the order!" Yuan Chonghuan sternly shouted.

"The end is here!" Zu Dale said.

"I order you to take the troops from the headquarters to attack and kill the Tartars." Yuan Chonghuan ordered in a loud voice.There are about five or six thousand people in the Tazi brigade coming from the opposite side. Yuan Chonghuan is ready to fight directly. He shouts, confronts, and forms. At this moment, all of them are unnecessary. Yuan Chonghuan knows that what he needs is blood. , what is needed is courage, and what is needed is to know shame and be brave. Yuan Chonghuan firmly believes that he can win this battle.

"The last general has orders!" Zu Dale returned to Yuan Chonghuan, and immediately returned to his own formation.

"Jinning's men,...follow me..." Zu Dale returned to the front of his team, raised his arms and shouted, then swung his arms fiercely, pointing the knife in his hand at the Tartar brigade ahead.

"Men!..." The soldiers shouted in response, and the only slogan they shouted was the strange word "Men", which was a little different from the shouting of fighting and killing in the past.

"Men!..." Zu Dale took the lead, and the first team rushed down the small slope, followed by [-] soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers shouted "Men!" The people who go down are strong.

Without the slightest hesitation, the cavalry led by Zu Dale charged directly at the oncoming Tartars.

……

Dorgon led 5000 troops and rushed over. He saw that the Ming army seemed to be serious on Xiaotupo. It's the same as the clothes. Just wondering, a man and horse rushed down from the small slope and rushed directly to him. There was no questioning before the formation, and there was no confrontation.

Dorgon was planning to stop and confront each other for a while, or to find out who is coming and how many troops the opponent has. Maybe he can intimidate the Ming Dynasty army on the opposite side. Just as he slowed down, he saw a The Ming army rushed down without any intention of stopping, which made his original plan come to naught. The speed that gradually slowed down had to be raised again to prepare for a hedge. When cavalry fights, all they care about is breath and speed. , If you stop and wait for others to charge, the cavalry without speed is really not very good, and you will suffer a lot.

"Drive..." Dorgon clamped his horse's belly, shouted loudly, and rushed up.

……

The two cavalrymen collided instantly.

There is no fancy, no particularity, no words, only the dull sound of horseshoes, only the dull sound of impact, and only the sound of sharp knives piercing flesh.

The battle became intense in an instant, with swords and swords flying, and flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The neighing of war horses, the roar of battle, and the collision of weapons are intertwined.

……

Yuan Chonghuan stood on the small slope, calmly watching the battle of tens of thousands of horses in front of him. From time to time, there were roars and screams, but Yuan Chonghuan just pretended not to see them.The soldiers behind him also had solemn faces, waiting quietly.The fierce battle, even watching it here, still makes people's blood rush upwards, there is no retreat, and there is no show, only life for life, injury for injury.

"Futai, it seems the Tartar brigade is here." He Kegang called out.Now the battle of tens of thousands of people below is quite fierce, and the battle strength of the two sides is almost equal, and it is still impossible to tell the winner.Now on the opposite side, there is another group of Tartars, and this group is much larger than the one just now.

"Well, let's see, Ke Gang, roughly how many Tartars are there?" Yuan Chonghuan asked slightly, keeping his eyes on the battlefield below, or the battalion battalion approaching in the distance.

"My lord, according to the general, there are almost ten thousand here, at least not less than ten thousand..." He Kegang measured the number of people by eye, and then said.

"Ten thousand? That is to say, the main force of the Tartars is almost all out? I don't know how many people are still defending the Tartar camp..." Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"My lord, it's hard to say, and it's hard to say whether the main force is coming this time. We'll know when the last general goes to test it out." He Kegang said.

"Well, there are tens of thousands of reinforcements coming directly to the Tartars this time, but are you sure about it?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"Don't worry, my lord. Ke Gang knows what he's doing, and he won't miss your lord's business. Although the final general is not as good at charging as Da Le, he is more tenacious. It's just right to hold back these tartars!" He Kegang said lightly. , 5000 people went to fight against [-] Tartars, but He Kegang didn't feel much.

Zu Dale was now in full swing with the five thousand Tartars, and the ten thousand Tartars who came now were held back by He Kegang. Once this one Tartar was held back, Daming's chances of winning would be great. Futai Yuan Chonghuan led the rest of the troops to fight the five thousand Tartars who fought fiercely with Zu Dale. It is estimated that the five thousand Tartars could be defeated in one fell swoop, thus forming a partial victory. After the five thousand Tartars were dealt with, Looking back, I will clean up the rest of the Tartars. As for those Tartars in the big camp, they probably dare not leave the camp. Not every Tartar is good at fighting. Wait.

"Ke Gang wait a moment, don't rush!" Yuan Chonghuan asked after thinking about it.

"My lord?" He Kegang asked.

"5000 people are too few. I will give you another 7000 soldiers. Are you sure you can hold off the [-] Tartars with [-] troops?" It is better to increase some.

"Thank you, my lord. There is no problem." He Kegang said gratefully. He Kegang went with the determination to drag 5000 Tartars with [-] troops. Five thousand Tartars created the conditions. Daming has an advantage over the Tartars in terms of military strength. As long as the combat power is equal, the victory will always be shifted to this side. But he dragged [-] Tartars with five thousand, and the consequences are probably not so easy to bear. of. [He Kegang died quite heroically in history, and he can definitely be regarded as a person who faced death directly. 】

"Go!" Yuan Chonghuan said quietly, and these words entered He Kegang's ears with the sound of slashing, roaring, and clashing of weapons.

"The general will get the order!" He Kegang agreed in response.

……

"Men in Jinning..." He Kegang shouted with all his might, blushing like Zu Dale.

"...Follow me..." Su Zhe He Kegang raised his arms and swung his saber.

"Men!" With this strange shout, seven thousand cavalry rushed towards the Tartars in the distance like roaring waves.

"Men!!" Zhuang Xing's roar still sounded from behind.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't intend to give the Tatars any chance to breathe. As soon as the enemy appeared, he immediately went up to stick the enemy. Here, his Jinning's force is dominant, and Jinning is his home field. Although Jinning's infantry usually They didn't dare to go out of the city, but now that it's such a special moment, there is no such thing as not daring to go out of the city.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the two streams of iron that were about to collide calmly, full of confidence.The soldiers behind him were full of perseverance.

……

Ji Erhalang hastily assembled the troops of the camp, dispatched more than [-] troops, and almost dispatched all the elites in the camp. As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he saw a Ming Dynasty official soldier running towards him, almost without a trace. Giving him a chance to catch his breath, Jierhalang was also secretly surprised, when did the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty not be afraid of death?Take the initiative to hit him?
Ji Erhalang is also a veteran on the battlefield. Seeing the seemingly endless Ming Dynasty's troops rushing out from behind the small slope, he knew that this was a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, so he waved his hand immediately, and immediately rushed out Only men and horses went to intercept, and Jierharang knew that all the men and horses could not be thrown into the battlefield at once, and enough power and brave teams must be left in case of emergencies. If all of them were stuck, there would be big trouble.

Jierhalang looked in surprise at the troops running down from the small slope, which seemed endless. Knowing that he sent too few people, he waved his hand again, and a cavalry rushed out of the side two moments later, chasing the cavalry in front.

Jierhalang was secretly startled. On the battlefield not far away, it seemed that Dorgon and the Ming Dynasty army were fighting. It seemed that they had been fighting for a long time. The movements and bravery of the troops on both sides were obviously not as good as they were just now. The two horses are strong when they collide.

When did the Ming Dynasty stop being afraid of death?How dare you fight Daikin to the death?Looking at the remaining troops behind him, Ji Erhalang was even more frightened!Originally, he wanted to help Dorgon and quickly end the fierce battle over there, but when he saw the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers on the small slope not far away, Jierhalang dared not move again. , This battle obviously depends on whose stamina is strong. If you use your last power and courage too early, you may not be sure if you will win this battle.

……

He Kegang led 7000 troops, shouting the word "Men", and collided with the Tartars without any fanfare.The opening scene was almost exactly the same as Zu Dale's, with the sound of violent collisions, fighting, and wailing erupting in an instant.

Fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, on this battlefield, there is nothing but fighting and fighting.

On the battlefield, a strange thing happened. Both sides had a group of troops standing on the sidelines to fight, even though the troops in the middle of the battlefield fought fiercely, as if this fight had nothing to do with them.

Jierhalang didn't move, neither did Yuan Chonghuan.

……

"My lord, it seems that not all the Tatars have been thrown into the battlefield. At least 4000 people have not moved." A general beside Yuan Chonghuan said in an anxious voice, looking at the glued battlefield.

"It's okay, he didn't move, that's because I didn't move here either." Yuan Chonghuan said lightly.

"But, my lord..." This general became anxious. The situation on the two big battlefields below can only be described as tragic. Dead men and dead horses, flags, and weapons have all been left on the grass. Take a breath, people keep falling to the ground, the longer the battle goes on, the more people die.

"It's okay! Don't disturb the morale of the army..." Yuan Chonghuan said lightly, and while speaking, he turned his attention to the soldiers behind him, and at a glance, the faces of the soldiers were full of fortitude.

"The last general knows his mistake!" The general who just spoke hastily admitted his mistake. On the battlefield, a little bit of fatigue is very fatal. If his anxious face is seen by the people behind, it will be bad for morale. Not a small blow.

……

Holding a binoculars, Jierhalang was also carefully observing the team that was facing him across the "battlefield".

"Governor of Liaodong Yuan..." Jierhalang put down the binoculars and said, he had already identified who was confronting him from the flag.

"Master, it should be Yuan Manzi. With so many Ming Dynasty officials and troops, only Yuan Manzi can command them." A servant said in an affirmative tone.

"That's right, Yuan Manzi has a lot of strength. He dared to fight my big gold in the open field. He really had the guts of a leopard..." Jierhalang looked down on Yuan Chonghuan, but he was also puzzled in his heart. Seeing that there were many "special" flags planted beside Yuan Chonghuan's banner, Jierhalang studied it carefully and decided that these were the clothes worn by women in the Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty people dared to take them when they were full. Women's clothes as flags?Still swaggering in front of the army?Why?Jierharang's heart sank.

……

On Matsuyama Fort.

The sound of fighting in the distance also blew to Songshan Castle along with the wind.Such a large-scale slaughter is by no means comparable to the short-lived scout battles in the past.

"My lord, shouldn't Master Yuan and the others come to rescue us?" A general asked in a complicated tone on the Songshan Fort.

"Probably not!" Zu Dashou's full beard had not been shaved for a long time. He had no energy or mood to shave due to the harassing battles of the Tartars. Now the beard was left on his face. Almost takes up the entire face.

Zu Dashou was puzzled, the order he had received was to defend the Songshan Fort, maybe half a year, maybe longer, and as for the rescue outside, he probably didn't think about it, it was just scouting, and he was looking for horses.Zu Dashou is also ready to run out of ammunition and food, and it is not half a year yet, and the food is still sufficient, so the higher-ups are in a hurry to save him so soon?Logically speaking, the higher-ups would never make great efforts to save him until he ran out of ammunition and food. Could something have happened?
Now the sound of fighting outside is not a scout battle, it is obviously tens of thousands of horses fighting for a long time, because the hills block the reason, he can't see the battle outside here, he can only hear the sound, and he can only hear the sound of the battle. Guess.

Zu Dashou held up the binoculars again, and what he could see was the dust rising from the other side of the mountain, and the relatively empty Tartar camp in the distance.

……

On the small lonely mountain.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the battlefield below with a calm face.

"Staff Yang, how many people are there in the Tartars, can you count them all?" Yuan Chonghuan asked, he didn't rush up to stick to the Tartars like Zu Dale and He Kegang, he was still waiting for one thing.

"Huifutai, it should be between [-] and [-]..." The staff officer surnamed Yang who was called replied, he had been writing and calculating.

"Oh, 8000 Tartars, there are only more than 3000 Tartars in total. Excluding the Tartars we cleaned up when we came, the Tartars can be counted as [-] at most. , a total of two to three thousand people, right?" Yuan Chonghuan asked calmly.

"Your Majesty Futai, it should be the same. If you count the scouting horses scattered in all directions and have not had time to take them back, in reality, the Tartar camp should not exceed [-]." The staff officer surnamed Yang replied.

"Then are there two thousand in the camp, or three thousand? Or just one thousand, and the rest are outside?" Yuan Chonghuan asked solemnly.

"Returning to my lord, this is hard to say. Not only is it hard to predict how many elites are in the camp, but also how many scouts are sent outside, but according to common sense, most of them should be in the camp. Two thousand, for those outside, at most one thousand... Moreover, in the big camp, there should not be many elites, and in the Tartars, there are also three, six, and nine ranks, and the ranks are very clear. It is estimated that there must be such a group of people on the Tartar side, and this group of people should not be regarded as elites, they can only make up the number..." the staff officer surnamed Yang said.

"Well, that's it!... According to me, the leader of this group of Tartars must be leading the elite. If I don't move, I won't move there. I will try my skills when I go down. If the skills are weak, it means that there are still elites in the camp. If it is a group of strong Tartars, that is to say, there are not many elites in the camp. Now, there are more than a thousand Tartars, it shouldn’t be a bad thing... When Master Zhang’s infantry left Jinzhou City and arrived at Songshan Fort, they gathered with Zu Dashou, and together they attacked the Tartar camp from the trench dug by the Tartars. Let's see, the Tartars' camp is on fire, are they in a hurry, are they still determined to fight..." Yuan Chonghuan couldn't hold back anymore, and was about to launch a plan without fully ascertaining the situation.

"My lord, the situation of the enemy is not yet clear. Your lord, as the commander, cannot charge in person. Once your lord is caught in the battlefield, who will command the overall situation? If your lord is injured on the battlefield, the consequences will be unimaginable!" the staff officer surnamed Yang persuaded.

"It doesn't matter, even if there are frauds in the camp of the Tartars, don't be afraid, even if Mr. Song is robbed halfway, it doesn't matter. Zu Dashou and the others can try to attack from Songshan Fort. The Tartars have dug so much outside Songshan Fort. The ditches and channels are not suitable for cavalry to run, but only for infantry. If Master Zhang is robbed halfway, relying on the infantry at Zu Dashou's place, just make a move to attack the Tartar camp, make a noise, and light the fire , I think, once the Tatars know that the camp has been attacked, they probably won’t have the heart to fight, and I, Ming, won this battle..." Yuan Chonghuan said, he couldn't wait to follow the plan step by step.Because the battle situation below is really too tragic. It is a life-threatening fight. If you slash me, I will pay you back. Whoever can't resist first will fall to the ground first.

This kind of tragic battle has exceeded Yuan Chonghuan's expectations. Yuan Chonghuan originally expected that this battle would take two or three hours, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid it will not last that long. The people on the battlefield , in less than two hours, he will definitely be dead.

"My lord..." the staff officer surnamed Yang said.

"Come here! Send someone to send an order to Zu Dashou of Songshan Fort to prepare to attack the Tatar camp from Songshan Fort and burn the food and grass of the Tartars with all their strength. If it is not possible, we must do our best to attack It looks like, at least, he has to make a noise and start the fire. If he doesn't make a noise and the smoke doesn't burn too much, then we may all have to explain here. It would be better if he can wait until Mr. Song, and if he can't Now, let him lead the troops to attack, now is noon, let him attack at the second quarter of Shen Shi no matter what..." Yuan Chonghuan ordered, the current situation is much crueler than originally expected.

Originally, I planned to extend the fighting time to the evening, but now it seems that it is almost impossible. The scene of blood and flesh flying on the battlefield is too cruel. It is not easy to survive for a while. They didn't go until the evening, and now, Yuan Chonghuan could only explain the matter in advance, and was ready to give it a go.

"Little one, take the order!" Another captain who was in charge of delivering the order took the order and left.

"Come on! Send an order to Mr. Song Weisong of Jinzhou, telling him to lead his troops to Songshan Fort at the end of the hour, and tell him that they will be safe only if they run to the tunnel north of Songshan Fort as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be safe on flat ground." The Tartar cavalry caught up, but don't blame them for their fate..." Yuan Chonghua's stunned energy broke out again.

"Little one, take the order!" A school captain in charge of delivering the order immediately agreed loudly, mounted his horse, and galloped out quickly.

Yuan Chonghuan was thinking about his chances of winning. Logically speaking, the chances of winning should be quite high.Now that the main force of the Tartars is forced out for a decisive battle, there are no Tartars around Songshan Fort, so the infantry can run from Jinzhou to Songshan Fort. Jinzhou is very close to Songshan Fort, but only twenty or thirty miles away. At the fastest speed, it only takes half an hour to run over. When the infantry reaches Songshan Fort, the power of the infantry will be displayed. In order to besiege Songshan Fort, the Tartars dug a mess of ditches around Songshan Fort for defense. The cannons and grenades on the city wall, and the outermost part, even has a horse-proof ditch, more than one foot wide, which is specially designed to defend against people coming to rescue. Now, it provides convenience for Yuan Chonghuan. Well, there are trenches everywhere, and it is impossible to ride horses, and the infantry has taken advantage of it. Therefore, there is also the matter of transferring infantry from Jinzhou. After the infantry ran to the field, they attacked the Tartar camp from Songshan Fort. , Attacking the Tartars from both sides, Yuan Chonghuan believed that as long as Songshanbao attacked the Tartar camp, he would definitely win.
