After a few young eunuchs lurked in the rocks at the entrance of the valley, they saw a steady stream of cavalry rushing out of the camp and heading straight south to observe less than half a cup of tea. Chang Yu had a smile on his face, even if it wasn't the whole camp, it was almost the same. !
Immediately, he ordered all the troops under his command to lurk at the mouth of the valley and prepare for battle.
Tu Yuan and Fan Jiaqian led the 300 Gongzi battalion, while Jiawai and Li Tiezhu led the Jinwu Guard's elite cavalry and infantry battalions to listen to the eunuch's orders, and sent another hundred infantry battalions for other purposes.
With all the instructions in place, the Qing army's front troops have begun to enter the mountain road. Everyone holds their breath and listens. As soon as Wu Sangui's signal is sent, they will immediately go out to kill the enemy!
Quietly, quietly, everyone held their breath, waiting for the signal to be given and the whole army to attack. There was silence all around. The sound of eagles flying, rabbits walking and even ants farting could be clearly heard. .
The cold wind howled, rolling over the snow all over the mountains and plains. Abatai wore armor, straddled a sword, and walked with a rein. His eyes could not hide the murderous look. Hauge beside him had a gloomy face and he didn't know what he was thinking. The warrior Nikan But unexpectedly disappeared.
"Report to your lord, the Qing army has set up a formation within two miles of the mountain pass and is not allowed to cross the border to investigate. The slaves searched the top of the mountain pass and found that the Ming army had gathered more than 20,000 troops." There is a report coming from a visiting horse.
"Uncle Seventh King, the Ming army is well prepared this time." Hauge raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Abatai smiled coldly, "It's a bluff, I'm a guilty thief, I'm afraid something bad has happened to Luo Luohun." He said, turning to stare at Hauge, "It doesn't matter how many men he has, once he gets out of the mountain pass, he will charge directly without saying a word, capture the thief and the king, hold on." After him, Ningyuan City was in the pocket, and this was a great achievement, even if Luo Luohun was killed, our merits outweighed our faults, and the regent would not pursue it."
Hauge nodded vigorously, his eyes became firm and bloodthirsty, looking at the vast white mountains in the distance, his eyes seemed to have drifted across the mountains, and when he arrived in front of Shanhaiguan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was very playful.
The Qing army has entered the mountain road. It is not too narrow for three horses to run parallel to each other, and the mountains on both sides are not steep. After all, this is just a rolling hilly area with more rocks and mixed forests. It is not a deep mountain and old forest.
Halfway through the journey, they suddenly saw thick smoke rising into the sky from the south. They knew it was the Ming army's beacon tower on Shoushan Mountain, which was signaling a warning. However, this made Abatai and Hauge confused. What do you mean by inviting me here to warn you again?
They were puzzled, but the two of them didn't think much about it. At this moment, they were planning to leave the mountain pass and kill Wu Sangui without talking nonsense. Let you see whether the Qing cavalry is more bloodthirsty and cruel than two years ago.
Half gone! In the Ming army camp outside the mountain pass, Wu Sangui, who was wearing heavy armor, had a solemn expression. He looked back at the thick smoke on the top of the mountain and clenched his fists tightly.
"Supervisor, Supervisor, there is a puff of smoke." At the same time, the little eunuch lurking in the wild valley in the west also received the signal. Seeing that most of the Qing cavalry had entered the mountain road, a sinister smile appeared on his face. Dorgon's nightmare was coming. .
Looking to the north, more than a hundred soldiers from the carefully selected infantry battalion have gone north to lurk in the wilderness five miles away from the enemy camp of the Qing army. Looking east again, there is only a small section of the Qing army's cavalry outside the mountain road, and it takes less than half. A cup of tea will put everything into the urn.
"General, there's two puffs of smoke"
Chen Jianghu shouted low, Wu Sangui turned to look at Shou Mountain, and saw another puff of wolf smoke. He knew that the Qing army would be leaving the valley in two miles!
"fire"
Wu Sangui gave the order, and two cannons were immediately pulled to the front of the formation. After adjusting the muzzles slightly, Wu Sangui personally held a torch on his horse and lit the fuse.
There were several groups of Qing army spies, about forty or fifty people, wandering around the mountain pass. The Ming army intercepted them and refused to let them cross the border. They could only linger nearby and watch the Ming army's movements from a distance.
Seeing a slight commotion in the Ming army camp, I was confused and couldn't see clearly. A group of spies were about to drive their horses closer to investigate when there was a sudden loud noise, which frightened the people and caused them to flip over. They were so shocked that they couldn't react before they could react. It was a loud noise that spread dozens of miles away.
The shells landed at the mountain pass, causing Tan Ma to flee in all directions.
Abatai and Hauge, who were on the march, were also shocked by the sudden sound of artillery. They quickly stopped their horses, asked what was going on, and sent people to investigate ahead.
He then raised his head and looked towards the ridge next to him, where there were several spies doing reconnaissance from a high position, but he saw him shouting something loudly, waving his hands and running wildly down the mountain.
There must have been some great change, and Abbate felt something bad. The soldiers had not yet returned from the investigation, but they could vaguely hear the sound of killing, and it was getting closer and louder, shaking the mountain like an earthquake.
The front army suddenly began to be restless and noisy. Abatai and Hauge were shocked. They rushed up the slope on horseback and looked forward. They saw dozens of spies rushing toward the valley entrance. The front army was already in chaos.
What is going on? Who can tell me what happened?
"The Ming army is coming." The soldier ran back with a frightened look on his face. "Sir, the Ming army is coming. There are tens of thousands of people blocking the mountain pass..."
Abatai and Hauge were shocked. Why did the Ming army suddenly take action first? Could it be that those spies angered this guy too much? It's unlikely when you think about it.
Now is not the time to investigate the reasons, but how to respond.
In a hurry, the Ming army made a surprise attack, launching an attack just before the Qing army came out of the valley entrance, blocking them in the valley. The mountain roads were crowded and there were rocks and trees that were not suitable for cavalry operations, and their combat effectiveness would be reduced by more than half.
It seems that the Ming army should be prepared to fight. Wu Sangui's appointment with him this time was a trick. Abatai understood at this time that although he was angry and even a little panicked, he was not afraid. After all, he was experienced. A veteran of hundreds of battles, he has never seen any big scenes.
Not to mention, during the Battle of Songjin, the Qing army encountered the Ming army many times, which was many times larger than its own. However, every time it was not killed, the Ming army threw away their helmets and armor, crying for their fathers and mothers and fled in embarrassment.
Wu Sangui was cunning. Although he blocked him in the valley and reduced the combat effectiveness of his cavalry, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty were extremely powerful in individual combat. The cavalry of the Ming army also failed to show its fighting power. As the saying goes, the brave will win when we meet on a small road. Let me show you what it means to be brave!
Abate immediately ordered his soldiers to fight, and those who retreated and were afraid of the battle were killed. At the same time, he ordered Hauge's troops to bypass the front army from the east flank and flank the Ming army. Since Wu Sangui made the first move, whether he was killed or captured this time, Both him and Dorgon have their reasons, and no one can be blamed.
Immediately riding up the slope, Abatai looked at the mouth of the valley. A large number of Ming cavalry had poured into the valley. They stretched their bows and held swords to kill the generals. The front troops of the Qing army had not yet reacted from the panic. They hurriedly faced the battle in a slightly embarrassed manner, but were overwhelmed by the tide. The general Ming army retreated continuously, and there were figures fighting fiercely all over the mountains and plains. Some stretched their bows and shot arrows, some fought with swords, some fought on horseback, and some dismounted and fought on foot...
The sound of killing was all over the place, and it was extremely tragic. Abatai's face was solemn. Wu Sangui used all the troops in the city to block him at the mouth of the valley. It was obvious that he had been planning for a long time. It seemed that this little brat planned to eat his own troops. .
The ambition of the wolf was obvious, and the so-called begging for a teacher was just a trap, or some major changes in the situation in the Ming court caused Wu Sangui to suddenly change his mind and use his plan to bite Dorgon.
But none of this mattered now, but how to kill this kid. Abatai felt a little anxious. If it was a field battle, his eight thousand cavalry would be unstoppable. But now the cavalry's combat power is reduced, and there are so many Ming troops. I'm just afraid... I thought about looking back, and at the worst, I could withdraw from the valley and lead the Ming army across the mountain. When they get there, hehe... Suddenly, his face froze with a sneer.
As soon as the sound of cannons passed, Wu Sangui gave an order, and his general led nearly 10,000 cavalry and rushed straight to the mouth of the valley. The infantry followed closely behind, and they arrived two miles away in a blink of an eye.
Shen Jianghu took the lead and led his troops into the valley first, just in time to meet the frightened and confused Qing army forward. Without saying anything, he shot a shower of arrows, and he hit the horse with his sword and killed him.
As more and more Ming troops poured in, the valley became congested, and the enemy and us were everywhere fighting each other, fighting on horseback or abandoning their horses to chase each other on the hillside.
Wu Sangui at the mouth of the valley had a cold face and shouted from time to time to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely. "The Tatars are only a few thousand, and they are blocked in the valley and unable to move. We are killing the Tatars to make money!"
