Chang Yu and his entourage rushed towards the mountain peak. There were constant warnings everywhere, and even the mountains behind started to warn. This made him feel bad in his heart. He hurriedly climbed up to the guard post above the entrance of the cave, looking through the telescope despite his panting. Suddenly he was shocked.
I saw soldiers and horses coming out from the direction of the Qing army's camp in the northeast, divided into two groups, one heading to the southwest, and the other heading to the foot of the west mountain. Most of them were infantry, with artillery and baggage behind them.
Is the Qing army going to attack the mountain? Chang Yu took a deep breath and realized that the soldiers and horses heading southwest must be heading towards the entrance of Heifeng Valley. He was thinking about climbing towards the top of the mountain.
Looking from afar at the top of the peak, I guessed it right. The army and horses began to gather outside Heifeng Mountain. Looking back at the foot of the west mountain, the Qing army was divided into two groups. One was arrayed at the foot of the mountain, and the other had tens of thousands of cavalry. Pushing a few miles eastward, they lined up outside Ningyuan City and waited.
Obviously, these tens of thousands of cavalry were to prevent Wu Sangui from leaving the city for rescue. He was so determined that he set off to the west.
The Qing army's attack on the mountain was really a surprise to Chang Yu. Last night, he categorically said that Dorgon could not waste time on a barren mountain because it had no value.
Suddenly, they were slapped in the face overnight. The Qing army was about to attack the mountain, and it looked like it was going to be a heavy punch and a thunderous attack.
Why? Why would Dorgon do such a meaningless thing?
Chang Yu really couldn't understand. At this time, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong, who were watching at the top of Ningyuan City, were also confused. After preparing for the battle all night, the Qing army stopped coming and turned to attack the mountain. Why on earth was this?
After all, Chang Yu is not a god, and he has failed to take into account the hearts of the people!
Hauge sold him.
It is said that yesterday Dorgon's men were debating whether to attack the city or the mountain. Hauge was named and offended everyone with his words. The old method is a painless one. Moreover, all the generals in the battle yesterday had no success, but he stood out from the crowd. Let's mention it again. The old method felt a bit like teasing everyone, and it immediately became the target of public criticism.
"Say something useful." Even Dorgon was secretly unhappy.
Hauge wanted to ignore it, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he proposed to attack the mountain instead, with a very determined attitude.
And the reason is sufficient: when the army first arrived, when the morale and armaments were at their peak, they did not break the city in one fell swoop. Fighting again this time would be in vain. It would be better to attack the mountain and catch big fish.
Where can big fish come from the mountains? Everyone is confused.
Hauge then said that he had fought several fierce battles with the Ming army outside Heifeng Mountain, and had discovered eunuch troops. He learned from a dying prisoner that there was an admiral of Dongchang sent by Emperor Ming to supervise the battle in the mountain. At that time, he thought the joke was not credible, but later heard that Azige and others said that the heavy armored cavalry was flying the palace flag, and they contacted each other...
Everyone in the tent was shocked, Dorgon was stunned for a while, and even Fan Wencheng's dead fish eyes, which had always been dim and dull, showed a look of shock.
No wonder, no wonder! As expected, the person playing chess behind the scenes was not Wu Sangui's little brat, but someone else, a famous person around the emperor.
No wonder the heavy armored cavalry was present in the ambush of Abatai, the sneak attack on Duduo, the night attack on the camp, and those who broke through the Qing army's rear formation. It turned out that the elite of the Ming army was in the mountains. Yes, the big fish was naturally hiding in the mountains. Take the best with you.
At this time, it seemed that Ning Yuancheng was just a bait. The real hunter had been hiding in the Western Mountains, and it was also the oriole that had been lurking behind, always staring at his mantis.
Gongzi flag, Gongzi flag... Dorgon gritted his teeth with hatred, but he also felt a sense of unexpected joy. As Hauge said, the Ming army once again made Ningyuan City's defense fortifications impregnable in one afternoon. The city has not been broken. Not only is the number of armaments and morale now much worse than before, how can we fight?
Instead of doing this, it is better to attack the mountain first, defeat the elite of the Ming army, and catch the big fish. Ningyuan City still didn't believe it... So Dorgon made the decision to attack the mountain tomorrow, and the generals seconded the proposal.
People's hearts are complicated. Why did Hauge suddenly sell Chang Yu? This kind of psychology is difficult to explain. First of all, Dorgon has been targeting him everywhere and forcing him to express his position. If he continues to respond passively, it will be too abnormal and make Dorgon Secondly, he really didn't want Dorgon to attack Ningyuan City again, because he was afraid of what would happen if he was really defeated.
Although Ningyuan is a small town, it is of great significance. From a small perspective, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty did not capture it in person. He, Dorgon, captured it as soon as he came. That is too shameless. From a large perspective, this city is It is the only city outside Daming Pass. If it is destroyed, all the foreign lands outside Daming Pass will be lost! The territory of the Qing Dynasty was expanding by hundreds of miles.
So no matter how big it is, its influence is too great. If Dorgon succeeds, his influence in the court will become even more prosperous! Sitting firmly on the throne of regent and controlling the government with one hand, he will never be able to stand out again.
This is something Hauge definitely doesn't want to see.
Secondly, because he felt that he was being eaten to death by Daming's little eunuch, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his bones. He wanted to use Dorgon's hand to give the little eunuch some pain to make him stop being so arrogant and proud!
Kill two birds with one stone, why not!
As expected, everything went according to his own script. Dorgon mobilized an army to attack Xishan. Hauge felt so proud. He didn't expect that he could play tricks with his mind and tricks. Who the hell said I was weak and incompetent?
With the wrath of thunder, Dorgon used the whole battalion to attack the mountain in front and back. It was vast and murderous. Chang Yu did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately ordered the whole army to come out of the cave to prepare for the battle, and summoned his generals to discuss how to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Dorgon's plan for a night was not only the fury of thunder, but also the power of thunder. The messenger had just entered the cave to deliver the order. When Chang Yu and others were discussing in the woods on the top of the mountain, they suddenly heard that the ground was shaking and the Qing army was full of firepower. Open, nearly a hundred rounds of artillery shells poured in overwhelmingly.
In the blink of an eye, the mountains were in chaos, fires broke out everywhere, and the Ming army was terrified.
The artillery shells were not long-lasting, like heavy rain. Such a large formation of the Qing army also made Chang Yu frown. The group of people were worried about being injured by stray bullets and hurriedly hid under the rocks.
Before and after Dorgon divided his troops this time, he used artillery to clear the way for the army to suppress the border. Hauge led 15,000 troops to supervise the battle in Heifeng Mountain. Azig led a frontal attack with more than 20,000 troops in Qianshan, while Nikan commanded nearly 30,000 troops. The cavalry was arrayed between Ningyuan City and Xishan to prevent Wu Sangui from sending troops for reinforcements.
Play hard! Chang Yu snorted coldly and said to the generals: "Dorgon has made a desperate move, so we will fight with him to determine the outcome."
Just how to determine the universe?
The little eunuch and Li Yan looked at each other: "It's a little ahead of schedule, but we can make it in time."
Li Yan stood up and looked eastward with a calm expression: "That's enough for one day and one night!"
"Then I'll help you!" Chang Yu patted him on the shoulder.
"The governor's words are serious, it's a matter of humble duty." He said to Chang Yu, cupping his hands and fists, and turned to leave.
Everyone else raised their eyebrows, what do you mean? Is Li Yan leaving after the war?
Yes, Li Yan really left. He led more than ten people to find a way through the mountains and sneaked out of the mountains to the southeast.
Whether it was a ruthless game or a big show, Chang Yu planned to accompany him to the end. After Li Yan left, when he saw the Qing infantry at the foot of the mountain preparing to attack the city, he ordered his artillery to fight back.
At the same time, Tu Yuan was ordered to lead Li Yan's 3,000 troops and horses together with Wuzhong's Black Wolf Battalion to defend the back mountain. The rest were left in the front mountain to meet the enemy. At the same time, he ordered the flag bearer to pass the order to Wu Sangui in the city for him to cooperate in the battle.
