In the wilderness northwest of Songshan Castle, the king's army was assembled, the army was in strict formation, and the momentum was magnificent.
Zhang Ruoqi, the commander-in-chief of the army, was filled with excitement. He laughed "haha" and said: "With the gathering of kings and troops, we will definitely win the battle and break the siege of Jinzhou in one battle."
Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, said with a smile: "What Zhang Jianjun said is true."
Zhang Ruoqi turned to Hong Chengchou and said excitedly: "After this battle, Governor Hong's name will be spread throughout Liaodong, which will make the Eastern slaves feel chilled when they hear it. The emperor will also be greatly relieved and reward Governor Hong generously!"
What he said made Hong Chengchou speechless and didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Li Song, the Zhongjun Zanhua, reminded him: "Master, the auspicious time has come."
Hong Chengchou nodded calmly and said: "Blow the trumpet!"
Chen Zhongcai, the deputy general of the Central Army of the Supervisory Biao Camp, took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Blow the horn!"
"Ohh Ohh ohh!"
The horns sounded in front of the Chinese army array, and a thrilling atmosphere instantly spread. All the generals in the army turned their heads to look at the position of the Chinese army to observe the flag order, while the commander-in-chief and team officers looked at each other. Looking at the general's location, the army array started to stir slightly.
Hong Chengchou looked unmoved and shouted again: "Drumming!"
"Boom!"
The big drum in a drum cart placed directly in front of the Chinese army array was beating, and the rich drum sound immediately spread throughout the fields, shocking people's hearts.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The drummer knocked three more times. Suddenly, the big drums on a row of drum carts beat in unison. Then, from the front army to the center army, from the left army to the right army, the drum music of the whole army responded, with drums, cuos, canopies, etc. All kinds of military utensils were making noise.
Hong Chengchou raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go!"
Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, served as the temporary commander of the attacking army. He turned back and glanced at the high platform of the Chinese army from a distance, then mobilized his horses and headed east slowly.
Then, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty marched in densely to the sound of passionate drum music and the beating of war drums, with a torrent of iron armor, banners like a sea, and a huge red cloud covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
The sea of people rolled like a tide, and the sound of iron hoofs on the ground rumbled, resounding through the sky, and the earth trembled!
Look at the grand scene of the army covering the sky and the sun, and the magnificent scene of thousands of troops marching together.
Commander-in-Chief Zhang Ruoqi couldn't help but raise his head, looked up to the sky and chanted loudly, expressing his endless pride:
"The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all returned, and the enemy can be destroyed when Taibai enters the moon.
The enemy can be destroyed, and his head will be destroyed, and he will walk on the intestines of the beard and touch the blood of the beard.
The beard hangs in the blue sky, and the beard is buried beside the purple plug.
If there is no one in the world, the Han Dynasty will prosper! "

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui, Shuo Tuo's Zhenghong Banner has been attacked by the southerners in a hurry, and he has sent people twice to ask for help." Zhen Gumu, Gushan'e, the right banner of Dongtumote, reminded softly beside Dorgon.
On the mountain city of Rufeng Mountain, generals such as Prince Dorgon of Heshuorui of the Qing Dynasty and Prince Haoge of Su were paying close attention to the movements of the Ming army.
I saw the dark sea of Ming soldiers stretching across the sky, undulating along the mountains and hills in the distance. They were marching in formation towards the east. The direction seemed to be towards Huangtu Ridge, but it seemed wrong, and it was not good at the moment. judge.
In the past two days, the sentry riders kept reporting something strange to the Ming army. There were more and more sentry riders, and they often came out in large groups, as if they were deliberately trying to cover the battlefield.
And every time he was in the mountain city, he saw that the Ming army around Songshan was carrying out construction projects and building various attack equipment. He guessed that they were about to launch an offensive, but he could not yet determine where their main attack would be.
According to Dorgon's idea, he hoped that the Ming army would come to attack Rufeng Mountain, so that the war could become stalemate, and he could also look for opportunities to win by surprise and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.
But in his heart, he hoped that the Ming army could storm the East and West Shimen of Shimen Mountain. In this way, he would be in line with his plan and help to greatly increase his prestige in the army.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, I heard that the Ming army was gathering in the wilderness to the east of Songshan Fort. I immediately had a bad feeling in my heart, guessing that they might be going to attack Shimen Mountain, or Huangtu Ridge, or Songshan Mountain. Where in the ridge?
Just when the Ming army was about to be assembled outside Songshan City, a sentry rider came to report that Huangtuling was violently attacked by most of the Ming army. Shuo Tuo's Zhenghongqi suffered heavy casualties and asked for reinforcements to be dispatched quickly.
After all, Dorgon was a battle-hardened and wily man. When he saw that most of the Ming army was gathered outside Songshan Castle, and their movements were unknown, he was ruthless and did not send troops to rescue Shuo Tuo.
Facing Gu Mu's kind reminder, his face was completely expressionless. He just looked at the sea of people below, and he couldn't help but feel solemn in his heart. Now that the Ming army is powerful, it seems that tens of thousands of troops will be sent out this time.
Can you keep it yourself?
"Why didn't Ilden go to rescue Shuo Tuo?" Haug asked from the side.
Dorgon snorted, but did not say a word. Instead, Du Du next to him said: "Shuo Tuo came to report that Ilden was trapped on the Songshan Ridge by Minggou digging a trench and was not allowed to break out. "
Hauge had a stern look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to send an order to Mandahai to send a group of troops to Huangtu Ridge to help in the battle."
The two sentinels ran away in a hurry when they saw a Qing army colonel running towards him and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, King Chunrui, Maojiagou has been severely attacked by the Ming army. Please send troops for reinforcements."
Even Hauge was a little panicked now. Minggou worked so hard to get to Songshan and had to bear all his belongings. Isn't this contrary to common sense?
"snort!"
Dorgon snorted heavily and said, "The first battle is the decisive battle. Do you want to decide the outcome in one battle?"
He stared in the direction of Songshan intently and said, "I want to see if he is cunning or just desperate."
"Prince Rui, why don't you save Huangtu Ridge?" Hauge asked with some confusion.
"Hmph. If he can't defend a loess ridge, what's the use of keeping him?"
Dorgon then said in a deep voice: "Let's go down the mountain too. Shimen Mountain and Huangtu Ridge will eventually become a place of killing!"

Shi Meng, the commander of the left sentry post in the middle of the Huwei camp of the Xuanbei Army, sat on his horse and looked in front of him, behind him, to the left, to the right, and even into the distance. Wherever he could see, there were countless pieces of armor. Along with the flags, there were those from the Xuanbei Army, but more of them were soldiers from other friendly towns.
Seeing countless heads surging in front of him, Shi Meng rode on his horse and sighed regretfully. He then turned to look at the right sentinel commander Chang Zhengxiong who was also following Lin Fangping. He also looked regretful when he saw him. color.
In this battle, there were those who mainly attacked Shimen Mountain, some who pretended to attack Huangtu Ridge and Maojiagou, and those who were responsible for intercepting the Tatars in Rufeng Mountain and Songshan Ridge. Only their own Xuanbei army could only watch and cheer, waiting for opportunities to participate in assistance. Used, and did not have the opportunity to participate in the attack on the mountain.
This made him very disappointed. Shi Meng now even wished that he could go up to attack the enemy soon. However, this seemed to mean that Yang Guozhu, Wu Sangui and other friendly towns had failed to attack the enemy. This result was something he did not want to see.
For a moment, Shi Meng's mood was extremely complicated!
