Almost both sides of the West Shimen Mountain Road have gentle slopes like this. Although it is not conducive to long-distance marches, it is easy to capture, and the hills are constantly undulating, sometimes higher and sometimes lower.
There is a section under the western slope of Shimen Mountain that is wider than anywhere else. Therefore, the Qing army Dorgon's army camp was located here, and his Chinese army tent was located to the west of the army camp.
Just because the place was originally a hill, he built a wooden platform on it. Standing high on it, he could have a panoramic view of the West Shimen Road in front.
A large woven gold dragon banner of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Zhongzheng White Flag, stands on a high platform, constantly fluttering in the wind.
There is a big chair under the dragon flag, and sitting there is a general who is about thirty years old. He is wearing gilt armor and has a rough rectangular face. Against his tall and strong body, he looks extremely powerful. Heroic.
But the pair of narrowed rat eyes revealed an extremely sinister and cold light, which made people tremble with fear and tremble at the sight!
This man was none other than Dorgon, the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty's encirclement army and Prince Shuorui. After he came down from the mountain city of Rufeng Mountain, he went straight to the West Shimen Camp, and Dorgon Pingbeile Dudu had already led a unit of the Blue Banner. The soldiers and horses went out to fight.
At the same time, on the high platform, under the banner of Dorgon's golden dragon banner, stood Baya Lazhangjing in the white flag and the blue flag, in charge of the most elite Baya Labing of the two flags, in charge of guarding the dragon. The responsibility of the banner.
A large number of officials such as Mele Zhangjing and Jia Lazhangjing from the two banners stood aside, following the gaze of Prince Rui Dorgon and looking ahead to where the smoke and dust were rising.
And around this high platform, there are even more capable Bagala warriors from the two banners. They all wear bright helmets of the same color, with fine armor plates exposed, and they are all very thick.
There are huge heart-protecting bronze mirrors on the chest and back, and there is a dazzling red tassel on the back with a flaming flag, which is bright, eye-catching and majestic.
These warriors are all tall and strong, and they carry all kinds of heavy weapons in their hands, whether they are heavy swords, sledgehammers, long-handled knives, tiger spears, maces, etc.
The double quivers they carry on their backs are filled with powerful bows that can count several stones, and the quivers in their quivers are mainly heavy arrows. With their abilities, they can shoot through heavy armor within dozens of steps.
All the Baya warriors stood vigilantly around the high platform. Even though they were covered in heavy and thick armor and dripping with sweat in the hot weather, they all stood firm in their positions and remained motionless.
Dorgon, who was sitting in the big chair, could clearly see that nearly two miles away in front of his camp, a cloud of smoke and dust rose into the sky for a long time. At a glance, he knew that there must be a large army fighting in front.
"Report, His Majesty Prince Rui, Dudu Beile has engaged the Ming army and is now fighting and retreating." A Bagala warrior knelt down on one knee and reported loudly.
Dorgon was still staring at the billowing smoke and dust in front of him, and asked lightly: "What's the situation on the other side of Wudahai?"
"Hui Ruiwang, Wudahai's troops sneaked into the Ming army's Xuanfu Yang Zongbing's center army. Now they are engaged with their right-wing infantry. They are fighting and moving away, leading the Ming army to pursue."
Dorgon raised his eyes and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, as if in deep thought. After a moment, he asked calmly: "What's going on at Hauge?"
"His Royal Highness King Su has not yet engaged the Ming army, and Abataibele is setting up an ambush two miles in front of the camp."
Dorgon's eyes became more sinister, and a cold light flashed, and he said lightly: "Go, send an order to Ta Zhan, tell him not to wait any longer, and immediately lead the Jia La Jingqi under his command, bypass the mountain ridge, and go straight to Ming Ming. On the way back, Yang Guozhu must be left with me."
After hearing the order, the Baya warrior immediately stood up and left. His pure white cotton armor gradually disappeared from Dorgon's sight.
Dorgon closed his eyes and leaned on the big chair. After a while, he suddenly opened a pair of rat eyes, gleaming with light. He raised his hand and waved, and immediately several Qing generals in gilded armor strode over. , knelt before him.
He glanced at the generals, his eyes rested on a boxy tiger general, and said: "Zhunta, I will give you a thousand warriors with white flags, attack from the flanks, and kill the Ming army cavalry and rear infantry." Intercepted from the waist."
"嗻!"
Dorgon ignored him and turned to another tall and thin Qing general and said: "He Luohui, you lead the three thousand elite Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner cavalry and cooperate with Du Du to counterattack the Ming army infantry in front."
He continued with a cold look: "Listen, when your soldiers and horses fight back, they are mainly responsible for cutting up the Ming army. You must not be reluctant to fight. You must go straight to the rear of the Ming army. You must not only cut them apart, but also entangle them. Most of the Ming army's cavalry cannot be gathered together in one place."
"嗻!"
"He Luohui, I will give you a thousand Zhengbai Banner warriors to join Wudahai in attacking the Ming army's flanking infantry formation. Your first priority is to attack quickly and cut it into small infantry formations. Let’s defeat them one by one.”
"嗻!"
Dorgon waved his hand and said to the other Qing generals: "Turg, you are responsible for staying in the camp. Ekeqin, you guys will organize the army and attack with me later."
"嗻……"
…………
After the generals were ordered to retreat, Dorgon's eyes turned to the other side of the high platform.
There are also a group of Qing officials and generals here. They are dressed in different colors. They are indeed officials and generals from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Han Army Banners, as well as officials and generals from foreign vassals, Mongolia and Korea, who were forcibly recruited by the Qing Dynasty.
Similarly, their officers and generals also erected their gold-woven dragon banners high, but they were not on a high platform, and their flagpoles were already much shorter than Dorgon's. Now when compared with them, they appear even shorter. .
Although they are both woven with gold dragon banners, there are still some differences. The dragon banners of the Eight Banners of Mongolia are basically the same as those of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
The Han military flags are quite different. Their dragon flags are pure blue with yellow, pure blue with white, pure blue with red, and pure cyan. The flags are embroidered with the moon, while the dragon flags of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia are embroidered with the moon. There is no moon.
In addition to these flags of the various ministries of the Qing Dynasty, there is also a tall Tai Chi flag, which is the flag of the commander of the North Korean army who was recruited. The leader of the army at this time was Liu Lin, the commander of the North Korean navy's third navy.
Since the "Bingdinglu Rebellion", the pro-Mingxi people's party in the Joseon Dynasty who gained power due to "Injo's anyway" has suffered a heavy blow and has lost power, while the pro-Qing forces are on the rise.
If we say that after the "Dingmao Rebellion", North Korea and Houjin established the relationship of "brotherly countries", then after the "Bingdinglu Rebellion", the King of North Korea, Injo Lee, went to the Houjin slave chief Huang Taiji for three days. The ceremony of kneeling and prostrating nine times effectively severed the vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty and became a vassal of the Qing Dynasty.
From then on, he was constantly enslaved by the Qing Dynasty, and was forced to send troops, food, and slaves to help the Qing Dynasty conquer the Ming Dynasty. This battle of Songjin was nothing more than that.
Liu Lin was appointed as the chief general, and led deputy generals Li Renzhan and Zhao Houliang, other generals, chief leaders, deputy chiefs and many other generals, as well as 5,000 North Korean soldiers to the Songjin front line to assist in the battle.
There was also a North Korean general named Lin Qingye, who was the military envoy of Ping'an Road. He was temporarily appointed as the admiral of the navy to transport grain to the Qing Dynasty. He was also detained by the slave chief Huang Taiji and sent to receive 1,500 Koreans. Soldiers came to support the inspection front line.
