Chapter 483: Sound East Strikes West
In the middle of the night, a fire dragon in the Qing army camp meandered out and went straight to the foot of the West Mountain, visually inspecting at least more than 10,000 people.
I'm afraid it's not good, Tang Tong frowned, if they can still go out of the city to support during the day, and they can contain the troops at the worst, but it is so late at night and they are unknown, how dare he open the door and go out of the city easily.
It's just that the Qing army sent troops to attack the mountains late at night, and they were really not afraid of hitting their heads and breaking the bloodstream, or were they really provoked to hysteria, and they swore not to give up fighting with the little eunuch at any cost.
The two were puzzled, but they couldn't help it, so they could only watch as the fire dragon gathered at the foot of the West Mountain from the Qing army camp bypassing the trench.
I just hope that the sky will light up sooner, and I hope that I will be able to call for help in time, and no matter how bad it is, I can clean up the mess.
The lookout post under the huge rock on the top of the cave was affected by the artillery fire of the Qing army, and it had become a ruin, and the secret post hurriedly made a small nest, at this time Chang Yu and Chen Wangting nested here and looked at the fire at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
The green finch was stained with blood, Chang Yu's hand was bandaged, he had previously ambushed a group of Qing army spies, and during the fierce battle, he was favored on his hand and almost broke his palm, which showed that the jungle was extremely dangerous.
After the two fought for a while, they climbed up and wanted to take a look at the overall situation and take a breath, but the fire at the foot of the mountain caused the little eunuch to be puzzled.
It's an accident!
At this time, the sky was already ugly more than half of the time (more than two o'clock in the morning) How much resentment was Dorgon, he actually went into the mountains in the dark, did he really want to fight to the death, and the fish died and the net was broken?
Chang Yu pondered for a while, and saw that there were more and more fires under the mountain, and estimated that it was nearly 20,000, so he decisively ordered the palace battalion to come out of the cave to face the battle.
After an ambush, almost all of the spies of the Qing army in the mountains were cleaned up as long as they were visible, and as for the kind of fish that could not slip through the net, Chang Yu didn't care about them, and he just hid his whereabouts and let the infantry battalion out of the hole.
There are 30 generals in the mountain, light and easy to transfer, the Qing army has moved to the cave when the shelling of the West Mountain, at this time Chang Yu gave an order, and all pulled out, the high ground of the branch.
Although the cannons are light, the firing range is not as good as the red-coated cannons, and the five miles of large lead (solid bullets) is the limit, but the small lead (small solid bullets, which can be loaded with dozens of nearly a hundred at a time) can reach nearly ten miles)
and then shoot down on the mountain, and the range is no less than that of the red-coated cannon.
At this time, the Qing army gathered up and down to attack the mountain, and Chang Yu wanted to strike first and ordered the artillery to load and bombard.
Solid bullets, flowering bullets, small leads, take turns on the field, thirty artillery salvos, the fire up and down is chaotic, Chang Yu sneered at the corner of his mouth, come on, Duo Zai!
Before the smile could be retracted, Dolgon was still colored, and the red-clad cannon was spewing fire, and the mountains were in shambles.
At that time, Yuan Chonghuan won a great victory, and the report was eroded for ten miles
It's about the power of the cannon.
Whether it is cavalry or infantry, encountering artillery is a devastating casualty, and the middle of it is a mud, and the flowering shells fall into the dense crowd, and there are countless erosions. The two armies bombarded each other, one up and down, and the firing range was comparable, one was huge, and the other had many firepower outlets, and a loud sound of earth-shattering could be heard within dozens of miles.
The mountains are shaking, and the chickens and dogs in Ningyang City are restless!
Chang Yu went out of the customs and invited the Shenji Battalion to pull out almost all the gunpowder and shells in the capital, so at this time he was not worried about the lack of shells at all, but worried about the cannonballs, continuous bombardment and explosion, and the quality of the iron cannons in these years was not good.
The two sides bombarded each other for nearly half an hour, and the sound of artillery gradually thinned out, and it was not only Chang Yu who was worried about exploding, the red-coated cannon had a large charge, and the probability of exploding the chamber was also quite equal.
After all, the range is comparable, although the red-clothed cannon is powerful and has a long range, but it does not dare to go too far ahead, otherwise it will be covered by the fire on the mountain, and although the Ming army on the mountain has the intention of killing the enemy, but the range is not enough, but the mountain pass is almost blocked, and the point will be razed to the ground, but the broken temple is intact, is there really a fairy blessing?
The shelling finally completely extinguished, Chang Yu ordered the damage to be counted, and all units strictly guarded each checkpoint, keeping an eye on the movements of the Qing army, and at the same time secretly continued to search for those spies who entered the mountains.
Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong and Jiang Fa came back from Heifeng Mountain, and several people scolded and scolded endlessly, they finally succeeded in making the Qing army spies mistakenly think that there were also ambush soldiers in Heifeng Mountain, but they gained very little, only killed seven Qing army spies, but they went back and forth over the mountains and mountains, and their tired legs were sore and trembling, and when they were resting, they suddenly heard the sound of cannons, and ran back in a panic.
Chen Wangting chatted, and Wu Zhong, who listened to it, led his troops to slaughter half a hundred Qing army spies, who were both envious and jealous, and heard that the black wolf camp was also injured, and the little eunuch was also injured, and his palm was almost cut off.
Several people were shocked and hurried to look for the little eunuch, but they saw him standing on a huge rock next to the entrance of the cave, looking at the foot of the mountain, looking extremely puzzled.
Seeing this, everyone did not dare to disturb.
The Qing army gathered a large army vigorously, but it did not stop moving forward, and when it was bombarded with itself, it still did not take the opportunity to enter the mountain, what did it want?
Could it be that it's just putting on a show to scare me!
There's no need for that, everyone is not a child, and they are not scared.
Chang Yu really couldn't understand what Dolgon was doing with this, pulling troops over to demonstrate and not entering the mountain, not entering before the shelling, not as good as when the shelling, and not entering now, do you have to wait for dawn?
Damn, you don't want me to sleep! Chang Yu took a sip, and everyone around him laughed, Overseer, you go to sleep, something to greet you
The enemy's intentions are unknown, where can Chang Yu sleep.
I went down the cave, and when I got to the grinding stone ditch, I washed my face with cold water, the pain on my hand was gone, and the knife was no longer restricted, so I led everyone to patrol the mountain, and walked through the key passes, but I still didn't see any movement of the Qing army under the mountain.
Impatient, he decided to scout nearby!
The attendants stopped him one after another, so that he could not get into danger, and volunteered to investigate.
Chang Yu disagreed, he personally led the team to investigate in Taiyuan, and once made up and escaped into the camp of the thief army, assassinated Li Laiheng and retreated, at this time he did not go to the foot of the mountain to investigate.
Seeing that they couldn't stop it, their subordinates recommended themselves one after another.
Chang Yu's eyes swept away, and he ordered Chen Wangting's nephews and nephews, as well as Jiang Fa and Wu Zhong, and five archers accompanied by Guo Ren, and the rest were on standby in the mountains.
A group of more than ten people, divided into three pin formations along the valley to grope outward, who knew that before the mouth of the valley, suddenly faintly heard the roar of cannons.
Chang Yu was startled, thinking that the Qing army was bombarding the mountain again, and told everyone to be careful, but then he felt that something was wrong, and the sound of artillery continued, faintly from a distance rather than a close one.
Hurriedly rushed to the mouth of the valley, then climbed to the peak of the valley, there was a secret whistle of the Ming army to scold the password, Chang Yu gave the password, went to the top of the valley in one breath, raised his eyes, and suddenly gasped.
The dense firelight that was originally at the foot of the mountain had gone straight to Ningyuan City, and the artillery fire in Ningyuan City in the distance was everywhere, like a sea of fire, and the Qing army actually attacked the city!
The Qing army suddenly attacked the city without any warning at this time!
