To the east of Pantuo Ridge is the Liangshan Mountain Range, which is full of strange rocks, and to the west is the Wushan Mountain Range, which is full of mountains, and there is only one stone path in the middle that can be passed.

If the Qing army wants to pass smoothly, the Ming troops on the mountains on both sides must be uprooted, otherwise, even if a stone falls, it may completely plunge the Qing army into chaos. What's more, if there is really a Ming army on the side, at this time, whether it is blocking the waist and slashing, or attacking back and forth, no matter how many troops the Qing army has, it is just fat on a chopping block.

Pantuoling is known as a husband and a man, and there were originally 3,000 Ming troops stationed there, even if tens of thousands of Qing troops came to attack, it may not be able to do anything. However, the fog was thick, and at this moment, the two towns on the right ridge were broken by the Ming army for the Qing army, and the rest was nothing more than this town on the left ridge. However, the terrain of the left ridge is more treacherous than the right ridge, and it is even more difficult to get the artillery up, so they chose this place as the last direction of attack.

"All of them have opened their eyes wide for Ben Shuai, and if they can't see the Tartars, they are not allowed to shoot, and whoever shoots indiscriminately, Ben Shuai will behead them first, and use the military law to correct them!"

The situation in Youling is unknown, and what Ke Chenshu can rely on is only this Zhongchong Town under his command. This army began to be formed at the end of the first year of Yongli, and it has been nearly two years since then. In terms of training time, it is much less than Zheng Chenggong's original towns and the soldiers and horses brought by Shi Lang, but in the past two years, Ke Chenshu has also racked his brains to train soldiers and horses, and he has participated in battles many times, and his performance is good.

"The terrain of Pantuo Ridge is dangerous, and now the fog is thick, and it is difficult for the Tartars to use it, but if they leave here, it will be difficult to preserve it when exposed to the wild. Our reinforcements will arrive soon, hold this place, and there will be a lot of rewards! ”

The code of life and escape is death, boosting morale, which is essentially nothing more than coercion and temptation. This is the most common method and the best way to use. But in this way, he can deceive these soldiers, but he can't deceive himself. Ke Chenshu knew very well that the situation on Huang Ting and He De's side didn't seem to be very good, especially when they heard the sound of those cannons. The main force of Zheng Chenggong's department is still near the county seat of Zhao'an, and even if he receives the news, he is afraid that it will be difficult to come before the camp is broken. After all, there is a distance of 145 miles on this road.

"If you can keep it for a day, it will be a day. If you can't, hold on to the tartar as long as you can. The right is to repay the kindness of the country's surname. ”

There is no need to say the words, the two brothers can understand each other's intentions just by looking at each other. In this, what can make Ke Chenshu feel gratified is that his younger brother has the same belief as him, and the brothers are united, which is enough!

Historically, the Ke brothers were stationed in Pantuoling, and it was precisely because of the fog that they could not support each other with the Ming army of the other department, and they were broken by the Qing army. In this battle, the Ke brothers were martyred, and the entire army of Zhongchong Town was annihilated, but in the end, it failed to delay Zheng Chenggong's capture of Zhao'an County long enough. directly led to Zheng Chenggong being forced to transfer to the boundary of Chaozhou Mansion, which had been returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway at that time.

The original history changed with the arrival of Chen Kai, and Chaozhou had been captured by Zheng Chenggong when it was still in the hands of the Qing army, but Wang Qifeng anyway, Zheng Chenggong captured Yunxiao Town, and then entered Zhao'an County, but there was no change in the slightest. The Ke brothers are still guarding the Pantuo Ridge, and the reinforcements of the Zuo Town and the Right Chong Town are still broken by the Qing army.

went around in a big circle, just because Yang Zuo embarrassed Wang Qifeng with this sand. Everything is back to square one!

The soldiers of Zhongchong Town guarded the front of the village and the camp gate in accordance with Ke Chenshu's deployment, and left a reserve team to respond at any time. Ke Chenshu did not rush out of the village to find the traces of the Qing army, trying to resist the enemy between the mountain roads, he did not have so many troops, so he could only try to use the fortifications of the camp to consume the Qing army as much as possible.

Gradually, with the continuous transmission of news from the dark sentinels, the Qing army also continued to advance. After a while, it seemed that the sound of the Qing army's shoes rubbing against the stones on the mountain road could be vaguely heard, even if the Qing army suppressed the sound as much as possible, but in this environment that was already a little terrifying due to the obscuration of sight due to the fog, it still seemed so obvious.

"Repeat it again, if you see the Tartars and fight again, which one messes up the morale of the army, this commander will punish him!"

As he spoke, Ke Chenshu's eyes were already fixed on the dense fog in front of him, and the thousand soldiers in Zhongchong Town were also nailed to the dense fog.

A moment later, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the thick fog rolled faintly, and after a moment, a gray-blue flashed, and everyone's spirits were tense, even the arrows were on the bows, and the fingers were on the trigger, and when the order was given, they could shoot straight at the strange thing.

Unlike the Ming Army in red uniforms, the Eight Banners Army is distinguished by the color of the flag, and the Green Battalion is a gray and blue cloth uniform, which is depressing and heavy.

Everyone, holding their breath, stared at the direction of that moment, and in the next moment, the thick fog rolled, and a group of Qing troops marching in array with swords and shields appeared directly in front of the soldiers guarding the front camp gate.

"First row, shoot!"

The trigger was pulled, and the smoke of gunpowder further thickened the fog, but the blood and screams of the lead bullet were not at all covered by this thin curtain.

Gunfire broke out, and the Qing army immediately determined its position. At the same time as the screams rang out, the Qing troops of the brigade swarmed out, and even at that moment, it was as if the thick fog had been torn apart by this roar.

The firecrackers in the first row stepped back to reload, and the archers in the back row stepped forward, directly poked the arrows out of the gaps in the wall, and aimed at the gray-blue figures who were rushing forward.

The front row shot directly, the back row shot back, and the arrows came from both directions. At this moment, he had to speed up his pace, not giving the Ming army time to shoot the next arrow as much as possible, and using speed to reduce the disadvantage in distance.

"Keep shooting!"

The bow and arrow are not as good as the firebolt, the bow and arrow, the aim and shooting, the skilled foot archer can shoot the arrow out in just one or two breaths, and then the next arrow can be shot at the enemy in the distance after the next breath or two, which is not at all like the firearm and has to carry out complicated loading, aiming, and even a mistake can not complete the shooting, and even injure himself.

However, the arrows flashed, and at this distance it was difficult to compare with the fire gun, which had not yet had much kinetic energy decay. The Qing army charged with a shield, even if the shield was penetrated, the kinetic energy of the arrow was exhausted, and it was difficult to cause actual damage to the Qing army behind the shield.

More and more Qing troops rushed out of the dense fog, and more Qing troops loomed in the thick fog, as if they would rush out in the next second. But at this moment, the Qing army soldiers who rushed to the front jumped into the shallow ditch in front of the wall, screamed, and resounded one after another as the Qing army poured into the shallow ditch like dumplings.

There are bamboo sticks in the shallow ditch, which is the biggest difference from Ke Chenshu's defense in the original battle of Pantuoling. Seeing that the Qing army had entered the trap, Ke Chenshu hurriedly shouted and commanded the spearmen to step forward.

"Kill!"
