Chapter 479: There are cannons in the mountains
Seeing that the Ming army retreated into the valley, he also collected his troops and returned to the valley, looking up at the top of the valley, there were figures and buildings, and the guns were constantly ringing, it was the Ming army's muskets that had begun to shoot at the Qing troops who were climbing the mountain from elsewhere.
Climb the valley!
Nikan pondered for a moment, then gave the order.
Although the cliffs on both sides of the valley mouth are steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, they are much easier than the dead place at the bottom of the valley.
The Qing army immediately swarmed towards the peaks on both sides, but they heard a loud shout from above, and then smashed down the rocks, and at the same time with bows and arrows and muskets, the Qing army was in chaos, Nikan and others hurriedly retreated more than 100 meters, and gritted their teeth at the top of the valley: "Those who retreat are killed!" ”
If you don't enter the valley, you will be solved at the mouth of the valley! Hu Ling's style of play is simple and rude, the mountain road is narrow and steep, and the valley is like a knife, so convenient, the Qing army rushed in, and it was already in the palm of his hand, let him slaughter.
Of course, he also has worries, that is, the Qing army is so brave, although the infantry battalion occupies a favorable position, but the combat strength is mediocre, and the actual combat experience is small, whether it can withstand the onslaught of the Qing army.
Halfway up the mountain, the Qing army densely surrounded it, and the Qing army rushed to attack the valley at the mouth of the Tiangu on the first line of the mountain road...... Hu Ling's eyebrows were high and his face was solemn.
"Don't use those guns, do you want to keep them for show?" A familiar voice sounded in his ears, Hu Ling was overjoyed, turned his head to look, and saw the little eunuch rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Overseer, You're Awake"
"It's not good to sleep, so noisy ......" Chang Yu sighed, looked around, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "You see the Tartars all over the mountains and fields like grasshoppers, you see the Tartars swarming up the valley mouth like wolves and tigers, you look at the thousands of Tartars at the foot of the mountain, do you expect these three thousand guys who can shoot guns to be able to bear it?" ”
"There are still two hundred Ding ...... down there"
"Those two hundred guys are foolproof to guard the bottom of the valley, but now that the Tartars don't go from the bottom, people will be tough!" Chang Yu chuckled.
"But there's no one right now, except for these guys who can only shoot, there's no one left?" Hu Ling was a little anxious, the Gongzi Camp and the Black Panther Camp were extremely sleepy and still resting in the cave, could it be true that they had to be transferred over......
"Who said they could only shoot guns" Chang Yu snorted, pointing to a cannon not far from his side, "What will you do with this thing?" ”
Hu Ling naturally won't, but someone will.
The Shenji battalion was transferred out of the Beijing camp, with the little eunuch out of the customs, there are more than 3,000 infantry, 400 artillery, 1,000 cavalry, including nearly 100 artillery cannons, 15 cannons left in the middle and rear stations, 100 artillery people, the rest into Ningyuan City, after the infantry battalion was ordered to enter the mountain, with 30 cannons, more than 100 artillery!
These cannons had been hidden in the cave before, but when the fortifications were built before, the gun emplacements had already been arranged, and this time for the battle, the thirty generals of Zhankou had already set up their predetermined positions, waiting for the order to be fired.
"God, it's going to be dark soon, the time is on our side, according to the danger and guard, the location is here, the soldiers are monstrous, and we also have it, Xiaohu, this battle can be won with your eyes closed, you have to win beautifully, win easily, and be able to do it."
Chang Yu said something, and Hu Lingmao suddenly opened.
The infantry battalion has little actual combat experience, and this time it can be used for training, and the Qing soldiers on the mountainside can practice marksmanship and archery, as for the Qing troops at the valley mouth, they are located in a narrow place, if they are shelled......
Hu Ling was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the artillery to aim the muzzle at the valley mouth, but Chang Yu sighed and shook his head, pulled him and pointed to the foot of the mountain: "The big fish is right in front of you, why don't you stare at the little shrimp and salivate."
Hu Ling's eyes lit up, brighter than the sunset.
The rolling stones at the mouth of the valley are like thunder, booming down, the arrows are like locusts, the sky is like rain, the Qing army holds the shield and bravely goes forward and risks death to impact on the ridge, from time to time someone is smashed down by the rolling stones, the screams are piercing, or are shot through by the bow and arrow, and roll down from the top with blood.
Nikan retreated to a hundred meters away and commanded, causing the Qing army to charge while allowing the archers to counterattack.
The battle is in full swing, the Qing army has reached more than half, and it can go to the bottom of the valley at a glance, Nikan is secretly happy, just need to kill it in one go, and before it gets dark, attack the nest of the Ming army in the mountains, give him a nest, and vent his anger for many days.
When I didn't know that my mind was not moving, I suddenly heard the roar of cannonballs, and I was surprised to see dozens of shells falling on the mountain road at Taniguchi, and the Qing army gathered here, and died countless times in an instant, and fled to the mountain road.
The mountain road was already narrow and bumpy, and the Qing army hugged the head of the rat and scurried, and immediately stepped on and trampled on a large area, and the miserable howl resounded through the valley.
The Ming army actually had artillery in the mountains! You are shocked, but you don't have time to think about it, you run to the side of you, boom, tinnitus and dizziness, and your vision gradually blurs......
Dolgon, who was supervising the battle at the foot of the mountain, was not only shocked, but when he suddenly heard the sound of cannons, he thought that Wu Sangui was playing some trick in Ningyuan City behind.
But when he saw the continuous artillery fire in the mountains, he was immediately dumbfounded, how could it be!
The Ming army actually set up artillery in the mountains, and there are quite a few!
"Lord be careful......
Just as he was startled, there was a loud roar around him, and Dolgon looked up and saw dozens of cannonballs whistling from the mountains, and he was so frightened that he ran away from his horse......
Is the horse fast or the cannonball fast?
Thousands of Qing soldiers gathered here at the point general's platform, the cannonballs whistled in, fell into the Qing army's formation, people turned over on their backs, miserable, and the Qing army fled in all directions......
Shang Kexi, who is a few miles west of Ningyuan City, was also surprised, what the hell is this? Cannons in the mountains?
Dolgon, who was lucky enough to escape, escaped from death and galloped to the northwest, but the Qing army in the mountains was defeated and really fled outward, and the hatred in his heart was monstrous, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.
It was a pit from beginning to end, I thought why Wu Sangui dared to use the city of projectiles to tease his beard, but only then did he know that he was facing a mountain city in addition to the small Ningyuan City!
That's right, the Ming army has built the mountains to the west into a city, a city with artillery to defend it.
At sunset, the Qing army's attack on the mountain ended in failure.
Nearly 3,000 troops were dispatched before and after, and more than half of them were damaged! It can be described as a fiasco!
"Now I know why the little overseer can fight against the thief army with a lonely city in Taiyuan, hundreds of thousands," Wu Sangui, who was watching the battle in Ningyuan City, saw that the Qing army was defeated and retreated, and let out a long breath.
"Got the upper hand at every turn!" Tang Tong looked admiring: "I have led the army for more than ten years, I am not as good as the little overseer!" ”
Wu Sangui left a little space for himself: "In terms of improvisation, I am not as good as him!" ”
After leaving the pass to Ningyuan, he first designed to lure Dolgon to come, and then ran all over the surrounding mountains and five mountains, set up an ambush in advance, and waited for the Abatai vanguard to arrive, an ambush almost wiped out his entire army, and Dolgon's main force came, and before the general attack, he had already hit a blue nose and swollen face.
The little eunuch is ruthless and scheming, which makes the two of them breathtaking!
"Mr. Wu, look" Tang Tong suddenly pointed south, and there were people and horses walking slowly in the distance.
"It seems that the Qing army is also deflated in the middle and rear offices, and as expected, it is not bad to fall into the plot of the little overseer" Wu Sangui shook his head in admiration, looking at the north from afar, only afraid that tomorrow will usher in a violent storm.
