Anci is only a medium-sized county town, and it did not cost much strength to break through it, so there is no need to rest, as soon as Anci is broken, Zhu Ci ordered the army to rush to Beijing without stopping.

Anci is about a hundred miles away from Beijing City, and there is a Yandang Mountain in front of it.

When he was still about ten miles away from Yandang Mountain, Li Yan looked at the map in his hand.

"Your Majesty, there is Yan Dang Mountain in front, according to the report of the spies, the Qing army has gathered nearly 900,000 troops in Yan Dang Mountain, and it seems that it is planning to have a final decisive battle with our army!" Li Yan said to Zhu Ci.

Zhu Ci nodded and said, "Order the spies to continue to monitor every move of the Qing army and report at any time!" ”

The final battle was about to begin, and Zhu Ci stumbled at the sky and grabbed his fist.

Yan Dang Mountain, after Yan Dang Mountain is the city of Beijing, the Northern Expedition so far, the army has seven battles and seven victories, the momentum is like a bamboo, only the last battle of Yan Dang Mountain remains.

Originally, Zhu Ciji thought that Dolgon would place the decisive battle in Beijing City and the dark clouds around Beijing City, but he never thought that Dolgon would be placed in Yandang Mountain, or that many Ergon might have any tricks, but Zhu Ciji was not afraid, he was confident in the strength of the Northern Expedition army.

Although the Northern Expedition has experienced seven major battles and more than a dozen small battles, its strength has not lost much, but has increased from 280,000 troops at the beginning of the Northern Expedition to 400,000 now, of which 150,000 have surrendered to the army.

Closer and closer to Yandang Mountain, the Northern Expeditionary Army advanced slowly, and finally, the two armies faced off at the foot of Yandang Mountain more than 300 meters apart.

On Yandang Mountain, the banners of the Qing army are all over the place, and the camp is endless, and there seem to be countless Qing troops.

At the foot of Yandang Mountain, 400,000 Ming troops are also endless.

Due to the early garrison here, the Qing army occupied all the favorable terrain of Yandang Mountain, so the coming Northern Expedition army could only look at Yandang Mountain from a few high slopes at the foot of Yandang Mountain.

The Ming armies at the forefront began to put on the defensive.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Qing army has really concentrated all its forces on Yandang Mountain, and Dolgon is going to make a desperate bet!" Li Yan looked at the Qing army all over the mountains and said.

Zhu Ci nodded, faintly feeling that Dolgon should have some kind of aftermath, otherwise Dolgon would not be unaware of the current Qing army and the Ming Dynasty, if there is no chance of victory, even if Dolgon is crazy, he will not be without brains.

Of course, no matter what Dolgon's follow-up moves, Zhu Ciji was not afraid to deal with it, and compared to the decisive battle in the area of Beijing, Zhu Ciji preferred a decisive battle in Yandang Mountain.

After all, there are too many people in the area of Beijing, the Qing army and the Ming army together are nearly 1.3 million, so many armies, the battle area is extremely wide, and Yan Dang Mountain happens to be an area where the surrounding people are sparse, if you want not to cause a large-scale death of the people, Yan Dang Mountain is very ideal.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese army camp has been set up!" A general came to report.

The Chinese army camp is generally located in the center of the entire army, but due to the terrain restrictions of Yan Dang Mountain, and Zhu Ci prefers to be able to see the battlefield from afar, so the Chinese army camp in Yan Dang Mountain is located on an inconspicuous flat top high slope, which can look at most of the battlefield from afar, and there is no need to worry about safety, the entire camp is guarded by Ying Long Army.

Entering the camp of the Chinese army, all the generals are waiting here.

Inside the big tent, some soldiers of the Yinglong Army were constructing a sand table with the terrain of Yandang Mountain.

"Today's battle should be a battle that will determine the outcome of the Northern Expedition, and I hope that all the generals will work together to annihilate the Qing army!" Zhu Ci stumbled and spoke.

Immediately, the next battle plan was discussed.

Qing army camp.

"Newspaper"

"Qiqi Regent, the Ming army has set up the Chinese army's camp on the flat-topped slope!" In order to confirm where Zhu Ci set up the camp of the Chinese army, Dolgon sent people to the highest place on Yandang Mountain early in the morning to pay close attention, and immediately reported as soon as there was news.

"Hahahaha, great, God help me!" Dolgon's face was ecstatic, and in this way, the Qing had a 20% chance of winning.

"Order, the army is ready, attack the Ming army!" As soon as Dolgon gave the order, he immediately planned to take the initiative to attack the Ming army.

"Kill"

The closest place between the Qing army and the Ming army, the 100,000 Qing army, the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han banner armies took the initiative to attack the Ming army.

Garrisoned here is the Eighth Army of the Ming Army, Jiang Wei's department.

The Eighth Army and the 100,000 Qing Army began to fight fiercely, and the Eighth Army inherited the equipment of the Ying Long Army that year, and it was also one of the all-firearms armies.

Of course, the Qing army knew the configuration of the Eighth Army, and in order to resist the intensive lead bullet strikes of the Eighth Army, the Qing army was equipped with a large number of iron shields.

For the success of this battle, Dolgon made full preparations, not only plotting Zhu Cijiao's Chinese army account, but also preparing a large number of iron shields, plus hundreds of imitation Shenwu field cannons.

"Boom Boom"

The Qing army's imitation of the Shenwu field cannon fired.

The shells exploded in the ranks of the Eighth Army, killing and wounding many Eighth Army soldiers.

"Shoot back!"

"Boom Boom"

The artillery battalion of the Eighth Army also began to fire back at the artillery of the Qing Army, and on this battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the guns roared, and the shouts of killing shook the sky!

Not only the headquarters of the Eighth Army, but all the armies in the front line were attacked by the Qing army on their own initiative.

The battlefield grew larger and larger in a short period of time, and it seemed that the mountains were full of soldiers on both sides fighting.

This decisive battle of Yandang Mountain began with the active attack of the Qing army!

With such a big movement, the battle was all together, and Zhu Cijiao and others, who were in the big tent of the Chinese army, knew about it.

"Newspaper"

"Your Majesty, the Qing army took the initiative to attack, and the battle on the front line was fierce!"

Zhu Ci frowned, Dolgon even dared to take the initiative to attack?

"Your Majesty, things are a little weird, don't be careless!" Li Yan said.

Zhu Ci staggered and nodded, the Qing army's approach is indeed a bit weird, but since the war has begun, there is only a battle, and who will die depends on the strength of both sides, and in terms of strength, the Ming army has the absolute upper hand, so Zhu Ciji is not worried about Dolgon's conspiracy, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies do not have much of a threat.

"The generals quickly return to the armies and counterattack the Qing army!" Zhu Ci hesitated and ordered.

"Yes!" The commanders of all the armies returned to their armies and organized a counteroffensive against the Qing army.

Although the Qing army took the initiative to attack, in order to defeat the Qing army, the Ming army had to counterattack.
