Northeast at the foot of Panshan Mountain, with more than 10,000 Dongjiang Town soldiers who had just retreated from the mountain, Kong Youde and the others slowly moved towards the garrison point marked by Wu Sangui.
The previous waves of mountain attack operations, Dongjiang Town soldiers and other losses are not small, although their team battle formation can be called the elite of the Ming Dynasty, but the sword is never long-sighted, there are immortals on the battlefield, not to mention that the Jurchen army also occupies a geographical advantage, several confrontations, Dongjiang Town soldiers lost more than 2,000 people.
And the Jurchen army on the mountain, I am afraid that the loss will not be less than that of the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, although the other party occupies a geographical advantage, so that the guard weapons such as the longbow and falling stones in their hands can exert great power, but for the flintlock pistols used by the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, the power of attacking from the bottom up is not more affected than the attack from the bottom up with the longbow.
Moreover, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town were also supported by dozens of eighteen-pounder guns, and under the continuous bombardment, it was indispensable to inflict extensive damage on the Jurchen tribes gathered on the top of the mountain.
It's just a pity that these military exploits that originally belonged to the soldiers of Dongjiang Town turned out to be cheaper for Wu Sangui and other Ning Yuanming troops in vain, and became one of the enemy numbers they were about to report to the center of the imperial court.
The soldiers also had a lot of unwillingness and indignation in their hearts, and under the appeasement of Xiang Shenggao's generals and leaders, there was no big problem.
When Xiang Shenggao and the others were slowly marching towards a valley in the northeast of Panshan, in the northeast direction opposite to them, only more than ten miles away, a Jurchen cavalry with a huge scale and almost all cavalry was riding their mounts and trotting towards the direction of Panshan.
If you look down from the sky and look at it from God's perspective, I am afraid that it will be very clear that the soldiers of the two sides are about to meet in the valley where the soldiers of Dongjiang Town were originally sent to station.
At this time, neither army expected that in the direction of each other's advance, an army was coming in their direction.
Half a day ago, in Zhenyuan Pass, the Jurchen leader who was originally stationed in it stood aside with a solemn face, and on the main seat beside him, sat Shuotuo, a counselor sent from Shengjing, who was in charge of the power in Zhenyuan Pass.
"Newspaper: The Ming army of Dongjiang Town appeared in the sea area of Jinzhou!"
Outside the fort, the most elite white tooth scout of the Great Qing Jurchens, covered with frost and snow, trotted all the way to the door, knelt down on one knee towards the Shuo Tuo staff leader in front of him, and reported breathlessly.
"Is the news true?"
"It's true, the subordinate white tooth soldiers saw it with their own eyes."
"How many?"
"The subordinate soldiers don't dare to get too close to investigate, but a rough estimate is not less than the number of two solid mountains."
"What is the direction of the other party?"
"The direction of the other party's advance is Panshan, where our army Suo Qin'er really led more than 40,000 soldiers to return."
"Okay, well, watch me annihilate it in one fell swoop this time, and wipe out this henchman for me!!"
Shuotuo looked up to the sky and roared, relieving the boredom of waiting anxiously in the town for the past few days.
"Pass my military order, and all our light cavalry will attack!"
"Chirp!!"
The manpower of Dongjiang Town is too slippery, and the Qing Dynasty army designed to ambush the other party several times, but they were discovered by the other party in advance, and finally escaped from the ambush circle of the Qing army.
If it is said that at this time, who is the most important target of the generals in the Qing Dynasty, presumably this Dongjiang Town is still gratifying, and they will inevitably be the first choice of most generals.
After several defeats, the Qing Dynasty self-examined from Huang Taiji to find out the reasons, and finally began to secretly investigate among its own dynasty officials and people, and then found out that the Hongmen guards planted a very important spy in the Qing Dynasty.
This Jurchen, who was originally a nobleman in the Jurchen Yehe tribe, was recruited by He Yong and the soldiers recruited into the Hongmen when Hongmen began to trade with Mao Wenlong, and later quietly returned to Liaodong after being cultivated by Hongmen, and then relied on some of the previous Yehe tribe's connections to finally successfully join the Jurchen army.
Now he is already a spy of the outer guards with the yellow flag armor, and it can be said that the Hongmen foreign guards have the highest status in the Qing Dynasty and can best collect all kinds of information.
In the past few years, this Jurchen spy named Yue Cha has provided Hongmen with a steady stream of Qing intelligence, and at the same time, Shang Kexi and others have gained a foothold in Dongjiang Town, constantly harassing and invading the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and bringing countless troubles to the Qing Dynasty.
However, if you walk too much at night, you will always run into ghosts, and under the information that Hongmen can collect and come into contact with, the Qing Dynasty's investigation finally found out this Yue Cha and quietly controlled it.
As a military general, he has long been prepared for torture and other things, and his psychological quality is also extremely strong, but he can't guarantee that the front-line intelligence members who are implicated because of him can withstand it.
In the end, except for Yue Cha and a few stalwart members of the Hongmen Outer Guard, who resisted the torture of the Jurchens to the death, three or four of the remaining Hongmen Outer Guards still rebelled and took refuge in the Jurchens.
And one of the most important members of the group was specifically responsible for sending the information collected by Yue Cha out of the territory of the Qing Dynasty and handing it over to the Hongmen base camp, or to the Dongjiang Town that was close at hand.
Fortunately, this time the inventory found that the time of Yue Cha just entered the late autumn, and the Qing generals under the instruction of Huang Taiji, after several discussions, there was a feint to attack the Ningjin defense line, and the military operation of secretly Chen Cang crossed the Xifeng Pass and directly entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the main line of this military operation, there is also a sub-line, that is, to use the army of Suoqin and the important coastal towns of the Qing Dynasty that have been evacuated as bait to lure the Ming Dynasty troops in Dongjiang Town to attack.
After the mutiny, the former Hongmen guard spies used by the Qing people continued to send all kinds of false information to Shang Kexi, who was a heavy talker in Dongjiang Town, tempting the other party to send a large army to attack their seemingly weak hinterland.
At the same time, the Qing Dynasty Duoyi and other generals gathered tens of thousands of troops, stationed around the few flaws they selected, and quietly waited for the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to take the bait.
Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after waiting for a long time, Dongjiang Town Shang Kexi and they finally couldn't help but want to make a move, and chose the target on the Jurchen army led by Suo Qin, and they happened to be discovered by Shuotuo with 20,000 Jurchen cavalry stationed in Zhenyuan Pass.
