Dolgon's escort team, because of the huge number of war horses, and the scale of soldiers could not be placed in Guo Shancheng in a short period of time, so they did not plan to enter the city at the beginning, and planned to wait for this batch of materials to enter the city safely, and then go back to their homes, and then transport the next batch of materials.

For some reason, Dolgon just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong until he glanced around the surrounding city defenses.

Originally, he wanted to enter the city and reprimand the bastard Gushan, but because of the alarm in his heart, he cautiously did not move for the time being, and after inspecting the figures of the soldiers stationed above the city wall and the faintly visible movements in the city with his eyes, he suddenly found that among the garrisons outside the city, there was not a single Jurchen or Mongol figure, and only a Han sergeant with a different appearance came into his eyes.

Even the Jurchen and Mongol leaders who were supposed to appear in the middle and low levels, as far as the eye could see, Dolgon did not see one.

With a flurry of thought, Dolgon's face was as usual, and he seemed to ask casually: "Do you know where Abal Niulu really is?" ”

It should be the general of the Han army who was stunned, as if he didn't expect Dolgon to ask about this Niu Lu Ezhen, and replied with a sad face: "My lord atoned for his sins, and the last general was guarding the city gate, but I don't know what this Niu Lu Ezhen is doing now, but presumably they should all be in the camp at this moment, or the last general will send someone to invite him?" ”

"No need, you can go back and get busy!"

Dolgon waved his hand, sent the Han commander away without any expression, and then marched towards his barracks stationed outside the city with his guards, and did not seem to be in a hurry to enter the city.

The Han army looked at the other party's figure gradually away, there was a lot of hesitation in his eyes, and then finally made up his mind, and made a gesture to the city guard behind him, and suddenly the Han army city gate guards who were originally loose and unable to stand immediately changed their appearance, took out a long musket from behind him, and aimed straight at Dolgon and the others who were moving faster and faster.

"Go !!"

Hearing Dolgon's loud shout, the war horse under his crotch was thrown off by him with a whip, and after suffering the pain, he immediately let go of his hands and feet, and rushed forward like an arrow.

Behind him, a series of gunshots rang out like firecrackers, and several of the guards who followed Dolgon fell from their horses on the spot, and did not move for a long time.

However, Dolgon, who launched a step in advance, it was difficult to get a thousand-mile horse under his crotch, and he escaped this catastrophe without danger, until he rode out of Guoshan City hundreds of feet away, and then turned his head and looked at the unfamiliar face on Guoshan City with a blue face.

"Thank you General Dolgon for sending such a generous gift, and the lower official only thanked the general on behalf of my family's Admiral!"

Standing on the city wall was Shang Kexi, the deputy general of Hongtang's army, who was standing on the battlements with a smile on his face, waving towards Dolgon in the distance.

"Hmph, let you wait for a while, and soon the general's military horse will let you know the sharpness of my Jurchen iron horse!"

Dolgon could never have imagined that Guoshan City, the center of their rear, had changed hands to the Hongtang army, and their Qing Dynasty had been kept in the dark until now.

"Hehehe, does the general think that we will really defend the city before your army?"

Shang Kexi smiled slyly, looked at Dolgon with an unpredictable expression, and then put his hand to his ear and said, "General, listen!" ”

Dolgon followed the other party's movements, listened attentively, but suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting between the camps of their army behind him, and at the same time, the sound of muskets and artillery suddenly made a big splash at this time, no need to look back, Dolgon knew that it must be the Hongtang army that took advantage of his absence in the camp to launch an attack on their army.

"Go !!"

If the eyes can kill people, I'm afraid that this fashion is happy to have been killed countless times by Dolgon's fierce eyes, but there is no way, Dolgon, who has only a few dozen guards around him, even if he has a sky-high anger, in the face of Shang Kexi standing on the city wall, he can only have more than enough heart and not enough strength!

When he returned to the army camp, Dolgon could be regarded as relieved, and he had been warning the soldiers under his command along the way, so that this army had always maintained a high level of vigilance, and because of the ugliness of the Han army before, this time Dolgon beat the Han soldiers with his free time, and told them with the corpse of a Han soldier that if he did not do his best under his command, the end waiting for them would be the cold body in front of him.

Therefore, although it was only more than half a month, the more than 10,000 Han soldiers under the command of Dolgon have greatly improved as a whole, at least there will be no more indiscriminate rout in a panic.

Wu Jie, Geng, Kong and other generals had already taken 5,000 elite soldiers to hide in a hidden valley outside Guoshan City, quietly waiting for the arrival of Dolgon's Qing army.

When the signal was sent in Guoshan City, Wu Jie gave an order, and the five thousand Hongtang Tiger and Wolf Army crossed the hiding place and slaughtered towards the camp of the Qing army outside the city.

Because of the initiative to attack and set up an ambush, Wu Jie's ground artillery in their hands could not play a powerful role at the beginning of the war like the last time, even if the Hongtang field artillery already had the most outstanding field combat ability in this era, but if you want to quickly pull it into the effective firing range, and at the same time quickly build a gun position and calibrate the firing position, it is not something that can be done in a moment.

In the same way, if Hongtang's musket team wants to give full play to its maximum firepower advantage, it needs to shorten the distance between each other, and secondly, it also needs to rely on the formation of a queue to shoot in order to have a relatively strong combat capability.

Therefore, in this attack, what Hong Tang can play a role in is a hand-to-hand battle at the beginning, and what everyone can fight for is a bloody spirit and proficiency in the skills of the battle array station.

This is also the first time that the Hongtang army has engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Jurchens until now, and it is unknown who will die in the end.

Of course, as the existence of the pressure array, the nearly 2,000 muskets behind Hongtang were slowly pressed from behind in an orderly manner to prevent the collapse of their own strength when they were not strong, and they could have the ability to break the ground.

At the same time, the musket disease can also effectively restrain the cavalry of the Qing army, so as not to use this weapon of mass destruction and cause a fatal impact on the own army that has already fought with the Qing army.
