There was a roar on the mountain, and dozens of rockets rose up clouds of white smoke, and with a "whoosh", they swooped into the Qing army under the mountain, exploding a ball of fire.

In the wilderness, under the banner of the king, Dolgon used a clairvoyant mirror to look at the banners of the Ming army on several peaks on Jiuli Mountain.

He Luohui on the side explained: "Lord Wang, on the mountain is the Ming general Liu Zhaoji, this person was born in the Jiangmen family, and his ancestors were hereditary commanders. He once fought with us in Liaodong, and the Battle of Songshan was a scapegoat, and he was deposed by the Ming court, and he didn't want to be valued by Gao Mingyu a few years ago, so he was able to reactivate, and now he is the main force of Yangzhou Town. ”

Dole rolled his head and made a note of the name.

He Luohui pointed to a low hill in the distance, "Lord Wang, there is Qi Mountain, under the banner of Wu Risheng, the commander of the Japanese army, this person is a jinshi in the Chongzhen period, and he was ordered by Zhu Cihong to recruit new soldiers with Wang Yan, Chen Zilong and others to form a forbidden army. During Prince Ying's southern expedition, the Japanese army fought with the Qing army in Guazhou and other places, and supported it for a long time. Later, Chen Zilong joined the military department, Wang Yan entered the household department, and Wu Risheng served as the commander of the Japanese army. This person abandoned literature and followed martial arts, probably a Confucian general like Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chengzong, and should be more difficult. ”

Dolgon frowned slightly, and said in his heart, "The Central Plains is vast and has a large population, Gao Yihuan has appeared in the west, as well as a large number of civil and military generals of the Western Wei Kingdom, and all kinds of talents in the south have also begun to emerge, and it is really impossible to kill." If this continues, the Eight Banners can't compare at all, and they must think of a way to make the world produce fewer talents, or turn these people into minions that can be used by the Qing Dynasty. ”

At this time, He Luohui continued: "Lord Wang, the hill in the southeast, look at the banner is another forbidden army of Zhu Cihong, and it is the banner of the Fengjie army, and the general is called Wang Yi······

When he spoke, the Qing army attacking Jingshan had already discharged a sparse front and pressed up the mountain.

The Qing army raised its head and blew the horn, and the first Jiala, Ezhen, pulled out his sword, shouted a Manchu sentence, and the Qing soldiers began to slowly move forward.

True Manchuria is a fishing and hunting people, and it is difficult to defeat this group of hunters in the mountains.

More than 2,000 Qing troops, head-on on the mountain, they did not run wildly in the sound of the horn, but stepped on the ground and marched forward with solid steps.

Among the Eight Banner soldiers, wearing double armor heavy steps, holding a round shield in one hand, holding a war knife in the other hand, some are also holding a heaven-shaking thunder, the cat's waist walks in the front, and the back is the archers with war knives, short axes and other weapons at the waist, following behind the sword and shield soldiers, spreading out and pressing towards the Ming army front.

The artillery of the Ming army roared on the mountain, smashed into the Qing army's formation, splashed up a ball of soil, and in the mud pit that was smashed out, there was still green smoke, and the Qing army's infantry still moved forward unhurriedly.

After the infantry army, the bronze cannon of the Qing army was dragged forward by the war horse, and the artillery dug a pit on the hillside with a shovel, pushed the copper cannon in, and was bombarding the Ming army on the hill with artillery, and the cannonballs splashed the mud pillar to support the infantry to move forward.

The Ming army deployed 40,000 soldiers and horses in the north of Xuzhou to block Dolgon, and Dolroll did not know how long Xuzhou could last, in order to prevent Xuzhou from falling, he could only choose a little breakthrough in order to support the defenders of Xuzhou.

Although Dolgon wanted to bypass the blocking Ming army, he was worried that Xuzhou would not be able to hold out for the time to make a detour, and after the detour, the Ming army might also block it.

On the hillside, two artillery roars, the shells are not fired by the Qing army, but by the Ming army, two shells, falling in the Qing army's infantry army, immediately saw the limbs flying, but the Qing army's formation was scattered, and did not cause much loss.

The artillery of the Qing army also bombarded continuously, and bursts of white smoke were emitted between the two armies, and the rumbling artillery sound was endless.

The artillery shells of the Qing army were aimed at the low earth wall temporarily piled up by the Ming army, and the iron bullets hit it, and the earth wall immediately appeared one after another.

At this time, all kinds of firearms of the Ming army began to pour on the approaching Qing army, and a swarm of rockets covered the mountain all over the mountain, and the sword and shield hands of the Qing army finally began to speed up and climb upward.

When the Qing army entered the range of the firearms, the firearms of the Ming army opened fire one after another, and the flames flickered on the mountain, and the smoke of gunpowder rose, and the mountain seemed to be surrounded by a white belt.

The Qing army, which was at the forefront, was immediately hit and rolled down the hill with a wail.

On the hillside, the Ming general Yan Yingyuan saw the Ming army's volley of firearms, killing more than ten Qing soldiers, but there were many Qing troops, seeing the Ming army lifting the guns, they lay on the ground, or squatted on the ground with a shield, dodging the firecrackers, and when the Ming army finished fighting in a row, he jumped up again, rushed forward a few steps, and then hid again, and suddenly frowned, and shouted urgently: "Shoot freely, aim and fight!" ”

The Qing soldiers were scattered, the Ming army fired a volley, and it was impossible to hit anyone, plus the Qing army seemed to be very experienced, after finding the rhythm of the platoon shooting, they dodged when the guns were released, and the casualties were even smaller.

As soon as the rhythm of the Ming army's release changed, several Qing soldiers were hit and rolled down the hillside as soon as they jumped up......

Dol Roll looked at the Ming army with a clairvoyant mirror, frowning slightly, he could see that the Ming army on the mountain was more elite, but then he sneered.

······

In the north city of Xuzhou, many Qing soldiers are looking north.

At this time, Nikan was surrounded by more than ten armor soldiers, hurriedly ran up the city wall, walked to the side of the wall, and looked at the battlements, but could only see the hill in the north of the city, the Ming army's flag drifting in the ocean, but could not see the battle situation at the northern foot of Jiuli Mountain.

But it didn't matter, he heard the roar of artillery and knew that reinforcements had arrived.

"Haha~" Nikan slammed his fist on the battlement, undisguised his joy, "My Qing reinforcements have arrived." ”

He was laughing, but one of the generals ran up with a rolling belt, "Lord Wang, the Ming army has attacked the East City, and the city is in an emergency!" ”

Nikan was excited, his laughter stopped abruptly, his face showed a trace of panic, and he hurriedly pulled out the knife and shouted: "Come with this king!" ”

After finishing speaking, he led a team of soldiers and horses along the city wall to the east city for reinforcements.

……

Outside Xuzhou City, in the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Cihong stood in front of the sand table, Chen Zilong, Wang Yan, Zhang Huangyan and others were in the tent, giving advice to Zhu Cihong.

At this time, Chen Zilong said: "Your Majesty, Dolgon came from the north, Fang Guoan came to report, and the Qing army also appeared in the west of Guide, probably Geng Zhongming of Henan!" ”

Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth, "Isn't Gao Jingzhong a 300,000-strong crusade?" Geng Zhongming was facing threats from Tongguan and Nanyang, and he was able to draw up his forces to save Xuzhou. This must be Gao Jingzhong, a villain, who wants to harm me! ”

Wang Yan said: "Your Majesty, the situation is unclear now, please retreat to Huai'an!" ”

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, "At this time, I can't retreat!" Now as long as Wu Yi and they block Dolgon on the north bank of the Yellow River, Fang Guo'an guards against the Qing army in Henan, and Jingguo Gong takes Xuzhou before it freezes, I will win this battle. Now I will not retreat! ”
