Chapter 454: The Battle of Rufeng Mountain Begins
The wind with coolness, blowing through the endless Hexi corridor, the east is the front line of Rufeng Mountain held by the Ming army on both sides, this mountain with a very strange appearance, but it is the battlefield of the meat grinder of the Ming and Qing dynasties, countless flags are displayed endlessly, forming a sea of flags, the hillside is the camp of the Qing army, a cannon, a pole of fire guns stretches out from the wall of the wall.
On the plains on both sides, there are a group of Mongolian cavalry, they are armed with short bows, scimitars, wandering outside the range of the Ming army's artillery fire, wandering in this empty wilderness, the Ming army is in formation, rows of shield cars, a group of artillery gathered, a group of generals standing on a tall lookout car, Hong Chengchou looked at the Mongolian cavalry wandering around and shook his head hatefully.
The generals standing on the side looked at the wandering cavalry, their faces showed resentment, Cao Bianjiao's face was full of anger, and said, "Damn, this group of Mongols, our liquid can't be released at all if we don't collect it" The Ming army's firearms were sharp, but the sentry scouts compared to the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, the other party was a nomad, five sentry scouts for you This group of Ming troops will not be able to lose enough if they don't collect it at night.
Xiaochuan shook his head, this group of Mongolians is really like kraft candy, they are wandering here, I am afraid that what they want is the grain and grass of the Ming army that is ready to attack Bijia Mountain at any time, Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Capture Rufeng Mountain, build a camp relying on the mountain, lay down this place, and then lay down Tashan, Xingshan" He is a camp step by step this time, but it is much better than Wu Sangui's turtle shrinkage city. Lay down Xingshan, Songshan, and then step by step to rescue Jinzhou City.
"Don't be so troublesome, when the time comes, let General Zu fight outside, we will fight inside, and the inside and outside should be combined" Cao Bianjiao immediately smiled, Hong Chengchou shook his head, and said, "No, no, how can it be so, the Qing army is not weaker than us in field warfare, and it is risky to fight with them in the field, this battle is the elite of the Ming Dynasty, if it is a loss, what will happen in the future!" ”
Cao Bianjiao shook his head, and said in his heart that this guy is really respectful and cautious, and all the generals behind him shook their heads, and some of them had already muttered in a low voice, saying something unpleasant, Hong Chengchou's face remained unchanged, and Wu Sangui on the other side said, "Rufeng Mountain gathers heavy troops of the Qing army, it is not easy to fight down, and the group of Mongolians around them are like ghosts." ”
"Alas, how can there be, you send troops to fight, they will run, and when your soldiers return, they will come back" Hong Chengchou shook his head, in the end, the Ming army is still lacking in cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry like kraft candy makes people feel incomprehensible, you are stronger than him, but the other party does not fight with you at all, no matter how strong it is, it is useless.
Looking at the black and oppressive Qing army Han Eight Banner artillery on Rufeng Mountain, Hong Chengchou said with a calm face, "Rufeng Mountain, who is willing to attack in this battle" The generals of the Liaodong Army all bowed their heads, they had seen the extraordinary firearms strength of the Qing army before, and no one wanted to be the first bird, but the prince hugged his fist and said, "In this battle, I am the striker, take Rufeng Mountain"
Xiao Chuan, who just wanted to come forward to ask for battle, pulled Cao Bianjiao and a few people on the side, but he just happened to see what the prince's current strength was, Cao Bianjiao wanted to ask for battle, but was pulled by Xiao Chuan.
The crown prince looked at Xu Wenjue and the others, and said, "General Xu, the artillery of the Shenji Battalion under your command is sharp, can you help me with the Jiangnan Army under my command?"
Xu Wenjue clenched his fists and said, "No, the Qing army and the mountain, but my Shenji battalion can only launch some smoke bombs and the like, which may not be of much help to His Highness." ”
"Don't worry about this battle, according to the Qing army's consistent tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements, Rufeng Mountain is just the beginning, and the Songshan and Xingshan in the back are the real battlefields" Hong Chengchou's eyes were full of solemnity.
"General, I think Beacon Hill is where our army should pay attention," said Ogawa, adding that the turning point of the Battle of Songshan in history was the attack on the grain and grass of Beacon Hill.
"General Qin is too worried, how could the Qing army attack grain and grass with a special division, this is too risky, and where is there not General Qin's 11,000 elites." Hong Chengchou smiled, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, obviously unwilling to be pointed at his arrangement.
Xiao Chuan looked at the Mongolian cavalry wandering outside in a daze.
********************
On the hillside is the strong camp of the Qing army, just recovered the Han Eight Banners, mainly the Koreans add up to 4,000 troops stationed here, on the top is a pole bird gun, a cannon, the general on it is a Korean, the Qing Dynasty first and North Korea formed the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and then formed a brotherly alliance, although the king of the DPRK is not willing to be attached to the Qing Dynasty, but the huge disparity in strength can only be called a minister, let the other party recruit the Korean bird gunner, transfer the Korean craftsmen, during the period there will inevitably be a group of firm supporters of the Qing Dynasty, or called the traitor. This Jin Dazhu was originally a splash of North Korea, and he became the leader of the party, and successfully became the leader of the Han Eight Banners.
He had two beards, and he shouted and scolded the North Korean gunners on the side, saying, "Hurry up, hurry up and reload gunpowder, you fools" A group of gunners scolded in their hearts, but they were helpless against him.
Jin Dazhu looked at the Ming army under the stage, in addition to the 4,000 Koreans, there were also 2,000 soldiers with blue flags, but most of the Baya soldiers had been transferred, but the Qing army generals were involved in the last invasion incident, this vicious-looking Qing soldier Gu Shan Ezhen had a kind of fear on his face, and said, "If you encounter the Ming army with bulging bodies in a while, you bird gunners must give priority to hitting this Ming army, and you must give priority to hitting these Ming troops."
Jin Dazhu was surprised, and said, "The Ming army with a bulging body, this?" The minion doesn't understand what you mean" When did this Qing army general, who is usually extremely vicious, speak so kindly?
"What nonsense, if you don't want to die, just do it," the one-eyed Qingjun said, full of anger.
Jin Dazhu was strange, but when he looked down, he saw the banner of the Ming army attacking the mountain, which seemed to be yellow? Could it be the prince's army, in his opinion, the prince should be the strongest, he became nervous, but the Qing army general next to him was relieved, and said, "Okay, good, Jiangnan army!" Those fragile southerners, now it's easy for another day! ”
"General? Can this be the army of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty? Jin Dazhu was puzzled, shouldn't the most elite troops of a country be in the hands of the royal family? Why, this group of Qing army generals seemed to be relieved when they saw the prince's army, with a disdainful expression on their faces.
"You'll know later," the one-eyed Qing army Gushan really snorted and said, "Do you know why I'm one-eyed?" It's all due to the defeat of the Qingzhou Army! Jin Dazhu glanced at the one-eyed Qing army strangely.
The sound of banging and banging under the mountain, it is difficult for the direct artillery to hit the target on the mountain, and the curved artillery can only be used to shoot the tiger squat artillery, where is the general of the Shenji battalion banging and beating, this kind of artillery needs to be fixed first, and it is difficult to adjust the angle after fixing.
A group of gunners of the Divine Machine Battalion took out things like ruler cabinets for ranging and aiming, otherwise if the angle was wrong for a while, it would be very troublesome to readjust it. Then there are some smoke bombs that shoot gas bombs and stuff like that.
