Chapter 710: Bloody Battle on Shimen Mountain
The summit of Shimen Mountain.
"Scholar, there is an abnormality in the Jiannu under the mountain, and some of the people and horses are going to the back mountain." Li Hongyu was lying on the marching bed and closing his eyes and taking a nap, when a guard entered the door and reported in a deep voice.
"Tell the generals in the front and back mountains to pay close attention to the movements of Jiannu, and once they are ready to attack the mountain, they will be beaten hard by their own officials, and they must beat the momentum of their first attack on the mountain."
A smile appeared on the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, and he closed his eyes and commanded quietly, it seems that Nurhachi is really jealous of him, so he wants to take the opportunity to take his life regardless of the casualties.
This was exactly what he wanted, and he was confident that he would hold out on to Shimen Mountain until the arrival of Lin Dan Khan, and then disappoint Nurhachi.
When the guards heard this, they turned around and left, Li Hongyu was still lying on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, now was the last time for him to rest, once the war started, I am afraid he would be busy.
At the same time, the camp of the Houjin army.
"You say, will Li Hongyu stay on Shimen Mountain?" After Huang Taiji returned to the camp, he summoned Fan Wencheng and asked quietly.
Among Huang Taiji's subordinates, if it is said that they know about Li Hongyu, then it must be the newly defected Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng is not only a Han but also a smart literati among the Han people, and he has seen Li Hongyu, so he must be able to analyze Li Hongyu's intentions better than the others in Houjin.
"Lord Belle, the slave thinks that Li Hongyu should stay on the mountain, he is the first person in the Ming Dynasty to fight against my Dajin, and now since he has issued a war letter to the Great Khan, if he escapes, he will use the Ming army of Shimen Mountain in exchange for his merits, he has always flaunted loyalty to the king and loves the people, and will never let his reputation be damaged."
Fan Wencheng thought about it carefully when he heard this, bowed down to Huang Taiji and said, "As long as the second and third Baylors attack Shimen Mountain, they will be able to capture and kill Li Hongyu." ”
"Then the two of them have the ability to do it!" Huang Taiji couldn't help but sneer, and didn't seem to be optimistic about Amin and Mang Gurtai.
"Lord Baylor, do you mean that the two Baylors can't capture Shimen Mountain?" Fan Wencheng looked surprised when he heard this, and he remembered that Huang Taiji did not ask for a battle to attack the mountain.
"Li Hongyu is quite deep in the city, and it seems that it is a reckless move to lead the army to enter Shimen Mountain, but it is actually a plan to lure the enemy."
Huang Taiji's face became a little ugly, and he said coldly, "If Ben Beile is not mistaken, Li Hongyu wants to consume the strength of my Dajin Army in Shimen Mountain. ”
"Lord Belle, can he be so arrogant?"
Fan Wencheng was stunned, and looked at Huang Taiji in disbelief, after all, he had no contact with Li Hongyu, unlike Huang Taiji, who had both fought with Li Hongyu and talked at close range, so he naturally didn't know how powerful Li Hongyu was.
"Let's hope Ben Baylor is wrong."
Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng and said without worry, no wonder Nurhachi was going to attack the mountain this time, and it seemed that he had realized Li Hongyu's huge threat to Houjin, so he was ready to take Li Hongyu's life regardless of casualties.
"Lord Baylor, Second Baylor and Third Baylor, whether they can capture Li Hongyu or not, will have no harm or worse for Lord Baylor." Fan Wencheng saw that Huang Taiji's mood was a little depressed, so he bowed down and said.
"What do you mean by that?" Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng when he heard this, and asked lightly.
"Lord Baylor, if the second Baylor and the third Baylor can capture Li Hongyu this time, then my Dajin will have one less strong opponent in the future, and the two Baylors will inevitably suffer heavy injuries and will no longer be able to compete with Baylor Lord."
Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji with a smile on his face, "If the two Baylors fail, then they are not the opponents of Lord Baylor, no matter what, this golden country is Baylor's." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, who dares to covet the throne of the Khan when the father Khan is still there?" Huang Taiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then solemnly admonished Fan Wencheng.
"Don't worry, Lord Belle, the minion's mouth is very strict, and he knows what to do."
Seeing that Huang Taiji didn't mean to scold him, Fan Wencheng knew that he had hit Huang Taiji's mind, so he bowed down with a smile and replied, so that he would not talk nonsense about this kind of thing involving the heir of the Houjin Khan.
"You'll be with Benbel from now on."
Huang Taiji felt that this Fan Wencheng was quite ambitious, and he dared to worry about the inheritance of the Dajin Khan, but he needed this kind of ambitious person now, so he pondered for a while and said, take Fan Wencheng for his own use.
"Lord Shabel!" Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him, with the words Huang Taiji, he had a backer in Houjin.
"Brothers, the Great Khan has an order, and whoever captures and kills Li Hongyu, the commander of the Ming army, will be awarded Baylor and rewarded with five hundred taels of silver."
In front of Shimen Mountain, Mang Gurtai stretched out his hand and pulled out his waist knife, glanced around at the Houjin soldiers gathered behind him, pointed at the Ming army position on the mountain with his knife, and shouted loudly, "Kill, kill those Ming soldiers!" ”
"Kill!" Hearing this, the Houjin soldiers immediately raised the weapons in their hands, like a tide, and rushed towards the Ming army on the mountain with a shout.
"Brothers, kill these Jiannu, be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, don't lose the face of our Ming soldiers." On the position of the Ming army, Zhao Feng, the commander of the forbidden army, pointed at the Houjin soldiers who rushed up from the bottom of the mountain with a knife, and shouted, "Let them taste our strength." ”
With Zhao Feng's order, the Ming soldiers pushed the rolling logs and rolling stones that had been prepared long ago down the hillside, which made the Houjin soldiers who rushed up jump for a while, dodging the stones and rolling logs.
At the same time, Amin launched an offensive in the back mountain, and it was Liu Hu, the general of the water division, who guarded the back mountain, and the falling wood and stones panicked the charging Houjin soldiers, and many people could not avoid being smashed, and fell in a pool of blood screaming.
In the screams of the Jin soldiers after being injured, the battle of Shimen Mountain officially began, and the smell of blood soon filled the air, and many people were destined to die here.
At noon the next day, Houjin Camp.
"Back to the Great Khan, our army has captured the pass in front of Shimen Mountain, and is now advancing to the mountainside."
Nurhachi was restlessly pacing back and forth in the tent when a guard entered the door and whispered.
Although this was good news, Nurhachi's face was unusually gloomy, and he did not show the slightest sign of joy, and waved his hand to let the guard stand back.
Of course, Nurhachi couldn't be happier, it was almost a day since yesterday's attack, but Mang Gurtai and Amin had only reached the mountainside, which was really disappointing to him.
However, Nurhachi could not blame Mang Gurtai and Amin for anything, he personally went to the front of the mountain in the morning to supervise the battle, and now the Jin soldiers and the Ming soldiers are inseparable on the battlefield.
Those Ming soldiers were completely different from the Ming armies in Liaodong and Liaoxi that they had met before, and they did not retreat in the face of the Houjin soldiers who had the advantage of troops, which made the Houjin soldiers suffer heavy losses.
Nurhachi knew that Amin and Mang Gurtai had done their best, and those Houjin soldiers were already playing with the Ming soldiers, but even then they could not achieve an overwhelming advantage, and could only move forward little by little.
made him secretly anxious but helpless, all he could do now was to wait, hoping that one of Amin and Mang Gurtai could attack the top as soon as possible and capture Li Hongyu.
From the stubborn resistance of those Ming troops, Nurhachi was sure of at least one thing, that is, Li Hongyu must be at the top of Shimen Mountain, otherwise the Ming army on the mountain would not have behaved so tenaciously, which made him feel a little relieved.
To be honest, he was surprised by the performance of the Ming army on Shimen Mountain, he had been fighting with the Ming army in Liaodong for many years, and he had never seen a Ming army with such a strong will to fight, which made him feel a little frightened.
At this moment, Li Hongyu, who was wearing armor, stood on the top of the peak and observed the battle situation on the mountainside of the front mountain with a serious expression.
If it weren't for his desire to take the opportunity to wipe out part of the Houjin army and give Nurhachi and the Houjin generals a dismount, these soldiers would not have died on this mountain.
But then again, since Da Ming and Hou Jin are at war, as long as they are soldiers, they will die in battle one day, and what Li Hongyu did was just to let this day come early.
Nurhachi didn't expect the Ming army on the mountain to be so tenacious, and Li Hongyu didn't expect Nurhachi to attack in turn with half of his troops, which made the Houjin army arrive on the mountainside earlier than he expected, which was not a good sign.
Li Hongyu set up a total of three lines of defense on Shimen Mountain, namely the mountain pass, the mountainside and the mountain neck, and now the mountain pass has been broken by the Houjin army, so now I can only expect the Ming army on the mountainside to hold on for as much time as possible.
Otherwise, once the Houjin army reaches the defense line at the neck of the mountain, then Li Hongyu will be in danger, and there is a possibility that he will be completely annihilated by the Houjin.
Li Hongyu now underestimated Nurhachi's attachment to him too much, and he would rather lose a lot of money than catch or kill him, which made him fall into passivity.
However, in this way, as soon as Lin Dan Khan appears, then Nurhachi, who has heavy losses, will definitely not face the battle, and will definitely lead the army to withdraw.
Now, Li Hongyu's wish fell on Lin Dan Khan, who would decide the outcome of the Battle of Shimen Mountain.
When night fell, Shimen Mountain, which was extremely noisy and the sound of killing, quieted down, and the attacking Houjin soldiers retreated from the battlefield.
The scene was littered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, rivers of blood flowed, and some of the seriously wounded soldiers groaned in pain, which looked particularly poignant and creepy in the night.
Taking advantage of the short retreat of the Houjin army, the Ming soldiers searched for the surviving Ming wounded on the battlefield, and cut down the wounded soldiers of the Houjin with a knife.
This was a choice made by both warring parties in ancient wars, but now people have no concept of humanitarianism, and those captives have only two ways to go, one is to surrender to the Ming army, and the other is to be executed.
Now Li Hongyu is fighting against the Houjin army in Shimen Mountain, so where is the energy to take care of the Houjin prisoners, so he naturally cut them with a knife, so as not to make trouble with those prisoners at that time.
