A bolt of lightning streaked across the dark night sky, followed by a loud thunderclap that resounded over the Matsuyama position. The strong wind blew violently, and for a time the mountains shook and the trees shook, and the whole world became chaotic.

"Gala", several lightning bolts struck, tearing the sky, and the Ming army flag planted on the top of the mountain also danced wildly with the wind, looking like it was going to break at any time. Soon, the sound of a dense rain began to fall, falling from the sky, as if this was the only way to wash all things clean, and cover up all the blood and mourning.

This rainstorm made the tense nerves of the Ming army in the Songshan position relax all of a sudden, this rain was so heavy that it was impossible for Houjin to attack again tomorrow, which meant that they could delay for another day and recover their strength.

But Houjin is obviously not so easy, they are already short of food, this sudden rainstorm has disrupted their plan to attack tomorrow, if the rain can stop tomorrow, it will be even more difficult for them to be in a difficult situation, then they have to brave the heavy rain and slippery roads to force the attack, even if they can win, they will pay a lot of price again.

Emperor Taiji of the Great Khan of Houjin was very anxious at the moment, he had not slept well in the past few days, and he had not eaten well, which caused his old rhinitis to commit again, his nose was not only itchy but also bleeding, and his head was painful, which was uncomfortable.

But he knew that this was the key to the success or failure of the victory, so he endured the discomfort of his nose and once again summoned all the banner owners to come and discuss together, and it was necessary to deal with the enemy in Songshan as soon as possible, and the whole army would return to Liaoyang as soon as possible.

At this moment, he was scolding Abatai who came to report the news, and scolded: "Why is Mang Gurtai so unbearable, let him block Man Gui, he is good, but he brought Man Gui behind our ass, is he going to fight our army back and forth with the Ming army?" ”

Abatai came here to report to him about Manggultai, although he followed Manggultai's instructions to block Mangui on this way was extremely tragic, but still could not calm Huang Taiji's anger, at this time he could only say cautiously: "It's not that the fourth brother is incompetent, but the combat power of Mangui is too strong, we have fought with him very fiercely, and we have held out for three days, but Mangui has a lot of soldiers after all, we can only fight and retreat, it is really a last resort!" ”

Huang Taiji smiled angrily and said, "The Ming army is strong? This is the first time I've heard that. Didn't Mang Gurtai boast of being the first in the combat power of the Eight Banners in the past, why did he coax it now, but praised the combat power of the Ming army? Didn't he often say that he was a tiger and a leopard, and the Ming army was like a sheep, why was he driven here by the sheep in his mouth now? "He is really angry, Mang Gurtai's Zhenglan Banner is known as the first in the combat power of the Eight Banners, and he can often drive tens of thousands of troops of the Ming army with thousands of soldiers, but now he has summoned Man Gui to his belly, which makes their situation even more difficult.

It was the first time for Dai Shan to see Huang Taiji so angry, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, although Man Gui has nearly 20,000 people, the fifth brother will definitely be able to stop him, as long as Ning Yuan's Guan Ning army does not move, Man Gui will definitely not be able to do anything to us!" ”

"Can he stop it?" Huang Taiji's anger did not subside, and he said to Abatai.

Although Abatai was unhappy in his heart, he still didn't dare to attack in front of Huang Taiji, so he could only reply: "Fifth brother said, there is no problem in blocking Man Gui for a while, but now that the army is short of food, he doesn't dare to guarantee whether he can stop Man Gui in the long run." ”

Huang Taiji took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, and said: "You go back and tell him to let him hold on for two more days, and only after we defeat the Songshan Ming army can he pull out the camp and return, otherwise Hugh will blame me for being polite." "Mang Gurtai's current move is that he is afraid that the Four Banners will leave him alone in Liaozuo, so he is desperately moving closer to them, how can he not see this. Mang Gurtai, a rough man, actually made a small calculation, which made him very unhappy, Huang Taiji secretly swore in his heart that if he returned to Liaoyang, he must severely punish this guy, and see if he dares to perfunctory himself in the future.

Abatai frowned, looked outside the tent, and said, "Do you want to go now?" "It's still stormy and dark outside the tent, and it's not a good time to set off.

"Go now!" Huang Taiji shouted violently.

Abatai didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly slipped away.

Huang Taiji covered his nose and said to the rest of the people: "The Ming army is already at the end of the strong crossbow, our army only needs to add more force, and Songshan will go down." Who wants to lead troops into battle tomorrow? With that, he turned his gaze to Azig.

Azig didn't dare to meet Huang Taiji's scorching gaze, lowered his head and said: "A few days ago, I took the lead with two white flags, and the damage to the army was too serious, and more than a thousand white-armored soldiers died alone, I'm afraid I can't charge forward." ”

Huang Taiji knew that Azig was telling the truth, and in the past few days, among the four flags, the two white flags have fought the most fiercely, and the most people have died, so he turned his head to Dai Shan and said: "Big Belle, are you willing to be the vanguard of the red flag?" ”

Dai Shan sighed: "Great Khan, my Zhenghong Banner has been charging with your Zhenghuang Banner for the past few days, although there is no loss of the two white flags, but many soldiers have also died. Now the soldiers are tired, may not be suitable for rushing to the front line, I think the second Baylor is a strong soldier, but suitable for this first formation, I am the red flag to cooperate with him to charge no problem. ”

Huang Taiji frowned, at this time, even Dai Shan began to care about the gains and losses, for fear that his Niu Lu would die more, and the anger in his heart was even worse, but he couldn't attack, so he had to stare at Amin and said: "Now that you have a blue flag and have not played, you have rested for so many days, you should rest enough." Tomorrow, I will take you as the vanguard to fight, the yellow flag and the red flag will respond in the back, and after taking Songshan, remember your first merit! At this time, even if he is reluctant, he has to rely on Amin, which is his most helpless choice at this time.

Amin still looked the same, as if he hadn't heard Huang Taiji's words, looked outside the tent and said leisurely: "Tomorrow?" Looking at the rain, I can't stop for a while, how can I fight tomorrow? Since our Dajin army, have we ever had this kind of fighting style regardless of casualties? ”

"And what do you want?" Huang Taiji's face was red, and at this time, Amin was still this Dexing, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

"At least wait until the day after tomorrow, when the rain stops, or when it's a little smaller, you can attack." Amin sneered.

"The day after tomorrow?" Huang Taiji tried his best to suppress his anger and said, "Amin, do you know that our army's food and grass are about to run out, and the soldiers are already complaining, and one more day of delay will be one more day's danger, if Yuan Chonghuan really brings troops here, you and I don't have to go back to Liaoyang." ”

Amin said disdainfully: "Yuan Chonghuan? Give him a hundred dares and don't dare to send troops, when he dares to fight with our army in the field, he only dares to hide in the city and set off artillery, you can rest assured of this. ”

Huang Taiji was still unwilling, and continued: "Even if it rains heavily tomorrow, let's work together with the three flags, and your blue flag is a new force, how can you not capture Songshan?" It must be known that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and now is a great opportunity for us, and the Ming army must not have imagined that we will take advantage of the rain to attack, if we wait until the Ming army rests, maybe something unpredictable will happen. Erbele, this is a very critical juncture, and I hope you can take Dajin state affairs as the priority! ”

Amin sneered in his heart after hearing this, and teased: "State affairs? Since you ascended to the throne of Khan, I have been a lot more idle, how can I have time to care about your national affairs? "Since he ascended to the throne of Khan, he has been treated coldly, and he has been vigorously reused by those young Baylors such as Yuetuo, Azig, Zilharang and others, and now he needs to use state affairs to talk about things, which makes him unhappy.

Huang Taiji said angrily: "You ......" didn't know how to argue.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dai Shan started Tai Chi again and persuaded: "The Great Khan is angry, the Great Khan is angry." He turned to Amin and scolded, "Erbel, you don't know how to advance or retreat, how can you resist the Great Khan?" Don't you say that the Great Khan will remember your first merit when you take Songshan this time, and then you will be the hero of the entire Dajin Kingdom, this kind of glory can be described as a grand moment, what do you want the Great Khan to do? Do you want the Great Khan to give up the throne to you? Do you have the prestige and the ability to take on this great responsibility? ”

Amin snorted and said, "Anyway, you can't attack tomorrow, otherwise the damage will be too great, and it's not a way to use soldiers." If you want to use troops, you will have to wait until the day after tomorrow. He didn't have a good impression of Dai Shan for a long time, he didn't say anything about his Zhenghongqi, and pushed him to the front, and at this moment he actually pretended to be a good person and patted Huang Taiji's fart, for this kind of two-faced and three-faced person, he despised it even more in his heart.

"Okay, the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow." Although Huang Taiji was angry in his heart, he finally compromised and had to accept Amin.

Huang Taiji also had no objections from the generals, and said to Dai Shan: "How long can the food in the army last?" ”

Dai Shan sighed: "Counting the rations of the soldiers and auxiliaries, it is only enough to hold on to one day tomorrow." ”

Huang Taiji was anxious for a while when he heard this, and when he landed on his nostrils, he hurriedly covered it with a silk cloth, and said sharply: "Since this is the case, then detain all the food of the auxiliary soldiers, and give all the troops to the soldiers to eat the day after tomorrow, and gather all the troops to take Songshan the day after tomorrow, as long as this gap is opened to meet with Haoge, our army will not worry about having nothing to eat." ”

"Deprivation of auxiliary rations, they may be chaotic, and it is very likely that they will leave their baggage and run away." Dai Shandao.

"I can't care so much, aren't I just some slaves, as long as the army is safe and sound, I won't catch as many as I want in the future!" Huang Taiji shouted.

Dai Shan could only say: "Okay, just according to the words of the Great Khan!" ”
