Dushikou and Harrier Ridge are both important places for Jiannu Shengjing to enter Monan, and with Lu Xiangsheng's prediction, with the advance speed of Jiannu's main cavalry, even if he has already reacted, even if he sees through Huang Taiji's tricks, it is too late to fortify and block in the area of Dushikou, so Lu Xiangsheng will let the Second Army of the Janissary Cavalry and the Third Army of the Artillery directly rush to the next place where the main cavalry of Jiannu enters Monan - Harrier Ridge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Moreover, the Harrier Ridge is a rare valley in the Monan grassland, and it is easier to fortify the stone pass, and the Second Army of the Praetorian Cavalry has arrived here in advance, and immediately built a simple obstacle area to block the advance of the cavalry.

The Third Artillery Corps also arrived one after another, and even the chariot battalion arrived at Harrier Ridge on the third day after Lu Xiangsheng's order.

However, Huang Taiji did not know at this time that the two armies of the Ming Praetorian Guard had been assembled in the direction of Harrier Ridge in front of him, with a total of more than 60,000 troops, and in addition to the Second Army of the Praetorian Guards Cavalry, whose mobility and riding skills were no less than his Eight Banners armor, there was also the Third Army of Artillery, which concentrated various unconventional weapons.

At this time, Huang Taiji had already captured Dushikou, because Lu Xiangsheng did not realize that this inconspicuous pass would become the first place for Jiannu to attack according to the original strategy, so there was only one hundred households stationed here under the command of Liaodong Command, and there was no way to resist the attack of nearly 100,000 main forces under Huang Taiji.

What's more, Huang Taiji also had his own artillery at this time, he was very satisfied to look at the Dushikou city wall that had been destroyed by his own Qing artillery, and unceremoniously ordered everyone in Dushikou to be slaughtered, and then ran directly in the direction of Harrier Ridge.

For Duoduo and the annihilation of the Eight Banners of Yigu Mountain led by him, Huang Taiji did not have the slightest emotional fluctuations because of this, he naturally believed that this was the reason why the main force of the Ming Praetorian Guard was strong and the Eight Banners Force, which was only more than 7,000 people, could not resist it, and still marched to Mo Nan with his main force.

What's more, Duoduo has always been close to Dorgon, and now it is not a good thing for Huang Taiji to let Duoduo and his descendants be annihilated by the main force of the Ming Praetorian Guard.

Dolgon naturally understood what his imperial brother was secretly with, but now that the foreign enemy was present, he didn't say anything, and he could only continue to follow Huang Taiji firmly and give him advice.

However, Dolgon still couldn't help but sigh for the two of you, Derge who was ordered to guard Shengjing City, and Zilharang, who guarded Hetuala, he naturally knew that his imperial brother wanted to use the hands of the Ming army to get rid of these two Eight Banner Banners who were not of the same heart as him.

But Dolgon couldn't change anything, because he only knew that only by doing this could Huang Taiji really form a joint force as a Qing Dynasty.

"Long live Lord, the front is Harrier Ridge, this area is very easy to ambush, according to the minister's brother, it is better to pause first, and wait for the sentinel to find out whether there is an ambush of the Ming army before marching."

Dolgon caught up with Huang Taiji at this time, and couldn't help but give Huang Taiji advice.

And Huang Taiji is now anxious to get rid of the predicament of being surrounded by the Ming army and break out, so he didn't agree to Dolgon's more cautious suggestion, and waved his hand directly: "No need, since the Praetorian Guards are already in a hurry to grab my territory, these places are only afraid of tens of thousands of ordinary border troops, why don't you and I be afraid, it is better to seize the opportunity to immediately rush into the hinterland of the south of the desert!" ”

Seeing this, Dolgon had no choice but to obey Huang Taiji's arrangement.

……

When Huang Taiji and other Jiannu main forces entered Harrier Ridge, Huang Taiji was indeed more cautious, although he said that he didn't have to worry about an ambush, but he was not willing to let his main force suffer any losses in this kind of place.

However, Huang Taiji looked around for a long time and did not notice the slightest abnormality, so he had to admit that he was still a little worried about being affected by Dolgon, and ordered the army to continue to advance rapidly.

But what he didn't expect was that it was not that the Praetorian Guards were not ambushed here, but that it was the artillery that was going to attack first at this time, and the range of the artillery's Ming land artillery had been greatly increased after drawing rifling and using new artillery materials.

Therefore, the artillery of the Third Artillery Army is erected at a relatively long distance, which is why Huang Taiji can't see the artillery and officers and soldiers ambushed here by the Ming Dynasty at first glance.

But as soon as the main force of Huang Taiji's Jiannu entered the Harrier Ridge, all kinds of artillery shelling suddenly exploded towards Huang Taiji like a downpour.

And it's not just artillery.

Just as Huang Taiji ordered his troops to pass quickly immediately to avoid continuous shelling, countless explosions rang out.

And these explosions are because many Daming mines have been buried in this area, but it is precisely because of the explosion of this earthen mine that the main force of Jiannu, which has just returned to order, began to become chaotic again.

These main forces of the Eight Banners were obviously frightened, if they were bombed at first because of artillery, then the mines that can suddenly explode on the ground and directly kill and injure people are enough to give these main forces of the Eight Banners a strong shock.

The Tartars couldn't understand why there was a sudden explosion underground, which made many of them instinctively suspect that it was all about ghosts and gods.

"Listen to my orders, continue to rush over, don't look at what means these Ming dogs use, what we have to do is to give these Han people in Guannei the greatest punishment, so that they don't think that there is a mountain pass and Liaodong can indeed sit back and relax, I want them to taste the taste of my Qing Dynasty iron horse dominating the world!"

The reason why this Huang Taiji deliberately showed such high morale was to keep the morale of his side from falling, but what Huang Taiji didn't expect was that when he was just about to rush over, there was another round of artillery bombardment, which directly killed hundreds of white-armored soldiers on the spot of his main force.

For Jiannu at this time, it was not uncommon for hundreds of white-armored soldiers to be killed, because the artillery fire of the Ming Praetorian Guard was too fierce.

But in the end, this Huang Taiji still rushed over.

But what Huang Taiji didn't expect was that at this time, twenty-six steam-powered chariots drove directly from both sides of Harrier Ridge, and as soon as these steam-powered chariots appeared, they instantly made a dry tartar have a heart of fear, and even panicked, because they didn't know what this behemoth was.

Huang Taiji did not hesitate to rush over with his elite Zhenghuang Banner, but at this time, countless lead bullets suddenly shot out from the chariot, directly shooting these frontal Tartars.

And just as the Tartars who had been hit were whining and wailing, the chariot ran over them directly, crushed them into powder, and drove directly towards the Tartars very fearlessly.

And these Tartars don't know how to deal with this iron shell that is bigger than a house, so they can only keep retreating.
