On the high post next to the rocky beach, Yue Tuo raised his head from time to time to look to the northwest, his right hand holding the horsewhip was loose for a while, the sky was already completely bright, the soldiers under the post had run out of food, and were lining up in armor, and on the artillery position not far away, the gunners were moving the powder barrels into the trench behind the artillery, so as not to be killed by the enemy's artillery fire during the battle. www.biquge.info Everything is being prepared, just waiting for the boss's order, and what is Yue Tuo waiting for?

"General, the artillery team is ready!" Thomas limped up to Yue Tuo and said in a loud voice.

"Well, you step down first, wait for my orders!" Yue Tuo nodded, and looked up at the northwest direction again, but there were still only gray clouds in the sky, could it be that the Nine Gates had failed? Should we postpone the attack for a few more days while reinforcements from the rear arrive? Yue Tuo looked at his own army on the shore, and shook his head secretly, the taboo of the three armies, no need to hesitate, at the moment what separates the two armies is just a narrow rocky beach, and there is no danger for his side to defend, if he can't take advantage of the new arrival of his own reinforcements, the morale is high to break the enemy in one fell swoop, and the war will drag on. You must know that Liu Chengcheng is behind him, if he can't win, I'm afraid he will come in person, and at that time, his fame and wealth will come to naught. However, the Guanning army on the other side had at least 50,000 people, and there were strong cities to rely on, although they were different, but they still had no certainty of victory. Thinking of this, Yue Tuo couldn't help but be in a dilemma.

Yue Tuo's eyes subconsciously swam around, and suddenly saw a stone next to him with a strange shape, so he walked to the side and brushed off the soil on it, only to find that this is a stone statue, but it is old, it has long been worn out by the wind and dust, and it can only be seen that it is a statue of the king of heaven serving the Buddha. At this time, Yue Tuo suddenly blessed his soul, took a water bladder to clean up the soil on the stone statue, lifted the front of the battle robe, knelt in front of the stone statue and prayed: "The king of heaven opens a bow and shoots arrows, it must be the god of our warriors, the disciple leads the army to fight the thief this time, if he can get the help of the king of heaven and break the thief army, he will rebuild the temple of the king here, and the monk will worship it, so as to show the virtue of the king!" With that, he stood up, took off his bow and arrows, respectfully placed them at the foot of the stone statue, and bowed two more times before standing up and shouting: "Give the order to go down, beat the drums, and line up!" ”

With the rumbling drums, the three armies under the high post lined up directly beside the rocky beach, and the enemy troops on the opposite side also sounded their drums and trumpets in unison, and lined up not far from the rocky beach, and they were not idle last night, and erected a row of fences on the bank of the river. The two armies were about a mile apart, and they were all standing with their troops. The clouds in the sky became thicker, and the sky turned gray-black, pressing down on the battle array, and the air seemed to freeze.

Yue Tuo turned his gaze to Thomas, his right hand waved down sharply, the lame officer nodded knowingly, and soon there was a rumbling sound from the artillery position, and gray-white smoke erupted from the muzzle, enveloping the high post, and connecting with the dark clouds in the sky.

After about twenty minutes, the sound of the artillery gradually subsided, and the Chinese flag shook twice and leaned forward. The horses on either side began to move slowly onwards into the rocky beach, with the infantry in the center, their boots and hooves clattering on the pebbles. The first few rows were white-armored soldiers with yellow flags, wearing iron armor with iron masks on their faces, only two eyes on their bodies, and weapons such as axes and spears with iron hooks, which looked like a group of iron-covered monsters. By this time they had crossed the middle part of the rocky beach and were about to come within range of the enemy troops on the shore.

At this time, the drums beat loudly, and the officers in the front row shouted loudly to motivate their subordinates: "This is already the last battle, defeat the Guanning army, and wealth and glory are in front of you!" The soldiers shouted and responded in response, and rushed to the fence on the riverbank with their weapons in hand. The boots stepped on the rocky beach, splashing muddy water, making people's robes full of black mud spots.

The Guan Ning army behind the fence rained down arrows and lead bullets at the rushing enemy, and from time to time people fell, but the soldiers in the front rows were all wearing iron armor padded with cowhide, iron scarbs and face guards, and many of them were shot like hedgehogs, but they still fought bravely without thinking. Soon the white-armored soldiers rushed to the fence, brandishing their axes, spears with iron hooks, and other weapons, and began to slash rapidly, pushing and dragging the fence, pulling out the stakes inserted into the earth, trying to open a gap so that the cavalry behind them could rush in. The defenders behind the fence stopped shooting arrows, and countless spears came out from behind the fence and stabbed at the heavy armor soldiers who were destroying the fence. The iron armor on the white armor can resist arrows and even small-caliber firearms such as the three-eyed gun at a long distance, but it cannot resist the stab of the spear, and the soldiers who are stabbed in the head, chest, abdomen and other vital parts fall to the fence, blood gushes from their wounds and stains the ground and the fence, but more people use their hands to pull away the spear, and even grab the opponent's spear with their hands and cut it off with their axes. Although most of the soldiers wore locks and gloves on their hands, many of them had their hands cut or even had their fingers cut off by the blades on either side of the spear. Although people kept falling, the people behind kept coming up and chopping the beams on the fence with axes. Behind these white-armored soldiers were a large group of lightly armored soldiers, armed with spears of more than four meters, which collided and assassinated the spears of the Guanning army.

Soon, the attackers opened several gaps in the fence, and the white-armored soldiers cut the beams, pulled out the disconnected stakes, threw them aside, and rushed into the fence. In the face of the spears of Rulin, they were not afraid, half-bowed, and slashed with axes. The men behind hurriedly pulled out the stakes on both sides and threw them aside to widen the area of the gap, and on the other hand, they shot arrows and shot with bird guns at the enemy troops on the opposite side. The soldiers of the Guanning Army had to retreat back slightly, and there was more room for the gap.

At this time, the drums and trumpets behind Liu Chengjun's formation sounded in unison, and the white-armored soldiers at the gap heard the sound and hurriedly moved out of the way to both sides, revealing a gap about 20 steps wide. Before the defenders could understand what was going on, they felt a jolt under their feet, and the experienced veteran understood what was going on, and hurriedly shouted: "The enemy cavalry is stepping into formation, quickly plug the gap!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw more than 100 horsemen lined up in a phalanx of seven or eight horses, rushing over, these knights and horses all had armor, their faces were like those white-armored soldiers with face protection, their helmets were decorated with white horsehair, and their twelve-foot spears were sandwiched under their armpits, like iron beasts. Immediately, there was a panic in the ranks of the Guan Ning army. In the face of the impact of the iron horse, someone immediately dropped his weapon and turned to flee, but he was immediately taken down by the total or the thousand general and cut off his head, but the ranks were already shaken. The knights in armor kicked their mounts hard in the back of the flanks with their spurs, and although the first few men were quickly stabbed by spears from all directions, the knights in the back followed one after another, knocking the defenders down and trampling them with their horses. In the face of the onslaught of the ironclad knights, the formation of the defenders began to retreat continuously.

At the same time, the infantry did not sit idle, they cut and knocked down the fences on both sides, widening the gap and allowing more cavalry to rush in. In the face of the onslaught of cavalry, the defenders became more and more difficult to parry, more and more people turned and fled, and the officers could no longer control the situation, and these deserters huddled together and were effortlessly slashed by the pursuers.

"Why, how could it be so easy to lose?" Xiong Wencan, who was standing on the gate and watching the battle, trembled his hands and feet, he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, he had a lot of dealings with pirates in the past when he was the governor of Fujian, but it was the first time to see the scene of white blades intersecting in front of the formation, and the corpses were all over the field, and he already had a little regret in his heart, he subconsciously asked Dolgon on the side: "You killed the angel and insisted on fighting, what should I do now?" ”

How could Dolgon not hear Xiong Wencan's regret, he knew that although the civil official in front of him was not in a thousand ways, but if he didn't have his own plan, he couldn't drive these tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops, he pretended not to hear Xiong Wencan's blame, and said with a smile: "Master Inspector, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, they come over, we will fight back, Duoduo, you immediately go and drive the thief army back to the other side of the river!" ”

"Ahh Hearing this, Duoduo was stunned, he looked left and right, walked to Dolgon's side and whispered, "Brother Fourteen, are you crazy?" I'm going to take them all away, and you're the only one left here. ”

"Duoduo, if we are defeated this time, even if there are still more than 1,000 people, is there still a place in the world where we can go?" Dorgon smiled wryly.

Duoduo is also a smart person, and immediately understood, and nodded: "I understand, then I'll go!" ”

Dolgon also heard the meaning of farewell from his brother's tone, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, stretched out his arms and hugged him, and said in a low voice: "I won't say anything else, today may be the last battle between you and me, don't fall into the prestige of our Aixin Jueluo family!" ”

Duoduo nodded, and with a sigh, he rushed towards the gap with the more than a thousand people. All dressed in iron armor, armed with spears and knives, lined up in a dense formation, and rushed forward against the gap broken by the enemy. Liu Chengjun's momentum was very strong, but he was suddenly counterattacked by the enemy, and the dozens of horsemen in front of him were immediately surrounded, or stabbed by spears, or dragged off their horses and slashed with knives, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The defenders who were originally defeated saw that the momentum had changed, and they also turned around, and Liu Chengjun, who had broken through the gap, suddenly fell into a bitter battle.

Yue Tuo saw it clearly in Gao Gang, and scolded suddenly: "Sure enough, it was a thief who took a bite and got three points into the bone, it must be the two dog thieves of Dorgon and Duoduo!" ”

Seeing this, the generals on the side shouted for battle: "General, please let the troops under you reinforce me!" ”

Yue Tuo didn't speak, he could see clearly on the high post, the enemy had grasped the timing of the counterattack very well, just seized the opportunity when he was about to tear open the breakthrough, and now the gap in the fence is only thirty or forty steps wide, and the number of people who can fight on the front line will not exceed 100 at most, and putting in reinforcements has actually become a refueling tactic, but it is just a waste of troops, which is not good for oneself who is at a disadvantage in numbers. And now there is no news from the nine gates, if he rashly puts the reserves at hand into it, if there is a change, he can only watch dryly.

Yue Tuo was hesitating when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Beacon fire, it's beacon fire!" ”

Yue Tuo hurriedly raised his head, and sure enough, several pillars of smoke rose in the northwest direction, straight into the sky, which was the direction of the Nine Gates, at this time he suddenly settled in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, General Wu's side has already succeeded, pass the order, beat the drum, and the armies will move forward, and there will be retreat!" ”

More than a dozen snare drums sounded, and the drums were already connected together, Yue Tuo's Chinese army banner began to move forward, and the eighteen-pounder cannon on the high post also began to fire again. Under the pressure of the army, the Guan Ning army on the opposite side of the rocky beach began to waver, and they also saw the wolf smoke, they knew very well what it meant for them to know the geography near Shanhaiguan, their families, baggage, and hundreds of thousands of Liao people were still on the West Liaoning Corridor, if the enemy bypassed the gate from the nine gates, it meant that their families were about to become prisoners. The soldiers who had no intention of fighting turned around and fled towards Guancheng, even the generals were average, this kind of rout situation, I was afraid that Han Bai would not be able to do anything.

Standing on the gate, Dolgon looked at the battlefield with a blank face, the red-edged white flag representing Dordo just a few minutes ago had disappeared into the chaos, he closed his eyes, and felt a heart-rending pain in his heart, now he was alone in this world.

"General Dolgon, General Dolgon!" Xiong Wencan's voice came from behind him, Dolgon turned around, saw Xiong Wencan's face was pale, and said hurriedly: "The defeat is decided, you quickly take someone to escort me to Juehua Island, there are sea boats there, we can go to the south by boat!" ”

"No need!"

"No need?" Xiong Wencan asked in surprise: "Now that the general trend has gone, do you want to stay here and wait for death?" ”

"Yes!" Dolgon smiled and said, "The soldiers and fifteenth brothers who escaped with me have all died here, so I will stay with them!" With that, he jumped up on the wall, drew his short knife, and cut his throat, and blood spurted out at once, staining his chest and arms red, and his body shook twice, and then he fell down on the castle tower.

Changli County, Liu Cheng Shogunate.

"Lord Jinong, Taiyuan's urgent letter, Min Min Beji has led the army to occupy Taiyuan and is on his way to Beijing!" Chessan said.

"Hmmm! It's faster than I thought! Liu Cheng was lying on the couch, his face was a little haggard, he was too tired these days, and he had continuous symptoms of low-grade fever, so he had to lie on the bed, and Chesan recited the official document for him, and then dictated it.
