……

"The Tartars are really here."

Sun Sanjie and the officers and generals in the battalion, and there were guards, standing on the stone wall of the main village and looking at the field, they saw that the black was pressing, and countless cavalry rushed to the Xingshan Fort a few miles away from the extreme distance of the vast land, and at the same time rushed to their own Changling Mountain.

This field seems to be covered with them, and I don't know how many people and horses there are.

"The slave thief is powerful!"

Sun Sanjie thought to himself.

He looked at his Changling Mountain defense line, behind the three waves of low walls, one by one the gunners were waiting for a strict formation, and after each wave of low walls and trenches, there were spearmen in the stone houses to recuperate, waiting for the order to attack hand-to-hand.

Their number was slightly smaller than that of the guns, and in the baggage battalions, the proportion of the guns was slightly larger, and there were three guns for every 1,000 men.

At this time, the main village of Changling Mountain has already been repaired, all of them are made of large solid mountain stones, the wall is concave and convex, and there is a tower at every other distance, which can form multiple blows of cross fire.

An open area on the mountain ridge overlooking the whole mountain has a fort here, on which there are five large-caliber mortar cannons and twenty small-caliber mortar cannons supported by Fu Yingchong, which specialize in fighting ash and poison bombs.

In the Changling Mountain defense line, Hong Chengchou also supported Wang Dou Baizi with 50 guns, which was later increased to 100, because these artillery pieces were transported, and it was quite a long time before the Qing army attacked.

The original gunners of the Ming army were offered by Sun Sanjie with good food and drink, and they were also happy to be at ease.

In addition, in the northeast part of the mountain, there are also a number of low-walled ditches, which meander along the river to the northwest side of the mountain.

On the northwest side, according to the topography, several stone walls were built, and the entire mountain defense line was impregnable, so a large part of Changling Mountain replaced Xingshan and became a huge granary.

Not only the Jingbian Army, but also the Ming Army had a lot of grain and grass to the Bijia Mountain, and after the sea was transported to the Beacon Mountain, a large number of soldiers and civilians came and went every day, because of the decisive battle, there were many people gathered in the main village, taking refuge at the same time, helping some logistical matters.

Sun Sanjie's baggage battalion has a total of five divisions, more than 4,000 people, and now there are more than 3,000 soldiers and soldiers in Changling Mountain, four of which are gathered, three of which defend the low walls and trenches in front of each wave, and the troops are equipped according to the principle of being heavier than one wave.

Eyes retracted from his own defense line and his own soldiers, although the Qing army was large, Sun Sanjie was still full of confidence in victory.

Seeing that the smoke and dust in the field under the mountain are thicker, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder is more roaring, finally, a yellow, inlaid yellow armor banner spreads to the bottom of the mountain, and there are a large number of soldiers in different costumes, most of them wear leather robes, wear fur hats, and there are some armor soldiers wearing willow leaf armor, Luo ring armor, wearing red tasseled hats or flap helmets, they are the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domain who accompanied the army this time.

Looking at the sea of people under the mountain, Sun Sanjie didn't know how many people they came, although he saw that the two yellow flags also divided their forces to deal with all parts of Xingshan, but for sure, they used most of their forces to deal with the defense line of Changling Mountain, especially the two huge woven gold dragons were particularly eye-catching, and the owners of the two yellow flags had arrived.

Sun Sanjie held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and the follow-up steady stream of Qing soldiers and horses still arrived, but after arriving at the hills and plains under the mountain, except for some sentry horses, most of them did not move, as if they were waiting for something.

This is a long time, all the way from the hour to the hour, and then to the hour, Sun Sanjie saw the rear of the Erhuang Banner, and there was a sea of people with black pressure coming, but it was a miscellaneous soldier of the infantry army, escorting many instruments, mostly some big shields or something, a bit similar to the wooden shield that Abatai attacked Shunxiang Fort back then.

These wooden shields, only with some trees and planks slightly processed, quite rough, think about it also know, from the White Temple Fort and other places, from Xingshan, Changling Mountain and other places are quite far away, if you want to use a cart or a pointed donkey, etc., to transport it, I don't know what year and month to push.

Moreover, with the technical strength of the Qing people, it is impossible to manufacture trench cars, carts, pointed donkeys, etc. on a large scale.

In the clairvoyant mirror, seeing those mountain-attacking equipment, Sun Sanjie sneered in his heart, Changling Mountain starts from the mountainside, as many trench traps, if you want to push these wooden shields up, it is impossible, except for the flesh and blood shields, there is no way for the Tartars under the mountain.

The horn sounded continuously, the two yellow flags continued to gather, on a mountain bag two miles away from the mountain, under the weaving golden dragon of hunting and flying, the two yellow flag banners of Manchuria were constantly looking at the mountains.

Beside them, they rode horses and stood on the Yellow Banner Baya Lama Zhangjing Tulai, Manchuria Yellow Flag Baya Lama Zhangjing Yangshan, and Bai Yintu's brother, Gong Adai, who served as an auxiliary general.

Eight Banners Mongolia is the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen Adai, the Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen **, and there are the main banners of the Mongolian Tumut Left and Right Banners of the Outer Domain, Zasak Omubu Chuhuer, Shanba, the Karaqin Right Wing Banner Zasak Gulu Siqibu, and the Gelma people who newly took over the Karaqin Left Wing Banner Zasak, etc., are also riding horses.

Outflanking Xingshan and other Ming army's rear road of the Manchurian and Mongolian Yellow Banners, it can be said that most of the Mongolian princes and ministers of the foreign domains gathered here, and the soldiers and horses on the battlefield elsewhere were only led by Beile and Taiji under their own banners, which can be said to attach great importance to the Jingbian Army in Changling Mountain.

Looking at the ordinary, narrow mountain range in front of him, Bai Yintu's eyes showed contempt, and his voice was like thunder: "Is the emperor making a big fuss?" Just a mountain, but also to gather my two yellow flags to attack? ”

He is a veteran of the old slave era, and his qualifications are very old-fashioned, so although he is loyal to Huang Taiji, he is not very respectful in tone, and he speaks more casually.

The owner of the Zhengqi banner, Ashanren, was thin and thin, his expression was quite gloomy, and he was more cautious, he looked at the mountain and shook his head: "It won't be so simple, the defenders on the mountain are the Jingbian army...... And this is the key to digging a trench and breaking the road, even if those minions dig the trench to the sea, with this nail, it will not be considered to cut off the connection between Xingshan and Matsuyama......"

He pondered slightly: "Well, let the Mongolian tribes of the outer vassals and those Aha go up first, and test the layout of the troops on the mountain......"

This time, there were quite a lot of Aha slaves, Han, Korea, Mongolia and other populations, and the Han people accounted for the majority, because they used measures such as raising flags and distributing fields in advance, and they were quite enthusiastic about fighting.

Although there are also many auxiliaries in the army, but most of these miscellaneous soldiers are Manchurians, and they are just the remnants of the cattle recorded, if the bannermen are killed or injured in battle, they are an important supplement to the bannermen, and the Ahshan people are naturally unwilling to be easily consumed.

And their Manchurian method of warfare was to use cannon fodder extensively, first driven by the Han people or the Han Eight Banners, followed by the Mongolian tribes of the outer domains, then the Mongolian Eight Banners, and finally the turn of the Manchurian Eight Banners.

Among the Manchurians, there is a difference, the savages collected from Oroqen, Xibe, Evenki, Sauron and other places are the dead soldiers among the Manchurians, these war slaves were originally in the slave tribes, and they did not frown at the order to send them to death, which was really a high-quality source of cannon fodder.

At present, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Korean soldiers are not there, so Ahsan naturally wants to send the Mongolian troops of the foreign vassals to go first.

The conversation between him and Bai Yintu, Omubu Chuhuer and others faintly heard about it, they were all secretly angry, these damn Manchurians, if there is anything difficult, they all let us go first, they eat meat, and they only eat some residual cups of cold burning, which is really hateful, plus the news of the steppe, they are even more dissatisfied in their hearts.

However, they surrendered to the Qing State and had a strategic layout, but it was not their turn to fight, so they just had to send them to death with peace of mind.

Bai Yintu disagreed with Ashan's caution, he looked at the sky: "It's okay, it's almost mid-hour (ten o'clock in the morning), let Omu Buchuhuer, Shanba, lead some soldiers and horses, and 5,000 Aha slaves to take it and try it......"

He said lightly: "It's still a big fuss, just a mountain, two or three thousand defenders, or a heavy army, a large army attack, it will definitely go down with a drum!" ”

As he spoke, he instructed his subordinates: "Give the order to attack." ”

Noon......

Bai Yintu's face was ugly, Ah Shan was also frowning, the two looked at the mountains with hatred, the artillery and birds stopped for a while, and the side was still filled with gunsmoke, and another wave of Mongolian soldiers from the outer domains fled down the mountain with screams, and countless Aha slaves cried.

The various Mongolian tribes of the outer domains have been sent out to attack in turn, and all of them have suffered heavy casualties under their strange defensive lines, and even Gelma, who has newly taken over as the left wing banner of Karaqin, was burned blind because a gray bullet exploded next to him.

The losses under it were serious, and the Zasak and Taiji of these various departments were full of complaints, regardless of the soft and hard measures of Baiyintu and Ashan, and said that they were unwilling to attack again......

At the end of noon, the Eight Banners of Mongolia were dispatched, as well as a part of the Manchurian soldiers of the Second Yellow Banner, and more miscellaneous Ahamen, who covered the narrow mountains in black pressure.

When they reached the foot of the Long Ridge Mountain, here, and further above, there were corpses and blood all the way to the low wall and ditch on the mountainside, and the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder smoke came.

On the slope, there were all kinds of broken banners and armor, weapons and wooden shields, and many undead Han slaves, lying in the pile of corpses and groaning in pain, helplessly reaching out to the people who attacked the mountain again for help, but no one paid attention to them.

Because the Qing Dynasty had military rules for retrieving the corpses of their own soldiers, and the Jingbian army was far away, the dead and wounded Mongols and Manchu soldiers had their comrades-in-arms to carry them back, but those clothed minions, all parties let their corpses go wild.

Those Mongol and Manchurian soldiers, holding weapons, some walked up the mountainside with a cold heart, and many Aha slaves, pushing the wooden shield to cover, although there were many corpses and blood on the ground, but the hillside was gentle, and there were no trees and weeds, it was still easy to walk.

It's just that the residual smoke, and the smell of blood, make people feel uncomfortable.

Before they reached the mountainside, they heard a strange whistling sound, and some experienced Manchurian and Mongolian officers shouted in horror: "Attention, it's the poison and ash bullets of the Jingbian Army, pay attention to cover your mouth and nose, and protect your eyes!" ”

It's just that in the loud explosion of the roar, the dazzling poisonous smoke and white ash are spreading, and there are still many Manchu and Mongolian Qing soldiers, pushing the wooden shields and handymen in clothes, howling and covering their eyes, or desperately rolling and convulsing and vomiting, many people inhale the poisonous smoke, and their skin turns blue-gray.

It is useless for them to cover their faces with damp cloths, and the wipes are accompanied by white ash, which makes the burn damage to the skin of the eyes even more serious. (To be continued)
