……
At the foot of Shimen Mountain, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the mountain navy soldiers wearing red hats and short armor attacked the mountains like a tide.
Raindrops of rolling wood and rocks, from time to time from the mountain, sharp arrows shuttle, up and down the mountain, the corpses and wounded are layered on top of each other, and the air is filled with a rich smell of blood and sulfur smoke.
The battle was wrenched, although the Qing soldiers guarding the mountain were few, but they were quite tenacious, those Manchurian soldiers shot accurate and ruthless arrows, and those Korean soldiers, many of whom were good at using trebuchets, and they also had many bird guns. On the side of the Ming army, although the troops are superior, the mountains are rugged, and they can't be used, and the chariots can't be pushed up.
They could only be covered by shields, and in the face of the sharp arrows of the Qing army, they often only attacked the front of the walled wall and ditch, and were beaten to cry and flee back.
And at this distance, the bows and arrows of the Qing army are all very accurate, and their arrows, although they do not shoot far, have extremely strong armor-piercing and bloodletting. Many mountain navy soldiers, who were hit by arrows in their bodies, soon felt weak and powerless, and lost their combat effectiveness.
Although the bird guns of the North Korean army cannot be compared with the Ming army, if those who are shot at this distance, the consequences are also very terrible.
West Stone Gate, Jialazhang Jingyanzha Defense.
Just like the defense line of the Loess Ridge at that time, the walled wall and ditch there are also one wall and three ditches.
An earthen wall, three trenches, learned the lessons of the battle of Loess Ridge, the original wall, many of which were stone walls, are now all changed to earthen walls. In front of the earthen wall. There were also a lot of earthen baskets and bags piled up. Hongyi cannon used to protect against the Ming army.
Because the mountain is rugged, only between the two ridges, there are some gentle slopes, there are some mountain roads that can be walked, and the walled wall built between the two ridges has a husband and a husband, and there is a trend that cannot be opened.
At this time, in front of the wall, many wounded corpses of the Ming army had fallen, and the blood flowing made a disgusting smell in the sun. A lot of flesh-and-blood stones rolled everywhere on the hillside and mountain road.
The sound of a bird's gun sounded like a bean, and the North Korean army behind the wall. In the Korean dialect that they couldn't understand, they shouted and pulled the trigger.
Another wave of Ming troops attacking the mountain screamed and fell, although they had shields to cover, but the light shields could not block the bullets, if it was a shield wrapped in iron, it was so heavy that few people could lift it. The Ming army in Shanhai Town was not accustomed to using bird guns, so those who used firearms mostly used three-eyed guns.
With the range and power of the Three-Eyed Gun, which is the opponent of the Bird Gun? If you use a bow and arrow. How could they shoot past the Qing soldiers behind the wall?
Moreover, because of the terrain, the troops there could not be used, and each wave of attacks was purely a refueling tactic.
The bowstring sounded continuously, and while those North Korean soldiers were shooting, the Qing soldiers on the wall of the wall shot arrows one by one.
The big and heavy arrow came with a roar, and in the blink of an eye, the Ming army of this wave continued to scream and be hit by the arrow. Those who were shot. I only felt a cold on my body, and then quickly, my body was weak and weak. And from the perspective of others, these sergeants who were hit by arrows were all bleeding. Extremely scary.
"Boom!"
Raindrops of stones flashed out from behind the wall. Then, with the momentum, he rolled down the hillside.
In the frightened gaze of these mountain-attacking Ming troops, many round stones rushed towards them.
In the midst of a burst of howls, many Ming soldiers were hit and broken on the spot.
Those who hit the body will spurt blood from their mouths, and if they are hit by their hands and feet, they will end up with broken hands and feet.
Many people exposed Bai Sensen's bones on the spot, holding the wounds, all of them in pain.
These Ming troops, the will to fight is not resolute, and then look at the miserable howls of their comrades, the tragic situation on their bodies, and no longer have the courage to attack the mountain, and they are immediately defeated. They shouted and fled down the mountain, ignoring even the hoarse roars of the superiors.
The Ming army that attacked there failed again, and Yan Zha on the wall laughed loudly, full of pride: "These Nikans are just vulnerable!" ”
……
Ma Ke under the mountain was pale and very angry, he thought that the battle of attacking the mountain would be easy, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.
Xishimen is difficult to attack, but he expected it, the mountain is steep, and most of the mountain navy that is attacking is a squad army, and its own combat strength is not as good as that of the battalion. But the middle army, on which he pinned his high hopes, also made slow progress, which made Ma Ke embarrassed.
In that area, a small number of chariots can move forward, and most of the mortars and rockets of this God of War Aircraft Battalion are also arranged at the foot of that mountain. The soldiers and horses of the several battalions attacked were also guerrilla generals in several towns who were close to him, and compared with those squad generals, the treatment was much better, and the troops were stronger.
Compared with the West Stone Gate, there are more Tartar defenders on this side, but compared to the Ming army attacking the mountain, the strength is obviously weak. More than 1,000 Tartars and Korean soldiers, plus some miscellaneous servants and other things, also achieved this virtue.
Not to mention that Ma Ke couldn't hold his face, seeing such a result, Hong Chengchou in the rear of the army of the Three Towns frowned, disappointed, and Wang Dou also shook his head. The generals of the Jingbian Army behind him all showed contempt, and Wang Pu, Fu Yingchong and others sneered and laughed, whispered, and said cool things.
Looking at their appearance, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, and others are not good in their hearts, but they support them openly and secretly, but this is the result. Could it be that Ji Liaojun is really a dou who can't be supported? Perhaps, to replace Ma Ke, let Wu Sangui go.
Huang Taiji and the others in Rufeng Mountain City also sneered, the Ming army was so combative, which made them feel very relieved. Let the Ming army under the mountain run rampant now, and let them know what a nightmare is when the battle of crossing the river is due.
Suddenly, another cry came from the mountain, and Ma Ke looked in shock, but saw that a group of officers and soldiers of the left battalion were desperately fleeing, and dozens of white flag armor soldiers were chasing behind him.
There were nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers in this force, and there were less than 100 Tartar soldiers who chased and killed the wall, but none of these officers and soldiers dared to turn back to face the battle, all of them lost their armor and lost their souls, and many people desperately shouted: "Defeated, defeated!" The tartar is too fierce, the big guy can't stand it! ”
The rout of these people affected the follow-up teams attacking the mountain. A lot of people shouted as well. Turn around and run. Some of the guys who were pushing the chariot and the Franc machine also left the chariot and the artillery, and should run back with them.
In a hill under the mountain, there are ten Shenji battalion mortars and twenty rocket vehicles.
Looking at the mountain and sea soldiers in front of them, shouting and running under the hills, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion all looked at each other blankly. Before the battle. Fu Guerrilla repeatedly affirmed that assuring them of their own safety during the battle, is the current situation considered safe?
And then look at some of the fierce Tartar soldiers. He had already rushed with a tiger gun and a knife, and he was only a hundred steps away from him.
Although these sergeants of the Shenji Battalion were all equipped with Lu Mi guns, including gunners, archers, and escort sergeants, there were nearly 200 people on the hills. However, in the face of less than 100 Tartar armor soldiers, they also screamed loudly, dropped artillery rockets, and were dizzy and scurried with the flow of people.
The cries and clamor of the mountains and fields ahead made Ma Ke and the others stunned. Fu Tingfu, a guerrilla of the Shenji Battalion, rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe the situation in front of him, and then he woke up, his face pale.
The sergeants of the Shenji Battalion are all related and well-connected, and if the soldiers and horses they bring out are seriously damaged, they will not know how they will die when they return to the Beijing Division.
He roared loudly and roared at Ma Ke beside him, "Mr. Ma." Is that the security you guarantee? Before the war, you said that the soldiers of our Shenji Battalion were all fighting from afar, and there would definitely be no danger. Now you see, it's a long way away, but the Tartars are rushing to the front of the artillery. That's your guarantee? Mako, if my subordinates are damaged. I won't let you go! ”
Ma Ke looked at Fu Tingfu suddenly, the expression in his eyes was unpredictable, seeing Ma Ke's eerie appearance, Fu Tingfu's heart jumped.
But seeing a smile on Ma Ke's face again, he said, "General Fu, don't worry, the brothers of the Shenji Battalion will be fine!" ”
He instructed a pro-army colonel beside him: "Go, tell Xiangfeng, let him resist, the generals of the first battalion let dozens of Tartars break down, it's a joke to say it!" ”
Then his voice became gloomy: "Those dozens of Tartars don't die, even if I don't cut him on the spot, impeachment afterwards, those officials and generals in Jizhen will be their fate!" Let him remember! ”
The little colonel led some of his own soldiers, he looked at the back in the distance, Ma Ke looked at Shimen Mountain and muttered: "This mountain, I will definitely fight it!" ”
Wu Sangui was worried, the battle of Shimen Mountain was unexpected, he said: "The battle is like this, Ma Shuai wants Ning Yuan's army to support?" ”
Tang Tong also smiled on the side: "If you want to support, the junior brother is crowded, you can still send some soldiers and horses." ”
He was concerned on his face, but in fact, there was no sense of schadenfreude in his words, compared to Ma Ke, his Eastern Route Army, but it was going well, and when the attack reached Shimen Mountain, it would be a beautiful record.
Ma Ke smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ben Shuai can handle it." ”
He looked at his own general, Ma Zhiren: "It's time for us to go out in the barracks, there are so many battalions in Shanhaiguan, it still depends on us!" ”
He said viciously: "Move the silver box out, and those who dare to be pioneers will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver each, which will be considered a miracle afterwards." Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, just a few hills, the officers and soldiers of my Shanhai Town will not be able to rush down! ”
"Those who dare to be pioneers will be rewarded!"
Immediately, Ma Zhiren and some of the pro-soldiers beside him shouted, and next to Ma Ke, Bai Houren, a guerrilla from the former Jizhen who had just entered the barracks, also roared loudly.
Under the temptation of the generous reward, many outlaws in the immediate barracks signed up, and even Shanhai Town, some other battalion sergeants also came to sign up.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the people, Ma Ke nodded with satisfaction, there is a way to be rewarded, there must be a brave man, this is true.
Not only that, Ma Ke also said to Fu Tingfu: "General Fu, when you can attack the mountain, you also need the support of artillery rockets from the Shenji Battalion." The general also knows that retreating before the battle is going to kill the head! If you capture the mountain, the credit you should have will not be less than that of the general! ”
Fu Tingfu also knew this truth, although he muttered that he wanted the gunners of the Shenji Battalion to withdraw and retreat to the camp. But it's just talking, if it's true, maybe he will be cut by Hong Du, and even Vice General Fu and Uncle Zhong Yong are not good at speaking for themselves.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the last general will trust Ma Shuai again, but remember, I must ensure the safety of the officers and men in my battalion!" ”
Ma Ke laughed: "Don't worry, General Fu just rest assured!" ”
He laughed loudly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
……
At noon, Shimen Mountain.
"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”
Shells whistling. Exploded with a bang in the walls of Shimen Mountain. Strange puffs of smoke filled the air, and some cannonballs exploded, sending white powder flying everywhere.
"Woohoo!"
Fireworks flew up, and countless rockets rushed out of the rocket car, seemingly flying towards the Qing army's position.
After a long attack, the casualties were heavy, and the Ming army had already caught fire, and under the order of Ma Ke, the mortars and rockets of the Shenji battalion were concentrated at the foot of Zhongshimen Mountain. He also didn't care about accidentally injuring the officers and men of his own battalion, and at the same time as the Ming army attacked the mountain, he ordered the artillery rockets of the Shenji battalion under the mountain to fire at the Qing army's position.
These mortars and rockets. Many rounds had been launched before, but because when they were launched, the Qing army could dodge behind the wall, and when the Ming army attacked the mountain later, they came out to meet the battle, so the effect has not been obvious.
Therefore, Ma Ke ordered that when his own army attacked the mountain, the mortar cannons and rockets of the Shenji battalion were also fired, so that the Qing soldiers came out to meet the battle, and there was no way to dodge. Increases the lethal effects of poison bombs and rockets.
Ma Ke seems to have been released, and many battalions in Shanhai Town, with more than 20,000 troops, have attacked on all fronts. The first to take the lead is still his main barracks, and those who are at the forefront are those pioneers who have won the silver bounty.
In ancient times, cold weapon combat was purely manual work, especially those who were pioneers and dead soldiers, and they needed to distribute meat before the battle.
At this time, they were all well fed and drunk. Those who copied knives and guns, roared like thunder, and ran towards the walled wall of Zhongshimen Mountain.
Many people even carried large baskets with many 10,000 enemies in them, because of the Battle of Loess Ridge. The effect of 10,000 enemies is remarkable, so this time the three towns of Mako attacked the mountain. Hong Chengchou moved a lot of enemies from the treasury to them.
Although they are not as big as the 10,000-strong enemy of the Jingbian Army, all of them are large and heavy, and they are not far away, but they are still quite powerful in close combat.
"Kill the Tartars!"
The vanguard heroes of the main barracks roared and ran desperately, and some of their officers were also shouting and agitating hoarsely, and under the encouragement of these heroes, the tide of mountains and navy rushed towards Shimen Mountain.
……
"It looks like it's going to be hard to hold this time!"
On the pier of the fire road in the mountains, Manchuria is under the white flag of Baya Lama Zhangjing, Azignikan, coldly looking at the Ming army shouting under the mountain, from the mountain, they are black and oppressive, it seems to be boundless.
Although the armored soldiers guarding the mountain are brave, after all, there are few soldiers, and what is even more painful is that Azignikan knows that Shimen Mountain is just abandoning the land, and sooner or later he will have to give up, and in the strategy of the high-level, the warriors' perseverance is meaningless.
Moreover, this time the Ming army seems to be iron-hearted, even if the warriors are desperate, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is impossible to hold on for long.
Also, poison bombs and rockets from the Ming army were fired from time to time.
Because the Ming army was pouring in like a tide, it was not far away, and the Qing soldiers guarding the walled wall did not dare to leave and hide, for fear that the Ming army would take advantage of the weakness.
Those damn poison bombs and ash bombs kept exploding in front of and behind the wall.
There was more and more strange smoke, that is, the mouths and noses were covered with wet cloths, and after the smoke invaded, they still coughed. After a long time, his eyes were dizzy and his headache was splitting, which made the Qing soldiers guarding the mountain panic, especially those Korean soldiers, who had howled and scurried.
There are also some gray bombs, after the explosion is opened, it is filled with lime, and everyone can cover their mouths and noses, but their eyes are covered, how can they fight?
Some of the sergeants guarding the village happened to be shrouded in white ash from the explosion, and they all covered their eyes and howled bitterly.
Of course, the Ming army fired mortars and rockets when they attacked the mountains, and there were many cases of accidentally injuring themselves. Fortunately, the mortar cannon exploded less in the sky above the Ming army, even if the poisonous smoke was in the air, when it reached the ground, its power had been greatly reduced.
The point is that some rockets, perhaps for quality reasons, or for long storage, the gunpowder is damp. After some of the rockets of the Shenji Battalion were fired, they did not rush into the air, but twisted their bodies and ran wildly, knocking over a lot of friendly troops in front of them who were shouting and charging.
However, on the whole, it seems that the boundless Ming army is still shouting and rushing towards Shimen Mountain!
Seeing that there were so many Ming troops under the mountain, Kim Haonan, the general of the North Korean army beside Azignikan, was like an ant on a hot pot, and just muttered: "What to do, what to do?" ”
……
When Mako's army fought fiercely with the Qing soldiers, Tang Tong's Miyun army also advanced along the west bank of the Xiaoling River.
Compared with the difficult mountain battle, their progress was much smoother.
This narrow valley is a gentle and soft valley, although in some places it is hilly and winding. Some areas are also wide, between mountains and rivers, quite far away, suitable for the march of chariot brigades.
The character of coach Tang Tong. It also affected the generals of the battalions in the town. When marching, these Miyun troops were quite cautious and careful, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.
They marched cautiously, but did not encounter many Tartars along the way. Another style of the Miyun Army is that it likes to concentrate superior forces and destroy a small number of enemies, in short, it likes to fight more and less.
No matter how many Qing soldiers you encounter. Fifty people, one hundred people, they must gather at least 3,000 men and horses to surround and fight.
Such a cautious attitude, coupled with this terrain. If the enemy's troops and horses cannot be used, even if they use cavalry, there is not much room for detours. Therefore, although they marched slowly, they achieved a lot of success, and the generals of each battalion on the way reported to the commander Tang from time to time that they were victorious.
Or beheading the first level, or decapitating the fifth level, the news of victory continues.
This also made Tang Tong's face shine, and in front of Ma Ke and Wu Sangui, he was quite complacent.
Fierce battles of the Eastern Route Army. Happened in front of the sailors' camp.
On the east side of this place, a pontoon bridge is erected directly to the opposite bank, leading to the small Linghe Fort not far away.
A hundred steps in front of the village of Shuishuiying, a deep trench was dug to cut off the official road, and between the walls and ditches of the wall, the suspension bridge was used to pass through.
Guarding the village trenches, there are about hundreds of Manchurian banner soldiers and Korean soldiers, as well as about more than 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers, which is the place where the enemy army has the strongest strength on this trip. And that's not all. On the left side of the village is Shimen Mountain, the mountain is gentle, and the Qing soldiers on the mountain may rush down to help.
When Tang Tong came to the rescue, he was known as a strong army of more than 10,000 people. The actual number is more than 8,000, and this battle is in addition to the camp of 1,000 people. Most of the rest played. In the middle, there are 3,000 people who are the horse infantry officers and soldiers of his main barracks, and the rest are divided into two battalions, one is a general, and the other is a guerrilla, all of whom are surnamed Tang, and they are considered to be relatives of Tang Tong, so the Miyun army is still very united.
Seeing the strong Tartar soldiers and horses in front, the generals of the left and right battalions who set off at the head did not dare to slack off, and urgently asked for help from the main barracks. They waited under the scorching sun until the main barracks led by Tang Tong's personal general, Tang Zong, arrived.
After Tang Zong arrived, he saw that the Tartar soldiers and horses on the opposite side were strong, and he was also very cautious. After some deliberation among the generals of the three battalions, they concentrated more than 300 chariots and artillery wagons of each battalion, with a large number of Francophone machines and hundreds of guns, to guard the front and the left.
These chariots and artillery were arranged in layers, and the sergeants of each battalion hid inside, forcing the battle step by step.
More than 100 steps away from the wall, the artillery of the Miyun army roared in unison, and a large number of Franc machines and Baizi guns sprayed large strands of fire and gunpowder smoke in front of them.
Careful people are good at playing to their strengths, and the same is true for the military. The Miyun army may know that in hand-to-hand combat, there is a lot of gap between themselves and the Tartar soldiers, so they greatly exert the power of their own chariot artillery.
And the Franc cannon fired quickly, although the cannon was not big, mostly counted two, or one or two catties, but the cannonballs like hail whistled past, like a thunderbolt, the earth and stones on the wall flew sideways, and the Qing troops behind the wall were all embarrassed.
The violent tremor force makes people's internal organs as if they are about to burst, and many people's eardrums are even more painful.
The whistling of this kind of shells, round after round, the layers of chariots advanced and rolled out, and the artillery on the artillery wagons of each chariot rang out from the time of day to noon.
During this long period of time, the Qing soldiers on the other side of the trench wall have been beaten and unable to fight back.
Such terrain does not allow them to use other methods, which is really humiliating.
At mid-noon, the Qing soldiers of the sailor battalion finally received the order to retreat, and thousands of Miyun troops quietly watched them retreat. Before leaving, these Qing soldiers also burned the pontoon bridge from the sailors' battalion to Xiaolinghe Fort, and thousands of Miyun troops were still neatly arranged, and no one acted rashly.
After the Qing soldiers went away, the generals of Tang Sect were still cautious and did not pursue, they pressed along the Xiaoling River under the cover of dense chariots.
After that, there were only some small-scale battles, and before that, the generals of Tang Zong, surrounded by countless soldiers, quietly watched some Qing soldiers burn a huge pontoon bridge at the confluence of the Xiaoling River and the Baigu River.
Not only this pontoon bridge, but also the upper reaches of the bridge, there are also many pontoon bridges, all of which are full of smoke and firelight. If Tang Zong and the others hurriedly sent troops and horses to rob them, they might be able to grab a few pontoon bridges, but they just watched quietly, did not fire a single cannon, did not fire an arrow, and waited until these pontoon bridges burned down.
Thousands of Miyun troops all breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back at the left and right in front of him, all of them were high-spirited faces, Tang Zong laughed, and ordered a personal guard beside him: "Our division fought bloodily, and after repeatedly fighting with slaves, Lai Sheng went to Hongfu, Hong Inspector planned strategizing, Tang Dashuai commanded Ruoding, and finally captured the sailor's battalion, captured the bank of the hundred rivers, and completed the predetermined strategy of our division before the war, this battle, a great victory!"
