The 35,000 regiments of the mountain army were all assembled in Songyue Mountain, and Zhang Li stood on a high platform in the middle of the camp in military uniform, looking at the dense soldiers under the stage with a solemn face.

After receiving the emergency military situation reported by Chen Zhengcao's Flying Eagle Summons yesterday, Zhang Li immediately summoned Gao Yuanliang and others to discuss. Now the Tuanshan Army is faced with two choices: one is to retreat to the south of Songyue Mountain and temporarily avoid the edge of the Japanese-Qing coalition army; The second was to launch a general attack on the Qing army before the Japanese army arrived in Kaesong.

Zhang Li chose the latter. The reason is obvious, if you retreat to the south of Songyue Mountain, maybe your side is relatively safer, but Lu Xiangsheng's Shandong army, which came from Yuanshan Port to Kaesong, is equivalent to being "pitted" - how can Zhang Li do this kind of thing?

Gao Yuanliang stood beside Zhang Li, and once again admonished: "My lord, the army of the Japanese should soon arrive in Kaesong to join the battle, let's retreat to the south of Songyue Mountain, and it is more secure to hold on to the artillery position......

Zhang Zhang waved his hand and said lightly: "The heart of the Japanese invaders is not dead, it seems that I still underestimate them." My original intention was to ask the Japanese to borrow some silver envoys, but I didn't expect them to dare to crash into them and send them to death. The Wako are a hundred times more hateful than Jiannu, and how can I retreat! Besides, as soon as we retreat south, Lu Xiangsheng will be in danger. ”.

Gao Yuanliang nodded and stopped talking, obviously he didn't want to watch Lu Xiangsheng's Shandong army being eaten by the enemy.

Zhang Zhang glanced at the army in the audience, brewed his emotions for a while, and then used all his strength to shout to the soldiers in the audience: "As the old saying goes, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather." The soldiers have been in Korea for more than a year, and finally ushered in the day of the decisive battle. Today I beat the drums for the armies, and the mountain army of our regiment has advanced and not retreated. Make sure you get it done! ”

The soldiers in the audience immediately shouted in unison: "I am willing to die for my lord, I am willing to serve my country!" ”

Zhang Zhang waved the command flag in his hand and shouted: "Tuanshan Army, go into battle!" ”

"Out of battle-!" More than 30,000 people once again chanted in unison, and the momentum shook the sky.

……

Hong Chengchou got up early this morning and was washing up in the camp. Suddenly, I felt my right eyelid start to beat involuntarily. Hong Chengchou was faintly uneasy in his heart, there is a saying that "the left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster", could it be that there is something ominous today?

However, as the commander of the First Army, how could Hong Chengchou believe these unwarranted things? After returning to the Chinese army's big tent, Hong Chengchou quickly called the Japanese advance officer Fujimoto Kenichi.

Hong Seungchu does not speak Japanese, but Kenichi Fujimoto knows Chinese. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, or the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, when the Han Chinese were unified, Japan had very frequent contacts with China. Not many Chinese can speak Japanese, but many Japanese people know Chinese.

Kenichi Fujimoto is in his fifties. Although he is not tall, he seems to be very energetic, and his spotless clothes show that he is a person who loves to hurry up and has a strict personality. Hong Chengchou sat on the chair of the master of the main seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, gently scraped the floating tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, and asked lightly: "Can your army rush to Kaesong today?" ”

Kenichi Fujimoto bowed deeply and replied, "Exactly. Our 70,000-strong army left Wonsan Port yesterday and is expected to arrive today. ”

Hong Chengchou bowed slightly, and after taking a sip of tea. He put the teacup on the table beside him, and then said, "The artillery of the Tuanshan Army will definitely not be able to be transported in the next two days. Defend it strictly today, wait for the arrival of the Japanese army, rest for the night, and launch a general attack on the Tuanshan Army tomorrow. ”

"Report - Taishi, the big thing is not good, the Tuanshan army is dispatched. Kill our camp! A terrible cry came from outside the tent.

Hong Chengchou was startled, stood up from the Taishi chair with a swish, strode to the outside of the tent, and shouted anxiously as he walked: "What? The Tuanshan army is dispatched?! ”

The scout outside the tent saw Hong Chengchou come out of the tent and immediately fell to his knees. He said with palpitations: "Qiqi Taishi, the Tuanshan Army is indeed pouring out!" ”

At this critical moment, Hong Chengchou didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered: "The whole army will attack!" ”

……

This time, the Tuanshan army came very quickly, and the army was divided into three routes: left, center, and right, and pressed towards the Qing army together.

There were 10,000 Gao Yuanliang on the left, 10,000 on the middle lane, 10,000 on the right, and 10,000 Pan Batian on the right, and 5,000 cavalry from Chaolu also appeared in the middle.

The previous battle cavalry did not fight, mainly because the horses were already exhausted after passing through the difficult mountain road of Mt. Matsutake, and after more than a day of rest, the cavalry was finally able to fight.

It's just that the artillery still hasn't been delivered, after all, it's too difficult for hundreds of pounds or even thousands of artillery to pass through the rugged and slippery terrain of Songdake Mountain.

However, the infantry of this regiment was neatly disposed, and both ammunition and mines in their hands were fully replenished through the manpower transportation of "Korean volunteers".

All 50,000 Qing troops came out of the camp and lined up along the plain. As soon as the Tuanshan Army came up, it launched a full-army charge, and did not give the Qing army a chance to breathe at all.

Gao Yuanliang's troops on the left side and Geng Zhongming's troops were on the right wing, while Pan Batian on the right wing also faced the white flag and the white flag Azig.

The front of the Qing army was densely packed with silver carts, and Hong Chengchou decided to make a desperate bet and hold on until the arrival of "reinforcements" no matter what.

However, this time the effect was obviously much worse than the first battle, and every soldier in the Qing army more or less won a lot of silver in the last battle, and everyone was a little reluctant - no one was a fool, after all, no one wanted to do anything that had a life to earn money, but no one wanted to do anything that did not cost money.

Watching the black and oppressive Tuanshan army slowly approaching, Hong Chengchou frowned deeply in the middle of the Chinese army. The Tuanshan army is so terrifying, if this battle cannot be won, it will not be able to fight in the field at all in the future!

Since the end of Wanli, the Jurchens have relied on their fierce heavy infantry to beat the Ming army all over the place, and for decades they only dared to retreat in the city and defend the city with Hongyi cannons. In just a few years, the once Jin army has become the Tuanshan army, and the Ming army, which was once unbearable in the field, has become the Jin army. The world is impermanent, is this the so-called "reincarnation"?

Hong Chengchou had been in a high position for a long time in the Ming Dynasty, and he had a very clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, so his heart became colder and colder. can train the Han people to hang the tension of the Manchu Eight Banners, is it that the gods descended to earth and did not belong to the people of this era?

Could it be that he has worked hard all his life, and in the end it is a bamboo basket for nothing? (To be continued.) )
