Chapter 152: Storming the Big Buddha Ridge

Tong Tulai made the most correct decision to storm the Big Buddha Ridge.

The Han army that entered Jiaodong with Yue Tuo this time had a total of 12 Niu Lu of the Han Army Zhenghuang Banner and 5 Niu Lu of the Han Army Zheng Red Flag, about 5,000 people.

More than 100 people were killed in the battle of crossing the Jiaolai River, and more than 200 musketeers were killed by the artillery of the Jingbei Army in the attack on Laizhou City yesterday, so Tong Tulai had less than 5,000 soldiers in his hands.

The matter was urgent, although Tong Tulai was not satisfied with Ao Bei forcing him to attack the defense line of the Jingbei Army, he also knew that the official road must be opened as soon as possible, otherwise once the food is cut off, everyone will have no good fruit to eat.

Tong Tulai knew very well what would happen to him, a traitor who betrayed Fushun, in the hands of the Ming army.

"Tong Guowei, later you will lead five Niu Lu's infantry to take the Great Buddha Ridge for Pontus, and I will let Tong Guoen lead a Niu Lu fire gun to support you."

"Yes, Amma!"

Tong Guowei is the youngest son of Tong Tulai, he is eighteen years old this year, out of preference for his youngest son, this time, Tong Tulai is to take Tong Guowei with him, which also hopes that he will make military achievements and get a background in the future.

Tong Guowei did not live up to Tong Tulai's expectations, since entering the customs, he has repeatedly taken the lead, broken through three county towns of the Ming Kingdom, killed two Ming guerrillas, garrisoned several people, and was awarded the Yellow Banner of the Han Army by Dolgon for his merits.

"Jin Li, you led the headquarters of the Red Banner Han Army to feint on the peak of the side of the Big Buddha Ridge, as well as the Ming army's walled city on the official road, all of them did not seek a breakthrough, as long as you attract the attention of the Ming thief, you must not give them the opportunity to support the Big Buddha Ridge!"

"Wow!"

Jin Li also bowed down to receive orders.

Feint, that is, let himself be beaten passively at the foot of the mountain, but Jin Li did not dare not listen, he was originally the capital of Wubao in Mingguo Town, and he surrendered to Nurhachi because he was afraid of the might of the Eight Banners Army.

As a senior traitor, Jin Li also knows how the Ming Congress will deal with his traitor, and the uncle Tong Yangxing, who is the commander of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army in front of him, was sent to Jingshi by Mao Wenlong, who killed a thousand knives, and cut 3,600 knives.

"Woo, woo, woo......!"

The desolate sound of the bull's horn spread through the mountains, making a burst of mournful chirps, coupled with the constant echoes, which made people feel extremely palpitating.

"Kill the leader of this association, capture the Big Buddha Ridge, and the leader of this association will be rewarded!"

Tong Guowei roared with his sword, and commanded the Han army under his command to rush towards the mountain.

Tong Tulai could think of attacking the Big Buddha Ridge, and the second town general Wang Zhong and Lei Deng's soldiers also thought that the Qing army would attack the Big Buddha Ridge.

For this blocking battle, Wang Zhong divided the 5,000 soldiers of the headquarters into two divisions, and he and Mou Wenshou led two infantry teams of Mandarin Duck Army, two infantry teams of long-range soldiers and two infantry teams of white pole soldiers to guard the Big Buddha Ridge, and the rest of the military horses were led by Lang Shaozhen to guard Panlong Mountain.

In the position of Dafo Ridge, Wang Zhong deployed a total of two long-range infantry teams, a Mandarin Duck infantry team and a white-pole infantry team, but the walled city stuck on the official road and the nameless mountain peak on the other side each deployed an infantry team.

If you don't have enough manpower, you will use the people brought this time to fill the number, Lao Tzu doesn't want you to cut people, but you will always throw the stones and rolling wood behind the mud wall.

The earth-shattering war drums resounded on the left side of the Big Buddha Ridge, the desolate bull's horn kept screaming, the cannon sound of Tong Tulai's urging troops shook the heavens and the earth, and nearly 5,000 Han army flags were divided into three roads and went straight to the peaks on both sides of the Jingbei Army Walled City

However, at this moment, the official road in front of the walled city is already a formidable existence, the official road has long been dug up in pieces, and the Jingbei army has set up one roadblock after another with those piled up of dirt, trees, mountains and rocks, and those places that can be walked are covered with sharp piles and thistles.

No one in the middle of the Qing army attacking the official road dared to rush in, after all, they were also human beings, and they would also be afraid, once they fell inside, they would become a live target for the Jingbei army on the high ground on both sides.

Fortunately, the military order Jin Li got was a feint, in fact, it was to slowly clear the barricades, if you hit me, I would shrink back, if you didn't fight, I would go up again.

At the same time as the Jin Li Department acted, Tong Guowei and Tong Guoen also moved, and unlike the siege, this time the Qing army was advancing at the same time as the Han army, which was also so that when the whole army was launched, the charging infantry could get effective fire support.

However, the Great Buddha Ridge is also a formidable existence, and the Han army banner only advanced more than ten zhang before encountering the first trench and mud wall of the Jingbei army

The bamboo stakes in front of the trench successfully delayed the Qing army's marching speed, and no one dared to step on the bamboo stakes to charge, so the Han army banners had to use the big shield as a cover, bending down to clear the stakes while advancing.

The sluggish Qing army became a live target for the defenders behind the mud wall, and in the second town, except for hundreds of Shandong troops and 25 mandarin duck soldiers, the rest were all young and strong people who had just joined the army.

They are not good at the use of weapons, and of course the Jingbei Army does not have so many weapons for them to use.

There is no weapon that does not matter, and the stones and wood on the mountain are the best weapons.

At the same time as the Han army flag attacked, these recruits moved countless stones and rolling logs from behind the mud wall and threw them down the mountain.

The superiority of the condescending position was on full display in the battle of the mountain, where stones and logs rained down from behind the mud walls.

The first to bear the brunt were those Han army flags with large shields.

The rolling stones and logs that rolled down by inertia smashed heavily on the big shield, and the Han troops holding the big shield were all shocked and painful, and were pushed to the foot of the mountain by the huge impact.

However, the rolling logs and stones did not stop the momentum of rolling, but rolled faster and faster, and wherever they passed, the Han army flags were all turned over by people on their backs.

There were a few powerful Han army banners with their strength, and they actually blocked a few stones, although this powerful impact made them numb, but they were all happy, after all, the companions around them who were smashed by the stones and their brains burst were too terrifying.

But the stones leaped high, flew over their heads, and smashed into their colleagues who were desperately trying to pull out the stakes.

"Hide, hide!"

In the face of the falling stones and logs, the Han army flags retreated one by one, trying to find a place where they could hide.

"Shoot the musketeers, shoot the thieves who dare to take the lead."

Tong Guoen hid behind a big tree and roared heartbreakingly, but his orders were in vain.

In fact, when the Jingbei army threw down the stones just now, the musketeers and the archers of the Han army had already begun to shoot, although they hit some of the Jingbei army, but more Jingbei troops threw out the rolling logs and stones in their hands.

"Ah......h

The musketeers of the Qing army, who were attacking in formation, suddenly fell in large numbers.

Some of them had their hands and feet broken, some of them were hit in the chest, some of them were smashed on the head and bleeding, and the dead were hundreds, and those who were not dead were constantly struggling and begging on the ground.

A few of them broke their legs, dragging their stumps while turning their heads down the mountain, wanting to return to the official road, and begging Lord Tutong to save their lives.

In this era, if these injured soldiers are not treated in time, they can basically be declared dead.
