From a situational point of view, the attack launched by the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces on the Thirteen Mountains area was passive, not active.

The original strategic deployment of the coalition forces was to use the new army from Jinzhou to exhaust the Shanhaiguan and then wait for an opportunity to break the enemy.

Now, because the Restoration Army sent a force to cross the Daling River and march eastward, this force was stuck at the 13 Mountain Station, which was the only place for the coalition army to march west to Jinzhou, so it forced the coalition army to launch an attack in advance.

Otherwise, the Thirteen Mountains Standing in the Coalition Army is equivalent to the Jinzhou Yu Restoration Army. Once the coalition forces are unable to break through the Thirteen Mountain Station, the defenders of Jinzhou may be completely annihilated by the main forces of the Restoration.

If Jinzhou is lost, the battlefield situation will become more and more unfavorable to the coalition forces. Jilin General Fu Yu pointed out

The importance of "keeping the enemy out of the country", this country is not a real country, it is Jinzhou, which is accused of choking the western corridor of Liaoning.

The coalition forces knew very well that despite the addition of Mongol in southern China, the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces outside the Guanwai could not be compared with the Restoration Puppet Dynasty that owned half of the world in Guannai, in terms of troops, equipment, money and food, so this war could only be resolved quickly and must not be fought into a protracted war.

Wu Keshan's gray grandson, Prince Zhuo Liktu, was extremely arrogant, thinking that the Guannai Restoration Army was mainly composed of green battalion soldiers, and that they could not fight with firearms, but firearms could not play a decisive role at all, otherwise I would not have beaten the Ming Dynasty like a grandson in the Qing Dynasty, and finally entered the customs and became the master of China.

"The prince is right, those Han people were not our opponents of the Manchurian soldiers a hundred years ago, and the same is true today!" Kung Rabutan's words greatly boosted the morale of the Manmeng generals in the big tent, and they were also full of confidence.

Without it, what the prince said is true, in all the foreign wars of the Qianlong Dynasty, which time relied on firearms to decide the victory, didn't it rely on the armored Sauron to kill with a big bow and sharp blade.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of cavalry in this coalition army, although the armor rate is not high, and the weapons are poor, but the vast momentum formed by the large-scale cavalry charge is afraid of the king of Hades, and the Han soldiers from the pass.

"If you fight, you can pierce the true face of that devil six-paper tiger!" Gongge Rabutan took the initiative to propose that the sons and daughters he brought with him attack the puppet army first, to find out their details, and at the same time to severely damage the morale of the two dogs of the Han people.

"Attack! Offensive! Offensive! "Prince Tushetu Lashnamzar also tended to take the initiative to attack during the military council, believing that whoever made the first move and carried out the most fierce attack would be victorious.

"I can't help the Qing Dynasty for a day, and I will break that devil's body into ten thousand pieces, and my son and I will not return to our hometown!" As one of the three Mongolian giants who came to meet the alliance, Wangzal Dorji, the prince of Darhan on the left wing of Korqin, naturally also stood up to cheer up the soldiers of the coalition army.

Although the terrain around the 13th Mountain Station was more favorable to the defenders before the battle, the call for a decisive battle still overshadowed the cautious advice.

The Korqin Left Wing Central Banner Army led by Gonggar Rabutan became the vanguard of the coalition forces as he wished, and took the lead in attacking the Restoration Army.

The battle started on the 21st, but on the 20th, a royal camp sent a copy of the court entitled "Yuzu Yingyuan, Ruilin and Other Enemy Opportunities" to Jinniudong, where the headquarters of the Second Army was located.

The Sixth Emperor of the Imperial Court asked the Second Army with concern: "Since the discovery of the Mongol soldiers in Shifobao, have you fully grasped the movements, numbers, and commanders of the Mongol troops, and have you fought with the Mongols or the Eight Banners?" If I see a battle, I should give a great shock to the thieves, so that they know that I am not a paper tiger! "It's as if he also participated in the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition meeting.

If you can't figure out the meeting of the coalition forces, there may be a detailed work of the Restoration Dynasty, otherwise there is no reason for the devil six to come up with the statement of a paper tiger.

The corps' order to the Second Army was: "If Horqin and other troops do converge with the Shengjing bandits, then the Erqin troops should no longer advance to Guangning, and choose a favorable terrain to camp to prevent the Manchu and Mongolian bandits from entering the Jinzhou Pass, so as to ensure the smooth siege of Jinzhou." In addition, more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of a town under the command of An Mu were brought to reinforce the Erbu with the Jartrin hand-cranked wheel, which was transferred by the Second Army at that time. At the same time, Wang Fu, commander of the Eastern Advance Corps, sent a telegram to the imperial camp, saying that the strategy previously formulated was mainly to eliminate the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai headed by the Eight Banners of the Shengjing Garrison, and to annihilate 10,000 or 20,000 enemies and occupy Jinzhou, Guangning, and Shengjing as the strategic completion goal, so as to create conditions for the complete liberation of the Guanwai in the next step.

At present, the confluence of the various units of southern Mongolia and the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai has not only complicated the enemy's situation, but also made the enemy's strength huge, so the campaign objective should be changed to the total annihilation of the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces as the campaign goal.

Jia Liubai replied in a busy manner: "It is absolutely necessary to upgrade the scale of the campaign and increase the number of enemies to be destroyed. If the southern Mongolian settlement is solved, the northern part of the desert and the west of the desert are expected to be peaceful. In the reply, Jia Liu particularly emphasized how the campaign should be fought and how to deploy, and the operation in several stages would be controlled by the Eastern Advance Corps itself, but the first stage must be to inflict heavy damage or destroy no less than 10,000 people as the combat goal, and then annihilate the enemy's main force.

He also asked Commander Wang if he had any confidence. After receiving a positive reply, Jia Liulong Yan Dayue asked the attendant room to prepare the paper money he used to go to Fuling to worship his ancestors, as well as gunpowder, pickaxes, hammers and other items.

The first battle between the two armies took place at dawn on the 21st, when Bezitab, led by more than 700 armored cavalrymen under the command of Gonggar Rabutan, wrapped their hooves in cloth and covered their horses' mouths, took advantage of the early dawn and the cover of the woods to suddenly rush towards a new army in front of them.

The attacked Restoration Army was a subordinate unit of the 10th Infantry Association of the Fourth Town under the jurisdiction of the Second Army, and its predecessor was the officers and soldiers of Chengdu Town, the main force of the Sichuan Green Battalion.

Therefore, after being attacked by the Mongol cavalry, the battalion immediately counterattacked on the spot, although the strength was less than the attacking Mongol cavalry, the officers and men were also very brave in counterattacking, and fired a signal for help in the air at the first time.

After receiving the enemy's situation, Song Guozhong, the cavalry assistant commander of the Second Army, immediately led his troops to attack the flank of the Mongolian soldiers. Seeing that he could not break through, Tabu beat his horse and led his troops back to their original position.

In this contact, the casualties on both sides ranged from dozens to dozens. However, Tabu was not discouraged, because this attack was a tentative attack for the general offensive of the army.

"These Han soldiers have some courage, and they have never been defeated at the first touch." Seeing that the Restoration Army was both infantry and cavalry, and that the neighboring troops were also reinforced as soon as they were attacked, instead of fighting their own battles in a chaotic manner, he put away his contempt.

Tabu disagreed, saying that he failed to break through to expand the results of the battle because the puppet army dug a lot of trenches in front of the battle, set up a lot of stumbling ropes, and the warriors who rushed in front did not check, resulting in a frustration in the assault, not how capable the Han soldiers in the pass were.

Gonggara Bhutan nodded and looked at Tenzin Wangpo, the second son who was already wearing armor beside him: "Second brother, you are taking the lead, are you sure?" ”

"Ama rest assured, the child has selected a hundred warriors to wear double armor as dead soldiers, just wait to clear the obstacles in front of the Han soldiers, that is, they can break through and turn them upside down!" Tenzin Wangpo is very confident, and his confidence comes from his experience of studying in Kannai.

Eleven years ago, as the heir of Horqin's own domain, he was selected as a second-class guard to accompany Mingrui to Burma, so he had a great idea of the combat ability of the green battalion soldiers in Guannai.
