Chapter 268: Blood Bravery

The high-spirited sound of golden drums resounded between heaven and earth, and the low sound of trumpets echoed in the mountains and valleys.

At this time, the camp of the Ming army was already boiling over, and countless armored soldiers surged out of the camp tents everywhere under the guidance of the banner.

The fiery red streams continued to move forward, flowing, and the camps that flowed through them converged into large formations one after another.

Red tassels, red clothes, red battle flags.

Looking down from the Daqing Mountain, I felt that there was a red color in all directions.

Dolgon stood on the seventy-two tower of the Great Wall in the Qingshan Pass, and the entire battle situation was in full view of him.

Seventy-two coupon building, built on the Great Wall on the top of the hill on the south side of Qingshan Pass, the second building is built across the city wall, and is composed of upper, middle, lower and three parts.

The lower part is the base, made of large strips of stone, and the height is the same as that of the city wall.

The middle layer is a hollow part, which is not only a place for garrisons, but also for defensive purposes.

A brick staircase on the west side of the building that is only accessible to one person leads to the top of the building, which is the upper floor.

In the center of the upper floor, there is a roof building, and there is a roof building on the top of the oar, surrounded by battlements, for soldiers to sentry, to look out for the enemy, to shelter from the wind and rain.

Because the windows, doors, ladders, lookout holes, structural walls and closets in the building, and the sentry room on the roof of the building, there are a total of 72 rolling arches, so it is named.

This building was built when Qi Jiguang served as the chief military officer of Jizhou Town and guarded the northern frontier.

When Qi Jiguang was guarding the northern frontier, this enemy tower stood on the Great Wall, firmly protecting the safety of the border defense, and no one let any enemy cross the enemy tower for half a step.

But decades have passed, and Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, and other famous ministers and generals have passed away for many years.

That brilliant era has come to an end, and the Ming Empire, which once dominated the world and dominated the world, is now also in the twilight.

Internal and external troubles, natural disasters and turmoil, the long night is coming......

Even the entire civilization of China is declining.

Not to mention a small enemy tower......

This enemy building, which was originally intended to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, has now become a help for foreign enemies.

In the midst of the sound of eager footsteps, one after another reconnaissance and watching, Tang Ma quickly ascended the turret through the narrow staircase, bringing the information of the front line to Dolgon, who was standing at the battlement of the turret and observing the battle situation.

"The drums in the camp of the Ming army did not stop, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion poured out of the camp one after another."

"The soldiers and horses of the battalions of the Ming army have been deployed on the eastern, western, and southern sides of Daqing Mountain, and they are responding to the flag! Judging by its formation, the total strength may exceed 100,000! ”

"The chief general of the Ming army, Sun Chuanting Daxu, appeared in the east of our department, and the detective reported that the Ming army was transporting artillery to the east, and the main direction of attack should be in the east!"

Dorgon stood at the battlement, looking at the whole situation condescendingly.

According to the reports of the scouts, as well as the information obtained in the field of vision, the troops from all over the place are constantly mobilized.

Dolgon's brows furrowed, and his gaze kept wandering in the large array of the Ming army in the distance.

The momentum of the Ming army this time is more than several times stronger than when it was in Wuqing and Dong'an before, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a rainbow.

For so many years, how could the Ming army have had such a momentum, that is, during the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army once had such a momentum.

Dolgon's expression was gloomy and uneasy.

I don't know why, he always has a bad premonition in his heart.

"It is rumored that Tan Tai and Duoduo will divide a part of the armor soldiers of the guard camp to fill in the outermost camp."

Dorgon sank, he didn't have a lot of options in front of him.

In the valley, there are still a large number of baggage and plundered people and livestock that have not left the customs.

These gains must not be given up easily, not only as an important asset to survive the years to come, but also as a capital that can help him stabilize his position.

In any case, he must be safely escorted out of customs in exchange for what he wants.

"Wait until the Ming army arrives, and in one go, crush its vanguard first, thinking that it is a deterrent!"

Dolgon's eyes were cold, the killing intent lingering in his body, and his voice was cold, like the cold north wind on a winter day.

Dolgon's order was given, and the heralds standing on top of the tower responded with a bang, and then quickly marched towards the lower floors of the enemy tower.

And it was in this blink of an eye, in the distance, at the foot of Daqing Mountain, that the war drums of the Ming army had been violently beaten at this moment, and the sound was several minutes louder than at the beginning.

The tsunami-like shouting and killing sound of the mountains rolled in, almost wanting to pierce the clouds and crack the stones!

In the next moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from downstairs.

Dolgon followed the sound and looked downstairs just in time to see a herald cavalry galloping from the other end of the wall on a warhorse.

The detective who gave the order held the order flag, all the way unimpeded, and finally came to the top of the building, and the first words he said made the atmosphere on the top of the building almost stop for a moment.

"The Ming army is huge, and the whole division is pressing!"

……

On the Taiping Village, the sand table of the lookout.

Sun Chuanting faced Daqing Mountain, holding a whip in his hand, straddled a pure white horse, and was surrounded by a group of armored horsemen standing on the high slope of the East Mountain.

The scenes of the battlefield were all visible in Sun Chuanting's field of vision.

The commander of the Qing army is Dolgon, and Sun Chuanting knows very well that Dolgon is not a mediocre general.

Dolgon came out of the corpse mountain and sea of blood all the way, and his ability to lead troops to fight can be ranked among the entire Jiannu.

The role of Gongshutai was ignored by Dorgon at first, but it was only a hindrance.

If he storms Gongshutai, it may not be long before Dorgon can figure out the trick and send troops to occupy Gongshutai.

Without Gongshutai in hand, when the time comes, there will be no way to face the Qing army companies and camps all over the mountains.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting's military order was to attack from the east, west, and south at the same time, and do his best to attract the attention of Jiannu, and at the same time put the direction of the main attack in the east where he was located.

To this end, he gathered a large number of artillery in the army to the east, in order to keep the Qing army's attention on the east and conceal its true strategic intentions.

"Report to the superintendent, the flag is completed, the battalions of all towns are out of battle, and our forward has entered the battlefield and is attacking the mountain on his back!"

The deputy general in charge of the delivery of military orders galloped all the way from the bottom of the mountain and reported the battle situation ahead to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting held the reins with both hands, pressed the horsewhip and the reins together, his gaze crossed the head of the adjutant general who came to report the military situation, and slowly glanced over the majestic green mountains not far away.

To the south, the forward troops under Chen Xinjia had already entered the mountain road and began to attack the Qing army's outlying camps.

The Qing army had already prepared, fierce battles were being fought everywhere, countless flags were waving everywhere, and the soldiers of the Qing army were slapping towards the camp of the Qing army in waves, like a wave of layers.

And the troops under his command have already arrived in the east, and the vanguard troops are already starting to attack the fortress along the mountain road.

The artillery positions had been erected, and the rumbling sound of artillery echoed from the distant hills.

The huge shouts of killing were deafening and soared into the sky.

Sun Chuanting retracted his gaze, looked down at the deputy general who came to report, and said in a stern tone.

"The Daqingshan Mountain is low, and when I look at it, I can see that there are many slopes that can be climbed up."

"Order the towns, look for slopes, climb up from all sides, and fire from all sides, than to attack only from the mountain road!"

The old camp of the Qing army is all over the mountains, the mountain roads are long and narrow, and the Jiannu have already dealt with it, and it is indeed difficult to make contributions to the strong attack.

Not long ago, Chen Xinjia had already tried to storm the barracks in various places, and Tang Bao and Sun Chuanting had already understood the situation.

Only attacking from the mountain road is afraid that it will pay a huge price, and it will not be able to break through a few camps, and it will not even give much pressure to the Qing army.

The eastern side must be the first to make a breakthrough in order to attract the attention of the Qing army and achieve the strategic goal of concealing the real main attack in the south.

"Then send the order to Cao Bianjiao."

Sun Chuanting's expression was gloomy, he clenched his teeth and said coldly.

"At all costs, I must capture the two slave camps on the outskirts of Dongshan before sunset."

"Remember, what I said was, 'Do whatever it takes!' ”

"After this battle, how much armor he lost, how many weapons he folded, and how many soldiers he died in battle, I will give him double everything!"

The real main attack in the south was pinned on the Hanzhong army led by Chen Wang by Sun Chuanting.

But the main attack from the east as a cover is equally important, and the two are indispensable.

Among the towns, only Cao Bianjiao can do it.

There is no shortage of soldiers in the towns and battalions on the Dongshan front, but among the towns, the bravest is Cao Bianjiao.

The real key to the battle of Qingshan Pass was actually in the hands of Chen Wang and Cao Bianjiao.

Sun Chuanting clenched the horsewhip, and his stern voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"The drums do not stop, the offensive does not slow down, and those who flee and retreat without an order, regardless of their official rank, will be immediately killed!"

"Spread the sword of Shang Fang in the three armies, raise my flag in front of the battle, and tell all towns, those who dare not obey will be punished for rebellion!"

Sun Chuanting's eyes were calm, and the palpitating killing intent flowed in his eyes.

"The people are suffering, the country is ashamed, and it is today to serve the country loyally!"

"If this battle is lost, the three armies will be guilty of the same crime, and the punishment will start from the Governor!"

"This battle is won, the three armies Qi Jia, up to the battalion generals, down to the soldiers, the governor himself went to the front of the palace to ask for merit for the towns!"

"Obey the orders of the Governor!!"

The four generals all bowed their heads and responded in unison.

A large number of heralds galloped out of the formation, galloping towards the other two.

The military order was conveyed, and the momentum of the Ming army on three sides was high.

Chen Guowei has learned from the past, Shang Fangjian is behind, and Sun Chuanting's determination has been understood by everyone.

For several months, the governor of Sun Chuanting has been serving the kings and horses in various towns, rewarding those who have made meritorious deeds, and punishing those who have done wrong, never acting with partiality, with clear rewards and punishments, and majestic degrees.

The soldiers and horses of each town have received sufficient military salaries and full meals in the past two months.

Every word Sun Chuanting said before was honored.

What really made the battalions in each town blood boil was Sun Chuanting's last sentence.

If this battle is won, Sun Chuanting will personally go to the front of the palace and ask for credit for them in front of the Son of Heaven!

From the battalion generals to the soldiers, as long as the famous ones are famous, they can go straight to Tianyan!!

"Sun Junmen's grace is like this, how can we be cowardly and weaken the reputation of the army?!"

The troops in the front will be infected by the military orders of Sun Chuanting's words, and they will all give birth to a bloody courage and lead the troops forward.

"Mighty!"

Everywhere the flag passed, there was a mighty sound.

At the foot of Daqing Mountain, the shouting of killing shook the sky for a while.

Not only the generals of Shaanxi and Xuanda moved forward bravely, but even the originally weak soldiers of Jizhou were also infected by the momentum.

The emotions they had suppressed for a long time were also released at this moment.

Chen Guowei, as the chief soldier of the Santun Battalion in Jizhou, fled without a fight, making the generals of Jizhou Town lose face.

Jizhou Town is indeed rotten to the bones, but people always have a sense of shame, and the people of this era have a deep sense of belonging to the countryside.

As the town soldiers of Jizhou, they can't stop the enemy outside the Great Wall, causing the enemy army to ravage the countryside, and they don't know how many villagers and elders have been pointing at the backbone and insulting them.

Over the years, the governor of Jizhou does not know how many terms have changed, but in any case, Jiannu pressed them to fight.

And now, for the first time, there is a governor who leads them to press Jiannu to fight.

Jiannu really didn't fight them, he dodged all the way, and just attacked and harassed them everywhere.

The battalion soldiers in Jizhou Town finally mustered up their morale, and the generals above and below roared forward.

At the foot of the mountain to the west, Zu Dashou also received a military order from Sun Chuanting, and saw Shang Fang's sword and banner that were sweeping past the military formations of various towns.

"Boss, what should we do in this battle?"

On Zu Dashou's side, all the Guan Ning generals were looking at him, waiting for his military order.

The Liaodong family has its own faction, and the generals and schools of the Guanning line are very clear about their situation.

I was confused, and I couldn't survive in Liaodong at all.

Zu Dashou stared at the Daqing Mountain Range not far away, his expression was as usual, and his eyes were unwavering.

"The defeat of Linqing, the imperial court has been dissatisfied."

"In this battle, I will save my reputation for Guan Ning."

Zu Dashou looked up at the mountain, a chill suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he shouted coldly.

"Beat the marching drum, blow the trombone......"

"Attack the village!"

At the foot of the West Mountain, the soldiers of the two towns of Guanning finally showed their long-hidden edge at this moment.

The battalion commanders of each battalion were in front, and a large number of elite armor soldiers surged towards the front with the continuous sound of drums and trumpets.

The sudden rise in morale and bravery of the Ming army, as well as the use of tactics of climbing and climbing mountains to attack the village, completely disrupted the deployment of the Qing army.

A large number of Ming troops climbed up from the mountains on all sides and attacked from all sides.

In close combat, for the first time, the soldiers of the Ming army did not fall too far behind.

The Ming army attacking the mountain went forward one after another, and the continuous casualties did not frighten them, and the death of Pao Ze aroused the anger of the Ming army attacking the mountain, making the offensive more fierce.

The Qing army was unable to cover it for a while, and the training was defeated and retreated, and the battle began only a quarter of an hour later, and the defense line was shaken.

The Qing army was difficult to care about, so it could only disperse its troops and horses and respond to the enemy separately.

A large number of Qing army armor soldiers poured out from the two main villages in the east and west mountains, and rushed to the outer camps.

On the Dongshan platform, several local officials who followed Sun Chuanting to watch the battle were all moved and said with emotion.

"Such a momentum is really rare, if the Nine-Sided Army would have been able to do so? How dare the enemy go so deep and unscrupulous! ”
