At the same time that Hong Chengchou led the main force of the 210,000 Ming army to the north of Songshan, Rufeng Mountain was also waving flags, and the banner owners and slave chieftains of the Qing army also rushed here to gather.

The name of Rufeng Mountain originates from the legend of Nuwa Mending the Sky, when the old slave Nurhachi fled to a boulder on the top of Rufeng Mountain, and fell asleep with sleepiness, and this boulder is rumored to be a spiritual stone left by Nuwa Mending the Sky.

Therefore, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, this boulder was named the Hanwang Palace, and Rufeng Mountain became the Hanwang Palace. is a famous historical and cultural mountain, stunned because the old slave slept and was defiled alive.

Rufeng Mountain is composed of countless large and small hills and mountains, facing Jinzhou side most of the terrain is gentle, facing the Songshan side, it is the undulating mountain range, the hills are continuous, but fast to the main peak, the mountain is slightly steep, and there are many barren grass and rocks in front of the ridge, only the elite infantry can be used, and the cavalry and chariots can not go up.

At this time, on the ridge of hundreds of meters on the east side of Rufeng Mountain, three steep boulders stood at the place where Nuwa mended the sky, like Optimus Prime.

Next to the boulder, a tall Huanglong umbrella is held high, under the big umbrella, Huang Taiji drives a very fat body to stand on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, and then with Huang Taiji's dark, bearded face, it is really like a wild boar skin, vivid and vivid.

Next to the Huanglong umbrella, a group of Manchu nobles, Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banner Banners, Gushan Ezhen, and the prince of Baylor stood respectfully, everyone was already sweating under the scorching sun, and their clothes were all soaked, but at this time everyone was motionless, just like Huang Taiji, looking down at the top of the mountain.

And along the ridge, there are Manchu elite Bayala camp Tartar soldiers and Gebush Xian Tartar soldiers, these elite soldiers are all wearing three layers of heavy armor, even under the scorching sun, they are motionless, like iron armor sculptures, together with the surrounding hunting flags, adding a bit of killing to Rufeng Mountain.

Huang Taiji looked at the mountain for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Hong Chengchou, Liu Yan and other Ming army units, have they marched from the direction of Xingshan?" ”

The Blue Banner Lord Jierharang hurriedly came out of the ranks, came to Huang Taiji and knelt down, and replied: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou's various departments have set off. According to the report of the sentinel cavalry, the Ming soldiers were extremely powerful, and more than 200,000 troops were infancied, cavalry, and artillery, and those who came were not good! ”

Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the main force of the Ming army finally came, and all preparations were made for this day, as long as Hong Chengchou's troops were defeated, the Ming Kingdom would be a lamb to be slaughtered, and the Qing Dynasty would eventually be invincible in the world!

Because of the old slaves, the Manchu Qing Dynasty regarded Rufeng Mountain as a sacred mountain and the three stones as a sacred stone. At this time, Huang Taiji looked at the boulder, and he didn't know whether to pray for the protection of the "Divine Mountain" or for the protection of the ancestral spirit, and everyone also looked at the Divine Stone and was silent.

After a long time, Huang Taiji said indifferently: "Go back to the mountain city and discuss the strategy of facing the battle." ”

"Huh!"

Then, in the noisy drum music, Huang Taiji's Luan drove slowly and began to move slowly, along the gentle ridge and ridge, towards the east of Rufeng Mountain. A group of generals, banner owners, and nobles also followed, and the mountain city that was made was a Ming army fortress a few miles away from the east side of the main peak of Rufeng Mountain, which had been abandoned at this time and was occupied by the Qing army, as the temporary "palace" of Huang Taiji. 33

The abandoned fortress was a stone hill city, built on the slopes of the mountains, flat inside the city and many cliffs outside the city. Standing in the mountain city, Jinzhou can be seen in the north, Songshan can be seen in the south, and the fortresses and piers in Songshan, Xingshan and other places can be seen as far as the eye can see.

Rufeng Mountain is the barrier of Jinzhou City, and the mountain city is the barrier of Rufeng Mountain, and the geographical advantage is extremely important. However, the city had a flaw, if the army attacked from the north of Rufeng Mountain. The fortress is difficult to defend, and the Qing army has besieged Jinzhou City for a long time, and the mountain city has long been occupied by the Qing army, and it is used as a key place for them.

Two days ago, when Huang Taiji led the elite reinforcements to arrive here, he ordered to arrest the surrounding people to come over for construction, transform all parts of Rufeng Mountain, and also learn from Liu Yan, and began to build various fortifications on and off the mountain.

Originally, there were few trees and many barren grasses in the area of Rufeng Mountain, and at this time, all those trees or wild grasses have been cut down or uprooted and burned. This move is to enhance the vision of the defenders on the mountain, which is conducive to the defense of the army, and the second is also to prevent the Ming army from setting fire to the mountain.

The Ming army on the nine sides has the tradition of burning the wasteland every year, and vigorously sets fire to the grassland every time. If the grass on the mountain is not removed, they set fire before attacking the mountain, and the day is dry, and the Qing army on the mountain will all become roast chickens......

In addition, the Qing army also drove the captured people to dig countless shallow ditches, deep ditches, and trenches in the south of Rufeng Mountain, along the mountains and hills, and around the main peak, and built countless earthen and stone walls. These earthen walls and ditches are distributed in steep and gentle places at each ridge, and they are generally two ditches and three walls.

It is two trenches in front of a wall, each less than two hundred paces away, so that they can support each other. Many stone walls and earth walls are made of local materials, and various walls are built with stones and clay, and some stone walls even spread for more than ten miles.

Under the painstaking management of the Qing army, the entire Rufeng Mountain has become a war fortress. As far as the eye can see, the flags are all over the mountain, Diao Dou is passing on the habit, and people are called horses neighing. Dense tents, stockades, seem to cover the entire mountain range.

After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time was still in the rising period, and it had not yet reached the point of self-contained, ignorant and stubborn, and it was still very effective to learn Liu Yan's advanced methods.

The main force of the Qing army occupies Rufeng Mountain, so it occupies a favorable location, according to Xiongshan Mountain in the north, and overlooks the hills of the Sichuan Plains in the south, like an ancient giant beast looking down coldly.

If the reinforcements of the Ming army led by Hong Chengchou wanted to enter the important place of Jinzhou, it was impossible not to capture Rufeng Mountain. Once the Ming army attacked Rufeng Mountain, it was afraid that it would hit its head and bleed, and suffered heavy casualties, just like the Qing army in Julu and Jinan.

Huang Taiji and a group of courtiers walked towards the mountain city, and on the way, Huang Taiji's gaze swept all over the mountain.

The south of Rufeng Mountain is the fortress place, and the north side of the ridge is a gentle place where the troops are stationed. In particular, Shahegou and other places, all the way to the Daughter River, to the confluence of the Daughter River and the Xiaoling River, it is a continuous Qing army barracks, which shows the prosperity of the Qing army in this battle.

Then Huang Taiji led people up the mountain, stood on the mountain and looked to the northeast, where there were Shimen Mountain, Shijialing and other mountains.

To the east of those mountains, the Xiaoling River meanders out, and on the north bank of the Xiaoling River, there are the mountains of Bauhinia Mountain and Mopan Mountain, where Qing soldiers and horses were also stationed to prevent the Ming army from attacking important places such as Dalinghe Fort.

Soon, Huang Taiji and a group came to the mountain city, here is not very big, about 200 steps long from east to west, about 170 steps wide from north to south, the city walls are all built with stones, the city has only one city gate at the east gate, the dragon flag of more than ten zhang high at the head of the city is big, it is hunting in the wind in the city.

Because the mountain city is the camp of Huang Taiji, the city has been newly decorated. In particular, the garrison hall in the original city, as the place where the slave chieftain Taiji stayed, the room was replaced with Huanghuali tables and chairs, the floor was covered with a thick fine wool carpet, and the four walls were also hung with colorful tapestries that symbolized the totems of the Manchurians, which looked magnificent.

After Huang Taiji entered the palace, he sat high on a wide chair inlaid with precious stones and gold, his eyes sharp, and he looked down on the Manchu ministers on both sides below.

In this war, except for a few Bakshi such as Sony who stayed in Shengjing, the remaining ministers of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han banners all went out with Huang Taiji, and it can be said that Huang Taiji has bet all the chips of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the gambling table, and success or failure is in one fell swoop!

Seeing that the emperor's expression was serious, everyone stood in line according to the identities of Manchu, Mongolian, and Han.

Although at this time, Huang Taiji preached the unity of Manchu and Han and the Manchu and Mongolian families, but in fact, even the status of each flag in the Manchurian Eight Banners was different, not to mention the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

At this time, the eight flags are arranged in the order of yellow, yellow, white, blue, white, red, red, and blue, and the owners of each flag are also in line.

As for the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, before the establishment of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, they were the subjects of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and to put it bluntly, they were just slaves.

After the Qing army suffered a loss at the hands of Liu Yan, Huang Taiji paid more attention to the separation of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han from Manchuria, as well as the subsequent rectification, hoping to increase the strength and strength of the Qing army.

However, even so, the subordination of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Meng, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and the Zhangjing of Mele to the original Eight Banners of Manchuria, the prince, the prince of the county, and the Baylor was still preserved intact, and there was no slight change because of this.

At this time, in the house, a total of 24 banner owners of Manchu, Mongolia, and Han Dynasty, and Gushan Ezhen all arrived.

On this side of the full eight banners, the main yellow flag, the solid mountain is really Ashan, the yellow flag is inlaid with the main flag, the solid mountain is really worshipped, the white flag is the main one, the solid mountain is really Dolgon, the blue flag is inlaid with the main flag, the solid mountain is really Jierharang, the red flag is inlaid with the main flag, the solid mountain is really Dudu, the white flag is inlaid with the main flag, the solid mountain is really Duoduo, the main blue flag is the main one, and the solid mountain is really Haoge sit in turn.

In addition, the owner of the Red Banner of the Red Banner, Gushan Ezhen has changed back to Dai Shan, after Huang Taiji's beating, Dai Shan has been very humble at this time, plus Yue Tuo after withdrawing from the Guannei back to Liaodong, he fell ill and died, so Dai Shan's threat to Huang Taiji has also been reduced a lot, and he is back in charge of Manchu Zheng Red Flag.

And Rao Yu Belle Abatai, who is in charge of the three cattle records with the blue flag in Manzhou, and Azig, who is in charge of the fifteen cattle records with the white flag, are also listed.

On the side of Mengbaqi, Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Adai, Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Dalai, Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Engetu, Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Buyan Dai, Zhengbai Flag Gushan Ezhen Yibai, Inlaid White Flag Gushan Ezhen Suna, Zhenglan Flag Gushan Ezhen Wu Lai, and Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Hu Shibu sat down in turn.

On the side of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Flag Gushan is really Geng Zhongming, the Yellow Flag is really Ma Guangyuan, the Red Flag is really Kong Youde, the Blue Flag is really Shang Keg, the White Flag is really Shi Tingzhu, the Red Flag is really Liu Zhiyuan, the Blue Flag is really Zu Zerun, and the White Flag is really Wu Shoujin is sitting respectfully on the seat, and the atmosphere is not daring to breathe.

At this time, the banners of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, only Gushan Ezhen did not have a banner owner, and their master was the banner owner of the Manchurian banner. Moreover, of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, only Adai, Engetu, Buyandai, and Dalai are Mongolians, and the rest are all Manchurians.

Because of the appearance of Liu Yan, the Eight Banners Han Army was established much earlier than in history, and the specific traitors are not the same as in history.

In addition, there are also the princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Baylor, and the ministers of the court.

For example, the auxiliary generals Gong Adai, Xihan, etc., and Zhang Cunren, Zu Kefa, Duan Xuekong, and Sheng Zhong participated in the politics of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

There are also foreign Mongolian tribes, such as the Tumut Right Banner Gushan Ezhen Omu Buchuhuer, the Tumut Left Banner Gushan Ezhen Shanba, the Inner and Outer Karaqin, Chahar, Horqin Left and Right Wing Central Banner, Ao Han, Alu Banner Wang Ye Beile.

There were even soldiers and horses from various banners or tribes of the Mongol tribes of Waizazak to help in the war, and even the Korean State also sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to flatter the new master, making the battle of Jinzhou of the Manchu Qing Dynasty extremely powerful, and the number of troops in the battle was far more than the battle of Songjin in history, and the proportion of firearms in the army was also higher.

Some people died, but not completely......
