Chapter 470 The Battle of Rufeng Mountain Begins

The wind is cool and blows across the endless Hexi Corridor. To the east is the front line of Rufeng Mountain, where the Ming and Qing armies are facing each other. This strange mountain is a battlefield like a meat grinder between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Countless banners are waving continuously , Forming a sea of ​​flags, on the hillside is the camp of the Qing army, with cannons and guns protruding from the wall of the village.

On the plains on both sides, there are a group of friendly Mongolian cavalry. They are armed with short bows and scimitars. They are wandering out of the range of the Ming army's artillery and muskets. They are wandering in this empty wilderness. The Ming army is fighting, and there are rows of shield vehicles. , artillery pieces gathered together, and a group of generals stood on top of a tall lookout car. Hong Chengchou looked at the Mongolian cavalry wandering around and shook his head bitterly.

The generals standing on the side looked at the wandering cavalry with resentment on their faces. Cao Bianjiao's face was full of anger and said, "Damn it, these Mongolians, we can't even release our liquid if we don't absorb it." The Ming army had sharp weapons, but the whistle What the comparison is about is the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. The opponent is a nomadic people. If you exchange five sentinels for one of you, the Ming army will not be able to take the losses at night.

Xiao Chuan shook his head. These Mongolians are really like brown sugar. They are wandering here. I am afraid that what they want is the food and grass of the Ming army that is ready to attack Bijia Mountain at any time. , and then take down Tashan, Xingshan." This time, he has taken every step of the way, but it is much better than Wu Sangui's shrinking into the city.Take down Xingshan and Songshan, and then step by step to rescue Jinzhou City.

"Don't go to so much trouble. When the time comes, let General Zu fight outside, and we fight inward. Just cooperate with the inside and the outside." Cao Bianjiao immediately smiled and Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "No, no, how can this be done? The Qing army is not weaker than us in field battles. With It is risky for them to fight in the field. This battle is for the elite of the Ming Dynasty. If they lose, what will happen in the future!"

Cao Bianjiao shook his head, thinking that this guy is really respectful and cautious. All the generals behind him shook their heads, and some of them had already muttered in a low voice, saying something unpleasant. It is not easy to defeat the army, and the group of Mongols around them are like ghosts."

"Oh, what's the matter? You send troops to fight, and they run away. When your soldiers return, they come back again." Hong Chengchou shook his head. After all, the Ming army still lacked cavalry, but the Mongolian cavalry like brown sugar was impressive. It's an unsolvable feeling that you are stronger than him, but the opponent doesn't fight you at all, no matter how strong you are, it's useless.

Looking at the Qing Army's Eight Banners artillery on the Rufeng Mountain, Hong Chengchou said with a serious face, "Rufeng Mountain, who is willing to attack in this battle?" The generals of the Liaodong Army all lowered their heads. They had already seen the unusual firearms of the Qing Army before. Strength, no one wants to be the first bird, but the prince clasped his fists and said, "In this battle, I will be the striker and take down Rufeng Mountain."

Xiaochuan, who just wanted to step forward to ask for a fight, pulled Cao Bianjiao and others aside. However, just to see how strong the prince was now, Cao Bianjiao wanted to ask for a fight, but Xiaochuan held him back.

The crown prince looked at Xu Wenjue and the others, and said, "General Xu, the artillery of your Shenji Battalion is sharp, can you help my Jiangnan Army?"

Xu Wenjue clasped his fists and said, "No, the Qing army and the mountain, but my Shenji Battalion can only fire some smoke bombs and the like, which may not be of great help to Your Highness."

"Don't worry about this battle. According to the Qing army's usual tactic of besieging and attacking reinforcements, Rufeng Mountain is just the beginning, and Songshan and Xingshan are the real battlefields." Hong Chengchou's eyes were full of dignity.

"General, I think Beacon Mountain is where our army should pay attention," Ogawa said. The turning point in the Songshan War in history was the attack on Beacon Mountain's grain and grass supplies.

"General Qin is too worried. How could the Qing army specialize in attacking grain and grass? It's too risky, and there are [-] elite generals in Qin." Hong Chengchou smiled, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, obviously He doesn't want others to criticize his arrangement.

Xiao Chuan stared blankly at the Mongolian cavalry wandering outside.

********************
On the hillside is the strong camp of the Qing army. The newly recovered Han Eight Banners are mainly composed of four thousand Korean troops stationed here. There are a pair of bird guns and cannons on it. The general on it is a Korean People, the Qing Dynasty first established the righteousness of monarchs and ministers with North Korea, and then formed an alliance of brothers. Although the King of North Korea was not willing to be a subsidiary of the Qing Dynasty, he could only become a subject due to the huge disparity in strength. During this period, there will inevitably be a group of staunch supporters of the Qing Dynasty, or they are called Chaojian.This Jin Dazhu was originally a rogue from North Korea who became the leader of the party, and successfully became the leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

He had two beards, and triumphantly yelled and cursed at the North Korean gunners, saying, "Hurry up, reload the gunpowder quickly, you idiots." The group of gunners cursed inwardly, but there was nothing they could do about him.

Jin Dazhu looked at the Ming army in the audience. In addition to the four thousand Koreans, there were also two thousand soldiers with blue flags. However, most of the Baya soldiers had been transferred away, but the Qing generals participated in the battle. During the invasion of Japan, the ferocious-looking Qing soldier Gu Shanfuzhen revealed a kind of fear on his face, saying, "If you encounter a bulging Ming army in a while, you musketeers must hit this Ming army first. We must give priority to attacking these Ming troops."

Jin Dazhu was surprised and said, "The bulging Ming army, this? I don't understand what you mean." When did this usually ferocious Qing army general speak so kindly?
"What nonsense, just do it if you don't want to die," the one-eyed Qing army said, full of anger.

Jin Dazhu was surprised, but when he looked down, he saw the flag of the Ming army attacking the mountain, which seemed to be yellow?Could it be the prince's army? In his opinion, the prince should be the strongest. He became nervous, but the general of the Qing army next to him felt relieved and said, "Okay, okay, Jiangnan army! Those fragile southerners, Now it’s another easy day!”

"General? This can be the army of the prince of the Ming Dynasty?" Jin Dazhu was puzzled. Shouldn't the most elite troops of a country be in the hands of the royal family?Why did this group of generals of the Qing army seem to see the Prince's army with expressions of disdain on their faces of relief.

"You'll know later on." The one-eyed Qing army Gu Shanezhen snorted, "Do you know why I have one eye? It's all because of the defeated Qingzhou army!" Jin Dazhu gave the one-eyed Qing army a strange look.

There is a sound of beating and beating at the bottom of the mountain. It is difficult for direct-firing artillery to hit the target on the mountain. You can only use curved-firing artillery such as the tiger crouching cannon. Where a group of generals of the Shenji Battalion are beating and beating. , it is difficult to adjust the angle after fixing.

A group of gunners from the Shenji Battalion took out a ruler and other things to measure and aim, otherwise if the angle was wrong later, it would be very troublesome to readjust.The other ones are things like smoke bombs or gas bombs.
