The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 784 Crushed Combat Power

At the western foot of Songshan Mountain, under a big golden dragon banner fluttering in the wind, Hauge vigorously pointed forward with his horsewhip, and said loudly: "Order, Aobai will lead the forwards with two yellow flags to directly attack the enemy camp!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Oboi immediately urged his horse to go forward, clasping his hands in response.There are more than 6000 soldiers and horses in the forward battalion, and it must be easy to break through the Ming army camp with only a thousand people.

"Wakda led Xianglan Banner, Ma Guangyuan, and Liu Liangchen's Han army with a total of 1 troops to attack Rufeng Mountain!"

There is also a bastion on Rufeng Mountain, but the Ming army had previously dispatched five heavy artillery with extremely long ranges, and firing cannons at the foot of the mountain could reach the bastion.

After more than half a month of continuous shelling, most of the outer wall of the bastion had been destroyed, and most of the inner walls were damaged.Haug guessed that there should be Ming troops guarding it, so he sent [-] troops to attack to make sure nothing would go wrong.

"Whoo!"

"The end will obey orders!"

Haug said again: "Shuozhan and Cai Shiying's troops plus two thousand green camps surround the fortress on the short hill on the east side. After conquering the barbarian camp, we can gather troops to take it."

There is only a small bastion on the short hill opposite Rufeng Mountain, but it is still intact. Hauge calculates that the main force of the Ming army is at least two days away from here, so there is no need to worry.

After all the captives left with their own troops, Hauge personally led the rest of the ten thousand troops as the central army, forming an formation on the southeast side of Rufeng Mountain, ready to respond at any time.

Wakda arrived at the foot of the nearest Rufeng Mountain first, looked up at the dilapidated bastion, couldn't help snorting, and immediately ordered all his soldiers to dismount and walk, fanning around the mountainside.

He was very familiar with the bastion, and it could hold more than a thousand people at most. Even if the Ming army added cannons to it, they would not be able to withstand the siege of ten times their own troops.

When his [-]-strong army abandoned their horses in a panic and was organizing their formation, they suddenly heard a series of loud noises on Rufeng Mountain, like rolling thunder falling on the mountain.

Is it a cannon?Although the Qing army was taken aback by conditioned reflex, they quickly recovered their composure—they were still in the open space below the mountain, four miles away from the fortress, and it was difficult for the artillery to shoot here anyway.

There were also officers who yelled at and restrained their subordinates, "Why are you standing still, hurry up, I want to be whipped..."

Suddenly an astonishing muffled bang interrupted him, and the man seemed to disappear out of thin air, and then a large amount of blood and minced meat shot out, splashing all over the faces of the surrounding captive soldiers.

Then there was a dark thing rushing towards the crowd of the Qing army with an unstoppable momentum, and there were heart-piercing screams along the way, no matter people or horses, anyone who stood in the way was instantly smashed into mud !
Immediately afterwards, another heavy object fell nearby one after another, and the huge impact made the ground tremble violently. The soldiers of the Qing army felt their feet go numb for a while, and five straight bloodstains were immediately plowed out in the formation.

At this point, the first thing that flew over was finally blocked by a big tree surrounded by five or six people after rolling forty feet away.

Wakda turned his head to look, and his heart shrank suddenly, it was a scary big shell!Did the Ming army leave that kind of heavy artillery on Rufeng Mountain? !
He looked through the binoculars, and he saw black smoke rising from the bastion on the mountainside, and those heavy cannons could shoot up to three miles from the bottom of the mountain.

Although the shelling may not cause many casualties, it is extremely damaging to morale.He didn't dare to delay any longer, and he didn't care about the chaotic formation, so he hurriedly waved his knife and ordered to attack the mountain immediately, only hoping to take down those cannons as soon as possible.

In an instant, nearly ten thousand Qing troops, each with their own weapons, swarmed towards Rufeng Mountain like a colony of ants.

Hauge was also taken aback by the thundering cannons on Rufeng Mountain, and immediately sent someone to investigate.

The man returned after a while, saying that the cannons that the Ming army had bombarded the fortress had left on the mountain and were shooting down the mountain.Before he finished speaking, there was another rumbling noise.

Hauge frowned impatiently, and waved his hand: "Send Wakda to quickly clean up these noisy things..."

Halfway through the talk, he felt something was wrong, the sound of the guns seemed to be coming from a different direction than the previous ones!
He was squinting his eyes and looking around, when suddenly a fast horse roared towards him, and the man on the horse was still far away, so he panicked and shouted: "Report! The rear army encountered a surprise attack by the southern army!"

Hauge was taken aback for a moment, and when the informer approached, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on? How many barbarians are here?"

"Back to the prison country, there should be more than [-] people! Mr. Gan is out of support, please send troops to the prison country to reinforce!"

The rear team led by Gan Yingxiang only had one thousand Zhenglan Banner Han troops and two thousand Green Battalions, so they would certainly not be able to stop the tens of thousands of Ming troops.Hauge couldn't help but looked at Fan Wencheng beside him, "Where did these barbarians come from?"

"Or, maybe the southerners in Jinzhou City followed..." Before Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he had a bad premonition in his heart. Why are there so many Ming troops in Jinzhou City?Do they...

He hastily suppressed his other thoughts, and cupped his hands to Haoge: "The enemy is no more than ten thousand, so there is nothing to worry about. Please send the military order to Master Batulu immediately, and then Jian Guo will lead the Chinese army to fight with him. He joined together and turned back to defend against the enemy.

"Just wait for the southern army to catch up, and then let Master Wakda's troops rush down from Rufeng Mountain to attack the enemy's flank. The enemy will be defeated!"

Hauge immediately glared at Ba Yala, the guard next to him, "Are you deaf? Hurry up and catch up with the front army and get them ready to fight!"

"Whoo!"

"Go and tell Wakda that Rufeng Mountain must be captured within half an hour, otherwise, come and see me! After destroying the cannons on the mountain, immediately attack the barbarian army at the foot of the mountain!"

"Whoo!"

The sound of cannons behind him became more and more intense, and the screams of Gan Yingxiang's rear army were getting closer and closer. Hauge pulled the reins with a sullen face, and said in a deep voice: "Order the Chinese army to drop all the supplies and join the front army .”

……

Northeast of Matsuyama.

The messenger of the Ming army saw two blue and three green flares rising into the sky in the distance, and hurriedly turned to report to Zhu Linming, "Your Majesty, General Huang has defeated the rear army of the captives. The enemy army is still about three miles away from me."

Zhu Linmei nodded slightly, "Understood, we will still attack according to the plan."

"Yes!"

Zhang Jiayu on the side said: "Your Majesty really expected the enemy to take the initiative and used troops like a god! The captives really pretended to rescue Shenyang, but they laid down heavy troops to attack Songjin!"

Zhu Linmei smiled and waved her hands, "I just thought it was too easy for Haoge to abandon the Songjin defense line, and the lineup of thieves who went to reinforce Shenyang was too neat, and I didn't see panic, so I suspected that they might be cheating. But I didn't expect it When they arrive at Jianlu, they will shoot back with their carbine."

He glanced to the north, "I even once thought that it was more likely that the main force of Jianlu would go to rescue Shenyang, so I sent Chuangzhi to lead the army northward."

Hearing the words, Mu Yun leaned forward, and couldn't hide his doubts: "If that's the case, why does Your Majesty keep fifteen thousand troops in Jinzhou?"

Zhu Linmei smiled and said: "Because I am sure that General Yu's 4000 field army, together with Qin Yiming's [-] troops, is enough to defeat the main force of Jianlu!

"That being the case, why should I put all my eggs in one basket?"

He compared it to Rufeng Mountain, "Look, isn't it just for me to catch it?

"With my Daming Field Army's combat power far superior to that of the captives, let him use a thousand tricks, and I will only punch with the force of thunder!"
