Chapter 805 Paradise, or Absurdity?
The Ming army who attacked the West Shimen Mountain Road was smashed to pieces by stones and gravel, and they all ran away in panic.

Behind the stone wall, Zhengbai Qijia Lazhangjing Yierza laughed, and said triumphantly, "These Nikans are really vulnerable!"

"boom!"

Just as Yirza was looking at the fleeing Ming army with an indomitable expression on his face, an iron cannon flew from the mountain to the west and hit the top of the stone wall with a huge impact. The big boulders were smashed to pieces.

Among the raised stone powder, the iron cannon flew again, and the angle was so coincidental that it was flying towards Zhengbai Banner Jia Lazhangjing Yierza.

As expected of a warrior who has experienced many battles on the battlefield, Ilza is also extremely agile. Only when he saw the dust rising from the stone wall, he subconsciously leaped backwards.

At the same time, he habitually raised the shield in his hand to protect the front door. The iron cannon just brushed past the edge of his shield, and flew obliquely towards the Han army's two Tartars.

Although he didn't hit Ilza's shield head-on, the powerful force also made him lose his balance, and he fell to the ground on his back.

"Boom! Boom..."

However, at this time, as the explosions continued, two more iron cannons flew in. The Qing army's position was flying with stones and debris, and the ricochets formed by the cannons ran around. The Tartars also panicked immediately, and they fled everywhere, looking for corners to hide.

Irza had already stood up at this moment, he was standing in the middle holding a shield and hatchet, his face was livid, obviously very annoyed at the behavior of the Han soldiers.

I saw him raising the hatchet in his right hand and yelling angrily: "If you don't have anything, fight back quickly, fire quickly..."

As soon as he uttered the word "cannon", he saw a jet-black thing flying past suddenly, and a short ax fell to the ground with half of its stump attached.

Ilza's expression froze for an instant, and he raised his head in a daze to look up, only to see that a small piece of his upper right arm was still raised abruptly, but the front arm and hatchet were nowhere to be seen.

It took a while for him to realize that his arm had been broken by the cannon shot by the Ming army. He first sat down on the ground with a "plop", then suddenly jumped up screaming and screaming.

Yierza's eyes were red all over. He ignored his bleeding right arm and held his shield with his left hand alone, roaring loudly, trying to organize the Qing army and the Han army's two Tartars stationed there to launch a counterattack.

"boom!"

A piece of sharp gravel stirred up by the cannon was penetrating into Najia Lazhangjing Irza's mouth impartially, the slightly thicker tail was still outside the mouth, dripping bright red drops of blood along the corner of the mouth, The spiky head of Rubble had emerged from the back of his head.

Yierza's eyes were full of unwillingness. He was already a Jialazhangjing in his 20s, and he still had a bright future ahead. Didn't he enjoy the blessing yet?

Since he was 14 years old, he has followed King Khan to fight in all directions. He fought against various Mongolian ministries in the north, conquered North Korean officials in the south, and invaded and plundered the interior of Ming Dynasty. What kind of war has he never experienced?
Unexpectedly, today he was in this small Xishimen, his body and soul were destroyed, and half his life's struggle was in vain!

Bright red blood dripped from the corners of his eyes, mouth and nose, especially those eyes, which were so staring that they were about to fall out of them, which showed how unwilling he was.

At this moment, seeing that Irza died like this, all the Zhengbai Banner Tartars panicked in their hearts. Fortunately, the Qing army's military regulations were extremely strict, so they did not turn around and run away like the Ming army did.

Soon, two Niu Lu Zhang Jing who were still alive stood up and temporarily stabilized the situation here.

Jialazhang Jinghe of the Tianyou Army shouted loudly at this time to reorganize the Tianyou Army's Ertars. They took advantage of the interval of artillery fire on the mountain to rush to repair the stone wall in front of the position.

…………

Bai Guang'en, the chief soldier of Ji Town, originally thought that there were not many Tartars defending Xishimen, so they could easily capture it.

However, they never expected that their resistance would be so resolute. Seeing that the battle reports from the front continued to come back, and the battalions in the town responsible for the main attack mission on the mountain road suffered heavy losses, faint complaints spread.

In fact, it was within his expectation that the West Shimen Mountain Road was difficult to attack.

The mountains there are steep, and the mountain roads are rugged and tortuous. Most of the battalions that attacked Jizhen were squadrons, and their combat effectiveness was incomparable with the battalions.

Although they can also push chariots to cover the front along the mountain road, the width of the mountain road is different, and the winding road is very difficult. Once a chariot is destroyed by the artillery of the Qing army, it will become an obstacle blocking the road. Efforts to clear.

The Qing soldiers built many fortifications in advance, including shallow ditches, stone walls, and even built some small caves for Tibetan soldiers with the help of rocks on both sides. Even if there were some rocket vehicles to help out, it was of little use.

Only the tiger crouching guns and mortar guns carried forward by the sergeants could pose some threats to the Qing soldiers, but they were also compromised by the twists and turns of the mountain road and failed to play a real role.

It's all because the gunners in Ji Town don't practice hard on weekdays. It's good enough that the cannons they carry can fire well, so don't count on the speed and accuracy of firing!
However, with the help of the gunners of the Superintendent Battalion, he has made good progress in seizing the side army on both sides of the mountain, which he placed high hopes on. It is impossible to just dive down and retreat from the enemy.

Most of the partisan troops on these two wings attacking the Qing army's positions in the mountains were guerrilla generals in the town who were close to him on a daily basis.

Compared with the West Shimen Mountain Road, the mountains on both sides are just inconvenient to push chariots. Although the mountains are rugged and steep, it is not easy to move, but with the help of the gunners of the Supervising Biao Battalion, they used tiger squatting cannons and mortars to bombard them all the way, and the progress was natural. It is much faster than on the mountain road.

Moreover, there were not many Tazi soldiers stationed on the mountain, they just relied on the favorable terrain they occupied in advance to defend.

Now, in the face of complaints about attacking the battalions and squadrons on the mountain road, Bai Guangen was also afraid that he would go too far at this time and really stir up a mutiny before the battle, and he couldn't bear it.

He made a decision at the moment and ordered the battalions in front to withdraw, and he would personally lead the main battalion to press up and gnaw down the hard bone of the West Shimen Mountain Road!

…………

On the platform of the Central Army Commander of Governor Jiliao at the halfway of Rufeng Mountain, Hong Chengchou faced the east and stood still. He had been carefully watching the battle in the direction of Shimen Mountain.

On the side of Rufeng Mountain facing Shimen Mountain, observation posts have been placed from all angles from top to bottom. They pay close attention to the battle on Shimen Mountain and report to the Chinese army every quarter of an hour.

Although Hong Chengchou still had a face as heavy as water, his eyebrows were deeply furrowed. He was really dissatisfied with the focus on the battle at Shimen Mountain.

Combining the power of the three towns, and this kind of tactic that advances simultaneously and blossoms at multiple points, makes the mountain guards have to take care of both ends. I never imagined that the progress is so slow.

At this time, it had been nearly two hours since the Ming army began to attack the mountain. According to the battle reports from all parties and my own observations, it seemed that the progress of Xuanda's troops on Huangtuling was quite smooth.

Although Hong Chengchou's expression didn't change, and he didn't say anything, but at this moment, his heart was full of anger, and his deployment of troops was obviously inclined to the Ji Liao army.

In addition to the Shenji Battalion being divided into two, the gunners from the Supervisory Battalion under his command were also sent up to support Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen.

There are also soldiers and horses from Shanhai Town of Ma Ke on Rufeng Mountain used as a reserve team, and the Supervising Biao Battalion under his command, Qiu Minyang's Fubiao Battalion, and the troops of Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen are also stationed near Shimen Mountain.

Not only are there many soldiers and horses, but even the two most capable divisions of Wu Sangui in Liao Town and Cao Bianjiao in Ji Town are concentrated here.

According to Hong Chengchou's vision, the main attack on Shimen Mountain is still the original troops of Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and Tang Tong, and once they can break through the defense line of Shimen Mountain Tartars.

Then, troops such as Ma Ke, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen, together with the soldiers and horses of the Dubiao Battalion and the Fubiao Battalion, can use the way to fight out and help Wu Sangui and other three towns soldiers and horses to further expand the results of the battle.

The Qing army would be hard-pressed to cope with the sudden pressure of so many troops, and they might be able to cross the Naughty River in one fell swoop. In this way, they could force the Tartar rebels assembled at Baimiaobao by the Naughty River in Jinxi to return to the defense line encircled by Jinxi.

If this is the case, then the crisis of Xingshan Fort's grain road will be resolved by itself, and when Wu Sangui achieves this great achievement, won't he be able to sit on an equal footing with Zhang Cheng again.

And after this battle, all the generals in Jiliao were rewarded for their military exploits, and his own strategizing was naturally the most important, while Xuan Da's soldiers and horses were at most a great achievement, and his limelight was overshadowed by Wu Sangui and other generals.

From then on, maybe he would not have that kind of prestige in the army to aid Liao, he "hummed" and thought to himself: how dare you show off in front of the governor!

"Hong Du, do you want to send another group of troops to support General Changbo!"

Faced with Liaodong governor Qiu Minyang's reminder, Hong Chengchou was indifferent. He completely ignored the governor Qiu Minyang, but beckoned to Zhang Zhongping, the thousand general of his Chinese army, and said to him: "Go, send a message to Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, and Tang Tong. Within hours, Shimen Mountain cannot be opened, and military law will take care of it!"

"Yes, Governor."

Zhang Zhongping responded softly, but did not leave immediately, but looked at the governor Qiu Minyang, as well as Hong Chengchou's cronies Xie Sixin, Li Song and others.

Xie Sixin first met Li Song's eyes, and then looked at Liaodong Governor Qiu Minyang, seeing that he was also giving him a wink, Xie Sixin couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, then shook his head again, knowing that he had to wipe his ass again.

He first raised his hand to caress the small beard on his chin, then waved his hand to beckon Zhang Zhongping, and whispered a few words in his whisper, that Zhang Zhongping ran down the Chinese Army commander's platform with a relaxed expression on his face.

After seeing Zhang Zhongping leave, Xie Sixin walked towards Hong Chengchou and said softly: "Minister, although the Tartars have withdrawn many of their garrison troops, they have been operating in Shimen Mountain for a long time, and the places they hold on to are all dangerous places, even more so. It is indeed difficult to attack with guns and sharp arrows.

Although General Chang Bo and others had many troops, the mountains were steep and the mountain roads were narrow and rugged. Although the river valleys were wider, the soil was soft and the cannons could not handle them. "

Hong Chengchou was just pretending just now, and he didn't really get angry. At this time, he came down through Xie Sixin's steps, and only heard him say: "Order someone to send an order to Ma Ke, let him send some soldiers and horses to the breast. Let's rush down the peak first to relieve the pressure on Shimen Mountain."

Xie Sixin said with a smile: "The governor is relieved, I don't think General Changbo's side will be a problem, maybe in a short while, there will be rumors of victory.

As for Ma Zongbing, the students should go there in person, so that the governor can comfort him so that he can sell more energy! "

Hong Chengchou sighed lightly and didn't say anything else, but Xie Sixin reminded softly: "Minister, Xuanda's army seems to be going smoothly. According to news, that Zhang Cheng has surrounded the Huangtuling bandits, but not attack.

And collect boats everywhere, trying to rush across to the other side of the Xiaoling River! "

"Oh."

Hong Chengchou was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?"

"It's the person who is placed next to Zhang Ruoqi. The news sent back must not be wrong."

"Well, let's go to work."

Hong Chengchou said lightly, as if thinking of something again, he hurriedly said: "That's right. Ask Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen to prepare as well. If it doesn't work, just charge him with all your strength!"

Xie Sixin was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands calmly and said, "Sixin, I got it."

…………

On the hillside on the north side of Rufeng Mountain, there is a slightly gentle slope. The main barracks of Shanhaiguan General Ma Ke is temporarily stationed, and the Chinese army tent is set up next to a big tree.

Ma Ke is enjoying the shade under the big tree with several generals under his command. A tea table is placed in front of them, but there are wine, vegetables and meat on it.

Everything here seems to be completely incompatible with the murderous atmosphere around, but it is so real.

The generals of Shanhai Town squinted at the two servants from time to time, and they seemed to be able to see another extravagant hope from their eyes.
Whenever he saw this scene, Ma Ke was not angry but happy. Amidst his "haha" laughter, the boy also broke free from his entanglement, ran away gently, and rearranged his clothes again.

Everyone present, whether it was Ma Ke, the two servants, or the generals, and the guards standing around them, seemed to be familiar with it.

It seems that such a drama is constantly being staged every moment.

Where is the Songjin front line where life and death can be seen at any time, and tens of thousands of people are fighting for it?
It's more than heaven, it's a goddamn heaven!

It can be said that it is like the Jiangnan outside the Guan, and the Qinhuai River in Liaodong.
