Tang Tong led his army battalion to turn west from Hegu Road for less than a mile, and saw that the left battalion and right battalion who were the main attackers in front sent people to report back, and the sailor battalion stationed in front was quite strong.

He hurriedly rode his horse forward, stopped to watch, and saw a deep moat not far in front of him, blocking the army's attack route, and behind the moat was a camp.

It can be seen that this camp has been greatly expanded by the Qing army, enough to accommodate thousands of people, and most of the walls of the camp are newly built, and many door panels, large wood and large stones can be seen in it.

It turned out that under the stimulation of Tang Tong's heavy reward, the Miyun Army displayed extraordinary combat effectiveness and fighting will.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward!
They quickly broke through the river valley road at East Shimen, and although they left behind nearly a thousand corpses of their comrades in arms, the living would not feel sorry for this, they would only be more excited.

Because, the victory is getting closer and closer, and their hope of surviving is gradually increasing. Once the battle is over, they will be rewarded for their meritorious service. How can they not be excited.

After breaking through the river valley road, Tang Tong felt that the soldiers in the main battalion were too exhausted. Once there was a sudden military situation, it would be difficult to deal with it. Therefore, he changed the left and right battalions and rangers to clean up the remnants of the Tartars.

As a result, as soon as they turned across the river valley road, they ran into the sailor camp head-on after a short charge.

The generals of the left and right battalions did not dare to be negligent when they saw the strength of the slave soldiers on the opposite side. They urgently sent someone to send a message to the main barracks for help, while they have been forming a defensive formation under the scorching sun, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from behind.

In this way, they waited until the full members of the main battalion led by Tang Tong's personal general and guerrilla general Tang Youren arrived before they felt at ease.

After Tang Youren led the main barracks to arrive, he saw that the Tartars in the opposite sailor camp were heavily defended and strong, so he was also very cautious.

After discussing with the generals of the three battalions, they decided to concentrate each battalion and form a separate formation first, arranged in a character shape, with the main battalion in front, and the left and right battalions separated into two wings.

At the same time, Hu Yuntong, the guerrilla of the Right Battalion, and Tang San, the head of the guard team, were sent back to report the situation here to Tang Tong, the commander in chief.

Tang Youren dared not leave the front line lightly because the main barracks was located in the front and might be attacked by Tatars at any time, so he sent Tang San to accompany Hu Yuntong to the central army.

…………

Tang Tong was in front of Chen Shihu pointing Jiangshan vigorously, bragging about the advantages and disadvantages of his Miyun Army, threatening to kill at the foot of Rufeng Mountain before it gets dark, join forces with Ma Ke, cross Hebei, and wipe out all the dust!
At this moment Hu Yuntong and Tang San, the guerrillas from the Right Battalion, came to report, saying that since the front is the sailor camp, there are many Tatar thieves stationed there, roughly over a thousand people, so I came here to ask the commander to make a decision.

After Tang Tong heard the news, his complexion sank immediately, and he asked sharply: "There are only a thousand Tartars in the area, do you still want me to go there in person? You and the nearly ten thousand troops are all for nothing!"

"What a waste."

He cursed angrily again, then raised his whip and pointed at Tang San and said, "Go, tell Tang Youren, I'm here to watch, if he can't take down the sailor camp, he will come to see me with his head up."

Seeing that the general's lord seemed to be really angry, Tang San didn't dare to say anything, he just obediently agreed, and the guerrilla Hu Yuntong at the side was killed by dozens of Tartars and hundreds of people on the East Shimen River Valley Road. Many Tartars chased and fled, so they dare not say anything at this moment.

Just when the two of them turned around, a group of strong men with old and tattered clothes were pushing more than 300 light chariots to catch up. These chariots were equipped with a large number of small Frang machine guns and Baizi guns.

After seeing these cannon carriages, Hu Yuntong felt his eyes light up, but he didn't want to turn around to talk to Tang Tong, so as not to be ridiculed by him again, but secretly reached out and tugged at the corner of Tang San's clothes.

Tang San also saw these chariots at this time, and naturally understood Hu Yuntong's intentions at once. Relying on the fact that he was Tang Tong's nephew, and usually served Tang Tong often, he turned around and looked for Tang Tong. .

For Tang Tong, he only wanted to break through the sailor battalion in front of him as soon as possible. As for these chariots, he didn't care. Even if they were broken, so what?

As long as you have military merits in hand, you can go to the governor to ask for it when the time comes!

Anyway, there are a lot of light tanks like this in the arsenals of the castles in Liaodong. This time, Dongshimen is going well. He has just sent his own soldiers to report to Governor Hong Chengchou: Dongshimen has been breached, and the department is moving forward. Attack on the north side of Shimen Mountain.

Under such circumstances, there is no time to think about the chariot issue. Naturally, the sooner the sailor battalion is captured, the better.

…………

On the east and south sides of the sailor camp, there are many chariots lined up. Roughly speaking, there are nearly [-] chariots. Behind these chariots are the soldiers of the main barracks and the left and right battalions of Miyun Town.

The officers and soldiers of the Miyun Army of the three battalions all hid behind the chariot formation, following the advancement of the chariots, they slowly approached the sailor battalion.

Finally, when they were about a hundred steps away from the trench outside the sailors' camp wall, they stopped, and they quietly watched the gunners in front adjust the artillery, clean the barrel, and load the ammunition.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

On the nearly [-] light tanks in front of the Miyun army, a burst of artillery fired, and a large number of Flang machines and Baizi guns sprayed large streams of flames and gunpowder smoke ahead.

There is nothing wrong with being cautious most of the time, whether it is in being a person or doing things, even when the army is fighting.

The fear of the soldiers of the Miyun Army towards the Tartars was almost deep in their bones. Although they had rushed forward like crazy under the lure of Yin Zi, it did not mean that they really dared to fight the Tartars.

At that time, there was oppression by officials and generals, temptation by money, and those who were truly not afraid of death took the lead. Who knows how many people who signed up to participate in the death charge at that time were fishing in troubled waters?

But now it is different. Everyone knows that victory is already in front of them. At this moment, if they rush forward as if they are dying, they will be no different from fools!

Moreover, they are also very self-aware. When it comes to the ability to fight in close combat, the gap between themselves and the Tartar soldiers is not small.

So when they saw the guerrilla Hu Yuntong and Tang San carrying more than 300 light chariots, they immediately cheered. With the chariots in front, they could not only bombard the Tartars from a distance, but also play a certain protective role.

You don't need to kiss Mao Shishi, your own safety is guaranteed, how can you not make them happy!
Shimenshan North Road, east and south of the sailor camp on the south bank of the Daughter River, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the roar of artillery fire continued.

Moreover, the Franc cannons on these light tanks are extremely fast because of the use of sub-guns.

Although the cannons were not big, they weighed two or one or two catties at most, but they roared like hailstones and flew away through the wind. With the sound of thunderbolts, the earth and rocks on the walls of the sailors' camp were flying across. The Qing army guards behind the wall were also in a panic.

The continuous firing of the artillery produced a violent vibration, which made the nearby people feel as if their internal organs were about to burst. Many of their eardrums were even shaken by the "rumbling" artillery, which made them ache.

Cannonballs roared and flew across the sky, round after round, continuously.

The artillery on all the light tanks, as well as the tiger squatting guns and small mortars carried by the army, rumbled continuously, and the white fog in front of the army formation became thicker and thicker.

The artillery fire of the Ming army started from the battle between the two sides in Never Time and continued until Dao Shen Time.

During this long hour, the Ming army's artillery fire was sometimes sparse and sometimes intensive, making it impossible for the Qing soldiers to figure out the pattern at all. In short, the artillery fire kept bombarding the wall of the moat on the other side.

But the Qing soldiers guarding the Sailor Battalion could only be beaten and could not fight back!

In other words, the arrangement of the sailor battalion can block the attacks of foreign enemies and is good for defense. However, under the bombardment of the Ming army's artillery fire from a distance, they have no chance to attack at all.

And they can't tolerate them using other methods to fight back, it's really aggrieved!
In the middle of Shen Shi, the Qing soldiers guarding the sailor battalion finally received an order to retreat from the rear.

As for the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the sailor camp, they watched the Tartars retreat quietly, and no one proposed to stop them.

Before leaving, the Tazi soldiers also set fire to the warehouses in the sailor camp. After reaching the north bank of the Daughter River, they directly burned down the pontoon bridge erected on the river.

Thousands of Miyun troops were completely indifferent to this, they still lined up neatly, no one dared to act rashly!

After the Qing soldiers guarding the Sailor Battalion had gone away, Tang Youren and other generals still maintained an extremely cautious attitude, instead of organizing a pursuit.

They even sent a small group of vanguard soldiers to enter the sailor camp to test out, for fear that there might be an ambush by the Tartars.

It was not until it was completely confirmed that all the Tartars guarding the sailor battalion had withdrawn that, under the cover of densely packed chariots, they pushed towards the burning pontoon bridge along the south bank of the Daughter River.

Numerous soldiers of the Miyun Army surrounded their leader and stood quietly by the bank of the Daughter River, looking at the huge pontoon bridge that was being burned.

Obviously, the Qing soldiers had already made preparations. They must have hidden sulfur and other flammable objects on the pontoon bridge in advance. Taking advantage of the wind, the fire burned all the way without hindrance, and soon crossed the center line of the Daughter River.

Even if the Ming army arrived in time and wanted to put out the fire, it might not be possible to save even a tiny bit of this pontoon bridge!
In fact, there is not only this pontoon bridge on the Naughty River. From here to the west, there are many such pontoon bridges in some places upstream of the Naughty River.

At this moment, looking around, the flames on the other side of the Daughter River are gradually extinguished, and the thick smoke is not as thick as it was at the beginning.

If Tang Youren could make a prompt decision, and after a period of bombardment, he would immediately dispatch the elite battalion to attack fiercely, and he might be able to snatch the pontoon bridge.

In the worst case, the lower half of the pontoon bridge can be preserved, leaving a little foundation for the future struggle to cross the Nuerhe River.

It is a pity that because of the fear of the Tartars, in the final analysis, I am still afraid of death. After all, the war is coming to an end, the victory is already in sight, and it is time to pick peaches soon.

At this time, which one will fight desperately? It is already very good if they can keep the formation in order. For example, Tang Youren, the leader of the Zhengbing Battalion, has a deep understanding of this. No one knows what his subordinates are like. will force them.

The tens of thousands of troops just watched quietly, without firing a single shot or firing an arrow, and waited until the pontoon bridge was completely burned down.

Looking at everything in front of them, thousands of Miyun Army officers and soldiers all heaved a sigh of relief. Looking around, they were all full of spirited expressions.

"Hahaha……"

Tang Youren also burst out laughing, and then ordered a soldier beside him, saying: "Our soldiers in Miyun Town fought bloody battles, and after repeatedly fighting the slaves, fortunately, thanks to the great blessing of the Holy Lord, Master Hong strategized, and Commander Tang made sure to command the slaves The thieves forced back, captured the sailor camp and the enemy's stronghold, and completed our division's pre-war strategy.

Great victory in this battle! "

…………

About four miles south of the outer city of Jinzhou, the imperial camp of Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was set up here, about one mile away from the Nuerhe River.

Military reports from the front line came from time to time. Huang Taiji, the kings of the Qing Dynasty Baylor, and the ministers and generals all paid close attention to the battles on Shimen Mountain and Huangtu Ridge.

The movements of the Ming army are related to the success of this strategy of the Qing Dynasty. They are mobilizing the whole country and betting on the battle of the national fortune. How dare they take it lightly.

For this battle, Huang Taiji planned for half a month, and now that he finally lured the Ming army to dispatch, he felt a little excited, but after all, he was a veteran who went to the battlefield when he was young. Hold your breath.

Therefore, although we paid close attention to the battles on Shimen Mountain and Huangtu Ridge, the Qing army did not move.

Because Huang Taiji is still not sure whether the Ming Dynasty has used all its troops, and whether the army he pre-arranged can tie the main force of the Ming army around Songshan.

"Did the Ming army reach the north bank of the Daughter River?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice with a military newspaper in his hand.

A Jialazhangjing with a white flag knelt down and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, King Wuying sent back a message that a Ming army has broken through the East Stone Gate and is attacking the sailor camp."

A cold light suddenly shot out from Dorgon's eyes, and a cruel smile appeared on his face, the Ming army finally took the bait.

Hauge also let out a grin, and said viciously: "This time I can finally give those smart dogs a good look!"

He looked up at Huang Taiji who was aloof, with a hint of envy in his eyes, he tried his best to lower his voice and asked, "Your Majesty, can we attack now?"

Huang Taiji was noncommittal to Hauge's request, but turned to Dorgon and asked, "What did Prince Rui say, do you think the time for my warrior to attack is ripe?"

When Dorgon heard the words, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In fact, what made him feel the most torment was not fighting, but facing Huang Taiji's test.

Whenever there is something wrong, as long as Dorgon is around, Huang Taiji will always be the first to ask for his opinion, which makes Dorgon scratch his head very much.

Every time I struggle with how to answer, countless brain cells die!
This is not an ordinary test question and answer. If you say this sentence badly, you may endanger your own safety, or even your life.

At least one person died, and at worst, the whole family was mutilated!

Although Dorgon was anxious in his heart, his expression remained the same as usual. He thought carefully before getting up and replying: "Your Majesty, among your subjects, the flags of the four towns of the Ming Army have been seen on Shimen Mountain. Only the Ming army in Xuanzhen, but Datong Town has also been traced.

I feel that most of the Ming army has been exhausted, and it is time for us, the Qing warriors, to attack! "
