Chapter 788 I will never back down
There was a roar on Jingshan Mountain, and dozens of rockets shot up white smoke. With a "swoosh", they rushed crookedly into the Qing army at the foot of the mountain, exploding a ball of flames.

In the wilderness, the king's flag was lowered, and Dorgon used a telescope to look at the Ming army flags on several peaks on Jiuli Mountain.

He Luohui, who was on the side, explained: "My lord, on Jingshan Mountain is the Ming general Liu Zhaoji. Removal, I don't want to be valued by Gao Mingheng a few years ago, so I can be reactivated, and now it is the main force of Yangzhou Town."

Dole nodded and remembered the name.

He Luohui pointed to a low hill in the distance again, "Your Majesty, that is Mount Qi, who is holding the banner of Wu Risheng, the commander of the Japanese army. This man was a Jinshi during the Chongzhen period. People recruited new soldiers and formed the Imperial Army. When the Prince of England marched south, he supported the Japanese army in Guazhou and other places and fought against the Qing army for a long time. Later, Chen Zilong joined the military department, Wang Yan entered the household department, and Wu Risheng served as the Praise the command of the Japanese army. This person abandons literature and pursues military affairs, and he is probably a Confucian general like Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chengzong, so he should be more difficult to deal with."

Dorgon frowned slightly, and said in his heart, "The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources and has a large population. Gao Yihuan and a large number of civil servants and generals from the Western Wei Kingdom appeared in the west, and all kinds of talents began to emerge in the south. It is impossible to kill them all. If this continues , The Eight Banners can't compare at all, we must figure out a way to make the world produce fewer talents, or turn these people into slaves that can be used by the Qing Dynasty."

At this time, He Luohui continued: "Your Majesty, the hills to the southeast, the flag is another forbidden army of Zhu Cihong, the flag is the Fengjie Army, the general is called Wang Yi..."

When speaking and introducing, the Qing army attacking Jingshan had already formed a sparse front and pressed up to the top of the mountain.

The Qing army raised its head and blew the horn. The leader, Jiala Ezhen, drew out his sword and shouted a sentence in Manchu, and the soldiers of the Qing army began to advance slowly.

Manchuria is a fishing and hunting nation, and fighting in the mountains will not fail this group of hunters.

More than [-] Qing troops were pressing on Jingshan Mountain head-on. They did not run wildly amidst the sound of horns, but stepped on the ground and walked forward with solid steps.

Among the soldiers of the Eight Banners, heavy steps wearing double armor, holding a round shield in one hand, a sword in the other, and some even holding a thunderbolt, the cat waist walks in the front, and the back is equipped with swords, hatchets and other weapons The archers, following behind the sword and shield soldiers, spread out and pressed on the Ming army's line.

On the top of the mountain, the artillery of the Ming army roared and smashed into the formation of the Qing army, splashing clouds of mud, and green smoke was still rising from the puddles that were smashed out. The Qing army infantry still moved forward unhurriedly.

After the infantry, the bronze cannons of the Qing army were dragged forward by the horses. The artillerymen dug the cannon holes on the hillside with shovels, pushed the copper cannons in, and were bombarding the Ming army on the hill with artillery shells. The infantry stepped forward.

The Ming army deployed [-] soldiers and horses to the north of Xuzhou to stop Dorgon, but Dorgon didn't know how long Xuzhou could last. In order to prevent Xuzhou from falling, he could only choose a little breakthrough to give Xuzhou defenders support.

Although Dorgon wanted to bypass the blocking Ming army, he was worried that Xuzhou would not be able to make the detour, and after the detour, the Ming army might also block it.

On the hillside, two artillery shells roared. The shells were not fired by the Qing army, but by the Ming army. The two shells fell on the Qing army's infantry, and immediately saw limbs flying. However, the Qing army's formation was scattered and did not cause too much damage Big loss.

The artillery of the Qing army also continued to bombard, and there were bursts of white smoke between the two armies, and the sound of rumbling artillery continued.

The artillery shells of the Qing army aimed at the low earth wall temporarily built by the Ming army, and when the iron bullet hit, gaps appeared in the earth wall immediately.

At this time, all kinds of firearms of the Ming army began to pour on the approaching Qing army, and a swarm of rockets covered the mountain downhill, while the Qing army's swords and shields finally began to climb up at a faster speed.

When the Qing army entered the firing range of the firecrackers, the Ming army's firecrackers fired one after another. The flames flickered on the mountain break, and the smoke rose. Jingshan seemed to be surrounded by a white belt.

The Qing army rushing to the front was hit immediately and rolled down the hillside howling.

On the hillside, the Ming general Yan Yingyuan saw that the Ming army fired a volley of guns and killed more than ten Qing soldiers. However, many Qing soldiers fell to the ground when they saw the Ming army carrying the guns, or squatted on the ground with their shields in their hands. After shooting with the blunderbuss, when the Ming army finished fighting in a row, they jumped up again, rushed forward a few steps, and then took cover again, frowning immediately, and shouted urgently: "Shoot freely, aim and shoot again!"

The soldiers of the Qing army were scattered, and the Ming army fired a volley, so they couldn't hit anyone at all. In addition, the Qing army seemed to be very experienced. After finding out the rhythm of the blunderbuss firing, they dodged when firing the blunderbuss, and the casualties were even smaller.

The rhythm of the Ming army firing guns changed, and several Qing soldiers were hit when they jumped up, and rolled down the hillside...

Dor Gun stared at the Ming army with a binoculars, frowning slightly. He could see that the Ming army on the top of the mountain was more elite, but then he sneered.

······
In the northern city of Xuzhou, many soldiers of the Qing army were looking north.

At this time, Nikan, surrounded by more than a dozen armored soldiers, hurried up the city wall, walked to the edge of the wall, and leaned on the wall to look out. He could only see the flag of the Ming army floating on the hill to the north of the city, but he could not see Jiuli Mountain. The battle situation at the northern foot.

But it didn't matter. When he heard the roar of the artillery, he knew that reinforcements had arrived.

"Haha~" Nikan slammed his fist on the wall, not hiding his joy, "My reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty have arrived."

He was laughing, but one of the generals ran up, "My lord, the Ming army attacked the east city, and the city is in a hurry!"

Nikan was startled, his laughter stopped abruptly, a look of panic appeared on his face, he hastily pulled out his knife, and shouted: "Come with me!"

After speaking, he led a team of soldiers and horses and rushed along the city wall to the east city for reinforcements.

……

Outside the city of Xuzhou, in the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Cihong was standing in front of the sand table. Chen Zilong, Wang Yan, Zhang Huangyan and others were all in the tent, offering advice for Zhu Cihong.

At this time Chen Zilong said: "Your Majesty, Dorgon came from the north, Fang Guoan came to report, and the Qing army also appeared to the west of Guide, it may be Geng Zhongming from Henan!"

Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth, "Didn't Gao Jingzhong march eastward with 30 people? Geng Zhongming faced threats from Tongguan and Nanyang, but he was able to spare his troops to save Xuzhou. This must be Gao Jingzhong, a villain who wants to harm me." !"

Wang Yandao: "Your Majesty, the situation is unclear now, I ask your Majesty to retreat to Huai'an!"

But Zhu Cihong waved his hand, "At this time, I can't retreat! Now as long as Wu Yi and the others block Dorgon on the north bank of the Yellow River, Fang Guoan defends the Qing army in Henan, and Duke Jingguo takes Xuzhou before the ice freezes, this battle, I won. Now I will never back down!"
