Chapter 823
Dorgon hadn't finished speaking, just pulled the rein of the horse, turned the horse's head, and there was a "boom" from the direction of the old castle in the east.

Everyone was shocked, the horse neighed restlessly, Dorgon quickly tightened the horse, and asked: "What's going on?"

"No, it should be the Wei thief who came to seize the old castle!" Shi Tingzhu exclaimed.

Dorgon immediately waved his whip and urged the horse to gallop, followed by many Qing generals, and came to the east in a short time, just in time to see nearly a hundred Qing troops being driven out of the old castle by a group of more than 2000 Wei army dragon cavalry .

The scouts of the Wei army and the Qing army were still fighting in the wilderness, and the bodies of soldiers from both sides were scattered everywhere on the ground.

"It's too late, let the bandit Wei snatch it away." Bo Luo exclaimed.

The old fort is called Hengshan Fort, and it is located on the high ground to the east of the Qing army, which can be used as a support for the Qing army.

The chief of the Wei army is firearms, and the earthen walls of the fortress can withstand the attack of the Wei army. If the Qing army occupies the fortress, it can send an elite army to garrison, arrange artillery, and hide the cavalry.The soldiers and horses to the east of the Wei army wanted to attack the Qing army's flanks, and the Qing army in the fort could bombard the Wei army, and the cavalry could also take advantage of the momentum to fight out.

Dorgon looked gloomy, and looked at the two low hills on both sides of Hengshan Fort, "You are in charge of the east line of Shi Tingzhu. You send people to seize the two sides of the fort immediately, and you must take back this fort tomorrow."

"Cha! This slave takes orders!" Shi Tingzhu hurriedly saluted with a dignified expression.

Dorgon ordered again with a sullen face: "Is there any danger on the western front, Bayan, you immediately send more troops to seize it!"

"Reporting to the Regent, there is no fortress in the west, but there are four hills and two small villages. The village is occupied by us, and only one of the hills is occupied, and the rest are occupied by Wei army scouts." Bayan hurriedly replied.

Dorgon took a look at Hengshan Fort, pulled the rein of his horse, "Go to the west!"

The terrain on the west side is actually the same as that on the east side. When the two sides are combined, it looks like a big river, with two banks on the left and right, and the river bed in the middle.

Now Dorgon's main force is like a torrent of water in a river, Gao Yihuan is like a dam blocking the river, and the Wei army on both wings is like a mudslide that will wash down from the river embankment.

At this moment in the west, the scouts of the two armies were also fighting, vying for the strategic location in the west, so that they could gain an advantage in tomorrow's battle.

Dorgon took a glance and saw that the scouts of the Qing army and the Wei army were fighting and fighting within a radius of more than ten miles. He said to the people around him: "The key to tomorrow's battle is to break through the Wei thieves in the front and defeat Gao Manzi. This king will Put most of the elite soldiers on the front, but the two wings are also crucial to the entire battle situation. They must be held firmly and cannot affect the attack of the front army. As long as the king breaks through the Wei bandits in the front, he can use the power of the horse army to cover up and kill them. Gao Manzi, rush forward, cut off the Wei thieves' food and escape routes, and wipe out the main force of the Wei army in one battle."

"The regent is wise, we have many troops, and the Wei bandits are few. If we can concentrate our superior forces and defeat the Wei bandits." Shi Tingzhu, Bayan and the others hurriedly said.

But Dorgon pulled the rein and continued to move forward, observing the terrain. He wanted to know every detail of the battlefield by heart.

~~~~~~
As night fell, small units of the Qing army and the Wei army were still fighting, vying for a favorable position on the battlefield.

To the east of Hengshan Fort, Shi Tingzhu organized troops to carry out a medium-scale surprise attack. The flames on the east front were flickering, and the flames burst into flames. The battle was extremely fierce.

The small cavalry of the Qing army interspersed at the junction of the east, west, and south lines, and the gap between the Wei army's central army and the two wings, causing great pressure on the Wei army.

Gao Yihuan could only let the cavalry of the selected Tiger Horse Army attack quickly, drive away the cavalry of the Qing army, block them, and force them back.

In the dark night, in the wilderness near Xinkou, the sound of guns was heard sporadically. The two sides didn't have any rules, but they created pressure on each other.

Outside the big tent of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan, who couldn't sleep, stood outside with Li Dingguo and others, looking north, watching the brightly lit Qing army camp ten miles away.

"Dingguo, do you think that if there is no lonely king in this world, will the Manchu Qing rule the world and steal the artifact?" Gao Yihuan asked suddenly.

Li Dingguo turned his head and took a look at Gao Yihuan. Isn't this what Cao Cao said, "If there is no one in the world, I don't know how many people will be kings and how many people will be emperors?".

"I think it's very possible!" Seeing Gao Yihuan's small expression, Li Dingguo was silent for a moment, and said in a very cooperative way, it's not good to give Gao Yihuan some face.Furthermore, the Manchus entered the customs and wiped out Li Zicheng, sweeping the north, and Nanming was indeed not the opponent of the Manchus, nor was the Western Army. Without the rise of the Wei Army in the Central Plains, which curbed the momentum of the Manchus, what is the world like? It has swept the world, it's really hard to say.

Now that the battle is imminent, even if you flatter a few words against your will to cheer up His Royal Highness Wei Wang, it is good.

Gao Yihuan was very happy to hear the words. This was the approval from the famous general. He smiled and said, "Gu also thinks so. The lonely king who descended from the sky wants the lonely king to turn the tide, drive out the Tartars, clean up the filth, and revive the Han family. .”

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan looked at the Qing camp, his eyes suddenly filled with determination, "Order all the troops to act according to the plan tomorrow, let the vanguard battalion take action in the middle of the night, harass the Tatar camp, pay attention to the movement of the Tartars, and prepare for a decisive battle. "

Li Dingguo immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

After he finished his salute, he went to prepare. Gao Yihuan looked at the Qing army camp in the distance, and murmured: "The lonely king is the chosen son of heaven. He has a mission and will fight tomorrow to defeat the captives."

In the Qing army camp, Dorgon, who observed the surrounding terrain, also couldn't fall asleep. He was actually more nervous than Gao Yihuan.

If Gao Yihuan is defeated, he still has a chance to escape back to Guanzhong, but if he loses, everything will be over.

Dorgon stared at the Ming army's camp under the lights, the camps of the Qing army and the Ming army, like two nearby nebulae in the dark universe.

"Tomorrow we will see the outcome!" Dorgon looked ahead, his eyes flickering, "This battle, win or die!"

Boluo can see from Dorgon's arrangement that in this battle, Dorgon did not leave a retreat. If the Qing army failed, the whole army would be wiped out.

If the Wei army could not be defeated, even if the Qing army retreated in full, it would be meaningless, and at most they would linger on their last legs.

"The regent will definitely defeat the bandits of Wei, kill Gao Yihuan, and recover Hedong in one fell swoop, then our Qing Dynasty will still be able to dominate the north. At least we can maintain the situation like Jin, Southern Song, and Xixia." Bo Luo firmly said.

Dorgon smiled, "Boluo, you are right, this battle is my king's Sarhu."

As he said that, Dorgon's face became serious, "Tomorrow, I hope that you can defeat Wei thief with the belief that you will win to the death. Whoever can kill Gao Yihuan will be promoted to three ranks and be the highest king."

"Zha!" Many Qing generals saluted in unison, and at this moment, there were several "swish" sounds in the distant sky, and several crooked rockets shot up towards the Qing army camp.

Dorgon narrowed his eyes, and Bo Luo next to him immediately explained in a deep voice: "It's the rocket of Wei Jun."

In the middle of the night, the soldiers of the Qing army who attacked and harassed the Wei army outside the camp gradually withdrew to the camp and prepared to rest in preparation for tomorrow's battle.

At this time, a small group of soldiers of the Wei army began to harass the Qing army. In the dark wilderness, a burst of fire occasionally erupted, dragged out the usual trail, fell into the Qing army camp, and set the camp on fire, causing panic.

As the battle approached, the soldiers must have trouble sleeping in the first half of the night, and only had a chance to barely fall asleep in the second half of the night. However, the Wei army seized this point and carried out harassment, affecting the rest of the Qing army, thus consuming the Qing army's vigor.
