When Dorgon realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops have once again gathered at the foot of Yufan Mountain and have completed their assembly.
"How to fight?" Li Xianzhong asked.
"Fight according to the plan!" Huang Degong replied.
Li Xianzhong raised his head, his expression serious: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, we'll use a one-shot strategy."
"Okay." Li Xianzhong didn't waste any words and urged his horse to leave.
When all the troops were ready, Huang Degong urged his horse forward and came to the front of the team.
He first looked up at Jiefan Mountain in the distance, then turned and looked at the Ming army formation.
Finally, he withdrew his gaze and looked at his right hand.
He held an iron whip in his right hand. Although there was no blood on it, it was filled with the smell of death.
Huang Degong raised his right hand high and shouted with all his might: "I know very little about words, but today I will say one thing: if we cannot conquer Jiefan Mountain, no one will survive! Send out the troops!"
Whoosh!
The herald waved the flag.
With a bang
The signal gun sounded first.
This was followed by the sound of majestic trumpets and inspiring drums.
The drumsticks hit the drum like raindrops.
The soldiers' feet stepped on the ground at the same frequency.
The Ming army's chariots were in the front, spearmen and swordmen were in the middle, and bird-gun soldiers and archers followed closely behind.
Amid the deafening shouts of killing, countless infantrymen rushed towards the battlefield in a mighty force.
Then the artillery was dispatched.
They used animals to pull the artillery towards the foot of the mountain, intending to provide fire support to the infantry by firing upward.
When the first echelon of infantry and artillery left their positions, Huang Degong ordered again: "Second echelon, go ahead."
With the command flags waving, Li Xianzhong and Li Dingguo from the second echelon each led their cavalry to charge forward.
Since cavalry could not attack mountains, they did not attack Jiefan Mountain directly.
Instead, they rushed to the north and south sides of Jiefan Mountain respectively and moved towards the back mountain of Jiefan Mountain.
They learned from the surrendered soldiers that there were several roads leading to the top of Jiefan Mountain from the back of the mountain.
You can attack the mountain from there.
In addition, if you go around Jiefan Mountain, you can see the mountain road leading to Hetuala.
When attacking Jiefan Village before, Mandahai defended himself on the mountain.
Taking advantage of the favorable terrain, they caused great trouble to the Ming army.
Now the Ming army is making a comeback.
If Man Dahai continued to hide in the mountains as before, the Ming army would have two choices.
One is to attack Man Dahai from both sides.
The second is to march to the city of Hetuala again, just like they did to the city of Shenyang before.
How to fight specifically depends on Man Dahai's performance.
Looking at the Ming army infantry charging down the mountain, Man Dahai was not panicked at all. He smiled and said, "Haha, I now have 15,000 soldiers under my command! Jiefan Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Jiefan Village is as solid as a rock. No matter how many Ming troops come, they will die."
Luo Keduo, who was wearing a red flag, flattered him: "Your Majesty is a master of military tactics, and he will surely win."
"Haha!" Man Dahai smiled with satisfaction again.
As he watched, Man Dahai suddenly stopped smiling.
Because he found that as the command flags were waving, countless Ming troops were pouring into the battlefield.
The Ming army in front moved forward, and the gap left behind was quickly filled by the soldiers behind.
The gaps left by the soldiers at the back were filled by the soldiers to the rear.
Looking into the distance, the road from Jiefan Mountain to Sarhu was already full of people.
The flags fluttered in the wind, and the armor emitted a dazzling light under the reflection of the sunlight.
"No, this is not right!" Man Dahai stood up, shaking his head.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Luo Koduo asked hurriedly.
Man Dahai pointed at the battlefield and said, "The Ming army's strength is wrong! Looking at this battle, the Ming army has more than 30,000 soldiers. It's not an exaggeration to say 50,000!"
Luo Keduo looked at the battlefield and realized that something was wrong. He said, "Indeed, the Ming army is endless, and the number of soldiers is definitely not 30,000!"
"Quick, ask Prince Rui for help."
"Yes." Luo Keduo gave the order as quickly as possible.
When he returned to Man Dahai again, the Ming cavalry had already set out.
Looking at the Ming cavalry rushing towards the back mountain, Man Dahai was horrified and said, "The Ming army is going to attack us from the front and back. Let the cavalry from the back mountain push forward quickly."
The Eight Banners soldiers were best at field battles, so Man Dahai only deployed part of his forces on the mountain.
The rest were all arranged in the back mountain to deal with emergencies.
In order to ensure that there is no worry in the rear, Man Dahai asked Luo Keduo to supervise the battle.
When Li Xianzhong and Li Dingguo took a detour to the back mountain, they met Luo Keduo head-on.
Without any pause, both sides rushed forward and hacked at each other.
The war horses rushed forward recklessly and the soldiers fought with their swords, drawing blood.
The brutal hand-to-hand combat officially began.
Because the mountain roads are narrow, they cannot accommodate a large number of cavalrymen fighting at the same time.
The Ming army's advantage in military strength was offset.
"Report!" The scout came to Huang Degong and said, "The mountain road is narrow, and our military advantage is offset. Generals Li Xianzhong and Li Dingguo's attack is blocked."
Huang Degong was well prepared. He waved his hand and ordered: "Order the artillery at the foot of the mountain to provide support."
"yes."
The order was given, and some artillerymen at the foot of the mountain used animals to drag their artillery away from the battlefield and went around the back of the mountain along the mountain roads on both sides.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The artillerymen shouted towards the front while driving the animals.
In front of them are elite cavalrymen waiting in line for hand-to-hand combat.
When they heard someone making rude remarks behind them, they immediately turned around and prepared to curse back.
When they saw that it was their own artillery, they quickly shut up.
no way.
After a long siege, they asked for artillery support.
Now artillery is the boss.
The artilleryman, who had never been treated like this before, immediately had a happy smile on his face.
