The first mountain is five miles northeast of Ningyuan, and there is a beacon tower of the Ming army on the top of the mountain, which was abandoned before the arrival of the main force of the Qing army, and is now used as an observation post by Dolgon, and every move in the city of Ningyuan can hardly escape the eyes and ears of the Qing army.

The main force of the Qing army was more than 100,000, cavalry, infantry, artillery and logistical baggage successively crossed the mountain pass and camped at the northwest foot of the first mountain......

This formation, the Ming army has not seen it for two years.

Wu Sangui in the city was expressionless, he couldn't see joy and anger, but Tang Tong's face was solemn on his side, the two-year war two years ago was vivid, the eight general soldiers, 130,000 Ming troops, only nearly 60,000 were killed, and finally ended in a fiasco, the elite of the nine sides was destroyed, and only 30,000 remnants of the remaining soldiers followed Wu Sangui to retreat to this small city outside the pass, and now the Qing army has come to the door again.

Last time, it was 110,000 against 130,000, and it was a big victory.

Now that there are more than 100,000 dozen and less than 60,000, Tang Tong couldn't help but feel excited.

Looking sideways at Wu Sangui's face, he immediately thought that Ningyuan was the blessed land of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi, and Huang Taiji had all returned without attack, and Dolgon could do nothing, so he paused and looked at the sunset on the West Mountain: "Little Overseer, I can calm down, there is no movement for a day."

What he said was that there was no movement of the flagbearers in the West Mountain, and the exchanges between the two places depended on the flagbearers.

Wu Sangui glanced at the West Mountain, and then looked back at the Shoushan Lookout: "I'm afraid of being exposed, he is lurking in the mountains, how can he be easily exposed if he doesn't seize the opportunity."

Who knew that Tang Tong said softly: "Maybe it will be exposed in advance" said and raised his hand to point.

Wu Sangui's eyebrows also raised: "The little overseer has played."

"Play?" Tang Tong was stunned and puzzled.

"It's not" Wu Sangui looked at the Qing army that was running towards the West Mountain for about half a hundred: "The mountains are boring, the little overseer is young and can't be idle because of his habit of playing, and Dolgon's toy is delivered in time."

With a snort, Tang Tong couldn't help but laugh.

Chang Yu in the mountain couldn't laugh, he didn't enter the cave for a whole day, hid in the observation post under the rock on the top of the cave, secretly observed the Qing army, saw the Ming army open artillery bombardment, out of the city to chase and kill, the Qing army sent reinforcements to expand the scale of the Ming army but Ming Jin returned to the city, and the Qing army continued to attack outside the city......

At the foot of the first mountain, the Qing army was busy camping......

The spies of the Qing army began to wander around, the valley in the north wandered, and the deep mountains in the northwest also sent people, and the west mountains would not let go, according to the secret reports placed around, at least seven groups of people and horses entered the mountains from different directions to investigate.

It's just that the West Mountain is not a single peak, but is composed of several big mountains and more than ten peaks, dozens of light valleys, dense thorns, chaotic rocks and forests, and it is difficult to move an inch of snow to cover the mountains, most of these spies enter the mountain for several hundred meters, and they retreat when they see no trace.

There are dozens of meters from the peak under the rock, overgrown with trees, the dark whistle set up an observation post here with rocks and trees, and then covered up by two snowstorms, almost perfect, not to mention looking far away, you are close to the front if you don't observe carefully are difficult to find the abnormality.

The outpost is covered with hay, and the pit is dug at night to warm with charcoal, although the cold wind is howling outside, it is warm like spring inside, at least Chang Yu likes this feeling very much.

Seeing that it was already dusk, Chang Yu, who estimated that the Qing army would not make any big moves today, decided to go down to the cave to relieve his muscles and bones.

"Governor, look" Just as he was about to get out, the sentry stopped him, and when he raised his eyes, a group of Qing spies rushed from far and near towards the foot of the western mountain, and then wandered near the Dianjiangtai, and then slowly walked along the mountain pass towards the middle of the mountain.

This is the third wave of Qing troops who are trying to enter the mountains from this direction today, and the first two groups are like the group of men and horses the day before, following those footprints for a maximum of a mile and then turning back.

It's just that there were only more than ten people in the first few waves, and there were half a hundred in this wave, and all of them were heavily armored and equipped with strong bows.

Obviously, Dorgon was obsessed with the fleeting monstrous killing intent, and sent several waves of men and horses in succession, but it was still difficult to feel at ease, and when it was about to get dark, he sent another team of men and horses, and he was determined to find out.

The ambush in the mountains cannot be exposed in advance, Chang Yu has to give a devastating blow by surprise when the Qing army is attacking the city, otherwise it will be meaningless to lurk, so immediately send an order, and do not move this Qing army unless it is absolutely necessary.

The outpost of the mountain pass has been warned, and the spies of the Qing army have entered the mountain.

Chang Yu didn't have much psychological pressure, he had already ordered his subordinates to be ready to eliminate the traces in the valley, unless this Qing army found the cave, he was not afraid, and he would not move them.

"Governor, look," the general who had been serving beside the little eunuch raised his hand in a low voice.

Looking along the direction, I saw that the direction of the Qing army's camp had been going south out of the camp, approaching in the direction of Ningyuan City, with more than 10,000 riders and halfs, and carrying baggage.

Could it be that the Qing army is going to attack the city tonight, this is too anxious, Chang Yu's eyes narrowed into a line, and he couldn't understand it.

Boom, boom, boom, the artillery on Ningyuan City erupted again, and more than a dozen artillery bombardments were fired in a row, and the Qing army that had just approached the trench and tried to cross the line immediately became chaotic and stopped and retreated.

Wu Sangui blockaded the north with trenches and artillery, and he had to pay a heavy price if he wanted to step further.

Unexpectedly, this group of men and horses did not hesitate too much, and directly turned around and ran westward, Chang Yu frowned, and quietly drilled out of the observation post and climbed towards the peak.

The twilight is heavy, there are trees on the top of the peak, hidden in it and outsiders are not seen, a few people step on the snow and hum for a long time and finally reach the top, rubbing to the west, carefully hiding behind the trees to look, see that the vanguard of the centaur has gone around to the west side of Heifeng Mountain and is running south.

It turned out that he didn't enter Xishan, Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

But what was the intention of this Qing army?

The little eunuch didn't know for a while, so he had to watch them go around the West Mountain to the south, and then go south on the official road.

This group of men and horses bypassed Ningyuan City and went south, and since they went to the Zhonghou Institute, Dolgon played the old trick again, and broke off!

Cool snort, cool snort,...... A group of Qing army spies, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walked in the mountain road, looking left and right, looking cautious, and the messy footprints in front of them were unusually clear, these were left by their colleagues before.

Now, they walked again, this time they were ordered to enter the mountain and climb the peak, and touch it all!

After walking for a mile, the footprints were gone, and the leader of the team sneered at the corner of his mouth: "This is how these grandsons make mistakes, and they can detect a fart."

By this time it was already dark and their vision was blocked, so they took torches and lit them, and the leader signaled to move on, and the spies were even more cautious, drawing their swords and unsheathing them, and striking on their guard.

After another half a mile, the sky was completely dark, the thorns in front were denser, and it was no longer possible, the leader ordered his subordinates to clear the road, and several Qing soldiers went to cut with knives, but they were almost knocked down by a flash, and the thorns blocking the road were unexpectedly picked open.

Everyone was startled, picked up a tree to the firelight, and suddenly their faces changed greatly.

These thorns were not born in place at all, but were cut off and thrown here from elsewhere, and the traces were covered by the wind and snow, and the knife edge was very new!

That illustrates......

Everyone looked at the dark mountain road with fear on their faces.
