Chapter 827: The Eve of the War

Before Dolgon could finish speaking, he had just pulled the reins of his horse and turned his horse's head when a "boom" was heard in the direction of the old fort to the east.

Everyone was startled, and the war horse neighed a little restlessly, and Dolgon hurriedly tightened his horse and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not good, it should be the Wei thief who came to seize the old fort!" Shi Tingzhu exclaimed.

Dolgon immediately waved his horsewhip and urged his horse to gallop, and many Qing generals followed closely behind him, and soon came to the east, just in time to see nearly 100 Qing troops, driven out of the old fort by a force of more than 2,000 Wei dragoons.

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

"It's late, let the Wei thief snatch it." Bolo exclaimed.

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

The Wei army was strong in firearms, and the earthen walls of the fortress could withstand the attacks of the Wei army, and if the Qing army occupied the fortress, it could send an elite army to garrison it, and arrange artillery to hide in the cavalry. The soldiers and horses in the east of the Wei army want to attack the flank of the Qing army, and the Qing army in the fort can bombard the Wei army, and the cavalry can also take advantage of the situation to kill.

Dolgon's face was gloomy, and he looked at the two low hills on both sides of Hengshan Fort, "You are in charge of the eastern line of Shitingzhu, you send people to seize both sides of the fortress immediately, and you will definitely recapture this fort tomorrow." ”

"Wow! Minions take orders! Shi Tingzhu's expression was a little solemn, and he hurriedly saluted.

Dolgon calmly said with a calm face: "Is there any danger on the Western Front, Bayan, you will immediately increase the troops of this king and seize it!" ”

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

Dolgon glanced at Yokoyama Fort and pulled the reins of his horse, "Go to the west!" ”

The terrain on the west side is actually the same as on the east side, and the two sides together resemble a large river, with two embankments on both sides and a riverbed in the middle.

Now Dolgon's main force is like a big water in a river, Gao Yihuan is like a dam to barrage a river, and the Wei army on both flanks is like a mudslide that will wash down the river embankment.

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

Dolgon glanced at it and saw that the scouts of the Qing army and the Wei army were fighting within a radius of more than ten miles, and said to the people around him: "The key to tomorrow's battle is to break through the Wei thieves on the front and defeat the Gao barbarians. This king will put most of the elite troops in front, but the two wings are also very important to the entire battle situation, and they must be held on and not affect the attack of the front army. As long as the king breaks through the Wei thieves in the front, he can use the power of the horse army to cover and kill the Gao barbarians, rush forward, cut off the Wei thieves' grain routes and escape roads, and destroy the main force of the Wei army in one battle. ”

"The regent is wise, we have a lot of soldiers, and the Wei thieves have few soldiers, two defenses and one attack, if we can concentrate superior forces, we will definitely be able to defeat the Wei thieves." Shi Tingzhu, Bayan and others will be busy.

Dolgon, however, took the reins of his horse and continued onward, observing the terrain, knowing every detail of the battlefield.

~~~~~~

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

In the east of Hengshan Fort, Shi Tingzhu organized men and horses to carry out a medium-scale sneak attack, the eastern front flickered with flames, the flames burst out, and the battle was extremely fierce.

The small cavalry of the Qing army was interspersed at the junction of the eastern, western and southern fronts, and the gap between the central army and the two wings of the Wei army, which caused great pressure on the Wei army.

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

In the dark night, in the wilderness near Xinkou, the sound of guns sounded sporadically, and the two sides did not have any rules, but they created pressure on the other party.

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

"Dingguo, you said that if there is no lone king in this world, will the Manchus dominate the world and steal artifacts?" Gao Yihuan suddenly asked.

Li Dingguo turned his head and glanced at Gao Yihuan, isn't this Cao Cao's sentence "Let there be no loneliness in the world, I don't know how many people will be called kings and how many people will be called emperors?"

"I think it's very possible!" Seeing Gao Yihuan's small expression, Li Dingguo was silent for a moment, but he still said very cooperatively, it was not good not to give Gao Yihuan face. Moreover, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs to sweep away Li Zicheng and swept the north, and the Southern Ming Dynasty was indeed not the opponent of the Manchu Qing, nor was the Western Army, without the rise of the Wei army in the Central Plains and curbing the momentum of the Manchu Qing, what the world was like, whether the Manchu Qing had swept the world, it is really hard to say.

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

Gao Yihuan was very happy when he heard this, this was the recognition of the famous general, and he smiled: "Lone also thinks so." The lonely king descended from the sky, that is, the lonely king turned the tide, drove away the Tartars, swept away the filth, and revitalized the mountains and rivers of the Han family. ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan looked at the Qing camp, and his eyes were suddenly full of determination, "Order all the armies, act according to the plan tomorrow, let the vanguard battalion make a move in the second half of the night, attack the Tartar camp, pay attention to the movements of the Tartars, and prepare for a decisive battle." ”

Li Dingguo immediately hugged his fists and said, "Yes!" ”

After he finished saluting, he went to prepare, Gao Yihuan looked at the Qing army camp in the distance, and muttered: "The lonely king is the chosen son, with a mission, and he will be defeated tomorrow." ”

In the Qing army camp, Dolgon, who had observed the surrounding terrain, also couldn't sleep, he was actually more nervous than Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan was defeated, and there was still a chance to escape back to Guanzhong, but if he lost, everything would be over.

Dolgon's eyes were fixed on the camp of the Ming army in the light, the camp of the Qing army and the Ming army, like two nearby nebulae in the dark universe.

"We'll see you tomorrow!" Dolgon looked ahead, his eyes flickering, "This battle, if you don't win, you will die!" ”

Bolo can see from Dolgon's arrangement that in this battle, Dolgon did not leave a way back, and the Qing army failed, that is, the whole army was wiped out.

If the Wei army cannot be defeated, even if the Qing army retreats, it will no longer be of much significance, and at most it will last for a long time.

"The regent will definitely be able to defeat the Wei thief, kill Gao Yihuan, and recover Hedong in one fell swoop, then my Qing Dynasty will still be able to dominate the north. At that time, it will at least maintain the situation of Jin, Southern Song Dynasty, and Western Xia. Bolo said firmly.

Dorgon smiled, "Bolo, you're right, this battle is the king's Sarhu. ”

Saying that, Dolgon's face became serious, "Tomorrow, this king hopes that you can defeat the Wei thief with the belief that you will win to the death, if anyone can kill Gao Yihuan, the lord will be promoted to the third level, and the highest king." ”

"Wow!" Many Qing generals saluted in unison, and at this moment, a few "whoosh" sounds came from the sky in the distance, and a few crooked rockets were raised and shot towards the Qing military camp.

Dolgon's eyes narrowed, and Bolo next to him immediately explained in a deep voice: "It's the Wei army's rocket." ”

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

At this time, the small group of soldiers of the Wei army began to attack and harass the Qing army, and in the dark wilderness, occasionally a ball of fire broke out, dragging out the usual trails, falling into the Qing army's camp, igniting the camp tent, causing a panic.

Approaching the big battle, the soldiers must have been sleepless in the first half of the night, and only had the opportunity to barely fall asleep in the second half of the night, but the Wei army seized this point and attacked and harassed, affecting the rest of the Qing army, thus consuming the sharp energy of the Qing army.
