After listening to Chen Xin's words, the stone pressed on Zachdan's heart was relieved.

At the beginning, he did have a little fear of the force he was facing now, and after adding the number of hundreds of thousands, the total number of people had reached nearly 200,000 horses, and such a large Houjin army.

After all, this was the largest battle the Huaxia Army had encountered since its establishment.

I still remember that during the Xuanjun period, the largest battle encountered was the first anti-encirclement campaign led by Chen Xin himself. At that time, all they needed to face was an army of 80,000.

That time, if Chen Xin hadn't personally gone to the fortress at the forefront and acted as a bait to firmly attract the enemy army to the country, I am afraid that the nascent kingdom power would no longer exist at that time.

Now, although the situation is not as urgent as it was at the beginning, the size of the enemy is a little too large.

In particular, this time it was Dolgon himself who personally led the troops, and that was the person who was praised by Huang Taiji as a wise king.

Who is Huang Taiji? In the past, the name Nurhachi was like a demon king, deeply imprinted in the heart of Zachdan, who had been a tartar Aha, and always influenced him.

Huang Taiji, whether it is external or internal, has done far more than Nurhachi, the devil who only knows how to kill, and is feared by all the forces around Houjin.

Dolgon's ability to be so praised by Huang Taiji and knighted as the wise king is enough to imagine Dolgon's ability.

Therefore, after he determined that the Jin army arrived outside Jinzhou City, he issued an order for all the troops to retreat and clear the wall, and gave up the defense time of the second and third fortresses as quickly as possible, reducing the time required to delay as stipulated in the plan that had been formulated long ago.

Now, after he listened to what Chen Xin said, his heart knot seemed to be opened all at once. He closed his eyes and thought about it, didn't the Houjin generals who were touted as invincible generals all killed and captured alive by his own side. There were even banner owners like Mang Gurtai who voluntarily surrendered.

What makes Zachdan especially remember is that in the later battle of Daling River, Chen Xin personally led the troops, braved the snow in the middle of the night, and killed Huang Taiji in the enemy's camp.

On this real battlefield, Huang Taiji was killed, so what was the use of Dolgon's reputation. The current kingdom is like a rising sun, dispelling the dense clouds of Liaodong.

Chen Xin used the telescope to observe the opposite side again, the artillery of the Houjin Army on the opposite side was in the process of evacuating, with the artillery technology of this era, the artillery on the opposite side could not fire until it was fixed.

Chen Xin thought for a while, and ordered the adjutant next to him: "Choose a good place and put my royal flag high." ”

The royal flag was slowly raised, the huge and bright red flag was hunting and fluttering in the sea breeze, and the soldiers stationed on the wall of the southern city of Lushun were the first to discover the banner of Chen Xinwang, and they immediately cheered loudly.

This is the middle area of the entire front, all the soldiers can see this royal flag, the entire Lushun defense line is a thunderous look, the cheers of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army can be said to be like a rainbow.

Chen Xin was under the royal flag, enjoying the cheers like ocean waves, listening carefully to the hearts of the soldiers, but his eyes were looking at the location of the Houjin army formation in the distance.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a low smile, "Dolgon, I have already told you, and I am waiting for you here."

In this situation, with your mature heart, which is far from being as mature as Huang Taiji, I am afraid that you will not be able to pull down your skin and retreat.

Come on, come on, it's time to fight hard, I'm waiting for you! ”

·····················

"Boom ······" At the same time as a loud bang was heard, a red glow suddenly exploded under the mountain, and in the flickering light, two figures were thrown into the air.

The flames of the muzzles of the earthen walls flickered, interspersed with the flames of scattered rifle fire.

Then they threw torches from inside the trench. In the distance, on the second rammed earth wall, in front of several reflective devices composed of small mirrors, were also lit with fire, and one after another, which was already very bright in this era, rushed straight to the front of the position.

Under these means, in front of the position in the distance, the soldiers of the Houjin Army who were reflected by the light were eliminated one by one by the soldiers of the Huaxia Army hiding in the trench.

Guan Muer carefully lay on the ground and did not move, he heard a shout of the Huaxia army from the mountain, and then several torches came out of their heads, and fell down the mountainside in mid-air.

Behind Guan Muer, hundreds of soldiers who had been specially selected to make a living from hunting in Houjin were also quietly hidden in the night, and no one made a sound.

This is Xiguan Mountain, in fact, Dolgon, Yue Tuo and others have been eyeing this place from the beginning, even if they know that this place is not easy to fight, but they are still paying attention to this place.

It's just that after testing the defensive strength of this place, Dolgon deliberately let this place go, hoping to make the Huaxia army on this mountain relax their vigilance, so that they can take this place in one go.

A 10-pound mountain howitzer company on Xiguan Mountain, the four mountain grenades that were not yet organized were fired at the Houjin Army array below the mountain every day.

Each mountain grenade fires at least 200 shells per day, and this number would have doubled several times if it weren't for the difficulty of transporting supplies from the top of the mountain and the need to store a certain amount of ammunition at each gun position.

The mountaintop was able to strike enemy troops within a 2,000-metre radius with artillery fire, which forced the Houjin army to move their camp a distance to the north, and they had to walk two kilometres each day before attacking.

If Xiguan Mountain can be conquered, then the Houjin Army will be able to observe the defense work and troop movement of the Huaxia Army on the top of the mountain, and even the military camp will no longer need to be placed so far away.

However, from the previous exploratory attacks of the Houjin army, it is known that in the face of the dense firing points, trenches, breastwork, fortresses, artillery emplacements and other defensive facilities on the mountain, as well as the support of the Huaxia army that can come at any time, it is almost an impossible task to seize this hill during the day.

If you want to capture that mountain, in addition to spending a lot of lives to fill it in, the only way is to attack at night.
