Although Zhu Cixiang never showed up on the battlefield, the Ming army kept reporting every three hours at night, so the battle situation on various battlefields in Songjin was under Zhu Cixiang's control.

Huang Taiji dug up Rufeng Mountain like a big bunker, and deployed all the troops of the two yellow flags in Jinzhou and Rufeng Mountain.

The defeated Jiannu in Songshan and Tashan also retreated to Rufeng Mountain. Since then, the number of Jiannu on Rufeng Mountain has increased. After several battles, their strength has not decreased but increased.

The Jiannu Hands also had various artillery and Vulcan guns. Not to mention the heavy casualties suffered by the ordinary Ming army, even if the National Guard Army attacked Rufeng Mountain, they would also suffer heavy losses.

Zhu Cihong would never agree to let Zhu Cixi use all the National Protector Army to attack Rufeng Mountain. The National Protector Army is his direct descendant and his support. Zhu Cihong will never let the National Protector Army get into danger easily.

He would definitely leave this kind of dangerous and dirty work to the Jiubian Ming Army, but he didn't have any hope for the border troops to conquer Rufeng Mountain.

Therefore, when Li Fuming and Wang Tingchen were defeated and injured, Zhu Cihong was not surprised at all. On the contrary, the death of the fleeing general Ma Ke made Zhu Cixiang look at him differently.

Subsequently, reports were received that Yang Guozhu and He Renlong Gaojie broke through a defensive line, but failed to hold it and were quickly repelled by Jian Nu.

After Wu Sangui and Liu Zhaoji died in the battle, the two armies launched a fierce offensive towards Rufeng Mountain and broke through three Jiannu lines of defense. They were later repelled by Jiannu's red cannons.

Almost at the same time, battle reports from Songshan and Tashan came. Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong were heading towards Rufeng Mountain after defeating Jiannu.

However, the white flag of Jiannu Xiang who attacked Xingshan has not been moved. No one can guess what Prince Duduo of Jiannu Yu wants to do?

Zhu Cixiang paid special attention to Wu Sangui. He found that Wu Sangui was not as fierce as written in history. He seemed to have not tried his best in the two battles against Jiannu.

In the first battle of Liaodong, Wu Sangui slacked off in the rescue, which resulted in Li Fuming's army being almost wiped out. Li Fuming himself was injured and almost died in the battle in Liaodong.

In the second battle, Ma Ke and Wang Tingchen led his troops in front of Wu Sangui. As a result, Ma Ke died in the battle, Wang Tingchen was injured, and the two armies were defeated and retreated.

After two battles, although the seven generals also achieved a series of small victories, Shanhaiguan General Mark was killed and Wang Tingchen was seriously injured.

The seven generals who attacked Rufeng Mountain suffered three casualties in three days, including Shanhaiguan General Ma Ke who died in the battle.

It can be said that all the soldiers who fought in front of Wu Sangui were either dead or injured. So far, no one of the soldiers has been able to escape unscathed in front of him.

Why are other generals dead or injured, but Wu Sangui is still safe and sound, and even his Ningyuan Army has suffered very few casualties?

Is it because Wu Sangui and Ning Yuan's army have explosive combat effectiveness? Of course not, it can only be said that Wu Sangui played the most conservative way and has always preserved his strength so far.

If Wu Sangui had gone all out, Li Fuming's army would never have been wiped out, and the nearly 20,000 troops in Shanhaiguan and Qiantun would have been defeated.

If Zhu Cixiang was commanding at Rufeng Mountain and Wu Sangui dared to conserve his strength and his brothers' troops were defeated miserably, Zhu Cixiang would definitely chop off his head.

It is absolutely ridiculous for the Liaodong warlords to think that the liberation of Liaodong cannot be achieved without their Guan Ning army.

Zhu Cihong put down the battle report, looked at Li Fang and asked:

"What are the actions of Sun Chuanting's department?"

Li Fang Li Fang bowed and answered:

"Reporting to your majesty, Mr. Sun has made preparations to destroy Duduo and Xiangbaiqi in Xingshan, but Duduo has kept the camp closed and refused to fight!"

After Zhu Cixiang heard this, he thought for a moment and said:

"It is said that apart from Huang Taiji, the strongest person in Jiannu is Dorgon. However, the situation seems to be a little different now. Duduo seems to be more cunning. Who is the leader of the Han army with the white flag?"

Li Fang, the captain of the Ye Bu Shou team, quickly bowed and said:

"Reporting to your majesty, the Han army with the white flag on Gushan'e is really the traitorous general Kong Youde..."

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"Jiannu's firearms all depended on the troops brought by Kong Youde. Now it seems that the strongest among the Eight Banners should be the Bordered White Banner, not the Zhenghuang Banner or the Bordered White Banner."

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he asked Zhou Yuji, the commander of the Shenwu Army who was standing aside:

"I asked you to send a group of troops to Rufeng Mountain quietly to watch the battle. Where are they now?"

Zhou Yuji hurriedly handed over his hands and replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, I sent two thousand generals to Rufeng Mountain yesterday. The current location is not far from where Ma Ke died in the battle."

Zhu Cixiang nodded slightly, looked at Emperor Chongzhen next to him, and suddenly said with a cold tone:

"Pass an order to Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong to send troops to Rufeng Mountain immediately! Wait for my orders at any time.

The artillery and preparations for combat, and the air force all took to the air, pointed out the direction for the Royal Artillery Battalion to attack the slave artillery.

After everything was ready, they immediately launched a general attack on Rufeng Mountain. Before that, the Ming army continued to attack at the foot of Rufeng Mountain.

Even if they can't conquer Rufeng Mountain, they still have to consume their energy to prepare for the subsequent war."

"According to the order!"

Emperor Shenwu gave the order, and all departments of the Ming army took action immediately.

Later, Zhu Cihong sent someone to deliver a message to Zhu Chenggong and Huang Fei.

The navy was ordered to send small warships into the Nuer River, Xiaoling River and other rivers near Jinzhou.

Their mission is simple, destroy all bridges on the river and attack ships crossing the river.

Before the Ming army crosses the river, the navy will prohibit all ships from crossing the river.

Once Huang Taiji failed at Rufeng Mountain, he would definitely flee back with the remaining defeated soldiers.

Zhu Cixiang would not let Huang Taiji cross the river easily, hoping to capture Huang Taiji in Rufeng Mountain.

The order was passed on, and they only waited for the arrival of the army led by Sun Yingyuan and Huang De, and immediately launched a general attack on Rufeng Mountain.

Rufeng Mountain

In order to observe the situation of the Ming army and the slaves at close range, the Shenwu Army guerrilla general and Qian Zongmaan led 2,000 people into Rufeng Mountain early yesterday morning.

When the Shanhaiguan and Qiantun tribes were fighting fiercely against Jiannu, Yang Bao saw everything clearly through a telescope, but they were unable to support them due to the distance.

The army was defeated like a mountain. After Ma Ke's army was surrounded and finally died in battle, nearly 10,000 Shanhaiguan and Qiantun soldiers immediately started to flee.

Wu Sangui hurriedly sent 2,000 men to meet them, but the troops he sent were directly routed and disrupted.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Sangui was so frightened that he no longer dared to send troops, so he could only strictly guard the military formation to prevent the Jiannu cavalry from suddenly coming down the mountain.

Looking at the earth, at this time, on one side is a tightly organized military formation, and on the other side is the fleeing Ming army all over the mountains and plains.

There were also many screaming and restless civilians among them.

That's what it means to be defeated like a mountain.

Because Jiannu immediately and deliberately intercepted and blocked the crowd, he created the illusion that he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there seemed to be only a few ways to escape.

Those broken soldiers, cavalry, infantry, and civilians were mixed together, which greatly slowed down everyone's running speed.

There were so many people huddled together in a chaotic mess, and whenever someone fell down, they would be immediately trampled on by countless big feet, and they would be trampled into a pulp amidst howling sounds.

No one could care about them, and everyone was focused on their own escape, especially when the slaves were constantly outflanking and killing them.

Behind them, there were Qing cavalry driving them from time to time. As long as they escaped a little slowly, waves of Qing cavalry would rush towards them, trample them to the ground, and stab them to death.

Any officer who tries to restore the command structure will be the key target of the outflanking Qing cavalry.

And in the midst of all the crying and shouting, any sound they made was in vain.

In fear, countless people only knew how to run as hard as they could, and many people ran to death like this.

Even some of the horses that were routed were spitting white water at the mouth and couldn't stand it.

When Yang Bao saw this, he was furious. More than a thousand slaves actually pursued and killed nearly ten thousand Ming troops. It was simply unreasonable.

Seeing the defeated troops rushing over, Yang Bao immediately issued an order:

"Brothers, we can't let Jian Nu kill our Chinese soldiers at will. The cavalry goes out to kill Jian Nu with muskets, and the infantry goes down to form a circular formation..."

Yang Bao, the guerrilla general of the Shenwu Army, gave the order and the infantry immediately began to form a formation.

With the execution ability of the Shenwu Army, the formation was quickly completed.

Yang Bao and the others had just finished setting up their formation, when hundreds of defeated soldiers roared and rushed towards the formation as if they had seen their own father.

However, they all forgot that it is taboo for broken troops to charge head-on into the military formation.

The common practice is that they should go around the military formation on both sides, otherwise they will be greeted by the ruthless sound of musketry.

At this time, the defeated troops were chased by Jian Nu, and they were already panicking and had no choice but to choose their way...

"Retreat from both wings. Those who rush into the battle will be killed without mercy. Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Amidst the explosions, thick white smoke rose up, and several soldiers in front were killed. The soldiers behind were shocked and hurriedly rushed over from both wings.

"Kill the thief!"

Yang Bao gave an order, and hundreds of gunmen pulled the triggers on the chasing Jiannu.

"Bang bang bang..."

Dozens of people were shot and killed in an instant, with lead bullets hitting their bodies. Blood spurted out and they fell to the ground screaming.

After several waves of gunfire, they killed all the Jiannu cavalry who were chasing after them. The soldiers behind them woke up and immediately howled and fled to both sides.

In this way, some Qing cavalry who were chasing them were exposed, and the Shenwu Army immediately greeted him with the most enthusiastic lead bullets.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Cavalry attack, kill!"
