Chapter 36: Just die!

Songshan Fort exploded.

Songshan Fort, which is only 5 miles in radius, was almost overturned under the ravage of 100,000 kilograms of gunpowder.

The smoke from the gunpowder explosion had not yet dissipated, and the raging fire began to burn on the remains of Songshan Fort again. After Fei Yanggu escaped from Songshan Fort, he could not hear a word in the face of Dorgon's scolding.

Seeing the war horses falling on the pine trees, Dorgon stopped scolding Fei Yanggu. He began to worry about Huang Taiji thirty miles away. However, he still thought that the cannons would be brought out from Songshan Fort first. After all, such an explosion would not be able to damage all the cannons.

Hong Chengchou left all the gunpowder in Songshan Fort.

The people of Lantian were asking the people to buy and sell gunpowder for the court at will. Hong Chengchou's army was short of money, food, war horses, and even clothes, but there was no shortage of gunpowder...

When he stepped back, the artillery was naturally not allowed to be carried, so after he ordered the cannons and the eyes of the fire to pour the iron into the cannon barrels and the cannons here turned into scrap iron.

After discovering that all the cannons in Songshan Fort had been scrapped, Dorgon then brought a small amount of troops to chase Hong Chengchou. At this time, it had been an hour and a half since Hong Chengchou left Songshan Fort.

"Catch Huang Taiji alive and be the general!"

Faced with the obstruction of Huang Taiji's Huang Banner troops, Hong Chengchou gave up his command position and charged towards Huang Taiji's main formation in the army.

Seeing his subordinates killing and injured, Hong Chengchou shouted in the chaos.

He deeply understood that if Huang Taiji could not be killed in this battle, even if he returned to the pass, he would still be unable to escape death.

After so long, God treated him well and finally gave him a good chance to kill Huang Taiji.

In the sky, arrows were like locusts, and in the middle, muskets and cannons were densely packed like rain.

"Crash, kill Huang Taiji and get a reward of ten thousand taels!"

Seeing that Yang Guozhu was shot and fell off his horse, Hong Chengchou bit his teeth, and rode his horse away from his personal guards, drawing out his sword. This time, he was about to get on himself.

Wu Sangui, who was already rushing on the front line, suddenly found Hong Chengchou appearing in the front, and howled in pain, rode his horse out of the formation. Guanning Iron Cavalry followed his back to avoid the musketeers of the Jiannu Central Army, and pierced into the Jiannu flank.

Faced with the crazy assault from the Ming army, 10,000 people from Huangtaiji's Zhenghuang Banner were waiting for battle.

Facing the advancement of Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, there was no scene of people in Jianzhou yelling, no noise of war drums and thunder, only the whistle and sound of war flags fluttering in the wind and the majestic and murderous atmosphere.

Under the black dragon chasing sun flag of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji sat upright on a high hill holding a telescope to look at the battlefield. He was surrounded by more than 20 generals and dozens of commanders, and there were thousands of guards around the hills, with red tassels and spears standing in neatly, facing the outside.

When Huang Taiji saw a storm of his troops rushing into his flank, he quickly stormed the military formation and advanced rapidly, he said to Yue Tuo beside him: "This should be the last bit of blood of the Guanning Iron Cavalry?"

Yue Tuo said: "The opponents who deserve respect, but they are destined to die here today."

Huang Taiji looked at the head of Hong Chengchou, who was also advancing, and said, "Hong Chengchou is not a strong man. Since he has already seen through Dorgon's plan, why do he still have to make a desperate bet?"

Yue Tuo shook his head and said, "I don't know this."

Huang Taiji looked at Yue Tuo, who looked down at the ground and said, "Don't you dare to say it? OK, I say, he is betting that Dorgon won't attack him from behind immediately."

Yue Tuo closed his eyes and said nothing.

Huang Taiji wiped a trace of blood from his nose and sighed, "He won the bet."

After saying that, he stood up, sorted out his armor and said to Yue Tuo: "Hong Chengchou thought that I had been emperor for a long time and had forgotten how to fight. That is, today, let him see that I am still the bravest Huang Taiji of the three armies!

Oboi! Drive for me!"

A giant man with thick hair like a black bear came out, jumped onto a war horse, waved the mace in his hand, and led a cavalry straight to the place where the Hong Chengchou flag appeared.

Before Huang Taiji could take off his horse, Yuetuo and Du Du looked at each other and jumped onto the war horse and went down the hillside.

Seeing that the three people left, Huang Taiji was no longer busy. He sat back on a wide chair, holding a telescope in one hand to check the situation on the battlefield.

As the three men entered the battlefield with their personal guards, the shaking battle line that had been hit by Hong Chengchou slowly stabilized.

Seeing that his subordinates were repelled by Jiannu, Liu Jie, a powerful general under Hong Chengchou, concentrated more than 20 musketeers. After firing, he tied up two white-armored soldiers that were blocking their advance into honeycombs. He then held up his shield and jumped up from the small hillside and broke a hole.

Immediately, his subordinates followed suit.

When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, amid the shrill sound of "whimpering", the baby's arms were scattered down. The Ming soldiers who were hit by the crossbow bed arrows, no matter what kind of shield they held, pierced through their bodies and died without exception.

"Scatter, spread..." Liu Jie shouted desperately, and took the lead in placing the shield on his body and leaning to the ground.

The attacking soldiers dispersed amid the shouts of the officers, and Jiannu's crossbow's lethality was greatly reduced.

However, as soon as they climbed the hillside, Jiannu's feather arrows fell from the sky again. The dense and precise feathers caused hundreds of Ming troops to fall to the ground. The remaining people began to retreat one after another, and they retreated in the first attack.

As soon as Liu Jie pulled out the feather arrow inserted on his shoulder, he saw the commander of the general's personal soldiers, Hong Zhong, crossing his side. When the two passed by, Hong Zhong took off two grenades from his chest and patted him, and then continued to run towards the hill.

After a horn sounded, there was a sudden shout of killing, and Jiannu's arrow stone sprayed down again.

Hong Chengchou's two hundred personal guards approached the foot of the mountain under the cover of the shield, and the Ming army musketeers and Jiannu crossbowmen at the foot of the mountain shot against each other.

Under their cover, Jiannu's crossbowman's shooting accuracy was greatly reduced. As he was about to climb halfway up the mountain, countless black shadows stood up from behind the shield and threw the grenade onto the top of the mountain.

Jiannu's crossbowman was shocked and retreated in a hurry. For a moment, fire was everywhere, black smoke rolled, and military flags turned into ashes. Jiannu's crossbowman was all blown upside down.

Seeing this, Liu Jie quickly led his subordinates around the hill, and in front of him was the outer wall fence of Huangtaijiying Village.

Some soldiers holding heavy weapons quickly hammered the fence.

After a short time, the long fence was smashed into gaps one after another. The soldiers on both sides held swords, guns and shields, squeezed into the gaps.

You retreat and I advance, fight repeatedly, and fight together. In this kind of decisive battle, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger. If you fight against the dragon and tiger, you will die. The loser falls to the ground and is repeatedly trampled by later people, and the winner may follow in the footsteps of the next moment.

"I am Oboi! If you are not afraid of death, come up!"

Oboi actually jumped into the Ming army group from the fence with a mace in his hand. While screaming, he waved the mace to smash the Ming soldiers surrounded by the gap to death.

The reputation of Oboi's murderer king has long been known to the Ming army in the past two years. At this time, the Ming soldiers saw that he was indeed as brave as the legend, and that all the people in front of him were killed by him, so they all avoided him.

A moment later, two Ming soldiers suffered a stroke, three of them left the queue and fled backwards, and some people followed them to escape...

A grenade exploded at Oboi's feet. This strong man like a giant bear was covered in blood after the explosion, but he still pounded his chest with both hands and shouted. Even when Liu Jie saw this, he did not dare to take a step forward.

Just as Liu Jie was about to throw another grenade over, a group of Jiannu soldiers rushed up, four or five people dragged Oboi and left, while the other group rushed towards Liu Jie and others.

"Those who dare to retreat will die!"

Liu Jie waved his sword and killed a soldier who had already thrown away the spear in his hand. He stepped forward to fight. Long before he set out, the commander had already said that Xia Chengde's betrayal exposed all the weaknesses of Songshan Fort. Songshan Fort could not be defended. If everyone wanted to return to the pass alive, they could only fight to the death.

Liu Jie began to fight desperately, and his subordinates had always trusted Liu Jie and followed one after another, so a more tragic battle began.

During the melee, some used guns, some used knives, and some used hammers, picks, stabs, chops, and smashes. They went into battle at the same time, and fought desperately.

Some have too many differences in strength, and one move determines life and death; some are evenly matched and closely tied up; some are fighting each other, and they don’t let go of their hands. Even if they fall down on the snow together, they bit their opponents tightly; some are both injured and fall in a pool of blood. While exhausted, they still look at each other fiercely, trying to seize the opportunity to cut the last knife, killing the opponent...

Before Songshan, war broke out, and the Ming army, without artillery, fought with Jiannu in the field.

This is not the result Hong Chengchou wanted. He hoped that Huang Taiji would retreat when his army was pressing. However, until now, Huang Taiji's black dragon sun-chasing flag is still flying not far away.

Hong Chengchou could even see Huang Taiji's appearance in the telescope.

I just received a report from the scout that Dorgon's troops were already ten miles away.

Hong Chengchou looked at Chen Dong, who was eating beans and said, "Did Bai Yintu, Yingerdai, and Korqin Tu Xietu's troops come?"

Chen Dong said: "Korqin Tuxitu's men did not come, and the other two have already arrived on your left. To be honest, you are lucky. You are Yintu and Yingerdai. These two people did not block your way to Xingshan. They thought that if Korqin Tuxitu was blocked, you would not go to Xingshan anymore.

So just lie on your only left road.”

Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "Since that's the case, let's go to Xingshan now, and you go and open the way for me!"

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment and said, "What's your business to do with me?"

Hong Chengchou pointed to the Ming army soldiers who were still fighting fiercely and said, "Do you think the county magistrate think so?"

Chen Dong roared, "We're leaving, you'll die in Liaodong."
