Chapter 502
At dawn, the camps of the Qing army and the coalition forces gradually became noisy.
The soldiers of both armies were eating breakfast quickly. The soldiers of the coalition army took a pancake and steamed bun from the head army, and gathered outside the camp while eating.
More than 100,000 troops came out of the camp silently, and sat together amid the sound of assembled horns, listening to the command and instructors, mobilizing before the war.
At this time, Zhao Ming was wearing silver armor, a phoenix-winged helmet on his head, a three-foot-long red feather, and a big red cloak. He began to ride a horse and wander around various formations majestic. Wherever he passed, the soldiers of the coalition stood up one after another, saluted and shouted: "Master!" "Leading the rule!" "Father Lord!"
The 120,000 coalition forces were distributed from east to west, spreading throughout the wilderness.
From east to west, the coalition forces were nearly 80,000 Korean minions, 10,000 Japanese light-footed samurai, 20,000 Green Camp surrendered troops, and 10,000 elite Ming troops.
From the perspective of military distribution, the elite of the Ming army was mainly concentrated in the plains to the west.
Zhao Ming inspected from east to west, lifted his whip all the way, greeted the Korean minion army, Japanese light-footed samurai, and green camp surrendered troops, and finally pulled the horse before 10,000 elite Ming troops.
According to convention, before the soldiers of Donghai Town fought, there were instructors to mobilize before the war, and today Zhao Ming gave a lecture himself.
At this time, Zhao Ming pulled his horse and stood in front of the army. Suddenly he raised his horse whip and the soldiers in front of him who were like chessboards were immediately quiet.
"Since the Liao incident, Jiannu has been acting violent for thirty-six years!" Zhao Ming suddenly shouted loudly.
When the Ming army soldiers heard the words, they held their weapons tightly, with a serious expression and a stern killing.
Zhao Ming glanced at the soldiers and shouted angrily: "For decades, Jiannu first slaughtered three million of my comrades in Liao, and then six of them attacked the pass and captured millions of my fathers as slaves. During the Jiashen Incident, the slave took advantage of my siege and invaded the Central Plains, slaughtered my parents, and tyrannized my wife, daughters and sisters. The Central Plains were full of fishy smells, and the Han family was not in good condition. All of this was my personal experience. I always thought about it, and I couldn't sleep at night."
Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers were silent and silent. Zhao Ming's words evoked memories of many people and recalled the sufferings they suffered over the past few decades.
Most of the soldiers in Donghai Town were refugees caused by the Qing Dynasty invasion. Zhao Ming's words aroused their inner hatred.
At this time, Zhao Ming saw that many soldiers had red eyes and held their weapons slightly tightened, so he continued, "Jiannu has caused trouble to the world for more than 30 years, and people and gods have been angry. In the past thirty-six years, Jiannu rushed into western Liaoning from outside the pass, Shanhaiguan from western Liaoning, entered into the pass, and then swept the entire north from Beijing, and drank the Yangtze River. Over the years, Jiannu has been attacking us constantly, and we can only retreat again and again. I am deeply embarrassed. Today, I am gathered here with you to tell Jiannu that there are still people in the world that Donghai Town will not retreat!"
"Don't retreat!" In the military formation, the Ming soldiers suddenly shouted loudly, and the soldiers shouted closely.
Zhao Ming and other soldiers shouted for a while, and their morale was mobilized. Only then did Yang Qi raise his arms again to stop the roar of the soldiers and said with a solemn expression: "For decades, it has been heard that Jiannu has invaded the enemy and invaded the south. No Han army has attacked Jiannu in the north. During the Han and Tang dynasties, our great Han generals rushed the Huns in the north, sealed the wolf Juxu, and tied the stone Yanran, how heroic it was. Now, our soldiers in the East China Sea not only do not retreat, but also attacked Jiannu in the north, avenged revenge and avenged the previous shame!"
Zhao Ming shouted in a deep voice, "Today's battle will attract attention from the world. I hope that the soldiers will encourage me to attack Huanglong and recreate the power of my Han army. The heroic spirit of my soldiers during the war!"
"Avenge revenge and attack Huanglong!" The soldiers of various battalions of the Ming army raised their weapons and responded to Zhao Ming, and the entire army was in full bloom.
Amid the shocking shouts of killing, Zhao Ming held his helmet, sat upright on his horse, then raised his whip, and suddenly shouted, "Go!"
The sun rose from the east, and the light spreads across the earth. Amid the sounds of horns, red square formations began to spread out on the earth. With the sound of stepping and drums, they took neat steps and advanced towards their respective battlefields.
The Ming army had three thousand iron cavalry running out first, drove away the Qing army's whistle cavalry, occupied the battlefield, and guarded against the Qing cavalry's raiding the Ming army.
When the elite Ming army began to march to the western front, the Korean army on the eastern front had already begun to exchange fire with the defenders of Dongling.
The entire battlefield is surrounded by rolling hills on the east side, with the higher terrain of Shizui Mountain and the Liaohe Plain on the west side.
At this time, Zhao Ming arranged 80,000 Korean troops at the foot of Shizui Mountain on the east line, and the Korean troops were densely packed, covering the entire Dongling.
North Korean Marshal Lin Qingzhi, wearing Ming-style armor, stood at the foot of Shizui Mountain on a horse. Two miles ahead is Nurhaci's tomb, which is the most important support point on the eastern line of Hong Chengchou.
As long as the Qing army defended this support point, it would be impossible for the Ming army to directly attack the Qing army camp in the rear.
There were roars coming from the top of Shizui Mountain. The Qing army's bronze cannon suddenly retreated back and a ball of gunpowder rose. A mud pillar immediately rose among the North Korean army climbing on the mountainside.
After many days of training, the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army has improved. Tens of thousands of people were bombarded by the Qing army's artillery fire, and the figures of ants climbed all over the mountains and fields were extremely terrifying.
On the Dongling Mountain, Han Dai looked down from above, and saw the figures of Koreans. He couldn't help but feel frightened and was frightened.
At this time, the densely packed Korean troops had climbed to the vicinity of Dongling. The North Korean general led by the North, held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and suddenly roared, "Kill!"
The densely packed Korean troops immediately raised their speed and climbed towards the top of the mountain.
Han Dai looked at the scene in front of him that was enough to make anyone who had been on the battlefield for a long time and felt frightened, and immediately shouted angrily, "Call me!"
On the top of the mountain, the old and weak Qing army immediately let go of the bowstrings and overturned the stones. For a moment, the top of the mountain was built like rain, and the stones rolled, causing the Korean army to fall down one after another.
When the Korean army began to attack Donglin, the 10,000 Japanese soldiers arranged between Dongling and Beiling also began to advance southward.
These Japanese samurai, wearing flags on their backs, wearing bamboo armor and hats on their heads, were full of murderous aura and looked very fierce.
More than a thousand Japanese soldiers holding iron cannons were walking forward. The Japanese soldiers behind them held long swords and inserted several Japanese swords between their waists, steadily along the west side of Shizuishan, and interspersed between the Dongling and the Qing army camp.
In the Qing army camp, Hong Chengchou sat upright in the camp, and his scouts kept coming to report.
"Qi Bi Zhongtang, tens of thousands of Korean troops attacked Dongling!" The Qing cavalry turned over and dismounted and knelt on one knee.
Hong Chengchou responded calmly, "Let Han Dai hold on to the Dongling Mountains and not take a step back!"
