Chapter 681 No Choice

The sound of yelling and rumbling explosions have been resounding in Dawenkou for most of the day.

After the Liang army broke through the Yellow River defense line, they advanced all the way east, cutting off the enemy's passage to retreat along the canal, and then quickly continued to march in Tai'an, cutting off the enemy's passage to Jinan.

At the same time, the Qing army and the Northern Ming army also scattered their widows and ran towards Tai'an, intending to jump out of the Liang army's encirclement before the Liang army cut off the retreat route.

The Liang army advanced from the west to the east, and Duoduo and Wu Sangui could only choose the official road to Jinan through Tai'an to the east.

Two armies, the Liang army rushed to Tai'an from the west, and the Qing army marched from the south to the north, and also rushed to Tai'an.

Whoever arrives first, the balance of war is like who leans.

If the Liang army arrived first, then Duoduo and Wu Sangui would be blocked, and the 200,000 troops would be in danger of being annihilated.

If the Qing army arrived first, then Duoduo and Wu Sangui could retreat to Jinan calmly.

In this way, the Qing army jumped out of the encirclement and could avoid delays in the war. When the news of the Liang army's attack on Shandong spread, Li Jiyu, Zhang Xianzhong and Zheng Zhilong would definitely send troops one after another.

At that time, Liang State will face the situation of the five countries' conquest again, and may be labeled as a second-rate or even a third-rate country just like Qi State.

Therefore, whoever feels Tai'an first is the key to the battle.

Li Yuanyin led his troops to travel for more than 200 miles. He had just arrived at Dawenkou. In less than half an hour, the Qing army vanguard also arrived here.

After all, the Qing army was half an hour slower than the Liang army.

The Liang army ambushed the Qing army's vanguard. As soon as the Qing army retreated, the Qing army's follow-up troops arrived one after another, and then launched a crazy attack on the two hills at Dawenkou.

The Qing army's attacks were wave after wave, and as the number of people arrived increased, the offensive became more and more crazy.

"General, the Tartars are coming up again!" A Liang military commander ran to the back of the hillside and said to Li Yuanyin sitting on the ground.

"Boom boom boom boom!" As soon as the brigade coach finished speaking, the Qing army's artillery formation poured a round of artillery into the hillside, and the shells hit the front of the hillside, causing the soil to splash.

In the continuous shelling, trees broke on the front of the hillside, and large pits smashed by shells were everywhere, showing the fierce battle.

Li Yuanyin showed his head and watched the Qing army's artillery smoke filled the Qing army's artillery formation. While the artillery bombarded, the Qing army densely protected it with shields and launched a charge towards the mountain.

Even the general who has been through the battlefield for a long time will be frightened by this scene.

Li Yuanyin looked at the Qing army that was scattered like ants and ants climbing, and drew his sword without hesitation and roared: "The tenth time! Brothers, beat me!"

With a command, Liang Jun musketeers immediately raised their guns together, "Bang bang bang" the gun fired, and the projectiles hit the shield, sparks shot everywhere, and the soldiers' bodies stumbled slightly, but then they continued to move forward.

On the hillside, Liang soldiers fired muskets and bows, but they could not stop the Qing army's attack.

"It's a heavy step in Manchuria!" Liang soldiers exclaimed.

Seeing this, Li Yuanyin immediately raised a bone hammer and said in a deep voice: "Go to thunder and drive them down!"

Liang's soldiers stood up and suddenly threw iron-shelled thunder at the dense crowd.

"Boom boom boom" white light burst out, and iron-shelled thunder fell into the Qing army formation group, and immediately exploded one after another, bursting up smoke of gunpowder. The dense Qing army was overturned by the air waves, and screamed and rolled down the hillside. The Qing army's formation was in chaos in an instant.

"Kill!" Li Yuanyin roared, "If you join the army and serve the country, you will inevitably die. Now our troops will stop Yan Tatars from escaping, and you will die as much as possible! Brothers will even have to take a cushion and rush!"

The Liang soldiers on the hillside picked up blunt weapons and roared angrily, rushing towards the Qing army that was bombed in chaos like crazy. The blunt weapons smashed them hard and drove the Qing army down again.

"The eleventh time!" Li Yuanyin shouted loudly with a bloody bone hammer.

At this time, in the open area south of Dawenkou, Duoduo was attracting his generals to watch the battle.

Seeing the Manchu soldiers being hammered by Liang's blunt weapon and retreating in shame, Duoduo's face turned gloomy and roared repeatedly, "Continue to attack!"

One wave of Qing troops had just been driven down, and another wave of Qing troops had gathered below and climbed and charged again.

If the obstacle cannot be broken through, once Gao Huan chases from behind, what is waiting for the Qing army is a fierce battle with more dangers and less luck.

Therefore, although the Qing army was driven down by the Liang army repeatedly, they could not give up and could only launch wave after wave of charge.

At this time, the dense Qing army rushed up the hillside again. Most of the Liang army's iron-shelled thunder had been consumed, and both sides fought desperately on the hilltop.

Seeing this, Duoduo's face gradually improved. According to this attitude, the Liang army on the hill was consumed by the wheel war, and the Qing army could soon rush up the hill and open a passage to Jinan.

"Gao Manzi is really cunning! If you set up such a big situation, you want to encircle and annihilate me. Is this king so easy to encircle and annihilate?" Duoduo looked at the mountain, and the Qing army could solve the blocking Liang army immediately, so he gritted his teeth and said, "When I break out and form a coalition force of the five-nation country, I will definitely make Gao Manzi pay the price!"

At this moment, behind Dawenkou, a suona suddenly sounded, making Duoduo's color change again.

"It's the Liang army's charge!" A Qing army general exclaimed.

Duoduo's cheek muscles twitched, and Sun Chuanting led his troops to arrive.

Just when the Qing army was about to deal with the Liang army in Dawenkou, thousands of Liang troops rushed to the rear of Dawenkou, from the north of the mountain to go up the top of the mountain, and engaged in a cruel tug-of-war with the Qing army, adding fuel to the battle.

The battle at Dawenkou ranged from day to night, from night to day, and from night to day, killing until the corpses accumulate like mountains and blood flows into rivers.

After three days of battle, the hillsides and roads were covered with layers of corpses.

As time went by, restless emotions appeared on Duoduo's face.

The Qing army was blocked at Dawenkou for three days. If it could not break through the obstacle, once Gao Huan came from behind, the Qing army's situation would be in danger!

"Impact, impact, rush over to me!" Duoduo was furious on the horse's back, wishing he could leave the command position of the central army, take the sword himself, and rush forward to fight.

"Prince, the main force of the Liang army is approaching quickly. We should pay attention to the back!" Suksaha reminded urgently.

Duoduo's muscles twitched, and at this moment, several cavalry rushed to the front and hurriedly reported: "Prince, the main force of the Liang army went north and defeated my broken rear-end cavalry and was coming here!"

Duoduo's face was as deep as water, but he was still caught up by Gao Huan.

Many Qing generals showed panic on their faces, "Prince, there is a blocking in front and a pursuit in the back, what should I do?"

Duoduo had a gloomy face for a moment, suddenly waved his whip and ordered: "I ordered all the cavalry of the Eight Banners to retreat. Once Gao Huan's troops arrived, he would destroy him while the formation was not stable!"

Gao Huan's army caught up with him, and Duoduo had no choice but to fight.
