Dushikou and Yaoziling both entered the important places in the south of the desert from Jiannu Shengjing City. According to Lu Xiangsheng's prediction and the advance speed of the main cavalry of Jiannu, even if he had already reacted, he could not have time to set up defenses and blockades in the Dushikou area. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng would let the Second Cavalry Army of the Imperial Guards and the Third Artillery Army directly rushed to the next must-pass place in the south of the desert - Yaoziling.

Moreover, Yaoziling is a high terrain and is a rare valley on the grasslands in the desert. It is better for defense from the Dushikou. The Second Cavalry Army of the Imperial Guards has arrived here in advance and immediately built a simple obstacle area to block the advance of the cavalry.

The Third Artillery Army also arrived one after another, and even the Chariot Battalion arrived at Yaozi Ridge the third day after Lu Xiangsheng's order.

However, Huang Taiji did not know that the two Ming Imperial Guards had already assembled in the direction of Yaoziling in front of him, totaling more than 60,000 troops. In addition to the second cavalry of the Imperial Guards with mobility and cavalry, which was no less than his Eight Banners Armored Army, there were also the Third Artillery Army with various unconventional weapons concentrated.

At this time, Huang Taiji had already captured Dushikou with great force, because Lu Xiangsheng had not realized that this inconspicuous barrier would become the first place for Jiannu to attack, so there was only one hundred household office under the Liaodong Command Department, and he could not resist the attack of nearly 100,000 main forces under Huang Taiji's command.

What's more, Huang Taiji also had his own artillery at this time. He looked at the Dushikou city wall that had been destroyed by his Qing artillery with satisfaction. He was very polite to order everyone in Dushikou to kill him and then run directly towards Yaoziling.

Huang Taiji did not have any emotional fluctuations in the annihilation of Duoduo and the Eight Banners Brigades in Yigushan led by him. He naturally believed that this was the reason why the main force of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Guards was strong, which resulted in the fact that the Eight Banners Brigades, which had only more than 7,000 people, could not compete with him, and still led his main force to the south of the desert.

What's more, Duoduo has always been close to Dorgon. Now that Duoduo and his direct army have been annihilated by the main force of the Ming Imperial Guard, it is not a bad thing for Huang Taiji.

Dorgon naturally understood what his emperor brother was secretly hiding, but now that the foreign enemy is in front of him, he didn't say anything, so he could only continue to follow Huang Taiji firmly and give advice for him.

However, Dorgon couldn't help but sigh for Degele, who was ordered to guard Shengjing City and Jirhalang, who was guarding Hetura. He naturally knew that his emperor brother wanted to use the Ming army to get rid of these two Eight Banners Banners who were not the same as him.

But Dorgon couldn't change anything, because he only knew that only by doing this could Huang Taiji, his Qing Dynasty, truly form a joint force.

"Long lively, Yaozi Ridge is ahead. This area is very easy to ambush. According to my brother, it is better to stop and wait for the whistleblower to find out if there is any Ming army ambush before marching."

Dorgon caught up with Huang Taiji at this time and did not help but provide advice to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji is now eager to get rid of the predicament of being surrounded by the Ming army and break out without agreeing with Dorgon's more cautious suggestion, and waved his hand directly: "No need, since the Imperial Guard is already in a hurry to steal my territory, these places are probably only tens of thousands or tens of thousands of ordinary border troops. Why don't you and I be afraid? It's better to seize the opportunity to rush into the hinterland of the southern desert immediately!"

Seeing this, Dorgon had to obey Huang Taiji's arrangements.

...

When Huang Taiji and the main force of Jiannu entered Yaozi Ridge, Huang Taiji was indeed a little cautious. Although he said he didn't have to worry about ambushing, he was unwilling to let his main force suffer any losses in such a place.

However, Huang Taiji looked around for a long time but found no abnormality. He had to admit that he was still affected by Dorgon and was overly worried, so he ordered the army to continue to move forward quickly.

But what he would not have thought was that it was not that the Imperial Guards did not lie here, but that the artillery was going to attack first. After the artillery's Ming Land War artillery had greatly improved after rifling and using new cannon gun materials.

Therefore, the artillery of the Third Artillery Army set up artillery at a distance, which is why Huang Taiji could not see the artillery and officers and soldiers lying here at first glance.

But just as soon as Huang Taiji's main force entered Yaozi Ridge, all kinds of artillery and cannons suddenly exploded at Huang Taiji like heavy rain. The explosion was suddenly filled with people and horses. Even Huang Taiji was scratched by the blown shrapnel.

Not just artillery either.

Just as Huang Taiji ordered his troops to pass immediately and quickly to avoid being continuously bombarded, countless explosions sounded again.

However, these explosions were because many Ming versions of landmines had been buried in this area, but it was precisely because of the explosion of this landmine mine that the main force of Jiannu, who had just recovered the order, began to become chaotic again.

These main forces of the Eight Banners were obviously scared. If they were bombed at first because of artillery, then the mines that could suddenly explode on the ground and directly kill and injured people would give these main forces a strong shock.

The Tartars didn't understand why there was a sudden explosion underground, which made many of them instinctively suspect that these were all related to ghosts and gods.

"Listen to my orders and continue rushing over. There is no need to see what these Ming dogs have used. What we have to do is to give the Han people in the pass the greatest punishment so that they can not think that having a Shanhaiguan and Liaodong can be assured. I want them to taste the taste of my Qing iron cavalry tying the world!"

The reason why Huang Taiji deliberately showed such high fighting spirit was to keep his morale from decline. But what Huang Taiji did not expect was that when he was about to rush over, another round of artillery bombardment directly caused his main force to die hundreds of white-armored soldiers on the spot.

For Jiannu at this time, it was not rare to die of hundreds of white-armored soldiers, because the artillery fire of the Ming Imperial Guards was too fierce.

But in the end, Huang Taiji rushed over.

But what Huang Taiji did not expect was that at this moment, twenty-six steam-powered tanks drove directly from both sides of Yaozi Ridge, and as soon as these steam-powered tanks appeared, they instantly made Yigan Tartars feel timid and even panic because they didn't know what this giant was.

Huang Taiji rushed over without hesitation with his elite Zhenghuang Banner, but at this time, countless lead ejections suddenly appeared on the chariot, directly shooting these Tartars from the front.

And just as these hit Tatars were abdicated, the chariots were crushed directly, crushing the Tartars into powder, and drove directly towards the Tartars fearlessly.

But these Tartars didn't know how to deal with this iron shell that was bigger than a house, so they could only keep retreating.
