Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 107 Chapter 107, Wu Sangui had no choice but to ask for help, Zhu Cihong showed off his cannon
(The last chapter should be 106, it was a typo, but it doesn’t affect the reading)

At this moment, Wu Sangui's mood was very, very complicated.

Yesterday he said that he didn't want Zhu Cihong's support, but today he wants to slap him in the face?Wu Sangui doesn't want to lose face!

Wu Sangui resolutely refused: "It's unreasonable! Jiannu's attacks can't be so fierce all the time, tell the brothers, stand up for me!"

Wu Sangui has already said that, what else can the generals of the Guanning Army present say?They could only keep their mouths shut quietly.

Almost at the same time, Zhu Cihong was also discussing the same thing with Li Guozhen.

Li Guozhen said: "Your Highness, judging from the information we just received, the number of Wu Sangui's casualties this time is about three thousand."

Even though he had already made a judgment, Zhu Cihong's gaze still couldn't help but condense slightly: "This number...it seems that this time Jiannu really paid a lot of money."

Although Wu Sangui may have some problems in character, there is nothing to say about his ability. In history, Wu Sangui used a barren Yunnan as his base to fight against the Manchus for six years. Until Wu Sangui died of illness, the relationship between him and the Manchus The situation can be regarded as a back and forth.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time was the Manchu Qing Dynasty that had completely destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and it was completely different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty now living in Liaodong.

Being able to beat Wu Sangui so badly, even though Zhu Cihong hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could guess how fierce the Manchu attack was.

Li Guozhen said: "I think Wu Sangui can't hold on any longer. We should prepare and change defenses."

Zhu Cihong thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Wu Sangui feels like he wants to save face. He might not choose to ask us for help on the first day."

Li Guozhen was stunned for a moment, and said: "What if Jiannu breaks through the defense line, what should I do?"

Zhu Cihong spread his hands, and said: "So we still have to be prepared, if Wu Sangui really collapses, we have to stand up right away."

Another night passed.

In the morning, the Manchu and Qing troops came out of the camp again and lined up one after another.

Jierhalang looked around at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "We continue to attack today, the cannons of the Ming people have been bombarded almost by us, and the Hongyi cannons are bombarding me non-stop today, if we can knock down the pass wall Now, then today is the day to make a contribution!"

The generals of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had already been gearing up for a long time, and they responded in unison after hearing Jierhalang's words.

"Today, let's make the dog look good!"

Amidst the sound of trumpets, countless Manchu soldiers came out again.

On the Shanhaiguan side, Wu Sangui also had a dignified expression, and said to the many generals in front of him: "Jiannu suddenly launched a fierce attack yesterday, but as the saying goes, one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion. As long as we block Jiannu's offensive today, Jiannu will surely We are going to retreat!"

Listening to Wu Sangui's words, the generals also took orders in unison, but their voices sounded a little out of breath.

The battle started again.

Last night, Wu Sangui temporarily asked the craftsmen to rush to repair it overnight, and there are still eight cannons that can be used.

But Wu Sangui is actually facing a problem here, that is, his cannon is not as good as the Hongyi cannon in terms of range, so he can only be beaten passively.

The consequences of being passively beaten were soon manifested.

If it is said that the artillery of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was somewhat unfamiliar yesterday, after a day of artillery battle, the accuracy of the Artillery of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties increased significantly the next day.

"Boom!" Accompanied by the loud sound of the artillery shells falling to the ground, another burst of smoke and dust splashed on the Guan wall of Shanhaiguan. One artillery piece of the Ming army was torn apart, and many artillerymen died suddenly on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Wu Sangui gritted his teeth angrily: "Damn Jianu, how can you be so accurate!"

Some of the generals beside Wu Sangui saw the problem: "My lord, our artillery can't move. As long as they keep adjusting the shooting parameters, they will hit it sooner or later."

Wu Sangui was furious, and glared at the speaker: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

No matter how Wu Sangui tried to find a way, there was a fact that the cannons of the Ming army could not be compared with the Hongyi cannons captured by the Qing army. However, the Chinese army was able to bombard the immovable Ming army cannons on the Shanhaiguan wall without any scruples.

As time passed, in the afternoon, all the artillery on the Shanhaiguan wall had been destroyed by the Qing army's Hongyi cannons.

Seeing this, Jierhalang couldn't help laughing: "Very good! Now that there are no cannons, let's see how these Ming people can stop our attack!"

Without the suppression of the artillery, the morale of the Qing army was immediately boosted, densely packed like ants, climbing on the city wall with various siege equipment, and began to attack frantically.

The pressure on Wu Sangui's side became incomparably huge. He continued to send troops to various places on the pass for support, but he soon discovered that this was completely useless.

On the one hand, the Ming army on the city wall had to bear the bombardment of the Qing army's artillery, and on the other hand, it had to deal with the mad dog-like offensive of the Qing army, and the number of casualties soared rapidly.

Zheng Jiaolin staggered in front of Wu Sangui: "My lord..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Jiaolin fell to the ground with a thud, Wu Sangui was startled, and stretched out his hand to support him: "Are you okay?"

Zheng Jiaolin was soaked in blood at this moment, exuding a strong bloody smell, he was completely a bloody man.

Wu Sangui roared angrily: "Where is the doctor? Quickly find the doctor!"

Zheng Jiaolin grabbed Wu Sangui's hand, showing a wry smile: "My lord, we can't resist anymore, let's, let the crown prince come down!"

Zheng Jiaolin was sent away, but his words undoubtedly had a great impact on Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui raised his head in a daze, looked around, and found that the subordinates around him were either wounded, or had already gone to the battlefield and hadn't returned yet.

Wu Sangui said slowly: "How many soldiers and horses do we have?"

After a brief silence, someone replied: "My lord, all our soldiers and horses have already been invested."

Wu Sangui was speechless.

A total of 5000 people, why can't they guard this Shanhaiguan Pass?

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly, send someone to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and tell him that we need his assistance right now!"

Wu Sangui was helpless, he knew in advance that the Manchus would launch a very violent attack, but he never expected that the Manchus' attack would be so violent!
Beyond the pass, the smile of the Manchu Qing general Ji Erhalang could no longer be concealed.

"Great, as long as we keep going, we can have a drink at Shanhaiguan tonight!"

The Manchu and Qing army was actually well prepared this time. Not only did they bring in all the artillery, they also used a group of surrendered generals such as Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou to figure out the defense situation, fortifications and countermeasures in Shanhaiguan in advance. He must be very clear, so he can accurately hit the various weaknesses of Shanhaiguan and cause such huge losses to Wu Sangui in a short period of time.

Jierhalang was full of complacency, and thought that the king had spent half his life in the army, and he had won battles with Taizu and Taizong for so many years, did he really think it was a waste of fame?
And beside Jierhalang, many generals of the Qing army were also quite excited, laughing and laughing.

"Ming people always thought that the Qing Dynasty would not be able to defeat Shanhaiguan, so they made a detour. Today we must let them know that if the Qing Dynasty wants to fight, it will definitely be able to fight!"

"Which place in Shenyang and Jinzhou was not as difficult to attack as this small pass? We also defeated the Qing Dynasty. It is these Ming dogs who claim to be a kingdom of heaven, arrogant and conceited, and they believe it when they brag! "

"After finishing this Shanhaiguan pass, we will go to Beijing to drink and ride the woman of Emperor Chongzhen to see what it's like."

"Hahaha, let's go together!"

At this moment, the mutation suddenly appeared.

Numerous shells fell from the sky and landed in the Qing army positions outside Shanhaiguan.

"Boom boom boom!"

When the shells fell, many Qing soldiers were caught off guard and were killed and injured immediately.

Jierharang was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, is this delusional?
Haven't all the cannons of the Ming people been destroyed?

Just a few tens of seconds later, another wave of shells struck.

This time, Jierharang finally saw clearly.

These cannonballs are genuine, like fake ones, but they are fired not from above the pass wall of Shanhai Pass, but from behind the pass wall!
Jierhalang shouted: "How is this possible!"

Beside Jierhalang, many generals of the Qing Dynasty also stopped smiling and watched this scene in horror.

Since it was thought that Daming had no artillery, Jierhalang directly sent a large number of elites to ensure that it could be taken down quickly.

These elite Manchu Qing soldiers were densely packed everywhere under the closed wall. Such a high density was like delivering food to Ming's artillery.

The artillery fired from the pass didn't even need to be aimed, as long as they jumped over the pass and landed, dozens of people would be killed or injured casually!
One cannon has dozens of people at a time, and ten cannons can have hundreds of people at a time, plus the frequency of artillery salvos every minute...

Jilharang's heart almost stopped beating when he thought of this.

Beside Jierharang, someone also reacted.

"Prince Zheng, this is definitely a trick of Minggou, let's quickly withdraw the troops from the front line!"

Jierharang took a deep breath, his chest heaved violently, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Withdraw? No, send an order to let our Hongyi cannons of the Qing Dynasty move forward and suppress those Ming cannons inside the pass!"

Although the battle went smoothly, the Manchu Qing was the offensive side after all, and the casualties were always more severe than that of the Ming army.

Let Jierhalang withdraw after paying so many casualties?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Jierhalang gritted his teeth: "Today, I must take down this damn Shanhaiguan!"
