Chapter 41 Fierce Battle of Mountain Customs

Dornon is not a fool. After listening to Huang Taiji's instructions, he immediately guessed the hidden ideas in Huang Taiji, but at present, his Huang Taiji is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. For the sake of the overall situation, Dornon can't say no, not to mention the current strength in Huang Taiji's hands than that of him and Duoduo. The strength of the two white flags, after so many years, Huang Taiji has repeatedly differentiated. The strength of the two flags in his hands and Duoduo has been greatly weakened. Even if he wants to rebel, he is not the opponent of Huang Taiji now, and may become the public enemy of the whole Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he knows that this is the poison given to him by Huang Taiji, and there is no Don't pinch your nose and drink it.

So Dorcon had to take the order, saying that he would definitely attack the mountain customs. This was a difficult bone to gnaw. Although he asked himself that his teeth were good, he could not guess whether his big teeth would collapse after biting this time.

However, Dorgun thought that although he was used as cannon fodder by Huang Taiji, after all, Huang Taiji also gave him three Han military flags and two Mongolian flag soldiers. Before his two white flags died, he could at least take the cannon fodder in these cannon fodder. When they died, it was his turn to be his two white flags. This Menghan five flags are good. At least there are tens of thousands of people, and it's not easy to die, so he doesn't have to worry too much about anything now. He wants to consume his two white flags, hum! He also has to be full of killing!

And when he saw Huang Taiji today, he had already found that Huang Taiji's spirit was a little worse than the previous days, and his nose was bleeding more. Blood is the foundation of people. Huang Taiji's nose was bleeding so much. Even if he was fat, how much blood he ate well, there were times when he couldn't stand it. Taiji is not much of time. Once the emperor Taiji dies, with the strength he has mastered in the Qing Dynasty and his popularity, he can also compete with the throne of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He can't take advantage of his emperor Taiji, and it's his turn to be in charge! Over the years, he and the three brothers Duoduo and Azige have been at the mercy of Huang Taiji. They have long hated Huang Taiji so much that they have gritted their teeth, but they still have to show loyalty on the surface. Even secretly, they dare not dare to say a few more bad words about Huang Taiji, which has long been uncomfortable.

As for Abatai's order, he was quite happy. He was the seventh son of wild boar skin, and Huang Taiji was the eighth son of wild boar skin. Unfortunately, although Abatai was older, his status among Jiannu had always been very low, far better than other sons who were not wild boar skins. The reason was that he was a concubine and his mother was not valued. So even his son is not taken seriously.

Therefore, his status has not been high among the Jiannu. Up to now, he is only a Baylor, which is the same level as the younger generation. Compared with the princes, he is two levels lower. For this reason, he also has many complaints. However, Huang Taiji is precisely because Abatai has never been qualified to compete with him for power. Although he has repeatedly suppressed him, he has not There are people who deal with him like Amin and Mang Gultai, so although his status is relatively low, there is no murder.

This time, Huang Taiji can let him lead the army alone, which can be said to be the first time in his life that he has mastered such military power. In his opinion, once he can lead troops to break through the barrier, it will be a great achievement. In the future, his status in the Qing Dynasty will be improved a lot. If he can't do it, he will be a prince and a prince, so Abatai immediately happily took the order of Huang Taiji, ordered 40,000 soldiers and horses with Hager, left Qiantunwei, and went to the west of Shanhaiguan along the Great Wall to find a place to break through the barrier!

In short, after the Huang Taiji arrived, the strength of the whole Shanhaiguan foreign construction slave army increased a lot again. After Dorgun was ordered, he immediately began to use troops against Shanhaiguan again and mobilized tens of thousands of troops. Outside Shanhaiguan, cannons were mounted to launch a fierce bombardment against Guancheng, and at the same time He also ordered Li Shutai, Liu Zhiyuan, Wu Shoujin and other Han flag army generals to command their Han army and Mongolian flag soldiers to launch a strong attack on Shanhaiguan.

From April 29, the sound of artillery in Shanhaiguan had just subsided for three days, and then rumbled again. The allied forces of the defenders and the Jiannu army immediately launched a large-scale offensive and defensive battle along Shanhaiguan.

At the beginning of this battle, the battle was very fierce. Both sides used all kinds of usable cannons to bombard each other. The projectiles were like burning hail, tearing the sky, constantly staggering through the sky, and falling on the enemy's head. Together with this artillery battle, the construction slaves found that the defenders The artillery fire on the side became sharper.

It turned out that the number of Hongyi cannons of the Ming Army in Shanhaiguan was far less than that of the Jiannu army, and they suffered a lot of losses during the artillery battle. Only after the Jiannu army attacked the close range, their old-fashioned copper and iron cannons and flaming machine guns, tiger squat guns, bowls and other artillery can exert their power, but they could not threaten the Jiannu army. The artillery array of Hongyi cannons on one side suffered a lot in the artillery battle.

But now, after the Dazhong Army took over some places, the Jiannu Army began to find that the artillery fire of the Dazhong Army is no worse than them. Although it seems that they still have an advantage in quantity, in terms of range, they are not like the last siege, they can beat the defenders.

Not only are some heavy artillery of the large and medium-sized army not weaker than their range, but also beyond them in the accuracy of the shelling. After the artillery battle began, the large and medium-sized army concentrated all the heavy artillery, focusing on the real artillery array of the Hongyi artillery stationed outside the Guan. It not only used solid bullets to bombard the artillery array of the slave army. And he also asked for a rarely used flowering bomb to shell the artillery array of the Jiannu Army.

The gunners on the side of the slave army might as well. The gun array was not strong enough and not perfect enough. On the first day of the artillery battle, they were bombarded by the cannons of the Dazhong Army and overturned four cannons in red, and killed and injured dozens of gunners who had injured the Han army flags, which scared the gunners of the Han army flag to run around. Later, it was still the Han army flag. Huangqi Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan ordered the killing of several panicked men to calm down the situation. He quickly sent people to build artillery arrays with earthen bags, which reduced losses. However, then the Dazhong Army used 12-pound cannons and eight-pounder cannons to bombard the artillery array of the construction army. As a result, in the evening, the artillery array of the slaves It was blown up in a mess, and the gunners were killed and injured.

In this way, Dorgun saw that their Hongyi cannons were too at a disadvantage at this distance. The enemy's cannons were on the wall, built with strong fortifications, which could be well protected. Although their cannons were very powerful, they could not take advantage of them, so they had to order the Hongyi cannons back a distance. Relying on the long range advantage of the heavy Hongyi cannon to deal with the fire of the defenders and reduce the hit rate of the defenders' cannons.

But in this way, the hit rate of their Hongyi cannons was also reduced. The three cannons were fired out, and the two cannons did not know where they went. Either they hit too high, flew over the wall to Guancheng and landed in the open space, or simply fell outside Guancheng. Accidentally, a few shells ran astray and fell into the crowd of the slave army who were attacking the city, killing some of the slave soldiers.

Anyway, after the Dazhong army entered the Shanhaiguan defense line, it pulled back a lot in terms of firepower. At least, the Jiannu army did not dare to be as arrogant as the first day of attacking Shanhaiguan. Moreover, their gunners have been systematically trained, and there is also a relatively complete aiming mechanism on the turret. In terms of shelling accuracy, it is more than Jiannu. Fang, all types of artillery alternately formed crossfire under the barrier. Every step of the Jiannu army had to be taken care of by various types of artillery. Therefore, the attack launched by Dorgun was very difficult. Often, the organized offensive had not yet reached the wall, and was defeated by the artillery fire of the coalition.

In fact, the bullshit is more than ten thousand people, and it is invincible. This is just the steps found by some Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers and officials who are afraid of death in later generations. They one-sidedly exaggerate the combat effectiveness of the Jiannu army to hide their incompetence, although it must be admitted that the military discipline of the Jiannu army is much more stricter than that of the Ming army. The Taran is also good at fighting and dares to work hard. But after all, they are still an old-fashioned army. They rely on the relationship between the people and the constraints of the slave chiefs above to exert their combat effectiveness. If they really fight, when they lose more than 10%, the slave army will collapse as usual. It is absolutely impossible like the legend. The side in the middle is powerful, and the main attacking Jiannu army are all Han soldiers under the flag of the Han army. These people are working for Jiannu just to live, not to die. It is impossible for them to die from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, after the beginning of the artillery battle, Dornon launched several attacks. He was quickly repulsed by the allied forces of the garrison, and the fart was not fished out of the body with broken arms thrown on the ground.

Only the artillery fire of Jiannu has caused certain casualties to the defenders, and caused certain damage to the Guanqiang and Guancheng. This is the advantage of Zhili in the war. Under the same firepower intensity, the attacking side often pays several times more casualties than the defending side.

Dorgun saw that it was not a way to fight like this, so he personally supervised the battle and forced the soldiers who were holding the Han army flag to continue to launch attacks. In this fight for a few days, Dorgun fiercely forced the Mongolian flag soldiers and the Han army to launch fierce attacks on the front line of Shanhaiguan, and the Jiannu cannon outside the gate also stopped day and night. The bombardment of Guancheng tried to concentrate a few points and break through the wall with the advantage of military strength. However, Yan Chongxi, Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Xiang sat in the gate, mobilized troops, constantly replaced the troops with excessive losses and rested again, and transferred new troops to the place where the most intense battle was fought.

With the development of the war, the people who helped the war also kept coming from the rear. At first, the people who came to help the war were only the people around Funingwei. However, with the development of the war and the continuous good news, more people began to rush to Shanhaiguan to help the battle under the organization of some local squires. This In the past two days, not only the people from Changli County, but also from around Yongping Prefecture, and even the people in the area of Tunwei, Kaiping, hundreds of miles away, also came to Shanhaiguan to help.
