Shanhaiguan.

The artillery was roaring, and the shells were arcing from the sky and landed on the wall.

Under the wall, many Qing soldiers were also striving to attack the city.

The momentum is very large, but the Ming army responsible for guarding this place is not only passively beaten.

"Where is the tincture? Hurry up, splash it down!"

Driven by many Ming soldiers, a pot of hot oil fell from the sky and landed on the Qin army under the city.

Even wearing armor, the hot oil could still penetrate the bodies of Qing soldiers through the gap, making them so hot that they were so hot that they screamed and rolled on the ground.

Scald is actually a very painful way to get hurt.

In addition, rolling stones, wood, strong bows and crossbows, and even musket volleys all appeared on the city walls of Shanhaiguan.

Of course, there are even more powerful ones.

"Boom!" The gun barrel vibrated violently, and many shells shot out and landed in the formation of the Qing army outside the city.

The Ming army also had artillery!

The last time Zhu Cixuan defeated Jirgalang's attack at Shanhaiguan, he left many artillery here, including five red cannons.

When the Qing army's offensive reached its peak, dozens of artillery pieces of the Ming army opened fire crazily.

Dorgon stood on the main general's platform in the distance, staring at the battlefield, frowned.

The Qing soldiers' attacks were hard, but all this still seemed futile in the face of the Ming army's strong defensive capabilities.

The only increase is not the military achievements, but the number of casualties among Qing soldiers!

Finally, Dorgon couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice: "Ming Jin and get the troops back, and have a meeting in my tent later!"

Amid the sharp sound of gold, the Qing army retreated like a tide, and thousands of corpses were left on the land outside Shanhaiguan.

On the wall, the soldiers of the Ming army made deafening cheers.

Li Guozhen, the No. 1 of Xiangcheng, walked up to the wall with more than a dozen personal guards, amid cheers.

Although the Qing army did not attack the wall, the Qing army's artillery still caused a lot of damage to the wall of Shanhaiguan. The originally flat aisle has now become bumpy. A few steps away can be found in small holes and big holes. Some places still have blood that has not yet dried up and traces of being dragged.

Although the Ming army defended Shanhaiguan, it did not fail to pay the price.

While walking, Li Guozhen ordered: "Let the craftsmen repair it quickly. The ground is simply impossible to walk. Also, the injured soldiers immediately let the doctors treat them, and they must do their best to save their lives. The brothers who fought all worked hard, let them retreat and replace them on duty. The various posts must not relax, so as not to make a comeback in Jiannu..."

Although Zhu Cilang, the most popular person in the Ming Dynasty has been Zhu Cilang, it has to be said that Li Guozhen, the Xiangcheng Bo, who has been following Zhu Cilang, has actually grown at an amazing speed.

After all the matters were arranged, Li Guozhen also walked around the east and north sides of Shanhaiguan.

Seeing that nothing was missing, Li Guozhen returned to his own room, picked up his pen and started writing the memorial.

"My minister Li Guozhen asked His Majesty:

The Jiannu thief army has attacked the Shanhaiguan wall for several days. Fortunately, 20,000 soldiers in the pass work together, and with the model of His Royal Highness the Prince, I was able to lead the three armies to use their lives, killing more than a thousand thieves today.

Please rest assured Your Majesty and all the lords of the capital. I will do my best to prevent any Jiannu from entering the pass!"

Li Guozhen was full of passion when he wrote the letter, but Dorgon's mood was obviously not so beautiful.

He stared at the Qing generals in front of him and said coldly: "It has been several days since we fought. The shells and soldiers have consumed enough lives, but when will Shanhaiguan be taken down, there is no hope at all. Let's talk about how to make a plan now?"

After hearing Dorgon's inquiry, the Qing generals made a very practical move that had been spread across China for five thousand years.

He lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Dorgon became more and more angry and said coldly: "When he didn't beat him, he was so bragging that he was so loud that he was so loud. Now he has become mute?"

Dorgon became more and more angry as he spoke, and directly cursed the generals present.

Originally, in Dorgon's opinion, the Ming Dynasty could only fight Zhu Cilang, and at most, a British Duke Zhang Shize.

Now both of these two people have gone to Shaanxi to deal with Li Zicheng, so they will leave one of Li Guozhen to defend Shanhaiguan. Then Dorgon still holds a handful and wins it steadily?

In order to ensure the offensive firepower, Dorgon also brought all the artillery of the Qing Dynasty.

But the fact is that after a few days of war, Dorgon did not take any advantage. Shanhaiguan led by Li Guozhen was like a stinky and hard stone. Dorgon's Northeast tiger pounced on it, and ended up breaking his teeth in one bite!

You said this is a matter of being stolen, will it be anger?

But cursing people will never solve the problem, so after Dorgon cursed, he still could not say helplessly: "Get back for me, prepare well, and continue to attack the city tomorrow!"

The war at Shanhaiguan was in a state of anxiety, and on the other side, Zhu Cixuan led an army of 70,000 to reach the outside of Nanyang City in a mighty manner.

Someone is going to ask, where did this come from 70,000?

The answer is actually very simple. Most of them came from the army led by Zhu Cixuan from Jiangnan (40,000), plus the Baigang Army (9,000), and the others were recruited from Zhang Xianzhong's surrendered troops.

Although Zhang Xianzhong was a bandit, he was also a bandit who had been in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, so he naturally had a group of soldiers who could fight under his command.

These soldiers have fought for so many years and basically can't do anything but war. Instead of sending them back to the place to fight and cause trouble, it would be better to let them continue to work hard for the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield, which is also a kind of atonement.

The seventy thousand troops came to cover the sky and the sun, which immediately put a lot of pressure on the Dashun defenders in Nanyang City.

As the chief general of the Dashun defender, Li Yan stood on the city wall and muttered to himself.

"This time, our Dashun is really in trouble!"

Beside Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, who was disguised as a Taoist priest, smiled and spoke slowly.

"Why, General Li is still reluctant to make up his mind? Why didn't I remember you as such an indecisive person?"

Li Yan snorted, threw a word and left.

"You colorful people just don't know what loyalty is!"

Niu Jinxing was stunned when he heard this, then burst into laughter.
