Chapter 64 Borrowing soldiers from Dorgon

The explosion just now was indeed from the Shunjun's sky-storm cannon position.

The ten dead soldiers left by Wu Sangui moved away from Luzhai, and after slashing the horse-resisting rifle, they rushed into Zhao Peng's two sky-surgery cannon positions. Ten Guanning cavalry waved their sabers and rushed into the Jinyiwei's sky-surgery cannon position.

There were only ten people in the Guanning Army. Although there were 100 apprentices on the Jinyiwei side, these apprentices only had a self-defense waist knife at most, without long spears, long-handled swords, long-handled axes and other long-handled weapons. They were not even infantry. Even infantry without long-handed weapons faced the impact of cavalry.

"Brothers, our life is given to the Lord! For the Lord, we fight with the Wu Thief!" An apprentice pulled out his waist knife and rushed towards the Guanning Iron Cavalry who was rushing towards him without hesitation.

The armored war horse galloped over. The apprentice held his waist knife tightly in both hands, stabbed him with a knife as a short spear, and stabbed him towards the Guanning Iron Cavalry. However, the knife in his hand had not yet stabbed the Guanning Iron Cavalry's war horse, but the cavalry on the horse's back stabbed himself with a spear. He flew back several feet away like a kite with a broken string.

The Guanning cavalry dropped the broken rifle, sneered contemptuously, and waved their sabres and rushed towards the next apprentice.

The apprentice picked up a flowering firecracker from the ground that had not been equipped with a cork-pipe fuse, and held a lit fuse tightly in his right hand, bravely rushed towards the Guanning Iron Cavalry. Just before the war horse hit him, the apprentice pierced the fuse with a fire through the small hole in the head of the shell to install the fuse.

A loud "boom" sounded earth-shaking. While the apprentice was smashed to pieces, the Guanning Iron Cavalry who rushed over was also blown into pieces with his men and horses. The explosion also affected the two cavalry around the Guanning cavalry. The huge wave of air lifted the two cavalry off the horse's back, and the raindrop-like iron beads and fragments pierced into their bodies, knocking them into a horse's nest.

The violent explosion caused the seven war horses behind to panic. The frightened war horses made a terrifying neigh. Some war horses collided with other horses, and some raised their front hooves high, overturning the cavalry on the horse's back and falling off the horse.

All seven Guanning cavalry were dismissed. Before they could get on the horse again, they heard a roar: "Brothers, come on, fight with the Wu thief!"

Ninety-eight apprentices rushed up and took advantage of the opportunity when the Guanning cavalry had not had time to climb onto the horse and fought with them in a group.

An apprentice rushed to a Guanning army. Before the waist knife was cut out, the Guanning army soldiers stabbed into the abdomen with a saber. The apprentice fell down, but when he fell down, he hugged the Guanning army soldiers' legs, making it impossible for him to withdraw. The apprentices behind rushed forward and surrounded the Guanning army soldiers.

The Guanning Army soldier slashed and slashed three apprentices in a row, but because he was held by someone, his legs could not be used, and was finally chopped into meat sauce by the angry apprentices.

The remaining six Guanning soldiers had no time to stand on the ground and could only stand on the ground and slash the apprentices surrounding them with sabers. Soon, a large area of ​​apprentices that rushed up were cut over. The six Guanning soldiers surrounded by them were back to back, holding blood-dripping sabers. A circle of corpses fell down at their feet, and at least more than twenty apprentices were chopped over by them.

"Get out of the way! Let me do it!" An apprentice rushed over with a shell holding Bai Yan.

The 60-pound shell was naturally unable to be thrown out with human power. The apprentice rushed to the Guanning Army soldiers with the shells. While his head was cut off, the shells exploded, and all six Guanning Army soldiers were blown up in a pool of blood.

At this point, all the ten Guanning soldiers who came in to destroy the artillery were destroyed, and the apprentices lost twenty-nine, but the sky-rushing cannon was safe and sound. If it weren't for the two apprentices who were ready to die, they would probably not be enough for the ten Guanning soldiers to kill them. After all, these Guanning soldiers were all elite servants of Wu Sangui. Even if they were off the horse and fought on foot, ten people would have no pressure to kill 100 apprentices with combat effectiveness that were no different from those of peasants.

The Guanning Army cavalry failed and there was no harassement from the opponent's cavalry. The Shun Army infantry did not have to worry about being attacked at any time, and they would be much more at ease when fighting. The large group of Shun Army infantry advanced steadily a hundred steps away from the Guanning Army Vehicle Battalion. The Shun Army artillery Battalion followed up and bombarded the Guanning Army Vehicle Battalion with general artillery and thousand kilograms of Franc aircraft.

The Guanning Military Vehicle Battalion also fired against the Franchising Army Artillery Battalion, but the artillery of the Vehicle Battalion was not as good as the artillery battalion. After all, the Guanning Military Vehicle Battalion suffered a significant loss when the two sides shot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Sangui had to give up the field battle and ordered all the turtles to retreat to Shanhaiguan City, trying to rely on the solid city wall to stand for help, waiting for the Qing army to rescue him.

The Shun Army controlled the positions outside Xiluo City and Ninghai City, and began to officially launch a fierce attack on Shanhaiguan City.

The red cannons at the top of Xiluo City were almost completely destroyed by Zhao Peng's sky-storm cannons. The Shun Army, which controlled the outer positions, could push all kinds of general cannons, Francs, and whirlwind cannons to the front of Guancheng and launch violent artillery bombardments on Shanhaiguan. Even small cannons such as tiger squat cannons, bowl-mouth guns, and cub-mouth guns were added to the artillery bombardment on Shanhaiguan.

Both the East and West Shihe Rivers were already in the hands of the Shun Army, and there were no obstacles in front of Shanhaiguan to block the Shun Army. The Shun Army's ladder vehicles, trench bridges and siege rushers could reach directly under the Shanhaiguan city wall and launch an attack on the city head.

The sound of cannons rumbling and the sound of killing shocked the sky. The Shun Army used refugees as auxiliary soldiers and cannon fodder, pushing various siege weapons to approach the city wall, and launching a fierce attack on the city head. The Guanning Army defenders at the city head braved the fierce artillery fire of the Shun Army under the city head to fight to the death, smashing gray bottles, turbulent oil tanks, wolf teeth pats and yaksha gua fell from the city head again and again, knocking down the Shun Army, who was climbing the cloud ladder, and pouring hot gold juice down along the simple cloud ladder, burning the Shun Army.

The refugees were flying arrows against cannon stones, rolling wooden stones, and desperately attacking the city head. The artillery shells, bullets and arrows behind them were constantly shooting up the city head, killing the Guanning army and the Minzhuang who were guarding the city in large numbers.

The fierce battle between the offensive and defensive sides reached a fierce attack. The Shun Army climbed up to the city from many places and was driven down by the Guanning Army at the city. Wu Sangui personally brought elite servants to block the leaks everywhere at the city. Wherever the Shun Army climbed up, Wu Sangui took his servants to kill him and drove the Shun Army who had finally climbed up to the city.

"General Wu, if you continue to fight like this, you are afraid that Shanhaiguan will soon be unable to defend it. When will the reinforcements arrive?" Wang Yongji asked.

Wu Sangui replied: "Mr. Wang, Dorgon's army has arrived at Huanxi Ridge five miles away. If they come, they can arrive in just one hour. But Jiannu just sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, wanting to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Wang Yongji said: "General Wu, please send the envoy to Dorgon's camp quickly and beg them to send troops to rescue him as soon as possible, otherwise our army may not last for two days."

"Mr. Wang, I'm afraid it's easy to invite the gods to send them to the gods. If Jiannu occupied Shanhaiguan, he might occupy the magpie's nest. At that time, we have to surrender to Jiannu." Wu Sangui replied hesitantly.

Wang Yongji sneered: "It is better to surrender the Tartars than to surrender the thieves! The former chief Huang Taiji is a virtuous and noble, and the student Fan Wencheng is highly valued at Jiannu. However, the thieves harmed the gentry and tortured the pay. The two of them took the minor harm to the tyranny of the thieves. Compared with the tyranny of the thieves, the Tartars are more kind to us scholars. General Wu, how should we choose? Isn't this obvious?"

"But..." Wu Sangui wanted to speak but stopped.
