On the day that Wang Pu and the others retreated, Qin Chuan sent someone to Jingle City to tell Li Dingliang that he would lead his troops to Ningwu Pass early tomorrow morning to rendezvous.

He also sent someone back to Lou Fu and asked Wang Jizong to send a pre-written note to Yangqu, and asked the officials in Shanxi to present it to the Beijing division for him.

The content of the recital is to first count one round of his own merits, saying that Zhu Youjun forced the ministers to rebel, and the ministers had to rebel.

He also said that Jiannu was about to enter the customs, and the national disaster was at the head, and the monarchs and ministers should abandon their previous suspicions, remove the gaps, and work together to fight against foreign enemies.

Qin Chuan expected that by the time Zhu Youzhen received this letter, it was when Jiannu was wreaking havoc in Xuanda and Xuanda, and by the time Zhu Youzhen's holy decree was sent to the hinterland of Luliang Mountain, he had already captured other military forts along the Inner Great Wall and controlled Lanzhou and other places in the northwest of Shanxi.

After getting the territory you want, you can make peace with Zhu Youzhen.

……

On the morning of the second day of Wang Pu's retreat, Qin Chuan left only 500 reserves to garrison Ninghua, and personally led 3,000 Guan imperial troops and 500 reserves, carrying cannons and various woods, to Ningwu Pass.

It's time to go and get Ningwu Pass.

Li Dingliang also led a thousand trapping camps, 500 reserves, 200 construction teams and 1,000 people, carrying reinforced concrete and sand and gravel, out of the city, and went north to Ningwuguan to join Qinchuan.

The construction team of more than 1,000 people who participated in the construction of the city wall of Montenegro Fort has been divided into four construction teams, one team is in Fangshan Fort and Luyukou Fort, one team follows Feng Yilong to Xingxian, the other team follows Luo Daniu and Li Dingliang to the north to Lanzhou, and the last team is Li Dingliang's 200 people, preparing to strengthen the defense facilities of Ningwuguan.

When Qin Chuan sent troops, Wang Pu had already led an army of 30,000 out of the customs and went to Xuanda and the two places.

Guarding Ningwu Pass was Jiang Xuan, the deputy chief soldier of Shanxi.

This young deputy chief soldier, like Zhang Yingchang, was born in a family of generals, and his brother and younger brother both led troops in the important town of Jiubian.

After Li Hongji captured Ningwu Pass and beheaded Zhou Yuji, Jiang Huang, who was the general soldier of Datong at the time, took the initiative to surrender to Li Hongji.

Li Hongji was beaten by Jiannu and Wu Sangui at Shanhaiguan, and the Manchu prince Azig led his troops to approach Da at the same time, Jiang Jiu rebelled against Da Shun, and beheaded Zhang Tianlin and other generals of the Da Shun army, and raised his head to surrender his name to the Manchu Qing Na.

After serving the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this product did not understand that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had the intention of entering the Central Plains, and even supported the Ming Dynasty's clan prince Zaoqiang King, which made the Manchu Qing extremely dissatisfied.

Not long after, this thing said that the Manchu officials did all kinds of evil, and they were extremely harsh on him, so he led his subordinates to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but was finally killed by his own subordinates, and took his head to surrender to the Qing again.

For this person, Qin Chuan summed it up in just one sentence: no head, no brain, repeatedly jumping horizontally.

When receiving the news that Qin Chuan led his troops to enter Ningwu Pass, Jiang Hao panicked, and hurriedly sent a fast horse to chase Wang Pu, who had just been away for a day, and asked for reinforcements to come to meet him.

Not long after Kuaima went, Qin Chuan arrived.

Qin Chuan was in a hurry to attack the city, and he did not set up a position, but let Emperor Guan's army wait behind, and he only brought a hundred red-clothed attendants to Ningwu Pass.

Walking a hundred steps away, Qin Chuan tore open his throat and shouted: "General Jiang Bing, Xiaguan Shanxi guerrilla attack on Qinchuan, ordered to rush to the aid of Xuanda to fight against Jiannu, and also asked General Jiang to open the gate to let Xiaguan and all the soldiers go out to kill the enemy, and raise the prestige of our Ming Dynasty." ”

At the head of the city, Jiang Hao frowned, his face a little puzzled.

Isn't the surname Qin a traitor?

Why was he ordered to go out of the customs to fight against Jiannu again?

"My lord, he's cheating the city." Ning Wu on the side, Wen Buyou, said in a low voice.

"Oh......"

Jiang Hao suddenly realized, and then he was annoyed, and shouted outside the city: "Qin Chuan, you don't want to trick me, if you are really ordered to go out of the customs, bring the order, otherwise, you don't want to pass Ningwu Pass."

Outside the city, Qin Chuan scratched his forehead and shouted: "General Jiang, the situation is urgent, there is no clerical order for the lower officials, only the emperor's dictation, and I ask General Jiang not to embarrass the lower officials."

"I, you're a traitor, and the emperor's dictatorship? It's ridiculous. ”

"Ahem, if General Jiang is determined to embarrass the official, he will not blame the official for being polite."

"Jiannu has arrived outside the border of Xuanda, when the country is in danger, the people are suffering, Qin can only storm Ningwu, break through the city, and go north to resist the enemy to save the people of the country in danger!"

"When the time comes, the responsibility for the crime will be borne by you Jiang Hao and the soldiers in this city!"

Qin Chuan's words were shouted in a subdued and sonorous manner. Everyone

When he had finished shouting, he turned his horse's head and galloped back.

"Bold rebel! If you dare to attack the city, you will have no return. ”

Jiang Jiu's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at Qin Chuan's back and scolded non-stop.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Wen Buyou on the side shouted loudly.

The officers and soldiers in the city were busy, carrying stones and rolling wood, preparing gunpowder and shells, and so on.

However, some soldiers were busy and muttered secretly, why did Lord Jiang go against the surnamed Qin, what if that person was really ordered to go north?

Even if it's not, the surname Qin is not easy to mess with, when he was still a small force before, Jingle City and Lancheng couldn't stop him at all, now, I heard that he has dozens of cannons, can Ning Wuguan stop him?

……

Under the command of Qin Chuan, Emperor Guan's army quickly divided into two parts, one remained in place, and began to assemble various siege equipment.

The other pushed forty artillery pieces to press Ningwu Pass.

After reaching a distance of two miles, Emperor Guan's army stopped, and eight Tianwei general cannons and twelve red-clothed general cannons began to aim at the city, while twenty Da Folang machine guns stood by.

At this time, several Guan Emperor soldiers continued to ride their horses forward, and came to a hundred steps in front of Guancheng, one of them ripped his throat and shouted: "Brothers of Ningwu Pass, I am the magistrate of Ninghua Qianhu Mo Dezai, my Lord Qin has never thought of embarrassing your brothers, but I just want to go north to kill Jiannu, but Jiang Jiu, the dog official, does not distinguish between right and wrong, regardless of the danger of the family and the country and the suffering of the people, he actually blocked Lord Qin from going north, in desperation, we can only follow Lord Qin to attack Ningwu and break through the city, if it is a disaster to your brothers, I also hope that you Haihan." ”

After Mo Dezai finished shouting, another Guan Emperor army shouted again: "Brothers in Chengguan, listen up, Jiannu is coming to Xuanda, it won't be long before you break through the border pass, hit Shuozhou and even Ningwu Pass, there are many brothers' families in the pass are in Yangfangkou and Shuozhou, if Jiannu hits here, the family members of the big guy will suffer." ”

"Brothers, Lord Qin is going to fight Jiannu and defend your family, don't follow Jiang Jiu's dog official, tie up that dog official, open the door to welcome Lord Qin, I will never be able to treat you badly."

"I am He Laopi of the Yangfang Hundred Households, do you remember me? I am now with Lord Qin, three meals a day, and meat, a monthly salary of one or two silver, never in arrears, all the big guys come to serve Lord Qin. ”

"Lord Qin will win every battle, he will be rewarded with silver and meat if he wins the battle, there will be a pension for the dead family, and Lord Qin will provide for the injured, and he will never treat the big guy badly."

"Big guy, do you remember what the Tartars did to us a few years ago? What about our hometown fathers? ”

"Follow Lord Qin to the north to kill Jiannu and kill the Tartars!"

The Guan Emperor soldiers shouted again, and the defenders at the head of the city began to stir a little.

Jiang Hao and Wen Buyou scolded again and again, and finally suppressed the commotion.

It is true that many of the defenders of Ningwu Pass have their families in the area of Shuozhou and Yangfangkou, because there is little arable land in the pass, most of the military fields in Guancheng are distributed in that area, and many of the defenders in Guancheng are military households, and their families are cultivating military fields in that area.

If Jiannu hits Shuozhou, and their families don't have time to evacuate, I'm afraid they will really suffer.

Qin Chuan deliberately waited for a while, and after seeing that the commotion at the head of the city was suppressed, he gave an order, and the eight Tianwei general cannons and the twelve red-clothed general cannons roared in unison, and bombarded the city head.

The defenders at the head of the city were in disarray, and they ran down the walls to avoid the artillery fire.

After three rounds of shelling, Qin Chuan asked the gunners to stop firing, and then sent several Guan Di soldiers to shout and persuade them to surrender.

After shouting again, the cannon continued to fire, and the city was bombarded indiscriminately.

Then, several more Guan Emperor soldiers went to shout.

After repeating this for several rounds, Qin Chuan asked the artillery to advance to a distance of one mile, and the twenty big Buddha cannons also joined the artillery ranks.

As the shelling became intensive, so did the psychological warfare.

The defenders in the city are also becoming more and more restless.

The artillery bombardment and heart-to-heart battle lasted for most of the day, and the next day, Li Dingliang's soldiers and horses also arrived.

He brought with him two Tianwei General Cannons, four Red General Cannons, and five Great Buddha Lang Machine Cannons that were originally stationed in Jingle City.

Seeing that the enemy outside the city had reinforcements arriving, and more than a dozen artillery pieces, the newly assembled siege towers and rushing shield vehicles also began to approach the city, and the defenders of Ningwu Pass became more and more uneasy.
