The army is starting to kick out!

From the assembly place to Lianshan Pass, it is only ten miles, and it can be reached in an hour.

The commander of this operation was Chang Wuye, and after Chang Wuye and Cheng Zongyou gave Wei Bao a standard military salute, they set off with the army.

This battle was extremely fierce, and tens of thousands of people attacked the fortified city, which was the first time in the history of the treasure army.

Even Hou San and Madman Tan hadn't had such an experience, so they were caught up by Chang Wuye, who was outside his fifties, and Cheng Zongyou, who was outside his sixties.

There were no specific tactics for the attack, no artillery support, only crowd tactics.

The treasure army had heavy siege vehicles, large trebuchets, and throwing canisters filled with fire oil, combined with poison gas canisters and a small amount of explosives, and the power was still there.

The army of more than 40,000 men was divided into eight groups of 5,000 men each.

Two groups were responsible for archery and stone throwing, gas canisters, and the other six were responsible for taking turns to siege the city, giving Jiannu no respite.

This is the maximum intensity of siege warfare.

"Great Khan, Wei Baojun's offensive is too fierce! I'm afraid I can't stand it! Abandon the Lianshan Pass, right? Fan Wencheng whispered to Nurhachi.

Nurhachi did not answer him, frowning at the tragic scene of the constant death.

Wei Baojun's most powerful thing was mainly a poison gas canister, and when he threw one, it caused a piece of yellow smoke, and the yellow smoke passed, and a piece of Eight Banners fell.

Although this poisonous smoke does not die when smelled, after smelling, because of the chlorine component, it will cause short-term suffocation, poor breathing, sore throat, tears, and inability to fight.

Wei Baojun's siege ladders, cloud ladders, and heavy siege vehicles kept rushing over.

"There's one less person left!" Nurhachi whispered to Fan Wencheng, this is Nurhachi directly admitting that he made a mistake in command, and he should not have let tens of thousands of troops enter southern Liaoning to encircle and suppress. This is a rare thing for Nurhachi.

Fan Wencheng nodded.

"But we can't abandon Lianshan Pass! If we leave, Huang Taiji and tens of thousands of troops will be trapped and die in southern Liaoning! "Nurha equator.

"The Great Khan didn't expect Wei Bao's new army to be so powerful, this is something that no one could have imagined! This is not surprising. Lianshan Pass can't hold it anymore! Even if someone is sent to deliver the message now, and Huang Taiji brings a large army back to help, I guess it's too late! Fan Wencheng said.

"It's too late! You have to defend it, too! You can't spend it with Wei Bao's army on the city wall anymore! Hurry up and send the book to Huang Taiji, and let him bring the army back at all costs! Ordered to abandon the gates and walls of Lianshan Pass, and all of them were transferred to the pass to fight with Wei Baojun! Fight for as long as you can! After everyone gets together, Wei Baojun can't use the poisonous mist! Although Nurhachi faced the crisis situation, he did not panic and calmly gave the order.

The heralds beside Nurhachi answered loudly, and several heralds rushed to deliver the order at the same time.

"The Great Khan will exit Lianshan Pass first! There must be no mishaps in the Great Khan. Fan Wencheng said.

"No, I'm going to be with my warriors! With me here, everyone can fight bravely. "Nurha equator.

Several generals around Nurhachi persuaded Nurhachi to go first and leave Lianshan Pass first, they would also fight bravely to kill the enemy, but Nurhachi just refused.

Wei Bao was watching the battle outside, thinking that even if he could break through Lianshan Pass, it would take at least a day's work, but he didn't expect that the army would attack for just over an hour before it broke the city?

"Xiaobao, look! We attacked. Wu Xuexia was so happy that she didn't remember to call the president in front of outsiders, and even called Xiaobao directly.

Wei Bao was not unhappy, nor was he very happy, his mind was not at all on what Wu Xuexia called herself, what was he thinking about what Lianshan Pass, which Nurhachi personally sits, would be so easy to break?

"Why don't you speak? What are you thinking? Wu Xuexia asked.

"What am I wondering what Nurhachi is going to do?" Wei Bao said casually, and after a few seconds of pause, he suddenly realized: "I know!" He's scared of our poisonous fog jars! Hehe, Nurhachi has been fooled, the poison mist jar needs to be attached to the fire, our firewood has already run out, and there are only the last dozens left, and there will be no more after another round! He must have thought that I still had a lot of these gas canisters, and he was so scared that he was going to fight us in the streets! This made us pick up a big bargain! ”

"Well, more than forty of us beat one of them, even if each of them is impregnable." Wu Xuexia affirmed.

Wei Bao snorted, but didn't say anything, he knew the toughness of Jiannu, how it was to fight, who knows?

Street fighting is not like a large-scale head-on hedge, which can squeeze some of the advantages of Jiannu.

The treasure army had a numerical advantage, more than 40 people fought one, and after a long time, they were tired and tired to death.

It turns out that Jiannu is really strong.

After the street fighting began, Wei Bao's army swarmed into the city of Lianshan Pass.

There are not many dwellings in the Guancheng of Lianshanguan, most of them are military camps, all of which are the kind of large shops for soldiers to live in, long wooden houses, and the walls are composed of large and thick logs.

Both sides didn't show much effort, especially the treasure army, there were many treasure soldiers, a group of people were huddled together, and all kinds of farm tools kept waving.

On the part of the Jiannu, they were much more well-trained, and in groups of several people, they were fended off in front with short knives and shields, and some were stabbed in the back with spears.

Wei Bao used a telescope to look at the officialdom on the city wall, only to see that the soldiers of the Bao Army kept dying, and he didn't see a single Jiannu die for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

In ancient times, Wei Bao really couldn't stand this way of slashing me and stabbing you.

"This is just the beginning, when the Jiannu is tired, it should be different, we have a lot of people, we have an advantage." Wu Xuexia saw that Wei Bao was unhappy and comforted.

"If I knew that it would be so easy to break the city, I should have arranged it before attacking the city, and after the city was broken, don't fight, set fire to the city first, and drive the Jiannu out." Wei Bao Road.

"Set fire? Jiannu is not stupid, and someone has to set it on fire, Jiannu will definitely crowd all in the direction of the city gate and not be burned by the fire, in that case, you will not be able to get Lianshan Pass for a while, and, have you forgotten? Let's fight here, Huang Taiji will definitely bring a large army back to help. Wu Xuexia retorted.

Wei Bao snorted, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Ximu City, not knowing if the army of nearly 100,000 people jointly composed of Wei Xianjue and Wei Quanzhong could resist the return of Huang Taiji.

Wei Bao was even worried about whether they would be able to get there on time.

Wei Xianjue and Wei Quanzhong's men and horses are already in place, and they are doing their best to prevent Jiannu from returning to Lianshan Pass.

Huang Taiji has already received the news that Nurhachi asked the Flying Eagle to pass on the book.

Huang Taiji immediately ordered to return to Lianshan Pass at full speed!

Wei Xianjue and Wei Duzhong's men and horses, and Huang Taiji and Dai Shan's soldiers and horses, because they were all mobile battles, so the treasure army could not build fortifications according to the fighting style they were good at, and could only shoot at Jiannu on the vast plain.

"Wei Baojun is crazy, this is to fight with us all!" Dai Shan looked at Wei Baojun who fell one by one, but he refused to retreat at all, he was very surprised by the fierceness of the Han people, and he didn't expect that these new Han troops could be so brave.

"They're trading their lives for time! If Lianshan Pass is lost, it is very likely that we will be sealed in southern Liaoning, there will be no reinforcements, no food and grass supply, and we can only be destroyed by Wei Bao's army in the end! So you must buy time, you can't waste it with them! "Huang Taiji Dao.

"If we continue to consume it like this, we will actually take advantage of it, but if we want to rush hard, the shield can resist the bow and arrow, but it can't resist the rocket! More of us will die. "Dai Shandao.

"I can't care so much anymore! Divided into three teams, return to Lianshanguan at all costs, can go back to one or two thousand people, can also solve the siege of Lianshanguan, as long as Lianshanguan is in our hands, the rest will be talked about later! Huang Taiji ordered loudly.

Dai Shan agreed, and then divided the army of nearly 10,000 people into three teams with more than 3,000 horses each with him, Yue Tuo and Zierharang, and Huang Taiji and Dai Shan were in the Chinese army!

"No, Jiannu is going to rush! We may not be able to resist! Wei Qianzhong anxiously watched as Jiannu was lining up and stopped attacking.

"Well, if they all get together, they will definitely not be able to stop the charge of the slaves! We still have about 80,000 people left, you take 30,000 people to stand here, and I will take 50,000 to retreat two miles! When your defenses are breached, they won't be able to break through mine! You go back and fight them again. When they regroup, we will divide half of the men and horses to retreat two miles to set up defenses, at least four or five more round-trips, how can we hold out until dark! Wei Xianjue said quickly: "In this case, it should be able to win enough time for the president and them to attack Lianshan Pass." ”

"Good way, that's it!" Wei Qianzhong agreed loudly, "Tuanzuo, you can lead people to retreat!" ”

Wei Xianjue immediately sent a herald to give the order, and a hundred battalions and an army of 50,000 began to retreat.

Huang Taiji, who was still assembling, saw the movement of the treasure army from a distance, and immediately saw through the intention of the treasure army, and said loudly: "The thief is so cunning! They are going to retreat and deploy, we can break through one defense, we can't break through the second! Then the first line of defense will chase us back and fight us! By the time we have repelled the thieves and then attacked their second line of defense, they may have already set up a line of defense behind them, and if we continue to fight like this, we are afraid that we will not be able to break through Wei Baojun's defense after dark. ”

"What then?" After Huang Taiji said this, Dai Shan immediately woke up and felt that what Huang Taiji said was very right.

"I can't think of a good way either! We can only hope that our warriors can kill fiercely and not leave time for the opponent to deploy again! It's best to be able to defeat them all with two or three strikes! After all, the opponent is the new army, and when more than half of the people die, they will be chilled, and they will not be so neatly arranged at that time! And our warriors will become more and more courageous! "Huang Taiji Dao.

Dai Shan agreed loudly: "That's right! "But I secretly thought in my heart, doesn't what you said mean you didn't say the same? Who doesn't know how hard to fight?

However, although Wei Baojun's combat effectiveness is very weak, most of them are recruits with farm tools, and those who can shoot arrows are not even more than 20%, and the power of bows and arrows is not strong, but the opponent does have a hand in the formation, no matter how it is impacted, they all stand very neatly, and there will be no sudden collapse.

This is all thanks to the military system of the treasure army! The Bao Army is composed of squads, platoons, companies and battalions, and when it reaches the level of company commander, at least it has passed a big cycle, starting with recruits, training in the reserve force of the garrison headquarters, and then entering the escort or land guard, and then being promoted to non-commissioned officer after meritorious service, and then entering the president's guard, and then returning from the president's guard back to the company officer.

These officers can't say how capable they are, but after a series of evolutions, their military literacy is already very good.

As long as the officers know how to fight and they don't mess up, the battalions, companies and platoons they lead will not be out of order, so there is no possibility of a collapse at all.

Dai Shan, Zilharang, and Yue Tuo quickly divided the three armies and immediately launched a charge!

The three-way army of Daishan, Jilharang and Yuetuo braved the rockets of the treasure army, each threw down hundreds of corpses, and rushed into the camp of the treasure army.

was rushed into the camp by Jiannu, and the treasure army could only scatter while fighting.

"Don't chase! Don't chase! Continue to attack forward, and now the first goal is to return to the Lianshan Pass! Huang Taiji said loudly to Dai Shandao.

Dai Shan was very unwilling, such a good opportunity to chase and kill could only be missed, and he could only loudly restrain his subordinates and continue to attack and advance.

If Jiannu disperses the pursuit, then I really don't know when I will be able to reach Lianshan Pass, although I can completely annihilate nearly 100,000 treasure troops, but I will lose Lianshan Pass, which is something that Jiannu cannot allow to happen.

In this way, after a wave of attacks by the Jiannu army, it was able to advance three miles, but it also had to pay the price of four or five hundred dead and wounded.

And the treasure army also had to pay the price of at least four or five thousand dead and wounded.

In one day, Jiannu launched more than a dozen waves of offensives and advanced sixty or seventy miles.

When there were still the last thirty miles left from Lianshan Pass, there were still more than 3,000 people left in Jiannu.

And the nearly 100,000 horses of the treasure army have also died, and more than 30,000 people remain, and the ratio of the numbers on both sides has not changed much, and it is still almost ten to one.

Huang Taiji, Dai Shan and others were in a hurry in the center of light and shadow at dusk, and all the Jiannu soldiers were covered with blood, including Huang Taiji.

Even Huang Taiji personally threw himself into the fight, which shows what Jiannu is anxious about.

Cong Gulen Gege has been watching the battle outside in the carriage, it is not the first time she has seen the army fight, such a tragic battle, she really sees it for the first time.

In the past, the elite battles of the Eight Banners were always one-sided pursuits, the Ming army fled one-sidedly, or the Ming army defended the city.

"Gege, Wei Bao's men are so tough! I think they are even better than the Ming army! Mo Yaqi was also sitting in the carriage, sitting next to Cong Gulen Gege.

"It's not that Wei Bao's army is stronger than the Ming army, they are actually some farmers who can't fight, it's Wei Bao who is so powerful, he can make so many farmers die and die for him, and I don't know what method he used. If the Han people had resisted like this, my father Khan would not have been able to obtain large tracts of land in Shengjing and Quang Ninh now. "Cong Gulen Ge said.

"Wei Gongzi is very powerful! I wonder what happened to the Great Khan? If we can't get to Lianshan Pass in time to relieve the siege of the Great Khan, the Great Khan will be in danger, and Baylor's army and Gege will be in danger. Mo Yaqi nodded slightly. Although Wei Bao is the enemy of the Dajin Kingdom, Mo Yaqi has always called Wei Bao Gongzi and does not scold him.

"I don't have to worry, Wei Bao won't hurt me." Cong Gulen Gege sighed and said: "I'm worried that Father Khan will fight to the death, if Father Khan is killed by Wei Bao, or captured by Wei Bao, Father Khan is such an upright character, he will definitely die unyielding." ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he wiped away tears.

Mo Yaqi hurriedly untied the Yunpa under his armpit to wipe away his tears for Cong Gulen Gege: "Don't worry, Gege, if the Great Khan can't resist, he will withdraw, and it will never be fine." ”

"It's not that you don't know your father's khan, when did your father sweat leave his subordinates and escape alone? Moreover, Father Khan had never experienced such a situation. Cong Gulenge choked.

In fact, Nurhachi has developed to this extent, what winds and waves have not been experienced in his life? It's just that Cong Gulen Gege has been sensible since he started, and in her impression, the Eight Banners Army is invincible.

That's why she thought that Nurhachi had never experienced such a difficult situation.

Jiannu is in a hurry, and Wei Xianjue and Wei Qianzhong are even more anxious, because Lianshan Pass has not been taken down yet!

They had been sending scouts and cavalry back and forth between Lianshan Pass and the position, and the position was getting closer and closer to Lianshan Pass, and the number was getting smaller and smaller.

The soldiers of the Bao Army, who were responsible for stopping the Jiannu army, were already exhausted.

And these are all new soldiers, and in a day with Jiannu, there have been more than a dozen fierce battles, and most of the remaining more than 30,000 soldiers are already frightened. I watched the countless armies become smaller and smaller.

The morale of Jiannu was not greatly affected, and the same serious attrition situation, the disadvantage of the lack of training of the new army of the treasure army became more and more obvious, and the blocking army could collapse at any time.

There are also people who are more anxious than Wei Xianjue and Wei Quanzhong, and that is President Wei.

At this time, Wei Bao was watching the battle situation that lasted for a whole day in Lianshan Pass, and the flames were everywhere.

Up to now, Lianshan Pass has not been completely taken, and Nurhachi still personally led more than 100 people to resist at the other side of the city gate.

And there were less than 10,000 left of the more than 40,000 troops attacking Lianshan Pass, and even Chang Wuye and Cheng Zongyou personally engaged in white-knuckle battles.

"It's dark! Rush back and kill all the Han people! Reclaim the lost territory! Nurha screamed in her throat!

More than 100 Jiannu soldiers, all of whom have experienced a hundred battles and can stay until the last moment, are all Nurhachi's most trusted generals, and when they are brave, with Nurhachi's order, they really began to fight back again, and after a day of fighting, they still have spare strength.

"Great Khan, let's exit Lianshan Pass first, shall we? Regardless of whether they can hold the Lianshan Pass or not, the Great Khan is gone, so they can have no worries! If the Great Khan is captured by Wei Bao, everything will be over! Fan Wencheng persuaded with tears: "Let's withdraw from Lianshan Pass first, I promise to let the Great Khan know the battle situation in Lianshan Pass at every moment." ”

Nurhachi was not afraid of the treasure army that would pounce at any time, but he knew that he must not be caught or killed by Wei Baojun, he was too important to the entire Dajin Kingdom!

"Wait for a stick of incense, if the reinforcements are not yet there, I will take a few people to withdraw first!" Nurhachi sighed and finally agreed to Fan Wencheng's suggestion.

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly lit a stick of incense used to keep time.

"Let go of the wolf smoke, contact Huang Taiji and them again, and see where they are!" Nurhachi continued.

"Yes, Great Khan!" One of Nurhachi's own soldiers agreed, and threw the torch into an urn filled with wolf dung beside him.

The wolf smoke suddenly rose, and although the light and shadow of dusk were weak, it could still be seen from afar.

If it is completely dark, the wolf smoke will not be visible.

This was the last chance to make contact between Nurhachi and Huang Taiji.

At this time, Huang Taiji and the others were already less than fifteen miles away from Lianshan Pass!

Originally, there were still more than 30 miles away, but they just attacked too fiercely, breaking through the two defense lines of the Bao army in a row, and the Bao army was tightly entangled for more than ten miles before they once again dragged the pace of the Jiannu army.

"It's the Great Khan's wolf smoke! Lianshan Pass is still in our hands! "A pro-soldier said to the emperor.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "We will also release wolf smoke!" ”

"Yes, Baylor!" The pro-soldier agreed loudly and hurriedly set out to release wolf smoke!

The wolf smoke of Huang Taiji echoes the wolf smoke of Nurhachi.

"Great Khan! Look, it's our wolf smoke! Huang Taiji is less than fifteen miles away from us! After Fan Wencheng made a visual inspection, he hurriedly announced.

Nurhachi also set up a tent and hurried to see it, and said happily: "Great! Huang Taiji: They rushed back! Tell the warriors, hold on a little longer! It looks like they will be there in half an hour at most! Let's not go! ”

"Great Khan, no, it's better to withdraw from the city first after a stick of incense!?" Fan Wencheng said: "If they had returned to the division normally, Huang Taiji and Daishan and their men and horses should have returned to Lianshan Pass a long time ago, obviously blocked by Wei Baojun's blocking army!" Also, now most of Lianshanguan is in the hands of Wei Bao! When the reinforcements come back, they have to break through the city gate first! It's not easy. We don't have many men left. It's better to sweat out of Lianshan Pass, and then let Baylor and them not go back to Lianshan Pass, and go out of the mountain road on both sides of Lianshan Pass, right? The mountain roads on both sides of Lianshan Pass have not yet been blocked by Wei Bao's military city wall, and it is not too late to try to recapture Lianshan Pass after the army meets. ”

"No! Do you want me to give up Lianshan Pass? This is absolutely not a no-go! Lianshan Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you lose Lianshan Pass, where can you easily take it back? Moreover, once Lianshan Pass is in the hands of Wei Bao, even if the mountain roads on both sides of Lianshan Pass are still passable, we dare not bypass Lianshan Pass and enter southern Liaoning, it is easy to be cut off by Wei Bao's army, and the whole army will be surrounded! Nurhachi didn't think about it, so he rejected Fan Wencheng's advice. Said firmly: "Lianshan Pass must not be lost!" Losing Lianshan Pass, we have lost the entire southern Liaoning! ”

Fan Wencheng didn't speak, secretly thinking, if you can't even save your life, what are you going to do to guard the mountain pass? A mountain pass, is it not as good as your life? Liaonan can't be lost, can it catch up with the life of Your Majesty the dignified Dajin Kingdom?

Just when Nurhachi was hesitating and undecided, Wei Bao also saw two wolf smoke released by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji one after the other.

"Not good! Huang Taiji has brought people back! It's already very close to Lianshan Pass! Wei Bao said: "Let people close the city gate, and the emperor must not be allowed to enter the Lianshan Pass!" Send my president's guard out and quickly deal with the remnants of Jiannu in Lianshan Pass! ”

Wei Bao quickly gave two orders in a row, and he was reluctant to send his president's guard out as a last resort.

Like the recruits of Wei Baojun, forty or fifty people may not be able to fight to the death of a Jiannu.

Veterans of the Escort and Army Guards, maybe a dozen can fight to the death of a Jiannu.

And the non-commissioned officers of the President's Guard, almost five or six can fight to the death of a Jiannu, and they fight very steadily.

But the non-commissioned officers of the President's Guard, it will take at least half a year or more to see which people are talented and suitable for the job of the army, and the training cycle is still secondary, and it is not easy to find people with military talents, and 10,000 young and middle-aged people may be picked out about 100.

Previously, the Mingting Water Division Battalion was fought in Hejian Mansion, and the President Guard was also used several times in southern Liaoning, and everyone had already died in a circle, and the current President Guard was all non-commissioned officers who had recently been transferred, and because of the shortage of military officers, the recently transferred non-commissioned officers were definitely not as high-quality as the non-commissioned officers who came up according to the normal process before.

The subordinates agreed and immediately conveyed the president's order.

There were already more than 100 Jiannu in Lianshan Pass, and now they were just rushing back with a breath, and they were already at the end of the crossbow!

No matter how perseverance people have, no matter how physical strength they have, there is also a limit, after all, people are not machines, machines also have to refuel, Jiannu at the beginning of the Baojun project, it was only a little more than a thousand people, and now it is the last hundred people, it is conceivable that these hundred or so people are tired.

Now the President's Guard is rushing, and the battle is about to end in a blink of an eye!

"Great Khan, no, it can't be delayed any longer! Lianshan Pass will definitely not be able to hold it, and they can't wait for Baylor to return to defense! Fan Wencheng shouted hoarsely.

"Withdraw! Evacuate Lianshan Pass! "Nurhachi is a person who has been in battle for a long time, and he knows at a glance that he really can't stand it, so he doesn't need Fan Wencheng to say more, and loudly summons a few personal soldiers around him to leave quickly.

Nurhachi and the others opened the city gate and retreated straight to the east of Lianshan Pass.

Lianshan Pass all fell under the control of Wei Baojun.

You can't use the Eagle to pass the book on the battlefield.

After Nurhachi withdrew from Lianshan Pass, he could only wait, lost Lianshan Pass, and wanted to send someone to contact Huang Taiji, but he could only resign himself to fate, and he might not be able to find Huang Taiji's people, Nurhachi sent someone to inform Huang Taiji that there was no need to attack Lianshan Pass, and Lianshan Pass had been lost! Let Huang Taiji hurry to break through from the mountain road near Lianshan Pass and rush out of southern Liaoning.

"Finally won the Lianshan Pass!" Wu Xuexia looked at Wei Bao excitedly.

Wei Bao was indifferent, with more than 40,000 troops, less than 10,000 people were left to take Lianshan Pass, there was really nothing to be happy about.

Wei Bao didn't know that Nurhachi had been in the city all along, and he had just fled, and he thought that Nurhachi had already left.

If you know that Nurhachi has just left, you must be even more annoyed.

However, now Wei Bao didn't care about anything else, staring at the direction of Huang Taiji and Dai Shan's army.
