The speed and efficiency of the Displaced People's Army are still very fast.

Even if they don't have many horses and livestock, they have to rely on 11 roads most of the time, but on this day a year ago, on the 29th day of the lunar month, their vanguard still arrived at the majestic Luocheng in Shanhaiguan.

This is mainly because Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry did not dare to come out, and they couldn't figure out what the size of the Wandering Army was at this time.

There is no harassment, there is no need to worry about being sneak attacked, the morale of the exile army is strong at this time, and they all want to make meritorious contributions, and their efficiency will naturally rise.

On the 30th day of the lunar month, early in the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, the main forces of Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin arrived one after another, and the boundless army made the Guanning army at the head of Shanhaiguan City gasp.

"The Thieves Are So Powerful......"

For a while, Hong Chengchou was a little dizzy, and he also understood at this time, why the thieves were able to take the Jingshi City, they were really imposing!

Ma Ke also swallowed a little hard, why the hell hundreds of thousands of people, how can this be played? Hurriedly looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Governor, something's wrong......

Hong Chengchou nodded, looked at Wu Sangui again, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Chief, have you decided?" ”

Wu Sangui's brows had already wrinkled into the word 'Sichuan'.

I thought that with their strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to resist the thieves.

Although his uncle's ancestral family and a group of people have completely fallen to the Qing army, the strength of their Guanning family is still very large.

Even if Liu Zhaoji and Wang Tingchen, who were really loyal to the Ming Dynasty, were eliminated, they were driven to the western front outside the Guanwai.

But his Ning Yuan Department, Hong Chengchou's Qin Army Department, and Ma Ke's Shanhaiguan Department have a total strength of not 100,000, but also eight. 90,000, plus whether it is an auxiliary soldier or a civilian man, they are extremely abundant, and there are also reserves of grain and grass, no matter how you calculate it, it is almost foolproof.

Not only can you pit the people's army, but you can even pit the Tartars!

Who would have thought that the thieves would be so large-scale, and looking at their battle array equipment, they were definitely much more powerful than they imagined.

For a while, Wu Sangui, who was originally in his chest, had no bottom in his heart for a while......

But how could he weaken his aura at this time? Immediately said calmly: "It's okay, don't worry!" Shanhaiguan is the first Xiongguan in the world, even if we don't arrange too many defenses under the city, with the equipment of the thieves, they can't come up at all! Wait for a few days, our elite riders will rush, and they will definitely be finished! ”

Wu Sangui is not a big support, after all, the Guan Ning Army is an elite who drank the blood of the Ming Dynasty, even if he doesn't count his core elite 'Yiding Assault Cavalry', just an ordinary cavalry is more elite than the elite cavalry of the Wandering Army.

Hong Chengchou nodded slowly, and his heart was a lot more steady.

Although he is known as a soldier and a good fighter, in the final analysis, he is still from Wenchen, and after the polishing of Songjin, he understands very well that he is not as good as Wu Sangui in front of him in terms of vision and strategy.

Wu Sangui is confident that they have the danger of Shanhaiguan, and there will be no problem in the future.

Not to mention Ma Ke, he is more like a politician than a decisive general, and he has always been the leader of Wu Sangui.

After all, the Wandering People's Army had just arrived at this time, and they didn't seem to have much siege equipment, and Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and Ma Ke didn't worry too much.

If this battle is going to really start, it will be next year.

But what they didn't expect was this!

The three of them still came and dispersed, went to the various departments to check the situation, and the Wandering Army had already moved!

In the passionate roar of "woo", tens of thousands of cannon fodder and hungry people of the homeless army were pushed out, and the two wings were Bai Guangen and Tang Tong, respectively, pressed the formation and quickly pushed over.

"I ...... They, what are they going to do? Do you still want to attack the city today??? ”

Marco's jaw was about to drop to the ground at once, it was incredible.

After all, it will soon be noon at this time, and it is estimated that it will have to be pushed until the evening just by bulldozing the earth, and it is no exaggeration to say that the move of the displaced people army is completely useless.

According to Ma Ke's thoughts, the siege of the city, especially the dangerous Luocheng of the mountain customs, must be carefully planned, and it must be launched early in the morning, so that the cannon fodder will first fill in the fortifications, and the offensive fortifications will be repaired, and then wait for the dawn to be thorough, almost, the main force will come out again, and directly start to storm the city in one go.

However, at this time, the actions of the Wanderers Army completely shattered Marko's worldview, and he began to despise the Wanderers Army.

With this little means, do you still want to come to Shanhaiguan?

Just kidding.

Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui also relaxed a lot, Wu Sangui smiled: "If the thief wants to play, then play." Governors, Ma Ye, even if the thieves are useless, we must also be well prepared. ”

"Okay, uncle, don't worry!"

……

Just when Wu Sangui and everyone were already relaxed, Liu Zongmin was calm and excited.

Looking at the huge defense of Shanhaiguan built by several Luo cities, his eyes showed a bloodthirsty light, and he said proudly: "This Shanhaiguan is worthy of being the first Xiongguan in the world. I also have to admire that the thoughts of the ancients are really huge. However, as the so-called success is also Xiao He and Xiao He, Wu thieves and others actually did not dig fortifications, which is not only looking down on us, but also giving us opportunities! ”

"Oh, you, do you have a way to break the enemy?"

Li Zicheng and the others originally thought that Liu Zongmin's large-scale attack at this time was just for show and scare Wu Sangui and the others, but they never thought that Liu Zongmin seemed to covet more.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with admiration, Liu Zongmin was even more excited, licked his tongue a little bloodthirsty, and explained with a smile: "I have asked people to read some art of war to me before, this Luo City is indeed strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can echo each other, if it is a strong attack, I don't know how many people will die, and it may not be able to attack." But at this time, don't forget, we have a great magic weapon! They want to cover each other and tear apart my Dashun's offensive, but it's not so easy! ”

"Tell me more."

Everyone was busy looking at Liu Zongmin, hoping that Liu Zongmin would understand the confusion, and Li Zicheng also looked at him with blank eyes.

But Liu Zongmin pretended to smile mysteriously: "Emperor, brothers, don't worry!" Heaven cannot be divulged! If nothing happens, today, you can break this Shanhaiguan City! ”

……

"Boom!"

"Boom ......"

When the offensive of the Wandering People's Army was pushed to the attack range of Luocheng in front of Shanhaiguan, countless artillery pieces on many Luocheng suddenly opened fire one by one.

But many elites of the Wandering Army, including these cannon fodder, have already learned how to guard against artillery fire in the process of fighting with the Model Army.

As soon as they saw that the artillery of the Guanning army at the head of the city was firing, before the sound of the artillery sounded, tens of thousands of homeless soldiers and hungry people all over the mountains and fields fell down one after another.

In the roaring artillery fire, the power of hundreds of artillery pieces of various types looked huge, but it was not enough to cause any real damage to the people of the Wandering Army.

And after five or six rounds of artillery fire in a row, even the red-coated cannon was a little stiff, and it was necessary to stop firing to cool the barrel.

"Fuck it, these bastards, when did these bastards learn so well! What the fuck is going to do? ”

At the head of the city, Marco was already a little anxious.

Shanhaiguan is his chassis, and many gunners are also his people, who would have thought that the artillery he is proud of on weekdays is actually not good at this time......

Looking at the mountains and fields, between several rounds of shelling, dozens of unlucky ghosts were killed, and not many were injured......

How else to play?

On both sides of the battle formation, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui's faces were also a little wrong, but at this time, they still didn't care much.

The Wandering Army didn't have siege equipment, so could it be that they could still fly to the top of the city?

Seeing that the artillery of the Guanning army at the head of the city was silent, the wandering army also began to move rapidly, throwing the bundles of dry firewood they carried with them on the ground and quickly igniting.

In a short time, outside the concave Luocheng of Shanhaiguan, countless fires were ignited.

The key is that at this time, the sea breeze is the east wind, blowing from the east, and the Guanning army on the head of the city was just about to scold these homeless soldiers for being stupid, but suddenly found that they didn't know what to add to the fire, and the smoke quickly drifted towards the city, and the choked defenders of the Guanning army coughed again and again.

Soon, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, and Ma Ke's vision was also blocked, and they couldn't see the situation clearly for a while.

Soon chaos appeared in Shanhaiguan City, and there was a wolf crying and ghost howling.

Fortunately, they were all elites, and they quickly stabilized, and they began to review and patrol the defense by pulling their throats.

"Haha, Ru Hou, how long your brain is, wonderful, wonderful!"

"Thou hou mighty!"

"It's worthy of you, hahaha......"

At this time, there was a lot of joy in the battle formation of the Wandering People's Army, and the generals licked their faces and patted Liu Zongmin's ass.

Li Zicheng also looked at Liu Zongmin with appreciation, and said with a smile: "In the past, Gaozu had Han Xin, and now I, Li Zicheng, have you, and the world can be determined!" ”

"Emperor, you can praise it, but today, I will give the emperor a surprise!"

Liu Zongmin's mood was also unstoppably comfortable, and on his dark face, the confidence and domineering of a mature man were beyond words.

That's what people are.

Encouragement is much more effective than scolding!

A child who is encouraged all the way is definitely more likely to become a talent than scolding all the way.

Of course, among the many Chosen Ones, the Sons of the Plane are certainly exceptions.

After all, if you really want to achieve great things, you must need brutal polishing.

However, at this time, Liu Zongmin was already extremely talented and experienced, and the admiration of the Wandering Army, coupled with Li Zicheng's high praise, his self-confidence had reached an unparalleled level.

Including the morale of the entire Wandering Army, it has reached an irreversible level!

Soon, as the fire ignited, countless hungry people continued to transport firewood to the front, and the front of the Wandering Army also continued to move, and it had been forced to a mile or so under the city of Luo.

This distance is already quite dangerous.

The cannon sound of the Guanning army in the city rang out one after another.

It's a pity that they are covered by smoke, and their quasi-heads are completely gone, and it is completely a 'fate mending knife method', and it will be over when they are released to the sky.

As the front progressed, the roasted ground gradually softened and became wet, and the wandering army behind it also began to build many earthen fortifications at a rapid pace.

At noon, the earthen walls of the Wandering People's Army had already formed a scale.

With the many Luo cities outside Shanhaiguan as the core, the front attack and the rear defense have stretched for several miles, and they have begun to layer up.

In less than an hour, the Wandering Army has gained a foothold on the battlefield and can begin to covet the initiative!
