After Ning finished saying this, Zu Dale sneered again and again.

He tapped his fingers on the fortress and teased: "Yo, to hear you say that, this soldier still has to listen, what kind of ivory can you spit out of this dog's mouth?" “

Hearing this naked sarcasm, Ning Wan laughed embarrassedly at self-deprecation, he sighed lightly, and arched his hand to Zu Dale from afar: "Chief Soldier Zu, I think it is below, there is a way for people to live for a lifetime, grass for an autumn, and those who plan and plot are nothing more than fame and fortune." A high-powered and battle-hardened hero like General Zu is so precious and rare. I, Daqing, have great admiration for you, the general, and I am very willing to deliberately win you over. ”

Ning Cheng paused, and sighed again: "The general is full of great material, but the pearl is secretly invested, and he falls to the border pass, Ning wants to come, and he is also embarrassed in his heart." But General Zu was unwilling to succumb in the Ming court, and I was thirsty for talent in the Qing Dynasty, Huairou Yuanren, and the general came to my Qing Dynasty, but he will be able to show his strength and make meritorious deeds. Zu Zongbing, those who know the times are Junjie, such a good opportunity to serve the Qing Dynasty must not be easily missed! ”

Seeing Zu Dale brushing his beard with a thoughtful expression, Ning Wan thought that he had been moved, so he immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, Zu Zongbing is such a handsome man among people, so smart, in fact, why bother to say more here." If you can recognize the situation, don't use the sword soldiers, and lead the people to vote for me in time, my Qing regent Dolgon, seeing such a righteous deed of the Zu General Soldier, although he dare not say that he will be greeted by Cao Cao back then, but he will definitely give the general a very good treatment. Such as sealing the king and marquis, rewarding money, etc., are not a problem. It can be guaranteed that as long as the general can lead the people to surrender to the pass, General Nazu and your subordinates will continue to be able to obtain high-ranking officials and lords in the Qing Dynasty, and everyone can keep their wealth and power.......

"Believe it! Wu Na thief, you have to be clever and orderly, and then come to confuse the soldiers! ”

Before I finished speaking, Zu Dale widened his eyes and interrupted him with a loud shout: "You thief, you are shaking your lips and talking like this, just thinking that you can let us surrender the city without using swords." Hum! Dream on you! ”

Zu Dale's face showed a cold color, and he continued to say loudly: "At this time, although the Ming Emperor was loyal and martyred, and the noisy Beijing was covered with dust, it was really a time of many disasters and difficulties. But we are all loyal and righteous people, and we still have the responsibility of defending the land for the country, how can this Ming territory be abandoned lightly! You will not be like you, a thief, who will become a shameless person who betrays his ancestors and turns his back on China, and strives to survive in front of the Tartars! Let me tell you, even if our army fights to the end of the army, it will not bow down to your Tartars! ”

"Chief Soldier Zu! Why are you so stubborn, and why are you here to say all these angry words. Ning Wan I saw that Zu Dale was soft and hard, and his heart was also very angry, his eyes rolled, and his face was immediately filled with false sympathy, and he sighed and said: "General Soldier Zu, you have also seen that my army is going all the way south, under the momentum, the military power is so strong, who can stop it, it can be said that it is overwhelming." Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, was extremely smart and decisive, and when he saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately led the crowd to surrender the city, avoiding a sword fight. I dare to predict that for General Wu Sangui, who can recognize the situation in a timely manner, the regent will definitely treat him favorably, and he will never lose his princely position! “

"General Soldier Zu, look at your Shanhaiguan again, the border is remote, there are no reinforcements outside, and now it has been surrounded by my large army, and there is no possibility of escape. If you really want the two armies to tear their faces and see each other, then on the day the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! In such a situation, how can it be a word of repentance! As long as you vote for me in the Qing Dynasty, the future must be a great and unlimited, why do you have to defend the lonely city, and the thousands of soldiers and horses under your subordinates will be in this fortress outside the border pass, I don't know who to go for, and finally buried your precious life in vain? In the next words, there is no other purpose, it is really from the heart, and I hope that the ancestor will think twice! ”

"Humph! Since this soldier has promised the country, he has already put this life and death out of the way, how can such an awareness only exist now, and how can you be a little traitor who can say that he can move! Rather finish me, if you want to make a big fuss here again and defile my ears and eyes, then don't blame this soldier for being rude! ”

After Zu Dale finished speaking, he took the bow and arrow from the guard's hand, put the bow on the arrow, squeaked and filled, and looked at it really, and with a whoosh, he shot it out towards Ning Wan.

The arrow screamed past Ning Wan's face, and he was so frightened that he immediately turned his horse's head, and together with the guards, he turned around and fled without hesitation, and rushed towards the Qing army's main formation.

Ning Wanme, who fled back to the main camp out of breath, hung his head and said to Azig in a dejected and gloomy manner: "Prince Ying, go down to Guan Xia and persuade him bitterly, how can he not eat the soft and hard of Nazu Dale, and he will definitely fight against our army to the end, this person is really hateful!" It seems that the only way to do this is to send troops by Prince Ying to attack the city and capture this Shanhaiguan. ”

"Humph! I didn't expect Zu Dale to be so ignorant, and he really gave him a shameless face, so don't blame this king for being ruthless and ruthless! After listening to the report, Azig looked annoyed, and he shouted sharply: "Pass on the military order of this king, let the whole army step up the construction of siege equipment, and as soon as the equipment is built, immediately attack the city in an all-round way, and this Shanhaiguan, which is known as the first Xiongguan in the world, will be taken by this king in one fell swoop!" ”

"The minion obeys!"

The next Xiangtian, Shanhaiguan, fell into an extremely oppressive silence.

The Qing army cut down trees nearby, transported equipment, and built siege equipment on a large scale.

The 2,000 defenders in Shanhaiguan saw the actions of the Qing army with a numb to dull gaze. Zu Dale was sure that if he hadn't relied on his years of prestige and harsh military discipline to restrain these people, perhaps many people would have been frightened by the momentum of the Qing army and fled the city.

Among them, including his only son Zu Zeyan.

On the same day, when Zu Zeyan saw his father personally shoot away Ning Wan and the others who came to persuade him to surrender, he turned pale with fright, looked at his father's gaze, and was very puzzled and confused.

Although he didn't speak, Zu Dale could intuitively feel in his heart that he must have been shocked by the momentum of the Qing army with many soldiers and horses, so he was quite dissatisfied with his complete severance of the road of peace talks and surrender with the Qing army.

Every time Zu Dale thought of this, he felt inexplicable sadness in his heart.

It's just that the military affairs are urgent, and he has to patrol the city back and forth every day to ensure that all defenses are ready, so he doesn't pay much attention to such changes as Zu Zeyan.

Shanhaiguan, the world's first Xiongguan, in the atmosphere of extreme depression, under the siege of the Qing army like an iron barrel, spent six days, in the early morning of the seventh day, around the city of Shanhaiguan, have sounded a deafening horn.

The well-prepared Qing army is finally about to start the siege.

In such a day, in order to boost morale, Zu Dale, the chief soldier who had been eating and sleeping with ordinary soldiers at the head of the city, opened his swollen eyes and immediately saw a scene that shocked him.

Three huge and sturdy, wet cowhide siege vehicles, pushed hard by a large number of Qing troops, towards the east, south and north gates of Shanhaiguan, slowly pushed forward, the squeak of the wheels rolling, clearly into the ears of every defender in the city.

As far as the eye can see, more Qing troops, carrying long siege ladders made of birch, like big centipedes that can crawl automatically, are approaching the Shanhaiguan city wall in all directions.

Seeing that the momentum of the Qing army's siege of the city was so grand and terrifying, many of the defenders at the head of the city turned white with fright, and many of them had their legs trembling slightly.

"Pass on our military orders, closely observe the offensive dynamics of the Qing army, and once you enter the attack range, immediately fire artillery and fire, and kill the enemy as much as possible!"

Zu Dale, who was also shocked in his heart, tried his best to restrain the panic in his heart, and pretended to give orders calmly.

"Yes, in obedience!"

A standard battle of attack and defense in the late Ming Dynasty officially began.

After the Qing army pushed the cart and carried the siege ladder to reach the attack range of the defenders' artillery, the cannon of the big general, the second general cannon at the head of the city, the Hongyi cannon, the tiger squat cannon, the Franco, the small copper cannon, the small iron cannon and other artillery fires roared one after another.

The unevenly sized jet-black iron bullets and dense shotguns roared towards the Qing army besieging the city, and the Qing army's array quickly heard a series of screams.

What worries Zu Dale is that the Qing army seems to have been prepared for its own means of defending the city, their formation is very scattered, and the number of artillery at the head of the Shanhaiguan City is limited, so the lethality of the Qing army is very limited, until the Qing army attacked the city, only killed and injured hundreds of people.

At this moment, two deafening explosions sounded in succession, and the two guns exploded after only two rounds.

The dazzling golden fire, the sound of explosions that burst eardrums, the fragments of artillery, the bloody artillerymen, and the screams of the dying wounded rolling on the ground fully showed a hellish and terrible scene.

The artillery at the head of the city of Shanhaiguan has been placed in the city for many years, and no one has overhauled it at all.

These two loud explosions were not too far from the main general Zu Dale, and almost burst his eardrums.

He could feel the whole world quickly fall into silence.

Zu Dale, who was bleeding from his mouth and nose and covered with dust, didn't need to look at it to know that two guns had exploded.

And when he turned his head to look, he saw in the distance that two more piercing golden flames were spraying up, and it was obvious that at this moment, two more guns of unknown type were blown up.

At this moment, Zu Dale, who was in the silent world, was full of inexplicable sadness.

Although Zu Dale had also considered the problem of artillery explosions, he really didn't expect that these artillery pieces that had been in disrepair for a long time would perform so poorly on the battlefield and explode so frequently, so that they could not kill the enemy, but instead became a suicidal existence.

Such a suicidal artillery explosion was extremely demoralizing, and Zu Dale clearly saw that many artillery soldiers had been blown to death, and they howled and turned around and rushed down, and no one could stop them from fleeing.

Zu Dale's heart was in pain, he opened his mouth wide, and when his ears were not hearing clearly, he shouted as much as he could to greet the artillerymen at the head of the city, telling them to hurry up and fire the artillery, killing and wounding as many enemy soldiers as possible.

At this time, the Qing army under the city was approaching, and when the siege ladders began to get closer and closer to the city wall, a large number of Qing archers flocked to it. Skilled in archery, they were full of hard bows, put heavy arrows, squeaked and filled, and shot away at the defenders who were busy at the head of the city.

The roaring rain of arrows attacked the defenders at the head of the city, and before many of the defenders could react, they were immediately shot alive by the arrows that came from them, screaming and shooting alive.

The main general, Zu Dale, was almost hit, but fortunately the two guards used their shields to protect him in time, so that he escaped with his life.

To make matters worse, due to the sudden attack of the Qing archers, the defenders' musketeers were completely suppressed, and before they could finish loading their muskets, they were killed and wounded in large numbers of arrows, and quickly collapsed into the city.

The Qing archers struck a successful blow, quickly fired a series of arrows, and threw eight rounds of arrows, and only retreated backwards after their arm strength was exhausted.

These eight rounds of projectiles caused a lot of casualties to the defenders at the head of the city, and the artillery return fire had completely stopped, only the remaining sergeants were desperately firing back arrows, and of course, the remnants of the musketeers who had not fled, firing a sparse sound of guns.

Seeing that the defenders at the head of the city were killed and wounded, and there was no artillery to fight back, the morale of the Qing troops outside the city was greatly boosted, and they let out a beast-like howl, and they accelerated the pace of rushing forward.

Siege ladders quickly passed through the emergency pontoon bridges built on the moat, and they approached like centipedes that would crawl automatically, and the hooks of the ladder heads clung to the battlements at the head of the city, and leaned firmly against the head of the city.

Once the siege ladder was fixed, the swarms of the Qing army immediately went up the ladder like ants on a tree, and attacked the city head.

And those Qing troops who pushed carts to attack the city gate no longer had any scruples, they tried their best to speed up their advance, and brought the huge and heavy carts close to the direction of the city gate, and the Qing army began to lay wooden planks on the moat, making a simple pontoon bridge, ready to transport vehicles across the river, and then crash the city gate suspension bridge.

Shanhaiguan City, the world's first Xiongguan, instantly reached the most dangerous time.

Sadly, the Qing army began a frantic attack, and the defenders of the city had little power to stop it.

There were originally not many ash bottles at the head of the city, and they were thrown down in a sparse manner, and the damage to the Qing army was very small. And because of the urgency of time, the golden juice of feces that had not yet been boiled at the head of the city was also poured down in a hurry, and the damage also caused to the Qing army was very limited.

The more weak and inactive the defenders, the more rampant the Qing army under the city became, and the beast-like roar sounded continuously, almost endlessly, and all the Qing troops who climbed the ladder accelerated their pace of climbing.

At such a critical moment, Zu Dale personally stood at the head of the north gate, he drew his sword, his eyes widened angrily, and he was ready to fight to the death with the Qing army that was about to capture the city.

At this moment, as his ears gradually regained his hearing, he heard a dull thud in the distance.

He looked back in astonishment, but saw from a distance that the suspension bridge was suddenly lowered at the south gate of Shanhaiguan, which was guarded by his only son Zu Zeyan, and a large amount of dust was smashed, and the closed and reinforced city gate was slowly opened.

At this moment, Zu Dale's heart was like a knife, and his face was like dirt.

At this most critical moment, his most trusted biological son Zu Zeyan actually surrendered to the Qing army! 2k reading web
