The red guy had a sickly flush on his face, he forcibly suppressed his furious emotions, and said: "How strong is the Yanmen Pass, so dangerously it was actually blown down by Huang Han's gang, what did Xihan eat?" ”

He swept his eyes and saw Gong Adai with his neck shrunk in the group of generals, and said by name: "Gong Adai, you come to tell me, how did Xihan fight this battle?" ”

Xi Han was the nephew of the old slave and the cousin of the red man, and he did not ignore the instructions of Emperor Chongde, and really drove the Han people to bring a large number of stones and logs to make full preparations for perseverance.

When he found that the red flag of Yanmen Guandong was about to become red half of the sky, for the sake of safety, he did not lead the cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the unstable foothold of the "Red Banner Army", but sent messengers to gallop to Shuozhou City to dispatch reinforcements, and he personally climbed to the top of the city with the intention of defending it.

At this time, the Qing army was not afraid, they thought that they were much stronger than the Ming army's combat effectiveness, and they suffered huge casualties when they attacked Yanmen Pass, and they were almost ready to give up, but fortunately, there was a sudden civil strife in the city, and they were able to succeed.

It took three days for the main force of the Qing army to attack Yanmen Pass, and the men and horses of Xihan firmly believed that they would be able to hold this place for more than three days, and the reinforcements from the direction of Shuozhou City would definitely arrive.

Besides, it was not good to find that the defenders could retreat from the West Gate and not be trapped here.

Guarding the pass is not defending the city, there is no need to defend on all sides, the Qing army has concentrated more than eight adults and immediately faced the wall of the "Red Banner Army" attack direction, and can organize two thousand people to fire a salvo of bows and arrows at one time.

Sihan's wish is very beautiful, I'm afraid it won't come true!

When the Ming army attacking the city approached, he intended to lead the men and horses to fire arrows in unison, and ordered the bannermen and clothed minions to push down the rolling logs and stones and smash them fiercely, and at that time, I don't know how many "Red Banner Army" men and horses would fall under the city.

It is a pity that the "Red Banner Army" participated in the attack on Yanmen Pass with four battalions, and did not play a man-to-man naval battle with the enemy at all, but played firepower output, and no one was stupid enough to be stoned.

The chief general, Song Pengfei, personally commanded the attack, Sun Yuanhua was responsible for directing the artillery bombardment, Gong Saqi and dozens of intellectual young artillery non-commissioned officers were responsible for aiming the field artillery, and more than a dozen excellent artillery observers were responsible for providing the coordinates.

After observing from different directions, it can be confirmed that the Qing army guarding the pass did not have Hongyi cannons, and even did not see anyone using spears and birds, it is possible that these barbarians do not know how to play with firearms.

It may also be because of the fierce fighting at Yanmen Pass, the destruction of the artillery deployed by the Ming army, or the fact that the last defenders of the Ming army lit powder kegs and disappeared into smoke and dust with approaching enemy troops and artillery.

Even so, the gunners searched the wall at a distance of 200 paces, found that the enemy had hidden cannons, and concentrated on the gunners, trying not to let the enemy artillery open fire calmly.

A total of 36 Hongyi field guns were erected in the eastern part of Yanmen, including nine twelve-pounder guns and seventy one-pounder furlong machines.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no more gun emplacements, four battalions would have had one hundred and sixty one-pound furlong machines to fire a salvo, and Rao had only fired one salvo to scare the Qing soldiers.

That's because the fortification materials on the gate were piled up, the field artillery of the Ming army hit hard and accurately, and the solid bullets of the thirty-six Hongyi field guns hit the piles of stones and wood It was definitely a disaster, and it simply played the role of a grenade.

The flying rubble and the dancing giant trees made the Qing soldiers who tried to defend the city cry wolf howl, and I don't know how many people died without all the corpses, so that the guards kept lamenting when they harvested the first level of merit: "It's a pity, it's a pity...... It's all silver! ”

The head of Jiannu was beaten to pieces, of course, he could not be collected and reported to the imperial court.

The Weisuo army still thought a few years ago, thinking that the head of the enemy army could be exchanged for the head reward of the imperial court, which was a pity.

As everyone knows, today's general has full authority to contract Pingliao, and there is no longer the head of Jiannu to exchange for a beheading reward to the imperial court.

But the beheading merit still has to be counted, because the generals under the command of the civil and military generals have to get the ladder of promotion, and it is a shortcut to win military merit, and the Ming army and people will be encouraged to know that they have killed thousands of Qing soldiers.

Xihan is really a brave general, the moment before the Ming army prepared a salvo of artillery fire, he also stood at the head of the city with righteousness and awe-inspiring morale, who knew that the words did not fall, that is, the ground shook the mountain, and then the Qing soldiers could not find the main general.

That's because Xihan was so lucky, he was directly hit by a twelve-pound live ammunition, and the corpse didn't know where it flew, so when the final results were counted, there was no report of slashing the mountain and Zhen Xihan.

Gong Adai is the fourth brother of Xihan, knowing that the fifth brother Xihan still has some ability to fight, he lost so many men and horses and the garrisoned Yanmen Pass, it is impossible for the fifth brother to come back alive, and when he saw the master's questioning, he had to bite the bullet and say:

"It is estimated that the 'Red Banner Army' firearms are sharp, and there is no news of Xihan so far, so the minister can assert that he has been loyal to the country."

"It's a firearm again, and it can only be a firearm." The red guy gritted his teeth, as if he was muttering to himself, and as if he was venting. said: "Why are firearms so sharp in the hands of the 'Red Banner Army'? Can't I fight against the Qing army, which is skilled in bows and horses? ”

None of the Manmeng generals answered, and they all knew that the master was angry at this time, and no one wanted to be affected by the pond fish.

Seeing that the master was shocked to hear the bad news and seemed to be a little confused, Fan Wencheng whispered:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time it is necessary to speed up the march to Shuozhou City, judging from the battle of Yanmen Pass, the 'Red Flag Army' should be concentrated Most of the people who can maneuver to kill, and the main force of our army is scattered, and it is possible that Huang Han will be defeated and suffer a big loss."

Originally, it was thought that the "Red Flag Army" did not have the ability to fight with the 10,000 or 20,000 horses of the Qing Army, but judging from the rapidity of the attack on Yanmen Pass, I am afraid that it was wishful thinking, and the Red Gangsters were sweating on their foreheads.

He thought that he had to make troop adjustments at this time, and the ideal result was that when he engaged the main force of Huang Han, more than half of the people of the Qing army would enter the pass, and it would be best to reach eighty.

The 1st class Aung Bang Zhangjing Ilgen Kyaw Lo Ahsan had a close personal relationship with Sihan, and he was anxious to find the "Red Banner Army" to avenge his friend, and shouted:

"Your Majesty, our army can only walk forty or fifty miles a day with more than 200,000 Han dogs, and the minister suggests that these burdens be removed immediately and travel lightly."

At this time, Emperor Chongde was in the worst mood, and he asked angrily: "How is Aiqing going to get rid of the burden?" ”

"Kill, kill! As long as His Majesty gives an order, the minister will immediately start and leave no one behind. ”

"Phew! You are an ignorant horseman, you know that the slaughter of the small people, I have three orders and five shen to tell you to wait for less killing, all as the wind in your ears. ”

Emperor Chongde glanced at his ministers and said in a high voice: "The commander should be seen by the public, and he should be courteous, and if he is peaceful, then the Mongolian, Korean, and Han people will be happy and convinced." If you count your own merits and kill in vain, and do not sympathize with the reputation of our Great Qing Dynasty, it is unexpected. ”
