On the wall of the west side of Shanhaiguan, the wall is also a mess at this time, the battlements of the city wall that were originally neat have become dilapidated at this time, the city wall is full of blood, and there are also fragments of people's bodies, stumps and broken arms are everywhere, and some people's intestines are still hanging on some ruins and broken walls, which looks extremely terrifying.

Several artillery guns of the Ming army fell crookedly and overturned in the ruins of the city wall, and even two guns simply blew into broken horns, overturned into the inside of the city wall, obviously because the gunners were in a hurry, loaded with too much gunpowder, and hoarded too many projectiles, and exploded after ignition, and were overturned as a result, and under the bombardment of the Jiannu cannon, the defenders here suffered heavy losses, and killed a lot of officers and soldiers, making it a hellish scene on earth, and the air was not only filled with the smell of gunpowder. And it is also mixed with a strong bloody atmosphere, which is disgusting.

Many wounded soldiers were lying in the ruins, still screaming, moaning, crying and scolding loudly, and several soldiers gathered around an officer, crying: "Mr. Zhao Qian! You hold on! Reinforcements are coming! The heroes of the Great Chinese Army have arrived, and Jiannu has been knocked down! We're all right! ”

These soldiers surrounded by this Ming army general is not a bystander, it is just released by Wu Xiang and overstretched Zhao Tong, today he took over this section of the city wall, suffered from the onslaught of the Jiannu army, and because they were under the command of Zhao Tong, the resistance was very strong, so they also suffered the focus of the Jiannu heavy artillery, this day of fierce fighting, Zhao Tong's generals suffered heavy losses, killed dozens of people, and injured more than 100, almost completely lost combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for Zhao Tong always insisting on the city wall, constantly encouraging these soldiers to defend here, I am afraid that this place would have been broken by the Jiannu army at noon, it can be said that this group of Ming troops, under the leadership of Zhao Tong, exerted their combat effectiveness extraordinarily, and it can be said that the credit is basically on Zhao Tong's body.

The Jiannu army besieging the city attacked the city wall many times in the afternoon, and there were several short-handed encounters with the defenders, but they were all repelled by Zhao Tong's troops, but Zhao Tong himself was seriously injured, and his right hand was cut off by a Jiannu with a knife, and he was also hit by a gun, and he was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the Jiannu who killed him.

Zhao Tong was seriously injured, he still stood on the city wall and insisted on not retreating, calling out for the soldiers under his command to resist the onslaught of the Jiannu army, if it weren't for his tenacity, those Ming generals who did not belong to him would have abandoned the city wall and collapsed, and it was his tenacity that greatly infected the Ming generals who he had just taken over, and inspired them to desperately persist until the Dazhong army rushed here.

And Zhao Tong breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw the Dazhong Army rushing up the city wall, and immediately fainted on the city wall.

At this time, several soldiers saw that the Dazhong army not only knocked Jiannu down, but also rushed out and began to counterattack the Jiannu army besieging the city, so they hurriedly surrounded Zhao Tong, and while bandaging his wounds, they called him loudly and told him the good news.

Zhao Tong's blood was almost dry, but under the loud calls of the soldiers, he still woke up leisurely, and the soldiers didn't know where to get a little water, wiped his face clean, and could see that his face was very pale, and it could even be said that it looked scary, and his dark skin seemed to be transparent, and his spirit was also very calm.

Zhao Tong wanted to reach out and stand up on his shoulder, only to find that his right hand was gone, but he just glanced at the broken arm, but he didn't show any fear, just said in a weak voice: "Help me up!" I want to see the counterattack of the Great Chinese Army on Jiannu! ”

Several soldiers persuaded him: "No, Mr. Zhao Qian, your injuries are too serious, we have already gone to ask for a medical officer!" Lie down and rest! The Medic will be here in a moment! ”

"Nope! Help me up! Help me up! Zhao Tong's emotions began to become excited, and he insisted on saying to several of his soldiers in a weak voice.

Several soldiers couldn't help crying loudly, they knew that Zhao Tong was so seriously injured, I am afraid it would be difficult to save him, and Zhao Tong is likely to return to the light at this time, he wants to stand up and take a look at the close, it may also be his last wish, so these soldiers couldn't bear to watch Zhao Tong go away with regret, so they cried and endured their grief and put Zhao Tong up.

Although Zhao Tong didn't take some of them for a long time, but at the end of this day, Zhao Tong's bravery won their respect and recognition, and at this time, more soldiers began to gather and surround Zhao Tong's side.

Zhao Tongqiang supported by the support of the soldiers, slowly "stood up", opened his eyes vigorously, and looked towards the pass, at this time, a group of cavalry of the large Chinese army was roaring out from the nearby gate, shouting to kill the heavens and enter the battlefield under the pass, and pounced on the Jiannu army under the pass.

Zhao Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Kill the slave!" Slave Killing ......"

His voice was not loud, after all, he was already a dying man, but these few slave killings, listening to the ears of the army, were like rolling thunder, and everyone immediately raised their arms and shouted after him, "Kill slaves!" Kill slaves! ……”

This roar immediately spread out, and the defenders in all directions gradually merged into this roar, and the sound of killing slaves can be said to resound over the entire Shanhaiguan, rolling in all directions like thunder.

And Zhao Tong watched the cavalry of the Dazhong Army kill out of the city like a fierce tiger, and crashed into the Jiannu army under the pass, and the Jiannu people who were killed immediately turned on their backs and began to rout, so after he shouted a few times, he gradually closed his eyes with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his body immediately softened.

At this time, a few of his soldiers found that Zhao Tong had already left at this time, and closed his eyes forever, so these soldiers suddenly all cried bitterly, some of them clenched their fists, and screamed like crazy: "Kill slaves!" ……”

Zhao Tong, originally a little-known figure, an ordinary Han people living in Liaodong, after the Jiannu army, the whole family was killed by the Jiannu, and then in revenge, into the Guanning army, although there are small military achievements, but there is not much achievement, after the accumulation of merit rose to the general, guarding the Shanhaiguan, before his death, he took refuge in the Dazhong Army, and attacked and killed the Jiannu envoys under the personal leadership of Shanhaiguan, forcing Wu Xiang to finally take refuge in the Dazhong Army.

And the next day was promoted to a thousand generals, led the troops to garrison the wall, and died on the wall on the same day under the battle, and stood on the wall before death and shouted to kill the slaves.

After Zhao Tong's death, his exploits were told to Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian decreed, with the position of the general of the Dazhong military camp, he was buried on the corner of Shanhaiguan, so that he could guard Shanhaiguan forever with his body, and moved his spirit card into the loyal martyrs' shrine of Shanhaiguan of Dazhong Army, and forever for future generations to worship and pay respects, and specially erected a monument for him, stating his merits, so that many people in later generations know his name, which can be described as a hundred generations of people who died well.

His cemetery on the corner mountain of Shanhaiguan has also become a holy place in later generations, and all those who travel to Shanhaiguan must go to his tomb to see the statue erected for him by later generations, and remember this great battle that happened here that affected the fate of all Chinese.
