Sony, who finally put on several sets of armor from the inside out, was stopped by several Jurchen generals who rushed to report the news before he had time to show his might and vent his murderous intentions.

"Lord Sony, a large number, a large number of Han troops have entered the city, and I am fighting with the other party with the Yellow Banner, and please retreat to Nancheng quickly!!"

Sony's henchman Sha Keshuang anxiously stopped Sony, who was angry and rushed to the crown, and didn't have time to explain too much to him, so he took the lead and led a war horse to send him up, and escorted Sony in the direction of Nancheng.

Hongtang Wu Jie's action was too sudden, after all, no one expected that in the safest rear, there would be such a strong army suddenly attacking the city, and there was also Neiying to collude with it, and when the Jurchen and Han soldiers in the city who had been a little slack in the past year reacted, the north gate of Shanhaiguan had all fallen into the hands of Hongtang's army.

In the chaos, Wu Jie and the others will not do anything steady, and now that they have a first hand to make the Jurchens confused, the Hongtang soldiers will not give the Jurchens time to react.

Just hurriedly cleaned up the recalcitrant elements in the occupied area, and stayed in the inner army to clean up and suppress the remaining remnants of the enemy, and the 30,000 soldiers who came from afar in Hongtang spread their feet and chased after the enemy's deserters and other traces to cover up.

The largest stubborn defense line, in the inner city such as Shanhaiguan, there are 7,000 soldiers stationed in the Jurchen 10,000 elite soldiers, when the Hongtang soldiers killed here, with the delay of the Qing soldiers in the northern city before, the Jurchen elites in the inner city reacted in time, and temporarily formed a defense line under the greeting of the officers, relying on the fortifications of the inner city will resist the Hongtang soldiers who killed here.

"Brothers, follow in my footsteps, rush!!"

It is not for nothing that the Hongtang army has maintained a very high combat effectiveness, and when they are head-to-head on the battlefield, the backbone military attachés of the Hongtang army below the platoon level have always taken the lead and taken the lead in the charge, not only have an excellent sense of battle and a keen sense of battle, but at the same time, their bloody and courageous fighting is more useful than any words of encouragement, and can arouse the fighting emotions of the subordinates around them.

Of course, the biggest flaw in taking the lead in combat is that the danger is extremely high, and if you don't pay attention to these officers below the company and platoon level, they may die in battle, but fortunately, the rank and command system of the Hongtang army have long been mature, and even if the officers of the upper level are killed, there will soon be a successor commanding military attache to stand up and continue to lead the officers and men to fight, so as not to let the officers and men end up in a situation where there is no one to command and fight separately.

In addition, Hongtang's most important training in peacetime was the joint combat skills of the three-talent array, six-man array, and twelve-man array, so that the Hongtang army in the cold weapon era maintained extremely high combat effectiveness and became the overlord of the South Seas that no one dared to defeat.

Now facing the elite of the Jurchens, the Hongtang army is honestly not the first time that the Jurchens have fought each other, but it is obvious that the two armies colliding together in front of them are the first time that they have fought in the real sense.

The army under the leadership of Officer Hongtang was like an orderly and coordinated wolf pack, which was both fierce and cunning, which made the Jurchen army of the Qing Dynasty, which had a geographical advantage, feel heavy pressure as soon as it came up.

"Resist!! Resist! ”

Standing on top of the inner city fortifications, the Jurchen leaders and Ezhen leaders had the most slogans in their mouths that were repeated over and over again, and the rest were only left to fight together.

As the Jurchen warriors of the Qing Dynasty, their greatest strength is still above the cavalry and archers, compared to the defensive infantry to fight together, it is still a way of fighting for them.

Now in the face of the Hongtang soldiers, who have a deep study of infantry coordinated operations, the two sides are angry as soon as they come up.

The figures climbing on the city wall were Hong Tang's fearless warriors, and behind them, a group of colleagues were armed with muskets and grenades, covering for them.

Not far behind them, at the same time, there were also late field artillery troops, although the caliber of the field artillery they carried in order to hurry Wu Jie was not too large, but in fact, more than a dozen artillery pieces were aimed at the inner city gate, which could still bring powerful destructive power.

Almost all of Hongtang's high-tech weapons were used in this raid battle, in order to take Shanhaiguan as quickly as possible, Wu Jie did not spare his hands at all, and when he was fighting with the army, he transported all the bulky weapons such as field guns.

And on the sea not far away, Hongtang's only mobile cavalry, together with their war horses, also with the help of Hongtang's fleet warships and Qixintang's cargo ships, headed towards the route of Shanhaiguan, I believe that it will not be long before they can join Wu Jie's command for him to drive.

From time to time, the Hongtang warriors who climbed fell from the city wall and turned into corpses, or they were lucky enough to be alive and wailing on the ground, but in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides who were fighting at this time, they did not have the slightest sympathy and continued to devote themselves to each other, vowing to achieve their ultimate goal.

The Jurchens also had a hard time maintaining, and this new face that suddenly appeared, although they had the face of a southern Han people, and their dress and shouting were mostly Han habits, but the combat effectiveness they showed was the most powerful Han army they had so far feathered by the soldiers of the Yellow Banner and the Eight Banners.

Even the Liaodong Frontier Army, which had blocked them outside the Guanguan for decades, had never seen them bring so much pressure and lethality to the Jurchens on the frontal battlefield.

Several Han warriors jumped onto the inner city wall, covering each other's movements and transfers, firmly guarding the wall behind them, and covering the Han colleagues who climbed up in waves.

The Jurchen warriors who were in a stalemate with them waved the cold long knife in their hands with scarlet eyes, and rushed forward with more numerical advantages, vowing to beat this Han people back under the city wall, but with the skillful and cunning cooperation of the other party, the Jurchen warriors, who were almost twice as numerous as the opponent, were stunned and could not give full play to their advantages, but because of the orderly cooperation of the opponent's retreat and advance, their own side was in chaos, and they felt that their colleagues were in the way.

At the same time, the Jurchens must also be careful of the bullets fired by the muskets under the city, unlike the mutual cancellation between kinetic energy and gravity when the bow and arrow shoot from the bottom up, which greatly reduces the lethality, the bullets burst out of the musket can still produce great power under the city wall that is only a few feet high, and the cotton armor on the Jurchen warrior's body is not much higher than the defense of a single coat under the fire of the opponent's gunfire.

The only thing that made the Jurchens happy was that it was late at night, and in order not to harm their colleagues on the city wall, the opposing musketeers could not use their muskets in the dim vision, so that although the Jurchens had many headaches, they would not be defeated because of this.
