From the feelings of most of the soldiers of the Ming army towards Jiannu, who of them does not hate Jiannu? These soldiers who were born and raised in the Guanliao area, who have no relatives outside the Guan, but over the years, with the rise of Jiannu, has brought extremely painful disasters to the Han people outside the Guan, almost everyone has a little blood feud with Jiannu, so the soldiers do not want to be a dog for Jiannu, and the main ones who really want to surrender Jiannu are those generals who are trying to save their lives and gain glory and wealth, the soldier naturally calmed down and began to fight to the death with the Jiannu army.

The Ming army's field battle is really rotten, but the ability to defend the city can be said to be really unambiguous, plus they have plenty of firearms in their hands, when a large number of Jiannu troops launched an attack, the walls around Shanhaiguan can be said to be a volley of guns, the first two offensives organized by Dolgon, almost did not even touch the city wall, and the corpses and wounded soldiers who were beaten and thrown to the ground were defeated and retreated.

Only then did Dolgon find out that the rebel generals of the Ming army that they had originally bought off on the Jiannu side had been cleaned up at this time, or had changed their minds, in short, the Ming army in every place he sent troops to storm showed extremely strong combat effectiveness and resolute will to resist in this day's battle.

Dolgon, who was under the light of the enemy, immediately harvested a cup of bitter wine, and the troops sent to attack the city were killed and wounded hundreds of people in half a day, but they did not achieve any effect on the attack on the city.

Dolgon also knew at this time that the original opportunistic mind could now be thrown to Java, and it had become impossible to take Shanhaiguan lightly.

So Dolgon, Duoduo and Azig and other slave chieftains had to scold the Han people for their lack of trust, while readjusting their deployment, transferring a large number of artillery and soldiers and horses of the Han army flag to launch a tough attack on Shanhaiguan.

At this time, after more than two years of reorganization, the original Han Army Banner with only two banners has now been expanded to eight banners, and the strength of the army has also grown from only one or two thousand people at the beginning to seventy or eighty thousand now, and the strength can be said to be close to the Jurchen Eight Banners, far exceeding the strength of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

And the Han army is mostly composed of Liaodong Han and the original Guan Liao army that surrendered to Jiannu, the Ming army makes good use of firearms, which is fully used by Huang Taiji, in the past two years, the Jiannu have tried their best to collect all kinds of artillery, and strictly ordered the Han craftsmen to cast all kinds of red-clothed cannons, strengthen the firepower of the Han army flag, and also make the craftsmen build this era is still a sharp bird gun, as well as the collection of those bird guns and three-eyed guns captured from the Ming army in the treasury to arm the soldiers of the Han army flag, all because of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, They suffered a big loss at the hands of the Xingtian Army, so they wanted to use this method to treat their own people in their own way, and use the same tactics to deal with the Xingtian Army that they might encounter after entering the customs in the future.

Now, after more than two years of preparation, the combat effectiveness of the Han Army Banner has increased a lot, and its firepower is not weaker than that of the Guanning Army, and even in terms of heavy artillery, its combat power far exceeds that of the Guanning Army.

This time, a small half of the soldiers and horses who served as the vanguard with Dolgon belonged to the Han army banner, and after these Han troops were ordered, they immediately pushed their artillery, lined up in the area of Shanhaiguan, raised their cannons, and aimed at the Shanhaiguan wall and the city.

In the early afternoon, Dolgon once again ordered to launch a fierce attack on the first line of Shanhaiguan, and countless Jiannu cannons roared immediately, so many artillery pieces were fired together, which was rare in the history of the Jiannu army after it became an army, and only some time ago when they were besieging Ningyuan City, they concentrated so many artillery pieces to fire together, so once the fire was fired, the entire Shanhaiguan outside was like a volcanic eruption, and the earth was shaken.

All kinds of shells immediately pierced the sky and fell on the wall along the Shanhaiguan Pass, and the bricks and stones on the wall immediately became hit, and a large number of casualties immediately appeared on the Ming army.

Countless Han troops of Jiannu, after the heavy artillery bombardment, immediately shouted to kill the earth, carrying various siege equipment, like ants to launch an attack towards the Shanhaiguan area.

At this time, the defenders also began to fire back, the shells on both sides in the air are you coming and going, constantly spilling on the enemy's head, the cruelty of the war at this moment, is vividly expressed, no matter whose shells fall, will take away a few lives, even if it does not fall in the crowd, hit the wall, but also hit the wall is bricks and stones, the Great Wall is full of craters.

As the defending side of the Ming army, this is the first time to face such a dense artillery bombardment, they did not expect that in just a few years, there are so many heavy artillery in the current Jiannu army, especially those Hongyi cannons weighing more than 1,000 catties, each cannon falls, the building bricks and stones on the city wall are flying, and the buildings in the city that fall in the city fall down, what defense facilities in front of the shells of this heavy artillery, are like paper, many enemy platforms are hit by the heavy artillery of the Jiannu army. Not many rounds were destroyed and collapsed, more than a dozen catties of cannonballs are really powerful, every bullet on the city wall, it is like a small earthquake, the strong Great Wall city wall continues to tremble.

As a result, some of the soldiers began to be afraid, and some local officers and soldiers began to scramble to escape from the city wall to escape the bombardment of Jiannu.

Zhao Tong now became a hero in Shanhaiguan overnight, and was immediately promoted by Wu Xiang to a thousand general, alone led the troops to guard a section of the city wall, when the heavy artillery of the Jiannu army fired, his position was also subjected to shelling, several of his subordinates on the spot heavy artillery, it turned into a cloud of blood mist, the body became fragments scattered everywhere, and there was an enemy platform that could not withstand the heavy impact of the cannonballs, and collapsed at once, including more than 20 defenders in the enemy platform and more than a dozen gunners on the enemy platform, disappeared into the rubble in an instant, They were buried alive underneath, and some were not even dead, crying out for help beneath the rubble.

Such a situation was unbearable for the Ming army, and some soldiers immediately lost their courage and wanted to escape from the city wall to avoid the artillery, but Zhao Tong was like a mad tiger at this time, running back and forth on the city wall with a single knife, and repeatedly slashed over several subordinates who tried to escape, and ordered the soldiers to fire back to prevent the Jiannu army from approaching the city wall, which controlled the rout of the soldiers under his command, and instead had to start lying next to the artillery, desperately starting to load the cannon.

A group of Jiannu Han soldiers with the same face as them, shouting and carrying hook ladders or pushing cloud ladders, approaching the city wall, every time the cannon is put down on the city, it can overturn a piece of enemy troops, and these Jiannu Han soldiers screamed miserably, and many people shouted at the city: "Brothers above, stop fighting!" Everyone used to be in this group! Raise your hand! Daming is over, why do you have to work hard for Daming? Surrender quickly! Follow the Qing Dynasty, eat fragrant and drink spicy! Keep you prosperous and rich! ……”

A few years ago, many of them were the same Guanning army as them, but now they have all shaved their tails, and the armor they are wearing is still the armor of the Ming army, but the iron helmet on the top of their heads, there is an extra lightning rod-like thing, and now they have become a member of the Jiannu army, and began to work for Jiannu, and in turn began to slaughter the Han people with Jiannu.

For these Jiannu Han troops, Zhao Tong was furious after seeing them, and after hearing their shouts, he ordered artillery bombardment to kill these bastards.

It can be said that these Jiannu Han troops paid a lot of casualties before they approached the city, and under the cover of the sword and card players, they began to follow the example of the Xingtian army, and raised the three-eyed guns and bird guns in their hands in formation, and hit the city.

And the Ming army in the city is not vegetarian, they also have these firearms in their hands, many Ming soldiers, they are stationed on the city wall, from the battlements of the battlements and arrow holes, with their firearms to return fire, both convenient up and down the city wall, began a confrontation, the accuracy of the bird gun at this time is already relatively accurate, almost every moment, both sides have soldiers will be shot to the ground, and most of the people who are shot are above the chest, with the medical level of this era, the chest including the head as long as a bullet, It's basically equivalent to a small life reimbursement.

Even if it is a three-eyed gun, within a distance of thirty steps, the power is already quite large, as long as it hits, it can basically break the armor and knock people to the ground, in short, this kind of shooting, undoubtedly considers the courage of the two armies, both sides can be said to have paid a great price for casualties, and suddenly up and down this section of the city wall, there will be a river of blood, and corpses will accumulate everywhere.

Under Dolgon's death order, the Han army of Jiannu did not dare to move forward without selling their lives, and in the eyes of Jiannu Tartars, the lives of these Han soldiers were the most worthless things, anyway, there were more Han people, no matter how many people died, as long as they could attack Guanzhong, they would be able to capture more Han people to sell their lives, so Dolgon sent the Han army to attack the city, and he would not consider how big their casualties were.

Moreover, their strength far exceeded that of the defenders by a lot, and when one group was defeated, another group was pressed, and so on, and the defenders were under tremendous pressure.

The reason why Dolgon launched such a high-intensity onslaught at such a cost, was really forced by the situation, the tenacity of the resistance of the Ming army defenders was far beyond his expectations, Wu Xiang could defend the Shanhaiguan Pass so stubbornly, he must have decided to take refuge in the Dazhong Army, if the Dazhong Army arrived here, Dolgon had a chilling feeling, he didn't dare to imagine that if the Dazhong Army also climbed the city wall to defend it, how many people would have to die on their Jiannu side to break through this Xiongguan.

Therefore, he didn't dare to slack off, so he could only send troops to launch a strong attack on the Guancheng in this area at any cost, wanting to try to defeat these Ming defenders before the Xingtian Army came to take over the defense, and gain a geographical advantage, and then use the advantage in strength to defeat the men and horses of the Xingtian Army in the pass in one fell swoop, one step ahead of the Xingtian Army, and swept the Yanyun Land in the Guan.

In terms of the future of the entire Jiannu, although there is a contradiction between Dolgon and Huang Taiji, but in this consideration, Dolgon still has a high degree of unity with Huang Taiji, and at the moment Huang Taiji is the Qing Emperor, just like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of his and Azig and Duoduo brothers at any time, he has to obey Huang Taiji's orders, Huang Taiji made it clear when he ordered him to attack Shanhaiguan first, Wu Xiang surrendered the best, if Wu Xiang refused to surrender, then no matter how many people died, He must take Shanhaiguan and open up this important entry channel for the follow-up Qing army.

Therefore, Dolgon personally came to the pass, personally sat behind the attacking soldiers and horses, constantly deployed troops into the battlefield, and launched a fierce and unusual onslaught against several gates.

In fact, he knows very well that although they have an advantage in firepower and an advantage in terms of troops, but this time the preparation for attacking them is not sufficient, and they have not had time to build much of the heavy equipment needed to attack the fortification, and at the moment they can only use some light hook ladders and long ladders to attack the city.

So his heart hardened at this time, and after an hour and a half, he successively killed several Niu Lu Zhangjing in the defeated Han army banners, and even killed a third-class Lazhangjing, in order to force these Han soldiers who were not even as good as pigs and sheep in their eyes to storm the passes everywhere.
