Dolgon led his troops to attack Shanhaiguan for many days in a row, but every day it can be said that under the death of the Ming army and the Dazhong army guarding the pass, he returned with a feather, and every time he was outside the city, he hit his head and suffered heavy losses.

The defenders' firepower is very strong, although he also tried his best to send the Han army flag gunners to bombard the wall, but the enemy's artillery fire is very accurate, and can often counterattack their artillery arrays, and the artillery battles on both sides have suffered great losses on their Jiannu side, and many cannons have been blown over by the defenders, and some of the cannons have to be dragged back, and new gun mounts have to be built to be used again, and some cannons have simply been scrapped by the defenders, and there is no possibility of repair.

And the defenders also rescued a group of Han people outside the pass who they forced to act as a meat shield from under their noses a few days ago, and then suddenly sent troops out of the pass to counterattack, although he had been prepared, but he was still counterattacked by the soldiers of the Dazhong Army, killing a lot of Han troops and Mongolian soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion, and then under the cover of artillery fire on the city, Anran retreated into the pass.

The morale of their Jiannu army fell sharply, and some Han soldiers in the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion became deserters overnight, although they caught up and slaughtered these fugitives afterwards, but Dolgon did not dare to overconsume the Han soldiers of these Han army banners, and even the Mongolian soldiers of the Mongolian Eight Banners who cooperated with them in the battle also fell sharply, and some people secretly shouted that if Dolgon still did not take the lives of their Mongols as human lives, they would flee back to the grassland and not give them Jiannu to sell their lives.

So as a last resort, Dolgon had to order the collection of troops to let these Han troops and Mongolian soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion rest, and then fight, and he sent the soldiers of this banner to sneak to the Yiyuan Pass west of Shanhaiguan, trying to sneak there, break through the pass and enter the pass, but did not think that the Dazhong Army already had a group of men and horses stationed in the area of Yiyuankou, he sent to attack the soldiers of Yiyuankou, and hit the iron plate, and the armor that was beaten under the strong attack was discarded, and he had to return with a feather. In vain, hundreds of corpses of armored soldiers with white flags were thrown under the gate of the righteous courtyard, and the gray ones were also withdrawn.

Now in the eyes of Dolgon, the front line of Shanhaiguan is almost like an impregnable wall, which makes him daunting, and he has thought of a way, but he can't find a good way to break through this line of defense.

However, the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji, who was stationed in the front guard, repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with his actions and ordered him to speed up his efforts to conquer Shanhaiguan.

This is to let our three brothers die! Dolgon scolded angrily in his heart, but he didn't have any way to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji forced him like this, it was on the righteousness of their Manchurians, and he was the vanguard, since he should conquer Shanhaiguan to open up the passage for the follow-up Qing army, and he was unfavorable in the battle, which was also a blow to his prestige in the Qing Dynasty, after this battle, the strength of their three brothers would definitely be weakened a lot, and I am afraid that in the future, I will no longer have the strength to win the throne of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Dolgon can be said to hate Wu Xiang and the generals of the Dazhong Army who guarded the pass, since he followed his father to raise the army, where has he ever eaten such a suffocation! But when he encountered this torture thief twice in a row, he was forced by the other party to have no choice.

More than ten or twenty years earlier, they raised troops outside the Jiannu Pass, facing so many elite soldiers of the Ming army, but they won many battles, especially the battle of Salhu, their father wild boar skin led them less than one-fifth of the strength of the Ming army, stunned to fight so many elite soldiers of the Ming army lost their armor, how did they not think that after encountering the Xingtian Army, their glory is no longer so eye-catching, and they will be deflated if they are touched by the Xingtian thief, they will be deflated, so if it goes on, will they really build slaves to be destroyed in the hands of this Xingtian thief.

Thinking of this, Dolgon not only felt a little chilly, even if it was not for the sake of the three brothers, just for the future of Jiannu, he couldn't just drag it on, so Dolgon beat his spirit, and summoned Azig, Duoduo, and the banner owners of the Han Eight Banners and the Mongol banner owners who listened to his dispatch into his tent, and loudly reprimanded these people, scolded them for their incompetence, and ordered them to go down, immediately boost their morale, and prepare for another onslaught, no matter what, they must attack the Shanhaiguan.

These banner owners are like bitter melons, these days after the battle, their respective generals have suffered heavy losses, especially the soldiers of their Han army banners, as the main force of the main attack, they are caught up every day, and they are beaten down, and a large number of them do not die in a day, Niu Lu Zhangjing is almost changed, some are killed by the defenders, some are cut down because they retreat without authorization, and even Jia Lazhangjing has changed a lot, so they will be defeated.

So they didn't want to fight, this Shanhaiguan was like a fire-breathing dragon, and they would die if they went, so they all begged Dolgon to give them a few days to rest and recuperate and fight, but Dolgon glared and cursed, scolding them for being wine bags and rice bags, not allowing them to ask for it, and they had to prepare for another battle at once, and threatened them that if anyone wanted not to work hard, they should be careful of their heads.

These Han and Mongolian banner owners are all silent, no matter how bitter they are, there is no place to go, who made them surrender to Jiannu? His family is controlled by others, and the knife handle is also in the hands of others, so what can they do with these dogs?

So they could only nod yes, and prepared to go down and start to gather troops and horses to attack the city again, this time Dolgon put forward an idea, that is, to abandon the way of fighting with several men and horses marching together, concentrate all the artillery and troops in the army, and only concentrate on Xiluo City in the west of Shanhaiguan City, and launch the most fierce attack, so that they can give full play to the advantage of firepower and troops, and it is possible to break through Xiluo City and break through the Shanhaiguan defense line.

In the face of the defense line that stretches for dozens of miles, concentrating troops to attack a little bit is like piercing the cowhide with an awl, even if the cowhide is hard, it can't stand the awl at one point.

So these banner owners could only obey Yu Dolgon's orders, nodded and agreed, but before their discussion was over, someone outside reported that Shanhaiguan had reinforced a large Chinese army's soldiers and horses, and the flag should be the guard division of the Great Chinese Army, that is, a group of men and horses directly led by Xiao Tianjian, the chief of the Xingtian thieves, who had taken over a number of walls and enemy towers along Shanhaiguan.

When Dolgon heard this, he became anxious, and immediately asked the person who reported the news if he had seen the thief chief Xiao Tianjian's Daxu, if so, then it meant that Xiao Tianjian, the thief chief of Xingtian, had personally led the army to Shanhaiguan, in that case, what they were thinking about next was probably not how to break through Shanhaiguan, but how to fight with the Xingtianjun in Shanhaiguan next.

The person who reported the news shook his head and said: "Prince Qiyurui, I didn't see the thief chief's big sword, but I saw a new thief army flag raised on the wall, after identification, some people pointed out that this army is the military flag of the first guard division of the Great Chinese Army, the commander's surname is Luo, and he is nicknamed the first fierce dog under Xiao Xingtian, and he is a fierce general among the thieves!" I didn't see the thief chief Xiao Xingtian's Daxu appear in Shanhaiguan!

However, according to the sentry cavalry, it was found that although the Xingtian thieves had reinforced their troops, some of the Xingtian thieves who were originally stationed were gone, and it seemed that the actual strength had not increased too much. ”

After hearing this, Dolgon breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly a little angry, really wanted to cut down this guy who reported the news, but he didn't make it clear just now, which scared him a lot, so that he thought that Xiao Tianjian, the chief of the torture thief, had personally led the army to Shanhaiguan, so frightened that he almost ordered the troops to retreat, and the province was beaten by the fierce god here.

Now after listening to what this guy said, he can basically make a judgment, that is, it is true that the Dazhong Army has come to reinforce the army, but in fact, there are not many troops, but a guard division under Xiao Tianjian arrived here first, and at the same time replaced a cavalry of the Dazhong Army, so don't think about it, the cavalry of this Dazhong Army must have rushed to the west, and they have learned that they have divided their troops and sent Abatai to the west to find another way to enter the pass, so a group of cavalry was dispatched, Intercept Abatai to the west.

Dolgon was even a little darker, secretly thinking that it would be best for Abatai to be like him, and when he went to the western passes to try to break through, he was also deflated, and his head was broken and bleeding, and he was blocked outside the pass and could not enter the customs, in that case, it would be forgivable that he could not break down the mountain customs.

But he also knows that his idea is estimated to be unrealistic, at the moment the last elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are here, and there are also a lot of elite soldiers of the large and middle army gathered here, he is facing the elite soldiers of the Ming and Chinese dynasties, but the rest of the passes, out of the geography is not as strong as here, the defenders are mostly some remnants of the defeated generals, it is not enough to hold the city, they have been so many years, but they have repeatedly broken through from other places, but they have never broken through the customs in Shanhaiguan, Abatai and Haoge, It is likely that he will choose to break through the customs in other places, which he is still confident in, so Huang Taiji's move is ruthless enough, on the one hand, he lost face outside the Shanhai Pass, and on the other hand, he let his son Haoge get the first skill to break through the pass, Dolgon thought of this, and wanted to scold Huang Taiji This brother is not a thing, but he did not dare to do this before he lost his mind, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood in his stomach, and he could not show a little disrespect to Huang Taiji on the surface.

So he waved his hand to let the messenger go down, and then ordered the banner owners to continue to prepare, no matter what, he must continue to launch an offensive against Shanhaiguan, otherwise Huang Taiji can put him to death by virtue of his fear of war, and he will die! Death could not allow Huang Taiji to seize such an opportunity, just like he did with Mang Gurtai, and deal with the three brothers.

The next day, that is, the third day after Luo Li replaced Wang Chengping, Dolgon once again opened a posture outside the Shanhaiguan, sent his soldiers and horses to the camp, and launched the most fierce offensive against Xiluo City.

(Today, I would like to thank General Mao Mao for his rewards, and I don't drink the Northwest brothers!) Thank you very much! ）
