However, although the chaos is chaotic, but after a night of busy work, the change of defense of the two armies is basically completed, only a little farther away has not yet completed the final change of defense, in the Shanhaiguan area of the wall, the enemy building, the change of defense of the city at dawn, basically in place, many places have raised the military flag of the large Chinese army, looking at the red from afar, quite majestic, and the banner of the Ming Dynasty, but basically has been concentrated in the main city of Shanhaiguan and the three cities of Dongluo City and the North Wing City, It is clear that the two sides have clearly defined the division of defense, and although they have not joined forces, they have become coalition forces.

After all, the command systems of the Ming army and the large Chinese army are self-contained and unfamiliar with each other, and if they are forcibly merged, not only can they not improve their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but also may cause chaos.

The artillery around Shanhaiguan was originally very dense, and when the Ming army withdrew, there was no need to move all the artillery from other places to the three cities where they were stationed, so many light artillery pieces were left in place and handed over to the Dazhong army for use, and at the same time, some gunners of the official army were also left behind and incorporated into the Dazhong army, obeying the dispatch of the generals of the Dazhong army.

But like some cannons, such as the Dafa Xi, Hongyi cannon, and the general cannon, Wu Xiang still tentatively proposed to Yan Chongxi that he wanted to go over, and after dawn, he began to transfer to the main city of Shanhaiguan and the city walls of Dongluo City and North Wing City to enhance the firepower of these three cities.

As for Wu Xiang's request, even if Yan Chongxi agreed, the artillery of the Dazhong Army was much sharper than the artillery of the Ming Army, and the Left Route Army had unique conditions, and the quality and quantity of artillery equipment exceeded that of the second and third towns, so this time, Yan Chongxi mobilized two heavy artillery battalions, and the army had dozens of six-pounder, eight-pounder and twelve-pounder guns, and the firepower was very fierce, plus the three-pounder light guns directly under each battalion, their firepower was also considerable, Therefore, he is not unfamiliar with these Ming army's old-style Dafa Xi, general cannons and Hongyi cannons!

Therefore, even if Yan Chongxi agreed to Wu Xiang's request, Wu Xiang was even more grateful after hearing it, and at the same time saw that the Dazhong Army had full sincerity in cooperating with him to defend the front line of Shanhaiguan, otherwise he would not agree to return these weapons to him, which also showed that the Dazhong Army did not have any precautions against him, so Wu Xiang was secretly grateful, in order to show his sincerity, considering that the Dazhong Army came from afar, the ammunition that may be carried is insufficient, and the Ming Army in the Shanhaiguan area has accumulated a lot of gunpowder for many years. So he ordered a part of the gunpowder to be allocated from the treasury and sent it to the side of the Great Chinese Army, which also showed his sincerity.

Not long after dawn, on the roads in Shanhaiguan, there began to appear a lot of people, the patrol of the two armies did not collect at night and the scouts immediately stopped these people, after asking, only to know that these people are basically the people and gentry in the area of Funingwei, after learning the news of the victory of the two armies on the first day, they have the money to contribute, powerful contributions, have rushed to Shanhaiguan to work the army, and at the same time to help the two armies to help the war, together to fight the Tartars.

So Yan Chongxi and Wu Xiang were very happy after learning the news, especially Wu Xiang, compared to some time ago, the common people were afraid of their Ming army like snakes and scorpions, and now once they learned that they had won the battle in the Guancheng area, they immediately came to help them, which shows that the people are still willing to help them, in the past, it was just because of their military discipline corruption, and the people really have no confidence in them, so they were unwilling to help them, but after the Dazhong army came, they won a big battle, So these people saw hope and came to help in the war! This also shows that the common people hate Jiannu, and the vast majority of the people are on their side in dealing with Jiannu.

Of course, the common people are now willing to come to help the labor army, in fact, there is another reason, that is, it is inseparable from the efforts of the large and Chinese army scattered in this area during this time. Keep your head and no hair!

This kind of thing is unacceptable to the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially men, because the Han people since ancient times, they all think that the parents of the body hair and skin, this is a matter of filial piety, and it is written into the Book of Filial Piety. Some people simply want to go south, and some people can't give up their homeland, so they would rather follow the Ming army or the Dazhong army and fight with Jiannu than let Jiannu become the master of Yanyun.

For the hair thing, in fact, Xiao Tianjian didn't think about it before, after all, the ancients had too long hair, not to mention the time-consuming care, and it was unhygienic, easy to breed fleas and lice, at first when he first came to this era, he had short hair, which made people mistakenly think that he was a monk, so he also thought about promoting short hair or even bald head in the Xingtian Army, but the result was that the soldiers below resisted greatly, in order not to affect the morale of the army, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, Xiao Tianjian could only give up, Even he himself has grown hair and beard, otherwise it is not clear whether he can develop it or not, which shows the importance of hair to the ancients.

Now he wants to go north to deal with the Tartars, so he sounded the holy decree under the rule of Shun after the Tartars entered the customs in history, asking the Han people to shave their hair, and what to say about keeping their heads without leaving their hair, leaving their hair without keeping their heads, so he doesn't have to use such negative teaching materials, since the people care so much about their hair, then he simply ordered the intelligence department to simply spread this matter, although now the Tartars have never thought of doing this, but after all, those Han people outside the customs have basically shaved their hair now, so Jiannu, It's not a slander against them.

And this grapevine, undoubtedly in the folk is equivalent to a bombshell, to be honest, the Chinese people since ancient times, are not very concerned about state affairs, they are more concerned about the issue of survival, who will be the emperor, it doesn't matter to them, anyway, as long as they have land, there is food, no matter who should pay the grain, they have to pay the grain, just how much, so in general, changing the dynasty is not the most concerned thing for them.

But on the issue of shaving their hair, this is related to their vital interests, this hair can not be shaved no matter what, if it is shaved, it is sorry for their ancestors, so one stone stirred up a thousand waves, Xiao Tianjian "ulterior motives" spread the news, which immediately aroused the public indignation of the people, which undoubtedly made many people more hateful to the Jiannu side, and began to help the Ming army or the Dazhong army to deal with the Jiannu.

Therefore, since the Dazhong Army took over some of the city walls and gates along the Shanhaiguan Pass, many people began to gather from the surrounding areas of Funing to the Shanhaiguan area in an endless stream under the organization of the squires, and spontaneously joined the ranks of the fight against Jiannu.

On the one hand, he wanted to rest the soldiers of the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners that were beaten badly, and remobilize their morale, on the other hand, he also knew that after the collusion between the Dazhong Army and the Ming Army, Shanhaiguan was no longer as weak as it was at the beginning, and it was impossible for him to take Shanhaiguan lightly, so he simply waited for Huang Taiji to lead the troops to come and discuss the next way to attack the pass, and began to build various siege equipment on the spot, and sent people to the surrounding area to arrest those people who did not have time to escape into the pass, and drove them to work for the Jiannu army.

Poor outside the pass there are still more than 100,000 Han people did not have time to escape into the pass, this time they are miserable, by the wolf-like Jiannu cavalry, like driving pigs and sheep to the area of the Jiannu camp outside Shanhaiguan, the slightest distraction from these Tartars will immediately face each other, women have to cook for Jiannu to make up clothes, but also to meet the beastly desire of Jiannu soldiers, men are all coolies, do hard labor for Jiannu, cut wood and carry earth and stone, help Jiannu prepare tools for tackling key problems, every day to eat pigs and dogs are not as good, They were also beaten and killed by the Jiannu all the time, and there was mourning everywhere outside the entire pass, and the corpses of the Han people could be seen everywhere.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Dazhong Army and the Ming Army under the command of Wu Xiang also raced against time to strengthen and repair the city wall passes that were damaged by the cannons, and a large number of people were also in full swing to help transport all kinds of imperial guarding equipment to the city, and rushed to make all kinds of guarding equipment, such as wolf tooth slaps, yaksha beats, anti-arrow cards, wooden standing cards and other things, which began to be made and transported to the city.

In addition to artillery and muskets, there is also a very powerful weapon for defending the city, that is, their thunderbolt cannon, which has become more and more mature over the years, that is, primitive grenades filled with granular black powder, which have also been transported everywhere and distributed to the armies.

Huang Taiji is on the day of April 27, led more than 100,000 Jiannu army, arrived at the north of Shanhaiguan, Dolgon, Duoduo, Azig and other generals immediately caught Huang Taiji, now Huang Taiji as the Qing Emperor, the pomp of the trip is very large, although it is in the middle of the war, but the full set of pomp and circumstance are a lot, on behalf of his emperor identity Daxu can be seen from afar, let people know the arrival of his Qing Emperor.
