The sun was moving inch by inch, and half of the sunset had sunk below the mountain peak, and it was slowly dimming in front of the mountain pass.

The first Xiongguan in the world takes the Great Wall as the main line, takes the Guancheng as the center, includes seven acropolis, ten passes, dozens of city platforms, enemy platforms, beacon towers, etc., is a complete, rigorous and scientific ancient city defense complex and military defense system.

When night fell, a bonfire was lit in the camp of the Northern Expedition, and the mountains and fields were all over the distance as far as the eyes could see. The Qing soldiers on the gate took advantage of the interval between the shelling to twist their waists and relax their muscles, enjoying a rare relaxation.

Looking down from Shanhaiguan, there was a boundless camp that made them desperate, and around the piles of bonfires there sat warriors who were about to fight for their lives.

Shang Kexi leaned against the wall, a slight snoring sounded, and he took a nap here after directing several days and nights.

Now many of the soldiers and horses on the pass are recruited on the spot, and the local Liao people who were recruited, Shang Kexi naturally didn't worry about letting them defend the city alone, so he didn't close his eyes for a few days, so he nailed here to command the battle.

Although these soldiers are new recruits, Shanhaiguan has been fighting continuously over the years, and the Liao people are mixed with military and civilians, so it is easier to get started than ordinary people. Moreover, they were born and raised in Sri Lanka, they are familiar with every grass and tree here, and in their familiar environment, they also occupy a favorable location, and these recruits can barely hold the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Two months have passed since the Japanese soldiers ascended to the dynasty and the three-way army was launched together. Hou Xuanyan was blocked in front of Shanhaiguan without advancing an inch, and the Japanese soldiers were also driven to the coast by the Qing soldiers after experiencing great ups and downs, and relied on the support of the naval division to gain a firm foothold. Xia Wanchun was on the battlefield of the Western Front, resisting the three major feudal kings, losing more and winning less.

Suddenly, the Northern Expeditionary Army under the pass began to move, and the Qing soldiers on Shanhaiguan suddenly became nervous, and the noise woke Shang Kexi up, grabbed the spear beside him and asked, "The enemy army is attacking the city again?" ”

"Lord Wang, it seems that they are about to withdraw their troops!" The pro-soldier next to him shouted excitedly.

Shang Kexi's heart was pounding, and he walked to the lookout in stride, looked out along the small gap, and sure enough, under the rows of torches, the Northern Expeditionary Army was withdrawing.

Shang Kexi breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally withdrew, they were exhausted, although they had supplies in the rear and would not run out of ammunition and food, but Shang Kexi, who had repeatedly begged for reinforcements, had a pitiful number of soldiers.

The Northern Expeditionary Army under the gate withdrew very calmly, not worrying about them rushing out, it seems that Hou Xuanyan also knew that he had reached the point of running out of oil, why did he choose to withdraw his troops?

Shang Kexi frowned, and couldn't figure out why the enemy army that was still in the momentum under the pass should retreat, according to past experience and rumors from the outside world, Hou Xuanyan was not a person who retreated despite difficulties. This person rarely compromises, and none of them withdrew his troops halfway, could it be that something big happened in the Ming Dynasty?

Shang Kexi nodded, convinced of his judgment, since ancient times, how many famous generals in the Northern Expedition withdrew their troops at the last moment because of the rear affairs.

Before Shang Kexi's excitement passed, the Qing soldiers on the Shanhai Pass found out that something was wrong, and these troops withdrew but did not dismantle the camp tents, but retained all the facilities. Even the bonfire was kept very intimately, which didn't look like a withdrawal at all.

A horn sounded in vain, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats, Shang Kexi clenched the handle of the gun and said loudly: "Prepare to meet the enemy." ”

In the place where the original Northern Expeditionary Army withdrew, a team of men and horses were replenished, which was a new force that was repaired in the back for half a month. Gu Yinxi took the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi, Gansu and Huguang to replace the Zhejiang soldiers who originally attacked.

A wave of despair spread on Shanhaiguan, and it could no longer be controlled, and his side had exhausted all his strength, guarding the towering wall day and night, while the enemy army could return to the back to repair.

There are moats on both sides of Shanhaiguan, and the places that can be attacked are very small, and hundreds of thousands of troops cannot spread out.

Hou Xuanyan took more than 100,000 Zhejiang soldiers to attack for so long, but he left Yan Yingyuan's Houtu Battalion, Li Haoxian and Du Yinxi as reserves.

Plug Yinxi has been guarding Xiangyang for so long, and has been attacked by the four vassal kings in turn for several years, and this time he finally has a chance to take revenge.

His soldiers and horses have been repaired in the Gyeonggi area for so long, and the soldiers and horses are as fat as a rainbow, and they have just landed and blew the drums and horns. The sound of killing on Shanhaiguan shook the sky, the firelight was everywhere, and the night that had just turned black was completely illuminated, and a new wave of attack slapped towards the front of the city that had been repeatedly ravaged in Shanhaiguan.

Although the soldiers and horses of Plug Yinxi were repaired in the back, he himself had always stayed in Hou Xuanyan's big tent, and he knew the terrain and mountains, troop allocation, ordnance bows and crossbows, and the generals of the army on the pass very well.

As soon as these new Ming troops entered the battle, the attack was as fierce as the one in front, and the Qing soldiers who had been cornered roared heartbreakingly, raising their bows and shooting from under the low wall. Arrows poured down all over the sky, and he had already prepared for watching the battle for so many days. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he ordered the soldiers to raise their shields, and the entire army slowly advanced like a spirit turtle.

On the contrary, it was the firecrackers in the distance, taking advantage of the opportunity for them to get up and shoot arrows, shooting wildly. The Qing soldiers suffered serious casualties, and the screams and howls were endless.

A huge crash sounded, and the crash car escorted by the soldiers to the city rumbled, bang... The loud sound seemed to be smashed on the hearts of the Qing soldiers, and Shang Kexi knew that the west gate had always been the focus of the attack, and it was seriously damaged and could be easily broken through.

"Blow up the mountain and block the city gate with boulders." At this point, any worries can be left behind, Shang Kexi just wants to hold Shanhaiguan, and doesn't care about anything else.

With a loud bang, the mountain exploded, and the boulder rolled down and completely blocked the gate on the west side. In the future, even if it is impossible to rebuild the gate, Du Yinxi sneered when he saw this, and continued to command his subordinates to storm the Shanhai Pass.

Shang Kexi finally ordered that all the reserves should ascend to the city tower, and in the face of such a ferocious attack, they could no longer be left behind.

At the same time, all the Denglai sailors in the distance were already ready to go at the port.

The black-pressed battleships and troop carriers were filled with Li Haoxian's army, and after nearly two months of bloody battles, Shang Kexi's army should have been almost consumed.

A few days ago, Hou Xuanyan held a clairvoyant mirror to watch, and there were already women, children and old people on the Shanhai Pass, and he immediately judged that the mountains and rivers outside the customs had also reached the point of exhaustion.

As a result, the resistance to the landing operation was reduced to a minimum, and Shang Kexi should be unable to resist the landing of the Northern Expeditionary Army from Bohai Bay.

The onslaught of Plugging Yinxi attracted all Shang Kexi's attention, and Hou Xuanyan was careful to wait until he increased his troops here before he dared to let the sailor land manned.

Otherwise, the risk of landing on the beach is too great, and if Shang Kexi is prepared and deploys heavy troops in several ports, his own naval division will suffer heavy losses.

When the Northern Expeditionary Army came behind him, the Qing soldiers realized that these visitors from the sea were like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

The firelight sounded from behind, and the Qing soldiers were like frightened birds, panicking all day.

Shang Kexi watched the stone bullets flying under the gate, the arrows were like rain, and the people were like ants gathering, shouting to kill the sky. Against the rolling logs, thunder stones, fireballs, and arrows that flew down from time to time, the Northern Expeditionary Army was still charging fearlessly, and it was just a feint.

The signal flare in the pass was lifted into the air, and the colorful and dazzling fireworks made countless Northern Expeditionary troops cheer and celebrate, and the Xiongguan in front of them was completely surrounded.

"Outside the Shanhaiguan is Liaotu!" It was the first time for Li Haoxian to step into the land outside Shanhaiguan, although it was no different from the outside, but Li Haoxian and the others were still shaken.

After fighting for so long, it finally came here, and the flesh and blood of the Northern Expeditionary army outside paved a big road, but it has not yet been able to climb to the top of Shanhaiguan City. However, it created conditions for the sailors to attract all the Qing troops, so that they were able to land.

The loss of the rear does not mean that the geographical advantage of Shanhaiguan is not there, in fact, the original intention of the construction of this Xiongguan is to work with the Great Wall to prevent foreign invasions from outside.

But the loss of the rear means that the Qing troops on the Shanhai Pass will become a lone army, and they will lose all supplies and support.

After completing the task, Gu Yinxi ordered the withdrawal of the army, Hou Xuanyan sat firmly in the rear, and said to the general who was full of tents: "We don't want the hostile Manchurian Jiannu, nor the surrendered Manchurian Jiannu, all we want is the land and port outside the Shanhai Pass." At the beginning, several generations of Jiliao governors worked hard to build the Songjin defense line in front of them, and after the trapped death was still gratifying, together with Xia Wanchun in Jingbei, the Songjin was cleared. Ladies and gentlemen, we have won the first step and the most difficult step, so let's celebrate tonight! ”

Yan Yingyuan got up and said: "Lord Wang, one city in Songjin can be defended for a few years, and Liaodong soldiers and horses are not easy to do, so it is better to directly send troops to land in Manchuria, bypass Songjin without fighting, and take Manchuria first." ”

Hou Xuanyan shook his head and said, "Although this move has the opportunity to quickly level Manchuria and end the war, it is not the safest way to play. We can take risks, but there's no need..."

Contrary to the jubilant atmosphere in Hou Xuanyan's tent, it was the loneliness and despair on Shanhaiguan, and the corpses on the city wall were covered with terrifying bullet holes, and Shang Kexi was determined to defend to the end.

Shanhaiguan is not just a wall, in fact, it has a place to store grain and soldiers, and it is a guard. Connected to the Great Wall with the city as a pass, the city is 14 meters high and 7 meters thick, with four main gates and a variety of defensive buildings. Including the "first pass in the world" arrow tower, Jingbian building, pastoral camp building, Linlu building, urn city.

When this place was built, I didn't expect to guard against the inside of the pass, so it was more difficult to attack Shanhaiguan from outside the pass than from inside the pass.

Shang Kexi looked at his men with pale faces, and said in a loud voice: "You don't have to panic, these Ming troops have rushed into our pass, and they are really throwing themselves into the net. Soon the reinforcements of the King of Pingxi will arrive, and when the time comes, we will attack inside and outside, kill these people first, and then switch to kill the enemy, and fight back to the Central Plains. ”

Shang Kexi's voice was strong and infectious, and after a few words, the Qing soldiers regained their fighting spirit. The most important thing is that Shang Kexi gave them hope again, hope to live.

All the Qing soldiers knew that the supplies on Shanhaiguan were enough for them to support for a long time, and if there were really reinforcements from King Pingxi, they could still turn defeat into victory.

The next day, after a tentative attack, Hou Xuanyan was stunned to find that the defenders of Shanhaiguan were still resisting.

Rao is Hou Xuanyan, who has always regarded Shang Kexi as a shameless traitor, and he has to be impressed by him, not every general can make his subordinates in a desperate situation resist stubbornly. Based on this alone, Shang Kexi is a famous general in Liaodong. At the beginning, Mao Wenlong's territory was just a small island, and it was unbelievable that his subordinates had such a gathering of talents.

These people from Phi Dao have played an important role in the history of later generations.

Of course, Hou Xuanyan didn't have time to sigh for Mao Wenlong, and after the celebration, he and his henchmen found out that their celebration banquet was set up early.

Thinking of his beloved general Li Haoxian who went deep behind enemy lines, Hou Xuanyan was a little irritable, he couldn't knock on Shanhaiguan as soon as possible, and his own people inside were easy to be closed and beaten by others. Although Li Haoxian was unaware of the danger at this time, he was still attacking everywhere and killing him.

At this time, Yao Yiyao, the commander of the Denglai Navy Division who came with the army, came to the camp of the Chinese army, and after seeing Hou Xuanyan, he found out that something was wrong.

"Lord Wang, victory is imminent, why is Lord Wang sullen?" Yao Yiyao didn't understand military affairs, and under his leadership, the sailors were more on orders. But he is a firearms expert in the Ming Dynasty, and many weapons have begun to lead the white-skinned people.

"Shang Kexi is stubborn and stubborn, and it is a little tricky for a while." Hou Xuanyan didn't need to hide it, and said generously.

Although he explained to Yao Yiyao, he didn't have much hope, after all, everyone knew that he was not good at commanding troops. Dispatch troops, adapt to this kind of thing, everyone present is better than him.

After Yao Yiyao heard this, he smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this, Xiaguan came this time, and the arson bomb he brought is enough to solve this problem." ”

Hou Xuan stood up suddenly, shook his shoulders violently, and asked, "What egg?" ”

"Don't shake, don't shake, the lower official is going to be shaken." Hou Xuanyan's hand strength is not small, and under the excitement, this weak admiral can't bear it.

After Hou Xuanyan let go, Yao Yiyao slowed down and said smugly: "When Xia Guan was developing artillery shells, he had a whim and compressed the fierce fire oil into the artillery shells. After the blast, the oil burns in all directions, which is the best way to destroy such a stubborn enemy. ”

Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up, isn't this thing an incendiary bomb, it's okay to fight Shanhaiguan, if the era of water warfare is full of wooden boats, then it's okay.

The resin water abundant in Jiuquan is actually oil, which was processed into fire oil and fierce fire oil, which was put into iron cans in the Tang Dynasty, lit and thrown at the enemy. Now Yao Yiyao has put them into the cannonballs, and the power is even more powerful, and he will encounter them.

Hou Xuanyan was a little disappointed when he heard what he said, after all, Shanhaiguan was full of earth and stone. Even if they could, they probably wouldn't burn many enemy troops.

Yao Yiyao patted his chest and promised that as long as countless arson bombs were hit into Shanhaiguan City, it would be enough to turn the things inside into ashes. At that time, it will be impossible to defend it with bare defensive structures.
