The ferocity of the Jurchens, when they encounter an army that is as fierce as him, but is more cunning and advanced, their so-called invincibility is actually just a piece of tissue paper.

The sound of field artillery resounded throughout the sky of Shanhaiguan, and at the same time, it also made the defense of the city by the female real yellow flag soldiers guarding the inner city turn into empty talk.

Then there was the hard city gate, under the repeated bombardment of more than ten eighteen-pounder guns, it finally fell apart, and the huge wreckage of the city gate, with the wail of the Jurchen warriors who desperately resisted behind the city gate, "Bang!! "All of a sudden, the dust that covered the ground collapsed!

At this time, Sony was only guarded by his henchmen and hid back in the inner city for half an hour, just under his nose, they were guarding the city guarded by the soldiers of the Yellow Banner, and the local Han army opened a gap for a strong force, and at the gate of the city at his feet, he could vaguely see a vigorous figure, shuttling along the open city gate, and bringing a killing machine.

This is a cruel fact that is not unbelievable to the self-confident Qixinlang Sony, but has to be believed.

After the city gate was opened, the Jurchens' geographical advantage was gone, but with the influx of Hongtang soldiers into the inner city of Shanhaiguan, the confrontation with each other changed from siege warfare to lane warfare, which could give full play to the cooperation ability of Hongtang soldiers, which made the resistance of the Jurchen soldiers more and more unsustainable.

By the time the sky dawned, the Hongtang soldiers had completely occupied the absolute advantage of the battlefield in Shanhaiguan, and compressed the remnants of the Jurchens into the alleys of dozens of feet of houses near the south gate.

And with the increase in light, the muskets of the Hongtang army's most lethal were finally able to exert their great power.

Last night, the battlefield entangled with each other and the dim vision limited the real combat strength of the musketeers of the Hongtang army, and now when the vision was clear, the Hongtang musketeers soldiers skillfully cleared the flintlock spears in their hands, loaded them, aimed and other steps in one go, and then shot straight towards the Jurchen soldiers who appeared and disappeared from time to time in the opposite houses, or simply aimed at the Jurchen soldiers on the front line of the fierce battle, and saw the opportunity to easily knock them down.

From three o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the afternoon, about seven hours of waiting time, the first pass in the world that once blocked the Qing Dynasty for several months completely fell into the hands of Hongtang Wu Jie and them.

Unfortunately, a group of Jurchen generals led by Qixin Lang Soni, with the remnants of thousands of soldiers, came out of the south gate and ran straight towards the Guannai, to report back to the female Allah forces in the distant Jingshi.

Wu Jie and they took Shanhaiguan, and after cleaning up the main threats, they did not stop more, but left the spy generals lurking in the Han army of the Qing Dynasty, and they continued to clean up the remnants of Shanhaiguan and organized people to guard Yushanhaiguan to meet the Hongtang army supported behind, while Wu Jie, the main force, turned westward, and took advantage of the fact that the news of Shanhaiguan's change of ownership did not leak out, and went straight to Zunhua and other important towns.

At the same time, a carrier pigeon flew up from Shanhaiguan and flew towards the Phi Island in Dongjiang Town, not far away, and when this carrier pigeon with extremely important information landed in the special domestication nest on Phi Island, it was less than an hour before Wu Jie and them occupied Shanhaiguan!

"Shanhaiguan has been occupied by my Hongtang army, and now it's time for our Dongjiang Town and other soldiers to show their hands and feet!!"

The news transmitted by the carrier pigeon fell into the hands of Wu Chao, Shang Kexi and others as soon as possible, and everyone was full of ambition and high morale to start taking action.

"General Shang, why don't we make a big bet? Look at my whale soldiers and your Dongjiang Town soldiers, who will occupy the capital of Daqingsheng first? ”

Wu Chao, as the local general of Dayuan Island, does not have much contradiction with Shang Kexi and the generals themselves, but it does not prevent them from competing through battle, and there is still time to bet with Shang Kexi at this time.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want!"

Shang Kexi and Kong Youde readily agreed.

"It's a pity that the goal of my Ryukyu soldiers is not Shengjing, otherwise I would have wanted to join in!!"

The Ryukyu Division led by Xiao Xiurong needed to occupy Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and Shang Kexi and Wu Chao's teams were moving in the opposite direction, and sighed regretfully.

"Hahaha, hard work!! The time will give us a share of what we have won! ”

Wu Chao and Shang Kexi and other main generals smiled slammedly, patted Xiao Xiurong's shoulder and comforted him, after all, people sacrificed their ego as the second line of defense to buy time for them to occupy or destroy the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it worthy of admiration on both sides?

"Let's go!!"

Dongjiang Town, Phi Island, which has long been full of flags, changed for a while, and countless vigorous figures came out of it, boarded the tall warship, and sailed straight to the dark horizon on the horizon by the sea breeze.

The war completely started at this moment, and the first tentative action of the Hongtang army, because of Wu Jie's successful completion of the task, made the Hongtang army take action one after another.

By 23 August, taking advantage of the lack of air defense behind the Qing Dynasty, Wu Jie led his troops to take down several important towns and put the Great Wall in Zunhua and Shanhaiguan into his hands, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers from He Sanjiang and Peng Zhihai from Shandong also made up for the shortage of soldiers defending the city.

Coupled with the soldiers lurking in the Han army in the spy warfare, by buying the Han army's soldiers and recruiting the local people, the first border defense line reached more than 60,000 troops under the efforts of Wu Jie and them, which was temporarily enough to support the guards of the defense line and buy time for Wu Chao and other teams in the rear to destroy, destroy, and occupy the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

And after the first line of defense was established, Wu Jie's main team was finally able to rest and recuperate, and at the same time, the fierce battles brought brilliant results, etc., how could it not be the strength of Wu Jie's Hongtang army, which numbered only 30,000, and after the defense line was established, the losses of this Hongtang army reached more than 8,000 people, and the remaining strength was only in the early 20,000s.

Fortunately, the 10,000 cavalry of Hongtang's headquarters have also been heard, and in a week or so, Hongtang's cavalry will also land on this black land, bringing Wu Jie a mobile force that can compete with the Qing Dynasty iron cavalry in the field.

The middle and low-level Hongtang soldiers were temporarily peaceful, but Wu Jie, as the main general, was not able to live in peace at all, and he also needed to seize the time to organize manpower to strengthen the fortifications along the defense line, so as to build a more complete and solid fortification for his army before the Qing soldiers came over.

The road from Shanhaiguan to Zunhua was full of camels, horses, laborers and carriages, and the Hongmen logistics baggage ships that followed Wu Jie's army transported batches of materials that had been prepared long ago to Shanhaiguan to help Wu Jie re-establish a strong fortification.
