The battle of Ningwuguan in history is extremely tragic, it is said that Zhou Yuji killed more than 70,000 people before and after, and Li Zicheng almost lost the confidence to go east, however, even so, Zhou Yuji was also a failure, Ningwuguan from Li Zicheng began to attack the Guancheng and fell, only held on for eleven days.

And the Ming Dynasty, the most lacking thing is time!

However, this problem was blocked by Mao Jue in this time and space! The most precious gift he gave to Ning Wuguan was not those weapons, but boxes and boxes of grain.

Because of these grains, Ningwu Pass, which should have been broken in the first few days of March because of the lack of food, is still resisting fiercely.

History books describe the details of this battle, and there are chapters full of mob corpses, but in fact, war is always more brutal than writing.

"Here we go!"

A terrible scream sounded, and several Ningwuguan defenders were like ghosts, holding their heads with their palms, and lying directly on the ground, the second half of the words were still floating in the air, and the deafening roar had already come.

Crash~

The sturdy female wall battlements were all blown apart by this blow, the heavy iron balls were deflated, and the fragments of the wall bricks whistled like bullets, crackling and shooting out in all directions.

There is always bad luck, poof, a Ningwuguan defender ate the third of the bricks in the back of his head, and immediately bloomed, and the blood sprayed around, unfortunately, sprayed Luo Guang who was holding a bamboo canned food box on the side.

"Old man Xu is crooked, you are an immortal, you can't look at your blood spurt?"

The cans were sprayed with blood, and a few farmers who had just put down their hoes were about to vomit, but the food guards skimmed their bodies to the side like that, and pulled them up into their stomachs in a clump of noise.

Only a veteran like him who crawled out of the pile of dead people knew that there was nothing worse than starvation than death! What are you afraid of with some blood, if you don't eat your stomach, you won't have the strength to fight when it's his turn for a while, that's called a catastrophe!

However, this guy looked stunned, and it did boost morale, and the two of them dragged the unlucky ghost who was missing half of his head down in a hurry, and took advantage of the intermittent fire to drag the heavy sack and hurriedly went up.

This help is a bit too obvious, each sack is also written with a few big characters in ink, Dongjiang Acheng Warehouse Bag, these bags full of earthwork are stacked behind the battlement that has just been blown up by the gunpowder, and a simple battlement is exposed.

The imposing gate building had also collapsed in half, and a girder was pressed crookedly to one side, and as the cannons were more and more massively deployed on the battlefield, it was clear that these wooden fortifications could not keep up with the pace of the war.

Taking this telescope for a small half, Zhou Yuji looked down worriedly.

The artillery of the Chuang army is obviously too amateurish, not to mention the gunners who are fed with the same weight as the Dongjiang River, even the skilled gunners of the Qin army who are better than Yuan Chonghuan, the range of the general's cannon is three or four miles, but this distance is not to mention the cannon target like the Dongjiang River.

In order to make up for the gap in the skills of the shooters, he moved the cannon forward to a position less than 400 meters away from the city wall of Ningwuguan, and fired almost flat, and also dug a deep pit on the hillside, hiding the barrel at the bottom, leaving only a firing hole, and the side was all surrounded by wood, earth and stone.

There are a total of more than a dozen cannons, just for these ten cannon pits, the breaking army almost paid thousands of lives, however, the strategic value of these sacrifices is not lost, the battlements on the head of the city were almost bald by these flat-fire guns, and the defenders of Ningwuguan were also firmly pressed behind this and couldn't raise their heads.

As soon as the round was over, the intrusive army at the bottom of the mountain once again rushed up with a ladder like boiling seawater.

"legs!"

The mouth was full, and he scolded vaguely, but he still didn't put down the filling box, but just stuffed the last piece of braised pork in his mouth, Luo Guangyu picked up the flintlock pistol beside him, and rushed to the city wall.

After a big battle, the bloody flesh of the bayonet could easily block the barrel, and after a bloody battle, almost one-third of the barrel of the entire army would be eliminated, and the bayonet that had been bent was thrown away.

But Ning Wuguan didn't have the financial resources, the bayonet was red in a few days, and the four thousand firearms sent by Mao Jue were left, and there were only 1,800 or 900 left, and the bayonet was a musketeer Zhou Yuji couldn't afford to play, so he could only go back to the previous era, the musketeer was the musketeer, and he withdrew after the gun, and replaced it with a melee sword and shield spearman to fight hand-to-hand.

In the crackling gunshots, the intruders carrying the ladders were like hitting an invisible and transparent wall, and their bodies shook violently and fell to the ground, but there were too many intruders, and in the overwhelming roar, one after another ladders fell fiercely on the edge of the city wall, and then the dense homeless people climbed up like ants.

"Fuck your uncle!"

This bayonet is used to it, even if he can't shoot a gun, Luo Guangyu still copied it in his hand, and the first Dashun army just climbed up with a knife in his mouth, and let him open the scoop with a pop, and then shouted, two hook sickles stabbed from behind, and the four soldiers bared their teeth and grinned together, and the heavy ladder collapsed with the screams of more than a dozen Dashun soldiers above.

But the war is fair, Luo Guangyu just pulled back his body, the crackling bow and arrow shot up again, and an arrow flew over the old face of the goods, filling a scar on his rough face, he was lucky, more than a dozen of them didn't have time to retract and were shot into the body by this heavy arrow, some fell directly on the wall, and some fell back with blood spraying in their mouths.

And there is no shortage of people who know each other!

"Lao Li!"

A similar veteran beside him was directly pierced by an arrow, staggered two steps and fell directly to the ground, even if his feelings were as indifferent as Luo Guang's, he couldn't help but grab his neck and shout excitedly.

"Haven't you fucking married a daughter-in-law yet? What are you pretending to be, get up for Lao Tzu!"

The blood in his mouth gushed out like a spring, but the old soldier grinned with an ugly smile.

"The five of us bet on who would marry the daughter-in-law first, but I didn't expect ......, I didn't expect ...... You're the ugliest of you, the closest you've come to winning!"

"Lao Tzu......, the cigarette under Lao Tzu's bed has been lost to you, do it well! Don't, don't let the brethren laugh at you under the Nine Springs!"

His lungs were shot through, and he coughed up the last mouthful of blood, and the veteran soldier who escaped from the hands of death on the battlefield in Liaodong also had a crooked head, just like those recruits, forever silent on this land, in troubled times, human life is not as good as a dog!

"Hey!"

smashed his fist on the ground, looked back, those Dashun troops had rushed up a lot, were on the battlements, fighting fiercely with the defenders, pinching each other's necks and rolling, his eyes were blood-red, his head was hot, and he put down the corpse of Lao Li that had begun to be cold, Luo Guangyu suddenly carried a powder keg from behind the city, strode into a Shun army and knocked him off the city, and immediately grabbed the flintlock pistol of the musketeer next to him, squinted his eyes and aimed at it.

There was a loud bang, three ladders, and hundreds of Shun troops were swept out by this wave of air, and more than a dozen Ningwu Pass guards were shocked with it, and at this moment, Zhou Yuji, who was in command of the blood struggle on the gatehouse, was startled, and hurriedly looked through the telescope, and after a while, suddenly his brows couldn't help but raise slightly.

It was another day of bloody fighting, not only the corpses of the mob were piled up all over the city, but the officers and soldiers were also dead and wounded, lying there in all directions, some of the new Ding were tired of lying with the corpses, and they were unwilling to move, but those veterans who had fought with the peasant army from all over the place were staggering and falling apart, swaying and hurrying down the city.

Hurry up and eat!

Anything can happen on the battlefield, and only by maintaining physical strength can you survive!

Dinner is obviously not as luxurious as breakfast, a box of canned sweet potatoes for one person, everything is thrown in the cauldron, sweet potatoes, potatoes, bud rice sticks, canned food left over by the sergeant who died before eating, and even rats and toads that he caught, but Luo Guangfu didn't pick it, and when he came out of a big bowl, he stuffed it into his stomach!

"Boss! Boss!"

An excited shout suddenly sounded beside him, it was a kid who was assigned to their general flag after being stationed in Ningwu Pass, because he didn't eat enough when he was a child, he grew black and short, and the big guys called him Xiaodi Bean.

"Don't eat these things, the chief soldier is merciful, and the wine and meat are distributed! One person, a big bowl of wine, a big bowl of canned food, and half a cigarette! Let's go! ”

This shout made the dozens of soldiers eating around the cauldron couldn't help but raise their heads, but what was surprising was that the veterans who rushed to the front with good things were all squatting there silently this time, and then pulling rotten food.

"Chief, you're really not going! It's gone for a while!"

Seeing a few recruits who couldn't resist the temptation to put down their bowls and go to the city gate, Didouzi couldn't help but shout again.

"If you don't go, I'll go!"

As soon as he turned around, the hem of his clothes was suddenly torn apart, and he turned his head in shock, but saw that Luo Guangfu was full of ferocity and pulled him back, stuffed a broken can of bamboo into his hand, and roared in a low voice under his head.

"Beans! Brother is making an exception today, teach you once! It's not that good!"

"Why! Why doesn't the wine taste good? ”

"Less damn bullshit, eat quickly!"

This wine is indeed not so delicious, after the wine is smoked, the meal is finished, and after the chic meal, a few cigarettes gathered, and more than 200 Ningwuguan defenders gathered, every five people, with a powder keg stuffed in their hands.

The veteran Ding who knew it in his heart already had this awareness, and the new Ding, who was still confused, panicked, but no matter whether they regretted it or not, the pro-soldiers pressed the formation, and more than 200 people were still transferred from the corners of the city wall with ropes, and under the pressure of the cold and shining muzzle of the pro-soldier Ding Ding, Zhou Yuji waved his hand forward with a gloomy face.

"Blow it up! Come back and have a reward, Lao Tzu will support you for the rest of your life!"

That's how the battlefield goes! Whether you are timid or not, there may be a way to live if you move forward, and if you retreat, you will die, gritting your teeth and thanking you, these death squads carried powder kegs on their backs, and one of them took care of them, and rushed forward with their heads bored, and gradually drowned in the gloomy night under the anxious gaze of Zhou Yuji's eyes.

Bang!

A huge explosion pierced the silent night sky, and then exploded one after another, and the entire army array was like ants that were shaken up for a while, countless torches were blazing under the mountain, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, angry scolding, screams, begging for mercy, and the chaotic sounds constituted a big miscellaneous drama, a series of explosions set off a few meters high fire, and those who opened their teeth and claws in the night were like night demons.

A total of seven explosions, two hundred death squads, none of them came back alive, but looking at the chaotic army under the city, Zhou Yuji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this trouble, the pressure on the city wall will be much smaller.

Maybe it can hold out to the imperial court reinforcements!

couldn't help it, Zhou Yuji turned around and looked towards the east.

It's a pity that what Zhou Yuji didn't know was that the reinforcements he was looking forward to might never come.

History has really been changed in the hands of Mao Jue, the 40,000 horses of the Guanning Army, which was originally a step late, successfully arrived in Jingshi City after more than ten days of trekking, followed by 8,000 people and horses of Tang Tong, the general soldier of Jizhen, and the Beijing camp will eliminate the old and weak, and there will be almost 200,000 people in Heba and Bajia.

Although the three major battalions of the Beijing Division that Yongle once fought in the entire grassland have long been annihilated in history, they are still less than 200,000, and now all the troops that Chongzhen can mobilize are here.

And compared with history, although today's Ming court is not rich, but it is not poor, the 300,000 taels of silver from Xungui's hands, as well as 16.7 million taels of silver from Mao Wenlong Mao Jue's father and son, and more than 300,000 stone of grain, Chongzhen is surprisingly generous, and he is not stingy with all of them.

After getting the salary and being promised to repel the thieves, they could distribute more, and the morale of the Guanning army, who had abandoned his wife and children and left the Guanning outside the gate, was also reinvigorated.

However, it is estimated that Wu Sangui must be uncomfortable, and his body is hard when he has food and salary, and Chongzhen did not hesitate to send more than 20 Wenchen eunuchs to the military supervision army, which can be regarded as a preliminary clamp on his Liaodong generals.

However, there are not many choices left for Wu Sangui, he can only pray that Li Zicheng will be defeated in a battle, which can save this title, and then Mao Jue will hinder the righteousness of the world, so he really don't enter the customs.

Everything that happened in Jingshi was recorded by Lu Zhong quietly, and immediately flew high with the wings of a peregrine falcon, and fell into Mao Jue's eyes in detail.

"Oh, a lord is ready! The other master shouldn't have been waiting outside the door for too long, so he can inform Song Xiance! ”

Sitting up from the shaking office chair, he reached out and threw the secret report into a ball and threw it into the brazier beside him, Mao Jue clapped his hands and laughed.

However, Adriana was not so happy when she heard the news, she frowned worriedly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked seriously.

"General, the Guan Ning Army and Jizhen have been gathered, in case the imperial court wins the battle and Li Chuang is defeated, how should we deal with Da Liao, your move is still too risky! Are you really sure that Da Ming will definitely lose? ”

"I'm not sure!"

Mao Jue's fluttering sentence almost made Adelena angry, but in an instant, he paced to the front of the big sand table in the center of the headquarters, and muttered while looking at the splendid mountains and rivers.

"It's like more than ten years, many sides are Jiannu's menacing cavalry, and I'm not sure I'll survive!"

"But at least there are no regrets!"

Mao Jue's words always seemed to be a little obscure, listening to Adriana couldn't help but think about it, in her daze, Mao Jue's face suddenly became serious, and she reached out and pulled up the Ningwuguan wooden building that was inserted on the nine edges, and immediately stretched out her hand, and threw it into the blazing brazier.

That look is exactly the same as Zhou Yuji, who sent out the death squad!
