Text: Volume 10, Chapter 3, Section 8 Red Tide
Under the almost proclamatory threat of the Ming army, Huang Taiji and the remaining 200,000 Qing troops felt deep fear, and the Ming army told all the Qing troops with a huge Jingguan composed of 100,000 heads: In this battle, the Ming army will destroy the enemy and will never leave a living mouth!
As a result, Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Jilharang, Azig and others immediately began to mobilize all their forces and prepare for the final death throes. And the 200,000 Qing troops in Shimen Pass were also under the threat of death, and were blackmailed by Huang Taiji and others to show the last trace of war intent.
It didn't take long for the entire Shimen Pass to become noisy, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, Jierharang, and Azig each led a large army to garrison the four city walls, preparing to divide the troops to defend it, and the 160,000 Mongolian troops in the Shimen Pass were divided into four and stationed on the four sides of the Shimen Pass. The Manchu army under the command of Huang Taiji and the two yellow flag armies were still stationed in Shimen Pass, but after the assembly and mobilization, they did not go to the city to garrison, but stood by at any time and waited for the opportunity to move.
Just when the Qing army was busy defending the city, Liu Yunwei also gave the order for a general attack!
At this time, although the soldiers of the Ming army annihilated more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion in a battle, causing heavy losses to the Qing army, the Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry was not damaged, and the main force of the Qing army was still there, and the strength was still not to be underestimated.
Therefore, in order to minimize the casualties of the officers and men of each battalion, Liu Yunwei once again concentrated the artillery of the whole army outside the southern city of Shimen Pass, preparing to focus on breaking through the southern city wall. Moreover, Liu Yunwei also gathered three battalions of soldiers and horses from the Hanwei Army's pacesetter battalion, Feiyu battalion, and trapping camp, with a total of about 120,000 soldiers preparing to attack the city.
On the other three sides, Liu Yunwei ordered the soldiers of the three battalions of the Zhichong Battalion, the Huben Battalion, and the Yuecai Battalion to attack the eastern city wall of Shimen Guan; ordered the soldiers of the Yingyang Battalion and the Yulin Battalion to attack the west wall of Shimen Pass; Ordered Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, and Ai Nengqi to lead 150,000 soldiers of the Dangkou Battalion to concentrate all their forces to attack the northern city wall of Shimen Pass. The soldiers of the Changshui Battalion led by Wen Poyu did not participate in the siege battle, and waited for opportunities on the periphery and stood by at any time.
Time passed bit by bit, the drums on the battlefield of Shimen Pass shook the sky, the flags covered the sun, and the 600,000 or 700,000 troops of the Ming and Qing dynasties were making the final preparations for the decisive battle!
Under the command of Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Jierharang, and Azig, the Qing army moved all the materials for defending the city in Shimen Pass to the head of the city, and piled up bunkers with large wooden boxes and rolling stone sassholes to resist the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army. At the same time, the Qing army also learned the lessons of previous battles, and did not concentrate a large number of troops on the city wall, but arranged them under the city wall, and placed them all in the houses near the left, so as to prevent the troops from being hit by the Ming army's artillery fire.
At the same time, more than 400,000 soldiers of the Ming Army were also rapidly assembled, and four huge torrents gradually formed on all sides of Shimen Pass. The bright red and gorgeous military uniforms and armor of the soldiers of the Ming army are very conspicuous, dazzling in the sunlight, like four red dragons meandering forward, and like four turbulent red rivers, which are rushing around Shimen Pass.
At this time, hundreds of artillery pieces of various types concentrated by the Hanwei army were already in place, and the garrison Edward was directing his gunners to aim and load, and the entire Ming army artillery array was busy in a tense and orderly manner.
At this time, Shimen Pass has been surrounded by the boundless huge red tide, like a helpless island, which may be completely swallowed up by the red tide full of anger at any time!
In the afternoon, after the Ming army was assembled, they immediately buried the pot on the spot to make food, and after lunch, more than 400,000 soldiers were all in good spirits and began to form a team on the spot, waiting for the sound of the war drums of the siege.
And when the stone gate was closed, the 200,000 Qing troops were also ready, all waiting for the last moment to come.
Liu Yunwei looked up at the sky, only to see that there were no clouds and thousands of miles of sky, and the breeze was blowing and the face was coming, what a good time to fight and fight!
"Artillery battalion! Bombard, fire! ”
Liu Yunwei roared and gave the order to attack Shimen Pass.
Guo Yi and two hundred guards next to him roared in unison: "Artillery battalion! Fire! A loud roar rang out in all directions. Immediately afterwards, a total of 120,000 soldiers from the pacesetter battalion, the Feiyu battalion, and the trap camp assembled outside the southern city of Shimen Pass roared in unison: "Gale! Gale! Gale! ”
Edward, who had been waiting impatiently, was extremely excited when he heard the order, and immediately shouted hoarsely: "Big Buddha Machine, salvo!" Salvo! Fire! ”
As soon as the words fell, the two hundred and forty big Buddha cannons assembled by the Han Wei army began to roar, and the huge roar resounded in all directions like a dragon's roar, shooting out the two hundred and forty hot cannons violently, and smashing them into the southern city wall of Shimen Pass.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
With pieces of rubble flying sideways and wolf smoke everywhere, the southern city wall of Shimen Pass became a land of ashes in a blink of an eye, full of flying rubble and all kinds of debris flying into the sky, and the thousands of Mongolian Tartars stationed on the city wall have disappeared, I don't know whether they have been buried under the rubble, or have fled screaming.
An hour later, the 240 Great Buddha cannons slowly stopped shelling, and the gunners of the artillery camp immediately began to cool the guns with damp cloths and cold water. However, before the Qing army in Shimen Pass could catch their breath, the 320 Huzun guns of the Hanwei Army Artillery Battalion began the second round of shelling.
The Huzun cannon, which was not as powerful as the big Buddha cannon, was fast in rate of fire and large in number, not only did not reduce the intensity of the artillery bombardment, but gave the Qing army in Shimen Pass a more terrifying feeling. The Qing army in the pass only felt that there were cannons flying everywhere, and the roaring artillery on the Ming artillery array barely paused at all, and it was always roaring, which made people feel deep despair.
At this moment, there is no longer any figure on the south wall of Shimen Pass, and even the bunkers stacked by the Qing army with rolling wood and boulders before the war are still very little left under the fierce shelling, and the entire south wall of Shimen Pass has become bare, a scene of ruins and broken walls!
The Qing army in Shimen Pass finally endured nearly an hour, and the three hundred and twenty Huzun cannons outside the city stopped roaring, and then they were frightened by the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun, and the three hundred and twenty divine machine artillery vehicles of the Hanwei Army Artillery Battalion began to exert their might!
This time, the Han Wei army did not attack the defensive forces on the southern city wall, but used these three hundred and twenty divine machine artillery carriages to strike a stormy blow at the pass. A large number of Qing soldiers hiding under the city wall were shot on the spot by the dense and fierce rain of arrows, and even those Qing soldiers hiding in the houses near the left did not survive, and the rain of arrows under the advance of gunpowder was so powerful that the doors and windows of those houses could not resist at all, and they were shot into sieves one after another, and the Qing soldiers hiding inside also suffered immediately.
As a last resort, Huang Taiji could only order the army stationed on the southern city wall to continue to retreat, and first get out of the range of the Ming army's arrow rain. Otherwise, before the Ming army could land in the city to fight, the Qing warriors defending the city would have been killed and wounded and collapsed on the spot.
In less than half an hour, the Shenji gun truck of the Hanwei Army Artillery Battalion stopped firing. Immediately afterwards, the large array of the Hanwei army outside the southern city wall sounded a strong war drum, and hundreds of thousands of Hanwei soldiers began to roar loudly, and countless weapons began to hit the ground neatly and rhythmically.
Immediately afterward, the same sound was heard from the east, west, and north sides of Shimen Pass, as if there was nothing else between heaven and earth, and only countless Han warriors who were furious and vowed to take revenge on the Manchu Tartars!
Huang Taiji listened to the loud noise outside the city, only to feel that his heart was also beating with the rhythm, and a huge fear hit his heart in an instant.
"Ascend to the city and garrison! Fight to the death! Warriors, fight for the Qing Dynasty! ”
Before he had time to think about it, Huang Taiji pulled out the war knife on his waist and roared loudly, commanding more than 30,000 Mongolian troops under his command to rush to the southern city wall of Shimen Pass, preparing to fight to the death with the Han Wei army.
"Today is only the first day of the war, but the war has reached this level, is it possible that the warriors of my Great Qing Dynasty are so weak that hundreds of thousands of troops can't even hold a small fortress?"
Huang Taiji led his own soldiers to rush to the south city wall, and at the same time lamented in his heart, he didn't know how long this stone gate pass could hold on.
At the same time, Daishan, who led the army to garrison the eastern city wall, Azig, who led the army to garrison the western city wall, and Zilharang, who led the army to garrison the northern city wall, also led 40,000 Mongol troops to prepare for a major battle. It's just that in the face of the high morale of the Ming army soldiers outside the city, whether it is Daishan, Azig, Zilharang, or hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops, they were all shocked by the vast Ming red tide in front of them, and everyone looked at the scene outside the city in amazement, speechless for a long time.
Liu Yunwei looked at the Manchu pennant fluttering on the southern city wall, and his heart couldn't help but be full of disgust and disgust, and seeing that the soldiers of the army had made all the preparations for attacking the city, he shouted loudly: "Regain Shimen Pass!" Kill Huang Taiji! ”
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
"Siege!"
With Liu Yunwei's order, the 120,000 soldiers of the pacesetter battalion, the flying feather battalion, and the three battalions of the trapping camp roared angrily and launched a fierce offensive, and the huge red tide slammed into the already devastated city wall of Shimen Pass.
I saw that Lu Ying and Wu Xing commanded the soldiers of the A and B battalions under the command of the pacesetter battalion, the Feiyu battalion, and the three battalions of the trap camp to rush to the south city wall, and under the cover of more than 20,000 elite bird gunners in the third battalion and Zheng Zhibao's 10,000 iron army soldiers, they quickly rushed up with hundreds of ladders.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Ming army on the other three sides of Shimen Pass also launched a fierce attack, and the soldiers of each battalion rushed to Shimen Pass with a roar, with a fierce momentum and indomitable!
At this time, Shimen Pass, which is like an isolated island, is already stormy, and it may collapse and disappear at any time under the violent beating of the endless red tide. And Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Azig, and Zilharang are all screaming and commanding the army to fight, doing their best to do the last dying struggle!
