Text: Volume 10, Chapter 3, Section 9 Bloody Battle Xiongguan

Outside the southern city wall of Shimen Pass, more than 20,000 elite bird gunners under the pacesetter battalion, Feiyu battalion and trapping camp of the Hanwei army have been lined up into a huge horizontal formation, three rows of seemingly thin horizontal formations, each row has more than 7,000 soldiers, in the roar of Bao Desheng, the garrison of the pacesetter battalion C battalion, the huge horizontal array began to exert its might, aimed at the south wall of Shimen Pass, and immediately beat the Mongolian Tartars who defended the city to death.

At the same time, Zheng Zhibao also led 10,000 Iron Man soldiers to fight in formation, and the soldiers formed a phalanx under the command of Zheng Zhibao, and 10,000 iron tire bows pointed diagonally to the sky, shooting round after round of arrows. The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun continued to fly towards the southern wall of Shimen Pass, turning into dark clouds and crossing the towering city wall, scattering the Mongol army stationed behind the city wall. In an instant, the Qing army's defensive army deployed on the southern wall of Shimen Pass fell into chaos.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji was secretly surprised, hurriedly mobilized a group of shields, ordered the Mongol army to form a huge shield encirclement, and then regrouped the Mongol army stationed on the southern city wall, and gathered all the archers among the more than 30,000 Mongol soldiers, ready to counterattack.

"Spread my will, the archers will fight back with all their might, and release arrows to me!"

Immediately afterwards, the eight thousand Mongolian archers gathered by Huang Taiji began to exert their strength, only to see one after another dark clouds rising into the air, flying over the southern wall of Shimen Pass and flying towards the Hanwei soldiers outside the city.

At this time, on the battlefield of the southern city wall of Shimen Pass, one after another dark clouds covering the sky rose into the sky, shooting in the opposite direction, and the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air and the roar of fine birds spread in all directions, almost covering up the roars of tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield.

In the face of the all-out counterattack of the Qing army, the first to bear the brunt were more than 20,000 elite bird guns. Seeing this, Lu Ying and Wu Xing immediately set about responding, urgently mobilized 10,000 soldiers from the Feiyu Battalion and the trapping camp, and guarded the front of the huge horizontal formation with heavy shields in their hands.

In this way, the two sides began to shoot fiercely, but because the firepower of the Hanwei army was more fierce, they always had the advantage and suppressed the Mongol army defending the city to death.

However, even so, the Mongol army defending the city never gave up resistance, after all, once the city was broken, everyone would be slaughtered by the Ming army, and no one wanted to die!

Lu Ying and Wu Xing saw that the Mongol army was always resisting stubbornly, and they were not in a hurry to attack at the moment, but continued to order the fire to shoot horizontally. After all, it is not difficult to shoot with a good bird, as long as there is no problem with the bird's gun and the gunpowder is sufficient, the bird's gunner can continue to shoot. The Mongol army defending the city could not hold it for a long time, you must know that drawing a bow and shooting arrows is very physically demanding, especially the arms and fingers, after high-intensity shooting, the Qing archers can not last!

Even the Iron Man soldiers stopped firing after a few rounds of salvos. Under the leadership of Zheng Zhibao, 10,000 soldiers all put away their iron-tired bows and stepped forward in formation with long-handled swords, preparing to participate in the siege battle under the command of Lu Ying.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Mongol army stationed at the southern wall of Shimen Pass to be unable to support it, and the rain of arrows fired by the Mongol archers began to thin out, and then they stopped shooting.

Seeing this, Lu Ying smiled coldly and said to Wu Xing: "The Tartar is over!" The soldiers of the trapped camp took the lead, the soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion followed, and the soldiers of the Iron Man Army and the soldiers of the Pacesetter Battalion pressed the formation! The whole army is on the offensive! ”

After an order was given, Wu Xing personally led the soldiers of the trapped camp to step forward, Zhang Xun of the first battalion and Sun Mingwu of the second battalion of the garrison, one left and one right, and each led the soldiers of the headquarters to rush to the south city wall with the cloud ladder. At the same time, Lu Ying also ordered the pacesetter battalion, the flying feather battalion, and the bird gunners trapped in the camp to retreat immediately, giving up the battlefield to the melee soldiers.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion, the Iron Man Army, and the Pacesetter Battalion also stepped forward one after another, waiting for the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy. While the soldiers of the A and B battalions of the trapped camp were fighting in the city, tens of thousands of soldiers of the rest of the battalions were roaring in formation, tapping the ground with their weapons neatly and rhythmically, shouting and cheering for the soldiers of the trapped camp who were fighting to kill the enemy.

"The blood does not drain! No truce! ”

"The blood does not drain! No truce! ”

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Hanwei Army roared in the wind, and the sound shook the four fields! The Mongolian Tartar soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the soldiers of the trapped camp at the head of the city were shocked by the momentum of the soldiers of the Han Wei army outside the city, and the soldiers of the trapped camp retreated one after another!

Liu Yunwei also felt his blood boiling when he saw this scene in the big array of the Chinese army, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum!" Cheer on the soldiers! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Outside the southern city wall of Shimen Pass, the large array of the Hanwei Army sounded the war drums that soared to the sky, which pushed the war to a climax.

The blood flag is cold, and the war drums are roaring!

After the war drums were beaten in the large array of the Hanwei Army, Li Tianhao, the commander of the eastern battlefield, Gao Hongguang, the commander of the western battlefield, and Li Dingguo, the commander of the northern battlefield, also ordered the war drums to be beaten to cheer for the Ming soldiers who were besieging the city.

All of a sudden, the entire Shimen Pass was surrounded by the fierce war drums of the Ming army, and the soldiers of the Hanwei Army and the soldiers of the Dangkou Battalion who were besieging the fortress were suddenly full of morale, and they all sacrificed their lives to fight in the city, killing the Mongolian defenders of all parts of the country in embarrassment.

However, the morale of the more than 100,000 Mongolian Tatar soldiers defending the city became more and more depressed, as if they were frightened by the sound of war drums of the Ming army.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji, Azig, Zilharang, and Daishan were anxious, and constantly commanded their own soldiers to supervise the battle everywhere, and organized all Mongolian soldiers and horses to defend the city with all their might. Azig even led hundreds of his own soldiers to personally rush to the flesh-and-blood city, and fought with the soldiers of the Yingyang Battalion and the Yulin Battalion who attacked the western city wall.

Azig thought that with his bravery, he could motivate the Mongol army defending the city to drive the Hanwei army that had already climbed the western wall out of the city. However, it was only after the battle that Azig felt powerless. Azig only felt that the soldiers of the Hanwei army who climbed the western city wall were all fearless of death, and as long as these soldiers of the Hanwei army climbed to the top of the city, they would not look back until they died in battle!

After Azig killed a soldier of the Eagle Yang Battalion with one sword, he was immediately surrounded by two other soldiers of the Hanwei Army, and in the blink of an eye, he was killed and repelled by the life-fighting style of the soldiers of the Hanwei Army.

After Azig blocked the slashing sword with one sword, he quickly took a few steps back, allowing the personal soldiers behind him to block the soldiers of the Hanwei Army who came up from the encirclement. Then Azig retreated from the city in a cold sweat, standing under the city wall and commanding his Mongol army to continue the fierce battle.

Seeing that the Mongol defenders were gradually unable to resist, Azig sent people to the southern city wall to ask Huang Taiji for instructions on whether to let the remaining Manchu soldiers and horses under the command of Azig with red flags, as well as the remnants of the Manchu army with blue flags under the command of Zierharang and the remnants of the Red Banner of the Manchu Army under the command of Dai Shan, immediately participate in the battle. Although these Manchu soldiers and horses have been crippled by the Hanwei army, their combat power is still above that of the Mongols. What's more, the strength of these three armies is also about 30,000 people, which is enough to turn the tide of the war!

However, when Huang Taiji received Azig's request, he fell into hesitation. At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Qing army can be said to have suffered heavy losses, broken muscles and bones, every surviving Manchu flag soldier is a treasure for Huang Taiji, when the Mongolian army still has more than 100,000 troops, Huang Taiji is unwilling to use the Manchu flag soldiers and horses to fight.

However, as Azig said, the battle situation at this time has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, and the various units of the Mongol army have begun to show a declining trend, and they are already powerless in the face of the fierce attack of the Ming army. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Shimen Pass is lost!

After a short struggle in his heart, Huang Taiji still compromised with the reality and ordered the remnants of the Manchu army with blue flags, the Manchu army with red flags, and the Manchu army with red flags to immediately enter the city to fight and defend Shimen Pass with all their might.

At the same time, as the southern city wall of the main direction of the Ming army, Huang Taiji also strengthened the defensive force, and specially mobilized 3,000 elite soldiers from the Manchu army with yellow flags for reinforcements.

With the strengthening of the Qing army's defensive strength, the various units of the Hanwei army and the soldiers of the Dangkou battalion suddenly felt a great increase in resistance, and the soldiers who had already climbed the city wall in many places were driven down by the Qing army, and the casualties of the soldiers of each battalion rose sharply.

At this time, Liu Yunwei looked at the southern city wall that was fighting fiercely, his tiger eyes were full of anger, and his eyebrows were almost wrinkled together.

On the southern city wall, the soldiers of the trapped camp had slowly withdrawn, and after Lu Ying commanded the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion to fight a bloody battle, they also withdrew. At this time, the garrison Guo Yi was commanding the soldiers of the first and second battalions of the pacesetter battalion to fight in the city, but the soldiers fought very fiercely and were never able to gain a firm foothold in the city.

And the situation on the eastern battlefield, the western battlefield and the northern battlefield is also almost the same, the soldiers of the Ming army are fighting hard, the Qing army is also fighting to the death, and the armies on both sides are holding on to it, it depends on who is the first to hold on!

Liu Yunwei pondered for a while, and said secretly: "The resistance of the Qing army in this battle is stubborn, I originally planned to take Shimen Pass in one go after hitting the morale of the Qing army, but now it seems that I am a little anxious." ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei looked up at the sun that was gradually moving westward, sighed heavily, and gave the order for the whole army to retreat.

After the order was issued, hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers who were besieging Shimen Pass slowly retreated, and the birds and men in various armies formed formations to step forward to cover and suppress the Qing soldiers who tried to shoot the Ming soldiers on the city.

It didn't take long for the officers and soldiers of the Ming army to withdraw, and according to Liu Yunwei's deployment, the armies of all departments were still camped on the spot according to the deployment during the siege, and continued to surround Shimen Pass.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Qing army from concentrating its forces to break through in the night, Liu Yunwei ordered Wen Poyu to lead the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion to seize the time to rest and recuperate, and be ready to attack at any time to support the armies of various departments. In addition, Liu Yunwei also ordered the cavalry officers and men under the various armies to be ready for defensive deployment.
