Early the next morning, the Dashun army guarding the pass was still sleepy-eyed, but suddenly felt that the mountains were shaking under their feet, and several people who were on duty in the city hurriedly asked each other about what happened.

At this time, they heard many Dashun soldiers pointing at the distance, and some people were even screaming in fright, it turned out that there were more than a dozen black hole Hongyi giant cannons standing on the dirt slope in the distance, and they didn't know when they were transported.

These Hongyi cannons are commanded by a special gunner in front, and unlike ordinary artillery, these cannons are equipped with a light door on them, which makes the already powerful early cannon become a killer on the battlefield.

Speaking of which, these new technologies are also thanks to Zheng's dedication.

"Fire!"

Hongyi giant cannon continued to bombard the Guancheng of Tongguan, and the slope was covered with armor and armor of the Qi army soldiers, different from yesterday, the current Tongguan outside the flag is dense, Qi soldiers are divided into several squares, is neatly advancing.

Although Wang Dong took the first trip yesterday, he also knew that this was not the main force of the Qi army, at best, it was just the defense of the state capital, and it was all new recruits who had not been in battle, so there was no need to be complacent.

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Wang Zheng hurriedly took a knife to the city, and after a closer look, his face sank at that time.

The soldiers of the Qi army who came this time looked completely different from the new recruits yesterday, Wang Dong carefully observed for a while, and found that the soldiers who were arrayed outside the pass changed their formations very quickly.

Not only that, but the generals at the head of each phalanx were all tigers, as if they knew the range of the artillery of the Dashun army guarding the pass, and they did not move when they walked just outside the firing distance of the defenders' guns.

Seeing this, Wang Dong muttered:

"The name of the Qi army as a strong army in the world, if it is true, almost all of these people in the city are battle-hardened, and it is difficult to ——! them if they want to repel them."

The Dashun army is not like the Qi army, it does not have a complete military equipment system, and it does not have a strict logistics transportation line, and even the most basic salary of the soldiers is distributed with the income of the wealthy.

Those old soldiers who had followed Li Zicheng for many years in the southern expedition and the northern war were basically all trapped in the north and Zhili at present, unable to advance, and unable to retreat for a while.

The combat power of the Dashun army left behind in various places is not strong, and most of the original Ming army directly changed the deputy flag, changed into a suit of clothes, and changed from the imperial court officers and soldiers to the Dashun soldiers.

These miscellaneous soldiers used the weapons and equipment they had snatched from the original Ming army, or simply used the weapons they had before they surrendered to the Dashun army, and at this time, the longest-range and most powerful guns on the Guancheng were only eight Shenwei general cannons.

Just these few are still transported over in the year of Wanli, Sun Chuanting encountered the same problem when he guarded Tongguan, although these Shenwei general cannons are powerful, but they are old, and they should have been repaired and replaced by the Beijing division a long time ago.

The rest are mostly large and small copper and iron cannons, the range is not far, and the power is not high, in addition, they are mostly wearing the inner armor of the original Ming army, holding the shoddy knives and guns of the guard, but wearing a pullover printed with Dashun on the outer coat.

The Qi army outside the pass was different, and it was all brand new equipment from top to bottom.

There are not many types of artillery, but they all have a clear division of labor, for example, in addition to a dozen Hongyi cannons used to siege the city, there are seven or eight seven-pounder cannons specially used to destroy the front, and more than 30 small and medium-sized Franc machines are used for conversion operations, etc.

For each gun, there is a special gunner who is responsible for maintenance, firing, reloading, etc., if something goes wrong. Generally, it can be found in front of the station, so that the military war bureau can repair and replace it in time.

The cavalry of the Qi army roared past under the city of Tongguan, carrying the handsome flag of the word "king" in their hands, and kept shouting:

"The surname of the country is King Qi, unify the south of the Yangtze River, Keding Yanjing, and recover the northern country!"

"King Qi is benevolent and righteous, only the first thief will be punished, and the rest can be used on the basis of merit!"

Both sides understood that after Liu Guoneng led the main force of the Qi army to arrive, the offensive and defensive battle in Tongguan could be regarded as the real beginning.

In fact, Liu Guoneng and Chen Yongfu thought of going together, and the blockade of Tongguan was obviously not the ultimate goal, what they wanted was for the flag of the Qi army to flutter on the city.

At this moment of changing the dynasty, the first-class merit is obviously the most effective way to make the king worship the general, the wife and the son, and strive for the welfare of future generations.

Tongguan is actually not just a pass in front of them, but also a future prospect.

However, it is very surprising that on this day, the Dashun soldiers and horses in the city are quite stable, and it is said that tens of thousands of reinforcements have also been transferred from Shaanxi, but no matter how the Qi army lures outside the city, it is closed.

The walls of this Tongguan are so deep that even the Hongyi cannon is difficult to blast open in a short period of time.

Late at night, Liu Guoneng sat in the first place with a frown, Chen Yongfu sat on the lower left, and the rest of the generals of the Henan Army sat in the tent to discuss matters and constantly make suggestions.

"If you keep bombarding the city with Hongyi, how long will it take for the city to collapse at the earliest?"

Hearing Chen Yongfu's question, the clerk of the baggage battalion came out and gave a solemn military salute first, which is what he said:

"Lord General, if you die a little, Half Moon can break a corner."

Liu Guoneng frowned deeper: "This is too slow." ”

Chen Yongfu nodded, hammered the table and said:

"Tongguan is not encircled by the siege alone, after the King of Qi solves the problem of Tartar and Li Zicheng, sooner or later he will go south, our Henan army wants to be ashamed of the snow, and I Chen Yongfu want to be ashamed of the snow, so we must take down Tongguan!"

After saying this, in fact, many people scoffed, and said in their hearts, you Chen Yongfu made out the basin on the heads of everyone in the Henan Army, and he was really embarrassed to say it.

However, most people can only think about it in their hearts, after all, Chen Yongfu is the first commander-in-chief to return to the King of Qi, and his prestige is still very high.

Last year, Chen Yongfu did not hesitate to make use of his previous connections to go everywhere for the recruitment and surrender of officials and troops in various places, and made great contributions to pacifying Henan and Huguang.

At present, he is the chief general of a government, and even if he is not a general in the future, he will at least be a provincial deputy general.

Yuan Shizhong sat at the bottom of the head, wearing the armor of the deputy general of the Fengyang Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Qi army, got up and said:

"This blockade of Shaanxi, our Fengyang soldiers also dispatched more than 10,000 people, how to fight, all listen to the deployment of General Liu, in the past was bewitched by thieves, once in the enemy camp, the rest is inconvenient to talk about."

When he had finished speaking, he sat down with a military salute.

Liu Guoneng laughed and said:

"Vice General Yuan is out of sight, if you want to say that, Ben Jiang used to be one of the leaders of the Rongyang Conference, but now he is also serving under the command of King Qi?"

Speaking of this, Liu Guoneng squeaked his fists and said hatefully:

"If only these thieves could come out on their own, it would be easy."

Yuan Shizhong nodded, in fact, he liked the current environment very much, which was much more reliable than the nondescript and indiscriminate so-called generals in the past.

Since coming to Qi Jun, Yuan Shizhong knew that Dashun was completely playing at home.

Not to mention the chaotic military system of Dashun, even what Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, said is not a word, when you want to abide by it, you will abide by it, and when you don't want to comply with it, you will scoff at it, so what else is there to talk about changing the dynasty?

The upper and lower levels of the Qi army are clearly distinguished, everyone is not afraid of life and death, and the upper and lower levels are naturally respectful and humble, and I have never heard of anyone who has a complaint against the king of Qi.

No matter what others think, what Wang Zheng said is a military order, and this is called a real strong army.

The military tent was deliberating, but suddenly heard some chaotic voices coming in the distance, the originally orderly night patrol immediately increased several times, and without Liu Yongfu's order, the cavalry team in charge of the night patrol sent a team of people to check the source.

After a short time, a soldier of the Qi army ran back, saluted and said:

"Report to the generals, the thieves went out of the city to attack at night, and now they are engaged in battle with the night patrol!"

Hearing this, Liu Guoneng slapped his thigh excitedly, and his heart was really thinking about something, night attack, this is indeed in line with the urine nature of the gang of thieves who broke into the camp.

"General, what should I do?"

Someone asked out loud, Liu Guoneng pulled out his knife, got up and said loudly:

"What else can I do, give these thieves to Lao Tzu, take Tongguan at night, and strengthen my Qi army!"

The generals suddenly agreed, and turned around and went out of the tent.

Not long after, the originally quiet Qi army camp suddenly became shouting and neighing, chaotic footsteps ran in all directions, and cavalry with big swords in hand roared into the night.
