Under the fury of Duoduo, the artillery of the Qing army began to fire desperately, and the already ravaged Tongguan city was once again bombed by overwhelming shells.

"My lord, this is not a way, although now we rely on grenades, so that those Qing troops can not come up, but we can't just stand up by the enemy with cannons, as the saying goes, if you hold for a long time, you will lose, although the city wall of Tongguan City is very strong, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, or, at night, my subordinates will take people to the Qing army camp and blow up those artillery." Hiding behind the city wall, Liu Roll suddenly said with some unwillingness.

Compared with Liu Luan's unwillingness, Shi Lei had a smile on his face, and while gently patting the dust on his body, he said, "Hahaha, don't worry, although we suffer more in this way, but the Qing army on the opposite side is even more uncomfortable, you should have seen it just now, just that round of attacks, thousands of Qing troops were knocked down by us, such heavy casualties, do you say that Duoduo, the leading general, can feel comfortable, you still don't let people vent."

What's more, the thousands of people killed in this battle are real Manchus, you know, the total population of Manchu people, Manchu is less than a million, and there are less than 100,000 people who can fight, it can be said that Manchu people are one less than one to die, and we Han people are endless, therefore, if you can maintain such a war situation all the time, it is also good, as for the kind of meat bun beating dogs, you don't have to think about it, or stay in the city safely, think about how to retreat from the enemy! ”

After Shi Lei's words were finished, the artillery bombardment of the Qing army also stopped, after all, the artillery at this time. It's not like the artillery of later generations, it can be fired all the time, because of technical reasons, most of the current artillery has to stop firing fifty or sixty shells, otherwise. It will be because the barrel is overheated, and the bore will be blown up, in addition, the red-coated cannon here is not purchased from Francois and other countries, but the Qing army imitated the craftsmen who plundered the past from the Ming Dynasty, although the skills of these craftsmen are not bad, but unfortunately the steel quality of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is too poor, therefore, the cast artillery. They all fired less than fifty shells, and the barrel of the cannon could scald eggs, so the Manchus were reluctant to use artillery except for the general attack on the city.

Although the shelling stopped, the large amount of smoke produced by the black gunpowder still made the entire Qing army camp pass through the smoke as if it were in a fairyland. Seeing the tattered situation at the head of Tongguan City bombarded by cannons, the anger in Duoduo's heart finally eased somewhat. But even so, Duoduo felt a pang of helplessness and heartache.

The heartache is that nearly a thousand Eight Banners warriors who can fight well died here so tragically, and I don't know how long it will take to fill this gap, and the helpless is indeed because, he never thought that he would attack the invincible Manchu Eight Banners army. One day it will be difficult to live by a small Tongguan, although the former Shanhaiguan has blocked the Manchu army for many years, but behind the Shanhaiguan there is the entire Ming court to support, otherwise, they would have beaten down the Shanhaiguan a long time ago. And what is there in Tongguan City, a group of unknown people who have never heard of it at all, actually resisted the attack of the elite army led by him Duoduo so stubbornly, not only resisted, but also made him suffer heavy losses, how could he not feel heartache, and even for a moment, Duoduo even had the idea of retiring from the army, but this idea was quickly thrown aside by him.

"You all think about it, what is the way to be able to conquer Tongguan City, as long as you think of a way, after this king returns to the dynasty, he will definitely show the regent and give you an official and a knight." Sitting in the big tent, Duoduo said in a heavy voice, and the atmosphere in the whole tent was also very silent, all the generals present knew that this time there were so many soldiers killed and wounded, Duoduo would definitely not be happy in his heart, who would be the first bird at this time.

Hearing Duoduo say the words of adding officials to the knighthood, all the generals were excited, at this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty still paid great attention to the military industry, and the requirements for promotion were also very strict, if you want to be promoted to the knighthood, there is only one way, that is, to make military achievements on the battlefield, and this is also the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to rise rapidly in just a few decades.

Although everyone wants to add officials to the knights, but when they think of this difficult time, there is still silence in the big tent, and the reason why this is so is because from the beginning of the rise of the Manchus, most of all wars are field battles, and even if there are siege battles, they are only carried out after annihilating most of the enemy's living forces.

If you want them to charge with their soldiers, I'm afraid they won't hesitate, but in the face of siege, especially a city like Xiangtongguan, where the terrain is dangerous, and there are grenades like a sharp weapon, it is not something they can think of at all.

Seeing the silence in the big tent, all the generals were silent, Duoduo was helpless for a while, thinking about the past, whenever there was a war, his generals asked for battle, and even fought with each other for this, but now, Duoduo had no other way but a sigh.

"Lord, if you want to defeat Tongguan, it's not that there is no way, but if you use this method, your subordinates are afraid that the prince will not be able to explain to the regent at that time." Just when everyone was at a loss, a voice came out of one person's mouth so faintly.

"Oh, what a way, say it quickly, say it quickly, now our priority is to break through the Tong Pass and then kill Hongguang Xiao'er, as for how to explain to the regent, it will be a matter for the future, as long as we can win the battle, then this king believes that the regent will not be too harsh on us." Originally, Duoduo was ready to give up attacking Tongguan, and when he had the idea of going around from elsewhere to attacking Shaanxi, when he heard this kind of proposal, he immediately felt ecstatic in his heart, as for the consequences, it was not something he had to think about at all, he believed that as long as he could win the battle, everything else would not be a problem.

Affirmed by Duoduo, the person who put forward the opinion, that is, Ao Bai, opened his mouth and continued, "Lord Wang, in fact, it is not difficult to capture Tongguan, you can still remember that when we followed Tiancong Khan to enter the customs for the first time, we could not attack Bo County for a long time, and then, Tiancong Khan only used one strategy, and easily defeated Bo County without a single soldier." ”

Hearing Aobai's words, the slightly older people here all thought of what happened back then, and then everyone couldn't help laughing. As for what method was used by Emperor Taiji of Tiancong Khan, it was actually very simple, and it was also the most commonly used method in the war between the two countries in ancient times, that is, the invading side, in the face of some fortified cities or big cities, in order to reduce their own losses, they drove some local people around, so that these people who had no combat effectiveness filled the road for the invaders, so as to take the opportunity to kill into the city.

In the face of this situation, most of the time, the officers and soldiers defending the city will make mistakes because they are unbearable, even if they can be ruthless and kill these people, it will also cause huge losses to the morale of the soldiers defending the city, which is also the most practical and most damaging method of attacking the city in ancient times.

"Yes, good, great, why did you say that this king didn't think of this method, Aobai, this method is very good, if you can successfully defeat Tongguan this time and cut off Hongguang Xiaoer's head, you are the first merit of this war, this king will definitely play the regent, and reward you well." Hearing this method of worship, Duoduo not only did not feel uncomfortable, but praised him with a loud laugh.

And most of the other generals in the big tent looked at Aobai with red eyes, they knew that as long as Aobai could win a big victory this time, then the addition of officials to the knighthood was just around the corner, thinking of such a simple strategy, they didn't expect that many Manchurian generals regretted the abnormality.

Seeing the reaction of everyone in the big tent, Duoduo's heart was also relaxed, and then he said, "Okay, okay, don't think too much, as long as you can win a big victory this time, this king will definitely treat you well, now, you should all know what to do, from tomorrow, except for the 10,000 army here, all the rest of the people will go out for me to drive the people, as long as it is a Han person, they will bring me over, how many people to bring, I don't believe that the guards in the city, seeing so many people, can be indifferent." ”

That night, in the camp of the Qing army, there was a celebration, although they suffered heavy losses in the battle during the day, but with the method proposed by Aobai, Duoduo was in a good mood, and actually rewarded the three armies rarely, in addition to meat, each person also had a pot of wine, just when everyone was celebrating, no one had to notice, a black shadow was quietly limping outside from the Qing army camp.

Through the dim firelight, it is faintly visible that the person who escaped is the unlucky guy Zakudu, to say that Zakudu is indeed unlucky, because of the white horse matter, he was beaten by Doltai, and later saw that in the face of his sister, he finally let him go, but what he didn't expect was that yesterday Doltai in order to vent his anger, automatically asked Ying to attack Tongguan as a striker.

Originally, with Doltai's outstretched hand and the guards of Goshha beside him, there should be no accident, but I didn't expect that the Ming army actually had a sharp weapon like a grenade.

Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a slave system, in the early days of its establishment, Nurhachi formulated a system, that is, if the master of Goshha who guards the master dies and he is alive, then after he returns, he will be hacked to death on the spot, and the whole family will be reduced to slavery, and although Zakudu came by relying on his sister's pillow wind, it is indeed Doltai's Goshha in name, and now that Doltai is dead, what will happen to Zaku.

But after coming back this time, because of the defeat of the whole army, for the time being, those big men forgot about it, and Zakudu, who got the news, was so scared that he almost peed his pants at the beginning, and later, after being afraid, he also sobered up, knowing that it was useless to be afraid, and he was also a little clever, thinking that if he died like this, it would be better to escape, as soon as this idea was born, it was like the river that burst the embankment, and he couldn't help it anymore, and he finally came to the bitter end, and he happened to celebrate in the Qing army camp tonight, The guards were also a little lax, and just gave him a chance to escape.
