Chapter 322: Gubeikou

Although it was the season of spring flowers, it was still a little cold in the mountains, and the difficult night finally passed.

In the midst of the noise, Fu Lin, the first emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, woke up, and Fu Lin, who had endured it for a long time, finally asked: "Eniang, we want to go back to the customs?" Isn't Yanjing very good? There are spacious palaces, there are also those flowers and plants, there are a lot of delicious food, and it is not very cold, we weishenme want to go back to Shengjing? ”

Empress Xiaozhuang Wen Bumu Butai reached out and grabbed Fu Lin's little hand: "Didn't Mr. Fan say it?" You are the emperor, don't open your mouth casually, everything is decided by the regent. ”

Mr. Fan is naturally talking about Fan Wencheng, although this Fan Wencheng belongs to the Han culture, but he is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the little emperor Fulin has actually been educated and influenced by him, Bumu Butai is really helpless to take him out at this time, she can't say that we are running away, the Qing Dynasty has faced disintegration.

After all, a child is a child, and the little emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Fulin, has never understood what happened, but with Eniang by his side, his uncle and regent, and Mr. Fan by his side, he doesn't need to worry about these things, it's just a curiosity.

Mother and son chatted casually, and breakfast began.

In fact, there was nothing to eat, just some dry food, dried meat and some hot water that they brought, this is the treatment of the emperor and empress, which is naturally far from being comparable to in the Yanjing Palace.

Many people who have adapted to life in Beijing began to complain about this treatment, the nobles were not adaptable, but the soldiers of Jianzhou did not care, such conditions were commonplace for them, and it was enough to be able to replenish their physical strength.

There were a lot of soldiers gathered around Dolgon, nearly 20,000 Jianzhou and Mongol cavalry, plus a small number of Eight Banners Han Army foot soldiers and a large number of Jianzhou soldiers, as well as those officials and family members, this team was more than 30,000. Of course, Dolgon did not abandon the famous former Ming officials, who will still be useful in the future. For example, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, Hong Chengchou, Feng Quan and others.

Time does not wait for me, it will be safer to get out of the customs as soon as possible, the soldiers who have eaten first began to move, and then a large number of people finally began to move in the chaos.

At this time, Zilharang, who was in charge of blocking the Ming army, finally caught up.

The Great Wall of Gubeikou was built on top of the Yanshan Mountains, a majestic structure that stretches along the mountain.

The Yanshan Mountains are an important barrier in the northern part of the North China Plain, and are the only places for the Mongolian Plateau and Northeast China to enter the North China Plain. Mongolian Genghis Khan six to ten years, Genghis Khan's three sieges of Beijing when the main force is over the Yanshan Mountains, with Fengli (west of Zhangbei County), Xuande (Xuanhua), Juyongguan and Gubeikou, Shanzhou (Miyun), Shunzhou (Shunyi) as the main offensive routes. By the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols had taken these routes back. The people of Jianzhou are no exception. The same is true for repeated entry, and the current escape will of course take this route.

Kyoto's Sukekey Mountain is steep and dangerous, and there are trails along the way, although it is Kannai, but it is not easy to walk.

Near noon, the soldiers of the Eight Banners finally approached Gubeikou.

Gubeikou Pass is built across the mountain, and its city is built on the top of the mountain, rising and falling with the mountain, meandering. It is presented as an irregular polygonal shape and is likened to a bird's nest. Tang Shunzhi, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem and said: "All cities are in the col of the mountain, and this city crowns the mountain as a bird's nest." At this point, it makes people think fiercely, and the sky is thousands of miles high. ”

That's the ups and downs. The Gubeikou, where the enemy buildings are dense, is an obstacle that the nobles of the Qing Dynasty think are zuihou.

There are many people on the Great Wall, and it seems that the number of defenders of the Ming army is not small.

The narrow mountain road was full of people, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners were gathering. These men are the bravest and most loyal warriors, and the Ao Bai who is responsible for today's siege is silently preparing. There is no need to boost morale now, life and death are at this moment. Everyone knows that the chasing soldiers of the Ming army behind are about to come up, and everyone will die here if they can't cross the Great Wall, and death is inevitable.

The ladder had already been prepared, and the soldiers were eating what might have been their own lunch in silence.

The strongest and most majestic section of the Great Wall of Gubeikou is the Balouzi Great Wall, the Huangyugou Great Wall, the Wohushan Great Wall, the Wanshoushan Great Wall, the Panlongshan Great Wall, the Wulitu Great Wall, the Jinshanling Great Wall and the Simatai Great Wall. On the line of the Great Wall that is 80 miles long, there are 172 beacon towers of enemy towers, 14 chimney piers, and 16 passes have been established; three water gates, six gates, and three urn cities; There are also many guards, offices, and forts distributed on the periphery. The section of the Great Wall of Wohu Mountain also has a sister building of the Great Wall, which is rare in the history of the Great Wall; There is the Great Wall of Shuiguan, which spans the longest span in the history of the Great Wall.

This will be the most tragic siege battle, because the Great Wall of Gubeikou is not counted as a pass after passing a wall. The southernmost Great Wall of the Great Wall is the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty is located in the south of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and the total length of the Great Wall from the West Eighth Building to the East Simatai Great Wall is 40 miles, constituting the second military defense line of the Gubeikou to the outside world. And for the Qing army that was about to flee to the outside of the pass, this was the first line of defense that had to be taken.

In the eleventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the founding general Xu Da to rebuild the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty when he built the ancient Beikou Pass, set up the east, south and north three gates to defend, and built stones on the basis of the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty to enhance the defense capability of the Great Wall. When Qi Jiguang repaired the Great Wall in Gubeikou, he retained the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty and pasted the Great Wall bricks outside the wall, forming the famous double Great Wall of Gubeikou, and there are seven famous passes, which have played an important role in protection and protection in history. Now, these barriers have once again become obstacles to the escape of the Qing warriors.

"Let's go!" Ao Bai snorted, he chose a section of the Great Wall south of Gubeikou, because the mountains here are lower than the Guancheng of Gubeikou, and the slope is smaller.

The choice of the Qing army was expected, and Yu Dahu and Weng Zhiqi were waiting on this section of the Great Wall.

From a distance, it can be seen that the Qing army holding the ladder is very separated, and these barbarians have become much smarter, and they also know that they will definitely be baptized by artillery fire, and they already know how to reduce their casualties in this situation.

"Within two miles! Let's shoot! The Qing army was approaching, and Weng Zhiqi looked at Yu Dahu.

"It's just killing, in fact, it's the same even if you get closer!" Having said that, Yu Dahu still followed Weng Zhiqi's opinion: "Come on! Let me fire a few shots and hear the sound first! ”

There weren't many gunners on the city walls, even if they weren't many, and it was too easy for these battle-tested and condescending gunners.

The sound of artillery and explosions began to echo in the mountains, and the sound was heard far, far away

It is to be expected that explosions will always bring casualties, and in such an environment, the explosive power of artillery is undoubtedly magnified, and the debris and shrapnel caused by the explosion are deadly. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty could not avoid it in this environment, and many people were helplessly hit, and the consequences of hitting were very serious.

As a commander, of course Ao Bai will not take the lead, and he will not do this kind of lifeless thing himself. Ao Bai was supervising the battle in the rear, and at the same time observing the defense of the Ming army. The long-echoing cannon sound was very loud in the mountains, and among the casualties, the follow-up soldiers of the Qing army continued to follow bravely. And the explosion of artillery fire seems to have not changed much, and there should not be many artillery pieces of the Ming army, which makes Ao Bai breathe a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
