Chapter 312: Hitting a Stone with an Egg

After a brief discussion, Wu Yun led 20,000 soldiers to personally rush to Shanhaiguan, while Zheng Sen's uncle and nephew, Weng Zhiqi and Yu Dahu were responsible for leading the rest of the army along the Great Wall to the northwest, where they were to take the Hanmen Pass, and the subsequent target was naturally the Great Wall on the first line of Gubeikou, Xifengkou and Yanqingzhou.

After Wu Sangui surrendered and defeated Li Zicheng in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army set up the general army of Shanhaiguan Town in Shanhaiguan, and the Taitou battalion assisted in garrisoning the deputy general Shanhaiguan Road, Shimenzhai Road, and Yanheying Road.

The chief soldier stationed at Shanhaiguan is Fuketa, and Fuketa is also an old man, he is Meile Zhangjing during the Huang Taiji period, and this Meile Zhangjing is actually equivalent to the deputy general soldier in the Ming army system. To be able to do the position of Mel Zhangjing, Fuketa is actually Huang Taiji's cronies, but with the death of Huang Taiji, there are constant disputes within the Eight Banners, and Fuketa's age is also increasing, and he, a veteran with outstanding military achievements, stepped aside, and was actually sent to garrison Shanhaiguan in the rear.

Fuketa is equivalent to being idle, not to mention the strength of Shanhaiguan, and the supply is also intermittent, and if you want to gallop across the country as before to obtain military merits and wealth, slaves, don't even think about it. Shanhaiguan is not famous, but now there is no chance to fight, and it belongs to the poor countryside, there is no rich land nearby, those poor people of the Ming Dynasty almost starved to death, and Fuketa had no place to rob it, which made him depressed to death.

There were too few soldiers under Fuketa, and they were weak. It was also Zhou Huchen's winter use of troops that caused the extreme dispersion of the Qing army's forces, except for the various passes and beacon piers to guard, Shanhaiguan, a vital Xiongguan, actually did not have many troops stationed. In addition to the old and weak who were sent out to guard the beacon piers and passes in various places, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers under Fuketa, and these soldiers were all young, old and depressed, and Fuketa did not dare to think about it.

The Great Wall of Jiaoshan is only six miles away from Shanhaiguan, when the police signal came out, the distance of six miles became a competition for time, and the Qing army stationed on the Great Wall found that the later the Ming army was closer to Shanhaiguan. There are many beacon piers on the rolling Great Wall, and the most important function of these beacon piers is to warn them, and it is impossible for the 20,000 people who spread on the Great Wall not to be discovered. But the Qing army was indeed limited in number, and it was too careless, and after Wu Yun led the soldiers to advance east along the Great Wall for a full two miles, the beacon tower of the Great Wall on the east side of Shanhaiguan finally emitted a thick smoke of warning.

Fuketa, who had been depressed, had passed the age of being interested in women, and he was now fond of something that would make him flutter and forget all his troubles.

Spirits are the beloved of the northern peoples, and they used to be difficult to obtain outside the customs, and they were also very rare, and only those dignitaries had the opportunity to get some tastes. With the entry of the Qing Dynasty, it became easier and easier to obtain spirits. Fuketa finally had a chance. The former warrior has lost his fighting spirit, he can eat with spirits all day and wait until he dies, Fuketa had fantasized about such a day before, it would be unpleasant to have wine all day long, and now his long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled.

"My lord, my lord, the Ming army is coming, you hurry up and gather people to stop it!" In a drunken and hazy state, Fuketa got the news that the Ming army was coming. This made him sober up a little: "Come on, prepare your horse to meet the enemy!" ”

"My lord, the enemy army is attacking along the Great Wall, and there is no need for horses!" The subordinates who came to report were helpless. The most courageous general of Jianzhou in the past is already old and confused, except for eating and waiting for death, he is soaked in wine.

Shaking his head, Fuketa finally came to his senses: "Give me armor~ How many people are in these Ming troops?" ”

"A lot. I don't know how many, but I came along the Great Wall on the north side, and it seems that there are no less than 10,000 people! ”

10,000 people How is this possible? How could the Ming army come to Shanhaiguan along the Great Wall on the north side? If it is said that the head of the Ming army sneaked up on the old dragon head at sea successfully. Coming along the Great Wall and talking about the past, this comes from the north, is it possible that the Great Wall on the north side of the Jingshi has been lost? Could it be that the Qing Kingdom was completely defeated? Falling apart?

As a veteran in the army, Fuketa knows that the Ming army has recently produced a pair of Zhou Yuji father and son who can fight and are accustomed to fighting, and also knows that the Ming army's troops are now very prosperous, and after the Northern Expedition began, the Qing Dynasty suffered a lot of defeats, but the Qing Dynasty does not seem to be vulnerable to this point! The Ming army came along the Great Wall without any prior news, which was so strange that Fuketa was puzzled.

The Great Wall of Shanhaiguan Beijiao Mountain is just the boundary of the two important military towns of Liaodong Town and Jizhen in the Ming Dynasty, and there are enemy platforms, battle platforms, and a pass on the Great Wall. This pass is the northern wing of Shanhaiguan, two miles away from Shanhaiguan, when Fuketa rushed to the northern wing of the city, Wu Yun led his army to also arrive.

Standing on the enemy platform and looking at it, the Ming army is swarming along the Great Wall, not only 10,000, I'm afraid there are no less than 20,000! Funketa is experienced in combat, and he knows that he cannot show weakness in this situation, let alone retreat.

"Shieldmen, archers in line!" Fuketa decisively stepped down from the enemy's platform.

When the two armies meet, the old-school way of fighting is to attack and defend, that is to say, on this narrow Great Wall, Fuketa wants to compete with the Ming army for every inch of the Great Wall, and he wants to use the bravery of the Jianzhou people to let these Ming soldiers know the bravery of the Jianzhou warriors, let them know the fearlessness of the Qing warriors, and let these Ming troops who do not know the height of the sky pay the price of their lives.

Combat must have a combat concept, and Wu Yun's combat concept is the same as Zhou Huchen's -- to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest losses.

Many soldiers followed the ranks with small cannons, which Fuketa had never seen, and it was a tragedy not to see them, because he did not know that the shells would explode.

Funketa has a lot of combat experience, he has been galloping for many years, and it can be said that he has an understanding of artillery. The Great Wall is very narrow, and the Ming army suffers a lot if it has artillery, but he has a way, and this method has been tried and tested repeatedly by the previous Ming army: "Rush up and scatter them for me." ”

What about a lot of people? The Ming army has always been a model of failure to fight more and less, and it is also a model of not being able to fight a tough battle, although the uniforms of these Ming troops look a little different from the previous Ming army, but Fuketa does not think that an army can change its combat capability in such a short time. Hand-to-hand combat is the strength of the Jianzhou people, and they have always been feared for this kind of battle, as for the Ming army, it is estimated that it will be crushed with just one impact.

Mortars are installed and loaded quickly, firing faster, and projectiles whizz.

Although the enemy has artillery, but as the most powerful Jianzhou warriors, Fuketa has experienced a hundred battles, retreating and avoiding battle is not in the concept of Fuketa, the Qing warriors are never afraid of battle, with Fuketa's order issued, Jianzhou warriors rushed up.

It was an attack with an egg on a stone, and he had never seen the power of a mortar, but when he saw the power of a mortar, the experienced Fuketa was surpassed by the times, and he also surpassed his life

The sound of cannons echoed over the Great Wall, and this thunderclap-like sound told the sense of transcendence of its own times, as well as the bravery and decline of the enemy

There is no precedent for attacking Shanhaiguan by sea, and Zhou Huchen once again had an accident, and this accident is undoubtedly equivalent to urging the Qing army.

Shanhaiguan is lost! The entire Great Wall of the North is lost!

The news of the loss of Shanhaiguan and the Great Wall spread quickly, and this news made the entire northern capital fall into a complete panic, of course, this panic was for all the Jianzhou people and those old Han soldiers from outside the Guan, including those vassals of the Jianzhou people - the Mongols and the traitors who were on the traitor spectrum.
