At the same time as Zhang Zhongmou launched the fox hunt operation, the war with Jiannu also began.

A month ago, He Shouguang trained the army troops, and when the blood was in order, they set out for Shanguan.

But! He Shouguang did not immediately attack, but built a military fortress here, and according to the supreme instructions of the military and government, it was necessary to ensure the safety and stability of the last line of defense. A large number of military vehicles transported large quantities of military supplies to ensure the supply of the front line. He Shouguang dug a lot of air-raid shelters here as military warehouses to ensure the safety and moisture of materials. A large number of troops built model houses here to provide enough rest, enough sleep, and of course the training never stopped. And with such fanfare. Naturally, Huang Taiji was alarmed.

A few years ago, Huang Taiji finally cleaned up the tribes and unified the Houjin, with the country name Qing, referred to as the Qing Dynasty. He was already more than fifty years old, and he was trying to recuperate and recuperate, and he was surprised by the information he got from Shanhaiguan. Although he was prepared, judging from the situation in various parts of the Central Plains over the years, he got a message, that is, Da Ming is no longer a tattered dynasty that can be bullied at any time, and has the strength to make him jealous.

Today, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are gathering in Shanhaiguan, obviously wanting to start a war. For this warlike people, war is not terrible. What scared Huang Taiji was that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and he was still too weak. And the war years ago made him consume a lot.

The next day! In the early dynasty, after a period of ceremonial worship.

Huang Taiji said: "All Aiqing, please get up."

The eunuch on the side shouted: "Something to start, nothing to retreat."

As the commander of millions of troops, the veteran marshal Dol Roll, stepped forward and said: "The minister has something to do.

Huang Taiji said: "Aiqing, please speak."

Doll rolled: "A few days ago, Daming gathered 400,000 troops, gathered at Shanhaiguan, and looked at our Daqing Dynasty, and did not voluntarily ask for war to remove the current threat.

The secretary of the Ministry of War, Angel said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, the war of the year ago consumed a lot of combat power of our dynasty, and it is really unwise to take the initiative to provoke at this time, please think twice before acting."

Huang Taiji said: "An Aiqing is reasonable.

He stepped forward and said in a rough voice: "The old minister is also willing to ask for war, that Da Ming Xiao'er, it's just like that, as long as the emperor gives me 300,000 elite soldiers, they will definitely have no return."

Hubu Shangshu Qi Qiglu said: "General Boiling must not be careless, the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the Zhu family's government. I don't know how many times the strength is greater than before.

He said rudely: "You are growing the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige, and you are still a disciple of the full flag."

Qi Qi Geru said: "What does this mean by boiling general."

He said rudely: "Useless weak man."

Qizigru said: "Who do you say is the weak husband?"

He said rudely: "This is what General Ben is talking about."

Huang Taiji said angrily: "Okay, don't quarrel, the hall is noisy, what kind of system."

The two were stopped and shut up, but their eyes glared at each other unconvinced.

Huang Taiji said again: "Prince Duo, what do you think."

Doer rolled and said: "Since our dynasty has consumed a lot, but the enemy army is large, we must guard against it, and the minister thinks that we should send elite soldiers and strong generals to Jinzhou to guard in case there is a change."

Huang Taiji said: "Prince Duo is reasonable.

Doll rolled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Jinzhou to guard Jinzhou."

Huang Taiji said happily: "Very good, Prince Duo is the general of the expedition to the south, guarding Jinzhou, and everything is handled by himself."

Dole rolled, "Huh!

5 days later, Shanhaiguan, temporary operational command.

He Shouguang received a battle report, which reads as follows:

Dol rolled with 450,000 elite soldiers to guard the defense line around Jinzhou and Chaoyang, and Hulu Island was guarded by the defender Anjige, with about 100,000 troops.

Tong Ming said: "This area to the north is all plains, and there is no commanding height, so it is difficult for us to have an advantage.

Su Xiaoguang said: "According to reliable intelligence, the enemy uses muskets in the whole series, although the range is inferior to ours. But don't be underestimated!

Xu Tianhu said: "That's right, in addition to muskets, there are also cannons, and the range is not short, at least 800 meters." Once we get close to the walls, the casualties are bound to increase.

Zheng Xiaoyuan said: "In addition, there is also a kind of arrow cannon.

Su Xiaoguang said: "What is this?"

Zheng Xiaoyuan said: "This kind of thing is inconspicuous, it is to tie explosives under the arrows, shoot arrows through the pulley crew, and explode as soon as they hit the ground, because they are easy to make." It can be used on a large scale, and it is necessary to prevent it.

Xu Tianhu said: "I can't imagine that the Qing people are so smart, and they can think of such a simple and cheap thermal weapon."

Su Xiaoguang said: "So our chairman said, never underestimate the enemy, otherwise you will always be the one who suffers."

Tong Ming said: "Actually, these are not because they are smart, but they robbed the students on our side to have today's scale." If it weren't for the chairman's kindness, they would have been cleaned up a long time ago, and they wouldn't have waited until today.

He Shouguang frowned and said, "If you want to take out Huludao quickly, you can only use the flight group to blow up the Shenwu cannon at the head of the city to minimize the damage."

Xu Tianhu said: "Didn't the chairman say that it is better to use less such heavy weapons?

Tong Ming said: "With the topography of Huludao, if we attack strongly, the casualties will be not small, if we use the flying brigade to bomb, not only can we reduce casualties, but also quickly occupy Huludao." Really forced Jinzhou, Chaoyang around the defense line.

He Shouguang said: "Counselor Tong is right, now it is forced by attachment, and the lives of the brothers are precious, and we can't risk it."

Zheng Xiaoyuan said: "That's right, I agree with Commander He's approach.

Xu Tianhu said: "Then I have no opinion."

He Shouguang looked at the brothers who passed unanimously, and then said: "Our combat readiness, how well we are prepared.

The Minister of Logistics, who has not spoken, Yan Qiming, said: "Except for some of the armaments that are not in place, they are basically completed."

He Shouguang said: "Minister Yan, you immediately contact the Shandong headquarters and bring in construction materials."

Yan Qiming said: "Commander He, what is this for?"

He Shouguang said: "I believe we can take Huludao soon, but the military defense must keep up, and the road must also be repaired."

Yan Qiming said: "Okay! I'm going to generate electricity right away.

He Shouguang said: "Since the General Staff unanimously approved this plan. Over the next three days, we need to devise an offensive plan to ensure that nothing is left out and that the enemy is completely destroyed.

On the morning of the fourth day, He Shouguang went to Chaoyang Mansion in two ways according to the row, sweeping along the road.

All the way to Huludao, the soldiers are in the city, and the air force brigade is pressing. Anjige, who was still asleep, was woken up by a burst of artillery fire. Busy getting dressed and going out to see the situation.

The guards guarding the city, listening to the roar of the planes, did not understand what was going on, and the end was a large iron rod falling from the sky, and then the explosions were repeated, and the artillery on the city wall was blown apart, and the body was completely destroyed. Then the machine guns on the edge of the trenches were also destroyed.

Su Xiaoguang looked at it with his glasses, the situation was almost over, and shouted: "Brothers, rush me!"

A battle has begun. Then, after the city gates were bombarded by field artillery, the convoys poured into the city like a flood that had broken the battle.

Unexpectedly, Anjige was not good at stubble, and ambushed the gunmen in the city to ambush them.

As soon as the convoy entered, it lost dozens of brothers.

Su Xiaoguang hurriedly asked people to withdraw and ordered air fire support.

An hour later, Anjige was shot in the head by sniper Liu Jiaping, and the Qing soldiers saw that the main general was dead, so they stopped fighting again.

Under the propaganda of Su Xiaoguang's policy, they came out one after another, raised their hands and surrendered.

The same battle started in Chaoyang, but the process was even more difficult than Huludao.

Ten days later, a battle report was placed on He Shouguang's desk. This battle was the biggest loss in the history of the guard.

More than 5,000 were killed or wounded, and 2,000 brothers were never able to return home. For other serious injuries that can be cured, continue to join the fight, and if they cannot be cured, they will be sent home with bereavement benefits to spend the rest of their lives in peace.

He Shouguang was in a heavy mood, although he knew that war was about death, but he had to let the dead die well, so he set up a monument on the mountain, mobilized all the troops, and held a mourning meeting.

He Shouguang looked at the thousands of tombstones in front of him, took the lead in saluting a military salute, and shouted: "All salute, send our best brother on the last journey."

Hundreds of thousands of troops at the same time, raised their hands in salute. At this moment, they felt that their suffering was worth it. They are proud that they are still able to fight.
