"Marshal, the Shandong army dug the soil for the mountain, according to the estimation of the last general, Xiao Li thief is a condescending plan, if you sit and watch its soil and mountains pile up, its firepower is enough to cover our city pass, so the southern wing of the city must not be defended, according to the banner visual inspection of the enemy will seem to be Geng Zhongming."

In the face of Geng Zhongming's conspiracy, Wu Yinglin, who only had more than 1,000 military horses in his hands, had to rush to the main city of Shanhaiguan to consult Wu Sangui about the battle defense.

"Hehe, Geng Zhongming's guy was beaten by us when he was in Leiden and fled, if it weren't for Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng who sent troops to rescue, he would have become the last general's ghost, this guy voted for Li Xingzhi, and he became a goddamn fine, the last general of the army lord, please transfer two thousand iron horsemen, and go out of the city tomorrow to fight the thief, if it is not successful, he is willing to come to see him."

Wu Zhimao sneered again and again, when Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde caused trouble in Leiden, it was he who led the Guanning army to come to the aid, beheaded Li Jiucheng, and pacified the Leiden Rebellion in one fell swoop.

"Dashuai, Xiao Li thief is scheming, according to the battle report from Liaodong, the Shandong army is to induce the puppet Qingli Prince Daishan to fight a decisive battle in the Great Black Mountain, and attacked Jinzhou with a partial division, dug a trench overnight, and blocked the retreat of the two red flags in the east, so that the Qing army was completely annihilated, this plan is the same as Huang Taiji's strategy during the Songjin War, Geng Zhongming built a dirt mountain in the southern wing of the city, and knew that he was not using a strategy to lure the enemy?"

Guo Zhuangtu, a member of the Wu army, hurriedly said that the Shandong army was in a deep ditch and high base on the first line of Shanhaiguan, and now it is attacking the north and south wings of the city, and it has already left the city, and the enemy army can immediately push into the walled city, and the newly built Tushan is within the coverage of the Shandong army's artillery fire, and the Guanning iron cavalry will not become a live target of the Shandong army at that time.

"The south wing city is connected to the old dragon's head, the terrain is flat, the soil is soft, it is not suitable for cavalry to fight at all, according to the students' opinion, it is better to evacuate the south wing city, on the one hand, it can thin the military strength of the Shandong army, on the other hand, Wu Yingqi's department can be transferred to the north wing city, the appropriate students also received Guo Yunlong's battle report, the Shandong army on the north wing of the city has been killed, and the pressure on General Guo's side is not small."

Staff member Xie Sixin even suggested that he should first abandon the southern wing city, which was not well defended, and concentrate his troops to defend the main city and the north wing city of Shanhaiguan.

"Mr. Xie's words are reasonable, there is no danger to defend in the area of the South Wing City, like chicken ribs, and the food is tasteless, but let's not give up rashly, it is better to wait for its earth and mountains to be built, and then evacuate after the heavy artillery bombardment of the city, just to show Xiao Li Thief the east after the pass, so that he has some scruples, but the grain in my pass is only enough to support two months, and the marshal has to communicate with the Jin merchants to let him send some rice grain over."

Yang Kun also agreed to abandon the southern wing city, and even wanted to use the Manchurian soldiers under Azige's command to deter the Jingbei army, and wanted Li Xingzhi to retreat knowing the difficulty.

"Since all the gentlemen agree to give up the South Wing City, how can Ben Shuai not obey, Wu Yingqi, you will follow Mr. Yang's plan, guard the city, delay the time, the Minister of State, Mr. Xie, you two selected 1,000 fine horses to ride away from the grassland and transfer to Shanxi to contact Fan Yongdou and purchase 100,000 stone military rations for the town."

Wu Sangui waved his hand, and agreed to the suggestion of Yang Kun and others, and only defended the main city of Shanhaiguan with high and wide cities and the northern wing city built on the mountain.

"The last general will be ordered!"

Wu Yingqi, Wu Zhimao and others suddenly received the order, and they went out one by one.

At the same time, the battle situation in the North Wing City has reached a fever pitch.

Ban Zhifu urged the soldiers and horses to rush to the city with all their might, and the Guan Ning army also did not stay behind, rolling wood, stones, gold juice, lime bottles, and all the instruments that could be smashed under the city were pushed down from behind the wall by the soldiers.

The rolling log was long and thick, and it was thrown down the city wall, and one could carry at least four or five ladders. The Jingbei army on the cloud ladder was directly smashed down if it couldn't avoid it, and there was nowhere to hide if the sharp-eyed and fast-handed ones had to jump off the cloud ladder in advance.

At this moment in the battle, it has been nearly two hours, but except for the Jingbei army that is still trying to climb the city in a mess under the city, no soldier has been able to climb the two-zhang high city head.

Although the Jingbei Army's offensive was fierce, but at the moment when it was exhausted, the Guanning Army's side suffered a lot fewer casualties than the Jingbei Army, except for cold arrows, guns, and artillery shelling, and only more than 400 people were killed by this time, and the battle losses were about half less than that of the Jingbei Army.

Guo Yunlong has been observing the camp of the Jingbei Army on the opposite side, judging when the main force of the Jingbei Army will come up, but looking at it, he has not found any signs of the Jingbei Army attacking the whole army, and he can't help but wonder why Shang Kexi didn't take the city in one go, but let the soldiers who attacked first suffer such heavy casualties.

In the camp of the Jingbei Army, Shang Kexi also took a clairvoyant mirror to observe the movements of the Guanning Army, but the target of his attention was not the North Wing City, the battle had been fought since noon and it was now dark, Ban Zhifu obviously did not have the strength to climb the head of the North Wing City, he was concerned about Xu Erxian who attacked Jiaoshan in a sneak attack.

Jiaoshan is located about six miles away from Shanhaiguan City, and is the highest peak of the mountain barrier in the north of Guancheng, about 200 zhang high. Its peak is a flat item, in fact, it is the node of the Great Wall connecting Shanhaiguan, the top of the mountain also has the enemy tower and the city wall, can accommodate 100 people to guard, such a key commanding height, the Guanning army will naturally garrison the defense, in order to stabilize the corner mountain, Guo Yunlong also transferred more than 100 people from the north wing city to guard by his brother Guo Daorong.

Jiaoshan is condescending, and there is the Great Wall as a backing, the mountain road is rugged, and after the heavy snowfall, the road is slippery at night.

Today's battle situation, Guo Daorong on the enemy tower on the top of the mountain can see clearly, although the Jingbei Army's offensive is fierce, the Guanning Army is not vegetarian, more than two hours of fighting, the Jingbei Army has lost nearly 1,000 people, but the Guancheng has not moved, which makes him even more relieved, seeing that it is getting late, the Shandong army has not yet shown signs of retreating, and the soldiers on the mountain patrol have reported several times that there is no Shandong army going up the mountain, and Guo Daorong, who is relieved, simply took his own soldiers into the enemy building and drank wine.

"The weather on this dog day, freezing to death, Zhao Liu, you go and order the brothers on duty outside to light a fire, and then take two jars of wine to warm them up, but the intersection must be good for Lao Tzu, don't let the Shandong army touch it, the handsome is really, Xiao Li thief has named him the Marquis of Pingnan, and he is not satisfied, if he votes for the Yongli Emperor, will we drink the northwest wind on the top of the mountain on such a cold day?"

Two sips of old wine entered his stomach, Guo Daorong only felt a little warmer, and he babbled about Wu Sangui's not getting up.

"General Guo is right, the marshal said that he wanted to avenge the first emperor, and said that he wanted to kill Li Xingzhi and King De, when the Shandong army was in trouble, why didn't he take us back to Beijing, now it's okay, the Beijing division is lost, the emperor Lao Tzu is dead, he is loyal, and he actually wants to collude with the Tartars to kill back to the Central Plains, if the Tartars really enter the Shanhaiguan, I am afraid that it is easy to ask God to send God!"

The tongue of the general banner Sun Wu is big, which of the people of Liaodong has no blood feud with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they, the low-level officers of Liaodong, have suffered enough from the Dongyu, and when they think of Wu Sangui and the Dongyu soldiers, several of the general banners present are indignant.

"Don't say it, beware that the wall has ears, if the handsome man knows, do you eat sin, come and go brothers, there is wine today and drunk today, don't care if he is right or wrong."

Guo Daorong glared at Sun Wu, raised the wine jar and poured two sips.
