Zhang Xianzhong watched in surprise as the jack gate was lowered, and then a hellish scream sounded inside the closed city.

Finished! These 3,000 are finished!

But Zhang Xianzhong doesn't care, it doesn't matter if there are hundreds of thousands of people under his command who are less than 35000. There were just a few people who ate, and they saved a lot of food.

Dolgon looked helplessly at the jack gate, the stone jack gate would definitely not work for a hundred and ten pounds of gunpowder. The mortar is a curved artillery, and it is not good to deal with the firing angle of the stone jack gate.

The best thing is to use siege guns, which have a straight trajectory and are very lethal to the walls. However, it was too bulky to travel in the grasslands where there were almost no roads. When Huang Taiji came out, he didn't bring it at all.

In this raid pass, what you want is speed, and what you want is surprise. For these two things, Huang Taiji gave up the siege artillery. Anyway, relying on people to pile gunpowder under the city wall is also a good way. It is to kill and injure some people, anyway, the dead are all Han people, even Zhang Xianzhong doesn't care much, and Huang Taiji doesn't care even more.

"There's no way, only a strong attack." Dolgon saw the head of Tongguan City, and kept throwing corpses down.

Most of the corpses were stuck with arrows, and some of them looked like they had been killed by firecrackers, and half of their heads were gone. One by one, the dead were thrown down, and soon they were piled up in front of the city gates.

This time it's even more troublesome, if you want to blow up the jack gate, you have to move those corpses first. The Ming army at the head of the city will not let them move the corpses easily. It is estimated that the people sent over did not touch the corpse, and they became new corpses themselves.

"Lord Belle! Look at this ......! "Zhang Xianzhong has no choice, although there are many others, but this Tongguan is not something that can be broken by a large number of people.

"Hey......!" Dolgon sighed, he couldn't afford to waste too much time under Tongguan, seeing that he could only use precious cannonballs now.

"Mortar!" Dorgon shouted, and the two mortars were immediately reloaded. They are all gunners who have been trained for several months, and the distance is still good. The first shot hit the front of the pass and exploded on the ground. Another shot hit Tongguan, raising a puff of smoke, and I don't know if it blew up anyone.

There was a panic at the head of the city, but seeing that the shells did not fall on their heads, the Ming army soon recovered and continued to pile up corpses at the city gate.

The gunners quickly adjusted their angles, and the second shells all hit the city pass. The Ming soldiers who were carrying the corpses were blown up by the air wave of the explosion, and the corpses in their hands were left in the gate, but they fell to the city.

The main road of Tongguan is only two carriages in parallel, and although the pass is tall, there are not a few soldiers standing on it. The mortars only fired two rounds, and there were no people in sight of the city. All those who weren't killed by the bomb ran away, and the Ming army never dreamed that these mud legs under the city would have cannons.

Two teams of Han banner soldiers quickly stepped forward, ran to a hundred paces away, and pointed the flintlock pistols in their hands at the battlements on the city gate in the distance. Their guns are now also loaded with Mini bullets, and their range and accuracy are not comparable to those of the previous spherical bullets.

"Kill! Break the Tong Pass, and each person will be rewarded with ten big white buns! Zhang Xianzhong organized thousands of cannon fodder again very efficiently, all holding big wooden sticks in his hands.

The hungry people were killed again, and as soon as the Ming army showed up in the city, there would be wasp-like bullets hitting them. There will always be bullets that accurately pass through the heads of Ming soldiers, even officers with iron helmets.

The hungry began to carry the corpses, and the stonemason-turned-fellows began to "clang" the jack gates. They were all experienced old stonemasons, who first carved a triangular groove in the stone, and then had the strong fellow pick up a sledgehammer and smash it.

It was only half an hour before and after, and a hole was smashed out of the jack gate. I smashed it twice along the hole, and the jack gate broke all at once. The half-jack gate, which weighed hundreds of pounds, hit the crowd straight into the crowd. Several sledgehammer blowers have been smashed into meatloaf!

The hungry people don't care about this, ten big white flour buns are still very tempting. Everyone rushed in like crazy, and this time there was no jack gate falling from above.

"Up!" At the sound of Dolgon's order, the soldiers of the Han army banner rushed to the bottom of the city wall with ladders. Climbed the ladder to the city wall, and did not see a shadow of the Ming army. Quickly reload the bullets and shoot at the Ming troops on the opposite pass.

Their flintlock pistols could hit the Ming army, but the Ming army's bows and crossbows could not shoot them. As long as the Ming army shows its head on the city pass, no one can escape the fate of being shot. With the cover of the Han army flag, the hungry people arrogantly ran a distance of 100 steps directly to the bottom of the city.

I don't know which immoral guy brought gunpowder, and piled it up under the city gate, which was half a man high. The most immoral thing is that this guy runs away when he lights it.

No one ran, and several and a half children were still watching curiously. Poor child, he has never seen gunpowder in his life.

"Boom!" The gates were blown open, and the half-grown children were blown away. Everywhere there were stumps and broken arms, and everywhere there were people lying in pools of blood. The screams of the people drifted to the top of the city with the smoke of gunpowder!

The mortars were dragged to the top of the pass, but it was found that the hungry people had rushed into the pass. There is no need to fire any more cannonballs, shells are expensive!

Three thousand Ming troops were stationed at Tongguan, according to previous experience. The rebels who lacked siege equipment and siege experience could not defeat them for a year. But now, the 3,000 defenders of Tongguan have only held out for one day.

When the cavalry of the Yellow Banner rushed over with countless corpses, chasing and killing those officers and soldiers who had fled. It dawned on the Ming army that their real opponent had become a Tartar soldier. Aren't those guys in Liaodong? How did you get to Guanzhong?

No one answered their questions, and Huang Taiji didn't want to take prisoners. The cavalry of the Yellow Banner didn't have this mind, and after the pursuit, no matter whether you knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, or fought for your life, throwing your hand was a knife.

In the end, it became like a game, big guy, you cut a knife, I cut a knife, pay attention to the knife and not cut people to death. Whoever hacked to death in the end will have to lose money!

Tongguan was broken in one day, and the entire Ming Dynasty and the opposition were shocked. The Tartars have appeared in the west of the Empire, what is going on? Could it be that they can fly?

Qian Qianyi was very happy, anyway, Guanzhong was occupied by the chaotic people. As for whether it was occupied by the rebels or by the Tartars, he didn't care. What he cares about is that the Tartar soldiers appear in Guanzhong, and he can now impeach the Liao soldiers for their ineffective conscription. Although Li Xiao is now the governor of Shandong, he can't get rid of his involvement in the impeachment of the Liao army.

The most ideal result is to uproot Li Xiao and his gang. For Qian Qianyi, that would be wonderful. Anyway, what they Jiangnan scholars care about is the safety and peace of Jiangnan, and what can they do in the north even if they are made into hot pot porridge. Except for a mansion in the capital, Lao Tzu does not have an inch of land in the north.

Besides, the Tartars just laid down Tongguan. There is also Xuanfu, and Datong. Then there is the Bauhinia Pass and the Inner Great Wall, and after this circle, there shouldn't be many people left in the Tartars.

"Impeachment! Immediately mobilized the officials to impeach the Liao army, and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and sent personnel to find evidence of Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, and what is the name of Zu Dashou. As long as it is verified, immediately lock the book and take it back to Beijing. When Qian Qianyi commanded, his little tongue was trembling with excitement.

There is a group of six- and seven-grade officials standing below, don't look at their small officials, but they are a very important force in the DPRK. And these people are all Jiangnan scholars, even if some are not Jiangnan scholars. They also have a relationship with the Donglin Party as a teacher and a student, and now that the Donglin boss has spoken, all the officials have agreed in unison and resigned.

I'm going to go home overnight to write a recital, whether it's the crime of the Liao army, what if it's true. In their eyes, the emperor is not important, the Ming Dynasty is also unimportant, and the most important thing is the appreciation of the eldest brother Qian Qianyi.

Now that the boss has spoken, he naturally has to go all out to scold people.
