Ten cannon shots frightened the 3,000 cavalry in front of Shanhaiguan, and even shocked Li Zicheng, who was 3 miles away.

Although he is the Emperor of Dashun and the army is his, the actual commander of the army is Liu Zongmin.

In the hearts of many soldiers, Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng have a similar status.

These ten cannon shots, and the fire in front of the battle, made Li Zicheng worried. If Liu Zongmin had an accident before the war, the blow to the morale of the army would definitely not be small.

In the firelight, the soldiers vaguely saw that Liu Zongmin was completely black, falling under his horse, and the three thousand cavalry were suddenly in chaos.

Who knew that Liu Zongmin actually got up silently, was helped by his own soldiers to climb onto the horse, and ran towards the base camp without looking back.

At this time, the small artillery had not yet been filled with gunpowder, Wu Sangui was in a hurry, and hurriedly took a hard bow, filled it with all his strength, and let go of it to shoot.

Who knew that Liu Zongmin's horse speed was extremely fast, and the sharp arrow could be shot to the horse's leg. The horse was in pain and ran faster.

Three thousand cavalry surrounded Liu Zongmin and withdrew, and soon arrived in front of the main camp, unconsciously breathing a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that ten small cannons couldn't kill Liu Zongmin, and seeing that the marquis in his hand was gone, Wu Sangui hated it.

Liu Zongmin ran to the front of the battle, and did not enter the camp, but galloped back and forth in front of the battle, shouting, "Wu Sangui's capricious villain, I, Shaanxi Gan'erlang, will definitely kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" Kill Kill Kill ......"

"Kill, kill, kill...... Kill Kill Kill ......"

Seeing the commander being bombed, the soldiers who broke into the camp were all angry, and when they heard the commander's encouragement, the army resounded with earth-shattering murder.

Liu Zongmin saw that the morale was sufficient, he put his mind at ease, quickly entered the camp, and went straight to Li Zicheng's Chinese army tent.

When Li Zicheng heard that Liu Zongmin would not die, he made up his mind and waited in front of the tent.

Liu Zongmin saw it, rode his horse to less than three steps at the tent, turned over and dismounted, and dodged into the big tent.

Seeing him behaving so abnormally, Li Zicheng knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly followed.

Unexpectedly, he found that Liu Zongmin had walked three or five steps into the tent, and then fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

Li Zicheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to check with his own soldiers, but saw that Liu Zongmin had more than a dozen wounds all over his body, and he kept vomiting blood in his mouth, obviously the internal and external injuries were not light.

Historically, Liu Zongmin was injured by an arrow in the Battle of Shanhaiguan. The general trend of history is mighty, because of Zhu Youjian's crossing, the arrow became shelled.

Li Zicheng was furious in his heart and roared and ordered. "Jie Xuan was really a famous general at that time, so injured, he could still support the help to encourage the morale of the army! Quickly spread the news to the military doctor for treatment and tightly seal the news.

Ordered the whole army to attack, and today he will be killed and his blood will be shed. ”

With the sound of the horn, tens of thousands of intruders rushed to Shanhaiguan.

When Wu Sangui saw it, he was so frightened that his face was bloodless. "It's bad, the army is going to fill the earth and attack the city!"

As he expected, the invasion army had already made a plan.

Because Shanhai City is nearly 12 meters high, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very expensive to use conventional tactics such as cloud ladders, and it may not be successful.

Therefore, the method of earth-filling warfare was adopted, and the earth and stones were transported to the city, and little by little, they were put up, and finally the horses were allowed to jump up the city wall.

The first to rush up were the hungry people from Juyongguan to Gyeonggi by Li Zicheng. They were in rags, carrying dirt and bouldering, and under the drive of the veterans who broke into the camp, they rushed forward desperately.

As long as the earth and stones were transported to the pass five times, they could get three full meals, and they would not attack the city for three days.

Of the 100,000 troops besieging the city, only 60,000 were intruders, and the remaining 40,000 were hungry people.

The reason why Li Zicheng feeds them with one meal a day is for now.

Soon, tens of thousands of hungry people rushed to the close of the pass. The soldiers at the head of the city began to shoot arrows with bows. The hungry people fell one after another, but the hungry people behind still rushed forward desperately.

If you retreat, you will be beheaded as a deserter, it is better to rush forward, in case you succeed 5 times, you will not only be able to eat well, but you can also retreat to the rear to ensure safety.

The city had limited soldiers and limited archery skills, so it was impossible to shoot all the enemies, and many hungry people laid down the earth and rocks and ran away with their heads in their hands.

At this time, there were soldiers at the head of the city who threw down the rolling logs to attack the intruders, and at the same time threw down straw, poured horse oil, shot rockets, and ignited a raging fire.

Many hungry people died in the fire, and became a stepping stone.

Wu Sangui was very anxious, if it went on like this, it was not only the soil and stones brought by the thieves, but also their corpses, the bows and arrows shot by his own soldiers, and the sassal wood thrown down, all of which became Li Chuang's stepping stones.

The battle lasted until noon, and the army was withdrawn.

The starving people in the prison were about to be amnestied, and they threw earth and stones and ran back.

Zhu Youjian has been standing at the head of the wall, looking at the nearly 10,000 corpses under the gate, and his heart is extremely angry. He really couldn't imagine that Li Zicheng would treat human life like a mustard.

So many hungry people were sacrificed for nothing.

I'm afraid that Li Zicheng will not only not feel distressed, but will even be happy. Not only did it complete the military task and consume the materials in the pass, but it also saved 10,000 mouths waiting to be fed.

The Ming court, which claims to disregard the lives of the people, will give out one million taels of silver every year for disaster relief.

The king who is known as the king of the people to fight the world, actually filled the city wall with human lives.

Not only Zhu Youjian was angry, but Fan Jingwen, Ling Yiqu and others also stood at the head of the city and scolded.

Half an hour later, after a short rest, the hungry people were driven to attack a second time.

As in the morning, the hungry people were desperate to carry earth and rocks under the gates.

There was a strong smell of blood under the entire Shanhai Pass. The original 6-meter-high wall is less than 3 meters in several places.

"Holy Lord, it seems that tonight will be sleepless, and if you don't take advantage of the night to remove the soil and rocks, you won't be able to keep it tomorrow." Fan Jingwen said.

Gao Di, Wu Sangui, and Ni Yuanlu all came over in search of prestige, and their eyes were different.

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "I'm afraid Li Zicheng is not prepared to let you have time to remove the soil and rocks." His regular army of 60,000 barely moved, you think they are here for sightseeing? ”

"Could it be ......" Fan Jianwen was a little panicked.

"Li Chuang will definitely fight at night!" Zhu Youjian said.

Up to now, nearly 30,000 hungry people have been killed or wounded, and the arrows in the city have bottomed out.

At this rate, the walls of Shanhaiguan can be buried at least 4 meters before the sun sets.

Finally, the Chuang army once again called in gold.

Guan Ningjun originally wanted to take the opportunity to go out of the customs to collect arrows and sasswood, but he didn't want to close the door and was blocked by earth and stones, so he couldn't open it at all.

Only a few soldiers took the opportunity to drop the rope and go down to the city, barely collecting some arrows to come up.

At the head of the city, Chongzhen handed Wu Sangui a letter and said, "Give it to an old friend." ”

Wu Sangui understood, took the letter and retreated.

Gao Di couldn't hold back his anger, he had just been crowned an earl, but he didn't want to die in battle, so he asked, "Holy Lord, how can we retreat from the enemy now." ”

Zhu Youjian smiled, "Qing doesn't need to worry, at three o'clock, the enemy army will retreat." ”

Gao Di saw the affirmation of what Chongzhen said, thinking that the Flying Dragon Army would attack at the right time, and thinking that although it was thrilling today, there were almost no casualties among the soldiers in the pass, and there was still the strength of a battle, so he made up his mind.

After a short time, Li Zicheng ordered the whole army to charge and take Shanhaiguan before the hour.

At this time, it was just getting dark, and the soldiers held torches and killed them at Shanhaiguan.

From afar, it's quite spectacular.

Fan Jingwen looked at the stars on the field, and felt very gorgeous, and the poetry was full of excitement for a while, but thinking of the blood flowing into a river today, these stars were even more of an existence that wanted to ask for his life, and he rotted the prepared poems in his stomach.

At the same time, Dolgon, Duoduo and others were watching the battle from a very long distance when they received a letter from Wu Sangui.

There are only eight big characters.

"Quickly rectify the tiger division, go straight to the gate."
