Uzhen Chaoha, even the heavy artillery units of Manchuria, this team was built as early as the Nurhachi era.

It's just that a few red-coated cannons were introduced from the Ming Dynasty at that time, and the power was not very great. And when he was at war with the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi was also shot by Yuan Chonghuan and died of depression.

However, their Wuzhen Chaoha developed, and through the efforts of Huang Taiji and Dolgon, in the later Battle of Dalinghe and the Battle of Songjin, they finally avenged Nurhachi.

Now the Wuzhen Chaoha of the Qing Dynasty has long been replaced with shotguns. even surpassed the Ming Dynasty and created a 10,000-pound cannon.

This time, 18 red-coated cannons were pulled, the lightest of which was 3,000 catties, two of which were 5,000 catties, and one of which was 10,000 catties.

The weight of a cannon represents its range, and the heavier the gun, the longer the range.

In order to attack the fortified position, it is necessary to use artillery.

Dolgon had this idea for a long time, but these redcoat cannons were a bit bulky, especially in this mountain battle, it was more cumbersome to build a fort, and the mobility was too poor.

Now that Saibei has suffered a loss, Dolgon adopted Hong Chengchou's strategy, planning to use the red-coated cannon to open the way and blast open the gate of Shanhaiguan.

Dolgon had long been optimistic about the place of Tower Hill, which was the best place to run the fire.

Although the mountain is not too high, only 500 meters above sea level, it is very difficult to walk, and it is not easy to get these behemoths to the mountain.

The first step was to capture Tashan, which was only five or six miles away from the Shanhaiguan Pass, which was the best range for the red-coated artillery.

But this place is very close to Shanhaiguan, they must find out if there is a Ming army on it, and if there is, they must capture Tashan and eliminate the Ming army on the mountain.

If not, they will garrison the mountains again and get the artillery up to build a battery.

Tong Yangjia, the capital commander of Wuzhen Chaoha, took the initiative to ask, "Lord Wang, the matter of Tashan is handed over to his subordinates!"

Dolgon nodded, "In line with the king's wishes, it is not wrong to immediately capture Tower Hill and build a fort."

"Huh." Tong Yangjia flicked his big sleeves, gave Dolgon a big Qing salute, and withdrew from the big tent.

Although the current Tong Yangjia is not a general soldier, it is also equivalent to a general soldier or deputy general soldier, and Wuzhen Chaoha, who is in charge of Dolgon, has 18 cannons and 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Back in his artillery battalion, Tong Yangjia immediately sent a small force of 300 men to capture Tashan.

These 300 Qing troops were led by Enkeyi, the leader of the Mongolian Red Banner, and the 300 people under his command were also Mongolian Eight Banners.

The task given to them by Tong Yangjia was to go to the mountains with 300 people to find out, and if there was a small group of Ming troops to be eliminated on the spot, if the Ming army was stationed here, they would report to the mountain.

If they occupy Tashan and raise a flag on the mountain, Tong Yangjia sends a large army up the mountain and transports the cannons up.

"Huh."

Enkeyi Yingnuo set off with 300 people in his life, only a few miles away from the camp of the Qing army, and walked along the winding mountain road as thin as sheep's intestines, but walked for half an hour, at least a dozen miles, and 300 people flew to the bottom of the mountain.

Carrying a Mongolian scimitar and a bow and arrow behind him, Nkeyi looked up at the not very high mountain peak, but it was a cliff and the only way to climb it was to take a detour.

"Winter?"

"The subordinates are here," Wintertle, the commander of the military outpost, intervened in the salute, this life is a tiger with a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and eyes, and a good arrow.

"Take 50 brethren with you, and lead the way with your head."

"Huh."

Winter made a promise, took 50 of his men, abandoned his horse, and climbed up the mountain.

Nkeyi, with the remaining 200 or so Mongol soldiers, was on the cliff

On the top of Tower Mountain, Li Qiniang and Tang Wancai were fighting.

They were a couple who were enemies and brought 200 brocade guards with them, and after leaving the customs, they quietly touched the mountain.

After arriving at the mountain, they found that although the peak of Tashan is not high, and the place on the top of the mountain is not big, but the terrain is precipitous, and there are more than ten zhang of cliffs, the mountain is densely wooded, and 200 Jinyi guards are ambushed on the top of the mountain

Come and send people to patrol.

From the mountain, it is relatively close to the camp of the Qing army.

Fear of exposure, only concealment.

and sent Jinyi Wei to send a letter to Chongzhen.

But the two commanders, Li Miniang and Tang Wancai, raised the bar again without saying a word, and then they faced each other by force.

The golden lotus palm is against the golden lotus palm, and the two people are also running up and down, and the two palms are whirring in the wind, and it is difficult to solve the fight.

No one dared to persuade the generals under him, and he knew that the two of them were funny, so he was watching the play next to him.

At this moment, a Jinyi Wei General Banner ran over, "Two adults, stop fighting, the Qing army has touched it."

This sentence really worked, and the two immediately stopped fighting.

"How many are coming?"

"If you go back to the adult, there are dozens of people, but there are still at the bottom of the mountain, at least a few hundred people, all of them are Mongolian***."

"Can you bring a cannon?"

Zongqi shook his head, "If you go back to your lordship, you won't find the heavy firearms of the Qing army."

Tang Wancai and Li Miniang glanced at each other, this is a small force of the Qing army, it must be the bottom of it, they want to occupy Tashan.

"The emperor is really clever, kill them all." Tang Wancai showed a smug smile.

"You dead ghost knows a fart, go and report to the emperor, the old lady is here to clean them up, so as not to miss a big thing."

Li Qiniang said and pulled out the snowflake double knife.
