When the Zhenglan Banner attacked Nanguan, everyone felt that the matter had been done, once the Ming army lost the advantage of firearms, it was impossible to enter the hand-to-hand battle and could not be the opponent of the Eight Banners Warriors.

But the next scene surprised everyone, Zhenglan Banner was actually driven directly down Guangshun Pass by the Ming army.

Nurhachi hurriedly sent Zilharang's blue banner to reinforce him.

The Blue Flag, which has 33 ox records, is the second largest flag in Manchuria after the Zhenghuang Flag, with 7,100 people.

Zilharan also wanted to prove in front of everyone that he was not in vain as the banner master, and soon he threw his main force into battle.

At this time, the Ming army in Nanguan also suffered heavy casualties, with a total of 3,660 people before the war, and only 2,200 people remained at this time.

To add insult to injury, due to overuse, half of the old bird guns have been scrapped, and only the new Rumi guns are not a problem for the time being.

Even the Tiger Squat Cannon had only enough ammunition to fire two rounds.

There are 7,100 people in the blue flag, and both the siege force and the number of archers under the city are stronger than the blue flag just now.

Rounds of arrows rained down on the city, which had already overwhelmed the Ming army.

Even the musketeers who shot at the towers and enemy towers were shot by the archers under the castle.

Mao Wenlong was also extremely nervous at this time, wanting to rely on the attack of more than 2,000 people in his hands to hard-resist several times the enemy's attack, the pressure can be imagined?

The weakness of the firepower visible to the naked eye of the Ming army made it possible for the blue flag to completely grasp the initiative on the battlefield at this moment.

This made Mang Gurtai on the side a little unhappy, everyone is the same style of play and tactics, just because he went up first to pad a wave, and now Zilharang actually came over to directly "pick peaches".

Zilharang already knew that the three-eyed gun of the Ming army in the city was waiting for his white fang.

Therefore, he also made corresponding adjustments, leaving these elites behind.

Just as they were confidently climbing the city wall with blue flags, they found that many altars suddenly fell from the sky, and some even smashed directly on them.

Soon a pungent smell of fire oil spread under the city.

Some experienced Eight Banners soldiers looked very frightened, and they shouted: "Run, the Ming army is going to attack!" ”

As a torch fell, the flames quickly burned, and many of the blue-flaged soldiers under the city were engulfed in flames, and screams and cries of pain filled the battlefield.

The fire spread very quickly, and after a while, the ladders and chariots that had been attacking the city also burned.

The burnt soldiers rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

This scene directly stunned the archers of the Eight Banners in the rear.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The firecrackers of the Pingyu Guard were not affected by the fire below the city, and they continued to shoot mercilessly at the blue flag under the city, as if they were killing machines.

Mao Wenlong also shouted: "Hurry up and release arrows to the city." ”

The sky had already darkened, but the huge light of the fire directly reflected the entire sky.

This fire also completely declared the failure of the siege of Jianyu.

Although Zilharang was unwilling, the siege equipment had been burned at this time, and he had no choice but to withdraw his army, leaving the corpses of 300 soldiers with blue flags on the battlefield.

At this time, the Ming army was already tired and paralyzed on the city, panting heavily, and they no longer had the strength to celebrate this hard-won victory.

At this time, the 1,500 reinforcements of Kaiyuan guerrilla Yuhualong finally came to Guangshun Pass.

This sky-high fire made him think that Jian Yu was setting fire to the pass, but fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Yu Hualong didn't expect that his good brother Gao Zhen, who was talking and laughing with him a few days ago, has now died.

However, at this moment, he really didn't have time to be sad, but conveyed the latest situation to Yan Mingtai.

Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Jingluo has ordered all the men and horses of Kaiyuan Road to support Nanguan, and at least 3,000 reinforcements will arrive here before the dawn of Buddha tomorrow.

Although he didn't have a gunpowder, he still brought the gunpowder that was urgently needed in Guangshun Pass, and the lead needed for firing the tiger squat cannon.

In addition, Tielingwei will also send 1,500 reinforcements to arrive here before noon tomorrow.

Yu Wanli also said that there were still 200 bird guns in Pingyu Fort, and he had already asked people to go back to transfer troops, and 500 Pingyu guards would also rush to Guangshun Pass with bird guns and some black powder before dawn.

In this way, there will be as many as eight or nine thousand Ming troops on the border tomorrow, and the cannonballs and bird guns have also been replenished to a certain extent, and everyone is full of confidence.

Yu Hualong said: "The brothers of Guangshun Pass have worked hard, since the ladders and chariots for the siege of Jianyu have been destroyed, it is estimated that they will not come to attack the city again, and our department will replace you at night." ”

Considering that the consumption of the defenders in Guanshang today was indeed very large, Yan Mingtai also agreed with Yu Hualong's proposal.

However, Jianyu also had to be guarded, and he still left 100 Pingyu guards to garrison in the same corner tower of the city gate tower.

After telling Yu Hualong to send more people to patrol the night, and after arranging a secret post outside the pass, he went down to rest with Mao Wenlong and others.

There's definitely a tough fight tomorrow and it's important to recover tonight.

Mang Gurtai, who had returned in vain, returned to the camp outside the Guan.

At this time, Nurhachi's face was extremely ugly, and Mang Gurtai quickly knelt down and said: "Great Khan, I failed to live up to your expectations and failed to take Nanguan, please punish you!" ”

Nurhachi calmed down and said: "Sanbel Mang Gurtai, the siege of the city did not delay the fighters, which greatly damaged the morale of our army, and should be severely punished; However, remembering his past exploits, today he will be lightly dismissed, and he will be given another chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Take it down and whip fifty lashes!"

Mang Gurtai was afraid of being demoted and deprived of Niu Lu, but when he heard that he was just being whipped, he hurriedly said: "Thank you Great Khan, I will definitely make meritorious service tomorrow." ”

Although the losses of the Eight Banners in today's siege were not large, a total of 2,800 people were killed.

But he was desperate this time, if he couldn't make a quick decision, and when the reinforcements of the Ming army arrived, the plan to plunder and open the original road would be in vain.

At this time, Huang Taiji said: "According to the news from Ye He's side, Li Xianzhong did not appear in Ye He City. ”

"But he didn't return to Kaiyuan either, I guess he probably went to raid Horqin's lair!"

Dai Shan and the others were all shocked, Li Xianzhong was addicted to copying people's nests, and he had attacked Hetuala twice before, this time Horqin was really fierce.

Nurhachi said: "This is actually good news, if his target is the camp in Korqin, then we have at least two days to sweep the original road." ”

However, this Li Xianzhong still had to be guarded, so he ordered Du Du's inlaid white flag to be stationed in the north of the camp to prevent Li Xianzhong from leading his troops south.

Just as everyone was about to discuss how to break the city tomorrow, Tan Ma Lai reported that he had found and captured a Ming army outside Nanguan, and he claimed to be the messenger of Geng Yue, the general of the Ming army, and came to deliver the news.

Huang Taiji hurriedly explained: "Geng Yue is a general under the guerrilla general Yu Hualong, and he is also the last important internal response of us in Kaiyuan that has not been exposed. ”

"This time I came, I think there must be an important information transmission."

Huang Taiji quickly returned to the big tent after seeing the messenger of the Ming army.

I saw that after Huang Taiji whispered a few words beside Nurhachi, his old face, which was full of gloom just now, instantly became smiling.

said: "I didn't expect this bear barbarian to transfer our people to Guangshun Pass, this is really God helping me." ”

"Si Baylor, you personally led the white flag to pick up, and you must take Guangshun Pass tonight."

At this time, Geng Yue was patrolling Guangshun Pass, and he didn't expect that he would be in charge of patrolling at this juncture.

Originally, he was still worried about how to transmit the information, but Yu Hualong ordered him to arrange a few secret posts outside the pass, which was really sleepy and sent pillows.

With the wealth of the original road, with his own dedication this time, I am afraid that he will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.

I really haven't seen much of the market in this guerrilla family, so I followed Li Xianzhong to sweep the fried flower department once, and I got two thousand taels of silver and I was very excited.

If his vote is successful, don't say it's silver, maybe he can still work in Jianzhou like Li Yongfang!

But at the moment, this Yu Hualong has been lying on the shut-up and not resting, which is really a bit of a hindrance.

Geng Yue said: "There will be a bloody battle tomorrow to build a captive attack, and now it is an ugly time, why don't you go to the city tower to rest in the guerrillas, and tomorrow you will raise your spirit to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”

Yu Hualong shook his head and said: "General Gao has been my best friend for many years, he sacrificed his life for the country today, my mood is difficult to calm down, and I can't sleep. ”

Geng Yue said: "There are subordinates in the city who are responsible for patrolling, and there are several waves of secret posts arranged outside the city, even if the Jianyu sneak attack, we will find out as soon as possible." ”

"You have to rest well tonight, so that you can kill a few more Tartars tomorrow and avenge the high staff general!"

Geng Yue said this, which made Yu Hualong very moved, and he said: "Then bother Geng General, be sure to take precautions, I will go to the city gate tower to rest first, and I will replace you in a while." ”

After Yu Hualong left, Geng Yue arranged several of Yu Hualong's cronies to patrol away from the city gate.

Now that everything was ready, he soon waved his torch to deliver the message to the dark whistle.

Yan Mingtai and Yu Hualong never thought that the secret sentry they set up outside the pass had become Jianyu's leading party at this time.

The Dark Sentinel was quick to respond.

Said happily: "Qiyu, Lord Baylor, Mr. Geng has already taken care of everything, and I ask Baylor to be ready to respond." ”

I saw the dark sentry at the gate and said: "I have an urgent military intelligence report from the Tartars, please switch it quickly!" ”

Geng Yue, who was closed, said: "It's your own person, why don't you put down the suspension bridge quickly?" ”

Ming Jun, who was in charge of guarding the winch, said: "This is not in accordance with the rules, it is strictly forbidden to open and close it without permission at night, and if there is intelligence, just put the hanging basket down." ”

Seeing that this person refused to cooperate, Geng Yue said: "Yu Guerrilla, why did you come? ”

As soon as the man wanted to turn around and report the situation to Yu Hualong, he was covered by Geng Yue's mouth and nose, and then gave a knife.

As the winch was pushed, the drawbridge was finally slowly lowered.

Then the gates of the city were slowly opened.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji said excitedly: "The warriors rushed in and took Nanguan directly!" ”
