Although the killing of Li Yongfang made Jianzhou's rebellion against the Ming high-level almost stagnant, after Huang Taiji took over the espionage work, the infiltration of Liaodong continued.

Geng Yue is a more important card in his hand, but a small trick can always open Nanguan, and even he didn't expect it.

He knew that such an opportunity was fleeting, so he urged the army to enter the city almost as soon as the gates opened.

Their hiding place was less than 200 paces away from the city pass, which was a fleeting distance for the cavalry.

The excited Eight Banners soldiers waved their whips desperately, but they noticed that something was wrong.

The city gate, which had been half-opened, suddenly stopped moving, and there were shouts of killing from inside the gate.

Mao Wenlong, as the general of Nanguan, knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and more and more troops were transferred to Nanguan by the Ming Dynasty, and now this battle has evolved into a decisive battle between the two sides.

I am fortunate to be the protagonist of this big battle, and I must make good use of this opportunity.

Very excited, he woke up after sleeping for more than 2 hours.

After all, he was still relieved of the situation in Nanguan, so he took a team of people to inspect the pass.

As soon as he walked under the Nanguan City Gate, he found that Geng Yue was asking people to open the door.

Mao Wenlong felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't open and close the door late at night, you don't want to stop quickly!" ”

Geng Yue didn't expect to encounter a spoiler at a critical time, but at this moment, he was already ready to send it.

While hinting to his henchmen with his eyes to continue to switch on, he said: "It turned out that it was Mao's guerrilla, and Yu Guerrilla ordered me to go out of the city to patrol, so I switched it off." ”

Mao Wenlong found that the steel knife in Geng Yue's hand was about to be unsheathed, which was obviously about to be done!

So he said: "I see, Ben is just thinking about going to the city to inspect, so I won't bother you to get out." ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong say this, Geng Yue's hanging heart finally fell.

But he didn't want Mao Wenlong to just take the opportunity to turn around and pull out the knife, and when he turned around, he slashed directly at his shoulder.

Mao Wenlong shouted: "Those who open and close the door without permission in the middle of the night will not be killed, and you should not stop quickly." ”

Seeing that his subordinates were a little hesitant, Geng Yue shouted: "Brothers, Ronghua and Wealth are here, switch." ”

Capture the thief and capture the king first, Mao Wenlong hurriedly attacked Geng Yue one after another, Geng Yue, who was already injured, couldn't resist it, and his head was cut off after two moves.

The leaderless rebels immediately surrendered on their knees, and Mao Wenlong's men hurriedly closed the city gates, and finally lowered the bolt before the Tartars arrived.

At this time, the alarm bell that was closed was also sounded, and soon the sound of fire guns sounded.

When the guerrilla Yu Hualong learned that Geng Yue was trying to open Nanguan, he was really taken aback, and quickly asked people to pull up the suspension bridge again.

Yan Mingtai, who came to hear the news, was also shocked into a cold sweat.

This scene is too dangerous, if it weren't for Mao Wenlong's timely arrival, I am afraid that Nanguan has fallen.

Soon he ordered Yu Hualong to remove the men and horses from Nanguan and conduct a careful investigation.

Fortunately, most of Geng Yue's henchmen have been killed, and he does not have too many henchmen in the army, and dozens of people in question have been temporarily imprisoned.

Huang Taiji, who was outside the gate, saw the door closed again, and had to sigh: "For the nine mountains and nine thousands, the success is in vain!" ”

Then he reluctantly chose to retreat.

Nurhachi still gave great expectations for this night attack on Nanguan, and even all the banners were on standby in the camp, ready to enter the customs and plunder at any time.

The result was nothing but empty joy, which further hit morale.

Dai Shan said: "This attack on Kaiyuan is a key battle for my Dajin to regain the initiative, and now although the Ming army has received support, there are more than 3,000 people in Nanguan, and the firearms it relies on have been damaged. ”

"Now that the new siege equipment has been built, I suggest breaking the level overnight to avoid too many dreams at night."

According to the information sent by Geng Yue before, the Ming troops on the two roads of Kaiyuan Tieling are coming one after another, and they really can't delay it any longer.

Nurhachi said: "Take the lead with the blue flag and attack Guangshun Pass overnight,"

"After breaking the pass, the flags are free to plunder and open the way."

Hearing the "free plunder", they instantly came to their senses, thinking about the scene of the attack on Fushun last year, they cast greedy eyes towards Guangshun Pass.

Zilharang said: "Great Khan rest assured, the Ming army is not more than 3,000 people now, and the blue flag will definitely be broken in an hour!" ”

Now that the ugly time has not passed, they still can't see their fingers, but these can't stop these Jurchens from being greedy for Kaiyuan's wealth!

They cautiously pushed the cart towards Guangshun Pass.

Due to the attack of the Tartars just now, neither Yan Mingtai nor Mao Wenlong was in the mood to sleep anymore at this moment.

They all knew that since the sneak attack failed, the next Jianyu would definitely have to forcibly break through.

It's just that they never thought that the Tartars would take advantage of the night to seize the pass.

After all, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, and there is no moonlight to rely on, so it is very difficult to attack the city in this environment.

Due to the lack of vitamin A, people in this era have some night blindness.

The best sources of vitamin A are carrots, dairy products, meat, and organ meat, as well as some leafy greens.

From this list, it is not difficult to see that the nomadic Mongols and the Jurchens who were born in hunting had many more channels for vitamin A intake than the Ming people.

Carrots are still a scarce foreign product, and the people of Daming can only obtain a small amount of vitamin A through some wild vegetables.

It is for this reason that there are very few forced sieges that actually take place at night.

But now that the Tartars have chosen to fight at night, the Ming army has to be forced to fight.

The current situation is very unfavorable for the Ming army.

The Ming army could only shoot with the help of the light of torches, and the hit rate was very low.

However, the Tartars' bows and arrows can accurately shoot at the head of the city, and they are also more likely to hit the target by shooting blindly.

Soon the blue flag had already advanced to the bottom of the city and began to climb the ladder to the city.

At this time, the Ming army's gravel and rolling wood began to exert their power, and these things did not need to look at the target, just smash them down.

The screams of the Tartars are a description of the effect.

In fact, the siege at night caused inconvenience to both sides, the speed of climbing with the blue flag was very slow, and from time to time someone fell down because of stepping on an empty ladder.

For the besieging side, the efficiency of climbing determines the success rate of the siege, and the slower the delivery, the more difficult it is to take the city.

Soon Zilharang found that although the Ming army's guns and artillery brought much less damage to him, he could not attack it.

Soldiers with blue flags were often assassinated by several Ming soldiers as soon as they reached the city walls.

This is Mao Wenlong shouting: "Yan Jian Army can't go on like this, although the Tartars can't gain a firm foothold in the city, but their bows and arrows are too damaging to us!" ”

Without the effective targeted strikes of tiger squat cannons and firearms, the Tartar archers under the city threw bows and arrows almost unscrupulously at the city.

Although their accuracy was also poor at night, the large number of bows and arrows still caused a lot of casualties to the Ming army.

In desperation, the Ming army had to throw out the canister of oil.

Zilharang was helpless about this, but they did not retreat, but waited for the fire to recede.

After all, these oils also have a limited amount of time to burn.

Nanguan once again caught fire in Nurhachi's expectations, anyway, he had already made people build countless chariots and ladders, he did not believe that the Ming army's fire oil was infinite.

There was a wave of melee at night, and after a while, the Ming army lost more than 500 people, and more were shot by the bows and arrows under the city.

In fact, Yan Mingtai's use of fire oil so quickly is nothing more than two purposes, one is that it is already late now, and it will start to dawn after holding on for a while.

Second, the reinforcements of the Ming army should have been very close to Nanguan, and this fire was like a huge beacon to inform them to hurry up and reinforce the troops.

Soon after, the fire under the city gradually went out.

Once again, the soldiers with blue flags set up ladders and began to attack the city.

The stones on the city were consumed quickly, and the Ming army had begun to use the three-eyed gun to start attacking the blue flag under the city at close range.

The two sides once again fought fiercely on the city, and the sound of fighting and the clash of weapons resounded through the city pass.

After all, it's already May, and the dawn time is about to start much earlier, the sun is finally starting to shine through the clouds, and the darkness is gradually dissipating.

The archers with blue flags, who had been hiding in the night, began to reveal their location gradually.

The city's tiger cannons were finally starting to wield their might, and the dense formation of the archers paid their price, and many of the archers who had been hit by the lead wailed in pain on the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The Ming army's firecrackers are also constantly harvesting the blue flags under the city, and everything is back to the familiar rhythm of the Ming army.

At this time, the Blue Banner suffered considerable casualties, and the battle for more than an hour cost them nearly 2,000 deaths.

But these did not deter Zilharang, presumably the Ming army was already very tired at this moment.

He is not reckless Gurtai, he likes to put all the strongest white swing tooth horns in the first wave, and once he can't take it down, he will lose the top soldiers.

Zilharang knew that the time had come for the final word, and the three hundred of the most elite of the Blue Banner were soon involved in the siege.

Their participation immediately broke the original balance of power, and these "monsters" wearing several layers of armor killed many Ming troops as soon as they came up.

Mao Wenlong, who was already covered in blood, also secretly complained to himself, most of the armored soldiers who opened the original road were transferred to the assault camp by Li Xianzhong, and the armor rate of other troops was very low, so they couldn't stop these Tartars at all.

Originally, they all used the three-eyed gun to directly replace a wave of the opponent's armor elite when the Tartars first attacked the city, but this time the Tartars did not play according to the routine, and actually left the elites for later use.

Mao Wenlong was still violent, and the big knife in his hand kept slashing the surrounding Tartars. But the comrades-in-arms around him are constantly falling, and most of the five hundred brothers he brought from Sanyang have died in battle at this moment.

Although the Tartars had killed the city many times, this was the most dangerous one.

The musketeers on the tower of the city gate tower and the enemy no longer shoot the tartars under the city, but instead shoot the blue flags on the city, and even the gunners on the city have picked up the three-eyed guns and are ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

Everyone realized that Nanguan was about to be overwhelmed.
