Hearing that Jianyu poured out of the nest, Li Xianzhong immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

It seems that this time he was too self-willed, and he originally thought that Jianyu was attacking Ye He to set himself up and encircle the point to send reinforcements, but he didn't expect Nurhachi to actually set his sights on Kaiyuan.

Historically, Houjin didn't finish recuperating until June, but I didn't expect them to advance it by a whole month when they suffered such a big loss.

Today's situation is completely different, and the "God's perspective" of oneself as a traverser sometimes not only fails to help oneself, but is prone to misjudgment.

This sweep of Horqin can definitely be regarded as an unprecedented bumper harvest, but it can't make up for the loss of Kaiyuan Road being swept by Jianyu.

Li Xianzhong, who is good at sneaking up on other people's nests, finally tasted the bitter fruits of his nest being attacked by others this time.

Wanli decreed that he would give marriage, and his marriage with Ye He was well known, but sure enough, he was calculated by the old slave.

Although all the men and horses of Kaiyuan Road can rush to Guangshun Pass within one day, the five thousand cavalry at the core of Kaiyuan Road have already been brought out by themselves.

The rest of these forces have to face the full attack of the Tartars, which is really enough.

Fortunately, Yan Mingtai and Xiong Tingbi were in charge in person, otherwise with the guerrilla ability of several generals under his command, he would not be able to cope with this complicated situation at all.

But even if he throws away his treasure and returns lightly, it will take more than a day to return to Kaiyuan at the earliest, and I don't know if Guangshun Pass can withstand the attack of the captives for two or three days?

At this time, the situation was rapidly calculating in his mind, and it was obvious that he would not be able to sneak up on Hetuara again this time.

One is that he has had the experience of stealing his house twice, and it is impossible for the old slave not to leave enough soldiers and horses to defend Hetuala.

The second is the problem of distance, going to Hetuara is at least one day longer than rescuing Kaiyuan, and he can't go far and near.

At present, I have to quickly return to this way.

Zaisai was also very nervous when he heard about this change, as he had only annexed most of the Manggus tribe and had not eliminated their main force.

Not even Manggus himself was caught.

After sweeping the Horqin camp according to the original plan, he and Li Xianzhong set up an ambush to encircle and annihilate the Horqin cavalry that had returned to support.

In this way, he will be able to consume the captured troops with peace of mind.

Now this sudden change has made his whole plan fall through.

Without Li Xianzhong's support, it was a big question whether he would be able to bring these captured subordinates back to his camp safely.

However, he still gritted his teeth and said: "General Li, I am willing to send a thousand cavalry to help you return to the division!" ”

Li Xianzhong knew that at this time, Zai Sai was willing to send a thousand troops, which was already a great risk.

said: "The leader of Zaisai has helped him this time, and he will remember his loyalty. ”

Fortunately, now that there are plenty of war horses, Li Xianzhong left 500 Liaodong Iron Cavalry Palace, responsible for escorting the baggage and capture of the whole army.

He led 4,500 cavalry to Kaiyuan.

At this time, Guangshun Pass was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the city was full of corpses of soldiers on both sides.

Many still have the anger and pain of the battle on their faces, and their hands are still holding their weapons in their hands.

Blood flowed from the corpse's wounds, staining the walls a blood-red color.

The surviving soldiers in the city leaned directly against the pile of corpses, gasping for air.

If it weren't for the heavy breathing, they wouldn't be much different from the corpses next to them at this moment.

There was a smell of blood everywhere in the air, and some of the young men who carried the corpses still had a strong feeling of vomiting.

Mao Wenlong, who was covered in blood, walked to the side of Yan Mingtai, the prison army, and said softly: "Qi Yan Jian army, the Tartars have finally retreated, and there are still about 2,000 soldiers in Nanguan who can fight. ”

"There are still more than 300 firearms that can be used, and the lead and fierce fire oil of the tiger squat cannon have been exhausted."

Mao Wenlong's words did not continue, Yan Mingtai understood what he meant, if Jianyu launched another charge, they would only be able to repay the country with death.

In just one day, nearly 5,000 Ming troops were killed in Nanguan, the guerrilla general Liu Dayu was killed in battle, the garrison He Maoguan was seriously injured, and the rest of the Ming generals were also wounded.

He knew that the soldiers and horses on the Kaiyuan and Tieling roads had almost been emptied, and there were still some troops stationed at the important passes of Beiguan and Xiguan, and there was no longer a single reinforcement to be sent.

Even Li Xianzhong's private soldiers, such as Ping Yuwei, have all gone to the battlefield.

Just when Yan Mingtai was at a loss, he found that Zhang Wenshan, the governor of Kaiyuan, had actually brought more than a thousand heavily armed soldiers to the city tower.

At this time, Zhang Wenshan put on a battle jacket on his official uniform, which looked a little nondescript.

However, he said with a serious face in his hand: "The lower official has selected 1,500 people from the two thousand young men he brought, and now they have changed into battle jackets, picked up weapons, and can meet the enemy at any time." ”

Although it is a matter of driving sheep and feeding tigers to let these untrained civilians go to the battlefield to meet the enemy, there is no other way at this time.

The gate was already a scorched earth, and looking at the blazing ladder, Dai Shan was full of anger.

Mang Gurtai on the side said with relief: "It seems that this Guangshun Pass can't be taken today, so let's collect our troops." ”

The firearms of the Ming army were extremely fierce today, and the archers of the two red flags who were directly pressed retreated one after another.

The Eight Banners, lacking the blessing of bows and arrows, encountered stubborn resistance from the Ming army during the siege, although they went to Guangshun Pass several times in succession.

But at critical moments, the Ming army set fire to the city. Although the number of people who were burned to death was very limited, the raging fire burned the ladder of the siege and prevented the follow-up troops from ascending the city.

As a result, the ascending troops in the city were unable to follow, and were finally killed by the Ming army, and their attacks became intermittent and could not continue to put pressure on the Ming army in the city.

This kind of battle made Dai Shan very depressed, but he was helpless.

After paying the price of 3,000 and a half killed, the two red flags still failed to break through Nanguan.

In the end, he almost squeezed the word "retreat" out of his teeth.

This time, even Nurhachi himself had to consider withdrawing his troops, and after the two blue flags were disabled yesterday, the two red flags were abolished today.

Coupled with the loss of the earliest white flag, the number of soldiers and horses lost in the Eight Banners has already been 9,000.

This is unbearable for today's Eight Flags.

Huang Taiji said: "The Ming army from Shenyang is led by Li Huaizhong, deputy commander-in-chief of Shenyang, and will arrive at Guangshun Pass at noon tomorrow at the latest, leaving us with little time to break through." ”

"In addition, the Ming army on Qinghe Road has also been dispatched, and the Ming army stationed at Yahu Pass is attacking Wuji Pass; Another group of thousands of white pole soldiers is marching towards Kuandian Fort, and we have hardly sent anyone to stay behind, and Kuandian should have fallen into the hands of the Ming army at this moment.

Huang Taiji's words caused great uneasiness among everyone.

Even Mang Gurtai, who has always been the main battle, thinks that it is time to retreat!

Annoyed and angry, Dai Shan said: "Great Khan, Hetuara is guarded by Yue Tuo's red flag, and it is impossible for the Ming army to break through. ”

"At this time, there is not much left of the Ming army on Nanguan, and we must not give up the attack and miss this great opportunity."

"I ask that the elite of the two yellow flags be dispatched directly tomorrow, and be sure to take Nanguan before the arrival of the Ming army's reinforcements."

Finally, he exclaimed, "The blood of the warriors must not be shed in vain!" ”

At this time, Huang Taiji said: "Guangshun Pass is naturally going to be attacked, and tomorrow Da Beile can continue to lead the troops to feint Guangshun Pass." ”

"I expect that at this time, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Kaiyuan should have been concentrated in Guangshun Pass, and other places must be empty of troops."

"Du Du's inlaid white flag is defending Li Xianzhong's reinforcements in the north of Daying, not far from Zhenbei Pass, which can make him build a siege ladder on the spot to attack Zhenbei Pass."

There are only 15 cattle under the white flag led by Du Du, and now there are less than 3,000 people in total.

In peacetime, it would be almost impossible to storm a well-defended Ming border pass with this little force.

Now the main force of Zhenbei Pass has been taken by the guerrilla Liu Dayu to support Nanguan, and only 800 Ming troops are left on the pass.

At this time, they had already taken advantage of the night to touch the outside of the gate.

Although there are not many Ming troops on the pass, it is unrealistic to take advantage of the night to capture the pass, but it is a great opportunity to take the opportunity to fill in the trench.

Soon, a group of soldiers with white flags held high and shields touched the front of the pass.

Then, unsurprisingly, the trap before the level was triggered.

Some of the soldiers with white flags fell directly into the trap in front of the pass.

The huge sound directly alarmed the Ming army on the gate, and the soldiers defending the city hurriedly rang the alarm bell on the gate.

General Liu Hope is currently the guard of Zhenbei Pass, and when he heard that Jianyu was stealing the pass, he hurriedly summoned all the people to close it immediately.

The night guard soldier said: "The trap outside the city has been triggered, and we have heard the screams of the Tartars, and they must have come to steal the pass." ”

Liu hoped to use the light of this torch to find that there were indeed many figures in front of him, and it seemed that they wanted to fill in the trench at night.

However, he didn't dare to act rashly at this time, so he had to order the soldiers to release arrows to the city, and on the other hand, he sent people to Kaiyuan City and Nanguan to report the emergency military situation!

The sky was slightly bright, and Du Du couldn't wait to launch an attack on Chengguan.

I saw countless soldiers with white flags set up ladders quickly rushing towards the city pass.

Liu hoped to quickly command the soldiers to throw rocks and logs under the city to prevent the enemy from landing on the city.

But the 800 people in the city were too few, and after a while, those white swing teeth with white flags rushed to the head of the north pass of the town.

The Ming army on the pass was not the main force, and they did not flinch at this time, but bravely fought with the enemy.

But they are not the opponents of these armor and white flags at all, and many of them have been killed by the other party just by looking at their faces.

After a while, the white flag was placed under the control of Zhenbei Pass, and Liu Hope, who could not resist, had to lead a few subordinates to withdraw from Guancheng.

With a loud sound, the suspension bridge on the gate fell heavily, and at this time Du Duzhi walked into the north pass of the town proudly.
