Chapter 1006: Storming the Great Victory Pass

King Wu's throne sounds really tempting, but Zhu Yujiao knows very well that it is very cost-effective to exchange a false name for Wu Zheng's support.

Zhu Yujiao used the lord of Wu Wang to appease Wu Zhengyi, and then used Wu Zhengyi's family to contain the interior.

This hand was indeed played so beautifully that even Zodiac Zhou could not continue to oppose it.

Zhu Yujiao was really tired, and she planned to go back to the palace to rest for a while.

But at this time, Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule came together, which shocked her heart and cheered her up.

Because Qian Sule left, in order to inform Wu Zhenghui, he found the news of the edict in the emperor's bedroom.

So at this time, Qian Sule came back, but Wu Zheng didn't come, which naturally brought Wu Zheng's attitude.

Wu Zheng's attitude is very important!

However, when Qian Sule spoke, Zhu Yujiao realized that she had guessed wrong.

"Your Highness......."

Wang Yi immediately came out to stop Qian Sule and said, "The court has decided, and it is ordered to support His Majesty's accession to the throne, and the enthronement ceremony will be held after the Qin Tianjian chooses an auspicious day...... Taifu, please change your words. ”

Qian Sule was silent, bowed down and changed his words: "Your Majesty, the minister has received a report from Lihaiwei that the Qing court has sent an envoy to Yizhen, as long as our DPRK agrees to an armistice and peace talks, the mission can cross the river at any time." ”

This news made almost all the officials smile, and it was finally time to stop fighting.

On the second day of the outbreak of the war at the beginning of the month, the Qing army broke through the aftermath of Jinchuan Gate, which had been making them secretly afraid, and now, they were finally relieved.

So, there was not even a single opponent, and everyone unanimously agreed to negotiate an armistice.

Zhu Yujiao is the same, she is greatly relieved, the Qing army in the northwest direction, like a sword hanging over her head, may fall at any time, the Yixing Dynasty can no longer afford to fight, and if it continues, I am afraid that if the Qing army is not attacked, the court itself should be dispersed.

No one objected, and it was decided to quickly inform the Qing delegation in Jiangbei and agree to armistice negotiations.

At this moment, a messenger sent by Wu Zheng arrived in time.

After arguing with encouragement, Zhu Yujiao stood on the side of Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule.

finally postponed the day by one day.

……。

In the early morning of June 13.

Under the personal command of Wu Zheng, the combined forces of Lihaiwei, Jingwei, and Jianyangwei launched an attack on Dasheng Pass.

The strength of the three guards is actually not superior.

Jingwei and Jianyangwei are all remnants after being closed, adding up to only six or seven thousand people.

Only Lihaiwei is organized.

The great victory over the Qing army was as high as more than 20,000 people, and it relied on the strong pass.

But Wu Zheng had no choice, from the moment he judged that Dolgon wanted to bluff and promote peace with war, Wu Zheng made up his mind that he must gnaw the hard bone of the big victory.

Otherwise, the next negotiations will fall into an extremely passive passivity, the big victory pass is under the nose of Ying Tianfu's eyes, once after the armistice, it has not been withdrawn, then the Yixing Dynasty is afraid that there will not be a day of peace, and if you want to take it back, you have to make concessions at the negotiation table.

This concession is likely to be the price that Wu Zheng cannot follow, although Yangzhou Mansion is also a heavy tax area, but for the Qing court, the threat is still far away, unlike the big victory to Ying Tianfu, which will be reached in one day.

Wu Zheng originally wanted Wang Yilin to lead the remnants of the water division to cross the water from the west, outflank the back of Dasheng Pass, and fight a battle of annihilation against Nikan's department, at least to destroy the enemy's living forces as much as possible, so as to reduce the pressure in the direction of Jiangpu in the future.

But Wang Yilin's categorical refusal, so that Wu Zheng had no choice but to give up the encirclement, to defeat and force the Qing army back, as long as the victory is recovered, then there is the initiative to negotiate, let a small step, Wu Zheng can also reluctantly accept.

The imperial court had agreed to negotiate an armistice, so time was running out for a day.

From the very beginning, the battle was a battle to the death.

The Ming army is a tired division, and Li Haiwei has just fought a battle of recovery under the command of Chen Sheng, retaking the positions lost yesterday.

In fact, the Qing army was not much better, after yesterday afternoon, they were almost beaten by the Ming army, and fled for dozens of miles, but their advantage was the solidity of the Great Victory Pass.

In fact, Lihaiwei's musket fire was lethal in front of the strong city walls, and unless any of the Qing soldiers was unlucky enough to get home, they would be hit.

The only thing that can threaten the enemy on the pass is the "mortar" that can be fired in a curved way.

However, the lethality of the "mortar" is okay in field battles, and the power of attacking the enemy at the pass is greatly reduced.

After several rounds of strong attacks were forced back by the Qing army, paying nearly a thousand casualties, and returning in vain.

Wu Zheng finally gritted his teeth and made a choice to blow up the pass wall!

This decision has always existed in Wu Zheng's mind, but Wu Zheng is really reluctant in his heart, it is easy to blow up the pass, and the waste of time to rebuild the waste, and the imperial court does not have the financial resources to repair it in the short term, which may form a hidden danger of defense.

But now, Wu Zheng is forced to have no choice, and it is better to blow it up than to let Dashengguan become a bargaining chip for the Qing court at the negotiating table.

It's not that the negotiation can't be delayed, but in fact, whether it is the Yixing court or Wu Zheng himself, he can't fight anymore, the supply of grain and grass can still be supported, the key is ammunition and silver, and the defense of the troops is okay, but as soon as he crosses the river, he obviously shows fatigue, like the end of a strong crossbow, which is also the reason why Wu Zheng chose to go on the defensive in Jiangbei after defeating the Khalchuhun army, because if he advances further north, the three armies with a total of 20,000 people will be difficult to care about.

Therefore, choosing to cease the war at this time is the common demand of the three parties.

However, Wu Zheng still considered the difficulty of repairing the city wall, and set the bombing point on the east side of the Dasheng Pass, that is, on the side of Ying Tianfu, so that the west side still has a defensive function.

The Ming army temporarily built a three-zhang high platform 200 steps outside the city wall, and rolled three sealed powder kegs weighing hundreds of pounds that had been lit along the ramp to the city wall.

In an instant, with three dull loud bangs, the city wall was blasted open a gap.

The power of this explosion, not to mention the Qing soldiers around the city wall, even the Ming soldiers three hundred steps away, were also shaken down by the shaking of the earth, and even the high platform that had just been built collapsed in the shock of the explosion.

Wu Zheng seized this rare opportunity, because the Qing army had not had time to react.

As a result, the Ming army poured into the gap in the city wall within time.

This can be considered a breakthrough, but it is only a breakthrough.

The Qing army's strength of more than 20,000 troops was gathered at Dasheng Pass, and its strength density had reached an unimaginable level.

Although the Qing troops in the radius of the explosion site were almost either killed or wounded, the Qing troops who came to their senses quickly gathered from all sides of the gap.

The Ming army was responsible for this assault led by Chen Shengsuo, and the remnants of Jingwei and Jianyangwei had suffered heavy casualties in several strong attacks before the explosion, which was not enough to continue to serve as a spearhead.
