Chapter 71: The Bloody Battle at Shanhaiguan (1)

At 4 o'clock in the morning on July 15, when people are most sleepy in the day, Shanhaiguan looks exceptionally calm from a distance.

Twenty miles outside the Shanhai Pass, heavy troops pressed the border, and under the faint moonlight, from time to time there was a cold light flashing in the armor, and the war horses snorted.

"Brother Ji'erharang, the appointed time has come, has Wu Sangui, the dog minion, repented?"

At the moment of the second cavalry of the Chinese army, the general of Dingguo, who had just turned thirty years old, and the prince of Yu Duoduo asked Jierharang next to him anxiously.

This surprise attack on Shanhaiguan is a long-planned plan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, since Zu Dashou surrendered them, Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan has been vain and wrongful to them for two years, neither fighting nor surrendering.

It seems to be relying on the Manchu Tartars, as long as the Tartars are there, the court will not dare to touch him.

And Shanhaiguan is like an impassable fence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has never been breached for decades, and even if you want to go to the Guannai to fight the autumn wind, you have to make a detour to the Mongols.

But half a month ago, Wu Sangui suddenly sent his henchmen to contact Duoduo, intending to open and close the city, which made the Tartars mutter.

Not long after Huang Taiji was hanged, the Manchu Qing had just experienced a bloody power struggle, and Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge and his fourteenth brother Dolgon, who were the most promising to become the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, did not succeed.

In the end, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, who was obviously inferior to the two sides, was cheaper, because Fulin was young, so that the two sides could continue to hold the military power.

Wu Sangui's surrender made both sides excited, but the always cautious Zilharang felt that something was wrong.

He heard that a strange man had recently appeared in the Northern Barbarian Chongzhen Dynasty, who single-handedly rushed into the enemy camp with a strange firearm, and not only shot and killed Li Zicheng, the leader of the breaking army, with lightning speed.

also calmly fled from the enemy camp, causing the army to fall short, and even more so that they lost the easiest opportunity to surrender Wu Sangui.

When the army besieged the city, Wu Sangui was still weak and wrong, and now the Northern Barbarians are still stable, why did they suddenly descend again?

Zilharang supported Hauge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and even though the regent Dolgon did not deal with him, he still sent someone to investigate.

Corruption was rife in the Ming court, and Dolgon found out the reason without much effort, and learned that it was the imperial court investigating the corruption of the border army, Wu Sangui couldn't sit still, so he claimed that as long as he was named the king with a different surname, he would switch and surrender.

Dolgon couldn't help but applaud, not to mention one king, even both! This Chongzhen old dog is really a god assist!

Originally, Dolgon was going to send a large army to snowball over directly, but Wu Sangui is not stupid, I am especially on the border army, if the border army is opened, it will be crushed by you, what will Lao Tzu do with you.

So Wu Sangui racked his brains to come up with the previous plan, and Dolgon was okay when he heard it, not only could he enter the pass, but he could also get another dog minion's troops, and he just entered the pass and let him play the striker.

Fighting the city of dog minions with the soldiers of dog minions could not be more comfortable.

After that, it was to arrange manpower, and of course everyone wanted to take the first credit for entering the customs, and in the end the dispute had to send one on both sides, Hauge's side was led by Zilharan, and Dorgon's side was led by his brother Dord.

The two led a total of 35,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Menghan, including 10,000 of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, 5,000 of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and 20,000 of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

This is already a large army for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you must know that the entire Manchu Qing plus the Manchu, Mongolian, Han Eight Banners and the rest of the traitor miscellaneous army, plus the banners and foreign vassals, the total is less than 150,000, of which the most elite Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners are only 60,000.

There is no way, there are more than 400,000 people in the entire Manchu clan, and these 60,000 people are already the limit, but fortunately, there are traitors and dog slaves to work hard, so that they will not fight for their own people.

Otherwise, just their own people, even more than one million soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stood in line, and it is estimated that they would have to cut for ten days and half a month.

Zilharang is Nurhachi's nephew, who has lived in Nurhachi's palace since he was a child, and was raised by Nurhachi, so much so that he has military power in his hands.

But he was very dissatisfied with the Duoduo around him, first of all, not to mention the camp problem, just this character, too irritable, he could fight with his master Hauge, although on the surface he was the leader of this army.

However, Duoduo was slightly higher than him in terms of blood and title, and he was still the general of Dingguo, Zilharang frowned, he was a little worried that this guy would not listen to the command.

"Prince Yu, don't worry, isn't there still a quarter of an hour? Let's ...... a little bit."

"Report! The gate of Shanhaiguan has been opened! A Han herald came running from the direction of Shanhaiguan and interrupted Zilharang's words.

"Dog minion! I didn't see that the king was deliberating, there were no rules, and I went to the back camp to get the twenty boards! Made! Zilharang lost his temper.

"Brother Hugh! The door is open, let's go! ”

Duoduo rubbed his hands, a little excited, he hadn't fought for half a year, he was simply suffocated, in his opinion, a man except to kill on horseback, is to applaud on the bed.

Especially the young lady of the Hannu official's family, that is called a water spirit, and the more the chick struggles, the more excited he becomes.

Shanhaiguan was like a dog cage, a pack of vicious dogs couldn't wait to prey, and now, the door opened.

Zilharang didn't say much, waved his big hand and moved the whole army forward, and when it was about a mile away from Shanhaiguan, Zilharang raised his hand again and signaled the troops to stop.

The silhouette of Shanhaiguan can be vaguely seen in the distance, majestic and tall, allowing them to look up for nearly a hundred years.

But Shanhaiguan is too quiet, and the darkness is terrifying, it stands to reason that even in normal times, torches are lit at night, which makes the always cautious Zilharang mutter.

"Zilharang, I want to take the first credit, don't rob this king!"

Shanhaiguan was in front of him, and the open door was like a little girl from an official family who had taken off her clothes, which made Duoduo excited, and seeing that Zilharang did not speak, Duoduo thought that he was thinking about how to win his first credit.

He himself has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and he is naturally no match for his cousin Zilharang when he plays small tricks, so he can't help but be anxious.

"Duoduo, don't want this first meritorious brother, let alone rob you, it's really strange, you see if Shanhaiguan is too abnormal!"

Jilharang pointed to the Shanhaiguan in the black hole in the distance, and said depressedly, he is the leader of this army, if the first merit is given to Duoduo, the first merit won is someone else's, if it is really a fraud, he will be trapped, and he will have to carry the pot.

This is really painful, why should I come to this troubled water, it is better not to come, alas! Wretch!

"Xu is Minggou scared?" Duoduo lifted the handle of the knife and frowned, saying that it was really difficult for him to guess this, he was only good at killing and plundering.

The two of them can't help it, originally Zilharang wanted to send his subordinate Sony to go, Sony is alert, even if there is fraud in the pass, there is a chance to escape, but look at Duoduo like this, alas, forget it.

"I think it's better to send the Han Eight Banners Kong Youde Department to explore the truth first!" Zilharan thought for a moment and said to the restless Duoduo.

Duoduo also knew that he didn't have any strategy, although he didn't know if Zilharang did it on purpose, but thinking that Kong Youde was neither his direct nor his descendant, he agreed.

Kong Youde, one of the three Shun kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the general of Mao Wenlong on Phi Island, after Mao Shuai was overshadowed by Yuan Du, he defected to Denglai with a group of subordinates, plundered everywhere, and was recruited by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and then rebelled until he surrendered to the Manchu Tartars.

Like Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, he was born in mining, a soldier and one of the four major lackeys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After receiving the order, Kong Youde came with a few personal soldiers, dismounted, and knelt under his master's horse.

"Slave Kong Youde knocks on the two princes!"

"Dog minion, it's cheap for you, take your minions to this king to take down the Shanhaiguan, if there is a mistake, this king will destroy your entire clan!" Before Zilharan could explain, Dodor yelled first.

Zilharang didn't care much about Duoduo's insult to the Han army, on their side, those who dared to call themselves slaves were generally heads and faces, and Zilharang immediately explained Kong Youde in detail.

"Hey, the slave has to be ordered, and the slave will take the master to take this Shanhaiguan!" Kong Youde kowtowed and said flattering words.

"Get out!" There was a fire in Dord's heart that couldn't be released, and it was simply uncomfortable to let him kill or let him applaud his love.

After getting the military order of the Manchu master, Kong Youde greedily licked his chapped lips, Ma De, the first merit was actually given to Lao Tzu?

It's really shit luck!
