A mile away from Shanhaiguan, several rows of Chuyang cannons were ready for launch. With a roar of artillery fired, dozens of shells smashed into the city.

The defenders who were hiding heard the sound of artillery but did not feel the city wall being hit, and were about to laugh at the Changxing army when there was a whistling sound overhead.

Heavy cannonballs slammed down on the castle with a sharp whistling sound, which immediately made the strong walls tremble slightly.

A 36-pound cannonball smashed into the wall, and the masonry on the wall shattered in all directions. Thin cracks began to spread from the point where the cannonballs landed, and before the spread was over, another cannonball fell on the city wall, expanding the cracks a little.

Under the bombardment of the early sun cannon, the small number of defenders who were still left at the head of the city also had to withdraw from the city. The heavy artillery fire made it impossible to leave the city without a single person, and the flying bricks and stones were enough to sweep the city head.

Dozens of early sun cannons attacked Shanhaiguan for a while, and even Qiu Hejia under the city could feel the tremors of the ground under his feet.

Is Shanhaiguan really impregnable? For the first time in his heart, this kind of thought was born, did this Xiongcheng, which had resisted the invasion of foreign enemies countless times, really fall under the artillery fire of the Changxing army?

Not only did he, the governor, imagine this, but even the defenders in the city kept retreating. The power of the artillery fire was terrifying, and occasionally a cannonball smashed over the walls into the city.

Looking at the iron balls that had been dug in the ground and bounced high, the defenders' hearts were cold.

I don't know how long it took for such a bombardment, and suddenly there was a slight sound on the city wall. "Click!" The sound seemed to cut the hearts of the defenders, and everyone looked at the stormy city wall.

"Look there! The walls are cracked! I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and in the midst of the uproar, all eyes were on the city walls.

"I saw it too! Right! It's just on the right side there! ”

Now everyone saw clearly, the originally strong city wall actually cracked a crack.

Moreover, this gap was constantly expanding under the shelling of the Changxing army, spreading like a spider web to the entire city wall.

"Quick! Prepare sandbags and be ready to block the walls at any time! Shanhaiguan must not be breached, and this official vows to live and die with Guancheng! Qiu Hejia didn't wait for the soldiers to discuss, and gave orders loudly.

His order caused the somewhat panicked defenders to find their backbone, and they all moved into action to prepare sandbags.

Originally, in order to resist the invasion of the enemy, Shanhaiguan prepared sand and gravel to block the city gate. At this moment, these things came in handy, and the soldiers in the city immediately moved to prepare to block the walls.

As the cannonballs continued to fall, the cracks in the walls grew larger and larger, and with a dull sound, the strong walls collapsed with a bang.

This Xiongcheng, which has the first pass in the world, was finally breached after a day of artillery bombardment, and the moment the city wall collapsed, Qiu Hejia immediately ordered the soldiers to plug the gap.

Groups of defenders rushed to the gap against the sandbags and stones, and as the sandbags gradually increased, the gap was finally sealed by the defenders.

What made Qiu Hejia more strange was that the Changxing army only collapsed the city wall, and did not immediately attack the city after the city wall fell, and even the artillery fire stopped.

Until the wall of Shanhaiguan was repaired, the Changxing army did not attack. In Qiu Hejia's puzzlement, the Changxing army turned around and returned to the camp, and an incomprehensible siege ended hastily.

But the next day, Qiu Hejia was shocked again, and the Changxing army appeared under Shanhaiguan City again.

This time, after the Changxing Army directly used artillery to collapse the gap blocked by the defenders yesterday, it still collected its troops and returned to the camp.

After a few times, the defenders of Shanhaiguan were already numb, and they were soon to be tortured and crazy, and sometimes they wished that the Changxing army would immediately enter the city to end this endless labor.

That's right! It's labor!

In the past few days, the defenders have turned into coolies, digging earth and sealing the city walls every day.

And there is no end in sight to this kind of work, every day the city wall they have worked so hard to block will be broken by the Changxing army again.

As if they were deliberately trying to exhaust them to death, the Changxing army broke through the gate every day and then collected the troops and returned to the camp.

The defenders in the city did not have the courage to go out of the city to fight the Changxing army, so they could only repeat the simple and hard work.

In the study of Zhu Youzhen in the Forbidden City, more than a dozen Confucians were arguing. One by one, they quoted scriptures and reprimanded Changxingjun angrily, and angrily reprimanded Zhang Doumu for having no father.

Zhu Youzhen was already drowsy when he heard it, and Wang Chengen came to the Long Shu case from outside trotting, and put an urgent letter on Zhu Youzhen's desk.

Seeing the anxious look on Wang Chengen's face, Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand to take a look. The moment he opened the fold, a smell of blood came to his nose, and Zhu Youzhen, who was holding the fold, couldn't help frowning.

When he saw the black-brown blood characters on the fold, his eyes widened suddenly, this turned out to be Qiu Hejia's blood book in Shanhaiguan.

When Zhu Youzhen saw that the Changxing Army had collapsed Shanhaiguan in only one day, he almost threw it on the ground.

The Changxing army broke through Shanhaiguan in one day, so where are they fighting now?

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly continued to look down before he let out a sigh of relief. Then his brows furrowed deeply, what did Zhang Dou do?

Qiu Hejia wrote at the end of the recital that he was ready to die at any time. At the same time as the blood book was issued, he already had a dagger in his arms.

As long as Shanhaiguan is occupied by the Changxing army, he will live and die with Guancheng.

However, it was also a few days away from Shanhaiguan Danjingshi, and the Changxing army was only demolishing Shanhaiguan, and had no intention of occupying this Guancheng.

Zhu Youzhen didn't believe that the Changxing army did not have the ability to break through the Shanhai Pass, and Zhang Dou was probably putting pressure on the imperial court by doing so.

But if the imperial court ignores it and pretends not to see it, it is very likely that the Changxing army will really drive straight to the city of Jingshi.

Shanhaiguan can't stop the footsteps of the Changxing Army, and the Daming Jingshi will definitely not be able to stop the Changxing Army.

It's time to make a decision, looking at the group of Confucians in front of me who have been arguing for a long time without coming up with an idea, is it really right to reuse this group of Confucians?

Inspector Zhu You sighed and said, "Cheng'en! Intended! ”

His words made the people who were talking quietly and looked at the emperor one by one at a loss.

I only heard Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen say slowly: "I am a good person, inherit the unification, renew the world, and return the old ancestors." Unexpectedly, he relied on non-people, which led to rampant captives. Fu Jianzhou originally belonged to me, and the atmosphere was originally my child. If you make it appropriate, how dare you go against my face. In the heyday of the world, many people in the civil and military industry have no choice but to boast and win people, and their real achievements are rare, and they are imprisoned. The master and apprentice were exposed, and Li Shu was upside down. The national funds are scarce and the requisition is endless, and the Lu Yan is withering and it is difficult to stop. Thinking about it in the middle of the night, I am already ashamed and indignant......"

Everyone will be stunned, this is His Majesty the Emperor is committing a crime.

"Your Majesty, no!" Several ministers also tried to persuade them, but Zhu Youzhen was unmoved.

It wasn't until Zhu Youzhen finished his edict that he continued to issue a holy decree, Lai Zongdao and Zhou Daodeng were dismissed and not renewed, and Han Yi was arrested and put into prison by the Jinyi guard! Along with them, dozens of officials, big and small, were dismissed.
