Ying Yi was wearing armor, his croaker hanging on the side of the saddle. The jingling sound of the horse's hooves hit the ground, and finally drowned in the sound of footsteps as neat as thunder.

When the Eastern Barbarians attack, Ying Yi will not sit upright and wait for the victory. This should be the largest war before the official founding of the Great Xia Kingdom. As a monarch, he must participate in it personally.

After entrusting all the affairs with the Madhya Emperor Yuan and the Imperial Court, Ying Yi personally led the army to Shanhaiguan.

This time, only 2,500 imperial guards were guarded by Ying Yi. There were 3,000 imperial guards, and 500 people left to guard the Forbidden City. There were less than 10,000 troops left in the entire capital. Most of Qian Yue's troops had been allocated to the Miyun line in the north of the capital.

Ying Yi's confidence can be imagined by guarding the capital with less than 10,000 troops.

The golden armored imperial guards are majestic and tidy, and their steps are consistent. Every time they step, they are thunder bombed. They are extremely fast. They set off from the capital in the morning and arrived in Yongping Funing in the afternoon, leaving only about a hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan.

The marching of a single day was not very physically burdened for the Imperial Guards. Instead, the war horses that the generals rode on were rotated several times within a day.

Especially the two war horses that were holding Ying Yi's heavy Pu Dao were very tired even if they were rotated back and forth.

"Funning is ahead, right?"

Ying Yi asked.

Wang Yisheng was covered with armor on the side and said in a muffled voice when he heard this: "Go back to you, Funing County is more than ten miles ahead. After passing Funing, you will walk seventy or eighty miles, and Shanhaiguan is in sight."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "The vanguard of the Tartars should have arrived at the front line. I wonder if the war has begun now."

Wang Yisheng didn't say anything.

Ying Yi suddenly said again: "This mud and stone road is not good, and I am covered in smoke and dust all the way. If I can..."

As he said that, he shook his head: "It's still a little while."

I saw the bustling people on both sides of the road ahead.

I have seen many along the way. During this harvest season, the people are busy bringing the food home. The wheat waves on both sides of the official road are like the sea, the strong smell of wheat, and the bustling picks and ox carts along the way, forming a vivid and vibrant painting.

The resettlement villages placed on both sides of the newly renovated official road are brand new ones. Under the shade of the trees, you can even see the golden grain covered with drying grounds.

Ying Yi was moved by the traffic between the mountains and the roads, but it was not enough. He had traffic between the mountains and the roads, but it was still a little worse for the traffic between the mountains and the roads.

Now the government is focusing on farming, and the storage of six animals has not yet been taken into account.

Moreover, Ying Yi was not satisfied with the official road of earth, stone, mud and sand. He was very unhappy when walking. But he didn't have time to take care of these for the time being. He had to wait until the war stopped and the world was stable, and then take it slowly.

It's not a matter of one day or one night.

When passing by, a single-minded young man stood tall and whispered, pounding his chest and watching fiercely. Ying Yi nodded slightly to him, knowing that this was his former soldier and now his official.

The Imperial Guards walked like flying and soon disappeared from the distance of the official road. The people who stopped along the way talked fiercely, dancing.

The village chief knew that there must be a war on the front line.

He longed for it, but finally sighed.

When Ying Yi's army arrived at Shanhaiguan, Qiantun Guard had already been filled with beacons.

Although Haoge felt that Qiantun Guard was suspected of bluffing, he was still cautious. The new enemy was not the Ming court, but an enemy who had destroyed the Ming court and wiped out Abatai's entire army.

Although he was crazy, he didn't think he was much better than Abatai.

The vanguard of Haoge had 16,000 elite cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner. During the period when he was stationed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, 40,000 robbers had arrived one after another, and Dorgon's main army was about to set sail here.

He has enough troops in his hands.

What's more, there are 7,000 Wu Sangui's people?

However, it was not Wu Sangui who started attacking Qiantunwei. Although Haoge thought so in his heart, he finally held back.

He looked down on the Han people and thought that the Han people were inferior people. But Wu Sangui's actions these days were all seen by him.

More than 20,000 people, only 7,000 left is enough to show Wu Sangui's loyalty.

If Wu Sangui was sent to be cannon fodder at this time, not to mention what Wu Sangui thought, Haoge must also consider the idea of ​​the Han Eight Banners, whose power is becoming more and more important and the views of the Han officials who were already valued when Huang Taiji was in power.

He has lost the throne. If he acts recklessly, Dorgon will definitely not miss the opportunity to kill him!

He knew his situation very well.

Qiantun Weijun Town is slightly smaller than Ningyuan, and is a stone city built on a hillside. It is only one mile larger.

To break through Qiantunwei, it is necessary to take human lives to fill in.

If it were during the Ming Dynasty, those timid Ming court generals might have to surrender once to take the city, but now they are definitely not allowed.

Just looking at the silent armored soldiers on the city wall silently loading shells, you will know that this battle is not easy to fight.

The Tartars were not good at siegeing cities. In the original history, the main force that took over the Central Plains was not the troops of the Tartars, but the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Using the Han Dynasty to attack the Han Dynasty, it has to be said that the Tartars were cunning.

It’s a pity that as a vanguard, Haoge now has no other Han army except Wu Sangui.

Fortunately, there are enough siege tools - cannons!

The emergence of artillery greatly reduces the difficulty of siege. The cannons are bombarded together, unless they are heavy cities like Kaifeng or the capital, ordinary cities will basically be unable to stop them.

Once the city wall collapses, the advantage of defending the city will be gone.

Qiantun Guard is backed by the mountains, and the sides are extremely steep, so you can attack in the front direction. Moreover, the attack surface is not large, and it is less than five meters wide.

The cannon fodder sent in at one time will not exceed 500 people. If there are more than this number, it is a waste.

The Haoge army formed a formation two miles away, and set up artillery formations in front of the army. Five hundred coats were already ready. As soon as the artillery fire sounded, they took advantage of the artillery fire to charge and attack the city.

However, the artillery fired at the top of the city almost caused Haoge to fall off the horse's back!

Just as the Haogli cannon array was about to bombard the Qiantunwei city wall, silver-white cannon tubes stretched out from the gap between the female walls on the city, and fireworks filled the whole city trembled slightly. More than two hundred cannons with fists pulled the tail of the long flames, and instantly crossed a distance of two miles and bombarded the Haoge's cannon array. Suddenly, a piece of ruins!

Before Haoge could react, the second round of artillery bombardment came again!

The dense cannons smashed Haoge's cannon formation, jumped up on the hard ground, crushed into the Tartars formation, and brought up flesh and blood all the way. Screams burst out as people turned over and over!

"impossible!"

Haoge avoided a cannon in a mess and roared: "How could the tiger squat cannon be so far!"

Turge pulled over Haoge's reins and shouted: "Get back!"

The front part of the Tartar Army formation was within the range of artillery attacks. Some generals watched the battle in front of the formation, and there were huge casualties in an instant!

Only Wu Sangui saw the opportunity early, and when he saw the shelling and pulled out his horse, he retreated. After retreating to the central army, he wiped his cold sweat and heard Haoge's roar.

However, the third round of artillery bombardment has arrived again!

"With such a dense bombardment, can there be thousands of cannons in Qiantun Guard?" Wu Sangui's eyes flashed and he was secretly shocked.

"And before, the city was bustling with ten cannons all looked like tiger squat cannons. Although they were brand new, how could the tiger squat cannons be so far?"
Chapter completed!
