Borrow the day to change the day

() The harassment that started at night by Jianlu made the Ming army in Shanhaiguan very nervous for a while.However, the Ming army soon reacted.The soldiers on duty dealt with Jianlu, and the others rested when they should rest, and slept when they should sleep, without being affected in the slightest.

If it were the Ming army from another place, they might spend the whole night with Jianlu, but this is Shanhaiguan, a place that has been war-torn for a long time, and both the generals and soldiers have rich experience.

When it was almost dawn on the second day, the harassing Jianlu retreated, and the front of Shanhaiguan became quiet again.

As soon as the sky was bright, Zhu Mei came to the watchtower in Shanhaiguan early to replace Xu Fuzuo, who was on duty at night, to monitor the battle situation.

Just as Xu Fuzuo was about to leave, he heard Lei Lei, the war drum in Jianlu's direction, and hurried back to observe the enemy's situation with Zhu Mei.

I saw the gate of the Jianlu camp opened, and thousands of Jianlu on horseback came out, with rumbling hooves, heading straight for Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Mei hurriedly sent an order that if the Jian captives came to attack, they would fight back freely.

After the order was issued, Zhu Mei began to observe the enemy's situation again.Suddenly, Xu Fuzuo pointed to the dirt slope in the distance: "Look, Marshal Zhu, there is movement over there, and there are indeed artillery."

Zhu Mei saw that it was indeed a cannon.Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Jianlu moved the artillery to the slope. Now he lifted the mat covering it and pushed it to the grooves, ready to shell.

Zhu Mei looked at it, just smiled, and then said to Xu Fu: "Sure enough, the Jianlu's artillery will be handed over to you. I'm here to watch the overall situation."

Xu Fuzou nodded, went down the watchtower, and walked towards the preset artillery positions.

At the city wall closest to the Jianlu mound, there are five real Hongyi cannons and ten imitation Hongyi cannons.

The gunner had been ordered a long time ago, and after aiming at the mound, he could only order to fire the cannon.

After Xu Fuzuo came to the position, he did not immediately order to fire.He was waiting for Jianlu to fire first. Only in this way, Jianlu's gunners could concentrate on the mound and destroy it in one fell swoop.

The general who greeted Zhu Yuanzhong stretched his head and looked at the swarming Jianlu, and waved his hands to get his soldiers ready.As long as Jianlu enters the firing range of bows, arrows and muskets, he will give them a ruthless blow.

But soon, he was disappointed. Jianlu's brigade did not rush forward, and the closer they got to the pass, the sparser they became.And he didn't dismount to attack the city, but shot arrows at the city wall while riding within the range of the arrow, and his mouth was still yelling.

This kind of scattered running is very difficult to hit.The general manager was hesitating whether to teach the Tartars a lesson, and the order came, and all the soldiers took a rest in hiding, and the lookout post could monitor the Tartars.

An artilleryman at the bottom of the watchtower vaguely heard Zhu Mei on the watchtower say: "I don't even bring a ladder with me when I attack the city, I think I'm a fool."

The task given to the two Tartars who are Zhenghongqi is to supervise the gunners on the mound to bombard the city wall.At this time, the two of them were wearing full armor, standing behind the mound on horseback, yelling at the soldiers to move the shells and gunpowder quickly.

The leader of Jiangzhong was a general manager who was sweating profusely in command in the middle of winter.

His sweat was frightening. Jianlu didn't know it, but he knew it very well.In this process, I don't know if the artillery under my command can hit the city wall, but the artillery in Shanhaiguan can definitely hit it, because the artillery in the pass is not as good as the artillery in Shanhaiguan.

So he has been standing in the corner of the mound, shooting dead corner command.He just hoped that the gunpowder and shells would be finished as soon as possible, so that he could leave this damned mound.

Gunpowder and shells were continuously brought up from the lower level of the mound for loading.Finally, when everything was ready, he hurriedly reported to Jianlu behind the mound.

As soon as Fa Kejin heard the report, taking this opportunity, he quickly returned to the arrow tower of the camp behind, reported to the slave chief Huang Taiji above, and paid homage to the wise and mighty Khan.

Huang Taiji looked at Shanhaiguan in the distance, and found that the Ming army was not confused by the feint attack.In desperation, he ordered a full-scale attack, and at the same time, artillery bombarded Shanhaiguan.

As a result, more people poured out of Jianlu's camp again.These people carried the basic tool for siege, the ladder.

Erdengbu looked at the troops carrying the ladders to attack the city, and wondered in his heart which flag would attack the city first, or those people would attack Shanhaiguan first, or the artillery would smash down the city wall first.

Zhu Mei watched the Jianlu swarming from the archery tower. When they reached beyond the range of the arrows, some strong Jianlu raised their large shields to form several shield walls to cover the archers among the Jianlu. Advance the walls.

Not far behind them, a lot of Jianlu swordsmen and shields gathered beside each ladder, ready to attack the city after the sharp archers in front suppressed the Ming army on the city wall.

Zhu Mei nodded, this is like a siege.Therefore, the Ming army on the city wall was ordered to fight back according to the orders of their officers.

Xu Fuzuo didn't care about the rest of the situation on the battlefield.With Zhu Mei around, and defending at Shanhaiguan Pass, there would be no surprises at all.

He stared at the mound of dirt in the distance, wondering why there was still no movement when it was time to fight.

Xu Fuzuo didn't know the reason, but if he wanted to know, he would die of laughter.

These gunners who surrendered to Jianlu knew that they were within the range of Shanhaiguan artillery, just like their boss Qian.Therefore, not only their bosses are nervous, but they themselves are also nervous.With the same mind as Mr. Qian, the gunpowder and shells will be used up as soon as possible, so that they can leave the battlefield earlier.

But the more nervous you are, the worse it will be. When you are ready, it will be a sweat.Then wait for the slave chief's order and start lighting the fire.

After Jianlu began to attack the city in an all-round way, the order to fire the artillery finally came down.

Mr. Qian hurriedly ordered the gunners to fire and bombard the city wall, only to hear a "boom, boom" resounding through the battlefield.

Xu Fuzuo looked at the mound in astonishment, a huge black mushroom cloud appeared, and then the mound disappeared.

A large circle around the mound sank in, and everything that was on it before flew into the sky.

All the people on the battlefield, whether they were Jianlu or the Ming army, were attracted by the loud noise, stopped what they were doing, and looked in the direction of the mound.

The Jianlu didn’t wake up after seeing the mushroom cloud, but the Ming army defending Shanhaiguan, who had been in contact with gunpowder for a long time, knew it, and laughed happily at the moment, retribution, retribution.

The previous commander still remembered what he promised Zhu Yuanzhong, and took advantage of the opportunity of Guanxia Jianlu's astonishment, ordered to beat him severely.

All of a sudden, bows and arrows flew randomly, and guns blared, knocking the Jianlu near the city wall to the ground.

Under the attack of the Ming army, the Jianlu who were in Guanxia passively either attacked or retreated, not knowing what to do for a while.

Huang Taiji was on the watchtower of his camp, dumbfounded.This first shot overturned his own artillery position, or overturned himself.

Whether it was the gunners of the Ming army who surrendered with the will to die and did it on purpose, or something happened to end up like this, he didn't want to pursue it, and he didn't have to.All he knew now was that the plan to attack Shanhaiguan might be in vain.

The other leaders of Jianlu standing beside Huang Taiji looked at their profuse sweat to see how he would deal with it.

Huang Taiji was very contradictory. If he ordered the retreat just like that, he seemed to be acting in a child's play.He happily ran for hundreds of miles, confidently prepared to take down Shanhaiguan, and before the real siege began, he "boomed" and wiped out his trump card. Can this battle continue?

But if you don't give the order to retreat, the arrow is on the line, and you forcefully withdraw it, which will really damage your reputation.

Huang Taiji can be regarded as a hero, he hesitated for a moment before making a decision and ordering Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The Ming army in Shanhaiguan heard the sound of Jianlu's clinking gold, and responded with the roar of artillery, and the rest of the infantry booed "Aoooo" to Jianlu who retreated in embarrassment.

Xu Fuzuo changed his usual demeanor, and with a "bah", he spit under the city wall. For nainai, I prepared a pot, but the bottom of the pot broke by itself, which made me busy for a while.

Zhu Mei was on the arrow tower, looking at the retreating Jianlu, and had already drawn up a draft in her heart, how to report victory to the capital.

He knew that Jianlu's first drum would fail, and there would be no chance to attack the city again later.

With a gloomy face, Huang Taiji went down from the archery tower without saying a word, and went back to his big tent, leaving only the rest of the Jianlu leaders looking at each other in blank dismay.After a while, his personal soldiers sent an order to hold a military meeting.
