Wu Sangui's body lay quietly on the ground, and the sword that had once made people angry after hearing it fell quietly to the side.

Wu Sangui is dead. Wu Sangui, who once made the situation change and was invincible on the battlefield, is dead.

Ding Yunyi looked at the corpse on the ground calmly, feeling some emotion in his heart. In fact, if he could have reached out to help him before, maybe he would not have ended up like this.

But he didn't do it himself.

Why? Is it because the image of Wu Sangui has been deeply ingrained in his heart, or is it because of something else? Ding Yunyi himself can’t tell clearly.

"Cut off Wu Sangui's head and hang it outside the military camp!" Ding Yunyi said calmly: "This is the fate of a traitor!"

This is the fate of traitors!

This is a warning to all people in the world, never to be a traitor in your life!

And this Ding Yunyi's eyes have already fallen on Shanhaiguan!

There is the last pass of the war!

The destruction of Wu Sangui and Guan Ning's army also clearly fell into the eyes of the Manchus. They never thought that the all-powerful Guan Ning's army would perish in such a way.

What was even more unexpected was that Ding Yunyi actually did not let Wu Sangui go!

Wu Sangui’s head is still looking at Shanhaiguan with wide eyes...

Dorgon closed his eyes, and after a while he opened them. He let out a long sigh, and another piece of available power was gone.

The power of the Qing army was weakened little by little...

Ding Yunyi! Ding Yunyi!

At this time, Dorgon was thinking about this name... Seeing that the strategy of "exterminating the Ming Dynasty" was about to succeed, the result was that everything was turned upside down. The Ming Dynasty would win the final victory.

The final victory? Yes, the final victory! In fact, by this time, Dorgon had already felt an unknown feeling in his heart.

If you only rely on a Shanhaiguan Pass, it will be difficult for you to hold on. Now you can only look forward to two things:

First, Qing troops from various places heard the news and attacked Shengjing and sent reinforcements to Shanhaiguan. Perhaps this could change the current situation; second, a miracle happened.

But miracles are so elusive...

On April 20, more than 90% of the troops of the Huben Guards arrived on the battlefield, and all the artillery arrived at Shanhaiguan. This means that the final battle is about to begin!

At the same time in the afternoon, bad news reached Dorgon’s ears:

Nikan and Tunqi, who launched a feint attack in the direction of Shengjing, were instead attacked by the Ming army. More than 3,000 people were annihilated, and more than 2,000 were captured and disappeared. Nikan, Tunqi and less than 5,000 people were in embarrassment.

He fled back to Shanhaiguan.

At the same time, the Manchu troops in various places were heavily attacked by the Ming army who landed.

Now, the only ones who can save themselves are the troops in Shanhaiguan!

On April 21, Ding Yunyi, who had completed all preparations, finally decided not to wait any longer and began the general attack on Shanhaiguan!

A terrifying and trembling number of artillery pieces were neatly arranged outside Shanhaiguan. Densely packed Tiger Guard soldiers appeared outside Shanhaiguan, and those war flags of the Ming Dynasty were flying outside Shanhaiguan!

Ding Yunyi, who was riding on the horse, knew clearly that this would be the last battle!

"Let's begin!" Ding Yunyi gave the order calmly.

When this order came out, overwhelming artillery shells fell towards Shanhaiguan, and the "rumbling" sound of the artillery completely drowned everything.

The final decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has begun!

This is the most glorious battle of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the most glorious battle of the Han people!

The endless artillery fire declared the determination of the Ming Dynasty, and the cannonballs that eclipsed the sky and the earth told all the Manchus in Shanhaiguan: The end is today!

This is the punishment of Ming Dynasty!

The majestic pass once blocked the Qing army from entering the pass. But from the day Wu Sangui dedicated Shanhaiguan, this majestic pass changed his destiny.

The artillerymen of Huben Guard will not have any hesitation because of the history of this magnificent pass. In their eyes, there is only one kind of person in the pass:

enemy!

Shanhaiguan was trembling under the bombardment of artillery fire, and the Manchus were also trembling under the bombardment of artillery fire...

They have no tomorrow and no future. The only thing they are praying for now is that cannonballs will not bloom directly around them. But now it seems that this request has become extremely extravagant.

The generals of the Qing army tried their best to direct the soldiers to defend, but the problem before them was:

How to defend?

Is it possible to use flesh and blood to block those terrible cannonballs? This is simply a fantasy.

Dorgon had no idea, and now, no matter how brave he was, no matter how resourceful he was, facing the Ming army's roaring shells, the only thing he could do was to wait.

The endless waiting that tortures the soul...

Dorgon is waiting, Duduo is waiting, all the Manchu generals are waiting...

And Ding Yunyi was also waiting there calmly...

Victory is already firmly in his hands, and no force can take victory away from his hands. He is about to dedicate his fate of destruction to the Manchus with both hands!

This is a belief that will never change!

He looked at the generals around him. The generals were extremely determined. Like his King Wu Lie, they were also full of faith in victory, and this faith was gained from countless battles.

There was a "boom" explosion, and it could be clearly seen from the telescope that a cannonball accurately landed among a group of Qing soldiers on the tower, and then countless stumps and broken arms rushed into the sky.

What a spectacular sight this is!

Every time an artillery shell hits the target accurately, it always arouses cheers from the Tiger Guard soldiers. Every time the Manchus suffer tragic casualties after being destroyed by artillery fire, it always arouses loud cheers from the Tiger Guard soldiers!

This is a magnificent scene they will never forget!

The city wall of Shanhaiguan is far stronger than that of Beijing or Shengjing. But it is by no means indestructible, especially under the terrifying artillery attack of the Huben Guards.

Persistent bombardment can blast several gaps in the city wall of Shanhaiguan in two days at most.

Ding Yunyi has already issued a death order. There is no need to care about how many shells are used or the cost. They have only one purpose:

Use the most powerful artillery fire to minimize casualties during siege!

The life of every soldier is precious, and the life of every soldier is wealth. Ding Yunyi will not allow any more serious casualties when victory is imminent.

When a force with an absolute advantage in artillery fire faced an enemy that was still completely in the cold weapon era, Ding Yunyi had the confidence to say such a thing.

Dorgon no longer has the confidence to say the word victory...

The shouting and yelling of the generals on the side made him upset. The constant casualties made him frightened. He couldn't imagine that the power of artillery fire could be so huge before!

Did Guan Ning's army lose its morale under such an artillery attack? If this is really the case, what about its own troops? Will it also lose its morale under such an attack?

Dorgon sighed deeply.

The shelling on the first day brought the heaviest casualties to the Qing army in Shanhaiguan, and many city walls were severely damaged, forcing the Qing army to devote themselves to repairing the city walls at night.

Duduo found Dorgon. After a long time, he slowly said: "Brother Fourteen, I'm afraid we can't hold on."

Dorgon was startled, did Duduo actually say such a thing?

In his impression, his fifteenth brother was brave and good at fighting, and would never admit defeat no matter what setbacks he encountered. But what happened today? Why did he look so depressed?

"Old Fifteen, are you scared?" Dorgon asked.

"No, I'm not afraid!" Duduo gritted his teeth: "Brother Fourteen, bad news is coming every day. Opposite us is a Ming army of more than 200,000 people. Behind us are those

The Ming army is chasing and suppressing them everywhere! What should our people do? They are still waiting for us. But now we are trapped here. And what I saw with my own eyes today is that the Ming army’s artillery is really terrifying.

Our artillery is simply vulnerable. If we let them keep firing like this, those nasty Ming troops will be able to break through this place in less than two days. What will we do then? It doesn't matter if we people die, but we are full of people.

Fate cannot be ruined here..."

Dorgon was silent for a moment: "Lao Shiwu, what do you want to do?"

"Abandon Shanhaiguan!" Duduo gritted his teeth and said, "We don't have to bury ourselves in Shanhaiguan. We can go out and fight the Ming army who occupied Shengjing!"

"Old Fifteen, why don't I want to fight the Ming army? Why don't I want to rescue the emperor and the queen mother?" Dorgon sighed and said: "But have you ever thought about it, if we give up Shanhaiguan...

It's like forcing yourself into a desperate situation. If you are intercepted in front and pursued by soldiers behind you, then you will be doomed!"

Duduo suddenly lowered his voice: "Then there is another way..."

"What?" Dorgon didn't know what he wanted to say.

Duduo took a long breath: "Our Shengjing has been destroyed, and the emperor has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Now the morale of the military is seriously unstable. There is only one way to stabilize the morale and restore morale...

"

He said word by word: "Brother Fourteen, please inherit the throne!"

Dorgon stayed there for a moment, inheriting the throne? Let himself be the emperor? At this time? Yes, he did want to compete for the throne in the past, but later his heart was suppressed.

Duduo continued in a low voice: "Brother Fourteen, this seat was originally yours, but you didn't sit down for the sake of the overall situation. Now that the emperor is in the hands of the enemy, the life and death of our Qing Dynasty is at stake. Do you still want to shirk it at this time?

?"

Dorgon did not dare to make this determination no matter what. The stakes in this matter were too great. If he made a mistake, he would become the biggest traitor of the Qing Dynasty...

"Everyone come in!" Duduo suddenly raised his voice.
To be continued...
