The sixty-eighth palm, the second day
Any modern person knows the term service life. Modern artillery cannons will also explode, but the Red Cannons of the Later Jin Dynasty were murdered. The mastermind was Jirhalang. In order to realize Huang Taiji's plan, he ordered his subordinates to increase the dosage when filling the cannon medicine and artificially create the cannon explosion. The purpose was to reduce the damage to Shunyi City and let Daishan and Amin suffer more losses. Zhou Shixiong arranged cavalry to prepare to deal with the Later Jin artillery. Before it was launched, someone had taken action. It has to be said that Zhou Shixiong was lucky.
"It's great, keep watering." You Shiwei clapped his hands happily when he saw the Jiannu cannon explode. Mangui and Sun Zushou also smiled at each other, "It seems that God is also favoring us!" Mangui attributed Jiergalang's murder to God. Fortunately, Mangui did not have the emperor's will, otherwise Jiergalang would have a chance to become a god.
One cannon exploded, and the other two cannons fired even more slowly. Although the collapse of the ice in Shunyi City is irreversible, it is still possible to last a day. This day is a real battle between water and fire. Before and after sunset, the Jin army called out the gold and retreated. This time it was not Jirhalang who deliberately helped, but because the gunpowder was used up.
Heiyunlong and Xue Baoqian returned to Shunyi City to discuss the problem of night attack with Mangui. Heiyunlong tasted the sweetness of night attack and was obsessed with it, but Mangui did not support this suggestion. "It is different from the past. Jiannu camp is only within one day's journey, and the tactics of exhausted soldiers are meaningless. Moreover, I do not have the strategy of the commander-in-chief, and I cannot do it without hurting myself and only hurting others."
Sun Zushou also supported Man Gui's view, "It is not easy for the black general, the general is to collect these elite soldiers. The last time the Shenshu Camp lost 1,000 people to the generals was heartbroken, so it would be better to make a decision. Besides, the generals attacked Sanhe this time. As long as the generals take action, Jiannu will withdraw their troops and return to the rescue. Then it will be a good opportunity for you to harass Jiannu."
The next day, the Later Jin Dynasty added gunpowder to continue bombing the ice wall. Although the Ming army tried its best to repair it last night, the ice wall still did not last long and collapsed in the afternoon. The ice wall collapsed. The three highest commanders in the Later Jin camp had a small quarrel. Jiergalang believed that the two banner masters could attack the city, and Amin insisted on waiting for the artillery to collapse the city wall before sending troops. Dai Shan considered delaying the time, and maybe something would happen to the Ming army under the capital.
Amin did not have a few to obey the majority and refused to send troops. Dai Shan would not object to his death. Dai Shan only had three thousand infantry soldiers, and attacking Shunyi City, which was at least 10,000 Ming army guarded, was equivalent to dying. Of course, it would not be so idiotic. In the end, Jiergalang made concessions and collapsed the city wall as soon as possible to fulfill the Khan's promise. This time, the cannon was not a big deal, and even other small cannons were involved in the attack. For a moment, the sound of cannons rumbling and the south wall of Shunyi City was about to fall.
The excessively frequent artillery bombardment and the increase in the number of cannons, and the noise created made the Zhenghongqi cavalry led by Heshuotu could not bear it. Both the people and horses subconsciously avoided the artillery team. As time went by, the cavalry guarding the artillery team retreated several miles away, and Heiyunlong and Xue Bao were a little ready to move.
Man Gui stood on the city tower and saw the most clearly. Although the Jiannu cavalry retreated a few miles away, the distance from the artillery team was still much closer than that of the Black Cloud Dragon and the others. If a raid was launched at this time, it would definitely be intercepted by the Jiannu cavalry. If the set goal cannot be completed, the ambush will be exposed. "General You, how are the inner wall repairs?"
It was You Shiwei's idea to build another city wall inside the city wall. He thought it was unrealistic to strengthen all the city walls. At that time, he didn't know which side of the city wall Jiannu would attack, so it would be more effective to build a low wall in the city. With the assistance of the Five Thousand Cavalry Barracks, the Five Thousand Mausoleum Guards built a half-person-high inner wall in three days. It was confirmed that Jiannu's main attack on the Nancheng City and sent more people to strengthen the inner wall of the Nancheng City, and now it is almost completed. You Shiwei went down and walked around, and was very satisfied with the skills of his soldiers. He asked them to go back to the camp to rest and hand over the position to Sun Zushou's people to defend.
Under the uninterrupted bombardment of artillery shells, a section of the city wall in the south city collapsed, and the Later Jin only paid the price of a red cannon exploded. Both sides were very satisfied with this result. Jirgalang could return to the camp to report after the collapse of the city wall, and Daishan and Amin could organize an attack. The Ming army did not spend one soldier and one soldier to withstand the attack of the cannon. The Ming army had a great chance of winning in the subsequent offensive and defensive battle.
There were signs before the collapse of this three-meter-wide city wall. The Ming army evacuated this area early, and there were no casualties due to the collapse of the city wall. Sun Zushou immediately organized soldiers to set up defenses near the collapsed city wall to fight against the invading Jiannu at any time. You Shiwei summoned the guards to urgently clean up the bricks and muds in the city, and cleaned the city clean and facilitated the cavalry to attack Jiannu who entered the city.
The Ming army was ready and the Later Jin Dynasty was still quarreling. Amin pointed to the city wall and said dissatisfiedly, "Who is enough for this period? At least a gap can only be blown up to leave!"
Daishan was also very dissatisfied with Jirgalang's attempt to transfer the artillery team. "Jirgalang, it would be wrong for you to do this. If the Ming army in the artillery team is transferred, what will you use to open the way?"
Jirgalang really wants to say that you can use human life to open the way. Of course, he is a fool when he says it. "The two flag owners, it's not that I, Jirgalang, insisted on withdrawing the artillery team, but that the artillery medicine and shells are almost gone, and it's useless to leave the artillery."
"I have no guns and shells to go to the big business. Do you have to teach you this? "Amin looked at Jirgalang with disdain, as if he was looking at a fool.
"There are not much artillery drugs and artillery shell camps. The rest will be used to attack Beijing City. Don't plot against the two banner owners." Jirgalang explained and ordered the artillery team to set off, not paying attention to the two.
Regardless of whether Jiergalang's words were excuses or quibblings, Dai Shan and Amin could only admit it. They swore clearly to Huang Taiji that Huang Taiji was responsible for blasting the walls of Shunyi City, and the next task was the two. The covenant did not say at least a few gaps. Isn't one gap a gap?
Jirgalang left, Dai Shan and Amin started a new round of quarrels. How to use this gap must be explained clearly by whoever comes first and whom comes later. Fortunately, the two are not really stupid. Before discussing the order, they sent Baiyala to cruising near the gap. If the Ming army attempts to block the gap, they will use bows and arrows to tell the Ming army not to be foolish.
The generals of the Ming army were puzzled by Man Gui's orders that the gap was not allowed to be sealed. You Shiwei was responsible for strengthening the city defense and blocking the gap was under his jurisdiction. It was the most reasonable way to block the gap while Jiannu had not launched a large-scale attack. Why not be sealed?
"The sudden withdrawal of the cannons was made difficult for me, but I have already sent orders to the Black General and Xue Ying, and they will not give these cannons a chance to return to the Jiannu camp. As for the issue of the gap, I have said before that the general commander asked the officer to delay the Jiannu for ten days. If the gap was blocked and the Jiannu did not break the city, they had only two choices, withdraw and attack. Do you think that if the Jiannu wanted to withdraw the camp, can we hold them back?"
Sun Zushou and You Shiwei were not in charge of soldiers on the first day. Man Gui's approach was equivalent to self-harm to lure the enemy, turning this gap into bait to attract Jiannu's attack. You Shiwei glanced at Sun Zushou and ensured that the gap would not turn from bait into fatal injuries. Sun Zushou had to bear great pressure. Sun Zushou frowned and thought for a while, "Mr. Man, the lower official needs all the bows and arrows and crossbows, and also a cavalry of 3,000 people are on standby near the gap and accept the command of the lower official."
"Accurate." Man Gui was not worried about the city's destruction at all. He came up with this move because he had more troops than the opponent and two reinforcements that were about to arrive. Before dark, Jiannu did not organize a large-scale attack, but only arranged two thousand Biaoyala to station near the gap to disintegrate the Ming army's attempt to repair the gap.
Jirgalang was a little regretful. He was too impulsive just now and should be leaving tomorrow. Now both ends are not reliable and have to camp in the wild. He said he was not worried that there would be ghosts. Heiyunlong and Xue Bao lurked for two days and finally waited for the opportunity to take action. The two didn't care that there were only two thousand enemies, and they were nothing in terms of military achievements, especially when they had completed the task. Both of them forgot that a month ago, the strongest military achievements of the Ming Dynasty were only beheaded 200.
Black Cloud Dragon asked Xue Bao to go around the south of Jiannu to block the way back to the camp, and led his subordinates to attack Jiannu. This was learned from Zhou Shixiong, and all the fighting methods he had mastered in Datong were abandoned by him. Tonight's raid was very successful. Except for Jirgalang who did not capture the leading army, a thousand artillery and a thousand guard cavalry were almost wiped out. Jirgalang escaped the encirclement under the protection of Goshha and returned to the camp. Huang Taiji wanted to cry. He planned for so long Daishan and Amin had not lost yet, and he lost another thousand cavalry and all artillery.
Heiyunlong and Xue Bao escorted nearly a thousand prisoners back to Shunyi. The cannons were inconvenient to move, which made Sun Zushou a little disappointed. He was thinking about using small-caliber cannons to defend the city. Man Gui waved his hand, "We don't have gunpowder on our hands, so it's too dangerous to transport them from the capital. Don't think so much."
On the morning of the third day, Dai Shan and Amin looked at the hollow gap in the city wall and were full of confidence. Since the Ming army did not block the gap, it will be up to who will occupy Shunyi City first and get the head of the Ming army commander. Who is the most powerful banner owner of the Eight Banners.
Amin used the lot to gain the power of the first attack, and said to his two sons Ally and Guermahun, "Go and drive the Ming army out of the city!" Ally and Guermahun each led a thousand cavalry to escort thousands of Ming people to clear the gaps and rocks. Amin had no infantry in his hands, so he could only clear the gaps first and then charge with cavalry. Amin would not let the elite cavalry dismount and fight. The time spent cleaning the gaps did not matter to him. Amin only planned to clear the distance below the city, and leave the gaps near Daishan to deal with them.
