According to historical records, Huang Taiji detoured the Mongolian grassland for the first time and entered the pass. He first ambushed the Shanhaiguan General Zhao Shujiao, and then easily captured Zunhua and Santun camps. He tore the Zunhua defense line up and then went to the capital.

That was caused by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian's suspicion and disobeying Yuan Chonghuan's warning. Now Emperor Chongzheng Zhu Cijing is in the dynasty. He has long known that Huang Taiji is going to attack the pass, so he will naturally not be fooled by him.

First of all, the General of Shanhaiguan, Zhao Shujiao, did not take the bait, and stood firmly on the line of Yongping, Qian'an and Luanzhou, without moving at all. Then Sun Chengzong threatened Huang Taiji in Zunhua, which caused him to lose nearly two thousand troops.

Should I go to attack Santun Camp? Huang Taiji hesitated for a while but decided not to go. The master who likes Yin people is also afraid of being Yin by others. Sun Chengzong has even come to Zunhua. Yuan Chonghuan may be in Santun Camp. If he runs over to him, wouldn’t he be looking for abuse?

He was already suspicious when Sun Chengzong was frightened by this. He thought that all the main forces in Liaodong were transferred to Zunhua and the Santun Camp came, so naturally he would not go to Santun Camp again, but instead led 100,000 cavalry to pounce on the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

I'll kill your little emperor, and see who dares not go to the capital to serve the king?

This time he really miscalculated completely. No one went to serve the king. Qin Liangyu led the elite troops of the 60,000 military camps and Shenji camps to guard it. It was impossible for him, Huang Taiji, to break through the capital!

So, on November 20, when Huang Taiji came to the capital of Daming, he was disappointed to find that there was no one outside the city. Not to mention the Guanning Iron Cavalry in Liaodong, even the troops serving the kings everywhere did not see it. The city wall was heavily guarded and the city wall was empty!

Huang Taiji was so depressed. He really didn't want to attack the city head-on. Zunhua had an inner supporter. He wanted to steal the city. There was no inner supporter in the Ming Dynasty. The city wall was more than twice as high as Zunhua. There was also a moat. Red-clothed cannons and Folang machine cannons were definitely indispensable. The capital of the Ming Dynasty could be said to be the most solid fortress in the world at that time. Except for breaking from the inside, it would be useless if anyone came.

............

From the first day of October to November 20th, another fifty days have passed. Wang Gong Factory has built nearly 100,000 grenades. Together with the remaining more than 20,000, the Sanjun and Shenji Battalions are now equipped with 120,000 grenades! Sixty thousand people, an average of two per person! Even the number of mines has reached a terrifying 50,000!

What is this concept? Let’s not talk about it for now. If Huang Taiji dares to attack the city, he will know that he is powerful.

Does Huang Taiji dare to attack the city? Of course, he dares. Siege does not mean that he must attack. Is feint attacking also an attack? His plan is to lead all the troops that served the kings in the Ming Dynasty to the capital, and then go and take Jizhou Town easily. Now, there is no one hair on the human body, so he naturally wants to attack the capital and scare the little emperor Zhu Cijiu.

Then is Zhu Cijiu afraid? He personally said that he was afraid of yarn. The city wall was nearly ten meters high and there were more than 100,000 mines and grenades. Huang Taiji could not lead a million troops to attack. He only had 100,000 troops. If he wanted to capture the impregnable capital, it would be a fool!

At this moment, Zhu Cijing was sitting high on the city gate tower of Guangqu Gate, holding a telescope to watch the show.

Why is it Guangqumen? This Guangqumen is not in the south, nor in the north, nor in the west, nor in the east, but in a side gate in the southeast corner of the capital. Why did Zhu Cijiong come here to watch the show?

Of course, it was not that Zhu Cijiu was so pretentious, but because of historical records, Huang Taiji's first sneak attack on the capital city, and the battle to defend the capital broke out outside Guangqu Gate.

The trajectory of history is difficult to change. After Huang Taiji walked around the capital for a while, he really chose Guangqumen.

At this time, outside Guangqu Gate was Huang Taiji's army of 100,000, and on the city wall were the five thousand elite troops of Shenji Camp and 5,000 troops of the three military camps. Both sides had already set off and the battle was about to begin.

Huang Taiji carefully observed the terrain outside Guangqu Gate with a telescope, and then ordered Daishan beside him: "Brother, you lead the second Mongolian banner to fill the moat outside Guangqu Gate."

Aisin Gioro Daishan was actually the second son of Nurhaci, the founding king of the Later Jin Dynasty. However, because his eldest son Chu Ying was deposed, Huang Taiji usually called him the eldest brother. This Daishan is not Tabai. He is brave in combat and has high martial arts skills. He is the famous "Guying Batulu" in the Later Jin Dynasty!

Batulu, you know that he is the number one warrior of the Jurchens! How brave this generation of Shan is, you can see from the title that he dares to fill the moat, even if Huang Taiji asks him to attack the city wall directly.

How to fill this moat? It depends on what the main siege is. If it is an infantry, it will generally build some wheelbarrows and use a car to push large bags of soil into the moat. If it is a cavalry, then use a small bag of soil to fill it with soil, carry it directly on your back, and rush over to the moat with a quick horse and throw it into the moat.

The moat is generally within the range of bows and arrows. It is more dangerous to fill the moat. It is necessary to risk the rain of arrows to fill the moat about ten meters wide, and at least a few thousand people will be lost. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life to fill it. Therefore, Huang Taiji asked Dai Shan to lead the Mongolian Banner to fill it. He did not want to consume the elite of his clan on filling the moat, which is not technically relevant.

Dai Shan has experienced many battles and naturally no small matter of filling the moat is sprinkled. After receiving the order, he ordered two Mongolian cavalry and a team of thousands of people to start filling soil. There were 20,000 horses, and each person would lose two or three bags. If he had better riding skills, he would not have lost many people.

Soon, the first team packed the soil. Dai Shan took the bag of soil that had been packed by his personal guard and held it in his hand and weighed it. Then he shouted: "First team, follow me."

Then he led a thousand cavalry toward the moat. When he was about ten steps away from the moat, he threw the bag of soil in his hand forward, then turned around, made a beautiful drift, and ran back. The bag of soil accurately fell into the moat under the action of inertia, splashing huge splashes.

The others did not have as good riding skills as him, nor did they have the strength of him, so they could only approach the moat honestly and throw it away. What was strange was that the Ming army on the city wall did not release a single arrow, and they just watched them fill the soil stupidly without any reaction.
