A moment later, Zhu Cixuan took Li Guozhen out of the tent.

Li Guozhen couldn't help but whisper: "Your Highness, this Governor Wu seems to be very wary of us."

This time, as the nominal commander of 30,000 soldiers, Li Guozhen of course hopes to replace Wu Sangui with the Shanhaiguan, so that he can achieve better military achievements.

Zhu Cilang laughed and said, "It's okay. Since he wants to guard it, let him guard it. As long as you don't throw away Shanhaiguan, you'll be fine. Okay, I'm tired after a few days of travel. Let's go and have a good rest."

In the camp, Wu Sangui looked at Zhu Cilang's departure back, and his expression was also a bit complicated.

Zheng Jiaolin said: "Sir, this prince obviously wants to steal our military achievements. It's really hateful."

Wu Sangui retracted his thoughts, snorted, and said to the many subordinates in front of him: "You must fight well next time, don't give His Highness any chance, otherwise if he really has the opportunity to change defense, then your glory and wealth will be gone!"

The subordinates also responded with a loud noise when they heard this. They were not stupid. They knew that relying on Shanhaiguan's solid defense line was the safest way to obtain military achievements, and they would definitely not miss it.

The night passed like this.

Early the next morning, many Qing troops began to set out in formation.

After a night of sleep, Jirgalang was full of energy, and there was no trace of alcohol on his face, and replaced by a fierce murderous intent.

As Nurhaci's adopted son, Jirhalang has experienced many wars over the past few decades. Once he is cheered up, it will be as terrifying as a tiger coming out of the mountain.

Jiergalang looked around the Qing generals present and said coldly: "I believe you learned the news yesterday. We were all fooled by the generals of Ming Dynasty!"

Even though I knew, the generals of the Qing Dynasty could not help but show an angry expression on their faces when they heard this.

Over the years, the Qing Dynasty has been fighting against the Ming Dynasty. When did it get so angry?

Jirgalang continued to speak: "But the Ming people are doing their own things! They think that the walls of Shanhaiguan can withstand the attack of our Qing Dynasty, even if they only have half of the army! But today, we will let these Ming people know that underestimating that the Qing Dynasty has to pay, where is the Mandahai?"

Mandahai, the deputy commander of the Red Flag inlaid, immediately stepped out of the line and whispered loudly: "Mandahai is here!"

Jiergalang looked at Mandahai and slowly spoke: "Didn't you always hope that I will give you a chance? Today, this opportunity is here. You bring your Red Flag Army as the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty. I will give you another ten thousand servants, and other flag troops will support you. Can you capture this Shanhaiguan for me?"

Mandahai was overjoyed when he heard this and raised his chest high: "Don't worry, Prince Zheng, this time I will definitely let these Ming dogs know the power of the Qing Dynasty!"

Jirgalang nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "What are you waiting for? The whole army attacks!"

The rumbling sound of war drums resounded throughout the world, and a large number of Eight Banners troops began to emerge in full swing, with red flags flying in the air, heading straight for Shanhaiguan.

On the wall of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui watched this scene and his heart jumped slightly.

He turned around and said seriously to the generals behind him: "The prince may not be incompatible with me, but he is right. Today, Jiannu did send out the main elite. You and others told me if you are afraid?"

The generals said in unison: "Don't be afraid!"

Wu Sangui showed a satisfied expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "Then let Jiannu see what is the real elite of Guanning Army!"

A fierce battle began to break out.

This time, the Qing Dynasty did use all its strength. The specific performance was not only to mobilize the elites of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but also to have a weapon that they had never used before.

"Boom!" A loud bang came out on the wall of Shanhaiguan, and the earth shook until it shook, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Zhu Cixuan, who was paying attention to this battle in the rear camp, frowned immediately when he saw this: "Is this... a red cannon?"

Li Guozhen, who was standing beside him, had a little helpless face and a little bit of shame, and said, "Report to Your Highness, this is indeed a red cannon."

Zhu Cixuan was a little confused: "Where did Jiannu get the Red Cannon?"

Li Guozhen said: "It was seized from our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cilang: “…”

After a long time, the Ming Dynasty became the leader of the Qing Dynasty's transportation brigade?

In fact, Zhu Cilang didn't know that this situation has always been the norm.

The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to go from weak to strong step by step was that the incompetent generals of the Ming Dynasty kept defeating wars and continuously "delivered" craftsmen, weapons, weapons, soldiers and other resources to the Qing Dynasty.

After a while, Zhu Cilang said: "Continue to pay attention and see if Wu Sangui can withstand it."

The bombardment of the Red Barbarian cannons also surprised Wu Sangui: "These Jiannu actually brought even the Red Barbarian cannons?"

According to previous information, the red cannons of the Qing Dynasty were usually placed in Jinzhou. These cannons were very heavy and difficult to transport. Wu Sangui did not expect that Jiergalang would even bring such weapons this time.

At this moment, what Zhu Cilang said yesterday suddenly appeared in Wu Sangui's mind.

"Jiannu's offense will be very fierce tomorrow!"

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "We also have cannons, don't panic! If you send the order, fire the cannons and fight back immediately!"

Since Yuan Chonghuan shot Nurhaci seriously injured and finally sent him to the West, cannons have become an important weapon for the Ming and Qing dynasties during the war. Not every city has expensive red cannons, but ordinary cannons were also equipped with fifteen guns at Shanhaiguan.

Under Wu Sangui's order, the Ming army above the wall also began to fire artillery one after another. The shells fell into the Qing army's ranks outside the wall, which also caused a lot of casualties and injuries, effectively preventing the Qing army's offensive situation for a while.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui was a little calmer and smiled and said, "This so-called Jiannu main force is just like this, hahaha!"

Around Wu Sangui, many generals of Guanning Army also came to rest and laughed at him.

"Jiannu can fight in the wild. What's the use of facing the powerful cannons in the Ming Dynasty?"

"The Ming Dynasty was the Ming Dynasty after all, and it was not comparable to these Jiannu barbarians."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince said we can't stop it, it's a joke!"

"Your Highness is only fifteen years old, what kind of war is it? It was just the Duke of England and Xiangcheng Bo who took him."

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a shell suddenly fell on the wall, and then there was a loud bang, and an explosion with air waves directly swept across the nearby wall.

Wu Sangui was stunned and yelled after several seconds: "What the hell is going on!"

Wu Sangui has never heard of anyone's red cannons that have such great power!

A moment later, a general with a dirt face staggered down from the wall and knelt in front of Wu Sangui with a thud: "Sir, no, the Jiannu's shells fell on our gunpowder pile, blowing up all the artillery and cannons!"

Wu Sangui was struck by lightning. After a while, he kicked the general over and cursed: "Idiot, haven't I said long ago that I shouldn't put gunpowder in a place where the enemy can hit it?"

As soon as Wu Sangui finished speaking, another sharp alarm sounded.

"The Jiannu has come to the wall!"

It turned out that after the gunpowder pile exploded, a considerable gap was blown out of the battlements that closed the wall. In addition, all the Ming troops near the gap were killed after the explosion, resulting in no defense, so the Qing army took advantage of the situation to climb the wall.

When Wu Sangui heard this, he was shocked: "Hurry, hurry up and defeat these Jiannu to me!"

At this moment, Wu Sangui was really panicked.

In the original place, in the Qing Dynasty camp, Jiergalang laughed loudly.

"Okay, our Qing Dynasty boys are good. The Shanhaiguan in Ming Dynasty is so amazing. It's just that! Hurry up, continue to send additional troops to let these Ming people know how powerful our Qing Dynasty is!"

Under Jirgalang's order, the Qing army began to launch wave after wave of offensives.

Originally, Wu Sangui relied on the benefits of this wall, but now the Qing army seized the only gap and sent troops to attack fiercely without any chance, which immediately put great pressure on Wu Sangui.

You should know that in close hand-to-hand combat, the combat power of these Eight Banners Army, which were born between the White Mountains and Black Waters, was amazing.

Not only that, the Qing army's red cannons also relied on the advantages of range and power to continuously suppress the artillery above the Ming army's walls.

After just one hour passed, Wu Sangui's fifteen artillery pieces had been destroyed as many as seven!

The battle situation was developing more and more in the unexpected direction of Wu Sangui. More Qing troops began to climb into the walls and even gained a firm foothold on the walls.

Wu Sangui was really panicked now, and directly pulled out the long sword from his waist and roared: "Where is the personal guard? I will go up with my official officer and fight with these Jiannu!"

Inspired by Wu Sangui, the morale of the Guanning Army once again boosted its spirit and launched a crazy counterattack.

Finally, after two hours of bloody battle, the last soldier who stood on the wall of the Qing Dynasty was also killed. This time, the attack that broke through Shanhaiguan was declared a failure.

Wu Sangui was gasping for breath, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and blood fell from the sword in his hand.

After such a big battle, he felt like he was about to lose his virginity.

In the Qing army camp outside Shanhaiguan, Jirgalang watched the scene and sneered.

"It was so easy to fight on the first day. Everyone, it seems that we should be able to break through this Shanhaiguan within three days!"

Jirgalang was not too angry, but after today's test, he added confidence.

Wu Sangui returned to the camp tiredly and summoned the generals to start discussing the matter.

The most important thing is of course counting casualties.

When the casualties were reported, Wu Sangui was stunned.

"What did you say, the number of people killed and injured in battle is close to three thousand?"

Wu Sangui was almost roaring: "How is this possible!"

You should know that Wu Sangui has only 15,000 people under his command now, and after fighting on this day, 3,000 people lost their combat ability.

According to this number, Wu Sangui will be wiped out in another four days!

Faced with Wu Sangui's reprimand, the official in charge of statistics was also blushed, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, this is the truth. Otherwise... let's ask His Highness the Crown Prince for help!"
