At the Qihuo Army Fort, Chen Wu led the Qihuo Army to work hard on the farmland at the foot of the mountain.

The Qihuojun Dock Fort is self-produced and has its own farmland.

After replenishing a group of young and strong refugees, the number of beggars reached 300.

After all, the beggars are a group of farmers, but their willpower is quite tenacious.

Chen Wu put down his hoe and looked up at the air. He saw a war eagle soaring and landing on a wooden stake.

Chen Wu took off the note tied to Zhan Ying's legs, his face darkened, and he shouted loudly: "The strong enemy is coming, everyone will return to the fort!"

The beggars and their families heard that an enemy was coming to attack, and they ignored the farm work, so they quickly took their families and retreated to the fort to prepare for the war.

Archers climbed the arrow tower, and the beggars carried stones to the stone wall to attack the enemy.

Chen Wu dispatched his troops and defended the fort with all his might.

The Qihuo Army Fort was built on the mountainous landscape and supported the Dongguan guarded by Liao Hua.

The purpose of the establishment of the Qihuo Army Fort was to deal with the incoming enemies in the eastern plains, and it was finally used.

A beggar asked, "Chief, which force is attacking us?"

Chen Wu's voice was heavy: "Huang Taiji."

Liao Hua led 300 light infantry in Shu Kingdom to guard the East Pass and also received a warning from the Iron Eagle Scout - Huang Taiji had mobilized a large number of troops in the territory to attack the western valley.

After completing the spring plowing, Huang Taiji set out to guide Xia Town.

After Liao Hua came over, he encountered an Eight Banners Niulu, and both suffered losses with the Eight Banners Niulu. Therefore, Liao Hua had seen the combat power of the Eight Banners at the peak of the Qing Dynasty.

The Eight Banners Cavalry in the early 17th century were different from the Eight Banners children who later only knew how to walk birds and fight crickets. This group of Eight Banners experienced the Battle of Sarhu, the Battle of Ningyuan, the Battle of Songjin, and the Battle of Mongolia and North Korea. They were through many battles and were indeed one of the best field forces in that era.

In the Battle of Songjin, the Ming and Qing dynasties used more than 100,000 main forces, exceeding the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi.

The iron cavalry that conquers the world is undoubtedly at its peak.

Therefore, when he learned that Huang Taiji was attacking, Liao Hua made every effort to prepare for the war, defended Dongguan to death, and waited for Zhang Hua to lead the main force of Xia Town to help.

Xia Town, countless troops were mobilized. Under the organization of the Legalist Han Fei, Xia Town entered a state of war and transported weapons, food and grass in a tense and orderly manner.

Zhang Hua changed into armor, took Mulan, and Sun Shangxiang to Xiazhen Square to inspect the military parade, preparing to go to support Dongguan and fight with Huang Taiji.

If Huang Taiji wants to calm the rear, he must defeat Zhang Hua.

If Zhang Hua wants to march into the plains, he must defeat Huang Taiji.

The conflict between the two is irreconcilable, only one battle.

Xu Chu, Jiang Qin, Huan Dan, Wang Feng, Zhao Ponu, Zhong Shizhong, Ma Wu, Liang Hongyu and other military generals stood tall, with two thousand soldiers and horses standing sharply, and a ring-headed sword made by Shu Han blacksmith Pu Yuan hung around his waist.

Zhang Hua looked at Jiang Qin: "Dong Yi, you commanded 300 Wu archers and 1,000 township heroes, using the canal transport ships to transport grain and grass, arrows to Dongguan. At the same time, you try to attack Huang Taiji's canal transport fleet."

"I will obey the order!"

When Jiang Qin saw that Sun Shangxiang was obeying Zhang Hua's advice, he, as Sun Shangxiang's general, could only obey Zhang Hua's orders.

The Western feudal system, the vassal of the vassal is not my vassal.

Eastern civilization is different from the Western.

What the East recognizes is the king's land under the world, and the king's ministers are the king's ministers.

"Huan Dan, you lead 200 mountain barbarians and 300 village heroes to guard the northern mountain road, set up a secret post 50 miles away to prevent Jin Wushu from launching a surprise attack through the northern mountain road."

"A few gentlemen, you will be guarding Xia Town."

Zhang Hua arranged for Han Fei, Guo Shoujing, Chen Qiao and others to lead the town to defend Xia Town.

As long as the entrances of the valley are sealed, Xia Town will not need troops to defend, and the township tycoon is completely enough to maintain public order.

"The other generals, follow me to send troops to resist Huang Taiji!"

After several battles, Zhang Hua gradually established prestige among the people in Xia Town. With an order, he led 2,000 soldiers and 3,000 township warriors to Dongguan.

In Dongguan, Huang Taiji's troops had already appeared in the sight of the defenders.

Huang Taiji has the troops and young men in the territory, and he will conquer Xia Town in one fell swoop!

Liao Hua's face turned pale and he looked at the dust in the distance: "The three-meter stone wall is hard to stop Huang Taiji's increasingly large military force. However, by the time he defeated Huang Taiji, there is no need for this pass to exist."

Three hundred Shuhan light infantry climbed the stone wall and arrow tower to defend, all watching the arrival of the army nervously.

Huang Taiji digested Zhang Shicheng's power and his troops became even more powerful.

A three-meter stone wall does not require a siege or a siege car. You can climb the city with a simple flying ladder.

Dongguan was a pass set up by Zhang Hua in the early stage to resist the plains. It was just to transition and prevent cavalry from advancing. It was okay to block hundreds of soldiers. Huang Taiji brought seven or eight thousand soldiers and eight thousand soldiers, and a three-meter stone wall would not be a dangerous pass.

Liao Hua is under great pressure.

Oboi was promoted to the title of the Lord of the Inlaid Yellow Banner, and Huang Taiji awarded 2,000 households in Oboi.

Oboi was even more devoted, and he was full of yellow flags and strong, and he tried his best to attack.

Aobai is more powerful than Xia Town, with a population of 2,000, and three households were drawn, and one was forced to recruit 1,000 soldiers, and three Niulu were set up.

The yellow dragon flags inlaid with yellow flags were roaring, and the cavalry led the way, and the light infantry pushed the chariots and arrived one after another, forming an array below the Dongguan, preparing to attack the pass.

"What's going on with this kind of oppression?"

Liao Hua found that his body was trembling involuntarily.

After the yellow flag arrayed, Huang Taiji's Zhengbai flag arrived later.

The Zhengbai Banner has stronger troops, and Huang Taiji appears like stars arching the moon, using his first talent to suppress the defenders!

Huang Taiji had Jianzhou Jurchens, Mongolian cavalry, Rouran cavalry, and Han army. The second talent was "winning people's hearts" and allowed military generals of all races to drive Huang Taiji.

The brothers Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide were not determined enough and were recruited by Huang Taiji.

"I didn't expect to be an enemy of Xia Zhen. Huang Taiji is too cruel. Perhaps only he can become the real overlord of the plain."

Zhang Shicheng was named the leader of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army and was affiliated with the Zhengbai Banner of Huang Taiji.

Zhang Shicheng was completely defeated by Huang Taiji and lost the courage to resist.

Fan Wencheng, a Han adviser, followed Huang Taiji, and was already aware of the nearby terrain. He said to Huang Taiji: "Xia Town has built a fort in the mountains near the valley entrance, and has stationed hundreds of troops. If Beileye wants to capture the Gukou Pass, he must guard against the fort defenders."

"Yuetu, you and Zhang Shide led the Han army's Zhengbai Banner and captured the fort within three days. As far as I know, there are only 300 defenders in the fort, and it should be almost done in three days."

Huang Taiji summoned an Eight Banner General to monitor Zhang Shide's attack on the Qihuo Army Fort.

Zhang Shide's brother Zhang Shicheng was brought by Huang Taiji and said to be a hostage.

The Qing Dynasty often saw nine sons competing for the throne, so those who could be called emperors had extremely strong political means. Huang Taiji knew that Zhang Shide and Zhang Shicheng had a deep relationship, so he kept Zhang Shicheng and forced Zhang Shide to work hard.

Zhang Shide had no choice but to take thousands of troops to attack the Qihuo Army Fort guarded by Chen Wu.

Zhang Shide met Chen Wu because of the salt and iron trade, but this time both sides became enemies.

There was a military general of the Eight Banners, Yue Tui, and Zhang Shide was not easy to let go.

After Huang Taiji was in Yuetuo, Zhang Shide sent troops to attack the Qihuo Army Fort, his sight returned to the Dongguan guarded by Liao Hua.

Huang Taiji's expression gradually became ferocious: "Capture this fort and razed it to the ground!"

Oboi rode a horse to Huang Taiji and shouted loudly: "I wish to climb first!"

"allow!"

"kill!"

Oboi skillfully turned his horse's head, pulled out his saber, and pointed to the valley entrance level!

The soldiers of the Yellow Flag pushed the carriage to block the rain of arrows from the level and to cover the archers and infantry to get close to the stone wall.

Huang Taiji also temporarily handed over the Han army's yellow flag to commander Oboi to attack the city.

Huang Taiji formed the Zhengbai Banner, the Inlaid Yellow Banner, the Han Army Zhengbai Banner, the Han Army Inlaid Yellow Banner, and Liu Zhiyuan's Han Army Inlaid White Banner. There were five flags of soldiers and horses, with the most two thousand soldiers and only a thousand people.

The Han army's yellow flag acted as cannon fodder and tested the forces of the defenders.

Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng waited and watched from behind.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Liao Hua organized a counterattack between Shu and the light infantrymen of Shu and the hundreds of light infantrymen bent their bows and arrows, and shot at the Han army's siege of the siege of the yellow flags.

Many arrows were inserted into the car, but it was difficult to penetrate the car.

The archers of the Yellow Flag inlaid were hidden behind the carriage. After approaching the city wall, they appeared from behind the carriage to suppress the light infantry of Shu Kingdom.

"The Stone Wall Guards' strength shall not exceed 500. Master Beile should take it quickly, otherwise the reinforcements in Xiazhen will arrive, and I'm afraid there will be more dreams."

Fan Wencheng observed the counterattack of Liao Hua's organization and judged the number of defenders based on the scale of arrow rain.

As Huang Taiji's planner, Fan Wencheng saw through Liao Hua's reality and reality.

Huang Taiji ordered: "Let Obai attack the city himself."

Oboi put on heavy armor, commanded the soldiers of the Yellow Banner, carried flying ladders, and attacked Dongguan fiercely.

"If reinforcements don't come again, they may be lost!"
