"Manshuai, look, the Jingou's vanguard cavalry is about to enter the minefield!" A personal soldier beside Mangui said nervously.

"Rareless, what are you calling? Can't I see this?" Man Gui was also very nervous, and his heart was raised to his throat. He didn't know that this new style of land was not useful. If it didn't work, wouldn't it be ruined after most of the preparations. Today, half of the hope of defending the city and fighting was on it, so he scolded the personal soldier fiercely.

With a loud noise, the Later Jin horse rushing to the front of him had no idea what was going on. He just felt that the horse under his crotch seemed to have stepped on something. Then a loud noise followed, and the war horse under his crotch was blown into flesh and blood. He was blown into the sky by a huge wave of air. Then countless iron pieces flew into his body from the place where he exploded. Then he didn't know anything. When he landed on the ground, he was already a dead corpse.

The cavalry team behind him had no time to tie the reins, and were all stunned by the sudden situation in front of him. They didn't know how to react, so they let the horses get off their horses and gallop forward. Suddenly, the sound of explosions that were trampling on the horses kept ringing, and the horses were neighing, and were frightened. No matter how well-trained they were, they threw the Later Jin cavalry on their backs off their horses and trampled them to death.

When Manguertai and Tulai, who were commanding the troops behind, saw something wrong, quickly ordered to stop advancing and gather the remaining war horses entering the Shanhaiguan minefield. Before they could reach Shanhaiguan, the mines tightly caused him to lose nearly a thousand elite cavalry for a while. He couldn't help but wonder how the guards at Shanhaiguan knew the news. They had buried such powerful mines and cannons on the road they must pass in advance. There was still three miles away from here to Shanhaiguan. If the Ming army buried all the terrifying mines and guns in these three miles, how many people would he have to die to get to Shanhaiguan.

"Three Belors, the Khan asked us to seize Shanhaiguan and then attack the reinforcements of the Ming court with him. Now we can't even get under Shanhaiguan. Moreover, the Ming army at the close had obviously known the news of our sneak attack and was fully prepared. What should we do now?" Tu Lai went to check the real situation before. The explosion was just now, and the explosion was filled with his brother's broken arms and legs. It was a terrible sight. Many warriors who fought for a long time showed timidity, and their morale was suddenly lowered.

"Are there huge trees nearby?" Although Mangourtai was reckless, he was not a fool, otherwise he would not have been named one of the four major belors by Nurhaci.

"Yes, there is a hillside fifty miles away. Only two or three people can hug the trees on it?" Tu Lai thought for a moment.

"It doesn't need to be that big, just be thicker than your neck." said Mangourtai.

"This is easy to deal with, there will be more in the future!" Tu Lai laughed.

"I ordered people to cut down a hundred trees that are thicker than your neck, cut off the branches and leaves, go and return quickly, Benbeile is of great use!" Manguertai gave a hurried order.

"Three Beller?" Tulai still didn't understand.

"If you want you to go, you go, and you will understand later!" Manguertai kicked Tu Lai impatiently and said.

Tu Lai hurriedly organized 500 soldiers to cut down trees.

The violent explosion just now made the city guards at the city gate very satisfied and their morale increased. Mangui felt a little relieved when he saw this situation. He saw from the telescope that the Later Jin army first contracted and set up a defensive formation. Suddenly, he sent a team of about four or five hundred people to get on the horse and go backwards. What is Jindo going to do? A fog rose in Mangui's heart and could not see through it.

After nearly an hour, there was no movement in the Later Jin Dynasty. Man Gui could not judge what they were going to do, and his heart was filled with warnings and an ominous premonition.

"Man Shuai, the four or five hundred golden dogs are back just now!" The personal soldiers beside Man Gui came to report.

Man Gui hurriedly took out the telescope on his chest and looked at it. Among the four or five hundred people just now, there were not four or five horses dragging a bare tree behind it, with feet as thick as a head.

As soon as the trees arrived in the Later Jin army, the war horses in the Later Jin army suddenly became turbulent. All the soldiers stepped on the war horses again, leaving their swords, and fighting again, seemed to have found a way to deal with landmines.

"Two people are in groups, dragging a long wood. The person in front dies, and the person behind them follows. Anyone who dies in this battle will definitely report to the Khan to reward his family, so that his family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives and enjoy wealth and wealth. The warriors of the Dajin, it is time for you to make achievements!" Manguertai pulled out his sword and shouted!

"I wish to serve the Khan! I wish to serve the Khan! I wish to serve the Khan!" After three shouts, morale was immediately raised.

"Take this Shanhaiguan, the beautiful women in the Central Plains, gold, silver and treasures are all ours. These things should belong to the brave warriors of the Jin. How can the cowardly Han people deserve these things? Benbeile announced that as long as you go down Shanhaiguan, as long as you get back with your own hands, men are your slaves, and women are all your women. Benbeile doesn't want any gold, silver and jewelry, all of them are yours!" Manguertai shouted loudly again.

"Shanhaiguan! Shanhaiguan! Shanhaiguan!"

Under the stimulation of women, gold, silver and treasures, the remaining 19,000 elite soldiers of the Later Jin Eight Banners burst into an amazing battle, and their morale expanded to the peak!

First, the tragic mines began, and the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty continued, and finally opened up a road under Shanhaiguan with blood.

The decisive battle between Shanhaiguan, which has been recorded in history, began with the death of more than 1,500 sacrifices in the Later Jin Dynasty. Manguertai ordered the remaining trees to trap the chariots and ordered people to rush into the city gate of Shanhaiguan with artillery fire. They were cavalry and could not carry too many siege weapons. The only one was dozens of ladders. Therefore, the breakthrough point for their siege was at the city gate. As long as they entered the city gate, the Ming army's firearms and bows would not hurt people, so they could continuously break open the city gate.

The outside of the city gate of Shanhaiguan is wrapped in fine steel and is extremely tight. It is so easy to break open. When closing the red cannon, there are enough shells. It is impossible for Manguertai to take down Shanhaiguan in a short time. He also made enough concerns. As long as he can capture Shanhaiguan in one day, the gate of the Central Plains will be opened for Dajin from then on, and Huang Taiji's tactical goal of attacking front and back can be achieved.

Just as Mangurtai was commanding a large army to attack Shanhaiguan, Xiong Tingbi led 25,000 infantry to follow him and formed an encirclement of Mangurtai's army. Xiong Tingbi knew that it was unlikely that they would completely wipe out the 20,000 elite cavalry of Mangurtai with their current strength, so he deliberately exposed a weak point in the northwest corner of the encirclement and arranged a lot of surprises for him on that route.

Xiong Tingbi's army suddenly appeared behind Mangourtai, and immediately scared the mango who was commanding the attack on Shanhaiguan to death. He immediately realized that he had fallen into the trap of others.

Xiong Tingbi brought a generous gift to Mangourtai and Tulai, that is, grenades. Grenades were first invented in China. In 1000 AD, a firearm called "fireball" or "cannon" appeared in the Song Dynasty. The principle is the same as that of modern grenades. In the military book "The General Essence of Wujing", published in 1044, there were thunder fireballs, quinoa fireballs, poisonous powder fireballs, smoke balls, fireballs, and other kinds of ammunition that can be dropped by hand. This can be regarded as the prototype of the earliest grenade. In the early 13th century, an iron shell explosion weapon "Sky Thunder" appeared in the Chinese army, which is almost the same as modern grenades. After Chen Yang's improvement, the use of wooden handles greatly improved the throwing performance. Although not many, it was enough for Mangourtai to drink a pot.

Man Gui on Shanhai Pass saw from the telescope a sudden riot in the rear formation of the Later Jin army. Then there was a continuous explosion. The rear formation of the Later Jin army suddenly turned over and the formation was in chaos. He knew that Xiong Tingbi had arrived. He was overjoyed and shouted to the personal soldiers beside him: "I am the general order, and our reinforcements launched an attack behind Jingou and killed me hard!"

The general guarding the city at the gate was shocked when he heard this, his morale suddenly increased, his courage doubled, and the gunners who were driving the artillery were much more accurate than before.

Perhaps the front and back battles of Shanhaiguan were not as tragic as those of Ningyuan's defense, but it was the turning point of the Ming Dynasty's war toward the Later Jin Dynasty, so it was permanently recorded in history, and Man Gui and Xiong Tingbi also established his position in the army of the Ming Empire.

Under the front and back attacks of Man Gui and Xiong Tingbi, Manguertai and his remaining more than 10,000 elite cavalry exploded with amazing combat power. In real close-knit melee battles, the Ming army almost always opposed them, so Man Gui and Xiong Tingbi adopted limited long-range combat, muskets, cannons, Fran machine cannons, including bows and arrows, and limited grenades. Under the sharp firearms of the Ming army, the elite cavalry of the Eight Banners were killed or injured. It was because four legs were faster than two legs. Manguertai was stunned by the strange fighting style of the Ming army and hurriedly ordered Tulai to gather soldiers to break through. He was worthy of being a military quaintance. The general with excellent qualities soon found the breakout intersection set up by Xiong Tingbi for him. Now he could no longer care whether there was a trap in front of him. He led about 5,000 remaining soldiers to break through, but he accepted a landmine gift from Xiong Tingbi on the way. Until after Manguertai escaped, he pointed out the number of people. He was less than one-tenth of the army when he went out to fight. He was ashamed and angry that he wanted to commit suicide on the spot. If Tu Lai dissuaded from time to time, the three belles would have really gone to see their shaman. After this battle, Manguertai was depressed and gradually became seriously ill. He died within three years.

Xiong Tingbi won this battle and threw the task of cleaning the battlefield and collecting spoils to Mangui, then left behind the wounded soldiers and led the remaining army of less than 20,000 to march day and night to Ningyuan City. Manguertai fled to the northwest. He wanted to arrive in Ningyuan before Manguertai's defeated soldiers returned to the Huangtai Camp, hoping that Wu Sangui's eight thousand people could survive until he arrived.

Xiong Tingbi did not know that Wu Sangui actually took the risk of using a trick of surrender, and in a very dangerous situation, he tempted Ajige to attack the camp at night, set up a trap in the camp, and captured Ajige alive. At the same time, the five thousand elite soldiers led by Ajige who attacked the camp either became prisoners under the ranks or ghosts under the sword. With Ajige in his hands, Wu Sangui was not afraid that Huang Taiji would do anything to his father and brother!

This naturally exposed Wu Sangui's true strength. Fortunately, there was a hostage in hand, so Huang Taiji didn't dare to do anything to him!

Huang Taiji could not ignore the lives of his brothers, otherwise he would be called the crime of killing his brothers by using the enemy's hands, and cut off several low-level generals and officials of the Ming army. In the end, he obediently exchanged Wu Xiang's family and the captured Ming army for the captured Ajige and the Eight Banners soldiers.

At the moment when Wu Sangui and Huang Taiji were negotiating, Xiong Tingbi marched urgently and finally arrived before the negotiation and handing over the person. Huang Taiji wanted to wait until the exchange of people, and it was impossible for him to launch a large army to strangle Wu Sangui.

In the battle of Ningyuan, Huang Taiji lost nearly 30,000 elite troops. He felt distressed that he fell down when he saw Tu Lai like a savage. Now his military strength is far inferior to that of the Ming army. If Xiong Tingbi's army and Yuan Chonghuan from Ningyuan City attacked each other, he would probably not have to go back to Shengjing. The only way left is to withdraw troops and negotiate.
