As the morning sun rises and the biting north wind howls, the low elephant closes the north gate and the war drums of the Eight Banners beat.

The Eight Banners soldiers gave up their horses and picked up their bows and arrows. Their footsteps were clanging with the sound of armor leaves. They ran forward one by one. Dozens of tiger cannons captured in the Ming Dynasty, inlaid with blue flags and pressed on the bottom of the box, were placed one by one in front of the queue. The captured gunners from the Ming army yelled and shouted under the Jurchen steel knife. They placed barrels of gunpowder behind the guns. Groups of gunners and auxiliary soldiers ran back and forth, busy pouring gunpowder into the muzzles of the guns and pounding them with wooden sticks. After that, he loaded the projectiles and began to adjust the angle of the muzzle. When all this was done, he stood aside and waited for the superior's order to fire thousands of guns to avenge his deputy commander.

The ladders that were built all night long were erected without enough time to cut off the branches. Instead, they were erected with rough angular branches. The sword and shield soldiers who climbed the city nervously held the swords and shields in their hands, ready at any time. Climb the city and deal a decisive blow to the enemy who blocks your progress to get rich and get promoted.

Li Yongfang, who was temporarily appointed as the siege commander by Bei Amin, was on horseback, standing behind his own Han army formation with a solemn face. There was no hesitation, no pity or mercy, and no invitation to fight with the Ming army on the opposite side. There was no persuasion to surrender, only a fight to the death. .

Li Yongfang has already felt the equipment and morale of the mining soldiers at the head of Guancheng, as well as the strong fighting spirit contained in them. These mining soldiers were his original opponents.

In May of the first year of Tianqi, Emperor Nurhaci of the Jin Dynasty sent two princes-in-law, deputy generals Wu Ergudai and Li Yongfang to lead 3,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Zhenghuang Banner and 20,000 Han army slaves to Dongshan and Tieshan (Liaodong) to suppress .The miners who rebelled against shaving their heads in Dongshan were unyielding and bravely faced the enemy, which stopped several Eight Banners generals from advancing and caused Li Yongfang's Han army to suffer heavy casualties. In the end, the miners were defeated. He originally had 10,000 Han troops, but only 1,000 were left. In order to vent his anger and amass money, Li Yongfang ordered the sword not to be sealed for ten days, killing tens of thousands of mining soldiers and their families.

But those Han soldiers were still not satisfied and excavated the ancestral graves of the Dongshan Tieshan Mining Soldiers in order to obtain the burial objects in the tombs. In this way, the Mining Soldiers and Dai Jin became a mortal enemy.

When they meet again today, they are even more jealous. The mine soldier is determined to die, and Li Yongfang is determined to eliminate this future trouble to comfort his uneasy heart.

In fact, Li Yongfang felt a little guilty because she had done everything right. Digging up people's ancestral graves was always a dishonorable thing.

But what else can be done?

This is where the injustice of fate lies. Although the Han troops under his command fought to the death for the imperial court and for the great gold, they never regretted it. However, the treatment they received from the Han troops was nothing but hunger and cold. Apart from the lack of clothing, what else was there? Nothing. .I have shed my blood and my life for this court and that aloof emperor, but what I have received is the suppression of the Jurchen ministers, the contempt of the world, and the hunger after hunger.

In order to regain control of the strength, he had to resort to all kinds of calculations and beg for mercy in order to regain control of these Han troops. However, he did not have much supply of food and grass, and he was still facing difficulties.

Now it's good. You can tell from the equipment and physical condition of the mining soldiers on the opposite side. This group of mining soldiers is really well-equipped. Now, the front is the source of his money, food and weapons supplies. As long as he is defeated, even if the Jurchen Eight Banners take If you win the big head, you can also get rich rewards. As long as you defeat them, when the result appears in your mind, you will start to feel sad. When did you start, your high-profile consort with a large amount of money got to this point? To survive the winter by robbing the enemy of grain, grass, and money.

Now it doesn’t matter why we fight or who we fight with. It’s just so that we can live a better life. We have to fight with people of the same species and clan. Whose fault is it? I can’t tell. It’s just that you have something I need. and the necessities for survival, nothing more.

It was Li Yongfang's helpless choice to give up his sad thoughts and do what he is doing now. Facing the low Xiangguan, facing the Han people who were his compatriots, when he knelt down in front of Nurha Chima, his old father I was so angry, but at that moment, I had no choice but to live and die.

Well, let's fight so that I can survive better.

"Flag Master, we divided our troops to surround this fort. The army passed quickly and caught up with Mao Wenlong's old camp. What was left was a massacre." Tong Yangxing said: "It is said that Mao Wenlong went through three battles. During the great war, countless treasures were captured."

Amin couldn't help but scorned him, he was really an idiot, he was really a businessman, how could he have any real ability.

The method is very good, but it depends on who they are. These mine soldiers are not easy to deal with. If we surround them without the supervision of the Eight Banners Jurchen, how many slaves will be needed to surround them and prevent them from leaving? Once our army In the past, those mine soldiers cut off our retreat. If we pursued them, we would be attacked from both sides. There was only one result - a more serious but disastrous defeat.

There is only one way for me now, to lay down this elephant barrier, avenge the Anfeyangu brothers, and then - wait for the old Khan's imperial edict to withdraw his troops.

"Chinese army sends the order, attack..." Looking at the hesitant and cowering Han army, Amin was too lazy to talk nonsense with Tong Yangxing, who knew nothing about military affairs. He waved his hand and gave the order.

He thought he was extremely smart, but Tong Yangxing just stood aside and complained and muttered innocently.

The war drums rumbled, and the five hundred and eight banner cavalrymen, holding broadswords and urging their horses, pushed towards the Han troops.

As a red flag fell down in the Eight Banners formation, bursts of white smoke erupted from the muzzle of the black Tiger Gun in front of the Han army's formation, followed by a series of earth-shaking loud noises.

"Get down, get down quickly." Mao Zhongming was an officer and soldier, and knew that Tiger Zun was suitable for defense, field battles, and city siege. The teacup-sized projectiles were still Hou Jin's poor, and the stone bullets he replaced were of no concern to Qing Shi Lei. The city had no effect. As long as everyone lay down behind the parapet, it would be safe, so they ran back and forth on the fortress and shouted loudly.

A scream that suppressed the howling of the biting cold wind tore through the icy air.

Dozens of stone cannonballs whizzed past overhead and immediately crashed to the ground in front and behind the fortress.

It hit as far as it flew over everyone's heads, and hit as close as it hit the frozen ground in front of the fortress, making a small crater in the iron-like frozen soil. Those stone eggs immediately shattered into millions of pieces. The shrieks of death were scattered in all directions.

There were not many stone bullets hitting the fortress, but the broken stone bullets and stone fragments flew among each other. The brothers hiding behind the female wall were hit by the stone fragments and howled miserably.

"Don't be afraid, lower your body and hold on, hold on." Mao Zhongming ran back and forth, braving the flying stone bullets. He kept shouting and comforting, suppressing the panicked mine soldiers one by one, cheering them up and letting them Peace of mind.

After one round of stone bombs, the Xiangguan bluestone was nothing but pockmarks. The effect was more shocking than harmful.

The red flag of the Han army fell again, another burst of white smoke flew up, and another burst of shrieking stone bullets hit the face. This shock was more oppressive than facing a hand-to-hand fight with swords and guns. A timid mine soldier was The thrilling screams frightened him to death. This kind of shock was no longer the feeling of fighting face to face. It was the feeling of powerlessness of being suppressed and slaughtered without a chance to fight back. So he suddenly dropped the gun in his hand and howled. Shouting meaningless syllables, he fled to the fortress. His escape aroused panic among the soldiers around him. Each of the soldiers holding spears began to look left and right in fear, and the morale of the soldiers was shaken.

Wang Zhi was startled. His eyes turned red at that time. He flew towards him and chopped off the deserter's head with one stroke of his sword, neatly.

While everyone was in shock, Wang Zhi picked up the head and ran along the low wall of the fortress while shouting at the top of his lungs: "Now I declare that those who retreat will be killed by the brothers behind them. I will kill the brothers behind me who retreat after I retreat." , Mao Zhongming killed him. When the whole army retreated, the commander-in-chief killed him."

Mao Zhongming raised his sword and shouted: "To avenge the country and hate the family, we will fight to the death and never retreat."
