Because of its weight, it takes a lot of strength to throw this kind of grenade, which is said to be an enemy of thousands of people. But if it is thrown from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, it couldn't be easier. Even a child can easily throw it. .
The Guan Ning Army who had just rushed under the city wall of Shanhaiguan did not wait for them to climb up the city wall. As grenades were thrown down the city wall, the Guan Ning Army under the city wall suffered heavy casualties.
And there were more injured than dead, and there were screams and wailings.
The dead could no longer hear it, but the living people were so frightened by these screams and wails that they had no intention of fighting anymore.
boom! boom! boom!
The fire cannons on the top of the city were fired at Guan Ning's army below the city, harvesting the lives of Guan Ning's soldiers below.
The explosives in the gun are all tamped with iron rods, so there is no chance that the bullets will fall out with the mouth of the gun facing downwards.
Once it was discovered that Ning's soldiers under the city wanted to shoot arrows at the city wall with bows and arrows, grenades were immediately thrown over, and they coordinated with the firecrackers' attack.
In a short period of time, the soldiers of Guan Ning who attacked the city wall of Shanhaiguan suffered heavy casualties.
Zu Dashou in the distance looked at the battle under Shanhaiguan City with an expressionless face.
When he noticed that the soldiers and horses sent had too many casualties and were unable to attack the defenders on the city wall, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Send another team up."
"Master, are you still sending someone up?" The soldiers were hesitant about Zu Dashou's order.
Even his own soldiers could see that it would be difficult to threaten Shanhaiguan by sending troops immediately at this time.
"Pai, go and pass the order immediately." Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and spat out.
The soldiers had no choice but to run to deliver the order.
However, the Guan Ning army sent to attack Shanhaiguan again did not dispatch. Instead, a guerrilla general from below came over.
"Master, we can't fight any more. If we keep fighting like this, we won't be able to capture Bushan Pass." The guerrilla general looked at Zu Dashou sadly.
The battle has continued until now. Guan Ning's army has killed and injured thousands of people, but it does not threaten Shanhaiguan at all. Can everyone understand that unless the Shanhaiguan defenders are stupid, they will not do anything to Shanhaiguan if they continue to fight. threaten.
Zu Dashou looked at the guerrilla general who came over and said, "You don't have to lead the troops to attack the city yourself, but the troops under your command must attack the city immediately."
"I will not be smart at all." This guerrilla general did not want his soldiers to die because of Zu Dashou's stupid order.
Zu Dashou's face immediately turned cold and said: "I am not going to discuss this with you again. If you dare to disobey the order, I will chop off your head first and then send your men to attack the city."
"Then chop off the general's head. The general will never let his men die in vain." The guerrilla general strangled his neck.
He did this not because he was not afraid of death, but because he did not believe that Zu Dashou would chop off his head.
Seeing the other party's challenge, Zu Dashou pointed at the other party and said with a dark face: "Come here, take him down and take care of him."
Two soldiers of Zu Dashou walked up from the side, clamped the guerrilla general on the left and right, and dragged him directly behind him.
"Master, you can't do this! Brothers can't die in vain! Let me go!" The dragged guerrilla general shouted at Zu Dashou, hoping that Zu Dashou would change his mind.
Zu Dashou didn't even look at the guerrilla general. Instead, he said to Zu Dabi next to him: "Go and take over his troops and arrange for them to attack the city."
"Brother, I think we really shouldn't continue to attack the city." Zu Dabi couldn't help but persuade again.
Guan Ningjun is their future foundation in Daijin. Every additional death for them is a deepening and reduction of their foundation.
Zu Dashou hesitated for a moment, sighed softly, and said: "If we attack again and it still doesn't work, I will arrange for a retreat."
Seeing what he said, Zu Dabi had no choice but to replace the guerrilla general and take over the other party's troops.
A group of more than 1,000 Guan Ning soldiers once again launched an attack on the city wall of Shanhaiguan.
After Zu Dabi sent out Guan Ning's army of more than a thousand soldiers, he returned to Zu Dashou.
At the Two White Flags position not far from Zu Dashou and the others, Dorgon and Duoduo were also paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
When Duduo watched another Guan Ning army being sent out to die, he couldn't help but said: "This Han dog is really cruel. His men are sent out to die for nothing. They can't do it while they are surrounded by white flags." This kind of thing happens."
He despised Guan Ningjun's suicide behavior from the bottom of his heart.
"Zu Dashou is a smart man." Dorgon said.
Hearing this, Duduo glanced at Dorgon and said, "Brother Fourteen, do you know something? Reveal it to me!"
He felt that Dorgon must know something that he didn't know.
"As Zu Dashou, a Ming army general who has led the army for many years, do you think he can't see that attacking Shanhaiguan is risking death?" Dorgon asked back, but before Duduo could speak, he continued, "This Zu Dashou is A smart person would do this after guessing what the Khan was thinking."
"What was the Great Khan thinking? Did Huang Taiji say anything to him?" Duduo asked curiously.
After hearing this, Dorgon glared at Duduo and scolded him: "How many times have I told you not to call the Great Khan by his first name? Why can't you remember it?"
"I know, I will pay attention to it in the future." Duduo replied disapprovingly, and then asked, "Brother Fourteen, please tell me carefully, Emperor, what is the Khan thinking?"
Noticing that Dorgon's expression was wrong, he changed his words in time.
Dorgon couldn't do anything about his own brother, so he said: "I didn't guess it at first, but now that I saw Zu Dashou sending his Guan Ning army to die, I guessed a little bit."
"Speak quickly, tell me quickly, I'm very curious." Duduo urged.
Dorgon glanced at Guan Ning's army in the distance and said: "I suspect that the Great Khan sent Guan Ning's army to attack Shanhaiguan on purpose to let Guan Ning's army die."
"How is this possible!" Duduo looked disbelieving.
He knew that Huang Taiji tried hard to win over Zu Dashou and Guan Ningjun, but it took a lot of effort.
Dorgon looked left and right, and then whispered: "Let me ask you, how many soldiers do we have in the Eight Banners, not counting the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army, only our Eight Banners of the Jurchens."
"Usually we can always have 40,000 to 50,000, but if we all go to the battlefield, we will definitely be able to make up 80,000 to 90,000," Duduo said.
Dorgon added: "One Guan Ning army can pull out an army of sixty or seventy thousand, not counting those from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, otherwise there will be more."
"What's the point? No matter how many there are, they are still dog slaves. Brother Fourteen, you don't really think that the so-called Han Eight Banners are our Eight Banners soldiers!" Duduo said contemptuously.
He looked down on the Han people from the bottom of his heart. As long as he could remember, their Jurchen soldiers could easily deal with the Ming army. Often dozens of Jurchen soldiers could chase and kill thousands of Ming soldiers.
