He didn't know how many Ming troops there were at Longjing Pass, but the Sanguan reinforcements that had just come for reinforcements numbered about four to five thousand, and Qin Gongming of the White Pole Soldiers was also there.
According to the art of war, the ten principles are to encircle, the five to attack, and the doubling to divide. It is really dangerous for Dai Jin's 50,000 troops to attack Longjing Pass.
Da da……
Another sound of horse hoofbeats came, this time from the direction of Hanerzhuang City.
After a while, thousands of Jiannu arrived at the Daichuan Stone Bridge with fifty squatting cannons captured from various castles.
"Great Khan, fifty tiger squatting cannons and ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder have all been delivered."
Listening to Azig's report, and then looking at the Shanhaiguan reinforcements that had already entered the mountain pass, Huang Taiji shouted: "Quickly place the squatting tiger artillery and shoot at the Ming army!"
Azig was not slow to respond and immediately commanded Sergeant Dajin to set up the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
But when they were all ready, Qin Gongming, who heard the noise, had already left the shooting range with reinforcements.
Jiannu worked in vain. Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
If you don't come early, you won't come late, but you come at this time.
It's really early... What a coincidence, it's better to come early. If you come half a quarter of an hour earlier, a salvo of fifty tiger cannons can kill part of the Shanhaiguan reinforcements.
He was depressed, but Huang Taiji also knew that Azig could not be blamed for this, so he immediately suppressed his anger and issued military orders.
"Set up all the Tiger Crouching Cannons, aim them at the mountain pass on the other side, and wait for military orders at any time!"
"Cut the gunpowder into twenty parts and bury it one foot deep along the river."
Huang Taiji looked at both sides of the river bank and pointed to a location seven or eight feet downstream of the Oichuan Stone Bridge.
After receiving the order, Jiannu stretched out his arms and started digging. You said that there are more people than strength, so it only took a quarter of an hour to dig. He put each pottery gunpowder jar into the hole and connected the lead.
"ignition!"
Seeing that the gunpowder was placed, Huang Taiji gave the order, and everyone immediately retreated.
There was a loud bang and rocks flew everywhere.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, a large pit nearly one foot in diameter and two to three feet deep appeared.
Huang Taiji looked at the big pit, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Very good, just follow this method and continue to explode until it is parallel to the river surface."
On the other side of the river, Qianhu Wupan of the Panshi Camp, who was outside the range of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, looked at this scene and his expression suddenly changed.
"No, hurry up and report to the commander, saying that the Jiannu army can cross the river within an hour and prepare for defense."
"Crossing the river? Lord Qianhu, are you saying that Jiannu is going to come over from the river bed?"
A deputy Qianhu responded quickly, and then said: "But this river is full of water, this..."
"Since Jiannu dares to do this, there must be a way. Leave a few scouts behind and the rest will retreat to Longjing Pass!"
Wu Pan's face was solemn.
In the next few moments, both sides of the Luanhe River were blown into a gentle slope three to four feet long and two to three feet wide.
At this time, Abatai also led another team of more than a thousand elites to the river.
"Khan, I brought everything!"
After Abatai finished speaking, he waved his hand, and dozens of slave-building elites carried huge boards to the river.
These are the four gates of Hanerzhuang City that Huang Taiji asked Mang Gurtai to dismantle, as well as the gates of the wealthy families in the city.
"Abatai, Ben Khan said, listen, you are stationed by the river, wait for Ben Khan's military order to arrive, and immediately follow the steps mentioned by Ben Khan.
The first step is to insert these door panels against the bridge piers.
The second step is to throw all the cut trees upstream of the bridge pier.
The third step is to throw the stones down immediately after the trees block the river. Throw the trees and stones quickly! Then reinforce the temporary embankment,
The fourth step is that after the river is blocked, the flow of water downstream will decrease. You immediately lay the city gate on the gentle slope. Do you understand? "
"I understand!"
Abata nodded cautiously and repeated it, and then said with confusion on his face: "Great Khan, why do we have to wait for your military order to start? Why don't you go now?
I heard that reinforcements from Shanhaiguan have just arrived at Longjing Pass. If we wait a little longer and the reinforcements from Longjing Pass increase, our situation will be in danger! "
"Wait one more hour!"
Huang Taiji shook his head, then turned to look in the direction of Hanerzhuang City, with murderous intent on his face: "I still have some things to deal with!"
After a few more instructions, he left quickly.
In just half a quarter of an hour, Huang Taiji met the army led by Mang Gurtai who set off from Hanerzhuang City.
Seeing Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai was full of surprise: "Great Khan, why are you back?"
"Mang Gurtai, order the generals to prepare to charge!"
"Charge? Where to charge from? Wasn't the Oikawa Stone Bridge blown up by the Ming army?"
Mang Gurtai was a little stunned, and then a bold idea flashed through his mind: "Great Khan, you mean to countercharge against the Zunhua pursuers who are catching up?"
"right!"
Huang Taiji's face was cold: "According to what happened to you and Amin, the pursuers in Zunhua City must have reinforcements from the Santun Camp, and they also carried a large number of firearms from the Santun Camp.
Reinforcements from other directions, whether from Shanhaiguan or Beijing City, must march quickly if they want to encircle us. They are unlikely to carry a large number of firearms such as squatting tiger cannons.
Therefore, the firearms of the Ming army that besieged us were also the firearms of the Santun Camp.
If they bombard us from behind when we attack Longjing Pass, we will definitely not be able to bear it. We must destroy some of the artillery, or even steal some of the artillery for our use. "
"Great Khan, you are right to say that. The Ming army has a horse-defying stake formation and firearms to cooperate. Let's charge..."
“Even if it costs tens of thousands of lives, it’s still worth it.
You have to know that although the few miles in front of Longjing Pass are flatter, tens of thousands of troops are concentrated together, and any cannonball may kill several warriors, so we have no choice! "
Huang Taiji directly interrupted Mang Gurtai's suggestion: "As for the Jima Zhuang Formation, it is easy to break.
We seized a lot of thunders from various castles. Hanerzhuang City seized chariots from the chariot camp. We selected some dead soldiers and used light tanks to carry the thunders and explode them directly.
It even rushed directly into the Ming army's firearms camp and exploded.
Secondly, increase the spacing and dislocation between cavalry to prevent stampedes. "
Listening to Huang Taiji's words, Mang Gurtai's eyes narrowed. Before he could say anything, he heard Huang Taiji continue: "The Ming army knows our situation and knows that we will speed towards Longjing Pass.
But let's do the opposite. The less likely we are to attack them, the more we will do it.
By taking advantage of the time interval between information transmission and the cover of night to catch him off guard, Ben Khan is 80% sure of success!
After the attack, the army returned directly to Luanhe River, and after crossing the river, they directly attacked Longjing Pass! "
"Go and choose the dead warriors and tell them that as long as they become the dead warriors, they will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
If they die in battle, their descendants will be hereditary Zhang Jing (Niulu is divided into four dadans, Zhang Jing is the boss of dadan, similar to the village chief), and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, fifty cattle, sheep and horses each.
Anyone who blows up the Ming army's firearms camp will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver, a hundred cattle, sheep and horses, and a manor in Shengjing.
Then inform the whole army that if you obey the military order, you will get a Ming army artillery and a reward of one hundred taels of silver! I'll give you half an hour to prepare. In half an hour, the Ming army should arrive outside Hanerzhuang City. We will make a surprise attack. "
"I'll go right away."
Mang Gurtai realized the seriousness of the matter and left in a hurry.
