"General Sun, in this battle we died more than 8,200 people, including 5,300 people from Zunhua, more than 2,900 people died in Santun Camp, and nearly 3,000 people died in Jiannu!"
"Where are the gunners and firearms?"
"Because the gunners retreated in a timely manner, their preparations are complete. The Tiger Crouching Cannon and Franchise Cannon are both there.
Two hundred and twenty-four of the Junior General's cannons were blasted, and the remaining one hundred and thirty-six intact were transported away by the slaves. "
After Zhao Guangrui finished his report, he muttered: "This firearm is really speechless. It didn't explode when it was supposed to explode, and it exploded when it shouldn't.
If all of them were blown up, at least one or two thousand more Jian slaves would die. If more than a hundred doors were robbed by Jian slaves, our pressure would be even greater! "
"Jiannu is so courageous. Aren't you afraid of being entangled by us in this situation?"
Sun Zushou sighed, but did not speak.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon weighs only a few dozen kilograms and can be run by two sergeants. Although the French cannon is heavier, four sergeants can also run by carrying it.
But the small general cannon, which weighs one or two hundred kilograms, cannot retreat quickly at all. The only way is to use the jade-breaking method. If you can't take it back, then destroy it.
Unfortunately, only half of it was destroyed and was taken away by Jian Nu and used to attack Longjing Pass.
Ta da...ta da...
While he was thinking about countermeasures, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. The sergeants behind them moved out of the way, and several horses stopped in front of Sun Zushou and Zhao Guangrui.
Sun Zushou took one look and immediately stepped forward to help the old man on the horse down: "Mr. Yuan Ge, you are here!"
The person who came was none other than Yuan Keli from the rear army of Santun Camp. He hurriedly hurriedly and slowly caught up.
Yuan Keli glanced at the corpses on the battlefield in front and the Juma stakes ignited by the gunpowder explosion, and said calmly: "What's going on?"
Sun Zushou recounted what happened before and after, and also recounted the losses in the battle, and then said: "Mr. Ge, the last general was careless!"
Yuan Keli shook his head gently. It was not Sun Zushou's fault. In other words, Sun Zushou should not bear all the responsibility.
No one thought that Jiannu would destroy Hanerzhuang City, making it impossible for them to enter the city for defense.
And the mountain pass was blocked, so the scouts couldn't get any information. Naturally, they didn't know what was going on with the slaves.
The Ming army had just set up camp, and Jiannu used the cover of night and launched a desperate charge to create such a situation.
"Report...the slave-building army is preparing to cross the river!"
"Crossing the river?"
Listening to the scout's report, Yuan Keli repeated softly, and then his face became serious: "No, Jian Nu may take the opportunity to attack Longjing Pass!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Sun Zushou, Zhao Guangrui and others suddenly changed.
"Mr. Ge, if Jian Nu uses the same attack method as before and uses chariots to attack the city wall of Longjing Pass in a suicidal manner,
The city wall of Longjing Pass, which is one foot seven feet high and eight feet thick, cannot stop several thunderous bombardments! "
"Once the slaves break through the city wall and enter the city to fight in the warrior camp, all our firearms will be useless. At that time, we will have to fight hand-to-hand!"
"If we break through the blockade, Jian Nu will break through the blockade, and our siege plan will come to nothing!"
…
The generals expressed their opinions one after another, with serious expressions on their faces.
Yuan Keli's face was dull, but he was thinking quickly about countermeasures in his heart.
According to predictions, Jiannu should start attacking Longjing Pass tomorrow morning. By that time, they will entangle Jiannu and hold on until the arrival of the Beijing Camp and the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army to completely encircle and kill them.
However, Sun Zushou's horse-rejecting stake formation, the fall of Hanerzhuang City, and the capture of Fan Wencheng, Amin, and Dorgon completely stimulated Huang Taiji, who actually charged in the opposite direction and then attacked Longjing Pass in advance.
Although he knew that there were palm thunders and sky-shattering thunders carried by Yulei Camp at Longjing Pass, it was unknown whether he could block them under Jiannu's desperate attack.
The city wall was broken down and Jian Nu entered the city. No matter how powerful the palm thunder and the sky thunder were, they lost their effect.
The nearest reinforcements are the Tengxiang Left Guards and the 30,000 Shanhaiguan reinforcements 40 miles away, and the 5,000 white-armed soldiers from Qin Liangyu in Da'ankou City 80 miles away.
"At this time, we can only plan to annihilate the entire army and use up the Jiannu cavalry as much as possible."
Yuan Keli suddenly spoke, and then scanned the generals: "Zhou Wenyu will take people into the city immediately to see if there are any chariots in the city. If there are any, clean them out immediately!"
"Invite Cao Wenzhao, the commander of Tengxiang's left guard, to lead his troops to march towards Longjing Pass immediately and join us. At the same time, he will leave a thousand men behind to blow up the official road, chop down trees and block the official road, completely blocking the road to Xi'an. The official road at Fengkou."
"Send an order to Qin Liangyu of Da'ankou City to abandon Da'ankou City and immediately lead her army to support Longjing Pass."
"Invite Zhang Zhiji of the capital camp and Sun Chuanting, the commander of the imperial army, to march immediately."
"Sun Zushou, immediately count the horse piles and prepare them for later use!"
"The rest of the people, prepare the army and resist guarding the mountain pass to prevent Jiannu from counterattacking again!"
…
"The scouts are approaching the Luanhe River and will report immediately after Jiannu crosses the river!"
A series of military orders were issued, and the generals who received the orders quickly left.
Yuan Keli looked at the faint fire a few miles away. At this moment, they could only take action after Jiannu crossed the river.
Because Hanerzhuang City is a flat area, if we catch up at this time and Jiannu counterattacks again, the consequences will be serious.
And at the Daichuan Stone Bridge eight or nine miles away from Hanerzhuang City, Abatai, who had received Huang Taiji's military order, personally commanded,
Big trees with branches were thrown into the river, and then blocked by bridge piers and door panels. Big rocks were also thrown into the river and onto the big trees.
It has to be said that with this method, although the river was not completely blocked, the water flow has become very small. The water level downstream is less than a foot deep, which is enough for the army to pass.
Huang Taiji, who led the army to the river, saw this and immediately shouted: "Purchase the city gate, the army immediately moved, passing through five thousand elites first, followed by firearms, baggage, and finally other armies.
Go faster, this temporary dam won't last long! "
The army of slaves was on the move, and the city gate was paved with planks, which was as flat as the official road. They also knew that time was tight and the speed was extremely fast.
After an hour, no matter how hard the slaves worked to strengthen the temporary embankment upstream and downstream, the bridge piers finally collapsed under the heavy pressure, and the embankment was instantly washed away.
Looking at the dozens of elites washed away by the flood, Huang Taiji sighed in his heart, but his eyes revealed an expression of satisfaction.
Fortunately, 90% of the army has passed through, and it is only a matter of time for the remaining troops to wade through the three- to four-foot-deep river.
Watching this scene from a hidden place in the distance, Wu Pan sighed, Jiannu still crossed the river.
Even though they had powerful weapons like thunderbolts, he didn't arrange for anyone to blow up the temporary dam.
There were tens of thousands of people on the other side. If a few people from the Warrior Battalion could still get close to the river bank and blow up the temporary dam, then Huang Taiji would be stupid enough to commit suicide.
"Retreat, prepare for a bloody battle!"
Wu Pan said lightly, and led the people from Panshi Camp to quickly withdraw towards Longjing Pass.
