At this time, Wu Xiang also rushed over with his armor on.
"Wu Zongbing, do you estimate how many Jiannu there are down here?" Yuan Chonghuan pointed to the Jiannu who were building a tent below.
Jian Nu didn't seem to want to launch an attack immediately, but set up his tent about four miles away from the city wall.
Wu Xiang squinted her eyes and looked at Jiannu, only to see Jiannu's tents stretching for several miles, and there were many figures among them, "I'm afraid there are 3 people."
Wu Xiang looked at the Jiannu who were camping, and said solemnly.
"3 people? I'm afraid this is the main force for building slaves."
"Looking at the color of the armor, it seems to be Huang Taiji's two yellow flags, Mang Gurtai's Zhenglan flag, and Amin's Xianglan flag." Wu Xiang looked at Jiannu who was camping in the distance, with a sad face road.
Of course, these men and horses are not the two yellow flags, the blue flags, and the blue flags that are serious.
All the serious and eight classics were brought to Xifengkou by Huang Taiji, ready to break through and enter.
These people are just confuse fakes made up of the coated slaves in Shengjing City and some disabled veterans who have retired from the Eight Banners, and there are no more than 3 people.There are only 3000 people in support, but there are more tents.Most of the tents are still empty, with nothing inside.
Unless you walk in and look, otherwise, you can't find anything from the outside.
"The main force of building slaves, this is a big trouble, report it to the imperial court quickly." Yuan Chonghuan said worriedly looking at the building slave camps outside the city.
……
"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, and those who stop me will die. Eight hundred miles, hurry up, and those who stop me will die!"
A knight from Liaodong slammed the whip in his hand towards the horse under his crotch, passed through the city gate, and headed for the palace.
A few quarters of an hour later, a letter from Liaodong was urgently placed on Chongzhen's desk.
"Big Companion, do you think this military letter is true or not?" Chongzhen put down the eight hundred miles in his hand, and looked at Cao Huachun who was standing beside him.
Cao Huachun said: "It should be true, no matter how courageous this Yuan Chonghuan is, he would not dare to use eight hundred li to rush to fool the emperor.
The last time I took a team to Liaodong for a secret investigation, I didn't find anything wrong with Yuan Chonghuan.Moreover, Jiannu did send troops to Shanhaiguan that time, and Yuan Chonghuan did not lie.
Although what Yuan Chonghuan said was correct, Guan Ning's army could handle it at the level last time, and there was no need to mobilize troops from other places. "
"Hmph, I know exactly what Yuan Chonghuan has in mind. He just wants to learn from Li Chengliang and raise his self-respect!" Chongzhen snorted coldly, noncommittal.
"Let's hand over this letter to the cabinet, and let them come up with a charter."
Since the incident last time, Chongzhen was quite disappointed with Yuan Chonghuan.At the same time, he was skeptical of anything Yuan Chonghuan said.
Otherwise, according to Chongzhen's temperament, it is impossible for Chongzhen to throw this eight-hundred-mile urgent letter to the cabinet.
……
"Woooooo!"
A low-pitched horn sounded ten miles away from Xifeng's mouth.
In an instant, the tents that stretched for more than ten miles became noisy.Countless people rushed out of the camp and rushed forward.
An hour later, everyone gathered in an open space directly in front of the camp.
Huang Taiji was riding on a war horse. He was wearing a bright yellow visor, and his sharp eyes swept over these soldiers.
"Today, Ben Khan is going to lead you to do a big thing, that is to rush into Daming Pass, loot the capital of Daming, and attack the capital of Daming.
Ben Khan can promise you that if you take down the capital, you will not be able to seal the sword for ten days. "
Huang Taiji drew out the waist knife from his waist, pointed at the sky obliquely, and shouted sharply: "Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill kill kill kill!"
All of a sudden, countless Eight Banners soldiers screamed.They waved the weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of madness.
This time, when Huang Taiji entered the customs, he stayed behind in the central army, and the forward led by Mang Gurtai had already set off first.
In addition to its own Zhenglan Banner, Manggurtai also had four Han Eight Banners.
For Huang Taiji, these Han Eight Banners could just be used to consume the strength of the Ming army.
In addition to his own two yellow flags, Huang Taiji also led the Zhenghong Banner and the four Han Eight Banners.
As for the rear army, it is the Xianglan Banner led by A Min and the Zhengbai Banner led by Dole Gun.
Daishan led the rest of the troops to stay in Shengjing.
In this battle, Huang Taiji almost came out in full force, with a total of 20 troops, claiming [-].
"The army is attacking!" Huang Tai shouted loudly, then turned his horse's head and rushed towards the south.
"kill!"
All of a sudden, there was constant shouting and killing, except for the rear army, everyone roared and followed behind Huang Taiji, rushing towards the entrance of Xifeng mightily.
Amin's rear army packed up the tents, and they would follow after they finished packing up.
The sun was gradually setting to the west, and the defenders on the Great Wall at Xifengkou looked at the setting sun and squatted on the Great Wall boredly.
"Oh, I'm freezing to death. The weather is getting colder and sooner." A soldier who was over thirty years old with a dimpled face leaned against the female wall, stuffing his hands into his sleeves, unwilling to come out.
"Who says it's not, the weather is getting colder every year. The clothes on us can't resist for a long time. If it takes a few more days, I'm afraid we will be frozen to death. Somehow, this year the court Why haven't you paid for the cotton coat yet?" A younger man said helplessly.
"Hey, the cotton-padded clothes were allocated. I think it's better to forget about it if you count on the imperial court. The cotton-padded clothes allocated last year were all stuffed with reed flowers, and there was no cotton at all.
Even if the cotton-padded clothes are allocated this year, it will not be much better.I'm thinking now, when will the imperial court make up the military salary owed to us.The guy at home gave birth to a big fat boy for me last month, and I'm still waiting for money to support my son. "The man who was over [-] years old and full of ravines had a smile on his face, and when he thought of his fair and clean son, his heart felt hot.
"Boom boom boom!"
At this moment, a strange sound came from a distance.
"What sound?" The man over thirty years old narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.
"Why do I feel like this is the sound of a large number of cavalry?"
"A large number of cavalry? Impossible, we at Xifengkou can't fight a battle all year round. Where did the cavalry come from?"
The man over thirty stood up blankly and looked into the distance.
"This is... Jiannu!!!" The man looked at the cavalrymen coming from a distance, his face full of disbelief.
"What Jiannu? I said, old Wang, our place is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Liaodong. How could there be Jiannu?"
A young soldier stood up slowly, looking out with a puzzled expression.
I saw a large group of cavalry rushing towards this side at high speed, which looked as large as [-], and each of them was wearing cotton armor. The banner of the cavalry was the banner of Liaodong Jiannu.
"Hurry up, hurry up, light the beacon!"
The young man's face was full of disbelief, and he was trembling all over.
Such a large number of slave-building troops had never appeared at Xifengkou.For a moment, the soldiers guarding the city wall became tense.
This is Jiannu, this Jiannu is ten thousand times more vicious than the Tartars.
Mangurtai was dressed in cotton armor and rushed to the front of the team.
He looked at the city wall at Xifengkou with a cold smile on his face.
"Hehe, let's go all out today and break through the Xifeng Pass directly. When the time comes, the world will be so big, let me gallop!"
Mangurtai led the forward and stopped directly two miles away from the city wall of Xifengkou.
"Everyone dismount!"
Mang Gurtai stopped, jumped off his horse, and shouted to the guards beside him.
"Everyone dismount, Master Belle ordered, everyone dismounts."
With Mang Gurtai's orders, the personal guards ran non-stop in the army at high speed.
Mang Gurtai held a defense map of Xifengkou defenders in his hand. He looked at the defense map in his hand, and then at the city wall of Xifengkou.
"Give me an order to get Gu Shan'erzhen from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to roll over to me."
Mang Gurtai put away the defense map and shouted to the guards beside him.
"twitter!"
The guard let out an angry roar and rushed towards the rear in a hurry.
Not long after, the four Gushan foreheads of the Han Eight Banners ran to Mang Gurtai's side.
"The slave has seen the master!"
Gu Shanezhen of the four Han Eight Banners bowed to Mang Gurtai with a flattering face.
Mang Gurtai said with disgust on his face: "Okay, you guys get up quickly."
"My servant thanked the master." The four Gu Shane really stood up from the ground, and stood respectfully beside Mang Gurtai, not even daring to lift their heads.
Mang Gurtai looked at them, and said in a deep voice: "Now I give you an order, you lead your own troops to break through the city wall of Xifengkou. Of course, I don't want you to die, this is Xifeng The defense map of the mouth."
Mang Gurtai took out the defense map and handed it to them.
Of course, the matter of siege must be handed over to these Han Eight Banners. After all, the siege battle is the battle with the most casualties.For Mang Gurtai, how could the lives of the Han people compare to the lives of the Jurchens?
"Now the deployment map is also handed over to you. If you can't attack and delay the time to enter the customs, then don't blame me." Mang Gurtai said with a frosty face.
"Master, don't worry, I have the defense plan in hand, if I still can't break through the Xifeng entrance, the slave will come to see me."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, go for me quickly. I don't want Huang Taiji to come, I haven't broken through the Xifeng Pass yet."
Mang Gurtai waved at them disgustedly like swat a fly.
"twitter!"
The four Gu Shan'er really took the defense map and quickly moved towards the rear.
A few quarters of an hour later, [-] Han and Eight Banners soldiers walked towards Xifengkou from the rear carrying various siege weapons.

Chapter 164
"All on the walls, all on the walls."
A Ming army general held a long knife, stood on the top of the city and shouted angrily at the soldiers who were gathering below.
Gu Shanezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty held a long knife, looked at the moat in front of the city wall, and shouted angrily: "Fill it for me."
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of Han Eight Banners soldiers rushed forward carrying the sacks filled with soil.
"Hurry up and shoot the arrows, aim at those who carry the sacks, and shoot for me quickly." The Baihu leaned under the female wall, poked his head out and saw the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han who were about to fill the moat.
Xifeng Pass is surrounded by low mountains and hills, the altitude rises from more than 200 meters in the south to more than 1000 meters in the north. The terrain is abrupt and the traffic is difficult.The valley road formed by the Luan River makes it a natural passageway between the north and the south.
At the Xifeng Pass, the left and right high cliffs confront each other, and the terrain is dangerous.From here, it leaves the pass and goes east to the Daling River Basin, north to the upper reaches of the Liao River in the West and the eastern part of the Mongolian Plateau, and to the southwest via Zunhua and Jizhou (now Jixian), an important town in northern Hebei, to the capital.
Xifengkou pass was built in the Jingtai period, more than 200 years ago.From the reign of Jingtai to the present, the imperial court has repaired Xifengkou several times.
The biggest one was during the Jiajing period, when Xifengkou Fort was built.Located behind the Xifengkou pass, it is used to store ordnance and supplies and for relatives of soldiers to live.
The most recent time was during the Wanli period, when Qi Jiguang was in Jizhen Town, he presided over the renovation of Xifengkou, and added hundreds of smoke piers, roadside piers, and beacon towers.
It's just that the imperial court is in financial difficulties now, and many roadside piers and beacon towers have been abandoned.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Mangurtai to arrive at Xifengkou so smoothly.
If Jiannu hadn't obtained the defense map of Xifengkou, it would not be so easy to break through Xifengkou.
"Archery, archery!"
Wielding his long knife, the chief yelled at the Jianu who was filling the moat below.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The Ming army standing on the city wall aimed at the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners below, and directly let go of the bowstring in their hands.
For a while, the sound of bowstrings shook like a forest.Countless arrows shot down.
The horizontal distance between the moat and the city wall is no more than fifty steps, and the vertical distance is no more than four feet.In addition, the Ming army was standing on the city wall, so the arrows shot were farther away.
"Puff puff!"
In an instant, twenty or thirty Han Eight Banners soldiers were shot by bows and arrows.
The sacks they carried on their shoulders fell directly to the ground, and fell into the moat together with them.
Some Han Eight Banners soldiers who were hit by arrows but were not fatal fell in the moat, speeding non-stop, hoping that someone could help him.
