What Xiao Alin didn't expect was that Zhuketu on the east side had an order.

"Don't be impatient, wait until our department has made some moves."

According to Nikan's previous deployment, when Zhuketu and Xiao Alin's two troops arrived near Shanhaiguan, they were still under the command of Zhuketu, so Xiao Alin had to suppress his manic mood.

In the Hanhai Army sequence, except Nikan, Xiao Alin was only afraid of two people, one was Alin. He believed that Alin seemed to be unrestrained and had no outstanding force and wisdom, but he was better because of his strong overall view. In addition, he was loyal to Nikan, and was not as happy and angry as he was confused. This made Xiao Alin, who had always been arrogant, very uncomfortable. There were such a person among the Sauron people, which he did not expect.

"This guy looks like a Han guy."

Then there is Zhuketu. This guy is actually more arrogant than Xiao Alin, but he is crazy in his bones, but his face is much more stable than him. In addition, this person seems rough but actually delicate, and his face is very feminine with his mourning face, and the trace of contempt he often carries with his small eyes also makes Xiao Alin a little uncomfortable.

He still admired these two people even though they were discomfort.

So he stationed here, waiting for the result of Zhuketu.

After Zhuketu's army arrived east of Shanhaiguan, he used Wu Sangui's guidance to cross the Jiujiang River first with Yang Tingdong's troops and defeated the 5,000 cavalry of Gu Kecheng's central camp that came out of Shanhaiguan. After this battle, Gu Kecheng and Dang Shousu did not come out to challenge him again, but stayed in Guancheng.

In fact, Gu Kecheng and Dang Shousu have considerable strength and nearly 30,000 cavalrymen. Even if they are not able to fight against Han Hai Army, if they are Liu Tichun and Xin Sixiao and the other two of them are in the cooperation of Liu Tichun and Xin Sixiao, they can still give Zhu Ketu a pot.

But Li Zicheng sent an order.

"Waiting for the outcome of the war in Kansai, the Battle of Kanto will be postponed slightly."

So, under the cover of Yang Tingdong's army, the First Legion of Zhuketu's army, leisurely set up a camp between Weiyuan City and Weihai City in Kanto. The Second Legion, the Legion led by Chuckdan, did not set up a camp near Zhuketu. After crossing the Jiujiang River, they went upstream along the river bank. After defeating the attack of Liu Tichun's army, the former Xin Sizhong Right Camp guarding a stone pass, set up a camp at a place only one mile away from the pass.

As mentioned earlier, there are nine city gates closed on a piece of stone, including three closed doors and six water gates. Two closed doors were blown up. At present, just piled up bricks, stones, rubbles and grass together. In fact, the only one that can accommodate a large number of cavalry in and out is the only one that closed the door.

After Chuckdan's infantry Leng Yun Brigade set up the camp, he began to debug the Nibchu bronze cannon. One infantry army had thirty twelve kilogram bronze cannons.

The Jiujiang River here is narrow on both sides. Leng Yun divided the team into two and set up two camps on both sides of the Jiujiang River. All the bronze cannons face Guancheng.

Behind the two infantry camps, there are two cavalry brigades. Once the Dashun Army cavalry comes out to attack the infantry camp, the cavalry brigade can also enter the infantry camp to assist in resistance. In fact, with the strength and density of the Hanhai Army's firepower, the cavalry brigade has no place to use its power at this time.

"boom!!!"

About half an hour later, a bronze cannon on the south bank of Jiujiang River began to test the fire. The sound of a cannon with very low ballistics like this was not heard before in the camp. When the sound rang out, it could be heard dozens of miles away. Xin Sixiao, the general guarding the city, was shocked when he heard it.

Speaking of Liu Tichun, Xin Sixiao and the other two originally belonged to Xin Sizhong's right camp. Since leaving Xi'an, they have not had the right to make great contributions along the way. They were all Yang Tingyu and Yue Zhenbang did it, and in the end they didn't even get a small contribution. The front camp led by Liu Zongmin also needs meritorious.

Fortunately, he gained some merits in the Battle of Shanhaiguan and obtained the "heavy task" of guarding Yibishiguan alone. Of course, when he set out from Beijing, Liu Tichun had 4,000 cavalry under his command, Xin Sixiao had 3,000 cavalry and 7,000 cavalry under his command, and he still had considerable strength. Moreover, there were 4,000 infantry troops led by the Shaanxi general Wang Genzi, and more than 10,000 cavalry, guarding a small stone gate. In Xin Sixiao's view, it was completely a killing chicken with a ox knife.

What we need to explain here is that in order to stabilize the morale of the army, except for a few generals, Liu Zongmin is now defeated and the fall of Beijing has not been conveyed to the level of Xin Sixiao. Therefore, they are still waiting to make contributions.

However, Liu Tichun was still scared.

Just now, when he led the cavalry to attack, he encountered the strange unit for the first time. With one encounter, under the repeated attacks of muskets, tiger spears and double swords, Liu Tichun, who was known as the flying tiger, was taken back to Guancheng by the dispersed cavalry in front of him before he could heat up the big knife in his hand.

Although Liu Tichun's current status is not as dazzling as Yuan Zongdi and others, he is also a general Guoyi, and his three walls are skillful in his hands. He did not expect to encounter such a defeat.

What made him even more ashamed was that the enemy did not seem to want to get involved with him outside the pass, but to set up a large camp. Otherwise, if there was one more camp like the enemy, most of his three thousand cavalry would have been there!

"Boom..."

The calibration of artillery outside the pass has begun in full swing. With the effective range of the bronze cannon, it is easy to capture just one mile (the effective range is four miles, and five hundred meters is not too accurate for cannons with low ballistic flats).

"Flying Tiger, let me attack"

Xin Sixiao, who buried his head behind the city wall, couldn't help it anymore. There was a big gap in the city wall. Although many infantry troops were arranged to guard it, if the enemy attacked desperately, I don't know how long the gap could last.

"No"

This time, Liu Tichun refused decisively. He knew that Xin Sixiao's combat power was not as good as himself under normal circumstances, and attacking was just humiliated. Instead, relying on the city wall to consume the enemy. When the enemy is exhausted or restless, he will take the opportunity to attack.

Xin Sixiao was helpless. Liu Tichun was also one of the eighteen cavalrymen, and his weight in the Dashun Army was not something he could compete with.

What surprised Liu Tichun and Xin Sixiao was that the infantry on the opposite side stopped after bombing a few shots.

Passing the city.

This time when Li Zicheng came to Shanhaiguan, he brought all the powerful generals from the surrendered generals, including Zuo Guangxian, Niu Chenghu, Bai Guangen and Wang Genzi. Now Bai Guangen is following Li Zicheng to guard the Shimen Village. Wang Genzi assists Liu Tichun in guarding Yibi Shiguan. However, the Shanhaiguan pass is controlled by the famous Qin army general Zuo Guangxian and Niu Chenghu and the two assisted the Central Camp general Gu Kecheng to guard.

As mentioned earlier, Shanhaiguan is a complex system of Guancheng. The north side of Weiyuan City, North Wing City, Guancheng, and Dongluo City are actually an independent defense system surrounded by Shihe River. The south side of Nanyi City, Weihai City, and Ninghai City are leaning against Guanhe to the north, and the south side of the sea, and only the east side is an open area. These three city gates are also an independent defense system.

The two defense systems are connected in the middle by the Great Wall.

The three cities to the south are the defense zone of Zuo Guangxian, a famous Qin army general.

Zuo Guang first guarded himself in the older Ninghaicheng. His son was no less brave than himself. Zuo Yi, who was only 23 years old, guarded the northern wing city next to the Great Wall, and another Weihai city to the east of the Great Wall was guarded by Niu Yong, a surrendered general from Taiyuan who was assigned by Li Zicheng.

To the north of Ninghai City is Guanhe, and there are also large areas of trees and fields between Guanhe and the city. In the middle is a high viewing tower, and to the east is the Great Wall (a branch extending southward, the main body is still eastward), and to the south is an endless sea, and the Great Wall is still deep into the sea. If you come from the east, it is completely impossible to touch the Ninghai City from land.

Since taking down the entire Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng's own troops and Wu Sangui's surrendered troops have sufficient troops to defend the city. If Li Zicheng was preparing to fight the Hanhai Army to the death here, he would really have a drink.

But it is obviously unlikely that now, with large armies siege in the city, and the news of Beijing's fall cannot be hidden for a long time.

For Hanhai Army, Beijing's troops were weak. If it were Liu Fangliang nearby, Liu Xiyao would react and fight against the army, it would be enough for them to be busy for a while.

Of course, Nikan, who often teaches his subordinates to use military tactics to deduce such situations, could not have expected it, but from the moment, his backup plan has not yet appeared.

Therefore, for both sides who have heavy troops near Shanhaiguan, this battle will not only be fought, but also ended as soon as possible!

After Chuckdan's infantry blocked a road where a stone pass might have come out of the flank to harass him, he did not intend to take down a stone pass, but instead had other ideas.

The next morning, a morning filled with foggy on the sea surface with a strong smell of early spring, which made people feel lazy.

A small boat emerged from the thick fog.

Soon, a man was taken to Ninghai City, where Zuo Guangxian guarded.

Zuo Guangxian is 45 years old this year. He is also a typical man from northern Shaanxi. He is tall and thin, but his skeleton is thick and he looks quite strong at first glance. The angular horse's face reveals a strong and tough smell.

When Li Zicheng led the army to attack Sichuan, he was defeated and fled when he almost took Chengdu. There were naturally storms along the way, but Zuo Guangxian was the one who threatened him the most. After being defeated by Zuo Guangxian in Hanzhong, it took Li Zicheng a long time to recover.

Afterwards, Zuo Guang was appointed as the general of Ningxia, and the person who came from the sea was also a Ningxia native.

Zhao Liangdong, the leader of the Daxia Kingdom in charge of the Grey Guard in Gansu, has now been transferred to the military system after studying at Jinzhou Military and Political School for half a year, and has also become one of several generals under Zhuketu.

Speaking of which, when Zhao Liangdong learned that Zhu Ketu was going to send him to persuade Zuo Guangxian, he felt a little unhappy.

Yes, he finally broke free from the job of the Gray Guard and finally had the opportunity to lead the army alone like his childhood friend Yang Tingdong. Now he is alone to persuade him to surrender. If things are successful, it will naturally be the icing on the cake. If there is a shortcoming, his bright future will be ruined.

But he wasn't completely helpless.

Liu Zongmin's head.

In fact, Zuo Guangxian had a little knowledge of the war in the east. Liu Zongmin brought more than 5,000 troops to the east, but only He Jinlong came back with a few hundred cavalry. In addition, the army of Dashun Kingdom drove to Guancheng soon. As long as he was not a fool, he would know what was going on after a moment of thinking.

The key is that Liu Zongmin's head shocked him too much.

Among the Qin generals who surrendered to Dashun, Zuo Guangxian was of course the bravest one. However, he admired Liu Zongmin quite a lot. As a general who was proficient in cavalry and shooting and firearms of the Qin army, Zuo Guangxian sneered at the three wall tactics of the Dashun army, but he was still respectful of Liu Zongmin's three walls.

Zuo Guangxian had been fighting with the camp for a long time, and he couldn't fully understand the truth, but he was also very powerful. The one they were responsible for the last blow was Liu Zongmin's troops. He, Niu Chenghu and Bai Guangen, were defeated by this man. Zuo Guangxian was also invincible in the Qin army, but he was still a little worse than Liu Zongmin who was not afraid of death.

But now Liu Zongmin is dead!

It also reminded that the Hanhai Army destroyed the Ming Dynasty in about a month and spent 20 years, spending countless money and food, and almost dragging the Ming Dynasty down, Zuo Guang surrendered first.

But Zuo Guang could not surrender himself first. There were more than 10,000 elite cavalrymen from Dang Shousu, the general of the Dashun Army’s rear camp outside the city.

More than 10,000 elite cavalry, whether it is Nanyi City, Ninghai City, or Weihai City, and it is scattered everywhere and has no effect. However, there is a large area of ​​open space between Nanyi City and Ninghai City. Where the Ming army originally had a military farm, Dang Shousu set up a large camp there, which happened to be between the three cities, which can not only support the center, but also monitor three places.
