The next day.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the Jiannu camp outside the east gate of Datong suddenly began to stir up. Jiannu kept coming out of the tent and pointing at the Datong city wall in the distance. They all looked furious. This commotion quickly alarmed all the Jiannu nobles, including Dorgon and Yue Tuo.

As soon as Dorgon walked out of the tent, he saw Yuetuo coming quickly surrounded by the nobles of the Eight Banners such as Sahalian, Shuotuo, Tang Gudi, Abatai, Fei Yangwu, Lashita. Seeing that Yuetuo and others were all angry, Dorgon was secretly frightened and thought that speaking for Shi Tingzhu and Li Yongfang yesterday caused public anger.

"Old Fourteen, it's too much." Before Yue Tuo could speak, Abatai was already screaming impatiently. "Those damn Nanming barbarians are too much too much!"

Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhaci, with outstanding military achievements but a irritable personality.

When he heard that it was not the incident last night, Dorgon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "What's wrong with the Nanming barbarian?"

"You can see it yourself." Yue Tuo reached out and pointed to Datong City in the distance and shouted sternly, "These hateful Nanming barbarians are hanging the bodies of the warriors who died on the city wall to humiliate them wantonly. I have sent someone to see it just now. The whipping of the corpse is pretty good, and I have skinned, cramps, boiled oil and lighted the lamp!"

"Yes, these Nanming barbarians are so hateful."

"Prince. Be sure to give these bastards some great taste."

"The two regents, slaves are willing to lead the headquarters Jiala into the city, kill all the damn Nanming barbarians, and avenge the Eight Banners warriors who died in battle."

As Yue Tuo finished speaking, the other Jiannu nobles were already shouting.

Dorgon was shocked and looked back quickly and saw that the city was very lively on Datong. Because the distance was too far, it was undoubtedly true that something was hanging from the city. Obviously, Abatai and Yuetuo said it was true, and the defenders of Datong were really humiliating the bodies of the Eight Banners soldiers who died in battle.

But Dorgon was Dorgon after all. He had to think, why did the Datong defenders do this?

At this moment, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, I rushed to Dorgon. Ning Wan, I said breathlessly: "Master, you can't send troops. This is Wang Pu's trick. He did this to anger us!"

"Shut up!" Yue Tuo shouted sternly, "It is not you Han people who are humiliated now, but our noble Eight Banners Warriors. Of course you won't feel uncomfortable!"

Ning Wan, I said miserably: "Prince, I am also thinking about the Qing Dynasty."

"Enough." Yue Tuo shouted sternly, "I don't want to listen to your sweet words."

After saying that, Yue Tuo said to Dorgon again: "Fourth Uncle, we are not here to seek your consent. According to the regulations set by our ancestors, major affairs can be carried out as long as the majority of the banner owners agree. If you do not agree, the two white flags may not participate in today's attack, but we have two red flags and two yellow flags, and the Zhenglan flag will never let the Nanming barbarians in the city."

"What are you talking about?" Dorgon said in a sarcasm, "Since I am the regent, how can I not know the system established by the late emperor? Don't say anything. The banner masters Beile immediately returned to their respective camps, and the eight banners of the Han army and the eight Mongolian banners immediately gathered outside the gap and launched an attack in half an hour!"

Dorgon is not a fool. Since a large-scale attack is already the general trend, if he raises objections at this time, it will only encourage Yue Tuo's prestige among the nobles of the Eight Banners, and can only weaken his prestige in turn. Of course, Dorgon would not do such a thing that harms oneself and others.

"twitter!"

Except for the regent Di Yuetuo, the other Eight Banners nobles responded to the promise and took the order and left.

After Yue Tuo and others walked away, Ning Wan said with concern: "Master, can't you send troops?"

"It's too late to say this now." Dorgon sighed, "As Mr. Wencheng said, our Qing Dynasty's military system should be changed..."

Fan Wencheng, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Master. In fact, a large-scale attack is also a good way to quickly fight and decide."

"Huh?" Ning Wan said anxiously, "Xian Dou you..."

Fan Wencheng raised his hand to stop Ning Wan and said, "Please listen to me and finish my words."

Dorgon said anxiously: "Mr. Wencheng, tell me quickly."

Fan Wencheng said: "Master, a large-scale attack may cause considerable casualties, but if we want to break through Datong in a short period of time, this is the only way! Master, Gongfu. Don't forget that we are alone and cannot stay in the border of the Ming Dynasty for too long. Our goal is not only Datong, but also Beijing!"

"That's right." Ning Wan nodded, "We shouldn't stay in Datong for too long."

"Okay." Dorgon said fiercely, "I'm trying to lose tens of thousands of people, and I also vow to break through Datong!"

Dorgon had already thought about it. When he launched a large-scale attack, he would let the Han army's Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners take the lead. The Jiannu Eight Banners stayed in the final stance. Even if there were a lot of losses, the casualties were all Han and Mongols, but the Jurchens' strength was not weakened at all.

The east gate of Datong, the arrow tower.

Zhen Youcai said to Wang Pu excitedly: "Look at General. Jiannu is gathering!"

"Um."

Wang Pu nodded, and he had seen it without Zhen Youcai reminding him.

In the thin morning light, teams of neatly-clad Jiannu were opening up a camp and gathering in the open space outside the gap in the city wall. According to the different colors of the armor, it was divided into four major formations: yellow, red, blue and white. Each formation had the eight banners of Jiannu, the eight banners of Mongolia and the eight banners of Han army, which was easy to distinguish.

Although the banner costumes of the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army were the same color, the armor texture on them was far different. Jiannu was all of the same colored mail. The Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army were wearing leather armor, and only the Eight Banners of the Han Army were the worst equipment. The clothes were covered with cloth armor that could be pierced by bamboo swords and swords.

"General." Zhen Youcai asked with concern, "Jiannu is going to fight to the death. Can the monk and the others defend it?"

"Don't worry." Wang Pu said calmly, "Even Jiannu is a heavenly soldier and general, he will die as much as he comes!"

Although Wang Pu was saying this, he was actually unsure. Although the firepower of the Musketeers was enough to block the gap less than ten feet wide, there were always many unexpected changes on the battlefield. Sometimes a little negligence was enough to cause irreparable consequences.

The only thing Wang Pu can do now is to try to improve the preparations before the war and then show enough confidence in front of his hands. If even Wang Pu himself lacks confidence, then his army will not have any confidence. Once the army guarding Datong loses confidence, it will be not far from the loss of the city.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Before Jiannu began to formally attack, Tong Yangxing's artillery battalion fired first.

Five flowering bullets hit the gap with a shrill roar, and then exploded with a bang, instantly blew up the broken walls in the gap and splashed in the sky. The rolling smoke and dust rose into the air again. Although these five flowering bullets were horrifying, their killings were almost zero. In fact, Dorgon asked Tong Yangxing to shoot artillery not to kill the defenders, but to enhance morale to the Jiannu army where the attack was about to begin!

Dorgon's approach was quite a bit like covering it with artillery fire first and then charging for infantry. Unfortunately, he only had five red cannons, and they were the most primitive front-loading cannons. It took a long time to reload ammunition after one shot, and lacked the continuity of firepower.

However, Dorgon's goal was achieved.

As soon as the cannon stopped, the Jiannu army began to attack the gap. Shi Tingzhu rushed to the front with two thousand Han army Eight Banners, followed by three thousand Khalkha Mongol cavalry, then three thousand Korchin Mongol cavalry, and finally two thousand Jiannu Eight Banners.

This ten thousand troops are just the first echelon.
