These years of being the queen mother!

Well, Zhu Shuxie's protest failed again in the eccentric behavior of Empress Dowager Yang!Time flies by. In the first half of the second year of Taichang, except for the famine that broke out in Yan'an Prefecture in February and a solar eclipse that covered the sky and did not last long in May, in June, Empress Dowager Yang Still had a good time.

But in the second half of the second year of Taichang, life was not so comfortable.On October 27th, Huang Taiji, chieftain of the Houjin Tatars, divided his troops into three groups as in history, attacking Da'an Pass all the way, Longjing Pass all the way, and Hongshan Pass all the way.

The reason why Huang Taiji was able to succeed in history was mainly because the center of gravity of the Liaodong defenders at that time was on the side of the Ningjin defense line. Although the three passes such as Longjing Pass were guarded by guards, their combat effectiveness was much weaker. At least sharp firearms no.

And in this time and space, reminded by Empress Dowager Yang who is familiar with history, the veteran Xiong Tingbi is the main guard of the three passes including Longjing Pass.Among them, not only Comrade Lao Xiong, but also Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui were able to conquer and have rich experience in fighting. Coupled with the sharp Hongyi cannon pressing the formation, it can be said that the three troops of Huang Taiji were suppressed and beaten as soon as they showed up.

At the beginning of the battle, Huang Taiji still had plenty of food and grass, and the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners were brave and good at fighting. As long as he persisted, he would be able to successfully capture the pass, successfully invade Zunhua, and approach the capital.Unexpectedly, compared to their large number of people (known as [-] soldiers and horses), the huge loss of food and grass, and the Liaodong Army guarded by only a few thousand defenders at each pass also stocked a lot of food. The rations Xiong Tingbi hoarded at the three passes including Longjing Pass could support the defenders to keep guarding the pass for half a year.

As for the Tartars, once the grain and grass hoarded before the war are exhausted, if the grain and grass cannot be supplied, there will be no supplies at all. After all, Comrade Xiong is the firm implementer of the strategy of "strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness". The inhabited villages with a radius of hundreds of miles around the three passes were all emptied by Comrade Xiong's troops. Not only were there no people, even food was not left for the Tartars...

And for the era of cold weapons, the advantage of the defending side is huge. Think about the Water Margin, Liangshan heroes are actively attacking Fang La, who has a high wall and a thick village, and Fang Laba King killed two-thirds of the heroes. , you know how passive the siege side is, and our Liaodong defenders in the Ming Dynasty still have big killers like artillery in their hands. A large number of soldiers of the Eight Banners attacking with the horns and ladders were killed. With such terrifying power, no matter how brave the Eight Banners soldiers are, no matter how brave and fearless they are, there is no chance of killing them. Traditional city defense preparations, rolling logs, boulders, boiling oil, boiling water, and Liaodong defenders are also prepared, just waiting for the shells to be fired, so that the Eight Banners soldiers can change their death methods!

Under the heavy protection of his personal guards, Xiong Tingbi stood on the top of the high wall of the Great Wall. After finding time to kill a Eight Banners soldier who was close to the wall with the kidnapper gun, Comrade Xiong turned his head and asked the guards:

"I don't know what's going on with Elements (Yuan Chonghuan's character) and Mangui. I'm lucky. I met the thieves personally commanded by the Tatar Chief."

The guard on the side replied with a smile: "After all, the situation will not be worse than the situation here."

The Tazi troops were divided into three groups. One was led by Huang Taiji to attack Longjing Pass, the pass of the Great Wall. The other was led by Dorgon and Hauge to attack Da'an Pass. One day, Amin led the Mongolian and Manchu coalition forces to attack Hongshan Pass...

It is difficult to say who is strong and who is weak among these three routes, but in general, as the Zhengbai Banner, which protects the safety of the Tatar Chieftain and is directly under the jurisdiction of Huang Taiji, its combat effectiveness and equipment are a little bit stronger, so the Longjing Pass guarded by Xiong Tingbi is relatively Have a little pressure!

"The Tazi soldiers are attacking desperately regardless of the cost of casualties. Although our army has the advantage of defending the city and the advantage of firearms, it can only kill two and lose one. According to the spies, Taiji, the chieftain of the Tartars, has reached an agreement with the Mongolian ministries. Opinion, after successfully conquering the pass, Xu Yiyi robs the property and the Mongolian ministries can be divided into half, his mother, this dare to treat us Daming people as his domestic animals."

What Xiong Tingbi said was gritted his teeth. He hated the Tartars and worried about defending the city. After all, they only had [-] defenders. It would be unrealistic to go out and fight with the Tartars.Now the only way to occupy the advantage of the defenders is to kill the Tartars.

Because the number of defenders was not equal to the number of attackers, the battle became stalemate for a while.It is impossible for Huang Taiji not to be angry about the behavior of the defenders of Liaodong, relying on the advantages of defending the city and the power of firearms, to guard the pass and not come out.

In fact, when the battle started, the Eight Banners soldiers were bombarded by Hongyi cannons. Huang Taiji knew keenly that his plan had been exposed, and he had lost the opportunity to take advantage of his unpreparedness, take down the pass, invade Zunhua, and directly The possibility of forcing the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji hated him so much, he couldn't help but wonder why the defenders of Liaodong guessed his plan so accurately, to the point where he would enter through several passes.Huang Taiji believed that in the army divided into three groups, not only the Eight Banners elite soldier led by him encountered tenacious resistance, but also the other two.

The defenders of Liaodong rely on the power of artillery, and when the artillery shells are not exhausted, the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners must not be able to move an inch.And after the shells are finished, how can we know whether the Liaodong garrison has huge stones and rolling logs.The only solution now is...

Huang Taiji's eyes closed and opened, and there was a cold murderous intent in those squinted eyes unique to the grassland man: "Propagate my will, and threaten to attack the city with the nearby people..."

It is just a nice word to say that they are attacking the city together.As long as people are not stupid, they will understand the true meaning of Huang Taiji. This is to coerce the people into the battlefield and use them as cannon fodder to consume cannonballs. Look, otherwise how did Yangzhou Ten Days and Jiading Three Massacres come about in history...

The Jiannu Tartars who successfully entered the customs thought that there were too many Han people, which was not conducive to their rule, so they killed them vigorously until they thought it was enough. The Han people felt timid and would accept their fate as slaves. Put down the butcher knife, put on a hypocritical face, what are you saying about the Manchu family, the real Manchu family has the ability to make you a queen who is born as a Han daughter!

After Huang Taiji's order was issued, Fan Wenchen, the number one traitor, hurriedly arranged for the Eight Banners soldiers to ride fast horses to nearby villages to find people, but it was a pity that Comrade Xiong's strategy of "strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness" was too thorough. I saw a few skinny wild dogs, they were ghosts, and I didn't meet a single one. The poor Eight Banners soldiers who were tired and hungry after running around for a day not only didn't get caught, they even ate... Desperately, he rode back to the camp to report the unfortunate news to Huang Taiji.

"Damn Xiong Manzi, you are so ruthless!"

Huang Taiji was so angry that he vomited blood, and ordered again: "Tomorrow, I will take a longer route to search, and I don't believe that Xiong Manzi can clear up people in a radius of hundreds of miles, and people thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away! Pass down the order, as long as they are not Manchus or Mongols, I will arrest them regardless of ethnicity!" Didn't Daming claim to be the first country and treat people of all ethnic groups equally?Well, he wants to see if this bear barbarian can do it!

Of course Xiong Tingbi could do that.

When the Eight Banners soldiers who went around to arrest people as cannon fodder detoured around the same route and finally caught a large number of people with mottled clothes who obviously belonged to different ethnic groups, and forced them to approach the city wall with knives, Xiong Tingbi was only silent for a while, and then gave a decisive order The gunner in charge of 'hitting~cannon' adjusts the distance, tries to ignore the human wall in front, and shoots backward...

Although this method inevitably led to casualties among the people who were coerced into the battlefield and used as cannon fodder, it was much better than the concentrated artillery fire. Many people who survived a wave of attacks instinctively Response began to prostrate on the ground, covering his head with his hands and covering his ears, despite the screams of the Eight Banners soldiers...

The Eight Banners soldiers who are now being chased by cannons have no time to care about these guys who were originally used as cannon fodder and shields. So Huang Taiji, who was riding a tall horse and observing the overall situation from the position of the central army, found sadly that the previous method of using ordinary people as a wall to block knives was useless at all.

After watching the battle for a while, Huang Taiji felt that nothing could be done, so he had to beat the drum and order the troops to withdraw.

The offensive and defensive battle at the Great Wall pass lasted for a full month, and the Tartar Three Route Army fought to the death of a third of the soldiers, but they could only smash their halberds into the sand and return without success. They rolled back where they came from in despair .

When the news of the great victory at the Great Wall pass reached the capital, Empress Dowager Yang, who was teaching the little emperor Zhu Cilin to review the memorials, laughed happily on the spot.

"Why didn't they all stay alive!" Especially the grandson of Huang Taiji, he should have died a long time ago.Empress Dowager Yang sighed, but she laughed at herself: "That's right, I'm greedy, and if I can keep one-third of the [-] army, it is estimated that the Tartars and the Mongolian tribes who have nothing to catch will be seriously injured. In a short time, I don’t dare to stare at my Daming border again!”
