Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 707 The Great Victory Pass

Dashengguan is located in the west of Nanjing. In the Northern Song Dynasty, a patrol fortress was set up here, and a beacon tower was placed behind it.In the Yuan Dynasty, a water post was set up, named Dacheng Port.

In 1960, Zhu Yuanzhang set up an ambush here and defeated Chen Youliang's attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, so he changed its name to Dasheng Port and set up a pass here, that is, Dasheng Pass.

The terrain of Dashengguan is very dangerous. Since ancient times, it has been the Jiangfang fortress of Nanjing. The Ming army defeated Dashengguan and opened the road to Nanjing.

Boluo considered setting up the battlefield here, firstly because it was a must for the Ming army, and secondly for auspiciousness, hoping to defeat the Ming army going east just like Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang here.

But I don't know why he would think so, Ming Taizu couldn't bless him even if he wanted to bless him.

On July [-]th in the fourth year of Longwu in the Ming Dynasty, and in the fifth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Jin Li, a general of the Qing Dynasty who retreated from Guichi to Wuhu, retreated to Dashengguan after supporting for more than half a month.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou took the risk of dispatching 5000 people, and Western aid entered the pass to assist Jinli in defense.

On the other side of the Ming army, after the Chinese army stationed in Wuhu, Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and other ministries have entered a state of frenzy.

Nanjing is already the only goal in their eyes, and no one can stop it. The Central Route Army entered Nanjing.

After Jin Li retreated to Dasheng Pass, the Emperor's Dazhu Banner also came to pass.

The weather was cool and windy on this day, which was a good time to attack.

The defenders at Dasheng Pass are waiting in formation. On the plain in front of the pass, there are more than a dozen square formations. Nearly a hundred artillery pieces of various types are placed in the front. After that, there is a large group of archers and gunners who are responsible for suppressing the firepower of the pass.

After the regular Ming army, there were tens of thousands of Jiangnan gentry and common people who, encouraged by the emperor, came to help the war spontaneously.

At this time, the strong wind gradually picked up, blowing the flags of the two armies and dancing with the wind. The soldiers above and below the city looked at each other, and the murderous aura spread, and there was a chill.

In front of the Ming army formation, the emperor was on a tall watchtower car, and the generals at all levels straddled their horses and galloped back and forth, reporting the readiness of each department.

The emperor glanced at Jin Shenghuan and said, "Aiqing, I'll leave it to you. I won't interfere. I'll just stand here and cheer up the soldiers."

Jin Shenghuan bowed to the emperor when he heard the order. He knew that this was the most glorious moment in his life, and he knew that this battle was related to his road to becoming king and the pinnacle of his life.

Jin Shenghuan desperately inhaled a few breaths, and then exhaled heavily. The general needed to calm down. He forced himself to suppress the waves in his heart, and finally drew out his saber with a "choke", and pointed at Dashengguan in a rage, "Attack!"

The sound of rumbling war drums resounded across the earth, and the sound of horns soared into the sky. Along with the dancing of flags, the remaining [-] troops under the city shouted together, and tens of thousands of people also shouted together, and the sound waves hit the shore like waves. .

The artillery placed at the front began to roar, and the gun body retreated sharply, smoke rose, and iron bullets sprayed out, smashing towards the top of the city.

The advancing soldiers began to push the ladders, Lu Gongche and other giants moved forward slowly, and the soldiers kept shouting in order.

These voices, the shouts of the soldiers, and the roar of the artillery provided grand sound effects for the entire grand battlefield.

Jin Li stood behind a wall, nervously watching the Ming army coming in like a tide.

His 3 people fought with the Ming army in the middle for more than three months. After several losses, there were only 1 left. Fortunately, Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth and gave him [-], so he had some confidence.

He and the Ming army in the middle road are both tired troops, but strictly speaking, he is even more tired, because he has been retreating all the time, while the Ming army in the middle road is tired after a long battle, but they keep winning battles and their morale is strong, so Jin Li has a great advantage. pressure.

He is the most important part of Boluo's plan. If he lives at the top and lets the Ming army rush to the city of Jiangning, not only will Boluo's plan come to an end, Jiangning may also be captured by the Ming army because of the lack of troops.

At this time, under the wall, the sound of killing was getting closer, and it exploded in the ears of every guard soldier like thunder, and the towering Lu Gongcar approached Dashengguan like monsters.

Once this kind of siege weapon is put on the wall, the threat to the city wall will be fatal.

At this time, seeing the large equipment such as LV bus and ladder being transported to the gate, the veterans in the gate couldn't help but tremble with fear.

The original preset battlefield of the Qing army was in Wuhu, but in order to increase the distance between the Ming army in the middle, the left and right wings, and Wang Yan, Boluo temporarily changed the preset battlefield to Dasheng Pass.

Although this made the Ming army in the middle route go eastward, but also because of a hasty change of plan, the defensive fortifications of Dasheng Pass were not fully prepared.

The trenches and sheep and horse walls were not prepared. After the obstacles such as antlers and horses under the city were cleared by the Ming army, the defenders on the city could only rely on the wall.

The Qing soldiers who closed the door avoided the artillery fire. They took advantage of the gap to look under the door, and saw a mysterious crowd coming, like a river tide.

At this moment, the rhythm of the Ming army's war drums changed, and the drums started to beat rapidly. This was because the army had already entered the range of the small Frang machine in the city. If they didn't run quickly, they would have to eat another round of cannons.

"Flangji, fire." Jin Li ordered loudly at the moment when the drums of the Ming army changed.

There is a cannon every 20 or more walls on the wall, and the Qing soldiers on each position are ready at this time, the gunpowder is filled, and the shells are pushed into the barrel by wooden poles, waiting for the roar of death .

At this time, the gunner heard the order, and immediately adjusted the angle through the ear of the gun, aiming at Lu Gong's chariot and the ladder that threatened the city wall the most.

The torch leaned on the fuse, and the fuse flickered with white light, rushing into the medicine room, the gun body retreated immediately, thick smoke rose from the muzzle, and an iron bullet shot out from it, rushing towards the gate.

A group of sword and shield fighters in the city suddenly scattered in all directions, and an iron bullet tore the phalanx apart like plowing the ground.

Seeing the iron egg plowing a deep line on the ground, the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Don't be chaotic, keep the formation, and continue to attack!" Qianhu of the Ming army shouted anxiously.

Hearing the words, the soldiers of the Ming army shouted violently, gathered together again, raised their shields together, and ran wildly.

In Chizhou Prefecture, the news of Wu Jinxi came again. The emperor did not listen to his persuasion, but chose to go straight to Dashengguan.

When Wang Yan heard the news, he immediately fell into a dilemma. He was worried that the Central Route Army would be ambushed by the Qing army, but he didn't dare to go in rashly, because Hefei was still in the hands of the Qing army.

If you don't control this place, if Duoduo defeats Dai Zhifan, you can make a big detour, and even Wang Yan's retreat will be copied, and the entire Jiangnan campaign will completely collapse.

Forced to do so, Wang Yan chose a compromise plan, ordering Li Guo to send [-] troops to help Dai Zhifan take Hefei, while he led [-] troops to chase Longwu's army along the river.
