Chapter 258

"Woooo..., woooo..., Lord Baylor, my uncle Yang Junmen is wronged." Yang Qi's nephew Yang Mo knelt and crawled in front of Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, crying with snot and tears: "Since Xiong Dachuzui became the Liaodong economic envoy for the third time, he has been thinking about driving my uncle out of Liaodong and replacing him with his confidant Cao Wenzhao as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. My uncle is afraid that he will cause trouble and ruin the court. Big things have always been swallowing one's anger, seeking perfection, and going through fire and water for Xiong Dashouzui. He has never found a fault for him, and there is hard work without credit. But no one thought that Xiong Dashouzui suddenly sent us Yang Junmen today. Tell me to slander our Yang Junmen in public, insisting that my uncle surrendered and betrayed the country, and planned to dedicate Shanhaiguan to the Dajin army. Conscience of heaven and earth, you two Baylor Lords should know best, when did my uncle deal with you and Have you been in touch?"

"Of course." Daishan smiled and asked the interpreter to translate: "We can all testify to this point. Your uncle Yang Junmen absolutely did not collude with us, and what's more, he never had any contact with us."

"Yes, my uncle categorically denies it, and Xiong Dashouzui can't produce any evidence." Yang Qi's nephew Yang Mo continued to cry, "But my uncle never thought that Xiong Dashouzui deliberately wanted to trouble him. On the pretext that one of my uncle's soldiers raped a civilian girl who had withdrawn from western Liaoning to Shanhaiguan, he forced my uncle to be accused of lax governance. My uncle was beaten all over his body with bruises and bruises. He passed out from the pain! My uncle’s position as the commander-in-chief was dismissed in public and replaced by his confidant Cao Wenzhao.

"Then did your uncle Yang Junmen condone his subordinates to rape civilian girls?" Dai Shan asked through an interpreter.Yang Mo's crying stopped abruptly, and it took a long time before he replied with some coyness: "Master Belle, I am not rape, but adultery, and that little girl is willing to be with me." Daishan and Huang Taiji laughed dumbly, and then they knew The instigator turned out to be Yang Qi's own nephew.Yang Mo cried again: "You two Baylor masters, after this incident, my uncle also figured it out. Since Xiong Dashou wants to slander him for collaborating with the enemy, he will simply dedicate Shanhaiguan to you. Lord Belle must agree, my uncle really wants to submit to you Dajin."

Dai Shan didn't answer in a hurry, but just looked at Huang Taiji who was flipping through Yang Qi's confession letter, and waved his hand to make the interpreter stop translating, then asked Huang Taiji in Jiannu language that Yang Mo couldn't understand: "Old Ba How about it? Did Manzi Yang Qi really surrender? This trick is exactly the same as the swindling trick in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", let's not be tricked by him."

"The possibility of false surrender is not impossible, but the possibility of real surrender is even greater." Huang Taiji replied in Jiannu language, "Old barbarian Xiong Tingbi is at odds with barbarian Yang Qi, and has always wanted to replace Yang Qi with Cao Wenzhao. This point has been confirmed, and the possibility of them joining forces to use schemes is very high. Moreover, Yang Qi, a barbarian who is greedy for money and afraid of death, lustful and selfish, was able to become the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, is entirely because the barbarian Gao Di was afraid of being ostracized and dared not Appoint Sun Chengzong's barbarian and Yuan Chonghuan's confidantes, the generals in the dwarf group were selected to push him who is more obedient - such a barbarian, even if the old barbarian Xiong Tingbi is willing to let go of his prejudices and join hands with him to use tricks, Yang Qi, a barbarian, may not I am willing to suffer this, so I think the possibility of false surrender is not very high."

"So, we can trust this barbarian?" Daishan asked.Huang Taiji shook his head slightly, and replied: "Don't panic, let me try again." After finishing speaking, Huang Taiji yelled at Yang Mo directly in Chinese: "Bold and barbarian, you dare to use bitter tricks to feign surrender! Come on, come here!" I pushed this barbarian out and cut it off!"

"You're wronged!" Yang Mo was so frightened that he was so frightened that he kowtowed desperately and cried, "Lord Baylor, you're wronged! We really came to surrender, we didn't pretend to surrender, don't wrong a good person, my uncle is really We were beaten by Xiong Dashou, we are really here to surrender, and we are going to dedicate Shanhaiguan to you!"

"The crying is definitely not fake, and the sweat is coming out, it doesn't seem to be faking." Huang Taiji observed his words, nodded secretly, and waved his hand to stop the Jiannu guards who were rushing towards Yang Mo like wolves like tigers, and asked pretending to be majestic : "Yang Manzi, you said you were wronged, then let me ask you, how cunning is Xiong Tingbi, how can he change his commander at the moment of the war, and replace your uncle with Cao Wenzhao, he will not be afraid Did you really turn your uncle back? How could Old Manzi Xiong, who has been in battle for a long time, make such a serious mistake? It is clear that your uncle and Old Manxiong Xiong Tingbi have colluded with each other, deliberately using bitter tricks to feign surrender, isn’t it? "

"Master Baylor, I am wronged, I am really wronged!" Yang Mo wailed with grievance, and cried, "My uncle said it because there was a rumor in the Shanhaiguan army that my uncle dedicated Shanhaiguan to the Dajin army. Xiong Dashouzui was worried that my uncle would turn against him, so he found an excuse to remove my uncle from the position of chief military officer. Moreover, Xiong Dashouzui also took my uncle's military power under the pretext of allowing my uncle to have time to recuperate. Now my uncle's direct army has been assigned to the direct line of Xiong Dashouzui, who is completely a bare-bones deputy commander. My uncle still suspects that Xiong Dashouzui deliberately wounded my uncle so that my uncle There is no way to control the army at this critical moment."

"The bare-handed deputy commander?" Huang Taiji was taken aback, thinking that this was the right thing to do. I asked people to spread rumors to drive a wedge between Xiong Laomanzi and Yang Manzi, so that Xiong Laomanzi became suspicious of Yang Manzi. To be on the safe side, Xiong Laomanzi, Temporarily depriving Yang Manzi of his military power is indeed a clever move.Thinking of this, Huang Taiji snorted coldly on purpose: "Hmph, since your uncle is already a bare-bones deputy commander, what qualifications does he have to surrender to our Daikin, and what use can he have to our Daikin?"

"My uncle still has two hundred soldiers in his hands. They are all veterans brought by my uncle from Gansu. They are only under the command of my uncle." Yang Mo hurriedly declared: "And I, I am the city of the west gate of Shanhaiguan. The door officer also has hundreds of reliable brothers in hand, as long as you, Lord Baylor, give an order, we can open and close the door at a critical moment to welcome your Dajin's army to enter the customs."

"Oh, so your uncle and nephew may be really useful to our Dajin." Huang Taiji's tone slowed down, and he was secretly happy in his heart.In order to show his merits, Yang Mo rushed to say: "Master Baylor, we are useful to you, absolutely useful. My uncle said that after he opened the door to welcome you into the customs, I just ask you to let him personally treat Xiong Dastinky." Ling Chi was executed to vent the hatred in his heart. As for the rewards and official positions, you can just give them as you see, Lord Baylor. My uncle has heard that all the Han generals who surrendered to your Daikin are basically doing well. "

"Of course, as long as you surrender our big gold, gold, silver, and beautiful women, you can get whatever you want." Huang Taiji smiled and nodded as encouragement.Seeing Huang Taiji's smile, Yang Mo gained some courage, and hurriedly added: "By the way, Lord Belle, my uncle said that if you want to do something, you must do it tonight. It will start tomorrow, Xiong Dashou The mouth is about to block the east gate of Shanhaiguan with bricks and stones, and with the strength of our troops, once it is blocked, there is no way to open the east gate, only the west gate."

"Are you going to do it tonight?" Huang Taiji was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "What time is it now?"

"Back to Lord Baylor, I just rang the clapper for the third watch." The guard in the tent replied respectfully.Before the words finished, Yang Mo screamed, "What? It's already three o'clock? Is it still too late? Oh no, I was delayed on the road for too long to hide from Xiong Dashou's scouts and patrols!"

"It's too late, but don't worry." Huang Taiji shook his head, then turned to Daishan who was listening, and said in Jiannu language: "Second brother, I have an idea to use Ningyuan's ship to carry one of our troops. , bypass Shanhaiguan by sea, land behind Shanhaiguan, and then ask Yang Qimanzi to open the west gate of Shanhaiguan, enter through the west gate, attack from inside and outside, and take Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop!"

"It's a good idea." Daishan nodded, and then pondered: "But it's too risky. Once something unexpected happens, this army will have no chance to escape. Let's set up the Hongyi cannon to Taipingding now. Come on, there is no need to take such a big risk with an elite, right?"

"It's a little risky to take a risk, but it's more certain." Huang Taiji analyzed: "We only have ten red barbarian cannons that can enter Shanhaiguan, and it is impossible to blast all the barbarians to death in Shanhaiguan. The army creates chaos, and creates psychological deterrence to shake their morale. In the end, it is only by soldiers attacking the city that it is possible to win the most powerful pass in the world. In this way, if an army launches a surprise attack from behind, it will never If Ximen enters the Shanhaiguan Pass, the effect will be much better, not only can the Shanhaiguan pass be captured quickly, but also the loss of our army can be minimized."

"That makes sense." Dai Shan nodded slowly, and after thinking for a long time, Dai Shan slapped the table and shouted: "War is inherently risky, and this risk is worth taking, so it's settled! and deterrence; the main force attacks from the front to contain the barbarian's main force; the partial division surprises the barbarian's back, attacking from three sides, we will definitely win this world's number one pass!"

........................

Deliberated, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji immediately adjusted the battle time, and changed the total attack time originally scheduled for October 26 to 28—at least why the battle time was adjusted, everyone can guess for themselves.After five days of intensive preparations, in the early morning of October 28th, the sky was gloomy and everything was ready. In order to prove that he was better than the eighth brother, Tang Gu, the owner of Zhengbai Banner, volunteered to lead three thousand Zhengbai Banners. Riding a boat, boarded a sea boat borrowed by Huang Taiji, set sail and sailed round and round to the rear of Shanhaiguan.Dai Shan and Huang Taiji personally led the main force to set off from Balipu to the east main gate of Shanhaiguan.Cao Zhenyan, captain of the Jiannu Artillery Corps, had already led the traitor artillery team to wait for orders on the Taipingding Peak. The ten Hongyi cannons had sufficient ammunition and were ready to bombard the city of Shanhaiguan as soon as Daishan gave an order!
At about midnight, the army of slaves arrived at Shanhaiguan five miles outside the city, and established their positions. According to the prior consultation, Huang Taiji led a small number of cavalry with white flags out of the battle, and ran to Shanhaiguan on horseback. , and shouted in Chinese: "Great Jin Baylor Huang Taiji, please come out and answer Xiong Tingbi, the envoy of the Liaodong Economic Strategy of the Ming Dynasty."

"Jiannu little bastard, I've been here for a long time!" A bear-like roar came from the wall, and Xiong Tingbi, who was as strong as a bear, stood up from the top of the wall and shouted at Huang Taiji bear: "My old friend is good, Nuer!" Where is old Jianu Ha Chi? Did you get mad at my unfilial son-in-law? If he is not dead, tell him to get out and answer the question, how far will you, you young Jian slave, get away from me!"

"Master Xiong, I'm really sorry. My father Khan is still alive, but his body is not healthy. This time he couldn't come to Shanhaiguan to reconnect with the supervisor." Huang Taiji was not angry, and shouted with a smile on his face. Said: "Master Xiong, you are an old friend of our Dajin army, and you should also know that our Dajin army will either not move, or it will shake like thunder, and the world will change color. This time our Dajin army is approaching Shanhaiguan. I mean, Jin Youqian is a fan! Master Xiong, you are a smart man, why don’t you switch and surrender early, join our Dajin army, create an inexhaustible foundation, and share the glory and wealth? Why bother to struggle to the death, use the mantis as a chariot, and seek death? "

"Hahahahahaha, Jiannu bastard, you have such a big tone!" Xiong Tingbi laughed, and contemptuously hooked Huang Taiji with his finger, and laughed: "If you have the ability, just come and beat me up." Give it a try in Shanhaiguan, why waste that little saliva? Just because you want to persuade me to surrender, reincarnate and dream in the next life!"

"Master Xiong Du, I know that relying on the high walls of the Shanhai Pass and the deep trenches, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, so we don't have to be afraid of our Dajin's army attacking." Huang Taiji laughed and said, "But you, Xiong Dushi, did you know that our Dajin army has already killed you?" If you have seized the vital point of Shanhaiguan, as long as I give an order, all the thousands of troops in Shanhaiguan will be shot down and die miserably?"

"Really?" Xiong Tingbi laughed and said, "That's good, I want to see what tricks you can do?"

"Then Xiong Dushi, you have taken a good look at it." Huang Taiji yelled deliberately, shaking the morale of the Ming army, "And the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Shanhaiguan, you also take a look at it. If you resist to the end, what will be the end?" Huang Taiji said. Pulled out a small flag from his sleeve, waved it backwards, and the Jiannu messengers behind him waved the flags one by one. A moment later, there was a burst of cannonballs on the top of Jiaoshan Taiping in the north of Shanhaiguan Pass, and ten shells roared towards Shanhaiguan Pass. Then, three of them hit the city wall, and the remaining seven all hit the houses in the city, smashing the houses to pieces, and the stone fragments of the city wall flying across the city, causing exclamations and shouts in the city.Xiong Tingbi remained calm, but he was secretly happy——Jiannu really moved all the Hongyi cannons to Taipingding.

"Master Xiong, soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, do you see that?" Huang Taiji exclaimed triumphantly, "This is just a warning. If you don't switch to surrender, as long as I wave the command flag again, our red flag will be destroyed." The barbarian cannons will bombard Shanhaiguan all the time until it is smashed to pieces!"

"Little bastard Jiannu, it turns out that you are just like that unworthy son-in-law of Lao Tzu. You only know how to play dirty tricks—ten red barbarian cannons, what can you do to me?" Xiong Tingbi laughed wildly, "Okay, Lao Tzu today I'll let you see, is ginger old and spicy? Boys, give me some smoke!"

"Light up the wolf smoke!" In the shout, a thick and black wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky.Seeing the wolf smoke, Huang Taiji's face suddenly changed, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong.Sure enough, on the top of Jiaoshan Taiping six miles away, there was a sudden explosion on the top plain that could only accommodate hundreds of people. One after another, Jiannu artillerymen were blown up into the air and thrown far into the valley. The gunpowder barrel stored there was also shattered and exploded, and the gunpowder in the barrel burned, immediately engulfing the Taipingding in a sea of ​​flames.Cao Zhenyan, the ancestor of the founder of a certain boring school, was stunned at first, and then screamed loudly, "I was fooled, the barbarian ambushed in the woods at the foot of the mountain and lit a fire, and this place is full of mines! It's full of mines! Move, move the powder kegs away!" "

"Boom!" Before the words fell, another landmine exploded at Cao Zhenyan's feet. Amidst the screams of killing pigs, he once sold the country, nation, and dirty soul for money, and set up a plan to wipe out the Qi's army and white soldiers for Jiannu. He made great contributions, and Cao Zhenyan, a hard-core traitor who once caused the Datong Massacre in history, had his legs smashed, his upper body flew up like a kite with a broken string, and fell far into the valley. It also reverberated in the valley for a long time......

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of explosions continued, and the Jiannu artillerymen also screamed. After one layer of mines was blown up, the second layer of mines was blown up, and the third layer was blown up, thousands of landmines exploded in succession, not to mention the light and small shells and the powder kegs that were originally explosives, even more than 3000 mines exploded. The heavy Hongyi cannon couldn't bear the violent explosion. It was blown by the shock wave and rolled around, most of them rolled down the valley, and the remaining ones rolled down the mountain road, killing and wounding several slave soldiers.Finally, after the explosion ended, there was no grass left on the entire Taipingding, and it was completely shrouded in a sea of ​​smoke and fire, like Shura's purgatory.

"Jiannu bastard, do you know how powerful I am?" Xiong Tingbi laughed triumphantly, "Do you think I really don't know the key weaknesses of Shanhaiguan? When I was playing gunpowder and artillery, you were still wearing crotch pants. I'm so shameless." Son-in-law, he’s still in his mother’s womb! I’m deliberately keeping my face these days, just waiting for you to move all the gunpowder cannons to the top of the mountain, and then slowly clean you up! How about it, now I see you, a little bastard who is a slave. What tricks can you play?"

"I still underestimate this old bear." Huang Taiji's face was gloomy. He never dreamed that Xiong Tingbi would be so vicious. He had already planted landmines on the Taipingding and waited for his artillery team to die!After making some calculations, Huang Taiji turned his head and left, gritting his teeth and ordered: "Send a signal, let Tang Gu's army land, and surprise Shanhaiguan from behind! Our main force, attack from the front, contain the main force of the old bear!"
