Most of the people who were killed by the Ming army were from the Datong area. The reason why they were called to Baoyi was because they had not yet gone to Liaodong to become the real Baoyi. At present, they were just the people of the Ming Dynasty who were plundered.

But Li Guodong knew that if he had not been to him, most of the people who had been captured had gone to Liaodong, and most of them died outside the pass. A few survivors later followed the Qing army into the pass and returned to the pass. However, those Baoyi who returned to the pass were no longer Han people, and they had become a group of slaves who were accomplices of tigers.

To achieve great achievements, you cannot have the kindness of a woman.

What's more, after the Later Jin army approached the trench, the Ming army's artillery could also bombard the rear formation of the Later Jin army, sending the shield chariots and the Mongols and Jurchens behind them to the West.

The cannons shooting from a high place spit out flames, and the shells passed over the shield cart and landed in the dense Mongolian formation, killing the Mongolians with flesh and blood. The scene of the bodies shattering and turning into blood and frothing scared the Mongolians. Many Mongolians turned their heads and ran away in fear. The Jurchens behind them were merciless and chopped off their heads in batches.

"Send the order and press it up! Those who escaped at the battle, whether Han, Mongol or Jurchen, will be killed! The first person to attack the Ming Goucheng Village, Han people carry the flag, Mongolians reward hundreds of slaves, hundreds of taels of silver, and Jurchens reward half of their future!" Dorgon shouted.

I don’t know how much it cost. There were corpses in front of the first trench. In the end, the Later Jin army finally filled the first trench with corpses and mud-filled maws. However, behind the first trench was blocked by a sheep and horse wall, and the shield chariot of the Later Jin army could not push over. Dorgon could only send orders to let Zhuang Baoyi hide under the sheep and horse wall, and use iron shovels and iron knives to dig the sheep and horse wall, trying to dig the sheep and horse wall.

As a result, Zhuangyun hid under the sheep and horse wall, which was a dead corner of the Ming army's artillery fire on the top of the city. The Mongols and Jurchens behind were in trouble. The shells fell into their formation from time to time, killing the Mongols and Jurchens corpses all over the field and blood flowed into rivers.

Dorgon did not dare to let the Mongols and Jurchens retreat. He was worried that once the Mongols and Jurchens retreated, the young and strong Han people who were captured who worked under whips and knives would probably take the opportunity to escape.

After finally digging the wall of sheep and horses, Jun Baoyi continued to push the shield cart forward under the force of the swords of the Mongolians and Jurchens. He pushed about thirty steps. Another trench in front blocked the way. There was a deer fort in front of the trench. The Later Jin army had to pause again and ordered Jun Baoyi to move the deer fort and fill it.

At this time, the two sides were still seventy steps away, and the Jurchen archers could already shoot the defenders at the city head with light arrows.

Rows of feather arrows flew into the sky and landed above the Tucheng. The Ming soldiers with armor protection on their bodies had no losses, while the Minzhuang and auxiliary soldiers who did not have armor protection fell down. Many of them had no shields, and were shot by feather arrows falling from the sky and fell down screaming.

The Ming army's Nine-Headed Bird Heavy Muskets and Small Cannons caused greater losses to the Later Jin archers. The distance was only seventy steps. The Nine-Headed Bird Heavy Muskets and Small Cannons had high accuracy at such a close distance, and the terrain at the entrance of the valley was narrow. Each Jiu-Headed Bird Muskets and Small Cannon projectiles with extremely strong penetration could knock down several Later Jin archers.

The twelve-pound field cannon, the twelve-pound howitzer, and the six-pound field cannon were also loaded with shotguns, aiming at the crowds of the Mongolians and Jurchens. The fire flashed at the muzzle, and the projectiles like rain splashed over. The Mongolians and Jurchens screamed and fell down.

If Yuetuo's younger brother Sahalian was not trapped in the valley, the Later Jin army would definitely not have fought such a tough battle that was not worth the effort.

The Later Jin army, which had heavy casualties, finally pushed the third trench and appeared under the Tucheng.

Simple ladders were laid on the city wall, and the Korqin Mongolian soldiers who acted as cannon fodder began to climb.

The defenders on the front of the city shot down the projectile arrows, and the wolf teeth slapped, and the yaksha continued to smash down. The lime bottle and the turbulent oil tank fell from the front of the city like rain. The Mongolians climbing the cloud ladder fell down the cloud ladder like dumplings. The ladders broke, and a small hill of corpses quickly piled up under the city.

The quasi-coat behind once again put the ladder on the top of the city wall, and the Jurchen soldiers in thick armor followed the Mongolian soldiers and climbed up to the top of the city wall. Often, they were halfway through the climb, and they were knocked down by heavy wolf teeth.

After entering the close combat, the Ming army's bird guns were powerful. From time to time, the loaded bird gunners stretched out the gun barrel from the shooting hole and pointed the trigger at the bottom of the city. The projectile penetrated the Mongolian soldiers with almost no protection ability, and also penetrated the Jurchen soldiers wearing thick armor.

The hot golden juice fell down and emitted a foul smell. The attacked Mongolians and Jurchen soldiers were so hot that they screamed in pain.

Occasionally, a few fierce-looking Jurchen soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and were immediately smashed by Han Dashan and others with elite soldiers with heavy weapons and smashed their armor. Some particularly fierce Jurchen soldiers could not stop the three-eyed gun shooting at the top of the city and were beaten into a hornet's nest.

"The large ladder truck of the Tartars is here, load solid shells and beat me hard!" Seeing four large ladder trucks that were taller than the city wall were slowly approaching the city wall, Li Guodong gave an order to the artillery team.

The twelve-pound field gun and the six-pound field gun concentrated their firepower and bombarded them at the ladder truck. It quickly destroyed a ladder truck, smashing the ladder truck into a pile of broken firewood, and three more continued to approach the city wall.

"Shoot out a swarm!" Li Guodong shouted.

In the past few days, the rockets have not been used up, and there are still many left, all of them have come in handy.

Countless rockets spit out flames, pulling white smoke, and flying towards the Jin army's ladder trucks. These inferior rockets have poor accuracy, but are very dense. The quasi-coated carts are falling in pieces, and many rockets are still stuck on the ladder trucks and burning flames. However, it is not easy to destroy large ladder trucks with rockets. The ladder trucks are covered with wet felt, and the quasi-coated carts are carrying buckets. When they see the fire, they lift the bucket and splash water on them.

A row of shells flew away, and another ladder truck was beaten into a pile of broken wood, leaving two ladder trucks to approach the city.

The hail-like turbulent oil bottle smashed over, and the two ladder trucks quickly ignited a fire and eventually burned under the city.

After a fierce battle all day, Dorgon used up all means. Except for leaving corpses all over the ground on Tucheng, the Later Jin army had nothing to catch.

In the valley, Sahalian, who had been trapped for several days, listened to the cannons and shouts of killing at the entrance of the valley. He knew that his fourteenth uncle and elder brother were leading troops to attack. But when it was dark, the shouts stopped and there was still no Jin soldier outside who could enter the valley.

"Tomorrow morning, when we attack the city again, we will attack from behind Mingdog! Attack on both sides, I don't believe that Mingdog can still hold on!" Sahalian summoned all his generals and prepared to attack from behind tomorrow.
