The Later Jin invaded the Ming Dynasty this time, and the scale of the last time was not as large as that of Jisi. Except for 30,000 Jurchen soldiers and 20,000 Mongolian soldiers, there were no auxiliary soldiers in the invasion with Baoyi. The number of people plundered the Ming Dynasty was not large, and only 50,000 were robbed as Baoyi.

Since he wanted to break through the city at any cost, Dorgon ordered the 50,000 Han people who had just been plundered to wrap their clothes and cut down wood, build shield chariots and siege weapons, and prepared to put the plundered Han people in front as cannon fodder, followed by the Mongols, and the Great Jin warriors followed the final battle.

The captured Han people worked under the knife and whip of the Mongols and Jurchens, cutting down wood, building shield cars, collision cars, simple cloud ladders, simple trench bridges, large ladder cars, tower cars and other siege weapons.

Sakhalin, who was trapped in the valley, heard the cannon sound at the entrance of the valley stopping, and a Niu Lue asked worriedly: "Master Beller, won't the Fourteen Beller and Yue Tobeller come to save us?"

"Don't worry!" Sahalian comforted, "Minggou fortifications are strong and we need to build siege weapons."

At Yanmen Pass, someone came to report: "General Cao! General Li's messenger is here!"

"Let him come in quickly." Cao Wenzhao said.

The person who came in was Tang Chong, the general of Li Guodong. He handed over Li Guodong's handwritten letter: "General Cao, the chief of Jiannu, Sahalian, has been trapped by our army in the Yungaishan Valley. Our army has established a city at both ends and blocked five thousand real slaves. Now the reinforcements of the Taurus have arrived. I hope General Cao can help and borrow hundreds of elite troops to help our army block the Taurus."

Cao Wenzhao took the letter and saw that it was indeed Li Guodong's handwritten letter. There was a picture on it, which marked the two exits to the west and northeast of the valley. The city walls had been built, and Sahalian was trapped in the valley. Dorgon and Yuetuo's army had arrived and were preparing to attack the city walls in the west. Li Guodong was full of confidence in defending the city walls. The only thing he was worried about was that there were insufficient defenders in the mountains on both sides, and Jiannu might send white armored soldiers back from the mountains and forests. Li Guodong's own number of people was not large, so he needed to borrow a group of elite soldiers from Cao Wenzhao and his servants to assist in the defense.

"Then let the Bian Jiao help you! I will also write to the guards in various places nearby and ask them to send troops to help." Cao Wenzhao put away the letter and said.

Cao Bianjiao took the order, brought fifty elite soldiers and two hundred Cao family servants, followed Tang Chong, and took a small path to help Li Guodong defend the mountains and forests on both sides.

The battle to encircle and annihilate Sakhalian has attracted the attention of all the Ming army in Xuanda. The generals of the Ming army in Xuanda and Shanxi sent their elite servants to assist in the battle, hoping to gain benefits from this battle with a high winning rate. Li Guodong also knew that it was difficult to wipe out Sakhalian's vanguard with his own troops alone, so he was willing to divide the credit and let everyone work together to annihilate the Jin army.

Li Guodong, who was stationed by Han Dashan, had already brought two thousand Minsheng and auxiliary soldiers from the mountain road on the right to strengthen the defense of the city wall. What he was worried about at present was that the defense power of the mountains and forests on both sides was insufficient, and he had only more than 100 Ye Buying under his command. If he faced the white-armored soldiers of Sahalian and his unit, he could still use the terrain to block the enemy. If Yue Tuo and Dorgon's white-armored soldiers were released and detoured from the small path, these more than 100 Ye Buying could not stop the enemy.

"General Li, Wang Qianhu is bringing people." Just when Li Guodong was extremely anxious, someone came to report.

Wang Quan arrived with the guards. Because the Later Jin invaded, the business of the Dadewang caravan at the west entrance was temporarily interrupted. Wang Quan, who had just purchased goods from the south, heard the news and immediately brought his thousand guards to reinforce.

"Brother, it's great that you are here! Brother, this army is insufficient! You have selected elite troops to help us in the mountains on both sides of the mountain, and the rest are all staying in the city." When Li Guodong saw Wang Quan, he patted his shoulder and said happily.

"The Tartars have begun to attack!" Someone came to report.

"Let's go out and take a look!" Li Guodong walked out of the camp and took a group of generals to the arrow tower in Tucheng.

Standing on the high-level arrow tower, looking down, I saw the sound of drums and drums in the Later Jin camp, shaking the earth. The black Jin soldiers walked out of the camp. In the front were two hundred shield chariots, and the cart was more than 4,000 Han people who were looted by Jin soldiers. Behind the shield chariot was more than 2,000 elite Later Jin archers followed, and more than 3,000 Mongolian soldiers were followed. There were Later Jin Jurchen cavalry on both wings, and behind were one thousand Later Jin sword cards and one thousand spearmen.

"The formation of the Tartars is so powerful!" Wang Quan gasped, "There are many people in the camp behind them, but the valley is narrow and the troops cannot be used, so they did not press down on them."

"Some shield cars are still excellent shield cars. They are covered with several layers of cowhide, mud, and wet quilts on the outside." Li Guodong said, pointing to a shield car.

That kind of exquisite shield car is eight feet tall, the large shield in front is higher than a person, and the thickness of the guard plate in front is probably one foot thick! In addition, cowhide and wet quilt, the inner layer is probably covered with a layer of iron, which is simply composite armor! I don’t know if the six-pound cannon can penetrate.

However, Li Guodong was still very at ease with the power of the twelve-pound cannon and the 64-pound mortar cannon. The twelve-pound field cannon shells hit those excellent shield cars. Even if they cannot penetrate, they can kill the people who push the cart even if they are unable to penetrate. The 64-pound mortar cannon shells fell from a high altitude and could directly hit the Later Jin soldiers behind the shield cart.

There are only twenty most sophisticated shield cars, and the rest are common shield cars. Like the shield cars used by the Jin army before, the workmanship is rough and simple to make, and the wooden board is thinner. It can only block bird guns, nine-headed birds, tiger squat cannons and light Folang machines. Even when they encounter Li Guodong's three-pound field cannons, they cannot stop them.

The Later Jin soldier Zhang Qinglin stood behind a shield cart. He was originally from Liaodong. Later, the old slave seized Liaodong and his family became Baoyi. He luckily escaped the massacre of the old slaves who killed grain-free households, and later was replaced as auxiliary soldiers and participated in the battles of Goryeo and other battles. During the Jisi Incident five years ago, Zhang Qinglin made great contributions, but was not carried into the Eight Banners. Until two years ago, King Sanshun surrendered, he was incorporated into the Han army and into the Han army flag, and some surrendered Ming troops were also incorporated into the Han army flag. At this time, he had long regarded himself as a Jurchen, not a Han.

After the Jisi Incident, the Later Jin Dynasty plundered a large number of Han people from the pass and returned to Liaodong. Zhang Qinglin assigned more than 30 roosters, one of which was a young woman who was pregnant at that time but was quite beautiful, so Zhang Qinglin married the woman. Later, the woman gave birth to a son. Although it was not his own son, he was very kind to his son. In the past few years, the woman gave birth to him a daughter and a son.

In fact, the woman was the stepmother of He Xing's wife Li Xiaohui. After being raped by more than ten Jin soldiers, she was lucky enough to survive outside the pass and was lucky enough to meet Zhang Qinglin, so she did not end up with the same tragic fate as other Han people.
