Seeing the defeat of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in the rear formation, Dorgon, except for cursing Nikan a few times for being a waste, did not order a strong attack again.
He was not Duduo, and he knew that the Han army would still have great strength when attacking in the future.
Use it, you can't lose too much before entering the first pass of Ming Dynasty.
Cannon fodder is not used in this way.
The casualties of over a thousand people were enough.
If he attacked the fortress like this, he estimated that thousands of people would be killed to conquer this steep Qiangzi Ridge.
This level was too steep, and he also encountered a tough guy like Man Gui.
Dorgon and Abatai discussed that they still had to drive the Ming people to attack the city.
Although this was not the mainland of the Ming Dynasty and the number of people was not too large, they could still gather 8,000 Han people.
This was enough.
With these Ming people, they could consume The defenders' rolling logs, rocks and ammunition can greatly reduce casualties.
Of course, this means that the siege of the city will be delayed for several days.
Dorgon has long since thought about competing with Azig and Duduo on the East Road.
He still maintains his strength.
If the loss is too much, he does not think that the emperor will Tai Chi can let him go.
At the beginning of the second day, the entire Qiangziling Pass was very peaceful.
Jiannu was gathering Ming people everywhere, while the Ming army was waiting quietly.
The defenders were always passive and could only wait for the other side to take the initiative to use various methods. attack in various ways.
Near noon on the third day, Mangui received a report that Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, led 1,500 troops from the Biao Battalion to reinforce Qiangziling.
This really surprised him.
He had not dared to go to the front line in person in a long time. civil servants, except of course those forced to come by Long Live Lord.
Wu Aheng's station is in Miyun.
The Governor of Jiliao at this time is not the Governor of Jiliao ten years ago.
After the Battle of Daling River, Liao Town was guarding the front lines of Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to survive.
Shenma's counterattack was only on paper.
Yes, Chongzhen had been drained of all his blood by the constant internal rebellions.
He was completely disappointed with Liaodong.
The emperor would be satisfied as long as he could hold Ningjin Shanhaiguan.
Therefore, Governor Ji Liao's focus was on Ji Town, which was repeatedly breached.
Liao Town was simply a nominal existence.
Of course, the residence was also moved from Liao Town to Ji Town Miyun, which was northeast of the capital.
This time Jiannu detained the pass again.
Wu Aheng estimated that Jiannu's army was at least a few thousand people.
Even though Man Gui, the chief soldier of Jizhen, led his 3,000 troops to guard Qiangziling, the force was still weak.
So Wu Aheng left more than a thousand soldiers from the Biao camp to guard Miyun, and led more than a thousand people to reinforce the Qiangziling defenders.
Mangui hurried out of the west gate to greet his immediate boss.
"I'm glad to hear that the Governor has won a victory and defeated Jiannu's siege."
After the two met and exchanged greetings, Wu Aheng raised his voice and cupped his hands.
Wu Aheng can be regarded as an alternative among scholars.
He is very courageous and informal.
He does not pay too much attention to the different paths of civil and military affairs that ordinary civil servants adhere to, and he gets along quite well with military commanders.
"It was just a small victory.
The more than a thousand people killed and wounded were all Han soldiers who established slaves.
I am so ashamed and so ashamed."
Man Gui was a casual man who was very unfamiliar with things in the officialdom.

To put it bluntly, he really didn't know how to brag about flattery, and he didn't bother to do it.
Other generals who killed so many enemies had already received good news, but he didn't pay attention to it. .
"Hey, I know that the Han army's strength has greatly increased in the past two years, making it very difficult to deal with.
The Mandarins must not belittle themselves."
Wu Aheng twisted his beard and said with a smile, he was quite happy, as long as he could keep the Qiangziling pass.
"It's just that the slave-building army has always divided its troops into multiple routes.
This time our army only found out the opponent's offensive along one route, and the other routes..."
Mangui shook his head.
"It's useless to frown at this time.
We should defend Qianzi Ridge first and then talk about who is the commander of the army on the opposite side."
That's the good thing about Wu Aheng.
He is always extremely optimistic and doesn't care about anything he can't think of.
"The one who led tens of thousands of troops to attack this place was Dorgon, the prince of Heshuorui who founded the slaves.
In the past two years, this man conquered the Mongolian tribes and went to Korea.
He also made great achievements.
He and Azige, Yuetuo, Aji Both Batai and Jiannu are people who are good at fighting."
Mangui said while making a concession gesture.
The two of them were exchanging polite words when the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the west, sending up a large plume of smoke in the distance.
Several Ming army cavalry lined up.
Their horses were sweating profusely.
Their bodies were covered with gray and yellow dust.
It looked like they had come galloping for a long distance.
These Ming soldiers rolled their saddles and fell off their horses.
One of the first ones yelled, "Report to the military lord, Mr.
Wu Guojun, the commander-in-chief of the East Road Guard Regiment, reported that tens of thousands of slave-building troops are attacking Qingshan Pass at the north entrance of the East Road.
They are in danger at this time.
I hope you will send troops." rescue."
Wu Aheng and Man Gui immediately stayed on the spot.
The news was so shocking.
As soon as they talked about where Jiannu would march from, another army of Jiannu appeared.
The problem was that it appeared in the wrong place.
It’s nothing more than the regimental training commander Wu Guojun.
He was a regimental training commander who donated money.
The soldiers under his command were extremely weak.
He also had no intention of fighting and was just a drunkard.
However, there were people in the court who helped him, even Wu Aheng.
There is nothing you can do about it, you just have to use it, it’s not enough if you don’t use it.
At this time, they heard that the Jiannu army attacked the line of Qingshan Pass that he was defending.
At that time, the two of them understood that although Qingshan Pass was steep, one could be said to be ten to one, and it was absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it would definitely not be able to stop the Jiannu army.
The general would have the courage to do so.
Wu Guojun will definitely be frightened by the Jiannu army, and the outcome of this battle is unknown.
Qingshan Pass is on the east road.
After breaking through the pass there, you can go southwest to the capital.
At this time, it is meaningless for them to hold on at Qiangzi Ridge on the north wing.
"The military situation is urgent.

Please give me your permission, Master of the Military Sect."
Mangui Surong said with cupped hands.
"Hahaha, the matter has come to this.
I estimate that Qingshan Pass will be lost.
Now Ji County is a critical point.
The Manchu Army will immediately lead troops to Ji County to block the westward path of the slave-building army."
Wu Aheng made a decision immediately, there was nothing he couldn't risk at this time.
"The governor will lead the Biao battalion to block the slave army here for several days, so as to delay the defense of the capital."
"Master Junmen, I will leave one thousand soldiers behind, and more than two thousand others will follow me to help Jixian."
At this time, Mangui could no longer afford to be polite.
Jixian was the east gate of the capital.
As the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, he could not let Jixian fall, otherwise he would be unable to explain to the court and the emperor.
Mangui left behind a Thousands of troops were deployed just to protect Wu Aheng's strength, so the combat power of the model battalion and the remaining garrison troops were worrying.
"The Manchu soldiers will take away all the troops.
It will be good if there are a few hundred defenders in Ji County.
The number of Jiannu who came to attack is estimated to be tens of thousands.
Even if there are more than 3,000 defenders, the city will be in danger."
Wu Aheng did not agree.
Mangui bowed solemnly.
The civil servant in front of him was one of the few literati who was responsible.
Mangui immediately handed over military affairs, leaving more than 2,000 Ming troops behind.
He led more than 3,300 cavalry out of the west gate and then southward, driving directly to Jixian.
In Mangui's view, the distance from Qiangziling to Jixian was about the same, but Jiannu was hindered by the Han army, and his marching speed was probably not as fast as that of his subordinates.
It was estimated that he would probably enter Jixian before Jiannu.
However, Mangui was disappointed.
What he met was Azige, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army who had a lot of battle experience.
Azige had joined the invaders several times and was extremely familiar with the terrain of the capital and the behavior of Ming officials.
It is very clear that Jixian is the gateway to the east of the capital.
As long as they want to shirk responsibility, the Ming army from Jizhen will rush to Jixian.
Therefore, Azig did not drive directly to Jixian, but let the Han army march behind.
He led the Eight Banners soldiers of the Xiangbai Banner, Xianglan Banner, and Zhenghong Banner, as well as the Mongolian Eight Banners and Outer Mongolian cavalry, a total of more than 30,000 people, to drive directly to the west of Jixian.
When the three thousand cavalry led by Mangui entered Guanzhuang, which is more than 20 miles west of Jixian County, they received a report and the Qing army rushed up from the east and north.
"Order all the troops to dismount and reorganize."
Mangui said with a bitter smile.
He did not order an immediate retreat.
Mangui's cavalry only had more than two hundred horses, and the mounts were extremely tired from galloping on the road.
At this time, it would be difficult to retreat westward.
Overtaken by Jiannu.
"My lord, my subordinates are here to lead their troops to resist.
It is best for my lord and the guards to take the opportunity to break out to the west."
Jiang Lichao, an old subordinate and general, stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Aren't you going to abandon this group of brothers and run away?
I don't think so.
Since I joined the army, I have never abandoned my soldiers and fled.
Is it possible that today's Japanese general is not even as good as Zhao Ledjiao?"

Mangui said angrily.
Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao had a great fight in Liao Town.
One was good at riding and fighting, the other was good at defending the city.
The other looked down on the city guard and thought he was timid and cowardly.
The city guard was extremely hostile to Man Gui.
His contempt is nothing more than that of a martial artist.
The two fought extremely fiercely, but Yuan Chonghuan preferred Zhao Lijiao because Zhao Lijiao had something to do with the church and won Yuan Chonghuan's favor.
The final result was that Yuan Chonghuan proposed to the court that Man Gui be transferred out of Liao Town and serve as the chief military officer of Xuanfu.
Ended.
Therefore, Mangui hated Yuan Chonghuan and Zhao Lejiao deeply in his heart.
Mangui's reputation was ruined by these two people all his life.
However, after Zhao led the army and died in a bloody battle with Jiannu, Mangui personally placed an incense burner to pay homage.
He lamented that he had misjudged the person.
Zhao was a bloody man and had the courage to die in the face of defeat and would never live an ignoble life.
In fact, it would be too easy for their generals to escape.
The soldiers did not prepare horses.
The generals and their guards could run away with one person and three horses.
It was not easy for anyone to chase them.
They only had to choose a direction and run wildly.
But this is what he has always looked down upon.
Zhao Lijiao, who had avoided battle and defended the city countless times in Liao Town, did not abandon his men to die together at this time.
He was truly a hero.
Today he, Man Gui, faces the same decision.
Can he, Man Gui, escape?
It's a joke.
Is it still him, Man Gui?
Is there still Zhao Shujiao who can see the truth?
This matter must not be done.
"Sir..."
Jiang Lichao wanted to persuade him again.
"I have made up my mind.
It is a joy in life for a man to fight for the country and wrap his body in horse leather.
Although Zhao Shujiao is dead, no one mentions him as a loyal and brave person."
Mangui waved his hand, saying there was no need to persuade him any more.
Jiang Lichao sighed and retreated helplessly.
He knew that they would all be buried here today.
