Early the next morning, Niu Mantun followed the army and marched. The 60,000-strong army of the Houjin army moved very quickly. Coupled with the disagreement between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen within the Ming army, there was a huge hole in the defense line! The entire Liaohe defense line is in vain! The Houjin army crossed the Liao River almost bloodlessly, and the first line of defense of the Ming army was easily ineffective.

It stands to reason that such an important place should be heavily guarded. However, it is a pity that many defensive measures have not been implemented due to the disagreement between the government and the government. There were only 3,000 defenders in the Xiping Fort of Nuoda. This directly led to the fall of Xiping Fort, and the second line of defense of the Ming army was opened!

Niu Mantun couldn't see the battle ahead, but he also knew that the Houjin army's attack was not going well. He heard that the previous attacks were like an earth-shattering noise, but the artillery fire of the Ming army never dispersed. With only more than 3,000 people, they withstood the repeated attacks of the 60,000 Houjin army. However, Niu Mantun knew that Xiping Fort would not be able to support it for long, because the sound of artillery from Xiping Fort was becoming more and more sparse. This can only mean that there may not be many sub-medicines in the city. Or maybe there aren't many people who can shoot it. Either case, it's not a good thing for Sipin Castle.

A banner soldier is a big loss to the Houjin army. However, there are many fortified cities in Liaodong, and sometimes they have to be filled with human lives.

Niu Mantun also quickly sorted out his armor. Gan Delen told him that when Shangguan ordered the soldiers, his clothes and armor were not neat and he was whipped twenty! Niu Mantun tidied up his clothes and armor and began to eat. At the moment of the big war, if you don't have enough food in your stomach, you can't move the knife! Therefore, Niu Mantun did not spare the grain, stuffed the flatbread and strips into his mouth in a big gulp, and then washed it down with ice-cold water.

It wasn't until the horn sounded outside that everyone rushed out and rushed to the battlefield. Although this is not Niu Mantun's first time in battle, he still has hard legs and stomach and a dry mouth. Looking at the many broken carts and ladders that stayed on the battlefield, we knew that yesterday's offensive and defensive battles were very fierce. The corpses farther away from the walls of Fort Lixiping have been cleared, but there are still many corpses under the walls and not far from them that have not been recovered. These are all Houjin soldiers who died in battle yesterday and today. By this time, the soldiers who had first besieged the city had retreated, and they were walking past them with a look of indignation.

In the Later Jin Army, one Niu Lu was 300 people. Five cattle are 1,500 people. Niu Mantun estimated that after a day of fighting yesterday, the defenders in Xiping Fort were probably less than 1,500 people.

Niu Mantun desperately prayed that his cart would not be hit by the cannon. He knew that if the car was hit by a cannon, he estimated that he would be lucky to be able to fish out a whole corpse! Maybe his prayers worked, and the cannon sound on the Xiping Fort was very rare! Even if the cannon is fired, it is not accurate, and it should be that the good gunners have lost everything.

After seeing the city wall, the Jin army began to attack, and the sound of guns and cannons became dense. But compared to yesterday, it is sparse and has no deterrent effect. So although some people fell in that Niu Lu, there were not many people overall. This gave Niu Mantun the confidence to live.

Ming soldiers appeared on the city walls, and they threw stones, arrows, and firebolts downward. And there is also a team of selected Houjin archers under the city, who are suppressing the city wall. The Later Jin Army mostly used heavy arrows, which were shaped like a shrunken flat shovel, very sharp and heavy! Even if it misses the vital point, it will cause a huge wound and bleed!
