In the first year of the Apocalypse, He Shixian, the defender of Shenyang at that time, attacked the enemy lightly, fell into the siege of the Houjin soldiers, and died in the suburbs.

After that, the imperial court discussed the issue of abandoning Liaoshen and building the Ningjin defense line, and finally Zhu Youxiao approved the combination of Xiong Tingbi and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaodong.

The Ming Dynasty did not hesitate to use a large amount of manpower and materials to continue to hold the Liaoshen Plain, coupled with Mao Wenlong's continuous landing and sneak attacks on Phi Island, which led to a dilemma for Nurhachi.

Shenyang City Huan has been repaired and abandoned several times, and now, it is not as strong as it once was.

Around Shenyang, Houjin and Daming have been engaged in fierce battles for more than a year, and the guards here have also changed several batches.

Later, as Xiong Tingbi expected, Jin Guo raised troops again at the time of Meng Chun and marched south.

After Nurhachi returned from Phi Island, he immediately recruited troops in Hetuala, personally led 60,000 eight banners, known as the 15th army, mobilized the army, and crossed the Hunhe River.

At this time, the Shenyang guard general issued several edicts for Zhu Youxiao, and forcibly transferred Yuan Chonghuan to prepare for Ningyuan's troops.

At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan was wearing armor, standing on top of the city pass, watching the slave soldiers who threw down a piece of corpse and retreated in panic, and quietly put the blood-stained goose wing knife back into its sheath.

"Soldiers, this is the third time that the slave soldiers have retreated."

"This time, they didn't send cavalry to collect the bodies of the dead slaves under artillery fire." Yuan Chonghuan didn't move, he snorted lightly, and said:

"According to your estimates, how many more days can Shenyang be held?"

Because of his father's inheritance of Yin Fu, Zu Dashou was awarded the post of world this year, as a guerrilla general, and was one of the generals under Yuan Chonghuan.

Speaking of which, his starting point is a lot higher than that of most generals.

Zu Dashou thought that he was inexperienced in battle, and he also wondered why Bingbei asked himself, but he still replied 1510:

"Preparing for the army, the slave soldiers attacking the city, is nothing more than hiding behind the shield cart, taking a ladder to fight with our army in the city, and what I rely on is just relying on the city to hold on, and the arrows and stones are just fired."

As soon as the words fell, a loud bang was suddenly heard, and the pillars of Shenyang City trembled, and the noise spread everywhere, and a Liao general hurriedly came:

"Soldiers, slave soldiers are attacking the east gate with urgent troops!"

Yuan Chonghuan didn't have time to reply, his heart sank, he held the goose wing knife, and rushed to the east gate with Zu Dashou in person.

When he arrived at the East Gate Tower, Zu Dashou looked around and said:

"The slaves are loaded with iron carts!"

The so-called iron car, is Nurhachi in the years of Liaodi siege battle to learn experience to create a magic weapon to win, in the past, the shield car, can not withstand the artillery bombardment of the defenders on the city, but also only the role of cover.

This iron car, several times larger than an ordinary shield car, is wrapped in 100 catties of iron armor, and there is another vacancy, which can hide armor soldiers.

In the past, when the siege of the city arrived, the iron car was almost invincible.

"Armament, our army's Western artillery can only aim at the slave soldiers in the distance, and the soldiers in the city shoot arrows and throw stones, fire firearms, and cannot hurt the Tartar soldiers in the iron car, how should this be?"

Zu Dashou looked at it for a long time, and then turned his head to look at Yuan Chonghuan.

As expected, the current Yuan Chonghuan also clenched his fists, there was no way, he regretted a little, why didn't he make enough preparations when he came out of Ningyuan.

At this time, a Liao general ran over and said:

"Prepare for the troops, the slave soldiers have arrived at the city by iron car, and hundreds of people have gathered under the city to start digging and digging a way into the city!"

"In the spring of Meng, the soil is sparse, and I am afraid that within two days, I will be dug out of a passage by the slave soldiers, and the soldiers will be prepared-" Zu Dashou said sharply:

"Give the order, instead of waiting for the slave soldiers to attack the city, it is better to pack up the army and civilians, rush out of the city, and we will swear to live and die with Shenyang!"

When the words fell, many Liao generals all looked at Yuan Chonghuan at the head of the city, but when they saw the latter raising their eyes to the sky, they sighed abruptly:

"Could it be that this is heaven's help to build a captive, and I am going to die Daming!?"

At present, in the spring season of Meng, the iron car arrived in the camp of Jiannu, which could transport the soldiers to the city of Shenyang, start digging the earth, and enter the city through tunnels.

The heavy artillery could not hit the city, and the existing arrow and stone firearms could not hurt the iron car, so Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to order more arrow and stone artillery to kill and injure the slave soldiers.

After a long time, the projectiles were exhausted, and the defenders of the city had no means to defend against the slaves, and they heard the sound of the slaves digging under the city getting closer and closer, and they looked at each other.

The people in the city did not know the battle ahead, and they were even more panicked.

Thinking of the imminent slaughter of Jiannu, the lives of himself and his family would be trampled on by iron horsemen like ants, and some greedy people and soldiers found knives and wanted to shave their heads and surrender.

In their eyes, it is more fortunate that the whole family was slaughtered when the city was broken.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yuan Chonghuan knew that he could no longer sit and wait for death, so he summoned Zu Dashou and other Liao generals, stood in the East Gate Tower, shouted loudly, and decided to go out of the city:

"This soldier has given an order, go out of the city and fight to the death with the slaves, the city is in the people, the city is destroyed, and the people are dead!"

Zu Dashou didn't expect that he would end up in such a situation in the first battle, and he had no regrets, and then shouted:

"Swear to live and die with the army!"

The morale of the Ming army was like a rainbow, but they saw hundreds of people coming.

An old man trembled and stepped forward and said:

"We and the living people do not want to wait at home for death, nor do we want to become slaves and be spurned by our ancestors."

"Yuan soldiers defend the city against the enemy, and do their best to protect the lives of the people in the city, and the old man is thankful!"

Yuan Chonghuan looked moved, hurriedly helped the old man, and said:

"What did the old gentleman say, although He Shixian underestimated the enemy in the past, he also fought to the death to defend the society."

"I, Yuan Chonghuan, have put pen to paper, and I am determined to resist the captives, and I will also die as he deserves."

"Everyone, take a hoe at home, pick up a nail rake, and wait for the army to be killed in battle with the defenders of the city, and then fight with the thieves, kill one more, and earn one."

"Yuan Bingbei—"

Under the eyes of hundreds of people, Yuan Chonghuan easily mustered up the determination to fight and die for the country, and led the Liao army to march just a few steps, but saw that cheers suddenly sounded at the head of the city.

"The slaves are back!"

"The slaves are back!!"

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't believe it, and was busy with Zu Dashou and the whole city army and civilians to climb the city tower, and when he saw a sound of grief, Nurhachi was unwilling to collect his troops and led the iron cavalry to go away.

Suddenly, fierce cheers sounded at the head of the city, and the banner of the Ming Dynasty was once again waved in the air.

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't understand why Nurha captured Shenyang with his bare eyes, but why he suddenly withdrew his troops and returned.

The wind and snow on the frontier are different from day to day.

Due to the approaching Xiaoice River period, this year's warming of Liaodi is only a few days, and as soon as the Nurhachi iron car arrived that night, it was found that Liaodi was rapidly turning cold.

During the day, it is also empty, the wind is beautiful, and in the evening, it will drip into ice, and the wind and snow will be cold.

Overnight, the Houjin army was surprised to find that the tunnels they had dug had been tightly frozen.

If you want to dig again, just save it, and it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Nurhachi's retreat this time was not after Mao Wenlong's attack, nor Yuan Chonghuan's defense of the city, but because the foundation of the city wall was frozen too hard to be dug up.

In addition, Amin's attack on North Korea this time was an unauthorized attack, and Nurhachi was furious, estimating that he could not quickly capture Shenyang, so he immediately made a decision and decided to withdraw his troops.

As for Yuan Chonghuan, of course, he boasted of a great victory in the city and reported it to the Beijing Division.
