Xiong Tingbi stood at the head of the city, his face gloomy.

Sure enough, Nurhachi was going to be ambushed. This was the case with the siege just now, this was to lure his old bear out, and when the time came, he would be caught off guard.

However, Nurhachi obviously did not expect that there was a huge cannon in Shenyang City, which made this cunning wild boar's plan come to naught.

If it weren't for this huge cannon, the people sent out by his old bear would have been besieged, and they would have been defeated at that time. If they were to be brought into the city, Nurhachi would definitely take the opportunity to go directly into the city.

It's just that Nurhachi's plan will inevitably fail, even if there is no giant cannon, his old bear will not open the city gate to take Li Guangrong into the city, but will let Li Guangrong run backwards.

As for how far he can run, whether he can run or not, it is not up to him to control the old bear, it depends on Li Guangrong's own luck.

Otherwise, the wild boar skin took advantage of the situation to kill, and his old bear would not be able to guarantee the safety of Shenyang City.

But now the situation is not as Xiong Tingbi originally imagined, not only did he not have to open the city gate to answer, but he needed to open the door and go out to attack. Otherwise, with Li Guangrong's troops, I am afraid that he will not be able to kill the hillside where Nurhachi is located.

Thinking of this, Xiong Tingbi turned around and walked downstairs to the city tower.

While walking, Xiong Tingbi said loudly: "Assemble!" Pass the order of the general, go out with the commander to kill the enemy and make meritorious service! ”

After this order was issued, the soldiers at the head of Shenyang City moved and quickly gathered under the city.

The gates were opened, and the army swarmed out.

Xiong Tingbi was in front of the formation, riding a horse and shouting loudly: "Kill!" Catch boar skins alive! ”

"Catch the boar skin alive!" The Ming army followed, and for a while, the momentum was like a rainbow.

The battle outside was still going on, and Li Guangrong kept fighting forward, but the distance he advanced was not much.

Once the cavalry could not be killed, it would lose its power, and Li Guangrong had already fallen into a bitter battle.

Li Yan, who was above the city, was also ready at this time, and directly turned the cannon head.

By this time, it was no longer necessary to attack that hillside, but to bombard the army of wild boar skins.

Wherever there are many people gathered, they shoot at them. Directly smashed it with live ammunition, and the big iron ball rolled on the ground, it was bound to be a person turning over on his back.

For breaking dense military formations, solid bullets are very effective.

Xiong Tingbi also led the foot soldiers to kill at this time.

All of a sudden, there were muskets and shouts of killing.

The formation of the wild boar skin was not out of order, and Xiong Tingbi also rushed forward in the form of a military formation, with cavalry guards on both sides. The sword and shield men are in front, the musketeers are in the back, and there are archers on either side.

In the back row of the formation, there was also a group of people carrying small cannons and galloping quickly. They did not follow the group, but turned to the flanks under the escort of a group of foot soldiers, quickly found a suitable position and began to set up the artillery.

The size of this cannon is not large, and a person can walk with it on his shoulder. The three of them set up the guns for a unit, loaded them with flowering shells, and began shelling the field of wild boar skins.

If the number of small cannons is small, it is not too powerful, and it will not cause too much damage. However, there were many of these cannons, and more than 200 guns were arranged on both sides of the position, and there were even those loaded with loose bullets, which were used to prevent wild boar skins from rushing up, and they could use scattered bullets to blast away the formation of wild boar skins.

More than 200 artillery pieces smashed towards the rear of the boar skin.

All of a sudden, the sound of explosions on the battlefield shook the sky.

In addition, the cannon on the head of the city also came from time to time, and countless gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield in an instant.

At this time, Mang Gurtai was already red-eyed, and his face was full of anxious looks.

At the moment when the Ming artillery began to fire, Mang Gurtai knew that this time it was probably going to be worse.

How could the Ming army have so much artillery?

And that's not counting the heavy artillery on the city, all of which were light artillery that could be carried away by one person.

All of a sudden, the sound of artillery was everywhere, and as long as a military formation was formed, the artillery fire of the Ming army would cover it, and the situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, and the brigade of the Ming army quickly pressed on.

At this time, the sound of gongs suddenly sounded behind the military formation.

Mang Gurtai also knew that this was Mingjin's withdrawal of troops, which meant that it could be withdrawn. But now that he is entangled by the Ming army, how can he withdraw so easily?

I don't know who struck the gong, is this looking for death?

Mang Gurtai thought so, but the other soldiers didn't. The soldiers, who had long been unable to withstand it, were defeated and retreated in an instant.

The Ming army pursued and killed in the rear, and pursued for more than 30 miles before stopping.

Xiong Tingbi was very happy in his heart, but there was no happy expression on his face.

This time the pursuit was a little too deep, and he hurriedly said: "Quickly reorganize the army, leave some people to clean up, and the rest of the people will return to the city." ”

Although the battle was won, Xiong Tingbi also knew that it was because of the suddenness of the incident. chamberlain

One shot went down and bombarded Nurhachi, so that their idea of ambushing the Ming official army was in vain. I'm just taking advantage of the situation to cover up.

Even so, the Ming official army did not take much advantage. The boar skin is hard-fought and much stronger than its own side.

On the other side, Mang Gultai returned to the rear, a feathered arrow stuck in his shoulder.

But at this time, he couldn't care about so much, Mang Gurtai walked quickly to the handsome tent, and saw the third brother Abai at a glance.

Mang Gurtai hurriedly greeted him and asked worriedly, "Third brother, how is Father Khan?" ”

"Father Khan was injured and fainted." Abai said with a calm face: "I've woken up now. The Ming army was bombarded by artillery, and his father Khan was pressed under his personal guards, so he was not seriously injured. However, the first shot caused his father Khan to fall from his horse, and he still suffered some injuries. ”

"But Amin......" Speaking of this, Abai looked lonely and couldn't go on.

Mang Gurtai was stunned. Of course he knew what Abai meant.

Amin has always been by his father's side, ready to fight when sniping at the Ming army.

Unexpectedly, before he could fight, Amin was bombarded by artillery.

"What the hell is going on?" Mang Gurtai asked with a calm face.

"When the artillery bombarded, Father Khan was crushed under him by his personal guards. Everyone was busy protecting their father Khan, and Amin was shelled. The second shot fell on his side, and Amin was badly wounded, having just gone. Abai said in a somewhat low tone.

After hearing this, Mang Gurtai's face instantly turned ugly, and his eyes turned red.

"Now is not the time to be sad." Abai looked at Mang Gurtai and said directly: "I don't know if the Ming army will catch up." We now have to protect our father Khan and hurry back, and at the same time we must prepare for battle in case the Ming army attacks. ”

Mang Gurtai looked at Abai and saw a solemnity in his eyes.

This made Mang Gultai realize one thing, Father Khan's injury was not as easy as Abai said, I am afraid that there will be other changes, but there is no way to say here.

So Mang Gurtai nodded.

Different from the sad atmosphere of wild boar skin, the Ming army can be said to be celebrating.

It's just that as the battlefield was cleaned up, the atmosphere became a little gloomy.

Originally, everyone was fighting, and it was nice to win. But now that the battlefield has been cleaned up, many corpses of the Ming defenders have been carried out, and the atmosphere has naturally become gloomy.

As the battlefield was cleared, the outcome of the battle was also approximated.

Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Guangrong, listened to his report, nodded slowly and said: "Pass the order, I will report to the court immediately for all the meritorious soldiers and ask the court to report their merits." For soldiers who died in battle, the official will also report to the court and ask the court to increase the pension. ”

"Yes, Marshal." Li Guangrong agreed.

Having won this battle, these are also the proper meanings. Now that such words have come out, it can be regarded as being used to appease the morale of the army and make everyone mentally prepared.

Xiong Tingbi said directly: "I want to write a good news immediately, and send it to the capital as soon as possible." ”

"The lowly retired." Li Guangrong agreed, turned around and walked outside.

This kind of thing, Li Guangrong is inconvenient to participate in. This is Xiong Tingbi's right, and Li Guangrong has to do other things.

At the same time, in the capital, the atmosphere is as harmonious as ever. It's just that some people are happy, and some people are not.

Among the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

Wei Dazhong looked angrily at the official in front of him and asked, "What evidence do you have to lock me up?" You are wronged good people! That's how you Shuntianfu handled the case? ”

Standing in front of Wei Dazhong was a man in his fifties, wearing the official uniform of a civil official, and he looked like he should be the general judge of Shuntianfu.

Hearing Wei Dazhong's words, Tong Ju's face sank and said, "For the sake of you being a scholar, we are already polite enough." Don't be ignorant. This official Chen Qihe, if there is anything unconvinced, you can go to the sue. ”

Chen Qihe said angrily: "As a scholar, how can you be so ignorant? ”

"This time, you're involved in a big theft. Whatever is involved, it is natural to arrest it. After proving your innocence, they will naturally let you go. To cooperate with the government to investigate the case, a scholar has no consciousness at all? ”

Wei Dazhong glared at Chen Qihe angrily and said, "You don't go to track down the real culprit, but arrest everyone, this is dereliction of duty." That's how you did your majesty's errand? ”

Chen Qihe looked at Wei Dazhong and didn't bother to deal with the other party.

In fact, there are a lot of such things in the yamen. Because you are suspected of being involved in the case, they will arrest you, and then arrest you in a prison to investigate again, so as to prevent the suspect from escaping.

However, Chen Qihe also knows that such a practice can also be used to frame people.

Many times when officials want to kill a person, they will use this method to arrest the person and put him in prison. After arriving in the prison, he was naturally tortured in every way, or killed by some vicious methods.

When the case is clear, this person has nothing to do with the case, but the person is dead. Naturally, he contracted the disease in prison and died unexpectedly.

The imperial court would express its condolences, and some compensation would be given to the families of the deceased, and local officials would even come to the door to comfort them.

But these are all superficial efforts, but in fact, someone wants to kill this person and throw this person into prison.
