From the first wave of lead bullet attacks on Nurhachi and his party to Nurhachi's standing up under the protection of the human wall, in just a few tens of seconds, great changes have taken place on the battlefield that Nurhachi can't even calm down.

The Jurchens at the front had already rushed to the city wall and were baptized with grenades by the People's Army grenadiers, and thousands of Jurchens had fallen in the continuous explosions, and the other Jurchens did not dare to continue to approach the twenty-meter range of the city wall.

Finally, Nurhachi gave the order to withdraw the army, the army began to retreat, and the musketeers on the city wall came to the forefront again, and sent the Jianzhou Jurchen army away with the muskets in their hands.

After the Jianzhou Jurchen army retreated to a safe position, after counting, 100,000 troops went into battle, and 86,000 people came back alive, that is to say, just a tentative attack, 14,000 people were lost, and those who did not obey Nurhachi's orders were almost dead, and some people who obeyed Nurhachi's orders died.

Knowing the remaining strength of the army, Nurhachi's face was full of seriousness, he was able to defeat the Ming court and become the new ruler of the land of China, Nurhachi knew that the strength of the People's Army was not weak, but it was just a tentative attack to lose so many people, and the strength of the People's Army was beyond his imagination.

Strong, too strong.

On the way to retreat, Nurhachi had already figured out that the person who attacked him was the People's Army on the city wall, or attack with muskets, and attack with muskets from such a distance, this was no longer the musket in his impression, and the muskets with such a long range, even if they were only equipped with a thousand, the Jianzhou Jurchen army would not be able to capture the Parrot Pass, not to mention that there were also firearms that could explode.

With the kind of firearms that can explode, the Jianzhou Jurchen army can't climb the city wall at all, and they can't even get close to the city wall.

While Nurhachi was contemplating in reverie, there was a commotion outside, and listening to the sounds, Nurhachi could guess that it was a Japanese in the army.

When the army retreated, the Jurchens who monitored the Japanese vanguard reported that the Japanese vanguard had suffered a great defeat, and Nurhachi understood that the People's Army at Parrot Pass was as strong as the People's Army in Jiulian City.

However, the Japanese who suffered a big defeat already have strong strength, and the Jianzhou Jurchens have also lost a lot of troops, so it is not the time to turn against the Japanese invaders.

"Let them in."

Hearing the chief's order, the guards let the pirates in.

"You are too weak, the 100,000 army can't capture a Parrot Pass, you are so weak, you don't even have the qualifications to surrender to the Wa Kingdom, give you three days, you must capture the Parrot Pass!" The leading wolf said arrogantly.

Nurhachi couldn't understand the words of the Wako, but there was an interpreter in the group who translated them into words that Nurhachi could understand.

Nurhachi, who was not angry after losing the battle, became angry because of the words of the Japanese Kou, but this anger was suppressed in Nurhachi's heart, as long as the Japanese army suffered another heavy defeat and some people were killed and injured, Nurhachi dared to turn his face with the Japanese Kou.

After all, at that time, the enemy of the Japanese Invaders was not only the Jianzhou Jurchens, but also the People's Army, and even if the Japanese wanted to attack the Jianzhou Jurchens, they could not have any troops, and they had to set aside some troops to guard against the People's Army.

For the time being, he couldn't turn his face, and Nurhachi responded politely, saying that the Jianzhou Jurchens had just suffered heavy casualties in the first battle and needed time to rest.

Originally, the Japanese did not agree to the Jianzhou Jurchens to rest for a longer time, but they quickly agreed under Nurhachi's money offensive.

It is impossible to attack again, the People's Army stationed at Parrot Pass is so strong, even if the 100,000 army attacks with all its might, it is almost impossible to capture Parrot Pass, and now Nurhachi just wants to delay time, drag it out until the Japanese invaders and then suffer defeat, and the more the Japanese die, the happier Nurhachi is.

Nurhachi is confident that he can rely on the terrain of mountains and forests to resist the Japanese invaders, and he is also confident that he can rely on the terrain of mountains and forests to resist the People's Army, the People's Army is stronger than the Ming army, but it is impossible to defeat the Jianzhou Jurchens in the mountains and forests.

When the Jurchen army of Jianzhou retreated to rest, the main force of the Japanese army led by Ukita Hideya finally converged with the vanguard army led by Konishi Yukinaga, and the two armies combined had 130,000 horses, and the strength was almost ten times that of the Jiuliancheng People's Army.

After the two armies converged, Ukita Hideya and Konishi Yukinaga sat together, wanting to learn more about the previous battles of the vanguard army, but they could not describe everything through letters alone.

Muskets and grenades were the main content of Konishi's words, and it was the two firearms attacks that the vanguard army encountered, and the vanguard army suffered heavy casualties, and Ukita Hideya was very surprised by the two firearms equipped by the KPA.

The KPA had artillery, and the Japanese army also had artillery, but even if there were hundreds of pieces of artillery in battle, it would not be able to inflict much damage on the enemy, even if the shells could explode.

The musket army is also equipped, but the musket equipped by the Japanese army has a maximum range of 150 meters or a little farther away, while the musket equipped by the People's Army has a range of more than 600 meters, which cannot make Ukita Hideya believe that it is true, and the difference between the muskets equipped by the enemy and us is too great.

There is also a kind of firearm that can be thrown under the city wall and exploded, which also caused a lot of damage to the Japanese army, and was not very useful when attacking, and could not be thrown from under the city wall, but it could exert its power when defending the city.

Why are such firearms in the hands of the enemy?

Ukita Hideya was very irritable, and when he heard what Konishi Yukiro said, it was difficult to fight Jiulian City.

Ukita Hideya convened a meeting of the middle and high ranks of the army to discuss the next battle plan, and in the meeting, an idea was recognized by most people, the enemy put the most elite troops in Jiulian City, and the Japanese army would suffer heavy casualties if they wanted to capture Jiulian City.

In this case, everyone chose to attack in another place, and it was impossible for all the enemy's troops to be so strong.

In addition, it is necessary to find a way to lure out the enemy stationed in Jiulian City, the goal of the Japanese army is to capture the entire Liaodong region, if the enemy in Jiulian City does not want to destroy it, it will also bring great losses to the Japanese army.

Defending the city is the advantage of this elite army, so there will not be too many advantages in field/warfare, and the Japanese army can take the opportunity to exterminate it and destroy this elite army, and there will be no major changes if the Japanese army takes the entire Liaodong.

Open the map, and finally Ukita Hideya put the next target of the Japanese army in the north of Jiulian Castle Changdian Fort, although it takes more than a day of marching to reach it, but Changdian Fort is smaller than Jiulian Castle, and the enemy's troops will be much less than Jiulian Castle, Ukita Hideya does not believe that the more than 100,000 troops can't even take a small Changdian Fort.

Next, the Japanese army divided the troops into two routes, Ukita Hideya personally led the main force to attack Changdian Fort, Konishi Yukinaga led a force to stay outside Jiulian Castle, if the enemy stationed in Jiulian Castle chose to support Changdian Castle, he would look for an opportunity to capture Jiulian Castle, and Ukita Hideya would also look for an opportunity to destroy the enemy's elite troops outside.
