It was dark, and both sides were tired after a day of fighting, but the defenders of the city were afraid that the besiegers would take advantage of the darkness to dig the corners of the city, and the attackers outside the city were also afraid that the defenders of the city would get up in the middle of the night to rob the camp, and everyone spent a sleepless night on alert.

After a night's rest, everyone became alive again, and since it was not possible to achieve the goal of mutual satisfaction by peaceful means, the war would continue. Early the next morning, the defenders at the head of Ningyuan City found that the enemy under the city had divided their troops, a group of people moved to the southwest corner of Ningyuan City, and another group of men and horses moved to the northeast corner of Ningyuan City. It's like a dog gnawing on a bone, and if it doesn't move, it will gnaw on another end.

After receiving the report of the soldiers patrolling the city, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui and Sun Chuanting hurriedly instructed people to move the cannon and the iron cage to the northeast and southwest corners, fortunately, the iron frame used to fix the iron cage was not heavy, and the cannon could also be mounted on the gun carriage, so it was not very troublesome to move. After a while, the defenders of the city found that the target of the Jurchens did not seem to be Ningyuan City, the distance between the city wall and the hillside in the northeast corner of the city was about two or three miles, and the Jurchens went around the city next to the hillside until they reached the bottom of the Yuezi Pass City, it seemed that they were not going to change direction but to change the target.

The enemy in the southwest corner of Ningyuan City seems to have encountered some trouble, the open space in the west of Ningyuan City is less than a mile wide, and then it is the hillside, the mountain is not high but the slope is very steep, and the most gasping can be turned over when traveling with bare hands, but it is not easy to wear dozens of catties of cotton iron armor, and if you want to ride a horse and cart to attack Yuezi Guancheng, you have to cross next to Ningyuan City, and the distance of one mile is the effective and best range of artillery.

Ao Bai is not a person who is afraid of difficulties, and people who are afraid of difficulties cannot be Manchurian warriors. He estimated that the Ming army in the west of Ningyuan City had not had time to mount the cannons from other places, so he immediately ordered to rush over 5,000 people until the northwest corner of Ningyuan City passed under the Yuezi Pass, as long as they rushed out of the range of the cannons, it would be a victory.

After receiving the order, the Jurchen soldiers pushed the cart with bows and arrows and rode fast horses and rushed from the west of Ningyuan City, as for the cannonballs and bows and arrows in the city, then everyone according to their character and luck whoever gets hit will accept their fate, the government cannot be blamed for the bitter life, and the society cannot be blamed for the bitter life.

In the west of the Yuezi Guancheng, Huang Daozhou saw the purpose of the Jurchens clearly, he could not let the Jurchens rush through this choke point, otherwise he would face the pressure of the Jurchens alone, although there were 20,000 people in the Yuezi Guancheng, but they were all people who could only repair the city wall and farm, and dancing knives and arrows were a sideline for them. It's okay to ask them to shoot a few arrows on the wall, but it is estimated that it is difficult for them to go out and fight with the enemy at close range, and besides, there are still their wives and children living in the fire piers in the city, and these people will cry when they see their relatives die, and crying more people will also affect morale.

Fortunately, there are still 5,000 car battalions and 3,000 cavalry to command, originally 10,000 cavalry, of which 3,000 were divided to the west of Ningyuan Pass to guard the border wall, a few days ago the Jurchens wanted to climb over the wall to come in and sneak attack unsuccessfully and spied outside a few times, Huang Daozhou simply let the 3,000 cavalry take turns to patrol near the side wall. The remaining 7,000 cavalry gave Ni Yuanlu 4,000, and there are still 20,000 people here who can help with archery, and Ni Yuanlu was in charge of the east where 20,000 people were originally pulled to Nanguan to repair the city before Lushun, but now only Lu Xiangsheng and 800 hammer soldiers are there, plus the 200 brocade guards brought by Ni Yuanlu are only 1,000 people, and it can be reassuring to transfer 4,000 to the past.

Seeing the Jurchens rushing over violently, Huang Daozhou asked Zuo Liangyu to lead people to push out a large car to block the road, and the configuration of the car battalion was a total of 500 vehicles for ten people and a car, and more than 200 cars on the one-mile-wide road were blocked, and the rest were used as reserve forces. Zodiac Zhou's plan was to block the camp if the enemy rushed on horseback, which was to respond to the enemy's speed with firmness. If the enemy pushes the cart and follows the archers, then let the cavalry rush up and cut down, which is to respond to the enemy's slowness with speed. Unless the Jurchens had a fast and sturdy offensive device, which of course didn't exist yet.

Who knew that although the Jurchens did not have anything that was both fast and strong, they sent both chariots and archers and cavalry, which was not very easy to do, since they could not be tricked, there was no way but to fight with strength. Seeing the Jurchens rushing over the cart like crazy with the cannonballs and arrows fired from the head of Ningyuan City, the soldiers of the car battalion also pushed the cart and crashed over, and the strength of the soldiers on both sides used their respective cars to collide together, and nearly half of the cars were damaged on the spot, and the sand and snow raised covered the sight of the soldiers on both sides.

The two sides pushed the cart, you advance and I retreat from each other, aiming at the cold is an arrow, and the spear that was stabbed obliquely too close was stabbed to the ground, because the people on both sides were glued together, so the cannons and bows and arrows on Ningyuan City were not released, and the people in the city only stared and watched. Seeing that the two sides could not cut and shoot through the car, the Jurchen cavalry that followed closely behind was in a hurry, and shouted loudly for the soldiers pushing the cart to give way to them, so that they could ride over and cut people.

Originally, everyone was wrestling through the big cart, and if you didn't let me, I wouldn't let you dare to relax, and everyone reacted when they heard the cavalry's shout. The Jurchen cart driver was ready to let the cavalry pass, and the Ming army also remembered that there were spears in the cart that were specially designed to deal with cavalry, so the Jurchen cavalry was just about to pass through the gap given by the cart drivers, and they ushered in a whirring rain of throwing guns. Because the throwing gun is heavier than the arrow and the distance is close, the Jurchen cavalry in front of the ** is upright, and immediately fell a few, the Ming army saw that the throwing gun had an effect, everyone took out the throwing gun from the cart and threw it at the enemy.

Originally, the strength of the cavalry was to accelerate and rush through from a distance, but now the distance is close and the speed cannot be increased, and the shortcomings of the large target of men and horses are exposed. For a time, the corpses of men and horses were scattered all over the place, and the carts that were broken down in one place were tightly blocked up the one-mile-wide road. Seeing this, Huang Daozhou hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the Che battalion to retreat, so as not to be shot by bows and arrows in the same place.

Seeing that the Ming army retreated, the Jurchens were preparing to move the obstacles away, at this time the cannons at the head of Ningyuan City rang out, and it was estimated that the cannons at the head of the city wall of the South Gate were also pushed over, and the firing density increased significantly, countless shells smashed on the ground and rebounded in different directions according to the angle of the ground, the Jurchen soldiers broke their hands and feet, and the dead and wounded were not counted, the yellow flesh with skin and red blood and the colorful intestines could be seen everywhere on the white snow.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Ao Bai knew that he could no longer send him to death, so he had to lead his troops around the city and return to the northeast corner of Ningyuan City to join Dai Shan, and lost about 1,000 people in this battle.

After hearing about the battle of Aobai, Dai Shan did not blame him, because he had gone from there yesterday to inspect and knew that the terrain there was like this. Dai Shan asked Ao Bai to divide 10,000 people to him, and then asked Ao Bai to lead the remaining 8,000 people to guard behind, and he took 40,000 people to slowly move over the northeast corner of the city.

Behind the northeast corner of Yuezi Pass is Ningyuan Pass, if you can't hold the northeast corner, then Ningyuan Pass will be attacked before and after, once the pass is broken, the consequences are unimaginable. Ni Yuanlu's two hundred brocade guards were stationed at the head of the ten Guancheng in the northeast corner, in order to prevent Ni Yuanlu from sending 4,000 cavalry to the northeast corner, fortunately, the characteristics of the Yuezi Guancheng are that it is convenient to transfer troops in all directions, Huang Daozhou ordered the 3,000 cavalry in the west to also converge in the northeast corner, and the 7,000 cavalry as the last protective force, and selected 5,000 arrows from the 10,000 archers to be accurately transferred to the east city wall for emergency.

The two sides adjusted their formations, and with Dai Shan's order, about seven or eight hundred soldiers rushed forward with carts, followed by a group of archers, and then a large group of cavalry. The purpose of Dai Shan is to use the car to block the arrows shot by the Ming army below the head of the city, and the archers on their own side continue to throw at the head of the city wall, and everyone puts down their weapons and picks up the hoe at the foot of the wall, of course, they are not going to surrender to farming, but to dig the corner of the wall. As for the cavalry behind, it was the escort to prevent the Ming army from sending people out to make trouble.
