But it is said that on the Jinzhou side, since Mao Wenlong retreated from the city and defended the sea, a balance has been formed between him and Amin, the bird gun on the head of Jinzhou City can not prevent the Jurchens from taking a step beyond the thunder pool, and the Jurchens' stubborn spirit also restricts the Ming army's freedom to go out of the city Super Creature Empire. The latest chapter of this book was first published in Shuhe, and after a long time, both sides also had varying degrees of contempt for the enemy, the Jurchens despised the Ming army for not daring to go out of the city, and the Ming army despised the Jurchens for not having the previous style of rushing up without fear of death and injury. Of course, after despising each other for a long time, they slowly developed some admiration, not for anything else, but only for each other's tenacity.

The fighting in the past two months has killed and wounded many people on both sides, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army was originally about 50,000 people, and only less than 20,000 remained, and Amin's blue flag was almost disabled, just like two scarred beasts fighting each other, although they both roared and did not move, they did not show timidity The latest chapter of the rebirth of the political road.

When the rumbling cannon sound sounded at the head of Jinzhou City, Mao Wenlong knew that the other party's reinforcements had arrived, not only new people but also new weapons. Hou Sui's promise was still in his ears, but the fleet that he said would be used to transfer the army was nowhere to be found, and Mao Wenlong had to consider a realistic question, that is, to retreat and transfer or continue to hide behind the city wall to resist the smash.

Li Yongfang didn't give Mao Wenlong time to think about it, and began to fire at the city regularly every day, the imitation of the general's cannon also had a long range and great power, and the iron lump smashed into the house was a big hole, and when it hit the person, it was flesh and bones cracked on the spot, which made the Ming army very depressed. In the past, the Ming army especially liked to defend the city, and it was an advantage for the enemy to be in a high place and a low place, and a fire, a scoop of water, a stone and a brick could hurt people. The artillery of the Ming army is even more famous for its long range and great power, you can hit others but others can't hit you, which is in line with the essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Now the feng shui turns into the Jurchens relying on their cannons with a long range and constantly firing cannons, what Franc machine on the side of the Ming army is not enough range is only dry staring, fortunately, the Jurchen shells are still only dry smashing can not bloom and explode to hurt people, the Ming army can still resist and bear the ‖ two consecutive days was smashed by cannonballs, smashed Mao Wenlong and smashed sober, he decided to just like this with the Jurchens to consume and talk about whether to withdraw or not, one is that there is no place to go now, the surrounding sea can not be withdrawn, the only exit is blocked by the Jurchens in order to break through is very difficult, The second is that he found that the Jurchens didn't seem to be very good at using cannons.

Cannons are not as accurate as birds, and they can dodge left and right when they see the cannonballs coming at them, so it is best to fire a group of cannons together, and smash them with overwhelming momentum to make people unable to dodge. The latest chapter of this book debuted from the Shuhe Jurchens attacking Jinzhou, and it seems that there are about a dozen cannons, but they are all put into their own ways without covering the effect, Mao Wenlong decided to resist for two more days to see if he could take the time to go out and slash the gunners, but unfortunately the Jurchens are more clever and tightly protected.

Hou Sui did not disappoint Mao Wenlong for long, on the fifteenth day of the first month, he led the fleet to the edge of Jinzhou, this year the weather is not very cold, the seaside ice area is not very wide, Hou Sui first let four serial ships equipped with general cannons run together, smashed out a passage out, and then entered the city under Mao Wenlong's enthusiastic response.

After entering the city, he saw the dilapidated houses and the disabled soldiers, and Hou Sui said to Mao Wenlong: "Mao Shuai has worked hard to read the full text of the roaring priest of the online game!" ”

Mao Wenlong saw that Hou Sui only brought a few dozen people and came in, so he looked left and right to see if there were no more, so he asked, "Lord Hou still didn't bring reinforcements this time?" That is, to take all the people here? ”

Hou Sui shook his head and said, "There are no reinforcements coming to Jinzhou, and there are no big ships, only these four chain boats, at most some of the wounded soldiers will be transported away." ”

When he arrived at Mao Wenlong's camp, Hou Sui saw that Mao Wenlong was slightly disappointed, so he said: "I have transferred thousands of people from Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places, and those people are reluctant to defend according to the danger, but they can't fight like you like these tiger and wolf divisions, I asked them to dig a ditch and build a fortress in Nanguan, and Mao Shuai will all withdraw to Nanguan within two days." There will be people coming in two days, but they are all similar to them, the main force guarding Nanguan still has to be Mao Shuai, you come, those people are all soldiers added to you, you have to train well in the future. ”

Mao Wenlong saw Hou Sui praising his subordinates for being the division of tigers and wolves, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, and said in his heart that only my Dongjiang army and the Jurchens fought bloodiwarmly for so long, and people in other places heard that they didn't fight much, and I Dongjiang Army should not let the division of tigers and wolves. Later, when he heard Hou Sui ask him to withdraw to Nanguan, Mao Wenlong was relieved at that time, and his heart could finally be relieved, but he didn't show a happy look for fear of being looked down upon by Hou Sui, so he thought for a while and then said: "It's good to stay here in Jinzhou's location, and it's not so convenient to go out in the future if Nanguan is farther away." ”

Hou Sui said: "After careful consideration, it is convenient for us to enter and exit Jinzhou to hold the important points, but the enemy can attack from several directions, and it is also very convenient for the follow-up troops to be replenished when the enemy attacks, which is not conducive to simple and effective defense. Nanguan is also located in the throat and there are slopes to lean on, more convenient than Jinzhou to defend and defend easily, Jinzhou to Nanguan more than 20 miles of terrain is very narrow, we are not convenient to go out, the enemy is not convenient to enter, you will take the place within Nanguan as your Phi Island. ”

As soon as Mao Wenlong heard it, he understood that the imperial court wanted him to take root after Nanguan in the future, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Nanguan to Lushun is nearly 100 miles, far from a small Phi Island a few miles wide can be compared, not to mention that it is not far from Dengzhou and Laizhou, and there is no worry about the supply of weapons, ammunition, food, etc. Mao Wenlong thought for a while and asked: "I'm afraid it's not easy to evacuate everyone safely, can Lord Hou use your boat to cut off the queen for us, and try to walk by the sea when we evacuate." ”

Hou Sui shook his head and said: "How to evacuate safely, you can figure out your own way, don't rely on me, I only have a total of four ships that can't help much, at most I can help you take the wounded soldiers away from Shennong's demonic life." Let's do what we say, you will now ask someone to carry the wounded soldiers onto the ship for the doctor to treat, to be honest, you are not safe here, I am afraid of death, I will go back to the ship tonight to sleep, and when you are gone, I will sail again, and try to fire a few shots to block the enemy halfway. ”

Mao Wenlong was a smart man, and when he saw that Hou Sui had said this, it was not good to make any more demands, so he immediately ordered someone to carry the wounded to four serial boats, and at the same time he secretly asked a cronie to ride a horse to the Jurchen camp wall and shoot a challenge. He told Amin in the challenge book that reinforcements and artillery came from his side, and expressed contempt for Amin's bullying of the Ming army with cannons a few days ago. Mao Wenlong said that now both sides have artillery, and they can choose a day for an artillery battle, or use artillery to cut cavalry, to see who is the real hero, of course, if Amin does not dare to fight, he can also be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Amin was furious when he saw this, and immediately asked someone to shoot a reply, explaining that the army used artillery at the earliest, and if Mao Wenlong dared to use both large and small cannons, he was willing to accompany him in a cavalry battle two days later, and the location was in the open space east of Jinzhou to avoid gunboats from participating in the battle. Li Yongfang saw that Amin was angry, but he didn't speak at the time, and waited for Amin to call someone to deliver the letter before saying his own, he said that Mao Wenlong hadn't mentioned cavalry battles for so long, and now he suddenly mentioned this, will there be a problem? His Ming army wanted to be in exile for a while, and then took the opportunity to get on the boat and escape.

Amin is not a simple-minded person, he said that even if the four ships were all used to carry 2,000 people, plus there were cannons and iron armor on them, it was estimated that they would not be able to carry 1,000 people. Amin asked Li Yongfang to pay attention to the four ships, once he found that the four ships had left, it meant that the Ming army was transporting people to escape, and the escape was not many people left, which was suitable for him to attack. Li Yongfang and Amin both thought that Mao Wenlong would escape, but they only thought that the Ming army would get on the boat and run away without thinking that the Ming army would retreat to the southwest.

The next day, there were still four boats on the sea west of Jinzhou City, and the coldest time had passed, and many of the ice on the beach had begun to melt into fragments of ice floe, rising and falling with the slowly surging water. The ice and soil walls of the Ming army also began to melt loosely, but the low protective wall under the city wall was still strong and sturdy, and the Jurchen soldiers also saw many Ming troops go out of the city to strengthen the protective wall in front of them, and it seems that the Ming army has no signs of escape.

Early on the morning of the third day, while Amin was asleep, he heard the noise outside the tent, and he scolded impatiently: "Who is making noise outside and disturbing my sleep?" I don't know if today is the day to make an appointment for a decisive battle with the Ming army? If I didn't sleep well and cut a few less Ming troops today, I'll use your heads to count the latest chapter of the Total War for the Rise of the Empire. ”

A pro-soldier walked in quickly and said, "Erbeile, General Li must come to see you, we said that we would fight today and let you sleep a little longer, but he refused." ”

Amin thought that Li Yongfang had always been cautious and could not be so reckless, so he asked his soldiers to serve and put on clothes while asking someone to invite Li Yongfang to come in and talk, Li Yongfang didn't care so much about coming in and said directly: "Erbeile is not good, Mao Wenlong escaped overnight, and now Jinzhou City is an empty city." ”

Amin frowned and asked, "Did you get on the boat and run?" Can those ships really hold that many people? Could it be that they invited a Taoist priest with high mana to pinch people down and pretend to leave? ”

Li Yongfang shook his head and said: "The boat is still on the beach and will open fire when it sees people, and the sentry said that Mao Wenlong is directly retreating to the southwest and may hold on to Nanguan." ”

Amin said contemptuously: "If I can attack Jinzhou, I can't attack Nanguan?" ”

Li Yongfang said: "I'm afraid it's really bad to attack Nanguan, I just met some rout soldiers from Liaoyang, they said that Liaoyang has been occupied by the Ming army, and Shenyang is also more auspicious, Erbeiler, what do you think?" ”

Amin thought for a while and said: "This is the Ming army's plan to lure the enemy, if the Ming army really attacks Shenyang, it will not attack Liaoyang first, if they want to say that they will take Shenyang in a short time, I absolutely don't believe it, my fourth brother Khan has made careful arrangements before leaving, and Shenyang is absolutely safe." The Ming army attacking Liaoyang wanted to contain me at most, otherwise Mao Wenlong would not retreat but would attack and drag me, and then attack back and forth. ”

Li Yongfang asked: "Then Mao Wenlong is chasing or not chasing here?" ”

Amin said: "There is no need, Nanguan is more dangerous than Jinzhou, it is difficult to attack, three years ago we died tens of thousands of people along the way, this is unlucky, or don't chase N Yang was breached, I have to go and see what I say, even if it is for show, I have to go, otherwise I will be asked why I can't save myself when I see death, and it is not good to speak." The Ming army has changed, we have to change, I will go to Liaoyang, you will hold Jinzhou to prevent Mao Wenlong from going and returning, the terrain in this area is so narrow that he can't get out if he gets in. ”
