In the reward released by Nurhachi outside Ningyuan City, the meaning of not sealing the knife is - slaughtering the city!

If the knife is not sealed without a specified time limit, it is to completely erase Ningyuan City.

Thinking that as long as he broke through Ning Yuan, he would be able to do whatever he wanted, and the Houjin generals suddenly had a great increase in desire and wildness, and their faces were full of endless blood.

Even if it is a real fortified city like Liaoyang and Shengjing, Dajin can easily capture it.

How could this little Ning Yuan resist Dajin's hundred battle heroes.

After returning to the camp, as the Houjin generals spread Nurhachi's proclamation, the emotions of the Houjin Eight Banners erupted like a volcano.

The faces of the soldiers of the Eight Banners all showed an unconcealable wildness, and their eyes looked at Ningyuan City under the sunset like tigers and wolves and evil ghosts.

In the hearts of the Eight Banners, Ning Yuan City only had this last sunset to watch.

Tomorrow Ningyuan will be destroyed.

early morning

The whining horns resounded in the sky, and the Houjin Eight Banners walked out of the camp one after another, slowly converging into a big river like a stream.

Nurhachi, who was in high spirits, saw that the old pawns of the Eight Banners had been gathered.

With a flick of the horse's reins, Nurhachi urged the war horse to march forward along the Eight Banners battle array.

Nurhachi roared loudly as he rode his horse:

"The first to ascend, the promotion is true, and the reward is a hundred slaves.

Those who enter the city first will be picked.

Break Ning Yuan, don't seal the knife. ”

In the fierce cold wind, Nurhachi's roar was heard far, far away.

Afraid that the soldiers of the Eight Banners would not hear clearly, the guards who followed Nurhachi kept repeating Nurhachi's roar loudly.

Hearing Nurhachi's promise with his own ears, the morale of the soldiers of the Eight Banners was greatly shaken.

All the soldiers in the battle formation who heard Nurhachi's roar also shouted loudly.

The roar of "Break Ningyuan, don't seal the sword", along with Nurhachi's horse's hooves, spread throughout the entire Eight Banners array, resounding throughout the four fields of heaven and earth.

The Ming army at the head of Ningyuan City, as well as the soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan who were awakened by the Eight Banners, were shocked by the roar of the Eight Banners like a landslide and tsunami.

In the roar, Yuan Chonghuan's thin black face showed a mocking smile.

The old slave is really cooperative!

It is estimated that there should be no more lucky people in Ningyuan now, right?

This is the opponent's assist, which is the real god assist!

Fast horses patrol for a week, Nurhachi pulled the reins, and pulled the galloping war horse out of a hoof posture, the horse whip in Nurhachi's hand pointed directly at Ning Yuan, and gave the final attack order in his mouth:

"Attack!"

With Nurhachi's shouting order, a team of soldiers in the Houjin Eight Banners took the lead and went straight to Ningyuan.

In the face of Jiancheng, the soldiers snatched out by Houjin did not move forward empty-handed, they were in groups of several people, each pushing a shield cart, and slowly approached Ningyuan.

At the head of Ningyuan City, seeing that Houjin had really launched a siege formation, Yuan Chonghuan smiled coldly:

"General Man, you can let it go. Let Ben Dao see your true martial arts! ”

"Yes."

Man Gui, who had long been suffocating his whole body, promised loudly.

Man Gui turned around and waved the order flag in his hand, and shouted: "Fire!" ”

Boom, boom, boom.

A loud sound like the sky cracking and the earth cracked continuously, suppressing the shouts of the Eight Banners soldiers far away.

With a loud bang, huge cannonballs flew towards Houjin's shield cart with a terrifying scream.

Houjin's special shield car, in front of the 16-pound shell of the red-coated cannon, is not much better than a piece of paper.

Houjin, a shield car made of hardwood, is actually worse than paper.

The shield cart hit by the cannonball instantly turned into a large amount of wooden shrapnel, breaking the head of the Eight Banners soldiers around the shield cart and bleeding blood.

For the first time, the red-clothed cannon showed its true power in front of the Eight Banners.

The kind of tremendous power that completely exceeds the limits of Houjin's defenses.

Seeing the power of the red-coated cannon against the shield car, Nurhachi couldn't help but shake his head.

The shield car is a gadget made by Huang Taiji, and it is actually aimed at the Ming Dynasty's bird gun.

In the past confrontations between Houjin and Daming, Daming Bird Gun still had a great threat to the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

The effective range of the Houjin Archer is actually not much different from that of the Great Ming Bird Gun.

In the direct shooting of the two sides, once the Houjin heavy armor could not be protected, the losses of the Houjin archers were still quite large.

What scared the soldiers of the Eight Banners even more was that the projectile of the Daming Bird was poisonous.

Any archer who is struck by a bird's hammer will be disabled for life even if they can save their lives, and it will be difficult for them to go back to the field.

In order to improve the protection of the archers in the confrontation with the Daming Bird Gun, Huang Taiji came up with the shield chariot as a defensive tool.

According to Huang Taiji's idea, the shield cart replaced the Houjin heavy armor to provide a tight defense for the archers, and the archers only hid behind the shield cart and used the rain of arrows to shoot at the Great Ming Bird.

The shield car is aimed at the weakness of the Great Ming Bird Gun that can only shoot directly and cannot be curved.

It's a pity that this shield cart appeared on the battlefield for the first time, facing a weapon that it simply can't compete with - the redcoat cannon.

The shield car, which can defend against the 30-step direct fire of the Ming Bird Gun, is really not as good as an ordinary blank piece of paper when facing the shells of the red-coated cannon.

Blank paper doesn't cause a secondary kill at the very least.

However, although the red-coated cannon is powerful, it is still too few after all.

In the face of Houjin, even if the Ming army transferred the red-coated cannons of other forts to the two forts facing Xicheng overnight, they could only concentrate 8 red-coated cannons.

In the face of the thousands of attacking Houjin Tartars, the cannonballs fired by the 8 red-coated cannons, although they were powerful enough, were a little too few.

Not to mention, the really anxious reloading speed of the redcoat cannon weakened the deterrent power of the redcoat cannon.

In broad daylight, although the power of the red-coated cannon was strong, and although the shield cart hit by the cannonball was extremely miserable, the low hit rate still could not stop the surging Houjin Tartars.

In fact, the soldiers of the Eight Banners who launched the first wave of attacks were really not Jurchens.

These soldiers were authentic and pure Han Chinese, but they were all pathetic nikans (Han Chinese slaves).

After Nurhachi occupied a large amount of territory in Liaodong, he found that the number of Jurchens was really not enough to control such a large territory.

In order to increase the number of soldiers of the Eight Banners, Nurhachi deliberately transferred strong men from Nikan.

Nurhachi incorporated these Nikans into the Eight Banners and served as vassals of the Eight Banners as military slaves.

These Han slave soldiers in the Eight Banners did more tiring work than regular soldiers (in addition to fighting, they also had to bear all kinds of military labor), but they ate the worst diet.

In the Eight Banners Army, if you are not careful, the Han slave soldiers will die.

A real Jurchen warrior, killing a Nikan, as long as you find a random reason, you can be exempt from punishment.

No way, who called the Han people the lowest Nikan.

Although the treatment was extremely poor, the Han slave soldiers did not dare to resist in the slightest.

Because all the families of the Han slave soldiers were scattered by Nurhachi and arranged to various Jurchen strongholds.

Who dares to resist this?

For this method of hostage-taking, Nurhachi also called it a beautiful name: This is the trust of Nikan in the army.

It's really a lot of trust!
