Chapter 247: Everyone is equal (ask for subscriptions, recommendations, favorites)

The Nikans, who had allowed the trenches to fill in, withdrew on their own.

Nurhachi's eyes contracted and condensed unconsciously, he stared at the head of Ningyuan City, and waved his hand heavily.

Between the banners and exhibitions, the troops with white flags came out of the queue and slowly walked towards Ningyuan City.

These Eight Banners with white flags are not as rudimentary as the equipment of the Nikans, and they are all in armor. Even their shield chariots were much heavier than those used by Nikan.

Perhaps drawing on the experience of Nikan's impact, there were several thick quilts on the car with a white flag. They may have tried to defend themselves against projectiles and lead falling from the air with their quilts.

With the inlaid white flag as the backbone, the newly replaced Nikan carried the cloud ladder and rushed to Ningyuan again with the real Eight Banners soldiers.

In the roar of artillery, looking at the shield cart that was shattered by the cannonballs next to him, Tong Yangxing's brows furrowed.

Tong Yangxing doesn't like this feeling of being involuntarily killed.

The shield cart inlaid with white flags and materials encountered the shells of the red-coated cannons, but it still had no defensive effect.

As long as it is hit, the shield cart will still be smashed into flying splinters.

However, the quilt added to the shield cart has a good effect on blocking these flying fragments.

Fortunately, there are not many red-coated cannons in the Ming army!

Tong Yangxing thought worriedly.

In front of the red-clothed cannons, no matter whether there are noble officers, they are completely equal to Nikan, who is the lowest.

In the face of the red-coated cannon, they all need to gamble on their character, and the bet is not to be hit by the red-coated cannon.

If they don't have enough character and are really hit by the red-clothed cannon, then no shield cart or heavy armor can save their lives.

In the hoarse shouts of the soldiers with white flags, the soldiers of the Eight Banners rushed through the trench for the first time and came to the city of Ningyuan.

Visually measuring the distance, Man Gui waved down the order flag in his hand again.

Bang bang

Under the city of Ningyuan, blood suddenly flowed into a river.

In the distance, the corners of Nurhachi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Even if he had expected it, seeing this scene, Nurhachi couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Sure enough, the firepower of Ning Yuanming's army was very complete.

At the farthest is the red-coated cannon, and at the trench is the big Buddha cannon. After the trench, there were also small and medium-sized franc cannons. Even to the root of Ningyuan City, Daming was also equipped with a tiger squat cannon.

These large and small artillery, under the control of Ning Yuan's gunners, exerted great lethality.

Nikan in Tsing Yi and a soldier with a white flag in leather armor were instantly knocked down under Ningyuan City. The blood instantly stained the roots of Ningyuan City.

Seeing that the front was instantly emptied, Tong Yangxing's heart suddenly jumped a few times.

It's a fluke, it's a fluke.

Fortunately, the shield cart with white flags and the new quilt on the cart were added.

It was the shield cart and the quilt that intercepted the cannons of the little Franc machine and the tiger squat cannon.

"Archer Attack!" Tong Yang yelled loudly with a hoarse voice.

Without waiting for the sound of the horn around him, Tong Yangxing took the lead in flashing out from behind the shield cart, and fired a bow and arrow to shoot a counterattack at the head of Ningyuan City.

With the shouts of Tong Yangxing, the soldiers with white flags began to release arrows one after another, and the strong bow and heavy arrows that Houjin used to use instantly hit the city.

The screams of the Ming army also began to sound at the head of the city.

However, the rain of arrows shot by the soldiers with white flags did not deal much damage to Ning Yuanming's army. The various defensive structures at the head of Ningyuan City played their due power.

In the rain of arrows, only a handful of arrows penetrated the city's defenses, causing a small amount of damage to the Ming army.

Glancing at the casualties of the Ming army at the head of the city, Man Gui was greatly satisfied.

The armor all over the city was not in vain, and the casualties of the Ming army were pitiful.

Seeing that the golden archers had begun to counterattack, the banner of the Mangui Order was waved, and the musketeers of the Ming army at the head of the city also began to join the attack on the enemy.

Ningyuan's offense and defense have entered a new stage.

Bows and arrows rained down on the head of Ningyuan City.

In a short period of time, the head of Ningyuan City was like a field after autumn, nailed with a field like white flowers and thatched arrows.

Unfortunately, such a rain of arrows did not deal an effective blow to the Ming army.

With the Ming army's bird gunners joining the shooting, the defensive firepower of the Ming army's city head has been upgraded by a whole notch.

The Houjin archers were firmly suppressed by the Ming army.

"."

Tong Yangxing hid behind the shield cart and slowly moved his right arm.

Luckily, it didn't hurt the bones.

Tong Yangxing's right arm was shot by the Ming army just now.

Fortunately, the distance was far away, and the heavy armor on Tong Yangxing's body effectively protected the bullets of the bird, so he could be safe and sound.

Seeing that the firepower of Ningyuan City's head did not decrease but increased, Tong Yangxing's brows furrowed more and more.

It's not good!

In the past, the rain of arrows that had been tried and tested against the Ming army was completely ineffective this time.

Then Jin's powerful archers were suppressed by the Ming army for the first time. This made Tong Yangxing feel very worried.

Unexpectedly, even greater bad news came immediately.

"What do you say? The ladder isn't high enough? ”

Tong Yangxing couldn't believe his ears.

It's easy to rush to the bottom of Ningyuan City, it's easy to shoot at the head of Ningyuan City, and it's easy to cover the cloud ladder erected at the root of Ningyuan City, you actually told me that the ladder is not high enough!

Fuck, the ladder isn't high enough, and we're going to attack a shit city.

Let's climb halfway up the city wall and look for death?

Looking at the soldiers under the command who were struggling to fight in the artillery fire of the Ming army, Tong Yang stomped his feet with hatred and shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw first." ”

The horn of retreat sounded sharply, and the Eight Banners soldiers who were struggling under Ningyuan City quickly retreated like the sea water at low tide.

Seeing that the inlaid white flag was withdrawn on its own, the corners of Nurha's red mouth moved slightly.

In the end, however, Nurhachi did not speak.

Tong Yangxing, who led the siege of the city with a white flag, can be regarded as his son-in-law of Nurhachi. Nurhachi knows Tong Yang very well, and he is a very smart general in battle.

Tong Yang is not a greedy breed who is afraid of death.

Since it was Tong Yang who arranged the retreat before the formation, there must be some problem that he couldn't solve.

Sure enough, a fast horse ran over quickly, and it was Tong Yang who withdrew his troops without authorization.

"Great Khan", Tong Yang didn't wait for the war horse to stop, so he threw off the saddle and dismounted.

"Great Khan, this battle can't be fought."

Tong Yangxing knelt on one knee and complained in a low voice.

"How?"

Nurhachi asked softly as well.

"Great Khan, the ladder we prepared is not high enough, and it can't reach the head of Ningyuan's city at all. No matter how brave the sons are, they can't fly up! Tong Yang complained in a low voice.

The ladder isn't high enough?

The corners of Nurhachi's mouth twitched rapidly.

Such a low-level mistake, how could Dajin Baqi make it, and how dare to make it?

Seeing Nurhachi's expression, Tong Yangxing knew that Old Khan was already extremely angry.

"Great Khan, now is not the time to go on a grand trackdown, what should we do now?" Tong Yangxing interjected first.

Asked by Tong Yangxing, Nurhachi slowly suppressed his anger.

Looking at the sky, Nurhachi thought for a moment and gave a loud order: "The whole army will rest for an hour and eat." ”

Turning his head, Nurhachi whispered to one of the guards beside him: "You go and cut down the master of the craftsman's camp on the spot."

Let the craftsman camp tie up the ladder immediately, and be sure to connect the height of the ladder enough. An hour later, there was no ladder high enough, and all the craftsmen cut it down. ”

Daikin would make such a low-level mistake, and Nurhachi was furious.
