It's dawn

The sound of artillery at the head of Ningyuan City intermittently sounded all night, and it completely stopped.

Heaven and earth seem to be extraordinarily silent.

The silence outside Ningyuan City didn't last long before it was shattered by the whining sound of bullhorns.

Houjin Daying was like a huge monster, once again spitting out a team of Eight Banners soldiers to the gate of the village.

Hearing the movement of the Houjin camp, Ning Yuanming's army also walked up to the city and began to wait for it.

As Daxu moved, Nurhachi appeared in front of the Houjin formation.

Nurha built a pergola with her bare hands and carefully watched the terrain in front of the battle.

When he saw that the trench in front of the fort on the left was still significantly lower than the ground, Nurha turned his head with a cold face and gave a few orders.

A fast horse flew away.

Not long after, 7 or 8 Eight Banner soldiers were escorted out of the array and directly killed in front of the formation. The people who were killed were all the soldiers of the Eight Banners who were in charge of supervising Nikan's ditch filling last night.

It wasn't Nikan who died this time, they were all genuine Eight Banners pawns.

If you can't complete the task, the Eight Banners will have to die!

In this way, Nurhachi is transmitting his unchangeable will.

That is, do whatever it takes to capture Ningyuan!

After killing the Eight Banners, Nurhachi didn't even bother to speak, he waved his hand, and the Nikan of the brigade came out again, shouting and rushing towards Ningyuan City.

The war has once again begun.

Seeing the Nikan army rushing to the city, the Ming army at the head of the city couldn't help but feel a little sad in their hearts.

After fighting for so long, Ning Yuanming's army can now clearly distinguish the difference between the Houjin Eight Banners.

Now these soldiers who are rushing to the city, looking at their clothing, can clearly distinguish that they do not belong to any of the eight banners of the Houjin.

They are actually the same as the Ming army at the head of Ningyuan City, they are also Han Chinese.

They were the Han people of Liaodong under the rule of the Later Jin.

It is the Han people of Liaodong who survived the Nurhachi massacre.

They are now known as Nikan, which means Han Chinese slaves.

These Nikans who rushed to the city were actually the military slaves of the Later Jin.

Now, Ning Yuanmingjun has seen with his own eyes what kind of treatment their compatriots enjoy in Houjin.

In short, it's cannon fodder, worthless cannon fodder.

In the past few days, Ning Yuanmingjun has seen it very clearly. Ningyuan's moat was almost filled with the corpse of Han Nu.

The Ming army didn't see the Tartars use the corpses of the Eight Banners to fill the trenches.

Nikan was not regarded as a human being by the Houjin Tartars.

In order not to be a slave, and not to fill the ditch.

The cannon in Ning Yuanming's hand let out an earth-shattering roar.

It's a pity that in the face of artillery, the first to bear the brunt is still the Houjin Nikan army, which is also a Han Chinese.

The Nikan army swarmed in, braving artillery fire to fill the remaining trenches and firing muskets at the head of Ningyuan City.

Seeing the two groups of Han people in the city and the city shooting desperately, the corners of Nurha's mouth trembled, revealing a disdainful smile.

Nurhachi never thought of relying on Nikan to take Ningyuan City. Nikan was nothing more than cannon fodder for him to consume Ningyuan's defense materials.

Nikan's use in Nurhachi's eyes is nothing more.

Looking at the terrain below the city again, and waving his hand, Nurha quickly flew out a few horses behind his bare back, and rushed towards the city at high speed.

The soldiers who rushed out were all whitefanged soldiers, and their riding skills were obviously very exquisite. Skillfully steering their horses, they quickly ran around the trenches that the Nikans had filled.

Seeing the White Fang soldier raise his hand, Nurhachi waved his hand, and the horn horn sounded.

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the Nikan army, which was still shooting at each other in front of the battle, suddenly seemed to be crazy, and rushed towards the city of Ningyuan regardless of the madness of life and death.

They had no regard for the firepower poured down from the city.

These pathetic Nikans, Nurhachi, were not even equipped with any protective gear, not even a padded jacket to protect them from the cold.

Rushing to the bottom of the city, Nikan, who was completely exposed to the fire of the city, was constantly knocked down by the tiger squat artillery of the Ming army.

The tiger squatting cannon, facing this armorless existence at close range, is the best weapon to harvest life.

After a few moments, the Ming army at the head of the city understood why the Nikan army had gone mad.

With the sound of the horn and the sound of the earth-shattering horses' hooves, the cavalry of the Houjin Brigade rushed straight towards Ningyuan City.

Rubbing his eyes again, Man Gui still couldn't believe his eyes.

Cavalry siege?

Is Nurhachi crazy?

However, it doesn't matter if the old slave is really crazy or not. Man Guidu found that this was definitely the best chance to strike at the Houjin cavalry.

Under the banner of the order, Man Gui's order was quickly conveyed.

In addition to leaving the tiger squat cannon to deal with the Nikan army at the root of the city, the rest of the firepower, even including the bird guns, was aimed at the route of the cavalry charge, turning the outside of the city into a rain of steel and fire.

However, the Houjin cavalry attack was launched very suddenly. In comparison, the reaction of the Ming army at the head of the city was obviously a little slow, and all kinds of artillery only swept the tail of the cavalry.

Seeing the cavalry of the Houjin Brigade rushing close to the city, Man Gui was very disappointed.

In the face of the sudden onslaught of the cavalry, Man Gui's reaction was a little excessive. He should have given the order a little later.

The cavalry could not rush to the head of the city.

No matter how fast the cavalry runs, it will definitely have to maneuver horizontally in the face of the fortified city.

If you wait for these cavalry to start running sideways before firing the cannon, you will definitely be able to take down more cavalry.

It's a pity, this is a great opportunity.

In Man Gui's regretful eyes, the cavalry near the city began to run sideways.

The cavalry began to fire arrows at the head of the city as they ran.

The cavalry fired barbed arrows with strings tied to their ends.

When the arrow is fired at the head of the city, each cavalry pulls the string and pulls the armor of the head with the help of horsepower.

Seeing this kind of scene, Man Gui regretted that he had given the order to fire too early.

What a good target for a cavalry that has obviously slowed down!

Just in Man Gui's remorse, the cannon suddenly rang out again.

Hearing the sound of the cannon, Man Gui was surprised for a while.

It turned out that several large Buddha cannons that had attacked the Nikan army in advance had just been installed, and they were just in time to be shot.

Don't look at the small number, but the damage caused by these big Buddha Lang machines to the Houjin cavalry is not at all less than the salvo of the Ming army in front.

Seeing that the artillery of the Ming army was fired again, Nurhachi hurriedly called back his elite cavalry.

Blatantly using cavalry, Nurhachi is actually betting on the psychology of the Ming army.

Nurhachi calculated that the Ming army would definitely revert to its old state in the face of the cavalry charge, and couldn't help but fire indiscriminately. As long as the Ming army opened fire indiscriminately, it would not cause excessive damage to the cavalry.

As a result, Nurhachi really won the bet.

It's just that Nurhachi didn't expect that Ning Yuanming's army would be able to hit a salvo that was not much different from the front and back. If it weren't for the misjudgment of the speed of the cavalry, the Houjin cavalry would have suffered heavy losses.

This volley of the Ming army frightened Nurhachi a lot.

In the brief impact of the Houjin cavalry, the number of cavalry knocked down by the Ming army's salvo had already made Nurhachi feel heartache.

When he saw that the artillery of the Ming army could be fired again, Nurhachi did not dare to gamble anymore.

In case the Ming army can organize another salvo in a short time, the losses that the cavalry will have to bear, Nurhachi can hardly accept.

However, Nurhachi's cavalry adventures did pay off.

The armor at the head of Ningyuan City was obviously damaged a lot under the barbed arrows of the cavalry.

The armor belt, which was originally a continuous line, had a large number of breakpoints and cracks.

The originally neat defensive line of the Ming army at the head of the city has also become a little uneven.

Looking at the uneven armor at the head of the city, Nurhachi sounded the clarion call for an all-out attack with satisfaction.
