In the dark night, the cannonballs with a sharp whistling sound fell heavily into the Houjin camp.

The huge momentum caused the cannonballs to shred everything they encountered along the way.

In October, the frozen ground in eastern Liaodong has become the best accomplice of the cannonballs.

The cannonball that landed on the ground could still bounce and hurt people again until all the kinetic energy was completely exhausted, and the cannonball was embedded in an object and did not move again.

The screams rang out in the Houjin camp.

Countless soldiers were awakened by the sound of shelling and screams.

Was it a night attack by the Ming army?

Nurhachi's proud Houjin Eight Banners really lived up to his high expectations.

In the face of the unknown enemy in the dark night, even though the injured companions were still screaming miserably, the soldiers of the Eight Banners who had just woken up did not cause much panic.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners clenched their weapons and gathered together according to the tents to which they belonged.

They are ready to strike back at the night attackers and tear apart the night raiders who disturb their sleep.

It's just that in the dark night, where is the enemy?

The soldiers of the Eight Banners were at a loss!

At the head of Ningyuan City, well-trained gunners are methodically preparing for the second wave of shelling.

The gunners first pushed the cannon back into place after firing.

Observe whether the elevation angle of the gun body has changed significantly?

As long as the elevation angle remains the same, it is reloaded and fired.

Faced with such a huge target as the Houjin battalion, the gunners did not need to make more precise corrections. They just need to shoot the shells as fast as they can.

Anyway, Yuan Chonghuan didn't have any precise requirements for shooting targets.

Yuan Chonghuan only needed shells to penetrate the Houjin camp.

The black light is blind, as long as the shells can fall to the Houjin camp, who is killed is not a hit!

Thanks to the efforts of the gunners, the second round of shelling also began quickly.

The red-coated cannon shells, with the howl of death, came to Houjin Camp again.

In the face of the roaring cannonballs, the soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were waiting for the battle, once again let out a series of miserable screams.

There is no way, no matter how brave the warrior is, he will not be able to withstand the bombardment of shells.

In the darkness, you can't see the incoming enemy, and you can't see the weapons used by the enemy.

All I could hear was the screams of my companions.

In this strange situation, Rao is a veteran of the Eight Banners who has experienced a hundred battles, and he is also a little unable to hold his footing.

At the end of the second round of shelling, a somewhat dazed Nurhachi finally understood what had happened.

He turned out to be attacked by the artillery of the Ming army.

In his early years, in Li Chengliang's army, Nurhachi also saw the power of the Ming army's artillery.

The power of the heavens and the earth is by no means something that the human body can resist.

As a teenager, Nurhachi once revered the cannon like an artifact.

Later, having gradually become familiar with the situation of the cannon, Nurhachi no longer feared the cannon, and he found the weakness of the cannon.

Although the cannon is powerful, it is bulky and difficult to carry.

The speed at which the cannon was fired from the frame to the firing was even slower.

Even when the cannon is fully erected, the cannon reload is just as cumbersome and slow.

In the field, the artillery of the Ming army was fired at most once, and their cavalry of the Eight Banners could rush to the cannon and easily knock it to the ground.

Artillery is not a field weapon.

Ning Yuanming's army relied on artillery to defend the city, and it was not surprising that Nurhachi.

Artillery was originally a weapon for defense, and the Ming army had a tradition of using artillery to defend the city.

Like Shenyang and Liaoyang, there are cannons arranged by the Ming army.

But his camp, which was 3 miles away from the city, would also be attacked by the artillery of the Ming army, which Nurhachi could not have imagined at all.

When will the artillery of the Ming army be able to hit so far?

Nurhachi was well aware of the range of the Ming army's artillery.

The firing range of the Ming army's artillery is not at all a few miles, more than a dozen miles, and dozens of miles that the Ming literati boast.

The artillery of the Ming army that Nurhachi had seen in the past could hit 7 or 800 steps at the farthest.

Generally, when it reaches more than 700 steps, the cannonballs of the cannon are afraid that even a rabbit will not be killed.

But the screams from the camp made Nurhachi a little confused.

In the dark, the artillery of the Ming army should have been fired from the head of Ningyuan City.

At such a distance, the shell still has such a great lethality, which is far beyond the power of the cannon in Nurhachi's impression.

"Order, the whole army withdrew to the rear camp for repair."

After listening for a moment, and realizing that there was no Ming army ambush around, Nurhachi let out a loud roar.

Can't stay here any longer.

In the dark, the light is beaten, and the opponent who attacks cannot be found. After a long time, even a veteran will completely collapse.

You have to get out of this dangerous place first.

Although the camp was moved in the dark, the danger was great. But compared to the danger of the collapse of the whole army, Nurhachi preferred to move the camp.

Nurhachi believed that the veterans of the Eight Banners under his command could still move a battalion in the dark without being attacked by the enemy.

In order to prevent uncontrollable chaos, Nurhachi sent almost all of his guards.

Lighting torches.

Gather.

In the camp, the officers of the Eight Banners at all levels began to roar loudly.

With the roar, countless torches were raised high.

In the light of the fire, the brightly armored Nurha Red Guard stood in the most conspicuous place.

Seeing the appearance of these elite White Fang soldiers, the military spirit of the Eight Banners soldiers stabilized a lot.

According to Nurhachi's order, the Eight Banners soldiers gave up their baggage, only brought their weapons, and retreated to the rear camp in an orderly manner.

The artillery bombardment of the Ming army continued, but the panic caused by the Eight Banners had been greatly reduced.

Seeing the bright light of the fire and a clear way to deal with it, the casualties directly caused by the shelling could not shake the minds of the veterans of the Eight Banners.

After all, compared with the tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, the number of soldiers killed and wounded by artillery shelling is only a small number.

Looking at the Houjin camp shining brightly, Man Gui, who guessed that Houjin was moving the camp, was full of disappointment that could not be concealed.

If you can be able to rush into battle with elite soldiers when Houjin is bombarded, you should be able to mess up Houjin.

Even if Houjin can't be completely defeated, it can still make Houjin lose a lot.

A sortie, at least for Ning Yuan's next defense of the city, will definitely be of considerable benefit.

Man Gui only needs to bring 2,000 elite soldiers from his headquarters, or even only 1,000 people who dare to die!

It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan still didn't agree to Man Gui's request for this sortie.

looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who was smiling in the compliments of the officials, and sighed heavily in his heart.

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

Yuan Chonghuan had already seen Man Gui's disappointed expression, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

Man Gui, a rude man, although he has strong martial arts and strong fighting spirit, his mind is still not enough!

Can this official not know the benefits and importance of taking advantage of the situation?

Even if it is beneficial to take advantage of the situation to attack, he Yuan Chonghuan can't take that risk.

There were only more than 10,000 trained defenders in Ningyuan City.

Attacking the Houjin battalion, which had tens of thousands of troops, in Yuan Chonghuan's view, it would take at least a few thousand people to be sent in order to have certain results.

If the attack fails and the attacking troops are lost, what will Yuan Chonghuan do to defend Ning Yuan?

1,000 people, what can they do?

Rather than losing in vain, it is better to keep a few more soldiers who can be used.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Chonghuan didn't believe that Man Gui's attack could defeat Houjin Eight Banners.

In Yuan Chonghuan's view, the only way to stick to Ningyuan is to stick to it.

Defend first and then fight, of course, you have to defend first.

War?

Then it's okay to harass and harass on the periphery.
