The flag of the Ningyuan Chengjiao Fort waved in the distance.

Seeing the news delivered by the flag, Man Gui was overjoyed.

The Houjin Archers finally can't help but fight with us?

Man Gui couldn't help but take a few steps forward and personally observe the situation under the city.

Seeing the faint changes in personnel at the city tower, Tong Yangxing's heavy mood was a little lighter when he saw the water flowing at the head of the city, this was the opportunity he had been looking forward to for a long time.

The whistle sounded, and twenty or thirty strong bows quietly aimed at the tower.

Ningyuan City Tower

In the midst of the cracks, Man Gui glanced at the city, confirmed that the information transmitted by the fort was correct, and immediately gave a loud order.

"Attack the Golden Archers with all your might."

This is the best chance to kill the Houjin archers, as long as he can defeat the Houjin archers, Man Gui would rather let a few Houjin soldiers go to the city.

The flag was heard, and the artillery fire of the Ming army was clearly tilted towards the golden archers in the rear.

In the midst of the artillery fire, Tong Yang looked at Ningyuan City Tower in disappointment.

The generals of the Ming army were too careful and never showed their heads at all, leaving them no chance to snipe.

The sudden increase in artillery fire caused the Houjin archers to fall one after another.

Seeing that it was impossible to do anything, Tong Yang reluctantly issued a new instruction.

Later, the golden archers gave up shooting at the Ming army at the head of the city and hid back under the shield cart.

After hiding back in the shield car, Tong Yangxing had time to watch the situation at the city wall again.

There was still no good news for the soldiers of the Eight Banners at the city wall.

Even though the Houjin archers attracted a large amount of Ming artillery fire, the Houjin ladder could not support it.

When Tong Yangxing looked at the past, most of the ladders had been knocked down, and the remaining ladders were also in danger. The soldiers with white flags who participated in the attack also lost a lot.

Looking at the entire battlefield situation, Tong Yangxing shook his head helplessly again.

There is no way, it is impossible to capture Ningyuan by inlaying the white flag alone.

Ask for help!

The horn sounded slowly, and Nurhachi's mood also fell. He waved his hand irritably, motioning for the guards beside him to give orders.

With his temperament, he will not cry for help unless he has to.

Is this Ning Yuan really so difficult to fight?

The horn of the Houjin Formation sounded, and the Red Banner soldiers began to charge forward.

Under the command of Tong Yangxing, their shield carts began to disperse along the trench to both sides, making way for the later Zhenghong Banner to charge.

Seeing the swarming of the new Eight Banner soldiers on the city tower, Man Gui's face relaxed a lot.

Houjin took the lead in increasing troops, which already shows that Houjin's hope of breaking the city in one fell swoop has been completely shattered.

To be honest, the strength of Hou Jin's first wave of attacks was not very strong, and Man Gui did not feel too much pressure.

Relaxed Mangui, for the first time carefully observed all the siege facilities of Houjin.

In Houjin's camp, there were no heavy siege facilities at all.

The current Houjin Tartars, except for archers, have no other classes that can cause damage to the city.

This discovery made Man Gui's heart overjoyed.

Obviously, the power of the Houjin archers has been weakened to the extreme by the large amount of defensive equipment at the head of Ningyuan City.

Unable to destroy the defensive equipment at the head of the city, the Houjin Tartar almost fell to the point where they were beaten but could not hit people, which was exactly the same as what the Ming army encountered in the field.

The Ming army couldn't support it in the field, and the Houjin Tartars couldn't support it in this siege situation.

Although Houjin's reinforcements had already come up, Man Gui had already seen the dawn of victory.

As Man Gui expected, the soldiers who were charging up with the red flag, in addition to increasing the density of people under the city, were still unable to deal an effective blow to the head of Ningyuan City.

The more than a dozen new cloud ladders in Zhenghongqi also can't cause much trouble to Ningyuan City.

The increased density of personnel under the city did nothing except make the lethality of the Ming army's artillery fire greater.

With the passage of time, the Ming artillery, which had increased experience and confidence, became more and more accurate in the landing point of the shells.

On the fort, the artillery of the Ming army, which was becoming more and more confident, even began to gather at the root of the city, and even took the initiative to launch a flank attack with the big Buddha Lang machine gun.

This kind of flank attack from the fort is actually the best concept in Ningyuan's defense system.

According to the design of Ningyuan City, when the enemy entered the city root, he would have to accept flank attacks from the batteries on both sides.

The crossfire from the batteries on both sides was the most important means of striking the enemy at the base of the city.

Since the start of the war, the Ming army, lacking experience and confidence in the fort, was afraid that the artillery would damage the city wall of Ningyuan, and never gave full play to the concept of defense.

The battle was fought until this time, and the Ming army had the confidence to launch a flank attack on the Eight Banners gathered at the root of the city.

This kind of flanking from the battery, the effect is very obvious.

At this time, under the roots of Ningyuan City, Houjin had already gathered a large number of soldiers, and the shield vehicles they relied on for defense were mainly aimed at the front and above, and there was a serious lack of effective protection on the opposite side and behind.

As soon as the Ming army of the fort went down, the Eight Banners at the root of the city were instantly knocked down a large area.

What is that?

A sharp-eyed soldier on the fort found an obviously wrong color in the fallen Eight Banners soldiers.

There was something obvious about the color of the bricks at the base of the city.

In an instant, the Ming army understood what it was.

Dig the city!

Houjin Tartar is digging the city, and has succeeded in destroying the blue bricks at the base of the city.

Seeing the broken city bricks exposed after the fall of the Houjin Tartar, the Ming army on the fort exclaimed.

You must know that the soldiers of the Eight Banners under the root of the city have been gathered for a long time.

They have been gathering together in ladders to form small gangs.

Each small group was close to the base of the wall, shielded by a shield cart on the perimeter and a towering ladder inside.

This combination of the Eight Banners successfully misled the Ming army.

The Ming army originally thought that the Eight Banners soldiers gathered together to help the cloud ladder and the push rod at the head of the city.

The Eight Banners gathered there just to ensure that the ladder stood firmly, and to climb the city through the ladder.

Unexpectedly, the Eight Banners were secretly carrying out the plan of digging the city under the cover of the cloud ladder.

After such a long time, who knows how big the hole Houjin has already chiseled.

Seeing the rapidly rising flag on the fort, Man Gui's head buzzed.

These cunning post-gold tartars!

They had already begun to dig the city.

Man Gui finally understood what the golden tartar was thinking and doing.

No wonder the attack of the post-golden tartars has always been unhurried.

The ladders they erected always didn't last long, and they would be pushed down by the Ming army.

And no matter how bad the ladder was, the Houjin Tartar did not readjust.

It turned out that everything the Houjin Tartars did was just to cover for the digging of the city at the root of the city.

If it weren't for the fort's attack on the Houjin Tartars at the root of the city, Ningyuan Chengtou really didn't notice the Houjin Tatars' secret digging of the city.

These Tartars are so cunning.

Man Gui couldn't help but break out in a layer of cold sweat behind him.

At the wave of the banner of Manguiling, the Ming army began to take the initiative to turn its fire to the root of the city wall.

With the transfer of the battery's firepower, the soldiers of the Eight Banners at the root of Ningyuan City began to suffer a large number of casualties.

Due to the limitations of the terrain at the base of the city, the defense of the Houjin Shield Car was greatly reduced.

Now adds side-fire from the turret, making the shield cart even more defenseless.

Seeing that the Ming army began to focus on attacking the soldiers of the Eight Banners at the root of the city, Tong Yangxing knew that their intentions were trying to hide, and they had been completely discovered by the Ming army.

Well, now it's time to fight hard!

"Blow the trumpet, general attack!" Tong Yang yelled loudly.

Thankfully, reinforcements have arrived.

Tong Yangxing rushed out of the cover of the shield car, and thought happily in his heart.
