Chapter 258: Attacking for Attacking (Asking for Subscriptions, Recommendations, Collections)
In the sound of the horn, Hou Jin according to the prior plan, the Zhenghong Banner and the Zhenglan Banner took the lead in pressing towards the forts on both sides of Ningyuan City.
Daishan and Mang Gurtai will be the first to attack, and even if they can't take the fort, they must contain the power of the fort.
Knowing that Nurhachi was personally supervising the battle, Daishan and Mang Gurtai did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
The foot soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner and the Zhenglan Banner, directly under the cover of the archers, relied on the ladder and began to launch a fierce attack on the fort.
Seeing that the Zhenghong Banner and the Zhenglan Banner had already pinned down the forts on the left and right, Nurhachi led two yellow and three red flags to press up from the middle lane.
In the middle lane, Houjin still led the way with a large number of Nikans, and began to attack after being pressed with red flags and two yellow flags.
Nurhachi used Nikan's chaotic assault in front to attract the Ming army's firepower.
The two yellow flags and the eight flags inlaid with red flags were being pressed, but under the cover of the shield car, the whole army slowly pressed towards the Ningyuan city wall with a strange rhythm.
In this wave, Nurhachi directly invested more than half of the main force of the Eight Banners.
He wanted to take Ning Yuan in one fell swoop with the momentum of Mount Tai.
Seeing the armor at the head of the city, there are a large number of uneven gaps.
Man Gui felt a thrill in his heart.
The old slave is really going to work hard this time.
The old slave would rather the elite cavalry be damaged than destroy the armor at the head of the city.
Just from this tactical move, you can see how determined the old slave is to attack Ning Yuan.
Sure enough, when the cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, the main force of the Houjin Tartars slowly moved at the sound of horns.
At the sound of the horn, the heavy Tartar army formation first divided its tentacles and clearly pointed to the forts on both sides, and then the whole army pressed towards Ningyuan City.
Hou Jin's sea-like array, with a pressure like a mountain, slammed towards Ning Yuan.
Looking at the Tartar army formation of this scale, a smile appeared on Man Gui's face.
Yes, that's it!
This is the big scene that Man Gui dreamed of.
That's what wars are.
After carefully observing the Tartar army formation for a moment, he was sure that the Tartars did not have any tall heavy siege equipment. Man Gui nodded with satisfaction.
Something seemed wrong with the atmosphere at the head of the city.
Man Gui looked left and right at the head of the city, and he suddenly found that the faces of the Ming army on the left and right were a little unnatural.
Was it the momentum of our army that was suppressed by the Tartars?
Looking at the dignified Tartar army formation, Man Gui waved the order flag in his hand lightly and issued an order to prepare heavy artillery.
Facing the somewhat unnatural Ming army around him, Man Gui shouted loudly:
"See, we defeated the little one, and the old slave finally came out in person."
While shouting loudly, Man Gui motioned to the guards around him to help him pass the word.
The guards understood Man Gui's gesture and repeated it aloud.
"The old slave wants to enter Ningyuan, but do you want to seal the knife?
Phew, stop dreaming.
The small ones can't come, and the old ones can't do the same.
Sons, watch us break the old slave's knife and break the old slave's teeth. ”
Man Gui's shouts spread throughout Ningyuan City along with the shouts of the guards.
I don't know if it was the Ming army who also shouted.
"I'm afraid of a ball, break the old slave's knife, and break his teeth again!"
For a while, the Ming army at the head of the city shouted along.
"Break his knife and break his teeth!"
Seeing that the momentum of the Ming army was rising, Man Gui shouted loudly and waved the order flag in his hand heavily.
"Break his knife and break his teeth!"
In the shouts of the Ming army at the head of the city, the red-clothed cannons of the Ming army fired the most neat salvo at the Houjin main formation, which was slowly pressed forward.
In front of everyone's eyes, the Houjin Formation was ploughed open several openings, and the stumps and broken arms scattered and flew in all directions.
The mountain-like pressure brought by the Houjin army array collapsed in an instant.
"Tooth out!"
Looking at the neat Houjin army array, there was an obvious breach, and a strange voice came from the Ming army at the head of the city.
The Ming army burst into laughter.
In the sound of cannons, the sound of mockery from the city was faintly heard, and Nurha was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
But the mocking laughter of the Ming army ruthlessly reminded Nurhachi that his habit of suppressing people with force in the past was completely useless to Ning Yuan's Ming army.
Suppressing his anger, Nurhachi waved his hand, and the sound of the horn changed.
The Eight Banners made changes with the sound of the trumpet.
A group of soldiers carried the ladder and rushed towards the city, and the archers, under the cover of the shield carts, began to line up with the shield carts to release arrows at the city.
All the actions made by Hou Jin, except for the fact that there are a lot more people, are almost the same as yesterday's performance.
But Man Gui keenly sniffed out the smell of conspiracy from the actions of the Houjin Tartars.
It is impossible for the Houjin Tartars not to learn their lesson and make any adjustments, what does the Tartars want to do?
The answer, Man Gui found it right away.
The post-golden Tatars seem to be doing the same, but the targets they are targeting are completely different from yesterday.
The current target of the Houjin Tartar is the armor of the head of Ningyuan City.
Houjin Tartar turned out to be like crazy, and pointed all his attacks at the armor at the head of Ningyuan City.
Heavy arrows, muskets, and even the Tartars on the ladders also threw out various hooks and locks, and all the attacks of the Tartars had one purpose, that is, to destroy the armor of Ningyuan City.
Watching the armor at the head of the city under the blow of the Houjin storm, the sawdust flew and crumbled.
Man Gui suddenly understood Nurhachi's thoughts.
The old slave wanted to break the armor of the head of Ningyuan City first, and then rely on the superior archers to strengthen the blow to the head of the city to cover the foot soldiers to climb the city.
The old slave's idea is very simple, and because it is simple, there is no way for Man Gui to crack it.
The purpose of the armor at the head of Ningyuan City was to absorb the enemy's attacks and provide effective defense for the Ming army.
The old slave violently attacked the armor, and Man Gui couldn't use people to cover the armor anymore, right?
That didn't fall into the hands of the old slave.
Under such a strong attack by the Houjin Tartars, Man Gui could not arrange for someone to repair the armor. In such a fierce rain of arrows, whoever goes is afraid that it will be the result of death.
What's more, even if it is repaired, it cannot be repaired immediately.
It's always easier to destroy than to build.
Old slave, since you are mainly attacking defensive equipment, then I will attack your people.
Let's see who can't stand it first.
Isn't it time to trade offense for offense!
Gritting his teeth, with a wave of the Mangui Ling flag, the Ming army at the head of the city opened full firepower and smashed the golden archers behind.
Come on, old slave.
Since you like it, then I'll exchange the armor for your archer, and see which of us can't afford to change it first.
Man Gui gritted his teeth and thought while arranging for the shield bearers of the Ming army to be ready to fill the position at any time.
Seeing the archers under his command constantly falling in the Ming army's artillery fire, Nurhachi's heart twitched in pain.
It's been years since we've had such a vicious battle.
It seems that the last time was when I was fighting the elite of the Ming army in the Hunhe!
No, now is not the time to reminisce.
Nurhachi shook her head and forcibly pulled her thoughts back.
Seeing the speed at which the archers in front of him fell, Nurhachi frowned.
You can't change it like this, it's too uneconomical. It was necessary to disperse the firepower of the Ming army.
Nurhachi waved his hand, and the horn issued an order, and an army of eight banners, mainly Nikan, began to move in the direction of the city gate of Ningyuan.
Attacking the city gate, Nurhachi released a method that had been hidden for a long time.
