The Ming army was dispatched, and one after another columns of Ming troops lined up neatly through the city gate, crossed the newly built bridge, ran to the north bank of the Wanshui River, and lined up one after another neat phalanx, endlessly, I don't know how many.

Among them, there are also all kinds of transport vehicles, the old high piles of grain and grass on them, as well as all kinds of chariots and artillery trucks, also appeared in the array of the Ming army, obviously, this time they are not drills, but really set off, to attack Liaoyang City.

Huang Taiji in Liaoyang City received the news, and the panic on his face disappeared, he always had to come, whether he was afraid or not, the Ming army would always come to attack the city, rather than cowering, it was better to face it bravely.

Besides, he wasn't too afraid, Zhang Bin wanted to take Liaoyang City, and he also wanted to fight a turnaround battle in Liaoyang City like Ning Yuan's great victory.

The way the Ming army marched this time was quite strange, after marching for more than ten miles, they actually stopped again, and used chariots to block all the front and sides, and they didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Are they going to build cities again?

Could it be that Zhang Bin really wants to learn from Sun Chengzong and play fortress advancement!

Huang Taiji received the news, he was depressed and wanted to squirt blood, at this time he didn't know that Zhang Bin had reorganized the Guanning Iron Cavalry, expanding the number of cavalry to 50,000, in his opinion, the Houjin Iron Cavalry still has a certain advantage over the Ming cavalry, if the Ming army camp is too scattered or the defense is not very tight, he also wants his cavalry to engage in a sneak attack and harass the Ming army.

Also, the consumption of grain and grass for more than 200,000 troops is quite amazing, and it is impossible for the Ming army to bring a few months' food at a time, and he still wants to send cavalry to cut off people's food routes.

He has also read a lot of history books, and there are many examples of winning battles by cutting off people's food routes in history, and he happens to have cavalry with super mobility and combat power, of course he wants to use this tactic.

If the Ming army builds another big city with a radius of several miles on the north bank of the Wanshui River, he won't think about anything, because the north bank of the Wanshui River is about fifty miles away from Liaoyang City, and the Ming army will build another city, which is enough to control the area of more than ten miles, and they will then put the camp to the north of the city, more than 200,000 troops, and the camp is at least more than 20 miles, and their camp is just about ten miles south of Liaoyang City, and the grain road is equal to the camp of the Ming army, and how can the cavalry cut off the grain road!

This time, he didn't guess correctly, because the Ming army began to advance again after less than an hour, and did not build a city on the north bank of the Wanshui River at all; He didn't guess completely wrong, because after the Ming army withdrew the chariots on both sides, a narrow camp more than ten miles long appeared on the north bank of the Wanshui River, and both sides of the camp were full of stout wooden mountains.

Of course, Zhang Bin knew that Huang Taiji wanted to cut off the grain road, because in history, Hong Chengchou was defeated on this grain and grass, more than 200,000 troops, if the grain and grass were cut off, it would not take a few days to collapse without a fight, this kind of thing, how could he be careless, he was not Hong Chengchou.

The Ming army marched for more than ten miles, and then stopped, this time, they stopped for more than an hour, and left a narrow camp nearly twenty miles long in the same place, this time, Huang Taiji completely rested the idea of sneak attack and food cut-off, Zhang Bin this guy, it is simply not leaky, he has no chance at all!

In the end, the Ming army finally connected the camp to the south of Liaoyang City for more than ten miles, and it didn't take half a day to complete the journey, they walked for a day, but all the places they passed left the big camp, that is to say, the camp of the Ming army stretched for nearly forty miles!

Forty miles of camp is nothing, in history there are fifty miles, sixty miles or even hundreds of miles, in the famous fire company camp in history, Liu Bei even camped hundreds of miles, but was burned by Lu Xun.

Zhang Bin was also inspired by the burning of the company camp, so he came up with the trick of this company camp, of course, his company camp forty miles was not burned for Huang Taiji, he was just to prevent Huang Taiji from sneaking up on the grain road.

He wasn't in a hurry anyway, because the strategy he set was to level Liao in three years, and an important town like Liaoyang could be taken down in one year to complete the task, and he was also afraid that Huang Taiji would play some tactics to add fuel to, because all the young and strong people in the Eight Banners would be at most 300,000, and this person would not be able to turn the sky in front of him.

The only thing he needs to be careful about is that Huang Taiji will carry out a sneak attack and cut off his food route, so he will use this company and camp tactics, and after the company finished the camp, he still did not rush to attack the city, but ordered people to build a lookout, on both sides of the camp, every mile a high lookout, Jiannu will be discovered in advance if he wants to sneak attack the camp.

Huang Taiji still has the heart to sneak attack the camp of the Ming army at this time, he just thinks that Zhang Bin will hurry up and wave the army to attack the city, to taste the taste of cannonballs, at this time the number of Hongyi cannons in Liaoyang City is more than that in Haizhou City, and the Hongyi cannons in Haizhou City are only one hundred and fifty cannons, and he, this time in Liaoyang City, there are nearly two hundred Hongyi cannons, each city wall is about fifty, and the outside of the city is also full of trenches, and the Ming army will definitely be like they did in Haizhou City, filling a trench and spraying blood, If you want to attack in a dense formation, you will be bombarded and lose a lot.

He waited a little anxiously for three days, and the Ming army finally swarmed out of the camp, put on a formation, and prepared to attack the city, but he didn't have binoculars, and could only watch the Ming army like ants from a distance in the dense array outside the trench, what the Ming army was doing, he couldn't see it clearly.

At this time, Zhang Bin was standing on the command platform made of four chariots and used a telescope to observe the city wall of Liaoyang City, and after looking at it for a while, he put down the telescope and sighed: "I am afraid that the city wall of Liaoyang City is not more than two zhang high, and I can't see the things behind the arrow stacks when I stand on it, so I am afraid that I will build a cloud ladder." ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he looked at the chariot under his feet and proposed: "Why don't you make a triangular wooden ladder with a height of a few feet to nail the chariot, so that the soldiers can save the soldiers from carrying the ladder." ”

Zhang Bin looked at the chariot under his feet, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This method is good, it is really troublesome to lift the ladder more than two zhang long, and the chariot is not so long, the soldiers can't carry the ladder to hide under the chariot if they want to attack the city, so the casualties will be great." Yes, yes, I'll let Dingguo start doing it tomorrow, and now, let's start shelling. ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he ordered without hesitation: "Order, order the Qi family army to push the two thousand catties of Buddha Lang machine guns forward and start shelling!" ”

He is the chief general of the Tianxiong Army, how can he command the Qi family's army?

It turned out that Zhang Bin divided the army into three parts: the front, middle and back, with the Tianxiong Army, the Qijia Army and the Sichuan Army as the vanguard, commanded by Lu Xiangsheng, responsible for the siege; The Fuguang Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry were the central army, which was personally commanded by him and was responsible for supporting the forward siege; The Qin army and the Dongjiang army were the rearguard, commanded by Sun Chuanting, who was responsible for guarding Anshan City and transporting grain and grass.

This Lu Xiangsheng gave an order, and the artillery of the Qi family army soon pushed a hundred 2,000-pound Franc machine guns to the front of the formation, and they skillfully fixed the artillery carriage on the ground, and then under the command of Qi Yuangong, loaded the shells and began to test fire.

"Boom", with a loud bang, a cannonball flew to the city wall in the south of Liaoyang City with a whistling, and Huang Taiji, who was waiting for the Ming army to fill the trench and eat the cannonballs on the south gate tower, couldn't help but be startled, what was going on, the Ming army actually fired the cannon first, did they carry the Hongyi cannon of Haizhou City here!

However, listening to this sound, there is obviously only one artillery, so what's the use of carrying a Hongyi cannon over?

Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a huge roar of artillery, followed by a crackling sound on the city wall, mixed with countless screams.

What's going on, the artillery of the Ming army can bombard so far, so accurately, and there are so many of them!

Huang Taiji's face suddenly became extremely ugly, he originally thought that he could let the Ming army taste the taste of cannonballs, but as a result, the Ming army opened artillery without getting close to the outermost trench, and they could also bombard the city wall, and they were the ones who ate the cannonballs!
