At about early the next morning, at the west gate of Haizhou City, on the upper floor of the city gate, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty, held a telescope and silently looked at the Jiannu army outside the city.

Early this morning, Jiannu began to mobilize troops on a large scale, gathering most of the troops to the west of Haizhou City, Sun Chuanting, who was originally stationed at the north gate to assist the junior general Hou Gongji, had to be transferred to the west gate, he didn't know what Huang Taiji wanted to do at this time, however, he was not too worried, Huang Taiji can mobilize people, he can also mobilize people, anyway, he has all kinds of firearms in hand, Huang Taiji wants to break through Haizhou City is almost impossible.

Huang Taiji and Dolgon used similar tactics, but also to send a thousand Mengyuan infantry to line up into a straggler formation to test, fill a trench, and there is no advanced tactics, mainly depends on the number of artillery of the Ming army in the city, if there is less artillery, send more people, if there are more artillery, send less people, it's as simple as that, he doesn't need to dig out his mind to be different.

Soon, the results of the trial came out, "boom, boom, boom" With a loud bang, more than ten Meng Yuan infantry soldiers were smashed by the cannonballs and flew upside down, killing instantly!

Huang Taiji frowned when he saw this scene, his eyes narrowed, and his face slowly showed a solemn look.

There are also more than 20 "Hongyi cannons" in the west, and it seems that this situation is a bit bad.

Although he bragged in front of his generals, saying that the Ming army did not have as many tiger squat cannons as theirs, and the Ming army should have moved the tiger squat cannons in the east and west of the city to the south and north of the city, but these are just speculations, how many tiger squatting cannons the Ming army has, how do he know.

Judging from the current situation, he seems to have guessed wrong, the west city wall has more than 20 "Hongyi cannons", which proves that the "Hongyi cannons" of the Ming army are evenly distributed, and there are more than 20 on each city wall, and the "Hongyi cannons" can be equipped so neatly, isn't it okay for the tiger squat cannons, you must know that the "Hongyi cannons" are much more difficult to cast than the tiger squat cannons, they can match each city wall with more than 20 "Hongyi cannons", why can't they match more than 200 tiger squatting cannons to the faceless city wall!

Of course, no matter whether he guessed correctly or not, no matter how many tiger squatting cannons the Ming army had, he had to take this Haizhou City, so he didn't say anything, just squinted his eyes and sat on his horse, staring at Meng Yuan's foot soldiers filling the trench.

At this time, You Shilu, the veteran on the upper floor of the city gate, couldn't help it, this cannonball didn't need to be put like money, he was distressed!

It's not that he hasn't used artillery, at that time, he commanded tens of thousands of people to fight and also had a few artillery, but the shells were very rare, generally a cannon can be matched with fifty shells is good, they are all like treasures, until the enemy charges intensively, they will not fire at all, if it is like Zheng Hua, fifty shells are afraid that they will not be able to hold up for half a day.

He looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help but remind: "This, General Xiao Zheng, if a two-thousand-pound Franc cannon shell hits the crowd, it can kill at least ten enemies, right?" ”

Zheng Hua replied with a glance: "No, General You, that is the effect of the thousand-pound Franc cannon, if the two-thousand-pound Franc cannon shell happens to be smashed in the dense array, at least more than 20 enemies will be killed and injured." ”

Who told you this, whether it is more than ten or more than twenty, it is better than most of you smashing the open space, why is this guy so dull.

You Shilu simply said directly: "General Xiao Zheng, I mean it's too much waste for you to bombard like this." ”

When Zheng Hua heard this, he couldn't help but look at Sun Chuanting, and then explained: "General You, now the reserves of 1,000 catties of Franc machine guns and 2,000 catties of Franc machine guns in Haizhou City are 50,000 rounds, and they can last for more than five months based on the daily consumption of 200 rounds, I think, even if we can hold on, Jiannu can't hold on, right?" ”

When You Shilu heard this, he rolled his eyes, even if there are many shells, you can't waste them like this, don't you need money for shells?

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting hurriedly interjected and explained: "Okay, General You, don't worry about the shells, you haven't been to the arsenal where they produce shells, that guy is just like rubbing rice balls, a lot of them for a while, a lot of them for a while, we can't finish them in our lifetime." ”

Zheng Hua nodded approvingly: "Yes, this shell consumption is really nothing, when we fought a naval battle with Hongmaofan, a fleet, a sideside salvo is thousands of shells, and at the end of the day, tens of thousands of shells are considered less!" ”

When You Shilu heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, and tens of thousands of shells were consumed in a day, which was quite a few!

No wonder this kid doesn't want money for cannonballs, it turns out that this cannonball is really nothing to him.

A fleet, a sideboard salvo is thousands of shells, how spectacular the scene is, at this time, his mind drifted to the sea, he really wants to fight a naval battle, just think about it!

Huang Taiji's mind was not on the sea at this time, he just wanted to take Haizhou City in front of him as soon as possible, but the artillery of the Ming army was too fierce, and he did not dare to command a large number of people to go up to fill the trench, only one thousand at a time, one thousand at a time, slowly filled, just like this for two days, finally filled the attack area of the Ming army's "Hongyi Cannon", Huang Taiji also ordered Meng Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners to have three thousand people per trip, frantically filling the trench in the middle, even if it was close to the city wall, he did not shout to stop.

The result can be imagined, the last group of 3,000 people were bombarded by 250 tiger squat cannons, heavy losses, of course, this does not mean that the Ming army in the city is equipped with more than 200 tiger squat cannons on three city walls, and they may also transfer tiger squat cannons from the south and north of the city.

After testing the number of a Ming army's tiger squat cannon with thousands of lives, Huang Taiji finally ordered all the soldiers of Meng Baqi and Han Baqi to return to the camp to rest, and his side was over.

Early the next morning, Dolgon in the north of the city and Azig in the south of the city began to drive the Mengbaqi and Han Baqi foot soldiers to fill the trench again, however, this time they ordered the soldiers to fill the trench to push on the siege vehicle, so that as long as the siege vehicle was not blown apart, the soldiers below would be fine, the Ming army on the city wall had to concentrate firepower, aimed at the siege vehicle and bombarded it, the casualties of the soldiers who filled the trench were much less, however, the speed of filling the trench was also much slower, and at the end of the day, it also advanced about 100 steps.

Huang Taiji is depressed, seven days, seven days, and he hasn't even touched the city wall, he has captured countless cities, and he has never been so, on the eighth day, he finally couldn't help it, he directly ordered that the west of the city, the south of the city, and the north of the city were launched at the same time, and they filled the trench together, he wanted to see how many tiger squatting cannons there were in the Ming army in the city!

As a result, he was dumbfounded, the bombardment intensity of the three city walls had not changed in any way, it was the same as a few days ago, that is to say, the Ming army in the city had at least seven or eight hundred tiger squat cannons!
