The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more excited he became, he would do what his father Alatan Khan had not done, he would kill all over the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and he would permanently occupy this prosperous fertile land and become the Khan of Heaven.

But......

What he never expected was that he encountered the tenacious resistance of the Ming Dynasty, especially the barbed wire, which became an insurmountable moat and a harvester for the grassland coalition army.

He saw that the more than 16,000 grassland soldiers who had besieged the city were now only about 7,000 left, and more than 9,000 had been killed or wounded. If this continues, before the city is attacked, the remaining 7,000 people will die in front of the hateful barbed wire.

Alatan Khan looked painfully at the steppe soldiers who were still screaming and falling from the barbed wire, and couldn't help but chant a man's name in his heart!

"Luo Xin, when the city is broken, I will be the first to kill you!"

His gaze looked at the barbed wire fence at the head of the city, his gaze swept over the battlefield again, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately gave the order.

The sound of Mingjin sounded, Luo Xin's expression was stunned, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky, the sky was still a while away from dusk, how could Huang Taiji Mingjin withdraw his troops?

"That's not right!"

Luo Xin found that it was only the soldiers who were besieging the city that retreated, the arrow tower did not retreat, and the grassland archers above still shot arrows at the head of the city, but the remaining five siege vehicles stopped attacking. Luo Xin looked towards the siege engine, and saw that under the huge siege engine, the grassland soldiers were unloading the half-filled canisters.

"Huang Taiji, what is this going to do? Do you really want to withdraw your troops? ”

But......

Then he saw the steppe soldiers take out the canisters of fire oil and begin to load the siege wagons with boulders. Luo Xin's brows furrowed, not knowing what Huang Taiji's purpose was in doing this.

"My lord, what are they trying to do?" Admiral Zhang behind him also looked at him with a probing head.

Luo Xin shook his head slightly, but he only shook his head halfway, and then suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on the barbed wire, then at the five siege engines under the city, and then at the barbed wire at the head of the city, and his face became extremely ugly.

"My lord, what's wrong?" When Admiral Zhang saw Luo Xin's ugly face, he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

"All the soldiers are hidden, catapults, attack, destroy the siege engines!"

Luo Xin roared, and the Ming soldiers above the city quickly retreated, and even the firefighting auxiliaries also retreated. There were only fifty or so catapults left, and under the banner of the standard-bearer, they were constantly correcting the direction and height, and throwing stones out of the city.

"My lord......" At this time, not only Admiral Zhang, but all the generals felt uneasy, and their eyes all looked at Luo Xin.

Luo Xin said with a solemn expression: "Huang Taiji wants to use siege trucks to collapse the barbed wire. ”

The looks on the faces of the generals were shocked, but they saw the power of the barbed wire, to be honest, if it weren't for the barbed wire, I'm afraid that the grassland coalition army would have broken through the northern city long ago, and the entire capital would have fallen at this time. The faces of the generals were full of anxiety.

"My lord, is there a good plan?"

"Nope!" Luo Xin had regained his composure at this time, and said in a condensed voice: "If the catapults can collapse all the siege vehicles before the barbed wire is blown down, we will have no problem holding out until sunset." If the barbed wire is completely blown down, the real decisive battle is coming. Prepare for hand-to-hand combat, Admiral Zhang, go and select a group of resolute people to form a team of superintendents, and those who retreat will be killed. ”

"Yes!"

Admiral Zhang's heart was a chill, and under the protection of several shield soldiers, he rushed out of the corner tower.

"Boom ......"

The siege engines began to be dropped, and countless boulders rose into the air and fell towards the city. The roar was incessant, and all the boulders fell over the barbed wire fence and into the city. All the generals were overjoyed, and the steppe soldiers under the city began to adjust the height of the siege vehicle again.

Luo Xin watched the boulder continue to rise into the air, gradually approaching the barbed wire, and his heart became heavier and heavier. At this time, he remembered his three worries.

The first worry was the fire attack, and now the fire attack has happened, and it is beyond Luo Xin's expectations. Originally, Luo Xin just expected that it was only a rocket, but he didn't expect that Huang Taiji would actually make a siege vehicle and throw fire oil cans, and the damage to the Ming soldiers far exceeded Luo Xin's expectations.

However, Luo Xin made a prediction one step ahead of time, and removed the flammable and dangerous goods such as gunpowder and oil canisters early, without causing large-scale casualties. Moreover, because of the presence of barbed wire, direct hand-to-hand combat with the grassland coalition forces was avoided. Therefore, this worry no longer exists, and Luo Xin effectively suppressed the threat brought by the fire attack of the grassland coalition army.

The second worry is that Huang Taiji drove the people of the Ming Dynasty to attack the city, and they were mixed in with the people of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Luo Xin is in a dilemma, if he does not kill the people of the Ming Dynasty who climbed up the ladder, the capital will be lost. Killing the people of the Ming Dynasty will leave a bad reputation.

However, that fear no longer exists. It was not Luo Xin who solved this problem, but Huang Taiji. It is precisely because he shouted out the slaughter of the country, and he really did that, so where the grassland coalition army passed, it was simply to kill and rob everything, even if Huang Taiji wanted to catch a group of Ming people, he couldn't catch it. So the threat posed by the second fear is gone.

Now Luo Xin is most worried about the third, that is, after Huang Taiji can't capture the capital today, he will bypass the capital, go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, burn and loot.

It's very likely.

I'm afraid that the grassland coalition forces don't have a few days of grain and grass left, let alone a retreat to the grassland, they don't even have food and grass on the way back to the grassland, I'm afraid that if they don't have to return to the grassland, they will starve to death on the way. So they have no way out, either to capture the capital, or to bypass the capital and go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

If Huang Taiji can capture the capital before tonight falls, all the problems of the grassland coalition army will be solved, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger of losing the country. If Huang Taiji can't capture the capital today, it means that he will never have a chance to capture the capital again, whether it is the strength of the grassland or the morale, they will not be able to attack the capital. In this way, they can't retreat and retreat, and they can't attack and attack, so there is only one way left, that is, to bypass the capital, go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, burn, kill and loot.

If something like this really happens, where will Luo Xin go from here?

"Boom ......"

A violent roar woke Luo Xin from his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw that the boulder thrown by the siege vehicle was low again and smashed on the city wall. Luo Xin withdrew his gaze and began to think again.
