After dawn, Chi Qilong drooped his head and went to the direction of the city gate alone, asking to see Wu Sangui again, while Dolgon lit the Eight Banners of Mongolia and asked them to attack the northern city.

The rangers have reconnoitred on all sides of Ningyuan City, there are trenches outside the city everywhere, and the defense of Ningyuan City seems to be indistinguishable from the main and secondary, Dolgon thought carefully and decided to launch an attack from outside the northern city, which is the most open outside the northern city, which is suitable for cavalry activities.

Today's Mongolian Eight Banners, in fact, there are only seven flags, and the Ibai Department of the Zhengbai Banner originally had two Jiala, all of which were lent to Azig the day before yesterday, and they were reimbursed under the city of Ningyuan, and Yibai became a loner.

20,000 Mongolian cavalry, the first out of the camp, towards the north gate of Ningyuan City, Dolgon left Duoduo inlaid with white flags to guard the camp, himself with Azig, Ning Wan, Hong Chengchou far behind, the remnants of the Han army banner soldiers, also left the camp, followed behind Dolgon, ready to go into battle at any time.

The Mongols were also nomads, and the speed and momentum of the cavalry were no less than those of the Manchurian cavalry, and 20,000 cavalry galloped out of the northern city with the dew on the tips of the grass.

In the trench outside the north city, Li Xinxin looked at the cavalry coming quickly with cold eyes, and admired Li Zicheng in his heart, the emperor said well, the Tartars were afraid of the east city, and really launched an attack from the open terrain of the north city.

If the Tartars attacked the city from the west and south gates, the second division in the trenches, which was not equipped with rifles, could only withdraw to the city under the cover of artillery fire.

The mountain artillery of the Mandate of Heaven has achieved miniaturization and is very convenient to move, could it be that these mountain cannons are tailor-made for the cavalry of the Tartars?

Li Xin also has some worries, Liu Tingjie's division of the third regiment of the first division, and Mao Xianwen's division of the fourth regiment are all new recruits, although they are equipped with rifles, but since joining the Mandate of Heaven Army, they have not participated in many battles, and in front of a large number of cavalry of the Tartars, I don't know if they can withstand it?

He glanced at the soldiers who were engrossed in front of him, and said with a faint smile: "Brothers, do you want to make meritorious contributions?" The first regiment and the second day, in two days, shot 20,000 Tartars!"

"Yes!"

"The Tartars we shoot will definitely surpass the first and second regiments!"

"Back to the general, of course we want to make meritorious contributions, and if we make meritorious service, we will be rewarded with silver, and if we have a reward, we can marry our mother-in-law......"

“……”

"Look at your virtue, you will know your mother-in-law!" Li Xin scolded with a smile: "If you make meritorious service on the battlefield, not only will you be rewarded, but you may also be promoted, and if you are promoted in the future, when you return to your hometown, not only will you glorify your ancestors, but the girls will also cry and rush to marry you, and you will not have a mother-in-law?" ”

Mao Xianwen followed Li Xin's side, and also said with a smile: "As long as you make meritorious contributions, get rewarded silver, and be promoted to an official, don't talk about mother-in-law in the future, it is not impossible to marry two yellow flower girls with big butts and big tits." ”

The soldiers nearby were laughing and their rifles were slightly relaxed.

Li Xin said with a smile: "I won't dream of being a mother-in-law, only if I shoot and kill the Tartars and make meritorious contributions, will I get a reward and be promoted," he pointed forward with his right hand and said: "The Tartar cavalry in front is your military merit, don't miss the opportunity!"

"General rest assured, we will not lose to the first regiment and the second regiment!"

"These Tartars, dare to show off their might in the land of Huaxia, I must let them know that Huaxia is not the Ming Dynasty before!"

"The Tartars are naturally here, so don't go back, shoot the Tartars, and I'll get a war horse......"

……

Li Xin threw this place to Mao Xianwen, took the soldiers with him, went to the next place, and laughed with the soldiers along the way, which was not only to let the soldiers relax, but also to let the soldiers establish confidence in victory, especially the achievements of the first and second regiments, which could not only inspire the soldiers of the third and fourth regiments, but also allow the soldiers to find self-confidence from similar battles.

"Boom...... Long ......"

Before Li Xin had finished walking through the three horizontal trenches, the mountain cannons on the head of the city rang out, and dozens of flowering shells, making a huge whistling sound, flew over the trenches and landed in the cavalry team in front.

The artillerymen did not have to worry about the flowering shells going astray, but they were worried that the flowering shells would fall in the trench and injure their brothers.

The cavalry was so numerous and dense that they hardly needed to calibrate, and as long as they smashed the flowering bullets, they would explode a bloody flower in the cavalry, and there were stumps and broken arms flying into the air......

At the center of the explosion, there was even the feat of the whole centaur flying into the sky, and although the shock wave was not visible to the naked eye, the damage to the centaur seemed to be no less than the explosion itself.

At this time, it makes little difference whether a soldier is injured or killed, as long as he falls off the horse, he is soon trampled by the horses of his companions, and there are no bones left, only a small pool of blood and water to water the meadow.

Dolgon looked at the battlefield in front of him with a gloomy gaze, his face was quite calm, but his heart was uneasy, yesterday's artillery was destroyed, and today he can only let the artillery of the Ming army abuse it, only close to the city wall, into the blind spot of the artillery, the artillery on the city head will lose its effect.

I don't know how long it will be before the warriors get close to the walls.

He turned around and looked at the Han army banner behind him, the soldiers of the Han army banner had already prepared siege equipment, as long as the Mongol cavalry cleared the obstacles, they would pounce on the city wall at any time......

Dolgon sighed secretly, the people of the Han army banner, it is not good to charge into battle, but when it comes to attacking the city, they still have to rely on them, but unfortunately, more than half of the casualties yesterday, among them, the white flag, the white flag, is the whole army annihilated.

No matter what the battle is today, the Great Qing Kingdom has suffered too heavy losses when it goes south this time!

Dolgon was still sighing, and the cavalry of the Mongolian flag in front of him had already entered the range of the rifles, and the "bang" gunfire was endless.

The cavalry that rushed to the front fell under the muzzle of the gun, and was soon trampled by the horses' hooves and disappeared, while the mountain artillery at the head of the city did not stop, and the flowering shells continued to hit the cavalry in the rear.

I have a bad premonition all the time, maybe today is another big defeat! He couldn't bear to look directly, and closed his eyes slightly, at this moment, no matter how good the idea was, it was useless.

Hong Chengchou was shocked, when did the cavalry of the Great Qing Kingdom become lambs to be slaughtered? Although Chi Qilong has not yet sent back the message, he believes that there must be a Heavenly Mandate Army in the city!

This kind of fighting style is really familiar to him.

On that day in the Guguan of Longshan Road, the Ming Dynasty was still in full swing, but tens of thousands of Ming troops fell under this kind of rifle and artillery, if it were not for the Mandate of Heaven army to end the battle and reach a temporary peace with the Ming army, I am afraid that they would not be able to go back......

In the face of this kind of firearm of the Heavenly Mandate Army, any excellent general is helpless, and he can't do it himself, and Cao Wenzhao, who is a rogue nemesis, is also a big defeat, and he only escaped with his life by relying on thousands of cavalry.

If Da Ming had this kind of firearm of the Mandate of Heaven Army, how could Da Ming be defeated in the Songjin War the year before last? He would not have been defeated and captured, and was forced to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty......

Every cavalryman fell, Hong Chengchou's heart fell one point, the battle was not over, and his heart had almost fallen to the center of his feet......

After Chi Qilong entered the city, he did not directly ask to see Wu Sangui, but walked around the city, seemingly very random, but he asked the people about the location of various military camps.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how many firearms there were in the city, and whether there was a Heavenly Mandate Army stationed in the barracks, since Wu Sangui didn't say it, he decided to ask the soldiers in person, if Wu Sangui knew that he was a messenger, Wu Sangui would be displeased, and there would be nothing he could do about him.

It's a pity that Chi Qilong didn't get his wish.

The military camps in the city were very heavily guarded, and the soldiers not only did not answer any of his questions, but also drew their swords against him and expelled him in time.

In a military camp in the west of the city, the soldiers guarding the gate were very irritable, and Chi Qilong was only a little sluggish, and then he was put on the neck with a steel knife, "Who are you?" Why spy on the military? ”

Chi Qilong's head was sweating, and he said that he was a messenger who came to find General Wu Sangui.

The soldier still didn't follow, "Looking for General Wu, why don't you wait for the report?" It's clearly a Tartar spy!"

Just when Chi Qilong was at a loss, Wu Sangui came from outside the barracks behind him, drank back the soldiers, and looked at Chi Qilong with a smile, "Why did Mr. appear in the barracks?" ”

Chi Qilong was like a kidnapped child, insulted and intimidated, and when he saw his parents at this time, he hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, bowed his hand to Wu Sangui, and said, "I finally saw General Wu!"

"Is the gentleman looking for a general?" Wu Sangui returned the salute and said, "Why didn't you look for it immediately after entering the city?" This is the barracks, the brothers are not very good-tempered, Ben will make amends for them here!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Chi Qilong said in a loud voice, "General Wu, the matter of this meeting ......"

Wu Sangui laughed and said, "Sir, come with me!" Regardless of whether Chi Qilong was willing or not, he turned around and left, Chi Qilong had to follow behind and enter Wu Sangui's Chinese army tent.

The two of them sat down separately, and Wu Sangui slowly asked the soldiers to serve tea, "The barracks are simple, the tea is not good, don't blame Mr!"

"Where, where!" Chi Qilong learned from the Han people and reluctantly saluted, but he was very anxious in his heart, "General Wu, the matter of the talks ......"

"Is the gentleman here for a talk?" Wu Sangui pretended to be, his face changed countless expressions, and in the end only a trace of anger remained, "Ben General proposed to talk to the regent face-to-face, but the regent responded to Ben General, but it was cavalry, for three days, it was like this, Ben Jiang suspected, either Mr. did not convey the meaning of Ben to the regent, or the regent ......"

"Absolutely not, General Wu doesn't have to doubt it!" Chi Qilong hurriedly said: "The regent is waiting for General Wu all the time, and his sincerity can show the sun and the moon. ”

"Really?" Wu Sangui smiled faintly: "Why didn't the general see the sincerity of the regent?" Don't hide it, sir, in the past two days of fighting, this little bit of soldiers under the general is about to be wiped out......"

"You ......" Chi Qilong wanted to cry without tears, two days of fighting, the Qing Dynasty lost 20,000 cavalry, although the casualties of the Han army flag were the heaviest, but the casualties of the Manchurian cavalry were not small, the fifteen Niu Lu of the white flag Azig had been wiped out, and Azig now only had one mount left.

How many soldiers Wu Sangui had killed and wounded, Chi Qilong couldn't estimate, he walked around the city for half a circle, out of the soldiers who were fighting outside the city, the soldiers stationed at the head of the city, and there were many soldiers in the barracks, not at all like the appearance of heavy casualties and a full camp of wounded soldiers.

How many defenders were there in the city?

"Let's not talk about casualties," Wu Sangui suddenly smiled, and said with a straight face: "Sir, to tell the truth, does the regent want to recruit the general, or will he consume all the soldiers of the general?" ”

"The regent's intention to recruit the general remains the same, General Wu doesn't need to doubt it," Chi Qilong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just ...... It's just that I asked the general the truth, is there a Chinese army in the city? ”

Wu Sangui's expression remained unchanged, the emperor said, there is a matter of the Heavenly Mandate Army in the city, and sooner or later it will be known by the Tartars, before the Tartars confirmed, it was concealed, which just made Dolgon hesitate, a trace of anger appeared on his face, and he said hurriedly: "Rumors, there must be someone who deliberately slandered the general in front of the regent, is it Ning Wan me, or Hong Chengchou?" Ben didn't play with them......"

"The general doesn't need to be angry, no one has slandered the general," Chi Qilong said: "If there is no Huaxia army in the city, then why are there such sharp firearms?" ”

"So it's for firearms?" Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Sir doesn't know, after the defeat of Songjin, the imperial court was shocked, so he developed this batch of new firearms, just to deal with the Qing cavalry. ”

"Why haven't you seen these firearms before?"

"It takes time to develop firearms," Wu Sangui explained: "After the imperial court developed this batch of firearms, it was immediately transported to Ningyuan," sighed, and said faintly: "It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of the rogues, otherwise, such firearms would emerge in endlessly......"
