Nurhachi shouted frantically: "Give it to me, take Xin'anbao for me at all costs, I will hang all the Ming troops." ”

Huang Taiji persuaded: "Father Khan, the casualties are too great, think of other ways." ”

Nurhachi said angrily: "What can you do? If Xin'anbao is not captured, how can I have a golden face? If you think of a way, you must capture Xin'anbao. ”

Huang Taiji replied: "Father Khan, the child thought that the power of the Ming army's artillery and guns would be greatly reduced at night, so please ask Father Khan to let the child come to attack the city at night." ”

Nurhachi thought for a moment and said: "This method is really good, I can't see it at night, the power is reduced, but our armor soldiers are different and can't see it?" ”

Huang Taiji said: "Although we can't see it, we are less affected by hand-to-hand combat, so invisibly our combat power will rise, and the Ming army will fall, and we have more advantages at night than fighting during the day." ”

Nurhachi nodded, feeling that this son had finally come up with a slightly more reliable idea, so he ordered, "Mingjin withdraws his troops and fights again at night." ”

Huang Taiji vaguely felt that it was not a good idea to collect troops now, but he was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of the Ming army. But he couldn't object, because this was a way he came up with, and he couldn't say that he would continue to attack and use the lives of the Dajin soldiers to eliminate the suspicion of the Ming army.

When the Houjin soldiers heard the sound of gold, they were overjoyed and immediately began to retreat, leaving hundreds of corpses behind in the process.

The Houjin soldiers retreated, while Lu Qin became suspicious, and he summoned the generals of the Guards to discuss what Jiannu's actions meant.

Zhao Sunchen, the commander of the artillery battalion, said: "What else can it mean, our artillery fire is too fierce, and the slave chief can't stand it, so he can only retreat." ”

Xue Boling shook his head and said, "Although Jiannu was seriously injured, if they swarmed up, it was still possible to capture Xin'anbao, but in that case, their losses would be too great." The Nu chieftain had suffered losses on Juehua Island and Liaonan, and now he was on fire in his heart, and it was impossible to order the withdrawal of his troops after a short attack. ”

Ruchin nodded and said, "That's true." The slave chief suddenly withdrew his troops, Ben Jiang felt that something was wrong, to say that the slave chief was afraid so he withdrew his troops, this situation should not be, he must have reinforcements coming or some new way to attack the city. ”

Xue Boling said: "It is impossible to send reinforcements, because now Jiannu's troops have been exhausted, and it can only be said that they have a way to attack the city." ”

Zhao Sunsin shouted: "What can they do, what can they do except go up with the whole division, what can they do to capture Xin'anbao." ”

Lu Qin touched his hair and began to wonder what weapons Jiannu could have to attack the city? After thinking about it, I found that there was no idea at all, even if some of the artillery was originally obtained by Jiannu in Quang Ninh, but the power of those artillery pieces could not be compared with the artillery of the current Guards at all.

Everyone is thinking, obviously Jiannu's firepower is at a disadvantage, what way can they turn the tables?

After a while, the second brigade commander Gui said uncertainly: "Will Jiannu carry out a night attack?" ”

Zhao Sunsin immediately objected: "We really can't see the night attack, but can't they see it differently?" What's the difference between that and attacking during the day. ”

Xue Boling patted his head and said, "Brother Gui is talented, and finally solved my doubts. We couldn't see the enemy at night, and the firearms couldn't do much damage to them, and the walls were here, and they could always climb up. ”

Lu Qin glanced at Gui Shuzhen appreciatively and said, "In this way, we have to think of a good way, attacking at night is indeed our weakness." ”

At this time, the quartermaster said: "Last time, the Beijing division pulled out a batch of new weapons, which are said to be changed from Qi Shuai's self-committed steel wheel fire, and the new name on it is landmines. This thing can only be triggered by waiting for the enemy to step on it, and cannot actively attack the enemy, so it has not been used in the warehouse. ”

Lu Qin thought for a while and said, "I heard you say last time, and it is also one of the weapons tested, and I have never had the opportunity to use it before, and I have forgotten it." It is just right to bury them in front of the city wall to prevent the Jiannu from sneaking up. ”

Gui said: "We can also use more fire-starting things outside the city walls, as soon as the mines explode, they can be ignited, and then we can guide our firearms." ”

Xue Boling also said: "Sprinkling thistle on the ground can stop Jiannu from advancing. ”

Zhao Sunsin interjected: "Wouldn't it be better to boil the tribulus terrestris in the poison first?" ”

The quartermaster replied: "Cook it in gold juice, and after the stab, one leg is basically useless." ”

The generals were in a heated discussion about how to deal with the night attack of Jiannu, while the quartermaster had people go to the warehouse and get instructions for the mines. Lu Qin ordered Xue Boling to take a battalion to clean up the corpses of Jiannu in front of the city, and asked to use the corpses of Jiannu as much as possible to form an obstacle, so that the Houjin soldiers who attacked at night could only advance according to a certain route, and then let Gui Shuzhen take a battalion to learn how to arrange mines.

In the evening, Katsura led people to start laying mines, and then sprinkled the gaps with iron thistles boiled in gold juice (dung water) and a large amount of hay and other ignition materials, just waiting for the night attack of Jiannu.

The Guards were ordered to rest in full armor and be ready to go into battle at any time. Just after the time of arrival, the explosion of mines sounded outside the city walls, and the soldiers immediately got up and went to the city walls to participate in the battle.

The explosion of the mine ignited the surrounding hay, which became an excellent target for artillery and firecrackers. A large amount of ammunition poured down on Jiannu, who could be reached by the fire, and the shells detonated more mines, causing the entire north side of the city wall to ignite a fire, reflecting the whole sky red.

The sneak attack on Jiannu has become an open attack, and now it is in a state of darkness and light, and it has become a live target for a while. Moreover, the thistle terrestris, which was hidden in the hay, also stabbed the feet of a large number of Houjinjia soldiers, making them lose their combat effectiveness.

In order to keep the flames intact, the Ming army also made two improvised trebuchets and threw the bales into the burning haystacks, making the fire even bigger.

The Houjin army originally came to climb the wall with confidence, but suffered this unexpected blow, and their morale fell sharply for a while. And Huang Taiji originally thought that he understood the weakness of the Ming army's firearms at night, but he didn't want the Ming army to use new means to easily turn the disadvantage into an advantage, but instead made the Houjin army tied up and was easily targeted by the Ming army's firearms.

And the Houjin soldiers, who finally ran to the bottom of the city wall, raised a simple ladder to prepare for the siege, the ignited hay bales fell from above, and after the landing, the gunpowder in the hay bales ignited, exploded, and a ball of phosphorus fire stained the Houjin armor soldiers, and there was no way to extinguish it, and the screams were mixed with the unpleasant smell of the meat being burned, making the city wall become a hell.
