The offensive of the Houjin army spread out quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long after, in the open field under the city, countless Tartar figures surrounded nearly a thousand chariots of all kinds, loose but dense, quickly approaching the north of Ningyuan City.

Inspector Yuan's spirit was obviously lifted up all at once, and he kept shouting loudly, calling out all the departments to prepare for battle.

The Ming army in the city was obviously also very nervous and looked very agitated, and the shouts and mournful voices of some officers were distorted.

Li Yuanqing was very calm at this time.

Darkness~~, in fact, is not scary.

The most terrible thing is the darkness before dawn.

gives people beautiful expectations, but it seems to be a rambling wait.

At this time, although there was a little chaos on the head of Ningyuan City, the main structure of the Ming army and the establishment of various departments were still very complete, coupled with the thick walls of Ningyuan City, as long as they could survive this most difficult short 'dark period', the situation was still very clear.

In fact, to a large extent, Li Yuanqing did not expect that the Houjin army would attack the city so soon, and even their camp had not yet been established, which obviously seemed too anxious.

After all, the Changsheng Battalion had already fought with the Houjin Army many times, and they were already very familiar with their routines, and they would never dare to attack the city rashly before the bulldozing offensive reached the city wall.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Li Yuanqing quickly figured out the core of it.

Not every Ming army can have such regular firepower coverage as the Changsheng Battalion, and not every Ming army can have such a strict and harsh defensive system as the Changsheng Battalion.

With the precedent of the defeat of Liuhe, coupled with the fact that this road was almost unimpeded, the old slave and a group of Houjin magnates obviously also wanted to use the method of 'blitzkrieg' to quickly take Ningyuan City in the shortest and fastest time.

As long as they can pull out the 'nail' of Ning Yuancheng in the shortest possible time, their remaining task will only be to 'drive sheep'.

Unfortunately, they obviously underestimated Inspector Yuan's ambition and determination.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

In a moment, with the roar of more than a dozen red-clothed cannons like dragons, birds chirped on the city, and arrows flew one after another, desperately smashing towards the Houjin army that had just entered the range of various firepower.

But the Houjin army had already prepared, all kinds of hangings, protections, animal skins, and shields blocked in front of the chariot, and the crowd was like ants, all shrunk behind the chariot, and under the terrible shouts of the officers of various departments, they continued to slowly advance towards the city.

Seeing that the effect of the first round of firepower coverage was not good, Inspector Yuan was also a little anxious, and he couldn't care about his own safety, so he personally rushed to the red-coated cannon, shouting and ordering the gunners to strike at the Houjin army.

Li Yuanqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed behind Inspector Yuan, and at the same time, closely watched the entire battle situation.

At this time, although the Ming army only had one round of firepower coverage, Li Yuanqing basically understood the firepower regulation of Ningyuan City.

Compared with the traditional Ming army, they are indeed slightly better, but only slightly better.

At this time, the firepower of the Ming army on the head of Ningyuan City seemed to be mighty, but in fact, they were too complicated.

There was basically no cooperation among the ministries.

When many soldiers put their guns out, they didn't even aim, but they just rushed out of the battlements by feeling, pulled the trigger, and quickly retreated regardless of whether they shot or not.

And in the follow-up, there is no continuous firepower supplement, it can only be interspersed with archers, who is free.

Fortunately, behind him are all officers of various departments with waist knives in front of them, otherwise, I am afraid that these recruits will find a corner to hide in a corner if they put a round of guns.

However, the sturdy city of Ningyuan City has helped a lot at this moment.

At this time, although the Houjin army was somewhat tailwind, the fortifications of the Ming army at the head of the city were unconventional, and the hanging households and protection were continuous, and the Houjin army was difficult to wear the protection of the transparent army even if it was a rain of arrows with a tailwind, and it also bought more time for the long-range firepower coverage of the Ming army.

After that, the Jin army did not bulldoze in advance, and if they wanted to rush to the city, they could only use the ladder.

But the rolling wood, stones, gold juice, and stones of the Ming army on the head of the city are about to fill the entire city, and the manpower is also quite abundant.

However, there were many old and spicy archers in the Houjin army, and even if the Ming soldiers only occasionally showed their heads from the hanging houses and battlements, they could always find an opportunity to kill the Ming soldiers.

The battle began at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and soon, almost an hour passed, and it was already in the middle of the hour.

In the almost frantic defense of the Ming army in the city, the Houjin army has begun to show fatigue.

After all, they came from afar, and they launched such a large-scale attack without any rest, and it would be good if they took advantage of the situation, but the fierce resistance of the Ming army made it difficult for them to have any good way, rush to the city, and open the gap.

In addition, the sunset in the west has begun to sink into the twilight, and the gloomy twilight in the west is set off red, and the mood of these Houjin soldiers seems to have been greatly affected.

They no longer dare to rush forward as quickly as before, but most of them are behind various chariots, and they will not show their heads easily.

After holding out for more than half an hour, near the end of the Shen period, the horn of the Houjin Army's main formation finally sounded to collect troops, and the densely packed soldiers of the Houjin Army seemed to have been amnesty, and quickly began to retreat.

The Ming army at the head of the city suddenly cheered, they couldn't believe it, they actually resisted the offensive of the main force of the Houjin army.

Inspector Yuan also laughed, although there were a few twists and turns in the situation, everything was under his control.

He laughed and looked at Li Yuanqing and said, "Li Junmen, the Tartars are nothing more than that!" When you fight against the Tartars, are they like that? ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Back to the words of the lord, I have always believed that the Tartars are like a group of beasts, although they are fierce, as long as they hurt them, they will have a long memory, and they will never mess around easily." ”

Inspector Yuan was in a happy mood: "Not bad." Li Junmen, this metaphor is very good. These Tartars are a bunch of brutes, and as long as they dare to come, the official will definitely let them know what pain is! ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly reminded: "My lord, although the Tartars are retreating at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have any other tricks, we must not be lazy, and we must ensure the orderliness of the defense line." ”

Inspector Yuan was stunned for a moment, but also reacted, and nodded hurriedly: "Not bad." Li Junmen's words are very much in line with my heart. Whoever comes, the official will order, everyone and all departments, must strictly hold the position, and there must be no slack! ”

"Yes!"

…………

Open the door and see the joy.

The entire Ningyuan City was filled with cheerful joy.

In today's battle, although they failed to harvest the head of the Tartars, the Ming army successfully resisted the large-scale offensive of the Houjin army, which invisibly also gave them strong confidence.

Tartar, it seems like that, right? Isn't that a big deal?

Inspector Yuan was not stingy at this time, and immediately ordered the slaughter of dozens of fat pigs to reward the whole army.

Night had fallen, and lights were lit all over the city.

The defense line of the north gate of Ningyuan City, seeing that Inspector Yuan was laughing and having fun with the soldiers and civilians, under the darkness of the lights not far away, Li Yuanqing fell into deep thought.

Although the situation in Ningyuan City is very optimistic, ~~, this means that the Houjin Army is likely to change its thinking in the shortest possible time!

Especially after dark, the sky began to float with snowflakes, which made Li Yuanqing have a bad premonition in his heart.

According to the ability of Inspector Yuan and the regulations of Ningyuan City, the Houjin army wanted to take Ningyuan City, unless the old slave didn't want to live anymore, so he took out all his housekeeping capital and fought with Ning Yuancheng to the death.

But this situation is basically very small.

At this time, outside the Guan, all over western Liaoning, there was basically only Ningyuan, a lonely city.

In other places, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was allowed to run rampant, and he Li Yuanqing himself was still in Ningyuan City, presumably, the old slave would also be afraid and would never play with fire easily.

In the past few years, whether it is in southern Liaoning or eastern Liaoning, the main force of the Houjin army has basically not bargained too much, let alone gained.

The magnates of the Houjin are afraid that they have already gone crazy, and they should now urgently need to plunder the population and materials in western Liaoning to supplement their needs.

This time, it is even more impossible for them to fight hard against Ning Yuan City.

Coupled with the course of history......

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanqing quickly made a decision, he had to leave Ningyuan City and go to Juehua Island in the shortest possible time.

Ningyuan City is fine at this time, but Juehua Island is in danger.

Especially in this weather, the ice on the sea is simply the wings of the main force of Houjin!

If Juehua Island is lost, then ~~~, the so-called Ning Yuan's great victory, it's not even a fucking joke!

The more than 2,000 ships of all kinds on Juehua Island at this time, plus the granary in the city, are basically the lifeblood of the entire western Liaoning!

Even if he wants to offend Inspector Yuan, Li Yuanqing can only focus on the overall situation.

Quickly came to Inspector Yuan, who was drinking with a group of generals, Li Yuanqing whispered: "My lord, there is an urgent matter in my humble position, I want to discuss with my lord, and I would like to ask my lord to take a step to speak?" ”

"Huh?"

Inspector Yuan drank a few glasses of wine, and when he was full of wine and proud of the spring breeze, he suddenly heard Li Yuanqing's words and couldn't help but be stunned.

However, in the past few days of getting along, Inspector Yuan has already formed a certain sense of trust in Li Yuanqing, at this time, Li Yuanqing talked to him, even if he was a little displeased, but he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "You drink first, and the official will come when he goes!" ”

As he spoke, he followed Li Yuanqing to a pile of rolling logs, where the wind was slightly lighter, and he could hear it clearly when he spoke quietly.

"Li Junmen, what's the matter? But what do you think? Thought of a strategy to break the main force of Houjin? ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly laughed in a low voice: "Back to my lord, the strategy to break the enemy, there is really no humble position for the time being." However, the humble position found a loophole in the defense of our army. ”

"Huh? Leak? ”

When Inspector Yuan heard this, his face was obviously displeased.

Isn't that a fucking joke!

Ningyuan City, which he personally guarded by Inspector Yuan, would there be loopholes?

This Li Yuanqing, don't you want to get mixed up?

Of course, Li Yuanqing sensed Inspector Yuan's displeasure, and hurriedly smiled cautiously: "My lord, this loophole, of course, is not in Ningyuan City. Ning Yuan City is solid at this time, unless the Tartar has wings, there is no way to take Ning Yuan City at all. The humble position is talking about Juehua Island. ”
