The action of the Jiangning battalion accelerated, which was Su Tiancheng's request, after the front army and the Chinese army converged, the number of people was as high as more than 40,000, and the captured war horses played a huge role to ensure the speed of the march.

Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou and others, carefully analyzed, according to Azig's ideas, they will definitely adopt the form of a strong attack, and strive to take the city of Changping Mansion in the shortest possible time, around Changping Mansion, there is no army to reinforce, not to mention that Azig still has 70,000 troops, even if there are army reinforcements, the roads before and after are blocked, this is like catching a turtle in an urn, the situation of Changping Mansion is desperate, and it is impossible to hold out for a long time.

In this analysis, everyone came to the conclusion that only the Jiangning battalion could support Changping Mansion and prevent Azig from achieving his goal.

There is no tactical arrangement, that is, to advance with a dull head, relying on the artillery battalion to open the gap, and the large army to force through, and directly reinforce Changping Province, other than that, there is no good way.

This is indeed a risk, if Azig doesn't care about anything, leads an army of 70,000, and fights desperately with the Jiangning battalion, it will eventually be a lose-lose outcome, however, Su Tiancheng has such confidence, Azig does not dare to take risks, Houjin does not have so many sergeants to waste, and their total number of soldiers is far less than that of the Ming Dynasty, although it is said that the Ming Dynasty's guards have some taste of existence in name only.

Azig led this time are all elite soldiers, authentic Manchu Eight Banners, not to mention Azig, even Huang Taiji, and he is reluctant to abandon so many soldiers in the territory of Daming.

The soldiers of the scout battalion were the hardest men, risking their lives to detect the whereabouts of the Tartars and provide accurate information on the movement of the large army.

In the midst of the scouts' steady stream of information, the army was only twenty miles away from the 20,000 Tartars who defended it, and they fought again. It's imminent.

The intelligence is very clear, the 20,000 Tartars who defended chose a hillside, condescending, and the official road passed through the middle of the hillside, if the Jiangning battalion passed through the official road. The Tartars can have too many means of attack, stones and wood are weapons, which will cause heavy casualties in the Jiangning battalion, besides, once the official road in the middle of the valley is blocked, it will be difficult to advance and retreat, and it will be compressed in the middle of the hillside, and there will only be a beating.

If you bypass the official road, there is also a road to cross. But the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the distance is much farther, and it is estimated that after bypassing, Azig has already attacked the city of Changping.

Rushing from here, only five miles away from the city of Changping Prefecture, the cavalry rushed over, and the time for half an hour arrived.

This seemingly dangerous situation. But it is not what Jiang Ningying is afraid of.

The Jiangning battalion had an artillery battalion, and the artillery was once hailed as the god of war by a great man hundreds of years later. This fully illustrates the tremendous role of artillery, and it is said that the Tartars have already suffered heavy losses from the artillery battalions, and it is impossible to imagine that this ambush will be carried out according to the old tune, completely without taking into account the possible blows caused by the artillery.

More than a hundred artillery pieces were ready.

As Bi Maokang gave the order, the deafening sound of cannon rang out again.

The artillery roared at the hillsides on either side. One by one, the shells fell on the hillsides on both sides, the trees were blown away, and the fragments of stones flew everywhere, and occasionally blood could be seen.

Bi Maokang also let go. Flowering shells are very precious, and firing them one after another can easily make the artillery scrapped, such a waste is distressing, but the situation is different, in order to open the passage as soon as possible and reduce the casualties of the soldiers, it is impossible to consider others.

The artillery was fired for half an hour.

The time was ripe, and Su Tiancheng led the front army and began to rush towards the official road in the valley.

Like a whirlwind of clouds, a steady stream of cavalry began to enter the valley.

The artillery battalion continued to fire at the hillside on both sides, and shells exploded on the hillside one after another.

Amid the sound of explosions, the front army began to pass through the valley without encountering any resistance.

When he successfully passed through the valley, Su Tiancheng's face showed a smile, this hand was really good, and it achieved unexpected results, the Tartars obviously did not expect it, although the artillery battalion was unwilling to cause heavy casualties to the Tartars, after all, the slopes on both sides were very large, and the Tartars could avoid the shells as long as they retreated a little, but the front army passed through the valley safely, which was a victory.

The city of Changping is in jeopardy.

The attack of the Tartars, one round is more powerful than the other, the Ming army on the city wall, heavy casualties, I don't know where the Tartars got so many bows and arrows, not to mention the archery skills of the Tartars, many Ming soldiers, before they have time to perform, they were killed by bows and arrows, boiling oil and feces are used up, and the stones are almost thrown, and the bows and arrows are about to run out.

The losses of the Tartars were not very large, and the loss of more than a thousand people was nothing compared to the army of 20,000.

Zhang Fengyi began to despair, at this time, the people who had been temporarily formed had already begun to climb the city wall to kill the enemy.

These ordinary people, who have never had the experience of fighting, almost screamed in their mouths when they came up rashly, and they were at a loss for what to do, and some even trembled and couldn't stand steadily.

The corpse on the city wall, too late to clean up, some officers suggested, is it not to use the corpse to smash the siege of the Tartars, this suggestion was sternly rejected by Zhang Fengyi, who dares to do this, drink to quench thirst, in this way, there is no need for the Tartars to attack, the Ming army will immediately mutiny.

The battle has entered a white-hot phase.

Azig was red-eyed, constantly urging the attack, he had already made up his mind that he must capture the Ming Dynasty officials in Changping Mansion alive, and after capturing Changping Mansion City, nothing will be left, and he will kill and burn all of them and rob them all.

A scout came to report on it.

Soon, Azig stood up suddenly, glared at the scout, and reached for the sword, a somewhat hideous expression on his face.

The faces of the surrounding strategists and several officers also changed.

The advisor walked up to Azig and said something with an impassioned expression.

Azig looked at the strategist fiercely, and it seemed that the strategist opposite was the Ming army in the city of Changping Mansion.

But the strategist did not flinch, and continued to babble something, and the voice was still very loud, and as the strategist spoke, the rest of the people began to speak.

The violent look on Azig's face became heavier and heavier, and he looked like he couldn't control it.

Finally, an elderly officer walked up to Azig's side and whispered something, and Azig's body trembled as if he had suddenly come to his senses.

The golden gong struck.

The attacking Tartars retreated like a tide.

Under the city wall, some Tartar corpses were left, including those of the Ming army, which looked particularly bloody.

Zhang Fengyi, who was already a little unstable on his feet, was stunned by such a scene, what is this for, seeing that the city of Changping Mansion is about to be attacked, what will the Tartars call for the gold to withdraw their troops, this is too abnormal, can it be said that the Tartars need to recuperate and start a more violent attack, it is completely unnecessary.

A few minutes later, several Tartars rushed to the bottom of the city wall and began to collect the corpses of the Tartars, and the Ming army on the city wall watched without any movement.

Cleaning up the battlefield means taking a break, or at least not attacking right away.

The Ming army guarding the city of Changping has been crippled, and the losses of more than 10,000 Ming troops have reached more than half. It can be said that if the Tartars launch a general attack, they can capture the city of Changping in the blink of an eye.

The Tartars outside the city walls began to assemble in an orderly manner and slowly began to retreat.

Many soldiers and civilians guarding the city wall slowly stood up and watched this scene.

In the blink of an eye, something happened suddenly.

Countless bows and arrows were shot at the city wall, these bows and arrows were ignited rockets, and the soldiers and civilians who were caught off guard were shot by the rockets and became fire men, rolling on the city wall, and some even fell directly off the city wall.

Zhang Fengyi's official robe was also set on fire, and the sergeants around him hurriedly extinguished it.

Zhang Fengyi's heart was cold, he thought that the Tartars were about to launch a general attack.

The officers were roaring, asking the sergeants and the people to cheer up, to prepare for the general attack of the Tartars, to do their best, to see the will of heaven, and that when the city was broken, everyone should not think about their lives, and there was no place to escape.

Morale is extremely low, everyone is thinking, there is no hope, after the city is broken, there is nothing, the ferocity of the Tartars, everyone knows the way, outside the city of Changping Mansion, where the Tartars pass, there are no living people, there are no intact houses, not to mention the news that the city was slaughtered, the officials of Changping Mansion are all aware of the Tao.

Just when the many soldiers and civilians were barely bracing up and preparing to start resisting, they were stunned by the situation, and the Tartars began to retreat on a large scale.

No one knows what Lu Dao is for, including Zhang Fengyi, and they don't know what this is for.

Seeing that the city of Changping Mansion was about to be breached, why did the Tartars retreat, Zhang Fengyi knew the number of troops of the Tartars, such a large army, I am afraid that no army would dare to attack directly, unless it was the Jiangning battalion.

As if a layer of light appeared in his mind, Zhang Fengyi suddenly walked to the battlements, looked at the retreating Tartar, and muttered to himself.

"Could it be that the Jiangning battalion is here, the Jiangning battalion has come to the rescue of Changping Fucheng......

The officers around him and the officials of the Changping Mansion heard this, and everyone didn't care if it was true or not, and immediately someone began to propagate, saying that the Jiangning camp had come to the rescue of Changping Mansion City by the emperor's holy decree, and the Tartars were afraid of the Jiangning Battalion and retreated, and did not dare to attack Changping Mansion City.

The news spread like a gust of wind.

This news greatly encouraged the officials and soldiers and the people, and soon, some young and strong people who were temporarily incorporated into the army and were ready to go to the city wall to resist went up to the city wall one after another, looking at the retreating Tartars, with a smile on their faces, and even someone said that the Tartars were not very good, and it was not that they were not able to attack the city of Changping Mansion, these people completely forgot that just a few minutes ago, Changping Mansion was already on the verge of breaking the city.
