Under the towering walls, the sky gradually began to darken, and a low twilight began to envelop the entire land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The camp of the Houjin army has been set down, and there are many bonfires lit everywhere, and there is a direct sound of 'crackling'.

Many slaves, soldiers, and handymen of the Later Jin Army, gathered around the bonfire, roasting leg of mutton, roasting pork chops, roasting chickens and ducks, talking and laughing about the harvest in western Liaoning these days.

Each of them had a happy smile on their face.

From this trip to Liaoxi to the present, even if it is the most humble Han army banner miscellaneous service, at least, he can harvest two or three sheep and a few chickens and ducks.

If you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to get a few.

You can even occupy one or two of them.

This little day~, it's really a god who doesn't change that.

A vigorous bonfire was also lit near Huang Taiji's tent, and Huang Taiji was sitting around the bonfire with his little brother Zilharang, talking and laughing.

It's the end of April, and the north wind is still a little cold, but it can't hurt anyone.

Huang Taiji did not choose to dine inside his big tent, but chose to go outside. He wanted to breathe in the free and free air, looking for the long-lost sense of the world.

Even if this is under the nose of Ning Yuan City and Inspector Yuan.

"Starling, let's be like this, isn't it, isn't it a little too much? The second brother and the fifth brother are all a hundred miles away from us at this time, and we only have less than 4,000 warriors at this time. ”

Although he is still young, he has a maturity and caution that is rare among his peers.

At this time, even though the Houjin Army has taken control of the complete initiative in the war, ~, because of the shadow left by Li Yuanqing before, his temperament is even more cautious than before, for fear of any mistakes.

Huang Taiji took a sip of wine, looked at Ji'er Harang with a smile and said, "Is there still something in my heart that I can't let go?" ”

Zierharang also took a sip of wine and nodded vigorously: "Starling, the Ming army is not without the strength to fight, we must not slack off for half a point." Our Dajin can't afford to make a mistake like Anzhou anymore. ”

Huang Taiji laughed: "Little Liu'er, do you know that at this time, why didn't the starling let you go to fight those small tunbao to accumulate some merits and popularity, but always took you with him?" ”

Zilharang hurriedly said: "Starling thinks like this, naturally there is the intention of the starling, and the younger brother does not dare to figure it out." ”

Huang Taiji laughed: "Little Liu'er, you are a good person, but there are some things that are too careful." Of course, there is an old saying among the Han people, once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of the well rope for ten years. The reason why I brought you here, not for them to come, is to let you see the power of our Dajin warriors! Even if we have fun under the noses of these Ming people, they~~, will never dare to go out of the city for half a step! ”

"Huh? This ......"

At this time, Jierharang also understood Huang Taiji's intentions, and hurriedly said: "Starling, Yuan Chonghuan is also a very intentional person, before, starling, didn't you evaluate him, saying that he looks like Cao Cao?" How can you still ......?"

"Cao Cao?"

Huang Taiji suddenly smiled, "Maybe." Maybe that's what I've said before. But~, Xiao Liu'er, now, I take this sentence back. It's because I've lost my eyes. Yuan Chonghuan is this person, hehe. Adouya. ”

But Ji'er Harang was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Starling, according to our previous news, Ning Yuancheng is afraid that there are more than 10,000 elite horsemen at this time. The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention, it is a clever person like Yuan Chonghuan. Starling, let's not go too far with these things, just point to the end. ”

Huang Taiji smiled and took a sip of wine and nodded, "Little Liu'er, what you said is good." That's why I didn't bring the women's prisoner battalion here this time. Scare and scare Ning Yuan, let our main force go farther, it's enough. Naturally, there is no need to cause more trouble. ”

"Starling, then, will we attack the city tomorrow? It's been almost ten days since the expedition, and the warriors are already a little tired. ”

"Huh. Not a siege? ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "Why don't we attack the city?" If we don't attack the city, Yuan Chonghuan is afraid that he will not let us go! ”

Zilharang had already vaguely grasped something, but he was still a little vague, and hurriedly asked, "Starling, you, do you mean ......?"

"Huh. If we don't leave some merits for Yuan Chonghuan and let him deal with the Ming Court, how can he easily let us go? ”

"This ......"

Jierharang also figured out the core of the matter at this time, but he still didn't understand Huang Taiji's intentions, and couldn't help but say again: "Starling, Ningyuan City is strong and well-guarded, if we attack the city, warriors, it is inevitable that we will have to pay a lot of damage." ”

Huang Taiji glanced at Ji'er Harang, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Aren't there still many thorns loyal to Amin in those two Niu Lu under your command?" ”

"Uh......"

Zilharang suddenly penetrated completely, and in an instant, the cold sweat behind his back couldn't stop pouring out......

…………

Early the next morning, the Houjin army began its bulldozing offensive.

At the head of Ningyuan City, Inspector Yuan was closely observing the entire battle situation, and his eyes were already covered with a lot of blood.

Last night, he almost didn't sleep all night, and he had basically cleaned up all the affairs in the city.

At this time, Inspector Yuan was almost 100% sure that even if Huang Taiji came in person, even if the camp size of the Houjin army was not less than 20,000 people, he would never want to threaten Ningyuan City for half a point.

At this time, Zhao Shujiao trotted over quickly, and carefully reported to Inspector Yuan: "Lord Futai, the Tartars' bulldozing offensive is approaching a mile, and the gunners are ready, do we want to come first and give these dog Tartars a dismount?" ”

There were almost more than forty red-clothed cannons in Ningyuan City at this time, and there were as many as fifteen on the north gate side because it was the main defense area, which was also the biggest confidence of Inspector Yuan.

Unlike other Wenchen in the Ming Dynasty, except for playing tricks and spraying people and teasing women at night, there is no difference in being proficient.

Inspector Yuan is a native of Dongguan. Dongguan is adjacent to Macau.

From a young age, Inspector Yuan had many opportunities to come into contact with the Portuguese in Macau, and he had a certain degree of understanding of the sharp firearms of the Portuguese, which were Westerners.

Of course, with Inspector Yuan's temper, he must look down on these white-haired monkeys.

But even if Inspector Yuan is just talking on paper, in this era, when the entire literati elite group of the Ming Dynasty is generally degenerate and corrupt, and it is simply useless, Inspector Yuan is already an extremely capable and talented person.

Otherwise, Sun Chengzong would never have spent so much effort to support him Yuan Inspector to ascend to the throne.

This is also the tragedy of the times.

Although Sun Chengzong is the second place in the top three, the first and the first in the list, he has traveled all over the mountains, rivers, and nine sides of the Ming Dynasty since he was a child.

What a pity!

Sun Chengzong has a lot of talent, but in military affairs, he really has no talent.

Here's a bad example.

The first, second and third leaders in a place have one hand at the top and one with great power, and the second one with administration, but Lao Sun is only suitable for being a third in command, managing the party and the masses, inspecting people, and calming down the relationship between all parties, but he must not be allowed to make decisions and let him make decisions!!

Be.

It was indeed Sun Chengzong who rescued Zhao Shujiao from Liaoyang, and then, after Zhao Shujiao recovered Qiantun, gathered the Liao people in front of him and laid the foundation.

To some extent, it is also Lao Sun's greatest achievement.

Of course, no one can deny that Sun Chengzong, who was the emperor and the elder of the court, was a true loyal patriot and a real national hero.

But in terms of military affairs, in terms of wrists, Mo said that compared with Yu Qian and Zhang Juzheng, he is also a thousand miles behind Xiong Tingbi and Wang Zaijin.

Sun Chengzong's strategy in western Liaoning is basically to entrap one person, but there are few ruthless means to punish him.

But what you need to know is that this is the army, this is the army!

What a devastating mother!

If there are no rules, no military law, where can we make a circle?

Not to mention.

The so-called Liaoxi Jiangmen, or Liaodi Jiangmen Group, has already broken its backbone in the three successive defeats in Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Guangning, and I am afraid that the bone marrow and big tendons have been sucked away by the Tartars.

Because--------

The generals who dare to fight, and the disciples of the generals who dare to fight, have almost all died in these three battles......

Lao Sun handed over the general trend of western Liaoning, and even the national fortune of Daming, to such a group of super 'marathon champions' runners, which can still have a good ......

The hateful thing is, 'There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings'.

And history, just like that, has made a joke that is not funny at all with the Chinese nation, with the 5,000-year glorious history of the Chinese nation, and with the national fortune of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years......

At this time, hearing Zhao Shujiao's careful inquiry, Inspector Yuan slowly shook his head: "Don't worry, wait a while." The main forces of the Tartars have not yet come up. Killing these monkeys is useless. Zhao Shuai, you are personally staring at the artillery battalion, waiting for the official's order at any time! ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Shujiao didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to the red-clothed cannon area, preparing to check it carefully again, for fear that there would be any mistakes.

Ahead, the miscellaneous servants of the Houjin army were like ants, almost three or four thousand people, and they were slowly advancing forward.

It's just that behind them, there are only a few real slaves supervising the formation, and they don't seem to be in a hurry.

If Li Yuanqing is here, I am afraid that I can see at a glance that the fighting spirit of the dog Tartar is not strong, and this is obviously not the rhythm of attacking the city with death.

At this time, Inspector Yuan did see that something was wrong, but unfortunately, how could his eyesight and experience be compared with Li Yuanqing, who had experienced a hundred battles?

Even if the Tartars were just a handyman bulldozing, it had already put great psychological pressure on Inspector Yuan.

It seems that if one is not careful, the Tartar will rush to the city and take away his sweet dreams and his little life.

However, Inspector Yuan was not a mortal after all.

At this time, with his instinctive feeling, he had already realized that this was by no means a good time to open artillery, and exposing Ning Yuancheng's sharp firepower too early was likely to allow the Tartars to have enough defense in the next siege.

He had to be patient a little longer.

But what Inspector Yuan didn't know was that the main force of the Later Jin Army fought against Li Yuanqing and the Changsheng Battalion all year round, and the firepower, especially the defense against artillery, had already been quite perfect.

If it weren't for the sake of leaving him a little thin face for Inspector Yuan, and giving him Inspector Yuan a step down, so that a player like him could continue to stay in Liaoxi, instead of replacing him with a strong figure like Li Yuanqing, Huang Taiji was afraid that even this little miscellaneous work would never be left to him.

The bulldozing offensive of the Houjin army was not fast, and it was very steady.

It was not until mid-noon that they advanced to a position about 800 meters below the city, and several simple earthen walls were erected.

You must know that at this time, the land has just been scorched by the early spring sun, and it has already been completely thawed, and the surface seems to be a little hard, but in fact, it does not take any effort to dig it up.

If the main force of the Houjin army wants to attack the city, as long as it takes one morning, the Houjin soldiers are afraid that they have already rushed to the city.

But at this time, Inspector Yuan was unaware.
