The Jurchens were still striding forward, and although some of them were wounded, they were not fatal wounds, and they seemed to them acceptable.

But as the distance closes, the power of the Divine Arm Bow grows stronger and stronger.

Some of the Jurchens in the front row were even shot with shields, and even most of the arrows were submerged in their bodies.

If the conditions for treatment are good, these people will almost certainly die.

Without the cover of the shield-wielding infantry in the front row, the casualties of the infantry in the rear immediately increased.

Some arrows even pierced the body of the soldier in front of him, and then stuck in the body of the soldier behind.

The three columns of the Beiwei army kept taking turns shooting arrows, and the rain of arrows really did not stop for a moment.

More and more Jurchens' iron armor was shot through and then fell to the ground with serious injuries.

A very small number of self-effaced Jurchens also began to shoot arrows into the sky, a small number of arrows into the sky, and then descended on the Beiwei army.

But if you want to shoot far, you can't be too heavy.

The light arrow also means that the penetration is insufficient, and after a distance of 150 steps, even those crossbowmen with divine arms will be bounced away by the iron armor on their bodies.

The archery armor is thirty kilograms of iron armor, and its defensive power is much stronger than that of the Jurchen chain mail.

At this time, those cowardly Xue and Iron Eagle Rui also stepped forward one after another.

They raised their stiff bows and compound bows and made the same movements.

Unlike those Jurchens, all of them were people with tiger power, all of them had a hard bow, and their archery skills were superb.

Pick up the bow and they are no less powerful than the English longbowmen.

A rain of arrows shot quickly into the sky, and then fell heavily in the ranks of the Jurchens.

The Jurchens in chain mail were not hurt much, and the shooters in leather armor were miserable.

Some arrows pierced through their armor and pierced their bodies.

The archers immediately let out a terrible scream.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji's face was a little solemn.

It doesn't matter if the Han people have powerful bows and crossbows, after all, this has always been the strength of the Han people.

It's just that when did those Han people have such strong archers.

It turned out to be such a strong bow, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them.

It was at this time that the cannon at the head of the city finally rang out.

With the exception of the three eagle guns, which targeted the remnants of the artillery, all the others targeted the infantry.

All of these cannons were equipped with scattered projectiles, and the dense projectiles rained down on the shield-wielding infantry at the front.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

“……”

Suddenly, there was a continuous scream in the Jurchen formation, and then the array in the front row of them seemed to have been bitten, and a large number of shield-wielding soldiers fell down with blood from their mouths, and those shields were also torn apart.

In the face of the shotgun of heavy artillery, any shield is almost like papier-mâché.

The Jurchens behind were extremely frightened, and the power of these shotguns was really terrifying.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lu Yan's face.

The Jurchens are finished!

Sure enough, there was no cover for shield-wielding infantry.

The power of the Divine Arm Bow has finally been fully exerted.

Bursts of arrows rained down, and those trivials were like papier-mâché in front of it, with no effect.

A large number of Jurchens fell down in rows as if they were harvesting wheat, and many people felt a pain in their stomachs, and they looked down to find that a bloody hole had appeared in their abdomen.

All of a sudden, the Jurchens screamed endlessly.

Some Jurchen archers were in pain and shot arrows at the back of the army.

However, their arrows either reached the front of the formation, or were blocked by the iron armor of the Beiwei army, and they could inflict very little damage on the Beiwei army.

As the most powerful weapon of the Han people against the northern nomads for thousands of years, the crossbow finally showed its style at this moment, and it is the best of the crossbows.

Seeing this, the Ming army at the head of the city was thunderous with joy.

Amin was so distressed that his face was distorted, these were all his subordinates.

In fact, since Nurhachi killed his father, although he is very deferential on the surface, he has already had the idea of establishing his own portal in his heart, and how can he set up his own portal without these subordinates.

"Old eight, should we withdraw those soldiers first, this battle looks a little difficult to fight."

Dai Shan said with some pity.

If he had known this, he would not have been able to do so.

Huang Taiji didn't answer him immediately, and he fell into deep thought as he watched those big battles.

This Ming army is so weird, when did the Ming army have such a powerful bow and crossbow.

Hasn't the Ming army always been dominated by firearms?

In the face of these Ming troops, the Jurchens were almost slaughtered one-sidedly.

Thinking about the extremely long-range cannons and powerful archers before, I don't know why, Huang Taiji has a feeling that the opponent in front of him is not the Ming army at all.

Seeing that Huang Taiji didn't answer, Amin hurriedly touched him again.

At this time, Huang Taiji came back to his senses, and at this time, those Jurchens did not even fill a bag of soil into the trench.

The Han soldiers who charged with mud bags were shot and killed by the enemy without exception.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji was frustrated.

So he said, "Then Mingjin will withdraw his troops." ”

Hearing this, Amin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Withdrawn so soon?"

Tong Yangzhen said without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Damn, you bastard, don't you think Lao Tzu's men haven't died enough?"

Amin slapped Tong Yang hard, and then scolded.

"This ...... It's not ......"

Tong Yangxing was stunned by Amin for a while, and it was only then that he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Alright, Amin, take your breath. That's not what Tong forehead means. ”

Huang Taiji hurriedly relieved the siege.

"I've tested the enemy's strength almost to the test, and I know everything I need to know, and if I continue to fight, it will only increase casualties. Next, we should go all out to build siege equipment, and when everything is ready, we can take Zhenjiang Fort in one go. ”

"Lord Baylor is wise."

Tong Yangxing covered his beaten red and swollen cheeks and said flatteringly.

After seeing the Jurchens withdraw, all the Ming troops cheered loudly.

But Lu Yan had no intention of letting them go.

"Do you dare to fight!"

"Do you dare to fight!"

"Do you dare to fight!"

The soldiers under the walls shouted loudly as they banged on their shields.

More and more Ming troops joined the shouting procession, and the voices of 2,000 people merged into a great torrent.

was so angry that all the Jurchens were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood, this group of Ming soldiers was really too vicious.

In order to avoid being by the Ming army, Huang Taiji ordered the troops to retreat three miles back again and camp.

After this battle, Amin counted the losses of his troops and found that more than 200 of his men were killed, more than 200 were seriously wounded, and more than 400 were lightly wounded.

And those seriously injured wounded were in danger of dying at any time, which made him so distressed that he almost shed tears.

As for how many of those Han soldiers died, he didn't care at all.

In his eyes, a hundred of those Han soldiers were not worth as much as one of his subordinates.

Unlike the dejected Jurchens, the Ming army was jubilant.

After the victory, Mao Wenlong immediately killed pigs and sheep, held a feast, rewarded meritorious soldiers, and all of them had a full meal.

But in the next few days, no matter how provocative Lu Yan and the others were, the Jurchens just hung up the war-free card, and then built siege equipment, but they did not send troops.

However, this also made Mao Wenlong and his subordinates feel a storm of momentum, and then I am afraid that if there is no war, it will be a shocking battle.

They didn't dare to be careless, and they didn't dare to pull down one thing when they arranged for people to be on duty at night.

Of course, Huang Taiji has not been idle these days.

In addition to building siege equipment, he also sent people to capture some residents near Zhenjiang Fort, and tortured some information about Zhenjiang Fort from their mouths, and also had a preliminary understanding of the enemies of Zhenjiang Fort.

Five days later, the siege equipment was finally almost built, and Huang Taiji discussed the siege with Amin and them again.

Huang Taiji had a smile on his face: "After our horse scouting in the past few days, I have discovered some interesting things. There was a big difference between the Ming army defending the city to the west and the south, and the last time we encountered it was the troops defending the western wall. ”

At this he paused.

"The armor and equipment of this army are very sophisticated, mainly cold weapons, supplemented by a large number of artillery and firearms, and you have also seen their combat effectiveness, which is quite good."

Hearing this, Amin's face was a little ugly, his troops had suffered enough last time.

"Their leader is called Xiang Yu, known as the overlord, it is said that this person is the same as the ancient overlord, the same eight feet tall, the same martial arts, and they are a group of horse thieves who have just taken refuge in Mao Wenlong."

Speaking of this, a sneer appeared on Huang Taiji's face.

"Xiang Yu?"

Hearing this, Dai Shan was stunned at first, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

"It really makes me laugh, there is such a person who is not self-sufficient, and he is actually compared to the ancient overlord."

Even he had heard of the name of the overlord Xiang Yu, and someone dared to proclaim himself the overlord, which was simply unbelievable.

If people don't know, I don't know how many people will laugh off their big teeth.

Just the thought of him being defeated by a group of horse thieves made him feel extremely unnatural.

"How did you know that?"

Amin asked a little strangely.

"I took some of the inhabitants and tortured them from their mouths."

Huang Taiji said with a smile.

"The city wall guarding the south should be Mao Wenlong's family and some rebels who surrendered to him, although they are numerous, they are all traditional Ming troops, and you also know the combat effectiveness of the Ming army."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's face showed a trace of disdain.

"You mean we should focus on the south."

Dai Shan said.

"That's right, my plan is to launch a full-scale attack on Zhenjiang Fort tomorrow, and I must fight Zhenjiang Fort in one go. What do you think of a feint attack on the southwest wall by a force to contain the enemy on the west wall, and then the main force of the attack is placed on the south side? ”

Huang Taiji asked.

Although Nu Erhachi did not say who was the leader in this battle, Huang Taiji is the son of **Hachi, and now **Hachi is old, Huang Taiji is very likely to take over the throne.

Therefore, this battle is led by Huang Taiji by default.

But Huang Taiji knows the importance of winning people's hearts, and Amin is still one of the four great beylers, and he has a great say in taking over as the Great Khan, so he discusses with Amin no matter what.

"Alright then, let's focus on attacking the southern wall."

Amin thought for a moment and said.

"So who's going to do it next? Are you coming or am I coming? ”

Huang Taiji asked again.

"This?"

Speaking of this, Amin couldn't help but hesitate.

I thought it would be just a smooth battle, but I didn't expect the number of enemies to be so large.

If the main attack is the case, the losses will not be small, and siege battles have always been known for their brutality.

But the enemy on the western wall was also very powerful, and Amin hesitated for a while.

He thought about it, and finally said, "It's better for you to take the lead." ”

Huang Taiji's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Okay then." ”

I hope you don't regret it, Huang Taiji thought secretly.

The next morning, the blue sky was cloudless, and the crisp autumn weather was a great time for an outing.

But at this time, the golden soldiers outside Zhenjiang Fort began to gather in a steady stream.

More than 6,000 horses, from a distance, are really majestic, with banners like forests.

Unlike last time, this time the Jurchens built a large number of siege equipment, including ladders and chariots.

Seeing such a male soldier, Huang Taiji was arrogant, and some male soldiers were in hand, so why worry that Zhenjiang Fort would not be broken.
