On October 25th, the north of Mopan City was filled with gunsmoke, two miles outside the city were full of black oppressive crowds, all kinds of flags were filled, with the low horn constantly sounding, a team of Houjin Bu rode under the city to gather into a piece, all kinds of weapons reflected the color of the sun, Yang Bo looked from the city, there were several Jiala phalanxes on the left and right wings of Houjin, and there were banners of Mongolian departments on the side of these phalanxes......

"War is finally on!" Someone beside Yang Bo muttered, as a defender, every day when he saw Houjin swaggering outside the city to build equipment, looking unhurried, this kind of contempt was a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders.

"It seems that Huang Taiji has made up his mind, so let's go and prepare, right?" Yang Bo heard the horn outside the city getting more and more poignant, and waved his hand lightly.

When Yang Bo returned to the enemy tower to direct the battle, far away, countless clouds of gunpowder suddenly appeared on the horizon two miles away, like white clouds that swelled up in an instant, and then directly in front of the city head, several huge iron with a scream spun and rushed towards the city wall.

Bang!

The first piece of iron slammed against the wall, and despite the tiredness of the paving, how could this soft cushion of the earth withstand the ferocious impact of the iron? More than a dozen pieces of masonry behind the tired answer were immediately crushed, and there were constantly small pieces of stones stabbing down, the iron was blocked and rushed up to the battlement, and bounced on the wall of the battlement several times, and finally the kinetic energy was released, and it smashed into the soil under the city, and on the position of Houjin, more and more gunpowder smoke rose, and more than a dozen artillery pieces of various calibers continued to roar, and the head of the grinding city was quiet. Not even a single defender was seen, let alone a cannon shot back.

Huang Taiji was holding a small clairfront mirror and observing the movement of the city, which was captured from Lushun during the Battle of Xushan. Abatai used it a few times and dedicated it to Huang Taiji, and Houjin also had a few pairs of clairvoyance lenses from the Francophone area, but the clairvoyant lenses made by Lushun were clearer and could be seen far away. It is kept in a box on weekdays.

All the Beylers insisted on attacking the south gate, because they hoped to completely seal off the city of Mopan, but the Ming army had a water city at the south gate. There are many warships in and outside the port, once the Houjin wants to attack the south gate, they must endure the fierce shelling of the Ming warships, and Huang Taiji also understands that if the Mopan City is not closed, the Ming army relies on the sailors to obtain a steady stream of supplies. The Eight Banners and the Ming Army are equivalent to fighting attrition. But Huang Taiji was still determined to go to war, first, he knew through his meticulous work that Lushun had never been treated by the imperial court, and the food and salary had been in arrears. Second, it is now almost the end of October, and it is not a few months before the Liaohai Sea is frozen, once the Ming army and naval division cannot support, the defeat of the Ming army in Mopan City is just around the corner. Therefore, Huang Taiji put the breakthrough point at the north gate, which is also no way. The terrain on the east and west sides of Mopan City is narrow, and the troops cannot be deployed, in such a narrow place it is easy to be hit by the concentrated attack of the Ming army's firearms, presumably Yang Bo has already had an overall plan when he built Mopan City, Huang Taiji does not think that he is following Yang Bo's footsteps, no matter how strong the city is, no matter how good the terrain is, as long as the two sides are determined, in the end, they still have to rely on their lives to distinguish the winner.

Just when Huang Taiji observed, two fires suddenly appeared in the clairvoyant mirror, two clouds of gunpowder smoke rose from the city, the two artillery pieces arranged by the Ming army at the head of the city began to fight back, Huang Taiji subconsciously shrunk his neck, and soon two seven or eight pounds of iron drew a parabola, sent out a huge scream over the soldiers in front, and smashed on the ground, the rear team immediately formed a big chaos, screams and panic one after another, although the two irons did not take away human lives, but caused huge chaos to those coated formations, many white tooth horns in the whole team, A white-armored soldier drew his bow and shot an escaping coat to death, and the first casualties of Jin after the siege began.

After the roar of the golden cannon array, from time to time a shot of iron burst out of the cannon chamber, towards the distant city head, Huang Taiji fixed his mind, raised the clairvoyant mirror again, the city head from time to time was hit by a shot of iron, raised a large piece of smoke and dust, and many large and small gravel flew everywhere, but the Ming army was still silent.

"Strange, the Ming artillery is also calm?" Huang Taiji frowned slightly, and the silence of the Ming army made his mood a little heavy.

After the golden artillery team played three or four rounds, because the barrel was hot, it also began to fall silent, the gunpowder smoke on the position gradually spread, and the majestic figure of a large general's cannon was also revealed, as the sound of the cannon stopped, the drum and horn of the Houjin attack beat up passionately, those who had already been ready to run to their own position, began to push the heavy shield car, more than 80 rushed out of the shield car to push, the coat pushed the watchtower, the stacked bridge, and the ladder car with two wooden wheels, This kind of ladder car is more versatile than a single ladder, and the protection is also stronger, the game ladder car is equipped with a shield, a winch, a grappling hook, and some ladder cars even have a small niche protected by cowhide, and more than a dozen people hiding in the niche can dig the city. After the shield car and other equipment crossed the artillery position, Huang Taiji waved his hand, and the two formations on the left and right wings began to move slowly in the sound of drums and trumpets, today is a tentative attack on Mopan City, so only 800 armor soldiers were dispatched on the left and right wings, and an average of 100 people in the eight banners, in addition to the three hundred armed clothes that were responsible for the siege vanguard, together with the Mongolian vests, a total of more than 4,000 people were dispatched, as long as it could consume one-third of the Ming army's attack today, it would be considered a success, and those who had just been captured from the Xuanda area were used as coolies, filled, There are also more than 5,000 people in carts, collecting corpses, etc.

"Hey!"

A coat was almost parallel to the ground, he roared, and struggled to push a heavy shield cart, under the shield cart shrouded more than a dozen ragged, also skinny coats, they step by step, the shield cart wooden wheels made a tooth-sore squeak, painfully moving slowly forward, Yu Xuezhong was in armor, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and carrying a leather whip in the other, and was supervising these coats with murderous energy.

"Smack!"

Yu Xuezhong did not hesitate to drop a whip, and the whip licked the back of a coat like a snake, and the tattered clothes parted on both sides. Immediately blood oozed from the skin inside, and the grave was heaped, and the coat staggered in pain. But he didn't dare to say anything, he bent down stiffly, kicked out two dirt pits on the ground with the soles of his feet, his two trembling feet pressed against the ground, and the green tendons on his arms and forehead fluttered straight up.

"Work hard for Lao Tzu, who dares to be lazy Lao Tzu immediately beheaded him!" Yu Xuezhong roared angrily, their Niu Lu had three shield carts. Five ladder cars were to be pushed, and this shield car obviously slowed down the pace of others, and Yu Xuezhong was afraid that he would leave a bad impression in the heart of the new Master Niu Lu. Urging along the way, making wishes, threatening, whipping, all kinds of means were exhausted, and this shield car finally caught up with the brigade with the efforts of Yu Xuezhong, and the entire mill city was two miles away. Hundreds of various siege vehicles in waves. Swept towards the city......

Due to time constraints, the equipment made this time is relatively rough, and there is a considerable shortage of cowhide and other materials, so the shield car can only be hastily brushed with a few layers of soil as a protective layer, God knows if it can block the Ming army's firearm bombardment? At least Yu Xuezhong knew that he didn't dare to hide under the shield cart.

Yu Xuezhong kept in mind Grelan's advice and deliberately kept a certain distance from the crowd, but the swing teeth that followed him more than twenty steps closely behind him made him feel a lot of pressure, and these swing teeth were holding strong crossbows in their hands. These people are skilled in archery, not to mention people in twenty steps. Even a finch can't escape their sharp arrows, this siege war Khan issued a strict order, and those who dare to hesitate will be killed, so Yu Xuezhong saw that he was gradually approaching the city of the Ming army, although he was extremely nervous, he didn't even dare to look back, and Gree, as the leader, supervised the battle at the back, and couldn't take care of him.

Yu Xuezhong was afraid of death, the innermost layer wore chain mail, then iron armor, and the outermost also obeyed the advice and wore a cotton armor inlaid with iron sheets, Gerry Lan said that this could effectively prevent the Ming army's firearms, but in the hot sun, Yu Xuezhong, who was wearing triple iron armor, was so hot that his body was like a bucket fished out, and the beads of sweat dripping down from time to time, Yu Xuezhong was extremely uncomfortable, the three-layer iron armor was not only hot, but also dead and heavy, and Yu Xuezhong, who was thin and weak, was tired enough, he only hoped to capture the city as soon as possible, and end his pain as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yu Xuezhong pushed the helmet on his head, looking at the fluttering battle flags on the city from a distance, and the black muzzle of a door, those coats may not know that they have entered the death line, this distance is the strike range of the Ming army's artillery at the head of the city, there are not many white flag armor soldiers who can come back alive from the battle of Fuzhou, but the horror of the Ming army has been spread among other armor soldiers, especially the sniper battle at the north gate of Fuzhou is their eternal nightmare, and the superior forces led by Azig were blocked at the north gate for more than three hours, In the end, the dumplings were wrapped by the Ming army on both sides, according to those armor soldiers, the corpses on both sides of the North City were piled up as high as a hill, but those Ming troops were like stones in the river, no matter how the white flag was impacted, it was firmly nailed to the north gate without taking a step back, Yu Xuezhong also experienced the Xushan Resistance Battle, he and Gree Lan knew more about the ferocity of these Ming troops than others, and Yu Xuezhong was not very confident in whether he could come back alive.

"Gotta come back alive!" Yu Xuezhong secretly encouraged himself, while looking around and preparing to find a suitable terrain to lie on the ground at any time, he now has three coats, and thirty acres of good land, a happy life is waiting for him in front, as long as he can go back alive this time!

At this moment, the red light on the city wall in the distance suddenly flashed continuously, and a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rushed into the sky!

Yu Xuezhong opened his mouth, he wanted to shout but couldn't, he looked stupidly at the countless dark iron swooping towards him, he didn't have time to react at all,

Bang!

The first iron to arrive slammed into the ground, shoveling a large amount of splashed dirt, the iron made a large hole in the ground and flew forward again, and the top corner of a shield cart that was blocking the path of the iron was taken, and in the splash of sawdust, the shield cart spun sideways, and the iron was blocked and bounced on the ground twice, and dug deep into the dirt.

At this time, the screams came back, and many of the coatings of the cart below were thrown out by the spinning shield cart, and more coatings were brought by the flying sawdust, and those sharp sawdust were fiercely inserted into their unprotected bodies and faces, although the injuries were not serious, but the pain caused them to howl loudly, just when Xuezhong shrunk his neck, more iron balls quickly pierced into the line, and the wave composed of this siege vehicle suddenly stopped advancing, and the entire formation was twisted and chaotic, Every sixty steps on the head of the Ming army, there is a swarthy cannon barrel exposed, Yu Xuezhong probably counted about thirteen or fourteen guns, and there are many six-pounder barrels on the big corner towers on both sides, just now the Ming army was just six artillery test firing, but the blow to their side was huge, many of them couldn't stand the pressure of the artillery blow, and their spirits collapsed instantly, they either screamed and fled to the rear, or lay on the ground motionless,

Yu Xuezhong looked up into the distance, gave up the temptation to dodge, and ran up with a few swings or bows and arrows behind him, or ran up with a sharp blade, Yu Xuezhong did not dare to hesitate, and immediately rushed to the shield car that was brought by Tiezi just now, and lashed at those who were lying on the ground and wailing and screaming.

"Dog minion, hurry up!" Yu Xuezhong whipped a Bao Yi who was holding his eyes, and then whipped it to a Bao Yi beside him who was holding his legs and screaming, and when he raised the whip again, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the Bao Yi half knelt on the ground and stretched out his palm tremblingly towards Yu Xuezhong, his two palms were dripping with blood, just now the shield cart rotated violently, the wooden handle of his cart suddenly broke, and countless dense wooden thorns all pierced into his palm, and a big thorn even directly penetrated the palm of his hand and drilled out from the back of his hand!

Syllable!

Yu Xuezhong quickly came to his senses, slapped him with more than a dozen whips, and scolded angrily while smoking: "Dog minion, get up and push the cart, damn, whoever wants to fall to the ground and pretend to be dead and lazy, you don't have to get up if you see it!" ”

Under Yu Xuezhong's persecution, the miserable Bao Yi slowly got up, and the Bao Yi with injured hands looked at Yu Xuezhong with a deep look of hatred on his face, and reluctantly put his bloody hand on the push rod of the shield cart.

"Mom XX, Lao Tzu is saving you, Fan Jian, you are really fucking cheap" Yu Xuezhong was furious in his heart, approached the Baoyi and scolded, the voice was not loud but it happened to let him hear, this Baoyi was not someone else, it was one of the three Baoyi assigned to him, I heard that it was Datongren, and the other two Baoyi were assigned to push the ladder car, and I don't know what life and death are now.

Although these coats did not appreciate it, but under the threat of Yu Xuezhong, they began to push the shield cart to move slowly, if you look down from above, the long formation resumed after panicking, but the current formation is crooked, and it is no longer as neat as before.

The warlord's swing tooth lean stretched his bow and arrows, and shot all the coats who turned over and fled back to death, and a few of the wrappers lying on the ground were a little panicked when they saw those swing teeth slowly walking in, and got up from the ground and wanted to run back to the team, but it was too late, countless crossbow arrows flew over, nailing them to the ground one by one, and several vests rushed up with knives, and saw that there were still arrows still writhing on the ground, and they were at their necks.

Yu Xuezhong didn't look back, he knew the fate of these coats, he didn't have time to pay attention to other things, his two eyes were staring at the opposite city wall, the Ming army's artillery firing was different from Houjin, they had always been artillery salvos, giving the opponent the biggest blow, just now the six artillery guns fired to listen to those veterans say, it was the Ming army's ballistic or something before the salvo, he was silently calculating the time, soon, the Ming army's earth-shaking salvo was about to start, Yu Xuezhong tried his best to suppress the beating heart, no matter how the armor soldiers behind him threatened him made up his mind, you must find a chance to get through, or you will never get through!

On the cruel battlefield, Bao Yi Yu Xuezhong grew up quickly...... (To be continued......)
