In the first month of the first year of the Apocalypse, the wild boar skin led a large wave of Jiannu to kill Jinzhou, from the south of Liaoyang to Jinzhou along the way, there was no rooster crow, no cooking smoke, and the land was barren.

The snow has not yet melted, otherwise you can still see white bones on both sides of the road.

Production on the Liaodong Peninsula has completely withered, and there may not be a single family of people here for hundreds of miles, who have either been killed or fled from their homes.

It has become a land that cannot create zào wealth, but the wild boar skin does not care, in his opinion, it is enough to continue to rob the line of Quang Ninh, where the Han people produce. It doesn't matter if there is Han production on the Liaodong Peninsula or not, but it can't let the Ming army reoccupy this place, otherwise it will be more passive when looting.

The Ming army had already regrouped on the Quang Ninh front, and if it wanted to break through the Quang Ninh defense line for robbery, it was inevitable to dispatch most of its troops. If the rear was disturbed by the Ming army in the direction of Jinzhou and Phi Dao, then the robbery might be abandoned halfway.

After all, this gang of robbers also has old and young, and the old, weak, women and children are left behind.

This time, the wild boar belt troops attacked Jinzhou, bringing nearly 60,000 troops, while only more than 40,000 troops were left in Shenyang and other places. Obviously, he was not very afraid of the attack of the Ming army on the front line of Guangning, if the Ming army on the front line of Guangning attacked, it would be a big deal to retreat, but they were broken one by one.

Even without retreating, it was already difficult for the Ming army to compete with them in the field. Therefore, the wild boar skin was relieved to take the main force and kill Jinzhou.

After a march, most of the soldiers and horses of the wild boar skin finally came to the north of Jinzhou Pass, fifty miles away. At this time, the wild boar skin immediately sent three oxen with yellow flags to try to attract the defenders in Jinzhou City.

So Jiannu started the show, and the three Jiannu of Niu Lu ran to the city of Jinzhou, swaggering around, but were fired by the city's artillery and arrows. Hundreds of Jiannu were killed on the spot, and the rest of the Jiannu turned around in panic and ran.

As a result, there was no movement at all in Jinzhou Pass. The defenders of the Guannai did not pursue at all, so this group of Jiannu had to run back to the wild boar skin in disgrace.

Seeing that the lure failed, the wild boar skin had to give up the idea of seducing, and led the main force to swagger towards Jinzhou, and stationed five miles away from Jinzhou. Unbeknownst to the boar skins, they were already within range of the heavy artillery.

Thirty heavy cannons had been installed on the walls, but they were all covered with something. Jiannu's scouts ran around the city, and they couldn't see what was underneath, only because it was some materials to defend the city, and they were covered with things to protect them from water and sun. The guns fired just now were all three-catty guns and one-catty guns transported from the royal military factory, and these guns had very good performance, but they were light in weight and had a relatively short firing range, which belonged to the category of field artillery.

The Jinzhou Pass defense line was quickly established because of the advantages of the terrain. The city wall of Jinzhou Pass itself is very strong, and the expansion of the general military seal of Jinzhou Town quickly made this line of defense not worth impregnating. In terms of troops, it has also expanded to more than 20,000 people, and established a garrison of more than 10,000 people. This garrison army is a hardcover soldier selected from the Liao people, and he has a deep hatred with Jiannu, and the military heart is absolutely usable.

Not long ago, a large amount of materials had been transported to Jinzhou Town, and the materials of Jinzhou Pass were enough to last for more than three months, and because Jiannu could not surround the rear, the materials could continue to be sent to Jinzhou Pass.

Even if the Golden State Pass is lost, it can still retreat to the South Pass, which can be described as a double level.

"Jiannu really dares to come!" Zhang Kuantu climbed to the top of the city and looked at the Jiannu army stationed in the distance with a telescope, looking very relaxed. When Jiannu was halfway through, Zhang Kuotu had already received an urgent report, and he could roughly know that Jiannu was here to attack Jinzhou. Therefore, just now the three Jiannu of Niu Lu were 'on the catwalk' under the city, and Zhang Kuantu did not pursue these Jiannu.

"Lord Commander, Jiannu has already entered the range of our heavy artillery, do you want to give them a few cannons first?" A staff officer asked.

"Don't worry, that will scare Jiannu away." Zhang Kuotu shook his head and said, if Jiannu found that there were a large number of heavy artillery on Jinzhou Pass, he would definitely be scared away, there is no doubt about it. Jiannu's own ability to attack fortifications is poor, and it is basically impossible for them to attack the city under the blow of artillery.

The most common siege method used by Jiannu was to rely on the traitors in the city as an internal response, and if this strategy did not work, they would find a way to lure the defenders of the city out to fight them in the field. If it doesn't work, then simply surround the point and send reinforcements, and surround the city for several months or even more than half a year. If the Ming army dared to support, it would fight the reinforcements of the Ming army, and if it did not dare to support, it would starve to death the defenders in the city.

In the period when Jiannu had not yet obtained a large number of artillery, Jiannu's siege methods did stay at this stage. Of course, Jiannu is not without whimsical wants to attack the city, for example, Chongzhen came to the city of Beijing in the first year and attacked the Beijing division, but the result was naturally a big bag.

At this time, Zhang Kuotu is eager to build slaves to attack the fortifications head-on, as for the internal should or something, there may be individual Jiannu spies in the city, but there is no way to use them internally.

There are nearly 50,000 Jiannu and more than 30,000 traitor troops, which is nearly five times the strength of the Jinzhou garrison. Wild Boar Skin personally ran around the city, and there was no good way, but I felt that this Golden State was very tricky. There should be no inside, and it cannot be surrounded, and the defenders of the city are not willing to come out in the field.

"Do you have a way to take this Golden State?" Boar Skin asked to a group of left and right.

"Father Khan, if you want to take this Jinzhou Pass, I'm afraid you can only attack it." "It's just that I'm afraid the casualties will be a bit big." ”

"If you want to attack, let the Han army fight first!" Four Baylor Huang Taiji said.

"In that case, we can only attack." Wild Boar Skin reluctantly decided that Golden State, as a thorn in the eye of Wild Boar Skin, was willing to pay this price if he could take it if he paid some casualties. So the wild boar skin immediately ordered Li Yongfang and other traitor generals to hurry up and build siege equipment, preparing to carry out an ant-attached siege to Jinzhou Pass.

Li Yongfang and other traitor generals knew that they would definitely be cannon fodder this time, but in general they didn't need to go into battle in person, anyway, it was the big soldiers below who died, so they worked very hard to execute.

The Ming army in the city also discovered Jiannu's intentions. But no one panicked, and the morale was still very strong.

Before the siege of the city, Boar Skin continued to send troops to the city as a target for artillery, in order to test the range of artillery, as well as the number of artillery.

The Ming army in the city was also unceremonious, and hundreds of three-pound cannons and one-catty cannons continued to fire at the city, so as to count the new artillery that had just been transferred. (To be continued.) )
