With the sound of explosive packets exploding, puffs of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose out from under the city, and the air wave caused by the explosion overturned the ladder and the building above.

The Jianyu archers behind the nearby shield cart heard a continuous sound of "puff puff" coming from the front of the shield cart after the loud noise, as if there were countless arrows shot at it.

The prisoners under the city were blindfolded by the sudden explosion, and the prisoners who were not protected by the shield cart were either killed or wounded, and the prisoners who were lucky not to be hit by the broken stones or iron filings of the explosives were also like being suddenly hit in both ears, and their heads were "buzzing".

The siege of the city was captured, but the soldiers of the Heavenly Army at the head of the city were not blinded, and began to fight back step by step.

The sharpshooter and firecracker aimed at the captives exposed outside the shield cart, and with the cover of the smoke rising from the sky, they shot deadly arrows and lead bullets.

The Franc cannon was also pushed to the battlement, aiming and starting to bombard. The first few rounds were scattershots, but then they raised the angle and fired live ammunition to attack the defenders in the distance.

At the observation post, as the command was delivered, the catapults in the city began to adjust their angles and threw one incendiary bomb after another.

Mang Gurtai finally saw the counterattack of the city, although he was no longer apprehensive in his heart, but the counterattack in such a situation was completely different from the rolling wood and stones, gold juice and arrow rain he had seen before, which made him stunned.

He already knew before that the firearms of the Heavenly Army were powerful. But when I looked at it during the day, I didn't expect it to be so powerful. With such rudimentary siege equipment, how can you capture the Naturalized City?

Suddenly, the voice of "Dangdangdang" sounded, which made him come back to his senses, and he hurriedly ordered his side to hurry up and withdraw his troops.

After giving the order, he turned his head to look to the east and saw that Huang Taiji's side was similar to his own. The Dajin warriors who were besieging the city were retreating in disarray, quickly fleeing the Naturalization City.

His face was gloomy. He turned his head to look at himself again. I saw that the shield carts had been lost under the city, and about 500 of the besiegers remained under the city, either silent, or wailing for help.

Mang Gurtai really couldn't stand it, and he was in a bad mood. Turn the horse's head and go. In just a few days after coming to Guihua City, Daikin has lost nearly 20% of its troops, which is really a defeat that has never been seen in recent years!

At the head of the city, looking at the retreating Jianyu like a tide, Hu Guang put down the binoculars and let his subordinates mock loudly.

"Jianyu, Jianyu, crying dad and calling mother!"

"Go back to your Liaodong, wash your neck and wait for the master to cut it!"

"Don't run if you have a kind. If it's a man, fight to the end! ”

“……”

Without using a telescope, Hu Guang could see Mang Gurtai in the distance and turned his head to look at the city, and then sped up and went back to his camp.

When the captives were almost all gone, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army at the head of the city cheered. Even if he was invincible before, he still had to return under the Naturalization City.

Hu Guang instructed Uncle Mo to send foot soldiers to clean up the battlefield outside the city. If the captives attack, they should return to the city and let the ranged weapons on the city entertain them. Don't fight with them outside.

As for how to clean up the battlefield, there is only one principle. How to humiliate Jianyu, how to come, how to operate yourself. After explaining this, Hu Guang went to visit the wounded.

In the afternoon, it was the hottest time of the day, but the camp was lifeless and did not feel a trace of vitality.

Mang Gurtai naturally knew what the reason was. However, he was in a bad mood and didn't bother to care, so he drove his horse directly into the East Camp and got into the big tent of the Chinese army.

There were already a lot of big gold generals inside, and they saw Heshuo Baylor coming. One after another. Ke Mang Gurtai kept a calm face, walked straight to the side of Huang Taiji, sat down and said hatefully: "Fourth, what do you say, let them be humiliated?" ”

After failing to defeat Guihua City several times, morale was already low. Looking at those who asked the Heavenly Army to humiliate those who stayed under the city, Mang Gurtai was in a rather bad mood.

Seeing that the generals of the Nanda Battalion followed Mang Gurtai in, and after standing in their position, Huang Taiji turned his head to look at Mang Gurtai and said: "The firearms of the Heavenly Army are sharp, and it is indeed difficult to defeat them by hiding in the Naturalization City and defending the city. ”

"Then what's the matter, the laborers moved everyone to come from afar, and just gave up?" Mang Gurtai was furious when he heard this, and said loudly, "My big battalion is less than a thousand men and horses, and your side is about the same, how can this big loss be calculated?" ”

Huang Taiji's side is indeed similar to Mang Gurtai, this time he came over three flags, and he lost almost 2,000 people before and after. Although nearly half of them were affiliated Mongols, the Dajin warriors also died a lot, with nearly 400 Bayala soldiers alone. Just thinking about it, I feel distressed to death, I have fought with the Ming army for so many years, and I haven't died so many Baya soldiers!

The generals in the big tent listened to Mang Gurtai's words, and they were a little conflicted in their hearts. suffered a big loss, it is too embarrassing to forget it like this; But if you fight again, it is estimated that more people will die.

Although Huang Taiji did not have a gloomy face, he also said without a smile: "You can't fight Naturalization City anymore, but you can't leave like this, otherwise, it will be difficult to curb the Heavenly Army in the future." ”

"What then?" Mang Gurtai couldn't think of a way by himself, so he asked directly.

To be honest, Huang Taiji has no good way. He pondered for a moment and said, "King Ben Khan sees that although the artillery in the city of Guihua is powerful, it cannot shoot from a distance. Therefore, if you want to capture the Naturalization City, you must either transfer siege cannons, or build a large trebuchet, or surround them, so that the food and grass in the city cannot be sustained, and take the initiative to leave the Naturalization City! ”

When he was originally in Gyeonggi, Daikin also captured some artillery. However, the bulky general cannon was thrown by Amin in Yongping, and the Franc cannon was called the heavenly army to rob it.

If you want to transfer siege artillery, you must transfer it from Shenyang, Liaodong. It's too far away to be realistic.

As for building a large trebuchet, it must be large enough to exceed the range of the Heavenly Army artillery in the Naturalized City. And the craftsmen needed for this can only be transferred from Shenyang. But even if it is transferred, whether it can be done is another matter.

If the Heavenly Army did not have this naturalized city wall, Dajin would be confident that it would annihilate the Heavenly Army in one fell swoop. But will they come out on their own?

Mang Gurtai thought for a while, and felt that what Huang Taiji said was equivalent to saying it in vain, and he couldn't help frowning.

The other people in the big tent couldn't think of a good way, and finally broke up unhappily, and the result of the meeting was to discuss again.

The time was three days, and the outside of the city was still the world of Jianyu Sentinel Cavalry, so the Heavenly Army never sent a horseman. Jianyu didn't attack the city again, so it was deadlocked.

Nearly 8,000 people were stationed outside the city of Naturalization, and the food and grass began to run out, and the people's hearts surged, just waiting for Dolgon.

He not only escorted the grain and grass in time, but also brought good news. (To be continued.) )
