And after the Qing army captured Ningyuan, the Manchus were always angry, they were blocked outside Ningyuan for more than ten years, how unhappy they were, they always felt that the name Ningyuan was in the way of them, so they changed the name of Ningyuan to Xingcheng. It means that after the Manchus captured Ningyuan, it was the beginning of their prosperity!

Ningyuan has lost the role of resistance here, so naturally Juehua Island is not where the grain is stored, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will also allocate some soldiers on Juehua Island to closely monitor the dynamics. How much of a difference can some soldiers make? This gave Zhang Biwujun a lot of convenience?

What the? Convenience for Zhang Jun? Yes! Because Zhang Jun's ships have appeared on the sea, these ships are all captured by Zhang Biwu from Portugal and the Netherlands, etc., and are equipped with the most advanced cannons!

The cannon was very powerful, and it was blasting towards Ningyuan City, which made the Qing soldiers dizzy, and they didn't guard against the enemy attacking the seaside at all.

As for the defense of Juehua Island, there were not many troops, Zhang Jun landed on the island, easily controlled the island, and set up a fort here, and also used the Qing army's fort to bombard Ningyuan City.

The guards on Ningyuan City kept pointing and shouting: "It's the enemy outside the city who has sent artillery to hit me!" Let's shoot back! ”

Therefore, the defenders on Ningyuan City used cannons to fight back, but unfortunately their cannons can not hit the battleships on the sea except for Juehua Island, how can they say that they are far away, and the bombardment distance of the cannons can't keep up with the other party! Therefore, it is natural to suffer a big loss.

Li Yan was overjoyed, he immediately waved his troops forward, and the soldiers marched forward bravely, and at the same time, hundreds of soldiers who were free also followed.

Xiaoyao originally wanted to go up. was pulled by Li Yan. Li Yan said to him, "Young master." You can't go up! When we came to Ningyuan City, we said it was good! You must not go up! ”

Xiaoyao was unwilling, he saw that his soldiers were moving forward bravely, he wanted to go up, but he shrank back, and he kept sighing.

At this time, the siege of the city was like a wave, and Ningyuan City was unusually strong, even because Juehua Island was taken. And there are artillery bombardments at sea.

Li Yan was anxious, if he couldn't break through this city, the Qing army would come again, and everyone would be in danger at that time! As long as Ningyuan City is uprooted, then you can transport grain, grass and soldiers by sea.

The commander of the battleship was Zhang Huangyan, and he also ordered to fire frantically, but he couldn't shake Ningyuan City, and he was also anxious.

At this moment, an army appeared in the distance, and it was Zhang Biwu who led the army to arrive. What he thought in his heart was that he would do whatever it takes, even if it was to kill ten or twenty thousand people. He also wants to capture Ningyuan.

As long as he didn't retreat and captured Ningyuan, losing more than half of his people was not a failure, but a success!

In the past, he was afraid that there would be no support on the waterway, but now with the support on the waterway, it is different.

How did Zhang Huangyan come with his troops? Because this is an agreement with Xuan Jianhao and others, let Zhang Huangyan secretly lead the battleship forward, not explicitly, because only if they are secretly set off with the battleship, then they can appear in front of the Manchus unexpectedly and give the Manchus a powerful blow!

The Manchu sailors were very weak and could not control the sea power, of course, no one could think of the sea control at that time, and when they were negligent, they naturally did not expect that the opponent's fleet had come to the doorstep and carried out a two-sided attack.

It was this secret report written in a piece of paper that Zhang Biwu saw last night, and he couldn't help but be happy, but he didn't know where Zhang Huangyan's battleship had gone.

Until Li Yan appeared, Li Yan had received a report that Zhang Huangyan and his warship had secretly appeared not far from Ningyuan, and they would join forces with Zhang Biwu at any time. No, it's just in time!

As for Zhang Biwu also ordered a retreat, it was nothing more than an attempt to confuse Dolgon, in fact, how could he retreat?

Therefore, Li Yan and Xiaoyao were sent to lead troops to help, and at the same time, his main army would also turn back and attack Ningyuan again.

Now Zhang Biwu is leading the main force to appear under Ningyuan City, he saw that Ningyuan City is very strong, his soldiers are attacking one after another, no one has retreated, how to say that it is not easy to get back the opportunity to take over the Manchu Qing, don't go back like a loser, of course they cherish it, one or two attack very fiercely!

Even if it is such a heroic battle, it is difficult to capture Ningyuan, and the same city is also very tightly guarded, and the defenders are also very fierce. At the same time, the news of Ning Yuan's attack had reached Dolgon's ears.

Dolgon only heard that there was friction between the army in front and a small group of troops of Zhang Biwu, and the battle was not very fierce!

When he was wondering, Ning Yuan was attacked by Li Yan and Zhang Biwu, Dolgon couldn't help laughing, because he had already made a prediction before, Zhang Biwu might be pretending to retreat, and then he was unwilling, he would attack Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan would be a monolith, how could you Zhang Biwu break it? It's just a wasted effort!

Dolgon was very leisurely, and said: "Then Zhang Biwu will toss well under Ningyuan Jiancheng!" Just taste the ...... of our father Khan" When he said this, he froze, and this sentence cannot be said. How can I say that Nurhachi's attack on Ningyuan was seriously injured and died by the shelling is a super taboo!

Dolgon changed his words and said, "Let him taste the bitter fruits of the fortified city that he will not be able to conquer for a long time!" ”

But Hou Qi's report made Dolgon fall through his glasses: "Imperial Father Regent, Ning Yuancheng is afraid that he will not be able to support it soon!" ”

"What!" This surprise was Dorgon! How could Ning Yuan not be able to support it? It's impossible!

Hou Qi made everything clear, the most unexpected thing was that there would be enemy ships on the sea route, if he got supplies on the sea route, Dolgon would not be able to trap Zhang Biwu if he wanted to.

He couldn't help but think of the time when the Songjin War was over, not only did Hong Chengchou's support be trapped by land, but even there were many batteries on the sea route to prevent the Ming army from coming to help from the sea.

But now Zhang Biwu's navy, suddenly, he thought of one point, Zhang Biwu's navy after the big battles with the Netherlands, Portugal, England, etc., is not what it used to be, far more powerful than the Ming army's sailors! Besides, the cannons of American ginseng are stronger than theirs!

And the most important thing is that Juehua Island is also defenseless, facing the side of the sea, Ningyuan City's defense is not tight, and the solidity of the city wall is far less than that on land, as long as the opponent's cannon is bombarded, the city wall by the sea will not be able to hold it.

Dolgon thought of it, he was scared, Zhilu Dao couldn't wait to ignore it any longer, if Zhang Biwu really occupied Ningyuan City, he would be able to use it as a stronghold, there was a waterway to provide him with supplies, what else did he have to be afraid of?

Dolgon immediately ordered, he was going to Ningyuan, he couldn't shrink here anymore, and when Zhang Biwu couldn't break through Ningyuan, he would eliminate Zhang Biwu or drive him away.

Even if Zhang Biwu can't be eliminated, at least Song Jin and Ning Yuan are still in their hands. When Zhang Biwu led the army away, the Qing army soon occupied Jinzhou, and the importance of Songjin and Ningyuan, Dolgon was still well aware.

Dolgon didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and he immediately led the army to pounce on Ning Yuan. At the same time, Dolgon was also prepared for the fall of Ningyuan, and he asked Fan Wencheng to stay in Songjin and manage Songjin's defense.

Back on Ningyuan's side, Zhang Biwu knew that it would be difficult to break through Ningyuan City on this day, but he was still attacking, he would do whatever it takes, even if there are many people who die, he will not care.

The soldiers under Li Yan's department have already been replaced and rested, after all, they have to continue to attack tomorrow! Forget it tonight, tomorrow will be the fatal blow. It is also the time to let Xiaoyao make meritorious contributions, how to say, although Xiaoyao is a general, but he has more soldiers than Qianzong, these soldiers are good hands, all of them can fight well, and it is okay to make meritorious contributions.

The city wall facing the sea in Ningyuan City has become very fragile, after all, after a day of bombardment, it has collapsed a lot, and Zhang Jun is frantically attacking the city, so they don't have time to repair the city wall near the sea.

Moreover, the coastal fleet had no intention of landing and attacking the city, and they all relied on the constant bombardment of Juehua Island.

I have to admit that the performance of Western artillery is better than that of the cannons developed by the Ming and Qing dynasties, and if they kept bombarding the cannons like this, they would have exploded long ago, and obviously they have better patience and a longer time.

Now that the attack has stopped, Zhang Biwu's gaze still falls on Ningyuan City, but in the dark, he can't see clearly.

Li Yan and Xiaoyao both came to Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu personally dressed them, and then said solemnly: "Tomorrow will be a battle to the death!" If you charge forward, you are not allowed to retreat, I would rather see a corpse than a man who escaped and came back alive! ”

In fact, Zhang Biwu's sentence is mainly to Xiaoyao, his eyes fell on his son, he wanted his son to make a great contribution, although it was dangerous, but he had to let him go, after all, it was not a matter to restrain him all day long.

Xiaoyao could feel his father's hot gaze, and he also knew that his father had entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, after all, this matter was related to the survival of the three armies!

Xiaoyao nodded, and he said: "Father, ......" saw Zhang Biwu's fierce gaze, and then changed his words: "Yes!" Boss, the youngster will definitely complete the task! ”

"That's it! Go and rest! When Zhang Biwu said this, of course they were going to leave.

But Zhang Biwu stopped Xiaoyao again: "Zhang Xiaoyao, listen, you promised your mother!" And you obey my commands, and do what I command! ”

Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu said solemnly: "You must remember my words!" Xiaoyao nodded his head and said, "What a good thing!" Father! Then he left. (To be continued......)
