Boom boom...

The artillery fire around Songshan City roared, and there were constantly Qing soldiers charging, and there were even heavier armored cloud ladder soldiers who wanted to seize the city wall, however, the Ming army, which was originally wilted, suddenly rose up, as if resurrected with full blood, and the artillery fire became extremely fierce.

Soon, the Qing army retreated like a spring, and was bombed so that it could barely raise its head.

Boom boom...

Bang bang bang ...

The artillery of the defenders was roaring, the guns were roaring, and the advantage did not last long, and the artillery of the Qing army was all concentrated in one place, bombarding a city wall of Songshan City, and with the intensity and power of the artillery fire, the cloud ladder was finally erected on the city wall.

"Kill~Rush~"

The Qing army swarmed up, constantly climbing the ladder, and soon a group of people climbed the city wall and fought with the Ming army for control of the city wall.

Da Da...

The guns rang out, and the defenders took out new firearms, like machine guns, which instantly suppressed the firepower of the Qing army and reversed the situation.

On a hill outside Songshan City, Huang Taiji looked at the battlefield situation in Songshan City from afar, and his expression was very unpleasant, especially the failure of the strong attack again and again, hundreds of corpses were left outside the city, his expression was extremely gloomy, and Kong Youde walked over from a distance.

"Your Majesty, you can't continue to attack like this. Otherwise, even if Matsuyama Castle is captured in the end, it will be a heavy loss, and it is necessary to change the battle strategy and reduce the casualties of the soldiers. ”

Huang Taiji heard Kong Youde's voice, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face showed hope, but he still calmed down and asked: "Gongshun Wang, do you have any good plans to capture Songshan City?" ”

Obviously, Kong Youde had long expected such a question, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, among the Han army of the last general, the artillery has been strictly trained by Portuguese advisers, and the use of red-coated cannons can shoot six to fifteen catties of iron bullets. The reason why this Songshan Castle is difficult to conquer is because the firepower of the defenders is too fierce, so that our army cannot get close, and it is easy to be cut off by the waist, and the siege has become a failure, and it cannot be sustained. ”

"Respectfully to the king, let's tell me what your strategy is!"

Huang Taiji was a little impatient and interrupted Kong Youde's analysis, and the latter did not answer immediately, but pointed to a certain place on the wall of Songshan City, looking like he was very sure of it, and pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that we should concentrate all our firepower to bombard the battlements of the city wall there and destroy the city defense of the defenders, and at the same time, the focus is to blow up their artillery ammunition." ”

"Besides, we can dig a tunnel all the way to Matsuyama Castle. In this way, even if the ammunition of the Ming army cannot be blown up, it can cover the movement of the army underground and dig a tunnel leading to Matsuyama Castle. ”

"Well, dear to the king, do as you please." Huang Taiji reluctantly agreed, and turned his head to look at Songshan City, there were few defenders, and Songshan City would be at his fingertips.

At this time, seeing that Huang Taiji looked a little deflated, Fan Wencheng comforted: "Your Majesty, although the siege of the city did not go well, it confirmed another point, Zu Dashou did not have extra troops to support, it can be seen that our 100,000 troops in the pass should still be there." ”

"I hope so~"

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, and as soon as he finished saying this, there was a violent roaring explosion in the distance.

As the saying goes, you have a good plan, I have a bridge and ladder, the guard of Songshan City, the deputy chief soldier Jin Guofeng, is not simple, and he quickly saw through Kong Youde's plan, a few people on the city wall in a small team, two people hold the door panel, in order to avoid the loose iron bullets, and the others are responsible for transferring the shells.

Not only that, but a death squad slid down the rope and appeared under the city wall, and began to run to the root of the wall to sabotage the opponent's plan to dig tunnels.

Soon after, the battle stopped again, Kong Youde came to Huang Taiji in disgrace, with a look of shame on his face, and blamed himself: "Please ask the emperor to cure the crime of the last general, the guard general Jin Guofeng is too treacherous, as soon as the last general bombarded the city wall, he immediately organized the transfer of troops to transfer shells, and even sent death squads to destroy the passage of the tunnel and dig the blocking pit." ”

Huang Taiji's brows furrowed, and he asked puzzledly, "Destroying the tunnel?" Excavation of blocking pits? It's just a few people, even if they stop digging tunnels and kill them, they can't just continue digging. ”

Hearing Huang Taiji's question, Kong Youde's expression was obviously unnatural, and he replied with some hesitation: "That... The emperor, the last general didn't expect that the city of Songshan City was actually full of rocks, and it was impossible to chisel at all. ”

Suddenly, Huang Taiji felt that his right eyelid was beating non-stop, and the whole person became restless, with an inexplicable sense of suffocation, as if a catastrophe was coming, and he didn't care about Kong Youde's gains and losses.

At this time, a small-scale riot suddenly broke out in the rear of the army, and the sound of a battle came like nothing, which made Huang Taiji feel startled and asked, "What happened in the rear?" How can there be a sound of fighting? ”

A small colonel hurriedly ran over from afar, not flustered, and reported with a slight breath: "Emperor Qiqi, a small group of Ming troops suddenly attacked the rear of our military camp, about five or six hundred people, led by Zu Dashou's generals, respectively, Yang Zhen, Xu Changyong and Zu Keyong, deputy chief soldiers of Ningyuan. ”

"What?" Huang Taiji was furious and continued to reprimand: "What is Arsalan doing for food? Why can't even such a little Ming army solve it? ”

"Your Majesty, I can't complain about General Arsalan about this matter, this Ming army is extremely brave, knowing that it is invincible, and it will raid our camp, obviously with the intention of death. Moreover, General Arsalan only had 160 Manchurian soldiers in his hands, and he could not block all those Ming troops. ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji was quite shocked by the will of this Ming army to fight, and did not continue to hold Arsalan responsible, but ordered: "The Guards of the Swing Tooth Sect obey the order, launch an attack on this Ming army, and try to capture the leader as much as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In an instant, the guards around Huang Taiji were less than half, and most of the generals followed, wanting to see the Ming army.

At this time, Fan Wencheng came to the front of Huang Taiji, his face was full of sorrow, and the whole person looked uneasy, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen always has a bad feeling, for the sake of safety, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, you should take the first step and return to Shengjing, and it will be handed over to Prince Heshuoli Daishan to preside over it." ”

Huang Taiji didn't say too much, nodded lightly, turned his head and looked at the direction of Songshan City, as well as the rear of the camp, the feeling of restlessness just now appeared again, and he wanted to suppress it and calm himself down.

However, no matter how hard Huang Taiji tried, he could not calm himself down.

"Mr. Fan, call Dai Shan over."

Soon, Dai Shan came over in armor, his face was full of incomprehension, and he said with a big sting: "Your Majesty, the minister is preparing to organize troops again and launch a new round of strong attack, why did you call me here?" ”

Huang Taiji did not answer Dai Shan immediately, but took a step forward, making the distance between the two close at hand, and even looked straight into each other's eyes, and said earnestly: "Second brother, I really don't worry about Shengjing, everything here will be handed over to the plenipotentiary first, and once something is wrong, immediately lead the army to withdraw to Shengjing." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order."

At this moment, Dai Shan also seemed to feel something, not only did he not ask Huang Taiji for the specific reason, but his voice also became extremely heavy, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
