The night is dark and the stars are scarce, but the lights in Jinzhou City are bright, laughter and laughter, hundreds of people are busy cleaning up the 20-meter gap that was blown down, the enemy's corpses are all cremated, the fallen soldiers have been gathered and buried, weapons and armor are re-tempered, and excellent muskets are built.

When the people cleaned up the enemy's corpse, they unceremoniously peeled off the bloodstained clothes on the corpse, and sewed up the broken places.

It is precisely because these enemy corpses have been stripped by the people, and when they are cremated on the pyre, all the corpses are naked, which is in response to the sentence, Chiguoguo's coming, Chiguoguo's leaving.

After the debris, corpses, and gravel at the gap are cleared, the foundation is dug down to a certain depth, and the cement slurry mixed with sand and stones is poured in, and then manually stirred evenly, and the wooden board is used as a mold from the ground, and the slurry is poured layer by layer, and the gap is slowly filled.

Transportation, mixing, molding, pouring slurry, mixing and other processes are all pure manual operations, the work efficiency is low and very hard, but can not stand the number of people, the people in the city are afraid that the city will be breached, slaughtered and enslaved by the Jin army, even if they do not pay the wages and spontaneously organize to fill the gap, not to mention that the government not only has the night sky supply, but also pay the wages of 20 copper coins, which naturally stimulates the enthusiasm of the people.

In the camp of the Jin army, the sweat tent was also brightly lit, and all the patriarchs gathered, Huang Taiji stared at the military map with bloodshot eyes, his face was full of tiredness and sorrow, and more helpless.

Of course, he knew that the Ming army would fill the blown up gaps and repair the damaged city walls overnight, but there was nothing he could do and attack at night? Don't be kidding, the city has been sieged for days, the losses are heavy, the soldiers are exhausted, the morale is low, how to fight?

The moment when the city wall was blown down and the Ming army had not yet reacted was the best time to break the city, and tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry and tens of thousands of elite infantry troops failed to break the city in turn, let alone now.

When the battle damage data came up, the muscles of his cheeks twitched in pain, and after a few days of strong attacks, more than 7,000 casualties of the cannon fodder Han military banner, more than 4,000 casualties of the elite cavalry, and more than 5,000 casualties of the elite infantry army, this is the highest battle loss since he took power.

Jinzhou City has been attacked for a long time, with heavy casualties, and morale has suffered a heavy setback, so it can no longer be attacked, but food and other materials must be replenished as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to survive this year's cold winter, and he can only shift his attention to the neighboring country, the Xian Empire of the scum of national strength, and at the same time, he can also successfully transfer the contradictions within the tribe.

The side of the offense has lost one after another, not to mention the heavy losses, and he can't even grab a grain of food, let alone other tribes, that is, the high-level officials within the Jin Empire are already questioning his ability, and if he doesn't lead the army to fight a big victory and grab some resources, it is really possible that the Khan position will not be able to sit steadily.

If you want to fight the Xian Empire, of course, you have to make enough preparations, the Xian Empire is a poor country, the scum of combat power, but it is mostly mountainous terrain, which is not conducive to the cavalry galloping and killing, and attacking the fortification is the weakness of the elite of the Eight Banners, so he can only adopt the tactics of surprise attack and breaking the city, and he does not plan to occupy the Xian Empire, just grab a handful and withdraw, Daming is the most important strong enemy, and entering the Central Plains is his highest goal.

Raiding the Xian Empire is an important big event, but the withdrawal of troops is also a big problem, neither can the Ming army find that the main force is no longer there, nor can it be discovered when the main force is assembled on the border of the Xian Empire, this is not so easy, the transportation of military materials such as grain and grass, etc., all aspects have to be taken into account.

Even if he was noticed by the Ming army, he was not very worried that the Ming army of the Ningjin defense line would take the initiative to attack, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaodong, was good at defense, but he was also too cautious and conservative because he was too stable and conservative, so he would not take the risk of attacking, what he was worried about was Lu Hongniang and Li Xin, who were stationed in the defense line around Shanhaiguan, both of them were young generals who were good at capturing fighters and daring to take risks.

According to the secret spy report, Cao Bianjiao's wolf camp was originally composed of 3,000 to 5,000 people, and now it has expanded to a division-level force of 10,000 people, although it is incomparable with the 200,000 army commanded by the former island owner Mao Wenlong, but it is a real lion in a hundred battles, among the several armies that the Ming army can fight the most, he ranks the wolf battalion under the command of Cao Bianjiao in the first place, followed by Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion and Li Xin's Shenji Battalion, and Cao Wenzhao's Guangping Army. Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, Gao Jie's Royal Guard Battalion, and the so-called elite border troops are all scumbags, and there are only a few generals who can fight, such as Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao.

Yuan Chonghuan still made him quite jealous, but the faint monarch of the Ming Dynasty withdrew him and self-destructed the Great Wall, and it has been confirmed that Yuan Chonghuan was killed by civil officials of the same dynasty, which can be regarded as helping Dajin get rid of a big trouble.

In case Emperor Li of the Xian Empire asks Daming for help, will Daming send troops, and will Cao Bianjiao, who is stationed on Phi Island, also take the opportunity to send troops? These problems have to be taken into account, and it gives him a headache.

Huang Taiji and the patriarchs discussed in the sweat tent for most of the night, and only dispersed after agreeing, and hurried to rest.

Nearly noon the next day, the grinding Jin army poured out of the camp, lined up on the flat ground, the battle flag fluttered like the sea, the yellow dragon flag of Huang Taiji towered the Chinese army, with the rumbling war drums, a team of Jin army launched an attack on the northern city.

The defenders of the city have already been in strict formation, and when the Jin army rushed into the range of the Franc machine guns, more than a dozen Franc machine guns on the fort opened fire one after another, killing some of the Jin troops, and when they rushed to the side of the moat, the guns roared at the head of the city, and the smoke of gunpowder billowed out, and the charging Jin army threw down more than 20 corpses and retreated.

Hong Chengchou and others stood at the head of the city, holding a monocular to observe, at a glance they knew that the Jin army was playing a feint again, and they didn't know what kind of conspiracy they were going to do, Hong Chengchou ordered the soldiers under the city to closely monitor the movement on the ground, in case the Jin army secretly dug tunnels to blow up the city, and almost capsized in the gutter yesterday, fortunately, He Renlong reacted quickly, and the response was good, and the whole army fought bravely and tenaciously, so as to keep the city from losing, and made a great contribution, he would report to the emperor in the song.

Huang Taiji's sweat tent and banner were all left under the city of Jinzhou, and even left a stand-in that looked a little similar to him, wearing a dragon robe that only the Khan King could wear, riding on a war horse, pretending to point fingers, not only fooling Hong Chengchou, but even his own people.

At this moment, he had quietly set off with 50,000 elite cavalry, evacuated Tiezhou, went to a certain place to assemble, waited to join the other two partial divisions, and then crossed the Yalu River and raided the Xian Empire.
