"Beat me hard!" At the head of the city, Hong Chengchou shouted loudly, watched the second battle, and then observed through the monoculars, confirming that the Jin army was not a feint, but a real strong attack, and he was not polite, and ordered his soldiers to hit the Jin army hard.

As the governor of Liaodong, he was supposed to stay in the governor Xingtian Yuan to sit in the town, but when the old army of the nine sides was reorganized, all kinds of things happened, he was very worried, so he personally supervised the battle in the city, but after seeing the performance of the new army after the reorganization, he was relieved, the new army was able to form combat effectiveness in such a short period of time, and the political work officers made great contributions, the emperor was wise and martial, and he actually made a system of political work officers.

If Zhu Jian knew what he was thinking at this time, he would definitely shake his head and laugh violently, Lao Hong still thought of the special military branch of political work officers too simply.

Hong Chengchou commanded Zu Chengxun, the chief officer of Jinzhou, as the commander of the battlefield, and Mao Wenlong, He Renlong, etc. will be deputies, and then go down to the city and return to Xingyuan, he still has too many things to deal with, and it is impossible to bow in person, otherwise he will die of exhaustion.

After he went down to the city, he inspected a few blocks under the support of the pro-soldier guards before returning to Xingyuan, and handed over the command of the defensive battle of the city head to Zu Chengxun, he was still quite relieved, Zu Chengxun is also a veteran of a hundred battles, people are a little conservative, but also steady, as long as there are no major mistakes in command, it is not a problem to hold the city, not to mention that there are Mao Wenlong, He Renlong and other fierce generals to assist, these new generals in Liaodong want to make meritorious performances, moreover, the city defense affairs are basically arranged, Zu Chengxun only needs to follow the step-by-step line.

Hong Chengchou returned to the governor's office, drank a cup of fragrant tea, and then lay on the desk, staring at the map of Liaodong spread on it, completely forgetting the fierce offensive and defensive battles that were going on in the city.

The emperor will use troops on the Horqin prairie after the beginning of spring next year, he is the commander-in-chief, of course, all kinds of preparations must be made in advance, this news is currently a top secret, few people in the entire nine sides know, it is estimated that Lu Hongniang and Li Xin know, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, Gao Jie, the three love generals of the Son of Heaven may not know.

Of course, a few shrewd and far-sighted people may see some fame from some clues, and now behind some border forts connected to or adjacent to the Horqin steppe such as Shanhaiguan, a large amount of sand, timber and other things have been piled up, all of which are building materials, but no matter how shrewd and far-sighted they are, they have guessed that there will be big moves in Shanhaiguan and other areas, but they will never think of the emperor's crazy ideas.

At the head of the city, the cannon roared, and the Franco cannon roared and fired a burst of cannons, which blew up clouds of fire and smoke in the charging crowd, and the soldiers were blown up and fell, which was the death blockade built by the Franco's cannon.

After the attacking Jin army rushed through this death blockade, they ran forward for a while before they could rush through the moat that had been filled in and rush to the bottom of the city, and the distance close to the moat was already within the effective range of the muskets, and the defenders at the head of the city no longer fired as close as before, but put up the platoon of guns under the command of the officer.

Killing and injuring a large number of Jin soldiers is one of the great strategic policies of the Son of Heaven against the Guanwai clans, and now that the Hong Governor Division has given another order, the officers commanded in front of the battle are naturally no longer polite, not to mention that the attacking Jin soldiers have already entered the effective range of the musket, which is not a waste of bullets.

With the sound of a row of guns, the attacking golden soldiers fell in rows, and now the musket is a powerful scumbag, and if it does not hit the vital point, it will not die immediately, and the muddy ground is full of wounded soldiers who are struggling and howling, and the heart-rending and miserable howl makes people panic in their hearts, if these wounded soldiers do not seek treatment in time, they will eventually die of excessive blood loss.

Even if you call for help in time, according to the current backward level of medical technology, even ordinary colds and flu will kill people, let alone gunshot wounds, and there will not be many people who can survive the ghost gate after surgery.

The rumbling of artillery and war drums, the sound of gunfire like bursting beans, the earth-shattering roar of killing, and the terrible howls were intertwined, and the crowd of people charging forward, the corpses of various bodies and the wounded soldiers struggling and howling miserably, the abandoned weapons and torn armor, the burning towers, the flames and billowing smoke that exploded from time to time, and the mud ground stained red with blood, constituted a tragic battlefield picture.

After a large number of golden soldiers braved the rain of bullets and bullets to rush across the moat, the city suddenly threw down a thunderbolt with wisps of green smoke, which fell under their feet, and some directly smashed on people's heads and bodies, and then exploded out of clusters of fire and billowing smoke, and the stumps and broken arms were thrown everywhere, and the terrible howls were endless.

Most of the gold soldiers fell on the way to charge, although many rushed across the moat, but failed to rush to the city wall to be shot by the platoon of guns, was blown away by the thunder, luck is to rush to the bottom of the city wall, but in the end it is difficult to escape a death, in the dense platoon of guns bombardment, bow and arrow point fire and thunder bombing under the indiscriminate explosion.

Although the old army is reorganized, but the production of muskets is low, for the time being, all have not been able to be reloaded, some units still retain sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and archers with better archery, these archers are no longer assembled, covered with dense arrow rain projectiles, but scattered point shooting, sniping scattered targets, can also be regarded as snipers using cold weapons, but the hit rate is low, sometimes it takes four or five arrows to hit the target, and it is just an ordinary target, and the valuable targets are basically hunted by snipers who are almost 100 shots.

Mao Wenlong, He Renlong and other fierce generals hid behind the battlements, holding monoculars to watch the battle, there were two groups of snipers around them, every time the four snipers fired a shot, there was a tribal officer with colored feathers or a warrior in heavy armor screamed and fell, making them scream and howl, excited, if their own troops have so many snipers, how can they use other soldiers to defend the city, only these snipers can hold the city.

Zu Chengxun on the side smiled bitterly and shook his head, you think too much, this sniper is so easy to find? There are only five groups of snipers in the entire Jinzhou City, and it is estimated that there are less than 100 people in the entire nine-border defense line, otherwise the emperor will be careful of the liver baby? In order to compete for a sniper, the bigwigs of various armies and departments quarreled, quarreled, and bribed, and bribed and bribed, in short, all kinds of means, made Inspector Hong dizzy.

The Jin soldiers in the attack were not only passively beaten, they also had archers shoot arrows to counterattack, and also shot and injured some Ming soldiers, however, throwing arrows from the ground to the city suffered a loss, and were bombarded by the rows of guns in turns, and the death was in disarray, and the remnants were far away, not daring to enter the effective range of the muskets, and the arrows shot naturally did not pose much damage to the defenders.

"Bow here!"

He Renlong scolded and scolded, and used the monocular in his hand to shoot a cold arrow, put away the telescope, and stretched his big hand back.

The skilled guards hurriedly handed over the strong bow and arrows, he took the bow and buckled the arrows, Zhang Cheng was a crescent, aimed at a golden soldier, loosened the strings, and shot out a strong arrow, and a golden soldier fell down with a scream.

Mao Wenlong on the side couldn't help but take a strong bow, and He Renlong compared to archery, both of them are fierce generals, strong arm strength, shoot far, and archery is also good, this competition, there are twenty or thirty gold soldiers who died under the arrows of the two.

Seeing the heavy casualties and low morale of the generals, Huang Taiji had to order Mingjin to retreat, and the remaining Jin soldiers retreated in disarray, and bursts of victorious cheers broke out on the city.
