The dull sound of thousands of war horses stepping on the ground outside the city, as well as the ancient saying of "long live the Jurchens" deliberately shouted by the Jurchens, melted into the summer wind and dispersed into the city.

Huang Chongzhen, who was caressing the face of the big black horse, did not need to go to the city to inspect to know that after the first time, Huang Taiji, who commanded the whole army to attack the Ming Dynasty in the name of Jin Da Khan, was indeed in a good position.

According to the information sent by the grass guards and scouts, this invasion of the Ming Dynasty was carried out except for some of the Eight Banners taken away by Dolgon and Amin.

As well as the part of Zierharang and Duoduo stationed in Liaoyang, as well as the necessary guards to guard Shenyang and protect the nobles and daughters of the Eight Banners, the rest of the soldiers who could fight were brought over by Huang Taiji.

The war is imminent, and Huang Chongzhen finally knows how many soldiers and horses Zu Dashou has.

Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, a full five thousand, and all of them are hot-blooded and honest teenagers!

But what that guy reported to Yuan Chonghuan and the imperial court was a full two thousand less!

There are more than 20,000 Guan Ning infantry under his control, which is also much more than the official record.

I don't know how this simple-looking warrior hid so many soldiers under Yuan Chonghuan's nose, and led them to support their families.

Chongzhen knew that such a phenomenon began after the victory in the Battle of Ningyuan.

At that time, Ningyuan's great victory greatly encouraged the confidence of the Liao people to defend the Liao land.

So a large number of Liao people came out of the wilderness and mountains where they were hiding and gathered on the front line of Guanning.

In order to expand the Guanning army, Yuan Chonghuan almost did not refuse to come, so he provided favorable conditions for Liaodong Jiangmen to store private soldiers, especially Zu Dashou, who was ordered to build Jinzhou.

After all, some of the Liao people were tenants and even domestic slaves who were attached to the Liaodong Generals.

This behavior is just the opposite of the empty salary behavior of the mainland health center, but it is also disgusting and even disgusting to Chongzhen.

However, Tuntian garrison, facing the invasion of barbarian iron hooves at any time, which general does not want his soldiers to be wide, which Tuntian military man, does not want his robes to be all warriors who can fight with swords?

Therefore, judging from the current situation, this has become the best way for the Ming court to finally reap the consequences.

Emperor Chongzhen, who succeeded the Apocalypse, was even more extremely honorable, and even at the last moment of the dynasty and his life, he pinned his last hope on Wu Sangui, the current Internet addict boy.

Thinking of this, Huang Chongzhen shook his head lightly like Ergou, then gathered his mind and put all his thoughts on the upcoming battle of Ningjin.

The art of war is cloudy: ten rules surround it.

Although Jinzhou is small, it has 25,000 young and strong soldiers, more than 50,000 old and young soldiers, and if Huangtaiji only has 60,000 Eight Banner soldiers, it is impossible to surround them.

In order to make up for the lack of the number of soldiers in the clan, the slave chieftain not only changed the most primitive tribal system to the Eight Banners system, but also created a tactic that drove the slave soldiers as pioneers to consume the firearms of the Ming army and disperse the Ming army's formation.

In many cases, the fierce Jurchen cavalry only needed to launch a brazen surprise attack when the war was in a stalemate, and they could seal the victory in most cases, especially the remnants of the Han family.

Such a move can be called inhumane, and no matter how endurant the resilient remnants of the Han family are, most of them are unbearable.

Therefore, although the Houjin during the slave chieftain period has always suppressed the remnants of the Han family in Liaodong with iron-blooded wrists, it has also suffered a great backlash, and there are constant revolts everywhere in Liaodong.

Although the idea of imitating the Jurchen Eight Banners to create the Eight Banners of the Han Army was opposed by all the Jurchen nobles, Huangtai Jiqing was very clever and retreated to the second, and resolutely changed the drive of the slave army to the enslavement army.

The 30,000 slave army was divided into three divisions, and was coerced by the left, center and right armies to rush to Jinzhou, which really created a momentum of "the Eight Banners Army outside the city, and the number was close to 100,000", which had a certain impact on the psychology of the Jinzhou defenders of the Guanning Army.

However, the well-trained young Guanning warriors who were determined to defend the territory were obviously also through a big battle.

In particular, many of them were predators who followed Zu Dashou in Ningyuan South City in the past and defeated the slave chieftains, and after experiencing the baptism of that tragic war, they all became fearless, tenacious and experienced.

Even the few newcomers of the sword and shield battalion under the command of Chongzhen have grown into well-deserved veterans.

Not to mention those old dogs and Liu Ting, a scarred man, although he is no longer a teenager, he and Huang Xiaoer and other newly recruited guards form the core lineup under the command of Guanning Iron Cavalry Huang Chongzhen.

With their encouragement, the recruits who had been newly incorporated into the army and had undergone nearly a year and a half of hard training were also not afraid, and the city of Jinzhou was not only rich in food and grass, but also abundant in firearms.

In Zu Dashou's vulgar words, it is: "I'm afraid of him with a hammer!" ”

This guy has always stood quietly directly above the new gate in the north of the town, his tall and burly body is set off by the thick armor of the battle, carrying a war knife at his waist, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, standing still in the storm, like a god of war.

However, perhaps he himself thinks it is very stylish.

But if you are seen by Chongzhen, you will definitely feel very sassy, and it is easy to become the target of the post-gold and white armor marksman.

Sure enough, a round of powerful wolf-tooth arrows came to the face, and some were thrown high into the sky, and then fell heavily by gravity because of the heavy cluster of arrows.

Obviously, the strongbow strings of these sharpshooters are all of good quality and are well protected.

A shower can't make them slack and weak.

Zu Dashou remained motionless, allowing the pro-soldiers who were squatting around him to get up suddenly, and sacrificed a big iron shield to protect his thoughtfulness, and even the top of his head was tightly protected.

I only listened to the jingle for a while, but it didn't actually hurt in the slightest.

And this pure Han family rough general has always adhered to the Han etiquette of "coming without being rude".

Although the three-eyed bird gun is very resistant to moisture, and the red-coated cannon is more protected like a national treasure, it has been mass-produced in large quantities and has been widely equipped with double-barreled guns in the Guanning army.

However, when Sun Yuanhua was inspired by Chongzhen and developed, he fully considered and improved the moisture-proof function, so that it could continue to maintain superior performance in most rainy seasons.

With the sound of a dense firecracker, the unscrupulous white-armored marksmen of the Yellow Banner were supposed to perform well in front of the mighty Tiancong Khan, but they obviously did not expect that the firearms of the Ming army could still be powerful in the rainy season.

All of a sudden, he was caught off guard, and the people turned over on their backs, and there were a lot of losses.

Huang Taiji also never expected that in the season of thousands of choices, it was still impossible to make the firearms of the Ming army dumb.

I also suddenly understood that it was impossible to break through this once-disdainful city wall with ingenuity.

Annoyed and angry, he ordered Mang Gutai to lead two blue banner soldiers and horses, and 10,000 serf troops, to attack the city directly.

He also ordered Ah Shan to lead two red banner soldiers and horses and 10,000 serf troops to go around to the Ningyuan Gate in the east of Jinzhou, and stationed troops outside the only outer city among the four gates of Jinzhou, forming a coercion and waiting for an opportunity to attack the city.

And he himself personally led the two Yellow Banner soldiers and horses, wrapped the remaining serf army, as well as all the armored slaves, and blocked the outside of Yong'an Gate, the south gate of Jinzhou, eyeing the tiger.

At this point, led by Huang Taiji, the new Khan of the Later Jin, the two major Beile Ashan and Mang Gutai participated, and the little Beile Azig and countless Beizi warriors participated in the battle, and finally completed the siege of Jinzhou.

Only a Guangshun gate on the west side was left, and I don't know what the intention was.

Chongzhen can probably guess a few points, it is nothing more than to learn from the slave chieftain's siege of Ningyuan, but it has aroused the belief that Guan Ning's lone army in the city will die with the city, so that the gains outweigh the losses.

Huang Taiji went against his father's way everywhere, his father was in winter, he was in summer, and his father was besieged, and he was in the same place.

It is nothing more than an attempt and a groping for how to attack the impregnable Guanning defensive line.

In the Chinese art of war, it is an obvious but extremely clever strategy to lure the enemy, which can shake the belief of the trapped party to defend the city, and in the process of breaking through, the ambush preset by the encircled party is defeated in one fell swoop.

After all, if the defenders of Jinzhou wanted to break through and return to Guanning, they had to go south, and Huang Taiji happened to personally lead the army to intercept the south of Jinzhou.

This art of war was understandable, but this time he thought badly.

The ancestral family, the Liaodong general, has set all the belongings in Jinzhou, and the elite of the Zu family, headed by Zu Dashou, will never abandon Jinzhou.

Surrender of the city is possible unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, Chongzhen felt that as long as he was still there, Zu Dashou would never be able to fall into such a desperate situation.

In addition, Chongzhen also knew that Huang Taiji, who was a great sweater for the first time, still had extremely strong adventurist blood flowing in his bones.

Just like those stunned youths, some crazy thoughts will always rise in their hearts from time to time, such as allowing Mang Gutai and Ah Shan to continue to besiege Jinzhou, while he himself led the army to secretly withdraw and go straight to Ning Yuan.

Caoyiwei's spy report has confirmed that in the first month of last year, the Houjin army's raid on Juehua Island in the Battle of Ningyuan was caused by this kind of almost crazy and radical thinking.

For the Ming Dynasty, which is becoming more and more conservative militarily, this kind of military thinking that takes the sword to the front can indeed have a surprising effect.

Therefore, he was able to make a detour to enter the customs two years later, which caused a change that shocked the Ming Dynasty and shook the annals of history.

However, at this time, Chongzhen has no time to think deeply about what will happen in two years.

Outside the north gate, shouting to kill the heavens, in front of the north gate of the town, Mang Gutai's offensive was very fierce.

Even after the rainstorm, the sky was still raining uninterruptedly.

However, the two blue banner Jurchen soldiers of Manggutai still drove the 10,000 serf army, divided into several camps, and attacked the north wall of Jinzhou City from time to time with countless waves of offensives, wave after wave.

Especially, it is the north gate of the town.
