Huang Taiji did not have a systematic study of psychology like Chongzhen, and he would never have thought that even this kind of tactical retreat would cause a great blow to people's self-confidence.

Some of the humble armored slaves and Eight Banners soldiers at the bottom couldn't even figure out what was going on.

After all, the glory of trusting this kind of high-end has never been produced among the Jurchens.

This ancient tribe has always known only to drive the human body and enslave the human mind.

The psychological advantage of the unequal between the Ming and Jin armies has been equal. This is the use of psychology in warfare, and Huang Taiji and his slave chief father are quite good at using it, but they are not as good as Chongzhen.

However, war is never based on human will, and right and wrong can be distinguished.

The truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated has long become the truth that has penetrated deeply into the hearts of the Chinese people.

"It's coming! It's almost out of the range of artillery bombardment! Hold on! Hold on a little longer! Huang Taiji hoped that the Ming army would be able to hold out at that time, but he never realized that the first thing that needed to be insisted on was him and his Eight Banners.

Chongzhen will never let go of such a good opportunity, and the simple psychological tactics of the battle of Weishui are just around the corner.

The drums of war at the head of the city suddenly burst into flames.

Out of inertia, the pace of the Ming army also became rapid.

Out of the habit of maintaining a constant distance, the pace of the Eight Banners Army's retreat increased a lot in an instant.

The only difference is that the footsteps of the Ming army are still neat, while the footsteps of the Eight Banners Army, especially the armored slaves who are used to being driven by it, are messy in an instant.

After all, before this, these beast-like beings had always known only forward, not backward.

Even if it is a retreat, it is to wait for a city to be captured, and then retreat fearlessly with his back to the city.

It was the first time that he had slowly retreated in the face of a tall city.

The first time, no matter who it is, it will be more or less nervous.

Just when it was about to reach the maximum range of the Hongyi cannon at the head of Ningyuan City, with the sound of a cannon, all the team leaders and sentinels began to lead their respective subordinates to roar in unison: Jiannu has been defeated! Jiannu is defeated!

"it!" Huang Taiji never thought of the same clumsy tricks, the Ming army would use them again on such a serious battlefield, the key is that the effect is really fucking good.

With a few sporadic shells whizzing and smashing into the pile of armored slaves at the front, this group of fools did not know what the situation was, and out of awe of firearms, they immediately retreated.

Fortunately, there is Huang Taiji's direct Eight Banners Supervisor Clan, otherwise this alone can have a great impact on the Eight Banners Army Formation behind, and with the force of killing many armored slaves, it has stabilized the army's heart.

"It's a pity, but if he is defeated here, he Huang Taiji is not worthy of being called Tiancong Khan." Shigejin chuckled.

"Despicable!" Huang Taiji finally felt his father's grievances, roared angrily, and knew that he could no longer retreat, so he drew out the golden war knife from his father and pointed forward.

"Charge!"

"Woo ......" is different from the war drums of the Ming army, and the Jurchens' attack is good, vigorous and sad.

The Jurchens, who had been aggrieved for a long time, were finally able to use an extremely arrogant posture to wantonly attack the camp of the Ming army - every Jurchen person was like a chicken blood, because they had never seen so many Ming troops.

In particular, these Ming troops were all in a state of detachment from the protection of the city wall, and there was not even a fence military village.

According to past experience, the more Ming troops in this situation, the more they can slaughter freely.

With a string of ancient Jurchen sayings, the moment of impact belonging to the Eight Banners has finally arrived.

In front of the tall Ming Jingshi, he got close to the cavalry that couldn't hide so much, and he couldn't achieve the effect of surprise if he was far away.

There is no better way for Huang Taiji, regardless of whether he occupies the geographical advantage or not, the troops must be deployed. Most of the cavalry he brought with him was cavalry, and even the infantry was very mobile due to the large livestock team.

As the standard-bearer gave the order to attack, the Eight Banners Cavalry, which had already been clearly reconnoitred and hidden in the mountains and forests, quickly surrounded the vast Ming army formation outside the Guangqu Gate.

All of a sudden, the mountains were full of all kinds of Eight Banner cavalry, whistling, so not arrogant and lively.

They seemed to treat the Ming army in the middle as a piece of fatty meat, and wanted to chisel it, cut it, chop it into meat filling, wrap it, cook it in the pot thoroughly, and eat it with a mouth full of oil.

Even if it is not very cooked, it is nothing to the savages who are used to drinking blood.

But will Shigezhen give them that chance? No, it won't!

Momentum and momentum are extremely important for war, political affairs, and the economy. After making so many efforts before, Chongzhen would never allow the Eight Banners Army that had entered the customs to rise like this at this last moment.

First of all, the soldiers who rushed forward, under the leadership of their respective team leaders, sentinels, generals, generals, and commanders, were superimposed layer by layer, as if they were ordered and forbidden, and naturally stopped rushing forward.

Then line up in place, take up your weapons in the most advantageous position, and prepare to meet the enemy.

In the front row are sword and shield soldiers, the shields are strengthened and the steel knives are thickened and weighted.

The results of raising and practicing hard finally came to the fore at this moment, and one by one they played their best under the condition that their stomachs were filled enough, wedged into the ground under their feet like nails.

Seeing that the legendary fierce and savage Jurchen cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the ugly and savage faces of the armored slaves and the Jurchen cavalry were getting closer and closer, the reflection of the opponent's weapons inadvertently crossed his eyes.

However, this group of soldiers, who had been selected by thousands of people, did not have a trace of panic, and were as calm as if they had died in battle.

"Stand up against the city walls and put them to death!"

It's hard to grasp this, but obviously, Chongzhen did it.

Except for Yuan Shisan, who acted as the target of the enemy's charge and cold arrows, the rest of the fierce generals and soldiers around Chongzhen all came to the forefront of the army fighting in this city, either in the middle or in the backing, with their own trained soldiers.

They are like the reinforced concrete in high-rise buildings, playing a vital supporting role.

It is precisely because of this, and it is precisely this kind of sharing of joys and sorrows, that makes this seemingly patchwork army, as soon as it appears on the battlefield, it is like steel pouring iron.

The Lord Regent is in the middle of the battle! The Emperor of the Apocalypse is silently paying attention in the city!

The people and their families are silently waiting for the outcome of this battle in the city!

Withdraw? Where to retreat? What's there to retreat?

Horizontally and vertically, but just killed in battle!

His Royal Highness King Xin had already said: "Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned!" ”

Let's fight! Let's fight! Roar out in silence, let him die in battle!

All the soldiers and generals clenched their weapons and waited for the order.

"Your Highness!" As one of the few remaining generals around him, Zhou Yuji looked at Chongzhen.

Chongzhen silently paid attention to the rapid changes on the battlefield, nodded and said, "Let's start, but you have to take it easy, don't scare away the trapped beasts of Judou." ”

"No!" Zhou Yu Ji stood upright, saluted, and then turned around and strode away, heading to his position, the artillery camp.

The Eight Banners Foot Soldiers drove the armored slaves, and there was probably only one and a half arrows left from the Ming Army's foot soldiers.

Behind are all kinds of cavalry like wolves, raising the speed of the sprint to the extreme.

At this moment, a cannon suddenly rang out at the head of the city!

Rumble!

It is the roar of the Hongyi cannon, the caliber is very large, the noise is very high, and it is very shocking.

The only drawback is probably that it is relatively short. Well, not the length of the barrel, but the range.

The shell smashed into the dirt between the two armies, soaking the ground with snow for days, smashing a small hole and then plowing a long hole.

Huang Taiji, who was standing on a high slope in the distance, almost laughed out loud.

Just because, since the defeat in the Battle of Ningjin, he has been looking for a way to avoid shelling.

The best way is undoubtedly to open the formation, or even pull the Ming army out of the range of the artillery.

Looking at it now, sure enough, the biggest reliance of the Ming army is still only these imported cannons.

Huang Taiji was eager to win, and no longer hesitated, held high the golden sword, and issued a military order for the general attack of the whole army.

It was not easy to lure the Ming army that was in the city to the outside of the city, and if it could not be completely annihilated, it would lose the opportunity forever.

The great Tiancong Khan can't wait any longer.

The eight-colored banner danced wildly, and even if there was no wind, it hunted.

It was at this time that a series of artillery sounds came out from the positions of the Ming army outside the city, and then from three places in succession.

Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom ......

The sound of the cannon is very rhythmic, as if the gunners are firing their guns in an orderly manner according to the commander's instructions.

The style, caliber, tonnage, and style of these cannons are very similar to the original Tiger Squat Cannon.

Only Shigezhen knows that these little guys are infinitely close to the mortars of later generations in modern times.

As long as there is a ration of good gunners and sufficient shells, the rate of fire and the coverage are ......

The only drawback, presumably, is that the flowering bomb has not yet been used.

In fact, the artillery battalion led by Zhou Yuji was on the left and right of the military formation, and the first battalion was led by him personally.

The other battalion was led by Peng Hairpin, who had grown up.

There was also a battalion, led by Luo Li, who was named after Peng Hai, and was deployed behind the Chinese army.

These shells were fired by the anger of his rear artillery battalion, commonly known as hindsight.

Huang Taiji, who was standing on a high slope on horseback, obtained a unilateral telescope through Shang Kexi and the three of them, and soon discovered this scene, as well as the well-concealed left and right artillery battalions.

According to the previous way of fighting, at this time it was necessary to send cavalry to assault the two wings of the Ming army.

In addition, a team of light cavalry was sent around the rear of the Ming army to carry out a surprise attack.

But this time, the Ming army lined up with their backs to the city, the city gate was closed, and the cannon ports at the head of the city were lined up.

"Order, the blue and blue two flags and white armored cavalry, to the left and right flanks of the Ming army!"

"Wow!"

Huang Taiji immediately made a decision and sent two teams of 1,000 cavalry up, giving up the rear, and only breaking left and right.

Old tactics! Jiannu is very proficient!
