Because of the evacuation of the Mongolian soldiers, Sun Chuanting's soldiers took Daxing Fort without blood.

After leaving a part of the garrison, Sun Chuanting did not stop at all, and went straight to Jinzhou City.

As the starting point of the Guanning Jinfeng Line, the geographical location of Jinzhou is very important.

If you look at the map, then you can see that the entire Guanningjin defense line is like a long and narrow finger on the map.

If Jiannu wants to enter the customs and enter the Ming Dynasty, unless it is a detour to Mongolia, otherwise, he can only go to Jinzhou, pass Ningyuan, and then pass through Shanhaiguan.

And Jinzhou is the starting point of this Guanning Jin defense line, as long as Jinzhou can be held, it is equivalent to setting up a steel-like barrier in front of Jiannu.

If it weren't for the fact that Mongolia threw itself into Jiannu, Jiannu could make a detour from Mongolia into the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers of Jiannu would not have been able to enter the Ming Dynasty for half a step.

Now, Jianzhou is in front of him, and seeing that the recovery of Jinzhou is in sight, even Sun Chuanting's calm temperament can't help but be a little excited.

In the face of Sun Chuanting's army, Zilharang was not idle, he sent cavalry along the way and set up ambushes, wanting to take advantage of the terrain to eliminate some of the Ming army's soldiers.

As a result, Sun Chuanting was unmoved, and the entire marching style was in one word, that is, stability!

If you don't be greedy for merit, you don't take the plunge, and whoever dares to go ahead without obeying orders will be engaged in military law even if you have made meritorious service.

Sun Chuanting worked steadily and steadily, gradually advancing, and made up his mind to directly push Jiannu.

After all, a true celebrity knows how to make good use of his strengths.

Obviously, you can use the advantage to push flat, but you have to use some kind of tricks, that's not a famous general, that's cerebral palsy.

Sun Chuanting, who had fought for half his life, naturally would not do that kind of stupid thing, and steadily advanced to Jinning City along the way, without giving Jierharang a chance at all.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting's army was approaching the city, he knew that he had no chance to defend Jinzhou City directly.

Having learned from the experience of Tashan Fort, Zilharang simply sealed the city gate directly, and arranged heavy troops on the city wall to strictly defend it.

Zilharang believed that no matter how strong the Ming army's firepower was, as long as they could not enter Jinzhou City, there would be no big problem.

As for the artillery of the Ming army, it is a big deal to wait for the Ming army to open fire, withdraw the soldiers, and when the Ming army attacks the city, then transfer people up.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners of Jinzhou City all knew that if this battle could not be held, the Qing Dynasty would be over, so even if the artillery of the Ming army was powerful, the soldiers of the Eight Banners would not be afraid, as long as the Ming army could be kept out of the city, Jinzhou City would not be lost.

It's just a pity that Zilharang is still too powerful for gunpowder.

After Sun Chuanting asked people to blow up the city gate, he found that the city gate had been blocked by various obstacles, so he simply ignored the city gate, and directly began to let people use a large amount of gunpowder to start selecting the weak point of a section of the city wall and start to blow up the city wall.

After the city wall was blown up, Sun Chuanting was not in a hurry to attack, and directly asked the soldiers to block the gap in the city wall that was blown up, and whoever dared to defend this opening would shoot him directly.

The biggest advantage of the Ming Dynasty's firearms is the range and rate of fire, and now the soldiers of Jiannu are different from the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who had no will to fight under Hong Chengchou before, they are obviously defending the city with the psychology of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat.

Even if they are killed at this moment, they will not surrender like Hong Chengchou, and when the time comes, they will undoubtedly abandon their strengths and go to fight with Jiannu, so that Sun Chuanting will not do this kind of loss-making business.

So he stared at the gap that was blown out, and if Jiannu defended it, he would use this gap to kill Jiannu's soldiers.

And if Jiannu dares not to defend it, then he will directly occupy this gap, so as to capture the city wall, and the loss of Jiannu will undoubtedly be greater at that time.

Therefore, after opening this gap, Sun Chuanting, who was originally the besieging party, completely grasped the initiative, making the two people who were defending the city, Jierharang and the imperial prince a little dilemma, and they could only find something to block the gap in the city wall, and at the same time use human lives to block the Ming army from capturing this gap.

But the gap is a thing, Sun Chuanting can blow it up once, and he can blow it up a second time.

Therefore, after Jiannu almost blocked the gap with flesh and blood, Sun Chuanting blew up the gap again, and blew up two in a row.

After this set of operations, Zilharang's mentality collapsed.

But the problem is that the reason why Sun Chuanting didn't want to enter the city to fight in the streets was because he didn't want too many casualties, so he didn't rush to attack.

But if he let Sun Chuanting in to fight in the streets, it would not be a casualty for him, but the entire Jinzhou City would have to be lost at that time.

Using the casualties of the Ming army to exchange the entire Jinzhou City, Jierharang would definitely not do it, so even if he knew that Sun Chuanting was bleeding him little by little, he had to bite the bullet and continue to let people continue to block it with his life.

After all, being bloodletted, he can still silently wait for a turnaround, looking forward to the possibility of a turnaround.

But if you let people in, there is no hope at all.

Therefore, while using the lives of the soldiers to defend the gap blown up by Sun Chuanting, Ji'er Harang sent someone to send a letter to Huang Taiji.

It's just that although the support is very difficult, he did not ask Huang Taiji for help in his heart, but used an extremely solemn tone in the letter to repeatedly warn Huang Taiji not to send reinforcements over.

Now they can barely support the city for a while by relying on the advantages of the city, but if it is a field battle, after encountering the Ming army, it will be crushed at all.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting must have already set up an ambush at this time, just waiting for Huang Taiji to send reinforcements.

If Huang Taiji rashly sent reinforcements without knowing it, I am afraid that how many would die.

Therefore, the letter written by Zilharang, in addition to telling Da Ming about the current firepower situation, is to ask Huang Taiji not to send reinforcements over, and let him stand still and wait for the opportunity.

Before the war, Huang Taiji had prepared for the worst, so there was no shortage of grain and grass in Jinzhou City.

Therefore, Zilharang's current plan is to use the abundant grain and grass in the city to consume it with Sun Chuanting.

The vanguard army composed of their Qing Dynasty and Mongolian soldiers had more than 200,000 people in Jinzhou City, and he was not afraid of the dead.

In addition, he has observed clearly in the past few days, probably because this kind of firearm is too powerful, the Ming army actually equipped most of the soldiers with that kind of firearm.

Although most of the time, this kind of firearm with an extremely long range can crush other troops.

But the crux of the matter is that gunpowder is used, and the deadliest thing about gunpowder is that it is afraid of water!

Therefore, Zilharang gritted his teeth and let Sun Chuanting eat away at his army little by little, just waiting for an opportunity.

Or, to be exact, he's waiting for a heavy rain!

It's almost May, and June and July are the rainy seasons outside the gates.

So, Zilharan only needs to hold out for another month or two, and when a heavy rainstorm comes, he can launch a counteroffensive.

And Sun Chuanting didn't know whether he didn't perceive Zilharang's intentions, or didn't take this matter to heart, and he was still attacking the city unhurriedly.

It's just that Zilharang can't hold on to Jinzhou City, so Sun Chuanting didn't let all the army dry up in Jinzhou City, but let part of the army bypass Jinzhou City and camp in several dangerous places behind Jinzhou City, as if he was ambushing someone.

In the midst of this stalemate, two months passed quickly, and it was July.

In the past two months, nearly 80,000 people have been killed in Jinzhou City, and the vanguard army sent by Jiannu can be said to be almost disabled.

But in this case, Sun Chuanting still did not rush to order a strong attack on Jinzhou City, as if he was waiting for something.

In addition, because the rear has been cleaned up, Jiannu will not affect the supply line of Daming at all, so Daming's logistics materials have been continuously transported in the past two months.

Among these materials, in addition to grain and grass, the most are small boxes wrapped in oiled paper.

These small boxes, which were extremely large in number, were directly and secretly sent to the soldiers below after they were transported to Sun Chuanting's military camp.

As for what was in the box, no one knew, because Sun Chuanting gave a strict order, and those who did not get the order to open the box without permission would be killed.

With the harshness of the law of joint sitting in the army, no one dared to ignore Sun Chuanting's military orders, even if some spies forcibly opened the box without regard for their lives, they only saw some yellow, orange and orange things like rifle bullets, and no one could guess what these things were used for.

……

It seems that due to natural disasters, this year's rainy season came a little later.

After waiting for more than two months, Zilharang finally saw a little sign of rain.

Looking at the black clouds in the sky that seemed to be about to be suppressed, Zilharang squirmed his chapped lips a few times, and finally said nothing, except let out a hysterical laugh, as if he had gone mad.

The period of more than two months is probably the most difficult time in Zilharang's life.

Sun Chuanting besieged but did not attack, waiting for him to send someone to death every day, and if he didn't send it, then Sun Chuanting would seize those gaps, causing him greater casualties, forcing him to do so at the expense of casualties, and then drive Sun Chuanting, who had no intention of occupying this gap, again.

It was a little better at the beginning, with his prestige, even if those soldiers knew that they were nine deaths, they would rush into the gap and block the offensive of Sun Tradition with their flesh and blood.

But as time passed, and more and more people died, it was obvious that his prestige and the overseers were a little bad.

The soldiers became war-weary, fearful of death, and even began to mutini and flee.

In the half month of July alone, the Overseers suppressed nearly twenty small-scale mutinies, an average of almost one every day.

Zilharang had hardly slept for a day during this time, and if it didn't rain for a few more days, even if the army didn't rebel, his body wouldn't be able to bear it.

But fortunately, now that it is finally raining, his torment is completely over.

"Dolgon, clear the city gates, prepare for battle, if this rain can fall before nightfall, then we will go out of the city and attack the Ming army at night."

Because Sun Chuanting only cared about blowing up the city wall and didn't care about the city gate at all, during this time, Zilharang had quietly cleared the obstacles at the city gate, so that he could attack even if he went out of the city after it rained.

After Dolgon received the order, Zilharan did not rest, but came to the city wall with a serious expression.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

He knew that the fire gun couldn't see water, and Sun Chuanting must know it too.

Seeing that it was going to rain heavily at the moment, in his opinion, Sun Chuanting would definitely launch the last offensive at all costs.

Therefore, he had to stop Sun Chuanting's offensive no matter what.

As long as Sun Chuanting's offensive can be stopped, then he will win half of this battle in the Qing Dynasty, as for the other half......

Zilharang looked up at the east, and when he saw the rain, he thought that Huang Taiji should have already sent troops.

As long as the main army of Huang Taiji arrives, there will be no suspense in this battle.

"Sun Chuanting, the last mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, is nothing more than that."

"In this battle, I will leave you behind, I want to see what else you have in Daming!"
