The winter afternoon should have been full of tranquility and harmony, but with Huang Taiji's order, two white flags and yellow flags replaced the two blue flags that had been frustrated in the morning's attack, and slowly came to the outside of Zunhua City with sixteen cannons and cannonballs.

At this time, Fan Wencheng had already deployed the craftsmen he brought with him and some Han army banner soldiers, and prepared clear water around each artillery, ready to cool down the barrels at any time.

These craftsmen themselves are experts in making artillery, and the command operation is naturally handy, and then one was implicated in the explosion of Wang Gong's factory and then surrendered to Liaodong, and at this time they are also gearing up to make meritorious contributions in front of the new master.

At this time, Tong Yangxing, the commander of the Han Army Banner, looked at the artillery that had been operated, and remembered that he had followed Huang Taiji's Chinese army all the way to the end of the road, but he couldn't help but be glad that he wanted to emerge under this Zunhua City.

"Eh, are the soldiers ready now?"

In order to test the artillery, Huang Taiji also came to Zunhua City with Dolgon and others, looked at Tong Yangxing and asked.

Tong Yang said flatteringly: "Don't worry, Da Khan, it's basically ready, and when you give the order here, you will start testing the gun!" ”

"Well, then what are you waiting for? Let's get ready for launch! ”

At this time, the faces of the Jiannu people were different, Huang Taiji and Dolgon were firm in their hands to win, Fan Wencheng and Tong Yangxing were deliberately welcoming and flattering, Haoge, Azig and Duoduo were a little suspicious, Amin and Mang Gurtai were full of unwillingness, and even the two of them hoped in their hearts that the artillery would not work, and Huang Taiji would also suffer a loss.

At this time, I saw that the soldiers of the Han army began to load ammunition under the guidance of craftsmen, and several kilograms of spherical solid shells began to ignite and fire after being loaded.

The people of Huang Taiji, who had been prepared for a long time, retreated one after another, only to hear the loud sounds of "bang", "bang", "bang" echoing endlessly, a round of salvo, sixteen artillery shells smashed directly towards Zunhua City with lightning speed, as if they wanted to raze Zunhua City directly to the ground.

Although Huang Taiji and the others had already prepared early, they still felt as if the sky was falling apart around them, and if they were still like this on their side, the Zunhua City in the distance must not be much better!

On Zunhua City, the officers and soldiers defending the city had just repelled the two blue flags in the morning, although they saw Jiannu Chen soldiers outside at the beginning, but they were not prepared at all, this round of artillery directly harvested the lives of many officers and soldiers defending the city, and even the city gate was opened by this round of artillery.

"It's not good, Jiannu has artillery, hurry up and find the chief soldier, immediately load the artillery and start firing back."

A lieutenant was in danger at this time, and organized manpower artillery to fight back while giving orders.

At this time, Zhao Shujiao also rushed to the vicinity of Zunhua City, and after hearing the sound of artillery, he shouted that it was not good, so he led the cavalry directly to the main gate of Zunhua City.

"Qi Qi Great Khan, do you think we should disperse some directly, I estimate that the Ming army will start to use artillery shells to fight back in a while, as the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, what do you see?" Fan Wencheng admonished at this time.

I saw Huang Taiji confidently said: "Don't be afraid, those people in the city should also do it at this time." ”

Everyone looked at Huang Taiji with a puzzled face, thinking that it was difficult for him to have a backhand, but Dolgon thought that this Huang Taiji was really thoughtful and strategic, and when did he get into the city, he and the others didn't know anything!

"Don't be stunned, keep putting it on!"

At this time, Tong Yangxing, who was in the distance, couldn't help urging after watching the first round of artillery firing successfully.

Huang Taiji looked at everyone and explained: "That's the case, these cities in the border pass of the Ming Dynasty, I have arranged that the inner should be mixed into the city, in order to prepare for the siege of the city, and now under the heavy attack of artillery, they found that this time it was not a temptation to seize the city gate." ”

"The Great Khan is wise!" Everyone said in unison, Huang Taiji also enjoyed this feeling, and couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, but he also saw the trace of dissatisfaction that flashed in the eyes of Amin and Mang Gurtai.

Amin and Mang Gurtai were really angry in their hearts, they were originally pioneers, they fought a few battles with Chahar on the Mongolian steppe, and broke through the blockade of Lin Dan Khan with the help of Korqin, but the three Dolgon brothers had already broken through, and finally grabbed the main merit of Zunhua and made a disgraced face, which was a real achievement.

What's even more annoying is that Dolgon got a lot of supplies and returned to the camp with more than a dozen artillery pieces when the two of them fought Zunhua, and now they heard that Huang Taiji also had an internal response in Zunhua City, and the two of them finally couldn't hold it back.

Amin asked directly: "Great Khan, since there is Neiying in the city, why didn't Neiying come to help when he attacked Zunhua in the morning, could it be that our two blue flags are not the Great Khan's subordinates?" ”

"Could it be that the Great Khan doesn't want the two of me to get the first credit for capturing Zunhua!"

Mang Gurtai also said in a strange way on the side.

"Presumptuous!"

Huang Taiji couldn't bear it anymore and said directly: "Let me ask, did the two of you advance to within three hundred steps outside Zunhua City when you attacked the city, or did you give Zunhua City a heavy blow like this kind of artillery?" ”

In a word, the two of them stopped talking, because they knew that what Huang Taiji said was the truth.

"The victory of the strange soldiers mainly lies in the word 'strange', the siege of the two of you in the morning did not kill the enemy, let alone approach the city of Zunhua, and even whether the people in the city know that you are attacking the city is difficult to judge, and how can you come to help the two of you."

"Father Khan is angry, and the two Baylors are just momentarily speechless."

At this time, Hauge hugged his fists and glanced at the two at the same time.

Amin and Mang Gurtai also hurriedly said at this time: "The Great Khan is angry, the two of us have really come all the way without accomplishment, and I am anxious in my heart, and I have no intention of saying anything for a while, and I hope that the Great Khan will forgive my sins." ”

Huang Taiji didn't want to get too stiff with the two at this time, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "I can understand the two brothers' meritorious deeds, but don't say such words again, this matter is not an example." ”

The two nodded yes, and at this time, a scout Pegasus came, rolled the saddle and dismounted: "Qi Great Khan, thousands of Ming cavalry were found outside Zunhua City, I think it is a reinforcement from Zunhua City, please show the Great Khan." ”

After hearing this, Huang Taiji asked aloud: "Which warrior annihilated this reinforcement for me?" ”

Amin and Mang Gurtai, who were just vying for meritorious service, were silent at this time, and the two of them were now bent on marching into Zunhua, and they didn't want to make any more extraneous branches.

I saw Azig take a step forward and said: "Great Khan, Azig is willing to annihilate the reinforcements on this road for the Great Khan." ”
