Nurhachi rode on his war horse and stared at the city of Shenyang in front of him.

Judging from the current situation, the Ming army in Shenyang was very cautious and did not choose to use cavalry to attack and break the chariot of the Eight Banners.

This also indicates that their offensive may not be able to make much progress this time.

Houjin is not a Ming Dynasty, and without absolute certainty, he will never choose to storm a large city like Shenyang, which is well-defended.

Before the small Qinghe Fort, the red flag paid the price of nearly 4,000 people, not to mention the tall Shenyang City.

At this time, Huang Taiji quietly walked to Nurhachi's side and said: "Qi Qi Great Khan, I just received the news from Qinghe Road, the whereabouts of the three Niu Lu Zheng Red Flags in front of the Yahu Pass are unknown, and they may have been annihilated by the Ming army. ”

After hearing this news, Nurhachi's face sank, the Ming army in the Raven Falcon Pass had always been on the defensive, and now they actually took the initiative to attack. Could it be that the Ming army wants to cut off its own back road? However, fortunately, there are many gaps in the border wall of eastern Liaodong that can be exited, and the Ming army cannot trap itself; Moreover, Yue Tuo stayed behind in Qinghe Fort, and it was expected that the Ming army would not be able to set off any big storms.

Then Huang Taiji said: "According to the intelligence, several reinforcements from the interior of the Ming Dynasty have arrived near Shanhaiguan, and it will reach Liaodong in a few days. ”

Nurhachi was still expressionless, but said lightly: "Sibeile has worked hard, the information is transmitted in a timely manner, and the banners are ordered to seize the plundering of the surrounding areas of Shenyang, and there may be not much time left for us." ”

At this moment, Nurhachi regretted it somewhat in his heart, and originally wanted to take advantage of the weakness of Daming in Liaodong to open up the situation in one fell swoop.

After all, he still underestimated the Ming Dynasty, although he easily defeated the 50,000 Ming troops in the northwest and the two routes, but the casualties in the battle that went deep into Liaodong were quite large, and the gains outweighed the losses.

At this time, the archers of the Ming and Jin sides outside Shenyang were shooting at each other, although the Ming army had the advantage of the city wall, but it was helpless to take the Houjin's chariot.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields in front of the chariot, and very few actually hit the Eight Banners in the rear.

Hou Jin's feather arrows continued to be thrown onto the city walls, which also caused some casualties to the Ming army.

Li Rubai and Yang Hao are also used to seeing big scenes, and they are still more accustomed to this.

Wang Keshou and Zhou Yongchun, two civil officials, where have they seen such a scene?

Although many shield soldiers were already in front of them, the screams of the sporadic arrow-hit soldiers in the city still made them feel very uncomfortable.

In particular, a feather arrow almost hit Zhou Yongchun's face and hit the pillar behind him, which really scared him a lot.

However, they also understood that they could not show their cowardice at the moment, so they still insisted on holding on to the city tower.

Seeing the trembling and frightened appearance of the two, Yang Hao was really a little unbearable, so he said: "There is no sign of attacking the city for the time being, if several of us are above the city tower, it will not be good if the spies in the city take the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes." ”

At this time, the two looked at Yang Hao gratefully, and Wang Keshou said: "What Yang Jingluo said is very true, and I will leave it to the two of you here, and I still have a lot of important matters to deal with the governor of Zhou, so I will retire first." ”

In fact, Yang Hao didn't have a bottom in his heart at this time, he asked softly: "General Li, if Jianyu attacks the city with all his might, how long can Shenyang City last?" ”

Li Rubai said: "Don't worry, there are still a few carefully prepared trenches outside Shenyang City, and it will not be a problem for a large number of artillery to be dragged up for a few days. ”

"No matter how bad it is, there are still a thousand heavy armored infantry of my Li family, even if Jianyu attacks the city, we still have the strength to fight."

Seeing Li Rubai's confident look, Yang Hao was also relieved.

In Qinghe Fort, Li Xianzhong once personally assured him that he would hold on for five days at most, and Jianyu would definitely retreat!

Don't look at the battle caused by Jianyu, there are hundreds of chariots, and seven or eight thousand people are dispatched. It was obvious that they were only feinting, and they were not attacking the city with all their might, which Yang Hao could still see clearly.

However, Li Rubai still decided to teach these prisoners a lesson.

Soon more than a dozen Tiger squat guns were pushed out, and after a simple adjustment of the firing range, everything was ready.

As the gunners' torches fell, the guns at the head of the city erupted in bursts of flame, and one shell after another flew over the carts and exploded directly into the crowd behind; Countless lead shots shot out, piercing through the heavy cloth armor of the Eight Banners.

After the shelling, the enemy positions were in shambles, and the air smelled of sulfur and blood. There were dozens of people lying on the ground, and many of them did not die on the spot, but kept rolling and wailing on the ground in pain!

This has caused the morale of the enemy to plummet!

At this time, Li Rubai's weather-beaten face also showed a smile, and said: "These Jianyu think that at seventy paces away, our fire can't hit them, so they can't help them?" ”

"It's ridiculous!"

Seeing that the artillery bombardment of the tiger squat cannon was very effective, the morale of the Ming army in the city was also greatly boosted; The gunners quickly cleaned the chambers, loaded them with gunpowder and bullets, and soon a second round of shelling was launched.

At this time, even Dai Shan, who had always been the main battle, was anxious, and said: "Great Khan, the artillery of the Ming army is sharp, and the warriors of the two yellow flags have suffered heavy casualties. ”

With a low horn sounding, the Eight Banners soldiers who were hiding behind the chariot were like being pardoned, and soon abandoned the chariot and retreated like a tide.

The Ming army in the city erupted in deafening cheers.

At this time, Yang Hao still had 3,000 elite cavalry in his hands, and he knew that if the cavalry went out of the city at this time, he would take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill Houjin's defeated army, and he would definitely be able to expand the results of the battle.

However, reason quickly made him give up this idea, after all, there were tens of thousands of Jianyu cavalry outside Shenyang. At this time, the attack was too risky, and it was difficult to fall for Jian's plan to lure the enemy.

It is safest to hold the city safely and steadily, and use the advantage of their firearms to continuously kill and injure the captives.

Fortunately, the two old guys were taken down to the city by themselves just now, otherwise they would definitely be shouting in their ears at this moment to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle, and if they don't know, they would have given themselves a charge of "fearing the enemy like a tiger, missing a good opportunity, and returning to the mountain".

The smoke of the battlefield had not yet cleared, and it was full of abandoned carts and about 200 corpses in yellow armor.

Although the losses were not large, they were a great blow to their morale. At this moment, the morale of the Ming army in Shenyang City is high, as long as he does not risk attacking, it is impossible for Jianyu to capture Shenyang.

On the other side, the Eight Banners quickly returned to the camp, and it was obvious that their plan to lure the enemy this time had completely failed, and neither the Ming army in Shenyang nor the Ming army in Liaoyang had any intention of leaving the city.

The raids in the surrounding area did not go smoothly either, and although they expanded their search, they captured only more than 30,000 people and a small amount of livestock and food.

While everyone was still deliberating about what to do next, a fast horse galloped into the camp.

Soon the messenger was taken to the big tent of the Chinese army, and he calmed his breath and said: "Great Khan, thousands of horsemen of the Ming army have killed the Raven Pass, annihilating the Zhenghong Banner that we left outside the Raven Pass. ”

As soon as these words came out, the tent was directly fried, especially Dai Shan, which showed that the ten Niu Lu he left near the Yahu Pass had been reimbursed.

The messenger continued: "The Ming army has rushed directly to the city of Hetuala, and I ask the Great Khan to return to the division quickly!" ”

Although Nurhachi was still calm on the surface at this time, his heart was mixed. He understood that the Ming army was actually doing the same thing as them, they were all stealing from each other.

If he didn't return to the defense in time, it was estimated that the stronghold near Jianzhou would be swept away by the Ming army.

Daming's family is rich and can withstand tosses, but Daikin is different; The coating can be caught again, but the number of flags is scarce, and once it is lost, it is difficult to replenish it in the short term.

Moreover, Da Ming had already taken precautions, and his looting gains around Shenyang were also limited.

Although he was unwilling, he could only choose to withdraw from the army at this time.
