"Chain him!" Yuan Chonghuan said with a fierce look: "The reward for fifty taels of silver for shooting this person to death!"

There were more than a hundred archers near the city tower, and they immediately drew arrows and aimed at them as soon as they heard this.

When the enemy cavalry saw it, he quickly shouted: "Mr. Yuan, don't you even want to read anything written in the book?"

The archers and generals were hesitant. Yuan Chonghuan's face looked like iron, and the black-faced one became even more powerful. He waved his right hand hard and said furiously: "Cum for me!"

No one hesitated any longer. All the archers pulled the arrows in their hands and shot them at the rider.

At least nearly a hundred arrows were shot at the first time, and the sound of the collapsed and pulling the bowstring kept ringing. The cavalry immediately became extremely embarrassed. He lay on the horse and ran back quickly. The arrows on his side fell all over the ground, and he was hit by a few arrows on his back. The man was also tough and didn't say anything. He pulled the horse and ran dozens of infantry before getting up, and then slowly ran back to his own formation.

A moment later, waves of horns came from the Jurchen camp.

A large number of cavalry swarmed from east, west, south and north, and at least more than ten thousand cavalry gathered together. They ran back and forth along the Ningyuan city wall, constantly making strange screams and roars.

The four sides were covered with gray and black, mainly black, and there were running cavalry everywhere. Some flag dogs wearing cotton armor were naked, showing their braids behind their heads when they rode their horses and kept flying in the air.

Everyone waved their iron weapons in their hands, or aimed at the city wall with bows and arrows.

While galloping past, the Jurchen soldiers made various provocative poses and made sarcastic screams.

The power of tens of thousands of cavalry whistling by is unimaginable. When the Jurchen cavalry whistled by, the people on the city seemed to be sitting on a boat floating above the sea, with roaring waves everywhere. It seemed that when the next wave came, they would overturn the boat and press everyone under the cold sea water.

Most of the Ming army on the front of the city faced pale, including Needin of the general.

More than 90% of the people in this city have never fought a war or experienced a real battlefield.

Their equipment and treatment left the Ming army in Liaozhen in the Battle of Sarhu far behind, but the battlefield experience and fighting will were far behind.

Not only ordinary soldiers, but also Du Song's main force in the Ming army during the Battle of Sarhu was Du Song, and more than 300 officers with famous surnames were killed in battle. These were not ordinary officers, but all were old men with many years of experience in fighting. With these officers in the army, they could easily control the 20,000 troops, but unfortunately they all died on the battlefield.

In the subsequent several defeats, those who lost were death-death soldiers. For example, the general He Shixian, who dared to rush out of the city to invite battle against the superior enemy, the Zhejiang general who fought bloody battles in Hunhe, and the 30,000 Liao soldiers and Xuan soldiers who went out of the city to fight bloody battles with the Eight Banners soldiers under the leadership of the Liaodong Marshal Yuan Yingtai.

They all died, including a large number of military officers from the Thousand Generals to the Generals.

Nowadays, Liao Town is inexperienced from generals to soldiers. Zhao Rujiao was a Qianzheng general a few years ago. Zu Dashou was just a garrison in the Battle of Sarhu, and he became a guerrilla in the Battle of Guangning.

Man Gui was a garrison six or seven years ago. Later, after Yang Hao was defeated, he promoted a new young general. Man Gui was appreciated by Yang Hao and Wang Xiangqian. He gradually went from garrison to guerrillas and generals. In the second year of Tianqi, Sun Chengzong went to Liaodong to meet Man Gui, appreciated his appearance and eloquence, and was promoted to the deputy general, and ordered him to station in the distance to farm. This made Man Gui gradually come to the position of a senior military general.

The generals have been promoted on the front line in recent years, and the qualifications of the generals at all levels below are similar to those of their chief officers. Even if they are very old and cannot be promoted for so many years, it fully demonstrates their lack of ability.

Liao Town shines brightly and its combat power becomes the leader of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, mainly in the next three or four years.

Through the Battle of Ningyuan and Ningjin, there are also continuous small-scale war training, including the battle of suppressing peasant army and the battle of four cities, and the Battle of Denglai after the Wuqiao mutiny, a series of wars determined the position of the first combat power of the Iron Cavalry in Guanning, Liaoxi, and fully trained the generals.

Ningyuan is really far from now.

"Beat the drum." Yuan Chonghuan's face turned a little pale, but he was still quite calm.

Beside him was Yuan Shenggao, Yuan Tianchi, Zhou Wenyu and other aides and inner courtesy, and a little farther away were Man Gui and Zu Dashou and other generals. Yuan Chonghuan showed no timidity or fear. With his nature, he was indeed a bit barbaric. Whether for the court or the country, or for his own fame and fortune, Yuan Chonghuan did have the barbaric and ruthlessness that ordinary people could not get away with. Even if he fought for his own life, he would be willing to do so.

The drum sounded, and dozens of big drums suppressed the howling outside the city. More soldiers rushed to the city, and almost every head of the bush was full of people. Be careful to take weapons, otherwise it would easily hurt the robes around you, and the urns and several corner towers, and the arrow towers were also full of people.

The city was full of weapons guarding the city, including tinea oil, wood, stones, and ten thousand enemies. The more eye-catching one is the red cannon with a hundred steps away.

Even the most timid person, seeing people standing around him, dense weapons giving people a sense of security, all around him, officers are there, everyone is in the city, and no one can escape in panic, which gives the recruits a sense of security. If someone is in the wilderness of the battlefield, there may be someone running first at any time, and people will feel suspicious and serious insecurity in their minds. Veterans can overcome it and know when the time is really to run away, and new recruits are easily defeated and fled because of a little twists and turns. The generals clearly want to fight, but they can't suppress the recruits. As a result, veterans and Need are easily defeated and fled by the recruits.

It’s different on the top of the city. New recruits can easily overcome psychological obstacles and quickly grow into veterans.

The red cannons on the front of the city give people a sense of peace of mind. The heavy cannon body weighs nearly 6,000 kilograms, which is simply a giant. An extremely complex and solid cannon stand is needed to be built on the front of the city to help stabilize the cannon body when the cannon is set off.

Every time the fire is opened, the muzzle will emit extremely long flames, which will make people deaf. Then the cannon shells will hit a very far distance, but after landing, the ground will collapse and crack, which is so powerful that it is unimaginable.

In front of such red cannons, such as tiger squatting cannons, guns and guns, generals and Flangers, all became jokes.

This cannon was fished from the Portuguese shipwreck by the Ming Dynasty. It was actually a semi-snake gun used for naval battles and was not suitable for land battles. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's chariot and cannon camp was still an old-style cannon. This imitation cannon was called the Red Barbarian cannon. Later, a Qing Dynasty emperor who liked to beat rabbits was added with many names. In fact, it was the 18-pound cannon. Compared with the artillery before the Ming army, it was powerful enough.

Standing next to such a giant firearm, even if it had not roared, it still made the Ming soldiers on the city feel at ease.

A young general came over and asked for instructions: "Sir, should you fire the cannon?"

Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand and said, "It's important to use it, and then use it when the enemy cavalry attacks the city."

"Yes, the last general knows." The young general retreated respectfully. Yuan Chonghuan felt the change in the attitude of the soldiers, and he was very satisfied!

Before this, Yuan Chonghuan was a person who was under his control of his identity and status, so he often killed martial artists. He did not want to be overthrown by warriors.

Bi Zisu was the governor of Liaodong, but when he was late, he encountered a change of military pay. He was held by the rebels with a knife on his neck. A high-ranking fourth-rank official was beaten and scolded by a group of Qiu Ba. Yuan Chonghuan clearly remembered that a rebel soldier kept slapping Bi Zisu in the face with his forehand and backhand, which made the governor's face full of blood.

Later, the court settled the matter and the rebellious soldiers who beat people did not have any trouble, so they dispersed after paying military salaries.

Bi Zisu was a strong person by nature. Later, after the mutiny subsided, he refused to eat. He died of suicide after being hungry for more than ten days.

Yuan Chonghuan saw the whole story very clearly, and at that time he vowed that he would never end up like Governor Bi. Many years have passed, and now he is only one step away from the position of Governor Liaodong. As long as he keeps Ningyuan, he will definitely be Governor Liaodong. Yuan Chonghuan was filled with emotion for a moment, and his thoughts were very messy.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that after today, Yuan Chonghuan's prestige among the soldiers in Liao Town will be unmatched.

At the most critical moment, Yuan Chonghuan stood on the top of the city and commanded it as if he was determined. All the generals were in line with each other and obeyed his command. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, Yuan Chonghuan's status would be irreplaceable.

No matter who the general is, who is the deputy general, general, or governor, or even a new strategy, no one, whether civil officials or military general, can replace Yuan Chonghuan's position in the Liaodong army. This position was not given by the emperor, nor was it seized by power, nor was it bragged about by false reputation. This was the reputation that was at the top of the city at this moment to fight for his life.

Some people say that after Yuan Chonghuan left, the Liao incident became increasingly unrest. From the perspective of civil officials restraining military generals, this sentence is correct.

After Yuan Chonghuan, the Governor of Ji Liao was replaced with many positions. The most famous one was Hong Chengchou. He could not restrain the generals in Liao Town and had a very poor ability to withstand pressure from the court. If Yuan Chonghuan was replaced at that time, the situation might not have developed to that extent, and it might not have been defeated so miserably.

Of course, no one dared to be sure of what happened afterwards. At least at this time, Yuan Chonghuan took his duties and identity.

Under his red robe was a short, black and thin body, but at this moment, he was majestic and extremely tall.

...

It was cold in the evening. After Huang Taiji entered the tent, someone immediately came in and raised the brazier, and the tent became much warmer.

While the coats were doing these things, Huang Taiji looked at them calmly, neither saying they were cold nor warm. He was leaning on a wolf-skinned mattress to read books, and he looked extremely deep.

During this period, some nobles from the Eight Banners and the Great Continent visited Huang Taiji. Seeing that the Four Beile was restless and in a low mood, they all said goodbye and left one by one.

After dark, Baoyi brought the food. Huang Taiji took a few simple bites and asked someone to take it out.

After dinner, Dai Shan sent Ye Chen to visit. This man was the general of Zhenghongqi, and now it was Meleezhen. Huang Taiji knew that Dai Shan had always regarded this confidant general as the future Gushan Ezhen, so he sat up and talked to Ye Chen.
