Duoduo looked at it for a while and asked with his face raised, "Khan Ama, can you conquer the city like this?"

"If you don't go down today, you will go down tomorrow." Nuerhaci said: "The commander of the Ming army thought that if he put down so many soldiers and horses and relied on the strong city, he would definitely be able to defend it. This time he would ask him to know what elite soldiers were. Even if he attacked the city, the elite soldiers could still break the incompetent cities defended by the incompetent people, because our soldiers shot more accurately and were more powerful, and they would be more determined when climbing the city. At the same time, they would dig a large hole in the city wall on the north side of the city. If they were attacking like this, the soldiers on the city would be exhausted and suffered heavy casualties. Sooner or later, there would be a gap to ask our soldiers to rush forward, or they would dig the gap, and then it would be their death."

Nuerhaci had deep hatred. He was becoming more and more proud and conceited now, and he hated Yuan Chonghuan's offense to the core.

Duoduo felt this emotion, and he shrank his body and did not dare to speak again.

The shouts and fighting sounds were still constant, and there were still people screaming. The Ming army at the top of the city was constantly being shot at arrows, and the Eight Banners soldiers on the left and right wings began to build high bases to cover the siege and dig the city. This is another powerful weapon for siege. Dozens of steps below the city use sandbags to pile up the siege. Once they piled up to about the same height as the city head, they could let the hundreds of bowmen go up, forming an absolute suppression of the Ming army at the top of the city head. Unlike now, the attacks below are trapped, and the results of the battle are quite limited. If the earth base is piled up, plus hundreds of ladders around, and the rushing carts from the city gate hit the city gate, it is very likely that the Ming army will not be able to take care of it at a certain point, which will cause a global collapse!

Several miles away, Yuan Chonghuan could still see the yellow umbrella cover behind the Eight Banners Army.

There are not many people who dare to hold yellow umbrellas in the army, especially dozens of guards wearing Ming armor around them. It is clear who is under the yellow umbrella.

"Jin Tong!" Yuan Chonghuan suddenly said angrily: "Can the cannon hit the person at the yellow umbrella?"

Ning Yuan Tongzong was responsible for guarding the food and grass, but he was always interested in firing artillery and liked to do the cannon himself. On the top of the city, a civil servant in an official robe ran back and forth between the cannons. Fortunately, no one laughed at him.

"Difficult!" Jin Qizong and artillery officer Luo Li rushed over together. Both of them shook their heads and said, "The distance is nearly five miles, and the shells are exhausted after flying less than three miles. If they can barely hit four miles, they will have no accuracy and strength."

"Can you always try it?"

"Try it, of course I can try it." Jin Qizong said: "The official went to do the artillery himself."

Yuan Chonghuan said to Luo Li: "When Jin Tongzong was on fire, all artillery on the city would bombard downwards. Do not stop shooting before Jianlu retreated."

"Yes, sir."

Yuan Chonghuan's prestige was already above the sky at this moment. No general dared to disobey his orders, and everyone even believed in his orders. This kind of heartfelt support made Yuan Chonghuan more confident, at least on the surface.

When the Later Jin soldiers were most anxious to attack the city, Yuan Chonghuan was also afraid.

As Nuerhaci said, the elite level of soldiers cannot be pulled open by a city wall, not to mention that the number of people in the Later Jin Bi is more than twice as many as the number of people in the Later Jin Bi is definitely able to attack. Moreover, the Jurchens have not suffered much loss. Although the Ming army on the top of the city is not low in morale and is struggling to resist, their shooting skills are not satisfactory, and they are always unable to grasp the opportunity to take action. They have given up many good opportunities in vain. Sometimes they can only hurt the enemy, and it is difficult to kill with one blow.

This is a common problem for ordinary soldiers and even new recruits: being too excited will lead to imbalance in movements.

Yuan Chonghuan clearly saw that the Jurchens were destroyed from the beginning when they boarded the ladder. Now many people have climbed up the squadron and started to fight with the Ming soldiers guarding the city. Although they still ended in failure, this kind of attack method of ants climbing the city can reach the squadron, and the defenders are not far from the failure.

Another thing that Yuan Chonghuan was worried about was that the Jurchens on the north side of the city were digging the city with stones and fire caves, and had already dug a large hole. If this continued, the rammed earth layer would be dug out sooner or later.

Even if the Ming army on the city wall still maintains considerable physical fitness and morale, they can still withstand it today. If the Jurchens change to a group of new forces tomorrow, the Ming army will probably not be able to withstand it.

More than 20,000 people will be around Leh, and the city will fall in about two days. This conclusion is quite cruel, but it also fully reflects the huge gap in combat effectiveness between the Ming army and the Later Jin soldiers.

Unfortunately, the opponent missed a little... Yuan Chonghuan smiled at the corner of his mouth. He sat in the lobby of the city tower, and then suddenly walked quickly towards the door.

Yuan Tianxiang, Zhou Wenyu and others hurriedly followed and saw Yuan Chonghuan walking all the way to the battlement of the city gate.

Several guards quickly came over with their shields and helped Yuan Chonghuan block the arrows.

They all knew Yuan Chonghuan's temper and knew that they could not persuade him to enter, and could only do their own duties.

There were damaged vehicles after damaged under the city gate, which seemed to be blocking the city gate. Many were destroyed by stones or wood, some were burned by fire, some were dispersed, and some were burned quickly and nothing left. But dozens of steps away, a large number of rushers were pushed over, and the vehicles of Hou Jin seemed endless and didn't care about the loss in front of him.

From east to west, there are not many corpses on the battlefield about one and a half miles long. The lethality of the Ming army is still quite limited. More dead people were burned to death by tinder oil or stones, or they were accidentally killed after being overturned, and were shot to death by bows and arrows or swords and guns.

The battlefield was quite tragic. Although there were not many corpses, they were shocking. Some of the broken corpses were still burning in the fire. The damaged ladders and rushing cars were discarded all over the ground. A Jurchen soldier in heavy armor was not dead, but was seriously injured. The man did not shout, but slowly crawled back on the ground. No one paid attention to him. More coats were carrying the ladders and rushed forward. The armored soldiers were preparing, and more rushing cars were pushed forward. People only cared about shouting and rushing forward, and no one cared about these seriously injured people.

"Du!"

A few dozen steps away, a crisp sound could be heard. A heavy arrow was inserted into the back of the seriously injured Jurchen armored soldier. The silver armor was stained red by the blood gushing out. The armored soldier barely crawled a few more steps and finally lay on the ground and stopped moving.

"That's white armor." He Kegang, a guard not far away, clasped his fists to Yuan Chonghuan and said: "It's all the evil things to eliminate, it's hard to be brave in white armor, one less is one."

"It's done very well." Yuan Chonghuan praised quietly, and then he saw Jin Qizong igniting the fuse.

It seemed that he had made some aim before igniting, so he delayed some time. While seeing the igniting, Yuan Chonghuan's right hand slapped heavily on the battlement!

As if something was let go of by this action, after a loud bang, no other sound could be heard.

There seemed to be only this roar between heaven and earth, and even the Jurchens who were shouting and roaring were stunned. They didn't know what had happened for a moment.

"The gunfire is the gunfire!"

Huang Taiji reacted immediately.

There are artillery on the top of the city, and it seems that some people have seen it, but few people take it to heart.

During the bloody battle in Hunhe, the Ming army's artillery left a deep impression on the Eight Banners, but after capturing the Ming army's gunners, they used the Ming army's cannon to bomb the Sichuan soldiers' gun array. The impression left was not a good impression, but rather a very bad one.

There are more than a thousand Folang machines at the head of Liaoyang City. Many artillery fired when siegeing the city. They are not very powerful and do not leave any deep impression on people.

Those Folang aircraft are still left in Liaoyang. The Later Jin gunners were insufficient. They were all captured Ming army gunners in training. Cao Zhenyan was also transferred to the artillery team by Shi Tingzhu for training. Most of the Han army had this experience, but the size of the artillery team was still very small, and the Later Jin side could not cast artillery itself.

At this time, a cannon sound was so loud, powerful, and dynamic that it was completely beyond all the past memories of the Eight Banners soldiers. In their impression, they had never heard of such a powerful cannon sound. The flames spewed out by the cannons on the city were so obvious, so dazzling, surprising and shocking!

"When did the Ming army have such powerful artillery?"

Huang Taiji exclaimed immediately, and many people also had the same thoughts, so there were not a few people who exclaimed the same exclamation.

Dai Shan opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Dorgon stared at him, and Ajige, who was planning to lead his troops to rush forward, quietly took a few steps back.

More generals also stared at each other, and the loud noise and flames in front of them shocked them.

At this time, more gunfire sounds rang out, one after another, and the entire Ningyuan city was filled with fire and thick smoke, and there was also a huge shock.

The shells flew out with a scream and smashed into the middle of the Jurchens.

There are too many people, so you can almost no need to aim too carefully to hit the target accurately. The artillery shell weighing more than ten pounds exudes unimaginable power under the huge kinetic energy. The shell fell to the ground and directly smashed more than a dozen people away. The hit person immediately smashed into a ball of meat sauce!

The flesh and blood fly everywhere, and the complete human body is almost invisible.

The head, limbs, and internal organs are almost all flying in the air.

A Jurchen soldier saw his companion blown away by shells. The veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time kept screaming and couldn't stop at all. A white armor rushed over and smashed the guy with the hilt of the knife.

The white armor could not stay there. They could not face the power of this kind of artillery head-on. No matter how strong the warrior was, it was useless in front of the artillery. Everyone tried to find a safe place, but after the second round of artillery fired, they directly hit it around the corner, which made them understand that the power of this artillery was greater than their imagination, and even the range was beyond their previous understanding.

A veteran who had been fighting for many years said angrily: "Ming Army is cheating!"

No one wants to laugh. This is indeed the idea of ​​many people. With such powerful artillery, how can this city attack?

Huang Taiji suddenly remembered something, and when he looked back, he was really exhausted.

Many people also saw that Lao Han's yellow umbrella cover was retreating rapidly behind the formation.
