The battle between the Pou Nu Army and the Break Army in Taiyuan was not fierce. The Pou Nu Army used 3,000 cavalry to kill Zhuanshanbao, Yang Tiech and more than 10,000 troops around them. 200,000 refugees in the north of Taiyuan were captured by the Pou Nu Army. The 150,000 rebels in the south of Taiyuan City fled south under the leadership of General Liu Zongmin and General Tian Jianxiu. The captured refugees Pou Nu Army took them to naturalize in batches to enrich the number of Han people in the Pou Nu City Xuanwei envoy. The Qinchuan cavalry, who had a blood feud with the Pou Nu Army, were wiped out in this battle, and only a few people could escape. The Pou Nu Army looked down on the merits of the Taiyuan Battle, and all its military achievements were given to the Datong border army. Thousands of border troops in Datong laughed out loud in their dreams.

The reason why the Pou Nu Army let the Break Army escape from Taiyuan and adopted the follow-up and pursuit tactic was to drive the Break Army to the vicinity of Jiexiu. In this war, we still have to drive the Break Army. When we can set up a archway, the highest level of politics is to be political. The Break Army is almost all infantry, and they are gradually forced outside Jiexiu City under the encirclement and blocking of the Break Army cavalry. Then, Tian Peng released the captured Break Army soldiers back to send a message. The Break Army was about to start a truce, and the Break Army must stay in the open space five miles south of Jiexiu. If there are any abnormal movements during the Break Army, they will be hit hard by the Break Army army. At this point, the generals of the Break Army finally knew why the Break Army played the trick of catching cats and mice with them. It turned out that they were responsible for defeating Jiexiu City.

When the Po Nu Army blatantly attacked Jiexiu City, Liu Zongmin, the general of the Breaking Army's power, could only saliva while watching the battle. In just seven days, the fifteen people fled from the Taiyuan battlefield became less than 50,000, which also gave the Po Nu Army courage to soar. The Po Nu Army's 40,000 soldiers surrounded Jiexiu from afar, and only more than 10,000 soldiers were arranged north of Jiexiu. For this siege, Yang's sister's artillery team brought five ten-pound heavy artillery and fifty five-pound cannons, using heavy artillery in front and light cannons to arrange them behind. The muzzle was facing the strongest north gate of Jiexiu City. Two hundred box trucks and crossbows distributed the two wings of the cannon position, and six thousand musketeers were guarded. Another five thousand musketeers were waiting to be on the sword and rushed to the Jiexiu City wall at any time.

The Pou Nu Army has not many equipment to prepare for siege, most of which are about three feet of wooden ladders. However, more than ten flying bridges were prepared for breaking through the moat outside Jiexiu City. With artillery, the Death Death Chariot of the Slave Army withdrew from the battlefield. According to the words of Zhang Dashang, the future artillery will be the God of the battlefield to bomb the city walls by relying on human life. The Pou Nu Army does not need it. Following up the attack were the three thousand Pou Nu Army cavalry, their combat goal was to assault the city and eliminate the resistance in the city as quickly as possible. The Datong border army was left near Taiyuan to help the auxiliary soldiers transport captured refugees. According to Zhang Dashang's instructions, the Datong border army can arbitrarily extort Taiyuan City to raise its own military pay for three years. In the eyes of the Datong border army, with the open opening of the Chinese country, they can sit outside the Taiyuan City and ask for rescue money with the rich in the city. Why not do such a beautiful person?

As usual, the heavy artillery of the Pound Army must use live ammunition to determine the shooting position. The three rounds of test fires allowed both the offensive and defending sides to see the power of the heavy artillery. Two of the heavy artillery hit the North Gate Tower and instantly collapsed half of the wooden tower. The flying rubble and large pieces of wooden blocks brought out the rolling smoke and dust. The live ammunition of the heavy artillery could destroy the city wall by one foot. The collapsed bricks and stones poured downwards, forming the marks left by the mud and sand waterfalls. Although Jiexiu defenders fought back with artillery guns, they fired live ammunition, which was absorbed by the sandbags in front of the artillery position of the Pound Army. Jiexiu Ming army took the silver, so they would not have attracted wolves into the house like Luoyang defenders. These defenders knew that since the invasion of the treacherous thieves in Shanxi, eight great merchants in the city had gathered the goods from nearby villages in the city.

After receiving the news that the thief arrived in Shanxi, the "Sanjiang" cargo warehouse patted the butt and transported the goods to the capital. The "Sanjiang" cargo warehouse was an outsider, and they could run away, but other wealthy merchants dared not run away. The robbery during the Tianqi period completely scared these people. The eight Shanxi merchants kept their money in Jiexiu City whenever they made money. In addition to the officers and soldiers, there were also the servants and tribe members of the eight Shanxi merchants who guarded the city walls. They knew that defending Jiexiu was also protecting their families. When the banner of the Destroyed Slave Army appeared outside the city, these Shanxi merchants had no extravagance. They knew the character of the Duke of China Zhang Ping'an, who knew the most. They knew more about what Zhang Ping'an wanted to do that shameless thing. Zhang Ping'an in the Tianqi period wanted to find excuses to plunder Jiexiu. At that time, the Minister of War Sun Chengzong of the Ministry of War could still suppress Zhang Ping'an.

Now that the old man Sun Chengzong has gone to immortality, the Ming Dynasty can no longer suppress Zhang Ping'an. The Shanxi merchants, who were not lucky enough to take out 800,000 taels of silver and made a promise to kill the Posou Army and reward fifty taels of silver. Baojie Xiu will not lose the rewards of the generals of the official army. The wealth of the ghosts will make people work hard. This famous saying is particularly suitable for Jiexiu defenders. Jiexiu hundreds of Jiexiu defenders changed their minds from the initial horror. They were crazy and used earth bags to reinforce the destroyed city walls. The Posou Army's ten-kilogram cannon has a maximum range of nine miles. This close-up shelling is to exert the power of direct cannon fire. When the first ten-kilogram* hit the north gate accurately with a roar, the high explosion instantly caused a huge tremor, and the city gate guardrail with the word Jiexiu written suddenly collapsed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The continuous sound of artillery was deafening, and the tall city gate arrow tower was completely destroyed by this shelling. On the city wall, the three hundred Jiexiu defenders were either bombarded into the sky or buried in rubble. The Pou Nu Army artillery team was divided into two bombardment waves for three-hour shelling. As Mr. Zhang said, artillery was the god of the battlefield. With heavy artillery in the siege, the Pou Nu Army no longer had to slap the soldiers of the Dead Soldiers to drive away the decisive chariots to blast. After a round of *shooting, the rolling smoke and dust generated by the explosion enveloped the Jiexiu North Gate. When the dust was blown away in the north, the once strong Jiexiu city wall was covered with thick cracks, and the collapsed city gate formed a slope that was very conducive to the Pou Nu Army's charge and siege.

According to the past, the Slave Army could launch a general attack, but the artillery commander Yang Meimei suggested to the commander Tian Peng that he would try the effect of the three rounds of artillery attacks on the solid city walls. Originally, Yang Meimei had a higher position than Tian Peng, and Yang Meimei was practicing for the future attack on Jiannu in Liaodong. Tian Peng accepted Yang Meimei's suggestion. However, Tian Peng personally ran to Yang Meimei's position and discussed with him the ground tactics between artillery attacks. After this shelling, the staff of the Slave Army followed the army to judge that the entire north gate had been blocked, and a ten-pound shot hit the city gate to smash the thick wooden door and reveal the piles of debris. The North Gate suspension bridge had been completely blown up in the shelling just now. Two thick iron chains were hanging from the crooked wooden frame, and the sturdy wooden suspension bridge was broken into several sections.

The Pou Nu Army used an integrated ammunition-loading artillery team to reset the cannon after cleaning the residue of the cannon chamber and prepare to launch another shelling. Tian Peng transferred three thousand veterans from the rear, and these veterans were filled with guns. They wanted to attack Jiexiu North City as soon as possible. The second round of shooting, Yang's artillery team was extremely leisurely. After five heavy artillery bombardment, the shaking city wall completely collapsed. The Pou Nu Army, who was waiting to attack on the artillery position, rushed forward with a shout. Seeing this, the defenders blew the horn of the enemy's attack. The officials who were hiding from the city walls ran to the city heading to fight under the officers. Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army attacked were shouting and shouting and evading the sky. They ran less than fifty feet away.

At this time, the five-jin artillery of the Pou Nu Army began to show its power, and the accurate and continuous artillery bombardment bombarded the seven hundred defenders who had just attacked the city wall. Jiexiu defenders already knew that the North City was the main attack direction of the Pou Nu Army, so they concentrated their main forces here. The Pou Nu Army lured out the defenders hiding in the dark. As fifty five-jin artillery continued to cover the artillery, these defenders who had just entered the city suffered a devastating blow. One by one, the human bodies that were blown down from a high place to the wall, and the survivors were heart-wrenchingly painful, with blood stains soaked in the rubble. Then the Pou Nu Army artillery team loaded ammunition again, and the engineers who had been waiting for a long time took this opportunity to set up the flybridge on the trenches to open the path for the next siege army.

In order to defeat the Slave Army, the Ming army and the young and strong people guarding Jiexiu rushed to the broken city again, and they were bombarded by the Slave Army artillery again. This time the artillery was still the first to open fire. The Slave Army attacked the infantry again advanced fifty feet. Seeing that the Slave Army had no reaction, the Slave Army rushed to the front of the Flying Bridge. Thinking that the Slave Army was a real attack this time, the Slave Army climbed up the city again. After fifty five-pound cannons covered the shelling, the Slave Army stood in front of the Flying Bridge and rushed to the destroyed city gate with all their might. This time, the Slave Army did not stop at all, and their hands and feet climbed up the north gate dyed with blood. When the Slave Army reacted, the Slave Army of the Slave Army in the city used their hand guns to open the general attack of the slaughter battle. The Slave Army of the Slave Army first controlled the ramps on the city wall, suppressed the defenders' counterattack with continuous hand guns, and opened the gap in the offensive and defensive battle.

The more than a thousand musket soldiers followed up increased the firepower of the battle gap. The artillery staff and flag-language players who followed up the city to pass the latest artillery location to the rear in flags. The artillery team leader Yang Meimei, the artillery team commander of the front line, once again innovated the siege artillery tactics, and used artillery to destroy the city wall to destroy the city wall with high precision. Yang Meimei's new siege firepower cover tactics was amazing when she saw the main general Tian Peng hit the high-high high. Yang Meimei's innovative tactics originated from the latest combat concept of Zhang Dashang. After the end of the Wututui Grassland War, Zhang Dashang summarized that the new tactics of the Pound Army lies in non-contact combat, which is that the Pound Army tried to use long-range firepower to attack the enemy and less close-fits-up combat.

As more and more Possess troops rushed to the north gate to expand the battle gap, it was reasonable to see Jiexiu City fall. Engineers built a simple passage at the city gate that was bombed by artillery to facilitate the transport of artillery and crossbows to the city wall. The Possess troops rushed into the city into several torrents and rushed towards their respective targets to capture. The Timberwolves War Barracks of Tian Peng Mountain Army, the types of equipment and weapons are comparable to the personal guard camp. The Possess Army first captured Jiexiu County Government, which mainly seized the population documents stored in the county government, and provided a household registration document to guide the way for the arrest of the families of the Shanxi merchants of the eight Shanxi families.
