Sun Chuanting's move was indeed a bit unexpected. The arrows and female walls in the south of Weiyuan City seemed to be about to be swept away. If he ordered people to bombard them for a long time, it would probably be almost done. If he ordered people to rush up, he would still be able to take them down. He would actually make people take risks in a dark night!

To be honest, the defenders in Weiyuan City never expected them, and the defenders in Shanhaiguan never expected them.

It was precisely because they didn't expect that Weiyuan City was easily taken down.

After Weiyuan City is taken down, it is easier to take down Shanhaiguan, because the red cannons in Weiyuan City can not only blast outside the Guancheng of Shanhaiguan, but also blast on the walls of Guancheng.

The red-clothed cannon in Weiyuan City is the killer of Shanhaiguan to resist the army of the Crazy King, and it is also a death talisman that takes their own life.

The next morning, Sun Chuanting ordered people to turn all the red-clothed cannons in Weiyuan City into the gun mouth, aimed at the walls of Shanhaiguan City, and blasted violently.

Immediately afterwards, he mobilized all cannons and arranged them on the front of Guancheng, launching more violent bombardments.

In fact, he overestimated the strength and courage of the Shanhaiguan defenders.

He thought it would take some trouble to capture Xiaguan City and other auxiliary cities, but after several rounds of bombardment, a white flag was erected from Shanhai Pass.

There is no way, the defenders in the city are already desperate. The Weiyuan City they rely on to resist the attack of the Crazy King army was taken down by others. The chief general Wu Sangui is not here, so who has the heart to resist? It is better to surrender early, at least you can eat less shells.

This shell is not a joke. Just rub it for a while and you will either die or be injured!

After Shanhaiguan was captured, there were no enemies near the capital. Sun Chuanting could finally lead the army to support Liaoyang. He directly ordered the Qin army to take over Shanhaiguan and Guanningjin defense line, and then commanded 150,000 Huguang troops and 100,000 Southwest troops to take a boat in batches and head straight to Liaoyang.

Liaoyang is about 800 miles away from Shanhaiguan. If you walk by land, it will take at least ten days, and the waterway will be different. At the speed of wheels and boats, you can reach it in one day or another. More than a thousand wheels and boats, which are not loaded with many equipment, are not a problem to pull 50,000 people at a time.

The next morning, Sun Chuanting led 50,000 Southwest Army to the outside of Liaoyang City.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Qizhe came to the dock in person and welcomed Sun Chuanting into the commander's tent.

After he asked Sun Chuanting to sit down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Boya, I heard that Wu Sangui is not in Shanhaiguan, how many guards are there left?"

Sun Chuanting replied quickly: "Wu Sangui seems to have been transferred to guard Shenyang. There are still about 50,000 troops left in Shanhaiguan, but they are all new recruits. The 50,000 elite infantrymen of the former Guanning Army were basically taken away by Wu Sangui."

Zhu Qizhi nodded slightly when he heard this, then frowned and said, "It seems that the defenders of Shenyang City may be more than 200,000. After all, the Mongolian and Yuan tribes did not fight with us last time. If Jiannu was in a military service, it would be no problem to recruit 150,000 troops from the Mongolian and Yuan tribes."

Sun Chuanting nodded and agreed, "This is very likely. Jiannu is quite proud of his life, but he can use it when he surrenders to the Eight Banners of the Mongolian and Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. They completely ignore the safety of others. This time they are all ready to fight to the death. The young and strong Mongolian Eight Banners will naturally be able to recruit as much as they can."

Zhu Qizhua couldn't help but sighed slightly, "This will be troublesome. They seem to have built all the giant cannons with a range of more than six miles. It is a bit difficult for us to use the advantage of artillery to bombard the city walls and sweep the arrow bush and the female walls above!"

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting said confidently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. Even if they have giant cannons with a range of more than six miles, it is not very useful, because they do not have high-precision telescopes and cannot see things in the distance. In addition, the accuracy of the red-clothed cannon is not enough. Unless we launch a dense formation charge, they will not be able to hit people at all."

Zhu Qizhu heard this and couldn't help but say surprise: "Really?"

Sun Chuanting nodded without hesitation and said, "This is of course true. How dare I deceive the emperor? I have tried it. If you don't use a telescope, just use your eyes to see things five or six miles away, people are smaller than ants, and the cannon is only the size of rice grains. Even if you use a low-level telescope that can see a mile away, it will be blurred five or six miles away, and you can't see clearly at all."

Yes, they can't shoot accurately if they have artillery with a range of five or six miles and no high-precision telescope!

This may be one of the reasons why the Ming army could not beat Jiannu even if it could cast red-clothed cannons. You should know that since the Jiajing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has gradually learned to cast Folang machine cannons and red-clothed cannons. To put it bluntly, the tiger squat cannons are just a reduced version of the red-clothed cannon.

However, in the battle, the Fran machine cannon and the red-clothed cannon did not play a decisive role, while the small tiger squat cannon made the Qi family army invincible and defeated them, becoming the world-famous elite.

Why is this?

The reason is actually very simple, it is a problem of distance of sight.

The human eyes can barely see things one mile away. When you reach three or four miles, five or six miles, you have to use a high-precision telescope, otherwise it will be blurred and it will be good to be able to see a little shadow clearly.

In this case, the Franco cannons and red-clothed cannons with a range of three or four miles or five or six miles are not as useful as the Tiger Squat cannons with a range of only one mile, because whether the Franco cannons and red-clothed cannons can be shot depends purely on luck, but the Tiger Squat cannons can barely aim and shoot.

To put it bluntly, without high-precision telescopes, the Folang machine cannon and the red-clothed cannon can also be used to bombard enemies with dense formations, because the square arrays discharged by tens of thousands of people are several miles wide. If such a large target is not hit, it is a ghost!

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhuo couldn't help but say excitedly: "What do you mean, even if they have giant cannons with a range of more than six miles, it's useless. As long as we don't radiate the dense formation, they won't hit it, right?"

Sun Chuanting nodded repeatedly and said, "The emperor is wise, it is true. When Weichen attacked Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui helped many red-clothed cannons to Weiyuan City on the top of the mountain, and used the height to make up for the shortcomings in range. At first, Weichen was also shocked, but Weichen's hundreds of cannons spread out and tried it and found that at such a long distance, they could not see clearly or shoot."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhi couldn't help but pat the handle of the handsome chair and said, "Okay, let's try it now."

After saying that, he ordered his personal guards to pass on the orders, the Imperial Guards, the Qi family army and the Imperial Guards to set up formations, preparing to test the accuracy of the enemy's artillery.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting quickly suggested: "Master, although the enemy's artillery is not accurate, it is possible that the blind mist may be shot several times. We still have to do this and take some protection."

Zhu Qizhu nodded repeatedly and immediately ordered the Imperial Guards, Qi's army and the Imperial Guards to do as they did.

Not long after, news came from outside the commander's tent that the Imperial Guard, Qi's army and the Imperial Guard were all ready.

Zhu Qizhe immediately took Sun Chuanting to the front of the formation and ordered without hesitation: "Shit the artillery soldiers to push a hundred artillery trucks and a hundred siege trucks to scatter forward and test the bombs for several rounds."

A wave of order flags, the artillery soldiers immediately pushed a hundred artillery cars and a hundred modified siege cars, and pushed them to a position about six miles away from the city wall.

"Boom boom boom", a roar of artillery sounded, and hundreds of shells quickly burst above the city wall.

The city wall suddenly became panic, and in a short while, the enemy began to fire and fight back.

"Boom boom boom", a sparse fire of cannons, more than ten watermelon-sized cannonballs roared and hit the ground, causing a piece of dust.

Zhu Qizhe couldn't help laughing when he saw the landing points of these shells.
