I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 711 Naiman ran away
It has been three years since Yaowu Army established its army.

Although in the past three years, apart from annihilating An Bangyan, he has been staying in the Beijing camp without going to war.But as his special skill, his artillery skills have never fallen behind.Therefore, under Jiang Lin's order, the gunners of the Yaowu Army operated skillfully.

"Ten rounds are loaded and tested, the angle is seven points!"

"put!"

Continuous gunshots rang out from the Ming army's fortress, and the speeding shells accurately landed on the city wall of Chahanhot, making the city wall tremble.

First, ten rounds were tested to adjust the angles of the artillery.Immediately afterwards, the whole earth seemed to tremble, and seventy or eighty artillery pieces began to fire a salvo. A thundering roar sounded from the direction of the Ming army's position. Along with thick white smoke, artillery shells hit the walls of Chahanhot like raindrops.

The Mongolians defending in the city had never seen such a battle before. Some of them were hit by artillery shells before they could react, and were cut off at the waist. Blood flowed across them, which was extremely tragic.

But this was just the appetizer, and the Ming army's bombardment had just begun.

Just as everyone on the city wall was taking a breather, the second wave of shelling struck again, followed by the third wave, the fourth wave, and so on.

The continuous bombardment lasted for half an hour before it stopped. At this time, the city wall of Chahanhot was already like a hell on earth, and the situation was extremely miserable.

Hong Lengtaiji, who was in charge of the defense of the city wall, was also blinded by the Ming army's artillery fire.

He had seen the Ming army's artillery bombardment before, but they were all Tiger Cannons and Folan Cannons, which were not comparable to Krupp Cannons.Therefore, he was bombarded by the Ming army today, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

But now that he saw that the Ming army's artillery attack had stopped, he could only ask people to quickly treat the wounded, and then hurried down the city wall to the Golden Summit White Temple to ask for Lin Danhan.

"Great Khan, the Ming army's artillery is so powerful. With just a few rounds of shelling, the troops and horses on the city wall suffered heavy losses. Continuing like this is not a long-term solution."

Lin Danhan didn't take it seriously at this time. He glanced at Naiman and then said slowly:
"The only powerful thing in the Ming army was firearms. They relied on this to capture Saarhu. Today, if we use this artillery to attack the city, our defense will naturally suffer."

When Hong Leng heard this, he was slightly startled.Since the Ming army's artillery was so powerful, why didn't he hear any panic from Lin Danhan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Danhan and said slowly:

"But Khan, the Ming army's artillery is so fierce now. If it continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before the city of Chahanhot is destroyed. So what should we do?"

As soon as Hong Leng finished speaking, he heard another roar outside the temple.Hong Leng's expression changed when he saw this, and the Ming army's shelling began again.His expression changed when he saw this, and he quickly knelt down and said:
"Khan, the Ming army has started shelling again. What should we do now?"

After Lin Danhan heard the Ming army's artillery fire, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, and then he waved to Hong Leng leisurely and said:
"Get up, I have my own solution?"

When Hong Lengtaiji heard this, he immediately became curious. Could it be that Lin Danhan had called for reinforcements and was preparing to cooperate inside and outside, or had some strange tricks.

"Please give me some instructions, Khan!"

"Don't worry, I have already thought about it with Naiman. What the Ming army is strong in is nothing more than firearms. Therefore, our defense of the city is a dead end. And what we in Mongolia are strong in is the method of riding and shooting. At this time, it is necessary to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses. Therefore, Naiman Taiji decided to let the Ming army attack for a few days to let them relax their vigilance, and then send cavalry out from the north gate to sneak attack the Ming army camp and destroy its artillery positions. Then we will see clearly The army will collapse without an attack."

Hong Lengtaiji thought that Lin Dan Khan had some clever plan. It turned out that he wanted the cavalry to sneak attack the Ming army's position.But this method has been used before, so he said suspiciously:

"Khan, when the Ming army built a camp before, we also sent cavalry to attack, but they were intercepted and killed by the Ming army. Very few came back. No one dared to go out of the city to fight. How could we send troops out of the city."

As soon as Hong Lengtaiji said this, Lin Danhan had not responded yet. Naimantaiji was the first to react and said directly:

"Don't worry, Honglingtaiji. Before, it was only one or two hundred-man troops, so naturally it couldn't defeat the Ming army. This time, our Etuo tribe and Orun tribe's cavalry are the main ones, with nearly 1 troops. I don't believe that the raid will not be successful. And I have already promised Khan that if it fails, I am willing to come forward and see you, so you can rest assured."

"Okay! Hong Leng, you heard it too. Naimandu has promised this. The Etuo tribe and the Orun tribe have strong soldiers and horses, and they will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army and relieve the siege of Chahanhot."

Hong Lengtaiji looked at Naiman in disbelief. He never thought that Naiman had come up with this strategy.

It was he who asked Lin Danhan to come back to oppose the Ming army, and it was Naiman who came up with such a clumsy plan today.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry, but in the end he breathed a sigh of relief and held it back, and just said a faint word to Lin Danhan. ,

"Khan, the matter has come to this. The best way is to negotiate with the Ming army instead of defending the city or sending troops to attack. Half a month ago, Mang Gusi and others struggled with [-] cavalry to fight the Ming army in the field. They were all exposed by Ming. The army was severely defeated. Now how to sneak attack the Ming army with [-] cavalry? This is a mantis trying to use its arms as a chariot and seeking death."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Naiman coldly, then cupped his hands to Lin Danhan and left without looking back.When Naiman saw him saying this, he was not angry, but looked at him with amusement.

Honglingtaiji left the Jinding White Temple. At this time, the Ming army's artillery was still continuing. Listening to the rumbling sound of the artillery, Honglingtaiji seemed to have heard the sound of the city being broken.

He turned around helplessly and looked at the golden-domed white temple behind him, shaking his head secretly. It seemed that he was doomed this time.

Hong Leng's opposition had no effect, and the Ming army's attack was carried out in an orderly manner, insisting on bombing the city wall with artillery every day. After two days of attack, the entire southern city wall of Chahanhot had been riddled with holes. It's shaky.

At this time, Lin Danhan could no longer bear it, so that night Naiman led his cavalry out of the north gate and out of the city, preparing to attack the Ming army camp at night.

Although Hong Lengtaiji was not very satisfied with him, for Chahar's grand plan, he still secretly hoped that Naiman could succeed in one fell swoop and relieve the siege of Chahanhot.

So regardless of the danger, he climbed up the city wall to observe the movements of the Ming army to see if support could be provided at the appropriate time.

But he waited on the city wall for a whole night, but he didn't hear any news from Naiman, nor did he see any changes in the Ming army camp opposite.

It wasn't until the next day that news came. It turned out that Naiman and his troops did not attack the Ming army camp at all, but ran away.
