Borrow the day to change the day

Early the next morning, when it was still daylight, the new army lined up in Haizhou City, ready to attack.

Guan Ning soldiers looked at this friendly army with complicated expressions. Although they knew that the new army would return, they were somewhat disappointed that they lost a group of companions at the gate of Jianlu's siege.

At the same time, they were worried about the new army. After all, they had never seen the combat effectiveness of the new army with their own eyes, and there were so many prisoners outside the city, it was a question of whether the breakout would be successful.

Zhong Jinwei probably also knew what was on their minds. He told Zu Dashou and He Kegang who came to see them off: "I will not show my shame in the art of defending the city. You are better than me. I only have one suggestion, let my four nephews Go out for a walk, and there is no need to hide their identities."

Zu Dashou and He Kegang naturally knew the meaning of Zhong Jinwei's words, and they both clasped their fists and replied immediately: "The general understands, please rest assured, Lord Hou, before the supplies are exhausted, Jianlu will never want to capture Haizhou."

Zhong Jinwei nodded, and he didn't ask to say that the supplies were exhausted, and Jianlu could not be allowed to succeed.

Immediately, he looked at the soldiers of the Guan Ning army on the top of the city who were paying attention to this side, and said loudly: "Although there are many Jian captives outside the city, I, the Marquis of Zhongxing, treat them like chickens and dogs. Come and leave when you want. Jianlu can do nothing to me! All officers and men, wait, I, Marquis Zhongxing, will kill another carbine someday."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense. No matter what, the new army still had to hurry up.

The gate of Haizhou city was opened, and the chariot battalion covered the fusiliers and began to leave the city in accordance with the combat formation. As for the mounts, they all stayed in Haizhou city.

The movement of the new army was immediately reported to Huang Taiji by the Jianlu scouts.He knew that the Ming army would definitely move, but he didn't expect to want to escape so soon.Because he has already understood the whole battle, and knows that this Ming army firearms unit has not rested for two days and two nights before.

The ordnance such as the catapults and carts of Niutougang had already been arranged on this road, but due to the relationship between time and manpower, the first trench was only half dug.The ordnance dispatched from Liaoyang or even Shengjing has not yet arrived.

Now he can't take care of it anymore, Huang Taiji ordered the Jianlu in this direction to stand by, and mobilized troops from other directions to prepare to surround the new army.

Zhong Jinwei had seen Jianlu's arrangement clearly through a telescope, and he had already prepared for Jianlu's arrangement.

I saw the car battalion advancing slowly and stopping outside the maximum attack range of the catapult.The vehicle carrying four Hongyi cannons was in front, and immediately began to prepare to fire the cannons.

Of course, the rest of the Hongyi cannons are reserved for Haizhou City, four are enough.

After some measurements, Gondesa ordered his proud students to fire.

Jianlu saw this situation, but there was nothing he could do. Who made their catapults not as far as the Ming army's Hongyi cannons!

Huang Taiji was watching the formation from a distance, and when he saw the movement of the Ming army, he knew something was going to go wrong.Before ordering the catapults to retreat, they heard a few loud bangs, and one of the catapults collapsed, killing many Jianlu along with it.

Seeing this situation, the Guan Ning army on the top of the city cheered together to cheer for the friendly army.

"Khan, what should we do? Should I lead someone to charge once?" Duoduo gritted his teeth in hatred when he saw that his territory was occupied by the Ming army, and now seeing the Ming army being so arrogant, he asked Huang Taiji for a fight.

With a livid face, Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "The troops retreat, let this Ming army break away from the cover of Haizhou City."

Jianlu's army received the order, and the troops in the front direction of the new army began to retreat.The entire Jianlu army was dented inward like a cake that had been bitten by someone.

Under the command of generals at all levels, the new army still maintained the camp just now, and slowly advanced in coordination.It's like walking alone among a group of enemies, seeing them as nothing.

It didn't take long for the new army to reach the trench dug by Jianlu.The soldiers of the new army, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately used the engineer shovel they carried with them to dig the soil and fill the pit.

Huang Taiji looked at it from a distance, and his heart moved, and he immediately ordered Jianlu to send thousands of people to the rear to destroy the road and slow down the marching speed of the Ming army.

Naturally, the new army would not ignore the unevenness and muddy roads. They had already prepared some planks and laid them under the wheels.

Therefore, the trench dug by Jianlu did not take long, and the new army slowly advanced again.

The Guan Ning army on the top of the city watched the new army go away. At this time, they could only wish the friendly army in their hearts.

After about an hour, Haizhou City was left far behind and was no longer seen.

Jianlu couldn't bear it anymore, and charged the new army from all directions.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Jianlu's movement, smiled contemptuously, and watched Jianlu rush up without giving orders.

The new army has long had such training subjects, and generals at all levels have prepared step by step.Jianlu opened fire when he reached the range of the artillery, and those who ran out of the range of the artillery fired flintlocks, easily defeating Jianlu's attack, and then started to advance on their own.

Huang Taiji led the other slave chiefs to see this scene from a distance, and there was nothing he could do.They didn't expect that the Ming army had so many artillery pieces, and there were so many musketeers in the car camp.With various vehicles as cover, it is like a mobile fortress, and like a hedgehog, it is impossible to start.

This situation reminded Huang Taiji, who had read a lot of Han Chinese books, of a similar battle before.

Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, once led an army of [-] infantry. Relying on the cover of chariot formations and relying on sharp bows and crossbows, he just walked freely for several days and nights from the siege of tens of thousands of Huns. There are many people and horses, but they can't do anything to this Han army.

Huang Taiji remembered that the Han army in history was eventually defeated by the Huns because they ran out of bows and arrows because they had no reinforcements.A thought immediately arose in his mind, that is, to exhaust the ammunition of the Ming army, and then defeat the Ming army.

But as soon as this thought arose, he secretly sighed.In history, the Han army persisted for a few days, and the Ming army only needed one day to escape to Niuzhuang Station. How could it be possible to exhaust the ammunition of the Ming army in such a short period of time!

In fact, he thought about the same as Huang Taiji. Zhong Jinwei also knew about Li Ling's deeds in history, and he felt sorry for Li Ling after seeing it.Therefore, how could Zhong Jinwei repeat the same mistakes and fall into the siege of the Jianlu army without bringing enough ammunition.

Under the escort of Jianlu, the new army marched forward step by step.And Jianlu had no choice but to dig a hole in the ground and disgust the new army.

Even this digging is very difficult, because apart from the surface layer which is easy to dig due to the melting of snow water, the deeper soil layer is as hard as iron lumps, and it cannot be dug deep in a short time.

None of the slave chiefs looked good, they watched the Ming army advance like this.

Suddenly, Duoduo reported to Huang Taiji: "Khan, my brother, go out and use the old method to deal with this Ming army?"

Huang Taiji was taken aback for a moment, then he understood Duoduo's meaning, he shook his head first, then nodded and said: "Okay, let's treat it like a dead horse like a living horse."
