Chapter 362: Eight Banners Are Not Ten Thousand, But Ten Thousand Are Unbeatable?

Ningyuan City, one of the only two important military towns outside Shanhaiguan, the place where Ningyuan's victory and many subsequent battles took place, Jianyu and Daming have repeatedly competed, but in the end they still fell into the pocket of Jianyu.

Now Ning Yuancheng once again appeared in front of the Ming army.

This fortified city is destined to usher in another big battle, whether it is the Jianyu defenders on the city wall or the Ming army like hungry wolves under the city, they all know this.

The defender of Ningyuan City was the Feng'en general Lai Mubu of Jianyu, the thirteenth son of Nurhachi.

He stood at the head of Ningyuan City, looking at the Ming army that was getting closer and closer under the city.

There were originally 12,000 defenders in Ningyuan City, but since yesterday, the defenders in the city have been increasing dramatically.

The garrisons of various nearby cities and towns all converged on Ningyuan.

Lai Mubu was not afraid, and he didn't even criticize these low-level generals too harshly.

He needed these powers, for he had to use his bravery to prove what a foolish decision it had been for more than two months that Chandolgona had not allowed him to go on the expedition.

The Ming army is all local chickens and dogs, and Dolgon poured all his strength into the whole country to fight like that bird, which is really a shame for the people of the Sinkaku Mule family!

Come on, come on, come to Ning Yuan!

Lai Mubu is like a master in a game in later generations waiting for a rookie to deliver a courier, 12,000, 15,000, 18,000...... With the increase of defenders in Ningyuan City, Lai Mubu's vision became more and more eager.

Eight flags are not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible!

More than 19,000 Qing warriors were selected by Lai Mubu a few hours ago.

In addition to leaving more than 4,000 old and weak, Lai Mubu selected a full 15,000 Menggu and Mites Qing warriors.

Although he made a detailed report and falsely stated that he had set out to fight 80,000 this time, Lai Mubu was not panicked at all.

In the battles between the Eight Banners and the weak Ming army that he knew, there had been a record of 10,000 people defeating 60,000 Ming troops, and now he had 15,000 men.

Fifteen thousand iron horsemen will definitely make the Ming army frightened and prove that the time has come.

It is rumored that the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty is also in the Ming army, although this news is estimated to be unreliable, after all, the Son of Heaven has not been in charge of the expedition for two hundred years.

And two hundred years ago, he was beaten to pieces by the reckless men of Menggu.

He doesn't expect to win the jackpot (capture Emperor Ming alive), but he wants to use his record to slap Dolgon in the face.

"My lord, our Italian cannon oh no, the cannon is ready!" The second stunned man always listened to Liu Hong's gradual recitation of the Italian cannon, and from time to time he even made a mistake, he asked Liu Hongjian for advice, and his expression was solemn.

Even if you don't know any strategy and tactics, just look at the city wall, which is twice as high as Qiantun, and you know that this city is not easy to fight.

"Wait! There must be something strange in this city! Liu Hong gradually took out his binoculars and looked at the city again.

There were soldiers on the city wall on duty, but Liu Hong gradually looked at these soldiers as if they were a little old.

Could it be that the guy who guards the city wants a group of uncles to guard the city?

No, could it be that Jianyu ran away again?

It is not easy to manufacture cannons, and the shells have to be saved, and the barrel also has a lifespan, and Liu Hongjian does not intend to waste it.

"Is Jianlu so timid and afraid of war?" Chongzhen took the telescope from Liu Hongjian and looked at the city.

After speaking, he fiddled with the thing called the telescope in his hand, this thing is amazing, this place is almost eight or nine hundred steps away from the city in front of him, you can use this tube to shine, you can see the soldiers guarding the city!

But Chongzhen didn't have time to delve into this instrument at this time, and the news he had learned about Jianyu in the past was all described as fierce and brutal.

But now? The army had been attacking for a whole day, recovering so many cities, and had not met any decent resistance.

So here's the problem.

If Jianyu is really like this, why has the Ming army been defeated again and again for more than ten years?

Who the hell lied?

"Hehe, they don't fight!" Liu Hong gradually wore a coquettish battle armor, and his face was shy.

"That's why ......"

"I think they're scared of me!" Liu Hong gradually arched his arms, making himself domineering and leaking.

Chongzhen: ......

"My lord, the gate of Ningyuan City is open!" Someone shouted.

"Your Excellency has rushed out! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Kong Er was stunned and shouted at Liu Hongji, he was not panicked, but very excited, he was waiting for Liu Hongji's order.

I'm R, isn't this a slap in the face of the officer?

Just said that you birdmen are cowardly, you dare to kick your nose in the face?

Liu Hong gradually put away his arms, took out a few steps forward, took out a telescope and looked ahead.

I saw thousands of horses galloping outside Ningyuan City, and I don't know how many people came out of Ningyuan City.

"The second stunned, why are you still stunned, shoot at this official! Shenji Camp Lin He, the first to second battalions are ready! Liu Honggradually did not hesitate.

Jianyu's iron cavalry was only seven or eight hundred steps away from the Ming army, and there must be at least tens of thousands of people in the formation.

After all, Liu Hongjian had seen this formation, but Chongzhen had never seen it, he could almost see Chongzhen's clenched fists, and he didn't know if he was afraid or nervous......

"Don't panic, the emperor is here! Watch our muskets and cannons knock over these tartars! Liu Hong gradually showed an evil smile and encouraged Uncle Chongzhen, who was nervous behind him.

Boom - Boom Boom -

Boom Boom - two breaths of work, Jianyu's iron cavalry was only about 500 steps away from the Ming army, and six cannons took the lead in firing.

The six cannonballs were like chopping vegetables, penetrating through the camp of the Jianlu cavalry for dozens of paces, and six astonishing blood grooves suddenly appeared in the camp—they were paved with the flesh and blood of Jianlu and the intestines and internal organs of the war horse.

Boom Boom - Boom Boom, another six consecutive shots, and six long blood grooves, before the Jianyu could reach the front of the Ming army, they had already lost hundreds of people.

The faces of the rows of Tartars who rushed to the front were pale, and the person who was rushing just now suddenly had an extra hole in his stomach, even if his heart was big, he would feel worried in the face of such a bloody and ruthless scene.

But they couldn't stop, and behind them were countless friendly troops who were frantically patting their horses with their swords, and if they stopped at this time, they would only be trampled into pulp by countless war horses.

Besides, with the slow reloading speed of the artillery, the weak Ming didn't have time to fight the second round at all, and the surviving Tartar soldiers screamed and rejoiced that they had survived.

But the surviving Tartars did not rejoice for long.

Kong Er was stunned and finished a round of artillery, and immediately ordered the artillery to push the two wings of the cannon to retreat, and Lin He, the general of the Shenji Battalion, led the first and second battalions of musketeers with a total of 10,000 people.

Jianyu's straightforward attack was not at all out of Lin He's expectations, and after the previous battle, Lin He's control of the Shenji Battalion was already very proficient.

The command ordered the flag soldiers to send flags, and the four phalanxes quickly changed their formations to form an array similar to the letter V.

Bang bang bang –

When the Jianyu cavalry was still 300 steps away from the Ming army, the Wansui Mountain Qianhu Station on the side of the Shenji Battalion took the lead in firing.

At a distance of three hundred paces, the smoothbore guns of the Shenji Battalion were beyond the reach of the dust, and they all looked at the new rifled guns of the Thousand Households with envy.
