The words of Emperor Taiji made the hearts of the few people who were shouting about the siege just now unhappy, and Mang Gurtai immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

"Father Khan, I think the eighth brother's words are wrong, now my 60,000 troops are gathered under the city of Jinzhou, it is only a matter of time to take Jinzhou, as for Dalinghe Fort has its own 20,000 troops led by the seventh brother there, it may be powerful to take Dalinghe Fort, but it is more than enough to block the road for the Ming army to rush to reinforcements, why wait until Dalinghe Fort is taken before attacking the city?"

Du Du also came out to object: "Great Khan, the slave also thinks that the words of the eighth elder brother are a little inappropriate. Even the cowardly Han people know the word quick battle, is it possible that our Jurchen warriors are not even as good as the Han people? ”

Seeing that Mang Gurtai and Du Du both stood up against it, the surrounding generals also spoke out against it. You must know that the Jurchens do not have any humble and submissive habits, and in their tradition they only respect those warriors who can fight and kill, and people like Huang Taiji who have even had their wives snatched away are naturally not qualified to be respected, even if he is the son of the Great Khan.

Looking at the people who opposed him, Huang Taiji didn't speak, but the haze that was inadvertently revealed in his eyes was deeper, he didn't speak but bowed deeply towards Nurhachi, and a gust of wind blew, making his somewhat thin figure even thinner.

Nurhachi didn't speak, looked at his son who was standing in front of him, and then looked at his son and generals around him who were unabashedly dissatisfied, and there was a look of hesitation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Nurhachi hesitated a little. He is sixty-six this year, like an old lion, this old lion is looking for his heir, but he looks at it and finds that among his large group of sons, he is either greedy or cowardly or too young, and the only son he likes has even been robbed of his wife a few days ago, so that now he has become the laughing stock of everyone.

In Nurhachi's view, this was a very dangerous signal, and he knew very well that if he did not set up an heir before he died, after his death, the Dajin Kingdom that he had created would fall apart due to civil strife.

Looking at the people who were all opposed, Nurhachi gradually narrowed his eyes, and nodded quietly: "Mang Gurtai, Du Du, since you two think that you should attack, then fight, you two each lead the headquarters to attack the north and south gates respectively, Yue Tuo, you lead the yellow flag to make a feint attack on the east and west gates, thinking that it is a response!" ”

"Huh!"

The generals who were named shook their sleeves and knelt down on one knee and soon led their troops away, and with a desolate horn sounded, groups of auxiliaries began to carry long ladders towards the city wall, and behind these auxiliaries were countless heavily armored infantry soldiers and guards, who held all kinds of weapons and pushed shield carts towards the city wall.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The artillery on the city wall fired, when Jinzhou City was built, the Ming Dynasty had purchased more than 20 Hongyi cannons from the Portuguese and Spaniards entrenched in Macao, Jinzhou as an important town in Liaodong also installed eleven cannons, the heaviest artillery even weighed more than 5,000 catties, which could hold two catties of gunpowder and had a range of up to three miles.

Most of these guns are made of copper or iron, which is characterized by the length of the barrel and the thickness of the pipe wall, which gradually thickens from the muzzle to the tail of the gun, which conforms to the principle of high to low bore pressure when gunpowder is burned. There are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder; It is equipped with a front sight and a light gate, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, and the accuracy is still good.

"Boom ......"

A five-pound iron pellet hit a shield car with three layers of cowhide and thick logs, under the huge impact of this seemingly solid and weighing hundreds of pounds of shield car was split in an instant, hiding behind the shield car infantry and guards suffered heavy casualties, some of their passive energy has not completely subsided projectile collision, the whole person was broken into pieces, and some were stabbed in the face and torso by the flying sawdust, one by one wailing and rolling on the ground, the heavy projectile fell heavily to the ground, After rolling for more than ten meters, he overwhelmed several Jurchens before stopping.

"Rush up and kill those lowly Nikans!"

"The Great Khan has an order, take Jinzhou City for three days without sealing the knife!"

In the face of the arrows and projectiles shot down from the city wall, countless Jurchen officers kept shuttling back and forth in the offensive formation to cheer up the siege Tartars, and behind these officers there was a row of white-armored soldiers with cold faces, wearing heavy armor, they stared ahead, and anyone who was cowardly or retreating would be mercilessly killed by them.

In the face of the attacking Jurchens, the Ming army at the head of Jinzhou City was not afraid, they used base stones, rolling logs, artillery and bows and arrows under the leadership of officers at all levels to fight back tenaciously, and the auxiliary soldiers and coats who rushed to the front suffered heavy losses under the fierce counterattack of the Ming army, even the guards and infantry who followed behind were very uncomfortable.

Looking at the killing sound of Jinzhou City in the distance, Nurhachi's face did not show an anxious or solemn expression, such a war scene is too common for this soldier who has been in the career of a horse all his life, and the focus of his concern at this moment has already reached another aspect.

"Quick...... Fast...... Smash these crumbs! ”

On the tower of the city gate of the north gate, Cao Dazhong, who grew up in the palace since he was a child, had seen such a scene, he looked at the dense Houjin soldiers under the city like waves rushing towards the city wall, and he had long been frightened to the point that his face turned pale, and his mouth was also shouting unconsciously. However, the Liaodong generals present did not laugh at him, in their opinion, it was already very good that this Gonggong Cao from Nanjing could still stand here at this time without wetting his pants.

"Report ...... Vice General Cao and General Bing sent someone to report, and the Tartars divided 10,000 troops to attack the east and west gates! ”

"Report ......, General Zu Dale sent someone to report that the red flag of the Tartars is attacking the south gate, and General Zu asked to mobilize a team of archers to come to the rescue!"

"Report ...... The young men in the city are ready to go up to the city wall at any time! ”

A herald came to report, and Sun Chengzong, who was standing at the gate of the city, held the hilt of the sword at his waist in his hand, and ordered without thinking: "Order the people of the east and west gates, they are just a feint attack of the Tartars, just let them pay attention." Then he assigned 500 archers to Zu Dale and told him that if the south gate lost his honor, he would immediately take off his head! ”

"My lord, the Tartars are climbing up!" The shouts of the soldiers rang out above the city.

"Quick...... Is the gold juice ready? Pour the gold juice down and burn those dog tartars! A general shouted to the soldiers at the head of the city to pour the boiling gold juice into the city, which was black and hot, and was the most vicious biological weapon of this era, mixed with human and animal feces, urine and countless other filthy things.

After these gold juices fall from the sky, they will seep into the human body along the armor, and if they are burned by these things, they will immediately burn out blisters, and countless germs will sneak into the body, and in the era when there are no antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, the mortality rate of such injuries is almost 100%.

"Ah......h

A big man with a steel knife in his mouth, wearing two layers of heavy armor, raised his head and climbed up the ladder, and looked at the battlement that was close at hand, and a hideous smile appeared in his eyes.

He only needs to climb two more steps, and then he can climb over the battlement, and he can kill the cowardly Ming army at the head of the city like slaughtering pigs and dogs, as long as he holds out for half an hour...... No, as long as he holds on for one or two hundred breaths, his companions can continue to come up to support him, and then the first one to climb the city wall will be his.

The thought of the benefits he was about to reap made the infantry soldier smile even more, and his face full of flesh was full of hideous color. It's just that when he stepped up the last step and was about to rush up the battlement, a black steaming juice fell from the sky and splashed right on his face, although the horizontal flesh on his face was very thick, but in the face of the boiling gold juice he couldn't help but let out a terrible scream, covering his eyes with both hands, and the whole person fell heavily from the high city to the ground.

Not long after the infantry soldier fell from the city, another infantry soldier climbed up the ladder......

"Quick...... Gold juice, pour it down! ”

A soldier commander with two soldiers is adding firewood to the big iron pot on the side, a large pot full of gold juice is boiling, and two soldiers are holding a long iron spoon while scooping up the gold juice and splashing it under the city, a soldier spilled a spoonful of gold juice, and a golden soldier who just climbed up from below sprinkled a peach blossom on his face, haha laughed, he laughed and shouted excitedly: "Head ...... Another tartar has been poured with gold juice from me, and they ...... Ah......h

Before the soldier could finish his words, an arrow shot from below hit him in the neck, and his expression suddenly stiffened when he was laughing, and there was a "ho-ho" sound in his throat like an old cow panting, and then he fell to the ground with a bang, and the iron spoon in his hand also fell to the ground with a loud sound.

"Dog ......"

Another soldier next to him was shocked when he saw this, and immediately rushed over to help his companion who fell to the ground, but saw that this companion's eyes kept rolling white, his whole body twitched, and blood continued to flow out of the corners of his mouth.

Seeing the tragic condition of his companion, the soldier was so anxious that he burst into tears, and shouted, "Dog...... Don't worry, I'll take you to the doctor right away! After speaking, he was about to pick up his companion, but was stopped by the captain on the side.

"Ma Yingzhao, the dog is dead. If you dare to leave your post without permission, I'll cut you down immediately! ”

The soldier knelt down towards the commander with a puff and sobbed, "Head...... The dog is not dead yet, please be merciful and save him, I am from the same village as him, if he dies, how can I explain to his father! ”

Wu Da strode up to him and stretched out his hand to punch him in the face, and shouted: "Don't you want to save your brother, but when have you ever seen someone who survived after being shot through the neck by an arrow, now you immediately return to your battle position, otherwise Lao Tzu will have to enforce military law!" ”

Looking at the murderous face of the Wu Commander, the soldier cried out loud, picked up a spear from behind the city wall and rushed to the battlements, just in time to see a Tartar in cotton armor just exposed half of his body from the battlement, he cried and howled and raised the spear to make a thrust, the sharp spear head effortlessly pierced the cotton armor of the Tartar, and the Tartar let out a terrible roar.

The soldiers tried hard to pull the spear out of the Tartar, but they didn't think that the spear was stuck in the Tartar's ribs, but they couldn't pull it out for a while, so they could only watch the Tartar fall from the city with the spear. Just as he was about to turn around, an arrow struck him in the eye, and a long arrow pierced the back of his head, and he fell to the ground without saying a word.

Seeing two brothers fall to the ground in a row, the captain gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hurry up...... Two people have taken their place in the past! ”

With the roar of the captain, two more soldiers picked up the iron spoon on the ground and continued to scoop up the gold juice and splash it down the city......

The battle is getting more and more intense, and human life has become the least valuable thing at this time, and people are constantly being injured and people are dying.

Nurhachi, who was riding on the horse, looked at the wounded soldiers and corpses that were constantly being carried down, his face gradually became gloomy, for him, there would be casualties in the war, which was not wrong, and he had already been prepared for the casualties to be paid for the attack on Jinzhou, but after half an hour, even if he was used to seeing life and death, he had to be shocked, the solidity of this Jinzhou was still beyond his imagination.

Nurha said to Goshha beside him with a calm face: "Tell Mang Gurtai and Dudu immediately that you must pay attention to the method of attacking the city, and you can't be too reckless!" ”

"Huh!"

The Jurchens stormed the city of Jinzhou for a day, and it was not until it was dark that they stopped stupidly.

When it got dark, the generals gathered in Nurhachi's big tent again, looking at Mang Gurtai and Dudu who were standing aside with their heads down, Nurhachi said with a calm face: "You two will report today's casualties. ”

Mang Gurtai said in a low voice: "Father Khan, the subordinates of the sons and daughters suffered a total of 1,327 casualties today, of which 625 were killed, and most of the rest were seriously injured. ”

Du Du also took a deep breath and said: "Qi Great Khan, the minions' Zhenglan Banner has a total of 1,387 casualties, of which 854 have died, and most of the rest are seriously injured. ”

Nurhachi sneered at the generals: "Look at the ...... Take a look at them all...... Just one Jinzhou city, I lost more than 2,000 people in one day, is this what you said can be won in one go? ”

Seeing that Nurhachi was angry, all the generals were silent, and the fierceness of Jinzhou City's resistance was really beyond everyone's imagination.
