"What? Liaoyang's Tartars broke through? That's kind of interesting, to send you to death? Liu Hongjian asked and answered himself while putting on his armor, and his tone was not very anxious.

In addition to the more than 20,000 Tartars of Jierharang who retreated from Haizhou City, there were thousands of Han troops who defended the general Hong Chengchou.

And Feng Dunhou's allied army was no more than 30,000 people, and it was impossible to trap the defenders in the city.

Jierharang's breakthrough was not unexpected by Liu Hongji, but with these 30,000 Tartars, he wanted to turn the tide and relieve the siege of Shengjing, isn't it a fool's dream?

Maybe it was Dolgon's instructions, or maybe it was his own opinion, but Zilharang did it, so Liu Hong gradually muttered.

"Lin He, quickly send 10,000 musketeers to defend Xicheng, prepare to meet the enemy with a ring array, and Wu Binghao will lead 15,000 cavalry to support it!

Qu Jianhong, the general of the Shenji Battalion, took over the defense of Beicheng!

Chang Yu, you led the thousands of households in the Long Live Mountain to pass, and AKM divided half of the 100 households with you! When the judgment continued to be chaotic, Liu Hong gradually let go of his doubts, and then began to transfer troops to punish the generals.

"Obedience!" Several people had to turn around and prepare to go out of the big tent immediately.

"Wait!" Liu Hong gradually hesitated.

Chang Yu and Lin He didn't know what else Liu Hongjian was doing, so they immediately stopped.

"No grenades unless absolutely necessary!" Liu Hong said solemnly.

From the Beijing Ordnance Institute to Shanhaiguan, and then from Shanhaiguan all the way north to Jinzhou, and then hundreds of miles to the east, across the Liao River, and north to Shengjing, the supply line of the Ming army was too long.

During this period, it is necessary to guard against the infestation of small groups of tartars, and the food problem can be partially solved on the spot, but this bullet and grenade are just needed.

Especially grenades, after a big battle, the most expensive thing is grenades.

After besieging Shenyang for nine days, the grenade reserves in the Ming army were only enough to support a battle.

According to the news given by the Sentinel Cavalry, the batch of ammunition supplies closest to Shengjing has just arrived in Guangning, and even if it is delivered at the fastest speed, it may take two days to reach Shengjing.

Liu Honggradually had to limit the consumption of grenades, which were too important to the Ming army, even better than the Shenji battalion.

Shenyang's Tartars are still unknown, and they must not show their last hole cards unless they have to.

The most important point is that the behavior of this group of Tartars in Liaoyang is too suspicious, is Zilharang here to send him to death?

Or is it to fight Dolgon in the city, do they think that this will defeat the Ming Dynasty?

That's not right! Shenyang City did not hear half a minute of movement at all.

Be careful!

Liu Hongjian is no longer the stunned young man who led more than 2,000 bear children to run around the mountains a year ago, and now he is the commander of more than 70,000 elite troops of the Ming army.

He must be responsible for the lives of these soldiers, not to mention that there is also Uncle Chongzhen, the most wanted criminal in the army.

"Herald, go and inform General Feng that only a small number of soldiers will be left in Liaoyang, and a large army will be sent to help!" Liu Hong gradually vaguely felt that the war was coming, and he gave another order out of the big tent.

"Liu Qing, is the war urgent?" Chongzhen rarely saw Liu Hongjian so dignified, and came to inquire with a large number of guards.

"There are not enough grenades, you may have to fight for knives!" Liu Hongjian only said one sentence, but Chongzhen understood it all of a sudden.

The reason why the Ming army was able to besiege Shengjing all the way was the biggest reliance on grenades, if there was no such big weapon, only with musketeers, with the current reloading speed of the rifle, it was not enough to completely suppress the charge of the Eight Banners.

"Looking at this Tartar, it is estimated that he wants to finish his work in one battle, but he is not sure." Liu Hong gradually expressed the doubts in his heart.

Jianyu must have relied on something, and after fighting for several months, he didn't believe that Dolgon didn't know the killer weapon of the Ming army, and he didn't believe that Dolgon and Zilharang would make such a stupid move.

"Fight the knife, fight the knife, I believe in the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, go and go, I will wait for the pressure array!" Chongzhen didn't say much, turned around and wanted to go back to the account to change his armor.

"Your Majesty, you should stay in the rear army, once the melee starts, the ministers can't take care of it." couldn't see through Jianyu's routine, Liu Hongjian felt a little irritable in his heart.

"Don't worry, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although I can't be stubborn, I won't hide behind people, with me, the soldiers will be at ease." Chongzhen only turned around and whispered, and then resolutely entered the big tent.

Since the payment of all the arrears, coupled with the rigorous training for more than half a year, and the generous reward for military merits, the combat strength of the border army is no less than that of Jianyu.

It's just that all along, Liu Hongjian has never let these soldiers directly follow Jianyu.

Now, the time has come to test them.

Zilharang did not let the Ming army wait too long, and as soon as the formation of more than 20,000 Ming troops outside Shenyang was set, 30,000 Tartar cavalry appeared in the Ming army's field of vision.

"Your Royal Highness, Prince Li, such a distance is just the right time to launch a charge, what are you waiting for?" A young Tartar general rode up to Zilharan.

This man is about thirty years old, with a shiny head under an iron helmet and a beard like a steel needle, which makes him look extremely wild and brave.

"Aobai, it's not the appointed time yet, don't be impatient!" Zilharang frowned.

I don't know if it's the Mandate of Heaven or what, but most of the deputies sent to him by the regent Dorgon in the past year have been manic.

This is true of last year's Dordor or the beginning of the year Azig, or today's Aobai.

They may be brave or dare to fight hard, but now the Ming army's firearms have suddenly become so sharp, especially the firearms that will explode all over the ground, they can no longer win by relying on courage alone.

Zilharang knew that if there were no reinforcements, their 30,000 soldiers would not be the opponent of the Ming army's An Guogong at all, and they would definitely be sent to death if they rushed over so straight.

But last night, Dolgon suddenly sent a secret order to break through the siege and rush to the aid of Shengjing, and repeatedly ordered that the attack must be launched only at the end of the day.

With a conscience, Jierharang didn't want to come at all, Liaoyang was much safer than Shengjing, and the thief Feng Dunhou only brought 30,000 peasant soldiers, although this group of peasants was also brave, but it was impossible to break through Liaoyang.

But his uncle Nurhachi treated him well, he couldn't watch Sheng Jing die in danger, and although the letter didn't mention why he had to attack at the right time, he didn't believe that Dorgon would kill people with a knife at this time.

The Qing Dynasty only had Liaoyang and Shengjing left, and Dolgon would not be so short-sighted.

He must have something to rely on!

Boom - boom - boom -

Boom - boom - boom -

Under the command of Kong Er, the six cannons took the lead in firing the cannons, and due to Liu Hongji's instructions, this time they directly fired armor-piercing shells.

The steel shells with conical warheads were so powerful that the Zilharang army was plowed out of six blood grooves in an instant.

Coincidentally, one happened to pass by Aobai's side, and the three or two guards behind him were directly strung into a blood gourd, and Aobai was suddenly anxious.

"Prince Li, you gave the order! Shall I let my warriors die here? Ao Bai's heart was on fire, he took off his helmet and scratched the mouse braid behind his head, and said eagerly.

Zilharan looked at the sun, and there was still half an hour before the appointed time.

But if you really keep waiting here, not to mention the thief general Feng Dunhou behind him, even the artillery in front of you can destroy the morale of the army.

Seeing that Aobai's face was getting worse and worse, and there were already signs of rage, Zilharang finally made up his mind.

"Aobai, this king ordered you to lead 8,000 yellow flags to attack the right wing of the Ming army!

Hong Chengchou, you led the Han army of 7,000 to attack the left flank!

The rest of the people followed the king to break the Chinese army and charge! ”
