(0720) As for whether the white-clothed army has retreated, Amin does not think about it at all. He believes that Xu Xingxia will never retreat. If the white-clothed army had left, it would have been gone a long time ago, so why wait until now? Isn't the embarrassed retreat beautiful? After the white-clothed army entered Liaodong, it seemed that they only had the share of embarrassing others, and they themselves were dashing and fatal.

As time went by, Amin felt more and more that this Xu Xingxia was very difficult to deal with. After all, he is a figure who can overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and he must have considerable skills. His use of troops is also fast, accurate and ruthless, as if he is a sharp arrow of the Dajin Army, which can kill people at any time. He was hiding in Yangguan Fort this time, which was more like a conspiracy, a conspiracy waiting for the arrival of the Dajin army, rather than a desperate situation, or an evacuation of Liaodong.

Amin really couldn't judge whether it was good or bad for the Dajin army to flock to surround Yangguan Fort. If this is Xu Xingxia's trick, then the Dajin Army will be injured. Although Amin didn't know what kind of conspiracy Xu Xingxia was playing, on the surface, Xu Xingxia really didn't look like a conspiracy. However, in his heart, he already had a very strong premonition. Yangguan Fort is likely to become a sad place for the Dajin Army.

Fortunately, the city wall of Yangguan Fort has indeed been smashed a lot. One by one, the iron lumps smashed through, and it was indeed a achievement in destroying the city wall. It can be seen with the naked eye that the original Yangguan Fort city wall has changed beyond recognition. In many places, there were large gaps, and the infantry could pass directly. Perhaps, if the bombardment continues, the Dajin army can adopt the method of cavalry directly attacking the city. The sparse city wall shattered when it was hit.

In the rumbling cannon, Nurhachi's originally tense cheeks were slowly dissolving. As Amin observed, the heavy shelling did play a role. However, after a moment, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious. The reaction of the white army is indeed a little strange. What the hell are Xu Xingxia and his white-clothed army doing?

If it were the Dajin Army, it would definitely scatter and flee under such a fierce shelling. For the Dajin Army, what they are most afraid of is actually artillery. Once it is shelled, the ranks of the Dajin army will definitely be chaotic. No one else would have been able to withstand such a heavy shelling. However, the white-clothed army just withstood it, and there was no reaction at all.

Like Amin, Nurhachi did not believe that Xu Xingxia would take the initiative to retreat. He also believes that this Xu Xingxia is definitely not an easy character to deal with. He would never leave Liaodong easily. Since the white-clothed army did not take the initiative to withdraw, it must be in Yangguan Fort. In other words, at this time, they must be silently bearing the shelling. It's just that Nurhachi can't imagine how the white-clothed army managed to dodge such a fierce shelling.

The bombardment lasted for half an hour before it slowly stopped. In fact, it's not that they want to stop, but that all the shells are basically gone. Those Han artillery was too aggressive, fired too fast, and quickly ran out of ammunition in reserve. The shells are gone, and the cannons are naturally useless.

Amin frowned and ordered to continue to search for shells from other areas. As a result, the news that came back from all over the country made him feel extremely disappointed. Various localities have sent people to report that no shells have been found within their jurisdiction.

"Damn the evil Ming." Amin could only mumble a few words helplessly.

The artillery of the Ming army in Liaodong was available, but the artillery shells were seriously insufficient. Originally, according to the regulations, each gun should have been prepared with more than fifty shells. Large towns such as Liaoyang, Shenyang, Fushun, and Tieling should have more shells in reserve. But, in fact, for some well-known reasons, there are generally a dozen or twenty rounds.

After receiving Amin's report, the high-level leaders of the Dajin Kingdom once again hated the Ming army's [***]. There were less than twenty shells per gun, which was outrageous. In the world, there is no more outrageous force than the Ming army. So much military spending, all fed to the dogs. If they have enough ammunition, they can also continue to smash the walls of Yangguan Fort. Now, the soup is not soup, the water is not water, but I don't know how to choose.

"On the cavalry?" Tang Gu asked suspiciously.

"Impossible." Without hesitation, Babutai rejected his suggestion.

Although the walls of Yangguan Fort were smashed and damaged in many places, if you want to go to the cavalry, you still can't. Those remnants of the city wall can still block the advance of the cavalry. The biggest flaw of cavalry is its lack of ability to attack fortifications. Only a fool would use cavalry to storm the fortifications. The top of the Dajin Army has not been fooled to such a point.

Tang Gu also did not insist on his own advice. He just said it casually, not seriously. Everyone knows that in such a battle, if you go directly to the cavalry, the risk is indeed greater. In case the cavalry went up and could not break through the walls of the Yangguan Fort, and were completely exposed to the muskets of the white-clothed army, it would be tragic. The Dajin army could no longer afford to suffer too heavy losses.

Since the cavalry could not go up, the only way to do this was to send the infantry up to test the temptation. In any case, after the heavy shelling, the Dajin Army will definitely send people up to test the movements of the white-clothed army. If you're lucky, maybe the white-clothed soldiers in Yangguan Fort have all been killed by the shelling. Although, this result sounds a bit ridiculous. However, as long as the white-clothed army suffers a certain amount of damage and its combat effectiveness is weakened, the opportunity for the Dajin army will come.

Speaking of which, the Dajin Army is indeed depressed. The troops they brought this time were basically cavalry, with strong mobility and quite good riding and archery capabilities. However, because of the relationship between Yangguan Fort, the cavalry had to be turned into infantry to use. Cavalry became infantry, and mounted archers became infantry archers. This is simply a step backwards in history.

In fact, the most rational way for the Dajin Army is to completely ignore Xu Xingxia, ignore the white-clothed army, and let them toss by themselves. With the current strength of the white-clothed army, it is impossible to inflict fatal damage on the Dajin army in a field battle. Therefore, the white-clothed army could only cower in the Yangguan Fort and could not come out. However, the damage caused by the white-clothed army to the Dajin Army before made it difficult for the Dajin Army to pull it down. They must take revenge and be ashamed.

The Dajin Army was wiped out of eight Niulu, and Nurhachi's own son was also captured, if the Dajin Army didn't react a little, how could this breath be swallowed? Even if Dajin Jun can swallow this breath himself, in the eyes of others, it is a sign of cowardice. Cowardice is absolutely unacceptable to the Dajin Army. Therefore, before tasting enough bitterness, the Dajin army will definitely seize Yangguan Fort.

What Xu Xingxia used was Jianyu's psychology. Little by little, he wants to lead the other party into the trap of death. Yangguan Fort is a huge trap, a huge bottomless pit. The city wall was temporarily destroyed, and it was not a big problem. The cannons of Jianyu did not have flowering shells, and it was impossible to completely destroy the city walls. As long as there is the slightest obstacle, even if it is a broken city wall, the advantage occupied by the white-clothed army will be infinitely magnified.

On the contrary, if it was in the plains and wilderness, with only a thousand white-clothed troops and Jianyu cavalry, it would be absolutely impossible. The end is going to be very tragic. Such a stupid thing, Xu Xingxia naturally wouldn't do it. It is estimated that the thing that Nurhachi is looking forward to most in his heart now is that the white-clothed army will come out of the Yangguan Fort and fight with the Dajin army.

"My lord, the shelling of Jianyu has stopped." Liu Chuang hurriedly came to report.

After Jianyu's shelling stopped, Xu Xingxia came out of the bunker, patted the dust on his body, straightened his body, and raised his binoculars to look around. There is nothing special about it. The walls of Yangguan Fort were indeed partially smashed, but they could still continue to block the cavalry that had been built. As long as the walls can hold back the cavalry of the captives, nothing else is worth paying attention to.

In the distance, the artillery of Jianyu was packing up his things piecemeal. The cavalry who were in charge of supervising the firing of the artillery also walked away. All the guns are still firing and have not been adjusted. Judging by their movements, there should be no shells left. It is estimated that Jianyu is trying to find a way to search for shells everywhere. The Ming army in Liaodong had a large number of artillery, but did not have a sufficient number of shells, which was indeed a depressing thing.

Yun Qifeng got out of the bunker, raised the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and muttered, "Dog, Jianyu can actually use cannons." Didn't they say they hated firearms the most? If you hate it, don't use it. ”

Xu Xingxia said casually: "Keep pace with the times!" Nothing is set in stone. What do you think Jianyu has to deal with us besides artillery? ”

Yun Qifeng just complained casually, and there was nothing that needed to be truly expressed. He turned around and went to prepare his own artillery battalion. Jianyu's artillery hit so fiercely and so violently that it stimulated him greatly. He really wanted to pay tribute to Jianyu for a while. It's a pity that without Xu Xingxia's order, his artillery battalion can only be in a state of watching the battle for the time being.

Mao Wenlong and the others were really bombarded by the captured artillery, and they couldn't help but feel apprehensive in their hearts. Jianyu's artillery fire is indeed very ferocious. If it weren't for the fact that the white-clothed army had prepared in advance, I was afraid that this round of artillery fire would have killed more than half of the white-clothed army. The power of those solid bullets is still very terrifying, and the damage to the human body is very great. If the human body is hit, it is definitely the result of either death or injury. If there is no bunker that has been dug a long time ago, whether he Mao Wenlong can save his life depends on two words.
