In this battle, Chongzhen also knew that there was no room for maneuver, and now Yu Xiaotian was tantamount to completely tearing his face with the imperial court, officially raising the anti-flag, and embarking on the road of rebellion.

And in this battle, Chongzhen also realized that Yu Xiaotian was really powerful, he originally thought that Yu Xiaotian's department, after experiencing a fierce battle with Jiannu, did not have much combat power left, so he wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him, but the result was never expected that it would be such a result, the 30,000 "elite soldiers" led by Chen Xinjia were swept away by others in front of the army.

I'm afraid that things will be very troublesome at this time, and if Wu Xiang can't defeat Tianjin Wei, then the entire Gyeonggi will probably tremble under the front of the army.

So he ordered Chen Xinjia to be arrested and questioned, sent someone to replace Chen Xinjia to gather the defeated army, deployed it nearby, and strengthened the protection of the periphery of the capital, and at the same time sent people to Shaanxi again to immediately send an edict to Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, telling them to give up the matter at hand, and work day and night to ensure that within a month, they rushed to the Beijing division to enter the guard, and prepare to deal with the great changes.

In addition, he issued an edict again, summoned the world, announced that Yu Xiaotian was a rebel and thief, and wanted to create a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, and ordered the soldiers and horses of the world to fight together.

In short, this time he realized that his Ming Dynasty was likely to completely collapse because of Yu Xiaotian, and then he issued an order to order all the officers and troops in the Gyeonggi area to be strictly guarded against the Yu family's army approaching the Jingshi.

But just when he was busy, he got the news that made him vomit blood even more.

The 20,000 Guanning army led by Wu Xiang was also defeated in Tianjin......

After Wu Xiang received the holy decree, like Chen Xinjia, he immediately led the army from Xianghe to Tianjin Wei.

On the way, Wu Xiang's department did have several skirmishes with the small force of Yu Jiajun in the north of Tianjin Wei, but they all won easily, after all, Yu Jiajun put too few troops north of Tianjin Wei, mainly for vigilance, it was impossible to stop so many officers and troops, and it was also known as the first army of the Ming Dynasty Guanning Army.

Therefore, after Wu Xiang won a small victory, he learned that the strength of the Yu family army of Tianjin Wei was very small, only about 3,000 people in total, and he also had to defend the ferry wharf, and the troops were relatively weak.

So he ordered the army under his command to march day and night, and it took only three days to rush to the Acropolis of Tianjin.

At this time, the strength of the Yu family army guarding Tianjin was very small, only three battalions of the Ninth Brigade, including two artillery companies, and in fact, the infantry strength was only about 3,000 people.

But fortunately, after receiving the order, the navy transferred two naval companies from the navy, and about seven or eight hundred sailors from each ship, landed and rushed to Tianjinwei, which strengthened the defensive force of Tianjinwei, so that the entire Tianjinwei area, at this time, the strength of Yujia's army was about 5,000 people.

However, these 5,000 men were not all guarded in the Tianjin Acropolis, they also had to defend the two pontoon bridges on the Tianjin Wei Canal, and two infantry battalions and an artillery company were placed in the area of the pontoon bridges and ferries.

Therefore, there was only one infantry battalion and artillery company stationed in the city, plus the naval sailors, so that their forces were relatively scattered.

After Wu Xiang led his army to Tianjin Wei, he immediately surrounded the Tianjin Acropolis and divided his troops to try to capture the pontoon crossing, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle.

This is also the biggest test faced by the Yujia army since the landing, Wu Xiang's troops are mostly Guanning generals, well-equipped, and strong combat effectiveness, there are more firearms, and more than 20 cannons were brought with the army, of course, it can't be Hongyi cannons, just ordinary general artillery.

These Guan Ning troops are still relatively capable of fighting, and Wu Xiang has just been reinstated, and he is about to show his feelings, so the siege is quite fierce, and as soon as the two sides fight, they all took out their old books and fought to the death.

But Wu Xiang wants to capture Tianjin Wei with superior forces, it is simply a dream, even if the number of defenders of the Yu family army of Tianjin Wei is very small, it is not something they can pinch if they want to, although their troops are weak, but the firepower is very strong.

After the landing of the Yu family army and the capture of Tianjin Wei, although there was no increase in troops, but they were constantly increasing their weapons, and the navy was completely reduced to auxiliary forces this time, but they were not willing to watch from the sidelines, so that the credit was taken away by the army, so they also actively cooperated and tried to find a way to give them some credit.

By the way, because there are many artillery on the ship, it cannot play a role at all, Yu Xiaotian proposed to unload a batch of artillery from the ship and transport it to Tianjin Wei to strengthen the defense force of Tianjin Wei, and the navy immediately did so.

During this time, the navy continued to dismantle some guns from various ships at the Dagukou wharf and transfer them to Tianjinwei, these naval guns were not suitable for field use because of the gun mount structure, but they were used to defend the fixed stronghold fortress or city, but it was very suitable.

When Wu Xiang led the army to attack Tianjin Wei, the naval guns on the Tianjin Acropolis alone had been placed more than 40 at this time, and what made Wu Xiang's head as big as a bucket was these artillery, all of which were Hongyi cannons, and they were also heavy artillery, the smallest was also a twelve-pound naval gun, and most of them were basically twenty-four-pounder naval guns.

That's not all, Yu Xiaotian went north this time, and he also brought a siege heavy artillery battalion, all equipped with twenty-four-pound siege artillery, at this time this heavy artillery battalion was also in Tianjinwei, with more than a dozen twenty-four-pound siege heavy artillery.

These cannons have a large caliber, a long range, sufficient power, and fierce firepower, Wu Xiang was completely unaware of this, and led the army to Tianjin Wei to start the siege of the city, only to taste the power of these cannons of the Yu army.

After the siege on the first day, the defenders of the Yujia army of Tianjin Wei fired hundreds of shells, and the Guanning army lost their armor and corpses were scattered all over the field.

Wu Xiang knew that it was powerful, and the next day he changed his tactics and continued to attack, but he still made no achievements, and the defenders did not want to make any contributions, but they asked for no fault, and the Guanning army bombarded with cannons from a distance, and began to shoot guns when they attacked the city.

Although the rifle equipment of the navy is not as good as that of the army, some sailors are still holding the first generation of Nanjapan-style smoothbore guns, and even if they are reloaded, they are short-barreled wolf's tooth rifles, and the firing range is closer than the wolf's tooth rifles used by the army.

But even so, the muskets in the hands of the sailors were still quite powerful, and when the fire was fired in a volley, it still beat the besieging Guan Ning army to the bottom of the city.

Although the Guanning army has strong combat effectiveness, but these Guanning troops are all pampered out of the arrogant soldiers, like other armies of the Ming Dynasty, they are all standard old-style troops, the generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the soldiers will naturally not sell their lives, after two days of fierce fighting, the Guanning army suffered heavy losses, and suddenly lost all its sharpness.

Even the Guanning troops who were responsible for attacking the canal pontoon bridge and ferry were the same, and under the desperate resistance of the defenders of the family army, they were killed and wounded a large number of people, but they did not make an inch, and they did not even touch the edge of the ferry.

Even Zu Kuan, the general of Guan Ning, who led the army to attack, was injured by a bullet, and if it weren't for his own soldiers desperately saving him, even he would have to fold in front of the battle on the spot.

Therefore, as a result of the two days of fierce fighting, Wu Xiang's troops suffered heavy losses, but they did not gain an inch, and the morale of the entire army quickly fell.

On the third day, Wu Xiang wanted to take a break from the army for a day and talk about adjustments, but Li Tong, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, didn't want to rest, and only brought a battalion of infantry to challenge the Guanning Army.

Wu Xiang was angry, so his son Wu Sangui personally led 5,000 officers and troops to fight, but the two sides fought fiercely in the area of the ferry, and the officers and troops led by Wu Sangui were actually beaten and collapsed on the spot, if it weren't for Wu Xiang also led heavy troops to watch the battle behind, Li Tong might be able to kill Wu Sangui.

Wu Xiang now knew the strength of the Yu family's army, although he had a lot of troops, but in terms of combat power and the Yu family's army was not at the same level at all, and the Yu family's army was sticking to the defensive line, he had a lot of cavalry, but he couldn't give full play to his advantages, in the face of the fierce artillery fire of the Yu family's army, the Guanning army under his command was almost only beaten, but it couldn't cause much damage to the enemy at all.

Under such circumstances, the Guanning army was afraid and did not dare to fight to the death, so Wu Xiang had no choice but to order to change the onslaught to a siege, ask the court for help, and ask the court to send more soldiers and horses to attack Tianjin Wei.

However, Yu Jiajun did not intend to give him a chance, and after arranging the affairs in Jinghai County, he received the news that Meng Fei had defeated Chen Xinjia's troops at the Daqing River ferry, and Yu Xiaotian immediately transferred the first brigade out and ordered it to rush back to Tianjin Wei at full speed.

In the early morning of the sixth day when Wu Xiang led the army to Tianjin Wei, the whole army of the First Brigade rushed back to Tianjin Wei, rested for a day, and on the morning of the seventh day, together with the Ninth Brigade, they killed Tianjin Wei and attacked Wu Xiang's camp.

Needless to say, the Guanning Army bears the title of the world's first male soldier, and under the fierce attack of the First Brigade, it has changed from an attacker to a defender.

After suffering this defeat, the morale of the Guanning army has fallen to the bottom, Wu Xiang no longer dares to fight head-on with the Yu family's army, so he can only defend the camp to the death, like a turtle with a shrunken head, shrinking his head and limbs into the turtle shell, and letting the Yu family army beat him, saying that he will not fight anymore.

Yan Fucheng, the commander of the First Brigade, attacked several times, but because the officers and troops were closed, they just desperately released arrows and guns, so that he failed several attacks and failed to break through the official army camp.

So after Yan Fucheng and Li Tong discussed it, they decided to give Wu Xiang a ruthless blow, and ordered to send people back to transfer the siege heavy artillery battalion to the front of the two armies, and directly put the cannon outside the official army camp, and the muzzle of the gun was directly aimed at the official army camp to beat.

More than a dozen 24-pounder siege guns were lined up, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed at the official army camp, and with an order, these heavy artillery guns opened full firepower, and only two rounds of salvo fire opened a big hole in the camp fence of the official army camp, and the officers and soldiers who fought the defense were killed and wounded.

However, Yan Fucheng still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he ordered to continue firing, extending the firepower to the camp, and using artillery to comb the official army camp first.
