In view of the fact that the walls of Ash Niulu were very strong, Qin Shuhuai did not order a strong attack, but besieged the city first.

Among the 60,000 troops, 30,000 are used to besiege the city, and the other 30,000 are distributed in the north of the city, the west of the city, and the south of the city, of which the defense in the west of the city extends to the Liao River, and the defense in the south of the city extends to the Hunhe River - Ash Niulu City is in the middle of these two rivers, if the Tartar reinforcements want to come, either from the north directly, if they come from the south and the west, they will cross the river, so the banks of the river are naturally the focus of patrol.

After the siege of the city, in addition to returning Fan Wencheng to humiliate Mang Gurtai, Qin Shuhuai also sent a loud voice every hour to shout under the city with the "horn" he "invented".

"The Manchurians, Han Chinese, and Mongols in the city, listen, you have been surrounded! The Aixin Jueluo family is gone, and they will definitely suffer the disaster of annihilation! The great tomorrow is merciful, as long as you open the city and surrender, you will not be blamed for the past! You are all old and young, why do you want to die with the Aixin Jueluo clan? Quickly open the city gate and surrender, surrender the troops, and do not kill them!"

There are three versions of the shouting, Chinese, Manchu and Mongolian. Of course, there are still some soldiers from the Western Regions in the city, this Qin Shuhuai really can't find anyone to shout, the Western Regions dialect is too difficult to understand, except for those who run business, although there are people in the coalition who have been to the Western Regions, but how can those big bosses learn this?

After shouting for a day, Qin Shuhuai doesn't know what the effect is, anyway, psychological warfare, idle is idle.

But then again, the Mongolian soldiers and Han soldiers in the city are indeed not so strong at the moment. Needless to say, the Han people naturally did not say that the Mongol soldiers came to save the Tartars in the first place? Wasn't it that the powerful Eight Banners Army of the Tartars could defeat the Ming army, so that the Ming Kingdom would die of the heart of conquering the grasslands?

What about now? The Manchurians obviously can't defeat the Ming army, how can they not have any ideas in their hearts?

During the day, he shouted for a day, and at night Qin Shuhuai wrote a letter of persuasion and threw it to the city, the content of which was to persuade Mang Gurtai to abandon the city and surrender.

Mang Gurtai received the letter of persuasion and sneered.

Although he has a conflict with Huang Taiji, it is a joke to let him, who is the commander of the Blue Banner, surrender!

Yes, Daikin is indeed at a disadvantage at the moment, but is this war bound to be lost?

Not necessarily!

On the second line of defense, he wanted to use himself as bait and bite Qin Shuhuai hard!

Qin Shuhuai performed for a day and a night, and it seemed that he had found nothing.

But this is a necessary performance, the most taboo thing for soldiers is to fight the army of the Jedi, Qin Shuhuai is easy to make the soldiers in the city have the illusion that the other party does not want to kill them all, if the other party kills them, we really can't fight and surrender.

Once a person has a way out, even if it is a self-perceived and uncertain way out, he will not fight to the death.

This is the reason why any army in history will persuade and shout after besieging a fortified city.

However, releasing goodwill is one thing, if you want to win Ash Niulu, you have to speak with strength.

Qin Shuhuai didn't want to waste too much time here, because the longer the time, the greater the risk for his 60,000 horses - not to mention that the Tartars had enough time to send troops to help, just said that winter had come, and supplies would be a problem at that time.

The next day, he finally bared his fangs.

Ten red-coated cannons that accompanied the army began to bombard the city of Ash Niulu.

Although the red-coated cannon was one of the strongest cannons at that time, it was a breech cannon after all, and the shells were still round, so it was still very difficult to collapse the Ash Niulu city wall made of bluestone strips, rammed earth and bricks, mixed with chicken blood, and glutinous rice.

However, if you can't knock down the opponent's city wall, it is more than enough to flatten the buildings in the city.

After all, whose walls are as thick as walls?

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Huge cannonballs crossed the walls and began to wreak havoc inside the city!

An ordinary wooden house can collapse with just one shot!

A larger brick "mansion" will raze you to the ground with three shots at most!

Most of the residents in the city are full of people - Ash Niulu, this is obviously the settlement of the Eight Banners Niulu, because the Eight Banners are mixed with military and civilian, that is, all the people are soldiers, as long as there is a need, all the residents in the city are soldiers, so Qin Shuhuai did not stop the artillery bombardment of the houses,

However, after some experiments with the houses, the Ming artillery finally adjusted the "parameters" such as the angle of the muzzle and the amount of gunpowder filled, and began to get down to business.

"Boom, boom!"

Ten cannons slammed into the Tartars' military depot in the west of the city with unmistakable accuracy, and in an instant the depot collapsed, and smoke billowed out, causing a fire.

How did the Ming army know where the Tartar grain depot was located?

It's very simple, there are a few White Lotus Sectists in the city, but they have been lurking here almost a year ago, which is the granary, they are not yet Menqing?

Not to mention the granary, basically all the important buildings in Ash Niulu City, such as the yamen and the armory, have all been drawn and sent out as early as a month ago.

As long as the artillery of the Ming army is marked on the map, one by one is accurate.

Let's say that after the collapse of the opponent's granary, the artillery of the Ming army still did not transfer the muzzle and continued to bombard in the direction of the granary.

Now the Tartar is dying, the granary has been blown down, and a raging fire has been ignited, and this is saved!

But the other party's ten red-clothed cannons were booming there as if they didn't want money, and the huge cannonballs were falling like raindrops, who could bear it?

Fight the fire?

The artillery of the Ming army bombarded the granary for more than an hour, and I don't know how many shells were blasted out, in short, the granary was bombarded into slag.

After the bombardment of the granary, the artillery continued to turn the muzzle of the gun to bombard the armory, and soon the armory was also bombed into slag.

The Tartars can only be in a hurry, they can't reach the artillery of the Ming army, and they can't carry the huge shells, can they only be in a hurry?

Although there were only ten red-coated cannons, the Ming army exerted its power to the extreme.

After bombarding the armory, the Ming artillery began to bombard the Yamen again.

In the end, after all the military targets were bombed, they began to bomb civilian houses aimlessly.

At least 6,000 shells were fired!

The cannonballs are enough, and they brought 70,000 rounds of shells when they set off, so how can they usually get so much, and they don't need to wait any longer at this time?

It is not necessary to consider whether the barrel can withstand it. First, the barrel of the redcoat cannon is made of iron, which is much more reliable than the previous copper one. On the other hand, the standard rate of fire of the red-coat cannon is almost a little more than one shot per minute, and the power of gunpowder at that time is not as powerful as modern gunpowder, so naturally the damage to the barrel is not so great, so no matter how you hit this frequency, you can't damage the barrel.

The ears of the artillerymen were almost deaf, and many of them had several layers of cotton stuffed in their ears.

And the city of Ash Niulu was destroyed.

This city is big, but it is relatively "big", and the actual total area is only a little more than one square kilometer (the circumference of the city wall of Ningyuan City is only 3,200 meters, a total of less than one square kilometer), and there are about more than 2,000 large and small buildings in the city, and now half of them have been blown off - regardless of large and small households, as long as the family is hit by shells, they can't escape the end of a broken family.

What's worse is that many of the buildings are wooden structures, and after being hit by artillery fire, they immediately ignited a raging fire, and now the city is full of thick smoke, the fire is spreading, and a pile of broken bricks and tiles is full of stumps and broken bones, and the cries of children, women and children, and the screams and scolding of men are mixed together, like purgatory on earth.

Qin Shuhuai has the potential to raze the city of Ash Niulu.
