Early the next morning, Niu Mantun followed the army and set out. The 60,000 troops of the Hou Jin Army moved very quickly. Coupled with the disagreement between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen within the Ming Army, there was a huge loophole in the defense line! The entire Liaohe defense line was in vain!

After the Jin army quickly crossed the Liao River with almost no bloodshed, the Ming army's first line of defense was easily ineffective.

After crossing the Liao River, the army of the Hou Jin Dynasty continued to march at a fast pace. The frontline was directed at Xiping Fort outside Guangning City. The Ming army relied on Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort, Zhenning Fort, etc. outside Guangning City to build a second line of defense.

, hoping to stop the Jin army. Therefore, the strategic location of Xiping Fort is very important! It is the gateway to Guangningcheng.

It stands to reason that such an important place should be heavily guarded. But unfortunately, due to the incompatibility between the government and the government, many defensive measures were not implemented. There were only 3,000 defenders in Xiping Fort. This directly led to the collapse of Xiping Fort.

Fall, the Ming army’s second line of defense opens!

Later, the Jin army rushed to Xiping Fort and began to attack without rest. Sixty thousand troops surrounded Xiping Fort. Although the entire army was not needed to attack Xiping Fort, the formation of the generals and horses was also a deterrent to the defenders.

.So although Niu Mantun didn't get the chance to go into battle, he still stood around for a whole day.

Niu Mantun could not see the battle ahead, but he also knew that the Jin army's attack was not going smoothly. He heard that the previous attacks made a huge noise, but the Ming army's artillery fire never scattered. They only relied on more than 3,000 people.

It withstood the successive attacks of 60,000 Hou Jin troops. However, Niu Mantun knew that Xiping Fort could not support it for long, because the sound of artillery coming from Xiping Fort became increasingly sparse. This can only mean that the Zi Yao in the city may not be able to support it for long.

There are too many. Or there are not many people who can operate the cannon. No matter what the situation is, it is not a good thing for Xiping Fort.

The Hou Jin army fought fiercely for a whole day but failed to conquer Xiping Fort. In the evening, the Jin army withdrew its troops and returned to the camp. Not long after Niu Mantun returned to the camp, he received an order from his superiors: Go to bed early tonight.

The city is under siege. In fact, the Hou Jin Army is very reluctant to do this kind of ant attack on the city, because their population is too small! Every death here

A single bannerman is a huge loss to the Jin army. However, there are many fortified cities in Liaodong, and sometimes human lives have to be taken to fill them.

So Niu Mantun fell asleep with a full heart, waiting for the siege tomorrow. When the drums and trumpets sounded, the people in the tent began to get up. Niu Mantun also woke up. Everyone was in the dark

Li silently arranged his weapons and clothes. A slight clanging sound could be heard.

Niu Mantun also quickly arranged his clothes and armor. Gan Deleng told him that when Shangguan ordered the troops, his clothes and armor were not neatly arranged for twenty whips! Niu Mantun arranged his clothes and armor and started eating. In the current war, if there is not enough in the stomach

There was so much food that he couldn't even hold a knife! So Niu Mantun didn't skimp on the food, stuffing large gulps of flatbread and meat strips into his mouth, and then washing them down with ice-cold water.

After the frozen water entered the stomach, there was a strange burning sensation, as if the drink was scalding hot water! After everyone finished eating, they all sat there silently waiting for the order. They had already heard the order.

The sound of drums and trumpets and the sound of fighting sounded in the front. It seemed that the first siege of the day had begun. I just didn't know how it would be achieved.

It wasn't until the horn blew outside that everyone filed out and rushed to the battlefield. Although this was not Niu Mantun's first time on the battlefield, his legs and stomach were still hard and his mouth was dry. He looked at the many broken huts staying on the battlefield.

Cars and ladders, you can tell that yesterday's offensive and defensive battle was very intense. The corpses farther away from the wall of Lixiping Fort have been cleaned up, but there are still many corpses under the city wall and not far away that have not been recovered. This is all yesterday and today

The soldiers of the Hou Jin Army who died in the battle. At this time, the soldiers who attacked the city for the first time had retreated, and they were walking past them with angry expressions.

Niu Mantun was sizing up the battlefield when a row of carts rolled over. The officer shouted and asked everyone to follow the advance of the carts. Niu Mantun looked around and found that after this attack, the Jin Army invested five Niulu missiles.

Military strength! It seems that we are determined to win.

In the Hou Jin Army, one Niu Lu equals 300 people. Five Niu Lu equals 1,500 people. Niu Mantun estimates that after a day of fighting yesterday, the number of defenders in Xiping Fort is probably less than 1,500.

The sound of drums and trumpets made Niu Mantun's heart tremble! Everyone huddled together and followed the cart slowly towards the city wall. Niu Mantun had experience following the cart, and he looked at the broken battlefield

Use the objects to estimate the distance. Just when he thought the Ming army should fire quickly, he heard the rumbling sound of artillery coming from ahead!

Niu Mantun prayed desperately that his carriage would not be hit by the cannon. He knew that if the carriage was hit by the cannon, he would be lucky to be able to recover a whole body! Maybe his prayers worked, and the people on the Xiping Fort

The sound of artillery was very rare! Even the cannons that were fired were not accurate. It must be that all the good gunners were lost.

Niu Mantun and his group were not in the center of the line, but in the second position on the right. So the first ones to rush out were not them, but the Niulu in the middle. Not far from the city wall

At that place, the man from Niulu drove the Ahabs to carry the ladders and rush towards the city wall.

After seeing the city wall, the Jin army began to attack, and the sound of cannons and cannons became more intensive. But compared with yesterday, it was sparse and had no deterrent effect. So although some people fell down in Niu Lu, overall there were not many. This

It gave Niu Mantun the confidence to live.

Niu Mantun saw that Niu Lu quickly approached the city wall, and then the ladder was erected. After the iron hook on the ladder hooked the city wall, the soldiers of the Hou Jin Army screamed and climbed up. At this time, the sound on the battlefield reached

The climax! The sound of drums, trumpets, cannons, shouts, and screams soared into the sky!

Ming army soldiers appeared on the city wall. They threw stones, shot arrows, and fired firecrackers outwards. There was also a group of selected archers of the Later Jin Army under the city, suppressing and shooting at the city wall. The Later Jin Army mostly used heavy-duty weapons.

The arrow is shaped like a reduced flat shovel, very sharp and heavy! Even if it misses the vital point, it will cause a huge wound and bleed continuously!

Niu Mantun also saw a wolf slap released from the city wall, roaring and hitting the crowd! Immediately, two Hou Jin soldiers were slapped into meat patties without even shouting! The Hou Jin soldiers on the side tried desperately to cut off the wolf.
Chapter completed!
