After Huang Taiji finished making arrangements, he then thought about the two men mentioning that during the retreat, Xingshan suddenly became brightly lit.

And when they were just preparing to go to Xingshan, it was strange that they could still see the lights nearly twenty miles apart.

"The brightly lit headlights you saw in Xingshan, what kind of bright lights are they exactly?"

"Back to the emperor, their lamp is very white. It can shine very far and see clearly, at least more than a mile."

"Shine the light from the top of the city to a mile away?"

Hearing this distance range, Huang Taiji exclaimed, with this kind of magical weapon, it would be impossible to attack at night.

The reason why night attacks can be used as a means of siege is because the visibility is low, and the army's arrangement will not be discovered by the defenders.

After controlling the city gate, the army entered the city but the city could not react, and thus successfully captured the city.

With this kind of light, even if a city gate is controlled, the army's actions will still be discovered by people from other places, and the city gate will eventually be captured again.

"And the Ming army's artillery is very powerful. Even if their explosive shells don't hit anyone, they can still injure someone if they explode. That's how Azig's hand was injured."

"Ajige and you are both one mile away from the enemy. How far did their artillery fire hit you?"

Also, apart from shooting on you guys, were you shot in the rear?"

"We didn't see how far away. The smoke from the firearms in front was too great. It was most likely shot from their military formation. Behind us, the farthest place was more than 200 meters away."

Huang Taiji listened to Jierhalang's reply and looked at Shang Kexi.

"The emperor, the prince and the county prince are located one mile away from the Ming army's defense line. The warriors shot arrows and hit the Ming army, which means that the distance between the Ming army and the Ming army was not more than 200 steps.

Judging from this, the range of Ming military firearms is two to three miles, which is not as good as the huge cannons of the Red Haired Man recently purchased by the Qing Dynasty."

"Very good, it's good to have a way to defeat the enemy.

This Royal Army is really difficult to deal with. Chongzhen’s son is really enlightened. If we don’t win over that Royal Company, it will definitely cause obstacles to the Qing Dynasty.”

Huang Taiji thought for a moment and looked at everyone. The elites of the Eight Banners could not fill the holes of the Royal Army. They needed more suitable cannon fodder.

"We suffered a defeat in this battle because the Ming army deployed defenses in advance and installed anti-horses, so the cavalry charge was restricted.

In addition, the Ming army made good use of firearms and waited patiently, allowing the three flags to hit the muzzle of the gun. This does not mean that the Royal Army is good. It can even be said that they are weak.

The guards who can only rely on ambushes, trickery, and conspiracy cannot compare to the uprightness of our Qing warriors.

Just like Chongzhen's son, he has no ability at all except for constantly changing his first assistant. Unlike me, a polite and virtuous corporal, who can make good use of others."

When Huang Taiji thought about Chongzhen, he became more confident. He looked down on all aspects of Chongzhen.

"Be respectful to the king, be wise and obedient to the king."

"Your Majesty! I am here!"

Kong Youde was delighted when his name was read out. He stood up and responded, feeling slightly excited. They knew their chance had come.

When they usually attack Songshan, Hong Chengchou's side is rich in supplies and has many men, but they are still huddled and often shoot at each other for a long time. The Qing army can't get anything except a slap in the face.

Now Huang Taiji has obviously asked them to deal with the Royal Army. This is the credit of a head-on confrontation.

They didn't know much about the Royal Army's firearms, but they knew the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy very well.

In their opinion, the Royal Army just took advantage of the ambush. When it came to the use of firearms, they themselves were professionals and had never been afraid of anyone.

The Manchu and Qing Dynasties, starting from the Chongzhen period, absorbed most of the human resources in Liaodong. At that time, Liaodong had so many years of firearms heritage.

Especially Kong Youde, although he was good at fighting in the Qing Dynasty, in fact, if there was a little bit of integrity in the officialdom, the Qing Dynasty would not be able to acquire the Ming Dynasty's firearms industry.

At that time, Kong Youde was sent to Shandong by Sun Yuanhua. He rebelled because of food and salary supplies. After returning to Dengzhou, Sun Yuanhua was defeated and captured by his old subordinate Kong Youde.

However, Sun Yuanhua's prestige was still there, and he managed to convince them that they were willing to accept the recruitment. This also shows that in fact, it was not a dead end for the Ming Dynasty rebellion to accept the recruitment again.

In other words, Chongzhen's point of view is entirely the point of view of the people below him. Whether that person was forced to rebel in a helpless way does not depend on Chongzhen, but on the news given to Chongzhen by the court ministers.

During the recruitment period, Wang Daochun, who was named the "loyal censor" in the early Qing Dynasty, strongly opposed the recruitment faction because of his official political views and hid the recruitment documents.

This made Kong Youde, whom Sun Yuanhua had already appeased, unable to be recruited for a long time. Out of fear, he rebelled again.

Sun Yuanhua persuaded Kong Youde again this time, saying that he would go to the capital to plead for mercy and get the recruitment documents in person. As a result, Wang Daochun directly attacked Kong Youde.

Kong Youde completely rebelled and fought into chaos. He took all the firearms and cannons, as well as the Western firearms craftsmen of Sun Yuanhua and Xu Guangqi in the Ming Dynasty, and defected to lead the Qing Dynasty, ultimately ruining the Ming Dynasty's firearms foundation in Liaodong.

Huang Taiji also looked at Kong Youde. If he wanted to deal with the Ming people's firearms camp, the best thugs were the Han troops who were good at using firearms.

"You Han army are good at using firearms. It just so happens that you will lead the Han army immediately. Before tomorrow morning, you must build a defense line between Songshan and Xingshan to resist the Ming army.

I will allocate all the shield vehicles to you, and Jilharang will support you. When the Ming army comes over on its own initiative, you can suppress their artillery and firearms battalions and let the cavalry with blue flags charge."

After hearing Huang Taiji's order, the two secretly thought that, as expected, this job fell on them. Shang Kexi thought about it for a while, if they mobilized troops at this time, they would probably be able to fall asleep even if they fired the gun tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, if we march overnight, I'm afraid it will cause fatigue to the soldiers.

I suggest that the firearms sergeants on the north and west sides be temporarily gathered to rush to the control route. They are close to each other and can still have more than an hour of rest.

At the same time, the general camp and the resting firearms camp in Jinzhou behind will replenish the defenses on the north and west sides tomorrow morning, what do you think?"

"Well, that's right, just follow what King Zhishun said."

During this initial contact, Huang Taiji didn't take it too seriously, and his initial anger dissipated.

If Azig hadn't been too reckless and sent out two waves of scouts before attacking with his entire army without detecting the enemy's horses, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

In the era before Gatling, three-stage shooting could only crush infantry formations, and large groups of cavalry were always unstoppable.

"Hmph, Han people's firearms! When I conquer the Ming Dynasty, these firearms must be banned.

I love the Xinjieluo family and are emperors immediately, but we cannot be blocked by these Han people's firearms, nor can we let the surrounding small countries learn to use firearms."

Huang Taiji, who had not yet conquered the Ming Dynasty, had already inspired the fear and shortsightedness of the grassland people towards firearms in their bones, and planned how to ban firearms.

"Tomorrow the Eight Banners is going to spread the news that Sun Chuanting has come to replace the commander, and at the same time he is clinging to the defense. I don't believe that this turtle like Hong Chengchou will never come out.

Now everyone returns to camp to rest, Abatai, Duoyi, prepare to guard the west side, Songshan will probably attack you tomorrow morning and come to support Sun Chuanting."

"I obey the order!"

Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Huang Taiji waved his hand and told everyone to go back. They had at most two hours to rest.

There was no talk all night. None of the Manqing people in Jinzhou slept well that night. Instead, Songshan and Xingshan slept as usual, while celebrating the end of the song, they fell asleep.

In the early morning, as the first ray of sunlight illuminates the sky, the capital city wakes up and begins its bustle again.

Chen Ye, who had woken up early with Chongzhen, was already at the drone airport, staring closely at the drone's flight control screen with the excited Chongzhen.

The current drone has flown past Shanhaiguan and is flying towards Ningyuan airspace.

"Innkeeper, according to the report last night, there are now three slave camps. Each camp is estimated to be about ten miles apart, surrounding Songshan, forming a thirty-mile-long encirclement."

"Each camp is about ten miles apart? It's difficult to fight if they are spread out."

Chen Ye calculated that according to this range, each of the Manchu and Qing camps must have more than 30,000 people.

"Lao Zhu, how many bombs have you prepared?"

"There are twenty pure bombs in total and thirty incendiary bombs. Ahem, I will give Huang Taiji a big gift first and let him hear the sound.

Jiannu didn't even sleep last night, so he must be in low spirits at this time, so I'll cheer them up."

Chongzhen stared at the computer screen happily with a smirk on his face.

"Then Huang Taiji probably won't be able to hear the sound. The explosion speed can reach thousands of meters per second.

And you have to send a report to Hong Chengchou. Don’t let any of the general soldiers have nothing to do. Come and have a warm-up battle with Jiannu early in the morning."

"That's true, huh? I'll ask the radio station to send the message."

Chongzhen picked up the walkie-talkie, gave instructions once, and continued to look at the top of the screen.

The Jinzhou area in Liaodong at this time.

There was a sudden movement in the Manchu camp last night, and the Songshan camp was on alert everywhere. The Songshan sergeants, who knew they had been surrounded, were in a state of solemnity.

According to the instructions, Hong Chengchou deployed control on the west side, north side of Songshan Mountain, and the east side of Rufeng Mountain. Originally, he was supposed to go out for a routine fight today to consume the Qing Dynasty. It was temporarily stopped.

He was waiting for the right time, or, as Chongzhen said, he was told to wait for the right time.

At this time, on the west side, Shang Kexi and Kong Youde had led the Manchu and Han troops to build a defensive line under the supervision of Jierhalang.

Kong Youde was in front of the position, looking in the direction of Songshan and the artillery lined up on both sides, full of confidence.

"Your Majesty, the scouts report! The Ming army in Xingshan has moved!"

"Okay, inform the brothers, prepare the artillery! When they reach the range of four miles, they will start firing artillery shells. Their artillery range is not short."

Groups of Qing troops stuffed gunpowder into the cannon bodies, lit torches and waited.

An hour later, after the thick fog dissipated, visibility in Jinzhou was extremely high.

Under the gaze of the Manchu and Qing firearms battalions, on the periphery of the four-mile field, groups of Royal Army troops pushing tricycles dispersed their formations and assembled artillery pieces on the flat ground. Behind them were musketeers lined up neatly.

Further behind, there were twenty trucks, the glass was covered with steel plates, and the vibration of the car engines made the area extremely noisy.

It's just that the Firearms Camp on Kong Youde's side and Jilhalang behind the Firearms Camp are destined not to see cars nearly five miles away.
