If you can't get rid of Chenyang City, it's useless to think about more other things. Whether it's west or east, you don't have many things you can do, and Nurhaci knew very well in his heart.

If Shenyang City can be taken, the next step will be taken Guangning and suppressing the Ming army at Shanhaiguan.

In this way, I can kill Lin Danhan all the way west. Although my subordinates are strong, one thing I can never solve is that there are too few people, and the existing people are not enough to do anything big.

Nurhaci understood that only if he could fight westward and conquer the Mongolian tribes, there would be hope.

Now Xiong Tingbi in Shenyang City is nailed there like a nail. If Nurhaci sends troops to the west, Xiong Tingbi will definitely take his lair. At that time, the retreat will be cut off and Nurhaci will have no hope.

So it is the most urgent thing to win Shenyang City now.

However, when thinking about Chenyang City and thinking about Xiong Tingbi again, Nurhaci felt a little headache. Xiong Tingbi is really too difficult to fight. If he can't fight this time, he has to think of some other solutions, at least he has to get Xiong Tingbi away.

As the army moved forward, Nurhaci abandoned these ideas, and the key was to fight this battle well in front of him.

In the city of Shenyang.

Xiong Tingbi kept accepting the rewards of exploring the horse, and his fighting spirit in the city became stronger and stronger.

Everyone knows that this time is probably another big battle. There have been several harassments from wild boar skins before, but they have never been that large-scale.

Xiong Tingbi naturally knew this very well.

After glanced at Li Guangrong beside him, Xiong Tingbi asked directly: "Is Eunuch Wei here?"

Since the Wei Dynasty arrived in Liaodong, this Wei Eunuch Wei has never left and became a military eunuch in Liaodong. This was something Xiong Tingbi did not expect.

If Xiong Tingbi wants to fight Nurhaci, he must first obtain the consent of the Wei Dynasty. Xiong Tingbi is very clear about this. After all, this Eunuch Wei was sent by the court, or the emperor.

The emperor asked Eunuch Wei to come here just to monitor Xiong Tingbi.

It is not rare to send eunuchs in the court, but the direction of Wei Chao staring at different from others. He will stare at Xiong Tingbi, or will stare at Xiong Tingbi, or will he fight.

The emperor hoped that Xiong Tingbi would stick to it. There was no other way.

"Go back to the Grand Marshal, the person has arrived, it seems like he has gone to see Li Yan." Li Guangrong said after thinking about it.

After hearing Li Guangrong's words, Xiong Tingbi nodded.

This man named Li Yan was sent from the capital. The last time he came to send a gun, he stayed in Liaodong, responsible for the use and maintenance of new firearms.

The people Li Yan brought were really good helpers. They did understand the cannons and muskets sent by the capital.

Because the two came from the capital together, Wei Chao and Li Yan had a good relationship. It was nothing strange that the two of them came here together.

It didn't take long, and there was a noise outside.

Xiong Tingbi knew that this was Eunuch Wei’s arrival.

Sure enough, Wei Chao and Li Yan walked in from outside.

After seeing Xiong Tingbi, Wei Chao smiled and bowed and said, "Master General, the fight is about to start. You don't have to care about our family. Our family just came and took a look."

"Eunuch Wei is joking. You still have the etiquette you should have." Xiong Tingbi said with a smile.

Li Yan on one side also saluted Xiong Tingbi.

His official position is not as high as Xiong Tingbi, so he should be more respectful.

After the salute, Li Yan said with a serious face: "Master, is there anything else we need?"

Before starting the firearm, you must check it and re-arrange it if there are any problems.

If Xiong Tingbi has any questions, Li Yan will also be responsible for answering them. Since Li Yan arrived in Liaodong, both sides have been cooperating like this, and it can be said that they are familiar with it.

Li Yan's words are just a formality and ask.

However, Xiong Tingbi still has problems.

He looked at Li Yan and asked, "Have you seen that cannon?"

Hearing Xiong Tingbi's question, Li Yan nodded seriously and said, "It's ready and has been installed. The shells are sufficient. You can open fire when needed."

After hearing Li Yan's words, Xiong Tingbi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then I'll be ruthless this time."

After saying this, Xiong Tingbi turned to look at Li Guangrong and said, "Let your brothers prepare. If things are done, we will fight out and let the wild boar skin know how powerful we are."

"Yes, the Grand Marshal!" Li Guangrong's face was full of joy and he quickly agreed.

Xiong Tingbi nodded, turned to look at Wei Chao and said, "Eunuch Wei, I don't know what else you want to say?"

Wei Chao smiled and shook his head, and said casually: "We don't care about this war. When we left the capital, Your Majesty had an explanation. If our family interfered with the command of the commander, Your Majesty would not spare our family."

"There is one thing that we still have to make clear. You want to fight, we know. But Grandmaster Xiong, you have to think clearly. The imperial edict given to you by Your Majesty is to protect Shenyang, not to let you annihilate the wild boar skin. You have to consider the importance of this."

After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi felt relieved.

Obviously, Wei Chao was already giving face. If it were the case before, Wei Chao would probably not have agreed.

At the same time, Xiong Tingbi also understood that the Wei Dynasty was indeed afraid of being charged with the crime of interfering in command.

As for why I was so scared, I was just afraid that I would participate in him.

Obviously, his status with His Majesty is really important, which can be seen from the reaction of Wei Dynasty.

So Xiong Tingbi nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Eunuch Wei, I will not exchange my brothers' lives for merit. With Your Majesty's imperial decree, I will naturally not do anything."

Seeing Wei Chao nodding, Xiong Tingbi looked directly at Li Yan and said, "Let's go to the top of the city to take a look."

"Yes, the Grand Marshal." Li Yan agreed, stood sideways, waiting for Xiong Tingbi to leave first.

After the group left the house, they climbed directly to the top of the city.

On the top of the city wall, the group did not stop and came to the front of a giant.

Looking at the things in front of him, Xiong Tingbi's eyes were glowing.

This is a huge cannon that Xiong Tingbi has never seen before.

When the giant cannon was transported to Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi was shocked.

It is said that when transporting it, it took a lot of effort, and many things were assembled after they arrived in Liaodong. If you want to move the whole thing, it is simply impossible to achieve.

This is because someone came from the Baigong Academy and brought a lot of tools, otherwise it would be unlikely to install it.

Looking at Li Yan beside him, Xiong Tingbi smiled and said, "Mr. Li, this time I'm pointing at it."

"Don't worry, the handsome man, there must be no problem." Li Yan said confidently.

This is the latest artillery of the Baike Academy. Of course, the most important thing is not this. The most important thing is that this artillery is too large, with a lot of charge and a very long range.

As for the material used in this gun, it is said to be copper alloy, which is also a newly developed material. It has moderate softness and is suitable for casting; it has enough hardness and will not easily explode.

The loading method is also different from before. It uses Frangi's mother bullet, and it is also a flowering bullet, which can be said to be very powerful.

The most important thing is that this cannon has rifle. This is the latest development of the Baike Academy, and it was originally just a test-type cannon.

The reason why it was cast so large was mainly to study rifle and to test new materials. After it was manufactured, this cannon was basically useless.

For the current Baigong Academy, as long as the weapons produced are not broken and can be used, they will be sent to Liaodong.

The cannon in front of me is this kind of product, and it cannot be moved if it is placed here. Because its weight reaches more than 3,000 kilograms, it can be said to be very heavy and there is no way to move it.

Using the newly developed artillery shell, the range can reach twelve miles, which can be said to be very powerful. Therefore, Baigongfang has always been arguing about whether to manufacture such artillery.

After this cannon was made, many people were very excited and thought that this was the direction of the future. It was bigger, had a longer range and stronger power.

But some people think it is so bulky that they cannot transport and carry it, and it is impossible to engage in field battles in the wild.

Therefore, they believe that lightweight artillery is the key, and it must be easy to carry and fire. After achieving such achievements, you can also use large-scale equipment to make up for the shortcomings in the market.

The two sides also had a debate, and the cannon was sent to Liaodong, which also had the meaning of experimentation.

In fact, there are already a lot of artillery in Liaodong now, just look at it on the top of the city now.

There is a cannon on the four walls every few steps, which can be said to be very arranged. Anyway, Li Yan doesn't believe that there is an army that can capture the city under such artillery fire.

Xiong Tingbi stroked the cannon, his eyes very gentle, just like he stroked his beloved woman.

Originally, Xiong Tingbi did not plan to go out of the city to fight, but this time after he had this cannon, his mind began to shake.

After all, the wild boar skin didn't know that there was such a cannon. After Xiong Tingbi saw this cannon, he still remembered the shock in his heart.

If Nurhaci was given a shot with this cannon, Xiong Tingbi believed that he would have an unexpected effect.

Moreover, the various artillery on the top of the city had already been calibrated to the firing elements. Without temporary adjustment of the angle, the soldiers on the top of the city knew where each artillery could shoot.

When the cannons are covered, they will definitely be a big surprise. If the cannon has a long enough range, if Nurhaci can be killed with one shot, Xiong Tingbi will lead his army to attack.
