Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, a thousand Mongolian cavalry rode their war horses towards the city wall. When they ran to more than 200 meters away from the city, everyone took out their bows.

Mongolians like short-term worker, which is commonly known as the ox horn bow, also known as the composite bow. This short bow is generally made of wood, with cow horns embedded at both ends; the back of the bow is semicircular, and the middle is gradually harvested into a round handle, stretched with beef tendon bow strings. The arrow is about 100 cm long; the arrow sickle is diverse in shape, mostly iron, and also has bone, and the arrow shaft is decorated with three rows of eagle feathers.

The characteristics of Mongolian bows and arrows are that the arrows are light and have a long range. If they are matched with iron armor-breaking arrows, they will have excellent penetration. In addition, the Mongolians are unique to the "Sabreman Archery" tactics. The Mongolians are indeed a very powerful army in the world. Hundreds of years ago, the Mongolians conquered nearly half of the world with their unparalleled riding and shooting.

However, time has changed, the Mongols today have been constantly attacking for hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty and are no longer as brave as they were back then. Today's Mongols have to use a few families together with an iron pot, let alone put iron arrows on their arrows. In addition to the heads or nobles, the arrows used by the Mongols today are mostly bone-made, and their penetration and lethality are naturally greatly reduced.

"Prepare to shoot arrows!"

When the Mongolian cavalry was flying more than 100 meters away from the city, the young Mongolian Qianhu named Zhugutai gave a loud order, and then more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry suddenly turned and began to run around the city.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With Zhu Gutai's order, the Mongolian cavalry let go of the bowstrings in their hands and the arrows like rain flew towards the city wall.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

With the sound of breaking wind, arrows shot onto the city wall like rain. From time to time, soldiers who were hiding were shot by arrows and screamed.

On the city gate tower, Sun Chengzong watched the Mongols keep shooting arrows onto the city wall and did not make a sound. He still looked at the Mongolians' performance with a calm expression. On the contrary, Lu Zhijia, the deputy general of the vanguard battalion, could not hold back. He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said to Sun Chengzong: "Supervisor, the Mongols are so rampant, you can order the defenders on the city to fight back!"

Before Sun Chengzong could speak, Zhao Rujiao shook his head and said, "No, although our arrows are sufficient at present, we should not waste them randomly. The Mongolians are now besieging the city to siege and shoot at very fast speeds. Even if we fight back, it is difficult for us to shoot them. We can only waste arrows in vain."

Lu Zhijia was very depressed and punched the guardrail. In fact, he understood the truth about Zhao Lujiao. He was just angry just now and then blurted out.

This is the viciousness of the siege of cavalry. The advantage of cavalry lies in their speed. Once the cavalry runs around the city, it is difficult for the defenders on the city wall to shoot cavalry in high-speed motion with bows and arrows. They can only waste precious arrows and archers' physical strength in vain. Once the archers are exhausted, the one who guards the city will have no power to fight back when the enemy outside the city sieges. This is also the main reason why Daishan lets the Mongols take the lead.

However, although the siege of the city is sharp, it cannot last long. After all, the cavalry has to run, and the knights on the horse have to keep shooting arrows on the city walls. This not only requires horsepower, but also consumes a lot of physical strength to the cavalry. Therefore, after shooting more than ten rounds of arrow rain, Zhu Gutai had to lead the cavalry to retreat.

When the Mongolian cavalry was torn off, the northern walls of Jinzhou city were already covered with arrows everywhere. After seeing the Mongolian cavalry retreating, the defenders on the city also took the opportunity to start treating the wounded and inspecting the defending equipment, preparing to deal with the next round of attack by the Later Jin army.

When Zhugutai proudly led his army to withdraw from the Mongolian army, he did not see the admirational gaze and approval, but the somewhat worried expression of Gulbush and Jewel. Seeing this situation, Zhugutai asked in confusion: "Two Taiji, is it because I didn't do it well just now?"

Taiji was the title of the Mongolian nobles granted by the Later Jin Dynasty. It was divided into four levels, from the first-class Taiji to the fourth-class Taiji, which was equivalent to the first-class official to the fourth-class official. As the first Mongolian nobleman to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty, both Gurbush and Jewel were named first-class Taiji by Nurhaci, so Zhugutai called them this way.

Gulbush said without explaining anything, "Jugutai, although your momentum when you attacked the city just now seemed huge, it actually did not have much lethality to the Ming army. We were afraid that Big Baylor would be dissatisfied."

"Damn Beller is not satisfied?" Zhu Gutai frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Taiji, you saw it just now. I led the Erlangs to kill the Ming army on the top of the city so that I didn't even dare to show my head. If the Big Beller is not satisfied, then what else can I do? We are all descendants of Genghis Khan, and we are only good at fighting on horseback. We can't let us dismount and climb the city wall ourselves, right?"

Gulbush and Angol looked at each other and were a little worried. Although the battle just now seemed very lively, it was almost useless except for killing and killing a few Ming troops. Dai Shan might be scolding them.

Just when they were worried, a Goshkhazer came over and conveyed Daishan's words as soon as they arrived, asking Gulbush and Jewel to go back and see him immediately.

Gurbush and Jeong Gor had no choice but to follow Goshha to the rear of the Later Jin army. The formation of the Later Jin army is different from that of the Mongolian army. Now the Later Jin army is in its prime and strong. After 12,000,000 Later Jin army lined up and couldn't see the edge at a glance. These Later Jin army were divided into three parts left, middle and right. There was a commander of Melezhangjing in the left and right parts. Among the left and right armies, two large red gold-edged flags were raised high by a long pole more than ten meters high and stood in the air.

There were three thousand soldiers and horses clustered under this big flag, and in the middle of these two big flags was the bigger flag on the other side. Because Dai Shan was the Big Bell, Nurhaci's biggest son now and a strong competitor to the next Khan, he had the right to use yellow as his big flag.

Daishan's big star embroidered with complex dragon patterns and red-edged golden threads. Behind this big star is a team holding satin-embroidered flat gold dragon cloud pattern umbrellas. This satin-embroidered flat gold dragon cloud pattern umbrellas are dyed colorful and look very gorgeous. There are ten smaller golden dragon flags behind the satin-embroidered flat gold dragon cloud pattern umbrellas, and long tails are dragged behind the golden dragon flag.

Standing under the big flag was the commander of the army, Da Beile Daishan of the Later Jin Dynasty. Next to it were dozens of Bayala wearing exquisite silver armor, commonly known as white-armored soldiers. These Bayala were wearing three layers of heavy armor, with long heavy swords hanging around her waist, and fierce faces. They were obviously veterans who had been fighting for the rest of their lives. At the same time, they were also the most elite soldiers in the Later Jin army.

After coming under this big flag, looking at the middle-aged man wearing a well-built scale inlaid with yellow and orange copper nails and a majestic middle-aged man, Gulbush and Jen Guerl's eyes showed a look of fear. When they came to Daishan, they quickly got off their horses and walked to Daishan and knelt down and shouted: "Gulbush (Just Goerl) of the Korko tribe, greeted Big Baylor!"

After the two of them finished speaking, Daishan did not let them get up as usual, but squinted their eyes and didn't know what they were thinking. Time passed by little by little, and the two of them became more and more nervous. After a while, they heard Daishan's slightly slender voice, "You all get up!"

"Thank you, Big Baylor!" After hearing this, Gulbush and Ol Gul stood up like a general amnesty. After looking at each other, they found sweat beads of oozing from each other's foreheads. The Big Baylor's majesty became more and more powerful.

Daishan is 42 years old this year and is Nurhaci's second son. He and his brother Chu Ying are both Nurhaci's concubines (formerly wife) and are born to the first generation of the great concubine Tong Jia (named Hahana Zhaqing). After Zhu Ying was sentenced to death by Nurhaci in the 40th year of Wanli (1612), he replaced Zhu Ying as Nurhaci's first heir. Nurhaci even said: "After a hundred years later, my youngest son and great concubine will be handed over to the great prince (referring to Daishan) for adoption." Daishan was in the limelight for a time.

But the good times didn't last long. In 1620 (the fifth year of Destiny), Daishan was too harsh to his two sons Yuetou and Shuoto, who were discovered by Nurhaci, and publicly abolished Daishan's position as crown prince. Because Daishan was still quite excited, he quickly knelt down to Nurhaci to admit his mistake. Therefore, although Nurhaci deposed his position as crown prince, he still retained the title of Da Beile for him. His position is currently the highest among all the belles.

Looking at Gulbush and Jereguer standing in front of him in a panic, Dai Shan snorted softly. These two guys were so humble and were soft in fighting. There was no wonder they were enslaved by the Qing Dynasty.

After a snorting, Dai Shancai said, "I have seen all the battles you just now. What kind of battle are you fighting? Where did the Mongolian cavalry that was so angry that they were so angry that they went? A group of people shot thousands of arrows at once and only shot a few mice that had no time to hide. If your ancestor Genghis Khan saw them, he would be angry to death."

"Hahaha……"

The Later Jin generals next to Daishan all burst into laughter after hearing this.

Even though Gulbush and Jerel had good tempers, they couldn't help but turn red with anger and said to themselves, "When we Mongolians were so angry that we were so angry that we were still fishing and hunting, but we really saw that the Mongolian cavalry that we fought against the world, you Jurchens might be the first to kneel down."

Seeing that Gulbush and Jen Guer's expressions gradually turned dark, Dai Shan thought it was almost the same. Now that the Mongolians have just recently surrendered, his father Khan attached great importance to the Korqin tribe. It would be bad if the ridicule too much makes the other party resent or even sued him when he went to his father Khan.

Thinking of this, his expression became a little kinder: "You have also seen the results of the battle just now. The cavalry and shooting just now did not even hurt the Ming army's fur. I was so disappointed. Our army will launch a strong attack later. You two lead the troops to suppress the Ming army on the city with bows and arrows. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, the two of them had a bitter face. This is a chore. It is not fun to play against the defenders. After all, the defenders themselves naturally have the advantage of the geographical advantage. One shoots arrows from top to bottom, and the other is an upward attack from bottom to top. The fool knows who takes advantage of it. Moreover, this life is also the most hated. The defenders on the city will definitely be the first to deal with them. The casualties are probably inevitable.

Seeing the two of them in a dilemma, Dai Shan's face suddenly darkened, "Why, our young men can fight with Ming Jun hard, can you do some cover?"

When Gulbush and Jerel were shocked when they heard Dai Shan say so seriously, they looked at each other and gritted their teeth: "No problem, we must cover the warriors of the Later Jin Dynasty to take down the city."

Seeing the two of them agree, Dai Shan finally smiled: "That's good, since that's the case, let's start siegeing the city!"

“Woo woo woo woo…”

Flashes of desolate and high-pitched horns sounded, and a auxiliary soldier began to push the shield cart towards the city walls of Jinzhou. This time, the attack on Daishan did not retain any troops, but directly sent out the main force and sent more than 80 shield carts to the ground.

Shield Knights are not high-tech weapons. They have used this kind of thing in various eras and countries. Although they are called differently, their actual function is to cover infantry attacks.

The shield cart was covered with leather with wooden boards several inches thick, and then pushed by soldiers to approach the enemy. The shield cart looked extremely thick. In the era of cold weapons, except for heavy long-range weapons such as crossbows, other bows and arrows had basically no effect on it. Therefore, it was also the most frequently used protective equipment in the Later Jin Dynasty in the battle against the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing the auxiliary soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty pushing shield chariots over, Sun Chengzong on the city wall also knew that the Jurchens were coming.

"Sir, let's order a counterattack!" Lu Zhijia, the deputy general of the vanguard battalion, asked anxiously.

This time, Sun Chengzong finally nodded, "I will pass on the order of the general in charge of the army and shoot artillery!"

"Architecture shooting!"

As an important town of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, Jinzhou naturally deployed a large killer such as artillery. Soon, four red cannons and eight general cannons deployed on the northern city wall began to roar. Driven by the huge kinetic energy of gunpowder, lead (cannonballs) shot towards the Later Jin army below.

"boom……"

A three-pound shell hit a shield car that was pushed forward by seven or eight auxiliary soldiers. The seemingly heavy shield car was smashed into pieces like a toy. The eight auxiliary soldiers who were pushing the cart and more than twenty infantry soldiers hiding behind the shield cart were suddenly shocked by the huge kinetic energy and spit out blood. The flying wood chips everywhere hurt people like shrapnel.

Seeing the first round of shooting, the Ming army on the city walls all gave off a shocking cheer.
Chapter completed!
