From Liao Shen to Ningyuan, the consumption of grain transport for hundreds of miles is not small, right? The key is that the Ming army's strategic contraction was too immoral, which made the Later Jin Dynasty unable to get supplies on its way.

The marching team that could not see at first sight was moving forward in the cold wind, with 20,000 people and horses, bright armor, which was the heavy armored soldiers Nurhaci leaned on for the elite attack.

In addition to heavy armored soldiers, Nurhaci also prepared firearm troops, all composed of Han soldiers, carrying cannons and bird guns to help attack.

Judging from the idea and preparation, Nurhaci was correct and did his best. But he didn't know that the Red Barbarian cannon was built on the head of Ningyuan City with greater power and longer range.

As for the heavy armored soldiers, they will also become fragile in front of the Ming army's large number of assault equipment.

Of course, the old slave is still quite confident now. Especially when he sees the unstoppable power of the thousands of troops walking in a strong manner, he has great expectations for the victory of this battle.

After reaching out and calling Tong Yangxing, Nurhaci asked, "This time the attack on Ningyuan is crucial. Whether the city can be broken will depend on the power of the cannon."

Tong Yangxing hurriedly bowed and replied, "Don't worry, King Khan, I will lead the Han soldiers to exert the power of artillery to break through the city of Ningyuan."

The five thousand Han soldiers who went to the army this time carried a total of fifty artillery pieces, all of which were seized from the Ming army in previous battles. Among them, thirty large and medium-sized generals' artillery pieces and twenty Franchise machines.

The General's cannon has several cannon hoops, which resemble bamboo joints, and is also called bamboo joints.

In the later stage, the iron hoop was removed to reduce weight and changed to a light cannon body. "Thickened at the point where the loading is ignited, and the star-shaped door was added before and after, and the comparison can be made from a thousand steps away."

The general's cannons have been transformed into the style of the Folang machine. They often have three or four sub-guns that can be fired quickly. They are called the Invincible General.

It can be seen that these cannons are old models, both bulky and not very powerful. Especially compared with the Red Artillery cannons, they are far behind.

Moreover, these artillery fired solid shells also seemed to be very lethal to the Ming army in the fortifications of the trench chest walls.

This is also normal. The Ming army changed its tactical style and has been experimenting and exploring for most of the year. How could Houjin find a way to deal with it in a short time?

For the Later Jin Dynasty, it was already very quick to react and thought carefully.

Nurhaci was very happy about Tong Yangxing's guarantee, and smiled and said, "You once suggested casting cannons on your own and preparing more firearms. When this battle is successful, I will give you the responsibility."

"Thank you, King Khan." Tong Yangxing bowed again, paused for a moment, and he said, "Our Great Jin army is rushing to recruit and is invincible in the field. If there is another artillery battalion to attack, there will be no obstacles to breaking the city and siege."

Nurhaci said: "What I said is very true. If artillery helps the battle in Guangning, it would probably be another result."

Looking at the Han soldiers who were yelling slogans by the roadside, Nurhaci pondered for a moment and said, "I know that the Ming army's muskets are sharp, but I don't know how the Ming army's cannons are?"

Tong Yangxing thought for a while and said, "As far as we know, the weight of the Ming army artillery was reduced, or the casting age was newer. But in terms of power, it should be different from our army."

Nurhaci looked relieved, nodded repeatedly, and said, "This is not a fear."

He reached out and called the messenger, and the old slave ordered: "Tell San Beile, speed up the speed of the journey and eliminate the enemies along the way."

"Yes, the servants are obeying the orders of the khan." The messenger had finished delivering his salute and left.

Among the forward team, San Beilemanguertai and his younger brother Degele were moving forward together. He was extremely excited and happy to get the opportunity to go to war with his father.

Because this means military achievements, and military achievements mean an improvement in status and reputation among the Baylors.

After Nurhaci abolished the position of Prince Daishan, many heirs were naturally coveted by many.

Although Amin is the second Beile, he is Nurhaci's nephew. Judging from this relationship, he is no longer qualified.

Manguertai was brave and good at fighting. He participated in the battles of Sarhu and attacked Yehe tribes. He made great achievements and was ranked above Huang Taiji. He was indeed a strong competitor in the Khan position.

Huang Taiji did not have too favorable conditions at the time, so he could be said to be very low-key. Although Nurhaci had praised his strategy many times, that's all.

As for Ajige, Dorgon and Dodo, born to the very popular concubine Ulanara, were all little kids, and they had no contributions and were not valued by others.

It is said that Mangguertai was rude and unscheming, and his mother had a low status and was unlikely to be passed on to the throne. But at that time, who knew what Nurhaci thought? It was normal for Mangguertai to try his best to win.

However, judging from the arrangements made in the attack on western Liaoning, we can still see some of Nurhaci's tendencies and biases.

From the perspective of the forces and generals of the two groups, Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang is naturally more difficult to deal with. Sending Huang Taiji to attack and restrain him is exactly what Xin Chong said.

As the army attacks, it is just a general who charges the battle. Commanding and planning is the work of the old slave. There may be military achievements, but they are by no means necessary for inheritance.

Mangourtai didn't see this clearly, and it was okay to say that he was rude, and his mind was indeed relatively simple.

After receiving the general order from his father Khan, Mangurtai ordered the troops to speed up, and smiled at his brother Degele and said, "The last time Guangning was defeated, our army was not good at attacking the toughest. Now there are artillery bombardment in the city and heavy armored warriors, Ningyuan will undoubtedly be defeated."

Compared with Mangourtai, Degele was quite cautious and meticulous, but the war had not started, so it was difficult to say something discouraged. He said tactfully: "As long as you plan properly and attack properly, you will have a great grasp of victory."

Mangourtai smiled and said, "You are still so careful."

After patting the big iron shield on the horse's back, Manguertai said confidently: "This time we attack Ningyuan, let's see if we rush to fight and defeat the enemy, and make great contributions!"

Degele quickly stopped him and said, "Brother, don't take risks. You are the lord of a banner. It's not your duty to fight in the battle."

"Okay, okay." Manguertai waved his hand and said perfunctorily: "I will command the commander behind me and will not lead the way."

Degele knew it was perfunctory and patiently persuaded: "Ming's arms were sharp, and Zhaisanggu accidentally died in Lushun Fort..."

Alas? Mangourtai suddenly pointed his hand and shouted, "It seems like a wild boar. I'll wait for someone to shoot it and bake it to eat it in the evening."

As he said that, Manguertae ran to the field, plucking his bow and arrows, and he was really hunting.

Degele shook his head helplessly, knowing that he was leaving on excuses, he had to order a few personal soldiers to follow and protect him.
