The fortress is most easily broken from the inside, and it may not be very accurate to describe the division of Jiannu. But the centrifugation of the robber group is already a foreseeable thing.

Just like Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng, Luo Jinxiu and others who betrayed the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu would also have strangers who were in the storm.

It is hard to estimate how much effect Nara Zhongming has played, but it is definitely not useless.

If you can eat delicious food and drink spicy food, you will naturally have many followers, which is the so-called wealth and honor; but if you accompany you to jump into the fire pit and accompany you to perish, you will be embarrassed, and there are very few people who share the hardships.

This is true for people's hearts, and seeking profit and avoiding harm is a natural reaction. This is especially true for the interests of family members and even ethnic groups.

In fact, not only the emperor expected this situation. Even Nurhaci knew that the people's hearts were dispersed and the team was not easy to lead.

Therefore, he had to force himself to launch the situation while the people were still in good condition. If he waited until the food was exhausted and the people were in chaos, he would be far inferior to his current state.

If this battle is won, the morale of the people can still be maintained; if this battle is lost, with the current strength of the Ming army, it will definitely take advantage of the victory to attack. It is very difficult whether Liao Chen can save it.

After passing Liaoyang and Anshan, Nurhaci led tens of thousands of troops and drove to Haizhou and approaching Haicheng.

"Meet the Khan." Yuetuo and Jirhalang came to greet him and dismounted and saluted.

Nurhaci nodded and asked in a deep voice: "What's the situation in Haicheng? Did the Ming army still not attack?"

Yue Tuo stood up and replied, "King Hui Khan, the Ming army only strengthened the camps and increased the generals, but never attacked the city."

He frowned in a difficult sense, and Nurhaci asked again: "Where is our camp, is it built?"

"Go back to Khan, time is in a hurry and the camp has not been completed yet." Yue Tuo hurriedly lowered his head, "please punish the Khan."

The construction has not been completed yet, and the part has been built. Nurhaci lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "Is it because of the harassment and destruction of the Ming army?"

"The Ming army will harass and not destroy it in the future." Yue Tuo replied: "But our army still draws out nearly a centaur to guard."

Nurhaci had a bag of horse heads and said in a deep voice: "Let's go and take me to see."

After receiving the Khan's order, Yuetuo and Jirhalang began to build a camp. Based on the information they had, they chose a place five or six miles away from Haicheng.

Intelligence is naturally the range and power of the Ming army's artillery. After Ningyuan was attacked by the red cannon, all the Jiannu troops were notified that the Ming army had artillery with a range of more than two miles. If it was placed on the city, the range would be longer.

Therefore, five miles away from the city is a safe distance, which is the data exchanged for Jiannu, who failed under Ningyuan City.

The Ming army had already built a series of camps outside the city, surrounding Haicheng. Yue Tuo took the Ming army's camp as a reference. The vast land about five miles was suitable for camping and setting up camps.

Nurhaci was a little confused. He didn't know what the Ming army was doing, so why did he not rely on his military advantage to delay or destroy Yue Tuo's establishment of a camp.

When he came to the unbuilt camp, Nurhaci inspected it and did not punish Yue Tuo. The camp was built very firmly, with trenches in front and wooden fences in the back. Not to mention that it was stronger than the city, it was better than the camps built in the past.

Nurhaci sighed secretly, so cautious and so firmly cultivated, it only shows that Yue Tuo and others were already afraid of the Ming army and dared not take the Ming army's attack seriously.

Once upon a time, the Ming army relied on cities and strong camps to resist our Eight Banners Warriors. But now, the feng shui turns, is it the turn of our army to defend?

"Let's go and see the arrangements of the Ming army." Nurhaci ordered the army to rush to build the camp, and pointed a horse whip in his hand and ran south first.

"Father Khan--" Dai Shan's hand stopped in the air, shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand hard at Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo hurriedly brought his men and horses, followed Nurhaci and his personal soldiers, and galloped towards Haicheng.

The outline of Haicheng gradually became clear in sight, but the first one was the Ming army's camps.

Nurhaci rode his horse up to a mountain of earth, climbed up and looked at it, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

The camp is as thick as a chess, and the trenches are wide and deep, winding like a Great Wall, surrounding the Haicheng tightly.

The Ming army was not in a hurry to attack the city because they did not want to set off their morale, but waited for our army to come and fight!

Nurhaci guessed the enemy's intentions and felt that he was almost inseparable.

With sharp firearms and complete fortifications, the defense was the head of the Ming army, which was certain. Obviously, the Ming army put on the stance of "Come and hit me", which made Nurhaci a headache.

How to break the fortifications of the chest wall of the trench was still a difficult problem even during World War II. The bombardment of aircraft and cannons, and the bloody battle between infantry and enemy on the positions seemed to be the only way.

For Jiannu, the fortifications of the Ming army minimized one of their trump cards - bow and arrow shooting.

The Ming army's muskets and cannons were even more powerful and dense. The loss they suffered in the attack was really a bloody loss. Nurhaci is still vivid in his mind and in his heart.

After looking for a long time, the old slave reached out and said in a deep voice: "Let's look closer to see the enemy's virtual and real arrangement."

"King, no!"

"King, it's too dangerous."

"King Khan, you are in charge of the safety of the entire army and you must not take risks easily."

Fei Yanggu, Yue Tuo and others hurried forward to stop him, but the old slave shouted with a serious face, waved everyone away, rode down the Tushan Mountain, and headed straight for the Ming army camp.

In fact, it was said that it was about to observe close, but it was just about two miles away. The old slave also knew that the Ming army's artillery was powerful, and not only did he dare not get too close, but he also did not dare to stay in one place for too long.

It is indeed clear that the Ming army's camp looked like a whole from a distance, but in fact, there is still more than 100 meters of space between the camps.

The same is true for trenches. Several trenches have passages left, and they are interlaced, which is conducive to attacking across trenches and hindering the enemy's direct charge.

The old slave rode his horse back and forth in front of the Ming army camp and saw many tricks.

The more than 100-meter gap between the camps is obviously a fire trap. If the troops enter rashly, they will definitely be attacked by fire from both sides, and there will be heavy casualties.

The trenches, chest walls, and wooden fences in front of the camp are not much different from Ningyuan’s fortifications. In other words, if you want to break through the Ming army camp, there is no other way, you can only invest troops to fight and fight.

The Ming army's camp was not very high and could not cover the city tower of Haicheng further away. The city tower was still the flag of the Later Jin Dynasty, which gave Lao Nu some psychological comfort.

If the attack inside and outside is intertwined, it may be able to break the Ming army's siege, but the cost will be heavy. If the Ming army fails to attack the city and launches another attack, the chances of victory will be a little more.
