What Li Laoer has to do now is to anger Huang Taiji and let the Later Jin army attack his castle. As long as he does this, he will win.

This Western-style castle turns the originally convex polygonal city into a concave polygonal city. Only by defending can the attacking party with cross firepower, resulting in heavy losses on the siege party and can only return in vain. The Jin army, which aims to invade harass and robbery, does not carry any heavy firearms at all. It is only a dream to conquer such a castle.

In real history, in the Battle of Yaxa, the Qing army attacked the Yaxa Castle with more than 15,000 troops with more than 800 Russian troops. The Qing army with a large number of artillery was still unable to conquer the castle and ultimately could only rely on siege to win.

The Later Jin army won many battles and was a victorious army. Li Laoer hoped to defeat their spirit through the city defense, so he could only anger Huang Taiji and let the Later Jin army run bloody under the castle. Moreover, his army was still a mob. Such mobs needed victory after victory to inspire morale, and through fierce battles, the mobs were tempered into veterans of hundreds of battles.

After scolding Sun Degong, the defenders in the city halted Fan Ming's head.

Under the protection of several sword players and big shields, Fan Yongdou walked a hundred steps away from the castle and raised his head. Several Later Jinhan military flag sword players shouted: "Help the barbarians in the city, the young master Fan has arrived. What tricks do you barbarians want to do?"

Li Lao Er laughed and made people reply: "Fan Shaodong Family! Since you are here, we can't let you return empty-handed! The head hanging on this castle is your father's head! Let me tell you, not only your father, but your eight great masters of Shanxi merchants were attacked by the Chahars at the west entrance, and they were wiped out! All the food and iron tools you want to give to the Tumote people were taken away by the Chahars! How about Fan Shaodong Family? Is this gift enough? Hahaha! Let me tell you the truth, why the Chahars attacked the Shanxi merchants' caravans because of the news I went to inform you!"

"Leave the head down the city and give it to Fan Yongdou!" Li Laoer ordered. Anyway, it is useless to keep Fan Ming's head. The head of the Jin soldiers can be kept for rewards. Fan Ming still colluded with many officials in the officialdom. Taking this head down to the Ming Dynasty would not get any reward at all, but would become a crime of indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

Han Dashan, who was the most powerful, grabbed Fan Ming's hair from his head and threw it hard under the city. His head flew more than forty steps away, fell on the grass under the city and rolled a few times.

Fan Yongdou wanted to run up to pick up his head, but was stopped by two sword players: "Young Master Fan, don't take a chance! Be careful of the fraud of the barbarians on the city wall!"

Seeing that Fan Yongdou who wanted to run out was stopped by the Jin soldiers, Li Laoer was a little disappointed: "This dog is lucky! If he rushed over and picked up his father's head, I promised to smash Fan Yongdou's head with a gun!"

The two flag masters turned their heads and said to Baoyi Aha: "Go up and take back the head of the Fan family shopkeeper! See if he is the Fan family shopkeeper!"

Two Baoyi Ahas held large shields and moved forward carefully step by step. The defenders at the city did not fire. Two Baoyi Ahas walked to the grass about fifty steps away from the city, bent down to pick up Fan Ming's head. After picking up the heads, the two of them quickly turned around and ran away quickly.

Within fifty steps, the heavy muskets and seven-pin cannons on the city can kill these two Baoyi Aha at the city, but Li Laoer did not order the fire. It is not worth wasting ammunition and cannon stones to eliminate the two Baoyi Aha. Moreover, they did not take Fan Ming's head back to identify Fan Yongdou. How could Fan Yongdou believe that he had destroyed his caravan? Fan Yongdou didn't believe it, so how could he anger Huang Taiji?

Baoyi Aha picked up the head, ran to Fan Yongdou, and presented the head with both hands.

"Dad!" Seeing that it was indeed his father's head, Fan Yongdou snatched Fan Ming's head, hugged him in his arms and cried loudly, "Dad, you're dead so miserable! Li Lao Er! I'm irreconcilable with you!"

"Fan Yong's dog fighter jian!" Li Lao Er cursed on the top of the city, "One day I will kill all your family!"

Several flag cows held high a large wooden shield, carefully protected Fan Yongdou, and slowly retreated to the direction of the Central Army of the Later Jin army.

As soon as Fan Yongdou saw Huang Taiji, he knelt at Huang Taiji's feet, hugged Huang Taiji's boots and cried loudly: "Shank you! The hatred of killing your father is irreconcilable! The dog thief in the city not only killed the villain's father, but also informed the Chahar people of caravans and asked the Chahar people to reunite the caravans of the eight major merchants in Zhangjiakou!"

I heard that the caravans of the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi merchants were destroyed, and then I thought of attacking Fan Yongdou, building a castle, and destroying the caravan. The guy in the castle in front clearly had a plan against him every step! No matter how good Huang Taiji had a good temper, he got angry: "Damn barbarian! How dare he destroy my Dajin caravan! He went against my Dajin everywhere! It was really hateful!"

Haoge said: "Ama, order Baoyi to build a ladder, and the son-in-law personally leads people to attack this city!"

Although Huang Taiji was extremely angry, he was not blinded by anger: "Don't act rashly! I, the heroes of the Eight Banners, are all precious warriors, and they should not be damaged at will! Let the Han Army Banner and Baoyi Aha go and test it first!"

"Zhe!" Haoge retreated after a long fight.

Huang Taiji turned around and ordered Sun Degong and Li Yongfang: "Take your Han army flag and supervise Baoyi Aha to build a siege ladder, and use the newly surrendered Jin Youguang, Fan Minliang and Jiang Jinqiao's troops as vanguards to test the attack on the city ahead."

"Zhe!" Sun Degong and Li Yongfang retreated.

Sun Degong and Li Yongfang immediately took the two flags of Han army flags and escorted Baoyi Aha to cut down wood in the surrounding mountains to build a siege ladder. The two estimated that the shortest walls of the castle in front were three zhang high, so they ordered a batch of siege ladders with more than three zhang high, with hooks at the top of the ladder that could hook the city wall. In addition, a batch of siege bridges were built, which were prepared to be laid on the trenches for the siege troops to cross the bridge.

After a morning of preparation, Baoyi Aha built more than 200 simple cloud ladders and more than 100 trench bridges.

Sun Degong called out the newly surrendered Ming general Jin Youguang: "Jin guerrillas, the Khan has orders to lead your troops to attack the city immediately!"

"Zhe!" Jin Youguang retreated.

The first step of the attack of the Later Jin army began. More than 200 surrendered soldiers in tattered mandarin duck battle jackets were walking in the front, holding wooden shields, and followed by more than 200 Baoyi Aha in tattered cotton coats, carrying cloud ladders and trench bridges, and behind them were more than 200 Han army flag flags, holding shields and short axes, following behind Baoyi Aha; finally, there were one hundred heavy armored soldiers of Zhengbai Banners. These heavy armored soldiers were all wearing double armor, and the fifty people in front were holding large shields, which were actually large iron shields! The large shield was four feet high and two feet wide, and the one-inch thick wooden board was covered with iron plates. The heavy armored soldiers slowly advanced with a large shield weighing 100 kilograms. The fifty people behind were strong archers of Zhengbai Banners, followed closely behind the shield hands.
