Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth fierce resistance
Huang Taiji's words made the few people who were yelling to attack the city feel unhappy. Manguertai immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
"Father Khan, I think the eighth brother's words are wrong. Now my 60,000 troops gathered at the city of Jinzhou. It is only a matter of time before we take down Jinzhou. As for the 20,000 troops led by the seventh brother, Dalinghe Fort may be invincible, but it is more than enough to block the Ming army's way to reinforce. Why wait until Dalinghe Fort is captured before siegeing the city?"
Du Du also came out to object and said, "Khan, the slave also thought that the Eighth Prince's words were inappropriate. Even the cowardly Han people knew the word "quick battle and quick decision". Could it be that our Jurchen warriors are worse than the Han people?"
Seeing that both Mangourtai and Dudu stood up to oppose it, the generals around him also objected. You should know that the Jurchens do not have the habit of being humble and obedient. In their tradition, they only respect those warriors who can fight and kill. People like Huang Taiji who even have their wives taken away by others naturally do not have the qualifications to respect them, even if he is the son of the Khan.
Looking at the people who opposed him, Huang Taiji did not speak, but the haze inadvertently revealed in his eyes became deeper. He did not speak but bowed deeply to Nurhaci. A strong wind blew, making his body, which had become thinner and thinner.
Nurhaci didn't say anything, looking at his son who was bowing and standing in front of him, then looked at his son and general who showed no dissatisfaction without any concealment.
Seeing this, Nurhaci was a little hesitant. He was already sixty-six this year like an old lion. This old lion was looking for his heir, but he looked around and found that among his large group of sons, he was either greedy, cowardly or too young. The only son he liked was even his wife was taken away a few days ago, so he has now become a laughing stock for everyone.
In Nurhaci's opinion, this was a very dangerous signal. He knew very well that if he did not establish an heir before he died, the Great Jin Kingdom he had created might fall apart due to civil strife after he died.
Looking at the people who were opposing Qiqi, Nurhaci gradually narrowed his eyes and nodded quietly: "Mangguertai, Dudu, since you two think you should attack, then fight. You two lead the troops of our troops to attack the two gates in the north and south respectively. Yuetuo, you lead the Yellow Banner to feint attacks on the east and west gates to support you!"
"Yeah!"
The generals whose names were pointed, shook their sleeves and knelt down on one knee and soon led their troops away. As the desolate horns sounded, teams of auxiliary soldiers began to carry long ladders toward the city wall. Behind these auxiliary soldiers were countless infantry and guards wearing heavy armor. They held up various weapons and pushed shields and rushed towards the city wall.
"Boom...boom..."
The cannons on the city wall opened fire. When Jinzhou City was being built, the Ming Dynasty purchased more than 20 red cannons from the Portuguese and Spaniards entrenched in Macau. Jinzhou, as an important town in Liaodong, also installed eleven artillery pieces. The heaviest cannon even weighs more than 5,000 kilograms, can hold two kilograms of gunpowder, and the range can reach three miles.
