Although Wei Zheng's words meant to use himself and let himself dig out the corners of the court. This light novel was based on the story, but Sun Chengzong did not express any dissatisfaction...

As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Sun Chengzong said with a look of urgency.

"Master General, I have served as the governor of Liaodong before. As long as nothing unexpected happens, many of the generals in these border troops have been promoted by me... So, I am confident that I can leave most of the general orders among them and let them use them for my own use."

"As for those ordinary soldiers, everyone doesn't have to worry about it. A few years ago, when the imperial court was rich, the monthly salary of the border soldiers could not even get two taels or five cents, not to mention now..."

"In this case, I can say with certainty that as long as we pay the local garrison troops to them, these border soldiers from Liao people will choose to work hard without hesitation..."

On the Liaodong Peninsula where gunpowder is full of smoke.

Under the unstoppable attack of the Later Jin Tartars, several counties that protected Liaoyang were surrounded by 40,000 Later Jin infantry and cavalry.

Not only that, hundreds of cannons with Huang Tai Chi were seized on the battlefield, and they were lined up in more than 100 steps outside the city, continuously heading towards the Liaodong Peninsula. They were still occupied by the Ming army, the largest and most protective city.

At this moment, just seeing corpses everywhere outside Liaoyang City and red blood donations everywhere on the city walls... you know that the Liaoyang City in front of you is in an unprecedented tragic battle...

That's right, the entire offensive and defensive battle was indeed very difficult.

It has only been five days since the Tartars began to siege the city. However, it was these five days of fighting and fighting that caused the Liaoyang defenders, which had 30,000 border soldiers, to directly lose 5,000 people.

Of course, the Later Jin army that attacked Liaoyang City did not get any benefits in this battle.

The 20,000 Tartar infantry directly lost 7,000 people, and the 20,000 elite cavalry also lost about 2,000 people.

Faced with this battle where both sides lost and took care of themselves. Whether it was the Liaoyang defenders or the Later Jin Tartars outside the city, they were all insisting on...

Because both sides knew that when the Tartars had cannons and the defenders also had cannon equipment, there was no tactics or tactics at all in the offensive and defensive battle in front of them.

What both the enemy and us can do is to constantly fill the scene with lives. Whoever can truly persevere to the end will be able to withstand the increasingly heavy casualties of the troops. The victory of the entire battle will belong to whom...

With the arrival of the new day, the battlefield that had been calm all night was once again shrouded in the roaring sound of cannons.

Solid shells mixed with sharp whistling sounds flew back and forth over the battlefield.

However, what made both the enemy and us breathe a sigh of relief was that neither the enemy and us had any flower bullets. The solid shells that were back and forth seemed powerful and very scary. In fact, they did not have much lethality.

With good luck, the whistling flower bullet has not yet set off a bloody path in the opponent's military formation and killed several enemies.

The solid shell with bad luck just fell into the soft soil and disappeared.

Although everyone knows that artillery bombardment has no effect, in order to improve the morale of the soldiers under his command, the roaring cannon sound continued for less than half an hour before it ended.

Looking out of the city covered with various corpses, there were densely packed Tartar infantry and cavalry. Some held longbows, some held muskets, some held cold weapons for siege in one hand and ladders for the other. Of course, there were also a row of Tartar infantry, pushing directly siege cars used to block bullets, blocking in front of the densely packed Tartars, and pressing towards the city walls...

On the city wall, the Liaodong ruling Hong Chengchou, wearing armor, held a sword in his hand and looked at the outside of the city with a serious face. He was getting closer and closer to him, without saying a word.

As for the tens of thousands of soldiers standing next to Hong Chengchou, they also held the weapons in their hands tightly and prepared for the battle at this critical moment of life and death.

At this moment, the Liaoyang General standing beside him faced the densely packed Tartar attacking troops outside the city, a trace of undetectable chill flashed across his serious face.

When he saw the expression on Hong Chengchou's face beside him, there was no change in the slightest change because of the increase in the Tartars' troops. The Liaoyang Yongbing, who had already felt a little chill, opened his mouth and reminded him because of fear: "Sir, the Tartars have begun to attack..."

"This time, the Tartars dispatched tens of thousands of infantry, and there were five thousand iron cavalry to supervise the battle in the rear, and used their good cavalry to shoot us continuously..."

"The last thing we are worried that under the unprecedented attack of the Tartars, we will not be able to defend..."

Hong Chengchou frowned and replied without thinking: "If you can't defend, you must defend... As long as we lose Liaoyang, the entire Liaodong Peninsula will not be able to block the terrain and county town of the Later Jin Iron Cavalry..."

"In this case, the entire Liaodong Peninsula will easily fall into the hands of the Tatars. Therefore, for the Liaodong Peninsula, we must defend Liaoyang City..."

"I am the general and the generals of the war will be ready to fight immediately... Tell the soldiers that if they want to survive, they can only defend Liaoyang and block the offensive of the strong Tartars..."

As he spoke, the sound of musket shooting sounded on the city wall beside him.

However, most of the dense lead bullets whistling out of the city walls hit the siege cars blocking the Tartars, and there were those who passed through the siege cars and shot into the Tartars' bodies.

After one round of lead bullets, the second row of musketeers followed and shot out the second round of lead bullets. The Tartar musketeers who were following the siege car were not idle either.

Raise the musket, light the fuse, aim it at the head of the city, and pull the trigger.

After the sound of a bean-like gunfire sounded, dense lead bullets mixed with whistling sounds also flew towards the top of the city.

However, under the cover of the city wall, most of these lead bullets hit the city wall...

Just when the musketeers on both sides were desperately shooting, trying to suppress the opponent's firepower.

Under the cover of several musketeers, seven or eight thousand Tartar infantry continued to push the siege cart, carry the ladder, hold the big sword in his hand, and yelled at the top of the city.

Not only that, the Tartar archers scattered among the attacking troops also rushed to the top of the city.

Just when the defenders at the top of the city had given up the counterattack weapon such as bows and arrows, they began to suffer casualties. The densely packed Tartar siege team finally rushed to the foot of the city wall and rushed into the killing range of the defenders in the city wall.

Seeing the Tartars so close, Hong Chengchou, who was protected by a group of guards, suddenly pulled out the sword he hung on his waist. The blade stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Brothers, victory and defeat are here... In order to survive, immediately throw stones and roll wood, pour turbid oil outside the city, and fight to the end..." (To be continued)
