As for Wang Yan's more than 20 cannons, they are just fine for attacking and defending the city. It is really bad to use them for field battles. After all, he only has more than 20 cannons in total, and the range is far from several kilometers. The main reason is that

It has the effect of destroying the enemy's battle formation. If you want to fully attack and level the mountain, it's still early.

After three rounds of artillery collapsed, the battle formation on the hilltop had long since dispersed. Not only was there more than 10,000 people in a mess, but it would take some time to reorganize the battle formation and organize a counterattack.

In just a short time, it was only one mile, enough for Wang Yan to lead his men to kill...

After the battle was over, it was almost night. Wang Yan ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, the wounded to be treated, and pots to be made to make rice. He wanted to scare them for a while, and it would not be too late to go back tomorrow.

Without bragging, given the current situation, it would not be difficult for the 10,000-strong Golden Cavalry to attack the Ming Dynasty's 56,780,000-strong army. To a certain extent, it is true that ten thousand soldiers are invincible.

After all, we have to build a technology tree to make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. If Wang Yan were to train his troops seriously and rely solely on hard-power cavalry to compete with Huang Taiji, he wouldn't be able to even think about it for four to five years.

He was able to bring hundreds or even thousands of soldiers and horses freely back and forth, mainly because of General Wang's guerrilla skills. If it were a head-on confrontation, he wouldn't be able to defeat them.

Up to now, the battle at Yanli Mountain could be considered a head-to-head encounter, but he also used explosive packs, and in the end, after a wave of hedging, he was killed, injured and nearly 2,000 people were lost...

Wang Yan ate military rations of dried meat on the hillside with the newly boiled Liaohe River water.

After a while, Wang Ming, Zhang Zonglong and other senior officers came over: "Sir."

"Well, tell me."

"In this battle, our cavalry suffered 1,500 casualties and the infantry suffered nearly 3,000 casualties. However, most of the casualties in the infantry were from reserve troops."

"What was the result?"

Wang Ming grinned and said first: "Sir, we killed more than 15,000 slaves in this battle. The remaining 5,000 people ran away, and there were more than 7,000 heads with intact heads. We captured the war horses.

More than three thousand horses, other bows, crossbows, arrows, and armor are countless."

Wang Yan nodded and said: "Let's arrange it. After treatment, the seriously injured people will be escorted back to Jinzhou by other injured and incompetent personnel. Don't forget the bones of the brothers and send them back together. Also, don't forget to ask Sun Fugui to make arrangements.

People go to the capital to deliver documents reporting victory."

"Yes, sir."

"Everyone, go and have a rest. Tomorrow we will go to Jiannu's lair..."

Seeing a group of his men walking away, Wang Yan thought that the news would soon spread.

It is impossible for other people's subordinates in Jinzhou City not to know about such a big movement, and it is also impossible not to pass the news back. Including that this time he did not say a word, and sent out the entire army without saying hello. Man Gui's

Bian will also have ideas. When he receives the news, he will report it to the boss as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he loses, Mangui will not be able to carry the blame.

Wang Yan was confident at the beginning that he could ensure that he would not collapse, but after today's serious battle, his confidence was so damn high. He was bound to win this battle, Huang Taiji was a master.

Needless to say, if he loses the battle, all the soldiers in his hand will be defeated, and no one will protect him, which means he will die.

And if he wins, all the civil and military ministers in Liaodong and even the court, as well as Zhu Youjian, one by one, must act honestly.

The current situation is special, so it is not a big problem for him to provoke Zhu Youjian like this. Zhu Youjian just clarified the situation of the Ming Dynasty. The civil servants are also busy with their own ideas to promote themselves and grab positions to make money. The treasury is empty and the capital camp has long been abolished.

, what to deal with him?

Mobilize soldiers and horses from Liaodong to suppress it? Do they dare to make trouble? Everyone knows that Wang Yan must have some arrangements, so who knows who belongs to whom? If we don’t say these things, Wang Yan has the power to do it himself. Then if Wang Yan gets mad, directly

What should I do if I let Hou Jin go there, or even help Hou Jin fight together?

It's not like these people have never fought against Hou Jin. Wang Yan can beat Huang Taiji violently, but will they be able to do it? No one is stupid enough to think that he can do it and I can do it. No matter whether it's civil or military, this kind of two-match will never reach a high position.

So after this battle, it was really a matter of letting him fly. At best, he would just make some small moves, restricting supplies and so on. But that would be too high a view of the majesty of the imperial court, and too low a view of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they have money,

, what kind of thing do they dare not sell?

It was already late at night when Huang Taiji received the news of his defeat. The old bastard was dreaming about bombarding the capital with his arms around his wife. However, when he was awakened by his subordinates and heard the news, Huang Taiji was stunned for a long time...

After reacting, Huang Taiji ordered one after another that Shengjing and Liaoyang should guard the city tightly and not go out of the city to fight. As for Guangning, which is further away, it is too far away for four hundred miles and the news cannot be transmitted, and there is no telling what will happen halfway.

Well, I can only hope that they can withstand it.

To be honest, when he gave this order, Huang Taiji felt very frustrated and humiliated. When did they get so messed up that the fucking Ming Dynasty beat them to the point of being unable to retreat? I'm so damn sorry for my ancestors...

There are still more than 100,000 slave soldiers and horses, but that includes the recovered Mongolian miscellaneous troops and the retrained Han people. The real bannermen soldiers have 100,000 to die.

In the winter, Wang Yan attacked all the neighboring tribes that had surrendered to Huang Taiji, and he killed all those who refused. So except for a few tribes that moved to the northeast, most of the others were gone. This time Huang Taiji sent

Most of the troops are bannermen soldiers, the real elite, with only a small number of Mongolians mixed in.

The Hou Jin Dynasty occupied most of the Northeast, and hundreds of thousands of Han people needed to be suppressed. If Huang Taiji sent out troops again, and if they were defeated again, it would be all over. But today's battle was fought so quickly and lost so suddenly, and Wang Yan's offensive continued again.

It was so fierce that it was normal for Huang Taiji not to send troops again. This was because he did not dare to gamble with Hou Jin's life because he could not afford to lose.

Of course, Huang Taiji could also see that Wang Yan had no intention of taking action. After all, he really wanted to attack Shengjing and try to destroy them in one battle. What would 20,000 people do? Just survive this period.

The next day, March 20th.

After having an early meal, as the sun was rising, Wang Yan took the remaining less than 20,000 people out of camp and headed north, aiming for Shengjing.

There is no one along the way. After all, there are people who can't stop Wang Yan's attack. It's better to withdraw the people and save the remaining strength. In the past, the Ming Dynasty has always used strong walls to clear the country, but now it is used by Huang Taiji, with only 20,000 people... I have to say

This was Wang Yan's loud slap on Daming's face.

Unhurriedly, the rangers in front were screaming and chasing the scout cavalry released by Huang Taiji. Wang Yan led his troops to camp three miles south of Shengjing City in the afternoon and evening...

The serious ones are five miles or ten miles, to widen the strategic buffer distance to avoid night attacks, sieges, etc. Is General Wang afraid of that? He has received news from the rear along the way. There are two groups of people on the flanks, don't look at the people.

Young Master fired artillery while moving around to harass Guangning, and the Haizhou garrison did not dare to come out at all.

Moreover, they were not far from Jinzhou, so they replenished ammunition and supplies in a timely manner, and they were not afraid of waste. They would fire cannons to collapse the city walls and gates if nothing happened, and they would shoot high-altitude missiles into the city before the city walls and gates collapsed...

When they arrived at the place, the large troops rested, and the artillerymen and their guards went up to set up artillery despite the rain of arrows and guns.

Huang Taiji hired craftsmen to develop the Hongyi cannon, and even after such a long time, he had some achievements. But the cannon he produced was not much different from the level of Ningyuan Yilidi at that time, and he hit it with one cannon

They can't reach anyone, and they don't even have many cannons.

Wang Yan looked at the opposite city wall with a telescope. He wanted to look for it to see what Huang Taiji looked like. But after looking for a long time, he didn't see any players who looked like Huang Taiji. After all, Huang Taiji was everywhere, so he had to have a lot of guards around him.

, there really was no one like him on the city wall. Maybe he knew the power of his guns, and Huang Taiji was so frightened that he didn't dare to come up to supervise the battle. After all, guns have no eyes, so how could he be taken away with one shot?

After the cannon was set up and the angle was adjusted, the orderly waved a flag and more than twenty cannons were fired in an instant. The pointed cannonballs flew over a distance of 800 meters in just a moment and hit several watchtowers on the south city wall.

Then it exploded instantly...

After three rounds of shelling, the watchtowers on the city wall and Huang Taiji's beloved Hongyi cannon were all destroyed.

Seeing such a powerful destructive power, the heaven and earth fell silent for an instant, and everything was silent. The Houjin soldiers on the city wall even forgot to shoot arrows, and stared blankly at the broken and collapsed watchtowers, and the twenty people lined up in a row below.

Multiple cannons.

Yesterday I heard that Mingou had powerful guns and artillery, but I never expected it to be such a powerful weapon. Just now, I just watched helplessly, and there was no one alive in the watchtower. They had been shooting arrows for a long time, and one

No one was killed, but nearly a hundred people were killed by three rounds of shelling. Their mortal bodies were so powerful that even the city gate couldn't withstand a few cannons. What did they use to fight? How to fight? Isn't that the same as losing their fucking lives?

.

Wang Yan's men didn't care. They looked at the dumbfounded Jiannu slaves in the distance and laughed. Even a group of horses just snorted and scratched the ground with their hooves, seemingly following the joke.

These horses were all destroyed by cannons. Otherwise, when the cannons were fired, the other side would not be able to do anything, but they would be thrown into disarray. Not to mention making people laugh, the cavalry has no combat effectiveness. That is not to be slaughtered by others.

He also ordered people to crash into the city three times. Wang Yan ordered them to rest and crash again tomorrow.

At the same time, a man dressed as a soldier on the city wall was so strong that he slowly climbed down the city wall without anyone helping him.

Since Huang Taiji knew how to use the artillery, he would never be stupid enough to stand on the city wall and show off, so why not look for Beng? So he cleverly pretended to be a soldier and watched the situation on the field.

He had tried his best to overestimate the power of the artillery on the opposite side, but he didn't expect it to be so strong. At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he felt somewhat helpless. There were only more than 20 cannons. If he got hundreds of them, he would

Isn't this Shengjing City going to be completely defeated? How the hell is this going to happen?

Huang Taiji silently thought that he might really be sorry for his ancestors...

Wang Yan and his men arrogantly buried a pot under the city to make rice. He specially set up a pot to cook the dried meat for a while. It was food for nearly 20,000 people. The smell... the only thing not beautiful is that this place is located in the northeast, and the north wind blows.

, the fragrance has been blown to the south, that is, only occasionally when the wind stops, can a little bit of it drift over.

But these are enough, and they are enough to satisfy the people on the other side. In previous years, when they went south to plunder, they would eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine. But this year it won't work. Hou Jin was beaten by Wang Yan and was in short supply of supplies, so there was no such good thing.

So this winter, the harsh treatment given to these big-headed soldiers was so harsh that I couldn't stand the smell of meat.

Wang Yan is also idle, stimulating Huang Taiji. Besides, eating meat for 20,000 people is also a kind of strength. Even if he didn't harass the rear before, Hou Jin couldn't do it for all the soldiers. But now Wang Yan

If you do this, even the most rubbish military households will be able to eat it every once in a while.

But it only supplies 20,000 people. The cost would be too high for him to bear. As it is now, the price of pigs in the northern region has soared. Regardless of the price issue, the supply will be too high.

I can't keep up. Due to his influence, people in the northern region will probably raise pigs this year, but they can only raise a few pigs this year, and they will have trouble next year.

The drought caused thousands of miles of red land, people are eating each other, and peasant uprisings destroy social order and disrupt life and production. Where the hell is there anything left to raise pigs? Let alone pigs, the land is so good that no one is planting it. After all, what you plant is what you reap.

It's not much, and you have to pay taxes and be robbed, so why plant it? You can directly rebel, rob, kill officials, and make a fortune. It will save trouble...

Therefore, Wang Yan will collect some piglets this year to cultivate breeding pigs, and then he will breed them on a large scale. He didn't do it before because he was short of time, energy and manpower. This convinced Huang Taiji, and he was able to do it for a long time.

Only when there will be no more major wars can we develop pig farming with peace of mind. We also need to raise cattle and sheep in Mongolia.

The next day, the twenty-first.

He rested under the city for a night with loud noises, had a meal, and organized the manpower to start bombarding Shengjing City...

At the same time, the Forbidden City.

After four days of traveling eight hundred miles, the news of Wang Yan's private dispatch of troops was placed on Zhu Youjian's desk.
To be continued...
