The progress was so smooth that they encountered no resistance at all. They didn't even see a single Ming army. This huge Liaoyang seemed like an empty city at this time.
"Father Khan, this is really weird. The Liaoyang Guardsman is the newly arrived commander-in-chief of Liaoyang. It is said that he is the confidant of the little emperor. Even if he is implicated by those Liao generals, it is impossible for him to be defenseless at all. ah!"
Huang Taiji had already smelled something wrong. This was too weird. They had thought about various situations, but now it was completely beyond their expectation.
The old slave thought for a moment and did not respond to Huang Taiji's question. Now that the matter was at this point, no matter how unusual it was, he was ready to take action.
When the cannon fodder was about to climb onto the Wengcheng, the old slave drew his sword and pointed at the Liaoyang City in front of him and shouted:
"kill!"
The old slave shouted loudly, and the Jiannu armored soldiers behind him who had been preparing for a long time immediately rode out on horseback. Tens of thousands of horses charged at the same time. The momentum was enough to cover up and intimidate any opponent.
From this, we know how much Lao Nu longed for Liaoyang. In order to quickly settle this important event, he even ignored the rules and tactics of siege.
Seeing the Jiannu army rushing over in dense numbers, it was impossible for Li Songping not to be nervous, because he was gambling tonight, and he was gambling with the entire city of Liaoyang.
As for the cannon fodder army of slave builders who climbed up to the barbican city, everyone screamed and cheered. They thought they were going to die today, but they didn't expect that they were intact.
But before they could continue cheering happily, a crackling sound suddenly sounded from the wall behind the barbican, followed closely by endless screams.
Just a few breaths later, there were loud noises from the top of Liaoyang City, followed by a flash of bright fire.
The Hongyi cannon and Shenwei general cannon opened fire, targeting the Jiannu armored soldiers charging on horseback.
Jiannu was too careless. They thought that Liaoyang was just within easy reach, so they all rushed forward without paying attention to formations and queues. They were all crowded together.
But the Ming army's artillery liked this the most, and one shot could kill several Jiannu cavalry.
After learning about the collusion plan between Jiannu and those generals, Li Songping decisively concentrated all Liaoyang's general cannons and Hongyi cannons to the north of the city.
There were hundreds and nearly a thousand artillery pieces of various types in total. Not only the Ming army had never experienced such firepower, but the Jiannu slaves had even heard of it.
Under this kind of firepower, the first wave caused huge casualties to Jiannu. Although it was dark now, Li Songping could still imagine the scene of Jiannu being bombed and his troops flying everywhere.
Hearing the loud noise that resounded for several miles around Liaoyang City, the old slave secretly thought, "It's not good. He still doesn't know that he has fallen into the trap."
But he did not order the army to retreat. As long as he could capture Liaoyang, he would not hesitate to kill thousands of bannermen.
The reason why he was so determined regardless of the cost was because his cannon fodder troops had already climbed into the barbican city.
As long as we gain a foothold in Wengcheng, it can be said that Liaoyang's city defense has been half broken.
"Pass this Khan's military order and continue the attack. Before dawn, I, this Khan, will see my army flag of Dajin hanging on Liaoyang City!"
Upon hearing the order to attack with drums from the rear, Jiannu quickly adjusted his formation and launched another charge towards Liaoyang.
After a round of shelling on the city, the Ming army fired rockets all over the sky to fill the time needed for the cannons to be loaded.
After firing two rounds of bows and arrows, the Ming army's cannons were loaded with gunpowder.
Jiannu was beaten terribly. Because there were too many people, Jiannu couldn't retreat even if he wanted to, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to charge.
The Jiannu army that had already rushed to the Wengcheng was not feeling well either. They were being warmly greeted by the Ming army's kidnapper blunderbuss, Liuguang Shenji arrows and other firearms.
They didn't even touch the clothes of the Ming army, but they had already left corpses all over the ground around the barbican.
They rushed forward with weapons in hand, wanting to cut off the heads of the Ming army to vent their anger, but the Ming army did not give them a chance and continued to use the advantages of firearms to carry out long-range strikes.
The Ming army had already calculated the safe distance between the two sides and the attack distance from all angles. As long as Jiannu climbed up to the urn city, he was basically dead.
At the passage connecting the urn city and the city wall, the Ming army erected three layers of shield walls and placed two Streaming Divine Machine Arrows to block Jiannu's attack direction.
The cannon fodder army of Jiannu soon died, and not much was left. The armored soldiers took over and became the main force in the siege. The sudden change caught the Ming army by surprise. After all, in comparison, the combat effectiveness of cannon fodder and armored soldiers was completely different. Grade.
Their offensive was extremely ferocious and was completely life-threatening. If the Zuo Wei army had not had excellent military quality and coordinated well, they might not have been able to defend Liaoyang City.
After fighting fiercely for more than half an hour, Jian Nu finally failed to advance even an inch. Li Songping glanced from the top of the city and saw that the outside of the city was full of Jian Nu's corpses, including many armored soldiers.
However, Jiannu only took a short rest and launched another attack from all directions. The Ming army responded with extremely powerful artillery.
At dawn, Jiannu's ferocious offensive was once again defused by the Ming army due to lack of successors. Jiannu's defeated soldiers had to run away in despair with their horses' buttocks between their legs.
The old slave held the handle of the knife tightly, his eyes full of unwillingness, and his facial expression was almost distorted by this.
Tens of thousands of troops attacked overnight and attacked twice in succession. Regardless of the captured old and weak Mongolians and the young and strong Koreans, he lost more than 3,000 flag soldiers in this attack on Liaoyang City, but Liaoyang City was not shaken. At the slightest bit, the old slave's heart was bleeding.
"Bring that bitch Li Yongfang to Ben Khan!"
After the guards escorted Li Yongfang over, the old slave waved to him with the riding crop in his hand without saying a word, but Li Yongfang did not scream.
He also knew in his heart that if the siege failed, he would be the first person Lao Nu punished. Not only because he was the person in charge of the liaison, but it also had a lot to do with his identity as a Han.
The old slave took ten lashes in succession and stopped when he felt his chest was relieved.
Huang Taiji took a sneak look and saw Nuer Hachi staring at Liaoyang City in front of him with slightly squinted eyes. He immediately shouted sharply at Li Yongfang:
"Bitch, didn't you say you've already contacted those Liao generals? Why haven't you seen them after so long?"
"Why did the Ming army already lay in ambush and prepare to ambush me, Dajin?"
"We have been fighting for so long tonight, but there is no chaos in the city at all. The Liao army did not rebel against the Ge Ming army as you said, so many things are inconsistent with what you said!"
