Emperor Tianqi, who was thousands of miles away, was originally very happy after receiving the battle report from Wei Qing that he had captured Shenyang, but then a piece of information about the Tatar coalition from Wei Qing directly poured into Emperor Tianqi's heart. Bucket of cold water.
"Come here, bring me Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards."
"Your Majesty, why did Jin Yiwei offend you and make you so angry?" Wei Zhongxian asked kindly.
"Big companion, you can see for yourself. The 300,000 Tatar coalition forces have gathered in Liaodong, intending to attack the Polu army from both inside and outside. There is no news about such a big thing from the Jin Yiwei. What use do I need with the Jin Yiwei?"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. The Polu army is powerful. With the help of Shenyang's city wall, they may not be able to defend it. There are more than 300,000 Tatars, but they also have a lot to eat. Shenyang is a bitter cold place, and the Tatars have no way to go around for supplies. , just order the Guan Ning Army to strengthen its defense and not give the Tatars an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Once the Tatars' food and grass are exhausted, the Tatars will definitely choose to withdraw. "
"Just do what Daban said. But it won't work if the Jinyiwei doesn't beat them. Let Luo Sigong personally lead the team to find out where the Tatars' food comes from," Emperor Tianqi said helplessly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Go down, I'm a little tired and want to rest." Emperor Tianqi said.
After Wei Zhongxian left, Emperor Tianqi gritted his teeth and said, "I want you to look good when the Polu army comes back."
After Wei Zhongxian went down, he directly gave an order to Guan Ning's army to strengthen their vigilance against the Tatars.
Although Wei Zhongxian is greedy, he knows in his heart that everything he has now is because of Ming Dynasty. Once something goes wrong with Ming Dynasty, everything he has will cease to exist.
I don’t dare to underestimate the Tatar Wei Zhongxian.
In fact, there was no need for the Ming court to remind Guan Ning's army that they had already prepared for defense. In order to harvest food, the surrounding people went into the city to take shelter. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Being able to operate so efficiently is also possible thanks to Hou Jin's long-term development, so that the people around him have long been used to it. Otherwise, if it is placed in a long-term and stable place in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that the enemy may not be able to gather everyone even if they come to the city.
Under the orders of Lin Dan Khan, nearly 50,000 Tatars outside the city had been preparing for war. However, when dawn came, Lin Dan was relieved that the Polu army still did not attack.
May 30, 6th year of Tianqi
After breakfast, Lin Dan directly ordered the attack.
The Tatars had a large number of people, so they directly adopted a four-sided attack, intending to capture Shengjing in one fell swoop and eliminate the Polu army. Shenyang City has four walls, each facing an attack of 50,000 troops.
As for the Polu Army, although all the troops were mounted, there were only 1,500 level 9 cavalry and 2,000 level 1 archers per city wall. The difference in strength is not small.
All officials of the Tatar coalition believed that Shengjing City would be defeated in one battle, but it was obvious that the Tatars underestimated the strength of the Polu army.
Level 9 Polu Army cavalry can hit targets accurately from 90m away. After equipped with the 10th Captain Token, they can shoot anywhere within 100 meters.
If it were a decisive battle on the early grassland, the Polu Army cavalry could only shoot three times at most at a distance of 100 meters. But now the opponent was attacking the city, and the Polu Army was condescending, plus the defense facilities had been prepared in advance. Polu troops can maximize their shooting advantages.
Some people died, but not completely...
