"Mr. Liu, I have been working for my grandfather for a while. I would like to ask Mr. Liu to talk about the attack on Jiannu in detail." Zhou Shixiong was anxious to know what happened in the capital. Why did Jiannu attack the capital instead of evacuating it? It was really unreasonable.

"The Marquis of Zhennan wants to hear the officials dare not say anything." Liu Zhilun also heard that he had been out of the city longer than Zhou Shixiong. If it were not for the person who sent the letter to the capital, Liu Zhilun, as the third in command of the Ministry of War, would not have known the details of the cavalry camp.

"Jiannu wants to negotiate peace with me in the Ming Dynasty? I still want to pay tribute every year? It's outrageous!" Liu Zhilun didn't have much control, but he knew the main situation. After all, he was the deputy director of the Ministry of National Defense, and some things were not qualified to know about ordinary officials.

"That's right, it's really infuriating that Jiannu is rampant. Unfortunately, the Beijing camp is weak and unusable, and there is nothing to do if you are bullied by Jiannu! I wish I could go to the battlefield with a steel knife and serve the court with all my passion." Liu Zhilun was much more angry than Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong just analyzed the confidence from Jiannu based on the situation and dared to go against the Ming Dynasty. Liu Zhilun was talking about the ethics of orthodox and the vassal, and the two had some differences in their perspectives.

"Mr. Liu, I have some urgent needs to deal with it, so I say goodbye." Zhou Shixiong repeatedly confirmed that Liu Zhilun knew so much, and quickly stood up to say goodbye. He must enter Beijing as soon as possible. It is one of the first things to know. The second thing is to find a way to protect the cavalry barracks. It is unlucky to confront the main force of Jiannu with the current cavalry barracks.

After leaving Liu Zhilun's camp, Zhou Shixiong called Yu Jiaao and Li Xiaobin to his side, "You two take the guards to Chaoyang Gate to investigate the battle situation. If you have the chance, contact General Man and others and ask them to send someone to see me." Zhou Shixiong was not trying to put on airs, but he really didn't want to go to Chaoyang Gate to die. He said in fear. He sent the guards to inquire about information. Zhou Shixiong ordered Lu Hong to enter a state of alert, and the central army protected him and slowly moved to the right Anmen Square.

Today is the third day of the cavalry camp leaving the city to fight. Sun Zushou's cavalry back army achieved brilliant results. They used long-range weapons such as crossbows and beds to destroy the Mongolian cavalry in leather armor. The cavalry used by the Mongolian cavalry was not as long as the crossbow, and the lethality was not as strong as the crossbow. Except for the better rate of fire, they were almost completely suppressed by the crossbow. After two days of fighting, there were only less than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry left. Although the leaders of the three Mongolian tribes received the verbal promise that Huang Taiji would definitely compensate, they were obviously not as active as the previous two days. Five thousand cavalry cruised near the Ming army camp and refused to enter the range of the Ming army's crossbow.

Jiergalang was helpless when he saw his allies not working hard. The 20,000 soldiers of the vanguard battalion he commanded relied on their strong armor and only lost more than a thousand people in two days, which was much less damage than the allies. The three leaders of the Mongolian tribe were not fools, and they could also see that the loss of the vanguard battalion was because of their good armor protection and wanted to borrow a batch of iron armor equipment from Huang Taiji. Not to mention that Huang Taiji did not have any extra armor, even if there were, they would not lend it to these allies who did not know how to repay things. Therefore, the situation of Mongolian cavalry not working hard.

There was a problem with the offensive side, and the defense was not easy. In the past two days of offensive and defensive battle, half of Sun Zushou's four thousand crossbow archers were lying in the tent and could not move. These were just injured soldiers, and nearly a thousand people would never move. The five thousand guards responsible for repairing fortifications were only more than three thousand left. This was because Jiannu's main attack target was not them, so he could lose so little.

The five thousand cavalrymen in the Beijing camp were almost destroyed, and most of them died at their own hands. During the first day of the offensive and defensive battle, Heiyunlong was ordered to rush the cavalrymen in the Beijing camp to fight and were specifically responsible for blocking the gap. In one day, nearly a thousand cavalrymen in the Beijing camp died. That night, someone stirred the cavalrymen in the Beijing camp to escape, and was blocked by Wu Weiying and Xue Bao who were watching. Man Gui cut all the cavalrymen in the Beijing camp who were trying to escape and showed their heads to the public. He killed nearly three thousand people in one breath.

Killing monkeys to warn chickens is very powerful. In the battle the next day, more than a thousand cavalry left of the Beijing camp became models of the cavalry barracks. When they really got into trouble, they would go there and repel Jiannu's attacks nine times in a row. The left and right armies of the cavalry barracks, which had never been moved on the first day, were dispatched twice in the battle the next day, targeted attacks on the Mongolian cavalry, resulting in more than half of the Mongolian cavalry.

After two days of fighting, both sides had some information on the other side. The cavalry camp once again confirmed that the soldiers of the Jiannu Forward Battalion were equipped with all their weapons and armor, and their combat effectiveness was very strong. The Dajin side confirmed that this Ming army was an army that they had never heard of. In addition to being good at using crossbows, they were strong in morale. Unlike the ordinary Ming army, they would flee in scattered areas if they were defeated. In addition, the cavalry of this Ming army was also good. The only thing that surprised the Dajin side was that the two Ming troops stationed in Chaoyangmen camp did not use firearms, and I don’t know why.

Jirgalang was thinking about the idea of ​​the opaque army, but found a good way to break the enemy. If you don’t use artillery, I will use it. Jirgalang gathered all the artillery that can be found and ordered the artillery team to shoot close to the ground. The purpose was to use artillery to break through the Ming army camp and then use cavalry to attack.

"Sun Aiqing, what should I do?" Emperor Chongzhen watched the battle on the city gate tower. When he saw the Jiannu people dragging their horses and pulling dozens of large and small artillery guns, approaching the camp outside the city under the protection of nearly 10,000 cavalry, and quickly asked Sun Chengzong for advice.

"Use the Red Barbarian Cannon to intercept it." Sun Chengzong had no choice. Even if he was willing to use the Dubiao Camp to leave the city to attack the Jiannu artillery team, it would take at least an hour to open the city gate. The daylily will be cold when the Dubiao Camp comes out of the city.

It is theoretically a good idea to use artillery to intercept artillery. If the hit rate is high enough, the cannons on Chaoyang Gate City once again emitted a deafening roar, and the loud noise is not effective, so it is not efficient. After nearly half an hour of continuous shooting, only five unlucky cannons were hit and lost their combat power. Most of the cannons entered the artillery position to prepare for firing. If you continue to shoot at this hit rate, it will take at least one day to eliminate all the artillery artillery in Jiannu.

Jiannu's first round of artillery fires removed a large part of the Lu Chai outside the camp, dozens of iron eggs of all sizes, smashing the wooden Lu Chai to pieces, and one or two jumping into the camp, causing damage to the Ming army guarding behind the fence.

"Man Jingluo, you cannot let Jiannu's artillery continue to be shot. If you come to the camp a few more times, there will be no danger to defend." Without Gao Qiqian, the generals of the cavalry camp knew what to do. However, from Mangui to Xue Bao, the four main generals of the cavalry camp were hesitant. It is not difficult to deal with artillery, but it is difficult to break through the Jiannu cavalry.

"Master Man, let us go and try it out." Wu Weiying had to ask for a fight. He was the commander of the first cavalry of the cavalry camp, and his former Shenshu Camp was the strongest cavalry of the Beijing camp. He must solve this big problem.

"Brother Wu, let us go to the left army." Xue Bao saw Wu Weiying come forward to ask for the battle, and quickly snatched it out. He didn't have confidence in Wu Weiying, but he just didn't want Brother Wu to go out and take risks. He could see the strength of the Jiannu vanguard camp, and no matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to say that his subordinates were stronger than Jiannu.

"Stop fighting, this time, like Shunyi City, your three battalions will be dispatched together. The vanguard army and the right army are responsible for restraining Jiannu, and Xueying is responsible for breaking the artillery team." Man Gui's re-use of this move was also forced to do so. Unfortunately, the good moves used by the past do not mean that they were effective every time. As soon as the cavalry of the third battalion of the cavalry came out of the camp, Jirhalang immediately sent out 10,000 cavalry in his hand and joined forces with the Mongolian cavalry to surround the cavalry. Wu Weiying immediately issued a banner to retreat when he saw that the situation was not good, and withdrew the camp before the two sides fought.

"Sun Aiqing, why did the cavalry barracks come back as soon as they come out? Don't you dare to fight against Jiannu?" Emperor Chongzhen had never learned the art of observing the dust and measuring the army, so he could only visually estimate the number of soldiers and horses on both sides. In his opinion, the people and horses in the cavalry barracks were not much different from those in Jiannu, and he was very angry when he fled without fighting.

Sun Chengzong had never learned relevant technology, but he had professional subordinates. Through the information provided by his subordinates, Sun Chengzong knew that there were only 10,000 elite cavalry in the cavalry camp, but the Jiannu had as many as 30,000 troops. The Jiannu vanguard camp alone had 20,000 elite cavalry, and he challenged 20,000 elite cavalry head-on with 10,000 cavalry. Not to mention that the cavalry camp did not dare, Sun Chengzong did not dare either.

"Long live, the cavalry camp has no artillery. I guess Lord Man sent cavalry out to destroy the Jiannu artillery formation. It is good to attract Jiannu to the vicinity of the camp now. Not only does the Jiannu artillery formation lose its function, but it can also exert the lethality of the bow and crossbow. It is a very good strategy." Sun Chengzong praised Man Gui with a thick face. He could not tell the truth and stimulate Emperor Chongzhen. This little emperor dared to do anything when he was impulsive. Sun Chengzong's heart could not bear too much stimulation.

Seeing that the Ming cavalry retreated to the camp and retreated the reserve team, Jiergalang was shamelessly sending cavalry again to try to do something, Jiergalang had to send a reserve team again to intercept the Ming army. Although the artillery of the Jin army was very happy, they actually had no place to complain. Their artillery caliber was much smaller than that of the Ming army, and close shooting was equivalent to putting the artillery array within the range of the Ming army's artillery. Although the hit rate of the Ming army's artillery was not high, no one could guarantee that they would be fine. In addition, the Ming army's cavalry kept coming out to deal with them, and as long as they were people, they would be under great pressure.

If modern artillery is operated incorrectly, it will also lead to accidents, not to mention ancient artillery. The Great Jin army artillery team made continuous mistakes under tremendous pressure, resulting in a series of artillery explosions. In fact, the Great Jin army's self-destructed artillery more artillery than the Ming army's artillery cannons were blown up. The cavalry of the escort artillery team's vanished by the explosion, fearing that they would be sieve by artillery fragments like artillery soldiers, and subconsciously hide as far as they could.
