Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
After hearing Xiong Tingbi's words, Li Guangrong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Marshal. I know my limits."
Seeing Li Guangrong agreeing immediately, Xiong Tingbi could only nod.
At this point, there is nothing I can do even if I am worried.
In fact, Xiong Tingbi was really worried in his heart. After all, these people in the city had been holding it in for too long, and Li Guangrong was a typical example.
Once we win, I'm afraid these people will have no worries about hunting down Wild Boar Skin.
However, Xiong Tingbi knew that among his men in Shenyang City there were only 15,000 cavalrymen, and the rest were infantrymen. The probability of winning the battle if they went out of the city was not high.
It's not that the Ming army's equipment is not sophisticated, but their fighting spirit is not that strong. If they really fight hard, the possibility of being defeated in the end is very high.
Xiong Tingbi couldn't possibly go gambling.
If he lost the bet, he couldn't afford to lose. Although the situation in Liaodong has changed and the court has given a lot of money, many views are still deeply rooted.
People here are more interested in living, and having money is the most important thing.
If the court offers rewards, they will fight for them, and they will have no problem fighting a favorable battle. But if they get caught in a fierce battle, they will want to survive and will choose to escape. At that time, a great defeat will occur.
To put it bluntly, the soldiers here are not tolerant of hardship. Xiong Tingbi can only change this little by little, there is no better way.
When Li Guangrong came down from the tower, Xiong Tingbi said to Li Yan, "Get ready to fire."
Li Yan nodded and said seriously, "Yes, Marshal."
For Li Yan, this was the most tense time since he arrived in Liaodong, and he also understood the importance of this shot.
If this shot can be fired accurately and steadily, then the battle of Shenyang City can be won, and even unexpected results can be achieved.
If this shot hadn't hit the target, the result might have been different.
Li Yan swallowed his saliva and raised his thumb again, then slightly adjusted the muzzle of the gun and turned to Xiong Tingbi and said, "Marshal, I'm ready."
At this time, Xiong Tingbi was very nervous, because he knew that this was his only chance.
This was the first time that artillery with such a range was installed in Liaodong, and even in the entire Ming Dynasty. If they missed this time, the Wild Boar Skins would retreat further next time, and there would be no chance to attack again.
Nurhaci, standing on the hillside, had a very ugly expression on his face, almost dark.
The artillery was destroyed so easily?
Nurhaci didn't understand how the Ming army turned their guns around and bombarded his own artillery so quickly. He had originally wanted to use these artillery to bombard the Ming Dynasty's city walls, but who would have thought that they would be blown up so quickly.
Looking at the soldiers who were retreating in front, Nurhaci knew that this time he would probably fail again.
Glancing at Amin beside him, Nurhaci ordered: "Be prepared. If the Ming army chases out, be ready to kill them at any time. Tell the people in ambush around to be ready to encircle and annihilate the Ming army at any time.
Amin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Father Khan, we are already prepared."
Although the siege was serious this time, Nurhaci was also prepared for the siege to fail, and wanted to take advantage of the defeat to let the Ming army leave the city. As long as they left the city, he would be able to surround and annihilate them.
This was a siege, but also a lure to lure the enemy.
"The city gate is open." Amin suddenly said excitedly.
He knew what his father was going to do, and he also knew that this was the best opportunity. Now that he saw the gates of Shenyang City open, one could imagine how excited he was.
After seeing this scene, Nurhaci's heart was also excited.
He finally lured Xiong Tingbi out!
This coward had been hiding within the city walls all day, but now he had finally left. It seemed that his defeat had given Xiong Tingbi confidence, making him feel that he could win outside the city.
The opportunity has finally come!
This time, we must seize the opportunity to capture Shenyang City! It will probably be even more difficult to get Xiong Tingbi out of the city next time.
"Prepare for battle." Nurhaci said with a serious face.
At this time, the gates of Shenyang City had been opened, and teams of cavalry began to rush out of the city.
They quickly passed through the city gate and quickly formed up outside the city gate, obviously ready to charge.
The Wild Boar Skin soldiers were still fleeing, looking like they had been utterly routed. Everyone knew the moment of decisive battle had arrived.
Standing on the top of the city wall, Xiong Tingbi looked at the reorganized Li Guangrong, turned to Li Yan beside him and said, "It's up to you."
At this moment, Xiong Tingbi's face was very serious and his heartbeat was also accelerating. Since he arrived in Liaodong, this was the first time he went out of the city to fight a decisive battle.
If he fails to win, he will be criticized and His Majesty will be dissatisfied. At that time, he may not be able to stay in Shenyang.
But if they won, thinking about the situation he wanted, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but feel excited.
"Fire!" Xiong Tingbi's voice was very low, not very loud.
But saying these two words seemed to have used up all his strength, and Xiong Tingbi became completely dejected.
After hearing this, Li Yan nodded, then walked to the muzzle, holding the torch in his own hand. He wanted to fire the shot himself.
Li Yan reached out and lit the fuse of the cannon. Looking at the burning fuse, a look of excitement flashed across his face.
As the fuse burned out, the cannon made a loud bang and a cannonball rushed out of the barrel.
