Xiong Tingbi stood on the top of the city wall with a gloomy face.

As expected, Nurhaci was planning an ambush. He had done the same thing during the siege just now. He was going to lure him out and kill him by surprise.

However, Nurhaci obviously did not expect that there were huge cannons in Shenyang City, which made the cunning wild boar skin's plan fail.

Without this huge cannon, the people he sent out would have been trapped and would have been defeated. If he led them into the city, Nurhaci would have taken the opportunity to charge directly into the city.

However, Nurhaci's plan was bound to fail. Even without this huge cannon, he would not open the city gate to welcome Li Guangrong into the city, but would let Li Guangrong run back.

As for how far he can run and whether he can run at all, that is not something that Lao Xiong can control. It depends on Li Guangrong's own luck.

Otherwise, if Wild Boar Skin took advantage of the situation and attacked, Old Bear would not be able to guarantee the safety of Shenyang City.

But the situation was not what Xiong Tingbi had originally envisioned. Instead of opening the city gates to support, he needed to open the gates and attack. Otherwise, with Li Guangrong's troops, he might not be able to reach the hillside where Nurhaci was.

Thinking of this, Xiong Tingbi turned around and walked down the city wall.

As they walked, Xiong Tingbi shouted, "Assemble! Pass on my order, follow me out to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

After this order was given, the soldiers on the top of Shenyang City began to move and quickly gathered at the foot of the city.

The city gates were opened and the army poured out.

Xiong Tingbi, standing in front of the battle, rode his horse and shouted loudly: "Charge! Capture the wild boar skin alive!"

"Capture the wild boar skin alive!" The Ming army echoed, and for a moment, their momentum was as high as a rainbow.

The battle outside was still going on. Li Guangrong continued to fight forward, but he did not advance far.

Once the cavalry could no longer charge, they lost their power, and Li Guangrong was already in a tough battle.

Li Yan, who was on the top of the city wall, was ready at this time and turned the cannon around.

At this point, there was naturally no need to attack the hillside anymore, but instead to bombard the wild boar skin army formation.

Wherever there were large crowds of people, they would fire their cannons there. They would directly throw live ammunition at them, and the large iron balls would roll onto the ground, inevitably causing people and horses to fall to the ground.

Solid bullets are very effective in breaking through dense military formations.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi also led the infantry to attack.

In an instant, the sounds of gunfire and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

While the Wild Boar Skin formation was still intact, Xiong Tingbi also charged forward in a military formation, flanked by cavalry, with sword and shield soldiers in front, musketeers in the back, and archers on either side.

At the back of the formation, another group of men were carrying small cannons and running quickly. They did not follow the main group, but instead, under the protection of groups of infantry, turned to the sides and quickly found a suitable position to set up the cannons.

This type of cannon wasn't very large, and one person could easily carry it on their shoulders. Three people formed a unit, set up the cannon, loaded it with shrapnel, and began firing at the wild boarskin formation.

If the number of small cannons was small, they wouldn't be considered very powerful and wouldn't cause much damage. However, there were a lot of these cannons, more than 200 of them, deployed on both sides of the position. Some even loaded with shotgun shells, which were used to prevent the wild boars from charging forward and could be used to blast open the wild boars' formation.

More than two hundred cannons fired at the back of Wild Boar Skin.

For a moment, the sound of explosions on the battlefield was deafening.

Coupled with the cannon on the top of the city firing from time to time, the battlefield was instantly filled with countless smoke.

At this time, Manggurtai was already blood-thirsty and his face was full of anxiety.

The moment the Ming army's artillery began firing, Manggurtai knew that this time it might be bad.

How did the Ming army have so many artillery pieces?

This does not include the heavy artillery on the city walls. All the artillery in the army formation is light artillery that can be carried by one person.

In an instant, the sound of artillery fire rang out everywhere. Wherever a military formation was formed, the Ming army's artillery fire would cover that place. The situation on the battlefield changed instantly, and the Ming army's large group quickly pressed forward.

At this moment, the sound of a gong suddenly rang out from behind the army.

Manggurtai also knew that this was a call to withdraw, meaning that he could retreat. But now that he was being entangled by the Ming army, how could he retreat so easily?

I don’t know who rang the gong. Is he looking for death?

Manggurtai thought so, but the other soldiers did not. The soldiers, who had long been unable to hold on, retreated in an instant.

The Ming army continued to chase after them, and only stopped after they had gone more than thirty miles.

Xiong Tingbi was very happy in his heart, but he did not show any happiness on his face.

This time the chase was a little too deep, so he hurriedly said, "Quickly organize the troops, leave some people to clean up, and the rest return to the city."

Although the battle was won, Xiong Tingbi also knew that it was because it happened suddenly.

A single shot killed Nurhaci, putting an end to their plan to ambush the Ming army. He simply took advantage of the situation to kill them.

Even so, the Ming army did not gain much advantage. The wild boars were much better at fighting than their own side.

On the other side, Manggurtai returned to the rear with a feather arrow stuck in his shoulder.

But he didn't care about so much at this time. Manggurtai walked quickly to the general's tent and saw his third brother Abai at a glance.

Manggurtai hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Third brother, how is Father Khan?"

"Father Khan was injured and passed out." Abai said with a sullen face, "He is awake now. The Ming army bombarded him with artillery, but Father Khan was pinned down by his personal guards, so he was not seriously injured. However, the first shot knocked Father Khan off his horse, so he still suffered some injuries."
