Choose the former and wait for the Ming army's artillery to be ready before bombarding them.

If you choose the latter, the pressure on the Eight Banners soldiers guarding the mountain will increase.

While they were hesitating, the Ming army's artillery had already arrived at the designated position.

With the help of animals and manpower, the Ming army successfully transported the artillery to the top of the mound.

"Set up the cannons quickly!" shouted the Ming army artillery general.

The artillerymen quickly came to the vicinity of the artillery and completed a series of actions including aiming, loading gunpowder shells, etc.

However, they did not fire because friendly forces were attacking the mountain.

Firing at this time would accidentally injure friendly forces.

"Your Highness," Tunqi came before Jirgalang, "the Ming army artillery is setting up guns on the mound to the south."

"What?" Jirgalang was shocked and hurriedly picked up his clairvoyance to look in the direction of Tunqi's finger.

There was a relatively high mound there, and the Ming army had already transported dozens of cannons to the mound.

This is not the end yet.

Below the mound there were countless horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, and civilian soldiers transporting cannons to the top of the hill.

"Quick, order the artillery to bombard the Ming army's artillery."

boom!

The shell flew through the air and landed near the mound.

The Ming army still did not retaliate, but instead helped other artillery units to speed up the deployment of artillery.

At this time, the battle situation in Nanshan had already been decided.

The Eight Banners soldiers on the Nanshan Mountain had the advantage of being in a dominant position, and with their large numbers, they quickly repelled the first echelon of the Ming army.

Swoosh——

The retreating troops surged back like a tide.

"Your Highness, the defenders of Nanshan have defeated the first wave of Ming troops. Should we send troops to pursue them?" Tunqi came to Jirgalang and asked.

"No pursuit." Jirgalang was as steady as an old dog. "The Eight Banners soldiers are in a commanding position, while the Ming army is attacking from above. The advantage is on my side!"

"Your Highness is wise!" The Eight Banners generals nearby flattered him, "We only need to defend Nanshan and wait for the Ming army to attack. There is no need to chase them!"

"Wait," Jirgalang looked at the Ming army artillery busy on the mound, "Send the cavalry to cover the rear and find a way to rush up the mound and destroy the Ming army's artillery position."

"Yes!" With a wave of the Tunqi command flag, three thousand Eight Banners cavalrymen galloped out.
