Nurhaci stood on the hillside, the warhorse under his crotch snorted and pawed the ground from time to time, obviously excited.
A good horse knows how to fight, and the horse Nurhaci rode was naturally a good horse.
"Have them prepare bows and arrows and muskets," Xiong Tingbi said, "and fire downwards."
"Yes, Marshal." Li Guangrong agreed quickly.
As Xiong Tingbi passed down this order, gunshots rang out from the top of the city wall. Rain of arrows and bullets formed a firepower network, trying to reap the lives of the wild boarskins.
The wild boar skins under the city wall did not stop and began to fight back, but they mostly pushed the shield carts forward.
After seeing this scene, Nurhaci's expression became more solemn.
His army had advanced to a distance of one mile and would soon reach the city, but Xiong Tingbi did not choose to fire, which was very unreasonable.
You must know that shield carts can only be bombarded by artillery, and the damage caused by muskets and bows and arrows to shield carts is very limited.
Nurhaci suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but it was too late to retreat.
On the top of the city wall, Xiong Tingbi said, "Fire!"
With Xiong Tingbi's order, the cannons on the top of the city wall started firing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The flames instantly blasted towards the opposite side.
In an instant, the shield carts under the city were blown to pieces, and some were directly smashed into pieces by live bullets.
Because the shooting parameters had been calibrated long ago, the wild boar-skin army under the city was stunned by the dense coverage of artillery.
You have to know that this isn't like the previous artillery fire, where artillery fire randomly and blindly. Instead, the location of each shell has been calculated. The reason why the wild boar skin was fired close was because of this confidence.
After the artillery fire covered the area, it caused huge casualties in an instant.
After seeing this scene, Nurhaci's face became even uglier.
I was really fooled, something went wrong!
"Let our cannons fire at the top of the city wall." Nurhaci said with a gloomy face.
As he finished speaking, cannons were pushed up from several chariots behind the shield carts, quickly ignited, and the shells bombarded towards the top of the city wall.
The first few shots were not very powerful. Some of the live ammunition hit the city wall, while others were shrapnel shells that fell on the top of the city wall.
After seeing this, Xiong Tingbi said to Li Guangrong with a serious face: "Let's see which artillery position's firing point is at that location. Let them fire and destroy those guns for me."
"Okay, Marshal!" Chen Guangrong agreed excitedly.
As he said this, the cannons on the top of the city wall sounded again.
This time, the shells whizzed away into the distance and landed directly behind the wild boar skin army formation. They were all shrapnel shells.
In an instant, Wild Boar Skin's artillery position was engulfed in explosions.
At the same time, the artillery on the top of the city fired more intensively, and countless shells fell into the Wild Boar Skin Army.
The Wild Boar Skin Army could no longer hold on and began to turn around and run away regardless of military orders. At this time, they could no longer charge forward.
"Open all the artillery fire, aim at their army and shoot!" Xiong Tingbi said again.
In order to keep the Wild Boar Skin Army closer, Xiong Tingbi did not order the long-range artillery to fire at the beginning. Now that the Wild Boar Skin Army was fleeing back, these long-range artillery could just open fire.
The artillery fire extended out instantly, instantly harvesting the wild boar skins that clearly showed signs of life.
"This cunning Xiong Tingbi!" Nurhaci watched the scene with gritted teeth and said angrily.
On the top of the city wall, Xiong Tingbi had already arrived in front of the huge cannon.
Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Yan beside him and asked directly, "Are you ready?"
At this time, Li Yan was kneeling on one knee on the ground, raising his thumb and measuring towards the outside of the city.
After hearing Xiong Tingbi's words, Li Yan stood up and said, "I'm ready. Don't worry, Marshal. After the artillery fires, I will fire five shells in the shortest possible time. As for the final effect, that depends on God."
"Okay!" Xiong Tingbi nodded and patted Li Yan's shoulder.
He turned to Li Guangrong beside him and said, "Haven't you always wanted to rush out? I'll give you a chance. All 15,000 cavalrymen in the city will be at your disposal. When this cannon fires, you will lead your men out."
After hearing this, Li Guangrong's face suddenly lit up with excitement, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, Marshal, I will definitely not let you down!"
Xiong Tingbi nodded and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. If you can't win, don't enter the city. I will close the city gates after you leave. If you can't win, just go around the city and run to the back."
"If you can win, I'll send someone to pick you up. But you have to remember, you can only chase us for twenty miles, no more. Do you understand?"
