"Roar——"

"Get out of here, dog Tartars!"

At the north gate of Weining Camp, more than ten Ming troops were pushing a huge chariot, trying to block the city gate. This chariot was the terrifying gate-blocking knife cart.

This thing is about the same size as the city gate corridor. There are knives in front of it. At this moment, these knives are still covered with disgusting flesh and blood. On the ground are the corpses of war horses and captives lying. It is extremely terrifying.

Outside the suspension bridge, Huang Taiji looked at the one-foot-four-foot-tall chariot with numbness on his head and sweaty palms.

He had originally wanted to ride his horse and squeeze into the city, but fortunately his horse was not very fast, so he escaped the flanking attack of two gate-carrying sword carts in the inner city.

He clearly saw three horse-mounted infantrymen being attacked and killed by two Semen sword carts, so he quickly retreated.

"What's going on! Didn't you say that the North Gate has been taken down?!"

Huang Taiji cursed angrily, rarely showing his original temper, while Baijia Balaya, who had gone to report the news before, knelt down, lowered his head and said:

"It should be the reinforcements of the Ming army in the city that counterattacked and recaptured the city gate, but please rest assured Baylor, the city gate tower is still in the hands of Dajin's warriors!"

"If we can't take down the city gate, it's useless no matter how many towers we take down!" Huang Taiji angrily yelled in the rain, then pointed at the city gate corridor with his whip and said:

"Have someone place a thousand-pound gate to suppress the door-blocking sword cart, and then order someone to use an ax to chop the sword cart. Within a quarter of an hour, I will take down the city gate!"

"Yes!" Many Jia La bowed their heads in agreement, and then the army outside the North City began to mobilize.

Almost at the same time, Lu Qin from the east gate also killed all the Liao merchants and northern captives, and then followed the horseshoe marks outside the city and his expression changed drastically:

"Jianlu has gone to Beicheng. Five hundred troops will be left here to garrison. The rest will follow me to support Beicheng!"

After a fierce battle, no one had time to rest. After the war, more than 2,000 people followed Lu Qin and rushed to the North City Gate. At this moment, the North City Head was also extremely tragic.

Jia La'e's true fighting prowess is worthy of recognition, but Wang Chong's sacrifice of life is more likely to shock people.

The arrow wound on his face did not stop bleeding, which caused his strength to decline, and he gradually became unable to hold the pumpkin hammer tightly. But sometimes, the will is often stronger than the body.

At this moment, he was in this state.

"kill!"

Using his last strength, Wang Chong led his men into the city tower. Hu Erhan saw that the situation was not good, and after discovering the gate-blocking knife cart in the city gate corridor, he also hurriedly went down to kill the Ming army at the city gate.

After Wang Chong broke into the city tower, he immediately saw the white-armored Bala Ya who was stirring the turntable.

The lieutenant beside Wang Chong led his men to kill him. At the same time, Wang Chong also dropped the pumpkin hammer in his hand, his vision went dark, and he fainted...

"General!"

Seeing Wang Chong fall, the lieutenant hurriedly stepped forward to help him. He was relieved when he found that Wang Chong had just fainted.

"Lieutenant General Li! The winch has been smashed. It can't be put down and it can't be winched!"

Suddenly, two guerrillas yelled anxiously, and upon hearing this, Vice General Li gritted his teeth and said:

"The winch is broken, the city gate is undefendable, all troops withdraw!"

"Yes!" After hearing Vice General Li's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In this current situation, the city gate cannot be defended. If Vice General Li is as stubborn as Wang Chong, I am afraid that the whole army will be ruined here.

Retreating in time is the best answer to King Qi's military order.

"Save the land and lose the people, and everyone and the land will be lost. Save the people and lose the land, and both the people and the land will survive."

This is the military order left by Zhu Youjian after he rectified Liaodong. It refers to Liaodong. Except for important cities such as Liaoshen and other places, if there is a critical moment in other places, the army can retreat without holding on, and there will be no mistakes after the war.

The reason why Zhu Youjian issued this order was because with the future artillery of the Ming army, it would be a hundred times easier to attack a city than that of Hou Jin. Therefore, there was no need to lose thousands of troops to defend a city.

The only thing the general needs to do is to burn all the supplies that cannot be taken away!

The elite level of Baijia Balaya is staggering. There are three thousand soldiers in the battalion, but one-third of the troops and horses have been lost. Therefore, if they don't leave, they really have no chance to leave.

If you leave, you still have a chance to counterattack. If you don't leave, you will only get dumped, and no one can pass the news on.

In this thought, Lieutenant General Li took advantage of Huang Taiji outside the gate before he could completely break through the city gate, and quickly withdrew to the east gate with the remaining troops. After they left, Hu Erhan led his men to recapture the city after a cup of tea.

After clearing the city gate tower and city gate, Huang Taiji was let in.

"Have all the Ming troops been wiped out?"

As soon as Huang Taiji entered the city, he looked at the Ming army corpses everywhere, as well as many white-armored Balaya corpses, and his face became extremely ugly.

"No...more than a thousand people escaped..."

Hu Erhan also felt his face burning hot, because he did not expect that he and his white-armored Balaya would be snatched back to the city gate tower by the Ming army.

"Run to the treasury and Changpingcang first!"

When Huang Taiji heard that someone had escaped, he had no time to reprimand Hu Erhan. Instead, he anxiously led people to close the warehouse and rush to the treasury.

Once the Ming army was defeated, they would burn supplies. This was something everyone in the Hou Jin Dynasty knew in the past two years.

For Hou Jin, every bit of material is indispensable, so they ignore the pursuit.

As they rushed to the granary, the rain began to gradually subside. When Vice General Li led the remaining army and the fainted Wang Chong rushed to the east gate, they also encountered more than 2,000 troops and horses led by Lu Qin on the way.

.

"General! The North Gate was lost, nearly half of the camp was destroyed, and the number of captives exceeds 10,000!"

Seeing Lu Qin, Lieutenant General Li seemed to have found his backbone. When Lu Qin heard that there were more than 10,000 captives and that the North City Gate had been captured, he made an immediate decision and said to the hundreds of riders around him:

"Go! Burn the gunpowder warehouse, granary and Changping warehouse! Inform all ministries to evacuate from Ximen to Liaoyang!"

Later, the Jinma infantry was stronger than the Ming army. Since the city gate was lost, there was no need to defend it. It was better to withdraw to Liaoyang and use Yanshan General's artillery to counterattack.

The rain was getting lighter and the Ming army was retreating. At the same time, they set fire to the Changping Cang, the gunpowder warehouse and the treasury, and transported half of the thirty boxes of silver in the treasury.

By the time Huang Taiji led his troops, Lu Qin had already withdrawn from the Weining Camp and blew up the forty-seven French artillery pieces on the east, south, and west walls.

"Firefighting!"

Looking at the burning Changpingcang and treasury, Huang Taiji anxiously commanded the army to put out the fire. He didn't bother to pursue Lu Qin. After all, he had already set up an ambush at the Weining Camp on the way back to Liaoyang.

Due to the rain, not much food was burned in Changpingcang and the treasury. The only thing that made Huang Taiji look unhappy was that most of the thousands of kilograms of gunpowder in the gunpowder warehouse were taken away, and the remaining several hundred kilograms were set ablaze.

.

"Pfft..."

The sound of iron tools piercing flesh could be heard, and half an hour later the war was declared to have ceased in Weining Camp.

On the top of the city, the broken body, stomach, broken spears and weapons, as well as the banner with the word "Ming" abandoned on the ground and washed by the heavy rain, all indicate the fall of Weining Camp.

When Huang Taiji counted the casualties and seizures in this battle, his expression turned ugly. At this time, Nurhaci also led his army to the outside of Weining Yingbao...

"drive!"

The sound of intensive horse hoofbeats sounded, Huang Taiji and Hu Erhan led the people out of the east gate, and saw various horse infantry wearing raincoats.

There are so many of them that they almost fill the eastern river valley where Weining Camp is located, and not a single piece of bare land can be seen.

Huang Taiji led his men and galloped out of the valley along the road where the army came. Beyond the valley, there were soldiers and horses of all kinds that could not be seen at a glance.

After marching in the rain for more than two hours, the faces of these soldiers became abnormally pale, and their lips even turned purple.

Fortunately, it's only June now. If this rain had happened in September or even October, I'm afraid the eighty miles would have been enough to knock down thousands of people.

Huang Taiji glanced at it and galloped for another two or three miles. At this time, a yellow tent appeared in the distance. Huang Taiji also rode his horse to the tent, dismounted with Hu Erhan, and knelt on the ground with one knee.

As he knelt down, footsteps also appeared from inside the yellow tent. A figure in yellow armor walked into the rain. Behind him, there were generals wearing various armors and a man wearing armor.

, a young man with an angry face.

"Khan Amma, Weining Camp has been captured!"

Huang Taiji knelt on one knee on the muddy ground in the rain, and standing in front of him was Nurhaci, who personally led the army into Liao.

Behind Nurhaci stood a veteran general, Yanguli, who was one of the five ministers along with Hu Erhan, followed by generals such as Du Du, Yue Tuo, Abatai, and Jil Harang.

Under such a lineup, the young man wearing armor and a bookish face was very inconsistent. However, when Nurhaci heard Huang Taiji's words, he immediately turned to the young man and said:

"Fan Wencheng, your strategy is good. You can be credited with a meritorious service, and you will be exempted from your status as an armored slave. From today on, you will serve as the commander-in-chief of the fourth Han camp."

"Thank you, Khan!" Hearing Nurhachi's words, Fan Wencheng knelt down excitedly, and this scene aroused dissatisfaction among others.

However, due to the big event at hand, no one said anything.

However, Huang Taiji saw this and took the opportunity to say:

"Khan Amma, this time followed Mr. Fan's plan and instigated a rebellion against the Han merchants in Weining Camp. We attacked Weining Camp from both inside and outside, and seized more than 20 furlong machine guns, more than 6,400 taels of silver, and 50,000 yuan.

Six thousand shi of grain.”

On the surface, Huang Taiji was talking about the seizure, but in fact he was highlighting the importance of Fan Wencheng.

Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, Nurhachi said to Fan Wencheng again: "Forget it, you will lead a battalion by yourself."

"Thank you, Khan!" Fan Wencheng kowtowed excitedly again, and at this time Yanguli, who was standing behind Nurhachi, also stepped forward and said:

"Great Khan, do you want to withdraw your troops now? The capture of more than 50,000 shi of grain and 25 artillery pieces is already pretty good."

"Retract troops?" Nurhachi twitched the muscles on his face and looked at Huang Taiji with dark eyes:
