The sun was rising for several consecutive days, and the ice and snow in Liaodong were melting faster and faster. It was estimated that the road surface had been thawing for only one or two days, and both the Ming and the Later Jin Dynasty took action.

On Zhu Cijiong's side, he had led the First Corps of the Imperial Guards to Zunhua, and the food and grass raised from all over the country were also sent here continuously. Zunhua City was filled with small bundles of grain and grass piles, and more than 100,000 prisoners of bandits were speeding up to build trolleys under the supervision of the Tianxiong Army.

If all the food and grass of the 600,000 troops were used in carriages, I don’t know how many trips would be taken back and forth. When Huang Taiji cut the food route, it would be a big trouble. These bandit captives eventually went to Liaodong to farm. The trolleys were essential agricultural equipment for them. After transporting the food, they would just let them use it themselves, and they would not be afraid of wasting materials.

Huang Taiji didn't need to prepare any trolleys. The Mongolian grassland was short of food, but Liaodong was a big granary. There was still food for the troops of the Mongolian tribes to be a sativa. He just had to allocate the troops of each tribe, and when the ice and snow melted, he asked his subordinates to lead them to the city they were responsible for.

Huang Taiji and even Zhu Ciji did not expect that this would be a huge forest about a hundred miles away from the Dingliao Right Guard, Mao Wenlong, a madman, was cutting trees and cutting wood, and building siege equipment!

For the convenience of transportation, he just assembled the ladder. The other well railings and siege cars were not assembled. It would not take much trouble to pull them to the Dingliao Right Guard with a carriage and then assemble them. It would be necessary to assemble them now. After the earth was thawed, the muddy road surface and the bulky well railings, the siege cars could not push them to the Dingliao Right Guard for a few days.

At noon three days later, the ice and snow on the road had completely melted, and the siege equipment had almost been made. Deputy General Chen Jisheng led an army of 50,000, and appeared in front of Mao Wenlong on time with food and supplies. Mao Wenlong patted his shoulder with pleasure, and said thank you for your hard work. Then he waved his hand directly, and the siege car was loaded at a speed. The ladder was lifted up in groups of ten people, and the army continued to move forward!

When Mao Wenlong arrived not far south of Dingliao Right Guard, it was already dark. Amin on the city wall saw the darkness of the Ming army below, and was not surprised at all. He had expected Mao Wenlong to come and attack. It would be strange if he didn't come. He did not panic, but said calmly: "Immediately notify the Khan immediately, be more energetic to me at night, be careful of their attacks."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and went down the city wall, but he didn't even have the interest to take a look!

Mao Wenlong's behavior was also very plain, but he just set up a camp about three or four miles away from the southern city wall, burying a pot to make rice, and resting directly after eating, without any abnormal behavior.

Amin was very calm. He estimated that Mao Wenlong would just come to deal with his errands and would not attack the city desperately. When reinforcements arrived, he would withdraw back to Pi Island. He used to do this every time, and he hated people so much that they were itchy, but he had no way to do it.

If he saw Mao Wenlong's dense ladders and truckloads of logs, he would probably not think so. Unfortunately, the sky was too dark and the other party was too far away, so he didn't notice these things at all.

The next morning, just dawn, Amin, who was still sleeping, was awakened by Niu Lu, who was guarding the city. Before he could get up, there was a big noise outside.

"The Lord of the Tutor is not good. The city wall on the west is surrounded by the Ming army. They are building siege equipment, which is so fast."

"The Lord of the Tutor is not good. The city wall on the east is surrounded by the Ming army. They are also building siege equipment. The speed is simply outrageous."

"The Lord of the Tutor is not good. The Ming army in the south is also building siege equipment. The speed is really outrageous."

Amin hurriedly put on her clothes and ran to the door. The three Niulu immediately surrounded her and kept screaming.

He yelled in anger: "What a quarrel? I've never seen siege equipment. How fast can it be?"

The three Niulu shrank back in fear, and one of them replied with a little courage: "Master Dutong, it's really fast, just like a pile of sand towers, and it got up in a whizz."

Amin was so angry that he kicked him to the ground and cursed: "Did you not wake up? Can you be that fast?"

The other two Niu Lu continued to shrink back in fear, then nodded vigorously and said, "Really, really, Lord Dutong, it's so fast!"

Amin's face changed when she heard this. It was possible that one of them had not woken up. It was absolutely impossible that the three of them had not woken up. It seemed that they were in trouble. He hurriedly shouted to the guard not far away: "Hurry up, prepare your horse, go with me to see."

Soon, he arrived on the city wall on the south side. The scene opposite him was stunned. The empty flat ground was already densely filled with siege cars and well railings, and new siege cars and well railings kept rising up, just like a sand tower, and it got up in an instant.

Niu Lu, who was standing beside him, carefully reminded: "There is no Ming army in the north, so draw some people from the north to support him?"

Amin took a deep breath and shook his head and said, "No, I haven't determined which side of their main attack yet. It's time to wait until they start attacking and adjusting it."

At this time, the siege equipment on the opposite side seemed to be almost made, and began to line up in rows. This was about to siege the city. Amin quickly shouted: "Send the order, ignite the hot water and the hot oil will be burned, and the rolling stones and wood will be carried under the arrow pile."

Which side will Mao Wenlong attack? His order is to attack fiercely on three sides at the same time!

Seeing that the siege equipment in front was almost all arranged, Mao Wenlong gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go and tell the soldiers who siege the city on three sides, the first one, except for the reward from the court, I will give each of the first thousand people one thousand taels, kill one enemy. In addition to the reward from the court, I will add another ten taels. Don't be afraid that I will not be able to get it if I die. I will send a lot of money to their relatives."

The so-called "100,000 snowflake silver in the Qing magistrate in three years". He has been the general for more than ten years, and there are still hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. It is not that he deliberately falsely reported his military achievements and misappropriated food and wages. The atmosphere in the late Ming Dynasty was like this. He was already greedy for less. He was also afraid that the emperor would settle the accounts after the autumn, so he took the initiative to take out part of it and motivate his soldiers. As long as he conquered the Dingliao Right Guard in one fell swoop, he would have made great contributions. He probably wouldn't bother with him any more.

After about a quarter of an hour, Mao Wenlong probably should have been prepared on all three sides. He no longer hesitated and shouted directly: "Beat the drum and attack the city."

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong" The low sound of war drums rang throughout the battlefield, and the Ming army siege in unison: "Roar." Then, rows of siege cars quickly moved towards the city wall.

The siege car is divided into the siege wall and the siege gate. The siege gate is a huge log in the middle of two rows of wheels, and it is directly striking towards the city gate. The siege wall is a square wooden cage covered with cooked cowhide and empty in the middle. Soldiers can drag a ladder to hide below and push towards the city wall.

Mao Wenlong built all the city walls this time. As for the city gate, let’s forget it. Generally, two large pots are installed in front of the city gate tower, and the inside is full of oil. Once the siege cart passes over, the hot hot oil will be poured down, and a few torches will be thrown away. The siege cart will probably be almost dead.

The Dingliao Right Guard was not a big city, and there was not even a moat, so the siege cars rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and the well railing behind them also followed, and rows of archers began to shoot against the enemies on the city wall. The soldiers under the siege cars also began to erect ladders and leaned against the city wall.

The siege battle was officially started. As soon as the cloud ladder approached the city wall, countless rolling stones and wood were smashed down from it. Those who could not hide quickly could run back to the siege car. Those who could not avoid it were directly hit by blood. The archers on the well railings became even more urgent, and screams were heard from time to time on the city wall. At this time, the Ming army began to climb up the city wall with shields.

Mao Wenlong in the distance looked at the Ming army soldiers who were falling down like dumplings, and his face felt aching. This was all his subordinates who had been with him for more than ten years. They disappeared in front of him one by one, saying that they didn't feel sorry for it was fake.

Usually, he should retreat at this time. He used to be like this. He tried the time first. If the enemy guarding the city was not very good, he would step up his attack. If the enemy guarding the city was too powerful, he would retreat to rest and retreat immediately when the enemy's reinforcements arrived.

But this time, Mao Wenlong did not retreat. He just stared at the city wall and said nothing. After half an hour, the first batch of soldiers siege gradually decreased. The siege carts were covered with wounded soldiers, and the siege carts were everywhere outside the siege carts.

Mao Wenlong made a cruel decision and shouted: "The second wave is on!"

Another row of siege cars and well railings moved towards the city wall. The first wave of wounded and tired soldiers slowly retreated and gave up their positions. The second wave of Ming army began to climb up the city wall again with fearlessness.

Amin on the city wall couldn't figure it out. It would be fine if you attack one side hard, but Niu Lu on the other two sides sent people to say that the Ming army attacked too fiercely, so he asked him to dispatch troops to support him. What a joke? He attacked three sides hard, and even went to the second wave. He couldn't help but curse: "Is this Mao Wenlong crazy? How much benefit does the little emperor give him? If you attack the city with such a desperate attack, you can divide three thousand people on the north wall, one thousand on the east and south sides, one thousand on one side, hurry up."

Mao Wenlong was determined to take down the right guard of Dingliao in one go. Seeing that the second wave of soldiers had slowly climbed up to the city wall, but he was weak and was soon knocked down again. He couldn't help but stare at his scarlet eyes and shouted: "The third wave is on!"

He prepared three waves in total, each with 30,000 people, and each wall was 10,000 people. The remaining 10,000 gathered behind him and moved.

As soon as the third wave went up, the enemy troops on the city wall could not resist it. After all, each city wall was only 5,000, and another 1,000 people were only 6,000. The 30,000 enemies took turns to attack, and the hands of chopping people were soft. The rolling stones, wood, hot water and oil were almost used, and the arrows were almost gone. It was already good to be able to withstand it.

Amin looked at the more and more Ming troops on the city walls, and knew that the situation was hopeless, he began to feel conflicted. According to Huang Taiji's intention, he wanted to try his best to preserve the Jurchens, but he had never done anything about abandoning the city and fleeing. Should he retreat?

He retreated at that time in the Chongzhen Dynasty. When Sun Chengzong led an army of more than 100,000 to attack Zunhua, he fled. As soon as he returned, he was under house arrest by Huang Taiji. He never came out again until he died.

Mao Wenlong didn't know that Amin had already retreated. He looked at his soldiers up and down countless times, but he didn't attack the city wall, and couldn't help but be anxious. He looked at the corpses lying under the city wall, and a burst of blood surged onto his forehead. He directly grabbed the sun and moon dragon flag from the guards behind him, held it high, and shouted: "Brothers of the Dongjiang Army, the emperor is watching us and rushing with me."

After roaring, he directly held the Sun and Moon Dragon Flag and rushed under the city wall. The Ming generals had all their armor, so they were not afraid of ordinary arrows, so many of them took the lead in charge and entered the formation. When the 10,000 Ming soldiers behind him rushed forward, they naturally roared and followed.

The soldiers siege were also attracted by the movements here. They saw the chief general Mao Wenlong and the raised sun and moon dragon flag. The injured soldiers seemed to feel the pain. They got up one by one and ran towards the ladder. The tired soldiers seemed to be full of strength again, and they all started to slash and kill like a flash of light.

Amin looked at all this in horror, stunned for a while, and then roared unwillingly: "Ming Jin, let me go."

"Bangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang" sounded the sound of gold throughout the battlefield, and the Later Jin soldiers seemed to suddenly feel energetic, leaving their opponents aside, and ran away.

Mao Wenlong climbed the city wall and looked at the Hou Jin soldiers fleeing north frantically, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said tiredly: "Send the order, five thousand people from both sides of the east and west to occupy the north wall, and then clean up the battlefield, and stop chasing."

In this battle, the assistant admiral Mao Wenlong led 100,000 Dongjiang troops to fight for nearly two hours. At the huge cost of more than 40,000 casualties, he quickly took down the Dingliao Right Guard and took the lead in the Ming army.
