【Chapter 720】Jianlu advancing with the times

As for whether the White Army had retreated, Amin didn't think about it at all. He believed that Xu Xingxia would never retreat. If the White Army had to leave, it would have left long ago. Why wait until now? Is it very good to retreat in a mess? After the White Army entered Liaodong, it seemed that they could only make others feel embarrassed, while they themselves were so carefree.

As time went by, Amin felt more and more that Xu Xingxia was difficult to deal with. After all, he was a figure who could overthrow the Ming Dynasty and must have considerable skills. His military use was fast, accurate and ruthless, just like a sharp arrow from the Great Jin army, which could be killed at any time. This time he was hiding in Yangguan Fort, which was more like a conspiracy, a conspiracy waiting for the arrival of the Great Jin army, rather than being desperate or evacuated from Liaodong.

Amin couldn't tell whether the Jin army flocked to encircle the Yangguan Fort, whether it was good or bad. If this was Xu Xingxia's trick, the Jin army would be injured. Although Amin didn't know what conspiracy Xu Xingxia was doing, on the surface, Xu Xingxia did not seem to be doing conspiracy. However, he already had a very strong premonition in his heart. The Yangguan Fortress was likely to become the sad place for the Jin army.

Fortunately, the walls of Yangguan Castle were indeed smashed a lot. After hitting the iron lumps, they did make achievements in destroying the city walls. You can see with the naked eye that the original Yangguan Castle walls were beyond recognition. There were large gaps in many places, and infantry could pass directly. Perhaps, if you continue to bomb, the Jin army could adopt the method of cavalry attacking the city directly. The sparse city walls would be broken as soon as they hit.

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, Nurhaci's originally tense cheeks were slowly dissolving. As Amin observed, the violent shelling did play a certain role. However, after a moment, he couldn't help but become a little suspicious. The reaction of the White Army was indeed a little strange. What was Xu Xingxia and his White Army doing?

If it were replaced by the Great Jin army, they would definitely flee in all directions when they were hit by such a fierce shelling. For the Great Jin army, what they feared the most was the cannon. Once they were shot, the team of the Great Jin army would definitely be in chaos. No one would be able to withstand such violent shelling. However, the White Army had just endured it and had no reaction at all.

Like Amin, Nurhaci didn't believe that Xu Xingxia would retreat voluntarily. He also believed that Xu Xingxia was definitely not an easy person to deal with. He would never leave Liaodong easily. Since the Baibiao Army did not withdraw, it must be in Yangguan Fort. In other words, they must be silently under the shelling at this time. However, Nurhaci could not imagine how the White Army avoided such violent shelling.

Jianlu's artillery lasted for half an hour and slowly stopped. In fact, it was not that they wanted to stop, but that all the shells were basically exhausted. The Han artillery was too active and fired too fast, and soon all the reserved ammunition was exhausted. Without the shells, the cannons naturally lost their function.

Amin frowned and ordered the continued search of shells from other regions. As a result, the news reported by various places made him feel extremely hopeless. All regions sent people to repay them, but no shells were found within their jurisdiction.

"Damn Emin." Amin could only mutter helplessly.

There are artillery artillery in the Liaodong region, but the shells are seriously insufficient. Originally, according to regulations, each cannon should have more than fifty shells. Large towns such as Liaoyang, Chenyang, Fushun, and Tieling should have more shells reserved. However, in fact, for some well-known reasons, there are generally more than ten or twenty.

After receiving Amin's report, the senior officials of the Great Jin Kingdom once again hated the Ming army's **. Each cannon had less than twenty shells, which was outrageous. In the world, there was no more outrageous troops than the Ming army. So much military expenditure was fed to the dogs. If there was enough ammunition, they could still smash the walls of Yangguan Fort. Now, if the soup is not soup or water is not water, they don't know how to make a decision.

"Go to the cavalry?" Tang Gudi asked in confusion.

"Impossible." Babutai vetoed his suggestion without hesitation.

Although the walls of Yangguan Fort have been damaged by many places, they still cannot be able to get on the cavalry. Those remaining walls can still block the cavalry's path forward.

The biggest flaw of cavalry is that it lacks the ability to attack. Only fools can use cavalry to attack. The senior leaders of the Great Jin Army are not as stupid as this.

Tang Gu did not stick to his suggestions. He just said casually and did not take it seriously. Everyone knows that if you go directly to the cavalry, the risk is indeed greater. If the cavalry goes up, they cannot break through the walls of Yangguan Fort and are completely exposed to the muskets of the White-clothed Army, it would be tragic. The Jin army can no longer withstand too serious losses.

Since the cavalry cannot go up, we can only send infantry to go up and test. No matter what, after the fierce shelling, the Jin army would definitely send people to test the movements of the White-Clothed Army. If we are lucky, maybe all the White-Clothed Army in the Yangguan Fort were killed by the shelling. Although this result sounds a bit ridiculous. However, as long as the White-Clothed Army is injured and its combat effectiveness is weakened, the opportunity for the Jin army will come.

Speaking of which, the Jin army was indeed depressed. The troops they brought this time were basically cavalry, with strong mobility and good cavalry and archery. However, because of the Yangguan Fort, the cavalry had to be used as infantry. The cavalry became infantry, and the cavalry became infantry archers. This was simply a regression in history.

In fact, the most rational way for the Great Jin army is to ignore Xu Xingxia completely, ignore the White Army, and let them do whatever they want. With the current strength of the White Army, it is impossible to cause fatal damage to the Great Jin army in field battles. Therefore, the White Army can only hide in the Sheepguan Fort and cannot come out. However, the damage caused by the White Army to the Great Jin army before made it difficult for the Great Jin army to pull it down. They must avenge their revenge and avenge their previous shame.

The Great Jin army was wiped out eight Niulu and Nurhaci's biological baby was captured. If the Great Jin army did not respond at all, how could it be swallowed? Even if the Great Jin army could swallow this, it was a manifestation of cowardice in the eyes of others. Cowardice is absolutely unacceptable to the Great Jin army. Therefore, before savoring enough, the Great Jin army would definitely catch the Sheepguan Fort.

Xu Xingxia used the mentality of Jianlu. He wanted to introduce the other party into the death trap bit by bit. Yangguan Fort is a huge trap, a huge bottomless pit. The city wall and other things were destroyed since time immemorial. Jianlu's cannons would not completely destroy the city wall without flowering bullets. As long as there were a little obstacle, even if it was a broken city wall, the advantage occupied by the white-clothed army would be infinitely magnified.

On the contrary, if it was a white-clothed army with only more than one thousand people in the plains and wilderness, it would be absolutely impossible to fight with the Jianlu cavalry. The outcome would definitely be very tragic. Xu Xingxia naturally would not do such a stupid thing. I guess what Nurhaci most hoped for in his heart is to come out of the Yangguan Fort and fight with the Jin army.

"Sir, Jianlu's shelling has stopped." Liu Chuang hurriedly came to report.

After the Jianlu's shelling stopped, Xu Xingxia came out of the bunker, patted the dust on his body, straightened his body, and looked around. There was nothing special. The wall of Yangguan Castle was indeed destroyed, and Nian could continue to block Jianlu's cavalry. As long as the city wall could block Jianlu's cavalry, there was nothing else worth paying attention to.

In the distance, Jianlu's artillery were packing up his things in scattered ways.

The Jianlu cavalry who were responsible for supervising the launch of artillery all walked away. All the artillery was still in the firing state and had not been adjusted. Judging from their actions, there should be no shells. It is probably because Jianlu is trying to find a way to search for shells everywhere. The Ming army in Liaodong had a large number of artillery but not enough shells, which was indeed a depressing thing.

Yun Qifeng came out of the cover, raised his telescope and looked for a while, and muttered, "***, Jianlu actually uses cannons too. Didn't they say that they hate firearms the most? Since they hate them, don't use them."

Xu Xingxia casually said, "Keep up with the times! Nothing is unchanging. Do you think Jianlu has any other means to deal with us besides cannons?"

Yun Qifeng just complained casually, and there was no real meaning. He turned around and went to prepare his artillery battalion. Jianlu's artillery was so fierce and fierce that it was very exciting to him. He really wanted to give Jianlu a reply. Unfortunately, without Xu Xingxia's order, his artillery battalion could only be in a state of watching the battle for the time being.
