After a day of intense battle, Huang Taiji couldn't take it anymore.
The defensive strength of Guang Ning City was far beyond his imagination.
A total of 60,000 people surrounded and attacked for a day.
The moat and the city walls were already littered with their corpses and pieces, and their blood dyed the ground red.
They had thought that it would be easier to attack once they got close to the city wall.
But this was the beginning of their nightmare.
When Slave Jian's ladder and charging chariot arrived at the city wall, the city wall was already in a state of chaos.
A large number of incendiary bombs, explosive grenades, and black powder explosives were thrown down as if they were free.
Although the grenade was not very powerful, it was made of black gunpowder.
However, the quantity was huge. Once it exploded, it would be a piece.
The troops that reached the city wall suffered heavy casualties.
However, Huang Taiji was not willing to give up. Thus, they launched a total of three attacks throughout the day.
However, the results were the same. Their siege weapons were basically destroyed by the cannons on the way.
When they reached the city wall and were about to attack.
There were also explosive bags, grenades, and alchemical oil incendiary bombs waiting for them.
How were they supposed to fight?
Huang Taiji felt very helpless about this.
It even made him feel a little defeated.
When would Houjin be able to equip a large number of cannons?
Otherwise, when faced with such a strong city, they would not be able to attack at all and could only choose to surround it.
"Khagan, we can't continue to attack. The number of cannons in Guang Ning City is greater than the total number of cannons in Jin Province and Ning Yuan City.”
"Today, we have lost more than eight thousand people. If we continue to fight, the tribes will have objections.”
Daishan said with tears in his eyes.
More than 40,000 of their Houjin soldiers had already fallen in Guangning City.
It could be said that this had already greatly damaged Hou Jin's vitality.
If these troops were to be wiped out again, the entire Houjin would really be finished.
Huang Taiji closed his eyes in pain.
He couldn't accept this. How could he leave so willingly?
At this moment, Fan Wencheng stood up.
Even though he had already defected to the Houjin, during Nurhachi's time, he was not valued at all.
After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he set up a literature hall and Fan Wencheng became famous in the Houjin Dynasty.
After that, when he worked for Houjin, he did not spare any effort and was loyal.
Seeing the Khagan in such pain, he said,""Khagan, I have an attack that might be able to break through Guang Ning City.”
Huang Taiji suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of hope appeared in his eyes.
"I have a plan!"
It was obvious that Huang Taiji was a fan of the Three Kingdoms.
The others also looked at Fan Wencheng curiously.
Fan Wencheng was instantly in a good mood, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I heard that this Zhu Heng treats the people of the Ming Dynasty very well. After entering the city, not only did he distribute food to the people, he even prepared sufficient winter supplies for them.”
"What do you mean? Don't tell me you're saying that your plan is to let us listen to you brag about Zhu Heng?”
Haug, who had a bad temper, scolded with an angry expression.
Huang Taiji immediately said angrily,"Let him finish."”
Hao Ge immediately restrained his expression and did not dare to talk back to his father.
Fan Wencheng looked at Hao Ge apologetically and continued,""Don't we have a large number of wise people in our hands? The army could use them as meat shields to attack Guang Ning.”
"Perhaps that Zhu Heng doesn't dare to shoot at all.“
"If he gives the order, then the news of him killing innocent people will spread throughout Guangning City very quickly.”
"At that time, their morale will definitely be affected, and it will be a huge blow to his prestige. It will be difficult to govern Guang Ning.”
"Moreover, even if those wise people and commoners die, so what? We won't suffer any losses.”
It had to be said that the traitor Fan Wencheng's plan was indeed very vicious.
Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said,"On behalf of the good!"
"Khagan!"
"Tomorrow, you will kidnap 1,000 civilians and use them as meat shields to attack Guang Ning. I want to see what Zhu Heng will do.”
"Scum!"
A bloodthirsty look flashed across Daishan's eyes.
"Tomorrow, I will definitely make Zhu Heng pay the price in blood.”
Early in the morning, Huang Taiji led a group of generals to the south city. This was also one of the city gates that they attacked.
This time, he came with the attitude of watching a show, and his mood was obviously much better.
"Daishan, attack."
"Scum!"
After Daishan received the order, he led more than 10,000 infantrymen with siege weapons to attack Guangning City.
At the front of the siege troops were 3,000 Han Chinese escorted by Jian Nu soldiers.
Most of them were old, young, women and children. It was obvious that they had been carefully selected.
The Han people ruled the world with filial piety. If they attacked the elderly, women, and children, they would be punished by the heavens.
Moreover, these old, weak, women, and children were powerless to resist them.
"Sir. Not good, something happened!"
After Sun Chuanting discovered this situation, he immediately went to Zhu Heng's temporary residence in a panic.
Zhu Heng was shocked when he saw Sun Chuanting's panic. He asked,""What happened?"
Sun Chuanting's face was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and said,"This group of damned beasts actually drove the commoners to attack the city.”
"What?"
Zhu Heng's expression changed and immediately turned ugly.
However, he soon sneered and said,"I've long expected these vile creatures to use this move.”
In history, both the Yuan Dynasty and Slave Jian loved to use this method to attack cities.
Therefore, he had already thought of a corresponding countermeasure.
Otherwise, why would he leave the Zhenren and the prisoners of war behind after breaking through Guangning City?
It was to prevent this day from coming.
Since you dared to drive the Han people to attack the city, then he would dare to slaughter the Jurchen on the city wall for him to see.
If Huang Taiji dared to sit back and watch his clansmen being slaughtered by him.
Then the Jurchen tribes under him would definitely overthrow him.
Even if he couldn't overturn it, it would be enough to give him a blow.
After all, as the Houjin Khagan, if he did not care about the life and death of his clansmen, it would chill the hearts of many.
"We must rescue the Ming people that Huang Taiji kidnapped from the pass.”
Zhu Heng clenched his fists tightly as he hatefully said.
