As a battle-hardened veteran, the sight in front of him did not frighten him.
On the contrary, it stimulated him even more and enabled him to face this battle with a fuller attitude.
Wu Sangui, the Han vassal king conferred by the Tatars, commanded tens of thousands of troops, and looked like he wanted to eat Yunyang in one bite.
However, Cao Fengnian was not someone to be trifled with.
He ordered his soldiers to make preparations for the defense of the city and to remain unchanged in the face of any changes.
There were no artillery at the top of Yunyang City, so Cao Fengnian had to wait until the opponent was within range of the archers before ordering the arrows to be fired.
The Qing army took this opportunity to advance quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were within a hundred steps of the city wall.
"shoot arrows" Cao Fengnian, who had been waiting for a long time, finally shouted loudly, his voice like thunder and lightning.
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, and the arrows shot towards the Qing army with fierce momentum.
Those Qing soldiers hiding under ladders and rushing cars naturally don't need to worry.
The other charging soldiers raised their shields to block.
This defensive measure blocked most of the arrows, but a small number of arrows escaped through the gaps and penetrated the skin of the Qing soldiers.
Screams came one after another, and the Qing army suffered casualties.
Cao Fengnian on top of the city widened his eyes angrily and roared to cheer up the soldiers.
"My sons, it's time to kill the Tatars.
It's time to serve the court.
Don't let a single Tatar enter the city."
He beat the drum himself and aroused the atmosphere on the city to the extreme.
"Kill the Tartars" "Kill the Tartars" Wu Sangui squinted his eyes slightly, unable to see any emotion.
From the moment he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he no longer cared about the Manchus.
As long as he can gain glory, wealth and benefits, there is no problem in doing anything.
After going around in circles, he realized that all the words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were bullshit.
Only hard fists are the right thing to do.
Whoever has a strong fist can dominate the world, and whoever has a strong fist can establish order.
Why did Emperor Chongzhen hang himself on Meishan?
Isn't it because Li Zicheng's fists were harder?
Why was Li Zicheng so chased by Azig that he abandoned his armor and was trapped in Jiugong Mountain?
Wasn't it because Azig's fists were harder?
Those who understand the current affairs are heroes, Wu Sangui just followed the general trend.
If he had not surrendered Shanhaiguan, would it really be possible to defend the Han Dynasty if the Qing troops entered the Shanhaiguan?
Sooner or later, the Manchu Qing would still invade the Shanhaiguan.
It was only a matter of time.
Wu Sangui's offering of the Pass not only made him a huge profit, but also made the historical process of the Qing army's entry into the Pass much earlier.
Why not get the best of both worlds?
He made a surprise attack on Jingmen just to compete with Li Guo and Gao Yigong to see whose fist was stronger.
Originally he thought the city was about to be destroyed, but Huang Degong suddenly showed up and disrupted his entire plan.
He could only choose to withdraw his troops.
Maybe he couldn't defeat Li Guo and Huang Degong who joined forces.
But it's easy to deal with just a few cats and dogs.
He didn't even want to know who Yunyang's guard was now.
Because they are all rats, their names are not worthy of him knowing.
During the siege, Wu Sangui had no reservations at all.
He didn't want any accidents to happen, but he wanted to accomplish everything in one battle.
As long as Yunyang is captured, it will be equivalent to placing a force in Huguang, which can penetrate into the surrounding areas at any time.
At that time, even the unruly Azig will probably have to praise his own foresight.

Fight, kill He enjoyed the pleasure of crushing very much.
These stupid southerners actually tried to resist the elites under their command.
Then let them all die without burial.
Before the war began, Wu Sangui had issued strict orders to massacre the city after it was broken.
All soldiers and civilians, men and women, were killed.
He wanted to use the heads of the soldiers and civilians of Yunyang City to build a temple to deter those who tried to resist the Qing army without overestimating their own capabilities.
This is the policy that the Qing army has always pursued.
As for some casualties, Wu Sangui didn't care at all.
Although these are his private soldiers, as long as they can exchange for greater and more benefits, there is nothing wrong with sacrificing some.
The ladder has been set up against the city wall, and the ram is also hitting the city gate again and again.
At least so far everything is developing according to Wu Sangui's plan.
In his opinion, it is only a matter of time before the city is destroyed.
"Let the rolling logs and rocks roll, quickly"
Cao Fengnian roared angrily.
Many of the soldiers under his command lacked actual combat experience, so he had to remind these new recruits what to do by roaring again and again.
As for the veterans, it is much more worry-free.
They calmly threw the rolling logs and rocks from the crenel, and then quickly continued to carry them.
With the auxiliary soldiers, they only need to carry it a short distance, which is much less labor-intensive.
As for the large-scale city defense equipment such as nail bats, of course they also have their uses.
Each time the spike is lowered, it can cause great damage to the climbing Tatar.
Some Tatars managed to climb more than halfway up, and were beaten to pulp by the nails.
As for those Tatars who were lucky enough to escape the hammer, they were also knocked down by rolling logs and rocks, and they were seriously injured and wailed.
But there were obviously many Tartars, and every time one of them fell someone was sure to step forward to fill his place.
Cao Fengnian looked focused and did not dare to slack off at all.
Although they seem to have the upper hand now, God knows when things will change.
Cao Fengnian cannot afford to lose.
Behind him are tens of thousands of Yunyang people.
Whether these people can survive depends on whether he can defend the city.
The Tatars were well known for their ferocity, and Cao Fengnian would not expect them to be kind to the people after they broke the city.
Therefore, he must defend the city without any room for concession.
"Shoot the arrow quickly, pour the oil quickly" Cao Fengnian felt that he had no time to spare and had to instruct these soldiers on how to defend themselves.
The Tatar attack was very fast-paced and seemed to be deliberately forcing the Ming army to make mistakes.
As long as the Ming army accidentally made a mistake, it would immediately make another mistake.
This goes on and on.
Therefore, Cao Fengnian's nerves were like a taut string that dared not relax at all.
"Kill, kill" Cries of death were heard from everywhere.
Some were issued by the Ming army, and some were issued by the Qing army.
These sounds are intertwined with the sounds of rolling logs and rocks hitting people, as well as the rattling of teeth, creating a strange atmosphere.
On the battlefield, there is no regard for right or wrong, only life and death.
If you die, you will definitely be considered the wrong party.
Because the dead cannot speak to defend themselves, they can only let the victors pour dirty water on themselves.
Neither side wanted to lose or die, so they both tried their best.
You shoot an arrow at me, and I shoot one back at you.
Tooth for tooth, eye for eye.
Gradually, the Ming army also began to suffer casualties.

Whether it was the projectile from the trebuchet or the upward shot from the archer, it caused them a lot of trouble
