Nurhaci shouted crazily: "Come on, take Xin'an Fort for me at all costs, I will hang all the Ming troops."
Huang Taiji advised: "Father, the casualties are too great, think of other ways."
Nurhachi said angrily: "If you don't capture Xin'an Fort no matter what you think of, how can I, Dajin, save my face?
You must think of a way to capture Xin'an Fort."
Huang Taiji replied: "Father, I think the power of the Ming army's artillery and muskets will be greatly reduced at night.
Please ask Father Khan to let me attack the city at night."
Nurhaci thought for a while and said: "This method is indeed good.
If you can't see it at night, the power is reduced, but our armored soldiers can't see it the same way?"
Huang Taiji said: "Although we can't see it, we are less affected in close combat, so our combat power will increase invisibly, and the Ming army will decrease.
Compared with fighting during the day, we have an advantage at night."
Nurhaci nodded, feeling that his son had finally come up with a more reliable idea, so he ordered, "Mingjin withdraws the troops and fights again at night."
Huang Taiji vaguely felt that it was not a good idea to withdraw his troops now, as he was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of the Ming army.
But he couldn't object, because this was a method he came up with.
He couldn't continue the attack and use the lives of the Dajin soldiers to eliminate the Ming army's suspicion.
When the Hou Jin soldiers heard the sound of gold, they were overjoyed and immediately began to retreat, leaving hundreds more corpses behind in the process.
After the Jin soldiers retreated, Lu Qin became suspicious.
He summoned the generals of the Guards to discuss the meaning of establishing slaves.
Artillery battalion commander Zhao Shunchen said: "What's the point?
Our artillery fire was too fierce and the slave chief couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to retreat."
Xue Boling shook his head and said: "Although Jiannu suffered heavy losses, if he swarmed up, it would still be possible to capture Xin'an Fort, but in that case their losses would be too great.
The slave chiefs suffered losses on Juehua Island and Liaonan, and now I'm so angry that I can't order the troops to withdraw after attacking for a while."
Lu Qin nodded and said: "That's true.
The slave chief suddenly withdrew his troops.
This general felt something was wrong.
To say that the slave chief was afraid and therefore withdrew his troops, this should not be the case.
He must have reinforcements coming or something new. method to attack the city."
Xue Boling said: "Reinforcements are impossible, because now Jiannu's troops have been exhausted.
We can only say that they have a way to attack the city."
Zhao Shunchen shouted: "Is there any way that they can capture Xin'an Fort besides attacking with the whole army?"
Lu Qin touched his hair and began to think about what weapons Jiannu could have to attack the city.
After thinking about it, he found that there was no idea at all.
Even though some of the artillery in Guangning had been acquired by Jiannu, the power of those artillery was not comparable to that of the current guards.
Compared with the army's artillery.
Everyone is thinking, it is obvious that the Jiannu firepower is at a disadvantage, how can they make a comeback?
After a while, the second brigade commander Gui Shuzhen said uncertainly: "Will Jiannu launch a night attack?"
Zhao Shunchen immediately objected: "It is true that we can't see the night attack, but they can't see it the same way.
What's the difference between that and the daytime attack?"
Xue Boling slapped his forehead and said: "Brother Gui, the great talent, finally solved my doubts.
We can't see the enemy at night, and firearms can't cause much damage to them.
And the city wall is here, they can always climb up."
Lu Qin glanced at Gui Sunzhen appreciatively and said, "In this case, we have to think of a good way.
Attacking at night is indeed our weakness."
At this time, the quartermaster said: "Last time, the capital gave us a batch of new weapons.
It is said that they were adapted from Qi Shuai's self-inflicted steel wheel fire.
The new name on it is landmines.

This thing can only be triggered by waiting for the enemy to step on it." , cannot actively attack the enemy, so it has not been used in the warehouse. " Lu Qin thought for a while and said: "I heard you mention this last time.
It is also one of the weapons for testing.
I have never had the opportunity to use it before, so I forgot about it.
Burying them in front of the city wall will be just right to prevent the Jiannu from sneak attacks. ” Gui said frankly: "We can also use more fire starters outside the city wall.
Once the mine explodes, it can ignite, which can guide our firearms in the direction."
Xue Boling also said: "Sprinkling iron caltrops on the ground can block the advancement of the slaves."
Zhao Shunchen interjected: "First boil the caltrops in poison, will the effect be better?"
The quartermaster replied: "Boil it in gold juice and stab it, and one leg will be basically useless."
The generals were busy discussing how to deal with Jiannu's night attack, while the quartermaster sent people to the warehouse to get mine instructions.
Lu Qin ordered Xue Boling to lead a battalion to clean up the corpses of Jiannu in front of the city.
He asked that the corpses of Jiannu be used as obstacles as much as possible so that the Houjin soldiers who attacked at night could only advance along a certain route, and then asked Gui Shuzhen to lead a battalion to learn how to use landmines.
Arrangement method.
In the evening, Gui Shuzhen and his men began to lay mines, and then sprinkled caltrops boiled with golden juice dung water and a large amount of hay and other fire starters in the gaps, just waiting for the night attack of the slaves.
The Guards were ordered to rest in full armor and be ready to join the battle at any time.
Just after midnight, the explosion of landmines was heard outside the city wall.
The soldiers immediately got up and came to the city wall to participate in the battle.
The mine explosion ignited the surrounding dry grass, making it an excellent target for artillery and musketry.
A large amount of ammunition poured into the Jiannu who could be illuminated by the fire, and the shells detonated more mines, causing the entire north side of the city wall to burst into flames, making the entire sky red.
The sneak attack on Jiannu turned into an open attack, and now we are in a state where the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, and we have become a living target for a while.
Moreover, the caltrops hidden in the hay also stung the feet of a large number of Hou Jinjia soldiers, causing them to lose their combat effectiveness.
In order to keep the flames alive, the Ming army also built two simple trebuchets to throw the bales into the burning haystacks, making the fire burn even bigger.
The Hou Jin army came to climb the wall with full confidence, but they encountered this unexpected blow and their morale was greatly reduced.
Huang Taiji originally thought that he understood the weakness of the Ming army's firearms, which were greatly reduced in power at night, but he didn't expect the Ming army to use new methods to easily turn the disadvantage into an advantage.
Instead, the Hou Jin army was restrained and was easily regarded as a weapon by the Ming army's firearms. target.
When the Houjin soldiers finally ran to the bottom of the city wall and raised a simple ladder to attack the city, the lit hay bales fell from the top.
After landing, the gunpowder in the hay bales ignited and exploded, and balls of phosphorus fire touched them.
There was no way to kill the golden armored soldiers.
The screams mixed with the unpleasant smell of burning flesh turned the city wall into a hell
