"Let's just get here today." The sky was getting darker, and the hit rate of the bright army's artillery fire seemed to be declining. Lu Xiangsheng immediately issued an order to temporarily stop the attack. Although he did not take Shengjing City's defense in his eyes, he did not think that he could take it down on the first day. Today's attack result could satisfy him.

Looking at the city walls of Shengjing, after a day of baptism of artillery fire, the city walls were already devastated, with bullet holes of all sizes everywhere. The shells smashed the bricks outside, revealing the rammed earth inside, and the battlements on the top of the city were even more scattered, full of Jiannu's blood. The attack on the first day took away the lives of thousands of Jiannu. As for the injuries and disability, there were more. With the current medical level of Jiannu and the reality of scarcity of drugs in Shengjing, most of them had to wait to die. This hit morale even more serious than death. Perhaps someone could face death calmly, but no one would watch their friends lying in a pool of blood with few legs missing and wailing indifferent.

The Ming army's attack finally stopped. When the sound of artillery fire disappeared, there seemed to be a short cheer on the top of the city. The people seemed to be very glad that they had lived one more day, and Huang Taiji was also relieved. It seemed that Yuetuo and Bumubutai and others could have another one more time to escape, and they were farther away from the Ming army.

Dai Shan did not mention the sneak attack from the city again. He had already seen that the Eight Banners soldiers were scared by the Ming army and had no courage to go out of the city to take the initiative to fight. Just a few years ago, weren't the Ming army usually huddled in the city and shivered? Unexpectedly, it was their turn now. The changes in the world were really strange and unpredictable.

Lying on the bed, Huang Taiji couldn't sleep. Although it was quiet outside, there was still continuous roar of cannon fire in his ears. Even if he plugged his ears with cotton, it would have no effect. When he thought of tomorrow's war, he was completely sleepy. Finally, he simply got up and put on his clothes, lit the lights, and lay at the desk to study the map carefully.

But no matter what method he came up with, he would be quickly defeated by reality. After staying up all night, Huang Taiji did not come up with any strategy to get the Eight Banners out of the predicament. It was not until dawn that the call of the personal guards outside the door awakened him from this meaningless mental labor and came back to the city wall to prepare to command the army to welcome a new round of attacks.

The Ming army continued to attack the city head with cannons and muskets, and had no intention of sending people to attack the city. They actually wanted to use sufficient artillery shells and ammunition to kill Jiannu. The war made the soldiers of the Eight Banners full of anger. They could only passively be beaten at the city head and unable to launch a counterattack, which made them extremely depressed. But if they went out to fight, no one had the courage. Looking at the dense artillery fire and musket sounds, even if they went out, they would probably be immediately beaten into a sieve.

Such an attack lasted for three days, and Jiannu's casualties continued to increase, and the morale of the soldiers gradually disappeared. Lu Xiangsheng, who was under the city, finally waited for the opportunity he wanted. He slowly put down his telescope, "It seems that the time is almost over, and you can send troops to attack the city!"

"Shishuai Lu is still too cautious. If the last general is in charge, he may have started to attack the city the next day." Man Gui's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Shishuai Lu will hand over this task to the last general. The last general will definitely take Shengjing City and present it to Shuai Lu."

Man Gui's speech was still so straightforward, but Lu Xiangsheng was not a stingy person and did not take these things seriously. The attack on the city required Man Gui's spirit, so he immediately responded, "Then please Governor Man."

Man Gui was overjoyed and immediately went down to rectify the troops and commanded the army to rush towards the city wall. When the Eight Banners commander at the top of the city saw that the enemy finally began to attack the city, he quickly used a whip to force the soldiers to raise their bodies from behind the battlements, trying to stop the Ming army's attack. Unfortunately, Que was immediately shot back by cannons and muskets, which increased many casualties.

Using cannons and muskets to suppress the defenders on the city wall, Man Gui commanded the infantry to quickly approach the city wall, and ladders quickly laid on the city wall. The soldiers divided into two groups, one wave of fired muskets under the city as cover, and the other wave of soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall along the ladder.

When they arrived at the city, the Eight Banners soldiers around were about to surround them and fight with the Ming army in close combat and drove them down the city, but the Ming army did not give them such a chance. The Ming army soldiers took out a black, round thing from behind their waists and lit it and threw it over. Then, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the dense crowd, and the soldiers surrounding them were immediately injured and killed.

Explosions like this kept ringing at the city wall, and for a moment, the entire city wall became like hell, with the broken bodies of the Eight Banners warriors everywhere. On the other hand, the Ming army took this opportunity to quickly gain a foothold at the city wall. The continuous Ming army climbed up to the city wall along the gap they opened, attacked the remaining Eight Banners soldiers, and quickly defeated them, and began to go down the slanting ladder on the city wall, trying to occupy the city gate.

"Okay! Shengjing City is already in my Ming Dynasty." Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but praise, and Man Gui had already pulled out his treasure sword and led an elite cavalry to guard the outside of the city gate. When the city gate was opened inside, he immediately commanded the army to rush in and completely deal with the remaining resistance forces in the city.

"Boom!" With a bang, the gate of the south gate of Shengjing City turned into pieces, and a smooth road appeared in front of Man Gui.

"My boys, rush into the city with me!" Man Gui's face turned red with excitement. He rushed to the front with thousands of elite cavalry wearing breastplates and holding steel sabers behind him.

"Khan, let's go quickly. Shengjing City can no longer be defended." Several personal guards dragged Huang Taiji on their horses and prepared to rush towards the north gate that had not been surrounded by the Ming army.

It’s a pity that Man Gui’s cavalry has arrived in the city now, and the guards have forgotten to change Huang Taiji’s clothes in a hurry. They are soon discovered by Man Gui and are immediately caught in the pursuit of the Ming army.

"Khan quickly go." Several personal guards tried to use their lives to buy some time for Huang Taiji, but their few people could not delay Mangui's pursuit speed, and they were soon stepped on the cavalry under Mangui.

It seems that he is afraid he will die here this time. I hope Yuetuo and Bumubutai and others have already escaped. Seeing that they could no longer escape, Huang Taiji simply stopped and pulled out his waist to try to commit suicide.
