The Later Jin attacked fiercely for a whole morning without getting any advantage, and there were many casualties. However, Yuan Chonghuan knew that Nurhaci was a heroic figure and would not have just made such tricks. The battle against the city was originally good at defending the city, but after the battle in the morning, the casualties of the siege side and the guarding the city were almost equal. The most elite iron-armored army used by the Later Jin army to attack the city, and the combat power was extremely strong. If it was placed in the field, the army he had worked hard to pull out was not an enemy at all.

Yuan Chonghuan's calmness gave the Ming soldiers who felt short when they saw the Later Jin army. Under the correct command of the commander, the morale of the defenders was high and they repelled the fierce attacks of the Later Jin again and again. It was not until Nurhaci temporarily stopped the siege that the generals in Ningyuan City, including Yuan Chonghuan, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly entered the re-arrangement, rescued the wounded, and formulated corresponding defensive strategies.

What made Yuan Chonghuan a headache was that he had too few troops in his hands and there was not much food in the city. He could only support him for half a month at most. Judging from Nurhaci's attitude today, he was determined to win this time. How could he miss such a good opportunity? Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise Ningyuan City would have fallen into the opponent long ago.

"Master General, the letter we sent to Shanhaiguan to ask the Lord of the Strategies to send reinforcements is long overdue. Why haven't reinforcements arrived yet?" Man Gui is a Mongolian man with a straightforward and stupid temperament. He asks whatever he wants?

Zu Dashou sneered: "General Man, you expect that Gao Zhengluo will come to us. I'm afraid we will have become a pile of bones!"

"General Zu Chan, what are you saying? Our Ningyuan City is also the city of the court. If he does not send troops to rescue us, if the court blames us in the future, how many heads will he have?" Man Gui said in an unhappy buzzing voice. Although the two often bickered, their relationship was the best among all Yuan Chonghuan's generals.

Zu Dashou scoffed at Man Gui's words and fought back: "That bastard Gao Di wants our Grandmaster to be finished. Besides, the current court does not know the final word of our emperor. As long as someone takes the blame for him, what can you do to him?"

Although Man Gui is honest and brave, he is not a wise man. However, Ningyuan City is surrounded by a group of more than 100,000 troops, and he feels angry and wants to vent his anger. He just stops talking after being pushed by Zu Dashou.

Zhao Rujiao worriedly said to Yuan Chonghuan who was sitting on the coach's chair with his eyes closed and thinking: "Master, what should we do now? With Nurhaci's current offensive intensity, we may not be able to hold on for five days."

Yuan Chonghuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the generals in the hall and said, "What I am worried about is the tens of thousands of dans of food and grass on Juehua Island. If Nurhaci gets it, we will be in trouble."

"The general is too worried. There are thousands of elite soldiers on the island and on the sea. There is no navy in the Later Jin Dynasty, so we can't do anything to you!" Zu Dashou said.

Yuan Chonghuan stared at Zu Dashou and said, "You are more brave and less intelligent. You don't think about what season it is now. The sea is frozen and you don't need the navy Nurhaci to capture Juehua Island at any time!"

Zu Dashou stepped back embarrassedly, looked around embarrassedly, and found that no one laughed at him at this time, so he raised his head.

"Report..."

A small soldier ran all the way and knelt before the commander's case, saying, "Report to the commander, the enemy has begun to attack the city again!"

"Let's go up to the city tower!" Yuan Chonghuan stood up and turned around and picked up his helmet and rushed out. Zu Dashou, Man Gui and others followed him one after another, hurriedly running up the city tower.

When Fu Jiang Zuo Fu saw the coach going up the city tower, he hurriedly came over and said, "Master, Nurhaci has changed his playing style and desperately sent people to dig our city foundation everywhere, trying to collapse our city wall!"

Yuan Chonghuan and the generals behind him took a breath. Nurhaci was not only resourceful, but also prepared. In such a short time, he thought of a way to attack the city. Under the guard of the shield, he looked under the city wall. He was so handsome that Nurhaci actually put the soldiers in a car wrapped in an iron sheet and transported them to the city wall. Under the protection of the iron sheet, he desperately dug the walls of the city wall. Such iron goosebumps, bows, arrows, and muskets were not effective, and the red cannon was even more useless. It was a self-digging grave. Yuan Chonghuan was worthy of Yuan Chonghuan. He immediately thought of a way to deal with it and immediately ordered the stones that were big and hard in Ningyuan City to gather up and smash them down to see if he was strong or hard.

A series of stones were smashed down, and many Eight Banners soldiers were killed. The attack of the Later Jin Dynasty slowed down a lot, but it did not stop the Later Jin Dynasty from attempting. Instead, more iron cars were rushing under the city.

Zhu Yinglong and others who were watching the battle, hiding more than ten miles away, didn't understand what Nurhaci was doing at first. Didn't he let his people die? Later, he realized Nurhaci's intention. He used to dig tunnels to attack the city flexibly. Now in this season, the temperature is very low, and the soil is frozen like a stone. It is extremely stupid to attack the city by digging tunnels. It is better to surround it without hitting it. As long as you dig dozens of holes in the city wall, even the strongest wall will not escape collapse.

The danger of collapse was that the long dike of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant hole. Nurhaci's strategy was endless, but Yuan Chonghuan, who was guarding the city, was not a weak person. He immediately thought of the other party's goal, smashed the digging enemy with stones, and indirectly strengthened the city walls. In this way, if Nurhaci wanted to achieve his goal, he needed to clear the huge rocks under the city, but the premise was that there were enough stones in Ningyuan City, otherwise Nurhaci would continue to change the location, and the defenders on Ningyuan City could only sigh.

"Prince, do you see if General Yuan can defend Ningyuan City?" Lu Haotian observed for a long time, turned his head and asked Zhu Yinglong.

Zhu Yinglong was stunned. His original confidence in Yuan Chonghuan suddenly had a rift. Not to mention anything else, this war was nearly twenty days late, and history had changed. Since there was a change, Zhu Yinglong had doubts in his heart. His confidence in whether Yuan Chonghuan could defend Ningyuan City and whether he could achieve the first Liaojin Victory. If Yuan Chonghuan could not defend Liaoyuan, how could the mediocre talent of Gaodi defend Shanhaiguan, the Ming Dynasty would be in danger. Zhu Yinglong's series of associations churned in his mind, and forgot to answer Lu Haotian's question for a moment.

"Li Niang believes that Uncle Yuan will definitely be able to defend Ningyuan City and defeat Nurhaci!" Although Xiong Hu's words were a little blind and confident, her firm tone woke Zhu Yinglong up in a daze, thinking to himself, what's wrong with him? After all, he is a later generation who knows history. Why is even the trust of those who don't know the ending in this time and space that the heroes admired by Chinese people in later generations is not as good as that.

Zhu Yinglong figured this out and smiled confidently, saying, "I believe that General Yuan will definitely defeat Nurhaci like Li Niang!"
