Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 382 Eating Salty Carrots and Not Worrying (Thanks to the Hall Master of ZhengyuanHX for the reward)
In fact, with the battle at this point, the cavalry no longer needed to risk casualties for cover, and it was actually quite normal to retreat at this time.

However, in the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng on the top of the city, this movement is another very good sign.This made him more confident, staring at the Jianlu cavalry, he felt that there might be a follow-up.

Sure enough, after Jianlu's cavalry army withdrew from the battlefield, they immediately regrouped, and then hurriedly headed towards Liaodong without resting!

"That's right! It must be that the Guanning army invaded the hinterland of Liaodong, and the cavalry of Jianlu didn't even take a break. They immediately attacked as soon as they got off the battlefield!" Lu Xiangsheng pointed excitedly at the movement of Jianlu's cavalry in the distance. said loudly.

His personal guards were also very excited when they heard this.Although this battle is not over yet, in their hearts, the winner has already been decided.

"Bring my bow and arrows!" Lu Xiangsheng was excited to join the battle in person. His personal guards did not hesitate after hearing this, and immediately offered bows and arrows. At this time, why don't you kill a few more Jian captives, and wait for the Jian captives to escape? I am afraid that there will be no chance to continue killing within the time.

Outside the city, teams of Jianlu infantry rushed to the bottom of the city wall carrying the ladders. The heavy ladders leaned against the city wall one after another, and then Jianlu yelled and pulled back hard.The hook at the top of the ladder immediately hooked the battlements firmly.

In the blink of an eye, Jianlu, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately began to climb the ladder and attack the city.

At the same time, Jianlu's catapult also received Huang Taiji's order and began to extend its attack.A stone bullet the size of a millstone smashed into the city wall with a sharp whistling sound.Every time a stone bomb falls, there will be a huge "boom" sound, and then countless mud and stones will be splashed.

The soldiers of the Ming army and the Korean army were unlucky, if they were smashed right on the ground, they would be turned into meat; but if they were unlucky, they would just be hit by arms and legs, or by flying debris. Then all cry out in pain.

War, at this time, is disowned by relatives, and will not be lenient because of justice or not.

Of course, the remaining Hongyi cannons on the top of the city are still roaring, and from time to time you can see the catapults outside the city, no matter whether they are throwing bombs or not, suddenly "crash" and collapse like paper. Jianlu, who was busy underneath, lost his arms and limbs, and his head was bleeding.

In the distance, Huang Taiji, although the blood from the corners of his mouth had been wiped away, his face was extremely gloomy. He kept staring at the top of Pyongyang city, and saw a ladder erected on the top of the city. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty began to climb up one after another. The Ming army and North Korean soldiers on the top of the city were obviously suppressed by the catapults, archers, etc. of the Qing Dynasty. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but their ability to fight back seemed to be much weaker. He felt a little relieved.

As long as the Qing warriors attack the top of the city, there are only a few defenders in the city, and they will definitely not be able to defend it, and the city of Pyongyang will be destroyed!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Qing army is about to attack!" Seeing this, Fan Wencheng couldn't help being delighted, and quickly said to Huang Taiji.No matter what, Huang Taiji is in a bad mood, so let's have fun at this time, congratulations, maybe it can ease his mood!

However, after hearing what he said, Huang Taiji turned his head and glanced at him. The eyes were not the usual kind and friendly, but... but the color of cannibalism and hatred, which made Fan Wencheng's heart suddenly Surprised, I don't know where I said the wrong thing.He couldn't bear Huang Taiji's eyes, so he knelt down involuntarily.

When Huang Taiji saw him kneeling down, he came back to his senses.The reason why he stared at Fan Wencheng so much just now was because Dorgon also mentioned in Dorgon's memorial that he saw Wu Zhong, the son-in-law beside the Ming Emperor, and the Ming Emperor personally confirmed that Wu Zhong was the Ming Emperor's son-in-law. According to the emperor's order, he was deliberately captured by the Qing Dynasty and sneaked into Liaodong.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but grit his teeth again.Unexpectedly, not only did he lose a daughter, but he also revealed the inside story of Liaodong.It's ridiculous that I still hope that he can cooperate with the big salt merchants of the Ming Dynasty to provide enough grain and grass supplies for the Qing Dynasty.Maybe, the Dongjiang Army will reappear in Liaodong, and even the Ming Dynasty personally sits in charge of the Dongjiang Army as the governor. Behind all this, he has a contribution from Wu Zhong.

In the old blood he vomited before, there is Wu Zhong's credit.

Dorgon also said in the memorial that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally confirmed that other Han people did not sincerely surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and many people had connections with the Ming Dynasty. If possible, they would immediately rebel against the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty. The country is not necessarily.

Thinking of this, in Huang Taiji's mind, he couldn't help thinking of another past event that made him gnash his teeth: Liu Aita, in the Ming Dynasty, he should be called Liu Xingzuo. After entering the Qing Dynasty, he even became the first-class military officer of the Qing army. However, he secretly contacted Yuan Keli, the former governor of Denglai, and tried to bring Jinzhou to the Ming Dynasty.Although he failed in the end, he still continued to play with Qing's trust in him, and even faked his death and turned to Ming. It was ridiculous that he thought he was really dead and held a grand funeral for him.

Now in the Qing Dynasty, how many Han people still harbor dissent?

Thinking so, Huang Taiji lowered his head and stared at Fan Wencheng's money-mouse-tailed head, and suddenly came to his senses, this Fan Wencheng, at least, shouldn't be that kind of person.Although he is a Han Chinese, he is really loyal to the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking of this, he calmed down a little, and said lightly: "Get up, you haven't done anything wrong, so you don't need to kneel down every now and then!"

"The slave is loyal to His Majesty and the Qing Dynasty, and the world can learn from it!" Fan Wencheng heard this, and immediately kowtowed vigorously, and replied loudly with a "dong dong dong".

Seeing this situation, Huang Taiji was in a better mood, got off his horse, walked over in person, stretched out his hand to help him up and said: "I know it too, you don't need to worry too much."

Fan Wencheng's talent is there, so he can't be chilled.

As for the other Han people, after this incident, they will be sorted out one by one, and those who dare to have two hearts will be killed without mercy!

The murderous intent in his heart flashed by, Huang Taiji changed his mood, patted Fan Wencheng who had stood up on the shoulder and said: "You and I will watch together, the beautiful moment when the city of Pyongyang is destroyed!"

Fan Wencheng is also a tall man, when he saw that Huang Taiji was going to pat him on the shoulder, he immediately bent down so that Huang Taiji could pat him on the shoulder comfortably, and at the same time, he showed a charming smile on his face: "Your Majesty is right, the servant also likes to watch The moment the city was broken, and the moment when the warriors of the Qing Dynasty ascended the top of the city, I really wanted to draw such a scene as a commemoration!"

Saying this, he and Huang Taiji turned their heads to look at the Pyongyang city in the distance.

At this time, many warriors of the Qing Dynasty were climbing up the ladders that had already reached the city wall.Those who climb the fastest are almost climbing up.

The soldiers of the Ming army and the Korean army on the top of the city tried to push away those ladders, but the iron hooks were firmly hooked on the battlements, and it was not easy to push them away at all.When the spear stabs out, the body is often exposed on the battlements, and it will immediately attract shots from the Qing archers outside the city.

"Your Majesty, my servant guessed that they will attack immediately over there!" Fan Wencheng saw this and pointed in one direction with joy.

Huang Taiji nodded when he heard that, he was watching, so he naturally had a judgment, just like Fan Wencheng, he also felt that that side would be the first to climb to the top of the city.

While they were all watching, suddenly, on the top of the city of Pyongyang, things were thrown from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, with a trail of gunpowder smoke.

Just looking at it like this, Huang Taiji's heart skipped a beat, it looked a little familiar.

Immediately, some of the things thrown from the top of the city bounced up, and then burst into flames and smoke; while some, when they landed, had already spewed out a lot of flames, and quickly fell on the ground. It was spinning, and at the same time, a lot of smoke was sprayed out.

It was just a moment of effort, and the flames sprayed on the Qing warriors under the ladder, and immediately caught fire.

If it's just breathing fire, it's actually nothing.The key point is that the smoke is obviously poisonous. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty on the ladder and the warriors of the Qing Dynasty under the ladder did not continue to climb up and attack. They covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and some people even fell directly from the ladder. down.

"The enemy of ten thousand people!" Huang Taiji's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a voiceless voice.

He finally remembered that in the third year of Chongzhen, he led the army into the pass for the first time, and crossed the capital.The important towns of Zunhua, Jizhen, Yongping Mansion, etc. in the Ming Dynasty were all captured by the Qing Dynasty.However, the front of the army was finally blocked by the little Changli County.Even when Huang Taiji came in person and led an army to attack the small city of Changli, he failed in the end.

At that time, one of the weapons used to defend the city of Changli was very powerful, and it was very suitable for the battle of defending the city.Unexpectedly, many years later, I saw them again in Pyongyang City.

Afterwards, he also learned that this kind of enemy is filled with gunpowder in porcelain, mixed with poisons such as arsenic, and fixed with a wooden frame.After being thrown from the top of the city, it will breathe fire and poison, which will have a huge impact on the attacking party, either being burned or smoked by poisonous smoke.And the defenders on the top of the city, because they are covered by the city wall, will not have any influence on them.

"Defeated, defeated..." No need to continue reading, Huang Taiji already knew the result in his heart, so he couldn't help muttering to himself.

In the third year of Chongzhen, although Fan Wencheng also entered the pass with the army, he did not participate in the Battle of Changli, but was ordered to guard Zunhua, so he had never seen such a weapon for defending the city.However, he has heard about it and studied it afterwards.

At this time, when he heard that Huang Taiji had lost his confidence, he hurriedly played to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, this ten thousand enemy is not invincible. When we attack the city next time, our army will wrap our mouth and nose with a wet cloth, which will reduce the risk of death." The influence of poisonous smoke on the warriors of the Qing Dynasty. And this kind of enemy, the most powerful is no more than that kind of poisonous smoke..."

Speaking of this, he saw that Huang Taiji didn't seem to respond, so he immediately added: "Your Majesty, this kind of enemy of thousands consumes gunpowder and medicinal materials, so Lu Xiangsheng will definitely not have too much."

The explanation is so clear, Huang Taiji should be able to listen to it, right?According to past practice, he might praise himself when he recovers!

Fan Wencheng thought so, but saw Huang Taiji showing a wry smile, his mental state seemed to have been hit hard, and he seemed to cry and said: "Do I still have time to spend in Pyongyang? I can still bet that Lu Xiangsheng is gone." Any other means of defending the city?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Wencheng was immediately speechless.

He hadn't seen those urgent memorials for eight hundred miles, and naturally he didn't have as many thoughts about the entire battle situation as Huang Taiji.At this time, he was just discussing the matter, using his mind to solve Huang Taiji's worries and problems!But this time, he obviously failed.

"Boom boom boom..."

At this time, there was a sudden burst of intensive gunfire.

Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng subconsciously turned their heads to look at the sound.

On the Datong River, ten warships of the Ming Army Navy lined up, taking risks, approached the side of the battlefield, and began to shell.

On the top of the city, the Hongyi cannons of the Ming army never stopped, and they would ring out from time to time.Echoing with the warship, it was like playing a piece of battlefield music.

With a "crash", another catapult was hit by an iron bullet and fell apart.

Seeing all this, Huang Taiji finally sighed, and ordered weakly: "Ming Jin withdraws!"

Before, he felt that although he would pay a higher price, as long as he could take Pyongyang City and wipe out the Dongjiang Army of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, he would still make money.

But now, he can already understand that this first wave of offensive will definitely not be able to defeat Pyongyang City.If you want to capture Pyongyang City, like this first offensive, you have to come several times to consume the defenders and equipment, so that you can break through Pyongyang City!

However, he really ran out of time, he had to lead the main force back to Liaodong immediately, and fight the Ming emperor, that was the most important event.

Following Huang Taiji's order, the sound of "dang, clang, clang" sounded from Jianlu's side, spreading throughout the battlefield.

Jianlu, who had already made it clear that he could not attack the top of the city, receded like a tide.

They helped away the injured companion, carried away the corpse of the companion, and tried their best to push the catapult, trying to withdraw from the battlefield.

Witnessing this scene, the defenders on the top of the city suddenly cheered.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"we won!"

"..."

The Hongyi cannon continued to roar. At this time, without the interference of Jianlu archers and catapults, the cannonballs were extremely accurate.

With a "boom", a slowly retreating catapult outside the city collapsed with a crash.

With a "boom", another catapult that was slowly retreating collapsed with a crash.

When every catapult was smashed to pieces by the iron bullets, the defenders on the top of the city cheered loudly.

Suddenly, a horse galloped out of Jianlu's main formation, galloping along the catapult to deliver orders.Then, seeing those Jianlu pushing the catapult, they let go of the catapult one after another, let go of their feet and fled.

This scene stunned the defenders on the city: What does Jianlu mean?If these two catapults are no longer needed, what will they do next time they attack the city?
Just as they were eating carrots and worrying less, some soldiers in the central army where Lu Xiangsheng was in had already shouted loudly: "The imperial army has invaded Liaodong, and the Jian captives are about to retreat!"
