Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 301 Ning Jin Fights Again
This speed can be said to be quite fast. Before the Qing troops stationed in various places found out, Zhu Cihong had already captured the first city on the road.

It is a bit wrong to say that it is a city. This is actually the guard post of the Ming army. After it was captured by the Qing army, it was abandoned.

Because Mite Qing does not have a guard system, let alone so many troops stationed in various places, and they do not need this kind of military fortress with their strong field combat capabilities.

For decades, the people of the Ming Dynasty retreated into the city and were beaten. When will it be their turn to retreat into the city?

Under the influence of thinking inertia, Mite Qingbai did not expect to use cities and fortresses to block the Ming army when he returned to Liaodong.

Maybe they thought that the cold weather and long distances outside the pass would be their best fortress.

Because the distance from Beijing to Shenyang is as long as thousands of miles, and the journey is extremely cold, the water in some creeks has begun to freeze.

However, the capital is located in North China, and its latitude is only a little lower than that of Liaodong. No matter how big the climate difference is, it is not that big.

Mite Qing can adapt to the harsh climate outside the pass, and the Ming army can adapt even more. You must know that it was Daming who stationed troops outside the pass on a large scale.

About a week after the departure, the Ming army won consecutive battles all the way, and all the Qing troops threw away their helmets and armor and fled, or knelt down and begged for mercy.

Countless cities, towns and villages were recaptured by the Ming army, and tens of thousands of Han people were rescued by the Ming army, allowing them to regain their freedom and no longer be slaves to the Mitezhou people.

Finally, the Ming army arrived at the foot of Jinzhou City, a large city between Shenyang and the capital. Decades ago, it was densely populated and had many troops stationed there.

However, after a large-scale offensive and defensive battle between Houjin and Daming, with a total force of nearly 20, the city became devoid of vitality, and it no longer had the scenery of an important town in Liaodong in the past.

But today, the Ming army sent troops outside the pass, and the offensive and defensive positions of the two sides changed.

Today's Qing army is very small in number, and the total number in Liaodong is only [-] to [-]. However, due to supply difficulties and the hostile attitude of the Mongolian tribes along the way, the Jilhalang tribe has difficulty in moving on the Mongolian grasslands, and has been delayed. Return to Liaodong.

As for Jinzhou, the number of people is even smaller. Originally, for Mi Qing, after they had the ability to enter the main pass, the city was useless.

Now that Mite Qing has withdrawn troops from outside the pass, the troops are scarce, and there is no possibility of entering the main pass, so it is even more impossible to deploy heavy troops here for defense.

Most of them nestled in the Shengjing they managed with painstaking efforts. Under the service of countless slaves, they burned the warm kang, ate wine and meat, and planned to spend the winter happily.

On a high ground outside the city of Jinzhou, a group of knights wrapped in heavy clothes looked at the city of Jinzhou in the distance. The smoke in the city seemed very calm, as if the flames of war had not yet reached here.

"Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City are the important towns in Eastern Liaodong, and they are the important strongholds of our Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. For the sake of Ming's rule in Liaodong, and in order to go deep into Liting and sweep holes in Liaodong, these two cities must be taken down."

Zhu Cihong put down the binoculars in his hand and said firmly.

In fact, Zhu Cihong did not need to pull out these two nails when he went deep into Liaodong, because he had a large number of ships that could be used for supplies.

The reason why these two dilapidated cities were taken down was actually to avenge the hatred of the Jin army for attacking Ning Jin many years ago.

Although the Houjin army did not take these two cities at that time, and suffered a little loss on the contrary, it was because of their inability.

Ning Jin was the homeland of the Han family, how could Zhu Cihong not take it back.

So, after the Ningjin War, another large-scale battle broke out in Jinzhou City.

The Ming army did not immediately let the infantry attack the city wall with ladders and chariots, but first bombarded the city wall with heavy artillery, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders. By the way, the soldiers were asked to practice their hands and warm up.

The Ming army has recently manufactured a lot of light and heavy artillery, and equipped the light and heavy artillery that the Qing army did not destroy or take away when the Qing army was defeated. The number has reached an astonishing nearly one thousand.

This does not include rockets that are simple and easy to make. If these artillery are included, there may be as many as two thousand.

Originally, only [-]% of the soldiers in the Wuwei Qianjun were gunners, but they suddenly found that there were too many cannons. Most of the soldiers had to put down the firecrackers in their hands to help the gunners use the cannons.

In the end, [-]% to [-]% of the former Wuwei army, thousands of people were using artillery, and the task of guarding the artillery positions was only handed over to less than [-] cold weapon troops.

The current firepower advantage of the Ming army is so great that it can almost overwhelmingly attack the Jinzhou defenders. Even if it is pulled outside Shenyang City, the Qing army cannot defend it.

Steel bullets flew out of the gun barrel with a roar, and hit the city wall of Jinzhou with flames and strong flames.

Where the cannonballs were fired, the mite Qing defenders on the city wall were all crying in pain, and the tragic screams could be vaguely heard even hundreds of meters outside the city.

Occasionally, a shell hits the crowd impartially, and blood mist soaring into the sky and the remains of severed limbs flying into the sky can also be seen on the artillery position.

Jinzhou City, as an important town of the Ming army in Liaodong, naturally has a lot of fire artillery in the city, but only a few of the Qing army can use it, and most of them were either killed or captured on the battlefield in the pass. Brought back to Shenyang by Dorgon.

In addition, the Qing army stationed in Jinzhou did not know how to maintain the artillery. After more than ten years of wind and sun, these artillery were rusty and unusable.

Some Qing soldiers wanted to use the artillery on the city wall to fight stubbornly, but the gunpowder and projectiles had just been filled into the barrel, and as soon as the match was lit, the barrel exploded with a bang.

Even the countless gunpowder on the side of the cannon was ignited, and the bombed cannon and its surroundings suddenly seemed to have been bombarded by a modern large-caliber howitzer.

The shock wave of the explosion injured all the soldiers of the Qing army who were more than ten meters away, especially the Qing soldiers within a few meters of the center of the explosion, who were directly shocked by the powerful impact.

Seeing the big hole left on the city wall after the explosion, and the Qing army full of wreckage, even Tao Dingjun of the Wuwei Qianjun was dumbfounded.

"When was the blooming bomb developed?"

Flower bombs are high-explosive bombs with explosive power, which are different from ordinary iron bullets in this era.

Seeing the violent explosion just now, Tao Dingjun thought that other troops used artillery to fire explosive bombs.

The Ming army had so many artillery pieces that it was impossible for them all to be used by the former Wuwei army. The Jinwuwei had a large number of artillery pieces and needed to be equipped with some artillery pieces.

After round after round of bombardment, and several explosions from their own side, the Qing army defending the city finally gave up struggling.

When the Ming army infantry came to kill them, they quickly gave up resistance.
