Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 303 Attacking Shengjing
So the Qing army, who wanted to go out of the city to destroy the progress of the Ming army's siege, couldn't even get out of the city gate. Every time they gathered at the gate of the city, they would be scattered by a large number of Ming army artillery below the city.

In this regard, the Qing army naturally had a way to deal with it, that is, to place its heavy artillery on the city wall, and then aim at the artillery positions of the Ming army to kill the artillery power of the Ming army.

It's just that the artillery of the Ming army is arranged outside the city, with a very wide space and a large number.

It was difficult for the Qing army's artillery to cause effective damage to the Ming army's artillery positions. Instead, it exposed its own position as soon as it fired.

So the Ming army concentrated their artillery to attack the Qing army's artillery. Often the Qing army's artillery fired only a few shots before being concentrated by the Ming army, and then the gunners and artillery were blasted into the sky.

This happened every time for two or three days in a row. At the end of the fight, no one from the Qing army dared to go out of the city to attack the Ming army's siege camp and the earth embankments built by the Ming army.

It's not that these Qing troops and the Eight Banners soldiers were afraid of fighting, but that the Ming army's firepower was too fierce, and the city gate was narrow and not enough for the army to quickly leave the city and set up their formation, so the Qing troops were unwilling to leave the city and die.

Even the gunners and a large number of artillery placed on the city wall suffered heavy losses due to the concentrated fire of the Ming army, so that in the end the warriors dared to shoot at the Ming army.

They were all afraid that as soon as they fired their guns, the Ming army would use all kinds of direct and curved firepower to attack them head-on. The place on the city wall was narrow, and they had no way to avoid the Ming army's artillery shells.

Even the Qing army defending the city near the artillery would take the initiative to stop the gunners from using the artillery, so as not to be fired back by the Ming army and harm the fish in Chi.

In this way, the Ming army was able to build siege equipment, build siege camps and siege embankments with peace of mind.

On the fourth day, the north wind roared, and the Ming army took up its posture, mainly gathering in the south of the city, ready to attack Shengjing, that is, Shenyang, under Zhu Cixiang's order.

"Soldiers, decades have passed since Shenyang fell, and I, Ming Dynasty, have finally come back. Our army has more than 2 soldiers, while the Qing army in the city only has more than [-] people, and some of them are just now. enlisted in the army."

"Sixty thousand versus twenty thousand, the advantage is mine, and destiny is on our side. Today is the end of the Qing Dynasty. For the future of the Ming Dynasty, and for the peace of the world, we must wipe out the Tatars in Shenyang today."

I saw Zhu Cixiang standing on an earthen platform, holding up an emperor's sword inlaid with precious stones and gold, and saying these words of encouragement to the soldiers.

"Sweep the enemy army, wipe out Shenyang City!"

Tens of thousands of troops stood in front of Zhu Cihong, waving their swords, guns, swords and halberds in response to Zhu Cihong's words.

Tens of thousands of them followed Zhu Cihong to Liaodong, their purpose was to completely defeat Mi Qing, and then return victorious, returning to the court as a teacher.

It's freezing here, not a single blade of grass grows in winter, and the cold wind howls. Standing outside at night can almost freeze people to death. Naturally, they are happy to quickly defeat the enemy army, and then return to the capital.

In addition, they did not encounter too much resistance along the way, so the soldiers of the Ming army felt contemptuous of the Qing army. Naturally, when Zhu Cihong encouraged them a little at this moment, their morale was high, and they wanted to rush in and kill the Qing army one by one. People dragged it out and chopped it up.

"Well, morale is available." Zhu Cixiang looked at the Ming army soldiers in front of him with a look of relief.

"send troops."

Zhu Cixi waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Ming army rushed towards Shenyang City one after another.

Of course, at the front of the team must be a large number of siege equipment, such as rams, shield cars, ladders, and countless other things.

At the same time, Dorgon, Daishan, and the nobles of Zhudaozhou who were standing on the Shenyang city tower looked at each other and sighed to each other after seeing the Ming army coming like a tsunami.

"The Qing Dynasty is over, and Jierhalang's army has not returned for a long time. It seems that Shengjing City will fall into the hands of the despicable Ming people today."

Just when everyone shook their heads and sighed, suddenly a little noble had a flash of inspiration and suggested, "We might as well retreat to Hetuala and delay the Ming army for a while, so we can wait for Jierhalang to bring the army back?" ?”

This idea is very good, but it is too idealistic, and I don't think that Zhu Cihong's tens of thousands of troops are not vegetarians, so how can he be given this opportunity.

Don't talk about Zhu Cihong, even Dorgon and other nobles can see this.

"Daydreaming." Dorgon only commented on the proposal of the little noble with these four words.

Under the bewildered eyes of the little nobleman, Daishan finally stood up and gave an explanation.

"The Ming army has tens of thousands of people, their combat effectiveness is not bad, and their supplies are guaranteed. Even if we escape to Hetuala, we will still be unable to escape the fate of destruction in the end."

"Not to mention the Han Chinese and other tribes who responded in groups in Liaodong."

"I really didn't expect that after decades of glory in the Qing Dynasty, we would end up with this country being ruined and our family destroyed." As he said that, some tears flowed out of the corners of Daishan's eyes, as if he had seen the fall of Shengjing after it was conquered. The miserable experience of the Europeans has happened.

But if Zhu Cihong was standing here, he would scold him as if he deserved it.

If Nurhachi hadn't been too ambitious at the beginning, for the sake of personal power, fame, and family prosperity, he raised troops to annex many tribes in Liaodong, and later attacked the Ming country, how could they have ended up like this today.

You know, although the officials of the Ming government are fucked up, they are not human, and they know how to exploit and blackmail all day long.

However, the Ming court treated these ethnic minorities quite favorably. As long as they were willing to live a stable life under the rule of Daming and regard the Emperor of Ming as their monarch, the court would allow them to live and work in peace and contentment in this land.

Of course, there is a little premise, that is, when the Han people enter here.

While they were talking, the huge wooden wheels of the siege equipment rolled on the ground and made a rumbling sound, which made Dorgon and others on the tower deafening.

Afterwards, the Ming army attacked the city with the help of ladder ants, and hit the city gate with a chariot.

There are also some special siege equipment, such as the siege tower taller than the city wall of Shenyang. Ming army officers and soldiers entered it, and they could have a high advantage when attacking the city.

After nearly two hours of continuous fighting, Shenyang City was finally breached. First a corner, and then large sections of the city wall were all occupied by the Ming army and the Ming flag was planted.

Most of the Qing troops defending the city were killed on the spot, and only a few fled to the city, or surrendered on their knees, and survived.

And Dorgon Daishan and others, naturally committed suicide on the city gate tower.

The Qing Dynasty that they had devoted their efforts and efforts to was finished, and naturally they had nothing to live for.

But it wasn't until Zhu Cihong entered the imperial palace built by Miqing in Shenyang that he thought that the city had been captured by him and that Qingqing had been destroyed by himself.
