Chapter 280: The Tartar's Last Struggle
As the capital of the Eastern Empire, Shengjing has been built very well, and there are many private houses everywhere.
Don't think that everything will be fine if you attack Shengjing, as a powerful regime that has been entrenched in Liaodong for many years, it is impossible to destroy it casually.
The Qi family's army Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and Jinyi Wei East and West Factory, etc., are all men and horses summoned by Zhu Youzhen from the system, and if the real Ming army is used to recover Liaodong, it is impossible for three or five years.
Now that Zhu Youzhen's system has closed the interface for summoning people and horses, these people can be said to have one less casualty.
Sheng Jingjing has been breached, Qi Jiguang doesn't want the soldiers to fall in the dark night before dawn, even a casualty must be avoided as much as possible.
It is precisely because of this that he asked the emperor to send the brocade guards and factory guards, they are all masters of the Ouchi, and they are the existence of flying eaves and walls, which are very suitable for attacking the spearmen and archers hidden in the private houses.
Qinglong Cao Zhengchun Yuhuatian and the three of them, hearing Qi Jiguang's order, immediately waved their hands to their subordinates, and more than a thousand masters immediately turned around, took out the prepared flowering bombs and shields from the supply vehicle behind, and then jumped on the private house, all running on the roof.
"Governor, we're coming."
As soon as Qinglong and the others left, Liu Wenxiu led the sharpshooter team to arrive and reported to Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang looked back and saw that they were all wearing heavy armor, and nodded with satisfaction:
"The commander and the two overseers have gone up, you follow, pay attention to concealment and protect yourself, and if you find an opponent, kill them immediately."
"Yes"
Liu Wenxiu received the order, and immediately divided the hundred sharpshooters into seven or eight groups, and scattered forward with shields in hand, and they had just walked a few dozen steps when suddenly a bow and arrow were fired.
Some of the team members were hit by arrows in the front and back, but with heavy armor in their bodies, they immediately formed a small shield formation with their shields to block the rain of arrows, and at the same time extended their flintlock pistols through the gaps in their shields.
"My lord, there is an Eastern Tartar archery on the second floor in front."
A brocade guard found that someone in the room had released arrows, and immediately reported to Qinglong, who waved his hand:
"If you see any movement, you can act yourself without asking for instructions."
"Yes"
More than a dozen brocade guards agreed, and quickly swept towards the house where the arrows had just been fired, stepped on the roof, and threw the flower bullet in their hands into the room through the hole in the roof.
"Boom ......"
The flowering bombs immediately exploded in the room, and someone could be heard wailing, and no tartars came out, and the brocade guard then threw several flowering bullets into it.
"Boom ......"
This time, the Tartars who were hiding in the room began to run out desperately, and Liu Wenxiu and others immediately raised their guns and pulled the trigger, and immediately killed the Tartars who escaped.
There were more than a dozen gunmen in ambush on the roof of another house, and when they saw their companions killed, they immediately lit the Vulcan spear in their hands and tried to sneak up on Jinyiwei.
The fuse had not burned out yet, and suddenly felt a cold back erection neck, and then the head fell to the ground, and the Vulcan spear was also kicked away by Dongchang Fanzi.
"Bang Bang"
The Vulcan fell down the street before the ammunition was fired.
In a dilapidated courtyard, because it has been uninhabited for a long time, it is overgrown with half-human deep artemisia grass, and in the tall grass there is actually a red-coated cannon.
The overpowering Artemisia grass in front was artificially re-propped up, and the five Tartars hid behind the Artemisia grass, and the shells were all loaded, and if you look at it from the ground, you really can't see anything if you don't fire the cannons.
As soon as Cao Zhengchun swept over the roof here, he saw the situation in the courtyard, and the big eunuch couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He could imagine how much damage a single shell would do to the dense ranks of the Ming army as a large army passed by.
As soon as his feet moved, Cao Zhengchun fell silently behind the tartar.
"Bang Bang ......"
The Tiangang Divine Fist bombarded the backs of the two Tartars without warning, directly knocking them away for more than ten meters, and the other three Tartars were taken aback, raising their scimitars and slashing behind them.
"Humph......"
Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly, and quickly threw three punches, breaking the scimitar and killing the three Tartars on the spot.
"Overseer."
At this time, several Dongchang fans fell beside Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zhengchun looked around, pointed to a two-story house not far away and said:
"Turn the muzzle of the gun over and fire a shot over there."
A few fans looked embarrassed:
"Overseer, my subordinates won't open fire, what if they are injured by mistake."
Cao Zhengchun's eyes widened:
"Our people are in the opposite direction, where did you get the ability to be injured by mistake, quickly turn the muzzle of the cannon, whether it can hit or not, shoot the cannonball out first."
"Yes"
Several Dongchang fans immediately moved the muzzle of the cannon to a radius, and then ignited the lead of the redcoat cannon.
"Boom ......"
A cannon rang out, and the shells bombarded a house more than 30 meters away from Cao Zhengchun's designated house, which means that the target was offset by more than 30 meters.
The two fans scratched their heads in embarrassment, a little embarrassed:
"Overseer, we really don't know how to shoot."
"Boom"
Before the two of them could finish speaking, the house they hit collapsed, but something unexpected happened to them, and more than a dozen Tartars escaped from the collapsed house.
As soon as the Tartars escaped from the collapsed house, Yuhuatian's figure appeared beside them, followed by a few more Xichang fans.
I saw several sword lights flashing, and the heads of the Tartars flew into the air.
After Yuhuatian killed the Tartar, the sword in his hand pointed at Cao Zhengchun:
"Great eunuch, don't don't shoot blindly, and almost blow up our family......"
Cao Zhengchun's old face turned red, and he hugged his fists at Yuhuatian, and then ordered Xichang Fanzi to overthrow the red-clothed cannon, and then quickly left here and continued to look for the next target.
Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Xichang Fanzi, along the way, kept throwing flower bombs from the roof to the private house, and the Tartars wanted to attack on the ground, but they ignored the roof and were killed one after another.
Some of the Tartars, who were not killed by the flowering shells, were shot and killed by the sharpshooters as soon as they escaped from the room.
A road was finally cleared by them, and more than 2,000 Tartars and Clothed Slaves were killed, and the army was killed in front of the Tartar Palace.
Subsequently, Sun Chuanting, Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan, Huang Degong, Yue Fei and others also led troops to arrive, and the Dongzhu Palace was surrounded by the Ming army.
Da Yu'er didn't expect that this would be able to block the Ming army's attack, her main purpose was to use street fighting to drag the Ming army, so that the remaining Tartar nobles could withdraw into the palace.
After the Ouchi masters and the sharpshooters cleared the road, almost all the nobles in the Eastern Exile had withdrawn to the Shengjing Palace, and Da Yu'er's tactics were also somewhat effective.
But what is the effect of escaping into the palace, it is not the same as being surrounded, and it is still tightly surrounded, and it is difficult for a bird to fly out of the palace.
The troops of the eastern captivity were insufficient, and it was no longer enough to hold Shengjing, but the remaining soldiers and horses were all cowering in the palace to defend, and the troops were still very sufficient, and it was difficult for the Ming army to break through the imperial city for a while.
As long as the Ming army rushed up, the imperial city suddenly rained arrows, and the muskets kept shooting, which made Qi Jiguang a little headache, if he used artillery bombardment, he was unwilling to destroy the palace.
The attack was suspended outside, but there was still a mourning inside the palace, no one believed that the palace could be held, and Dorgon kept walking back and forth.
Da Yu'er has been in a daze with Fu Lin in her arms, and the two top levels of the Eastern Kidnapping have no way at all at this time.
At last the big jade looked up and asked Dorgon:
"Lord Wang, how many days can we keep watching?"
Dolgon shook his head, a look of helplessness:
"Queen Mother, if you don't use shelling, it will be difficult for the Ming army to break through the imperial city, if they bombard the imperial city with artillery, they can break it at any time, this king is betting that they are not willing to bombard the imperial city."
