Chapter 587, The Battle of Shenyang (I)

Shenyang, an important town in Liaodong.

At this time, the entire Shenyang was surrounded by Jurchen people, and because there were no siege equipment, there was no way to break through this city for a while.

Although the city of Shenyang is not tall and far from being comparable to the capital, the Jurchens did not have wings, and it was not easy to attack the city without siege equipment.

What's more, although the Ming army stationed here is not a newly trained new army, it is still the original military household Ming army, but all the weapons and equipment have been updated.

He was wearing armor from the Miyun Iron Factory, holding the weapons of the Miyun Iron Factory in his hands, and there were even cannons cast by the Miyun Iron Factory on the city wall, as well as a small number of muskets.

Such weapons and equipment are absolutely good, plus relying on the city, it is not so easy to attack.

"These Ming people know that they are hiding in the city, this wall is too tall and too big to attack."

Badar looked at the Shenyang city wall in front of him and said angrily.

They had organized several sieges, but all of them ended in failure, and hundreds of Jurchen warriors died.

"You can't fight hard like this, there are few Jurchens in us, if we fight like this, thousands of people will die in a city, and before the entire Liaodong is defeated, all of us Jurchens will die."

Turro also had a solemn face, although the Jurchen warriors were brave, but after all, they didn't have wings, and there was no way to fly in, and he was a little helpless in the face of this kind of city wall, and he had never fought this kind of battle.

"Tell me, is there any good way to get in?"

"Burn down the gates with fire."

"I heard that there is a kind of ladder for attacking the city, catch some Ming people, and let them help us build a ladder~"

"Suppress them with arrows, and smash their gates to pieces."

Hearing Toro's words, the leaders of the Jurchen tribes around him suddenly spoke one after another.

On the city wall of Shenyang City, Mao Lun, the commander of Shenyang Wei, looked at the Jurchen army outside, his face was also very solemn, the Jurchens were too brave, and the bow and arrow were very powerful.

In the first few sieges, many of the soldiers defending the city died under their bows and arrows, and these Jurchens almost attacked just by relying on ladders.

"When are the reinforcements coming~"

Then, Mao Lun couldn't help but look to the south again, wanting to see the arrival of the Ming reinforcements, and he had already sent out several waves of people asking for help, and he also passed the book on the pigeons.

"Reinforcements are coming~"

"Reinforcements are coming~"

At this time, I don't know who shouted, and suddenly the Ming army above the entire city couldn't help but look at the south excitedly, and Mao Lun did the same, hurriedly took out the binoculars and looked south.

I saw a flag fluttering in the distance of the horizon, with the word 'king' written on it, and at the same time, there was a Ming Yellow Dragon flag representing the Ming Dynasty fluttering.

Then in the line of sight, a war horse appeared, and a huge cavalry army was rushing towards Shenyang.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, the earth was trembling slightly, and at the same time, a fierce breath was coming.

"Haha~"

"My Ming cavalry is coming~"

"This must be the cavalry led by Lord Wang Shouren, and there are also steppe people among them~"

Seeing this scene, Mao Lun suddenly couldn't help but shout loudly, and immediately the Ming army on the entire city wall cheered.

Wang Shouren rode on a white war horse, holding a telescope in his hand, and soon saw the situation in Shenyang.

"Whew~"

"Fortunately, it finally came in time, and this Shenyang has not fallen into the hands of the Jurchens."

Wang Shouren breathed a sigh of relief, he and Liu Jin rushed over at night in order to keep Shenyang, and they must not let the Jurchens take Shenyang.

"Knock knock~"

The sound of the war horses galloping on the ground was like a dull drum, and it was soon discovered by the Jurchens.

"The cavalry of the Ming army~"

Tuo Luo looked at the Ming army who was getting closer and closer to him in his field of vision, and his eyes suddenly widened slightly.

"It's not good, it's the cavalry of the Ming army~"

"It's all over~"

The leader of the Jurchen tribe immediately panicked, the deterrent power of cavalry in this era is undoubted, although the Jurchen warriors are strong, but they have no war horses, this infantry and cavalry fight, the probability of victory is too small.

"What are you afraid of, isn't it a cavalry~"

"It just so happened that we were short of war horses, so their Ming army sent us war horses, destroyed these Ming troops, and robbed them of their war horses and armor."

"That's right, what are you afraid of, let's wait a minute, don't hurt our war horses, they are all good horses, and it's a waste to these Ming troops."

Of course, there are also people who are not afraid of death, cavalry, nothing to fear, their Jurchen warriors are very brave, even if the infantry is on horseback, there is no need to be afraid of anything.

"Knock knock~"

The horses were constantly galloping towards the Jurchen army, stopping a few hundred feet away from them.

Wang Shouren clearly knew that the war horses were galloping, and if they were put into war now, it would affect their combat effectiveness, so let the war horses rest first, and the soldiers also began to eat dry food and drink water on their horses, and then start a war with the Jurchens when they were full of food and drink. Line

At the same time, in the back, there was the sound of war horses galloping, accompanied by the shaking of the earth, and soon the 20,000 new troops led by Liu Jin also arrived here in Shenyang.

"Dismount~"

As soon as the new army led by Liu Jin arrived, they immediately dismounted, and the new army was all musketeers, and there was no way to say that they could shoot on their horses, so they had to dismount.

The 20,000 new troops disembarked from their horses like sophisticated machines, and then quickly arranged into a square formation, and some artillery began to build artillery positions on a small hillside.

Among the many recruits, there was a thief-eyed man who was excitedly clenching the musket in his hand.

"Haha, Lao Liu really didn't know I was coming~"

"It's so fun, you can fight with the Jurchens with real knives and guns."

"I heard that the Jurchens are less than 10,000 and invincible, and I don't know if it's true."

"But looking at this posture, these Jurchens are really tall."

Zhu Houzhao was wearing a military uniform, wearing a military hat, and carrying a musket in his hand, the whole person was very excited, he saw Liu Jin commanding on a war horse, and also saw the Jurchen army in front of him.

He has always been eager to go to the battlefield to fight with real swords and guns, but he is the prince, how can he be allowed to go to the battlefield, even in the military academy, his grades are very good, but no one dares to say that he will go to the battlefield.

This time, when he learned that there was a war on the Liaodong side, Emperor Hongzhi sent a new army to Liaodong to exterminate the Jurchens, and he tried his best to get in.

Sure enough, the new army rode all the way north to Liaodong, and without a break in Guangning, they were immediately dispatched to Shenyang.

Looking at this posture, there is going to be a war as soon as it comes.

"These Ming troops?"

Tuo Luo looked at the Ming army in front of him, neatly arranged, wearing uniform and wearing uniform iron hats, and suddenly couldn't help but tremble slightly.

These Ming troops are completely different from the Ming army they have seen in the past, and the Ming army they have seen before are very tattered, that is, they have lived a better life in the past two years.

To be honest, he didn't look at these Ming troops in Liaodong with his eyes, which is one of the reasons why he was ambitious and dared to raise troops.

But these Ming troops in front of them are all tall and strong, and many of them are not even worse than their Jurchen warriors.

The equipment is full of armor and helmets, and the hand should be holding a firearm or a spear or something, and the military formation is strict and neat, just like a person.

This powerful momentum alone made him feel very unusual, not comparable to those Ming troops.

I saw that these Ming troops, under the command of the commander next to them, formed a formation in front of them in a very orderly manner, and marched towards their side with neat and uniform steps.

"10,000 cavalry~"

"20,000 infantry~"

"Obviously there are war horses, why do you want to dismount and fight us?"

At the same time, Toro's mind was also full of doubts, these Ming troops were obviously riding horses, but why did they still dismount to fight?

"Turro, kill it~"

"These Ming troops want to fight with our Jurchen warriors, and they are really not afraid of death, and they dare to fight with us."

"Yes, kill them all, these armor, war horses, and weapons are all good things."

"Haha, they're here to bring us gear."

"With these war horses, we can easily conquer the entire Liaodong region in the future."

On Toluo's side, the leaders of the tribes immediately shouted, although the Ming army in front of him, although it seemed to be very powerful, but in the field, they Jurchens were not afraid of anyone.

"Fast~Fast~"

"Send someone to inform Lord Liu and Lord Wang that we can't fight in the field with the Jurchens, their Jurchens are invincible in the field, and we are not opponents at all."

As for Mao Lun above the head of Shenyang City, he was also anxious after the big joy.

The Jurchen field battle is too powerful, this is setting up a formation and Jurchen field battle outside the city, this is not looking for death.

So he hurriedly sent people out of the city to inform Liu Jin that he must not fight with the Jurchens.

"Woo~"

Outside the city, Touro ordered someone to blow the horn of attack.

Although these Ming armies were a little different, although the other side was more than three times as numerous as their own, they were Jurchens, and they had tens of thousands of Jurchen warriors.

What's more, these Ming troops in front of them are really well equipped, and they are armor, weapons, and war horses, as long as these things are captured, their Jurchen army can exchange guns for guns, and when the time comes, they will occupy Liaodong, and even enter the Central Plains in the future.

Therefore, Turro did not hesitate and directly ordered the attack.

"The distance is 230 zhang, the wind speed is level 2, and the angle is lowered by 2 degrees~"

On the hillside, the artillerymen were carefully taking measurements, calculating design parameters and adjusting the angle of fire.

"Lizheng~"

"Ready~"

On the side of the new army, as the Jurchens sounded the horn of attack, the advancing new army also stopped, lined up in columns, and pointed muskets at the Jurchens who rushed over.
