On May 14 of the first year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, after learning that Zhu Cihong led more than 300,000 main forces of the Ming army into Xuzhou City, he immediately laughed and attacked Jining City at all costs!

"Boom, boom, boom" The Qing army's 300 red-coated cannons and more than 200 old-style general cannons roared at the same time.

The sound of cannons was deafening, hundreds of shells all poured into Jining City, Jining City seemed to be in an earthquake, it seemed that the entire city was shaking, the city was a sea of fire, and countless houses collapsed and burned!

"Boom! Ah" A flowering bullet took away the lives of several Yinglong soldiers, and together with the ordinary Ming soldiers in the city, only one round of artillery bombardment killed and injured hundreds of soldiers in the city, which can be described as terrifying.

If it weren't for the fact that all the people in Jining City had already withdrawn from the city, the casualties would have been even heavier.

I have to mention that Shi Kefa is still very good at the civil aspect, and he can persuade all the people of Jining City to withdraw from Jining City, which is also a great achievement, Zhu Cihong greatly appreciated, and just arrived in Xuzhou, he ordered Shi Kefa to be summoned to Xuzhou, and asked him to preside over the evacuation of the people of Xuzhou.

"Commander, the cannons of the Qing Dynasty are too powerful, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties." Lu Yanshou said to Ji Feng.

"Heavy casualties must be defended, the emperor has an order, before the order, we must defend Jining City." Looking at the stumps and broken flesh in one place after the Qing army's shelling, Ji Feng's heart was dripping blood.

Why, Dolgon was so ruthless that all the flowering shells were used in the first shelling, hundreds of flowering shells, at least ten thousand taels of silver! If the Qing army had been willing to fight like this with flowering shells, they would have all been killed in the city without attacking the city.

Of course, Dolgon can't always use expensive flowering bombs, after all, flowering bombs are not only expensive, but also slow to manufacture, and all the flowering bombs he carries add up to more than 10,000 pieces, the first time is just to give the Ming army in the city a dismount, and then, Dolgon ordered all the cannons to bombard the city wall with all their might.

More than 500 cannons, including 300 powerful red-coated cannons, the bricks of Jining city wall flew into the sky.

An hour later, the Qing army's cannon barrel was hot, stopped the bombardment, just this hour of shelling, Jining city wall cracks appeared in many places, according to this, not a day, Jining city wall will be bombarded.

"Attack!"

"Kill" Countless Qing troops rushed towards Jining City like a tide, and almost all of these people were Han Banner Army.

The corners of Dolgon's mouth hooked a coldness, there were hundreds of cannons there, and he didn't have to rush to attack with his army, but the Han army flags were all composed of Han people, and their lives Dolgon didn't care about it, and when the artillery stopped bombarding, it was worth consuming an extra Ming army defender in the city.

The Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongols rode only on horseback and shot arrows at the city.

"Hurry, hurry, the Qing army is about to attack!" On the stone steps on both sides of the city tower, as soon as the Qing army stopped shelling, Ji Feng and others ordered the soldiers to immediately climb the city wall to resist.

Countless arrows are flying! On the city wall, thousands of archers bent their bows and arrows at the same time to shoot arrows outside the city, and there were also soldiers who threw stones to smash the Qing soldiers who climbed the ladder, but the Manchus and Mongols under the city were superb in archery, and basically dared to show their heads to smash, and they were easily shot in the head by bows and arrows.

After a Ming soldier was killed in battle, another Ming soldier about 18 years old put down the steel knife in his hand, picked up a stone and was about to smash it down at the Qing army who were climbing the ladder under the city, but as soon as he showed his head, there was a strong force behind him, and someone pulled him back by his clothes.

An arrow flew just past the eighteen-year-old soldier's head, nearly hitting him in the head.

"Boy, you dare to show your head so blatantly, looking for death!" This is a soldier of the Ming army in his thirties, and looking at him to dodge the arrows flying outside the city, he is obviously a veteran soldier with rich experience.

"Much, thank you, uncle!" The young soldier's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he almost died just now.

"Boy, learn a little!" The veteran soldier said to the young soldier, he looked at the young soldier pleasing to the eye, and there was a sense of teaching.

"It's not good, there are Qing soldiers climbing up!" The veteran soldier shouted, his face turned cold, and he immediately swung his knife and slashed it.

It turned out that a Qing soldier took advantage of the two to talk, and actually climbed up from the ladder.

"Poof!" The Qing army was slashed in the chest by the veteran soldier Youzi, and after spitting blood, the corpse fell to the city!

"Uncle is so amazing!" The young soldier looked admiring. In fact, he has only joined the army for less than half a year, he was a refugee from the north, and his family was killed by the Qing soldiers, and he joined the army to kill the Qing soldiers.

"Look at me." The veteran soldier Youzi estimated the location of the ladder, put down the steel knife in his hand, lifted a stone, and threw the stone down relying on the barrier of the city wall, without exposing the slightest chance for the Qing soldiers to shoot.

I only heard a sound from under the city, presumably a Qing soldier on the ladder was smashed down by the stone just now.

The veteran soldier smashed two pieces in a row, and then he heard two sounds under the city.

"Uncle, I'll try!" The young soldier's eyes lit up, and he was eager to try.

The veteran Youzi nodded, quickly picked up the steel knife on the ground, and hid aside to prepare for chopping, defending the city is not only this skill, but also requires the cooperation of other people.

On the ladder, a Qing soldier looked murderous, and his forehead was cold in a cold sweat constantly dodging the stones that fell down, climbing upwards, and he was lucky not to be hit several times, and soon touched the top of the city wall.

The young soldier had just smashed a few stones, and he was counting how many people he had hit, when a figure of a Qing soldier suddenly appeared in front of him, almost scaring the young soldier stupid, why did he keep smashing the stones, didn't he hit it?

Behind him, the cold light flashed, but it was the veteran soldier Youzi who took advantage of the fact that the Qing soldiers had not completely climbed up, and slashed the Qing soldiers' arms with a single sword, and chopped the Qing soldiers down.

"Boy, Qing Bing also has a few smart, they can look at the stones thrown down, someone needs to cooperate, cooperate with my uncle!" The veteran oily man said with a smile.

The young soldier nodded solemnly, he almost died twice today, and it is better to learn a little more valuable experience from the veteran soldier.

After resting for an hour, the artillery of the Qing army finally cooled down and was ready to fire again.

"Ding Ding Ding" The Qing army suddenly withdrew its troops.

After an hour of offensive and defensive battles, both sides had casualties, and as the besieging party, the Qing army suffered nearly twice as many casualties!

"The Qing army is about to open fire, three hundred people will be left on the city wall, and all the remaining people will be removed from the city wall!" At the end of the order, except for the three hundred people who were assigned, all the rest of the people quickly ran down the city wall and took refuge in the city.

As soon as the Qing soldiers withdrew to a distance of ten meters from the city wall, the artillery of the Qing army began to fire.

Most of the Ming soldiers on the city wall had not had time to withdraw, and for a while, because of this round of shelling, nearly 100 people were killed and wounded!

The Qing army's artillery bombardment and siege of the city were staged in turn, and the cracks in the Jining city wall were increasing under the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, and even some places had been cut down by two or three meters.

In the camp of the Qing army, Dolgon was watching the battle from the viewing platform, and when he saw that the wall of Jining City was about to collapse, he nodded secretly.

"Qiqi Regent, the 50,000 Manmeng Iron Cavalry including the Red Flag of Tuoyue Beile Ye successfully detoured from Juye and are quickly rushing towards Peixian and Xuzhou." A soldier with a white flag reports to Dolgon.

"Okay, hahahaha, all the Ming troops in Shandong are already in the king's bag, and they can't escape!" Dolgon laughed, all the Ming troops in Shandong together have 120,000, if they can be annihilated before the soldiers come to Xuzhou, the decisive battle in Xuzhou, there is already a ninety percent certainty, it will become ten percent, and the Qing Dynasty will dominate the world just around the corner!
