Chapter 863: Haicheng fell, and Liaoyang was attacked
"Good! There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to come! If you are killing yourself, then this town will fulfill you! You will go to the eighteen levels of hell, but you should not regret it! ”
Seeing that this Shuotuo was so stubborn, Monk An smiled coldly, and a hideous look flashed on his face, and he didn't say anything more, and immediately pulled out his horse and returned to the battle with a group of guards. At the same time, Na Shuotuo also snorted coldly, and hurriedly left from the city, preparing to arrange for the soldiers and horses in the city, as well as a group of young men and women urgently recruited from the city to come to defend the city.
Soon, with the artillery in place, the siege of the Don Army officially began.
The defenders at the head of the city were horrified to see that under the deafening horns and rumbling war drums, 360 steel heavy dragon bombardment guns shining with silver and gray light were slowly pushed by the Tang gunners to about 1,000 meters outside the north gate of Haicheng before they stopped on the spot.
Next, the Don gunners began to fix the gun mounts, adjust the angle of fire, reload gunpowder and shells, and soon made preparations for battle.
This concentrated all the three hundred and sixty heavy dragon guns of the four towns, lined up along the northern wall of Haicheng City, majestic and majestic, with an invincible spirit that swept the world. The muzzle of the black hole was like countless thick phalluses pointing proudly, straight towards the high Haicheng city wall opposite.
The awe-inspiring momentum of these artillery, even if it was just seen from a distance, made the Qing troops defending the city weak in fright.
Everyone could almost intuitively feel that these behemoth-like artillery pieces were already so terrifying, and one could imagine how amazing their attack and destructive power would be once fired.
Shuotuo, the lord of Haicheng, Rao is a general who has been in battle for a long time, and when he saw that the Tang army was able to launch so many huge artillery pieces that had never been seen before to attack the city, his face was dripping with cold sweat, and his face turned pale in an instant.
The artillery of the Tang Army is completely different from the ordinary artillery such as the Hongyi cannon, the general cannon, the second general cannon, the Shenwei cannon, and the tiger squat cannon that he was accustomed to seeing in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
So, in the case of such a powerful heavy artillery bombarding the city intensively, can you really swear that you can hold this sea city as Fang Cai......
Thinking of this, the sea city lord Shuotuo only felt that even breathing began to become difficult.
And at this moment, all the panicked defenders saw from a distance that a person who looked like a captain in the Tang army formation raised the red flag in his hand.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
……
Three hundred and sixty heavy dragon bombards that fired thirty-two pounds of shells, the muzzle of each cannon immediately spewed out crimson afterburners and dazzling golden fire, dense and choking billowing white smoke rose up, covering the sky, and three hundred and sixty huge black round iron bullets, with the sound of death, slammed into the right side of the north gate of Haicheng City.
The huge impact sound that shattered the eardrum sounded continuously, and the three hundred and sixty jet-black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the northern wall of Haicheng fiercely in an evenly distributed state.
On the north side of the entire city wall, hundreds of large holes arranged neatly and evenly appeared in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick and cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, spreading unscrupulously to the siege, and the large city wall bricks were splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust and mist was filled, and the entire city wall was trembling violently.
On the city wall, a large number of Qing soldiers who were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were bleeding together, everyone was shocked and blood surged, and the eyes were shrouded in the dust and fog that choked their noses, and the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and there were several small copper cannons or small iron cannons at the head of the city, which were shocked and swooped down from the city wall, with several loud noises, and turned into scrap metal.
At the same time, as many as 200 unstable defenders fell from the city wall screaming, and then fell into bloody meatloaf.
The Qing soldiers guarding the northern city wall suddenly became greatly confused.
At this time, on the northern city wall, there was no need for people to organize at all, and immediately hundreds of frightened defender soldiers, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, screamed in horror, turned around and fled down the road of the city wall.
"Don't run! You shameful people, come back to this king! ”
Dusty and dusty by the bombardment, his hair and beard were scattered like that of a native man, and he looked extremely embarrassed, he coughed violently, stood up with difficulty on the battlements of the wall, and immediately shouted loudly at the fleeing soldiers.
It was only in this chaos that although he shouted hoarsely, it had little effect, and the routs fled with complete oblivion of his presence.
Beside him, a fleeing soldier passed him wailing, as if he had not heard the supreme commander's warning.
Angry and angry, Shuoto drew his sharp waist knife from the ground, stabbed it fiercely, and with a pop, stabbed the fleeing guy from the back to the chest.
The fleeing soldier shook a little, and then a noodle bag that had lost its support fell to the ground and died.
"If you see it, you dare to leave your post without permission and run away from your post on your own, all of them will end up like this!" With his face splattered with blood, he drew a bloodied sword and yelled at the fleeing soldiers.
Seeing that Shuoto, the main general of the city guard, was killing people in a rage, and his guards did not dare to slack off, and they all rushed out one by one, slashing and killing these soldiers who had withdrawn and fled, and there was a wail on the city wall.
With great difficulty, Shuoto re-stabilized the situation and restored calm to the entire northern wall.
At this moment, his heart was full of anger, but he felt even more inexplicably sad.
Hateful, hateful now, in addition to being passively beaten, what countermeasures can there be?!
The Tang Army's steel heavy dragon hammer cannon can hit a distance of more than 1,000 meters smoothly and accurately, while more than 20 large and small artillery pieces in its own city can only hit an accurate range of more than 500 meters in the end.
Fuck, what kind of shitty fight is this!
Haicheng General Soldier Shuotuo took it to heart, and scolded the Tang Army on the opposite side with the dirtiest words ten thousand times.
But soon, while he was still secretly scolding, Tang Jun was ready for the next salvo shot.
Seeing that the Tang army began to adjust the muzzle of the cannon again, and was about to start shooting again, Shuoto's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife.
Alas, the artillery of the Tang army is so fierce, the offensive is so fierce, these poor defenders on the city wall can only sit and wait for the slaughter, there is only the slightest chance to turn the tables and win, so force themselves to support, so in vain to let their soldiers innocently die, what is the purpose!
On the northern wall of Haicheng City, when the defenders finally regained stability, the next round of artillery bombardment of the Tang army began.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
……
Another 360 jet-black 32-pound iron bullets, like a heavy fist swung by the god of death, spread their black wings, and roared in an extremely terrifying attitude.
There was another deafening crash, and on the entire northern city wall, broken bricks rained down, large chunks of rammed earth inside cracked, and yellow dust and mist flew up all over the sky. The dense cobwebs and cracks on the entire northern wall have reached a shocking level.
In the face of such fierce violence and complete death, the struggle and resistance of human beings is almost a joke.
The rest of the defenders, who were already frightened, no longer need to be mobilized, I don't know who shouted, these guys immediately abandoned their posts, howled and hugged their heads and ran away. Their flight was so resolute, so unstoppable, that it was like a horde of mad beasts that seemed to knock anything in their way to the ground.
The explosion shook the main general Shuoto into the air, and his body fell heavily on the battlement, and then rebounded back under the city wall, causing him to scream loudly in pain.
"General, the Tang army's artillery is too fierce, and our army can't hold it anymore, so please ask the general to withdraw from the city and reorganize the guard!" One of the guards, whose nose was bleeding from a flying brick, shouted out to Shuoto in an almost pleading voice.
Shuoto's mind was so shocked that he tried to get up, but there was an inexplicable pain in his waist, and he lost consciousness from the waist down.
, I guess this fell too hard, breaking the lumbar vertebrae and ribs.
He was in pain, and tried hard to support his body with his hands, but he couldn't do it, but he fell to the ground again.
The main general was wounded, and the lieutenant who was guarding the side of the city wall immediately rushed to him.
"General, I'll help you up." The lieutenant hurriedly stretched out his hands to the side, trying to help him up.
Shuoto turned his head with difficulty to see the lieutenant's red teary eyes and trembling lips.
Shuoto waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to touch himself.
"General......" The adjutant general's throat swelled, and his voice choked.
At this time, Shuoto calmed down. He didn't take the lieutenant's hand and get up, but just supported it with his hands, so that his body was as close to the pheasant as possible, showing a half-lying posture.
"I can't do it anymore." He muttered, his eyes half-drooping, looking at the deputy general in front of him who had followed him for many years: "It's just that I, Shuotuo, am a member of the Great Qing Clan, and if I surrender here, I will never be able to do it!" Remember, after my death, all the soldiers and horses in the city will be under your command, so you can take them to surrender to the Tang army, and you don't have to let them die with me. ”
"General, don't think about it!" The adjutant general let out a loud cry and wept again and again.
"Don't cry, this general has fought until now, and he has been loyal to the country, and he has no regrets. If I die here, Dorgon won't be too embarrassed for my family. Now that the artillery of the Tang army is so powerful, this king can't let the brothers in the city die in vain. You remember the words of the general, as long as the general dies, you will immediately raise the white flag and order all the brothers in the city to surrender to the Tang army! Shuoto gasped and shouted at the lieutenant.
The adjutant general's eyes were blurred with tears, and he looked directly at the wheezing Shuoto, who wanted to say more, but the Shuoto had already picked up the saber that had fallen to the ground, and with a strong swing, he slammed it towards his neck.
A fountain of blood erupted from the crack in Shuoto's neck, and his sword clanged to the ground, and the whole person fell slowly down the battlement.
"General!" The lieutenant on the side hugged him tightly and let out a loud cry of sorrow.
However, when he heard the sound of artillery bombardment in the distance, he immediately came to his senses, quickly put down the corpse of Nashuto, and hurriedly ran down the road of the city wall to hide.
At this time, the third round of shelling of the Don army began again.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
……
The dazzling fire flashed, the choking smoke floated up, and three hundred and sixty thirty-two pound iron bullets roared away, and the sound of the huge iron bullets crashing and the dull sound of the collapse of the city wall were continuous, and the smell made people palpitate.
After this bombardment, there were nearly four or five gaps in the city wall in the north of Haicheng County, and many places that had been continuously bombarded had completely collapsed.
The location of the city wall where Shuotuo was located suddenly collapsed, like a fluttering leaf falling from the sky, and after falling from the air, it was instantly buried in the ruins of bricks and loess.
Prince Cheng Shuotuo died here like this, and his real body and name were destroyed.
At this time, when the yellow dust and fog in the sky gradually dissipated, the Tang army outside the city could clearly see from the gaps in the collapsed city wall that huge white flags had been fluttering everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city......
After leading all the defenders in the city and surrendering to the Tang army, the lieutenant general desperately dug out a blurred mass of flesh and blood, almost inhuman, from the ruins of the collapsed city wall.
He hugged this filthy and dried flesh tightly, and let out a loud cry of grief, which made Monk An and others, the chief general of the Tang Army, who were watching from the sidelines, greatly moved.
Monk An immediately ordered, this Shuotuo insisted on not surrendering, although it was hateful, but after he killed himself, he was able to make the deputy general lead his troops to surrender, and saved the city of Haicheng and the people of the city, which can be regarded as a great achievement. Therefore, his subordinates were still allowed to be buried in a mountain forest outside Haicheng City.
Haicheng fell into the hands of the Tang army, and the Manchu Qing lost the important town of Liaozhong, and the Tang army continued to go north to attack Liaoyang, the last important town in Liaozhong.
And if Liaoyang goes down, then the Tang army's troops should be able to reach Shengjing City.
Soon, after receiving the terrible news that Haicheng had fallen and that Prince Cheng Shuoto had died in battle, Dolgon was terrified.
His grandmother's didn't expect the Tang Army's artillery to be so powerful, more than 300 artillery pieces, several salvos can collapse the city wall, such a terrible firearms advantage, for the Qing army, it is simply a nightmare existence.
Of course, Liaoyang City, as an important town operated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many years, was far stronger than Haicheng, but it had another shortcoming that made Dolgon very worried.
That is, in Liaoyang City, the total number of soldiers and horses added up to less than 50,000, and it was difficult to resist the powerful offensive of the Tang army.
What to do? When the DPRK and China are unable to send reinforcements, we can't sit idly by.
Dolgon pondered for a long time and finally made a difficult decision.
Azig's army has not yet returned, and the current plan, if you want to keep Liaoyang from losing, you can only lose your car and protect your commander.
"The decree of the king of this book is that the king of Sanshun will give up the garrison in southern Liaoning, lead all the soldiers and horses, return to Liaoyang at full speed, and assist the Liao general Jierharang to defend the city, and there must be no loss."
"Whew, the minions obey!"
