Chapter 461: Hong Chengchou (1)
Shang Kexi's opposition to the Qing Dynasty soon spread to Beijing.
Dolgon was furious and ordered all of Shang Kexi's family members in the capital to be beheaded.
It's a pity that those family members are all born to Manchurian women, Shang Kexi doesn't care at all, his real descendants have long been hidden by him in advance, and Dolgon can't find them at all.
Jinan City, like Dolgon, Hong Chengchou is also furious.
"Why is this happening, why is this happening! The Qing Dynasty should be the destiny of heaven, why was it defeated so quickly, more than 300,000 troops, it was gone in just a few days! No, it shouldn't be like this! ”
"It's still gratifying, it's all gratifying! Originally, the second line of defense could be defended for ten days no matter how bad it was, but it was all because it was still gratifying, and it fell in just one day! ”
On the city wall of Jinan, Hong Chengchou looked at the endless Ming army camp under the city, and his face was hideous.
Originally, 500,000 troops were guarding Shandong, and Hong Chengchou had the confidence to block the Ming army for at least two months, but now it is not even ten days, and the Ming army has broken through two lines of defense in a row, and the soldiers are approaching the last line of defense.
Hong Chengchou is already a little crazy.
Back then, he took refuge in the Manchurians, because he believed that the Manchurians were destined to do so because he was bewitched by Huang Taiji. Wholeheartedly helping the Manchus to gain the world is to show his Hong Chengchou's talent in the process of the Manchus gaining the world, and to leave a name in history in the future, proving that his choice of Hong Chengchou is correct.
But now, the Ming army is powerful and overwhelming, and the Qing Dynasty is obviously at a disadvantage.
Hong Chengchou can't accept it, if the Qing Dynasty is finally defeated, he Hong Chengchou will really become a traitor who has been stinking for thousands of years, only if the Manchurians win, he Hong Chengchou will be called to comply with the mandate of heaven because he made the right choice, and his name will go down in history.
"The Qing Dynasty cannot be defeated!" Hong Chengchou had a hideous face, gritted his teeth, as a Han Chinese, he actually hoped that the Manchus would get the world more than the Manchus, and the so-called iron traitor was a person like him.
Under the city of Jinan, the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Cijiao was looking at Jinan City with clairvoyance.
Since the telescope was developed, it has been mass-produced, and the generals of the Ming army are equipped with more than 100 generals, but as the emperor, the one in Zhu Cijiao's hand is specially made, made of gold, exquisite and luxurious.
"Huh? That was "Suddenly, Zhu Ci's gaze was fixed on one place, which was where Hong Chengchou was.
"Hong Chengchou!" Zhu Ci gritted his teeth and spit out Hong Chengchou's name.
Although Zhu Cichou saw Hong Chengchou himself for the first time, there was a portrait of Hong Chengchou painted in the Jinyi Wei secret newspaper, and Zhu Cichou remembered it deeply and recognized Hong Chengchou's identity at a glance.
For this hardcore traitor who used to be an important minister of the Ming Dynasty and is now a full-man man, Zhu Ci hated him so much that he couldn't wait to break his neck immediately.
Just do it when you think of it, Zhu Ciji did not hesitate.
"Come on, bring in a few cannons immediately!"
"Yes!" Immediately a guard went to give the order.
After a while, dozens of soldiers from the Yinglong Army Artillery Battalion brought several new cannons of 90 mm caliber and urgently assembled them.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Ji Feng, Huang Degong and several other commanders of the Yinglong Army also rushed over when they heard the news and asked Zhu Ci.
Zhu Ci didn't speak, but put down the clairvoyance in his hand and pointed to a section of the city wall of Jinan City.
Several commanders of the Ying Long Army understood, and immediately took out the clairvoyance they had equipped with and looked at the place Zhu Ci had pointed out just now.
"Hong Chengchou, it turned out to be Hong Chengchou!" Ji Feng said resentfully.
"Such traitors should be punished!" Huang Degong also gritted his teeth.
"The emperor brought the cannon, didn't he want to take the opportunity to kill Hong Chengchou?" Zhang Kuishan instantly understood the reason why Zhu Ci hurriedly transferred a few cannons.
Zhu Ci staggered and nodded, yes, he just wanted to take this opportunity to bombard Hong Chengchou into slag.
Hong Chengchou is the supreme military commander of the Qing army in Shandong, commanding all the Qing troops in Shandong, and now this last line of defense Jinan City defense line is guarded by Hong Chengchou himself, if Hong Chengchou can be killed with one shot, the morale of the Qing army in Jinan City will collapse instantly, and it will be much easier for the army to attack the city, so how can Zhu Ci let go of such a good opportunity.
"Your Majesty, the four cannons have all been assembled!" The artillery general ran over.
"Immediately load the shells, target the Jinan city wall, 75 degrees direction!" Zhu Ci hesitated and ordered.
The artillery general also took out the clairvoyance he had with him and glanced in the direction Zhu Cizhen said, and then confirmed the target.
Soon, the shells were loaded, and the muzzles of the four cannons pointed to the place where Hong Chengchou was.
"Aim Complete!" The gunner replied loudly.
"Ready to fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom" With a few rumbling loud sounds, four shells shot sharply in the direction of the Jinan city wall where Hong Chengchou was located.
At this moment, several commanders of the Ying Long Army, including Zhu Cihe, were a little nervous, hoping that this round of artillery bombardment could kill Hong Chengchou.
Although the accuracy of the new cannon is more accurate than that of the old Shenwu field cannon, it does not dare to say that it can be successfully fired at a distance of more than 1,000 meters, and the success rate of four cannons firing at the same time is only 20%.
Jinan City Wall.
Hong Chengchou's dark heart was still turning, thinking about how to inflict heavy losses on the Ming army under the city of Jinan and contribute to the final victory of the Qing Dynasty.
Suddenly, several rumbling sounds came from the Ming army camp outside the city.
"What sound?" Before Hong Chengchou could react to the sound of cannon fire, he saw something cut through the air in the sky and shot quickly towards the place where he was.
In less than half a breath, Hong Chengchou reacted, just now it was the sound of the cannon firing.
"Ahh Hong Chengchou's eyes widened in horror, and at this moment, without waiting for him to make any moves, four shells hit the place where he was.
"Be careful, sir!" There is Hong Chengchou's henchmen yelling.
"Boom, boom, boom" saw four explosions, and Hong Chengchou was hit by four shells within a radius of 20 meters.
Suddenly, the place was blown up to the bricks and stones, the flames soared into the sky, and the air waves lifted off the city wall many Qing soldiers who were standing guard on the side, and fell to their deaths.
The shells exploded right next to them, shattering them to pieces.
After a few breaths, on a brick surface of the city wall, Hong Chengchou was protected by two personal soldiers and fell there.
Hong Chengchou shook off the gravel on his sleeve robe and stood up with a dark face.
"Are you alright, sir?"
"I'm fine!" Hong Chengchou was extremely frightened in his heart, his face was black and white, and he obviously had palpitations, the nearest shell just now was only five or six meters away from him, if it wasn't for the soldiers around him who threw him to the ground in time, he would have been torn off the city wall by the air wave even if he wasn't killed immediately.
"My lord, it's not safe here, let's go!" The pro-soldier persuaded him.
Hong Chengchou nodded and immediately turned around and walked down the city wall, as the supreme commander of Jinan City, he couldn't continue to take risks on the city wall.
Outside the city of Jinan, the camp of the Ming army.
Zhu Cicheng and the others have been looking at the place where Hong Chengchou was standing just now through clairvoyance, thinking that Hong Chengchou was killed, but they didn't expect that only a few breaths later, and saw Hong Chengchou standing up again, it seems that the four shells just now really failed to kill Hong Chengchou.
