In fact, when the battle has reached this point, the cavalry no longer needs to risk casualties to cover, and if they retreat at this time, it is actually quite normal.

However, in the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng at the head of the city, this movement is a very good sign. This made him more confident, and he kept an eye on the Jianyu cavalry, and he felt that there would be a follow-up.

Sure enough, after seeing that Jianyu's cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, they immediately carried out the whole team, and then did not rest, and hurriedly walked in the direction of Liaodong!

"That's right! It must have been the Guanning army that attacked the hinterland of Liaodong, and the cavalry army of Jianyu did not even rest, and immediately started from the battlefield! Lu Xiangsheng excitedly pointed to the movement of the Jianyu cavalry in the distance and said loudly.

When his guards heard this, they were all very excited. Although this battle is not over yet, in their hearts, the winner has already been decided.

"Bring me my bow and arrows!" Lu Xiangsheng excitedly wanted to participate in the battle in person, his personal guards listened to it, and they were not verbose, and immediately presented bows and arrows.

Outside the city, a team of Jianyu foot soldiers, carrying the ladder has rushed to the bottom of the city wall, "popping", the heavy ladder leaned hard against the city wall, and then the Jianyu shouted and pulled back hard. The hook at the top of the ladder immediately hooked firmly on the battlements.

In the blink of an eye, Jianyu, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately began to climb the ladder and attack the city.

At the same time, Jianyu's catapult also received the will of Huang Taiji and began to extend the attack. The grinding stone, with a sharp whistling sound, smashed into the city wall. Each stone bullet that falls will make a loud "boom" sound, and then splash countless dirt and stones.

The soldiers of the Ming army and the soldiers of the Korean army, unlucky, if they were smashed squarely, they would suddenly become meat puree; And the unlucky, just being smashed in the arm and leg, or being hit by flying gravel, will all cry out in pain.

War, at this time, is the six relatives who do not recognize it, and they will not open the net because of justice or not.

Of course, the remaining Hongyi cannons on the head of the city are still roaring, and from time to time you can see the catapults outside the city, whether they are dropping bombs or not, suddenly "boom", they collapse like paper paste, and they also smashed the broken arms and limbs of the busy Jianyu below, and their heads were broken and bleeding.

Huang Taiji in the distance, although the blood on the corner of his mouth has long been wiped off, his face is extremely gloomy, he has been staring at the head of Pyongyang City, and saw a cloud ladder to the head of the city, and the Qing warriors began to climb up, and the Ming army and the Korean soldiers on the head of the city were obviously suppressed by the Qing Dynasty's catapults, archers, etc., not only suffered heavy casualties, but also seemed to be a lot weaker in their ability to fight back, and his heart was slightly relieved.

As long as the Qing warriors attack the city, there are only so many defenders in the city, and they will definitely not be able to hold it, and the city of Pyongyang will be broken!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Qing army is about to attack!" Fan Wencheng on the side saw it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Huang Taiji. Anyway, Huang Taiji is in a bad mood, so make fun at this time, congratulate him, or relieve his mood!

However, after Huang Taiji heard his words, he turned his head to look at him, and in those eyes, it was not the usual kind and intimate color, but ...... It's the color of eating people and hating people, which makes Fan Wencheng suddenly shocked in his heart, and he doesn't know where he said the wrong thing. He couldn't bear Huang Taiji's eyes, and involuntarily knelt down.

Huang Taiji saw him kneeling down before he came back to his senses. The reason why he stared at Fan Wencheng so much just now was because in Dolgon's recital, he also mentioned that he had seen Wu Zhong by the side of Emperor Ming, and it was confirmed by Emperor Ming himself, saying that Wu Zhong was at the behest of Emperor Ming and was specially caught by the Qing Dynasty and sneaked into Liaodong.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but grit his teeth again. Unexpectedly, he not only lost a daughter, but also leaked the inside story of Liaodong. Ridiculous himself also pinned his hopes on him to cooperate with the great salt merchants of the Ming Kingdom to provide enough grain and grass materials for the Qing Dynasty. It's not good, the Dongjiang Army will reappear in Liaodong, and even the Ming State will personally sit in charge of the Dongjiang Army with the respect of the governor, behind all this, there is a credit to his Wu Zhong.

In the mouthful of old blood he spit out before, there is Wu Zhong's credit.

Dolgon also said in the recital that the Ming Emperor personally confirmed that other Han people did not really surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and many of them were connected with the Ming State, and even if it was possible, they would immediately rebel against the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming State.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji's mind couldn't help but think of another past event that made him also grit his teeth: Liu Aita should be called Liu Xingzuo on the side of the Ming Kingdom, that is, as the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom said, indicating that he had thrown himself into the Qing Dynasty and became the first-class military attache of the Qing Dynasty, but he secretly contacted Yuan Keli, the former governor of Denglai, and tried to take Jinzhou to the Ming Kingdom. Although he didn't succeed in the end, he continued to play with the trust of the Qing Dynasty in him, and even faked his death to the Ming Kingdom, which was ridiculous and thought he was really dead, and held a grand funeral for him.

How many Han Chinese still harbor dissenting intentions in the Qing Dynasty today?

Huang Taiji thought so, stared down at Fan Wencheng's money rat tail head, and suddenly came back to his senses, this Fan Wencheng, at least should not be that kind of person. Although he is a Han Chinese, he is really loyal to the Qing Dynasty!

Thinking like this, he softened his face a little, and said lightly: "Get up, you haven't done anything wrong, you don't need to kneel at every turn!" ”

"The slave is loyal to His Majesty and the Great Qing Kingdom, and the heavens and the earth can learn from it!" When Fan Wencheng heard this, he immediately kowtowed vigorously, "dong dong" sounded, and replied loudly.

Seeing this situation, Huang Taiji was in a better mood, turned over and dismounted, walked over in person, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "I also know, Qing doesn't need to worry too much." ”

This Fan Wencheng's talent is there, and he can't be cold.

As for the other Han people, after this incident, they will have to sort it out one by one, and those who dare to have two hearts will be killed!

The murderous intent in his heart flashed, Huang Taiji changed his mood, patted Fan Wencheng, who had already stood up, on the shoulder and said, "Qing and I will take a look at the beautiful moment when Pyongyang City was broken!" ”

Fan Wencheng is also a tall man, and when he saw that Huang Taiji was going to pat him on the shoulder, he immediately bent down, so that Huang Taiji could pat him on the shoulder comfortably, and at the same time said with a flattering smile on his face: "Your Majesty is right, the slave also likes to see the moment when the city is broken, and the moment he sees the warriors of the Qing Dynasty ascending to the top of the city, I really can't wait to draw such a scene as a commemoration!" ”

Saying this, together with Huang Taiji, he turned his head to look at the city of Pyongyang in the distance.

At this time, the ladder that had reached the city wall was full of Qing warriors climbing up. The fastest climbers are about to climb up.

The Ming army and the Korean soldiers at the head of the city tried to push away those ladders, but the iron hooks were firmly hooked to the battlements, and it was not easy to push them away. When the spear is pierced, the body is often exposed to the battlements, and it will immediately attract the fire of the Qing archers outside the city.

"Your Majesty, the minion guessed that that there would be an attack immediately!" Fan Wencheng saw it, and pointed in a direction with joy and said.

Huang Taiji nodded when he heard this, he was watching, and naturally he also had a judgment, like Fan Wencheng, he also felt that it was that there would be the first to climb to the top of the city.

Just as they were all watching, suddenly, they saw things thrown from the top of Pyongyang to the bottom of the city, carrying a tail of gunsmoke.

Just looking at it like this, Huang Taiji chuckled in his heart, and looked a little familiar.

Immediately, some of the things that had been thrown from the top of the city bounced up, and then burst into flames and smoke; Others, when they hit the ground, have already spewed out a large amount of fire, which is spinning rapidly on the ground, and a lot of smoke is spewed out at the same time.

It was just a sudden effort, and the fire sprayed on the Qing warriors under the cloud ladder, and it immediately caught fire.

If it's just a fire, it's nothing. The key is that the smoke is obviously poisonous, the Great Qing warriors on the cloud ladder, and the Great Qing warriors under the cloud ladder, all did not continue to climb up and attack, they covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and even some people fell directly from the cloud ladder.

"Ten thousand enemies!" Huang Taiji's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a lost voice.

He finally remembered that in the third year of Chongzhen, he led the army to attack Guannai for the first time, crisscrossing the land of Gyeonggi. The important towns of Zunhua, Jizhen, Yongping Mansion and so on in the Ming Kingdom were all captured by the Qing Dynasty. However, the front of the army was finally blocked by the small Changli County. Even Huang Taiji personally led the army to attack the small Changli City, but in the end, it was not defeated.

At that time, a weapon in Changli defending the city was very powerful, which was very suitable for the battle of defending the city, and it was the 10,000 enemies seen in front of him. I didn't expect to see it again in Pyongyang City many years later.

Later, he also understood that this kind of enemy was filled with gunpowder with porcelain, mixed with arsenic and other poisons, and fixed with a wooden frame. After being thrown from the city, it will breathe fire and spit poison, which will have a huge impact on the besieging party, either burned or smoked by poisonous smoke. And the defenders at the head of the city, because they are covered by the city wall, will have no effect on them.

"Defeated, defeated......" didn't need to continue looking, Huang Taiji already knew the result in his heart, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

When Chongzhen was three years old, although Fan Wencheng also entered the customs with the army, he did not participate in the battle of Changli, but was ordered to guard Zunhua, so he had never seen this kind of weapon to defend the city. But he had heard about it afterwards and studied it.

At this time, when he heard that Huang Taiji had lost confidence so much, he hurriedly played to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, these ten thousand enemies are not invincible. Wait for the next siege, our army will wrap their mouth and nose in a wet cloth, which should reduce the impact of poisonous smoke on the Qing warriors. And this kind of ten thousand enemies, the most powerful is nothing more than that kind of poisonous smoke......"

Speaking of this, he saw that Huang Taiji didn't seem to react, so he immediately added: "Your Majesty, this kind of 10,000-strong enemy consumes extremely gunpowder and medicinal materials, so Lu Xiangsheng will definitely not have too much." ”

It's all explained so clearly, Huang Taiji should be able to listen to it, right? According to the usual practice, he might praise himself when he comes to his senses!

Fan Wencheng thought so, but when he saw Huang Taiji showing the ground, he smiled bitterly, and his mental state seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and he seemed to cry and said, "Do I still have time to spend in Pyongyang City?" Can I bet that Lu Xiangsheng has no other means to defend the city? ”

As soon as he heard this, Fan Wencheng was speechless.

He didn't see those eight-hundred-mile urgent movements, and he didn't have as much consideration as Huang Taiji for the overall situation of the entire battle in his heart. At this time, he was just talking about things and using his mind to solve problems for Huang Taiji! This time, though, he clearly failed.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At this time, a dense burst of artillery suddenly sounded.

Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng subconsciously turned their heads to look when they heard the sound.

I saw that on the Datong River, the ten warships of the Ming Army's naval division lined up, risked the risk, approached the side of the battlefield, and began to bombard.

And at the head of the city, the Hongyi cannon of the Ming army has never stopped, and it will sound from time to time. Echoing with the side of the warship, it is like playing a battlefield music.

With a bang, another catapult was hit by an iron bullet and shattered.

Looking at all this, Huang Taiji finally sighed and commanded weakly: "Mingjin collects the troops!" ”

Before, he felt that although he would pay a big price, as long as he could take Pyongyang City and annihilate the Ming Dongjiang Army in one fell swoop, he would still earn it.

But now, he can already make it clear that this first wave of offensive will definitely not be able to defeat the city of Pyongyang. If you want to capture Pyongyang City, like this first offensive, you have to come a few times, consume the defenders, consume the defense equipment, so that you can break through Pyongyang City!

However, he really didn't have time, and he had to immediately lead the main force back to Liaodong and fight a decisive battle with the Ming Emperor, which was the most important thing.

With Huang Taiji's order, the sound of "bells and bells" sounded on Jianyu's side, which spread throughout the battlefield.

The captives who had already made it clear that they could not attack the head of the city receded like a tide.

They helped their wounded companions, carried their corpses, and pushed the catapults as best they could, trying to withdraw from the battlefield.

Witnessing this scene, the defenders at the head of the city immediately cheered.

"Daming Wansheng!"

"We won!"

“……”

The Hongyi cannon continued to roar, and at this time, without the interference of the archers and catapults, the cannonball was also extremely accurate.

With a "boom", a slowly retreating catapult outside the city collapsed.

With a "boom", another catapult that was slowly retreating collapsed.

As each catapult was torn apart by an iron bullet, the defenders at the head of the city burst into earth-shattering cheers.

Suddenly, in the formation of the captives, a horse galloped out and rushed along the catapult to give orders. Then, I saw that the Jianjiao who were pushing the catapult let go of the catapult one after another, spread their feet and fled.

This scene made the defenders at the head of the city stunned: What does Jianyu mean by this? These two catapults are gone, what will they do next time they attack the city?

Just when they were salty and eating radishes and worrying about it, Lu Xiangsheng's Chinese army, which was already a soldier with a loud voice, shouted loudly: "The imperial army has invaded Liaodong, and Jianyu is going to retreat!" ”
