Gather the soldiers, clean up the battlefield, arrange people to guard the defense line, leave Qin Bangping and Qin Minping two people to guard the Shanhaiguan Pass, one person to guard the Songjin line, and the two are also responsible for the logistics of the army, the 120,000 defenders of the three customs and Songjin line, Chongzhen transferred 100,000 horses, the army assembled, waved the army to the north, and wanted to finish its work in one battle, completely crippled the Jurchens and captured Huang Taiji alive.
Under the city of Guangning, the black and oppressive Ming army besieged the city, looking at the red-clothed cannons that were pushed out by the Ming army, so that the Jurchen guards who were left here were like ashes, and for a while, on the city wall, the heads of people were swaying.
In what a short time this time, those red-coated cannons can be pulled under the city of Guangning, those walk-behind tractors are indispensable, in the earth-shattering roar, accompanied by the black smoke rising from the sky, there are no materials that the tractor can't pull during this period.
In order to make Huang Taiji unable to make trouble for himself in the future, Chongzhen's Northern Expedition exhausted all the reserves accumulated by the empire in recent years, not only transferred all the ammunition used for emergency inventory in Shanhaiguan and Songjin, but also notified Sun Chengzong in the rear by telegram to start transporting the logistics materials of the Northern Expedition to the front line, Chongzhen gave a death order, that is, to starve the ministers and relatives of the emperor in the imperial city to death, and also to ensure the supply of grain and grass on the front line, and at the same time, countless Jinyi guards and Dongchang fans haunted everywhere, Any official who dares to delay the transportation of grain and grass will be executed on the spot, Chongzhen has made an order to those stewards of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Sun Chengzong reported to the front line to send troubled materials, and after arriving at the front line, he personally accepted it, if there is a penny, then the stewards of Dongchang and Jinyiwei will wash their necks and wait for themselves to go back and cut it.
In an imperial country, when an emperor who holds real power is determined to do something personally, no one dares to be perfunctory, and no one dares to be perfunctory, because the emperor does not need a reason to kill, as long as that incident dissatisfies the emperor and the emperor is in a bad mood, then all the responsible persons are waiting to lose their heads, and under the threat of death, no one dares to slack off.
In fact, Chongzhen still very much agrees with the royal driving in person, of course, what is said here is not to go to the front line to risk leading the troops to fight, but to honestly do logistics work for the army in the rear, the emperor wants logistics no one dares not to give, and at the same time know that the emperor is in the army, that can also make the soldiers give up all their worries, and the improvement of morale is very huge.
"Quick, give me the cannon on the city wall, give me a bang, give me the sandbag to build up, hurry up, the emperor can watch from behind, we can't let the emperor accompany you to spend the night in the field tonight" The little eunuch brought by Chongzhen, the soldiers near the commander began to build fortifications, these supervisors were trained with Hu Bayi in the Shenji Battalion, although it is not possible to lead the troops to fight, but it is still okay to command and arrange some defensive measures.
"What my father-in-law said, how can we let the emperor spend the night in the wilderness, brothers work hard, tonight we will take back Guangning City, let the emperor spend the night in the city" The soldiers who were scolded by the eunuchs didn't care about this, as long as they could win the group of Jiannu, what would it matter if their brothers suffered a little.
This time Chongzhen appointed Lu Xiangsheng to command, Qin Liangyu sat in the Chinese army to protect Chongzhen's safety, the current Jurchens in Guangning City and the Ming army compared with both strength and morale have a huge gap, in order to achieve Chongzhen's so-called as much as possible to kill the Jurchens' vital force, Lu Xiangsheng did not take the siege of three and lack of one, but directly besieged the city on all sides, since ancient times, the battle is to win with the right combination, when their own troops can be dignified and upright to overwhelm the other party head-on, don't play any tricks, It will be self-defeating if it is not done well, the current Ming army has absolute strength, and there is no need to play any conspiracy and tricks, and it is the right way to directly crush the past with the general trend.
Under the city of Guangning, outside the range of bows and arrows, a small earthen wall made of sandbags has been erected, under the command of Hu Bayi, the soldiers of the Shenji battalion with the 38 big cover squatted behind the sandbags with guns, "boom, boom, boom" The red-clothed cannon roared and launched an attack on the front of the city, after a burst of rocks, the Ming army began to attack the city, "rush" in the shouts of the mountain and tsunami, two tractors roared and retreated to the front of the city.
"The archers stepped forward, the shield bearers covered, and the ladders charged quickly" The defenders in the city also began to fight back desperately in the face of the siege on all sides, and countless Jurchens rushed up the city wall and began to bend their bows and arrows.
"Bah", "Bah", "Bah", "Bah" and "Bah" opened fire with the 38 big cover behind the sandbag, and the Jurchens who showed their heads were shot and fell down the city one after another. At this time, the shield bearer erected a shield under the city, and a large number of archers approached the city wall, "elevation angle forty-five degrees, throwing" a large number of arrows rained out, and the Jurchen reserve army hiding behind the city and preparing to go to the city to support at any time was caught off guard, and the city was chaotic for a while.
The two tractors finally approached the city wall, and the special bed crossbow made of the tow bucket, with special crossbow arrows made of fine iron, shot into the city gate with iron chains accompanied by a roar, and after the goal was reached, the tractor immediately began to charge forward, as the iron chain fixed on the tractor began to be pulled, the crossbow arrows made of fine iron with the thickness of an arm's arm stretched out of the barb, and hung on the city gate, "change gear, increase the throttle to low."
After a burst of black smoke, the city gate behind him was pulled creaking, the rear was forced, the front wheel of the tractor kept slipping, setting off a large amount of dust, and the direction swayed left and right, "The grip is not enough, go to the tractor quickly, how many can you go on" Under the command of the fat man, a large number of soldiers rushed to the tractor. Some soldiers picked up ropes and tied them to the tractor, and groups of people desperately pulled forward.
"Let people pull me the heavy machine guns, press down the archers who are fighting back in front of the city, and go to pull two red-coated cannons, and bombard me at the city gate" With the cooperation of the Shenji battalion and the archers, the resistance of the city wall was pressed down.
"Boom, boom" With the sound of two cannons, the city gate hit by the solid cannonball shook, and finally couldn't resist the pull of the tractor, and was pulled to the ground with a bang.
"The city is broken, rush" for a time the city gate became a meat grinder, people squeezed people, knives and machetes, in the end it was the Ming army with a lot of people, just squeezed the corpses all over the ground and squeezed in, the defenders in front of the city, saw that the city gate was broken, ran fast and rushed to the city to flee in all directions, and the slow ones were surrounded by the Ming army who climbed up the ladder to fight together, the city was broken, the battle must be won, the emperor's eyes were still watching here, at this moment, it was the most critical moment to desperately kill the enemy and snatch the head, in the face of the opportunity to beat the water dogs, who was willing to lag behind, At this time, if you don't desperately stay for a while, one side sacrifices your life to fight, and the other side is afraid, and for a time the city is in front of the city, and the Ming army actually repelled several times their own Jurchens without an advantage in numbers.
After the city was broken, the Ming army continued to enter the city, the numerical advantage became more and more obvious, those Jurchens who gave resistance fell under the chaotic knife, and then the corpses were also cut off by the Ming army, and the entire Guangning City was quickly cleared by the Ming army.
