March 10, 1637, February 1, 10th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, 13 o'clock at noon. More than 200 mortars of the Cheonce Army began to rain shells on the Qing trenches outside Pyongyang.

This is a scene that can only be seen in modern warfare, and for a time there was artillery fire outside Pyongyang, and the smoke of gunfire was filled.

Of course, such an artillery bombardment cannot be compared with the roar of tens of thousands of heavy artillery pieces in modern warfare, but it is just as shocking in this ancient war.

More than 1,300 shells per minute, and about 40,000 shells were shelled in half an hour, falling between the trenches of the Qing army outside the city of Pyongyang.

There are ships to transport, and against the cold weapons army, the use of ammunition is very efficient, so the logistics of the Tiance army can fully keep up.

The overwhelming artillery fire allowed the Qing army to see war scenes that could only be seen in World War II hundreds of years in advance.

The characteristic of mortars is to strike at the enemy in the trenches, so as the mortar shells fall into the trenches, the Qing army was bombed and screamed, crying fathers and mothers, and corpses and blades were constantly thrown out of the trenches.

Even if the Qing army no longer understands modern warfare and sees such a fierce shelling, it knows that the Qing army outside the city must be more than lucky.

Huang Taiji couldn't care about the emperor's prestige, and roared with red eyes: "Quick, let them withdraw quickly!" ”

The outside of the city has become a hell of blood and fire, the dense explosion points are terrifying, the commander of the Qing army outside the city is his eldest son Haoge, Huang Taiji never dreamed that he would push him into hell with his own hands, who would have thought that the Tiance army would have such a might.

Dolgon, who was closest to him, persuaded with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, you can't withdraw!" Hiding in a trench may still have a chance to live! ”

Hauge had no hope of inheriting the throne, so Dorgon was genuinely dissuaded, and such an artillery bombardment was more likely to kill him if he broke out of the trenches!

Huang Taiji also reacted, but can he save his life if he doesn't rush out? The enemy's shells seemed to be endless, endless, and for how long, and there was no meaning to stop, which was unthinkable in ancient warfare.

When the Tiance army stops shelling, how many people will be left of the Qing army outside the city? How many more are combat-ready? It's miserable, it's so miserable, the eight thousand Qing warriors haven't even seen the face of the enemy, and it is estimated that most of them have gone to see Changshengtian.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was furious, "Poof! A mouthful of blood spurted out of the ground, and he fainted to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The princes and Baylors hurriedly rushed forward to check.

In the midst of the pinching and shouting, Huang Taiji woke up slowly, and said weakly with tears in his eyes: "The city is commanded by Prince Rui Dolgon, and the army north of the city is commanded by Prince Heshuoli Daishan. ”

The artillery fire of the Tiance army made Huang Taiji afraid, how could the Qing Dynasty defeat such an army? Could it be that the Qing Dynasty committed a catastrophe and deserved this catastrophe?

The princes also knew that if they didn't find a way to fight and weaken the Tiance Army, Daqing would have no future.

Dolgon also knew that the time had come to fight hard, so he knelt down and said, "The younger brother must live up to the emperor's trust, and he will make the enemy army come and go." Your Majesty, you better retreat, this place is no longer a safe place! ”

From the shelling just now, he could also see that the range of the Tiance Army's artillery was very long, and the city wall was no longer safe.

Huang Taiji also knew that if he was killed as an emperor, it would be a disaster for the morale of the Qing army.

When Huang Taiji retreated north, the shelling of the Tiance Army had ended, and the first to go on the field were four air-cushion landing craft.

Each landing craft loaded eighty soldiers and headed in the direction of Pyongyang City, followed by more than a hundred armored vehicles.

During the driving of the air-cushion landing craft, due to the disturbance of the bottom cyclone and the tail fan, the surrounding area was dusty and smoky, and the momentum was amazing.

Its massive body defied all the trenches and walked unimpeded.

The remnants of the Qing army in the trench seemed to have seen a prehistoric monster, and when they saw the air-cushion landing craft coming, they were stunned and didn't know how to respond. They had been frightened by the shelling just now, and now in the face of such a huge monster, most of them were lying in the trenches trembling in fright.

The air-cushion landing craft traveled at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, and the soldiers on board unceremoniously fired bullets at the remaining Qing troops in the trench.

Dolgon on the city wall saw that the air cushion landing craft was so domineering, and he knew how ridiculous the so-called trench was, and he was also frightened that the Tiance Army had such an omnipotent beast on water and land!

He couldn't do anything about the killing outside the city, such a giant was really difficult to match by manpower, and he could only hope that the city wall could block the monster's path.

The air-cushion landing craft was only halfway through, and the artillery had already adjusted the parameters and began shelling the city wall to clear all kinds of artillery from the southern wall.

Dense shells and precise strikes, the artillery on the city walls was swept away.

Dolgon got off the city wall at the first time, he knew that under the intensive artillery bombardment of the Tiance army, there was no one standing on the city wall, so he simply withdrew all the Qing troops on the city wall. He can only hope for street fighting, and he can only be beaten passively against the Tiance Army face-to-face.

Subsequent armored vehicles and infantry swept through the trenches outside the city like a sieve and attacked the city of Pyongyang, where the Qing army had been completely annihilated, and it was unknown whether Haugbel would live or die.

The gates of Pyongyang were dispensable for an army like the Cheonce Army, and they were smashed in an instant by recoilless guns and 30-millimeter rapid-fire guns of amphibious assault vehicles.

The first to storm the city were armoured vehicles belonging to the 5th Regiment and the Special Operations Team, followed by the infantry.

The Qing army in ambush in the urn city at the gate of the city swarmed out, hoping to fight a surprise attack by the Tiance army. Ignoring the dense crowd of Qing troops, the armored vehicle accelerated and crashed past, and flames continued to spray from the observation ports on both sides, and the Qing troops on both sides were knocked down one after another. The follow-up vehicles continued to replenish their swords, and the infantry accompanying the attack continued to clear the remnants of the enemy.

From the end of the artillery bombardment to the attack into the city, the attack distance of three or four kilometers, the Tiance army only took less than a quarter of an hour, and the battle was fought like a cloud and water, without any stop.

The 1st and 3rd regiments circled the city and attacked Wangcheng Mountain in the north of the city.

The view of the peony peak of Wangseong Mountain is broad, and you can overlook the whole of Pyongyang City. By the time Hwang Tae-gil was sent here, the city of Pyongyang was already filled with the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The enemy army has stormed the city of Pyongyang! Dai Shan reported to Huang Taiji in shock.

This is really fast, with the frequency of ancient wars, it will take several days to break through a big city like Pyongyang at the fastest. The Qing army took Pyongyang, where the Korean army was stationed, but also besieged but did not attack, and finally after reaching Seoul, the Koreans surrendered on their own initiative.
