After receiving the news of the annihilation of the second iron cavalry, Dolgon also completely gave up the idea of sending troops to delay the main force of the Ming army. After all, now the combat power of the Qing army has seriously declined, and it can no longer be compared with the previous elite iron cavalry army. There are more troops sent, although it can delay the advance of the Ming army, but the strength to defend Shenyang City will be insufficient, and once defeated, it will definitely be a big defeat, which will seriously affect the confidence of the main army to defend Shenyang City!

What's more, according to the scout's report, at this time, the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were only one day away from Shenyang City, and there was no need to make any more moves.

After thinking about this, Dolgon waited for the arrival of the Ming army with peace of mind, and prepared to inflict heavy losses on the Ming army under the city of Shenyang, so as to earn bargaining chips for himself and the Ming Dynasty.

That's right! At this time, Dolgon no longer had any hope for the current big war, and only hoped to kill and injure as many Ming troops as possible, delay the duration of the war, and even scorch the Shenyang generation! It is to make the Ming court feel that Shenyang City is a hedgehog curled up, and there is no way to start! So that the Ming court can no longer support it, because Dolgon knows very well that the Ming Dynasty has exhausted its national strength in order to support the conquest of hundreds of thousands of troops under Liu Yunwei, and now the time is on the side of the Qing Dynasty, and the longer the time, the more unfavorable it will be to the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, Dolgon believed that as long as he could withstand the onslaught of the Ming army and drag the war down, he would definitely be able to achieve a turnaround. After all, what the civil officials in the Ming court are like, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon is also very clear, those civil officials will definitely jump up and down to let Liu Yunwei withdraw as soon as possible!

In this way, there is still hope for the Qing Dynasty!

In order to achieve this goal, Dolgon has purged all the Han Chinese people in the city of Shenyang!

The Han people who were willing to shave their hair and return to obedience were incorporated into the Han army flag, regardless of men, women, old and children, all went to the city to fight, men and strong women fought with the Ming army with swords, and the old people and children carried the materials and corpses to defend the city, and no one could be idle.

As for the rest of the Han people who were unwilling to be slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were all driven out of Shenyang City by Dolgon's order, just outside the east gate of Shenyang City, and were collectively slaughtered by the Qing army, and the bones of hundreds of thousands of Han people were piled up into a mountain in a blink of an eye, and the rolling blood even filled the moat of Shenyang City!

Dolgon ordered the corpses of hundreds of thousands of dead people to be reinforced with earth, and built a half-man-high, ten-mile-long horse retaining wall, which stretched east and south of Shenyang City, as the first line of defense to intercept the Ming army.

After that, there is the moat of Shenyang City, which is very wide, 80 steps wide and 20 steps deep. But Dolgon was not enough, and organized troops to widen and deepen the moat, so that the moat reached an astonishing width of 100 paces and a depth of 30 paces! Moreover, countless sharp wooden piles were arranged between the moat and the city wall to block the attack of the Ming army. In addition, the four gates of Shenyang City were also ordered to be strengthened by Dolgon, wrapped with iron sheets up to two inches thick, and wrapped in three layers of iron sheets, even the bolts and door shafts were reinforced, and a small gate was temporarily built behind the city gate to prevent accidents, and behind the small gate was a half-human high retaining wall, which can be described as foolproof!

As for the city wall of Shenyang City, Dolgon increased the height of Shenyang's city wall by one-third on the basis of the original very tall and strong, and added ramming rods, hanging households and other equipment to defend the city, prepared a large number of ash bottles, rolling wood, and stones, and collected more than 200 cannons, and spread large cauldrons on the city wall to boil water and gold juice.

At the same time, Dolgon deployed the main army of 40,000 Qing troops in the city, and did not put it on the city wall to fight with the Ming army, but only transferred 4,000 warriors to guard the four city walls, and was responsible for leading 100,000 temporarily recruited auxiliaries to defend the city, and first fight with the Ming army.

The 100,000 auxiliaries were divided into five divisions of 20,000 men each, one on each of the four walls, leaving one in reserve and ready to support the various defensive points.

In addition, in order to hold on to the city as long as possible, Dorgon ordered all the food left by the people in the city to be replenished. In addition, Dolgon also sent an army of iron cavalry to search within 20 miles of Shenyang City, killing all the people around Shenyang City, and transporting all the captured money and grain back to Shenyang City as military rations.

In this way, Dolgon not only accumulated enough grain and grass for the Qing army to support more than 100,000 troops for several months, but also played a role in strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, so that hundreds of thousands of Ming troops could not eat in place around Shenyang City!

After deploying everything, Dolgon's heart settled down a little, looking at the city of Shenyang, which has been built into an iron wall, and the Qing soldiers who were already nervous and busy, Dolgon was confident that the Ming army would be blocked under the city, and cause huge casualties to the Ming army, so that the Ming court could retreat in the face of difficulties!

And so, at last Dorgon slept soundly that night, and the next morning.

Refreshed, Dolgon put on his armor and led a hundred iron horsemen to the eastern wall of Shenyang City, and was about to check the condition of the defenders, when suddenly he felt the ground seem to tremble!

Dolgon looked into the distance, and saw a fiery red line slowly appear on the horizon covered with morning glow in the east! Slowly, this fiery red line gradually enlarged, and it became an overwhelming Ming army array!

I saw that a big banner with the word "Li" fluttered in the wind in the military array, 150,000 soldiers of the Dangkou battalion formed a large formation and slowly moved forward, 10,000 iron cavalry troops surrounded the large array, the entire Ming army array was murderous, and the fiery red uniforms on the soldiers seemed to be full of thunderous fury, which could turn the entire Shenyang City into ashes!

Dolgon's expression grimly looked at the Ming army that had stopped, and was lined up in front of the retaining wall formed by the corpses of Han people outside the city, and the confidence that he had finally mustered up in his heart was a little lacking in an instant.

"The Ming army's formation is too strong, this battle is not easy to fight!"

Just when Dolgon sighed, he received an urgent report from Geng Zhongming, the guard of the southern city wall: Liu Yunwei led more than 200,000 Hanwei troops to kill!

After receiving this news, Dolgon couldn't help but shudder, and then rushed to the south wall with a gloomy face to watch the battle.

At this time, Geng Zhongming had been frightened by the terrifying military formation of the Han Wei Army, his face was pale and trembling, as if he had lost his family dog after seeing a tiger, and he had no fighting spirit.

Dolgon glared at Geng Zhongming angrily, and then looked at the large array of Hanwei troops outside the city. It's okay not to look at it, Dolgon looked at it, and the whole person seemed to be frozen, looking straight out with his eyes, and he was also frightened!

At this time, the Hanwei army was divided into nine huge phalanxes, and each battalion was a huge phalanx. The four huge phalanxes of the Feiyu Battalion, the Trap Camp, the Zhichong Battalion, and the Yingyang Battalion were in front, the three huge phalanxes of the Yulin Battalion, the Huben Battalion, and the Yueqi Battalion were behind, and the huge phalanx composed of the pacesetter battalion led by Liu Yunwei was assembled in the middle of the whole army; And Wen Poyu led 40,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Changshui Battalion to run around the city, tightly sealing the west gate and north gate of Shenyang City, turning Shenyang City into an isolated island!

At the same time, Liu Yunwei also gathered all the artillery of the whole army, and formed an unprecedentedly large artillery array in front of the large army array, and countless jet-black artillery sparkled in the sunlight, which made the hearts of Dolgon and the Qing army defending the city bitter.

The battle flags waving in the wind, the spears and halberds like jungles, and the horizontal and vertical, extremely strict military formations, even showed the momentum of the Hanwei Army as the strongest army in the world, which made the Qing army on the city wall suddenly deflated, and it was impossible to give birth to the courage to fight against it!

Seeing this, Dorgon roared violently: "Mobilize the artillery of the western and northern cities!" The artillery of the West City is transported here, and the artillery of the North City is transported to the East! Fast! ”

Geng Zhongming, who was next to him, also reacted, and shouted in an almost crying voice: "Hurry up!" Get moving, go carry the artillery! ”

Then Dolgon ordered the whole army to prepare for battle, and all the gunners were immediately in position, as soon as the Hanwei army crossed the retaining wall, they immediately opened artillery bombardment, and the huge artillery array of the Hanwei army must not be allowed to play its role!

Dolgon knew very well in his heart that according to the morale of the Qing army now, as long as the huge artillery group of the Hanwei army began to roar, it would not be long before the army collapsed! At that time, he and the Qing Kingdom will be completely finished, and a collapsed army, even if there is a strong city defense and more troops, will not be able to hold Shenyang City!

Just when Dolgon and his Qing army were hurriedly mobilizing artillery, Liu Yunwei was already thundering in the large array of the Han Wei army.

The bloody and blurred horse wall in front of the army was like a resounding slap in the face, hitting Liu Yunwei in the face and also on the faces of the 400,000 Ming soldiers!

"Pass the order! The army stormed Shenyang City at any cost, and after the city was broken, there were no chickens and dogs left! ”

Liu Yunwei roared angrily, and a huge roar almost resounded in the sky.

At this time, the 250,000 soldiers of the Hanwei army were also enraged by the inhumane atrocities of the Qing army, and after receiving Liu Yunwei's order, the soldiers of the whole army began to hit the ground with the weapons in their hands. Almost at the same time, there was also a loud sound from the east of the soldiers of the Dangkou Battalion striking the ground with their weapons!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The war drums of the Han Wei army and the Dangkou camp army were also beaten, and the huge rhythm sound spread throughout the entire Shenyang city, and each blow seemed to hit the hearts of the Qing soldiers and Dolgon.

"Hanging in the sky!"

"Bury Hu Zisai!"

"Hu no one!"

"Han Daochang!"

"Hu no one!"

"Han Daochang!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

For a time, the murderous atmosphere outside Shenyang was surging to the sky, and the ten-mile-long horse retaining wall seemed to feel the anger of 400,000 Ming army soldiers, as well as the grievances of countless people who died tragically in the hands of the Tartars, and it collapsed in the roar of the Ming army soldiers!

Dolgon looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly his heart was broken, and he roared loudly: "Fire! Fire now! ”
