Text Volume 10, Chapter 4, Section 5 The roar of the angry dragon

A swan whistle sounded, and the 400,000 Ming soldiers outside Shenyang couldn't help but thunder with joy, and while the Han Wei army and the gunners of the Dangkou battalion were busy, they sang the war song of the Han family.

"Wearing iron armor and carrying a long knife. The battle with the son is long.

Fight with the enemy, die and live together. Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack.

Step on the swallow and chase the beard. Fight with the son, and sing fearlessly. ”

"All of us are united, and the mountains can be shaken.

Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting.

The Lord will kiss me better than my parents.

Committing military law is not free.

The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter is written.

Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late!

Report to the Son of Heaven and save the head of Qian.

Kill all the slaves and find a marquis. ”

A burst of majestic Han war songs sounded, the sound shook the four wilderness, and deterred the bold! The Qing soldiers on the city wall of Shenyang had already trembled, and they had long lost the courage to fight to the end before the war. If it weren't for the Qing Emperor Dolgon's strict order to supervise the battle of the Manchu army with white flag guards everywhere, it is estimated that most of the Qing army and civilians who were temporarily requisitioned at this time would have already collapsed on the spot!

At this time, Dolgon was in a hidden soldier cave under the southern city wall, listening to hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers outside the city singing the Han war song over and over again, and a sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

It seems that he saw the shadow of the Huns, Xianbei people, and Turkic people who migrated and fled for their lives thousands of years ago, and felt the sadness and despair when they were chased and killed by the Han and Tang Dynasty iron cavalry and had no way to enter the earth, and a heart-rending pain instantly occupied Dorgon's heart.

"The Ming Kingdom has been passed down for nearly three hundred years, doesn't China rise and fall every three hundred years? I should take advantage of the situation to rise and overwhelm the Central Plains! But, why! The Ming Dynasty was obviously terminally ill, why did it suddenly kill a Liu Yunwei, and why did there appear such a strong army as the Hanwei Army! What's going on! ”

Dolgon's eyes were red and he muttered to himself, never understanding why the Ming Dynasty suddenly rose and a strong army appeared again.

Perhaps, as a Tartar, Dolgon will never understand that whenever China suffers suffering and crisis, the Han family will come forward, and heroes in troubled times will appear in China, leading thousands of hot-blooded sons and daughters to fight in all directions and rebuild China!

Due to various reasons, these heroes of China may face a temporary defeat, and China will also sink for a while. But justice may be late, but it will never be absent! The sons of the Han family will never succumb to the fishy Tatars, and the dragon that has been entrenched in China for thousands of years will never let go of its arrogant head! The Tartars may succeed for a while, but sooner or later they will be defeated by Chinese orthodoxy!

At this time, Dolgon and hundreds of thousands of Manchu remnants will face a righteous judgment and welcome the roar of the dragon!

Outside the city of Shenyang, the artillery group position of the Hanwei army and the artillery group position of the Dangkou battalion erected a trumpet flag almost at the same time, informing Liu Yunwei and Li Dingguo that the artillery group had been filled and that they could open artillery at any time to bombard the city of Shenyang garrisoned by the Qing army.

"Fire!"

Liu Yunwei and Li Dingguo roared loudly at the same time, and at this time, there were two hundred tall and strong guards around each of them, and these soldiers immediately used all their strength to roar: "Open the cannon!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the 250,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army and the 150,000 soldiers of the Dangkou Battalion roared in unison: "Gale! Gale! Gale! ”

After three roars, the 990 artillery pieces of the Hanwei Army Artillery Group and the 450 artillery pieces of the Dangkou Battalion opened fire almost simultaneously! The loud sound of more than 1,400 artillery pieces almost collapsed the city wall of Shenyang City, and the south and east walls of Shenyang City were completely covered by cannons like a rain of arrows almost in an instant!

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a record of more than 1,400 artillery salvos fired at the same time, and the scene of a thousand cannons firing in the Battle of Shenyang is enough for the historians of the Ming Dynasty to record the history of the war!

At this time, the huge roar of 1,400 guns was like a dragon's roar, almost deaf to the gunners who were skilled in loading and firing guns, and even some people had turned pale, and blood had flowed from their noses and mouths, and they had obviously been shaken out of internal injuries by the huge roar!

However, none of these gunners retreated, and everyone, including Edward and other generals, all stuck to the artillery group position, manipulating the artillery with skillful skills, and even played extraordinarily, so that the two major artillery groups of the Ming army had no gap between the firing cannons, so that the Qing army defending the city was like a deep hell, and they were turned into stumps, broken arms and ashes!

In the two major artillery groups of the Hanwei Army and the Dangkou Battalion, there are a total of 420 large Buddha Lang machine guns, which are mainly responsible for bombarding the defensive facilities on the south and east walls of Shenyang, as well as the main body of the city wall; In addition, there were 510 Huzun cannons in the two major artillery groups of the Ming army, which were mainly responsible for bombarding the south and east city gates, as well as all the locations on the city head that might contain defenders; In the end, it was the 510 Shenji artillery trucks in the two major artillery groups of the Ming army, in the process of bombardment, all of them fired the firing angles of the artillery trucks too high, and threw tens of thousands of sharp arrows dragging the tongues of fire into the city of Shenyang, killing and wounding the Qing army hiding behind the city wall!

At this time, the entire city of Shenyang has turned into a sea of fire, the Qing troops stationed on the south city wall and the east city wall were killed and injured in an instant, the city wall was full of stumps and broken arms, and I don't know where the part of the minced flesh, the fresh blood that was burned and blackened by gunpowder continued to flow down the slope of the city wall, and it actually converged into countless rivers and waterfalls!

And the rest of the Qing soldiers have completely lost the ability to resist, all of them are blind, their eyes are glazed, and they even don't dodge in the face of the cannons whistling past them, and they have been crushed by the unparalleled firepower of the Ming army, and they have become wasters!

The Qing army stationed on the city wall can be described as extremely miserable, but the Qing army hiding in the city is not much better!

In addition to the elite of the Manchu army with the white flag gathered in the center of the city, the 20,000 temporarily recruited Qing soldiers used as reserves also suffered huge casualties, and under the continuous and uninterrupted blows of hundreds of Ming army's divine artillery vehicles, they suddenly collapsed on the spot!

The rebels fled in all directions in the city, and even stormed the 30,000 troops mobilized by the west and north walls, almost disrupting the city's defense system!

After receiving the news, Dolgon, who was hiding in the cave, immediately dispatched thousands of Manchu troops with white flags to suppress it. It took a lot of effort to kill thousands of people before the rebellion was completely suppressed.

Dolgon immediately mobilized the remaining more than 10,000 remnants of the army to the depths of the city, and at the same time gathered the 30,000 troops drawn from the west and north walls of the city into one place, preparing to rush to the south and north walls to support the defense of the city after the Ming army's shelling!

After dealing with these things, Dolgon hid in the cave and waited, but the Ming artillery array outside the city seemed to never stop, wouldn't those Ming artillery be hot? Will the Ming army never run out of ammunition?

What Dolgon didn't know was that both the artillery of the Hanwei Army and the artillery of the Dangkou Battalion adopted the tactic of alternating fire, just like the three-stage fire of the musketeer, and all the artillery was divided into three waves to bombard in turn, so as to prevent the artillery from overheating, and greatly prolong the number and time of the artillery.

Moreover, due to the large number of artillery pieces equipped by the Hanwei army and the Dangkou battalion, even if the tactics of three-stage shooting were adopted, the Qing troops in the city could not detect it, and these Tartars could only tremble in the roar of the artillery array.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The deafening roar of artillery continued for two hours, and by the afternoon, when the two huge artillery groups of the Han Wei Army and the Dangkou Battalion stopped roaring, the originally tall and strong southern and eastern city walls of Shenyang had become incomplete.

On the city wall, the arrow battlements, women's walls, horse faces and other walls have been dilapidated, and many gravels and bricks have fallen from time to time. Before the war, the Qing army arranged the hanging households, ramming rods, cauldrons and other defensive equipment at the head of the city, which had disappeared without a trace, and all of them had become various fragments on the ground.

At this time, there were no Qing soldiers alive on the south and east walls of Shenyang. The 40,000 Qing soldiers who were originally guarding the city wall had either been killed in the fire and were completely killed by the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, or they had fled to the city insanely, and were immediately beheaded by Dolgon's order.

As soon as the battle of attacking and defending Shenyang began, the Qing army had already lost more than 40,000 troops, and the morale of the entire defending army had been completely extinguished by the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army. At this time, all the Qing troops, including Dolgon, were already in a panic, and they had no confidence in the future of this war.

When Dolgon saw that the Ming artillery group had finally stopped, he immediately ordered more than 40,000 reserves in the city to open the city wall, and the south and east walls were each garrisoned with more than 20,000 people.

"Where is Geng Zhongming! Let this dog minion immediately return to the eastern city wall and command the army to defend the city! ”

Dorgon shook off the thick dust from his body, then shouted at him.

However, a pro-soldier next to him stepped forward with a sad face and said: "Your Majesty, Geng Zhongming and the Han army banner soldiers and horses on the east city wall have all died on the city wall, and tens of thousands of horses have not even left a whole corpse!" ”

Hearing this, Dolgon's heart was already like ashes, and he even faintly regretted in his heart that he did not lead the army and the whole clan to retreat to Hetuara as soon as possible like Azig.

Although Hetuara could not stop the onslaught of the Ming army, at least it could delay for a little longer, and perhaps the situation would change.

However, the battle situation in front of him has been regretted by Dolgon, the war drums of the Hanwei army and the Dangkou camp have sounded outside Shenyang, and hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers have roared in unison, and they have begun to reorganize their armies and prepare to cross the moat!

"Hurry up the walls! The life and death of my Qing Dynasty is here, warriors! For the glory of the Qing Dynasty, fight! ”

After speaking, Dolgon led hundreds of his own soldiers to rush to the south wall, and the tens of thousands of troops behind him also divided into two roads, and poured up the south and east walls respectively.

However, the tens of thousands of Qing soldiers and horses had no morale, and they were just threatened with death and numbly poured onto the city wall.
