Chapter 285: The City is Broken

"The Ming army in the south today is a little strange, they have been trying to blow down the southern wall at any cost, but so far, there is no threat to the southern wall for the time being." Li Yongfang replied.

"Take me to see what's going on?" Huang Taiji hurriedly said.

"Wow."

Li Yongfang took Huang Taiji to the south of the city wall, pointed to the busy Ming army under the city wall, and said, "That's where they have been bombing." ”

"We can't let them blow up again, otherwise Shengjing will be in danger." Although Huang Taiji said the reason, he always felt that the biggest crisis came from here.

"The number of Ming troops on the southern wall is small, but it is extremely fierce, and our army does not have many defensive equipment on the southern wall, so we often take care of one or the other. And the pressure on the east side is very strong. Li Yongfang explained.

"Bring all the equipment to the west and north to defend the city, remember to be fast." Huang Taiji immediately ordered.

"Wow."

"Why didn't the Ming army use the method of planting explosives? And with this stupid method. Huang Taiji asked.

"If it is planted with explosives, it is very easy to deal with, and the Ming army uses this method, but we don't know how to deal with it for a while?" Li Yongfang said.

"Bring me my bow." Huang Taiji said.

"Great Khan, by all means, the Ming army has sharpshooters below, their marksmanship is extremely accurate, and they have shot many soldiers on the tower of our army, as long as someone probes our army, it is very likely to be shot, which makes our army very passive." Li Yongfang explained.

"The firearms of the Ming army are getting better and better, which makes my Dajin have this big defeat, if the Ming army is equipped with such an apocalypse gun on a large scale, the Ming army will be invincible in the world." Huang Taiji sighed.

"I heard that the Apocalypse Gun, the Ming Court is very closely guarded, and Wang Erxin was forced to defect to the Great Khan because of stealing the Apocalypse Gun, so it can be seen that the Apocalypse Gun of the Ming Court should not be able to be mass-produced." Li Yongfang said.

"Wang Erxin did say that the production of the Apocalypse Gun is extremely difficult......" Huang Taiji had not finished speaking, when suddenly there was a loud bang, and the entire southern city wall shook, and the hole in the southern city wall was suddenly blown out of a large hole more than one person high under the constant blasting of the guards at any cost.

"Immediately transfer people and equipment, and the Ming army must not be bombed again, otherwise the southern city wall will collapse." Huang Taiji said loudly.

……

This big hole also gave Xiong Tingbi and Chen Ding great confidence, and at this time, the defense strength of Houjin in the southern city wall increased sharply several times, and the guards could no longer drop explosives into the hole as easily as they did at the beginning, and continue to expand the results of the battle.

"Your Excellency, please use heavy artillery to support the Guards, our army will surely blow up the city wall today." Chen Ding was still expressionless when he spoke.

Xiong Tingbi glanced at Chen Ding, and stopped talking. At this time, the bombardment of the city walls with heavy artillery is very likely to injure the Guards by mistake.

"Order, order heavy artillery to bombard the southern wall of Shengjing to cover the siege of the guards." Xiong Tingbi thought for a while and said.

Xiong Tingbi gave an order, and the heavy artillery of the Ming army roared on the battlefield again, and the ammunition left of the heavy artillery of the Ming army was not much, but there was no problem in maintaining it for more than an hour, and if it was saved, it could even last for two hours.

After the Ming army used heavy artillery, Huang Taiji was also erected down the South City Tower. With the support of heavy artillery, the Jin army on the upper tower was bombed so that they couldn't raise their heads, although the guards were often injured by mistake, but it was obvious that the guards had already put life and death out of the way, and in order to blow up the southern city wall, they put more people this time. The hole has become larger, which also means that more explosive packs can be placed.

This time, Chen Dingdu personally went into battle, he personally commanded the hole to be stuffed with explosives packets, and then personally lit the fuse. There was a loud bang again in the southern wall of Shengjing, although the city wall was not blown up this time, but the entire city wall was already crumbling, just as the guards were about to drop the explosive package again, suddenly the entire city wall collapsed, and I don't know if the city wall was slow to react, or the heavy artillery played a role at this time.

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins." Seeing the city wall collapsing, the Ming army couldn't help but shout.

……

"My lord, my lord......" The guards found that Chen Nail had been hit by the falling stones of the city wall.

"Leave me alone, hold on to the gap no matter what." Chen Ding said with pain in pain.

"No. If you can stand up, follow me. ”

The individual combat capability of the Guards is still extremely strong, and they quickly seized the gap.

"Sortie." Xiong Tingbi gave an order, and the dragoons took the lead in attacking. Compared to the Guanning cavalry, the dragoons were specially trained for infantry combat.

When the southern wall was blown out of the breach, it meant that the war had come to an end. The Ming army continued to pour in from the southern city wall, and gradually took full control of the southern part of Shengjing.

In order to prevent the Ming army from using artillery to break through the city gate, the city gate of Shengjing was blocked by Huang Taiji, which made the resistance of the Houjin army very tenacious, after attacking Shengjing, the Ming army and the Houjin army launched a fierce street battle, Huang Taiji also personally put on armor to participate in this battle, in the street battle, the Ming army's marksman once again played a great role, this time Xiong Tingbi's order, the marksman specially shot the Houjin officer.

The resistance of the Houjin army was unusually stubborn, and even if the Ming army had the advantage in weapons, the street battle also ended after two days. In the end, Huang Taiji was wounded by a marksman and fell into the hands of the Ming army.

The news of Xiong Tingbi's capture of Shengjing made the whole country rejoice. Under the long-term publicity, Houjin is like a stone pressing on Daming's body, and it has finally been moved away today. Zhu Youxiao's prestige finally reached the extreme in the Ming Dynasty, and the title of "Lord of the Ming Dynasty" was put forward by the "Ming Imperial Daily" for the first time, and some folk newspapers even commented that Zhu Youxiao's cultural and martial arts had surpassed Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Tomorrow we will leave for Shengjing." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, after going to Shengjing, the road will be closed by heavy snow, and it may be necessary to return to Beijing until the beginning of spring." Sun Chengzong said.

"It's okay, Jianyu is one of my biggest enemies in this life, this time to pacify Jianyu, how can I not go to Shengjing to meet Huang Taiji in person?" Zhu Youxiao said.

"No, Nachen immediately ordered the whole army to prepare and go to Shengjing tomorrow." Sun Chengzong said.

……

Although the Ming army captured Shengjing, there were still many things to do, especially if Zhu Youxiao wanted to go to Shengjing in person, and the security problem must be solved immediately. Zhu Youxiao had already ordered a ban on the slaughter of the city, and most of the remaining people in the city at this time were Han Chinese, and most of the Jurchens had already evacuated Shengjing.

The first thing Xiong Tingbi had to do was to screen the Han and Jurchens, and separate the Han and Jurchens from each other.
