Chapter 315: Attack on Shengjing
Ming Jian brought skiing techniques to the battlefield, leaving the Qing army feeling helpless, and the food supply in various cities soon became problematic.
Originally, the grain and grass of the Qing army were all problems, and most of the occupied cities did not have the ability to be self-sufficient and relied on Shengjing for supplies.
Now that the Ming army has been tossed like this, the supply line has been interrupted.
At this time, Dolgon also suddenly sent people to various cities to start lobbying for them to defect to him, the king of the state.
Someone still agreed, and the foundation of Huang Taiji began to waver.
In the spring of the following year, Huang Taiji suddenly discovered that each of the eight banners of the Manchu and Han Dynasty had three banners, and they didn't listen to his dispatch!
The Ming army took the opportunity to launch an attack on Shengjing City, with artillery taking the lead, the Shenji battalion responding, and Sanwei being the last attacking force.
The Qing soldiers who took refuge were also incorporated into a new class of troops, mercenaries, led by Dolgon, and after going around Shengjing, they intercepted Huang Taiji's escape. In fact, they couldn't be sure, why did Ming Jian send them to intercept it, how could Shengjing City be so easy to attack?
They obviously didn't know that the sharp weapon that Ming Jian relied on this time was the flowering cannon, and after a winter of development and research, it was finally developed by the craftsmen, so that not only the weight of the cannon itself was reduced a lot, but also the power was huge.
This time, all the 100 artillery pieces were pulled to the foot of Shengjing City by horse-drawn carriage, and they were aimed at Shengjing City from afar, because of the long range, these cannons could not be seen in Shengjing City.
As soon as the hour came, Ming Jian immediately ordered the cannon to be fired.
One shell after another flew to the head of Shengjing City from several kilometers away, and the shells exploded immediately after they landed, and the first round of attacks blew Shengjing City to pieces, and also blew up the Qing army.
In the past, the artillery of the Ming army was solid shells, which could be crushed, but today it is completely different, after the shells exploded, a large number of shrapnel flew to the Qing army, killing and wounding the Qing soldiers.
"Hell, what kind of weapon is this Ming Army?"
"Run, the Ming army has the help of the gods, hide quickly!"
"Oh, these damn Ming soldiers, why are they so powerful now?"
......
Shengjing City soon fell into chaos.
Huang Taiji, who got the report, hurriedly convened a meeting of his subordinate military ministers.
"Your Majesty, you can't wait any longer, hurry up and abandon the city, the Ming army must have used more powerful artillery, this kind of artillery is not at all something that the warriors can resist with their bodies, inferred from the speed at which the Ming army fires shells, the number of artillery of the Ming army must be a lot this time, and if you don't abandon the city, it will be too late."
Azig was an impatient man, and he directly asked Huang Taiji to abandon the city and escape.
Huang Taiji scolded angrily: "What bastard are you talking about? Dare to shake the hearts of the army, come on, press out Azig and behead it, in order to boost the morale of the army! ”
"Yes!"
Emperor Taiji had already been full of Azig and Dordor, who had betrayed him, and these two were Dorgon's own brothers, whom he had always been wary of.
This time he finally found an opportunity, and Azig shook the morale of the army, which was definitely enough to kill.
In fact, Azig was telling the truth, the cannonball fell into Shengjing City like hail, exploding a large area, flesh and blood flying, the scene was very terrifying, Azig's subordinates were killed and injured very heavily, and more than half of them died in a short time.
"Your Majesty, no, how can you mess up your own position now that the war is currently in the present? Although Azig is guilty, please let him make meritorious contributions! ”
Duoduo hurriedly came out to intercede.
Huang Taiji said angrily: "Azig is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can he still wear a crime and make meritorious contributions?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Ming army relies on artillery, it is better to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle, the younger brother is willing to go out of the city with Azig, looking for an opportunity to destroy the artillery of the Ming army, please Your Majesty's permission!"
Duoduo said busily.
Huang Taiji snorted coldly and said, "You want to join that traitor, right?" Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. ”
Duoduo said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is too worried, please send a prison army, if the courtier brother has a heart of disobedience, he is willing to lead the neck and kill!" ”
Azig also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the younger brother knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to make meritorious contributions. ”
The attitude of the two made Huang Taiji calm down, Azig was brave and good at fighting, to be honest, he was really reluctant to kill.
"In this way, I will open the net, and after you leave the city, the goal is to find the artillery of the Ming army, and then destroy them, so that I will give you a great credit! If you want to learn from Dorgon, then your family will be the victims, and I won't send any overseers, go. ”
Huang Taiji said.
"Yes!"
Duoduo and Azig hurriedly said.
The two of them ordered the men and horses of the headquarters and quickly left Shengjing City, thinking that the artillery position of the Ming army was coming.
However, the movements of the Qing army were soon discovered by the Ming army.
"These Tartars are still a bit clever when they want to destroy our artillery first. The Shenji Battalion is ready for battle! ”
Ming Jian immediately ordered the Shenji Battalion to prepare to deal with the Qing army, then they had to use firearms, the current firecrackers are more powerful, all of them are newly made flintlock pistols, although there are not many of them, but the attacks are more continuous and destructive.
The Qing army came quickly, Duoduo and Azig were also ruined, and if they didn't succeed, they could only become benevolent, and if Shengjing fell, it would definitely be difficult for the two of them to survive, let alone their families.
However, before touching the artillery position of the Ming Sword, the Qing army first tasted the taste of the Ming Sword Fire Gun.
A volley of bullets came over and knocked the Qing army to pieces.
After a while, the second row of bullets came again, and the Qing army fell again, followed by the third row, and the Qing army kept falling, without a chance to move forward.
"Take a detour now, take a detour! Walk! ”
Duoduo saw clearly behind him and hurriedly ordered.
The Qing army sprinted this time, and a third of them died, and if they rushed again, I am afraid they will have to explain everything.
However, the detour is not easy to make, the artillery positions of the Ming army are very well protected, in addition to the Shenji battalion, there are also three guards and guards.
Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin couldn't hold it back, and took the initiative to rush up, and the two of them entered the Qing army, which was a humanoid tank, killing the Qing army on their backs, and the three guards behind them also rushed over, and as soon as the two sides met, the battle became fierce.
The Qing army is going to be desperate, so the Ming army can't please for a while, but the patience of the Ming army is very good, and they know that they can't solve the Qing army in front of them for a while, so they adopt attrition tactics and take turns to fight with the Qing army.
And Ming Jian also quickly learned that the soldiers and horses in front of him were led by Duoduo and Azig, and before Ming Jian also asked Dolgon to send people to surrender these two people, but these two people did not say that since they did not surrender, they would only die.
"Don't let any of them go!"
Ming Jian ordered coldly at the moment, and Sanwei increased his troops again and began to attack the Qing army.
At this moment, the Qing army was a little overwhelmed, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army continued to increase after a winter of training, which has exceeded the combat effectiveness of the Qing army.
Gradually, the Qing army began to retreat, and although Duoduo and Azig were desperately shouting, they could not stop.
"Providence is so, and we can't help it! Now there is only a battle to the death, since God does not let us live, let's end this life in the way of a warrior! ”
Duoduo let out a long sigh, and then slapped his horse and rushed towards the Ming army.
Azig also showed sadness on his face, no one is not afraid of death, but now there is indeed no way to live, and the artillery positions of the Ming army cannot be destroyed, and the two of them will only be humiliated when they go back.
Azig also urged the horse to follow, but he seemed to be a little unlucky, and directly bumped into Li Yuanba.
Ming Jian brought skiing techniques to the battlefield, leaving the Qing army feeling helpless, and the food supply in various cities soon became problematic.
