"Hit them with a cannon? That's an exaggeration, right? Origin asked curiously. + Top Novel,

Gao Yang shook his head slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This is the battlefield, as long as you can destroy the enemy, nothing is exaggerated." ”

The artillery fire of the Ming army soon flew over. The Napoleonic cannons were bombarded with astonishing accuracy, startling the Manchu soldiers who were lying on the ground.

The black iron ball pierced the sky with scorching kinetic energy and a screeching sound, slamming into the ruins of the southern city wall. The powerful kinetic energy instantly shot up those fragments, forming a terrifying rain of scattered bullets.

Countless Manchu soldiers were screaming and wailing in the shelling. Very few were hit directly, and most of the casualties came from those bursting pieces! When splashed by a cannonball carrying powerful kinetic energy, these fragments are no less powerful than a shotgun shot face to face!

After several rounds of shelling, the southern wall fell silent again. It's just that the crimson color on the ruins is more vivid.

As a middle-level and high-level figure in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Sony, who was looking at the city with complicated eyes, couldn't understand what those Ming troops thought at the moment.

Bombarding these blocking soldiers with precious artillery? At least hundreds of shells were knocked out by that shelling. Add to that the consumption of gunpowder and the wear and tear of the artillery, and that's a lot of money.

Such a round of artillery fire only killed and wounded less than 300 soldiers. It's not a good deal at all! There are Taoists in this world, but where are these firearms going to go?! Ming Jun, is it crazy?

Gao Yang is certainly not crazy. On the contrary, he is now very normal.

Many things that seem incomprehensible to people in this time and space are just ordinary choices for Gao Yang.

Gao Yang had never sought to rely on the numerical superiority of his army to achieve victory. That kind of victory would not be worth the loss, because there would be a lot of human losses. The phrase "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither" has no meaning for the dead.

Life that seems insignificant to people in this era is the most precious in Gao Yang's eyes. This is mainly due to the different education and understanding of affairs.

Gao Yang would rather choose to use the huge consumption of materials to bulldoze the enemy than let his own people die in vain. Who was not born by his father. Raised by parents? Who doesn't have their own story with laughter and tears? It took at least ten or twenty years from birth to adulthood, is it just to take such a sudden attack when you are fighting?!

When it's time to use your life, you must be desperate, which has nothing to say. However, when you can exchange firepower for losses, why should you protect those dead objects with your life? No kidding!

Nothing is more important than life!

......

The smoke of gunpowder and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the sky over the entire city of Shenyang. Even if the night is clear today, you can't see the stars in the night sky when you stand on the ground.

A cool night breeze blew, and the smell of earth mixed with gunsmoke and fishy smell poured into the noses of the Manchu-clothed minions who were stationed in the ruins. Stimulated, these sluggish, bloodstained soldiers almost vomited.

Of course, they don't have anything to vomit about now. Fought until now, in order to prevent the Ming army from forcibly filling the moat. Dolgon threw tens of thousands of men into the southern wall one after another!

When the dark night fell, the Ming soldiers who filled the moat returned to the camp to enjoy the fragrant dinner.

Manchu soldiers who survived the brutal shelling and musket fire during the day. Look at the devastation all around you. There were red blood stains all around, and there were stumps and broken arms and all kinds of broken internal organs scattered everywhere. A mess of all sorts of indistinguishable shapes was scattered everywhere.

In this case, who still has the appetite to eat those cold dry foods that make people unappetizing at first glance after a long day of hard work, and who still have the appetite to eat those cold dry foods that make people unappetizing at first glance?

The corner of a collapsed house inside the city walls. Two Manchu soldiers with tired faces leaned together, nibbling on the cold dry food in their hands without a mouthful.

"Dachengzi, do you think we can survive this time?" A soldier with a bloodshot face and bloodshot eyes took a bite of the cold dry food. He slammed sideways into his companion who was sitting next to him.

The soldier called Dachengzi, whose real name is Xu Youcheng, sighed lightly. glanced sideways at him, and said in a low voice, "Changming, if we really die here this time, I don't know if we can go back to our hometown after death." ”

He Changming, whose face was darkened by the smoke and fire, paused slightly. Silently lowered his head and sighed as if he couldn't be checked.

"Poof!" With a thud, he spit out the dry food in his mouth. Looking up, not far away, the flags were crowded around enjoying the hot broth, and eating beef and mutton in a big gulp.

Not only did they have meat, but they also got a bowl of wine each. There were even a few cigarettes smuggled from the Jingshi!

Smell the ethereal aroma of meat and wine. A flash of resentment flashed in He Changming's eyes. Leaned against Xu Youcheng on the side, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "None of us can die." At least not for the sake of these wretches! ”

He Changming and Xu Youcheng are from Dezhou, Shandong, and they are still small in the same village. A few years ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and ravaged the area of Beizhili, and the troops passed through Dezhou. At that time, their village was also devastated by the disaster, and there is not much to say about the tragic experience. The two of them and the young men in the village were escorted all the way to Liaodong. After that, there was an endless life as a slave. To this day, only the two of them are still alive among the companions who survived the death march together.

This time, the Ming Dynasty made a big northern expedition to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Dorgon recruited troops on a large scale to fight against the Ming army. Coated minions like He Changming and them were all armed and used as cannon fodder. When the Ming army began to fill in the moat outside the southern city wall, a large number of them were sent over to be used as cannon fodder, and in just one day, these coated minions lost at least thousands of people!

Xu Youcheng, who looked gloomy, moved his gaze to a pile of rubble not far away. There were a large number of corpses lying on the sidelines, all of them in the same coats as them.

At this moment, these companions, who were still talking and laughing together in the morning, have all become mutilated and lifeless corpses at this time.

And in a small courtyard not far away, dozens of seriously injured and undead Baoyi were still moaning in and out of breath. Listening to that voice makes people shiver deep in their hearts!

Naturally, the bodies of the full man were carried away, and the wounded were also transported to the inner city for proper treatment. As for them, it can only be hehe.

In this chaotic last days, the lives of people like them are too low.

"We can't just die." He Changming gritted his teeth, and there was a look of determination in his eyes. Carry the dry food in your hand into your arms (as a slave who can't eat enough to eat and work hard all year round, even such a hard-to-swallow dry food can't be wasted at this moment.) Clenched his fists tightly and whispered, "Let's go to the Ming Army!" ”

"What?!" Xu Youcheng's hands shook when he was frightened by his companion's words, and the dry food fell to the ground. After being a slave for so many years, Xu Youcheng had long been frightened by the cruel methods of the Manchus. At this time, when I heard my companion's words, the first reaction in my heart was that I wanted to go to the informant!

"Can't you see it?" He Changming didn't notice that his companion's face turned pale in an instant, and said in a low voice with a hint of excitement: "This time Da Ming has won!" It's only been a day since the siege began, and thousands of men and horses have been lost here, but they haven't even touched the skin of the Ming army! That is, to kill some people. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has run out of gas. ”

"But......" Xu Youcheng came back to his senses and felt that his companion's words were not wrong. However, he thinks it's not that simple. "We are also soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty now. I heard that Da Ming doesn't want to take prisoners, and if he catches it, he will be beheaded. ”

The propaganda strategy of the Manchu Qing was still good, at least small soldiers like Xu Youcheng believed that the Ming army was cruel and vicious, and did not leave prisoners in battle.

"We're Han!" He Changming whispered in his ear, "We were forced, we were arrested!" After breathing a sigh of relief, he looked left and right, then lowered his voice and continued, "Let's contact some people and dedicate this place." ”

"Hiss~~~" Xu Youcheng gasped, his eyes full of horror. His face turned pale with fright at the bold idea of his companion, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Don't be stupid." He Changming saw the timidity in his companion's eyes, took a deep breath, gasped slightly, and said, "If we don't do it, it won't be long before we die here!" Don't you want to avenge your mother-in-law?! ”

He Changming's last sentence touched Xu Youcheng. I don't remember how long it has been, but Xu Youcheng, who has been living in a daze until now, finally remembered his mother-in-law who had not been through the door for a long time.

When those hideous-looking builders with slender pigtails on the back of their heads broke down the door that day, Silver smiled and pressed his mother-in-law down on the bed. The timid Xu Youcheng squatted behind the door with his head in his hands, trembling!

Listening to the shrill howl of his mother-in-law, Xu You shrank his head as if he was a turtle. Before he was tied up and pushed out of the house by the group of prisoners who had finished the work, he saw his mother-in-law's dead eyes!

"It's done!" At this moment, at this moment of life and death, I saw that when the Ming army came in, I would definitely die! Xu Youcheng finally felt that he was a man.

......

The night was dark, and a bright moon on the horizon quietly hid behind the clouds. Under the darkness of the night, the city of Shenyang fell into silence. The whole battlefield was quiet and terrible.

Looking, Sonny wiped the blood from his face. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaning against a jumble of stones, his beloved saber resting on his lap.

At this time, the Manchu general was closing his eyes and recuperating, thinking about the battle during the day. Needless to say, just reminiscing at this moment makes Sony tremble! (To be continued.) )
