Chapter 805: The Last Flame (Part II)

At the same time, the main hall of the Shenyang Imperial Palace.

Sukh Saha, with a tired face, was dressed in a white armor stained with red blood, and his face was blackened by the smoke and fire. Yuan came to Dolgon, who was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, with a pair of bronze bell-like eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Lord, the Ming army has set up cannons on the city wall. What should we do? ”

Dolgon's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, and there was no expression on his sallow face, and he closed his eyes and whispered, "Then what do you say to do?" ”

"......" Sukh Saha's strong body, who was a little excited, paused slightly, clenched his hands into fists, and opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He didn't know what to do either!

The bloody battle of last night completely shattered the remaining fighting spirit and morale of the Manchu soldiers. Except for the Ming army, which had slaughtered hundreds of lone soldiers in the city in the early stage, the rest of the time was a completely one-sided massacre. This scene is very similar to the battle of Ningyuan years ago.

No matter how brave and fearless the Manchu soldiers were, they could not rely on their own flesh and blood to resist the rain of bullets pouring on the Ming army. Holding a heavy shield and wearing thick armor didn't do anything. On the contrary, they die faster. The battle has reached this point, and anyone with a little vision knows that this can no longer be fought. This is no longer a war, this is completely sending people to death.

Sukh Saha, with his athletic skills and a little luck, was lucky enough to come back from the battlefield alive last night. But the bloody scene and desperate charge made him completely lose his faith in victory.

When he learned that the Ming army had begun to send artillery to the city walls, he immediately hurried to Dolgon for advice.

"Not really...... Why don't we go down? Sukh Saha's expression was complicated, and his lips trembled and he said these words, which he had never thought about before yesterday!

Dolgon opened his eyelids and looked coldly at Sukh Saha, whose face was full of pain.

Snorted coldly, "Confused!" He immediately stood up from his chair. With his hands behind his back, a chill flashed in his eyes, "When we gained power a few years ago, how many Han people did we kill?" Will those Ming troops agree to our surrender? As an envoy, the Great Baylor went to Beijing to discuss the matter of submission, and was arrested and beheaded. What do they say? They say we're rebellious! Why are you still thinking about such stupid things?! ”

"Lord Wang!" Sukh Saha fell to his knees with a 'poof'. Redness of the eye sockets. His voice choked and shouted, "We can't fight anymore!" If it is a face-to-face fight with real swords and guns, none of us will be a bad seed, but the firearms of those Ming troops are too strong! Whether you are holding a shield or wearing several layers of armor, you can't resist those little leads! Decades of martial arts and body. In the end, it is not as good as a small piece of lead! We really can't fight anymore! ”

Sukh Saha's crying voice shook Dorgon's heart. Last night, in a great battle that used the last blood of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nearly 20,000 people were lost! Dorgon saw with his own eyes that the horrific corpses were almost covered with the ground! These are all young and strong people that the Manchu clan is extremely lacking at this time!

It's just that if it can be lowered. Do you have to wait until now to be beaten to your home? He Dolgon can't help it!

"Whew~~~" Dorgon breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at the rough Suke Saha with complicated eyes, kneeling on the ground like a child and crying bitterly. Shaking his head imperceptibly, "Get up, what do you look like." We're just going to have to drag it out now. ”

"Drag it down?" Sukh Saha looked up and looked at Dorgon suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

Dolgon nodded, a grim look flashed in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "It's getting hot now. So many people died in the city last night. It won't be long before a plague happens. At that time, the Ming army couldn't leave if he wanted to. ”

"Lord Wang!!" Sukh Saha jumped up suddenly, looked at Dolgon in disbelief, his eyes were terrified, and his lips trembled, and said, "If we really have a corpse plague, we will also die!" ”

Dolgon frowned, and said coldly, "At this time, what else can I do without this method!" You tell me that as soon as you can say it, I'll order it to do! ”

Sukh Saha lowered his head in a dejected manner, his body trembling constantly. He really didn't think that they would be reduced to the current level.

Dorgon sighed, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Go back and rest." Everything we can do has already been done. Now it's up to God. If the Ming army had withdrawn for fear of the plague, everything would have been fine. If they refuse to let us go, then we will take them to the funeral together! ”

Dorgon wouldn't have known at this time that his crazy idea would give the city. What a terrible end for everyone in this city!

......

In this era, quacks in the Western world still use bloodletting to treat people. For those Western-style doctors who are even more terrifying than Mongolian doctors, no matter what the disease is, they are directly bloodletting, and many doctors are originally professional shavers. The medical skills of this era are completely incompatible with the advanced Western medicine of a few hundred years later.

In the East, the situation is much better. It has traditional Chinese medicine techniques that have been passed down for thousands of years. For most diseases, even if they cannot be completely cured, at least there are ways to deal with them.

However, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine. In this era, the plague is also discolored, and there is nothing to be done. Because there is no microbial technology and antibiotics in this era.

Animal carcasses can bring plague if left untreated. This is common knowledge that ancient people knew thousands of years ago. Because animals are broken down by bacteria after they die, some of these bacteria are harmless to humans. But some of them are deadly to humanity. For example, bacteria such as Vibrio cholerae can cause virulent infectious diseases in humans.

At the same time, those animals that are extremely transmissible. For example, rats, fleas, etc., will carry these dangerous bacteria around their bodies after foraging for food on the carcasses. It poses a great threat to humanity. This is how the terrible infectious diseases in history came about.

As a result, the timely and proper disposal of corpses during large-scale wars has become an unwritten rule. Because germs don't distinguish between who and whom, as long as they come into contact with it, they will be infected. The first thing to do in cleaning up the battlefield after the war was to dispose of the corpses. They are usually buried on the spot or burned by fire.

If the battle is fierce and unresolved for a long time. Under normal circumstances, both sides will agree on a truce and send people to clean up the corpses on the battlefield. After all, everyone doesn't come to war to die together.

And like Dorgon, he actually wanted to use this way to force the Ming army back, or simply end it up together. Almost no one has used it before. Similarly, this thought also made Gao Yang extremely angry. These guys in the city have lost any of their character. I actually wanted to drag hundreds of thousands of people to the funeral!

Not to mention that the Ming army, which has perfect logistics support, is not worried about the emergence of any plague at all. It is only said that Dorgon's actions can not only anger Gao Yang, making Gao Yang think that these Manchu magnates are hopeless and completely lose their minds. It can only hasten its own demise.

After dinner, when the Ming army sent out to collect the corpses, the people were attacked by cold guns and arrows fired from time to time. Gao Yang was really angry. He felt that all the Manchu magnates in the city had gone crazy. It's not a war anymore, it's the rhythm of wanting everyone to die together.

Furious, Gao Yang let go of the worries in his heart. Anyway, there are almost no civilians in Shenyang now, and all those who can stay in the city at this time are the most tenacious armed men. Gao Yang made up his mind for the last time, and quickly took out the big killing weapon.

Gao Yang withdrew all the Ming troops to the city wall, and cleared an open area at least two hundred meters wide in front of the city wall, and laid out a firewall. Directly took out the napalm.

Most of the buildings in Shenyang at this time were made of wood. Napalm is a cheerful thing that burns on its own without combustibles, and it is detonated in a place where there are many wooden buildings. It was very similar to the Allied burning of Tokyo during World War II. Moreover, there was a strong wind blowing in Shenyang tonight!

Incendiary bombs, which became seeds.

Huge flames swept through everything they touched, billowing in smoke. It doesn't matter if it's an animal or a plant, whether it's wood or brick. If you get it, you will die!

Similarly, the corpses and bacteria left behind after the battle were reduced to ashes by the raging flames. Plague or something, never again. This also achieved Gaoyang's expected goal. It's just that what happened next obviously exceeded Gao Yang's expectations, even to the point that he couldn't cope with it for the time being!

Buildings made of wood, eternal fires that can't be extinguished no matter what, and violent night winds that sweep across the sky! Together, these things produced an extremely terrifying chemical reaction, which drove the entire city into despair.

Under the dark and dim night, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet towels, and looked at the flaming hell in front of them with frightened eyes.

There is no need for flares at this time. Looking from the city wall, it seems as if the entire city of Shenyang has been set on fire. Bright flames were clearly visible from dozens of miles away. Billowing flames and endless ashes rose to the sky, completely obscuring the bright moonlit night.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the scene was extremely shocking.

The fire reflected the panicked faces and trembling bodies of the Ming soldiers. They are just ordinary human beings, and they are also extremely afraid of this tragic scene like hell karma in front of them! It's an animal instinct.

Under the scorching heat, almost all the Ming soldiers had stripped off their military uniforms and were sweating profusely and sticking to their positions. Listen to the roar of flames and the sound of heat waves. And the mournful howls that came from time to time from the smoke almost broke the spirits of these sergeants. (To be continued)
