Emperor Chongzhen felt deceived by Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu took his money but only took out a little team to perfunctory there, and did not fight the Houjin people head-on, only wandered around the battlefield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What is even more anxious is Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City, and finally looked forward to the reinforcements, but the reinforcements were blocked by the Houjin people not far from Jinzhou, and then the whole army of the reinforcements was annihilated, Zu Dashou suddenly lost hope, and at this time, the Houjin people were not in a hurry to attack Jinzhou City, but besieged Jinzhou City. This made Zu Dashou feel even more frightened, the nightmare of being surrounded and eating people because of lack of food last time still haunted Zu Dashou's heart, is it possible to repeat the same mistake this time.

In order to promote Zu Dashou to surrender, Huang Taiji also wrote a special letter, saying that he did not care about Zu Dashou's surrender in Daling River last time, and if Zu Dashou was willing to surrender, Jin would also give him high-ranking officials. So much so that Zu Dashou was a little shaken, and he was considering whether to accept Huang Taiji's suggestion. For Zu Dashou, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies in his many years of battlefield career, but now he has lost confidence in Daming, and even if he dies in the current situation, it seems that he can't save Daming's peril. Later, Jin had the posture of entering and occupying the Beijing division to unify the Central Plains.

Just when Zu Dashou was half-hearted, the Houjin people suddenly stepped up their offensive against Jinzhou City, and ordered the soldiers to attack at any cost. This action of the Houjin people made Zu Dashou firm in his determination to defend the city.

Zu Dashou judged from the actions of the Houjin people that the Houjin people were actually threatened, so he would adopt this kind of loss-making style of play when the victory was in hand. Maybe this is just the last madness of the Houjin people.

Zu Dashou's guess was indeed correct, the Houjin people were indeed threatened, and Shenyang, the Houjin people's nest, was attacked.

Zhang Chu transferred all the main forces of the security army to the Dongjiang region at the same time as sending troops to Dalinghe City, and his goal was to capture Shenyang, the capital of Houjin.

Zhang Chu was a desperate gamble this time, mobilizing all the soldiers and horses of the security forces in Shandong, Lushun, and Dongjiang areas, and even the Koreans who had been trained by the security forces in Korea also joined in, and there were more than 50,000 troops and horses from all walks of life.

The army of the security army landed from the Dongjiang River and attacked all the way to Shenyang.

Before sending troops, Huang Taiji had already made a plan for the security army to attack his rear in the event that the security army sent troops, leaving more than 50,000 people in Shenyang and other places to defend. In the direction of facing the security forces, a number of checkpoints were set up to prevent a sudden attack by the security forces.

In the future, the ability of the Jin people to have 50,000 troops, not to mention just defending, is to fight head-on with the Ming army, and they can also defeat hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, so the Hou Jin people are not worried about something in their rear.

The sudden attack of the security army taught the Houjin people a good lesson, and made them understand what it means to be strong in the strong. The soldiers of the security army used a new type of flowering cannonballs, and through the coordination of skilled infantry artillery, they quickly seized the checkpoint set up by the Houjin people with a devastating momentum, and attacked the city of Shenyang in a few days.

Dolgon, who was in charge of staying behind in Shenyang, panicked, he knew the stakes of the security army, and it was not a good thing to let so many security soldiers come to the city at once. He immediately sent someone to report to Huang Taiji, asking Huang Taiji to return to the army for support.

Huang Taiji also felt the urgency of the situation when he received the report, he did not expect that the security army would be able to mobilize so many men and horses to attack Shenyang. According to the current situation, Shenyang is still in danger for a long time, but Huang Taiji doesn't want to be defeated like this, so he ordered the soldiers to step up the siege of the city and put pressure on Zu Dashou, maybe Zu Dashou surrendered at the last moment. The Houjin people in Shenyang have been building for more than ten years and have a perfect defense system, which is not so easy to break. In this era, siege times were often calculated in months, and sometimes even years.

Dolgon in Shenyang thought the same way, and he mobilized all the people in Shenyang to participate in the work of defending the city. The security army came from the south and did not divide the troops to surround it when they arrived outside the city of Shenyang, but concentrated all the men and horses outside the south gate of Shenyang. This gave Dolgon a clearer goal for defending the city, allowing him to send only a small number of troops to guard the other three gates to prevent enemy attacks, and to move most of his army to the walls of the south gate.

The security forces shouted outside the city, and Dolgon understood that these were all contrived, and that if they really wanted to take the city, they would have to fill it with human lives. The security forces moved back and forth under the city, making the Houjin soldiers in the city extremely nervous.

"Don't be nervous, this Ming army is just bluffing, they just arrived, they haven't even built siege equipment, and they won't really attack the city with all their might." Dolgon hastened to reassure the army. Houjin's soldiers listened to Dolgon's words, and then they were much more relieved.

"Do you want to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Ming army and send people to take him by surprise?" The Houjin general suggested to Dolgon.

"When His Majesty left, he instructed us to stick to it, as long as we hold Shenyang without losing it, it will be a great achievement, and we don't have to take the risk of attacking." There is another layer of meaning that Dolgon did not say, and now Houjin may not be able to defeat this Ming army called the security army in the field. In the battle to attack Shenyang, Dolgon saw the power of the security army's muskets and artillery.

"Look at the artillery of the Ming army!" There was a commotion among the Houjin soldiers, and someone shouted in surprise.

"Don't mess around, there's nothing to be afraid of artillery." Dorgon shouted at the screaming soldiers as he followed everyone's gaze out of the city.

Dolgon was also a little surprised when he saw it, the artillery was not new to Houjin, they could cast it themselves, and there were several red-coated cannons installed at the head of Shenyang. But this is the first time that hundreds of cannons have been put out at once. It turned out that when the security army was moving back and forth just now, an artillery position was set up at the rear of the team, and as soon as the team in front withdrew, the artillery position was revealed.

"Huh! This group of timid Ming troops, the artillery position was still outside the range of the red-coated cannons on the city, and their small artillery could not hit the city at all. Dolgon saw the flaw and shouted to comfort the Houjin soldiers, who were frightened by the artillery.

As if in response to Dolgon's claims, there were several loud noises from the artillery positions of the security forces, and it turned out that they had opened fire.

The people above the city looked up and saw a few black cannonballs flying towards the city. The people with organic spirits hurried to find a place to hide.

"Boom! Rumble! "The cannonballs fell on the city wall of Shenyang, which made Dolgon's statement that the range of the cannonballs was not far enough, and what was even more terrifying was that these cannonballs not only hit far, but also landed and exploded, and several Houjin soldiers were killed near the point of impact, and the Houjin soldiers were horrified, and immediately lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

Dolgon was also dragged down the city by his own soldiers.

And all this is just a test firing of the security artillery, followed by a louder sound, the number of sounds is already uncountable, all the artillery on the security army artillery position fired, hundreds of shells flew towards Shenyang City together. (To be continued.) )
