In the blink of an eye, hundreds of lives were harvested by hundreds of grenades that fell from the sky.

In the face of the sudden dense explosion at the foot of the city wall, not only the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Khan who rushed to the foot of the city wall were stunned, standing in the rear to watch the battle, and Huang Taiji, who was also full of expectations for this attack, was also stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

When he woke up from the shock, he subconsciously raised his monoculars to see the incident more clearly. The hundreds of bombardiers who had just hidden in the cave had already thrown a third grenade outside the city.

Three-wheeled grenades, that is, more than a thousand grenades. At the same time, an explosion occurred on the front line of the city wall, and its power was absolutely beyond everyone's imagination.

Therefore, when Huang Taiji raised the telescope and looked at the foot of the city wall, he was greeted with an unprecedented tragic picture.

Amid the explosion of more than a thousand grenades, more than a thousand soldiers gathered at the foot of the city walls. Almost no one escaped the net, and all of them were blown to the ground. Either turned into corpses, or blown to pieces by flowering bombs, layered on top of each other, covering the ground at the foot of the entire city wall.

In Huang Taiji's heart, the Eight Banners of Khan, who were attacking, were the cannon fodder of the Houjin Iron Cavalry. But, no matter what, he was single-handedly commanded and trained by himself.

In such a short period of time, more than 1,000 soldiers have been lost, and it is impossible to say that it is not heartbroken.

However, as the Great Khan of the Later Jin Kingdom, Huang Taiji did not give this heartache to the table. Continue to hold the monocular and observe the situation on the battlefield.

Soon, hundreds of black holes lined up on the city wall came into the vision of Huang Taiji.

Of course. A touch of solemnity that has never been seen before. also appeared on Huang Taiji's face.

Because. At this moment, Huang Taiji has already understood the specific solution for the Haw Par Army to evade its own artillery coverage. More importantly, in the face of this response of the Haw Par Army, they did not have a specific solution strategy.

Take a deep breath and try not to be shocked after the table comes out. Huang Taiji, who had a solemn face, decisively opened his mouth and ordered: Order, heavy artillery team, stop the shelling immediately...... Offensive troops. Retreat immediately...... Our enemy, the Tiger and Leopard Army, was all hidden in the cave inside the city wall, and our artillery bombardment and attack could not help them at all. “

The mighty Houjin army offensive troops came with confidence and expectations. As soon as he touched the city wall, with a face full of shock and helplessness, he threw one or two thousand corpses and withdrew from the battlefield.

The battlefield of Liaoyang, which has been completely filled with leisure, is once again calm.

The battle in the important town of Xuanfu has also entered an unprecedented tragic stage.

Although the defenders of Xuanfu have a hand grenade as a defensive weapon. However, the number of grenades is limited after all.

More importantly. The attack range of the grenade is very short. Even if the officers and soldiers are condescending, throwing bombs from the city walls, and being able to throw a grenade thirty paces outside the city, is already the limit of the limit.

On the other hand, the Houjin army outside the city, although it was not equipped with a sharp weapon like a grenade. However, the other weapons they were equipped with were also on the battlefield, causing fatal damage to the defenders of Xuanfu.

Fifty cannons in red coats, although the hit rate is very low. However, the results of not hitting the city wall with more than a dozen flowering bullets are still very huge. In addition to taking the lives of dozens or hundreds of defenders, the biggest result of the battle was that the defenders were in chaos, unable to effectively use the muskets in their hands to kill and injure the enemies outside the city who were getting closer and closer to them.

And this, in a certain way, plays another role.

The defenders' musketeers were unable to counterattack, and the Houjin attacking troops could easily advance the line to a position forty paces from the city wall under the cover of heavy artillery.

Here, the attacking troops of the Houjin army could not only avoid the attacks of the grenades of the official army, but also use their own long-range weapons such as muskets and bows and arrows to shoot the defenders on the city walls, further weakening their forces.

As a result, the attack from the Houjin army lasted less than an hour, and the defenders of the important town of Xuanfu, which only had 5,000 men, were sharply reduced to less than 3,000 in a very short time.

An hour ago, the city wall defense line, which still did not have the slightest hole, has become full of gaps with the shortage of troops......

Such a good opportunity to attack is in front of the Houjin Army, and the commander of the Houjin Army will certainly not let it go.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Khan, who had been stopped forty paces outside the city, and only kept sending small attacking troops to consume the grenades of the defenders, directly abandoned the bows and arrows and muskets that were not suitable for melee combat, as if they had been suddenly beaten with chicken blood.

Holding a broadsword and other cold weapons in one hand, and carrying a siege ladder in the other, they rushed towards the city wall with a roar of their respective generals.

Facing the overwhelming Houjin army outside the city, the solemnity on the face of the chief soldier Huang Guodong was directly covered by despair. Because he knew that the critical moment of life and death in the important town of Xuanfu under his feet had come.

At this moment, Huang Guodong, facing the city wall with defensive gaps everywhere, directly forgot his identity, held a ghost-headed broadsword, and rushed directly to the city wall with less than 100 personal guards.

However, he was disappointed. Although the more than 100 people he led can be called a veteran of one to ten. Huang Guodong led them to the left and left on the city wall, and successively eliminated several groups of Khan Eight Banner soldiers who rushed to the city.

However, there is a saying that is well said, and that is that two fists are hard to beat four hands.

In the face of the continuous attacks of the Khan Eight Banners, facing the dense arrows in the air like rain, more than 100 people, who only lasted less than half an hour, were beaten to less than 30 people.

What's more, because of the continuous fighting, the remaining dozens of people are also full of wounds and are very tired.

As for the rest of the defenders on the walls, the total strength was further weakened, and it became the present fifteen hundred men.

Such a favorable opportunity, of course, the Houjin Army will not let it go.

As a result, the dense soldiers of the Eight Banners of Khan, like ants, climbed along the siege ladder to the head of the city. Under such circumstances, the Khan Eight Banners who poured into the city and fought with the defenders at close range became more and more numerous.

Outside the city, the main position of the Houjin Army, facing the battlefield in front of him that had already controlled the situation by himself, the commander of the Houjin Army directly ordered with a victorious smile.

"Heavy artillery, stop shelling immediately...... Draw 3,000 warriors from the white flag, join the battlefield, quickly solve the remnants of the battlefield, occupy the Xuanfu, and open our passage to the customs. ”

Three thousand very brave Houjin Tartars can definitely be called a fatal blow for a defender with less than 1,000 troops.

Therefore, as soon as the three thousand Tartars rushed to the battlefield for half an hour, the sound of the fierce fighting on the city wall began to dissipate.

When the commander of the Jin army entered the Xuanfu and climbed the city wall, what caught his vision was not only the corpse, but also the corpse.

Just when the Houjin army entered the Xuanfu in turn along the city gate that had been stained red with blood. A defender, still wounded, rode a fast horse and rushed to the capital without anyone noticing.

At the same time, Huang Guodong's 800-mile rush to the capital was also sent to Emperor Chongzhen, who was reviewing the folds.

When he first heard the words "Eight Hundred Miles Urgent", Emperor Chongzhen was fiercely happy. Because, Emperor Chongzhen, who was full of confidence in the battlefield of Liaodong, thought that he was a good news sent to him by the Liaodong front.

However, when he heard that the eight-hundred-mile expedited in front of him was not from Liaodong, but from Xuanfu, the smile on his face was directly replaced by solemnity, and at the same time, a trace of bad premonition quickly came to his mind.

Sure enough, when he opened the emergency report, after reading the contents. The whole person was as if he had been electrocuted, and he was stunned on the spot.

When Emperor Chongzhen spent half a day reacting from the shock brought to him by this news. The whole person seemed to be several years old in an instant, and his mouth kept repeating a sentence.

"How can this be, how can they break their promise and attack my Daming without authorization......"

"How so...... How can this be......"

Wang Chengen, who was standing beside him, was directly taken aback by the changes in Emperor Chongzhen. Hurriedly walked to Emperor Chongzhen's side and comforted.

"Your Majesty, what's going on......"

"Houjin, our entire court, including me, has been tricked by Emperor Taiji of Houjin......" Under Wang Chengen's gaze, Emperor Chongzhen, who was shocked and angry, opened his mouth and scolded without thinking about it.

At this time, if he couldn't find someone to come over to share his worries with Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen could be sure that Emperor Chongzhen beside him would definitely burn all the anger in his heart on himself.

Therefore, Wang Chengen hurriedly answered.

"No, Your Majesty, it's not your fault...... The entire plan was formulated and implemented by the Cabinet. Even if something goes wrong, it's a matter for the Cabinet. Now that there is such a big problem at the border gate, the slave thinks that His Majesty should immediately convene the ministers of the cabinet and ask them to help His Majesty and come up with a solution? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly made an order.

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, immediately send an order, let these ministers come to see me quickly, you must be fast. Otherwise, the important town of Xuanfu will be captured by the Houjin Tartars. I don't want to see the Tartar cavalry appear outside the capital again, and Beizhili is once again sacked by the Houjin army......"

After Wang Chengen's face quickly flashed with an imperceptible smile, he quickly replied, "The slave will summon all the adults immediately......

Soon, several cabinet ministers of the Ming court stood in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Facing the confused expressions on everyone's faces, Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate to vent the anger in his heart on these people.

After smashing the emergency report in his hand in front of these people, Emperor Chongzhen scolded loudly: "Look at it, this is the Houjin in your eyes, and the Huang Taiji in your eyes." Only now do I know that we have all been played by Huang Taiji, and we have played it all over the place" (to be continued............
