Chapter 19: The Bloody Battle of Shanhaiguan

With the fall of the treasury in various parts of the Jingshi, a large number of supplies quickly replenished the army of dependents who lacked weapons and ammunition. The direct embodiment is that the army besieging the Forbidden City has quickly transformed from a shabby appearance that most people can hold wooden sticks and firewood knives to an army with spears, waist knives and a large number of musketeers in more than half a day.

Although most of the whiteworm-brainwashed civilians did not use muskets, the captured Ming soldiers did.

Armed with the shotguns, three-eyed guns, and other weapons that had been sealed in the treasury, the soldiers were quickly able to organize a formation and attack the palace.

Under the siege of an absolute number of muskets, bows, and even dozens of cannons, Chongzhen and his Forbidden City did not survive this day in the end.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, it was broken and fell.

Standing in front of the main hall, looking at the rebels who lit the torches getting closer and closer, Chongzhen closed his eyes in despair, he picked up his sword and walked back to the harem quickly.

His queen, princess, and two daughters were lying here in terror and helplessness.

……

More than a month later, the news of the fall of Jingshi had spread throughout the country.

The preparatory government of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing had been activated, but because Chongzhen's attempt to commit suicide after destroying himself failed and was captured alive by the rebels, the ministers of Nanjing were reluctant to propose a vassal king to succeed him.

Houjin, who had countless spies in the Ming Dynasty, naturally got the news as soon as possible.

However, because of the colder weather, as long as Huang Taiji did not want to risk starting a war in winter, he had to hold back his ambitions and could not enter the south for the time being.

Most of the more than 700,000 residents in Beijing have been parasitized.

The whiteworms in the fifty jars brought from Shanxi are no longer the main parasitism force today, but fortunately, the reproduction of whiteworms only requires meat and water, and they can soon be re-cultivated in considerable numbers.

Reports of the war kept coming back from everywhere.

That is, after Shanxi, Shaanxi's political envoys and Hamiwei have also completely fallen, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Henan, and Huguang have also been seriously infiltrated, and the completely occupied cities and cities under the control of the Ming army are intertwined, and it is only a matter of time before the whole completely falls.

Over time.

Spring is coming.

When the iron hooves of the Manchu Qing began to gather south, the existence of the 'white worm' was finally exposed due to large-scale implantation in various places.

The news made everyone feel the fear.

After all, even the ancients could never accept that after being drilled into their brains by insects, they would wake up and become other people's slaves......

For a time, a wave of fierce resistance was set off in various places.

The army of the state capital, the civil volunteers, and the villagers organized by the gentry and landlords in various places...... There was fierce resistance everywhere, and even the Manchu attack on Shanhaiguan became less important.

In the Forbidden City.

The original Chongzhen stood aside with his hands tied.

At this time, he was just an ordinary official in the new empire.

Luo Shen sat cross-legged on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty but did not have much pleasure of "being an emperor".

As an evil god.

Although there is already more of a human way of thinking and memory than those who have grown up naturally, evil gods are evil gods after all, power, desire, and human nature...... These things can no longer influence any of Roshen's decisions.

Whether it is a Jurchen or a Ming person, even Shen Lian, who he admired when watching movies as a human before, is only a "thing" that looks like a long thing in his eyes.

Listening to the news reported by the officials below that more than 100,000 Jurchen iron horsemen were confronting the Ming army at Shanhaiguan...... Luo Shen pouted: "Send 400,000 people over, Chen An, you bring half of the generals, can you solve it?" ”

Chen An, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, bowed: "My lord, Chen An will definitely complete the task." ”

Suddenly.

Luo Shen remembered something, so he spoke again: "Pay attention to the defenders of Shanhaiguan, beware of that wild boar skin suddenly coming out from behind when your two armies are tired from fighting. ”

"Well, it's time to end this boring war."

Two days later.

An army of 400,000 marched out.

……

Liaodong.

The vast and desolate land was full of gunsmoke, and the artillery bombardment and gun platoon between the border army and the new imperial army, which had been "loyal" to the Ming court, had reached a white-hot stage.

The Wu family's Guan Ning Iron Cavalry fiercely interspersed on the battlefield, constantly cutting through the enemy's formation and tearing off a piece of flesh from the imperial army.

However.

In the face of a large army of clansmen armed with spears and muskets and never flinching, the advantage of cavalry still exists, but it does come at a great price.

Every time they charged, a large number of Guanning iron horses would be shot down from their horses by shotguns, tiger squatting and running, and three-eyed guns.

Every time you pass through the enemy line, you will lose the lives of a large number of knights under the enemy's dense spears and fierce resistance.

After another charge, Wu Sangui finally couldn't hold on.

He led his people to ride his horse and ran to the Jurchen army watching from afar, asking Huang Taiji to send troops as agreed.

However, at this time, Huang Taiji looked at this senior general of the Ming army, who might not have looked at him more than ten years ago, and showed a disdainful sneer: "Shave your head, become a slave, and I will save your Wu family." ”

A razor was thrown in front of Wu Sangui.

Horses' hooves gallop.

The scene of tens of thousands of war horses concentrating into a few arrows charging was magnificent and terrifying.

For a moment, it seemed that the earth was trembling.

Approaching the front of the battle.

The lightly armored vests stood on stirrups, their bodies dangling in the air, and their swift bows and arrows - buzz!

A black rain of arrows rushed into the scuffle with a terrifying sound.

This wave of arrows used heavy arrows that were particularly popular among the Jurchens.

The wide and heavy arrowhead of this arrow, combined with the special bow shape of the Jurchen bow, can exert a strong armor-piercing ability.

Originally, this kind of arrowhead was used as a weapon against the wild boars in the northeast that were covered with pine resin and mud. In the years of war, the Jurchens had learned to use this arrow to break through the heavy armor that the Ming army, or the Korean army, often equipped.

A wave of thousands of arrows covered the vast area, which emptied most of the area.

Whether it is the Guanning army or the army of dependents, whether they wear armor or go into battle lightly...... They all died in such a black oppressive arrow.

The light cavalry soon made a large arc away from the area of engagement before making contact with the two armies.

Followed by.

As soon as the tails of the light cavalry disappeared from the eyes of the soldiers of the two armies, another group of thousands of heavy cavalry rushed in front of them, and without hesitation, they rode into the battlefield!

These horses are all high-headed horses in Liaodong.

As the treasures of the rise of the Later Jin, the physique and diet of these war horses have been taken care of, and even the horses are covered with heavy vests as sharp weapons for defense and collision.

The knights in the front row were all first-class brave men among the Jurchens.

At this time, the Jurchens were not the elite class who were powerful and blessed after entering the customs in later generations, eating hardcore crops and stepping on the heads of other nations.

As a man who grew up in the cold, pristine mountains.

These Jurchen warriors have been struggling to survive in constant elimination since they were born......

If the physique cannot resist the cold, he will die.

If you can't hunt in the mountains, you will die.

Survive tribal conflicts, hunting encounters, battles against the Ming army, Mongols, and Korean armies......

All this has forged the beast-like strong bodies and indomitable tenacious will of these Jurchen men.

Knives and guns are like a forest.

War horses collided with knives and spears, blood gushed out, human limbs and internal organs splashed extravagantly......
