"If you know today, why bother in the first place. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "After getting the news of Dolgon's death, Huang Taiji was stunned for a long time before shaking his head and said, he didn't have much regret for Dolgon's death, he regretted that there were tens of thousands of elites of the Eight Banners, and the time delayed by Dolgon, after the first two fiascos, now there are not many soldiers and horses left in the Eight Banners, and more than 10,000 people were buried meaninglessly by Dolgon, Huang Taiji felt extremely heartache.

In addition, if it wasn't for Dolgon and the others who insisted on going their own way, he would have fled north with his men and horses a long time ago, so why would he have to stay in Shengjing City and wait for death? And now it's too late to escape, the army led by Lu Xiangsheng and Yu Zhigao is already close to Shengjing, I'm afraid they won't wait for how far they escape, they will be caught up, rather than being defeated by them in the field battle, it is better to stay in Shengjing City and garrison, maybe buy a little more time for Yue Tuo.

"Pass the order, all the horses will be released, and the latest movements of the Ming army will be reported at any time, and all the banners and horses will be stationed in the city, and the siege of the Ming army will probably be a matter of the past two days." Huang Taiji felt in a trance for a while, in the past, they besieged the city, and the Ming army refused to defend the city, but now it is upside down, can the Eight Banners, who have always been good at field warfare, really be able to hold Shengjing?

"General Yu has worked hard all the way." At this time, the soldiers and horses led by Lu Xiangsheng and Yu Zhigao had gathered together, looking at the soldiers under Yu Xianggao, Lu Xiangsheng was a little entangled in his heart, he didn't want the credit he was about to get to be divided by others.

"General Lu fought all the way, but the last general didn't encounter many Jiannu, and General Lu worked hard." Yu Zhigao replied politely, they all knew that His Majesty was in favor of the competition between the armies, but hated that they delayed the war because of their own selfishness, so they didn't dare to be too entangled, and quickly discussed their respective tasks, Lu Xiangsheng led the army to occupy the west gate and the south gate, and Yu Zhigao's army was stationed at the east gate, which was still an old method of encircling three and missing one, and left the east gate to Jiannu so that they could escape from here without resisting desperately.

Of course, even if these people were able to escape, they would only survive for a day or two more, and Lu Xiangsheng's elite cavalry would quickly catch up with them and kill them along the way, which would be easier than destroying them in Shengjing City.

"The Ming army actually has so many cannons?" After observing the layout of the Ming army's military camp at the head of the city, the expression on Huang Taiji's face became a little more solemn, it seems that compared with the last battle of Liaodong, the number of artillery of the Ming army has increased, and the number of cannons taken from the Ming army at the head of Shengjing City is probably less than one-tenth of the opponent's.

"Great Khan, why don't you take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Ming army and send people out to kill for a while?" Dai Shan swallowed his spit and suggested, he was also frightened by the appearance of the Ming army, and seemed to remember the scene when he was defeated by the Ming army in Zunhua and north of Ningyuan.

"No, then Lu Xiangsheng has already taken precautions, I'm afraid he has been waiting for us to go out for a long time, and he must not let him get his wish." Huang Taiji rejected this proposal without hesitation, Lu Xiangsheng and Yu Zhigao had already taken precautions on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also because the elites of the Eight Banners who were good at field battles suffered heavy losses in the first two battles, and now the soldiers who are incorporated into the army are old and small, and their combat effectiveness has plummeted, even if they are sent out, they may not be able to get any advantage.

On the first day, the Ming army did not attack directly, but set up camp outside Shengjing City, observing the position, and by the second day, everything was ready, countless cannons were pushed to the front, Gonzalez-Teixeira and many gunners trained by the Ming Dynasty used various instruments to quickly measure the various data required for shelling, and according to these quickly adjusted the cannon position, muzzle angle and charge, ready to start the attack.

"Pass the order, and start the siege immediately!" Lu Xiangsheng stood on a high watchtower and issued an order, and then a rocket rose from the Chinese army, burst into brilliant fireworks in the sky, and reached the eyes of all the Ming troops outside the three city gates in the east, west and south, and Yu Zhigao and Cao Wenzhao, who presided over the attack on the other two city gates, also issued the same order.

"Boom!" For a while, countless cannons rang out from outside the three city gates, and countless projectiles screeched towards the head of Shengjing City, and those old cannons were the focus of their first wave of attacks.

"The muzzle of the gun is raised by three points, and the charge is increased by half by half!" Gonzalez-Teixeira and the other gunners quickly adjusted to the location of the first attack, and it is worth noting that Teixeira's orders were in standard Beijing dialect, and he had learned the language of the Ming during his time in the army.

"Great Khan, let's go down to the city and take shelter for a while!" The fierce artillery fire that had never been seen before shocked the nobles of the Eight Banners at the head of the city, and they could not help but feel a little frightened for a while when they could imagine that the war had become like this.

"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere!" Huang Taiji endured the horror and said loudly, he knew that the soldiers of the Eight Banners still had a trace of fighting spirit because he saw that he was still in the city, if he withdrew, these soldiers would definitely disperse in a hurry, and at that time, Shengjing City would easily fall into the hands of the Ming army.

Lu Xiangsheng, Man Gui, Yu Zhigao and Cao Wenzhao also had a lot of emotion when they saw this scene, if they wanted to capture such a city in the past, either they would be attached to the city and attack the city, or dig tunnels, or collude with internal responses, which would consume a large number of soldiers, and now these cannons alone seem to be able to destroy the defense of the city.

Of course, with the power of these cannons now, it seems unrealistic to try to break the city wall, but this is enough to make the defenders at the head of the city breathless, and the defenders of the Eight Banners continue to suffer casualties, and they are helpless against the Ming army; In just such a short time, nearly half of the cannons at the head of the city have been lost, and the remaining projectiles fired don't know where to fly at all, Jiannu is not only 108,000 miles behind the Ming army in terms of the quality of the cannons, but even the quality of the gunners is far from being reached.

The fall of Shengjing seemed to be only a matter of time, Lu Xiangsheng and Man Gui exchanged glances, each other had already understood each other's opinions, this time the slave chief Hongtai must not be allowed to escape like this, he must be left in Shengjing City; After the city is broken, he will pursue all the way, and he will not give up if he does not uproot Jiannu.

Sheng Jing didn't seem to be able to hold it, and the emperor Taiji at the head of the city also let out the same emotion, he couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the north, I don't know where Yue Tuo and Bumu Butai are now? But you have to run faster, don't be caught up by Lu Xiangsheng and them.
