Chapter 92: Capturing Dolgon Alive (Fourth Watch: A Drunken Sanctification)

Shengjing since the Manchu Qing Dynasty set the capital, it can be said that no effort has been spared in the construction, the whole city is extremely prosperous, until the puppet Manchu Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years in later generations, it is the capital, it can be said that it has been prosperous for hundreds of years.

Today, however, the flower was caught in a raging storm before it even bloomed.

The walls are 20 meters high and more than a zhang thick, which can be described as impregnable in this era.

However, now, under the fire of the artillery, he kept trembling, as if he would collapse at any time.

Bang!

A cannonball dragged a long tail line in the sky, roaring down like a meteorite, and crashing down on the tower.

The huge wave of air tore dozens of Qing soldiers to pieces, and countless debris flew in the air, and a Qing soldier who was hiding in the distance ran into the distance in horror when he saw this scene, but was crushed by a gravel flying behind him.

Countless Qing soldiers hid under the battlements and shivered.

They had never seen such a horrible cannon. Originally, they thought that their red-clothed cannons were invincible, but in front of the Ming army's cannons, they were like burning sticks, useless.

After a round of shells, a section of the city wall more than ten zhang long completely collapsed, and countless severed limbs and corpses were scattered among the ruins of the city wall. More shells flew into the city, and I don't know how many houses were destroyed, only to see the city filled with smoke and fire, and countless screams and weepings of terror were heard.

Only then did the artillery fire stop.

Oh my God, it's finally stopped!

Many Qing soldiers wept bitterly, knelt down to thank God, and were glad that they did not die.

"The Lord Regent has arrived!"

A shout of the herald.

If it was in the past, these Qing soldiers would have been dressed solemnly and welcomed in the middle of the road.

But now, no one thought about it so much, and these soldiers were all squatting on the ground, or lying under the battlements, shrunken and trembling. They did not dare to raise their heads at all, for fear that the next moment, the terrifying artillery fire would come again.

Dolgon, Aobai, Fan Wencheng and others came over, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp.

There were broken corpses everywhere, broken walls, burning houses, and the tall walls were already in tatters. In this short moment, a hole more than ten meters long was blasted out.

What kind of cannon is it that is so terrifying?

Dolgon's indifferent expression, which had always been in the midst of a strategic plan and a victory thousands of miles away, also flashed a trace of deep horror at this time.

And the other Manchu generals were even more silent, and even Aobai's face was full of fear.

These Manchu generals grew up on horseback since they were children, and they were unparalleled in riding and shooting, and they were not afraid of fighting at all. In their eyes, the soldiers of the Ming people were as weak as sheep, but what they feared most was cannons. Because, in the face of artillery, no matter how strong they are, no matter how good their riding skills are, they are powerless, and they can't resist at all when they are bombarded.

In the past, the artillery of the Ming army was powerful enough, but now it has become more than ten times more powerful.

How can this battle be fought?

At this time, no one was clamoring to go out of the city to fight to the death, and they were all thinking about how to defend the city. Some people have even begun to secretly look for a way out.

"Go to the walls!"

Dorgon took a deep breath and climbed the walls first.

A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the others, and only then did they slowly and reluctantly follow. At this time, the city walls can be at their most dangerous.

Outside the city, there was a flat river, and there was no human figure in sight, and after receiving the clairvoyant mirror from his subordinates, Dolgon saw clearly that seven or eight miles away, tens of thousands of troops, like a black and oppressive dark cloud, were approaching this side.

Seeing that the other party soon came to a distance of five miles and walked into the range of the red-coated cannon, Dolgon waved his hand and said, "Open the cannon!"

However, there was silence next to it.

"Fire, why don't you fire?" roared Dolgon.

"Lord Regent, our cannons were all blown up just now!" the artilleryman next to him wanted to cry without tears.

Just now, a round of artillery bombardment was mainly aimed at the red-coated cannons on the city wall.

For Chongzhen, now, the only thing that can threaten the Ming army is the opponent's artillery, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, first give you a wild bombardment to destroy it.

Otherwise, if you want to attack the city, do you need to fire artillery from such a distance?

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish!" Dolgon smashed the clairvoyant mirror to pieces, not knowing who he was scolding. The people next to him were submissive, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to answer.

In a few moments, the army outside the city had already come closer. At the forefront, a tall steel monster rumbled.

The Manchu generals saw clearly at this time that in front of the Ming army, a small cannon with a black hole was erected.

"Could it be that these big cannons have blown up our city walls?" Ao Bai couldn't believe it, and the others couldn't believe it. These small cannons, which are not as big as one-tenth of the red-coated cannons, how can they be so powerful?

However, they soon got to see it.

I saw dozens of white lines in the sky generated by the sonic boom dragging their long tail of air waves towards this side, and in the blink of an eye, they were close to the sky above the city tower.

"Get down!"

"Hide the Regent!"

The pro-soldiers next to him shouted one after another.

Those Han ministers had already hid faster than rabbits, and they all hid under the battlements. Most of them had been Han Chinese officers and knew exactly how to deal with artillery fire.

A Baylor stood stupidly in place, his face full of disbelief, and muttered: "This is impossible, how can these big cannons be so powerful?"

Rumble!

A cannonball happened to land beside him, and the powerful explosion set off a huge wave of air that tore him to pieces in an instant.

This Baylor is also a man who can fight well, and he is extraordinary in riding and shooting, but in front of the cannon, the bravery of his body does not play any role at all.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Shells struck like a storm, and the rate of fire of artillery from hundreds of years later was terrifyingly fast, far from being comparable to that of this era.

Dolgon and the others did not dare to raise their heads at all, and the artillery fire poured down like rain, at this time, there was nothing to do, but to pray to the heavens that no shells would fall on their heads.

The artillery fire lasted a full ten minutes before it stopped.

The city wall collapsed like a domino, and the original opening of about ten meters has expanded to more than 20 zhang.

From the outside of the city, you can clearly see the layout and structure of the city.

At this time, Sheng Jing was like a girl with open thighs, waiting for the people outside to drive straight in.

Chongzhen looked at the results in front of him, laughed, and stopped the artillery fire.

The city wall is destroyed, so there is no need to waste shells, although the bombardment is very cool, but the shells are also expensive.

"Soldiers, I heard that Huang Taiji's wife is a great beauty, don't kill them, whoever captures Dolgon and them alive, I will reward Huang Taiji's woman to you!"

Chongzhen waved his hand and said loudly: "Pass my order, the whole army will attack and capture Dolgon alive!"

All the soldiers were excited, that was Huang Taiji's wife, and she was also the queen of a country! If she could press her crotch, it would definitely be enough to blow for a lifetime.

"Your Majesty has an order, capture Dolgon alive!"

"Capture Dorgon alive, rush!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers, like hungry wolves, rushed forward with a howl.
