Chapter 461: Enter the City
Bags of explosives flew all over the sky.
In fact, this kind of explosive bag creates a great psychological shadow for people, but in addition to the fire caused and the resulting smoke is hugely lethal.
There is another kind of killing that is extremely terrifying.
That's when a large crowd gathers.
Once gathered, artillery fire hit the city.
The hearts of the people are in turmoil.
At this time, it is very easy to cause a crowd to stampede.
Now, Dolgon managed to gather 20,000 men.
These people gathered together, and at this time, they saw that the artillery fire outside the city did not stop, and all of a sudden, there was chaos again.
At this point, several explosive packets were smashed into the area not far away.
And so, the faces of the people were like the color of the earth.
After a brief silence, someone finally let out an exclamation.
Then, the people who were still holding weapons just now, screaming to kill, at this moment, they fled to each other like crazy.
This mess doesn't matter.
But everyone gathered too closely.
So much so that they trample on each other.
Bang......
Not far away, the explosive package exploded.
Dozens of people fell directly because they were too close.
But more people, like frightened birds in the wind, fled for their lives in great fear.
The smoke of gunfire is rising, and everyone is out of sight.
Someone was knocked down.
The person who fell down could no longer get up.
Because countless feet on the left and right trampled on his body, and those who trampled on him, some also fell, and immediately after, more and more people fell.
Luckily Dolgon was on his horse, and the frightened horse trampled over a few men and galloped away.
The other cavalry were also frightened, and the horses lost control and went on a rampage.
So those poor Han soldiers on foot were miserable, and they still wanted to charge for their masters, but they would be trampled by their masters and their bones were shattered.
Many flag soldiers, although they are on horses, but the war horse is out of control, people also fall off the horse, which is lucky, but unfortunately their feet are still dragged on the stirrup, by the stirrup rope entangled, the war horse galloped, but the person has fallen to the ground, so he was dragged directly out of a bloody road on the spot.
Everywhere there was the sound of crying dad and calling mother.
Those who survived by luck now just want to go back and see their own family.
So he braved the fire and went back to his home like crazy.
The Han army, which had finally gathered together, had also dispersed in a hurry at this point, and at this time they really couldn't care about any masters.
Hong Chengchou was already panicked, here, he didn't have a family at all, but thinking that he had just descended, this Jiannu was about to be destroyed, and he suddenly had an urge to cry without tears.
His heart was already in turmoil, but he saw that at this time, Fan Wencheng was already running wildly to the side, running faster than a rabbit.
Hong Chengchou hurriedly chased after him, and there were occasional explosions around him, Hong Chengchou shouted: "Fan Gong ......"
When Fan Wencheng saw someone chasing him, he immediately showed a look of timidity and fear, hid in a corner, and shivered.
"Fan Gong, why don't you chase after the master......"
"The master is finished." By now, Fan Wencheng had already shown a look of despair, and said with trembling lips: "Don't you understand it now?" Our master...... He's finished, what Eight Banners Iron Rider...... I thought they were really invincible in the world, and I thought that they would take the world sooner or later, and the Ming Emperor was so stupid...... But now...... It's over, it's all over. ”
Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng shed tears and said sadly: "How many years have I followed them here, I thought that I would be rich and noble in the future, but where did I think that it would eventually become a dream." ”
When Hong Chengchou heard this, he had the same bitterness: "How is Fan Gong treated?" ”
Fan Wencheng didn't think about it, so he said: "Of course, it is to welcome the king into the city." ”
After a pause, Fan Wencheng continued: "Today, where can you and I escape?" There is no way out of the world. I know a lot of Jiannu's secrets, some of which I learned from my master, and some of which I collected on weekdays! When the army enters the city, I should go to serve, Hong Gong, you and I are both scholars, and we have both worked for the master, and it can be regarded as fate, you will also descend with me. ”
"It's ...... down," Hong Chengchou looked dazed.
His eyes immediately turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fan Wencheng, you persuaded me to surrender Jiannu at the beginning, and today you persuade me to surrender to Ming?" Who do you think of me? ”
Fan Wencheng dusted off his body, looked at the devastation in the city, and in the distance, there was a roar everywhere, and said: "At this time and that time, if you don't want to, it's your business, if I am you, I will lead my people to ...... anyway."
Anyway, I didn't linger any longer, and I went in a smoke.
At this time, Dorgon returned to the palace.
Seeing that it was cold in this palace, people had already run away, but at this time, there were no more guards left.
This time the shelling lasted only half an hour.
Zhang Jingyi, who was outside the city, looked at the incense burning on the side, knowing that the time was still short, and couldn't help but ask an officer behind him: "Go and ask what's going on?" ”
After a while, someone came to report: "Master, there are still a lot of gunpowder packs, and it will be no problem to blow them up for another half an hour, but it's just ...... It's just that the rubber mat is gone, and the thing is gone, and the bombing can't go far, so the shelling stopped. ”
When Zhang Jing heard this, he said regretfully: "This is a logistical problem, and it will be reviewed next time." ”
If this artillery wants to achieve the firing range, the most important thing is to be airtight, to put it bluntly, if it is not airtight enough, it will leak, and the power of the propellant will be greatly reduced.
When Francois and the Dutch people came to Daming, Zhang Jingyi proposed to them to purchase rubber.
These rubbers were imported and planted by the Francois from the Americas, and they did not know the use of rubber at this time, so it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty was willing to spend money, so they naturally sent people to transport a lot.
These rubbers are the best airtight materials in the world, especially in the application of artillery, first add propellant, then fill the partition, and finally fill with rubber, at this time, add gunpowder packs, the range can even be directly increased many times.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Why is there no movement in the city, I am still waiting for them to kill them." ”
Zhang Jingyi said speechlessly: "I see a large number of fires in the city, but I'm afraid I won't be able to kill them." ”
"Now in the city?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was full of eagerness.
Zhang Jingyi shook his head: "Wait a little longer, now there is smoke billowing everywhere, and there are fires everywhere, according to the minister's humble opinion, it is better to enter the city later." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse put his hands behind his back and sighed: "When you enter the city, you will be called me, I am tired, and I want to go and rest." ”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Thousands of soldiers were on standby.
Some rested directly on the position.
But those Dongjiang soldiers couldn't sleep, they never thought that they could kill Shenyang City, and they never imagined that this Shenyang would be destroyed under their noses.
Many people waited eagerly for the order to attack, looked at the billowing smoke in the city, and saw the raging fire rising in all directions, and for a moment they were eager to enter the city immediately.
At noon, the north wind called.
In the city of Shenyang, where the fire had weakened, a fire suddenly broke out again, and the fire borrowed the wind, and the smoke and dust were all over the sky.
There was a faint cry in the city, and the people outside the city were still waiting with bated breath.
The teams of the Donglin Army have begun to assemble.
The officers of each team have already begun to arrange for the city.
They gathered the men and horses of each team, took out a map of Shenyang City, and then drew the location where their team was going to be stationed in front of the students.
These students already have a course of drawing homework, and just by looking at the map, they probably understand the direction of their attack.
After that, the officers took the trouble to give the order of their mentor: "After entering the city, you must not harass the people, do not plunder, and if you do not resist, you must not kill people easily, this is a prohibition." In case of stubborn resistance, then immediately counterattack, everyone must be careful, be sure to beware of hidden guns and cold arrows, in the city, do not trust anyone, all food, supply outside the city, do not eat any food and water in the city. ”
Everyone agreed.
At this time, everyone was eager to try.
Just waiting for the order to attack last.
Finally......
First, a team of men and horses rode to a collapsed city wall to investigate.
After a few sticks of incense, they finally returned.
Probably reported the situation in the city.
The fire in the city...... It has almost been extinguished when it is already burnable.
But the smoke and dust are still very large.
Otherwise, it was a little better, and there didn't seem to be much organized resistance in it, and of course, it was not excluded that a small group of enemies would attack them.
Besides...... Most of the soldiers and civilians, if they were still alive, were already afraid, and they stayed where they were, not daring to move.
As for the situation in the interior, they didn't go deep into the city, so there was really no way to investigate.
Zhang Jingyi reported all these situations to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a clear eye at this time, and after listening to Zhang Jingyi's report, he clenched his fists and spit out two words: "Enter the city." ”
"Yes." Zhang Jingyi immediately gave the order to enter the city.
Immediately afterwards, the teams began to attack from the collapse of the city walls.
All the muskets were bayoneted, because in the city, if there was a chaotic situation, the muskets would not have time to react.
Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, a machine gun will be erected at each city gate and where the city wall has collapsed.
After the men inside advanced in and occupied the main strongholds and thoroughfares in the city, the machine-gun team was stationed here and there.
In order to enter the city, the Donglin Army did a lot of work.
For the first time they had taken a city directly, especially a large city like this, it was necessary to plan carefully to ensure that there were no huge casualties while maintaining stability.
As a result, it is often the student in charge of the investigation who strikes in front with a bayonet.
The rear team is on guard.
They didn't wear cotton armor, but they were all wrapped in heavy military coats, which were full of cotton wool, and the workmanship and texture were also excellent, to some extent, this thing not only kept warm, but also had a strong protective effect against general sword damage.
It can't be helped, unless it's a particularly sharp sword, and it really takes a bit of strength to pierce this thing.
