Chapter 335: Shenyang (5)
"Quick, quick......!"
The Jingbei Army, which broke into the city of Shenyang, quickly deployed in the city of Shenyang as a unit.
Groups of officers and men from Jingbei flocked to the major strategic points in Shenyang like a tide.
Because a number of high-ranking Manchu and Han officials in Shenyang were arrested by Jingbei officers and soldiers at Deshengmen, the bannermen in the city could not be effectively commanded, and the six yamen close to the Shengjing palace were the first to be breached by the third town, and all the Manchurian officials who fled in a hurry were also hunted down.
After taking over the defense of Dizaimun and Fushengmen, the Huideng Xiangbu of the new three towns took out all the mandarin duck infantry and white pole infantry in the town and rushed to the Changning Temple and the Khan Palace in the north of the city.
Khan to the palace is actually a two-entry courtyard, is the old slave Nurhachi in the construction of the palace of the temporary residence, the courtyard wall is only a zhang Xu high, but because it is the first administrative unit of the Later Jin regime to move into Shenyang, so it is of great significance, Huang Taiji or from the white flag to remove a hundred flags to garrison, these flags are all old people who follow Nurhachi to fight the world, Huang Taiji let them garrison the Khan Palace, in fact, it is to support them.
Shenyang City is not big, the surrounding is only nine miles, after the Jingbei army broke through the city wall, Niu Lu Ezhen Lekhun stationed in the Khan palace received the news.
In the face of the earth-shattering shouts and rumbling war drums in the city, Le Kehun was not afraid, but asked his Manchurian old men to set up escalators, took out long-cherished bows and arrows, and arranged a defensive line on the low courtyard wall of the Khan's palace.
It was Liu Zhongwu, the general of Xinsanzhen, who was responsible for attacking the Khan's palace, and as a Xin'an garrison who had personally experienced the massacre of the Dongyu, Liu Zhongwu was not careful and merciful to the Eight Banners in Shenyang City.
In the face of the recalcitrant Khan's palace guards, Liu Zhongwu did not choose to attack, but ordered his soldiers to capture all the Manchurian civilians near Beicheng, regardless of age or weak, and he wanted to follow the example of the Tartars in Gyeonggi to drive the civilians to attack the Qing army's stronghold.
Guerjia, Fucha, Niu Hulu, and Tong Jia, who live in the north city of Shenyang...... When the Manchurian nobles and civilians were dragged out of their homes by the revengeful Jingbei army, those Manchurian Dingkou who tried to resist were all cut down by the Jingbei army who broke through their homes.
"Retribution!"
The old man, who also lived in Beicheng, clutched the sword he had used in those years, and he was terrified by the painful wails of the Manchurians on the road outside the gate and the unbridled laughter of the Ming soldiers.
"In charge, the grandson and daughter-in-law have already hid in the cellar, and the son has gone to Jinzhou with the emperor to fight the Ming people, there are only two of us in this courtyard, and those Ming people should not embarrass us."
After the old man put the gate of the courtyard in place, his wife Zhao also hurriedly walked to the front yard.
"Spare us? When the old Khan broke through Shenyang, the 70,000 Han soldiers and civilians in the city, the old Khan did not let them go, do you think the Ming people will let us go? ”
The old man sighed heavily, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly.
"But we are also Han!"
The reaction of the old man made Zhao, who was already fifty-six, roar heavily.
"Han people, how many Han people have we killed, do you think the Ming people will let us go?"
The old man's real name is Nian Chongyan, he is the first batch of Ming troops who followed Li Yongfang to surrender to the east, from the Houjin to capture Fushun to Tieling and the later Liaoyang and Shenyang battles He has participated in, he clearly knows how Nurhachi dealt with the Han people in Liaodong, that is, the city of Shenyang where he lived, there were nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians slaughtered by the Manchurian soldiers, and the tall and majestic inner palace was also paved with the bones of the Ming people.
"Bang Bang ......!"
Zhao wanted to ask again, but the courtyard gate that was supported by two big trees was slammed open, and then more than a dozen Ming soldiers rushed to the courtyard viciously with knives.
"You have been requisitioned by our Jingbei Army, come with us now!"
The officers of the Jingbei Army led by the Jingbei Army are Ma Liu, the second team of the Mandarin Duck Soldiers of Xinsanzhen, and now the war in Shenyang has not stopped, and there is no official military order issued by Li Dashuai, and Ma Liu's actions are still somewhat measured.
"Ah, old man, I'll go with the general, but ...... my old wife?"
"Let's go!"
Ma Liu is not rough, it does not mean that the soldiers under his command are not rough, seeing that this old Tartar actually wants to bargain, several soldiers of the Jingbei Army just pulled out the long knife on their waists.
In just half an hour, Liu Zhongwu arrested nearly 1,000 Manchu and Han Eight Banners, and then drove them to the Khan Palace, which the Manchus regarded as a holy place.
"Break down the door and you can go home!"
Looking at the Manchurians gathered in front of the Khan's palace, Liu Zhongwu was full of spirit.
"Shoot arrows, shoot arrows quickly!"
Le Kehun watched his compatriots approach the courtyard wall with his bare hands under the long knife of the Jingbei Army with a cold face, and gave the order to attack without hesitation.
The Manchurian soldiers on the courtyard wall knew that the time had come to decide the life and death of the Khan Palace, so they raised their bows and arrows one after another, and shot arrows one after another.
With the whistling sound of arrows leaving the string, the unarmed Manchu civilians fell one after another on the way to charge, and those Manchurians who fell to the ground with arrows in the legs were trampled to death by the tide of people behind them before they could call.
Countless Manchurian old and weak women and children let out a desperate howl against the arrows in the sky, but they did not dare to turn back, because their Ming army made them extremely frightened.
"Shameless Southern Barbarian!"
Luckhun threw away the iron bow in his hand and drew the saber at his waist, he was over sixty years old and had long since lost the courage he had used to follow Nurhachi on the battlefield, although his archery skills were still as accurate as before, but he really couldn't pull the tight bowstring.
Obviously, it was impossible for more than 100 sweater women to block the sea of people in front of the Khan's palace, and after more than 300 people were killed and wounded, the remaining more than 700 Manchu bannermen finally rushed to the courtyard wall of the Khan's palace, and then climbed to the courtyard wall with the escalator that was snatched by the Jingbei army.
The old man did not choose to attack the courtyard wall, but with a dozen Manchurian old and weak people carrying a log that he didn't know where to find it and banging on the gate of the Khan's palace, at this time his only wish was to break open this courtyard for the damned Ming people, and then go home to take care of his eldest grandson.
"Boom, boom!"
Under the impact of the big trees, the gate of the Khan's palace made a burst of "click, click" wood breaking sounds, and the bricks and stones on the nearby walls were also constantly falling.
"Bang dang!"
The crumbling gate of the Khan's palace was finally slammed open by Da Mu Shengsheng, and the old man let out an excited shout, and when he looked back, his old wife Zhao had fallen in a pool of blood.
"Rush up, rush up, and settle the battle as soon as possible, but you can't be preempted by Li Rui and them."
The palace gate was breached, Liu Zhongwu was overjoyed, and hurriedly issued an order for a general attack.
The Jingbei army, which followed closely behind the Manchurian bannermen, rushed to the Khan's palace one by one with swords and dances.
