Zhe Khan is most interested in the sale of firearms in the Ming Dynasty, these prices are very high, a cannon even needs 1,300 taels of silver, this does not include the price of gunpowder, but for the wealthy Ezhe Khan, it is not a big problem, the more critical problem is that the Ming is willing to buy wool and sheepskin, the purchase price is also very expensive, which makes Ezhe Khan can't help but sweat coldly, he knows very well that in the future, the enemy of the Chahar people is not the Han Chinese, not the Japanese people, not the Koreans, his enemy is only one, it is the one who is ambitious, and his tentacles have reached into the Junggardan.

For Ezhe Khan, the news of the Han people's purchase of sheepskins and wool is not good news for him, because the Chahar Department is different from the Dzungar Department, the Dzungar Department is located in the western Xinjiang, where the water and grass are not lush, and the land is barren to the point of pitiful, because of this, the Dzungar Department has always been based on sheep raising, and the Chahar Department is located in the south of the desert water and grass is abundant, mostly horses, the Jungar people have also had an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, and the Han people will naturally buy sheepskins, wool and other things from the Dzungar Department, so that The Chahar Department has clearly suffered.

"Go, collect more sheep and cubs from the tribes of Mobei and Moxi." There were not many objections to the draft of this national letter, and when Shengjing City was captured, he could begin to arrange the oath, and now, he had to take precautions.

Arislan nodded, dragging his tired steps out of the tent.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

On the second day, the coalition forces under the city finally made a move, and the Jieshu on the city wall was obviously determined to burn all the jade and stones, and almost all the forces that could be used stood on the ten-mile-long Shengjing city wall, and dozens of Dutch artillery pieces were also placed on the city wall.

And the Ming army artillery battalion under the city began to set up test artillery, both sides of the battle are preparing in an orderly manner, neither anyone is noisy, and no one is timid, this is the moment to decide life and death, cowardice has no meaning, Jie Shu stood in a uniform at the head of the city, and the deputy armor weighed on Jie Shu's body, which obviously made him very uncomfortable, but he understood that at this time, he had to wear this exquisite armor to stand on the city tower, not for the sake of fighting, just for the hearts of the people.

"Lord Wang." Niu Lu of the Shengjing artillery battalion rushed over from the other side of the wall and beat a thousand.

"What's wrong?" Jie Shuli turned around, saw Niu Lu's anxious face, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, knowing that something must have happened The artillery battalion of the Ming army began to erect artillery under the city, and he had ordered the artillery on the head of the city to shell the artillery positions under the city, but until now, no sound has been heard: "There is a problem with the artillery?" ”

Lu shook his head, and Ai Ai replied, "No...... No, it's just that the artillery positions of the Ming army are too far away, and the artillery in the city cannot fall at all within twenty zhang of the range of our artillery. ”

Hearing this, Jie first breathed a sigh of relief, and then became nervous. There are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that the Ming army first adjusted the artillery outside the firing range. Then another 20 zhang was moved for bombardment. The second possibility is that the Ming artillery fired at a longer range than the Dutch artillery, and one possibility is nothing. If the second possibility is possible, it will be meaningful.

"Got it. Go down and prepare. Jie Shu made a disapproving expression, he didn't want to let his land lose color and disturb the morale of the army. Either way, it may not be something that can be reversed by man. Case. It's better to face it calmly.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom," the roar ......of a row of artillery in the city rang out. The defenders on the city wall couldn't help but get nervous. In the following seconds. Steel ball cannonballs burst all over the city walls. Only then did Jie Shu know. His luck wasn't too good. Because the possibility is the second. Other words. Although so many Dutch artillery pieces were placed on the city walls. But in terms of range. However, it has a range of nearly 20 zhang less than the Ming army's ground artillery. It may not be a big deal. It's not a big deal on some battlefields. But for the Qing army defending the city. It's like adding insult to injury.

"Lord Wang." Several goshkhas immediately rushed up. Protect this prince and hide in the city tower. And some of the soldiers on the city wall were blown up by artillery or directly turned into pulp. Or they were shot by sputtering steel nails and iron filings. Dog's breakfast. Small-scale chaos began. After all, there were more than just well-trained soldiers standing on the walls. More often than not, it was a temporary conscription to assist in defending the city. Some of the strong men were so frightened that they hid behind the battlements and shivered. There are land monsters screaming to go down to the city.

"No one is allowed to run. The Ming army ascended the city wall. No one wants to live. To stay alive. Take your courage. Fight to the death. "Jie Shu doesn't know where to get the strength. Break free from a few of the guards who escorted him to Goshha, the city tower to hide from the artillery fire. Again appeared on the city walls. The saber on his waist was drawn from the ground. His eyes were blood-red and he danced with a cold sword: "Order." Anyone who tries to flee to the city. There is no forgiveness. ”

I don't know if it was the threat that played a role. It was Prince Kang who gave these Manchurians courage. The city walls were full of people, and immediately quieted down a lot. They all returned to their posts.

Before Jieshu's words fell, the second round of artillery roared again, the entire city wall trembled, the hearts of the defenders trembled, and their hearts trembled in the smoke of gunpowder.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The rain of bullets fell on the city walls, followed by a blur of flesh and blood accompanied by a wave of desperate moans, the sound of which was contagious

It is after seeing the Ming army under the city began to bombard, and the city wall is helpless, this mood is undoubtedly worse, despair began to spread, here is the most important stronghold in Liaodong, is the mausoleum of Taizu Taizong, is the heart of the Eight Banners that once stood for a while, and at this moment, the originally proud Manchurians have hidden under the battlements, like lambs to be slaughtered, have long forgotten the rise of the Manchurians, the glory of this city, they just want to live.

"Give me a shot." Jie Shu brandished his saber in despair and yelled fiercely, no matter whether he could shoot those damn Ming artillery positions or not, these damn Dutch artillery should not lie here quietly, at least they should return fire, they should give some deterrence to the enemy under the city, even if it is for show, at least it will boost morale.

"Wow."

"Boom, boom, boom, ......boom" The cannon on the city wall roared, rising puffs of gunsmoke, with this burst of cannons, the Qing soldiers hiding behind the wall battlements finally recovered some hope, and they didn't dare to poke their heads out to see how lethal they were, but for them, as long as our artillery can also sound, it is enough.

The bombardment lasted for a whole morning, the capital was the old capital of the Manchurians, and the city wall was naturally strong and abnormal, how could this old-fashioned artillery be shaken, although this artillery fired thousands of artillery fire, but on this majestic city wall, there were only countless more craters and holes, and it was too far from the collapse of the city wall.

The Japanese and Chahar couldn't wait, they called themselves warriors, but they didn't want to wait until the Ming army's artillery blew up the entire Shengjing City and then clean up the mess, not to mention this trend, even if the ammunition of the artillery was all consumed, it was impossible to have an impact on the walls of Shengjing City, after all, it was still an old artillery filled with iron balls, and the new artillery was not equipped with a naval division at all, after all, the wooden battleships of the naval division could not withstand that huge impact.

Kawatsunayoshi, who had been promised the benefits yesterday, was in good spirits when he woke up early this morning, and at this moment he had assembled a death squad, which numbered only 20,000 people, and was eating fragrant rice from North Korea, and this was their last meal, because after they had eaten enough, they would be the main force of the siege.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi showed a lot of straightened his waist, this time the damage to the Japanese was the most, but in terms of merit, the Japanese were also the highest, and the Ming promised that after the victory, the railroad tracks would be laid, in a sense, he pulled the Tokugawa Tsunayoshi a North Court Protectorate, where there can be a pile of minerals higher than the mountain, as long as the trade route is passed, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's originally shattered dream can be reunited, therefore, today his interest is very good, and he takes the initiative to ask for war.

After eating the hot and fragrant rice, the 20,000 Japanese death squads finally began to repay the 'food money', and they were organized into 100 teams, each of which was given ladders and five wooden shields, which were rudimentary, but they were also made in a hurry, and all the reserves were exhausted.

At this moment, the artillery battalion of the Ming army began the last bombardment, the loaded artillery was ignited in turn, the ignition powder burned rapidly in the fire door, and then the gunpowder in the gun chamber was ignited, and under the huge impact force, the shells in the barrel and the porcelain fragments, iron sand, iron pellets, gravel and other debris filled in it sprayed out together, and all fell on the city wall. Tumbling shells whizzed and fell from mid-air, each shell causing huge casualties to the Qing army......

The Qing army in the city still did not have the intention of giving up the city wall, they would rather be beaten here passively, than give the city wall to the coalition army in vain, because this is their last barrier, once they give up, it is equivalent to three or four hundred thousand Manchu to the mortal enemy, what they don't know is that after a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, the Ming army's gunpowder has been almost consumed, unless it is transported from the naval base of North Korea, but it will take at least half a month.

As the sound of earth-shattering sounds, the faces of the besieging Japanese death squad all showed excited expressions. They were not afraid of death, for they were promised that if they made it to the castle alive, they would be exempted from the labor of digging for the mines, and they would receive a reward and be placed in the guard camp, which was the best place for the Wake.

The 20,000 Japanese death squads raised their shields and long knives, and then exhaled and shouted together. The dull shouting was uniform, and even covered up the aftermath of the artillery, the Japanese people never lacked the barbaric and ferocious fighting spirit, and the Japanese people did not need too much encouragement for a moment's work, and the Japanese were already full of morale.

In the midst of such a suffocating shout, the Japanese death squad began to sprint towards Shengjing City like arrows off the string, and the broken cotton boots under their feet stepped on the snow, making a crunching sound.

After the artillery fire stopped, the Qing army on the city wall finally eased up, and one by one their heads poked out of the female wall, and then they saw the Japanese people all over the field dancing wooden shields and war swords, carrying the ladder to rush down the city, and the breath that had just been relieved couldn't help but become nervous again.

Just when they rushed to the city wall hundreds of zhang range, the artillery on the city wall finally sounded, the artillery of the full people was really aggrieved, in the face of the artillery of the Ming army could not effectively counterattack, but once the Japanese began to attack the city, then the effect immediately rose, one by one the artillery fell down in the Japanese people, and then brought a large area of casualties, this is not the power of the Manchurian artillery, it is really the formation of the Japanese people is too dense, smashed in the human nest, countless steel nails and iron filings quickly dispersed, although

The death was enough to leave many of the widows covered in wounds.

The Japanese were not fools, and quickly began to disperse their formation, and continued to charge, and as long as the walls were in sight, it was a victory.

Jieshu let out a roar: "Archer." ”

"Archer ......"

On the walls of each section of the "Archer ......", officials such as leaders, vests, and cattle were full of people conveying orders one after another.

Then the Duoqing soldiers out of the bow and arrow behind him, pulled the bowstring, the tip of the arrow aimed at the black dots moving forward under the city, I have to say, the Manchurians outside the pass are extremely skilled in bows and arrows, after the artillery stopped, when they felt out the bow and arrows, and pulled the bow to wind, they regained a lot of courage.

"Shoot."

Sneer...... Countless sharp arrows from the bowstring were like flying locusts in a half-arc in the sky, and the sharp arrows flew in the direction of the Manchurians who let out the war cry.

Then, a large number of people fell down with a muffled grunt, their bodies quickly stiffened in the cold, and then they lay down in the snow forever. Some of the Japanese raised their shields to block, and in the sound of tuk, the featherless arrows pierced into the wooden shields, but there were no casualties.

“。” The bows and arrows of the Manchurians made the Japanese people even more wild and afraid of death, but the spirit of bushido has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is definitely a great shame for anyone to take a step back, not to mention that they are now working hard for their future, only by climbing the city wall can they be incorporated into the guard camp, and only by joining the guard camp do not need to work hard day and night under the whip of the guards to cut down trees and dig ores, and the pain of day and night is more terrible than death.

Looking at the large number of casualties under the city, the courage of the full men on the city walls rose a lot, and what they were afraid of was not a face-to-face battle with the enemy, but the fear of being killed at any time by the roar of artillery, but not even the enemy, fortunately, the roar of artillery was over, and it was replaced by the way they were most familiar with fighting.

A sharp arrow gathered into a black pressure of the 'dark cloud' did not pour towards the Japanese people under the city, and the damage of the Japanese began to gradually increase, but because of experience, many of the Japanese without a shield began to hide behind the shield-wielding Japanese people, instead of blindly rushing, and this wooden shield area is also large enough, enough to be half a person high, as long as it is not particularly unlucky, it is still reluctant to save life in front of the sharp arrows, although the casualties are increasing, but compared to the damage caused by the first shower of arrows, it is really nothing.

The people in the city also saw this, especially Jieshu who was quietly holding on to the wall buttress to watch the battle, the Japanese people were getting closer and closer to the root of the city wall, Jieshu turned around and gave an order to Zuo Ling behind him: "Get ready." ”

"Wow." Zuo Ling's face was excited, because under the double blow of artillery and bows and arrows, the casualties of the Japanese who were not afraid of death were too great, and looked down along the wall battlements, and there were dense corpses lying on the snowfield, these hateful Japanese people obviously did not take their lives seriously, and still continued to rush down the city, but according to Zuo Ling's estimate, this time the charge of the coalition army may be miscalculated, as long as they hold today, these originally demoralized Manchus will naturally recover their high morale, and some of the Manchus who temporarily went to the city, can also accumulate some experience in defending the city, which means that Shengjing is not so easy to shake, and they still have hope.

After a few rounds of arrows, the Japanese finally rushed to the base of the city wall, and then many people braved the rain of arrows to erect ladders and began to climb frantically towards the city.

Eventually, more and more Japanese arrived under the city walls, and at this time, bows and artillery were obviously of little use, after all, bows and artillery could attack from a distance, but the opponent was at your feet, and they couldn't shoot anything.

And at this moment, a piece of ice cubes of various utensils were lifted on the city wall, many people began to directly lift stones, frozen ice cubes to the city wall slammed, there are not many rocks in the city, but in this Liaodong, there is no way, Jie Shu has already let people dig out the black mud, and then knead it into a ball, and then let people continue to water, in this cold Liaodong, the water vapor covering the black mud immediately solidified into ice cubes, the more water is watered, the more ice cubes, and then it becomes a piece of ice ball as hard as a rock.

The rocks and ice made the Japanese people suffer a lot, and the huge stones fell from the top of the city, and those who climbed up the ladder had no place to hide, even if they raised their shields, the effect was not great, or they were quickly smashed by the stones to the ground, or they were directly smashed on the head and flowered, and perhaps the corpse was still hanging on the ladder.

For the Manchus, the city walls were close at hand, but their nightmare was far from over.
