"Why does Chongzhen dare? Because there is an internal response! ”

Hauge drank.

"Do you think Chongzhen is here to fight? No! He has come to be surrendered! Fortunately, I defeated Dorgon, otherwise, by this time, we would have already become prisoners! Kneel on the ground and watch Dolgon dedicate the Qing Dynasty's inheritance! ”

Haoge was so hateful that if it weren't for the Ming army attacking the city, he really wanted to send someone to bombard the Qingning Palace and bombard Dolgon and his emperor's younger brother into slag.

At this time, the 50,000 Ming troops had all arrived outside the city, and although the explosions continued, they still did not launch a full-army onslaught.

Chongzhen knew that in this northern expedition, he only had these main forces, and it was difficult to recruit them from the pass, so he cherished his troops very much and was unwilling to consume the lives of his soldiers in the tragic siege battle.

The explosions were almost all aimed at suppressing the captives on the city, so that the Ming army could calmly pile up ice and snow under the city to facilitate the later siege.

The snow was compacted and hard as the ground, and covered with cinders and crumbles, so that cavalry and infantry could easily pass through and rush up to the city.

"Master, the Ming army wants to fill the snow and raise the ground!" The captives lost their voices.

"I can see it! Archery, we can't let them succeed, we can withdraw in half an hour, and we can't fall short! ”

The captives everywhere knew the intentions of the Ming army, and stood at the head of the city and kept firing arrows to attack the Ming army advancing with ice and snow.

However, the Ming army was fully armored and its face was covered, and the arrows of Jianyu could not achieve much effect at all. At the same time, the mortars of the Ming army were also in position, and as long as the captives attacked the Ming army, they would be heavily bombarded.

The captives defending the city quickly reported the situation to Haug.

"The cunning Ming army actually invented such a light artillery! Damn it! ”

"Lord Wang, what should we do?"

"The people from the outer city have entered the city, let them retreat, remember, set fire along the way, you can't leave a piece of wood or a grain for the Ming army!"

"Huh!"

Haoge listened to the roaring cannon and shouted: "Chongzhen, I want you to have your life, but if you don't have your life to go back, I want to let all the Ming troops freeze to death in this ice and snow!" ”

Outside the city, Wu Sangui has been closely watching the movements in the city, he has long found out that the defenders of Jianyu are all stragglers, and they have no combat power at all.

However, Emperor Chongzhen has not allowed it, and Wu Sangui can only suppress his restless heart and wait patiently for military orders.

But looking at the great achievement that was close at hand, he couldn't stop complaining: "I am the capital of Liaodong, the great achievement of breaking through Shenyang at my fingertips, do I still have to give it to others?" ”

Wu Sanfu heard his brother's complaints and said with relief: "Big brother doesn't have to be so impatient, I believe that the emperor must have his own considerations." That's all we have for our troops, after capturing Shenyang, we have to divide our troops to attack Liaoyang and other places, and we can't fight to the death! ”

Seeing that Wu Sangui didn't speak, Song Xiance also spoke: "Even if you can easily take the city, you have to attack the inner city of Shenyang, which is not something we can easily take!" ”

"Taking the city is the first achievement!" Wu Sangui drank.

"Okay, even if the emperor gives this first merit to Xiong Wei, so what, can he surpass you?" Song Xiance asked.

Wu Sangui was worried about this, and he didn't speak angrily.

In the Chinese army, Zhou Yingluo, as Chongzhen's guard small flag, stood beside Chongzhen, watching the Ming army besiege but not attack, and he didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take the city in one go?"

"What's the hurry, I have to wait for all the people from their outer city to enter the inner city, and then attack!" Chongzhen said.

"Why? Shouldn't it be an all-out attack and try to reduce the number of enemies defending the city? ”

"We will surround Shenyang, they don't have any supplies, the more people in the inner city, the greater the consumption!" Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yingluo and said slowly.

"Oh!" Zhou Yingluo roughly understood, "The emperor has not prepared to storm Shenyang from beginning to end, you want to trap them!" ”

"There's a sense of that." Chongzhen pretended to be mysterious, "A Shenyang is nothing, and the soldiers and horses built by the captives are more than this!" ”

"Your Majesty, look, there is a lot of black smoke coming out of Shenyang City!" Tian Shouxin exclaimed.

"Are you finally going back?" Chongzhen stood up, "Order Wu Sangui and Xiong Wei to attack the whole army, and occupy and control the south, west, and north cities within a stick of incense!" ”

"A stick of incense?" Tian Shouxin thought he had misheard.

"Yes, a stick of incense!"

……

Xiong Wei was also taken aback when he received the military order, but he didn't hesitate and immediately ordered someone to beat the drum.

In the sound of drums, Xiong Wei's entire army charged and headed towards the north side of the city.

After Wu Sangui got the military order, he smiled gloomily, the soldiers at the head of the city were all withdrawn, looking at this black smoke, it must be that the captives burned the outer city, not to mention the time of a stick of incense, such an empty city, it can be taken in a quarter of an hour.

"Sanfu, lead the troops to attack quickly and take the southern side of the city."

Hearing that the soldiers on the south and north sides had begun to attack, Chongzhen of the Chinese army was not in a hurry and led people to move forward slowly.

After a stick of incense, Xiong Wei firmly occupied the northern city, and at the same time spread his forces to the east and west cities.

Wu Sangui was even more aggressive, he rushed to the southern city faster, and at the same time, with lightning speed, occupied most of the cities on both sides of the east and west cities, and almost surrounded Shenyang.

For a time, the inner city of Shengjing was surrounded by the banner of the Ming army.

"Hmph, the Ming army will pick up the cheap." Hauge saw that after the defenders withdrew, the Ming army quickly attacked and occupied the city, and said disdainfully.

"Although we have the ability to hold on, the occupation of the city by the Ming army will inevitably hit the morale of the army!" Zilharang Road.

"Morale? Dolgon has already lost the morale of the Qing Dynasty! Haoge shouted, "What we can do is to drag Chongzhen in Shengjing and wait for King Qin's army to surround inside and outside." ”

"Not bad." Dai Shan nodded, "The Ming army is good at defending the city, not good at field warfare, as long as the army of King Qin comes to help, we will attack inside and outside, and the odds of victory are very high." ”

Seeing that there was no new movement after the Ming army occupied the city, Hauge left the city and rode around the city on horseback to encourage the morale of the army.

Dai Shan also took the elite men and horses of the red flag to inspect back and forth in the city, checking and filling in the gaps.

Over the years, the Qing Dynasty has repeatedly entered the customs to attack cities and plunder land, and has been invincible in field battles, and also has strong combat power in siege warfare.

In fact, their ability to defend the city is also quite strong, and their experience in defending the city is also quite rich.

In just one hour, the city was full of boulders, sasswood, tung oil and other materials, and all kinds of artillery were also transported, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the outside of the city.

Bows and arrows were neatly stacked, gunpowder for bird guns and artillery was well stored, and everything was ready to be harvested.

Dai Shan braved the howling cold wind to inspect it, was very satisfied, and returned to the tower in the north city.

He looked at the raging fire in the outer city, smelled the pungent smell, and said in his heart, "It is absolutely impossible for Minggou to break through Shengjing City!" ”
