The courage of the Xia army was beyond the expectations of the Manchurians, and as the small north gate was breached, although the rainbow banner defending this place tried its best to defend, it was still defeated under the continuous offensive of the Xia army.

The so-called blessing is incomparable, and the disaster is not a single line, and the north gate of the town was also bombarded by the Xia army, and a city wall was collapsed.

Subsequently, the Xia army launched a full-scale attack, and under the order of Su Ci, the passionate attack horn sounded in the rear of the Xia army's formation, and the Russian garrisons of the Suzaku Left Brigade were led by the battle flags fluttering in the wind. Withstanding the long-range fire of the Qing troops on the city wall, they rushed towards the gap in the collapsed city wall.

The soldiers of the Russian garrison are basically large men with strong bodies, they are dressed in multiple layers of heavy armor, and their defense is extremely high, unless it is a projectile fired by a firebolt, ordinary arrows cannot penetrate the armor's defenses.

Therefore, the Qing soldiers on the city wall soon found that the arrows they shot clanged down on the bodies of the Xia soldiers, but they were rarely able to cause direct damage, and only a few unlucky people who were shot by the arrows would die without armor protection.

Under the long-range firepower of the Qing army, the lower army was insufficient, and soon came to the gap in the collapsed city wall, the Qing army had already laid a defensive line behind the gap in the city wall, and seeing that the Xia army was climbing the ruins, they hurriedly shot at the climbing Xia army with bird guns.

With a burst of gunfire, the Xia army in front was all shot and fell to the ground, but they were unmoved, the soldiers in the back stepped over the corpses of their comrades in front and continued to climb forward.

The Xia army was not afraid, and also brandished the battle axe to meet the battle, the two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle, although the Manchurian soldiers guarding the north gate of the town were not high, but they were still the elite heavy infantry who had gone through a hundred battles, and the Xia army was killed back and forth for a while, but even if they were wearing three layers of heavy armor, the two-handed battle axes in the hands of the Xia army could still ignore their armor and forcibly disembowel them.

In the melee, from time to time, the Manchurian infantry was chopped into armor by the tomahawks in the hands of the Xia soldiers, and even the flesh and blood under the armor were also split, which shows how terrifying the power of the tomahawk is.

In contrast, the long-bladed knives and spears in the hands of the Manchurian infantry were not effective in piercing armor, and usually the weapons they swung were directly bounced off by the iron pieces on the armor after hitting the enemy's armor, producing only a spark and leaving a scratch.

After the Xia army's battle axes were chopped down, no matter where they were chopped, they could easily break through the defense of the three layers of heavy armor on their bodies, and in battle, the Manchurian soldiers were cut off limbs from time to time.

Such a tragic battle made these Manchurian soldiers, who had been in the vanguard of the conquest of the Han Chinese, inevitably fearful, and their battle lines began to waver and retreat.

At this time, even the reluctant to attack his compatriots, Gushan Ezhen Zhuoluo, had to harden his heart, and killed those Manchurian soldiers and armor who were almost about to retreat, and deterred other foot soldiers who had escaped.

The bloody human head did barely stabilize the wavering morale of the army, but this was only temporary, as more and more Russian garrisons entered the city, the defense line formed by the Manchurian soldiers had to constantly retreat, the morale of the army became more and more shaken, and the battle line was shaky.

Gushan Ezhen Zhuoluo tried his best to stabilize the morale of the army, for this reason, he personally came to the front line, fighting side by side with Paoze, intending to rely on his own leading soldiers to inspire the soldiers around him, but his efforts were in vain after all, as Zhuo Luo was killed by an unknown Xia army foot soldier in the melee, the military spirit that could barely be maintained completely collapsed, and the Qing army fled in a hurry regardless of the Manchu and Han dynasties.

Shuo Sai discovered the instability of the battle line at the North Gate in advance, so he sent the soldiers and horses prepared in the city to rescue, but the reinforcements were still a step late, and when they arrived, the Qing army here had been defeated by the Xia army, and the reinforcements could only gather the routed troops and line up on the streets to meet the enemy.

With the fall of the north gate and the small north gate of the town, Shuo Sai had to admit that his plan to use the city wall to resist the offensive of the Xia army fell through.

Although only two doors were breached, Xia Jun was able to pass through this

The two gaps sent a steady stream of troops into the city, engaging in street battles with the Qing army, and this was indeed the case.

The ensuing battle was scarcely described, and although Shuo Sai tried his best to mobilize all his troops and horses to drive the Xia army out of the city, his intentions were declared bankrupt as more and more Xia troops poured into the city.

The battle in the city continued until late that day, and although the Manchurian soldiers inflicted many casualties on the Xia army, their bravery was unable to turn the tide of the battle.

Aixin Jueluo Shuosai, the prince of the Manchu clan, saw that the general trend was gone, and did not want to become a prisoner of war of the Xia army again, so he personally drew his sword and led the guards to launch the last charge in his life against the Xia army, and fought to the end until he died under the siege of the Xia army.

After Shuosai's death, the Qing army in Jinzhou City died or fled or surrendered, and the Xia army captured the last important town of the Liaoxi Corridor in only one day, and after ten years, the banner of the Han army was finally planted on the wall of this city again.

After the Xia army occupied the city of Jinzhou, the people in the city came to the streets to greet them, they cheered for the feat of Wang Shi to liberate Liaoxi, and could not wait to drag out of their homes with the acquiescence of the Xia army.

Those Manchus no longer have the arrogance of the past, and at this time, under the angry eyes of the Han people, they tremble, huddled on the cold ground, waiting for the judgment of fate.

Subsequently, Su Ci presided over the trial of these Manchus, and those Manchus who had been stained with the blood of the Han people were executed in public, and the scum who had oppressed the Han people and the Han women were also punished as they deserved.

At first, the onlookers were able to shout loudly, but as more and more Manchus were executed in public, some in the crowd began to sob. They were not saddened by the death of the Manchus, but remembered the tragic experiences of their own people who had been ravaged and suffered under the iron hooves of the Manchus.

Fortunately, all this has become a thing of the past, the arrival of the Xia army liberated them, gave them the justice they deserved, and also distributed all the land in the name of the Manchu people to the Han people, so that everyone really has land to cultivate.

After the Battle of Jinzhou, the Qing court shook again, not only because of the death of the royal family, but also because of the loss of Jinzhou, a place where soldiers must fight.

After the fall of Jinzhou, there will be no obstacles on the way for the Xia army to Shengjing, and if the Qing army wants to stop the Xia army south of Shengjing, it can only fight with the Xia army on the wide and flat Liaohe Plain.

Considering the characteristics of the Xia army's infantry and light cavalry, the Qing army's top brass still decided to make a big gamble, that is, to concentrate the country's forces on the Liaohe Plain to fight the Xia army to the death.

If the Qing army wins this decisive battle, they can rule with the Xia army in the western Liaoxi corridor, restore the territory before the Songjin War in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and continue to be the emperor outside the pass, but if the Qing army is defeated, not only will the land of Longxing be recaptured by the Han people, but they will also be driven back to their barren hometown.

This was naturally unacceptable to the Manchus, who were accustomed to a luxurious life, and in order to keep the land of Longxing and the current life, the Qing court expanded the scale of conscription.

Emperor Shunzhi personally issued an order, ordering each household of the banner people to send a strong man to participate in the war, and the Jurchen tribes should also provide soldiers, and sent envoys to the Mongolian tribes closest to Shengjing, and hired and recruited Mongolian cavalry to help the war with a large amount of money.

In order to keep Shengjing, the Qing court almost had to compromise its means.

On the other side, after conquering Jinzhou, the Xia army continued to divide its troops to the north and attack Guangning, and the Qing army in Guangning directly abandoned the city and fled before the arrival of the Xia army, so the Xia army occupied Guangning City without blood.

Su Ci did not personally lead the army to the north, he sent an envoy to Haicheng to contact Su Dingyuan in the north after capturing Jinzhou, he proposed that the two armies join forces and go north to attack Shengjing together, Su Dingyuan naturally accepted his proposal, and after Su Dingyuan's reply was sent to Jinzhou City, Su Ci led the army on the same day.

Twenty-four years ago, the Tatar chieftain Huang Taiji led 50,000 elite soldiers to attack the Daling River Fort, the Ming army resolutely resisted, but the Ming and Qing armies were very different in strength, the Ming army was finally annihilated, the Qing army occupied the Daling River Fort, and laid the foundation for the future Songjin War

foreshadowing.

Looking at the Dalinghe Fort in the distance and the place where the Ming and Qing dynasties had fought, Su Ci could vaguely see the remnants of the battlefield, his eyes seemed to have traveled through twenty-four years, and he couldn't help but burst into tears when he witnessed the whole process of shouting and killing, and the soldiers of the two armies fought hard.

"The heroes of the Ming Border Army, the younger generation Su Ci swears here, he will destroy the Tartars, and comfort the souls of the martyrs in the sky with the blood of the Tartars, and the younger generations are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, and the younger generations are the main generals of the whole army, so they can only replace the wine with water, and when the younger generations calm the Hulu and return from victory, they will definitely pay tribute to the martyrs with wine."

Su Ci whispered, and when the words fell, he bowed deeply, opened the kettle he had received from his own soldiers, and poured all the water in it on the unusually vigorous grass.

After Su Ci returned to the military formation, the army immediately crossed the Daling River and entered the range of the Daling River pasture, where the terrain was flat and the pasture was vigorous, and when the army passed through the pasture, it could still see many horses in the distance shuttling and galloping on the plain.

Su Ci looked at the galloping horses and said to the soldiers beside him: "Those horses will be the cornerstone of the formation of the Great Xia cavalry in the future, and I can already expect that in a few years, the scene of the Great Xia cavalry riding these horses to gallop on the Mongolian steppe against the Mongols."

After speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if I can personally lead the cavalry to follow the example of Ming Chengzu and attack Mongolia in the north."
