The roar of artillery has been going on for two days. The people in the capital went from panicking at the beginning to gradually adapting. Those tartars aren't anything remarkable. It's okay to be out there. I haven't come up to the walls until now.

And the Huang Taiji outside the city gradually began to have an expression of victory. He had already sensed that the fire on the walls was beginning to wane. Although, they still did not climb the city walls. But in this situation, the statement that the gunpowder reserve can only last for three days should be true.

On the third day, the shelling continued. But this time the decline in firepower is already clearly visible. There were even quite a few Tartar soldiers, braving the fire blockade, rushed to the city and began to climb the city walls.

Although in the end only two Tartars touched the upper edge of the wall. But it has already brought great encouragement to the military spirit of the Tartars.

"Pass my orders. The day after tomorrow, the general offensive will begin. ”

Huang Taiji couldn't wait. After three days of trial and attrition, he lost nearly 20,000 people. Although most of them were Han Chinese, as well as servant soldiers. But it still made Huang Taiji's heart extremely angry.

He couldn't wait to set foot in the city.

Unbeknownst to him, that very night, a secret treasury was opened. Countless ammunition was delivered to the city walls. In addition to gunpowder, there were also bombs made by various firearms bureaus. These things are not offensive enough. But it's really invincible when used for defense. Just light the fuse and throw it down the city.

Chongzhen still did not leave the city wall. He even forced all his ministers to join him and watch the large number of soldiers carry countless ammunition to the hanging baskets on the inner side of the city walls to stockpile. This is done to prevent shells or rockets from falling and causing explosions.

His eyes swept over the ministers, and he saw that many of them had that kind of mournful expression on their faces. An inexplicable pleasure surged in Chongzhen's heart.

"Tomorrow, I will let these house slaves come and go!"

Not only the soldiers defending the city, but also the loyal guards have been secretly prepared. You must know that the plan is not only to defeat Huang Taiji, but to completely annihilate the opponent.

Therefore, the final battle must be outside the city. The purpose of the army that Lu Xiao spent a lot of money to build was to fight this kind of tough battle.

The scene in front of him made the hearts of dozens of ministers cold on the spot. They also knew at this time, and the emperor had already known about their small movements. The reason why I didn't take people was to catch their movements and lead Huang Taiji to take the bait.

If it weren't for their various ardent expectations, Huang Taiji really wouldn't have come to attack the capital so soon.

Now it seems that whether it is the princes in the court or the emperor Taiji, they have been played by this emperor who has not been in power for a long time!

Some of the most serious ones were already weak in their legs at this time. They realized what was going to happen to them after the war, but they couldn't do anything.

The entire capital has been completely blockaded by the Loyal Guards. Whether it is a minister or a prince, they are not allowed to enter. They can't send a secret message now, and they can't escape the city.

Not only that, if Chongzhen doesn't move them for a day, they will have to endure the pain of this kind of disaster hanging over their heads day by day and may fall at any time.

This wave of murder and punishment really made Chongzhen understand.

After another day of tentative offensive and defense, Huang Taiji finally launched a general attack.

This time, it's not those servants who are cannon fodder, but the real Tartar elite.

They were so strong that after half an hour they began to erect ladders under the walls.

Countless Tartars began to rush up the ladder frantically. Quite a few even stormed the city walls at one point.

Although it was quickly chopped into a meat sauce. But it still made the Tartars behind cheer, because they saw hope.

The Tartar attack became more ferocious. As a last resort, gunpowder weapons were used on the city wall to 'press the bottom of the box'. Bundles of explosives were thrown from the city walls.

After a violent explosion, a large area was emptied directly under the city wall. The ladder that had just been built was also completely destroyed.

But this scene did not discourage the Tartars from attacking. They subconsciously thought that this was the last reserve of the Ming army.

Sure enough, after this, the Ming army did not use this gunpowder weapon for a while.

Quite a few Tartars once again stormed the walls. Fought with the Ming army.

But that's when that nasty bomb reappeared.

Huang Taiji frowned, the Ming army's gunpowder reserves were somewhat beyond estimates. This resulted in somewhat excessive casualties.

But to this extent, it does not mean that it will be withdrawn.

At this time, Huang Taiji felt a little resentful in his heart, and he had won several battles before. The Ming army deliberately destroyed those artillery and muskets before retreating.

As a result, the firearms in his hands were not at the same level as the Ming army.

Neither artillery firing nor musket suppression could be done at all. Therefore, it can only be filled by human life.

But now he realized that the effect of these firearms in the defense of the city was incomprehensible. No matter how experienced a warrior is, in front of this weapon, it is like a fragile porcelain. At the touch of it, it becomes fragmented.

Once again, the Tartars stormed the walls. This time they killed deeper. At one point, it even occupied a small section of the city wall.

But then there was another violent explosion, and the advantage was once again gone.

The whole war is actually a fishing.

Cut the firepower, lead the Tartars to attack, and give them a little sweetness from time to time. Let them see hope and attack more desperately.

To put it simply, it is to keep controlling the line, and when the line control is uncontrollable, directly put the skill to collect the troops, and then wait for the next wave of troops.

After repeating this several times, Huang Taiji also sensed that something was wrong. The casualties were too heavy, and in half a day, 30,000 lives were filled in, just touching the edge of the city wall.

Huang Taiji, who realized the plan, immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

As soon as they retreated, the muskets, which had all been extinguished, began to roar again.

Countless ammunition poured frantically into the Tartars' camp as if they didn't want money.

At the same time, the gates opened. The loyal and brave guards are the best in existence and the elite of the Beijing camp. A total of 30,000 men went out of the city in pursuit.

And at the front, Huang Taiji, who was fleeing in embarrassment, suddenly reined in his horse.

"I don't know whether to live or die, I really don't know the art of war. Array, kill back. ”

In the battle outside the city, the armies of the two sides were entangled together, and Huang Taiji was naturally not afraid of the cannons on the city wall. 's retreat in sheep's clothes this time finally made the Ming army fall for it.

The army of the Tartars showed no weakness in execution at this moment. Quickly go from chaos to order, and then slightly reorganize the array and kill back.

But I found out when I came back. The Ming army did not pursue deeply, but stopped not far behind them. even quickly set up a position, and there was a feeling of waiting for them to come to the door.

Huang Taiji's heart suddenly flashed a trace of bad thoughts.

How did He Heli die before?
