The sun is rising, outside the city of Shenyang.

Li Dingguo led nearly 200,000 soldiers of the Western Route Army to attack from all sides.

In the early morning, the 11th Army of the Wehrmacht was in the east, the 12th Army of the Wehrmacht was in the south, the 13th Army of the Wehrmacht was in the west, and the 14th Army of the Wehrmacht was in the north.

Li Dingguo led the Chinese army of the Western Route Army to sit in the west, and converged with the military headquarters of the 13th Army of the Wehrmacht to command the siege battle.

"Inform all armies that the artillery of each department can open fire, shoot on their own, and test the number and range of artillery of the Qing army, as well as the reality of several lines of defense outside Shenyang."

"Yes!"

Soon, the 11th to 14th armies of the Wehrmacht received orders from Li Dingguo, and at this time, the artillery attached to each department had been deployed in front of the army formation, and the gunners of each department were making final corrections.

Immediately afterwards, the artillery of each department began to roar one after another, and the four national defense armies, three or four thousand artillery pieces bombarded the city from all sides of Shenyang at the same time, so that the Qing soldiers stationed inside and outside the city were terrified.

Rumble!

The red-coated cannons of the various divisions of the National Defense Force had a range of three or four miles, and at this time, almost all the red-coated cannons were concentrating their fire on the Shenyang city wall. The Franco cannons and rocket artillery vehicles equipped by various units were concentrated firepower to bombard the four lines of defense outside Shenyang.

As the shells fell on the defense line outside the city, a large number of sandbags deployed in each defense line played a huge role, and many shells were blocked by the sandbags, making it difficult to form an effective ricochet, and it was difficult to hit the Qing soldiers hiding behind the sandbags.

A large number of rockets were also blocked by low walls and sandbag walls, and the Qing soldiers stationed everywhere were all cowering in the trenches, and they would never rise before the Ming artillery fire stopped, which made the Ming army's artillery fire seem fierce, but the actual damage caused was very limited.

At this time, in the trench of the outermost defensive line in the west of Shenyang City, Seleng curled up at a bend in the trench, and there were constantly Ming artillery shells whistling over his head, and he and his companions around him did not dare to move, and even breathed carefully, for fear that there would be shells smashed into the trench and smash everyone into meat pies.

Seleng was originally subordinate to the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner, because he was already fifty-one years old, his body was not very healthy, and he was not qualified in the annual inspection, so he was not recruited as a Mongolian Zhengbai Banner soldier.

But now that the Qing Kingdom had reached a critical point of survival, almost all the men in Seleng and the tribe had been recruited, even the boys who were six or seventh.

Seleng's cousin with the blue flag in Manzhou, Halag, who is fifty-four years old this year, was also recruited as a Manchurian country soldier, and should be stationed in the defense line in front of Shengjing City at this time, right?

When Prince Yu issued the order to recruit all the Manchu and Mongolian tribes as soldiers, it did not cause any turmoil among the Manchurian banners and Mongolian tribes, and everyone very consciously picked up their weapons and stationed in various fortifications according to the deployment of Prince Yu.

Why?

Because whether it is the cousins Seleng and Harage, or the rest of the Manchu township soldiers and Mongolian tribesmen, they know very well in their hearts that since the rise of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus and Mongols have owed too much blood debt in Liaodong and in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, in Liaodong alone, there were already three or four million Han people in the Wanli period, but how many aboriginal Han people are there in Liaodong today?

After a series of tyrannies such as "killing poor ghosts" and "killing rich households" during the Nurhachi period, as well as the repeated wars during the Huang Taiji period, as well as the cruel exploitation of the Han people by the banners of Manchuria, Mongolia, and banners, almost every year of burning, killing and looting, the original three or four million Han people in Liaodong have disappeared, and now almost all the Han people in Liaodong have been captured and plundered from the customs over the years!

This blood debt is still remembered by the Ming Dynasty, the hundreds of millions of Han people in the Guannai are remembered, and the more than 800,000 elite Ming troops led by Liu Yan are also remembered!

If this battle is lost, what will happen to the Manchus and Mongols??

Although Seleng is only the most ordinary and low-level tribal soldier in the Qing army, he is also clear in his heart that the Qing Dynasty cannot be defeated, otherwise the Manchus and Mongols will suffer from the crazy revenge of the Han people, which is already the consensus of all Manchus and Mongols inside and outside Shengjing City, so at this time everyone fell into madness, even the old man and the woman, they all consciously took up arms and wanted to fight the elite Ming army to the end.

There are even more radical Manchu people shouting: If you really can't hold Shengjing City, then burn it down, and burn it to ashes along with all the Han people in the city, and it must not be left to Han dogs!

At this time, Selen listened to the more and more fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, the dull roar of the Franco machine gun and the red-clothed cannon, the piercing sound of the rocket artillery car firing through the air, and the roar of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming army in the distance, all of which were intertwined to form a picture of Hongda.

It's just that this picture scroll is extremely spectacular for the Han people, but for the Qing Dynasty, it is a life-threatening talisman.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a cannonball slammed into the sandbag wall not far away, making a frightening muffled sound.

The originally solid sandbag wall has been bombarded by the Ming army's artillery shells for more than an hour, and it has become very loose, and Seleng even saw that many sandbags have been damaged, and the sand inside is leaking out.

Rumble!

Another shell hit the sandbag wall over there, and this time the sandbag wall could no longer hold it, and it fell down with a bang, blocking a small section of the trench, and a gap of more than a dozen steps appeared in the outermost sandbag wall of the defensive line.

"Run!"

Although he was old, his brain was very good, and he immediately roared, and bent down and ran around the trench, and went mad to leave the trench.

Many people around fled with them, but they were stopped by the generals at all levels who supervised the war, and even one of the Paishku drew a knife and hacked an unlucky ghost to death, which made Selen and the others stop in place.

At this moment, several shells continued to come in through the gap in the sandbag wall, slammed into the wall of the trench, and then bounced rapidly, forming ricochets, which began to bounce back and forth in the trench.

In a very short period of time, a few shells swept across a large section of the trench, and Selen saw with his own eyes that the Pashku who had just wielded a knife to kill was hit by a cannonball, and the whole person turned into a blood mist in front of his eyes, and his head and stump fell to the ground!!

After a while, Seleng stood up tremblingly, and the surviving Mongol tribesmen around him also stood up, and in the trench that was still crowded just now, there were only four or five people left, and the remaining soldiers were all turned into flesh and blood on the ground.

Suddenly, Seleng listened suspiciously, only to see that the artillery fire of the Ming army began to thin out, and suddenly exclaimed: "Build fortifications, the Ming army is going to kill!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the horns sounded one after another in the various defense lines of the Qing army, and the artillery fire of the Ming army finally stopped.

The surrounding Mongol tribesmen were frantically fortified and ready to shoot with bows and arrows in hand, or drew their swords and clenched their spears and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

And Selen also stood in one place with a short spear, and then cautiously raised his head and looked to the west.

I saw that the army formation formed by the Ming army stretched for more than ten miles, boundless and uniform, like an indestructible city wall, pressing towards his side.

Moreover, Seleng also saw that a large number of Huzun cannons were also pushed, forming an artillery array in front of the Ming army's formation, and pressing them over to this side together.

"The Ming army has a small cannon!"

Selen hurriedly sat on the ground, and then shouted loudly, and the surrounding Mongolian tribesmen were also in a commotion, but everyone's faces were not only nervous and fearful, but also a little cruel and bloody.

Now the Manchus and Mongols have no way to retreat, and the Ming army of hundreds of thousands of horses is aimed at exterminating the Qing Dynasty, and by this time, all the Manchus and Mongols are ready to fight to the death.

"Hangou has cannons, and we have them too!"

Although there were hundreds of artillery pieces on the city wall of Shenyang, they could not hit the military formation of the Ming army, so in the face of the artillery fire of the Ming army just now, especially the bombardment of the red-clothed artillery in the Ming army's formation, the hundreds of artillery pieces on the city wall did not return fire, and all of them became decorations.

But now in the various lines of defense, Duoduo has mobilized a lot of Huzun cannons, all of which are collected from all over Liaodong, although the quality is not very good, and some Huzun cannons even have the risk of exploding, but at this time, they can't control much, and they are all pushed out at this time.

The section of the line where Seleng was located was also divided, and it was being filled by two Mongol tribesmen.

These two tribal soldiers are women, Seleng recognizes them, they are a pair of sisters of the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner, and they are the "good girls" in the eyes of acquaintances of each banner on weekdays, and it is said that they also participated in the slave hunting team in the tribe, and the two women have caught a few Han slaves with their own hands, and they have also killed Han slaves.

Now the two sisters have also come to the battlefield to fight for the future of the Qing Dynasty. Seleng saw it in his eyes, and a trace of anger surged in his heart: "Damn Han dog, what's wrong with being loyal to the Qing Dynasty, why resist?" Now that such a good woman has to go to the battlefield to fight for her life, isn't Changshengtian no longer open! ”

Soon the two sisters were loaded, and then turned back and rebuked: "Damn minions, go and bring in scattered bullets and gunpowder again!" ”

This section of the defense line of Seleng also allocated dozens of Han people, but they were bombarded by the Ming army for a while, and more than a dozen people have been damaged, and the rest of the Han people are all shaken by the morale of the army, they are all Han people, and they have the opportunity to surrender, so at this time, all the Mongols are on guard against these people, and they will be hacked to death at the slightest collision, and they will not be tolerated.

Those Han people were reprimanded, and hurriedly nodded and went to carry the ammunition, and Seleng also scolded the cheap seed when he saw it, but he didn't expect it to be such a so-called "cheap seed", which made their Qing Dynasty on the verge of extinction, and made them the warriors of the Qing Dynasty tremble day by day!

Seleng looked around, and sent a group of fresh troops from the rear, the strength of this side has reached more than 100 people, and there is a tiger cannon to defend, there are more than 30 archers among more than 100 people, seeing this, Seleng has settled down, and it should not be a problem to hold here.

Suddenly, the sound of the Ming army's march outside suddenly stopped, without a little delay, which made Selen very surprised, turned his face to look, and found that the sister who operated the Tiger Zun cannon was also very surprised, and the sister couldn't help but stand up and look out, wanting to observe the movement of the Ming army.

Seleng felt inappropriate, and was about to shout to stop it, but he heard a crisp sound of bird firing, and the sister was suddenly shot in the head, and the very beautiful bun face in Seleng's eyes was suddenly torn apart by lead bullets, and a large piece of skull was directly lifted off the back of the head, and Bai Huahua's brains were scattered on the ground, splashing the stunned sister next to her.

"Sister!!"

The sister screamed bitterly, and then screamed and lit the loaded Huzun cannon, regardless of whether it could shoot the Ming army outside.

Rumble!

A loud bang, a flame.

Seleng was pushed to the ground by the air wave, and the Huzun cannon exploded directly, and the violent explosion directly overturned more than a dozen Mongolian tribesmen around, and the sister who lit the Huzun cannon was directly blown into two sections, and the nearby sandbag wall and low wall were blown out of a gap.

"No!"

Looking at the bloody scene in the trench, Seleng shouted in despair, and at this time, the horn sound also sounded in the Ming army formation outside, which was the horn sound of the Ming army's attack!
