Chapter 653: The Fourth Line of Defense in the Bloody Battle (3)
West of Shenyang City.
At this time, Prince Su Lai Mubu's face was like ashes, and more than 100,000 men and horses of the Ming army in front were rushing over like a mountain and a sea, even if the artillery on the city wall was already bombarding wildly, the Ming army brigade did not flinch at all, and under the cover of a large number of Ming artillery, it continued to rush into the fourth line of defense in the west.
Even if it is more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner, which is the strongest remaining combat power, it is also defeated like a mountain at this time, and it is scattered by the Ming army, and it is mixed with the defeated soldiers of each banner, and it is fleeing in the direction of the city wall.
At this time, it was already in the afternoon, Liu Yan mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers of the second, third and fourth armies of the National Defense Army to launch a general attack, and all the soldiers under the cover of thousands of artillery pieces of various kinds, only one charge broke the Qing army's defense line, which was also what Liu Yan did not expect, as if it was his own heavy punch, hitting a ball of cotton, which made Liu Yan a little surprised.
But then after thinking about it, Liu Yan was also relieved, nearly 200,000 elite troops and thousands of artillery pieces of all kinds attacked for several days, even if the defenders were heavenly soldiers and generals, they should become the end of the strong crossbow, and today's attack was the last straw that crushed the fourth line of defense.
In front, Wang Bo, the chief officer of the Fourth Army of the National Defense Army, looked at the front under the protection of a large number of guards, and saw that the battle flag of Lai Mubu, the prince of Su, was still planted on the fourth line of defense, and then pointed at the battle flag with his war knife, and said loudly and angrily: "Order Wang Rao, the general of the left battalion, to lead his troops to pull out the flag!" ”
"Yes."
Soon, Wang Rao, the general of the left battalion, received an order, mobilized a sentry to kill towards Lai Mubu's battle flag, along the way there are some Manchurian blue flag soldiers and horses are still holding on, almost all of them are the elite of the Baya soldiers and vests in the flag, these elites of the Qing army are all like crazy, from all directions to block the attack of the Ming army, the two elites are fighting around Lai Mubu's Prince Su Daxu.
Rumble!
A Ming army thrower was surrounded by three Manchurian Zhenglan Banner Baya soldiers, and in a hurry, he received several wounds, and seeing that he couldn't support it, he resolutely ignited the only remaining earth-shattering thunder on his body.
With a loud bang, the thrower was killed along with the three Manchurian Zhenglan Banner Baya soldiers.
Not far away, several Ming army bird gunners cooperated with each other, killed four Qing soldiers in a row, and then became a thorn in the eye of the surrounding Qing army, the surrounding Qing soldiers have killed over, those Ming army bird gunners are not afraid, all with their backs to their comrades, facing outward, and then they suddenly opened fire, rushing to the front of the Qing army was suddenly hit, several people screamed and fell to the ground.
Then several Ming soldiers roared angrily and stabbed with their spears, almost fighting with the surrounding Qing troops in exchange for their lives, and in a blink of an eye several soldiers fell in a pool of blood, but these soldiers killed at least twice as many Tartar soldiers as themselves before they were martyred.
At this time, in front, a Ming army led dozens of soldiers to charge in formation, has rushed to the west gate of Shenyang City, at this time the Qing army artillery fire on the city wall due to the problem of dead ends, can not hit here at all, so several soldiers are ready to use the earth-shaking thunder, the city gate hole in the various road blocking materials to blow up, for the army to break into the city to open the way.
But this Qian Zong thought too easily, and Lai Mubu, the prince of Su, also led more than 200 Manchurian Zhenglan Banner troops to retreat nearby, and suddenly found this group of Ming soldiers, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly led his troops to surround and kill.
"Kill them!"
Lai Mubu saw that several soldiers of the Ming army had put an unknown amount of earth-shattering thunder into the city gate cave, and lit the fuse, and was so shocked that his braids were cocked, so he shouted loudly, and the Qing soldiers around him were also desperate and rushed forward one after another.
Rumble!!
The earth-shattering thunder in the city gate cave exploded instantly, blowing up a lot of road blockage debris everywhere, but because the Qing army was too dead, it only blew up a small area.
Moreover, Lai Mubu also led his troops to kill, and more than 200 elites of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner directly surrounded the Ming army and dozens of soldiers, and the tragic battle began instantly.
"Kill them!"
Under the protection of several Bayala soldiers, Lai Mubu roared loudly not far away, and the actions of the Ming army really frightened Lai Mubu, so he wanted to kill everyone as soon as possible.
And a group of soldiers of the Ming army also fought to the death, and even in the roar of the thousand households, the soldiers continued to move slowly in the direction of the west city gate. Such a high-spirited fighting spirit and the courage to not be afraid of death made Lai Mubu, who was watching the battle not far away, dumbfounded, and didn't understand why the Ming army had become so brave in just a few years, and even forced the invincible Qing Dynasty to the point of destroying the country and destroying the species.
At this time, the surrounding Ming soldiers had not yet come to support, but more than 200 elite soldiers of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner had already been killed, and most of the dozens of Ming soldiers who were surrounded had been killed or wounded.
Seeing this, Mr. Qian roared angrily: "Heaven-shaking thunder! Fight! ”
The remaining dozen or so Ming soldiers gave up resistance, and instead ignited the earth-shattering thunder they carried, and with a few explosions, the surrounding Qing soldiers were suddenly killed, and the remaining Qing soldiers were dumbfounded: these Ming soldiers actually blew themselves up, and the battle can still be fought like this!
Rumble!
At this time, the remaining Qing troops around them fled, and the only three remaining soldiers of the Ming army also ignited the earth-shaking thunder in their hands, and then roared and rushed into the city gate hole, a huge explosion sounded, and the big stone in the city gate hole was suddenly blown up a lot, but it still did not open the passage of the west city gate of Shenyang.
Lai Mubu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but his heart was full of fear, not because the Ming army had already killed the capital of the Qing Dynasty and killed hundreds of thousands of elite Qing army to the left, nor because the current Qing warriors had no power to fight back when they faced the Ming army.
At this time, Lai Mubu felt frightened, because these Ming soldiers were all fearless of death, for their Ming Dynasty, for the so-called righteousness, they could even kill themselves, which was the most fearful thing for a Tartar prince like Lai Mubu.
The Han people themselves have all kinds of superb skills, profound learning, and desirable arts, occupy the richest and most extensive territory in the world, and have the largest population in the world.
And such a thing has become a reality!
"Lord, what should we do now??"
Lai Mubu clenched his hands tightly, tried to control his slightly trembling hands, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately show the king's great sword, let the defenders at the head of the city put down the hanging basket, and send the king up!" ”
"Huh."
At this time, there were only about 20 Qing soldiers left around Lai Mubu, and everyone was in a panic, at this moment, Lai Mubu was horrified to find that there were few Qing warriors left around, and a large number of Ming soldiers roared and rushed towards him, and the defenders on the city wall were still suppressed by the Ming artillery fire, and no one paid attention to their side at all.
"It's over!"
Lai Mubu wailed in his heart, and then even the two dozen or so soldiers around him dispersed in a hurry, leaving only a daqingsu prince with dull eyes and trembling eyes.
"That's the Tartar Officer!"
"Kill him!"
In an instant, at least dozens of Ming soldiers opened fire, directly beating Lai Mubu into a sieve, and a flag commander stepped forward quickly, pulled out his sword and cut off Lai Mubu's bloody head, and then beckoned his subordinates to rush away and continue to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Qing soldiers.
At this time, Liu Yan was in the Chinese army, and first received a battle report sent by Zheng Zhilong, and learned that the soldiers of the northern front had taken the fourth line of defense, and Zheng Chenggong captured Dai Shan, and he was immediately overjoyed.
Later, Liu Yan received a battle report from the southern front, and the officers and men of the southern front also captured the fourth line of defense.
After braving the Qing artillery fire to wipe out the remnants of the enemy, the Ming soldiers on the north and south sides immediately withdrew to the third line of defense to avoid greater casualties.
At this time, the artillery fire of several armies in the south and north began to vent on the walls of Shenyang City, making the Qing troops in the city miserable.
Liu Yan was determined that at this rate, he would be able to clear all the defensive lines outside Shenyang in two or three days at the latest, and then he would be able to concentrate his forces to storm the Shenyang city defense.
"One step closer to the destruction of the Manchu Dynasty!"
Just when Liu Yan was secretly happy in his heart, a battle report was also sent from the front of the Western Front: Killing Lai Mubu, the prince of Manchu Qingsu, the officers and men of the army have captured the fourth line of defense, and at present, the officers and men of all armies have finished the clean-up operation and have all withdrawn to the third line of defense.
"Good!!"
At present, there is only the east, and when Li Dingguo's side also wins the fourth line of defense, Liu Yan can launch the final general attack on Shenyang City.
So Liu Yan sent people to the Eastern Front to ask Li Dingguo how the battle was.
At this time on the Eastern Front, Li Dingguo was frowning and looking at the battlefield ahead, the 10th Army of the Wehrmacht was on the main attack, the 9th Army of the Wehrmacht and the 11th Army of the Wehrmacht followed up, and the 12th Army of the Wehrmacht was temporarily stationed in the first line of defense, ready to advance and participate in the battle at any time.
And Li Dingguo's position is within the second line of defense.
In Li Dingguo's clairvoyant mirror, the soldiers of the Ming army on the front line have entered a bitter battle.
The Mongolian white flag and the Manchurian blue flag soldiers and horses that have retreated to the fourth line of defense are making the final desperate resistance, and the artillery on the Shenyang city wall is also firing frantically, and even Li Dingguo saw that a cannon on the city wall was blown up, while the surrounding Qing army artillery was still firing, which shows that the soldiers and horses of the Qing army at this time have gone completely crazy.
"Order the front-line soldiers to advance in a battle to the death, and no one is allowed to take half a step back!"
"Thousands of generals died in battle, guerrilla generals on top, guerrilla generals died in battle, generals on top, generals on top, generals on top, chief officers on top!"
"The Governor stands here with all the soldiers!"
As Li Dingguo's orders were issued step by step, the officers and men of the Ming army on the battlefield on the eastern front suddenly burst out with powerful combat power, and the soldiers and horses of Mongolia with white flags and Manchuria with blue flags stationed in the fourth line of defense in the east were suddenly shocked and embarrassed.
