Chapter 655: The siege is blocked

As the sun set, the artillery fire of the various units of the Ming army stopped one after another, but at this time, the walls of Shenyang City were still strong, and if you wanted to attack the city, you could only use the ladder to attack the city.

Liu Yan considered that at this time, more than 10,000 artillery pieces of the Ming army had been bombarded for a long time, and the Qing army in Shenyang City should have reached the limit at this time, both in terms of strength and will.

So Liu Yan ordered the whole army to launch a battle to test the combat strength of the Qing army at this time, if the resistance of the Qing army was unfavorable, maybe it would be able to enter Shenyang City tonight.

Soon, Liu Yan's offensive order was conveyed, and the Ming troops deployed on all sides advanced one after another, and an entire national defense army was mobilized on each side to attack.

In the past few days, the heavy soldiers of the various departments of the Ming army and the craftsmen accompanying the army have built a considerable number of ladders, as well as a large number of shields and shield carts, in order to provide the most favorable protection and support for the soldiers of the army once the siege war is launched.

At this time, the soldiers of the National Defense Forces had already distributed a large number of ladders, and the dense ladders were carried by the soldiers, and they quickly rushed towards the walls of Shenyang City.

And the Qing artillery deployed on the city wall, the number of guns that can still fire at this time is only more than two hundred, and it has been bombarded for almost a whole day, but the prince of Yu Duoduo, who insisted on the city wall to command the battle, still ordered the cannon, at this time there is no need to take care of the explosion or anything, as long as it can cause damage to the Ming army, as long as it can block the attack of the Ming army, it must be all displayed, as for what the consequences are, it is not within the scope of Duoduo's consideration.

Rumble!

The artillery shells of the Qing army continued to fall in the military formations of the various departments of the Ming army, causing some casualties to the officers and soldiers of the Ming army, and even the shells directly hit the ladder in advance, and immediately destroyed the ladder made by the craftsmen of the Ming army, and the surrounding Ming soldiers were hit by flying sawdust and debris, and suddenly caused secondary damage to the soldiers of the Ming army.

Then the artillery of the Ming army also opened fire again, this time not only a large number of Hongyi cannons and Francophone cannons hit the fire bombardment of the city wall, but also the artillery vehicles equipped by each department also quickly advanced to the area of the fourth line of defense, aimed at the head of the city and began to fire a salvo, risking the risk of accidentally injuring their own soldiers, causing casualties to the Qing army to the greatest extent.

"Get through quickly!"

In the north of Shenyang City, the officers and men of the 15th Army of the National Defense Army carried ladders, pushed shield carts, and held shields, and rushed all the way to the city wall.

At the forefront of the 15th Army of the Wehrmacht, there were 2,000 and hundreds of white slave heavy armor soldiers.

This is a siege war, the main melee weapons equipped by the officers and men of the National Defense Army are bayonets, when climbing the city wall and fighting hand-to-hand with the Qing army, the bayonets of the Ming army officers are mainly stabbed, and they will suffer a loss, so Zheng Chenggong put more than 2,000 white slave heavy armor soldiers in front and used them as assault troops.

"Rush up and get the reward first!"

Zheng Chenggong roared loudly, two thousand hundreds of white slave heavy armor soldiers had rushed to the city, at this time at least more than 30 ladders had been erected, a large number of Ming soldiers held shields, roared and began to climb the ladders, and many Ming soldiers raised their birds under the city and began to shoot at the head of the city, suppressing the Qing soldiers and horses on the head of the city.

At this time, stones and sassalwoods fell from the city wall, and a large number of arrows and dense lead bullets were also shot down from the city, causing great casualties to the Ming soldiers who were climbing the city wall.

Especially the smashing of rolling stones and sasswoods, the shields and shield carts of the Ming soldiers are difficult to effectively defend, and often a stone and a piece of sassa can hit several, or even a dozen Ming soldiers.

On the other hand, the firepower of the Ming soldiers under the city wall also caused huge casualties to the Qing army, and almost all the Qing soldiers who came forward to counterattack the city would be hit nine times out of ten, either screaming and falling under the city, or collapsing on the city wall.

Soon, two thousand and hundreds of white slave heavy armor soldiers had already begun to enter the city.

In this era, the physical fitness of the Western hundred people is actually not stronger than that of the Han people, whether it is height or physical fitness, the Han people have an advantage on the whole, and the physique of the Westerners is inferior to the Han people.

After more than 200 years of poison in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the people of China, most of whom are Han people, are almost struggling on the line of food and clothing, and even on the line of death.

The reason why the 2,000 and hundreds of white slave heavy armor soldiers of the 15th Army of the National Defense Army are tall and large is because when Zheng Zhilong formed this army, the strength of the troops was strictly selected, and they were all selected from the white slaves sold with the best physical fitness, which was the result of selecting the best of the best.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong, under the protection of thousands of iron man troops, stopped and watched the battle at a distance of hundreds of steps from Shenyang Beichengqiang, and there were many shield vehicles deployed in front of him as protection.

Zheng Chenggong raised a clairvoyant mirror to watch the battle, only to see that hundreds of white slave heavy armor soldiers had already climbed the city wall and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army.

In the rest of the places, there were also many Ming soldiers who climbed the city wall, and the fierce battle was very fierce.

On the side of the Qing army, they also mobilized a large number of elite soldiers such as Bayala soldiers and horse armor soldiers, and used their numerical advantage to continuously resist.

On the whole, the situation of the Ming army is still very difficult, and the Qing army's will to fight is still very tenacious until now, which makes Zheng Chenggong very different.

On the north city wall, Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Niekesai roared loudly, and a tiger spear in his hand continued to stab, killing three white slave heavy armor soldiers one after another. However, when Nexus was about to stab the fourth white slave heavy armor soldier again, he was blocked by the bearded strong man who was nearly 1.9 meters old with a battle axe.

The white slave man was almost two sizes older than Nexus, and with the heavy armor on his body, he escaped a huge humanoid war bear and roared angrily at Nexus.

A Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Baya soldier next to him wanted to block it, but was split by a white slave strong man with an axe, and the whole population vomited blood and flew out, and flew out of the wall directly from a gap in the arrow stack and fell.

Seeing this, Nie Kesai couldn't help but be shocked, and sighed where the Ming army recruited these barbarians, but he didn't think that he was actually a barbarian.

"Kill!"

Nexus met again, the tiger spear in his hand kept stabbing and hurting the white slave strong man several times by using his speed advantage, causing him to roar continuously, and the battle axe in his hand also kept chopping over, almost hitting Nexai several times.

"Die!!"

Suddenly, Nie Kesai saw that the white slave strong man cut down with an axe, which happened to be embedded in a brick crack, so he saw the opportunity and rushed forward, and a shot pierced the white slave strong man's abdomen, and the head of the gun came out directly through the body, and the heavy armor couldn't even block this shot!

Almost with all his strength, Nexai looked at the wide-eyed white slave heavy armor and smiled.

But the next moment, Nie Kesai was horrified to find that the white slave strong man actually grabbed the tiger gun, and then pulled it out violently, let the blood gush out, strode forward, and punched Nie Kesai in the face.

The punch was very heavy, Nexai was like a broken sack, flying out a few steps away, falling heavily to the ground, blood flowing out of his mouth, nose, and even eyes, lying on the ground and constantly writhing, like a half-dead big meat worm, but he couldn't get up.

And the white slave strong man also knelt on the ground with a thud at this time, and his head was lowered and he lost his breath.

Nie Kesai worked hard for a long time, but he was never able to stand up, so he had to shout a few times weakly, fortunately, there were more and more Qing troops around, and several Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner vests rushed over, and carried Nie Kesai up with all hands and feet, and hurriedly transported him to the city for treatment.

At the same time, the battle on the north city wall became more and more intense, two thousand hundreds of white slave heavy armor soldiers had suffered heavy casualties at this time, at least hundreds of people were knocked down by the Qing army, and one or two hundred corpses were left on the city wall, but these white slave heavy armor soldiers still went forward to climb the city wall one after another, and swore a bloody battle with the Qing army.

This is not because of how loyal these white slaves are to the Ming Dynasty, but because the surrounding Ming soldiers are more courageous, and they can almost be described as "dying without looking back", all of them are determined to die and charge the walls of Shenyang City.

In such an environment, the white slave heavy armor soldiers who have been with the officers and men of the 15th Army of the National Defense Army for a long time will naturally not stay out of the matter, these Ming soldiers did not treat them as slaves, but as comrades, and even the white slave heavy armor soldiers are paid, but less than the Ming army officers and soldiers.

Another reason is that before Zheng Chenggong ordered the attack, he promised these white slave heavy armor soldiers that as long as they could take Shenyang City, they would give everyone freedom.

These white slaves were willing to stay in the Ming army, and could give them official Ming army status, and if they were unwilling to stay, they were given severance pay and sent to Ho Jing O, where they were allowed to board the ships of the Westerners and leave the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of such encouragement and reasons that these white slave heavy armor soldiers burst out with strong combat effectiveness, even if almost all the companions in front of them were killed, the white slave heavy armor soldiers behind were still moving forward bravely.

The fierce battle lasted for another hour, and the light was already very dim at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the walls of Shenyang City, so that hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of the Ming army and Qing army who were fighting were dressed in a golden "armor".

At this time, there were few white slave heavy armor soldiers left, and the last hundreds of people all boarded the city wall, but then they were surrounded by thousands of elite Qing army regiments, and all of them were blocked on the side of the arrow battlements of the city wall. There were also hundreds of Qing archers who fired arrows in the back, constantly shooting and killing the white slave heavy armor soldiers in the encirclement.

In other places, the soldiers of the Ming army are also fighting bravely, and a large number of soldiers of the Ming army rushed over to this side, wanting to rescue these white slave heavy armor soldiers, but at this time the Qing army is still very tenacious, after all, the two yellow flags of Manchu and the two white flags of Manchu are the elite of the Qing army, and this battle is the last battle for the Manchu Dynasty, so the Qing army is stubbornly resisting.

In the encirclement, hundreds of white slave heavy armor soldiers cursed angrily in various languages, and at this time everyone knew that they could not retreat, and they could only fight to the death.

And the surrounding Qing army also scolded loudly in Manchu, both sides used all kinds of vicious words, with all kinds of ruthless means to attack each other, in the small encirclement, a large number of soldiers fell and died every moment, and soon piled up a half-man-high pile of corpses on the city wall!

Under such a battle, hundreds of white slave heavy armor soldiers were finally killed, and at least half of the 1,000 Qing elites also fell.

Outside the city, Zheng Chenggong held a clairvoyant mirror and witnessed the annihilation of more than 2,000 white slave heavy armor soldiers almost the whole process, at this time his eyes had become red, and he gritted his teeth and ordered the whole army to light torches and continue to fight at night, fighting to the death with the Qing army.

But at this moment, a military order came from the rear: the whole army retreated!!

Zheng Chenggong's eyes widened, full of unwillingness, and the hatred in his heart was difficult to vent, but now the military order was like a mountain, and he was entangled for a long time, and finally roared angrily: "Order all departments, retreat immediately!" ”

As the horn of retreat sounded, the soldiers of the Ming army on the city wall pushed to the side of the arrow battlement, alternately covering the retreat from the ladders everywhere. The soldiers of the Ming army under the city also began to shoot frantically upwards, covering the retreat of their comrades.

However, there were still a small number of Ming soldiers who were surrounded by the Qing army, and these soldiers saw that they could not withdraw, so they turned around and continued to fight.

Either ignited the earth-shattering thunder and died with the Qing army, or died in battle, and none of the Ming soldiers surrendered.

When the last Ming soldier withdrew, a burst of enthusiastic cheers broke out on the city wall of Shenyang, which was the cheers of the Qing army, celebrating the repulsion of the all-out attack of the Ming army.

Zheng Chenggong glared at the head of the city, and he also knew in his heart that the real fierce battle against Shenyang City had actually just begun!!
