On the fifteenth day of the attack on Shenyang, the first, third, and fourth detachments of the Beiyang Fleet successively sent a large number of ammunition, so that the Ming army's "demolition tactics" could continue to be implemented.

Since the early morning of this day, more than 10,000 artillery pieces of the Ming army have begun to roar, and the collapsed city walls of Shenyang City have once again become "the target of the public", bombarded by dense large and small shells, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers, there are constantly bricks and stones, and even rammed earth blocks fall off from the city wall, and the city walls of Shenyang City are disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And with the continuation of the Ming army's artillery fire, and the continuous shelling of the Shenyang city wall for more than ten days, the speed of the city wall collapse is developing faster and faster, and the scope is getting bigger and bigger, which makes Liu Yan's heart feel a lot more steady, and then he began to plan to enter the city to fight, and some things must be arranged in advance.

The Ming army had 16 national defense armies and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and once the city of Shenyang was breached, it was impossible for all of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to pour into the city.

As long as the walls of Shenyang City were broken through, the soldiers and horses of the Ming army on all sides would enter the city one by one, and the armies on all sides would invest troops at the same time, and gradually expand to the interior of Shenyang City.

Of course, the specific details of the strategy still need to be refined, and Liu Yan also found Chen Xun, Zhang Yi, Wang Yue, and Wang Bo and took a closer look at them together.

At the same time, just when Liu Yan had already begun to draw up a strategy for entering the city, the Qing army units in Shenyang fell into panic.

Every time the city wall of Shenyang collapsed, the Qing army in the city panicked, which meant that the time to break the city was closer.

At this time, tens of thousands of remnants of the Manchurian two yellow flags and Manchurian two white flags in the city have lost their spirit of the past, and now the Qing army in the city is already a group of veritable "beggar soldiers", not only the armor and military uniforms are tattered and dirty, most of the soldiers are muddy, and there is no trace of hope and light in their eyes, and they are completely relying on the instinct of survival to defend the city.

Even the generals at all levels of the Qing army are the same, and even the soldiers who do not listen to the command have appeared in the city, and people are beheaded in public every day.

Under the high pressure of Duoduo and other generals, the Qing army in the city can still maintain operations for the time being, but in this situation, no one knows how long the Qing army can hold out.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and the artillery fire of the Ming army outside the city finally stopped, but the Qing army in the city had already figured out the pattern, this was not that the Ming army was ready to stop, but that the artillery of the Ming army was dissipating heat, and it was time to eat.

When the Ming gunners outside the city were full of food and drink, and the artillery was dissipated, the fierce artillery fire that made the Qing army tremble will roar again.

On the north city wall of Shenyang City, Manchurian inlaid with yellow flag solid mountain Ezhen Murcha was hungry and patrolling on the city wall, at this time on the Ming army artillery array in the distance outside the city, the smoke has risen curlingly, a large number of heavy soldiers of the Ming army and the soldiers and civilians are burying the pot in the distance to make rice, making a large number of grain and all kinds of dried vegetables and dried meat into hot dishes and hot rice.

On the side of the Qing army, there is no smoke rising, and there is no food in the city!

The last time Murcha ate and drank enough was yesterday morning, and the Qing soldiers around him were even more miserable, and the last time he had a full meal was at least two days ago.

The repeated shelling of the Ming army not only made the Shenyang city wall dilapidated, but also destroyed many of the city-defending equipment on the city wall, including a lot of oil pots, gold juice, etc., these things were smashed by cannonballs, and directly let the fire under the utensils burn in all directions.

Several times the overturned oil pot caused fires, and several of the grain depots deployed near the city wall were burned, making the already small grain storage in Shenyang even more embarrassing, and today, the city is directly out of grain!

At this time, Mur looked at the traces of several lines of defense outside the city, and couldn't help but secretly said in distress: "If I knew that there was today, I shouldn't have given so much food to the defenders outside the city before, not to mention the cheap Ming army, but also made the food stocks in the city much less!" ”

Just as he was thinking about it, Murca's stomach began to rumble, and his throat was filled with sour water, hungry!

The Qing soldiers, who had not eaten much for two days and had only been given a share of dry food that children could not eat, were so hungry that their eyes were straight, and almost all of them were leaning or lying down, and everyone was willing to move more, just to save their physical strength and prevent them from fainting from hunger.

But even so, when the fragrance of hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers burying pots and cooking outside the city wafted over, the Qing soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but "twist" and looked out of the city.

Seeing this, Murcha wanted to reprimand angrily, but found that he couldn't say a word, and at this time in the battle, Rao is a solid mountain and a true one, and he didn't dare to be too harsh on these soldiers, otherwise who knows if someone will draw a sword against him?

Suddenly, a Bayala soldier ran over panting and said, "Master Qiqi, there are two white flag soldiers and two yellow flag soldiers fighting near the school field, and the people have been controlled, please go over and deal with it!" ”

Murcha suddenly screamed in his heart, there were soldiers fighting almost every day in the city these days, between the flags, and even between the bulls, for all kinds of reasons, competing for food or supplies, or even just looking at each other unpleasantly.

In the almost desperate city of Shenyang, everyone's nerves are highly tense, and a little friction can make people extremely irritable.

So Murcha hurriedly led people to the school field, only to see that more than 20 people with two white flags in Manchuria were all tied up and gathered in one place, and more than a dozen people from the two yellow flags in Manchuria were gathered in another place, with people hanging colors on both sides, and five soldiers had died, three with two yellow flags and two with two white flags.

Seeing such a situation, Murcha only felt that his scalp was almost exploding, and asked angrily: "What's the matter!" At the time of the war, there was still infighting, did they all want to die! ”

Thirty or forty people on both sides bowed their heads and did not speak, and after repeated inquiries, Murcha learned that it was because of a steamed bun, two Manchurian soldiers with two white flags and a soldier with a yellow flag found a steamed bun almost at the same time, and one was in the dirt on the side of the street, so dirty that it was impossible to see that it was the original steamed bun.

The three Qing soldiers who had not eaten for two days began to scramble, and the soldiers with the yellow flag naturally couldn't grab the two soldiers with the white flags, and after being beaten, they gathered more than a dozen soldiers with two yellow flags to kill them back, and the two soldiers with the two white flags were naturally not to be outdone, and they also gathered a group of people, and the two sides immediately beat up in groups, killing and injuring several people, and the dirty steamed buns had been eaten by the two soldiers with the two white flags.

After listening to the cause and effect, Murcha only felt that he wanted to cry, the dignified Qing warriors had been embarrassed to such an extent, for a steamed bun, dozens of elites could fight!

Murcha then took the people into custody for the time being, and went directly to the palace to report to Dolgon.

This matter involved a dispute between the two yellow flags of Manchuria and the two white flags of Manchuria, and five people died.

At this time, in the Chongzheng Palace, Dolgon and Duoduo also lost a lot of weight, while Yingordai was even thinner and looked very old.

Then the three of them listened to Murcha's report, Dolgon did not speak, Ingordai also frowned, and Dordo said to Murcha in a deep voice: "You go and behead the two white flag soldiers, hang their heads outside the school yard to show the public, and the rest of the flag soldiers all beat the five military sticks to show warning." ”

After saying that, Duoduo looked at Dolgon and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, how about the minions deal with it like this?" ”

After a moment, Dorgon said slowly: "Let it go, everyone, and tell those warriors that their fists and swords should only be directed against the enemy, and not at their own people in the future!" ”

Murcha's heart was relieved, and he immediately took the order, and Duoduo also thanked the two soldiers with two white flags.

Then Dorgon asked Inordai, "How much grain is left in the city?" If this continues, without the Ming army attacking, the warriors of each banner will be in chaos! ”

Yingordai said: "Your Majesty, there are still 6,900 stone of grain stored in the city, and if these grains are supplied normally, they can only last three to four days. ”

"Slaves can only ration all these grains, regardless of their official positions, each person can only be given three taels of grain per day."

When Ying Erdai said this, he was already a little choked: "In this way, the slave estimates that these grains can last for about a month, and at present, it can only be like this!" ”

Dolgon smiled bitterly and said, "Hold on for a month?? Not to mention sticking to the city every day and fighting against the Ming army, even if you lie down all day and do nothing, a capable soldier only eats three taels of food a day, he can't bear it! ”

"If it goes on like this, let alone a month, in ten more days, there will be chaos in the city!"

Ying Erdai immediately knelt on the ground, did not say a word, just kept knocking and crying, which shows that the Minister of the Interior of the Qing Dynasty has nothing to do.

During this time, Ingordai had even sent people to catch all the rats and birds in the city, and unless he really used the corpses of the dead soldiers in the city as food to satisfy his hunger, as Duoduo said, he really couldn't sustain himself.

On the side, Duoduo opened his mouth, and then saw Dolgon with a desperate face, hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Your Majesty, it's better to be"

"I will never!"

Before Dorgor could finish speaking, Dorgon roared angrily, "Even if I die, I will never eat people!" ”

Duoduo knelt directly on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty think twice, only by persevering, the Qing Dynasty will have a glimmer of life, if the Great Qing Dynasty is really dead, then what is the point of Your Majesty still insisting on these?" ”

At this time, Dolgon's face was hideous, his eyes widened at Duoduo, and he wanted to cut Duoduo with a knife, but there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting: "Cannibalism!" Cannibalism! I want to live, I want to keep going! ”

At this time, Ying Erdai, who was next to him, said in an almost desperate voice: "Prince Yu! Even if they cut corpses for food, how many warriors in the city can eat?? Acting like this, I am afraid that not only will it not solve the problem of food and grass shortage, but it will also make the morale of the army collapse, and when the time comes, the warriors of all banners will be stiff, and it will really be impossible to clean up! ”

Duoduo and Dorgon were in a hurry and didn't think of these questions, and they both froze at this time.

In this way, the Qing Dynasty has really reached a dead end, and it can't even eat people to defend the city, what other way can there be?

At this time, there was a look of despair on the faces of Dorgon and Dodor, even when they fled to Longmen Pass, they had never despaired, but today, Dorgon and Dodor were so desperate that they almost cried.

Inordai clasped his head again and said, "Your Majesty!! While there are still a few thousand stone of grain in the city, it is better to gather the elite in the city to take a risk and break through to the north! ”

"Breakout?"

Dorgon and Dodor looked at each other, and both seemed to see hope, but then the hope in their eyes was disillusioned at the same time.

Now that most of the people are full of blood gathered in Shenyang City, even if Dorgon and Duoduo really lead their troops to break out, what can they do? Without enough Manchu people, can the Great Qing Dynasty still be called the Great Qing Kingdom? It's just a small tribe wandering, and the Ming army only needs to continue the pursuit to kill everyone.

Breaking through is just a few days of late death, and there is no point in it!
