Chapter 661: Bloody Battle Breakthrough

Because the food and grass in Shenyang City was about to run out, Dolgon, Duoduo, and Ying Erdai almost stayed awake all night, even if they couldn't think of any feasible way, the three of them still gathered in the Chongzheng Palace, it seemed that only in this way would the hearts of the three of them be at peace.

In the early morning of the next day, it was the sixteenth day of the Ming army's siege of Shenyang.

As for time, the Qing army has no concept anymore, just one day at a time, as long as Shenyang City has not been broken by the Ming army, it will continue to be consumed until the moment of death.

At this time, Manchurian Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Murcha tiredly inspected the north city wall, and the dozen or so Manchurian Yellow Flag Baya soldiers followed behind him were also the same as Murcha, they were all very tired, everyone was hungry and tired, and they had almost not closed their eyes for a day and a night.

The soldiers and horses in the city became more and more restless, which gave Murcha a sense of despair that the building was about to collapse, and even if he walked on the city wall to inspect at this time, he didn't have the heart to see anything, but walked forward in a daze.

Suddenly, Murcha felt that the city wall under his feet was shaking slightly, and Murcha looked around in horror, only to see that the Qing soldiers around him also woke up one after another, and they were all looking in horror, not knowing what was going on.

Just in front of Murcha, a large part of the city wall that had collapsed by the Ming artillery bombardment began to loosen, and then a large piece of rammed earth began to fall, and the scope of the collapse became larger and larger, and soon spread to all parts of the surrounding area.

This section of the city wall began to collapse on its own without being attacked, leaving Murcha and the surrounding Qing soldiers in disbelief.

At the same time, there were several city walls on the other three sides of Shenyang City that began to collapse on their own, and even many Qing soldiers thought that the Ming army sent a small group of soldiers and horses to do the ghosts, and they all went crazy and shot arrows and shots.

In fact, what these Qing soldiers didn't know was that there was not a single Ming soldier outside the city at this time, and the collapse of the Shenyang city wall was not the work of the Ming army.

The bombardment of more than 10,000 artillery pieces of various types by the Ming army for more than ten days not only bombarded the surface of the Shenyang city wall to a thousand holes and was broken, but also bombarded the four city walls into "serious injuries", especially those areas that were bombarded by the Ming army's artillery, in fact, there were cracks and fractures all over the rammed earth and wall tiles.

At this time, these places that collapsed on their own were actually hard to return, and the walls of these sections could no longer support themselves and began to disintegrate on their own!

"Alert!"

Murcha roared loudly at this moment, regardless of whether the collapse in front of him was done by the Ming army, after the collapse of this city wall, in a large area of dust and exclamations, a huge gap of more than ten steps wide has appeared in the north wall of Shenyang City, which can not be repaired in a short time, and the Ming army will soon find out here, and must be deployed around the perimeter as soon as possible, otherwise Shenyang City will fall today!

"Woo~woo!"

As the horn of the Qing army sounded, the whole city of Shenyang was in an uproar, and the Qing troops everywhere began to assemble nervously, and a large number of soldiers of the two yellow flags of Manzhou and the two white flags of Manchukuo rushed towards the gaps in the city walls, and began to deploy defense lines in the adjacent streets and alleys of the city, preparing to start street battles with the Ming army.

Although the Qing army was already hungry and tired, but the hatred of the Ming army in their hearts became stronger and stronger, at this time, seeing that the city was very likely to be broken through by the Ming army, almost all the Qing soldiers aroused a huge fighting spirit, which was also the last madness of the Qing army.

When Dorgon and Dorgon received the news, they were also shocked, and Dorgon immediately asked for an order to rush to the west wall of Shenyang City to supervise the battle, according to the report, there were two gaps in the west wall, and the form was the most critical.

At this time, Ying Erdai also rushed to the Chongzheng Palace, and Dolgon directly ordered him to prepare a large amount of fire oil, gunpowder and other ignition materials, and deploy them inside and outside the Chongzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty!"

Facing the Ying Ordai who knelt down and cried, Dolgon just said coldly: "I am the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!" If the city is broken today, I must not be captured alive by Liu Yan! ”

At the same time, Liu Yan also received an urgent report from the front line that he did not collect at night, and learned that the Shenyang city wall had collapsed on its own in many places, and the shock in his heart was beyond measure, and he immediately ordered the whole army to start the final attack on Shenyang City in accordance with the strategy deployed in advance.

"Order all armies to invest their military strength at any cost, according to the strategy, and take Shenyang City!"

"Yes!"

In the north of Shenyang City, Zheng Zhilong and the commanders, deputy commanders, and staff generals of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th armies of the National Defense Army all began to assemble troops and horses.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong was wearing armor, looking excitedly at the Shenyang city wall in front of him, only to see a gap more than ten steps wide suddenly appeared, raising a clairvoyant mirror to observe, Zheng Zhilong could even see the Qing soldiers running in panic near the city wall.

"Order Zheng Chenggong, the chief officer of the 15th Army of the National Defense Army, to immediately lead his troops to attack the gap in the city wall!"

"Order the 13th Army of the National Defense Army to go out and attack all parts of the northern city wall, contain the Qing troops in the city, and cover the officers and men of the 15th Army to enter the city."

"Order the 14th Army and the 16th Army of the National Defense Force to stand by and prepare to rush into Shenyang City in echelons!"

The fifteenth army of the national defense army led by Zheng Chenggong is stronger, although at this time the black slave fire gun team and the white slave heavy armor have been wiped out one after another, but Zheng Chenggong still has 5,000 iron man troops in his hands, this elite melee ability is more outstanding than the ordinary Ming army soldiers, after all, the iron man army is an elite unit based on close combat.

At this time, the Ming army in the north received the order and immediately began to rush towards Shenyang City, Zheng Chenggong personally led the 5,000 Iron Man Army to take the lead, and in front of the 5,000 Iron Man Army, there were hundreds of throwers, these people were the blades of the entire army, responsible for blowing up the Qing soldiers and horses blocking the front with earth-shaking thunder.

Rumble!!

Soon, more than 100,000 Ming troops in the north of Shenyang City launched a general attack, and hundreds of throwers of the 15th Army of the National Defense Army began to throw earth-shaking thunder near the gap, and a large number of bird gunners opened fire in the rear to suppress the Qing archers and firecrackers on the city.

The explosions continued near the gap, and before the Qing army in the city could establish a solid defensive line, it was blown up by the earth-shattering thunder of the Ming army, and it was impossible to build a defensive line that was enough to block the Ming army.

So a large number of Qing troops began to rush out along the gap, some of the unprepared throwers were soon overwhelmed by the Qing army, Zheng Chenggong was furious when he saw this, and directly led the 5,000 Iron Man Army to go up, and the two sides started a bloody battle at the gap.

At this time, the gap in the city wall was crowded, and in this small space, there was no battle formation between the two sides, and everyone mixed together and slashed each other.

In the rear, the 15th Army of the Wehrmacht launched a confrontation with the Qing army on the city wall, at this time the two sides were no longer looking for cover, and they were all shooting frantically, just to see which side had more firepower and which side shot the enemy first!!

Zheng Chenggong was escorted by dozens of elites, crowded in the crowd, front and back were full of roars, screams and scolding, at this time Zheng Chenggong's head was a little drowsy, and his body was also a mechanical slash, following the surrounding Iron Man soldiers to move forward slowly, not knowing what fear was, nor knowing what pain was, all he thought about in his mind was to kill it and take Shenyang City!

"Kill!"

Zheng Chenggong roared loudly, his voice was hoarse at this time, and the surrounding Iron Man soldiers were all red-eyed, many people were injured, and many Iron Man soldiers had fallen, but there were more and more soldiers and horses in the Qing army, and they were all vests of the two yellow flags of Manchuria, the two white flags of Manchuria, and the soldiers of Baya, and the last was also a foot armor.

"Give me death!"

Zheng Chenggong hacked a vest to death with a knife, and then saw the Manchurian Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Murcha who was fighting in front of him, and Murcha at this time was also extremely brave, and he actually killed three Iron Man soldiers one after another, and one was fighting to the death with two Iron Man soldiers.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong also noticed that from the section of the city wall on both sides of this gap, a large number of Qing troops were throwing stones, wood, and fire pots downward, and the Qing army was firing arrows and shooting.

This seems to be an opportunity to open the city wall, at this time, due to the Qing army's soldiers and horses to the death, has become an "ambush" for the Ming army soldiers, the casualties of the Iron Man Army soldiers increased sharply, but the speed of the soldiers was very slow, after a period of fighting, they only advanced a few steps!

Zheng Chenggong roared angrily: "Tiger Venerable Cannon! Push the Tiger Cannon up!! ”

Then Zheng Chenggong ordered the Iron Man Army to start retreating, all of them withdrew from this gap in the city wall, and prepared to use the Huzun cannon to directly bombard the Qing soldiers defending the gap at close range.

However, at this time, the soldiers and horses of the Ming army and the Qing army had been completely mixed together, and neither side could withdraw, Zheng Chenggong's order became an ornament, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were still fighting to the death.

Half an hour later, most of the 5,000 Iron Man Army suffered casualties, more than 3,000 soldiers fell near the gap in the city wall, and the Qing army also paid the price of more than 2,000 elite armor soldiers. Both sides have suffered so many casualties here that the gap in the wall has been raised by thousands of corpses, more than one person higher than before the battle, forming a huge slope made of corpses!

At this time, Zheng Chenggong was rescued by his subordinates covered in blood, and more than a thousand surviving Iron Man soldiers also withdrew.

But the soldiers of the Ming army did not retreat, but more soldiers roared and rushed forward, and collided with the Qing army that rushed to support again, and a new round of cruel fighting began!

Zheng Chenggong was saddened by the huge casualties of the officers and men of the Iron Man Army, and at this time he had lost his mind a little, looking at the dozens of Tiger Venerable cannons that had been pushed to the front, and roared loudly: "Why don't you open the cannons?" Open fire! ”

Deputy Chief Soldier Zheng Zhihu hurriedly came, grabbed Zheng Chenggong, pointed to the battlefield in front of him, and reprimanded loudly; "You open your eyes and see, how many soldiers' bodies are over there, how to fire? How can you fire! ”

Zheng Chenggong glared angrily ahead, unable to say a word at this time.

Zheng Zhihu said loudly: "You are here to command, now I will lead the troops to charge, if I die, you will kill me again to avenge me!" ”

After speaking, Zheng Zhihu led more than 3,000 bird-swordsmen from various departments of the 15th Army of the National Defense Army, which had been assembled, to charge again towards the gap in the city wall that was being studied.

"Kill the Tartars!!"

"Take Shenyang City!"

"Rush up and kill them all!"

At this time, on all sides of Shenyang City, hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers have been killed, and the Qing army in the city is also completely crazy, the two sides around the gaps in the city, launched the final battle, for a time the blood flowed into a river, the whole Shenyang City seemed to be soaked in the endless sea of blood!
