The banging gunshots continued to echo in the wilderness, and the cavalry in the Eight Banners cavalry were shot off their horses one by one.
The remaining people's morale was finally completely exhausted and they did not dare to stay in the wild.
They turned their horses and ran towards the city.
The remaining two thousand riders quickly gathered in front of the west city gate, waiting for the city gate to slowly open.
At this time, the Tatars waiting to enter the city heard the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance.
Knowing that it was bad, they quickly tried their best to disperse from each other.
But he didn't panic too much.
They have figured out the pattern of the Ming army's bombardment.
The time interval between each round of bombardment requires less than half a stick of incense.
That is to say, as long as this round of shelling does not hurt him, he can return to the city safely.
After the Ming army's "explosive bombs" dispersed in one's own formation, each shell caused up to two or three casualties.
Then they heard a roar like a thunderbolt coming from mid-air.
The "explosive bomb" launched by the Ming army actually exploded long in advance.
As soon as the thought passed through their minds, thousands of pea-sized lead bullets shot down from the sky like a shower.
More than 2,000 Eight Banners horse soldiers fell off their horses like crops that had been hit by hail.
For a time, the ground in front of the west city gate was filled with corpses of men and horses, wailing Tatars and neighing war horses.
A desolate scene.
The artillerymen of the Guards used shrapnel.
The shells exploded in the air, but the hundreds of built-in shrapnel dispersed and continued to fly towards the target along the general direction of the original trajectory.
The more than 300 surviving people rushed into the open city gate like crazy, everyone seemed to have lost their souls.
The Eight Banners armored soldiers in the city quickly closed the city gate and ordered the coolies to quickly refill the city gate hole with sacks.
After a while, the Ming army once again bombarded the south wall with solid artillery shells.
Finally, two hours later, a section of the southern city wall was blown down, and shrapnel was used to cover the gap.
At this time, the Guards infantry stood up from the grass and rushed towards the gap in a skirmish formation amidst the whistle of the charging sentry.
There was a loud sound of gunfire in the city of Shenyang, and those Tartars who tried to block the car with their arms fell to the bullets and bayonets one by one.
The 1,300 Guards soldiers were divided into six groups and searched back and forth in the city, shooting and stabbing all the Tartars they could see.
One of the troops of 300 men entered the Qing Emperor's palace directly.
Everyone put their rifles on their backs and took out the Colt, which was loaded with ammunition.
Amidst the intensive gunfire, the imperial guards were shot and fell to the ground.
Jierhalang never dreamed that the Ming army could attack the city so quickly.
Otherwise, he should have transferred the clan members out of Shengjing, a city he considered to be the safest.
He led more than 20 internal guards of the Three Banners, surrounded Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, and rushed out, trying to break out of the palace.
They met Xia Yan with more than ten guards.
The guardsmen swarmed forward with their swords drawn, and were all shot to death on the ground by the banging short-gun fire.
The palace was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, and Shunzhi was so frightened that he burst into tears.
Jierhalang's eyes were red, and he suddenly pulled out his waist knife, turned around and slashed at Xiaozhuang, killing her with one blow, probably to avoid the humiliation of her being captured by the Ming army.
Then he rushed towards Xia Yan.
When his blade was still two feet away from Xia Yan, three bayonets had already penetrated his body.
Xia Yan already had a sword in her hand.
The sword flashed and cut off Jilharang's head.
Another soldier grabbed the crying Shunzhi by his collar and lifted him up.
On the streets of Shenyang, the Guards swept through streets and alleys, broke into the residences of Qing princes and important ministers, shot their loyal coats, and cut off their heads with bayonets.
As the sun set in the west, the gunfire gradually became sporadic.
A large number of prisoners were gathered on the central campus of Shenyang City, still in groups and tied together with ropes.
Guardsmen shuttled back and forth on the streets, some holding the heads of important Manchu figures on their bayonets to hand over tasks.

In the afternoon, the guards escorted some captured slaves and beat small gongs, shouting along the street, asking everyone hiding in the house to come out, otherwise they would be killed.
A few sparse bannermen came out of the house one after another and were concentrated and detained.
When the sun set in the west, with the order of a cannon blast, the guards began to take action, setting fire to the houses one by one in different areas.
In the sea of fire, there were bursts of wailing sounds.
From time to time, firemen rushed out and were shot to death in the fire.
The city of Shenyang was filled with flames all night long.
All the densely populated areas were burned to ashes.
For thousands of prisoners, it was still Xia Hua's strategy.
Only the slaves, women and children who had no military merit and had no military merit were spared.
All other bannermen, old and young, were executed.
The screening work took three full days to complete.
There were more than 10,000 criminals to be executed.
Even if they were shot, each Guardsman would need to fire ten shots, which was a waste of time.
However, Xia Yan thought of an efficient way to escort them out of the city and gather them in one place, and then use artillery shrapnel to deal with them, so that they could be left intact.
Amidst the rumbling sound of cannons, the flag soldiers who were waiting to be killed began to understand.
Before they could cry out, shrapnel shells exploded in the air, and the bannermen fell into a pool of blood.
The execution basically went smoothly, but one of the shells was loaded incorrectly and turned into a grenade, which blew up the bodies in a small area to pieces.
Three days later, Dorgon set up a large Chinese army tent five miles away from Star City.
The generals gathered together and were discussing how to siege and defeat Star City.
Among them were Azige and Dodo who had just arrived.
They brought the Hongyi cannon that Dorgon urgently needed.
But at this time, Dorgon also received an urgent report that the Ming army had "plundered" the hinterland of Liao Province for 800 miles.
It only took seven days to travel more than a thousand miles from Shenyang, the "Shengjing", to Tianjin.
After Dorgon read the letter, his eyes were dull and he sat down on the bench.
In the big tent, the generals didn't know what happened and looked at each other in confusion.
"Master, what happened?"
Ning Wanwo asked cautiously.
Dorgon ignored him and suddenly shouted: "Send my military order to withdraw the entire army and return to Shengjing at full speed immediately."
"Age, what happened?"
Azige asked.
"The Ming army attacked our hinterland of Liaohe River.
Gaizhou has been defeated.
The troops are approaching Shengjing."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
They all said to Dorgon: "We will organize our troops and withdraw outside the pass immediately."
Only Fan Wencheng stroked his beard twice, pretending to be incomprehensible and said: "Master, we cannot withdraw our troops so hastily, think about it.
This Ming army may attack from the rear to break the siege of Tianjin."
If it’s my master, don’t do it.”
Dorgon's heart was on fire without saying a word.
He drew out his sword and struck Fan Wencheng on the head, splitting his head in half in one stroke.
After finishing Ning, I was both surprised and happy.
I was surprised that my master was really anxious, and I was happy that Fan Wencheng was dead.
Damn it, I want you to show off here, don't even look at it when he looked at Fan Wencheng's body and said in his heart
