Chapter 306 On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Shenyang was bloodied and flowed into a river on December 28, the second year of Chongzhen, more than 7,000 elite infantry cavalry of the Dongjiang Army, and more than 13,000 soldiers and civilians accompanying them, united with more than 2,000 people including the Haixi Jurchen Pearl Sheli and the Huifa Department, totaling 22,000 people, falsely claiming 50,000, and besieged Shenyang City.At this time, Shenyang City, has not gone through the expansion of Houjin, is still Ming Shenyang City, nine miles and thirty steps, the city wall is two feet and five feet high, the outer wall of the city wall is built with big blue bricks, and the inner wall is a stone foundation earth wall.In the four city walls, there are four cave gates in the east, west, north and south, and there are city towers and urn cities respectively.The east gate is called Yongchang Gate, the west gate is called Yongning Gate, the south gate is called the Security Gate, and the north gate is called Anding Gate.Shenyang City is undoubtedly the largest city owned by Houjin, but the scale of this city is not as good as Zunhua, Mao Wenlong did not immediately attack the city, but ordered to follow the army and civilians, around the four gates of Shenyang City, built a chest-high ice wall, each ice wall starts along the road out of the city, more than 200 steps each, forming a trench, and also cut down the woods, make various obstacles such as rejecting horses, deer firewood, etc., to prevent the elite of the city Houjin from taking advantage of the chaos during the siege to break through the city.At the invitation of the Haixi Jurchen Pearl Sheli Division, the Huifa Division, and other tribes, on the 29th and 30th, another Mo about 4500 horsemen arrived in Shenyang.December 30, Chinese New Year's Eve.Mao Wenlong was outside the security gate of Shenyang City, set up a point platform, set up a camp, he stared at Shenyang City like an eagle falcon and said: "Everyone, let's follow the rules, Shenyang City is broken, this commander only takes a part of the grain, and the property, Dingkou, women and children are all owned by the leaders of each department. ”The leader of the Huifa Clan, Huifa Nala Clan, stretched out his hand and held the wine bag in his hand and said, "Can you change the wine?"
”"You can ......"
Mao Wenlong pointed to the wine jar on the table and said: "I didn't bring much wine and salt, you can bring the head and go to Phi Island in person, grain, salt, wine, tea, including steel, whatever you want, you can change it, even if you want the fine skin and tender meat of North Korea, there is no problem!"
”Ye Hexiongqi behind Na Yan stared at the South City Tower of Shenyang City in the distance, and Gao Dun covered the courtyard of the South City Tower, so that they could not see the movement in the South City Tower outside the city."
Mao Dashuai, I have to say, you say it nicely, but although we have a lot of people, Shenyang is surrounded by Jianzhou Jurchen tribes, they will definitely come to the aid of Shenyang City when they receive the news, can we break through Shenyang City?"
Seriously speculate on the strategy that Lin Tie might adopt to defend the city.In Ye Hexiongqi's view, although Mao Wenlong successfully arrived in Shenyang, he may not be able to capture Shenyang.If there is no meticulous work, for a vertical city like Shenyang, the possibility of taking it down is too small, the weather is cold now, it is easy to defend the city, and it is very difficult to attack the city.back then.In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, the son of Yehebel Jintaishi led the army to attack the Houjin under the rule of Nurhachi, and he Yehe Xiongqi was also a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and stormed Jianning Fort, and besieged the defeated army of Jianzhou that fled into Ningjin Fort in a hurry with ten times the force, and did not take it down for a month, and had to withdraw from the siege.After several defeats, Yehebu was conquered by the Houjin.Now when he thinks of the siege battle, he has some lingering palpitations.It's just that Mao Wenlong smiled lightly: "If you are not sure to conquer Shenyang City, why should Ben Shuai come to Shenyang far away, and stay on Phi Island to drink wine and eat meat, wouldn't it be happy!"
”Mao Wenlong said easily, and Ye Hexiongqi sighed slightly.Mao Wenlong smiled: "You don't believe it?
Then wait, my Dongjiang warriors will break the city for you to see!
”In fact, the remnants of the Haixi Jurchen tribes who followed Mao Wenlong did not want to be dogs for Huang Taiji, and they had been defeated by Houjin many times, but they were just surviving.I'm afraid that Mao Wenlong will use them as cannon fodder to consume the defenders' arrows and rolling stones."
Yongshi!"
Kong Youde bowed down and said, "Handsome!
”【Reading Welfare】Pay attention to the official account [】Read books every day and draw cash/coins!"
Pull our cannons up and look at those high shields on the South Gate City?
If this commander is not bad, the commander-in-chief of the Shenyang garrison is there, and I will knock them down!
”"Dashuai, just look at it!"
Kong Youde is a miner by training, good at explosives, and is also proficient in firearms.Mao Wenlong was originally a lieutenant under Li Chengliang, and he was also good at using firearms.This time, the Dongjiang Army sent troops to Shenyang City, 7,000 elites, in addition to 3,000 cavalry, 3,000 firecracker troops, 1,000 artillery, only 105 field artillery as many as 62 pieces, although not as sharp as the artillery of the whole family army, but they are different from the whole family army, the whole family army is a new soldier, they are all veterans of playing artillery.As the artilleryman began to adjust the firing angle, the artilleryman quickly stuffed the fired gunpowder into the barrel, installed the fuse, and at the same time put in the shell, and plugged it firmly.With the sound of a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, sixty-two 105 field cannons began to fire shells at Shenyang City.Black shells flew towards the walls of Shenyang City, and some shells landed inside the city.When the shells were still flying in the air, hundreds of Dongjiang Army infantrymen held large shields that were urgently prepared, some of which were cart carriages, and some were coffin boards, and these Dongjiang Army soldiers hid behind the big shields and approached the south gate of Shenyang.This is the Dongjiang Army's infantry and artillery coordination, as early as when the whole family army was still exploring the coordination of infantry and artillery, the Dongjiang Army had already turned the infantry and artillery coordination into actual combat.The "Boom ......" cannonballs set off gusts of wind on the walls of Shenyang City, blowing up the Houjin soldiers defending the city to flesh and blood, screaming again and again.The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army in Nancheng, who were directly attacking, pushed a cart with a coffin on it.To some extent, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army are still instructors of the whole family army, and of course, when they train the soldiers of the whole family army, they also learn a certain amount of knowledge from Quan Xu.For example, Quan Xu once told them that using a coffin to fill gunpowder can blow up the city wall, which is not without purpose, this is the method used by the Taiping army when attacking Nanjing City during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.The prerequisite is that the defenders on the city walls must be suppressed, otherwise there will be a large number of casualties at all.The Dongjiang Army did a very good job in this regard, they used artillery as a long-range support weapon, and after the first round of shelling, they began to quickly adjust the firing boundary, using the city walls as the main target.In front of artillery, any shields and armor were ineffective, and the Houjin army on the city wall suffered a large number of casualties, let alone counterattack, they simply had no way to raise their heads.Finally, under the cover of gusts of gunsmoke, hundreds of soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, after paying dozens of casualties, arrived under the city wall, and they quickly used large shields to stand up, forming cave houses, using chisels and crowbars, and began to dig the roots of the city wall.If you want to dig down a wall three feet thick, the amount of work is very large, and if you just dig a hole that can fit into a coffin, it will not be very difficult.In just a quarter of an hour, the city wall finally reacted, countless Houjin Shoucheng soldiers, holding bows and arrows to shoot under the city wall, some Dongjiang Town soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, most of the Dongjiang soldiers were safe and sound.The Houjin people attach great importance to their ancestors, buried in the ancestral tomb outside Shenyang, the coffin is made of thick materials, and the bow and arrow are shot on the official material.It's just that their luck ended here, a dozen or so defenders who had not yet thrown down the boulder had a cannonball that blew people on their backs, making them realize what it means to lift a stone and hit themselves in the foot."
Chiefs, let your archers take cover!""
Well said, well said!"
As the horn sounded, more than 3,000 of these Haixi Jurchens rode their horses.Located at the southern gate of Shenyang City, the blood-faced general Samushka roared angrily: "It's a Haixi mongrel!"
”"When the Great Khan returns, he will not let them go!"
The first-class chief military officer, Alami, said grimly.As the saying goes, a dog that barks doesn't bite, and a dog that bites doesn't bark.These remnants of the Haixi Jurchens were able to escape the pursuit of the elite of Houjin, which was naturally outstanding, and their riding and archery skills were very good, and their archery skills were fast and tricky.As the rain of arrows poured towards the city of Shenyang like a raging storm, the Houjin soldiers who defended the city could only hide behind the battlements and grit their teeth and hold on.Under the cover of the Haixi Jurchens, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army who participated in the attack finally completed the task of placing gunpowder half an hour later, and in order to blow up the city wall at one time, the black powder of four coffins was placed at the foot of the city wall.The long fuse was lit, and the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army ran towards their own formation.Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming each brought 800 Pu Daomen, ready to move.An earth-shattering roar rang out, and a huge fireball rose into the air.Tens of thousands of war horses were blown away by the huge explosion, and dozens of Haixi Jurchen cavalry were overturned on the war horses "Mao Shuai, you ......"
Na Yan was about to say what Mao Wenlong was doing, his war horses were scared away more than a hundred horses, and more than a dozen people died, but in his sight, a gap of thirty or forty zhang appeared in the south gate of Shenyang City, forming a gentle slope."
Kill the Tartars!""
Kill the Tartars!"
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming took the lead and rushed towards Shenyang City.Ye Hexiongqi looked at the Dongjiang Army soldiers who rushed to Shenyang City in a daze: "Shen ......
Shenyang City ......
Broken?
”"It's broken!"
Mao Wenlong looked at Na Yan coldly: "Na Yan, what are you still doing in a daze?"
Your revenge is not avenged?
”Na Yan reacted: "The warriors of the Huifa Nala family, follow the master!"
”"Don't be cowardly from the Ye He family!"
On December 30 of the second year of Chongzhen, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the city of Shenyang was in flames and blood flowed like a river.PS: Today's weekend, take a break, and two shifts today!
Excuse me!
