Chapter 182 Reliable Reinforcements

Of course, there are no Mongolian flags.

The main force of the Eight Banners of Mongolia is currently in Shuntian Prefecture. They are the only military force that can be fully trusted besides the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

And their blood connection with the Manchus basically means that they are not particularly likely to instigate rebellion.

The result of the marriage between the powerful class and various ministries cannot be shaken by a letter at the moment.

Even if Shengjing is besieged, now that the Manchus have occupied Shuntian Mansion, their apparent strength has also increased dramatically.

To be honest, Zhu Youjian knew that the only country that could be incited to rebel by this letter was North Korea.

In short, the siege will not change for the time being because of these letters.

The trenches were still advancing gradually under Jiannu's eyes. Even if Jiannu fired cannons, shot at the trenches, and even pulled out catapults and dropped kerosene bombs on the trenches, it was useless.

After two days of bombardment on several towers outside the city, the Qing troops in the towers finally did not dare to make any movement. Each one of them either quietly retreated into Shengjing City, or they were ordered by Azig to hide in the towers.

, just act as a sentry.

The south of the city couldn't wait. Those savages were occupying the towers and fighting with fire cannons. Several unlucky ones had been shot recently. They could only watch the savages digging trenches in front of the city wall.

Watching the Black Flag Army dig trenches outside the city for several days, Azig inside the city became anxious.

Reinforcements are waiting from other directions!

It was an urgent matter in the capital that year. This man was named Dingxibo by Chongzhen and was recruited to serve as King Qin of the capital.

Not to mention that siege trenches were dug from two directions.

Other directions?

You could say he is loyal, a little, but not much.

"A mediocre person, a mediocre person, but he happens to be the most troublesome person to deal with at the moment."

Tang Tong directly withdrew from Shengjing with his 5,000 men and stationed in the west of the city.

And he was also the first and only one among the several lords with military power who had high hopes from Chongzhen to respond and arrive in the capital.

After the artillery in the tower stopped, the Black Flag Army's artillery began to fire at the Shengjing city wall.

Subsequently, Azig quickly took control of the 20,000 green battalion soldiers under his command, and took control of 15,000 soldiers.

It is estimated that when he was recounting his achievements at the end of the year, the Qing Dynasty judged him as "Although he surrendered to the dynasty, he has not achieved any merit." So he suddenly became anxious.

Azig's manipulation of his distrust of the Han people just dispelled Zhu Youjian's concerns.

Although he surrendered to the enemy many times, he also showed that he was aware of current affairs, but as long as there was no problem with the overall situation, he was the most dedicated to doing things.

On the second day after Zhu Youjian received Tang Tong's reply, Tang Tong led his army across the Liao River and entered Shengjing from the west of Shengjing City that day. He was welcomed by the people in Shengjing City.

Zhu Youjian knew this person very well.

It’s almost the same as when he was tricked by the eunuch.

It's no fun to have your military power taken away when you come up.

Especially the big and small south gates.

It can be said that except for the slightly slower marching speed, there are no other problems.

He also scorned the recruitment document sent by the leader of the Zhenghei Banner, Wuerte, and even wrote a few curse words in reply to show his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.

However, a heavy artillery that takes more than six minutes to reload and fires solid bullets is still powerless against trenches.

At present, the only one who has reliable information that is heading towards Shengjing is Tang Tong, the Dingxi Marquis of the Qing Dynasty.

Also pulled up was the really heartless cannon that never had much use!

Due to material problems, these strange weapons are extremely thick and not light at all. They were not used on a large scale before due to the existence of ejection craters, but now they are perfect for use!

The east side of the city had to eat cannonballs every day. The savages used sports cars to drag the cannons everywhere. Often the cannons would be pulled into the ditch after being fired. There was no way to suppress or destroy the savage cannons with firepower from the city.

He had seen this raging firepower before, but he still didn't understand it.

But the fact is that they were firmly blocked from the Tumed Left Banner.

The slave army that had surrendered to the barbarians occupied Durbi City, which was built by the Qing Dynasty and was used to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the south and Mongolia in the north. They used it as a checkpoint and occupied Tielingwei and 30,000 soldiers.

Wei, firmly controlled the north of Shengjing.

When Zhu Youjian watched Tang Tong's reinforcements enter Shengjing but did not immediately set off sparks, he immediately began to pull all the gunpowder stocks in the Black Flag Army to the front!

What method did the savages use to send these baby-sized explosive packets up into the sky and fly more than a hundred meters!

Tried my best.

As if to intimidate the Black Flag Army, Jiannu pulled a serious red cannon up to the top of the city. The power of one shot was so frightening that Zhu Youjian hurriedly ordered the artillery to retreat, only to cover the trench digging ahead.

good.

Soon! The first explosive package flew over the heads of the Shengjing defenders!

Then, it never stopped!

The armored man digging the ejection pit did not stop, and the heartless cannon had no intention of stopping. Even though the material problem caused the chamber to explode, the pile of soil to absorb the shock could still ensure that the explosives would not be used in the east of Shengjing City.

Flying intermittently towards the head of Shengjing City!

At the rear, the artillery of the Black Flag Army was still cold and fired at Shengjing City!

For a moment, rubble was flying everywhere from the east gate of Shengjing to the east gate. If the defenders were unlucky, their flesh and blood would fly with the rubble!

Soon, Azig opened the city gate in a panic and sent out a Han army green battalion to stop the Black Flag Army's bombing!

Chongzhen was greatly moved and took out the four thousand taels of silver from the bottom of the box to reward the army.

By chance, when Zhu Youjian saw his reply, he realized that he was still an acquaintance.

Azig, who had obtained 15,000 troops, didn't care about him. For a moment, his heart was even a little swollen, and he was thinking about whether to go out of the city and carry a shield car to fight with the Black Flag Army outside the city.

This veteran, who was still wearing the Ming Dynasty general's armor, looked at the Manchus and bannermen around him, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

Then Tang Tong led his troops to fight against the intruders, but the eunuchs guarding Juyong Pass behind Tang Tong quickly surrendered to the intruders after Tang Tong came out of the pass. As a result, Tang Tong was attacked from both sides and had no choice but to surrender to the intruders.

He himself was even asked to lead his troops out of the city to harass the Black Flag Army in the south of the city.

The total distance from the city gate to the Xiaoliao River in the south of the city is less than two thousand meters, and there are a large number of residential buildings along the way, which can serve as cover for the Black Flag Army. There are even towers located among the residential buildings for the Black Banner Army to use.

The flag army boarded it! Get a glimpse of the Shengjing city defense!

Leng Buding could also carry a blunderbuss on top of the tower and shoot into the city from time to time to scare the slaves.

Well, this red cannon is gone.

What about reinforcements?

The Mongolian reinforcements in the north, about 6,000 strong, were tightly besieged by a team of 30,000 former serfs. The battle reports sent after breaking through the siege were all positive reports, and they killed three, five, or dozen enemies at every turn.

When Shengjing was in crisis, he volunteered and led 20,000 troops out of the customs to help.

When the capital fell, he surrendered to Li Zicheng. After Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

The red cannon sounds terrifying.

But at this time, the Black Flag Army's trenches had been dug in place.

Looking at it now, if the savages are not forced to stop throwing explosives, then the East Gate and the East Gate will probably be blown up!

When the Han army's green battalion pushed the shield cart out of the city, they also enjoyed a wave of explosive charges!

Fortunately, the targets of the explosive charges were all city walls, and they were able to slowly approach the trenches.

But then he leaned over.

A large number of black flag soldiers emerged from the trenches, drew their big bows, and fired a round of heavy arrows!

This time, the Green Camp Han Army also felt the déjà vu.

It seems that we were beaten like this before.
Chapter completed!
