Chapter 183 The Fall of Shengjing

The Green Battalion of the Han Army was driven back by a round of heavy arrows! In the blink of an eye, another attack was made by the Black Flag Ordnance Battalion. Everyone huddled behind the shield car and did not dare to show their heads.

Watching this scene, Azige also shrank in the corner of the east gate of Shengjing, fearing that he would eat an explosive packet, and his teeth itched with hatred.

If you want to defeat the enemy from the front, the enemy's trenches have been dug right up to your nose.

To the south, there is a big river that cannot be opened.

Go north, the savages just lost 30,000 people north of Shengjing.

Is it possible that I can only be beaten at the east and west gates?

Azig was naturally dissatisfied.

Including the newly arrived Eight Banners of the Han Army, he had gathered nearly 40,000 troops, which was considered to be evenly matched with the main force of the Zhenghei Banner.

So, at the end of June.

Azig began to command the troops in Shengjing City and started a tug-of-war with Zhengheiqi in the east of Shengjing City.

He sees things more clearly than Azig.

The importance of Shengjing plummeted.

But in the east of the city, the Black Flag Army remained motionless. Relying on trenches and shield vehicles, they only retreated a few tens of meters in the trenches, leaving nearly 500 corpses behind. The Qing Army eventually had to retreat into the city.

.

After all, he was the one who brought him out of confinement and fell into the hands of Azig as cannon fodder, which made Tang Tong feel a little sorry.

If you say we will escort you away, escort us away!?

There must be no mistakes!

Why don’t you come and meet the savages!?

On June 26, Azig sent two thousand troops in an attempt to harass the Black Flag Army in the south of the city, but was discovered by the tower in the south of the city. After noon, he left the north of the city, but was eventually pushed back under the nose of the Black Flag cavalry.

After many years of suppression, once he succeeded, the king of Korea became very motivated and began to help liquidate the loyal Qing faction in the country.

And because of the large mansion of Shuntian Prefecture, these Manchus and Mongols basically have no attachment to their lives outside the customs. Even if they rarely value family ties, it is not so difficult to let go under the coercion of the Eight Banners military system.

Since the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty came to power in Shuntian, even if he inherited the destiny of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called Shengjing was just a city with a sparse population.

On the other hand, he also sympathized with the green camp Han troops.

The strong population of various Mongolian tribes is also within Shuntian Prefecture.

As for the significance of Shengjing to the Qing Dynasty.

The large and small east gates of Shengjing City were all blown up, making them much shorter than the other gates!

God knows how they got so much heavy firepower out of the trenches!

As soon as the decree came into Azig's hands, Azig began to scold his mother.

On June 29, after two days of silence, Azig raised ten thousand troops! They launched a surprise attack from the south, north, and east of Shengjing! The black flag troops in the north and south of the city were forced to retreat.

They were still wary and afraid of the Qing Dynasty, but they also took this opportunity to clean up their internal affairs.

The siege of Shengjing came to an end because of a decree from Shuntian Mansion.

Let’s not talk about whether the morale of the military can be used if this continues, but the morale of the people is about to collapse.

On that day, Zhengheiqi's offensive in the east of Shengjing City did not stop. Explosive charges had already blown holes in the gate towers of the east and west gates of Shengjing. In some parts of the city wall, depressions about half the size of a man had appeared!

On June 27, Azig once again gathered an army and left the east of the city. This time he equipped his soldiers with explosive bags of the same type as Zhengheiqi, and sent death squads to forcefully light the explosive bags and throw them into the trenches!

But in the end, the effect of killing the enemy was not ideal, and the throwers often lost their lives in nine out of ten throws. That night, the Qing army retreated into the city again.

And the transfer was very complete.

It was also from this day on that some soldiers under Zhu Youjian gained experience in operating unscrupulous cannons. They threw explosive packets quite densely, greatly speeding up the shattering of the east gate wall of Shengjing!

After some operations.

That is when he gathered the Han army and Azige built the city's defense line.

This is also the reason why the Qing Dynasty asked a large number of immigrants to build wicker borders.

For the Qing Dynasty at this time, Shengjing suddenly became a target that could be abandoned.

Yes, North Korea sent two thousand gunmen and one thousand gunners as support, but they did not display the official North Korean flag, but secretly joined the military formation with the Zhenghei flag.

It can be said that except for not openly announcing to the world that they had begun to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, they had done everything they should do domestically.

The core of governance has shifted.

Prior to this, Zhu Youjian gave an order to Guarjia Xingjia in the north of Shengjing, asking him to leave 10,000 troops to garrison and move an army of 20,000 troops southward to attack the north of Shengjing.

The barbarians' bombing of the east part of the city was clearly intended to be a slow invasion, and they might continue to bomb Shengjing City instead of slowly attacking.

On June 25, Azig gathered a total of 300 elite Bajala men from Shengjing City, led 4,000 Green Camp Han troops to fight from the small east gate of Shengjing City, and set up a shield and chariot formation outside the city gate, but in the main

Unable to advance under the bombardment of black flag explosive packs, they retreated to the city that night.

So in early July, Azig began to try to move the people in Shengjing City to the west of Shengjing City, and ordered Tang Tong to protect them.

The defeat of this battle also completely ignited Azig's anger. He gritted his teeth and gave up the defense in the east of the city, and instead started to build street fighting defense facilities directly in the residential houses and the prince's palace in the east of the city!

At this time, Tang Tong, who was located outside Shengjing City, was completely disappointed with Azig. Knowing that he would not be reused, he began to try to quietly transfer his troops out of the city.

So he gathered the Han army in the name of waiting for opportunities outside the city.

The able-bodied men of the Eight Banners, the strongest group of Manchus, were all in the capital camp.

Secretly sending support can be regarded as North Korea's stated position during the siege of Shengjing.

But don't look at the back-and-forth look.

Every one can be saved.

The Manchus who had dominated Korea before were also liquidated and placed under house arrest.

A group of reinforcements arrived at Zhengheiqi.

The anti-Qing wave within North Korea has reached its peak!

So on the one hand, Tang Tong understood that Shengjing was very likely to fall into the hands of the wild Jurchens, and he just wanted to see if the wild Jurchens could occupy the city for a long time.

Even in terms of governance, the Qing Dynasty, which catered to the interests of local gentry, governed in Shuntian Prefecture, which was much smoother and more convenient than governing in Shengjing!

Therefore, while the Qing Dynasty was gathering the Eight Banners in Beijing, it was also working hard to intermarry with the Han gentry class.

On July 3rd, after the Black Flag Army's move to the west of Shengjing City had taken shape, they launched a general offensive toward the east of Shengjing City!

The rest of the population really isn't that important.

And this scene naturally fell into the eyes of the Black Flag Army Sentinel!

Even if he did not escort the people in the city to leave, many people in the city had already begun to find ways to get carriages and horses, and even left the city alone and headed into Shanhaiguan, and the trend of fleeing became more and more intense!

But whether he should say it or not, Azig had had enough.

It was precisely because of the arrival of this group of reinforcements that Zhu Youjian knew what the siege of Shengjing meant to North Korea.

After discussion at the meeting of the kings and ministers, it was unanimously decided within the Qing Dynasty that the British Prince Azig would be responsible for escorting all the noble family members of the Manchus in Shengjing City, the family members of the Eight Banners, and the Manchus in the city to the pass. Tang Tong would serve as an assistant. No one was allowed.

error.

As a result, the back road was opened, and the crowd of people evacuating was extremely strong. However, the other side of Shengjing City was attacked by the barbarians with all their strength!

On July 4th, under the pressure of the Zhenghei Banner and the eviction order, Azig abandoned half of Shengjing City and even left the Shengjing Imperial City for the Black Flag Army to plunder, thereby exterminating the last batch of full-fledged people in Shengjing City.

People withdraw.

But soon, Azig who withdrew from Shengjing City was pursued by Guarjia Xingjia. The Black Flag Army cavalry also quickly followed up. In the end, he fought Azig in the west of Shengjing City and won five people.

Thousands of people.

He also pursued them to the north of Jinzhou Prefecture, raiding and plundering along the way, forcing Azige and Tangtong to abandon more than ten thousand people.
