Chapter 687 Shengjing Artillery Battle(1/2)

While the two guards were blown away, a dozen more guards fell in a pool of blood.

Some of them had their arms blown off, some had a leg suddenly disappeared, and some of them had bloody heads...

Hearing the screams of his subordinates like slaughtering pigs, he looked at the Qing soldiers falling one after another on the city wall.

Only then did Prince Jiannuli Daishan know why the emperor personally led hundreds of thousands of elites from the Eight Banners to Songjin and never came back...

Under such horrific rocket burning and explosive bombing, the Qing troops were defeated without any suspense!

Concubine Zhuang's clever strategy of clinging to Shengjing had almost no chance of being realized during the fierce bombardment of the Ming army.

"Quickly fire the artillery and give me a severe blow to the Ming army's artillery position..."

The order Daishan can make now is to let the artillery on the city fire.

The artillerymen on the city were busy loading ammunition and firing:

"Rumble..."

Their shooting skills were so poor that dozens of shells whizzed past the Ming army's heads...

But what they responded to was an even more intense explosion from the Ming army:

"Rumble..."

More than a dozen explosive bombs and several rockets violently bombarded the south gate tower, not only blowing up most of the artillery on the city, but even the gate tower collapsed!

Luck Dehong, the leader of the red-flag flag who was sitting slumped next to Daishan, was worried that his grandfather would be killed by the bomb, so he hurriedly persuaded Daishan to go to the city:

"Your Majesty, it's better to take shelter first. It's too dangerous in the city..."

Daishan looked at the Qing soldiers who still kept firing, and he shook his head decisively:

"No, we can't go down to the city. Once I go down to the city, the morale of the army will definitely be in chaos, and it is very likely that they will flee in an instant!"

Seeing that his grandfather was very determined, Luck Dehong knew that what he said made sense and did not continue to persuade him. At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion in the city. He hurriedly turned back to look at the city and found that green smoke was coming from everywhere in the city.

Luck Dehong was shocked. He thought someone was taking advantage of the chaos to set fire, and was about to send someone to investigate. At this time, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Sony, under the protection of a group of personal guards, ran up to the top of the city with his waist hunched.

Seeing Daishan, he hurried over and said:

"Your Majesty, for some unknown reason, many houses in the city caught fire. Your Majesty asked me to come and take a look..."

The emperor that Sony was talking about was, of course, Ye Bushu who was just promoted to the throne a few days ago.

Knowing clearly that the slave-building regime was about to perish, Yebushu was still willing to take office just to enjoy the last period of his life.

From the most unknown son of Huang Taiji to the last emperor of the slave-building regime, Ye Bushu believed that he would die without regrets. What's more, could he not die if he didn't become emperor?

Ye Bushu, the Qing Emperor who had just come to power, completely let himself go after he came to power. Originally, he came to power just to have the emperor's pleasure for a few days. These days, whenever he has free time, he will get into a crowd of women.

He had been to Huang Taiji's harem frequently in the past two days. Ye Bushu could choose at will among the maids and concubines that Huang Taiji had never touched.

If it weren't for Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Daishan and others reaching an agreement with him, not to touch the queen and concubine, the Emperor Qing Qing would probably have been having sex with Concubine Zhezhe, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen every night...

When the Ming army began to attack the city, the civil servants and generals of Jiannu basically took action, but the new emperor Ye Bushu did nothing. It was impossible for them to defend the city. He was the emperor.

Didn't Daishan and the Empress ask him to be the emperor? Then he should be the emperor well. When he went to court, he would never leave Chongwu Hall.

In the past, he was often looked down upon and ordered around by the princes and Belles. Although he is a puppet now, he is still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. No one dares to let him go to war or command him.

Ye Bushu felt very happy like this. He decided to fight for the new emperor to the end. Even if the Ming army broke through the city and delayed him within ten days, Ye Bushu's life would be worth it...

After receiving reports that many houses in the city were on fire, he immediately ordered Sony to go and see what happened.

Although Sony was a civil servant, he did not dare to resist the decree, so he had no choice but to go to the city to find Daishan and ask what was going on...

After Sony finished speaking, Daishan immediately knew what was going on. It must have been caused by the Ming army launching explosive and burning objects that flew into the city and ignited the houses in the city.

While he was talking, another rocket landed not far away. After the explosion, a fire ignited again. More than a dozen slaves and soldiers were blown up and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. Some people were also on fire. They were screaming and rolling on the ground...

Seeing this situation, Sony suddenly turned pale with fright and trembled all over:

"This... what kind of firearm is this?"

Daishan said helplessly:

"This is a new firearm of the Ming Army. I don't know its specific name yet. It is what sets the houses on fire in the city. It seems that the range can reach five miles. The Ming Army's artillery shells will also explode and are far more powerful than solid bullets. These

The Qing Dynasty should have obtained the information earlier..."

The more Sony listened, the more worried he became. He never thought that Ming military weapons would develop to such an extent, and his heart became even more trembling.

"It's over. The weapons of the Ming Dynasty are so powerful. It may be difficult for Shengjing to hold on for a long time. We must find a way as soon as possible..."

Thinking of this, Sony hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, you see that the Ming army has not yet attacked the city. The casualties of the soldiers on the city wall have been too great. I suggest that some soldiers and artillery can be left to defend. The other warriors will temporarily retreat to a safe place. When the Ming army launches a general attack, they will

Then go to the city to defend."

"Okay, Master Suo, this is a good idea. Grandson gives the order and does as Master Suo said."

"twitter!"

Luck Dehong immediately ordered someone to pass on his grandfather's order.

Daishan said to Sony again:

"Master Suo, the city is very dangerous. You should go down to the city immediately and prepare the reserve team. Once the Ming army launches a general attack, immediately send the reserve team to the city to defend."

"Hey! My lord, please pay attention to your safety. I will leave you!"

Sony was also worried that he would be killed by the Ming army's explosive bombs, so he handed over to Dai Shan and left immediately.

After two hours of indiscriminate bombardment, the Ming artillery outside the city finally stopped, presumably to let the artillery cool down.

After a long while, no gunfire was heard, and Dai Shan was helped up by his guards.

He looked around the top of the city and found that there were broken limbs and flesh and blood everywhere on the top of the city, and some Jiannu who were seriously injured and unable to move were howling.

The artillerymen next to the artillery also suffered heavy casualties, and some artillery pieces fell over on the city wall. There was a Jiannu artilleryman lying on a cannon not far from Daishan, and his lower body had disappeared...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Daishan felt his heart was bleeding. After this battle, even if the Ming army retreated, the Qing Dynasty should be over. Daishan shook his head and said:

"Come here, carry all the injured soldiers down to the city. The artillerymen will check the artillery and be ready for battle at any time..."

"twitter!"

After Daishan explained something, he got up and walked down the city. He was going to find a place to have a good rest. Today's artillery battle during the Ming and Qing Dynasties almost deafened him.

Dai Shan left, but Luck Dehong did not leave. Instead, he got up and personally inspected the damage to the artillery, and finally found that only half of the artillery was still functional.

He immediately ordered the artillerymen to quickly right the overturned artillery and adjust the muzzles of the artillery. There was no need to repair the city walls collapsed by the artillery shells for the time being.

Zhu Cixiang has been observing the situation on the top of Shengjing City with telescopes. Zhu Cixiang is very satisfied with the impact of artillery and rockets on Shengjing City.

It is almost impossible to destroy such a strong city wall with artillery in a short time. The best way is to completely knock out the artillery on the city head and then forcefully attack the city.

Due to the improved gunpowder and the superb shooting skills of the artillerymen, the Ming army's artillery basically fired outside the range of the Jiannu artillery.

At this distance, the bombardment of Jiannu will be very harmful, but it is difficult to accurately hit the artillery and artillery on the city.

After the Jiannu lost the Han army, their artillery was all Manchurian soldiers. Although the technology was not very good, the combat effectiveness of this group of Jiannu artillery was very strong.

Facing the bombardment of the Ming army's artillery shells, they did not give in at all, relying on numerous artillery pieces to fight frantically against the Ming army's artillery.

There are nearly a thousand artillery pieces on the city, mainly red cannons. No one dares to underestimate the lethality of a thousand cannons.

If the Ming army desperately attacked Shengjing, they would certainly be able to capture Shengjing, but they would pay heavy casualties.

It was only a matter of time before he captured Shengjing. Under such a good situation, how could Zhu Cixi not care about the lives of the Ming soldiers.

"Pass my order to suspend the siege!"

Zhu Cixiang gave an order, and the Ming army suspended the bombardment of Shengjing City, and then walked down the observation tower and returned to the imperial camp.

After Zhu Cixiang returned to the imperial camp, the four commanders of the National Guard Army and the general soldiers of the three towns came to the imperial camp for a meeting.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand why he stopped the bombardment. He saw that the slaves in the city had suffered heavy casualties, so he should strike while the iron was hot.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take Shengjing in one go and attack the city with all four gates? Jiannu won't be able to defend it!"

He Renlong also stepped forward and bowed and said:

"Yes, the Ming army is now strong and strong. I wonder why your Majesty suddenly ordered to stop the bombardment?"



After Chongzhen and He Renlong, Huang Degong, Gao Jie and others all hoped to continue bombarding Shengjing.

During the two-hour bombardment, many soldiers under their command were killed or injured, and they all held their breath in their hearts.

Sun Chuanting knew what Emperor Shenwu was thinking. He just wanted to speak for Emperor Shenwu, but when he saw the Supreme Empress Chongzhen, he temporarily gave up the idea.

As a minister of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Sun Chuanting knew that the Supreme Emperor wanted to save face, so he would not contradict Chongzhen.

This time Zhu Cixiang ignored Emperor Chongzhen. He glanced at the faces of the generals and said with a slight smile:

"There are nearly a thousand artillery pieces at the top of Shengjing City. If we attack blindly, do you know how many soldiers will fall before dawn?

Many soldiers have been following me in battle since we formed the East Palace Guards in our supervisory state.

Now that Jiannu has lost his wings, I want to bring all the soldiers back to the capital as well as possible, otherwise how can I face their parents and children!"
