Chapter 940: Ten thousand cannons were fired together to conquer Liaoyang (2/2)

(0940)

【Today's third update is delivered!】

Rows of shells fell on the city walls and made dense sounds. Suddenly, the head of Liaoyang City seemed to be boiling, with messy screams everywhere. Some people screamed, some screamed, some screamed, some shouted, and some shouted, all kinds of sounds mixed together, making everyone who heard them feel broken.

These black iron bumps that are bigger than fists are definitely a tragedy as long as they hit people. No one on the defenders on the top of the city knows how powerful these iron bumps are. They hurriedly look for a place to hide. Behind the battlements is the easiest to hide. Many people lean on the battlements tightly and dare not move a single point.

The walls of Liaoyang City have been reinforced and are much stronger than before. However, under the bombardment of huge iron balls, some of the walls were still cracked by bombardment. Some battlements were even smashed by the iron balls and smashed to pieces. The people hiding behind the battlements naturally followed the tragedy.

The flying gravel bricks hit people as powerful as arrows, and they directly beat people to death or injury. However, more defenders died in their own horror. When they saw others being broken by battlements, they felt that the battlements behind them were not safe, so they jumped up desperately, trying to find a better place to hide. As a result, they often became easily hit after they stood up.

A large number of iron lumps roared over the city and landed in the Liaoyang City, breaking the buildings near the city wall into chaos. The streets were full of panic defenders. They found that no buildings in the city seemed to be able to stop the shells of the Hu Ben Army, and only the back of the city wall was the safest. So they rushed towards the root of the city wall wildly.

"Bang!"

A loud bang came, attracting the attention of many people.

The huge iron lumps roared on a pointed house on the side of the street, and all the sharp houses fell down. These sharp houses were built by the Portuguese before. After decades of wind and rain, they were a little old. They were smashed by huge solid bullets, and all bricks, gravels, tiles and so on. The defenders passing by below were naturally screaming and blood all over the ground.

The other defenders were frightened and no longer dared to pass by the sharp-topped house, so they had to take a detour. As a result, the Hu Ben Army's shells had no idea at all, and they chose the landing point completely. Therefore, no one knew where the next shell would land. Everything depends on God's blessing.

Yue Tuo's eldest son Yue Luohong was hit by flying debris during such a running process. When crossing the street, a brick falling from the sky directly knocked him over to the ground. With his head broken, he struggled hard on the ground. As a result, another wave of bricks and stones fell down on it, burying him.

No one noticed the defenders passing by behind. The man buried in the ruins was Yue Tuo's eldest son. They hurriedly ran past him and desperately avoided the rain of bullets falling. However, Yue Luohong was not very lonely. Soon, several defenders lay beside him, with their heads shattered and blood flowing all over the ground. It can be imagined that they would definitely not be lonely on the road to the underworld.

The Hu Ben Army did invest a lot this time, with a total of 200 newest red-clothed cannons fired desperately, and the rain of bullets fell was absolutely amazing. The 120mm-caliber large round iron ball weighed about twenty kilograms. Such a heavy guy would attract a series of storms no matter where he hit him.

Under such firepower suppression, the Liaoyang defenders had no counterattack ability at all. The first choice for the Hu Ben Army's shelling target was the red-clothed cannons of the defenders. As a result, a series of shells fell, which was indeed firmly suppressed the red-clothed cannons of the defenders.

It was not the gunners of the defenders who had no chance to fire the gun, but they did not have such courage. The solid bullets of the Hu Ben Army were indeed too dense, and they had no chance to fire the gun at all. If the Hu Ben Army's shells fell during the fire, wouldn't they have to hang up on the spot? The iron lumps do not need to be hit directly, they just need to smash the nearby battlements. The flying stone fragments are enough to knock down all of them, the gunners.

The red-clothed cannons in the entire Liaoyang City were all divided into thirty gates. After being divided into various gates, the number was even smaller. On the contrary, the red-clothed cannons of the Hu Ben Army were used in a concentrated manner. Calculated from the artillery bombardment just now, the red-clothed cannons owned by the Hu Ben Army were at least more than one hundred. There were less than ten gates, and when they faced 100 gates, the fool knew what the consequences would be.

"fire!"

"Strike back!"

Haoge shouted in anger.

The defenders themselves also have red cannons, how can they just eat the shells of the Hu Ben Army? No matter how small the number is, they must fight back! If they are passively beaten, the Hu Ben Army will attack. If the Hu Ben Army approaches the city wall, the doomsday of the defenders will come.

However, the gunners in the defenders were frightened by the cruel shells of the Hu Ben Army. They must stand up when operating the artillery. This would be very dangerous. If they were not careful, they would be disbanded.

"asshole!"

"come out!"

"fire!"

Haoge held the blood-dropping scimitar and screamed in anger.

At this time, Haoge finally had the opportunity to show off himself. Among the top leaders of the Great Jin Kingdom, many people were not optimistic about Haoge, thinking that his talent was not enough to be the Great Jin Kingdom's Khan. Instead of letting Haoge inherit the Khan throne, it would be better to let Dorgon take office.

However, no one said anything about Hauge's fighting courage. Hauge definitely lacks fighting courage. In such a rain of bullets, he still has the courage to stand up and risk being crushed at any time, holding a scimitar and pulling out the gunners.

The gunner was trembling and trembling, and he didn't dare to stand up even if he died. Haoge waved his knife and cut off his head. The next gunner did not dare to come up, Haoge still cut off his head. After slashing three gunners in a row, the scimitar in his hand was already covered in blood. His hands were all covered in blood. However, his crazy actions finally achieved results.

In front of the bloody butcher knife, the other gunners had to stand up with their teeth and manipulate the cannons to fight back outside the city. However, they had just fired two guns, and the gunners of the Hu Ben Army immediately focused on them.

With the continuous loud bang, more solid bullets fell around the gunners. Some solid bullets bounced, smashing the gunners to pieces. Some solid bullets broke the battlements, or directly smashed the ground, stirring up a large amount of gravel, and smashing the gunners all over. As a result, in a while, all the gunners were either dead or injured.

"Oh shit!"

Helpless Haoge had to put away his waist and retreat to a relatively safe position.

His luck was really good. He did not hit him in succession of solid bullets. However, many of his personal soldiers were injured or injured. There were originally three hundred personal soldiers around him, but in the chaotic shelling, at least fifty or sixty people were killed or injured.

The artillery bombardment of the Hu Ben Army lasted for three hours before it was temporarily stopped. The defenders in the city breathed a sigh of relief. When they stood up carefully, they were shocked to find that everything around them seemed to be unrecognizable, as if they were completely unfamiliar, and they could not see what they were originally.

There were defenders who were killed or injured everywhere on the top of the city. Most of the people had incomplete bodies, broken limbs and arms, everywhere. There were also many bloody eyes stuck in the cracks of the city wall. Blood kept flowing down the cracks of the city wall. Broken weapons were scattered all over the ground.

Haoge sent people to check the losses and found that all the red cannons had been destroyed. Well, to be precise, it was not all destroyed. If there were gunners, there were two that could still be fired. However, all the gunners had already suffered all casualties.

Haoge temporarily dispatched several people to be gunners, but accidentally, a red-clothed cannon exploded. The gunners around him were all violently exploded, and all died of corpses and were scattered all over the ground. In this way, no one was willing to be gunners anymore. Haoge had no effect in temptation, so he had to give up.

"good!"

"Continue tomorrow!"

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

He searched carefully from the Qianli Mile Mile and found that the red-clothed cannons of the Tartars had basically lost their combat power. The biggest hidden danger was eliminated, and the attack of the Tiger Ben Army would be much easier. Without these red-clothed cannons, the Tartars were toothless tigers and had no power.

That night, there were wailing sounds in Liaoyang City. The artillery bombardment of the Hu Ben Army killed at least thousands of defenders. The morale of the defenders further declined. When he found that his eldest son was beaten to death, Yue Tuo couldn't help but cry and sighed helplessly. If he had known this, why should he have been there?

It was finally late at night when the defenders were about to sleep, the cannons of the Hu Ben Army sounded again. The rumbling sound of cannons seemed particularly scary in the quiet night. The defenders hurriedly got up and hid under the city wall. This time, the Hu Ben Army's artillery bombardment only had a few cannons. The sound of cannons was intermittent, as if they were not full. The number of shells falling was not very large. There was no accurate point at all.

However, no defenders dared to go back to the barracks to sleep peacefully. The artillery bombardment of the Hu Ben Army is indeed a disaster. No one can calculate what the Hu Ben Army is going to do. Who can guarantee that the shells will not fall on their heads? In desperation, the defenders had to spend the night under the walls, even Yuetuo and Haoge were like this.

By dawn the next day, the Hu Ben Army continued to launch artillery. Today's artillery was a little different from yesterday. The target of today's artillery was mainly buildings in the city. From the landing point of the shells, it is estimated that the red-clothed cannons of the Hu Ben Army should be close to the city wall, covering the entire Liaoyang City within its range.

The shelling was relatively scattered and messy, but the shelling time was very long. It started in the morning and did not end at night. Under the shelling of the Hu Ben Army, the defenders hiding at the base of the city wall did not dare to move at all. If they ran out, they might be over. For safety reasons, it would be better to hide here.

By night, the artillery bombardment of the Hu Ben Army finally stopped temporarily. Zhang Zhun and others could see from the Qianli Miles Miles that the southern city wall of Liaoyang had been beaten beyond recognition. After careful search, the shadow of the red cannon could no longer be seen.

"Transfer to the East Gate!"

Artillery commander Mo Ru shouted loudly.

After the red-clothed cannon was transferred to the East Gate, there were two consecutive days of fierce shelling. Several red-clothed cannons deployed by the Tartars on the top of the East Gate were all destroyed. Subsequently, the artillery of the Tiger Army moved from the East Gate to the West Gate. After the two consecutive days of shelling, all red-clothed cannons of the West Gate were destroyed. The casualties of the defenders also increased further.

The six consecutive days of artillery bombardment destroyed all the main defensive forces of Liaoyang City. The remaining small cannons did not pose much threat to the artillery of the Hu Ben Army. In order to cooperate with the attack of the three city gates, two hundred red-clothed cannons were assigned to three attack groups. Among them, the number of red-clothed cannons in Ximen was the largest, with a total of one hundred.

The Qinglong Legion had the strongest force, and the main attack direction was actually the Ximen. For this reason, the artillery of the Hu Ben Army launched a long-term shelling of the west gate of Liaoyang City. The original more than 100 field artillery of the Qinglong Legion also joined the battlefield.

The continuous and violent artillery bombardment not only greatly destroyed the defensive artillery fire in Liaoyang City, but also greatly damaged the morale of the defenders. The Han flag and the morale of the Korean minions in the city had dropped to negative numbers. The morale of the Tartars in the city was also very low. Yuetuo and Haoge had a little confidence, but they were gone at this time.

After a few days of artillery bombardment, the 300 Haoge's personal soldiers have been reduced to less than 100. Yuetuo's personal soldiers are the same, with only a few dozen people coming. Because of the huge casualties, the morale of the two personal soldiers is extremely low, and no one has the heart to continue fighting. They just want to escape from Liaoyang City quickly.

Originally, the defenders wanted to use artillery fire to force the attack of the Hu Ben Army, causing certain casualties to the Hu Ben Army, and then let the Hu Ben Army retreat with difficulty. However, the artillery fire of the Hu Ben Army was even stronger than theirs. This huge gap was indeed too uncomfortable. The Hu Ben Army was stronger than the Da Jin Army in everything, so what hope did the Da Jin Army have?

Many defenders were not about defending the city, but about how to escape. Even those Tartars wanted to retreat in the last days. After all, when morale was so low, people's minds would change. Even though they knew they were going to die, not everyone could accept it calmly. Tartars were always human beings, and at this time, they would also think about their relatives and survive.

On the seventh day, the Hu Ben Army launched a full-scale general attack. The red-clothed cannons and field cannons at the three city gates all roared, and solid bullets were pouring desperately into Liaoyang City. The rumbling sound of cannons made the defenders in the city feel that their doomsday has arrived.

"superior!"

Jerry Yang shouted in a low voice.

Agile figures kept jumping up and rushed towards the various city gates of Liaoyang City with explosives bags. Under the cover of artillery fire, the members of these blasting teams quickly successfully arrived at the city gate hole and placed enough explosives inside.

At the same time, the artillery fire of the Hu Ben Army began to extend into the city. The types of bullets fired by the red-clothed cannon also changed from solid bullets to grape bullets, trying to kill the defenders' live power. A large number of marbles fell into the city, bringing warm greetings from the God of Death.

In fact, at this time, there were not many defenders at the top of Liaoyang City. Everyone knows that by this time, Liaoyang City will be impossible to defend. This matter is crazy and escaping is the most important thing.

After having this idea, most of the defenders began to move towards the north gate. The three gates of Liaoyang City were attacked violently, and only the north gate was not moving. They gathered towards the north gate, consciously or unconsciously.

"asshole!"

"Don't run!"

Haoge shouted loudly at his subordinates.

Unfortunately, for this reason, apart from his personal soldiers, not many people care about his shouting. Even if Haoge waved his scimitar and cut down several defenders in succession, he still could not stop the full defeat of the defenders.

If the Hu Ben Army besieged from all sides and attacked each city gate, perhaps these defenders could fight for a while. However, the Hu Ben Army missed the North Gate and gave the defenders the possibility of escape. With a strong desire to escape, the idiots would care about Haoge's orders. Some even hated Haoge to death. If his father Huang Taiji had not been so stupid, how could the Jin Kingdom fall to such a level?

Yue Tuo shook his head helplessly.

This is really a dispersed person and the team is difficult to lead.

If it were before, when the Great Jin Kingdom was in a strong state, who would dare not obey military orders?

In desperation, Haoge and Yuetuo had to take their own troops to retreat to the north gate.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind.

The ground was shaking violently, making every soldier of the Great Jin army feel his legs a little weak. Yue Tuo looked back and found that it was the direction of the south gate, with thick smoke rolling and black smoke pillars rising into the sky. He knew that Liaoyang City was over.

"Boom!"

Just as the defenders were shocked, a loud noise came from the east gate.

"Boom!"

Before anyone could react, there was a loud noise from Ximen.

"Walk!"

Yue Tuo quickly greeted his personal soldiers.

When will they not leave now? The three city gates were opened by the Hu Ben Army, and the tide-like Hu Ben Army would rush in frantically. If they walked slowly, they would be caught up by the Tiger Army, which was like a wolf and a tiger.

"Walk!"

Over there, Haoge also called his personal soldiers and ran away quickly.

Once the Hu Ben Army enters the city, even if the Jin army has great skills, it will not be able to reverse it. At this time, the only thing that can be done is thirty-six strategies, and it is the best strategy. Leave the green mountains and don’t worry about losing firewood. As long as you can survive, it is good.

The two separated.
