The way of landing operations of the National Defense Forces made Man Qing very helpless.

Although they had made proper defense preparations, Man Qing didn't know how to deal with this method of landing anywhere.

They knew that Shanhaiguan was very important, so they deployed heavy troops here.

They also knew that there was a national defense force in Lushun, so they strengthened their defenses in Fuzhouwei.

Even Tianjin Wei is prepared.

It's just that he didn't expect that when the National Defense Forces came to Jinzhou, they immediately grabbed Man Qing's veins.

There is nothing the Manchu high-level can do about it.

After discussion, they decided to leave the Great Wall from Zunhua and return to Liaodong by detouring the Mongolian grassland.

"You rush back immediately to control the situation, and send an order to the ministries to send troops to reinforce Jinzhou."

Because Wu Keshan was fighting with Azig, Dorgon ordered Chahan to rush back to Horqin immediately.

Regarding how to attack Jinzhou City, the National Defense Forces had already formulated a corresponding plan.

Li Soltai had to give up Jinzhou.

Compared with the Qing army, the National Defense Army has a greater advantage in artillery.

Compared with the outer city, the situation in the inner city of Jinzhou is more complicated.Any house or street may cause the sacrifice of soldiers.

Lou Fu cherished the lives of soldiers very much, and he was not willing to let soldiers attack the city with their flesh and blood.

"Tell the reinforcements from Shenyang to stop at Guangning and not to move forward. Let's withdraw to meet up, maybe we can hold on longer."

Guangning is the gateway to Shenyang and the only way to go.Only by concentrating forces here can it be possible to block the National Defense Forces and ensure the safety of Shenyang.

Behind him, Empress Xiaozhuang, Emperor Shunzhi, high-ranking officials of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, as well as ordinary Manchu people, all embarked on the journey dejectedly.

Then the artillery will focus on these places.

After completely occupying Jinzhou, Lou Fu seized the time to rest and reorganize his troops while waiting for new troops to arrive.

Lou Fu attacked the city of Jinzhou and began to attack the city the next day.

Only when Dorgon returns with the main force of the Qing Dynasty can the crisis be turned into safety.

Therefore, even though the gap was blown open, Lou Fu still ordered to slow down the attack speed.

However, what he didn't know was that Lou Fu's target was never him.

Falling masonry, soil, wood, and even soldiers of the Wehrmacht were injured.

Until then, under the cover of firepower, the engineering soldiers rushed to the gate of the inner city to pile up explosives.

Five hundred kilograms of explosives were detonated, and the whole earth trembled.The seemingly solid city wall completely flew into the sky in such an explosion.

There are still sporadic Qing troops resisting above, but the strength is dispensable.

The soldiers were reminded and simply settled down.Just across a large open space, they used muskets to continuously attack the Qing army on the opposite city wall.

That afternoon, all the outer city on the east side of Jinzhou fell into the hands of the National Defense Forces.

After approaching the city wall in a loose formation, the Wehrmacht infantry climbed up one after another.

Once encountering resistance, the soldiers of the National Defense Forces did not fight back on the spot.Instead, stand back and mark the place.

Even if some areas are extremely strong, the artillery cannot blow them down.But under the cover of artillery fire, the people above were completely untenable.

With the attack of artillery, the speed of soil work of engineers is very fast.After only five days, they dug to a place less than 100 meters away from the city wall of Jinzhou.

This is the only way to return to Liaodong except for the Liaoxi Corridor.

A hundred heavy artillery pieces completely blew up the Ningyuan Gate in the east, and the city wall was damaged and collapsed in many places, completely losing its defensive function.

Li Soltai was thinking about it, but he couldn't think of a way to counter it, so he could only hear explosions ringing in his ears one after another.

No one knows what the future holds. Will they be able to return to their homeland?
Dorgon was so anxious that he moved very fast, wishing he could return to Liaodong with his wings.

He decided to guard Guangning together with the reinforcements from Shenyang.

Li Sutai had already guessed that Dorgon would come back from the Mongolian grassland and would never take the Liaoxi Corridor.

As a pure military castle, Jinzhou has complete defense facilities.

They couldn't imagine why the Wehrmacht had so many powerful and hateful weapons.But he could only be beaten, not fight back, and watched the people around him die.

All problems that can be solved with artillery are not problems.

Facing tens of thousands of muskets, the Qing army could only hide behind the walls in embarrassment, not daring to show their heads at all.

Although weapons, food and grass are abundant in the inner city, if the fight continues like this, the result will not change in any way.

When all the defenses around Jinzhou were removed, only the bare city walls were left facing the artillery fire of the National Defense Forces.

The corpses carried off the city wall passed by him in an endless stream, and they had already piled up behind him like a mountain.

Not only did they fail to gain a firm foothold in the capital, but they had to take other routes on the return journey, so that everyone's hearts were covered with a haze.

Lou Fu officially issued an order for the general offensive.

However, what he didn't know was that no matter how fast he was, he was already powerless.

A messenger came over, stopping the soldiers from rushing into the city.

Dorgon did not dare to delay, and in the early morning of the second day, he led [-] cavalry as a forward and left the capital.

Sun Chengzong, Zhang Chun and other Ming officials who had served in Liaodong all provided opinions and references.

Although the city wall cannot withstand the heavy artillery of the Wehrmacht, other fortifications will still make the Wehrmacht pay the price.

Soon after, when the bazookas and mortars were brought up, the Qing army became even more frantic.

Therefore, Lou Fu borrowed from the method of the Qing army's two attacks on Jinzhou, and used soil work to approach it step by step.

This kind of pain caused the Qing army's fighting will to lose rapidly.

He also wanted to lure the National Defense Army to the city of Guangning, and wait until Dorgon led the army to return, attacking from east to west, turning defeat into victory.

Although Li Soltai tried his best and used all his strength to launch seven consecutive counterattacks, all of them were beaten back without exception under the effective response of the National Defense Forces.

Chahan also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he set off on the same day with his cronies.

"Captain Jin, the commander tells you, don't rush in and continue to torture the defenders with firepower."

The soldiers cleared the battlefield and did not rush to attack inside. Instead, they used the advantage of muskets on the outer city wall to suppress the defenders in the inner city.

More than 1 Qing troops, plus family members and Minzhuang, have already lost two-thirds of the battle.

When there were three more security guards here in Jinzhou, information from the pass was also sent over.

Convinced that Dorgon left the Mongolian grassland, Lou Fu made a move.

He sent two security divisions north to Guangning to contain Li Sutai.Another security division was asked to guard Jinzhou to support the north and south lines.

Then transfer the two main regiments of the Tashan defense line back, let the fourth division be fully loaded, and go straight to the Xilamulun River.

Man Qing wanted to return to Liaodong, but he had to ask him if he agreed.
