Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 145 The Fall of Shengjing
Squads of soldiers braved the rain of arrows on the top of the city and kept attacking Shengjing City.Since the fort in the southeast corner of Shengjing City was blown up, only the fort in the southwest corner was still threatened.Even so, the Nancheng defenders were relatively weak to fight back under the suppression of the Liao army's artillery fire, which caused less casualties to the infantry.

However, I don't know if the main force of the Liao army is not in Nancheng or if the defenders are relatively tenacious in ancient times. The siege battle under the cover of fierce artillery is quite thunderous and rainy.The infantry of the Liao army was unable to attack the city wall for a long time.

In contrast, the Koryo army with insufficient firepower put more pressure on Dongcheng, so that the Eight Banners officers once mistakenly believed that Dongcheng was the main force of Chu Yun.

"Little Lord Belle, some Belle Lords have sent news that although the offensive in the direction of the west city and the south city is relatively fierce, it seems that the main force of the Liao army has not been found. They suspect that the main force of the Liao army is still in the south city, so you should be careful. Let them know if there is any trouble."

"Understood." The brave Dorgon braved the artillery fire and planned to go up to the city wall to observe the movement of the Ming army.

"Little Lord Belle, what are you doing! The artillery fire of the Ming army on the city wall is fierce, you can't put yourself in danger! If something happens to you, how can we explain to the big Lord Belle!" Seeing Dorgon bring When the soldiers came up, the generals who were sticking to the city wall were red-eyed.

"The big gold is going to be gone, so my safety is nothing. You have worked hard." Dorgon couldn't help being moved when he saw the faces of the generals defending the city covered in dust due to the black smoke from the black gunpowder. Said.

"It's hard work, but their artillery is too powerful, and the black smoke is smoky. Fortunately, they didn't attack." The general who defended the city was full of bitterness.

boom!A shell exploded not far away, startling Dorgon and the others, and the cloak rattled in the wind.

"The firearms of the Fu Liao Army are so terrifying!" Dorgon was terrified.

If the shell just now had been closer, perhaps all the people like myself would have suffered casualties.

"Little Lord Belle, please, come down quickly, leave this place to us, and we will always pay attention to the enemy troops outside the city." Seeing that the Liao army started firing again, the city guard general became more anxious.

Dorgon still didn't give up, and risked looking down the city through the small hole above the battlements.

The Fu Liao army who attacked the city gradually built temporary fortifications with sandbags to cover the bows and arrows at the top of the city, and at the same time facilitate the Fu Liao army to shoot at the top of the city and shorten the distance of attacking the city.

There was a flash of fire in the darkness. It was the fire of the Fuliao Army's flintlock muskets.

"Although the artillery of the Fu Liao Army is fierce, judging from the sparks of the muskets, there are only more than 1000 people under the city, and they attack in batches, with hundreds of people in each group. Strangely, although their fortifications shortened the distance of the charge, they all Huddled behind the fortifications, the determination to attack the city is not strong." Dorgon inspected the battle situation with his own eyes and found something wrong.

"Little Lord Belle, look, the main army of the Fuliao Army is on fire!" Dorgon's soldiers suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone, including Dorgon, looked out through the small hole.

Sure enough, on the high platform of the main tent of the Fuliao Army, a raging fire was burning like a bright moon.

"Idiot, that's not a fire, that's a signal!" Dorgon saw the flame dancing in the dark night, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Almost everyone's heart tightened, the air became heavy, and they couldn't even breathe smoothly, as if a huge stone was pressing on their chests.

"Lie down on the ground and hide for me, don't show a little bit!" The officer of the Liao army behind the fortification shouted.

He has received an order from the military department, strictly ordering them to hide obediently.

"Detonate!" Wolff and other blasters received Chu Yun's order and acted immediately!

The Demoman nervously lit the fuse with a torch.The fuse covered with kerosene crawled forward like a winding fire snake.

"Plug your ears and shut your mouth!" Wolf ordered the blasters to hide behind the fortifications.

Intense light bloomed, and the tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder buried under the city gate were detonated by the detonating powder, illuminating the night in an instant, and even the defenders at the top of the city felt the light from below!
Rumble! ! !boom! ! !
A loud noise resounded from the sky to the ground, the earth trembled, and the hills collapsed!At that moment, ten thousand catties of gunpowder exploded almost simultaneously, the flames soared into the sky, black smoke billowed, and the solid city gate was blown to pieces! ! !

Dorgon and the others who were near the city gate couldn't stand on their feet, and fell to the ground due to the shock, and some even knocked their foreheads against the city wall.The deafening noise made Dorgon's ears buzz, and he lost his voice for a while, unable to hear other sounds.

"Earth Dragon...it's Earth Dragon!" The Eight Banners soldiers on the city wall squatted on the ground in panic, looking around helplessly.

They hadn't seen so much gunpowder explode in an instant, so they thought it was an earthquake.

All the defenders in Nancheng were stunned, there was no command for a while, and there were occasional aftershocks!

Also feeling desperate is Du Du, who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.

The soaring flames covered the city gate and the nearby city wall, and the city wall on the right side of the city gate even began to slowly slide and collapse due to the violent explosion!The pungent black smoke billowed in, making the already dark night even darker.

"No, no!!!" Du Du struggled to break free from the shackles of the rope, his face twisted, and the fire at the south gate was reflected in his eyes.

"Hey, ten thousand catties of gunpowder, including more advanced new explosives. You must know that our Victory only consumes half a ton of black powder in a salvo. This blasting is equivalent to bombarding a position with a hundred naval guns. Its power is simply It's hard to estimate!" Chu Yun looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and couldn't finish it.

"You devils and butchers!" Du Du cursed at Chu Yun with red eyes, wishing he could rush up and tear Chu Yun into pieces.

"You can just scream, and no one will come to rescue you if you scream. The next battle will be the worst. You can watch with your own eyes that your capital of Dajin is returning to our hands inch by inch. , not an inch less!"

The officers of the First Brigade, who had been ready to go, understood why Chu Yun told them to stand by.According to the power of this [-]-jin explosive, the city gate and the city wall near the city gate will collapse. The next step is to wait until the explosives are exhausted, and the infantry advances to fight to the death with the Eight Banners soldiers in the city!And this battle is related to the power of both sides!

"Give me 12 points of energy, and I will kill you in the city later. If there are any escapees or those who are unfavorable in the battle, I, Mrs. Yang, will be the first to throw them to Dalian Port to feed the fish! This is the capital of the Jinren, and the name will go down in history. In the First World War, for the honor of the soldiers, even if we fight until there is only one person left, we must take it back!" Yang Tai, the commander of the First Infantry Battalion, who was in charge of the main attack task, was completely fanatical. Go straight to the Huanglong, seal the wolf and live in Xu? !
