Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 256 Bombarding Jinzhou City

Inside Jinzhou City, the border residents looked at the dejected army returning to Jinzhou City, and they probably knew that this expedition had returned in vain.

"What happened, did you lose the battle again?"

"If you don't have the strength, don't start a war easily. What should we do if we break the peaceful life we ​​finally got?"

Some civilians stood on the side of the borrowed road, pointing at the passing soldiers.

"If you have the ability, you come to serve as soldiers, don't stand and talk without pain in your back." The soldiers who returned from the defeat also argued with the people.

Now Jinzhou City is filled with an inexplicable panic atmosphere.No one knows whether the Ming army's initiative to attack this time will lead to retaliation by the Liao army.

"Go and strengthen the city's defenses to prevent the Liao army from counterattacking our Jinzhou City. We have angered the Liao army this time, and no one knows what these lunatics will do." As soon as Zu Dashou returned to Jinzhou City, he Arrange subordinates to patrol and defend.Only a solid city can make it feel at ease.

"The Liao army should not have the guts to fight us head-on, and they don't even think about who will be dragged down by fighting our court of hundreds of millions of people." Wu Xiang said.

Two hours after Wu Xiang finished speaking, the troops of the Fu Liao Army appeared on the outskirts of Jinzhou City.The military flag of the Liao Army was unfurled in the Liaoxi Corridor, and the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City also saw it.

"The Fu Liao Army... is the flag of the Fu Liao Army, and they fought back!" The soldiers on the city wall shouted.

"What...the Liao army has really arrived? Sure enough, our imperial court's attack angered them, and they are coming to take revenge!"

Soon the news that the Liao army arrived near Jinzhou City spread to the whole city, and tens of thousands of people and soldiers fell into chaos together.

"Emergency assembly!" Teams of soldiers who had just rested were regrouped and arranged near the city gate. Some soldiers were scolded by the officer and came to the city wall.

The last time Jinzhou City was attacked was in the era of Nurhachi.On this day, they once again felt the fear of being dominated by war.If it hadn't been for the Liao army to hold back Houjin for them, Jinzhou City would not have gained two years of peace.

"It's all because the imperial court sent troops at will. Now it's all over. Our city of Jinzhou is going to be turned into scorched earth again."

"Damn, let me out of town, I'm getting out of this fucking place!"

Some people in the city completely lost control and gathered at the city gate to escape.

"You people, don't stay away, don't hinder us, or they will all be taken back to the prison!" Zu Dashou came with his servants and drove away the crowd gathered near the city gate.

Then he and Wu Xiang boarded the city wall of Jinzhou City and looked at the troops of the Fu Liao Army appearing on the outskirts of the city.

"I didn't expect the Liao army to be really crazy. Thousands of people wanted to attack our Jinzhou City. Back then, tens of thousands of people in Nurhachi couldn't break through our Ningyuan defense line. What were they thinking?" Wu Xiang felt her face burning hot. pain.

It was said just now that it was impossible for the Fuliao Army to attack Jinzhou City, but the Fuliao Army came.

Zu Dashou didn't say a word, watching the Fu Liao army getting closer, and then stopped six to seven hundred meters outside the city.

"Fran cannons and tiger squat guns are ready. Once the Liao army approaches, we will use artillery to destroy their will and let them see how powerful our firearms are." Zu Dashou saw the military appearance of the Liao army waiting in full force. A little bit of wanting to attack Jinzhou City.

Liu Wang looked at the city defense of Jinzhou City with a telescope.It has to be said that Jinzhou City, as the bridgehead of the Ming army in western Liaoning, has been reinforced several times, and it is indeed impenetrable. Even if it is besieged and attacked, it will take several months.

"The artillery is ready!" Liu Wang ordered the artillery to push the cannon over.

Six brand-new smoothbore guns were pushed over by the artillery, and their cold and hollow muzzles were aimed at Jinzhou City.The gunner skillfully filled the barrel with gunpowder and solid bullets.

"Sir, are we really going to bombard Jinzhou City? If we do, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the imperial court." The artillery officer confirmed again.

"As early as when they attacked Xining Fort, the war had already begun. The military leader said that if the enemy hit us on the left cheek, we should not only fight back, but also don't spare their right cheek! Listen to my orders !” Liu Wang personally raised the banner of command.

"My lord, they seem to be preparing for shelling, and they are about to leave the city wall, otherwise it will be dangerous!" The general in charge of guarding the city wall saw the Liao army launching artillery, his face turned pale, and urged Zu Dashou and the others to leave.

"The people in the Liao army are really crazy." Zu Dashou muttered to himself in disbelief, and went down the city under the escort of the defenders.

"emission!"

Zu Dashou and the others had just left the city wall when a few shells landed on the city wall!boom!boom!The city wall trembled!
Almost all of them felt their hearts clenched, as if shells exploded in their hearts, making them feel as if the end was coming.

grunt.The guarding soldiers swallowed when they saw the missing piece of battlement.The destructive power of the Liao army's artillery was so terrifying.

"Okay, let's retreat." Liu Wang looked at the damage caused by the artillery to the city wall with satisfaction, and then commanded the troops to retreat slowly.

That's right, it's not enough to drive the Ming army back to Jinzhou City with great fanfare this time. It is also necessary to give the defenders of the Ningyuan defense line a blow and make them frightened!It's not that the Fu Liao army is incapable of attacking Jinzhou City, it's just that they don't want to fight. If they offend them, Jinzhou City will not only suffer the wrath of the six artillery pieces!

"They retreated..." When the Ming army guarding the city wall was about to defend Jinzhou City, they found that the Liao army outside the city had only fired a round of artillery and then retreated.

"My lord, the Liao army has retreated, should we send people to pursue it?"

Zu Dashou heard that the Fuliao Army only wanted to bombard Jinzhou City, which made him nervous for a long time, and he felt desperate.The Liao army is really deceiving people too much, it can even be said to be insane.

"What are you chasing after, let them leave, so as not to cause more trouble for our Jinzhou City." Zu Dashou said tiredly.

Although for Jinzhou City, except for a few more cracks in the city wall, the Ming army did not suffer any losses.However, the news that the Liao army bombarded Jinzhou City spread throughout the northern continent, causing an uproar.This is equivalent to slapping the court in the face, and the two sides may turn against each other at any time.In particular, the news of the defeat of Ningyuan and the bombardment of Jinzhou City by the Liao army was sent back to the capital, and all civil and military officials were bombarded with verbal and written criticism of the Liao army.

"The hateful Chu thief dared to offend the Heavenly Master. Your Majesty should mobilize 20 troops from all over the world to Liaodong to put down the Chu thief!" Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and said in the morning.

"I have objections. The 20 soldiers and horses consume countless soldiers and food. It is impossible for our household department to spend so much money and food. Moreover, it is only necessary to recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world to reach Liaoxi from Shanxi Datong. It would take a few days. If soldiers and horses were recruited from western Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou chieftains, etc., it would take several months. By the time these soldiers and horses gathered in western Liaoning, it would already be winter and thousands of miles would be frozen. Not to mention fighting, even marching would be difficult. "The household official objected.

Emperor Chongzhen had to admit that the court was unable to mobilize such a large army in a short period of time after hearing what the officials of the household department said.But is he going to continue to watch the Fuliao army continue to grow?
