Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 522 Entering Shengjing City

After fighting for more than an hour, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng climbed up the city wall on the south gate side of Shengjing City together. A large number of soldiers spread out with bows and guns, closely guarding the surrounding situation and guarding the safety of the two important ministers. .

At this time, the east, west, and south gates of Shengjing City have been breached one after another, and the battle is extending to the center of Shengjing City. Standing on the top of the city and looking down, there are patches of fiery red figures everywhere in the city. As a unit, they are fighting fierce battles with the Qing army at various streets and alleys.

"From the time when the Taizu expelled Meng Yuan and set up the Shenyang Guard, until the first year of Tianqi was invaded by the old slaves, Shenyang City returned to the rule of our Emperor Ming after 15 years. The experience here is really embarrassing!

Although there was the defeat of Saerhu during the Wanli period, the offensive and defensive changes between Huang Ming and Hou Jin, in fact, as long as the planning is proper, the court is as quiet as it is today, and there is full support from the sage, the situation at the beginning is very promising. As for the erosion so far! "

Sun Chuanting, who stood facing the city with his hands behind his back, glanced at the battlefields in the city, recalling the present and the past, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

Although the Battle of Saerhu led to a reversal of the offense and defense between Daming and Houjin, Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Kaiyuan at that time.Important towns such as Tieling, as well as various castles along the way are still under the control of Daming. As long as the plan is proper, it will be no problem to contain Houjin in the small area of ​​Hetuala until he dies of distress.

However, there are no ifs in history, only facts.

Under the circumstance that the new ruler was young and ignorant, the courtiers only cared about self-interest and attacked each other, the front line lacked counselors and wise generals, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, Shenyang, a fortified city, declared its defeat within a day, and then triggered a series of collapses of the Ming army. , Until Jinzhou, a big city in the rear, became the front line of fighting against Houjin.

In fact, if there is an extension of this, although the generals in western Liaoning are greedy, they still made great contributions to the country of the Ming Dynasty. If Zu Dashou hadn't supported him in Jinzhou, the later Jin would have hit Shanhaiguan long ago.

"Brother Baigu's words are very reasonable! Although good generals and elite soldiers are important, the presence of a wise king is the foundation of everything. We are so lucky to have such a wise king who has been in the world for hundreds of years. This is what we do today. , the kindness of the Holy One is hard to repay forever!"

Lu Xiangsheng, who finally took off his armor and changed into the long-lost red official robe, was also full of emotions, and the thousands of words in his heart finally turned into one sentence: the kindness of knowing you.

What Lu Xiangsheng didn't know was that without the unconditional trust and support of Zhu Youjian who came across, he would have died in battle in Zhuozhou, Hebei at this time in history.

While the two were feeling emotional, a group of red barbarian cannons were pushed up along the corridor under the city wall by the young and strong men of the supply battalion. Then, under the command of Francisco, they were pushed up along the wide corridor Chidao was pushed away.

This is what Sun Chuanting ordered when he boarded the city wall to watch the battlefield just now. The purpose is to bombard the fortifications of the Qing army within the firing range with the red barbarian cannons, assist the officers and soldiers to reach the so-called Qing imperial palace as soon as possible, and capture and kill Jianzhou The head or important figure of the Eight Banners.

In order to cause massive damage to the Ming army, under the order of Huang Taiji, the Qing army used a large number of coats to build a large number of fortifications in the streets and alleys of the city.

As many as 2 defeated soldiers of the Eight Banners were collected, and more than 3 Eight Banners aged over 14 and under 50 were distributed in these fortifications and each courtyard facing the street, relying on the buildings to launch a tragic battle with the Ming army street fighting.

The tenacious resistance of the Qing army caused a lot of damage to the Ming army. There were constant casualties of soldiers of the Ming army on every battlefield, and they were carried off the battlefield by the young and strong men of the following supply battalion and sent to the built Temporary shelter.

In order to reduce the death of soldiers due to serious injuries, Zhu Youjian sent many people in the capital who had undergone short-term training and had basic knowledge of trauma treatment to the front line. Along with them, there were also many doctors who were skilled in surgical treatment. Even some of the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital.

It was Wu Youxing, Zheng Wu of the Department of Health who led this group of doctors.
He not only has to take on the important task of directing the entire wartime first aid, but also is responsible for the entire post-war sanitation and epidemic prevention work.

It is a hot summer now. Under such a big battle, there will be a large number of enemy and enemy casualties. If one is not handled well, it may cause a big plague. This is not a trivial matter.

Although Zhu Youjian didn't know how the epidemic prevention should work, he still knew the basic knowledge of epidemic prevention from later generations. After summoning Wu Youxing and discussing some procedures with him in person, the Department of Health quickly came up with an ambulance After the documents on treatment, epidemic prevention and disease prevention were submitted for review by the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies, Zhu Youjian ordered the imperial decree to be issued to all provinces as a unified disposal plan for the epidemic prevention and disease prevention of local governments.

After the ministries of the Ming army invaded the city, they kept in mind the court's decree at the beginning to minimize the killing and injury of the unarmed and prevent the old and weak women and children from being accidentally injured in the battle. However, as the battle progressed, a large number of Qing troops hid in various places. In the houses of civilian households, from the walls, trees, roofs, secret passages, etc., bows, arrows, bricks and other objects were used to inflict damage on the Ming army.

Seeing the brothers who had been with him day and night fell in a pool of blood one by one, the red-eyed Ming Jun couldn't even save his own life, so he couldn't care less about Shangfeng's order.

As various battle reports were sent to Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, the two decisively issued a military order after a short discussion, allowing firearms attacks on the Qing army guarding the houses.

This kind of firearm attack does not refer to the firecracker, but here refers to the Zhentianlei and the small Frang machine, and the Weiyuan General Cannon that can fire explosive bombs.

After the military order was issued, soon, a small [-]-jin Frang machine gun, a basket of shocking mines, and five Weiyuan general guns that tested their knives were transported to various battlefields, throwing bombs Hands are basically equipped in every team participating in the attack.

"Er Gouzi! Tell someone to tear down some door panels!"

At the corner of a street, Li Jinzhong gave orders loudly, and at the same time took off a light arrow inserted between the gaps in the armor on his shoulder and threw it on the ground. A mixed army of soldiers crouched behind him.

After entering the fierce street fighting, Chief Qian Ma Pingbei saw that the role of the spearmen was getting smaller and smaller. After reporting the situation, Liu Youde, the guerrilla they belonged to, immediately decided to change the existing team configuration, and had three underlings The military branch that President Qian belonged to was broken up and assigned to the front line.

This kind of army mobilization did not cause too much confusion, which was mainly due to the detailed planning and layout before the battle. The attacking Ming army divided the attack routes according to the region.

When the grenadiers opened up the space and the Qing army was in chaos, Li Jinzhong led more than 300 spearmen to rush forward first, and after pulling out a sufficient distance, they quickly lined up and rushed to the right, directly killing the Qing army on the right corridor. The soldiers retreated step by step. The archers of the Ming army took advantage of the situation to protrude from the doorway and began to release arrows. Then the musketeers followed up and shot, and the grenadiers followed up with firepower to support them. Subsequent teams took the opportunity to enter the city one after another.

After Li Jinzhong led more than [-] mixed people to kill all the way through two streets, he was blocked in front of this mansion.

More than ten bows and arrows flying from the wall and the roof shot down four Ming soldiers, all of whom were killed in the middle of the vital points. Li Jinzhong, who reacted quickly, hurried to the corner of the wall and was lucky not to be shot at the vital points.

Not long after, Zhao Ergou and several soldiers rushed over carrying several door panels that had been dismantled from nearby houses. Li Jinzhong took a door panel and leaned the blood-stained spear against the wall in his hands. Grabbing the door bolt on the back, he said: "Line up the door panels, and the grenadiers and sword and shield hands will follow! Connect the three thunder fuzes together, put one person at the door, and blow the door open! The rest go through the wall. Throw it in!"

"Boss, why don't we go find a gun?"

Zhao Ergou asked out of breath.

"You can't place the cannons when they come! Let's try to shoot a wave first! When the gate is blown open, Er Gouzi, you bring someone up!"
