Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 387
"Khan! Do you see what Ming Jun is pushing?"

As soon as Dorgon arrived on the city wall, some of his men immediately pointed to a pile of dark things pushed by the Ming army in the distance.

Because the distance was too far, the defenders on the city wall couldn't see the scene in the distance at all.

When Dorgon heard the words, he immediately asked his subordinates to bring over a binoculars that he had snatched from the Ming Dynasty before, put it on his eyes, and his expression changed drastically!

"Not good! That's the artillery of the Ming army!"

In the binoculars, hideous cannons appeared in Dorgon's sight, and the huge muzzles undoubtedly showed the fact that they were heavy artillery.

Dorgon has never seen this kind of cannon, but he has seen cannons of the same caliber. Father Khan died under the muzzle of the Hongyi cannon of the Ming army!

That's just a few doors!

And in front of my eyes.Under the city of Hetuala, those Ming troops pushed no less than a hundred heavy artillery and were slowly advancing towards Hetuala!

A gust of cold air piercing through the spine instantly rushed to Dorgon's Tianling Gai, making him shudder!
Father Khan's half-headed appearance is still in front of his eyes. Could that scene be his future?

No!He doesn't want to be like that!
"Let the arrows! Let the arrows! Everyone shoots the arrows at Ben Khan! Never! Never let the heavy artillery of the Ming army come into their range! Never! Let me shoot the arrows!"

Dorgon lost his sense of proportion for a moment, and roared hoarsely.

After all, he was sweating profusely. As soon as the words came out, the Jurchen soldiers on the city wall tried their best to pull the bow strings in their hands into a full moon, and shot them out with a whoosh!
In an instant, the rain of arrows swept away like a black cloud.

The Ming army also noticed Jiannu's actions, and followed the command of the front row commander!
"Arrow attack! Shield car defense!"

The next moment, shield cars wrapped in cowhide armor were pushed to the front of the team, blocking the arrow rain.

In fact, this response was just to prevent accidents. According to the experience of the veterans in the army, when one's own army is still so far away from Hetuala, the enemy's arrow rain can't shoot at all.

But there will always be some arrows that will shoot beyond the range, and if they are not defended, it will inevitably cause unnecessary losses.

Tuk tuk tuk tuk! ! !

Sure enough, the rain of arrows landed one after another fifty steps away from the army. Except for the occasional two arrows that shot over and made a muffled sound on the shield of the shield car, the army did not suffer any losses.

Seeing the end of the rain of arrows, the front-line commander gave orders again: "Advance steadily!"

With the shield chariot in front, the army slowly pushed forward again.

-

On the city wall of Hetuala.

"Khan, the range of the arrows is not enough, and the Ming army has shielded vehicles to defend, our arrows can't kill the Ming army at all!"

Ni Yahake, one of the three capitals of the Death Battle Banner, reported the situation immediately after the arrow attack.

Only then did Dorgon recover from his panic, and when his emotions stabilized, he also understood that he had given the wrong order just now. Although the enemy had not yet entered the range, neither had his own. It's just a waste of the defense materials stored in the city, and it doesn't make any sense.

After calming down, he waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, wait until the enemy is within the range before attacking. Since the front is not good, then wait for the enemy to enter the range and let the warriors throw it. I don't believe it. The Ming army can defend it." In the front, can they still defend against it?"

Ni Ya Hake nodded immediately when he heard the words, and went down to give orders.

Not long after, a hundred heavy artillery pieces finally came into range, and the Jurchen soldiers guarding the city wall finally ushered in the range.

This time, there was no need for Dorgon to give an order, and all the commanders gave a unified order, and tens of thousands of arrows formed a rain of arrows and shot down.

And the Ming army is naturally not a fool, just heard a crackling sound, and all the soldiers raised their right arms together and lifted a small shield on their arms to the sky.

And the other people around were doing the same thing, and then a surprising scene appeared, these scattered small shields were raised in the air at the same time and actually just formed a bigger shield to block the army .

The rain of arrows fell, and the sound of clanging was endless.

But this kind of situation is not a wave. Knowing that a wave of arrow rain may not cause much harm to the Ming army, the Death Warrior Army began to shoot arrows one after another under the command.

The arrows fell rustlingly, but the Ming army was as motionless as a mountain to block them, making no other moves.

At the rear of the army, the soldiers of the artillery battalion were busy carrying the shells and putting them away, and then adjusted their direction. When everything was over, countless arrows had fallen around the army, and the rain of arrows in the sky finally stopped. .

That's all because Dorgon's inventory is running out.

So when he saw that the arrows couldn't do any damage, he stopped decisively.

Now Dorgon was so anxious that he watched the enemy set up heavy artillery under his nose, and he was afraid that he would hit him in the next moment, but he didn't even have the means to hinder the opponent.

At this moment, Dorgon deeply felt the disadvantages of cold weapons. If...if there were cannons in the city, even if it was just a few, he wouldn't be so passive, would he?
Dorgon was thinking like this, but there were bursts of roaring outside the city!

Before he could react, his ears were already covered by the rumbling sound.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Hundreds of iron ball carriers blasted towards the fragile city wall of Hetuala with full power!

After a violent impact, countless cracks appeared on Hetuala's city wall, and in some places, the shells were even embedded in the city wall, surrounded by a spreading spider web of cracks.

After only one round of shelling, Hetuala was already on the verge of collapse.

After all, this is only a small city. When it was first established, Houjin was still young and could not build a big city. Later, Shenyang was captured, the high-walled Shenyang City was occupied, and Shenyang was moved to Shenyang as the capital. It is in a stocking mode, and there is no expansion and reinforcement at all.

So at this moment, facing the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces, Hetuala seemed to be unable to hold on.

Dorgon, who recovered from the roar, only took a look at the wall and concluded that Hetuala's city wall could not stop it.

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered: "Retreat! Everyone withdraws the city wall, and we rely on the buildings in the city to resist one by one, displaying the heroism of my Jurchen Erlang. In terms of personal combat effectiveness, no Han Chinese are our opponents!"

The three major commanders were ordered to leave, but Dorgon's eyes fell on the Han Dutong who was behind everyone, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Soon, all the Jurchen soldiers on the city wall retreated.

And then another round of shelling hit Hetuala's city wall again.

Click click!

After all, the walls of this small city could not withstand such bombardment, and soon began to crumble from the cracks.

After rounds of bombardment, the city wall of Hetuala raised dust all over the sky, and then the entire city wall collapsed and shattered under the bombardment!
Many Jurchens who hadn't had time to retreat were directly buried in the ruins of the city wall, dying with regret.
