Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 174 Cut off the wings
Because of the looseness of the Jurchen tribe, in order to facilitate the rule, when the Jin Dynasty was established, it was natural to choose an area where the Jurchens were relatively dense and at the same time surrounded by mountains and rivers.

So Hetuala came into being.

As the foundation of the Later Jin Dynasty, this city provided a solid foundation for the Later Jin Dynasty to conquer and annex the surrounding Jurchen tribes.

But since Houjin captured Shenyang, this crude and humble town was quickly abandoned.

With the passage of time, this place has changed from the capital of a country to a place with a lot of commemorative symbolic significance, and shoulders the responsibility of providing for Nurhachi and other concubines.

At the same time, as the gateway from Shengjing to Laolinzi in the Northeast and Northeast Korea, Hetuala is also the place where the Qing raiders must go back and forth.

The looting team plundered slaves from the east of Shengjing, so naturally they couldn't rush to Shengjing in groups.

If it is an obstacle to viewing, the Buddha of Shisheng Temple will not be happy after seeing it.

Over time, Hetuala became a transit place for slaves.

It's just in the past one or two years. Obviously, the business here is not very prosperous.

When the black flag army arrived, the city built by the water was as silent as death, and there was almost no one outside the city.

The city is divided into two parts, which look a little better than Ninggu Pagoda. One part is low-walled residential buildings, and the other part is the military camp with the imperial city palace.

To the north is a huge lake, which is used as a natural cover, and the north is the third part of the city, which is a temple.

Coincidentally.

Zhu Youjian led the Black Banner Army to cross the river from the north.

This city was originally built to defend against the enemy from Shenyang. The natural geography it relied on did not play the slightest role in front of the Black Banner Army!

On the other side of the river, the Qing army in Hetuala Imperial City fired artillery in an attempt to prevent the Black Banner Army from crossing the river, but the defenders were obviously not enough to suppress the Black Banner Army. Finally, under the cover of the Black Banner Army's heavy artillery return, the Black Banner Army successfully crossed the river.

The first to suffer after crossing the river was the Buddhist temple in the north of Hetuala City.

Armored men and cavalry were in front, and after rushing into the Buddhist temple, they drew their swords and robbed wildly. Thanks to Zhu Youjian's order not to kill the monks in the temple at will, otherwise this former Daqing Temple might not leave any survivors.

But even so, when the army crossed the river, the interior of the temple was almost completely robbed, leaving only a few huge Buddha statues.

Afterwards, Zhu Youjian's army set up a formation in the Buddhist temple, and all the cannons were fully fired, bombarding the walls of the imperial city of Hetuala.

Since the distance was less than one mile, the heavy artillery bombardment had an excellent effect, and within a quarter of an hour the city wall of Hetuala Imperial City was breached.

So Guarja Xingjia immediately led [-] armored men and started charging!

The Qing army gathered from the outer city of Hetuala, intending to pinch the armored men with the defenders in the imperial city. However, the armored men were also equipped with heavy-duty arrows. Heavy arrows, the first line was defeated directly!
Seeing that the Qing army fled in embarrassment when the armored men were about to kill, Zhu Youjian didn't have the whole army to press up. Instead, he divided his troops and went straight to the outer city of Hetuala, in order to block the city and prevent any available cannon fodder from getting away. .

After a crushing siege battle, the Black Banner Army also found that the defense of this small city was abnormally stretched.

There are also few people in the city.

If this place wasn't for Lao Aijia's Longxing Land, there probably wouldn't even be a defender.

When the inner and outer cities were captured by the Black Banner Army, Zhu Youjian made statistics and found that there were only less than 1000 defenders in this small city, and only five small artillery pieces.

These thousand grievances didn't dare to run when they learned that the Black Banner Army was coming, because running would be the same as dying.

In the end, the Black Banner Army only stayed in this small town for one day, and then incorporated 3000 people including captives in the city, regardless of gender, into the army, and then continued to go south, and continued to divide troops to raid the Manchu settlements they encountered. , a small village and a small city.

Start sweeping the land south of Shengjing and north of North Korea.

On May [-]st, Zhengheiqi went to Wunv Mountain, broke through the Wengbao at the southern foot, and won more than a thousand soldiers and civilians.

On May [-]rd, Zhengheiqi arrived at Fengcheng, smashed seventeen forts including Fenghuang Fort, Kuiyang Fort, Xianshan Fort, Xin'an Fort, Caohe, and Dadianzi Fort, and more than [-] villages and towns in one day, winning soldiers and civilians More than [-] people.

On May [-]th, Zhengheiqi went to Gaizhou, smashed Xiongyue City, Yongning Jiancheng, and more than [-] villages and fortresses in the suburbs of the city at the same time!Get [-] soldiers and civilians.

On May [-]th, Heiqi Wuerte ordered the division of troops. One army besieged Gaizhou City, and the other went south to besiege Jinzhou City.

On May [-]th, the Black Banner Army went south and broke through Jinzhou City and returned. The Qing Navy Navy wanted to reinforce Jinzhou, but seeing the strength of the Black Banner Army, they did not dare to go ashore.

Finally, on May [-]th, the two armies converged in Haizhou City, south of Liaoyang City.

At this time, the Black Banner Army has nearly 20 soldiers and civilians engulfed!
It was also at this time that Prince Azige of the Manchu Qing Dynasty completely gave up relying on Fushun and Shenyang for defense. Instead, he forcibly withdrew [-] troops to defend Liaoyang. Outside Shengjing.

But only Azig himself knows how panicked he is now.

Because of Dashun and Ming's counterattack, Manqing was not able to spare troops to rescue Shengjing even now, not to mention the time when winter was approaching.

Right now, the Black Banner Army is engulfed in 20 cannon fodder, although only a little over [-] of them can really play a role in the battle, but with the addition of the elite troops of the Black Banner Army itself, Azig is already devastated.

In the past ten days or so, Shengjing has gone to Shuntian Mansion for help twenty or thirty times.

But the response is to ask Azig to stick to Shengjing and try his best to protect the soldiers and civilians around Shengjing.

This made Azig scold his mother every day.

He hated Zheng Hei Qi and Hei Qi Wuerte in his heart.

But when he guarded Liaoyang and tried to move all the population of Liaoyang to Shengjing for refuge, the Black Banner Army still did not march towards Shengjing.

Instead, he rushed to Guangning City in the northwest of Liaoyang, continued to attack the city and pulled out the village along the way, urged the soldiers and civilians who were coerced to loot everywhere, and quickly converted the available soldiers into armored men, and then rewarded them generously according to their military achievements.

Many who were originally slaves have been promoted several levels in a row, and suddenly became the little leaders of the Black Banner Army, making these strong and strong main forces among the soldiers and civilians who were ensnared quickly transformed into the fighting power of the Black Banner.

At this time, Azig finally couldn't bear it anymore.

At the beginning, taking advantage of the fact that Zhengheiqi's army was too bloated and engulfed too many people, cavalry were constantly sent to attack and harass, causing the crowds who were already fleeing to flee from time to time.

But Zhu Youjian still didn't care about it. After breaking through Guangning City one day, he continued to attack the Tumed Mongolian Left Banner. Unfortunately, the Mongolian princes in the Tumed Left Banner were already alert and led most of the ethnic groups in the territory to the north. escaped.

So Zhengheiqi's army went straight to Tielingwei, Sanwanwei, and Kaiyuan Old City in the north of Shengjing.

On the way, because of Azig's harassment, the trapped soldiers and civilians fled wantonly, and Zhengheiqi soldiers would be hard to control. When they finally arrived at Tielingwei, there were only [-] to [-] soldiers and civilians trapped in Zhengheiqi. Black Flag's team of armored men expanded to nearly [-]!
