Six hundred cannons were lined up neatly, and their black muzzles were all facing the city of Shenyang.

This is a miracle in the history of war. There has never been a war that used so many artillery pieces. However, in the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng and the soldiers of the Jiang Ning Battalion, such deployment has become a habit. However, the number of artillery pieces used this time is huge. , is the most in previous battles. I believe that under the fierce bombardment of artillery, Shenyang's solid city walls are also vulnerable.

At 25:[-] on June [-]th.

The battle to attack Shenyang began. Six hundred artillery pieces roared at the same time, and the huge sound waves made the air tremble.

Fifty thousand soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion are waiting for the order to charge, and it is their lifetime honor to be able to participate in the battle to attack Shenyang. Of course, Shenyang is the capital of the Houjin Tartars, and it will definitely take a lot of effort to win this city. Casualties.

Huang Taiji's body has completely collapsed, this time is different from before, there were many opportunities in the past to encourage Huang Taiji to cheer up, but in the current situation, Huang Taiji can't see any hope, he originally thought, I personally went to the city gate to see how brave the Jiangning battalion was preparing to attack, but his body did not allow it, and Jierhalang would not agree.

Because Fushun was besieged by the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion, Jierhalang did not hesitate to give up the guard on the periphery of Shenyang and dispatched 10 soldiers to Fushun for reinforcements. In this way, the total number of sergeants guarding the city of Shenyang is only about [-]. Compared with the battalion, there is no advantage in strength.

The attack on Fushun was a huge blow to Huang Taiji and Jierhalang, according to Jierhalang's arrangement.Even if Shenyang can't hold it anymore, the breakout army can go to Fushun and Zhenbeiguan, the worst thing is to go back to the white mountains and black waters where they used to live, but Su Tiancheng's arrangement completely broke their plan, once Fushun falls.Even if the Zhenbei Pass is lost, there will be no place to go for the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners. Entering the grassland is even more unrealistic. The situation in the grassland is even worse than that in Liaodong. The Horqin tribe, the largest tribe in the grassland, has been defeated several times. I can't support it anymore.

Such a feeling of being defeated like a mountain.Both Huang Taiji and Jierhalang felt it.

The deaths of Daishan and Dorgon made Huang Taiji feel that the situation was not good. The only chance for the Qing Dynasty was Hauge. The Manchus and nobles can still retain the talents of the Qing Dynasty and have a chance to make a comeback.

When the huge cannon sound came.The palace felt trembling.

With a gloomy expression, Huang Taiji looked at Jierhalang in front of him.He opened his mouth slowly.

"Prince Zheng, I have conquered countless conquests in my life. No matter what kind of hardships and hardships I face, I can find ways to resolve them and reverse the unfavorable situation. But I never thought that I would see this scene when I was dying. The Qing Dynasty that I created with my own hands is about to collapse completely. I am not reconciled."

"Your Majesty, I must lead the soldiers to guard the city of Shenyang. Don't think that Jiangning Camp can be taken down. There is enough food and grass in the city, and Jiangning Camp won't last that long."

"I don't need such consolation anymore. Listen to the sound of the artillery. I have never heard such a dense artillery sound. The artillery of the Jiangning Battalion once caused heavy damage to the Qing Dynasty. Now these artillery cannons are about to blow up completely. The foundation of my Qing Dynasty has been broken, I am not afraid of death, I have worked hard for so many years to establish the Qing Dynasty, and God has treated me well."

Jierhalang lowered his head and stopped talking. Even if Huang Taiji said such words, he had to do his best to comfort Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji was very clear about the consequences he was about to face.

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed about Hauge. I was sober. Hauge might not even think about retreating to Zhenbei Pass. Even if he retreated to Zhenbei Pass, it would be difficult to support him without many warriors around him. Su Tiancheng has made such a big determination and thought of all possibilities, how could it be possible for Hauge to maintain the lifeline of our Qing Dynasty."

"I still remember that many years ago, it was also here that we talked about Su Tiancheng. At that time, Su Tiancheng was still unknown, but at that time, I asserted that it was this that would put our Qing Dynasty in great danger in the future. Su Tiancheng, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, everything has come true, I regret it, why didn't I go all out to deal with Su Tiancheng back then."

Ji Erhalang has not opened his mouth all this time. He has already arranged the deployment of guarding Shenyang City. He does not need to go to the front line to command, but the attack has begun, and he also wants to go to the front to see.

Shenyang City is also divided into the outer city and the inner city. Now the outer city is under attack. Even if the outer city is breached, the elites of the Eight Banners are still waiting in the inner city. The Jiangning battalion sergeants want to take the entire Shenyang city , It also takes a certain amount of energy, and even a huge sacrifice.

Huang Taiji, who expressed many emotions, slowly stood up.

"Prince Zheng, I will go with you to see how brave the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion are, and how they captured the city."

"Your Majesty must not do so. I will go over immediately and have a look. If there are other situations, I will report to the Emperor."

"Prince Zheng, don't you understand my temper? Is that the kind of person I am? I have been fighting all my life. If it weren't for Su Tiancheng's rise, I would have set foot on the land of the Central Plains by now. gone."

The walls of Shenyang's outer city soon began to collapse, and the bombardment of six hundred cannons, no matter how strong the walls, were unbearable.

An hour later, at chen shi, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion began to charge.

Part of the city wall was bombed and collapsed, the city gate was bombed long ago and disappeared, and the moat was even flattened.

The charge went smoothly, and soldiers along the way began to enter the city.

There was no smile on Lu Xiangsheng's face. He knew very well that the battle had just begun. Despite the bombardment of [-] cannons, there were not many soldiers stationed on the city wall by the Later Jin Tartars. More soldiers were waiting in the city. Inside, this means that the battle in the city will be extremely cruel. Shenyang is the capital of Houjin, which is different from any other place. The defense here is particularly strict. To get the support of the common people, almost completely depends on their own fighting.

Lu Xiangsheng once thought that he could bomb the city of Shenyang, but this suggestion was directly rejected by the emperor. The emperor's reply was very simple, don't think about the pleasure of the moment, care about history, respect history, if the entire Shenyang city Razed to the ground, how should we comment on the history after a hundred years.

The emperor's words made Lu Xiangsheng completely determined that even if he had to make a great sacrifice, he would not use large artillery in Shenyang City.

Sure enough, after the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion rushed into Shenyang City, the speed of the attack began to slow down.

For every meter advanced, soldiers would fall down. The Houjin Tatars used almost all the buildings, and bows and arrows were constantly shot from all directions. However, during the process of advancing, the Houjin Tatars were constantly killed.

The fighting in Shenyang City started from the hour of Chen, and there was still a long time before it got dark.

Lu Xiangsheng had less than 7 soldiers who could be used for construction, and more than 2 people had to stay outside and monitor the city gates distributed in the southeast and northwest at all times to prevent the Jin Tartars from breaking out.

The brutal fighting began in the city.

No one would have thought that this would be the most sacrificial battle in the history of the Jiangning Camp. The extermination of the Golden Tartars was achieved with heavy casualties in the Jiangning Camp.

Su Tiancheng had already set off from Guanning. The day before attacking Shenyang, he set off from Guanning to Shenyang with [-] soldiers. All kinds of information came. The army led by Hong Chengchou captured Haizhou and Liaoyang. and other places were galloping towards Shenyang. The army led by Sun Chuanting and He Renlong also rushed towards Fushun. Faced with the [-] army led by Sun Chuanting, the Golden Tatars of the Ten Thousand Empresses had absolutely no chance of fortune-telling, and it would be a matter of time before they were wiped out.

At this time, Su Tiancheng will not stay in Guangning anymore, and must go to Shenyang. He believes that when he arrives in Shenyang, the battle to attack Shenyang should be almost done.

In the direction of the prairie, reports from Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong have already been sent. The battle to conquer the prairie is drawing to a close. The Horqin tribe is still making the final struggle. The prairie has a vast territory. It is difficult to wipe out the Mongolian Eight Banners completely, but the artillery has played a key role. When facing the artillery, the sergeants of the Mongolian Eight Banners were a little at a loss, and even showed a "feat" against the artillery with their bodies. take perish.

Therefore, the grassland conquest battle, which was originally very difficult, seemed much easier, and Su Tiancheng hardly needed to worry about it. He simply let Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong take command.

In Su Tiancheng's view, once the Houjin Tartars are wiped out and the grasslands are conquered, there will be no large-scale wars in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the rest will be some small-scale battles at most. As for conquering the world, such a goal is impossible What has been achieved is also a measure that wastes people and money. Using economic means to control the world is the best way, and then using culture to influence the world is the correct choice. Sending troops to collect money at every turn is the most stupid method.

Su Tiancheng was in a hurry to rush to Shenyang, and he still had another wish, which was to meet Huang Taiji, his most respected opponent, what he looked like. Perhaps there would be no such opportunity. After all, Huang Taiji was the emperor of Houjin, no matter what. He must be able to bear the ending of Hou Jin being wiped out, and it is also possible to choose to commit suicide in the palace.

But in the dark, Su Tiancheng felt that he would definitely be able to see Huang Taiji. (To be continued..)
