Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1256

The shrill horn sounded to the ground, and the Mongols were about to seize the city. Bashan and others rode horses and led guards, circling in front of the phalanx, agitating the soldiers everywhere.

The demise of the Qing Dynasty was also a disastrous defeat for the Mongols. The new Mongol Khanate desperately hoped for a victory in order to boost morale and maintain their interests.

For ordinary herdsmen, they took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, generally speaking, it was still bitter herding, but for the upper-class Mongolian nobles, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to let them control the tribe.

If they cannot control the tribe, exploit the herdsmen, enjoy privileges, and satisfy their desires, this will violate their interests, and they will definitely fight against the Ming Dynasty to the end.

Most wars are caused by the greed of a few people, inciting some people, and finally innocent people are passively involved in the war, which is not a good thing for ordinary people.

This battle is important for Horqin, and it is also true for the leader of the Tumut Department.

Bashan rode a horse to boost morale, Bil Tahar also joined in, and began to promise that after taking Shenyang, there would be many rewards, such as gold, silver, silk, satin, food, and beautiful women.

The Mongols inquired very clearly that the Ming Dynasty planned to relocate people to fill Liao, rebuilt Daning River, Jinzhou, Fushun and other cities outside the customs, and transported a large amount of grain and materials to Shenyang to resettle the Han people who migrated, so Wu Keshan When it comes to fighting Shenyang, so many tribal leaders are willing to follow.

Most of these Mongolian tribal leaders had the mentality of robbing once, but when Bumbutai suggested that Wu Keshan attack Shenyang, what he actually thought was to prevent the Ming Dynasty from immigrating outside the pass.

The horns sounded one after another, and the morale of the Horqin warriors who heard the promise was high, and they shouted one wave after another, as if they were about to fight a big battle.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Ming army were waiting in full battle. Xie Qian led a group of generals walking on the city wall holding the handle of his knife, and the armor rattled.

"Guzhen, it's started!" A general gave Xie Qian a place, pointed at the Mongols advancing outside the city, and said anxiously.

The Mongol’s horns were still going on, Xie Qian hurriedly walked to the edge of the city wall and looked out of the city. The Mongol artillery group was ahead this time, so he immediately turned his head and said, “Let the brothers on the enemy’s platform and on the horse’s face, go back first. , Let the artillery team aim at the Mongol artillery group!"

The enemy's platform and horse face caused great trouble to the Mongols who attacked the city. This time, Mongolia planned to bombard the city wall for a while with artillery vehicles, destroy the fortifications on the city, and then launch a large-scale attack.

At this time, the front end of the Mongols' running group had already entered the range of the Ming army's Foliang cannon. These Mongols absorbed their previous experience, assembled the cannon carriage, and dragged it directly by horses. Soon, the city was bombarded to reduce the assembly time.

The Flang machine gun at the top of the city began to roar, and dozens of iron bullets roared and hit the Mongolian running group. The horses pulling the artillery cart were beaten and rolled, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the hissing sound resounded across the field. When it was hit, the huge gun cart exploded suddenly, sawdust flying around, and the surrounding soldiers were stabbed and fell to the ground one after another.

Cannonballs shot into the crowd one after another, causing snowflakes to splash, and screams continued to be heard, but the Mongols did not back down, and soon their artillery group approached the firing range.

The Mongols began to pull down the throwing rod and put huge stones in the leather pockets, only to see the live hook fall off, the throwing rod suddenly bounced, and tens of kilograms of cannon stones flew into the air.

A cannon stone hit the horse's face, and the bricks and stones were immediately shattered, and the city wall was smashed into depressions by the cannon stone in an instant.

Back then, the ancestors of the Mongols relied on this kind of catapult to conquer cities in the Kingdom of Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty and became the overlord of the world.

To this day, this weapon is still powerful, but the Ming army's bombardment quickly paralyzed these artillery vehicles one after another.

These behemoths have huge targets and wooden structures. After the emergence of artillery, they have no use for them.

More than 300 years ago, the Mongols used this kind of weapon, and more than 300 years later, they are still fast horse scimitars. Using this kind of weapon has not made any progress and development.

Seeing that the artillery cart was almost destroyed, the Mongol soldiers began to move forward. Xie Qian waved his hand, and the Ming army who had avoided the artillery stone attack returned to the fortification one after another.

The Ming army of the brigade returned to the wall, picked up the self-igniting firecrackers, and aimed at the enemy troops rushing down.

The Ming army watched from the top of the city, and the soldiers could see that the overwhelming Mongols rushed up like a river breaking a bank. The Mongols pushed the ladders, burrows, shield carts, leaned forward, and pushed the equipment vigorously, pressing against the city wall. .

Xie Qian looked at the equipment and was being hugged forward, and couldn't help frowning. The Mongols have invested money this time, and they have learned how to be good. They made a lot of equipment to protect them, so as to prevent soldiers from being exposed to the firearms of the Ming army in large numbers. .

These wooden shield chariots might be pierced by the muskets of the Ming army, but most of the shotguns fired by the Frang machine, especially the iron sand, could be blocked.

The Mongolian army marched forward with the sound of the attacking horn, and Horqin's warriors took the lead this time, even rushing ahead of the soldiers of Tumut's department.

The sound of "bang bang bang" on the city wall rang out in one piece, and a rain of bullets whizzed over. Put down the blunderbuss.

The Mongols in the front row kept falling to the ground. The huge ladder was hit by shells and broke suddenly, and the soldiers below panicked and scattered.

Horqin's warriors had a taste of it, but with the profuse Khan personally supervising the battle behind them, they could only bite the bullet and charge forward.

As the Mongolian army moved forward, the Mongols entered the range of their bows and arrows, and finally they did not have to be beaten passively all the time. They stood fifty steps away from the city wall, hid behind their shield chariots, and shot towards the top of the city.

The Ming army lowered their blunderbuss from both sides of the crenel on the city wall, but the Mongolian arrows could not penetrate the city wall, but the Ming army's blunderbuss often penetrated the wooden shield wall and killed the Mongolian soldiers behind.

But after all, it is better to have a shield wall than not to have one. The Mongols took advantage of their numbers and shot a black arrow net towards the top of the city. Casualties on both sides were relatively heavy. Crying, he hit the arrow and fell off the city wall.

Under the net of bullets and arrows, the Mongols with scimitars began to resist the ladder and approached the city wall.

The Mongols hiding in the burrows also rushed out and climbed up the ladders on the city wall. The entire northern city of Shenyang was covered with Mongolian soldiers like ants.

Once these Mongols reached the foot of the city, Shunzhi used long ladders to climb up, while the rest hid at the base of the wall, which was a dead end for the defenders above them to attack.

At this time, the role of the horse faces and enemy towers at every distance on the city became prominent.

Because they are a part protruding from the city wall, which is very similar to the protruding part of the Western Lennburg, they can attack the enemy who climbed the city and the enemy under the wall.

The Ming army shot and killed the Mongols who climbed the city continuously on the shooting holes in the horse's face, and the Mongol soldiers who climbed with ants fell down one after another like hitting dates.

Close to the city wall, the corpses of Horqin warriors were piled up at this time, in various postures, which was horrible to see.

The climbing corpses continued to fall, and the corpses gradually piled up, and the blood slowly pooled, forming small streams, flowing through the white snow, melting a thick scarlet line.

The tragedy of the Mongols at this time is also the tragedy of the nomads as a whole.

"Do it!" Bil Tahar saw the warriors under his command falling down again and again, and he still couldn't climb the city wall. He remembered his promise to Wu Keshan, and in desperation, he couldn't help roaring, and suddenly rushed forward, rushing up from a ladder .

People in front of him were constantly being beaten to death, and the screams were endless, but Bil Tahar turned a deaf ear to it, and just kept rushing forward, showing his bravery.

However, when he was not far from the top of the city, he suddenly dropped something black and flickering on the city. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and without any reaction in his mind, he jumped off the ladder and grabbed it. After stepping up a long ladder on the other side, there was an explosion beside him, and the ladder next to him had collapsed!
These giant weapons that once made great contributions to the cold weapons can now be destroyed by a thunderbolt.

Bil Tahar didn't care too much, bullets were raining all around him, stopping would be like waiting for death, he ran up the ladder, but didn't follow the basics, a long gun on the city gun stuck to him The body was stabbed, he immediately grabbed it, and then used his strength to jump over the top of the wall.

Bil Tahar, who has been eating meat for many years, is extremely strong and strong. He is a warrior of Horqin, but the scene in front of him made him terrified.

When he jumped onto the top of the city, the densely packed Ming army raised his gun and shot at him. He rolled and escaped most of the attacks, but he was still hit by a few bullets.

Following Bil Tahar's guards under the city, after the ladder was blown up, they hurriedly ascended the city from the long ladders on both sides, but they were overturned one by one.

Bir Tahar had no follow-up support. He was the son of the Khan who was very tough, powerful, and full of desire for victory and glory in his heart. He was soon cornered and waved his scimitar feebly.

He was the first to go to the city, but soon fell into desperation. The Ming army first threw a few guns on him, and then rushed forward, stabbing his flesh and blood in an instant.

The Ming army didn't know his identity, and Min Zhuang took his body as a rolling stone and threw it down the city. When the Horqin warriors discovered it, the morale of the army was immediately drained.

Bashan was directing his subordinates to attack, and several ladders had already reached the top of the city. Mongol warriors rushed up frantically, and thunderstorms fell on the city from time to time.

Xie Qian's reserve troops had all been invested, but at this moment, there was a hurried sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops from the city, "Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The sound of the bell was very harsh. The Mongols under the city didn't understand why, but they retreated one after another. The soldiers of the Ming army took the opportunity to throw all the Mongols who had not had time to retreat to the city.

Under the city wall, the defeated Mongolian soldiers retreated like a tide, dragging their weapons.
