Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing Huang Taiji like this, Dorgon was already happy.

"Now that Xuanzhen's army is overwhelming, how can I sleep?" Huang Taiji looked worried and sad.

"Bring the armor, Ben Khan is going to inspect the city wall." Huang Taiji looked at the darkened sky outside the window, and said again.

Obai tried to persuade him for a while, but he couldn't persuade him, so he could only let him go.

A few quarters of an hour later, Huang Taiji appeared on the city wall of Shenyang wearing a bright yellow armor.

He looked at the city wall illuminated by torches in the night, and the sadness on his face dissipated a little.

"It has been more than ten years since Father Khan moved into Shengjing City. This is the place where my Houjin rose, and we must guard it." Huang Taiji looked at the defenders on the city wall and murmured.

Standing behind Huang Taiji, Dorgon said: "That's right, this used to be Shenyang City of the Ming Dynasty. Although the city walls were tall back then, they were not as majestic as they are now.

Since Father Khan entered Shenyang City, he began to build Shenyang City non-stop, and at the same time changed its name to Shengjing City.

Over the years, Shengjing City has become prosperous under our rule.I remember that when we were stationed in Shengjing City, Father Khan was still worried that Daming would attack, especially the bloody battle of Hunhe, but it frightened us.

Fortunately, the artillery on the top of the city was used to bombard the Qi's army and the white soldiers, otherwise we might really be beaten back. "

"Hmph, Daming is exhausted. Shengjing City is our land of prosperity. Actually, they can take it away? Daming can't take it away, and Xuanzhen can't take it away either." Huang Taiji snorted coldly, and then began to fight on the city wall patrol up.

"The order continues to closely monitor the movement of the enemy troops outside the city, and send all the scouts I can send out, and don't be afraid of casualties.

The north and south should also be monitored by me. If any enemy comes, please notify me immediately. "After inspecting the city wall, Huang Taiji stood under the city wall, glanced at the city wall, and said to Dorgon.

Dorgon nodded, "Khan, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on the enemy troops outside the city!"

……

"Unexpectedly, soldiers and horses actually came to attack Liaodong, and they directly attacked Jiannu's lair. Which general led the soldiers and horses? Could it be Grandpa Qi's descendants?"

Grandpa Qi is Qi Jiguang. In this era, Qi Jiguang's reputation is very resounding, and he is the God of War in the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Behind the city wall of Shenyang, in a noisy camp not far from the city wall, a man was lying on a kang in a dilapidated thatched hut, and said to the man lying next to him in the dark.

The people accommodated in this camp were laborers who built fortifications outside the city. They lived in some simple and dilapidated thatched huts, with a big earthen kang inside, which could sleep seven or eight people.

"I don't know, anyway, judging from Jiannu's reaction, these people must have a lot of background, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong.

Otherwise, Jianu wouldn't let us build so many fortifications outside. The man next to him was lying on the earthen kang covered with straw, his arms were pillowed, his eyes were full of excitement.

"Do you think we should take advantage of the situation to cause trouble in the city and cooperate with the officers and soldiers outside the city?"

These people thought that the soldiers and horses that attacked Liaodong were sent by the imperial court, so they called the soldiers and horses in Xuanzhen the official army.

"Oh, if only my daughter-in-law and children could live to this day. These slaves are really nothing. In order to save food, they killed all the old, weak, women and children. They should be damned!" The man thought of himself as he spoke. His wife and children burst into tears.

In order to save food, Jianu gathered all the old, weak, women and children among the Ming people and moved them in the direction of Hetuala.

It is said that for the convenience of management, they will be sent away.

But these remaining Ming people understand that this is not transferring them, it is letting them die.

It's not that Jian Nu didn't do this kind of thing before.

Chapter 483 In Shenyang City

"Do you think the imperial court can recover Liaodong this time? It's not that the imperial court has never attacked Liaodong before, but they never succeeded. If we don't succeed this time, I'm afraid we will die at the hands of Jiannu. "

Under the night sky, bright moonlight shone in through the windowless hole in the wall of the barracks, and cast it on the faces of the talking laborers.

"I don't know, this time it should be successful. How did Jiannu ever look like this before? In the past month, we have built so many fortifications, which was impossible before.

Maybe this time Liaodong can really be recovered, and I don't know which army came to Liaodong this time to force Jiannu to such an extent. "The laborer lying next to him covered his body with a dark, invisible quilt, with a look of expectation on his face.

"Okay, don't talk, go to sleep, whether we can recover Liaodong is not up to us, let's just wait with peace of mind.

Even if we start an incident in the city, it depends on the strength of the army that came to attack Liaodong.If the strength is not enough, we will die at this time. "

When the worker who spoke before finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The laborers in the barracks also fell into silence. Not long after, snoring sounded in the barracks.

The moon had risen into the sky. Although it was dark night, under the full moon, the night was not so dense.

The defenders on the top of Shenyang City are patrolling with weapons in hand, and there are various defensive weapons piled up on the city walls.

There are a total of twenty red-clothed cannons in Shenyang City, and these twenty red-clothed cannons are placed near the gates of the four main city gates.

In addition to the twenty red cannons, there are dozens of Flang machine artillery, Zhankou general artillery, tiger squatting artillery and other artillery left by the Ming army in Shenyang.

Unlike Nurhachi, who only paid attention to bow horse riding and shooting, Huang Taiji attached great importance to the production and manufacture of firearms.

During his time as the Great Khan, cannons were built almost every month.Especially after Chongzhen was violently beaten by Zhao Wen outside the capital in the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji became more enthusiastic about the manufacture of artillery.

Outside Shenyang City, there are iron-making blast furnaces and factories for casting artillery that stretch for several miles.

During the time when the walls were cleared, all these iron-making blast furnaces were pushed away, and all the steel produced was transported to Shenyang City.

Because the technology and steel quality were not up to standard, the number of red cannons cast by Huang Taiji was very small, and the yield rate was very low.

But after so many years, Huang Taiji has also accumulated a lot of red cannons.The accumulated red cannons were placed by Huang Taiji on the city walls of Shenyang and Liaoyang.

Originally, there were quite a few red cannons in Shenyang City, but these red cannons were cast too long ago, so many of them were seriously decayed, and Huang Taiji had to replace all of these red cannons.

If the red-clothed cannons on the head of Shenyang City are not replaced, then the number of red-clothed cannons on the head of Shenyang City will be more at this time.

In these years, Huang Taiji has also produced a lot of gunpowder.In order to succeed in this city defense battle, Huang Taiji took out all the gunpowder stocks and put them on the Shenyang City Wall and Liaoyang City Wall.

In order to store these gunpowder, Huang Taiji even ordered laborers to build dozens of attics for storing gunpowder on the city wall.

Not only was the city wall built, but even dozens of caves for Tibetan soldiers behind the city wall were cleared out by Huang Taiji, which were specially used to store gunpowder.

According to Huang Taiji's previous estimation, these gunpowder can last for at least two or three months.

"The red-clothed cannons should also be placed on the earth wall outside. How many red-clothed cannons do we have now?" Huang Taiji had just returned to the palace, and suddenly remembered that he still had a batch of red-clothed cannons in his hand that had not been used up, so he asked Just thinking about placing a few more red cannons on the earthen wall outside the city.

Dorgon jumped off the horse and stood behind Huang Taiji. He looked at Huang Taiji's back, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "Hui Dahan, there are still ten red clothes in the Kufu. Cannons, we have produced more than 50 red-clothed cannons in total. Among them, [-] red-clothed cannons were placed on the head of Shengjing City, and [-] red-clothed cannons were placed on the head of Liaoyang City. There are still about [-] red-clothed cannons in the Treasury.

Originally, there were red-clothed cannons left over from the Ming Dynasty on top of Shengjing City, but those red-clothed cannons were so rotten that they would explode within a few shots.

So when I implemented the fortified wall and cleared the field before, I asked people to unload those rotten red cannons and prepare to go back to the furnace for rebuilding.

In addition to the red cannon, there are more than 30 cannons such as the Frang machine.Frang machine cannons are easier to cast than red cannons, so the number of Flang machine cannons is more. "

"These cannons are our last property. Although the cannons are constantly being cast, for our future gold tomorrow, even if we use all the cannons, we will not hesitate.

Send me an order to take out all the remaining artillery and place them on the fortifications outside the city.As for how to arrange it, you can figure it out.I'll see the results before dawn tomorrow. After Huang Taiji said that, he walked towards the palace without looking back.

"Not enough time. A red cannon weighs several thousand catties, plus supporting personnel and fortifications. One night is too late." Looking at Huang Taiji's back, Dorgon shouted hastily.

Huang Taiji paused for a moment, turned around, and looked at Dorgon, "Before tomorrow afternoon at the latest, I must put the remaining artillery in place, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law."

"Obey!" Huang Taiji said all the words to this point, even if Dorgon disagreed.

When Huang Taiji's figure disappeared completely, Dorgon spat on the ground and cursed in a low voice: "Hehe, you are really a profuse sweater, and you just threw this matter to me, but you really deserve it!" .”

"Brother, we should be able to install these ten red cannons on the earthen wall outside the city by tomorrow afternoon.

However, there are still those Franc machine artillery and supporting gunpowder, ammunition, personnel, and artillery positions that may not be completed before tomorrow afternoon.

Wasn't Huang Taiji just trying to find fault with us?He didn't tell us about this before, and he didn't let us install red cannons on the fortifications outside. If he had said in advance, we would have done it together. "Duoduo, who was standing behind Dorgon, said with a look of resentment.

Dorgon snorted coldly, "Hmph, do you think I don't know? Before, he didn't tell us to install red cannons on the earth wall. Now that the enemy is approaching, let us install red cannons." Yi Da Pao, really interesting."

"Then what shall we do now?" Dodo asked with some concern.

Dorgon said: "What else can I do? Get all the laborers in the city up for me, and let them quickly pull the red cannons out for me.

Don't worry about the artillery position or anything, get the red cannon out first, and then install it. "

Under the moonlight, the barracks of the laborers became noisy again, and the laborers who had just fallen asleep for a long time were woken up again by Jiannu.

Because the ten red cannons and some French cannons were transported outside the city, there were not many laborers escorted, that is, a few hundred people.

But this does not mean that other laborers can sleep soundly. In order to finish everything before tomorrow afternoon, Dorgon asked those laborers who did not participate in the transportation of artillery to build forts and store ammunition on the fortifications outside the city. attic.

At this time, Zhao Wen was sitting in his big tent wearing ordinary clothes.

At this time, his big tent was already full of generals in the army, and Bu He was his father-in-law, and this time there were also Horqin's soldiers and horses, so Zhao Wen specially arranged for Bu He to be his subordinate. Location.

Looking at the excited people in the big tent, Zhao Wen yawned, rubbed his face, and said, "According to the reports from the soldiers and horses on the southern and northern lines, they are only two days away from Shenyang. That is to say, after two days, they will be able to reach Shenyang City. In addition to their repair time, I set the general attack on Shenyang City in three days, and launched an attack on Shenyang City in three days.

At that time, we will be mainly responsible for the west of Shenyang City, while the south and north lines will be mainly responsible for the north-south direction.In this siege battle, the tactic of encircling three and missing one is still adopted. "

There was a map of Liaodong hanging on Zhao Wen's back. He stood up from his chair, pointed to the map of Liaodong, and said to the people in the big tent.

"My lord, I think we don't need to besiege three and one. With the strength in our hands, even if we besiege the city from all sides, we can break through Shenyang City in the shortest time. If we encircle three and one, isn't it a bit too much?" Are you cautious?" Bu He looked at Zhao Wen and asked with some doubts.

Zhao Wen burst out laughing when he heard this. "You are right, relying on our strength, even if the city is besieged from all sides, Jianu is not our opponent.

However, we need to know that Shenyang City is not any other city.After Jiannu settled in Shenyang City, he set Shenyang City as his capital and increased the repair of Shenyang City.The area occupied by Shenyang City is not comparable to that of ordinary cities, even the Taiyuan City that was attacked before cannot be compared with it.

Shenyang City is located in Liaodong. Before Jiannu captured Liaodong, it had always been heavily guarded by the imperial court. The imperial court repaired Shenyang City almost every dynasty and generation.

Coupled with the construction of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, the city wall of Shenyang today is broad and tall, with a total length of 32 miles. In addition to the main gate on each section of the city wall, there are two small gates.

And we only have 6 horses in our hands, 3 of which are cavalry from Horqin and other grassland tribes who have no ability to attack the city.In other words, there are only 3 real siege soldiers. Do you think 3 soldiers can surround Shenyang City? "

After hearing Zhao Wen's words, everyone in the big tent fell into deep thought involuntarily.

"Yes, what your lord said makes sense. Now we have limited troops, and Shenyang City is a big city. It is almost impossible to encircle Shenyang City.

Anyway, it can't be surrounded, so it's better to use the method of encircling three and missing one, and attack the west, north and south with all their strength.Concentrating superior firepower and fully attacking the three city walls is even more efficient than attacking four city walls at the same time. "Li Xiaosan's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh, and said suddenly.

Listening to Li Xiaosan's explanation, Zhao Wen kept nodding his head. After Li Xiaosan finished speaking, Zhao Wen went on to say, "Actually, it's not just because of this reason. Today, according to the reports from the inspection of horses around Shenyang City, it is suggested that In order to deal with us, the slaves built earth walls and other fortifications outside Shenyang City.

Although this kind of fortification is not worth mentioning to us, it will always hinder our marching speed. Therefore, we must concentrate our superior forces and attack the three city walls with all our strength instead of besieging the city. "

Everyone in the big tent nodded non-stop when they heard Zhao Wen's voice.

Bu He suddenly realized with a smile: "Haha, after all, you are still the commander-in-chief. He thinks things more comprehensively than us rough guys."

"Haha, don't give me a high hat. This time, I just want to kill Jiannu completely in this land of Liaodong." Zhao Wen smiled and waved his hand, "Tonight I will Come here, you go down. In the past few days before launching the general offensive, you can't relax, let me release all the scouts in your hands, and closely monitor Shenyang City and the movement of building slaves in the city. "

"Obey!" Everyone in the big tent shouted at Zhao Wen, and then walked outside.

It was getting late now, and with the current battle, Bu He didn't stay in Zhao Wen's army, and led his entourage out.

If it were normal, Bu He would definitely stay and make good contact with Zhao Wen.

After everyone walked out, Zhao Wen sat down, picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it.

"Little San, I have something for you." Zhao Wen put down his teacup and looked at Li Xiaosan who was standing next to him.

Li Xiaosan leaned down and leaned in front of Zhao Wen, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal, we're going to fight now, you should keep an eye on my generals to avoid any troubles that shouldn't happen.

Also, I need to keep an eye on the morale of the soldiers in the army.Although our weapons and equipment are crushing, morale is also very important. " Zhao Wen said in a low voice.

Li Xiaosan patted his chest, and vowed: "Don't worry, my lord, I will take care of these things for you."

……

Time passed slowly, and the light shrouded the earth again.

Today's weather is not beautiful, before the sun has completely jumped out of the horizon, the sky is full of dark clouds.

Under the cover of the cloud, coupled with the cover of the cloud, the atmosphere in the entire Shenyang city was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the streets of Shenyang City, and the shops on the streets were closed long ago. From time to time, there were cavalry or infantry in armor patrolling the streets.

There is a chilling feeling in the air, which is suffocating.

"Kill the Southern Manzi, kill the Southern Manzi!"

In an alley not far from the Shenyang imperial city, a seven or eight-year-old boy in a bright yellow armor was holding a wooden waist knife and led a group of boys around his age to run wildly in the alley without even noticing it. To the eerie atmosphere in the city.

The young man's name is Shuerha, and he is from Zhenghuang Banner.His father was Jialazhangjing in Huang Taiji Zhenghuang Banner, so his family was fortunately assigned a stockade not far from the imperial city by Huang Taiji.

The teenagers following him were almost all descendants of Zhenghuang Banner soldiers.

"Eerha, you play Nanmanzi and I play Niu Luzhangjing, okay?" Shuerha stopped, pointed at a boy about his age with a runny nose, and said in a tactful tone.

"No, I don't want to be a barbarian!" The young man named Erha twisted his neck, his nostrils shot up, and said with dissatisfaction: "Why don't you be a barbarian?"

"Why do I want to be a Nanmanzi? Ama is a Jiala Zhangjing, and I will be a Jiala Zhangjing in the future. I want to be like Ama, riding a war horse, rushing into the country of the Nanmanzi, robbing their food and robbing them. Woman!" Shu Erha patted her chest and said proudly.

Thinking of her own father, Jia Lazhangjing, Shuerha became very excited.
