"Obey!" Zheng Zhihu yelled at Zheng Yiguan, and led seven or eight guards towards the artillery position ahead.

"The cannon is too hot to fire any more!"

In the artillery position in front of Mao Wenlong, a gunner of a 152mm cannon howitzer looked at the artillery in front of him and shouted hastily.

Beside him, a gunner who was holding shells and was about to load them put the shells back in the ammunition box.

The crew of the 152mm cannon howitzer also stopped, squatting behind the gun, panting continuously.

"Wait a while, let's fire after the cannon cools down!" The gunner just now was sitting on the ammunition box behind the cannon, holding his hat, flapping it non-stop, panting heavily.

The 152mm cannon howitzer is a heavy artillery. Just one shell weighs tens of kilograms, which consumes a lot of energy.

When the artillery stopped firing, the team members hurriedly took advantage of this time to rest.

"Hurry up and report our situation to the artillery commander." Pao pointed at the shell loader standing in front of him and shouted loudly.

The loader nodded heavily, then ran towards the artillery commander's position.

Not only was the barrel of this cannon overheated, but the barrels of other cannons also began to become hot.

The firing frequency of the artillery positions has also slowed down.

"What's going on? Why did it slow down?" Mao Wenlong listened to the gradually slowing down of the cannon fire, and looked forward with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, could it be that the cannon is too hot?" Chen Jisheng said thoughtfully.

Before Mao Wenlong could open his mouth, the artillery commander rushed to Mao Wenlong with a few personal guards.

"My lord, the cannon is too hot to fire anymore." The artillery commander stood in front of Mao Wenlong and shouted at Mao Wenlong's clasped fists.

"In this case, don't fire the gun yet, wait until the gun body cools down completely before firing." Mao Wenlong shouted at the artillery commander.

"Obey!" The artillery commander yelled at Mao Wenlong, turned around, and headed for the artillery position.

The troops led by Shang Kexi were right behind Mao Wenlong, and between them was Mao Wenlong's personal guard camp.

Shang Kexi Cong immediately jumped down, looking anxiously at the flames constantly rising from Liaoyang City in the distance.

"Why haven't we been allowed to go up? How long has it been? At this time, the walls of Liaoyang City should be blasted away. Why aren't we allowed to go up?"

Shang Kexi walked back and forth in place, shouting impatiently.

"My lord, why don't you ask?" The deputy general standing behind Shang Kexi said anxiously.

Shang Kexi stopped, pointed in the direction of Mao Wenlong, and said, "You let me ask? It's not like you don't know what kind of character your adoptive father is like. What do you think I can ask?"

"But it's not a problem for us to wait like this. It's already afternoon, and we've been firing artillery for a whole day, and we haven't seen an order to attack the city.

My lord, this is military merit, if you go up later, I don’t know how much military merit you will lose. "The lieutenant chattered anxiously.

Shang Kexi patted his thigh, and said anxiously: "It's useless for you to tell me these things, do you think I don't want to rush into the city early? But the foster father didn't give the order, what can I do? I also want to rush into the city .”

The sun in the sky gradually slanted westward, and when the artillery on the artillery position was almost cooled down, it roared again.

The short-term tranquility in Liaoyang City was broken again, and the shells flew towards Liaoyang City again.

If Mao Wenlong had placed the main bombing target on the city wall, the city wall would have collapsed long ago.

"This city cannot be defended, let's run!"

In a cave of Tibetan soldiers behind the east wall of Liaoyang City, a Niu Luzhangjing squatted in the corner of the cave, looking at Jialazhangjing standing next to him with a panicked expression.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of artillery fire in the city resounded non-stop, and the sound of artillery fire on the city wall became sparse.

Jialazhangjing, who was standing next to Niuluzhangjing, looked towards the city and sighed, "Escape? How to escape? Tell me how to escape? The enemy army outside the city surrounded the city, tell me how to escape? If we escape now If you go out, you are courting death."

"But it's not a problem for us to stay here all the time, we have no power to fight back at all." Niu Luzhangjing said with a look of despair.

"How come I don't know what you said? But if we don't defend Liaoyang City, then Shengjing City will definitely be lost. This group of people will definitely move northward and attack Shenyang City.

As long as Liaoyang City is not taken, then Shenyang City is safe.One more day we guard, Shenyang City will be safer for one more day. "Jia Lazhangjing looked in the direction of Shenyang City, clenched his right hand into a fist, and his eyes were firm.

"My lord, I should say something that shouldn't be said. Do you think Shengjing City can hold this kind of firepower?"

"To shut up!"

As soon as Niu Luzhangjing finished speaking, Jialazhangjing scolded him with a straight face.

"Shengjing City is our capital, and there are 15 troops in it. If the Great Khan recruits some young men in Shengjing City, the number of defenders can exceed 15.

With so many soldiers and horses around, how could Shengjing City not be able to defend?Shengjing City is our capital. In the past few years, Shengjing City has been built by us. How can we not defend it?

Regardless of the aggressiveness of the enemy troops outside the city, it is almost impossible to break through Shengjing City. "

Jia Lazhangjing never thought that Shengjing City would fall. In his opinion, there are 15 troops in Shengjing City, and the city of Shengjing City is also the tallest and most generous city in Liaodong. There is also Huang Taiji personally commanding the city. .

Under such circumstances, Sheng Jingcheng dare not say that it is impenetrable, but it is not an easy task to break through it within a short period of time.

"But what if? What if Shengjing City is breached?" Niu Luzhangjing said with lingering fear.

"There is no chance, just shut up. Let me tell you, it is impossible to escape. Liaoyang City is the gateway to Shengjing City. Once Liaoyang City falls, Shengjing City will definitely be lost. Even if we can escape, Da Khan will not be able to escape." Will not spare us.

When we entered Liaoyang City, the Great Khan passed down an order to let us guard Liaoyang City. Let me tell you, my family members are all in Shenyang City.

Whether it's for my family or for Houjin, I will be nailed to Liaoyang City to prevent the enemy troops from outside the city from entering. "

Jia Lazhangjing pointed at Niuluzhangjing and yelled angrily.

"Yes yes yes, listen to you, listen to you!" Niu Luzhangjing hurriedly stood up, and gave a few military salutes to Jialazhangjing.

When the sun completely set on the western mountain, the sky gradually darkened.

It didn't take long for the night to cover the ground.

In the dark night, the fire light produced by the artillery fire and the fire light produced by the explosion of the cannonball are unusually obvious.

Although it was dark, Mao Wenlong did not stop shelling.

If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that Liaoyang City is like firecrackers during the New Year, with fire lights constantly appearing.

There were continuous explosions in the city, mixed with screams, cries, and curses.

In addition to the [-] troops who had guarded the city, there were almost [-] slaves living in Liaoyang City.

There were not so many slave-building people in Liaoyang City before. The reason why there are so many now is because Huang Taiji ordered people to hit all the slave-building people scattered in the border of Liaodong in the two cities of Shenyang City and Liaoyang City. middle.

Most of the [-] Jiannu people were old and weak women and children. As for the young and strong, they were all brought into the army by Huang Taiji.

When did these slaves in the city experience this level of baptism?

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the Jiannu people in the city ran around in a panic, trying to find a place without artillery fire.As for the slave soldiers in the city, they hid in the caves behind the city wall and dared not come out.

But how can there be eggs under the overturned nest?Liaoyang City was under the cover of Mao Wenlong's artillery fire, and it was extremely difficult to find a place without artillery fire.

The Jiannu in the city became more and more desperate under the bombardment.

Some of the older Jiannu people even gave up on running away, just sat there and waited to die.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the explosions in the city did not decrease with the change of time.

When the sun rose again, Mao Wenlong came to the rear of the artillery position.

Holding up his binoculars and looking at the city wall of Liaoyang City, he murmured, "It's been a day and a night of bombing, the Jiannu in the city should have been bombed almost."

"My lord, our shells won't last long, I think we'd better rush in as soon as possible." Deputy General Chen Jisheng said.

Chapter 504 Chasing down Dorgon

Mao Wenlong said: "You are right. Now there are not many shells left, and the city is almost bombed. It's time to start bombing the city walls and gates."

After Mao Wenlong finished speaking, he looked at the messenger behind him and shouted loudly: "Go on, order all the artillery to bombard the city wall and gate with all their strength, and blast this turtle shell for me in the shortest possible time."

"As ordered!"

The messenger standing behind Mao Wenlong yelled at Mao Wenlong, and rode his horse towards the distance.

After a quarter of an hour, almost all the artillery turned around and set their targets on the city walls and gates.

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of bullets were fired, and each shell flew towards the city wall and gate.

When the sun rose to the sky, the gates of Liaoyang City were opened, and the city walls were bombed with gaps everywhere.

The section of the city wall that Mao Wenlong was in charge of was even blown down.

Mao Wenlong looked at the bombed city walls and gates and laughed.

"Hahaha, stop firing, stop firing, prepare to enter the city, order the artillery position, stop firing!"

Almost two quarters of an hour later, the artillery position stopped shelling.

Shang Kexi rode a horse and stood in front of his troops. When the artillery stopped firing, Shang Kexi's face was full of excitement.

"Haha, the bombardment is over. It is estimated that the siege is about to begin. Send the order, and everyone prepares for me to attack the city." Shang Kexi grabbed his head, looked at the lieutenant general who was behind him, and shouted.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Mao Wenlong pulled out the waist knife from his waist. He pointed at Liaoyang City in front of him, and shouted to the messenger behind him: "Order the whole army, kill me!"

As soon as Mao Wenlong finished speaking, the snare drum, which was more than ten steps behind him, rang.

"March with drums, ready to attack, everyone get ready!" Shang Kexi drew out the waist knife from his waist, squinting his eyes and looking at Liaoyang City in front of him.

After a while, Mao Wenlong's messenger came to Shang Kexi's side.

"My lord has an order, attack the city immediately!" The messenger yelled at Shang Kexi, then turned around and headed towards Mao Wenlong.

Looking at the messengers leaving, Shang Kexi brandished the waist knife in his hand, spurred the horse, and charged forward.

"Kill, kill, go into the city, kill me!"

Shang Kexi rode on the horse and shouted hoarsely.

There are about 3000 troops under Shang Kexi's command, and these 3000 are all cavalry.

These more than 3000 cavalry were running on the ground, and the sound of horseshoes gathered together, like thunder in the sky.

"Kill!!!"

After Shang Kexi rushed out, the infantry behind him also moved.

All of a sudden, all the soldiers and horses under Mao Wenlong started to move.

In addition to Mao Wenlong's troops, Zheng Yiguan, Zhou Laoliu, Zhang He and Wang Chong's troops also rushed towards Liaoyang City at the same time.

"My lord, the city has been attacked, they have attacked the city, what shall we do?"

A Jiannu soldier stood a dozen steps behind the broken city gate. He looked at the soldiers and horses rushing towards this side through the city gate, and hurriedly ran towards Niu Luzhangjing behind.

Liaoyang City was bombed by Mao Wenlong for a day and a night. Although the Jiannu people and Jiannu soldiers lost a lot, many Jiannu soldiers survived.

Almost all of these surviving Jiannu soldiers were gathered near the Tibetan soldier cave behind the city wall.

"What else can we do? Run, what's the point of fighting this kind of battle? Run!" Niu Luzhangjing pulled out the knife from his waist, and ran away without saying a word.

The soldiers under Niu Luzhangjing's command saw that the officers had run away, and they had no intention of resisting one by one, and followed behind Niu Luzhangjing, and ran towards the city.

Not long after, soldiers and horses rushed into Liaoyang City.

Mao Wenlong, Zheng Yiguan, Zhou Laoliu, Zhang He, and Wang Chong didn't leave any soldiers behind, so they all rushed into the city.

Their soldiers and horses rushed through the broken city gates, the collapsed city walls, and rushed into the city like a tide.

The Jiannu in the city had been bombed all day and night, and they were already sluggish. Now that Mao Wenlong and others' soldiers and horses are in high morale, these Jiannu can't resist at all.

It was almost a one-touch defeat, and the Jiannu in the city scattered and fled without even touching Mao Wenlong's soldiers and horses.

Because they were Jian slaves, Mao Wenlong and his soldiers didn't have any scruples after rushing into the city. As long as anyone dared to resist, they would kill them immediately.

Liaoyang City suddenly became a killing field, the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke fused together, filling Liaoyang City.

Originally there were Ming people in Liaoyang City, but before that, Huang Taiji asked people to get all the Ming people in Liaoyang City into Shenyang City, and asked these people to build the fortifications of Shenyang City.So now, there is not a Ming person in Liaoyang City.

The fighting lasted for a day and a night. When the sun rose again, Mao Wenlong and the others had completely occupied Liaoyang City.

"Haha, Liaoyang City has finally been taken down!" Mao Wenlong rode a horse and led his guards to the gate of Liaoyang City.

Before that, Mao Wenlong did not enter the city with the soldiers, but stayed outside the city.

It wasn't that Mao Wenlong didn't want to go to the city, but Mao Wenlong's age didn't allow it. If he was ten years younger, Mao Wenlong would definitely take the lead and go to the city.

"grown ups!"
