Shengjing South City Gate

Since Shengjing was besieged by the Jiangning army, the south gate has become the focus of the Jiangning army's artillery bombardment, after six or seven days of non-stop shelling, the entire south gate has been a mess, in the past, it was originally tall and mighty two feet and five feet high, enough to make the city wall of four carriages parallel to the flowering bomb blown up into potholes, looking like the desolation of the surface of the moon.

There was no one on the city wall for a long time, after a few days of shelling, the Qing army defending the city finally figured out a truth, this person, regardless of his ability to lift the top or can break a thousand troops alone, in front of the shrapnel flying everywhere, he is not discriminated in the face of shrapnel flying everywhere, and now he has either become a mutilated corpse or lying on the hospital bed wailing in pain.

After seven consecutive days of shelling, the Jiangning army wasting a lot of ammunition, but the Qing army was not very comfortable, according to statistics, more than two or three thousand people were killed and wounded by the shells these days, and most of them were young and strong people and civilians who helped defend the city. You must know that cannonballs don't open their eyes, and from time to time shells will fly over the city walls and fall into the houses in the city, so that the casualties of civilians will inevitably increase, and it will also make the families of those princes and nobles in Shengjing City panic, if it weren't for the fact that the Jiangning army is now eyeing the outside of the city, I am afraid that there would have been a phenomenon of fleeing.

Today is the eighth day of the siege of the Jiangning army, this morning, Haoge, who had just had breakfast, received a report that the Ming army outside the city shot a letter with arrows, indicating that the lord of the city would be personally opened, and the people below did not dare to slack off, and quickly relieved him.

Hauge took the letter and read it, and the whole person was stunned.

This letter was written by Yang Feng, and the letter did not say any nonsense, but told Haoge bluntly, let them send Zhezhe's two daughters Makata and Chenghuan out of the city within two hours, otherwise the Jiangning army will launch a general attack today, and the entire Shengjing City will be burned at that time.

"What...... They even want me to send Makata and Chenghuan out of the city? ”

Looking at this letter, Haoge didn't react for a while and was stunned on the spot, and then he remembered, a few months ago, Yang Feng also wrote a letter to his Laozi Huang Taiji, and also asked Huang Taiji to send Makata and Chenghuan out, and Huang Taiji was furious and even drove Makata and Chenghuan out of the original dormitory, and let the side concubine Yehenala strictly discipline them, it is said that these two girls have suffered a lot.

As the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Haoge naturally understood Huang Taiji's mood and put on a ...... Wrong, it's just three green hats, that adulterer dared to write a letter to ask him to hand over his two daughters, as long as he is a man, he can't stand this kind of thing, so Hauge naturally won't say more about what happened to his two half-sisters, but now the other party actually wrote a letter with almost the same content to himself, did he think that if his emperor Ama was not there, he would accept his coercion, and he underestimated himself too much, right?

"Whoa!" Hauge handed the letter in his hand to Du Du on the side.

Du Du also frowned after taking the letter and reading it, he also couldn't understand why Yang Feng would write such a useless letter, did he think that after a few days of shelling, they would not be able to succumb, he also underestimated the courage of the Qing man, right?

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Feng outside the city received a reply, and Haoge's reply was only one sentence: "If you want to fight, I will fight!" ”

"Hey...... This Hauge really thinks of himself as Genghis Khan! ”

After seeing this letter, Yang Feng was angry, and he turned his head to Geng Bingyi beside him: "Pass my order, attack the city!" ”

"Understood...... Besiege! ”

"Siege!"

"Knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

The high-pitched and desolate drums sounded outside the city, and groups of heavily armed sergeants began to slowly approach the southern city wall, and the movements of the Jiangning army were soon seen by the Qing troops in charge of the sentry.

"Someone, the Ming army is attacking the city!"

"Quick...... All go up to the walls...... Archers ready! ”

This is the first siege of the city after the siege of the Jiangning army, all the Qing troops began to get nervous, a Qing army and the young man who helped defend the city began to go up the city wall under the officer's order, and a rolling wooden stone was also carried to the battlement, a Qing soldier with a blue flag hid behind the battlement, looking nervously at the Jiangning army slowly approaching in the distance.

Haoge and Dudu also went to the city under the escort of more than a dozen Goshha, and looked at the Jiangning army that was slowly approaching, and Haoge said loudly to the Qing army at the head of the city: "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, since seven days ago, Minggou has surrounded us. Everyone has also seen that the cowardly Ming Dog only dares to harass us with artillery these days, in a vain attempt to force us to surrender, but in fact they are dreaming, and our Manchu warriors will never give in!

Now that they are finally willing to come and die, let us cut off their heads with the knives and guns in our hands and hang them at the head of the city, so that they know that this land will always belong to our Manchurians, long live the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Long live the Qing Dynasty!"

"Hooray!"

Seeing that Haoge, who was the eldest brother, personally went to the city to cheer everyone up, the morale of the Qing army at the head of the city immediately rose, and even the young men shouted along with it, and their enthusiasm was even stronger!

Under the command of Haoge and Du Du, tens of thousands of young men and six thousand Qing troops soon entered the battle position, a pot of gold juice was boiled, and bundles of arrows were also sent to the side of the archers, and countless Qing soldiers looked at the slowly approaching Ming army with a hideous look in their eyes.

Haoge, who was standing at the head of the city, also said to Du Du with pride: "Look at it, today I will let the Ming dogs spread the corpses all over the walls of Shengjing!" ”

Du Du was a little puzzled and looked at the Jiang Ning army slowly approaching outside the city, with a puzzled look in his eyes, he didn't understand, if the Jiang Ning army really wanted to attack the city, it should be quickly decided to occupy Shengjing as soon as possible, why did they wait until now to start attacking the city, didn't they know that the longer the time dragged on, the greater the risk of being surrounded by His Majesty's army who rushed back to help after hearing the news? Yang Feng is not such a stupid person, right?

It's just that he was puzzled, Du Du still turned his head to a Goshha beside him and said: "Pass my order, let our archers shoot the Ming army carrying the ladder on the other side, and never let the Ming army easily climb our city wall." ”

"Huh!" Goshha immediately took the order and left.

Just as the archers were staring at the Ming army below the city, ready to strike a fatal blow at them with their strong bows, the Ming army stopped when they were three hundred steps away from the city wall.

"Huh...... What the hell is going on with those Ming troops, how did they stop? ”

The Qing army on the city wall was surprised for a while, didn't the Ming army attack the city? And where are their ladders?

The answer was soon revealed, and after those Jiang Ning troops stopped, a large group of people began to pour out from behind them, these people were five or six hundred people, and every ten people rushed towards the city wall with a long ladder on their backs.

"Attention...... Get ready to shoot your arrows! ”

"Archer prepare!"

The shouts of officers rang out all over the walls, and the archers began to grasp their longbows, and one arrow after another hit the bowstring.

Looking at the people rushing towards them, Hauge smiled and ordered: "Look carefully, let the people below shoot on point, and be sure to give those bright dogs a little...... Uh......"

Speaking of this, Haoge's voice stopped abruptly like a duck that had been choked by the neck, and the original hideous expression on his face also turned into astonishment, and almost at the same time, an exclamation sounded on the city wall, and many Qing soldiers shouted one after another, because at this time they all saw clearly that those who rushed forward with the ladder were not the young men of the Jiangning army or the Ming army, but ...... It's full of people.

Yes, it is the Manchurians, for this both Hauge and the Qing army on the city wall can be sure, those people are all out-and-out Manchurians, they can even see that there are many old people and children among those carrying the ladder, and behind these Manchurians, a group of Ming troops are driving them to the city wall, Hauge can even see an old man who fell behind running too slowly, was stabbed in the back with a bayonet by a sergeant, and the bloody tip of the knife came out of his chest.

"These brutes...... Wow......"

After seeing this scene, Hauge only felt a tightness in his chest, and then couldn't help but spit a mouthful of blood on the ground, and the pool of blood was so bright red in the sunlight.

"Big brother!" Looking at the crumbling Hauge, Goshha on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support him after seeing this.

Looking at the Manchurians who were forced to carry the ladder forward by bayonets under the city wall, the Qing army that originally planned to teach the Ming army a painful lesson was all stunned, and the hand holding the arrow slowly loosened, although the Qing army treated the Han people very brutally, over the years, nearly two million Han people in Liaodong were almost killed by them, but they were not so brutal that they even killed their own people.

"Hurry up, you Tartars don't hurry up and put up the ladder!" A sergeant kicked a slow-running teenager and shouted, "If you take a slower step, Lao Tzu will give you a heart-chill!" ”

Under the threat of bayonets, the Manchurians had to carry the ladder to the city wall with great speed.

Seeing that the ladders were about to be erected under their noses, the Qing soldiers on the city wall were also in a cold sweat, and an officer was so anxious that his voice changed, and he ran to Du Du and said loudly: "Lord Belle, what should we do now?" ”

Du Du closed his eyes in pain and said word by word: "What else can I do?" Pass my orders, whoever is below, and give me arrows! ”

"Huh!"

The officer ran to the city wall and shouted: "Lord Belle has an order, no matter who is below, release the arrows!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

With an order, arrows were shot towards the people under the city walls......
