Chapter 404: I Really Want to Live Another 500 Years (Third Update, Reward Plus Update)

"Wang Yuanba! You lead 10,000 border troops to besiege Dongcheng! Lu Haibo, you lead 10,000 Beijing battalions to besiege Xicheng, Li Jie, you besiege Nancheng!

In addition, the officer will equip you with 3,000 musketeers and 4,000 grenades. Under the city of Shenyang, Liu Hong gradually gave orders.

"Obedience!" The three of them bowed their heads to the order.

"Lin River! Order you to lead 10,000 divine machine battalions to besiege the northern city!

Hole Ermao! Pull out all the fifteen cannons and give me a hard bang for the city defense artillery aimed at the head of the city! Liu Hong gradually said to Lin He and Kong Er, who were already eager to try.

"Humble duty!" Lin He roared, startling Kong Er beside him.

"I have to order too!" Kong Er was stunned and was always half a beat slower.

"Give the official a spiritual point, this is the last battle, if you win, there will be no shortage of silver, knighthood, and additional officials!

Your Majesty is here, and what this official said is not half a lie, isn't it? Emperor. Liu Hong suddenly turned his head and said to Uncle Chongzhen behind him.

"What Liu Qing said is my meaning, all the generals are good at using soldiers, and I will live up to the meritorious ministers!" Chongzhen didn't want to talk, but seeing that Liu Hong gradually led the topic to him, Chongzhen had to stand up.

He didn't understand Liu Hongji's good intentions on this trip, and he took back the land he lost from his hands, and not only that, but he also had to completely wipe out Jianyu.

This is a thousand years of merit given to him by Liu Qing, yes, yes, this is the benefit of the royal conquest.

He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Not only did the expedition boost the morale of the soldiers, but once it was done, all the credit would be credited to him first.

Later generations all know that Emperor Gaozu Yongle fought five times and won eternal merits, and how many people remember which general helped Emperor Yongle drive out the Tartars at that time?

The only downside is ...... It's too dangerous!

The fiasco of Tumubao has always been engraved in the heart of the Ming Emperor, which was the shame of the Ming Dynasty, so that the later emperors had to stay in the imperial city honestly like animals in a cage.

But if anyone dares to put forward even the slightest intention of asking the emperor to take charge of the expedition, he will immediately be suppressed by the civil and official clique, and the overwhelming recital will crush this person forever.

Since entering the imperial city at the age of seventeen and sitting on the throne of the emperor, Chongzhen has never been out of the scope of Shuntian Mansion.

The scenery outside the Saiwai is unique, and after more than a month of pro-conquest, the Ming Dynasty is like a bamboo, and I don't know how much more comfortable it is than quarreling with the ministers in the court.

Chongzhen's heart was full of pride, if it weren't for the disease, he really wanted to live for another five hundred years, he wanted to see the Ming Dynasty become stronger and stronger, and see that the people under his rule had food and clothing.

"The ministers should take the lead in repaying the grace of the saints!" Many generals also felt Chongzhen's pride, and hula lala knelt down.

"Why are you on your knees? This...... Hurry up and besiege the city! Liu Hong gradually rode on the horse and looked embarrassed, these reckless men always knew more etiquette than those masters in the court when they saw Chongzhen, and they knelt on the ground at every turn.

"Let's all be flat, go and arm!" Chongzhen gradually waved his hand to Liu Hong on the horse, excused him, and the generals who received the order left separately.

Towards evening, the scorching sun, which had scorched the earth all day, finally subdued its anger.

"Liu Qing, how do you plan to attack this Shenyang City?" Chongzhen looked at the majestic Shenyang City Road.

When the city wall of Shenyang was in the hands of the Ming army, the city wall was five zhang high, four zhang wide at the bottom, and three zhang wide at the top.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, after Jianyu captured Shenyang, he began to carry out a comprehensive transformation of the Shenyang city wall.

With the help of a large group of traitors, thousands of people and craftsmen spent several years to transform Shenyang City into its current appearance.

The bricks in the lower part of the city were all replaced with stones, and the height of the city wall was increased by one zhang and the thickness was increased by one zhang.

"Minister...... Still thinking. Liu Hong gradually made no secret of it, and he also had a headache when he looked at the city wall, which was more than six feet high.

It seems that the back of the city gate has long been blocked by Tartars, and the grenade cannot be thrown at a height of eighteen meters.

Even if it is thrown up, there is a risk of being thrown down by the Tartar, after all, limited to the process, and for the safety of the Ming army, the fuse of the grenade produced by the ordnance is relatively long, and the error is also large, and the grenade is often thrown over for a few breaths before exploding.

What about cannons?

Boom - boom - boom -

While thinking about it, Kong Er, the Qianhu official who controlled the cannon, was stunned and fired the cannon.

The three shells hit a little low, and did not hit the fortified city defense guns on the city wall, and the three projectiles hit the city wall, only rubbing down a few pieces of the wall, and then fell straight down.

Kong Er was stunned and trotted over to correct the crosshairs.

Liu Hong gradually smiled bitterly, like this, if he wanted to collapse the city wall of Shenyang City, he didn't want to do it for a month.

It is estimated that we will have to fight a protracted war, which is a full five thick! It is estimated that the barrel will be scrapped by then.

Chongzhen also looked helpless, thinking that there were people who had soldiers under the city of Beijing in Menggu and Jianyu, and they all sighed at the towering city wall of Beijing.

It was also by relying on the walls of the capital that the Ming army forced back the attacks of the Tartars who coveted the Ming Dynasty several times.

Now that the soldiers are in the city of Shenyang, Chongzhen really feels the helplessness of the Tartar soldiers back then.

He understood Liu Hongjian and didn't say much, but fortunately, except for the Ming army that needed to guard against the captives in Liaoyang City, there were few strong enemies in the entire Liaodong.

As long as the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, sooner or later this city will be Ming.

"There it is! Chan thought of a solution. Liu Hong gradually frowned, and suddenly remembered the strategy when he attacked Haizhou before.

He immediately ordered Banzai Shan Qianhu to suppress the arrows and defense artillery at the head of the city with rifled guns, and ordered the three grenade players of the Shenji Battalion to gather a whole ten grenades and tie them together.

The three soldiers of the Shenji Battalion each carried three bundles of grenades, and under the cover of bursts of artillery fire, they moved in a zigzag position and touched under the city wall.

Liu Hong gradually rode on a horse and held a telescope to observe the movements of the three soldiers under the city wall.

I saw that the three soldiers stopped at the base of the wall a few steps apart, and each made a ready movement, and the three of them pulled the fuse almost in unison, and then ......

The three of them ran towards the Ming army, and the Tartars at the head of the city were hit by more than 2,000 rifled guns and couldn't lift their heads, and almost no one saw the movements of the three people.

Boom-boom-boom-boom – it took a full thirty or forty paces to run out before the grenade beams at the base of the wall exploded one after another.

Three puffs of black smoke instantly rose from the base of the wall, and the smoke and dust filled the surrounding area.

The Tartars on the city walls were also startled by the loud noise under the city walls, and the power of the ten cluster grenades was still very strong, and the smoke and dust slowly dispersed for a quarter of an hour.

Liu Hong's eyes were almost sour when he held the binoculars, and he could be regarded as seeing the situation under the city wall.

PS: Thank you for the friends who have rewarded you in the past few days, and you will be presented with a more chapter for staying up late.
