The Dazhong Army is not the Ming army of the year, and it is no longer the Salhu of the year, but in order to mobilize morale, Dolgon tried his best to mention the battle of Salhu in the Jiannu army, saying that the Han barbarians are not terrible, as long as they work together, they will be able to build new achievements outside Shengjing City and reproduce the battle of Salhu that year.

Although Dolgon seemed to be full of confidence on the surface, it did not play much role in improving the morale of Jiannu, because everyone knew that Dolgon was a defeated general of the Great Chinese Army, and he was a often defeated general.

From Chongzhen's eleventh year into the customs, to the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and then to last year's Battle of Jinzhou, and then the Battle of Liaoyang, Dolgon has fought more than 100 times with the Dazhong Army over the years, but the result is that as long as he encounters the Dazhong Army, almost all battles will be defeated, and there has never been a decent victory at all!

Now everyone knows that the army of the Great Chinese Army is coming, and the soldiers are many generals and the force is super strong, they have eight banners in Manchuria, and now the blue flag is completely destroyed, the red flag is almost gone, the blue flag has not been replied to now, the yellow flag has also suffered heavy losses, the two white flag troops are still less than half of the heyday, only the yellow flag is still retained a certain strength, but those Jiannu generals who can fight well back then, at this time one by one have become yesterday's yellow flowers, has withered.

It is only calculated that over the years, Jiannu has lost the generals under the hands of the Dazhong Army, first Yue Tuo died in the 12th year of Chongzhen, and then Abatai died in the 14th year of Chongzhen's battle of Tongzhou, Haoge also disappeared after the battle of Tongzhou, and later Ao Bai died in the battle of Jinzhou, Luo Luohun died in the battle of Gaizhou last year, and Azig died in the battle of Liaoyang......

Nowadays, there are only a few generals such as Dorgon and Duoduo who can be counted as brave generals among the Jiannu, and who of these so-called generals is not a defeated general of the Great Chinese Army?

Therefore, no matter how Dolgon advocated the reproduction of the battle of Sarhu, but among the Jiannu army, there was an irrepressible feeling of defeat, although they decided to stay and fight to the death with the Dazhong army in Shengjing for their glory, but there were very few Jiannu who were optimistic about this big war.

Coupled with the serious food shortage, almost everyone in the Jiannu army can't eat, this more than half a year, most of the Jiannu are hungry is yellow and thin, even the horse armor soldiers they are proud of, at this time many people have no war horses, become infantry armor, can only participate in the battle on foot, they rely on the most cavalry advantage, at this time has long been unable to play again.

As the day of August 20 approached, the Dazhong Army and the Jiannu Army began to march to the vicinity of Shengjing, and before August 20, many local conveniences had already begun to fight in advance, and the Dazhong Army arrived at their scheduled departure place one by one, and quickly cleared the Jiannu around the starting place.

In order to reduce the trouble of logistical supply, the Dazhong Army even adopted a policy of not accepting prisoners, and all those who were caught, regardless of men, women, and children, were directly killed, and the province also had to send them to the rear to consume food.

Gradually, the Jiannu army began to be squeezed by the soldiers and horses of the Dazhong army to more than 20 miles around Shengjing, and the two cavalry divisions acted as sheltering troops at this time, relying on their mobility advantages, constantly repelling the Jiannu cavalry that appeared around the Dazhong army, and suppressed the sentinels of the Jiannu army, making it impossible to go deep to explore the actions and troop deployment of the Dazhong army.

More Dazhong army scouts, then began to carry out a large-scale strangulation battle with Jiannu's sentinel cavalry in advance, both sides tried their best to compress the other party's reconnaissance range, before the Dazhong army scouts in the fight with Jiannu sentinel cavalry, did not take much advantage, can only rely on their advantage of having a telescope, to fight an ambush in advance, in order to occupy the advantage, but this situation has begun to change dramatically after the first year of Tianyuan.

The addition of these Mongolian cavalry has made a huge change in the cavalry units and scout troops, because these Mongolian cavalry have lived on horseback since childhood, and have lived like this for thousands of years, although they have long ceased to be the majesty of the Mongolian iron cavalry, but their personal ability has not been reduced, and even compared with the semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural Jiannu, they have more advantages.

Therefore, over the years, after adding a large number of Mongolian cavalry, the scouts of the Dazhong Army have become much more powerful in combat, and they can often face the rangers of Jiannu directly, and they will not fall behind at all.

Before the day of August 20, the Dazhong Army finally completed the pre-war deployment, and squeezed tens of thousands of Jiannu around Shengjing without being able to move.

At seven o'clock in the morning of August 20, that is, at the time of the hour, Luo Li personally appeared at the front line, only to see him holding a big knife, holding it high above his head, and then swung it heavily in the direction of Shengjing, and the blade pointed directly at Shengjing.

"The whole army is attacking!" This is an order issued by Luo Li.

Several infantry divisions, having seen three red rockets rising from the south, launched an offensive operation together.

Hundreds of heavy guns, various types of six-pounder guns, and countless rockets were ignited almost at the same time, and the entire Shengjing area was filled with the roar of cannons that shook the ground and shook the mountains, and clouds of smoke quickly rose to envelop the artillery positions.

One by one, the whistling shells flew out of the barrels, flew out towards the target, and fell heavily on the heads of the Jiannu army.

At the beginning of each major war, it is necessary to carry out artillery preparations to open the way for the infantry cavalry and engineers to attack.

The artillery preparation time of the entire party lasted for a full hour, and the fierce shelling suddenly turned the defense line on the periphery of Jiannu into a pot of porridge, and countless Jiannu soldiers scattered and fled in the shelling, panicking like a lost dog, although the generals of Jiannu tried to reorganize the rout and counterattack many times, but every time they just gathered the Jiannu soldiers together, they would immediately be discovered by the observers on the front line, and immediately recruited heavy artillery to bombard, so Jiannu's assembly counterattack could not be completed at all, It will be scattered immediately by the swarm.

Although Jiannu also built a defensive line outside Shengjing City, under the bombardment of countless heavy artillery, their defense line was like a piece of waste paper, torn apart by the Great Chinese Army.

At eight o'clock, the fierce shelling suddenly stopped, and the countless infantry cavalry of the Great and Medium Army and the sappers who were responsible for clearing the obstacles for the army suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, and then rushed over the position like a dark cloud, roaring towards the defense line of Jiannu.

At this time, the soldiers and horses on the periphery of the Jiannu Army had already become a pot of porridge under the bombardment of the Dazhong Army, and in the face of the infantry cavalry of the Dazhong Army attacking like a tide, they could not stop the attack of the Dazhong Army at all.

In just half a day, the infantry cavalry and engineer units of the Dazhong Army broke through the three lines of defense outside the city of Shengjing, and more than 10,000 Jiannu on the periphery were wiped out in the face of the fierce offensive of the Dazhong Army within half a day, and the corpses that were slaughtered were all over the field.

A large number of infantry and cavalry rushed in turn, smashing the Jiannu defense line like a heavy hammer, and smashed the Jiannu soldiers and horses to pieces, driving the retreating Jiannu to flee to the next defense line.

Although Jiannu also organized some artillery to resist at this time, but the number of their artillery is very limited, as long as the artillery on the gun position fires, it will immediately attract more artillery bombardment of the large Chinese army, many Jiannu's artillery can only fire two or three shells, it will quickly be overturned by the heavy artillery of the large Chinese army, and the gunners of the Jiannu are holding their heads and running away, basically did not play an effective role in stopping the large Chinese army.

Originally, Dolgon thought that under their strict preparations, so many lines of defense had been set up, how could they be able to hold on for ten days and half a month, killing and injuring a large number of large Chinese troops, but they did not realize that all their efforts, with the cooperation of the artillery and infantry and engineers of the large and medium army, did not play much role at all.

Some of the archers of Jiannu hid behind the breastwork, and after holding up the first round of artillery preparation, they waited for the infantry of the large Chinese army to approach, and then they stood up and released arrows, so they shot and killed some of the generals of the large Chinese army, but the speed of the adjustment of the large Chinese army was also very fast, and often as soon as they were hindered by this, they immediately stopped advancing, transferred heavy artillery from behind, and aimed at these low breastop walls to approach and directly shell, such a breastwork could not block the bombardment of heavy artillery at all, In an instant, it was destroyed in sections, and even the soldiers behind the breastwork were mostly killed or buried under the breastwork.

Some of the trenches dug by Jiannu also hindered the advance of the Dazhong Army, but the Dazhong Army was also prepared, after clearing the deer and rejecting the horses, some special trench bridge cars were pushed over, under the cover of the infantry platoon gun salvo, they were erected on the trench with a bang, and a temporary bridge was paved, and a large number of cavalry or infantry of the Dazhong Army would immediately pass through these trench bridge vehicles, open the road with countless thunderbolts, blow up the Jiannu who blocked the road, quickly tear apart the defense line of Jiannu, and then immediately expand the results of the battle. Tear through the defense line that Jiannu had carefully constructed, and quickly defeat Jiannu's soldiers and horses.

All the efforts of Jiannu were quickly disintegrated with the superior firepower of the Great Chinese Army and the cooperation of mature arms.

What's even more infuriating is the logistical support of the large Chinese army, which makes Jiannu feel even more frustrated, the attacking large Chinese army can actually stop and rest on the spot after noon, and there will be a large number of fire head troops of the large Chinese army, or use wheelbarrows, or shoulder carrying, to send large barrels of steaming hot meals to the front line, and there are also special steamed bun flatbread, so that the soldiers and generals of the attacking troops can eat hot meals on the front line.

On the other hand, Jiannu, all of them are hungry and their eyes are green, every day they can only rely on some thin gruel that can show the figure of a person to barely survive, and the war is even more gruel to drink, one by one hungry hands and feet are soft, watching not far away Dazhong soldiers and generals eating and drinking, it seems that there is still broth to drink, these greedy slave soldiers salivate one by one, eager to stretch out a hand in their throats to grab a handful.

Jiannu was really beaten in a hurry, some soldiers turned over their horses, roared out of the defense line, counterattacked the Dazhong army, trying to snatch some food to satisfy their stomachs, but their actions were actually suicide, every time they just rushed out, they would immediately incur the platoon guns of the Dazhong army, and before they rushed to the front of the Dazhong army, they were knocked to the ground, and even their war horses immediately became the meat of the Dazhong army to improve their food, and they were dragged down to peel the skin and bones, and soon they would become a pot of meat and broth, It was given to the Great Chinese Army for tooth sacrifice.

After a day of fierce fighting, the Jiannu defense line set up outside the city of Shengjing City was soon broken through by the Dazhong Army one by one, and the more than 20,000 Jiannu troops outside the city, under the blow of the Dazhong Army, quickly collapsed, were killed, caught, and even appeared in front of the position of the Dazhong Army to put out a few baskets of steamed buns, which attracted a large number of Jiannu soldiers to lose their guys and fled to the Dazhong Army position to surrender, just to get a mixed noodle steamed bun to satisfy hunger.

In the end, only a few thousand Jiannu soldiers gave up their positions outside the city and fled into Shengjing City, even though they were surrounded by the Great Chinese Army on all sides, and were firmly trapped in Shengjing, a small city.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian as the emperor's edict also arrived in front of the army, Xiao Tianjian ordered the various departments involved in the battle, to be strict military discipline, not to kill prisoners indiscriminately, after the victory of this battle, only the first evil was severely punished, and the rest of the eight banner prisoners, except for the wounded, should be kept as much as possible.
