Chapter 225: On the Shengjing Palace
"Pull these little slaves over!" Ming Jun pointed to a big car parked on the side of the road and said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Ming soldiers pulled the flag man and the clothed child over and escorted them to the side of the cart. The Ming army pulled a flag man child to the side of the cart and gestured, seeing that the child was just a little higher than the wheel, he raised the knife in his hand, and the head flew up, and he rolled on the snow a few times.
"Next!" The total shouted.
A North Korean-coated child was pulled over, still a little taller than the wheel, and cut down the general without hesitation.
"Next!" The total shouted.
A flagman child was pulled over, a little shorter than the wheels. Let the whole man take the kid away. What awaits this banner man child is the fate of being slaves, and they will be Zheng Xi's slaves in the future. In the near future, Zheng Xi will send people to Oceania in the South Pacific to open up new lands. Because Zheng Xi was accustomed to living in the area of Sakhalin Island and the Trans-Khing'an Mountains, although his fief was in present-day Australia, he had lived in the estuary of the Heilongjiang River for eight years, and he had long been accustomed to the weather here, and liked the snow and cold here, so Zheng Xi himself would not go to his fiefdom.
At the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, the winter is cold, in the well-sealed castle, the underground dragon is burning, the fireplace in the room is blazing, and sitting in the warm room and drinking wine, how pleasant is this life. After sitting in the room for a long time, put on thick clothes, and rode on a horse to gallop outside on the snowfield. In the summer, it's not hot at all, the climate is pleasant, and it's not dry, and the humid air currents of the Pacific Ocean bring abundant moisture, making the vegetation dense and green as far as the eye can see.
It is said that in the middle of Oceania is a large desert, and there is no snow all year round, and summer and winter are the opposite of the northern hemisphere, and it is said that the summer there is unusually hot, and the winter is not cold.
Accustomed to living in the north, Zheng Xi didn't even want to go back to the south, let alone go to distant Oceania.
However, Zheng Xi's fiefdom required slaves to do work, especially mining, so he was merciful and left some children behind.
"Next!" The general of the Ming army shouted.
On the ground next to the cart, more than a dozen children's corpses had fallen, including flag men and North Korean coats, all of which were only a little higher than the wheels.
Another North Korean-clad child was pulled over, and when the child stood on the side of the cart, he secretly bent his knees and bent his back slightly, so that his height was not higher than that of the cart. But all of this about him was always looked at. The total was not merciful, the knife fell, the knife flashed, and the head of the North Korean coated child fell to the ground.
"You guys deal with it here! I'm going to have a look over there! Remember, don't let the little tartars slip through! He put away the blood-stained steel knife and said to his soldiers.
"No!"
After the general left, the Ming soldiers pulled the banner man and the clothed children to the cart one by one, and as long as it was a little higher, even if it was exactly as high as the wheel, they were all stabbed to death with bayonets.
In the Imperial City of Shengjing, Zheng Xi had already led people to the gate of the Imperial City.
"How's it going?" Zheng Xi asked.
Xiao Gongchen replied: "The Tartars inside are resisting!" We also have no siege tools, so we can't take it for a while. ”
Zheng Xi asked again: "How many tartars are there?" ”
An officer replied: "Back to the commander, we have just counted the corpses of the Tartar soldiers in the city, there are more than 1,000 corpses of the Tartar soldiers, according to our intelligence, there are more than 1,800 Tartar soldiers stationed in Shengjing, and there are more than 700 less!" Excluding some Tartars who took off their armor and hid in private houses, the number of Tartars defending the city was about 600. ”
Xiao Gongchen also replied: "Back to the marshal, the last general has tentatively attacked, there are about more than 600 Tartar soldiers defending the city, and some of them have just been killed by our stragglers, and it is estimated that there are less than 600 people left!" ”
"It's just six hundred Tartars!" Zheng Xi sneered, "Immediately let people demolish the houses in the city and use the demolished wood to build siege tools!" Pull the cannons on the sleigh outside the city into the city! ”
The Ming army in the city began to prepare, and some people went to demolish the houses and remove the wooden beams to build siege weapons; There was also a part of the Ming army from the city to pull the cart out of the city, to the outside of the city, the Ming soldiers unloaded the cannons on the sleigh, placed them on the cart, and then pulled into the city.
"We have so many sleds parked outside the city, what if the Tartars from inside or elsewhere see it?" Xiao Gongchen asked.
Zheng Xi thought for a moment and replied: "Let people go outside the city to clear the snow, transport the snow into the city, and lay out an ice and snow slide, so that our sleigh can enter the city!" ”
The Ming army surrounded the Shengjing Imperial Palace tightly, and there was only one gate in the entire Shengjing Imperial Palace to enter and exit, and the people surrounding the palace in other positions were musketeers, who hid on the roof, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the city wall, and if any Qing soldiers tried to slide down the city wall and escape, they would be shot and killed by the musketeers on the spot. The main offensive forces were concentrated in the direction of the Great Qing Gate, and Tong Tula and Lang Tan, who hid in the palace, and 600 Qing soldiers became the turtle in the urn.
"Erect a watchtower on the roof over here!" Xiao Gongchen shouted and commanded the Ming army to work.
Outside Miyagi, the roofs of several houses have been completely torn off, and the removed wooden beams were used by the Ming army to build watchtowers. Dozens of Ming soldiers wielded hammers, axes, and saws, and soon a shelf appeared in the room, and then a long log was erected, and at the top of the long log was a platform. The Ming soldiers also built a staircase and fixed it on a long log so that the stragglers could go up and down.
Twenty watchtowers were set up in the rooms outside the palace, each with a platform two feet long and two feet wide, on which ten rifled gunners stood.
At the same time, improvised ladders were built, and cannons that had been pulled into the city were erected and aimed at the city. The Ming soldiers and soldiers were in full swing to prepare, and after a day and a night of preparation, at noon the next day, Zheng Xi issued an order to attack the city.
Four mortars, six howitzers, and ten cannons roared, and shells crashed down on the city. Because there were no cannons in the palace, the artillery of the Ming army was fired at close range, less than two hundred steps away from the palace. At such a close distance, skilled gunners did not need to test fire at all, and fired flowering shells directly.
The shells smashed into the city and exploded, and the Qing soldiers standing on the city tower were beaten to the point that they could not stand firm at all. Immediately after that, several cannons hit the city gates, but the gates of Miyagi were so strong that the six-pounder cannon shells could not completely destroy the gates, leaving only a few pits in the gates.
