The six hundred cannons were neatly arranged, and the black muzzles were all facing the city of Shenyang.

This is a miracle in the history of warfare, no war will use so many artillery, but such a deployment, in the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, has become a habit, but this time the artillery used, the number is huge, is the most in the previous battles, I believe that under the fierce bombardment of artillery, Shenyang's strong city wall is also vulnerable.

June 25.

The battle for the assault on Shenyang began, and six hundred artillery pieces roared at the same time, and the air trembled with a huge sound wave.

The 50,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers waited for the order to charge, and it was the glory of their lives to be able to participate in the battle to attack Shenyang.

Huang Taiji's body completely collapsed, this time it was different from before, there were still many opportunities to inspire Huang Taiji to cheer up, but the current situation, Huang Taiji couldn't see any hope, he originally thought that he would go to the city gate in person to see how brave the Jiangning camp was preparing to attack, but the body did not allow it, and Zierharang would not agree.

Because Fushun was besieged by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, Jierharang did not hesitate to give up the vigilance of the periphery of Shenyang, and sent 50,000 soldiers to Fushun to reinforce, so the total number of soldiers guarding the city of Shenyang was only about 100,000, and compared with the Jiangning battalion, there was no advantage in strength.

Fushun was attacked, which was a huge blow to Huang Taiji and Zilharang, according to Jierharang's arrangement. Even if Shenyang can't hold it, the army that broke through can go to Fushun and Zhenbei Pass, and the worst thing is to return to the white mountains and black waters where they lived before, but Su Tiancheng's arrangement completely broke their plan, once Fushun was lost. Even the loss of Zhenbei Pass, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners have nowhere to go, it is even more unrealistic to enter the grassland, the situation in the grassland is even worse than that in Liaodong, the Horqin tribe, the largest tribe in the grassland, has been defeated several times, and it seems that it cannot be supported.

Defeat is like a mountain, such a taste. Huang Taiji and Zilharang both experienced it.

The death of Dai Shan and Dolgon, it made Huang Taiji feel that the situation was not good, the only chance for the Qing Kingdom was on Haoge's body, if Haoge could successfully retreat to Zhenbei Pass, with many Manchu nobles, he could still retain the talents of the Great Qing Kingdom, and he had the opportunity to make a comeback.

When the sound of huge cannons came. The palace trembled.

Huang Taiji looked gloomy and looked at Jierharang in front of him. Slowly spoke.

"Prince Zheng, in my life, I have made countless expeditions, no matter what hardships and hardships I faced, I can find ways to resolve them, and I can reverse the unfavorable situation. But I didn't expect that when I was in my last years, I actually saw this scene, and the Great Qing Kingdom that I created with my own hands was about to collapse completely. I'm not reconciled. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister must lead the soldiers to defend the city of Shenyang, don't think that the Jiangning camp can take it, the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, and the Jiangning camp will not last so long."

"I don't need such comfort, you listen to this cannon, I have never heard such a dense cannon sound, the artillery of the Jiangning battalion once caused my Great Qing Kingdom to suffer a heavy blow, and now these artillery, I am afraid that it will completely blow up the foundation of my Great Qing Kingdom, I am not afraid of death, I have worked hard for so many years to create the Great Qing Kingdom, and God will treat me well."

Zierharang lowered his head and stopped talking, Huang Taiji said such words, he had to go to great lengths to comfort Huang Taiji, the consequences he was about to face, Huang Taiji was very clear.

"I dreamed last night, I dreamed of Haoge, I am very sober, Haoge probably don't think about being able to retreat to Zhenbei Pass, even if he retreats to Zhenbei Pass, there are not many warriors around him, it is difficult to support, Su Tiancheng made such a big determination, thought of all possibilities, how can it be possible to let Haoge maintain the lifeblood of my Great Qing Kingdom."

"I still remember many years ago, it was also here, when I talked about Su Tiancheng, at that time, Su Tiancheng was still unknown, but at that time, I asserted that he made my Great Qing Kingdom fall into many dangers, it was this Su Tiancheng, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, everything has come true, I regret it, why didn't I go all out to deal with Su Tiancheng in the first place."

Zilharang has not spoken, the deployment of guarding the city of Shenyang, he has been completely arranged, and there is no need to go to the front line to command, but the offensive has begun, and he also wants to go to the front to see.

Shenyang City is divided into the outer city and the inner city, and now it is the outer city that is attacked, even if the outer city is breached, the elite of the Eight Banners is still waiting in the inner city, and the sergeants of the Jiangning Battalion want to take the entire Shenyang City, and they still need to spend a certain amount of strength, and even pay a huge sacrifice.

Huang Taiji, who had expressed a lot of emotion, slowly stood up.

"Prince Zheng, I will go with you to see how brave the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are, and see how they capture the city."

"The emperor must not, the minister will go over and take a look immediately, if there is any other situation, the minister will definitely come to report to the emperor."

"Prince Zheng, don't you know my temper, am I that kind of person, I have been fighting all my life, if it weren't for the rise of Su Tiancheng, I am afraid that I would have set foot on the land of the Central Plains at this time."

The walls of the outer city of Shenyang soon began to crumble, and the bombardment of 600 cannons, no matter how strong the city walls were, was unable to withstand them.

An hour later, at the hour, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion began to charge.

Part of the city wall was blown down, the city gate had long been blown away, and the moat had been flattened.

The charge went smoothly, and the soldiers along the way began to enter the city.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't show a smile on his face, he knew very well that the battle had just begun, despite the bombardment of six hundred cannons, but there were not many soldiers placed on the city wall by the Houjin Tartars, and more soldiers were waiting in the city, which meant that the battle in the city would be extremely cruel, Shenyang was the capital of Houjin, and it was different from anywhere, the defense here was particularly tight, and after the Jiangning battalion soldiers entered the city, it was difficult to get the support of the common people, and they almost completely relied on their own fighting.

Lu Xiangsheng once thought that he hoped to bomb the city of Shenyang, but this suggestion was directly rejected by the emperor, and the emperor's reply was very simple, don't take into account the pleasure of a while, care about history, respect history, if the entire Shenyang city is razed to the ground, how to comment on the history after a hundred years.

The emperor's words made Lu Xiangsheng completely determined, even if he made a major sacrifice, in Shenyang City, he should not use large artillery.

Sure enough, after the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion rushed into the city of Shenyang, the speed of the attack began to slow down.

Every meter of advancement, there will be soldiers falling, Houjin Tartar used almost all the buildings, and there were constantly bows and arrows shooting from all directions, but in the process of advancing, there were also Houjin Tartars who continued to die.

The fighting in Shenyang City began at the hour of Chen, and there was still a long time before it got dark.

Lu Xiangsheng can use less than 70,000 soldiers for the project, and more than 20,000 people must stick to the outside, always monitor the city gates distributed in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and prevent the Houjin Tartars from breaking through.

Brutal fighting began to unfold in the city.

No one would have thought that this would become the most sacrificial battle in the history of the Jiangning battalion, and the destruction of the Houjin Tartars was achieved with the heavy casualties of the Jiangning battalion.

Su Tiancheng has set off from Guanning, the day before the attack on Shenyang, he took 10,000 soldiers, set off from Guanning, went to Shenyang, all aspects of the intelligence came, Hong Chengchou led the army, captured Haizhou, Liaoyang and other places, is galloping in the direction of Shenyang, Sun Chuanting and He Renlong led the army, also rushed to Fushun, everything is going well, as for the specific results, it is not very clear at present, but Haoge led the 20,000 Houjin Tartars, in the face of the 70,000 army led by Sun Chuanting, there is absolutely no possibility of divine calculation, it is only a matter of time before it is exterminated.

At this time, Su Tiancheng would not stay in Guangning, he had to go to Shenyang, he believed that when he arrived in Shenyang, the battle to attack Shenyang should be almost done.

In the direction of the grassland, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong's report has already been sent, the battle to conquer the grassland is coming to an end, and it is still struggling the most, that is, the Horqin tribe, the grassland is vast, if you rely on the pursuit of the cavalry, it is difficult to completely exterminate the Mengbaqi, but the artillery has played a key role, the sergeant of the Mengbaqi, in the face of artillery, is a little overwhelmed, and even appears to fight the "feat" of the artillery with the body, which is actually self-destruction.

Therefore, the grassland conquest battle, which was originally very difficult, seemed much easier, and there was almost no need for Su Tiancheng to worry about it specifically, he simply let Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong command.

In Su Tiancheng's view, once the Houjin Tartars are eliminated and the grasslands are conquered, there will be no large-scale wars in the Great Jin, and the rest is at most some small-scale battles.

Su Tiancheng rushed to Shenyang, and he also had a wish, that is, to meet Huang Taiji, the opponent he respected the most, what did he look like, maybe there was no such opportunity, Huang Taiji was the emperor of Houjin after all, and he might not be able to bear the end of Houjin being exterminated, and it was possible to choose to commit suicide in the palace.

But in the dark, Su Tiancheng felt it, and he would definitely be able to see Huang Taiji. (To be continued......)
