The fierceness of the fight even exceeded Lu Xiangsheng's expectations.
Shenyang is the capital of Houjin, once the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion rushed in, they will not be so polite, in the process of attacking, all the methods used are iron-blooded, all the men seen on the street, whether they are wearing military uniforms or not, whether they are Houjin Tartars, let alone Han or Manchurian, all shoot and shoot, Lu Xiangsheng's order is not to bomb the city of Shenyang, but it is not said that it is not allowed to kill, such behavior has also been tacitly approved by officers at all levels.
For many years, the massacre of the Houjin Tartars in the Guannei has been innumerable, and finally the day has come when they will raise their eyebrows, and the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion who have invaded Shenyang must seize the opportunity to vent their anger.
But the step-by-step advance also means the casualties of many soldiers.
The Houjin Tatars stationed in Shenyang, have a flintlock pistol in their hands, although the flintlock pistol in the hands of the Houjin Tartar is much worse than the flintlock pistol in the hands of the Jiangning battalion soldiers, but the bullet can always kill people, which is also to blame others, the Jin Dynasty did not take the measures of the arms embargo, the Houjin Tartar can naturally think of a way to buy some arms, Shenyang is the capital of the Houjin Tartar, and the Houjin Tartar guarding here, the equipment is definitely the best.
Taking the city gate does not necessarily mean that the city has been captured, which is the typical difference between cold weapon combat and hot weapon combat, and the city wall is no longer the most important symbol.
The battle lasted all day, and the outer city was still not taken.
As the capital of Houjin, the prosperity of Shenyang is needless to say. In terms of the construction of the city, it also took effort, and the large and small buildings in the city became the biggest obstacle to the attack. After all, the battle between Ning Yuan and Haizhou was enough for them to learn a lesson.
The absolute main force of the Houjin Tartar should still be in the inner city.
When it was dark, Lu Xiangsheng was a little anxious, he didn't think that after a day's attack, the results were not very brilliant, and he couldn't order the soldiers to always charge forward, which would cause huge casualties, and he might even encounter the counter-encirclement of Houjin Tartar. You must know that the Houjin Tartars stationed in Shenyang have a total strength of more than 100,000 people, which is a huge force that cannot be ignored, let alone taken lightly.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Xiangsheng ordered the soldiers to stop the attack, strengthen their vigilance, and carefully clean up the places they had occupied. At this point, he had to take it one step at a time. There's no need to rush too much.
Huang Taiji and Zierharang did not expect that the city wall would be taken by the Jiangning camp so quickly.
However, the casualties of the sergeants were not too heavy, and according to the information fed back from Quang Ninh and Haizhou, Zilharang had already made adjustments in the process of deployment. There are not many sergeants on the city walls, and in terms of the total force deployment, half of the army is deployed in the inner city, and half of the army is deployed in the outer city.
But the speed of the Jiangning battalion's attack still surprised the two.
The soldiers stationed in the city of Shenyang are mainly soldiers with yellow flags, yellow flags and blue flags. In particular, the sergeants of the yellow flag almost all stayed in Shenyang, and the owner of the yellow flag and the yellow flag is Huang Taiji, which also makes the sergeant of the yellow flag and the yellow flag inlaid with a natural sense of pride, which is used in the fight, transformed into self-confidence and bravery, never retreats, even if it is at a disadvantage, it is necessary to fight hard.
The Jiangning battalion reached Shenyang, and it was impossible for Huang Taiji and Ji'er Harang to hide their secrets, and the most elite troops were all dispatched.
When it was dark, the situation of fighting in the outer city continued to enter the inner city.
Huang Taiji is no longer in the Imperial Palace, and has always been in the Terracotta Division in Beicheng, which is a temporary command structure, and many Manchu nobles are all involved in the battle, participating in the command and fighting.
Huang Taiji's face, miraculously appeared flushed color, Zierharang and many Manchu nobles all know the way, the fight aroused Huang Taiji's fighting spirit, to say that many generals of the Qing Dynasty, including the death of Dai Shan and Dolgon, can not be compared with Huang Taiji, when it comes to overall planning, decisive victory, Huang Taiji is still the first.
Huang Taiji personally came to the Soldiers and Horses Division, commanding the battle, it was a huge encouragement to the soldiers, the news spread quickly, so that the soldiers began to resist desperately, they all knew that their own protection was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but also the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, once Shenyang was taken, the foundation of the Qing Kingdom was completely destroyed.
After dark, Azig put forward a suggestion, believing that the Eight Banners Army could take advantage of the familiar terrain and the cover of the night to launch a counterattack, which could cause heavy casualties to Jiangning, and if it was not done well, it could force the Jiangning battalion to withdraw from Shenyang City.
Azig's suggestion was superficially good, but it was vetoed by Huang Taiji and Zilharang at the same time.
The reason is very simple, the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion mainly attack with flintlock guns, and their marksmanship is very accurate, and they have just entered the city of Shenyang, and they must strengthen their vigilance at night.
In the process of discussion, Zilharang put forward a suggestion, mainly the protection of the inner city, taking into account the outer city, Zierharang's meaning is also very clear, the Jiangning battalion has invaded the outer city, as time goes by, the casualties on both sides must be getting bigger and bigger, if too many troops are invested in the outer city, the loss is as huge, it is better to strengthen the defense of the inner city, so the exhausted Jiangning battalion fighting in the outer city, I am afraid that there is not much strength to attack the inner city, and the inner city sergeants are recuperating, and they can also seize the opportunity, Launch a counteroffensive.
This suggestion of Zilharang was supported by Huang Taiji.
The night passed, and the day dawned.
The red sun has risen, and it is a good day.
At midnight, the crisp sound of gunfire heralded the beginning of the attack.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to delay time, the emperor was about to come to Shenyang, at least before the emperor arrived, the soldiers wanted to completely take the outer city, in terms of how to attack the inner city, Lu Xiangsheng already had different ideas, he thought that he still needed to rely on the power of artillery, after the soldiers took the outer city, they must have suffered heavy casualties, quite tired, and forced to attack the inner city in such a state, there is almost no possibility of victory.
However, such a decision needs to be approved by the emperor.
The brutal fight began again.
Tan Tai led 50,000 soldiers and desperately headed all the way in the direction of Fushun.
There was a hiccup in determining who would be the commander in charge of Fushun, when the heroic king Azig asked to lead reinforcements to support, but this request was vetoed by both Huang Taiji and Zilharang.
Tan Taizhi said that he had the responsibility to solve the crisis in Fushun, at least to protect the crown prince Haoge.
Tan Tai received the order is very clear, if the Fushun city is occupied by the Jiangning battalion, do not attack, protect Haoge all the way to Zhenbei Pass, but must be firmly stationed in Zhenbei Pass, waiting for news from Shenyang, such an arrangement, in fact, in Ji Lu to draw a back road, Zhenbei Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the Zhenbei Pass is crossed, you can only return to the white mountain and black water, there is no big city in the past, and the road is becoming more and more desolate.
Tan Tai is also facing a dilemma, if the army wants to move forward quickly, it is impossible to thoroughly investigate the situation along the road, if you want to be absolutely safe, then you must slow down, but if Haoge is in danger, his rescue will not have the slightest effect, in this case, Tan Tai resolutely issued an order to forcibly march, no matter what the situation in front of, the army is a goal, rush to Fushun as soon as possible.
The distance from Shenyang to Fushun is only about 150 miles, and the 50,000 troops can reach it in one day.
The battle began without warning.
When he was still more than thirty miles away from Fushun, Tan Tai encountered the sergeant of the Jiangning Battalion, who had already ambushed him.
The fight between the two sides, from the very beginning is to fight with their lives, the meaning of this fight, everyone is clear, if it is broken through by the Houjin Tartars, the reinforcements arrive in Fushun, the battle situation in Fushun City will change instantly, only desperately block the reinforcements, once the battle in Fushun City is over, Sun Chuanting will quickly send a large army to encircle and suppress the reinforcements of the Houjin Tartars.
In charge of directing the battle was Ma Xianglin.
With 20,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers blocking 50,000 Houjin Tartars, the cruelty of this battle can be imagined.
In field combat, the scale of the charge is grand, and the Houjin Tartar has summed up the way to dodge the artillery, that is, to widen the distance of the charge as much as possible and minimize casualties.
Although artillery is the god of war, one thing is still decisive, that is, the fighting spirit of the soldiers, once the soldiers are dead, desperately charged, desperate to fight, at this time, it fulfilled what the emperor said: the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.
Later, the Golden Tartars launched wave after wave of charges.
The soldiers on both sides fought on the position, without the slightest reservation, after the bullet was finished, they pulled out the steel knife to fight, the knife edge was rolled, and the steel knife was thrown down for hand-to-hand combat, one wanted to rush over, the other defended to the death, the battle situation was so tragic that even the sun hid in the clouds, and could not bear to witness.
A whole day passed, and the position was firmly in the hands of the Jiangning battalion.
After numerous rounds of charges, the casualties on both sides were heavy.
Tan Tai's eyes had already turned red, and he was ready to charge in person several times, if it weren't for the staff and personal soldiers, he would have rushed out of the city, and Tan Tai, who was so anxious, didn't know how many times he roared, but he watched the charging soldiers fall on the position one by one, but he couldn't break through the position of the Jiangning battalion.
It is impossible to bypass this army, it will take you over the mountains and mountains, I don't know how much time will be delayed, and when you cross many mountain peaks, what awaits them is probably the black cannon muzzle of the Jiangning battalion. (To be continued......)
