Chapter 1000: The Battle of Shenyang (4)
The city of Shenyang has become hell.
There are fires everywhere, there are fights everywhere, the double anti-anti is red-eyed, the streets and alleys of Shenyang are full of corpses, no one has to clean up, and no one has expected the fight to be so cruel.
The fighting has lasted for three full days, day and night, Zheng Jinhong, who commanded the battle, almost did not close his eyes for three days and three nights, and the number of soldiers who were put into the battle in Shenyang City has exceeded 100,000, even if he was well prepared, he did not expect the Eight Banners Army to be so tenacious.
The emperor's performance has always been calm, and when the fighting in the city lasted until the third day, the emperor finally spoke to the restless Zheng Jinhong, saying that the more fierce the fighting in Shenyang City, the more reassuring it was, which showed that the Eight Banners Army had invested all its strength, and the Manchurian nobles had also entered the final struggle.
The more fierce and brutal the battle, the more stable it will be for a long time.
The soldiers of the imperial army, on the first day of the battle into the city, paid a huge price because of the unfamiliarity with the terrain, and the advance of the battle was always blocked, and at the critical moment, some Han people stood up, including the Han people who did things in the court of the Qing Dynasty, and began to do their best to help the imperial army.
The minds of these Han people are complicated, they have almost witnessed the tragic and cruel fighting, and believe that the imperial army is determined to completely exterminate the Eight Banners Army, to destroy the Manchurian noble group, and even to completely destroy the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial army invades the city, it suffers heavy losses, but no one retreats, it is still fighting with all its might, and more and more soldiers rush into the city to fight.
These Han Chinese were involved in the fighting. Soon began to reverse the unfavorable situation of the imperial army, they were familiar with the terrain, and even knew where the main force of the Eight Banners Army was, with their intelligence, the fight became targeted, Yang He and Liu Zeqing and others began to dispatch troops. For the places where the Eight Banners Army was stationed, they launched attacks in turn.
The superiority of the Mauser gun gradually surpassed the bows and crossbows of the Eight Banners Army, and the dense gunfire meant that more soldiers of the Eight Banners Army died.
The battle continued until the third day, when the imperial army completely occupied the outer city of Shenyang, and all that remained was the inner city and the imperial palace.
Victory is in sight.
Daisho Hall.
Dolgon, Daishan, and Zilharang have never been personally involved in the fight, and Azig has already participated in the fight. The Eighth Banner Army only controlled the inner city.
Although it was already dark, the gunfire did not dissipate.
Dorgon looked at Daishan and Zilharang, and finally spoke.
"Second brother, Zilharang, we did our best, maybe tomorrow, the Ming army will capture the inner city, inlaid with blue flags, positive red flags, inlaid red flags and inlaid white flags. There were almost no casualties, with yellow flags and white flags. The losses were also heavy, only the Zhenghuang Banner, part of the main force was stationed in the palace, and the losses were not too great, but with these troops, they wanted to resist the Ming army. It's no longer possible."
When Dorgon said this, he let out a long sigh, tears forming in the corners of his eyes.
"I didn't expect that my Qing Dynasty would suffer such a catastrophe, and my father and the former emperor once thought that my Great Qing Kingdom would be able to enter the Central Plains. And this wish was about to come true, but Zheng Jiajun appeared, Zheng Xunrui appeared, and all this disappeared and ceased to exist."
At this point, Dorgon could no longer speak.
Daishan stood up, walked in front of Dolgon, and patted Dolgon on the shoulder.
"Fourteenth brother, you have done your best, although our Great Qing Kingdom will no longer exist, but this is nothing, we Manchu people still exist, there will always be successors, no one can erase the glory of our Great Qing Kingdom, our descendants will definitely stand up, at that time, we will quietly watch all this underground, watching our descendants rule the Central Plains."
The Great Palace fell into a short silence, no matter what Dai Shan said, the Great Qing Kingdom failed, the Eight Banners Army failed, the Manchu people failed, failure means losing everything, as for whether their descendants will continue to create the future of the Great Qing Kingdom, they can't see it.
After three days of fighting, some Baylor and Beizi fell forever, although many of them have been enjoying glory and wealth, but when they really fight, they still do their best.
Dorgon looked at Zilharan and spoke again.
"Zilharang, tomorrow the Ming army will attack the inner city, we are all going to participate in the battle, our ending is the same, but I think about it, whether to take advantage of the night, escort some women and children to leave, three consecutive days of fighting, the Ming army is the same fatigue, escort a group of children away with the main force of the yellow flag, or hide, looking for an opportunity to return to the north, it can still be done."
Zilharang nodded.
"We really want to preserve our descendants, otherwise the Manchus are likely to be completely wiped out by the Han Chinese, and I think this plan is feasible."
"We must escort the emperor to leave Shenyang and return to the north."
Dai Shan only added this sentence, this is the most critical sentence, as long as the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom is still there, then the Great Qing Kingdom cannot be said to be destroyed.
The 1,000 soldiers of the Yellow Banner, escorting about 300 women and children, headed towards the north of the outer city, where the defenses were the weakest, and the soldiers of the Yellow Banner were unusually familiar with the terrain of Shenyang, and they were able to avoid the fighting Ming army.
Seeing the women and children escorted by a thousand sergeants, they approached the north gate.
The north gate was unusually quiet, and there were hardly any Ming sergeants in sight.
Zilharang, who personally commanded Li Qianqian Sergeant, showed a smile on his face, it seemed that Dolgon's prediction was accurate, and the Ming army focused almost all of its attention on the inner city.
Everyone's clothes are ordinary people's clothes, from the outside, that is, there are more people, and there are many children and women, these days of tragic fighting in Shenyang City, has made the streets and alleys appear children wandering around.
The gates of the city were not closed, and Zilharan led the people out of the city quickly.
Just as Zilharan was about to order the sergeants and guards to desperately evacuate to the north, a large number of torches suddenly appeared around.
Zilharang's face instantly turned snow-white.
In front of him, a Ming army general rode on horseback and watched him quietly.
"Zheng Jinhong, the governor of the Ming Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, who is the one who came, report your name."
Zilharang was stunned for a moment, and stood at the front of the line.
"Prince Zheng of the Great Qing Kingdom, Ji'er Harang, beg General Zheng to let go of these women, children and children, and this king will obey the general."
Zheng Jinhong smiled coldly.
"The women, children and children personally escorted by Prince Zheng, I'm afraid it's not that simple, Ji'er Harang, do you think Ben Shuai doesn't understand anything, do you think Ben Shuai is a fool."
Zilharang's face changed again, he already knew the consequences.
The battle began in an instant, and in less than an hour, the surroundings of the north gate calmed down.
Zheng Jinhong looked coldly at Ji'er Harang who fell to the ground, including the women and children who were directly shot, he didn't know that Emperor Shunzhi and Concubine Zhuang, these once famous tasks in history, were all ordered by him to be killed mercilessly.
When dawn came, the battle for the inner city began.
The fighting was soon concentrated in the imperial city, and most of the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, as well as the Manchurian nobles, were all concentrated in the imperial palace.
Zheng Jinhong ordered the army to transport the Hongyi cannon, and the tragic fighting for three consecutive days, and the tragic losses of the imperial army, had already aroused his anger, and he would not be polite at this time.
The cannons roared, and all the shells landed in the palace.
After the bombardment lasted for half an hour, the soldiers began to charge.
The battle was no longer as fierce as before, and the surviving Manchu nobles and the sergeants of the Eight Banners Army had long been dizzy from the bombing, and many of them had blood oozing from their ears and couldn't hear anything.
A one-sided fight took place inside the palace.
The imposing imperial army began a merciless fight in the palace, they did not need to be captured, all those who entered the palace were the elite of the Qing Dynasty, these people could not stay, even if they surrendered.
In the process of fighting, someone recognized the beheaded Dolgu, Daishan, Azig and others.
After more than an hour of fighting, the palace fell silent.
After four days of fighting in the city, the entire Shenyang finally gradually quieted down.
The cleanup of Shenyang City lasted for two days, during which many Manchurian nobles were found out and directly killed, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army scattered in the streets and alleys did not escape the two-day cleanup.
The first day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Ruiyuan.
Zheng Xunrui entered the city of Shenyang, and the huge smell of blood in the city made him frown slightly.
Although everything in the city has been cleaned up, the situation of fighting and fighting exists everywhere, and the fighting lasted until the third day, Zheng Jinhong gave an order that was almost like slaughtering the city, Zheng Xunrui also knew, he did not stop it, and the fight was to the point of life and death, there is no mercy, maybe in your eyes, an inconspicuous child or an old man, or even a woman, may raise a steel knife to pounce on you.
Zheng Xunrui regretted that the Shunzhi Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, Fulin, Concubine Zhuang, Dolgon, Daishan, Jierharang and others, were all killed in the battle, he did not see these people, and did not want to see the corpses of these people, the palace in Shenyang suffered huge damage, it is impossible to repair it in a short time, and no one will repair this palace, as a very famous palace site after hundreds of years, it is difficult to preserve it here.
After twenty-one years, twenty-two years, Zheng Xunrui finally completely destroyed the Great Qing Kingdom, and after the tragic fighting, all the Manchu nobles of the Great Qing Kingdom were killed, and the once ambitious Manchus no longer existed.
Something in his heart was finally let go. (To be continued.) )
