    Soon after he ordered people to shoot Fan Wencheng to death in the city, who was about to die tragically, Huang Taiji regretted it. He found that he had fallen into the opponent's plan. This should be the method the Ming army came up with to provoke the generals.  But the order has been issued and the matter has been done. As the Great Khan, he naturally cannot go back on his words.

    Before Huang Taiji could get far from the city, someone ran over in panic, holding an ultimatum in his hand: "Great Khan, the Ming army outside the city has sent another letter. They want to  Khan, you" He didn't dare to say the next words.  []

    Huang Taiji's heart sank. He took the piece of paper and glanced at it, then staggered at his feet.  Everything happened as he feared. The Ming army seized on this and actually asked himself, the Great Jin Khan, to go out of the city to surrender. This was something he could not accept.  Not to mention that his life and death will be in the hands of others after leaving the city. Even in terms of face, it is impossible for him to go out in white clothes with his hair disheveled.

    After being silent for a long time, Huang Taiji asked solemnly: "How many people know about this matter?"

    "The Ming army shot several letters in. Now the soldiers at the top of the city have spread the news."

    "What!" Huang Taiji's heart sank again when he heard this: "What a ruthless method. This is completely to create internal differences within Daikin so that they can reap the benefits." He knew very well that once those who had been frightened were over  If the courageous powerful people know this, they will definitely treat them like Fan Wencheng.  They have always been coveting Khan's position, and now that they have such an opportunity to trick him to death, these people will naturally not let it go.

    "Come here, hurry up and mobilize both the Zhenghuang and Zhengbai troops of this Khan!" Huang Taiji made a decision quickly.  The only way now is to show his strength so that those with ulterior motives dare not attack him.  But in this case, Shengjing City may not be able to defend it.

    While the Zhenghuang and Zhengbai groups were mobilizing, the other six groups in the Eight Banners were also ordered to move.  Those dignitaries knew very well how Huang Taiji would react, so they immediately mobilized their troops and horses, hoping to use them to force the palace and force Huang Taiji to submit.  So in the end, in addition to the tens of thousands of troops who were guarding the city to guard against the Ming army's attack, tens of thousands of other Eight Banners elite soldiers arrived in front of the palace and confronted each other.

    Although the two sides were at war with each other, they did not actually take action because there were still enemies outside.  Among the dignitaries, a few people with high status and some relationship with Huang Taiji were selected and entered the palace to persuade him, hoping that he would put the overall situation first and sacrifice his ego to save the entire Daikin.

    "Great Khan, Fan Wencheng was shot dead by one of your cronies. If the Ming army wants to make a fuss about this matter, you should bear full responsibility! What's more, as the Great Kim Khan, you will naturally do it for me.  Da Jin has devoted all his energy, how could he be like this?" Nurhachi's second son Daishan, who had always had issues with Huang Taiji, was the first to speak.

    Many other people also agreed. They had long been dissatisfied with Huang Taiji taking this position, and now they naturally wanted to add insult to injury.  Amidst the noise of these powerful people, a young voice overshadowed everything else: "Shit, do you think I don't know what you think? Why do you do it for me, Daikin, and not for your own rights? I am doing this for Daikin."  How much care, but you don't take it to heart at all, and now you do things in front of the enemy that hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy, are you still my ministers of Dai Jin?" It was Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge who asked back.  road.  Because he had fought several battles, he had some status and was able to refute in front of everyone.

    "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be you. It would be good if we didn't pin the blame on you. If you hadn't ignored the advice and insisted on leading troops to invade south, why would we be in today's situation? Now you not only don't think about it,  It's our own mistakes that have made up for our faults. How can this really be unreasonable?" Someone immediately mocked in a cold voice.  Others also nodded in agreement, saying that all the disasters were caused by Hauge, and he should also take responsibility.

    "You" Hauge became even more angry when he saw this, and almost pulled out his knife.

    At this time, Huang Taiji finally spoke: "Shut up!" Although everyone has been coveting his position, he is the khan of Daijin after all, and his prestige is still not small. After he shouted,  Everyone stopped talking and looked at Huang Taiji to see what he had to say.

    "I admit that Fan Wencheng's death was indeed instigated by me, but this is not the reason why the Ming army wants to attack us. Can't you really see through this? The Ming army is just making an excuse.  They have never thought about withdrawing their troops. A few days ago they asked us to hand over Fan Wencheng and other Han ministers. I once said that this was their delaying strategy. Even if we hand over people, they will continue to attack. Now  Sure enough, they actually slaughtered a bunch of Han officials right in front of our eyes. Could this be before they retreated??The right thing to do?  This is obviously the sacrificial flag before the war!

    "But you, you think they will retreat again and again. Are you really that naive? Even if you have read few books and don't know what methods they are playing, there are always some things that my ancestors did in the past.  Do you smell it? When I, the Jin Dynasty, destroyed the Song Dynasty, I didn¡¯t keep asking the Song court to send money and hostages, but as a result, they stormed into Bianliang and kidnapped both emperors of the Song Dynasty.  Go? Now they are just using the same method again, in order to arouse our internal conflicts and at the same time lower our morale. In this way, their siege can easily attack us. Have you really already connected with this?  Can¡¯t you see the layers?

    "I can tell you the truth now. Even if I do go out, I will only be taken hostage by them, or even killed in front of you. By then, the morale of my whole family in Dajin will be even more weakened.  , and the Ming army will not stop here, and will definitely find another excuse to attack Shengjing! Moreover, I cannot just sit back and die. Although there are your troops outside now, my Zhenghuang and Zhengbai flags are also  It¡¯s not a decoration. If a conflict really breaks out, it will only be Daikin itself that will be damaged. You should carefully consider whether you should unite as one to deal with foreign enemies, or surrender and cause our Daikin to be completely destroyed!"

    After saying this long paragraph, Huang Taiji stared closely at the people in front of him, his heart in his throat.  He was not completely sure that these people whose eyes and minds were confused by the desire for power would wake up because of his heartfelt words.  If they really don't repent, they will take action first if they can't help it.  After setting up troops outside, Huang Taiji also had a lot of swordsmen and axemen in the palace ready. If it didn't make sense, he would have to kill all these brains first and then clean up the mess.  Of course, he would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary, because it would only make Daikin completely chaotic.

    After everyone looked at each other for a while, they finally admitted that they had indeed gone too far.  Now is not the time to fight for power. There is a big enemy now. You should be thinking about how to defeat the enemy. Otherwise, Dai Jin will really be destroyed.  By that time, even if they die, they will not be able to face Nurhaci.

    "The Great Khan is right, we fell into Mingren's trick!" Several people admitted their mistake and said at the same time: "Now we all obey the Great Khan's instructions, but I wonder if the Great Khan has any strategies to defeat the enemy?  ?¡±

    Seeing the faces of everyone, Huang Taiji knew that this was all the truth, and he finally felt a little more at ease. At least during this period of time, Daikin was completely united, but has all this come too late?  But of course he couldn't say that. He said with confidence: "As long as we work together, we will definitely win! In terms of combat power, the Ming army is no match for our elite Dajin soldiers, and now they are in  I am in the land of Dajin, and I have good geographical advantages, how can I lose to them? In addition, we have weapons that the Ming army doesn¡¯t know about, and we will definitely be able to accomplish great feats by then!"

    "Are those artillery pieces the Great Khan is referring to? Those things are not as powerful as imagined, and not many of our warriors know how to use them. Can they really make a difference?"

    "Of course, the reason why the Ming army was able to march forward was because of their help. Now that we have the same weapons as them, we are already on an equal footing at this level. How can the Ming army still be our opponent?"  Although Huang Taiji was not too sure in his heart, he had to say this in order to boost morale.

    A civil strife has been eliminated, which is a good thing for the Jin Kingdom, but the difficulties they face are still there. The Ming army is still outside the city and has made preparations to attack the city.  But now the Jin army is determined to fight head-on with the Ming army to let the Han people who dare to come here know how powerful they are.

    Tang Feng outside the city did not expect that his instigation method would backfire, causing the Jin army to completely unite in one place.  He could feel this from the state of the Jin Army at the top of the city.  However, Tang Feng did not feel annoyed by this. Even if the Jin people's morale increased greatly, the current situation was still under his control. The current battlefield cannot be determined by firm belief and tenacious courage alone.  , the emergence of firearms marked the complete decline of the nomadic peoples who used riding and shooting as their main means of attack, and the Kingdom of Jin would be the beginning of it all.

    So after waiting for half a day without seeing any sign of sincerity from the Jin people in the city, Tang Feng resolutely decided to attack the city.  He will use death and blood to announce the beginning of an era and the end of an era!

    The artillery that had already adjusted its angle and distance roared at the same time. Hundreds of artillery blasted directly on the south wall of Shenyang City. However, the damage to the city wall was not too great, because this shot was all hit.  It's a shotgun.  Countless iron nails and iron sand appeared in front of the Jin Army again, and they still could not dodge or block these high-speed weapons.??Many people were beaten until their bodies were bleeding and they fell to the top of the city.

    In order to force the Jin army's defense into chaos, the Ming army first used covering artillery to clean up. When they realized that the city was in chaos, they changed the artillery shells and replaced them with solid projectiles.

    "Boom, boom, boom" Cannonballs kept hitting the Shenyang city wall. Although this city was also built by the Ming court, and the walls were continuously reinforced after the Jin people captured the city and established their capital here, but  He couldn't stand the constant bombardment, as each blow was extremely powerful.  Big holes soon appeared on the city wall, and the Jin army began to become chaotic.

    This style of play obviously exceeded the Jin army's expectations. All the means of defending the city they had prepared were turned into decorations under the long-distance bombardment.  The distance between the two sides was still hundreds of feet. No matter how powerful the crossbow was, it couldn't hit the target, let alone the rocks and trees. In this way, the Jin army had only one option: passively being beaten.

    Although the southern wall of Shenyang was crumbling, the Ming army had no intention of stopping the bombardment and then attacking the city.  Because Tang Feng had already given the order, the Ming army could not launch the charge until the Shenyang city wall collapsed.  This is not because Tang Feng learned that the Jin Army also deployed artillery on the city wall. He has no ability to predict the future, but because he knows where his advantage lies.  Since the power of the Ming army's artillery is already so amazing, why not follow the original method of fighting and let the soldiers use their lives to fill it?  Just because of his idea, he saved the lives of many Ming army soldiers, and also made Huang Taiji's idea of ??using artillery to fight back the Ming army completely bankrupt.

    At the beginning, the Ming army still had some opinions on this method of warfare.  When they thought about it, how could a warrior cower behind when attacking the enemy's city?  But after seeing the damage caused by the artillery, they no longer had other ideas.  It was really a good thing for them to be able to kill the enemy and escape in embarrassment without taking any casualties, and to beat the solid city wall like this.

    "Boom, boom, boom!" The improved artillery was not only more powerful, but also loaded ammunition much faster than before. Hundreds of artillery continued to bombard Shenyang City. At this time, a small section of the city wall had been blown away.  It collapsed, and the Jin army standing on it also fell down, and was eventually buried by rocks.  It was clear that this was not an siege, but a one-sided bombing. In the eyes of the Jin people, everyone was already in despair.

    "This what should we do? Once the city wall falls, we will lose the barrier. How will Shengjing be able to defend it then?" A thought came to everyone's mind - Dajin is over.  Even Huang Taiji had to admit that this time he underestimated the power of the Ming army's artillery, which could knock down the city wall so quickly, allowing the army to advance straight in.

    This time, all the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom were as speechless as Huang Taiji. They all looked at the southern city wall with bleak expressions. The only way was to gather everyone and fight the Ming army in the city.  It was hoped that their cavalry would have the upper hand in a head-on confrontation with the Ming army.  But now the confidence of the Jin Army has been reduced by the terrifying artillery. What's more, the Ming Army still has muskets in hand. Even if there is a real confrontation, the Jin Army will not be able to take advantage, which makes everyone even more worried.  Perhaps there is only one way to save yourself, and that is to really surrender to the Ming army.

    "Boom" After being bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces, Shenyang's tall and solid city wall finally could no longer withstand such great damage and collapsed completely.  Together with some of the Jin soldiers who had not yet had time to withdraw, as well as the weapons used to defend the city, they were buried in the rocks. The entire Shenyang City was completely exposed to the Ming army's gunfire.

    Tang Feng looked at the collapsed city wall with a satisfied smile on his face. This was what he wanted to see. Only in this way could Ming Dynasty truly gain an advantage on the battlefield.  But then there is no need to bombard with artillery, but it is time to use the troops at hand to capture the city.  As soon as he gave the order, the Ming army, which had already been full of momentum, immediately launched a charge. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It can even be said that since the soldiers joined the army, they have been looking forward to this day to come and be able to conquer the army.  This powerful enemy from the northeast stepped under his feet.

    "Kill!" The Ming army rushed forward like a tide. This time, there was no scene of being slapped on the city wall and scattered. Instead, they rushed straight into the city and killed the frightened Jin army.

    Although they were already fearful at this time, the Jin army had no way to retreat and had no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward.  Their riding skills were still so superb, but after a gunshot like fried beans, a large number of golden troops fell to the ground.  That's because it was the musketeers who were at the forefront of the Ming army, and they were the enemies of the cavalry.

    When the Jin army's front troops fell to the ground and the formation was in chaos, a large number of Ming troops rushed forward, wielding various weapons to chop, stab and slash at??The enemy's key point.  At the same time, there were constant gunshots, which were the musketeers who had loaded their ammunition and were sniping at nearby enemies. The battle was one-sided from the beginning.

    Seeing that the soldiers continued to fall, the Jin army had no choice but to fight and retreat, hoping to stabilize their position before trying to counterattack.  But the Ming army was already in full swing at this time, so how could they be able to block it if they wanted to?  Although the Jin army killed many Ming soldiers with their accurate archery skills, their casualties were far higher than those of the Ming army.

    Watching his companions die one by one, Jin Jun finally couldn't hold on anymore and began to collapse.  Some of them began to put down their weapons and raised their hands to express surrender.  But the Ming army completely ignored their actions and cut them down with a single blow when they got in front of them. This was all credit, how could they let it go so easily?

    The killing started at the same time as the Jin army collapsed. No matter whether you have weapons in your hands or not, no matter what you say, as long as you have a pig tail behind your head, as long as you are wearing the armor of the Jin people, then the Ming army will  He will greet them with the weapons in his hands.  This was an order Tang Feng gave before the war started. This time his goal was to destroy his country and his clan. How could he let these people continue to threaten the safety of the Ming Dynasty?
