- There is no way to stop the Tiger Guards' attack!
Ba Futu knew this very well, especially after he heard that Ataimu was dead and witnessed the large and ferocious Ming army, he knew that Dandong could not be defended.
In fact, if he could continue to stay in Dandong for a longer time, he might be able to give Sheng Jing more time, but he did not do so.
He evacuated all the troops from Dandong!
In fact, there is nothing to blame for what he did. What he considered was that instead of wasting his troops here, it would be better to concentrate all his forces on Shengjing and launch a battle to defend Shengjing.
But he was wrong, he had no idea what kind of war he would face
The forwards of the Huben Guards closely followed Dandong's defeated troops and appeared in Shengjing. Shengjing was in danger of disaster.
This is something that no one in Shengjing expected!
Especially one of the two auxiliary kings of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Zheng Jierhalang who stayed in Shengjing, was even more shocked. He never expected that when Dorgon was fighting on the front line, the Ming army would actually appear. Got here!
what to do? What should we do now?
Evacuate? The Ming army didn't give themselves any time to prepare! Going out of the city to fight? Shengjing's troops are insufficient! Then there is only one way, hold on and wait for Dorgon's return!
Jilharang made a decision that he thought was right, but was criticized a lot afterward. Many people in later generations believed that Jierhalang should decisively abandon Shengjing at this time and take Shunzhi "Emperor" Fulin and others to forcefully rush to the front line of Shanhaiguan to make other plans.
But there are also people who are blameless for doing this. Not to mention whether they can successfully evacuate Shengjing, what kind of losses they will suffer on the way to evacuate, so what if they can successfully run to Shanhaiguan? Under the two-pronged attack of the Tiger Guards, they could only extend some time.
But this is only the judgment of future generations. Real war is entirely decided by the parties involved. Jilharang made what he thought was the most correct decision:
hold fast!
While he sent his cavalry to fly to Shanhaiguan, telling Dorgon what happened here and asking him to immediately return for help, he ordered Prince Azig of England to serve as General Wuying and be responsible for the entire defense of Shengjing.
Queen Mother Bumubutai and Zhezhe also found out. Zhezhe panicked, but Bumubutai behaved very calmly. She summoned Jierhalang on behalf of Shunzhi. Ask him what happened. Jierhalang told the two empress dowagers:
"The Ming army landed in Dandong in large numbers, and its forward has arrived outside Shengjing City!"
Zhezhe exclaimed, and Bumubutai glanced at her, and then asked slowly: "Prince Zheng, are you ready to defend the city?"
"Yes, Queen Mother, I am ready."
Zhezhe couldn't help but asked: "Prince Zheng, can you hold on?"
"Yes!" Jierhalang's answer was decisive: "Shengjing still has 30,000 troops, so we can recruit them temporarily. If we can get 50,000 troops, Shengjing's city defense will be strong. I am confident that I will persist until Prince Rui returns for reinforcements!"
"No, you have a hundred thousand troops!" Bumbutai suddenly said: "You can use the people in the palace, as well as the servants of the princes and Belles. Can a hundred thousand troops defend Shengjing?"
"We can defend it!" Jierhalang suddenly felt his confidence doubled and said loudly.
"Okay! Prince Zheng, please do everything!" Bumbutai raised his voice: "Tell all the ministers that our Qing Dynasty is facing a crisis. As long as we get through this crisis, no one can stop our Qing Dynasty. ! This Shengjing is my Qing Dynasty¡¯s Shengjing; this world is also my Qing Dynasty¡¯s world!¡±
All the ministers were summoned. When they finally got confirmation from Jierhalang that the Ming army had actually arrived at Shengjing City, everyone behaved differently.
Some people are panicked, while others are calm.
Fan Wencheng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother. If the soldiers come to block it, if the water comes and the soil comes, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as I, the monarch and my ministers, work together, Shengjing will be as stable as Mount Tai!"
"What Great Scholar Fan said is good!" Bumbutai said: "As long as our monarch and ministers are united, Shengjing will be as stable as Mount Tai! King Assistant, I leave everything to you!"
"I accept the decree!" Jierhalang said loudly: "Although the Ming army is coming, we still have tens of thousands of soldiers in Shengjing, fully equipped with weapons. Why should we be afraid? You are all our loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty. If you want to successfully defend it Shengjing, I still need your help. "
The meaning of his words was very clear. Prince Su Hauge, who was also staying in Shengjing at that time, said: "My family?No matter how driven the court is, there will be no complaints! As long as Shengjing can be defended, what's the problem if my furniture is destroyed? "
As soon as he said this, there was a chorus of agreement.
Just when Jierhalang was overjoyed and preparing to award the award, a dull sound of cannons came, followed by another one.
Jierhalang was surprised, so fast, so fast, why did the Ming army start to attack the city so quickly? Have all their large forces arrived?
The main force of the Tiger Guards did not arrive, only the forward troops arrived.
But now time is extremely precious to Shengjing, and it is also extremely precious to Huben Guard! They must attack Shengjing and capture it as soon as possible to buy the most precious time for the warrior king Ding Yunyi who is fighting bloody battles in Shanhaiguan!
So when the first batch of artillery arrived, Zhang Xianxuan issued the attack order in advance!
Dozens of artillery pieces were lined up. On April 13, the Huben Guards forward attacked Shengjing!
Fast, really too fast. At this time, the only ones who arrived at Shengjing City were the forwards of the Tiger Guards. If Azig, who was responsible for defending the city, could decisively issue an attack order and disrupt the Tiger Guards' formation, not only would the Tiger Guards not be able to attack the city with peace of mind, they would even be able to attack the city. It can be delayed until the most precious time.
But Azig did not do this. He resolutely carried out Jierhalang¡¯s order: No matter how difficult it is, he must defend Shengjing to the death!
Defense, not offense!
Azig missed the best opportunity!
Zhang Xianxuan arrived in Shengjing on the afternoon of the 13th. And immediately began to attack Shengjing, and at night, large reinforcements from the Huben Guards arrived one after another.
The Huben Guards were desperately trying their best to transport artillery and supplies to Shengjing, desperately trying to gain time. When April 14th came, more than half of the Huben Guards' artillery had already arrived on the battlefield.
Early on the morning of the 14th, before the decisive battle between Wu Lie King Ding Yunyi at Yiyishi, the Shengjing War had already broken out in advance!
The artillery fired in unison, shaking the sky and the earth!
Even the capital city, which has been repaired for countless years, cannot withstand the terrible artillery attack. How could Shengjing resist? In the face of powerful artillery fire, all city defenses in this era are no different from paper.
This was also the first time Azig faced such terrifying artillery. He simply couldn¡¯t believe that the Ming army¡¯s artillery was so powerful.
The shells roared one after another, and each shell could always cause huge damage to Shengjing.
The city walls of Shengjing were destroyed by artillery fire, and the Qing soldiers who participated in the defense of Shengjing wailed under the roar of artillery fire. It seemed that there was no way to reverse everything.
The Tiger Guards didn¡¯t care about their own shells at all. In the eyes of the gunners, every shell was cheering for King Wu Lie who was fighting hard in Shanhaiguan! Every shell is a cry for the comrades who are fighting bloody battles in Shanhaiguan!
The earth is trembling, Shengjing is trembling!
The city wall was torn apart inch by inch, but the gunners of the Huben Guards were not satisfied with the current results at all. What they want is to allow their infantry brothers to rush into the city as smoothly as possible!
Seize Shengjing and annihilate the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
Azig was also trembling under such artillery fire!
At this time, he had an unknown feeling in his heart. If the enemy's artillery fire has become so powerful that it completely ignores the defense, is there any hope for the defending side to continue to hold on?
But he quickly suppressed this terrible thought in his heart.
??Can't give up, absolutely can't give up, this is Shengjing, this is the hope of the Qing Dynasty! Here, there is the emperor, the empress dowager, the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, and so many subjects there!
If the enemy is allowed to enter the city. What a terrible situation that would be?
"Prince of England, we are here!"
Azig looked back and saw that it was Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and countless retainers who had arrived. The person leading these people was a scholar in his thirties. Azig recognized him. He was Lu Yanhan, Fan Wencheng's staff!
It is said that many of Fan Wencheng¡¯s articles and suggestions were written by Lu Yanhan. It's just that this person is very strange. He doesn't want to be an official at all, but he regards the Ming Dynasty and Wu Lie Wang Ding Yunyi as his biggest enemy!
"Master Fan. Bachelor Ning, okay, okay!" Azig tried his best to maintain his composure in the fire: "As long as you and I are united, the enemy can't do anything to us!"
But Lu Yanhan frowned tightly. Although I had been mentally prepared before, the Ming army's artillery fire was still so powerful.??Far beyond his imagination.
Ding Yunyi¡¯s wings are really hard! Ding Yunyi¡¯s wings are really hard! When can I get my revenge?
But this thought just passed by for a moment. How to hold on here is the most important thing now. He calmed down and said: "Prince Ying, the enemy's artillery fire is too strong, please take the initiative to attack?"
"Take the initiative?" Azig hesitated.
With such fierce artillery fire, how can one take the initiative to attack?
Lu Yanhan further said: "Prince Ying, if you continue to defend passively here, the city defense may be broken by the afternoon. Although the chance of winning proactively is not very high, at least it can delay the enemy for a while. In any case, We have to wait for Prince Rui¡¯s army to come back!¡±
Azig nodded, and shouted loudly: "Ba Tu!"
"exist!"
Azig pointed to the outside of the city: "I'll give you two thousand cavalry, rush out! Rush in front of the Ming army and kill them all! If you can't do it, don't come back!"
"Yes!" Ba Futu responded loudly, then walked down the tower and ordered the two thousand cavalry as quickly as possible. He took a big sword and shouted: "Qing cavalry, charge!"
Two thousand cavalry rushed out!
All this fell into the eyes of the Tiger Guards. The generals showed sarcasm in their eyes, and then the artillery fire was quickly aimed at these cavalry.
The shells fell among the cavalry ranks and dispersed. Following this, countless cavalrymen fell like leaves.
The artillery fire was raging on these cavalry, and the artillery fire was killing and injuring these cavalry. In a short distance, the Manchu cavalry had already suffered heavy casualties.
But this is just the beginning.
When the raging artillery fire passed, the musketeers appeared again, and a large number of muskets roared like artillery, ruthlessly taking the lives of the cavalry.
Ba Futu had never seen such a fighting method, and he had never even thought that there was such a terrible way of killing people in the world.
But at this point, he has no possibility of retreat. He has only one way: rush! No matter how difficult it is, you have to rush forward. Only when you rush in front of the enemy can you win!
But this task seems so impossible
Most of the cavalry fell on the road of charge!
When Azig finally rushed forward after all the hard work, he suddenly made a horrifying discovery. There were only a few hundred riders left around him.
A feeling of sadness suddenly arose in his heart.
What kind of war is this, what kind of killing is this. The invincible cavalry of the Qing Dynasty were so vulnerable to the enemy's firearms.
But he didn¡¯t know that the nightmare had just begun.
The remaining cavalry finally rushed forward, but were quickly intercepted by the enemy's spearmen. The spear that suddenly appeared struck the war horse accurately. The pained war horses whined, raised their hooves and threw their masters off their bodies.
Then, there was a new massacre
Although there were not many Tiger Guards cavalry who landed with them, they were still able to play a great role at this time. Those majestic knights rushed forward. They hacked and killed the Manchu cavalry indiscriminately.
"Killing, this is naked killing!"
Badu has not died so far. This is also the biggest miracle. Even he himself doesn't know why he hasn't died yet. Maybe death is a kind of relief for him.
With a roar of "Boom¡ª¡ª", Ba Tutu fell off his horse.
It hurt, his chest was burning, and he knew he had been shot.
He was not dead yet. Just as he was struggling to get up, countless war horses trampled over him. Batu Tu's body twisted and struggled, but soon he stopped all movements.
he died.
This fierce Qing Dynasty general died in such a strange way.
Those people standing on the city tower watched helplessly how Ba Futu and the two thousand cavalry were lost. They never thought that the Qing cavalry that dominated the world would face such a result.
What kind of war is this!
Azige stood there with a livid face. Not a word was said. The people around him also stood there with pale faces and could not say a word.
Is this still the war they remember?
Azig¡¯s heart was filled with confusion. He had no idea what to do.What to do. He could see how brave the cavalrymen who rushed out of the city were and how eager they were to win, but he could also see how weak those cavalrymen were in the face of firearms.
He even thought that even if he could successfully defend Shengjing this time, what would be the use? In the face of such powerful firearms, can the Qing Dynasty continue to be as invincible as before?
No, it¡¯s really hard to do the Qing Dynasty.
Lu Yanhan also had the same thought in his mind.
It¡¯s over, it¡¯s really too late. Not only will Shengjing be defeated by the Ming army sooner or later, but his dream of revenge with the help of the Qing Dynasty will also be shattered.
Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi!
This person whom I hate most with all my heart, this person who I will dream about whenever I close my eyes! Maybe he is laughing at himself proudly right now.
But what else can you do?
At this time, the Ming army's artillery fire became more vigorous. After slaughtering the group of cavalry, they aimed their artillery fire at Shengjing again.
The city wall is still being damaged section by section, and hope is still being dashed bit by bit. The soldiers guarding the towers have begun to panic, and this panic will spread quickly.
You can continue to fight if the city is destroyed, but what if your confidence is shattered?
Azig sighed deeply.
"Prince Rui, prepare for the battle after breaking the city!" Lu Yanhan on the side whispered.
Azig glanced at him, when was it the turn of these Han people to boss him around?
He glared at Lu Yanhan fiercely, but had to suppress his anger.
Now is not the time to get angry.
Now, once the city is broken, these people are all forces that can be used!
"Pass my order and resist with all your strength!" Azig shouted with blood-red eyes: "Without my order, no soldier is allowed to retreat. At the same time, strengthen the defense of the palace! Let Haug personally lead the people to protect His Majesty. "Safety!"
His eyes fell into the distance, which was the direction of Shanhaiguan. Prince Rui, Prince Rui, do you know that Shengjing is under attack? Why haven't you come back yet?
But Prince Rui Dorgon couldn't hear his call. Now they have to rely on themselves for everything!
The artillery fire became more and more fierce, and the shells destroyed some terrifyingly. Solid bullets, explosive bullets, and all kinds of artillery shells rained down towards Shengjing.
In the eyes of the Tiger Guard soldiers, the mission has not been completed unless the last shell is fired!
Generals such as Cai Jiuzhou, Ye Dahai, and Zhang Xianxuan looked at the bombardment in front of them indifferently. They were happy to see Shengjing tremble under their artillery fire. They were happy to see Shengjing destroyed under their artillery fire.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and a huge gap was finally torn open in the city wall of Shengjing!
Several generals looked at each other, then slowly drew out their swords - move forward! Capture Shengjing and destroy Shengjing! Let Shengjing be burned in the fury of Ming Dynasty's revenge!
On April 14, Shengjing was finally captured. On this day, the Huben Guards launched their final attack here! - Didn't finish reading?
