Five hundred and ninetieth chapters break the city
When they were about to see Shenyang City, Ye Bushou from the front rushed back. It was Hu Hao whom Zhong Jinwei trusted. He only heard him report: "Master Hou, Zhongcheng has led the surrounding Han people to the north gate of Shenyang City." , is bluffing."
Zhong Jinwei was riding on a horse, freely controlling his horse and standing there to listen to the report. After listening, he immediately asked Hu Hao: "How is the defensive strength in the city?"
"The top of the city is full of old, weak, women and children, and the few mature captives were attracted by Zhongcheng at the north gate." Hu Hao had obviously observed this in advance, and as soon as he heard Zhong Jinwei ask this question, he immediately answered road.
In fact, without asking, he almost knew that this was the case. Zhong Jinwei had already roughly known the strength of Jianlu in Shenyang City from Tang Daxuan and Gu Mancang. When Jianlu stepped into the ambush circle, he was a little surprised how Jianlu sent out such a force at once. Many people came to hunt down Lu Xiangsheng. Jianlu was so confident about their capital, relying on the remaining people to defend such a large city.
The reason why Zhong Jinwei had this question was that, like Dai Shan, he did not consider the existence of the new army he led.
If Daishan knew that Lu Xiangsheng was not fighting alone, and that the strange firearms army that had rescued the Denglai Ming Army was also coming, no matter how much fun the soldiers underneath had, no matter how much Shuotuo and Hauge begged, even if it was If there is a mutiny, Daishan will not send them out of the city.
Zhong Jinwei ordered to Gu Baichuan who was beside him: "Send the order and the entire army will rush to Shenyang and capture Shenyang City as planned."
"Yes." Gu Baichuan clasped his fists and promised loudly, with a hint of excitement in his voice. If everything goes well, he will be lucky enough to stand at the top of Shenyang, the puppet capital of Jianlu.
Gu Baichuan immediately passed on the order from Marquis Zhongxing, and the entire new army began to speed up.[
The soldiers of the New Army were indeed the elite selected from the Beijing camp. They had not had much rest since midnight and had experienced a big battle, but it did not affect their energetic execution of Zhong Jinwei's orders.
The new army, all cavalry, quickly rushed toward Shenyang City along the official road. At the end of this road was the west gate where Jianlu had rushed out before.
The original obstacles on the official road were cleared up by Ye Busuang and the Han people of Liaodong. In other words, Ye Busuang didn't contribute much. He just gave an order, and the Han people of Liaodong worked hard and quickly finished the work. their life.
The Jianlu soldiers at the west city wall of Shenyang saw a cavalry army galloping towards them from a distance, and many people speculated whether the troops they had chased before had returned.
Although they saw that the pursued Ming army appeared first under Shenyang City, they did not believe that three thousand men and horses were wiped out by about a thousand Ming troops, and that Ming army did not lack many people at all.
Whenever the Ming army is one against three, but it kills all the Jin army without any casualties, people will treat it like a lunatic if they say this.
But after looking at the Jianlu on top of the city for a while, people with good eyesight realized that something was wrong. This galloping cavalry army was obviously not their own army, and it seemed that they were not the Ming army, because the clothes were too strange. Never seen it before.
However, each section of the city was led by a veteran who built the army. One of them had heard of such an army. They wore strange clothes but had very powerful firearms.
After a while, a sharp voice shouted: "Ming Army, it's Ming Army!"
At this time, the new army was close to the Shenyang city wall, and many people discovered that this army was mixed with people wearing official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, and it was coming menacingly. At this time, the city was in chaos.
Although the Jianlu veteran was determined to take corresponding precautions, his subordinates were all ordinary people who had not been fully trained. It was okay to ask them to throw rocks and other things down, but if they were asked to execute tactical orders, it would obviously It's something difficult to do.
The new army did not give the veteran soldiers who built the city wall time to explain their command in detail. They quickly rushed to the top of the Shenyang city. Ignoring the sporadic bows and arrows fired from the city wall, they dismounted and raised their guns to shoot at the city wall.
Gunshots rang out and gunpowder smoke billowed out. The captives at the top of the city did not know how to evade, and many of the captives fell off the city wall in response.
The fusiliers used the three-stage attack naturally, taking turns shooting at the city gate near the city gate, suppressing the city head easily.
In the artillery unit, two of the largest caliber artillery pieces were dragged directly opposite the city gate. Artillery instructor Gonsa picked them out, and the most skilled gunners personally operated, aligned, and calibrated them.[
It didn't take long for the two cannons to roar, and the two iron eggs flew straight to the city gate and hit the city gate with a "boom".
Or maybe the artillery was too powerful, and Tiedan simply passed by, leaving only two holes.
The rate of fire of this Fo Lang machine gun was extremely fast. After a while, two more iron eggs shot out and hit the city gate.
It didn't take long for the city gate to have a lot of holes. The city gate eventually broke apart because it couldn't bear the many holes.
When the fusiliers in reserve saw this scene, they spontaneously launched a charge and rushed towards the city gate, shouting.
The sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling sounded from near the city gate. Although Zhong Jinwei could not understand the Jurchen words, he could guess that they were shouting that the Ming army had invaded and the city was broken.
Seeing the new soldiers rushing into the Shenyang city gate, Zhong Jinwei's heart, which had been secretly hanging, finally relaxed.
Even though the defender seems not to care at all whether he can capture Shenyang or not, in fact he just doesn't show it so as not to put too much pressure on his men.
Just as Lu Xiangsheng said at the meeting before coming, he didn't have to take the risk if the action was not aimed at conquering Shenyang. Since he took the risk, it was best to conquer Shenyang.
In order to achieve this goal, several sets of combat plans were planned in advance. In addition to the several sets that have been used, they even thought about using gunpowder to blow open the city gate. However, after testing on Zhangzi Island, it was found that if it is not airtight Detonating the container and throwing the gunpowder under the city gate won't have much power.
The results of the test reminded Zhong Jinwei that later generations seemed to have watched a TV series called Line of Life and Death. There was also a scene in which the guerrillas used black powder to blow up the Japanese headquarters. It was just like the test. In addition to being very loud, the explosion was very powerful. Very weak.
It is obviously unrealistic to forcefully dig a hole at the city gate. Because the city gate is the strongest, the Jianlu would not just watch the new army dig it. Therefore, the plan of using gunpowder to blow up the city gate is straightforward. was abandoned.
As for why the city gates were not bombarded with artillery from the beginning, this was discussed beforehand. If we did not eliminate the veterans who built the capital at the top of the city, firstly, whether we could suppress the city and let the artillery bombard them nearby was a question; secondly, the experienced soldiers Seeing that something was not going well, Jianlu would definitely block the city gate. As a result, the plan to bombard the city gate with artillery from the beginning was also rejected.
Although the city gate has been breached now, Zhong Jinwei remembered that he was still worried that Jianlu would block the gate in advance and fail to break the city.
Fortunately, enough Jianlu were eliminated, and those who were brought in temporarily did not even think of blocking the gate, so they defeated the city in one fell swoop.
All the luck in between made Zhong Jinwei secretly happy.
In fact, Zhong Jinwei did not expect that the reason why Jianlu did not block the door was because he wanted to wait for the troops who had left before to come back.
Now, all worries are a thing of the past.
Zhong Jinwei waited for a while. When the Ming army that rushed to the city began to expand their victory to both sides, he said to Gu Baichuan: "Let's go into the city!"
