New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1071

In order to win Shenyang City, the Chinese Empire invested a lot of troops in this direction and authorized sun chuanting to take full responsibility and command these troops in a unified and coordinated manner.

These troops eventually reached 200000. Sun chuanting formed the Northeast front army, which is under the jurisdiction of four armies and 22 divisions.

This central city in Eastern Liaoning was formerly called Shenyang. After JianNu occupied it, it was renamed Shengjing, moved its capital here, and carried out extensive transformation.

However, in the mouth of the Ming dynasty or the Chinese Empire, it is still called Shenyang. This city has been occupied for nearly 20 years since the fall of Tianqi in the second year.

When Shenyang Wei fell that day, 70000 soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtered. There were few left. Now those living in the city either took refuge in JianNu or the nobles of JianNu.

Of course, these so-called slave building nobles took the lead in escaping when the Chinese army besieged the city. Many people fled with their families and property, and the slave building fled in the direction of Jianzhou.

Because they knew that the Chinese Empire did not accept their surrender at all, and implemented the policy of killing them all. Under this policy, no one could survive, and staying was just a dead end.

Most of the nobles fled, only some appointed to stay. These people were very angry, very angry.

Because staying here means death, but their sweat is also left behind, which makes many people who are named and left very unhappy, but they can only lament their bad life.

The Chinese army went hand in hand with several armies, and the flood generally swept quickly. Although JianNu also built many fences and stockaded villages outside the city, he planned to compete with the Chinese Army outside the city.

However, these civil fortifications were vulnerable to the Chinese Army’s artillery. These things were quickly broken by the Chinese classics, and the Chinese Army’s front pointed directly at Shenyang.

In four days, sun chuanting eradicated all the obstacles outside the city and surrounded Shenyang in an all-round way.

This kind of encirclement is a real comprehensive encirclement. After the encirclement, the JianNu in the city wants to withdraw a person or a grain of food.

This makes the people in the city know and realize that they have become turtles in a jar and can only wait here to die.

Being surrounded in the city does not mean waiting to die, but being like them means waiting to die. This is because they have no reinforcements at all, and no one has enough confidence to defeat this powerful Chinese army.

Although their plan is to counterattack and defeat the enemy when they have a large number of casualties during the siege.

This is the best result they can get.

In fact, as long as people with a little mind understand that even if they can achieve the best results like this, they only get a temporary respite. The Chinese army in front of them will soon organize another army to attack them.

The current Chinese army is different from the previous Ming Dynasty. The Chinese Empire has hundreds of millions of people and endless resources. It can transfer a large number of troops. As long as it doesn’t win here, it can continue to attack here until it gets its wish. One less of them will die and eventually subjugate the country and the nation.

Just like the Khitans or immortal women of the kingdom of gold who were so powerful on this land in those days, they have long disappeared and only exist in legends.

But they had to fight to the death. The policy of the Chinese Empire forced them to take up arms and fight at the last moment like a warrior.

In fact, if the Chinese empire is willing to accept their conditions and let them live, it is estimated that their desperate resistance will collapse immediately.

But the Chinese Empire did not do so.

Sun chuanting, who was in charge of commanding the army to besiege the city, said confidently: “the surrender can make them surrender, and the hammer can make them surrender.”

Many of his generals said in unison, “I’d like to listen to the order of the general.”

Sun chuanting said loudly, “JianNu captured Shenyang Wei. In only one day, we have 200000 troops and hundreds of cannons. Tell Ben Shuai how long it will take to win the city?”

The generals said in unison, “one day.”

Sun chuanting smiled coldly: “tomorrow I will drink with you in the city.”

This is the strength of the Chinese army. After a series of battles, their confidence began to grow. Especially after the establishment of the country, they regarded themselves as orthodox and officers and soldiers in the world, more confident and stronger.

In their eyes, since JianNu can attack here in one day, they have superior troops and many cannons. They can take it down here more quickly in a short time.

Because there are no Han people in the city, all of them are mainly buildings. They can use artillery at will and carry out indiscriminate bombing.

Since the Chinese army entered the land of Eastern Liaoning, they fought JianNu and retreated day by day, which also completely excited JianNu, which made them very taboo to the Han people who surrendered to them, because many Siming Han people set up troops and raised flags to rebel. They killed JianNu’s landlords and old wealth, and then turned to the Chinese army.

This made JianNu hate it very much. In Huang Taiji, he also knew that after the two sides could not negotiate peace, they also issued a killing order.

That is, they ordered their men to kill all the Han slaves. They were afraid that when they fought a decisive battle with the Chinese army, these Han chickens in their cages would make them suffer from both internal and external enemies.

The more oppressive, the more intense the resistance, the more troops, and the growing hatred. Up to now, there is no way for both sides to negotiate peace.

That’s because the Chinese Army doesn’t want to talk to them, and they all know that if the Chinese army is allowed to gain power, they have no place in this land.

The scheduled siege time was set as the next day. Although sun chuanting only gave his men one day, they were not sure of winning.

Because the last elite troops of JianNu are guarding here, and their sweat is guarding here personally. The soldiers have a very strong will to resist. If they capture here in one day, they will also suffer a lot of casualties.

In this case, after midnight, they ordered hundreds of cannons deployed outside the east gate to start fierce air attacks on the city.

Countless cannons, roaring like thunder, sent out bullets one after another and smashed them to the east of the city. In the roar, countless bullets, like raindrops, smashed into the city and hit the JianNu guarding the wall. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the casualties were very heavy.

The very cold night immediately became noisy. In the roar of cannons, fires broke out everywhere, and many places were illuminated like day.

JianNu saw the Chinese army and immediately began to bombard the city with artillery after midnight.

They realized that the other party might be attacking at night, so these JianNu bravely took up their weapons, took up their shields and rushed up to the wall. They were also worried that if they were late, the infantry of the Chinese army would have rushed over the wall.

These people, they also know, have no way back, but a dead end, so they are particularly brave. When the enemy shells hit the wall like raindrops, people will die every step forward, but these people rushed forward without hesitation.

At the risk of huge casualties and heavy casualties, JianNu arrived at the city wall. When he reinforced here, he found that the Chinese Army outside the city had not launched an attack at all, but there were some guard forces on the side.

The Chinese army did not attack them, but only carried out heavy shelling, which made the JianNu in the city think it was the other party’s delaying plan, so they retreated one after another.

The enemy’s cannons are too fierce. Countless bullets hit down like raindrops. The other party didn’t aim at it at all, but blasted in the direction of the city wall.

This way of bombing, to put it bluntly, is to leave no room at all and will not care about the life and death of the people in the city.

They are carrying out fire support. In sun chuanting’s words, since it is one day to win Shenyang City, the pressure on the troops attacking the city will be very great. They simply bombard the city for a long time and blow it up.

If they rush forward without artillery support, they will suffer heavy casualties under the fierce counterattack of the enemy.

Because they also saw that JianNu also deployed artillery and stone throwers on the wall. These weapons can kill people and the Chinese army.

So all they have to do is destroy the things on their city wall first.

Only after killing the enemy’s long-range and powerful killing weapons can we charge on a large scale.

Sun chuanting does not care about the number of casualties, which does not mean that he is not afraid of casualties. If he makes it meaningless for soldiers to die, he will be shot black.

After the Chinese army launched a fierce attack, the JianNu on the wall also launched a counterattack one after another. They used the captured Ming army’s artillery and stone throwing machine to attack the Chinese Army array under the city. You come and go on both sides, and the fight was very fierce.

Huang Taiji didn’t rest at all. In fact, he hasn’t had a good sleep since the Chinese army besieged the city. Now he is worried that the Chinese army will take the opportunity to attack. As soon as the Chinese Army artillery rang, he immediately ran to the watchtower to study the enemy situation.

They found that the Chinese army only used artillery and went all out to attack the east gate, so it was determined that the east gate would be the key object of the Chinese Army’s all-out attack.

Therefore, many reinforcements were sent to support. Who knows, they fell into the plan of the Chinese army. The reinforcements rushed up were blown to pieces by their cannons, and the casualties were very heavy.
