New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1073
The battle for the East Gate gap was launched in the most tragic way, because the two sides were close to each other here, and the Chinese army could not give full play to its advantage of fire guns. Their soldiers, with fire guns and bayonets, fought with JianNu’s fierce soldiers for bayonets.
If the two sides fight hand to hand, the advantage of the Chinese army is really not big, because the soldiers of JianNu wear heavy armor and hold heavy knives and Maces. When they hit with a stick, they can often throw your gun aside and kill you with a stick.
Chinese soldiers use fire guns to stab each other, but the other party is wearing heavy armor and often gets several knives. There is no problem and can’t stab him in.
However, the Chinese army also has a sharp weapon for close combat, that is, their grenades. In terms of personal force shields, they can’t pose a serious threat to each other, but they can make grenades, blow up the other half to death, and throw them out. Even if the other party is wearing heavy armor, they will be killed.
The two sides launched an extremely fierce and bloody struggle near the gate of the city. People fell down and blood flowed into a river.
However, the Chinese army has the advantage of manpower. Their group charge has played an extremely important role. Although the JianNu soldiers are brave and good at fighting, the fierce tigers are difficult to defeat the wolves. The other party is like a wolf and a fierce impact like the tide, which completely suppresses them, advances step by step and makes them retreat step by step.
Even if Huang Taiji sent his pro guards, and he led all noble generals to fight the enemy in person, they could not resist the attack of the Chinese army, just like the stormy waves.
When the Chinese army broke through the city gate and rushed to the Imperial Palace in the city like a tide, the JianNu knew that the trend was gone.
Huang Taiji could not help lamenting. He thought that with the city of Shenyang, he could keep it for at least two months, so as to win time for his troops to retreat and for them to organize defense in Jianzhou.
They all know that even if they return to Jianzhou, it does not mean they are safe. The troops of the Chinese Empire will certainly follow.
Distance can not interrupt the invasion of the Chinese army, but it can be in the cold winter. If they are in Shenyang, they can drag on until winter. When the snow closes the road, the enemy will not be able to use troops against Jianzhou on a large scale, and they will win more time.
You should know that after September, there will be heavy snow outside the pass, and the roads will be blocked by ice and snow. The army can’t March at all. The small-scale troops can’t pose a threat to them. They need time. Even if they fight with their lives, it’s worth it.
Therefore, they have made a plan to strictly prevent and defend. They will never attack easily and will not fight a decisive battle and field battle with the Chinese army. They use the defense system here to delay time and kill a large number of Chinese troops.
Who knows that Huang Taiji’s wishful thinking can’t be carried out at all. That’s because the Chinese army is like a thunderbolt. It crushed them all at once. What time should we fight for at this time? What opportunities do you have?
After the Chinese army broke through the east gate, the gate was opened to welcome the army.
There are more than 200000 Chinese troops deployed on the front line here. Of course, these 200000 troops will not be used here in Shenyang, but will be deployed around the neighborhood, waiting for the opportunity to attack and expand the scope of occupation.
But in the first stage of the battle, they still took the capture of Shenyang as the core.
All the armies assigned combat tasks. When the main force took the east gate, they rushed into the city along the east gate to kill the resistance JianNu.
Although JianNu was fighting desperately, their mentality collapsed at this time.
In the past, they could rely on the tall city walls to resist the iron hooves of the Chinese army.
However, such a tall city wall also collapsed under the artillery of the Chinese army. The tall city wall can’t resist. Can they block the artillery of the Chinese army with their flesh and blood?
After the Chinese army conquered the city wall, they began to eliminate the remaining enemies in the city in multiple ways, focusing on the Imperial Palace in the center of the city.
The Imperial Palace was built on the basis of Shenyang general military office. On that day, after they occupied this place, they did not list it as the capital, but set the capital in Liaoyang general military office, because Liaoyang is the center of Liao town. Who knows, there are too many people against them in Liaoyang, and people often poison the well.
This made the old slave realize that it was not his territory and it was difficult to last. Therefore, after four years in Liaoyang, he began to officially move the capital to Shenyang and change it to Shengjing. As their base camp, they invaded the northeast.
JianNu rose in the corner of Jianzhou and occupied the vast and rich land of Liaodong. They were very surprised and shocked. They never thought they could get so many places. They didn’t want to give up after they got it. They exhausted all resources and tried their best to build Shenyang, build it into their own king capital and the center of the northeast region outside the pass.
But they never expected that the counterattack of the Chinese army would come so soon.
There is no room at all. If they continue to play like this, all their strategic ideas will be broken. They want to delay for a longer time and wait for the situation to change, but the other party quickly sweeps the place with the momentum of thunder and autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
Huang Taiji took out his sword and led his guard to attack in person. The son of thousands of gold sat down. As a great Khan of the post Jin country, he had not been on the battlefield in person for a long time. Even if he went to the battlefield, he was going to command the army. Today, he led his guard to attack and kill repeatedly to resist the invasion of the enemy.
Because the enemy has killed their King City, the army of the Chinese Empire has no chickens or dogs, which also aroused their greatest anger and resistance. Anyway, it is a knife to stretch out their head and a knife to shrink their head. It is better to die in a vigorous war.
It can be seen that their sweat charged into the battle in person, and the soldiers’ morale was greatly boosted. They also shared a common hatred. They took up their weapons one after another and fought bravely with the Chinese army.
Since the Chinese army invaded the city, they had no way back, and launched an extremely fierce street battle with the Chinese army in the alley.
In fact, they also had to fight because of the policies of the Chinese army, but they left no room. If they fell into the hands of the Chinese army, they would be dead.
Huang Taiji also lamented: “the Chinese army is really too unique and vicious. It’s going to destroy the Nvzhen in Jianzhou!”
That’s why he personally went to the battle to kill the enemy with the respect of emperor Wancheng. At this time, he didn’t dare to think about turning over the plate or being able to repel the enemy. At the moment, his heart was full of sadness and anger. He would rather die and lose the country than give up the country.
Huang Taiji personally led the army to counterattack without stirring up waves. The strategy of the Chinese army is basically determined, that is, the operation of the large army regiment. Under this mode of operation, personal force is really insignificant. Even the best soldiers, throwing a few grenades and firing dozens of muskets, are beaten into blood gourds, He’ll be dead soon.
In this case, even an excellent soldier is no different from an ordinary soldier. If he gets a few shots, he will die.
But the counterattack led by Huang Taiji himself became their masterpiece.
Under the fierce counterattack of the Chinese army, it is like a hammer to the walnut. How can the fragile walnut resist? Although he can resist temporarily, it will only usher in a more violent blow.
After sun chuanting’s army had captured the gate, he began to order other armies to enter from here.
In half a day, he sent four divisions to enter. In terms of military strength, they have an absolute advantage.
Although JianNu crossed the land of Eastern Liaoning, beat other ethnic groups down and defeated the Daming Liao town with a population of one million, in fact, there were not many of them. Even with men, women, old and young, they were only 200000 people. Through a series of disastrous defeats and a series of wars, their manpower losses were very heavy and unsustainable.
Although Shengjing is their capital, the most important place for them and the place they must defend, there are not many troops stationed here, but about 20000 people, many of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. Many of them have withdrawn to Jianzhou and are ready to continue their resistance.
They only relied on the city wall to resist the attack of the Chinese army, but when the Chinese army took the city wall in one fell swoop and entered here on a large scale, their resistance became very weak.
All armies poured into the city like flowing water and rushed to their respective areas. No matter in which direction, they occupied an absolute advantage. Under the absolute advantage, JianNu had no resistance.
Moreover, at this stage, the Chinese army did not have any scruples. This was the enemy’s base camp. There were enemies everywhere. They killed everyone regardless of who the other party was, which accelerated the collapse of JianNu.
However, JianNu’s resistance was also very tenacious. Although sun chuanting claimed to capture Shenyang City in one day, the city was still resisting until the night of that day. Although the four gates had fallen into the hands of the Chinese army, the Imperial City in the center of the city was still resisting, and Huang Taiji was still leading his last elite to make tenacious resistance here.
Sun chuanting said loudly, “I have to take the imperial city today. I was going to use Huang Taiji’s head as a urinal.”
When sun chuanting issued such an order, his men had no objection. Qi Qi said loudly, “I would like to abide by the order of the senior general.”
At sun chuanting’s command, more troops began to enter the city and join the battle. The battle became more and more fierce.
