Chapter 139 Huang Taiji's King 8 Shell

The journey from Jinzhou to Liaoyang was more than 400 miles, and the army marched for more than ten days, and stationed at Anshan Post, dozens of miles south of Liaoyang.

They are [-] cavalry and [-] infantry led by Zhao.

Mangui's eight thousand cavalry and twelve thousand infantry.

Zu Dashou had [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

With tens of thousands of troops marching, it is naturally impossible to hide the truth from Huang Taiji.

After more than two years of self-cultivation, he has accumulated [-] soldiers ready to fight.Although he is still unable to attack the Ming Dynasty, he is still confident enough to defend Liaoshen.

In his opinion, the Ming army only relied on sharp firearms to win in field battles. As long as I don't leave the city, can you still beat me to death through the city wall?

Huang Taiji had also heard about everything that happened on the Korean battlefield. He knew that the Ming army had invented something called a dynamite pack, which was so powerful that it could destroy city gates.But he keenly discovered a shortcoming of the explosive package, that is, the explosive package must be sent to a designated place to be ignited.

In response to this situation, Huang Taiji made a special deployment.He knew that sooner or later the Ming army would come to beat him.

Liaoyang is a big city, divided into south city and north city.

Nancheng has a circumference of sixteen miles, 290 five feet, and a height of three feet and three feet.There are six gates.

The North City is four li in circumference and has three gates.

He first ordered people to widen the moat outside the city, widening the moat to twenty feet wide, leaving only a one-foot-wide passage at the city gate.They dug round after round of trenches outside Liaoyang City.The trench is two feet wide and one foot deep, and it circles Liaoyang City five or six times like a mosquito coil.

A long passage was built on both sides of the city gate, with city walls on both sides. Only when you reach the end can you really enter the city.Whether it is cavalry or infantry, as long as they enter the passage, they will bear the blows from the walls on both sides.Boulders, kerosene, just ask you whether the invincible armor of the Ming army can withstand it.

This trick was inspired by the battle of Ningyuan, but the city wall of Ningyuan City protruded outwards, and he designed it to extend inwards.

The moat ensured that it was difficult for the Ming army to run to the foot of the city wall to place explosives, and the trench ensured that it was difficult for the Ming army to use the cavalry to quickly advance.

After that, Huang Taiji sent [-] elite cavalry to station at Chang'an Fort west of Liaoyang, waiting for an opportunity.

This is all the experience he summed up from Amin's rapid defeat on the Korean battlefield.

Ming Jun, come on.

Come hit me, I'm ready.

When the three of Zu Dashou led the army to the outside of Liaoyang City, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

What is this?

How to attack this city?

As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Zu Dashou called Man Gui and Zhao Liaojiao together.

"You two, this city of Liaoyang was treated like a bastard by Huangtai Jixiu, how did you beat it?"

Both were silent.

With the fortifications made like this, it might not be an easy task to break into the city.

"Didn't His Majesty send someone to send you a pack of explosives? Try first to see if you can blow the door open? The trench outside can be dug and filled by soldiers. You only need to fill in a road."

Zhao Ratejiao thought about it and expressed his opinion.

After hearing this, Zu Dashou felt that it made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Zu Dashou ordered the blasting team to blow up the city gate.

The blasting team was led by a general named Yan Zhangzhi.

He had already guessed it at the first sight of Liaoyang City. I am afraid that the enemy has already learned about the explosives on his side, and this bombing of the city gate may not go smoothly.

After receiving Zu Dashou's order, 50 people with two explosive packs on their backs rushed towards the city gate.

In Liaoyang City, Jierhalang was in charge of guarding the city. He was standing at the head of the city and building a pergola to watch the fifty demolition soldiers coming out from the Ming army camp.He had already ordered people to tear down the suspension bridge, and he couldn't think of any way for the Ming army to break into the city.

This is the soldier carrying the explosive bag, right?

Jierharang thought to himself.

He really wanted to see how powerful this explosive pack could be, so he beat his elder brother Amin and ran to the sea in embarrassment.

Fifty soldiers with dynamite packs climbed over the trenches to reach the range of Jiannu's bow and arrow, and were immediately covered by arrow rain.But it was easily blocked by the blasters with explosion-proof shields.

Seeing the arrows that bounced off the shield, Jierhalang's expression on the top of the wall changed slightly.

It was the first time he had seen this transparent shield, it looked like colored glaze, but why was it so strong.

The blasting team outside the city didn't talk nonsense, and directly ignited ten explosive packs and threw them at the gate of the city.The city gate was blasted open after a loud bang, and dozens of demolition soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Is it that easy?

Now that the city gate has been blasted, it is natural to go back and return to life.

Zu Dashou was organizing manpower to dig and fill the trench. He heard a loud noise and saw the city gate that was blown open.He waved his fist happily and shouted loudly.

"Quickly dig! The city gate has been blasted!"

When the soldiers heard this, they also speeded up.

The outer trenches are easy to fill because they are not within the range of bows and arrows.

When we reached the third floor inside, we were within the range of the bow and arrow.

Naturally, the slave soldiers guarding the city would not just watch them fill in the hole, draw their bows and arrows and shoot.

Although hiding behind shields as much as possible, it was inevitable that hundreds of people were shot dead.It's not that Zu Dashou never thought of building a bridge with wooden boards.But how thick is the plank to withstand the trampling of tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry?

At this time, the city gate is within easy reach, but the drawbridge has been demolished.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Zu Dashou waved his hand and gave the order.

Continue to fill in!

What are people afraid of?He doesn't care.

A large number of defenders gathered on both sides of the city gate tower, bowed their bows and set up arrows, shooting accurately.After paying more than 1000 casualties, the slightly narrower moat at the gate of the city was filled.

The infantry quickly cleared the passage, and Zu Dashou's [-] cavalrymen, who had already been ready to go, immediately charged towards the city gate roaring.Leading the army was the second lunatic Zu Dabi.

At this time, he took the lead and shouted excitedly.

My eldest brother is the supreme commander of this battle, so the credit for entering the city first cannot be given to others.

Seeing this, Man Gui and Zhao Lijiao were naturally not to be outdone, and after asking Zu Dashou for instructions, each sent out [-] cavalry to charge towards the city gate.

The moment he rushed into the city gate, Zu Dabi was overjoyed.

It's too simple, there is no resistance at all.

But he reacted in an instant.

No, why is there no resistance?

Forget it, don't care, let's rush in first.

He galloped his horse, as if Huang Taiji's head was waiting for him to chop off.

After leaving the city gate, I found that I had entered a passage nearly twice as wide as the city gate. The walls on both sides of the passage were full of soldiers guarding the city.At this time, the bow was fully drawn, facing himself and the cavalry behind him.And ahead, there is another city gate.

"Not good! Go back!"

With this dazed effort, he has already rushed forward dozens of steps.

Zu Dabi yelled, wanting to rein in his horse.

But it was too late.

The general on the top of the city gave an order, and the bows and arrows shot down like rain.Accompanied by stones larger than the head.

Zu Dabi turned around and saw the cavalry rushing in behind him, a wave of despair welled up in his heart.

Damn it!This is the first time I have seen such a city in such a big age!

At this time, thousands of cavalry had rushed in, and before they realized what was going on, they bumped into the oncoming arrows and stones.

The cavalry outside the city didn't know what happened, but still wanted to charge in.

The cavalry in the city shouted that there was an ambush and wanted to run out.

The two sides were blocked inside and outside the city gate.

Zu Dabi was hit by six arrows and fell off his horse. He did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Cavalry who entered the passage were shot to death with arrows or stoned to death.Very few can escape.

The soldiers huddled outside the city were also targeted by the defenders at the top of the city. They didn't even need to aim, they just drew their bows and shot.

Although Zu Dashou didn't know what happened in the city, but seeing the cavalry who had already entered the city wanting to rush out, he also guessed that there must be an ambush inside.With a gloomy face, he hastily issued an order to retreat.

I knew that the troops of the two of them would enter the city first.

Man Gui and Zhao led the way to learn from others, and also ordered the cavalry who rushed out to retreat.But the problem was that the filled trench was only so wide, and the troops outside the city fell into chaos for a while.

If it wasn't for Zu Dabi's rush to attack, he would not have sent vanguards into the city to explore the way.

But there are so many ifs in the world. When the results come out, no one watches the process.

Just as the three were desperately directing the soldiers to retreat, something even more terrifying happened.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded from the rear, and ten thousand elite Jian Eight Banners soldiers rushed to them!

The leader is Mangurtai.

At this time, he was gnashing his teeth and staring at the Ming army's phalanx.

I was beaten back and forth, and this time I don't have the firearms I used to have. Let me see what you can use to resist the Eight Banners warriors!Manggurtai's thoughts represented the thoughts of a large part of the slave soldiers, and all of them were fully prepared to avenge their shame.

Naturally, Zu Dashou and others could not be unprepared. Seeing the Jiannu cavalry rushing, they immediately lined up to meet the enemy.

The chariots are in front, the musketeers and infantry are in the rear, and the cavalry are divided into left and right wings.

The first battle of the Ming army to regain lost ground.

It started.
