Chapter 570 The Burning Shengjing (Part 2)

Now it is an unlimited attack!

The soldiers of the Hu Ben Guard and the pirates were raging in Shengjing. Where the soldiers of the Hu Ben Guard passed by were burning with fires and terrifying gunfires.

This is the biggest disaster in Shengjing!

In fact, Shengjing didn't know at this time. They were anxious. The generals of the Hu Ben Guard were even more anxious than them. Every time one more minute occupied Shengjing, they could free up one more minute to reinforce the Wulie King Ding Yunyi of Shanhaiguan!

The artillery was pushed into Shengjing. Amid the "rumbling" sounds of cannons, the shells ravaged every place in Shengjing.

The flames swallowed the streets where the Hu Ben Guard passed, and gunshots swept over every house where the Hu Ben Guard passed. If this terrible scene would end, every Shengjing person who survived could not forget this most terrifying day.

Manren also did everything they could to block the enemy's attack. They could not tolerate this place falling into the hands of the Ming people, but at least it seems that their resistance is so weak now.

Three hundred Qing troops formed a line of defense at one end of the street. They held bows and arrows in their hands and stared at the enemy opposite. They seemed to have decided to defend this place with their lives and block the Ming army's continued advancement.

The sea mud bear is here!

The big pirate leader was filled with excitement at this moment. He never dreamed that he would stand in Shengjing, a man of the crowd, and would soon conquer this place.

But the three hundred Qing soldiers in front of them looked so eye-catching.

The pirates under their command rushed up roaring, but they were quickly hit by bows and arrows. More than a dozen pirates fell to the ground in an instant.

The sea mud bear was furious. His anger was that Sheng Jing had become like this, and those who were ignorant of life and death on the other side actually dared to resist like this!

Pirates holding muskets appeared. When the muskets roared, the Qing army fell down a row, but then a new Qing army filled the vacancy left by their companions.

Resistance is still so tenacious...

This Qing army seemed to have made up its mind and would never take a step back until the last person. To be honest, it is a very difficult time for both sides.

Manchus must struggle to resist and hold on to their last hope; and the life of the Hu Ben Guard is not easy. After all, Shengjing is a strange place for them. After entering the city, the power of the cannons was greatly limited, and time is also very important to them.

Now, to some extent, they are also fighting for their perseverance...

Just like the sea mud bear now.

The sea mud bear braved the opponent's rain of arrows again and again, and was able to knock down some people every time, but the tenacious Qing army continued to make up for it.

The situation is very simple, and some of the subordinates of Hai Mud Bear are also falling down...

Angry shouts came from the mouths of the pirates and leaders, and they pushed forward hard, almost inch by inch. The nearby pirates also began to reinforce here.

It took half an hour to completely defeat the defense line composed of 300 Qing troops.

The remaining seven and eight Qing soldiers, seeing that they had lost their last hope, threw their bows and arrows, and rushed up with swords and guns.

Dozens of muskets fired at the same time...

None of the three hundred corpses could escape. In fact, they didn't want to run from the beginning... Following the Hu Ben Guard, the Sea Mud Bear also went through many wars, but this was the first time he had seen such a tenacious resistance like this time...

Like the daytime night sky of Shengjing faithfully records everything today...

There was constant news in the palace that Ajige, who had retreated from the city gate, was the most real terrifying person among these Manchus who had seen the Hu Ben Guard!

He told his companions a little depressedly that with Shengjing's existing strength, it is impossible to stop the advancement of the Hu Ben Guard. There is only one way to do now:

Organize all the forces that can be organized, and take advantage of the fact that the Hu Ben Guard has not occupied the entire city of Shengjing. He will fight out a bloody path as soon as possible and protect the Empress Dowager from here.

This seems to be the only feasible solution at the moment...

"Who can take on this important task?" Jirgalang's eyes swept across the faces of the generals one by one, and when his eyes fell on Haoge, he stopped moving.

Haug immediately understood what Jirgalang's eyes meant, and he stepped forward and took a step: "Assistant King, let me go."

Jirgalang nodded. Among so many people, no one is more suitable for this task than Haoge: "Haoge, I will give you three thousand elite soldiers, all of which are trained by me..."

"I will also give you two thousand elite soldiers..." Aziger said.

Haoge was stunned for a moment, but then Bumubutai asked, "Baoge is really, transfer three thousand imperial guards to him!"

"Empress Dowager!" Several soldiers of the crowd became anxious immediately. Jirhalang hurriedly said, "The soldiers of the Imperial Army must not move, if..."

"There's nothing more..." Although Bumubutai was a woman, she still showed her decisiveness at this time: "Can we fight the bloody path and protect the emperor are the most concerned about now. If the enemy kills the palace, do you think these Imperial Guards can protect us mother and son?"

Jirgalang, Ajige and others looked at each other, then nodded silently...

"Haoge!" Jirhalang suddenly raised his voice loudly: "Eight thousand soldiers, eight thousand soldiers! This is the last strength I can give you! Take these eight thousand soldiers to fight for my Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Don't worry!" Haoge said loudly: "Bahana, Nushan, come with me, let's die for the Qing Dynasty!"

This is the last attack that the man was desperately betting...

There were eight thousand people, eight thousand people densely packed with them. There was no head at all. The task they shouldered was the most "sacred" for these people:

They must use their lives to fight a bloody path for their emperor!

"Bahana, you lead two thousand people to the left army! Nushan, you lead two thousand people to the right army, I am the center!" Haoge's voice sounded in everyone's ears, and then he pulled out his battle knife: "For the Qing Dynasty!"

"For the Qing Dynasty!"

Shengjing City was broken, and when the last moment came, the eight thousand Qing soldiers organized the most fierce counterattack...

Although they had long been preparing for the possible counterattack of the Qing soldiers, it was still somewhat unexpected that the Qing soldiers were so fierce. The footsteps of the Hu Ben Guard soldiers who were attacking paused.

Suddenly, it was really very sudden. The surging Qing army swept over like a tide, and some of the Ming army were quickly destroyed by it. Some did not even have time to organize an effective blockade.

When organizing the Shengjing raid, Ding Yunyi carefully analyzed three possible situations with his subordinates. The first is that Shengjing was captured and the Qing court in Shengjing was destroyed. The Hu Benwei could take advantage of the situation to shake the determination of Manchu people, reinforce Shanhaiguan, and decide the situation in the world in one fell swoop. This is the most ideal result.

The second situation is that Shengjing's strength makes it impossible to be conquered, and the Hu Benwei returns without success, which is the most terrifying situation.

The third situation is that Shengjing was defeated. However, the Manchu emperors, ministers and other major personnel fled and met with Dorgon from Shanhaiguan. Then the Manchus could still resist, and the situation became confusing.

Although Ding Yunyi once said that once a third situation occurs, it is acceptable. Even if the Manchu emperors and ministers run away, their confidence and morale will be the heaviest blow to Manchu, the generals of the Hu Ben Guard who fought bloody here will never want to see this situation...

Now, Manren obviously wants to break through...

The Qing army had only one direction to break through: Dadong was closed. In addition, they could be surrounded by the Ming army when they broke through. After they were about to break through, they could not complete their reunion with Dorgon in the direction of Shanhaiguan!

The generals of the Hu Ben Guard knew very clearly that this might be Shengjing's last and most intense battle. As long as the enemy's troops were defeated, there would be no strong obstacles to Shengjing's capture!

A large number of newly entered the city quickly gathered at Dadongguanmen, and the newly transported artillery began to be placed in intensive manner.

When a large number of enemies appear, there is no need for generals at all levels to issue orders. The gunners have already smashed the shells out...

The shells bloomed among the Qing army, and the Qing army charging in groups fell down... But these Qing troops, who had already made up their minds, rushed forward without regard to casualties...

There were too many enemies, and some shells were even too late to fire... Fortunately, the new reinforcements arrived at the battlefield in time and entered the battle as soon as possible.

This is another match between firearms and cold weapons that took place in Shengjing!

The sound of cannons accompanied by the dense sound of gunfire, and the terrifying scene made all the soldiers participating in the war unable to believe it. Even Ye Dahai, who happened to arrive here and stayed here to command, felt a sense of shock.

Thousands of Qing troops didn't care how terrible weapons they were facing. A group of them died, and then another group rushed up... Then another group died, another group... For them, death was simply the most common thing, and their only task was to rush through here...

Manren came to work hard, this is the strongest feeling in Ye Dahai's heart...

Fortunately, the Hu Ben Guard's firearms have an absolute advantage. If it weren't for relying on these terrible firearms, they might have really been broken through the defense line by these people...

This time the raid on Shengjing was divided into three fleets, and behind them, there were continuous arrivals of support troops and materials, which also ensured the possibility of victory in the Shengjing attack battle to the greatest extent.

Gradually, about 3,000 artillery and musketeers arrived one after another in the direction of Dadongguanmen, which formed a very terrifying line of defense for death.

The shells kept drawing perfect arcs behind and landed one by one into the enemy formation. The musketeers in front kept making terrifying roars, killing any target they could see.

On the battlefield, a large area of ​​dense corpses had fallen down... The bloody smell of the air could make any strong general feel vomiting...

Killing battlefield, this is a real killing battlefield!

The Qing army retreated for the third time, and Haoge's eyes were open red. He knew too much about what time meant to them. The enemy reinforcements were constantly arriving. If they did not break out a bloody path as soon as possible, then everything would be done!

"Bahana, aren't you known as a warrior?" Haoge's voice became extremely cold: "Are you scared in front of those Han people?"

"Prince Su, the enemy's artillery guns are so fierce!" Bahana loudly defended himself.

"Ferce?" Haoge's tone became increasingly severe: "Your soldiers are dying one after another. What about you? Why are you still living here? Are you a coward?"

The word "coward" made Haoge feel greatly insulted. He asked someone to exchange for a war horse for himself, and then turned over to the horse: "Prince Su, look at it. This time, either I will fight for a way out, or my body will fall on the charge road!"

As he said that, he waved his sword: "The warriors of the Qing Dynasty, follow me!"

At this time, the left army had more than 1,500 people left. Although they were very frightened by the attack of Ming munitions, they rushed up again with the encouragement of Bahana!

At this time, the Right Army, who was commanding in Nushan, also launched an attack at the same time.

A large team of thousands of people rushed up!

Only those who are on the battlefield that day can know what happened that day...

"That's a force of thousands." Many years later, a veteran of the Hu Ben Guard who participated in the Shengjing attack war and survived told his children and grandchildren:

"I have fought not many battles before, but I have never seen such a crazy attack. The people really seemed to be crazy. They rushed up layer by layer, completely regardless of their lives... Our shells kept hitting them, our muskets kept hitting them, they died layer by layer, but they were still rushing forward densely... There were several times when they even rushed in front of them, but fortunately our spearmen and sword and shield soldiers blocked them tightly... At that time, it was not like now, and there were spearmen and sword and shield soldiers protecting us muskets. The spearmen and sword and shield soldiers have long been eliminated... I remember the most critical time, the enemy finally rushed up after suffering major casualties. We thought there would be a fierce battle, but in fact it was different from what we imagined..."

The veteran remembered very clearly that day, he and his companions were already in their eyes, and even the killing was numb. He had no idea what was going on on the battlefield. When the Qing army rushed in, he and his companions were about to fight with bayonets and hand-to-hand combat, they suddenly discovered:

There are only more than one hundred Qing soldiers!

It is really hard to imagine. With such a huge charge, there were only a hundred people rushing in front of him. Where did the remaining enemies go?

The veteran and his companions looked forward and finally found the answer to the question...

In front, the enemy's "troop" is right in front. But it is a corpse on the ground...

"As soon as I close my eyes, I can think of that day..." The veteran told his children and grandchildren in a daze: "You have never experienced the battlefield personally, and you can't imagine how terrible it is. I looked at it, and the corpses were stacked with corpses, human corpses and horse corpses were mixed together. The ground was covered with blood, and it was almost turned into a small river... I have a companion, and he is also a veteran, but he suddenly turned around and vomited out big mouthfuls. I also wanted to vomit, but I couldn't vomit... Ye Dahai knew? Yes, it was the one-armed scarred general in our army. How many battles have he participated in and how many people he killed in his hands? That day he was not far from me. I could clearly see General Ye's face with the firelight...."

The veteran vowed that he would never forget that night in his life, and he vowed that he would not forget that night.

More than 1,500 elite soldiers died almost all of them under the repeated killings of the Ming army. Are there any cowards among them? No! Everyone who died in the battle was dead on the road to charge, and their heads were moving forward.

But why can't you rush over?

Bahana knew that he was finished. He once swore to Prince Su, "This time I will either fight for a way out, or my body will fall on the road to charge." Now, it is time to fulfill his promise!

There were dozens of cavalry left by his side, and Bahana pointed his sword forward: "The warriors of the Qing Dynasty, let's charge again!"

Everyone knows that no matter how many charges, there is no hope, but at this time their hearts are dead, and nothing is more terrifying than death!

Under the leadership of Bahana, these dozens of Qing cavalry launched the last charge, and they were actually very clear about the result.

In front, there is simply a road to death... But what other choices can they have now?

Bahana fell in a pool of blood, and he was about to die. Before he died, his eyes were still staring at the sky of Shengjing. He was unwilling to give up, really unwilling to have such an ending. Could it be that the fate of the Qing Dynasty really ended here? Is no one able to save the Qing Dynasty?
