Chapter 461: Entering the city(1/2)
The sky full of explosives was flying around.
In fact, this explosive pack creates a great psychological impact on people, but in addition to the huge fires caused and the thick smoke caused, it is extremely lethal.
There is another kind of killing that is extremely terrible.
That is when this is the time when a large number of people gather.
Once gathered, artillery fire attacked the city.
People's hearts are in chaos.
At this time, it is very easy to cause crowds to trample.
And now, Dorgon finally gathered 20,000 people.
These people gathered together, and at this time, the artillery fire outside the city continued to stop, and suddenly became in chaos again.
At this time, several explosive packs were smashed into the place not far.
So, everyone's faces looked like earth.
After a brief silence, someone finally screamed.
Then, the people who were holding weapons and screaming to kill out were fleeing to each other like crazy.
This chaos doesn't matter.
But everyone gathered too closely.
So much so that they trampled on each other.
Boom...
The explosive pack not far away exploded.
Dozens of people fell down because they were too close.
But more people were like frightened birds in panic, fleeing their lives in terror.
The smoke of gunpowder rose, and everyone no longer cared about the direction.
Someone was knocked down.
The person who knocked down could no longer get up.
Because countless feet on his left and right were trampled on him, and some people fell down, and then more and more people fell down.
Fortunately, Dorgon rode on the horse, and the frightened horse quickly stepped on several people and ran away.
The other cavalry were frightened by the horses, lost control, and rushed around.
So the poor Han soldiers were in trouble and wanted to charge for their masters just now, but their bones were shattered by their masters.
Although many flag soldiers were on horseback, the war horses were out of control and the people were also dropped. This was lucky. What's even more unfortunate is that their feet were still pulled on the stirrups and were entangled by the ropes of the stirrups. The war horses ran wildly, but the people had already landed on the ground. So they were dragged by people and came out on the ground.
There are crying everywhere, dad and mom calling.
Those who survived by chance only want to go back and see their own family.
So he went back to his home in a mad manner in the fire of the artillery.
The Han army, which had finally gathered together, scattered at this point, and they really didn't care about their master at this time.
Hong Chengchou was already panicked. He had no family at all here, but when he thought that he had just surrendered, Jiannu was about to be destroyed, and he suddenly had an urge to cry without tears.
His heart was already confused, but at this moment, Fan Wencheng was already running wildly to the side, faster than a rabbit.
Hong Chengchou hurriedly chased after him, and there was an explosion around him. Hong Chengchou shouted: "Mr. Fan..."
When Fan Wencheng saw someone chasing him, he immediately showed his timidity and fear, hid in a corner, trembling.
"Mr. Fan, why not chase the master..."
"Master is finished." Fan Wencheng has shown a look of despair at this moment and said with trembling lips: "Don't you understand it now? Our master... He is finished, what is the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry... I thought they were really invincible in the world, and I thought they would seize the world sooner or later. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is so stupid... But now... it's over, it's over."
Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng shed tears and said sadly: "I have been here with them for many years. I thought I would be rich in the future, but I didn't expect it to be a dream."
When Hong Chengchou heard this, he felt the same bitterness: "How about Mr. Fan?"
Fan Wencheng said without thinking: "Of course welcoming the King's Army into the city."
After pausing, Fan Wencheng continued, "Today, where can you and I escape? There is no more way to go in the world. I know many secrets of Jiannu, some of which were learned from the master, and some were collected on weekdays! When the army enters the city, I will go to serve him. Mr. Hong, you and I are both scholars and have served for the master. It is considered a fate. You should surrender with me."
"Subdued..." Hong Chengchou looked confused.
His eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fan Wencheng, you advised me to surrender to Jiannu, and today I advised me to surrender to Ming? Who do you think of me?"
Fan Wencheng dusted the dust on his body, looked at the devastated city, and there were roars everywhere in the distance, and said, "It's time and time. If you don't want to, it's your business. If I'm you, I will lead my troops anyway..."
After saying that, I won’t stay any longer and I will go there in a flash.
At this time, Dorgon returned to the palace.
Seeing the coldness in the palace, people had already run away, but there were only a few guards around him.
This time the shelling lasted only half an hour.
Zhang Jingyi, who was outside the city, looked at the incense burning beside him. He knew that the time was short, so he couldn't help asking an officer behind him: "Go and ask what's going on?"
After a while, someone came to report: "My teacher, there are still many gunpowder bags, and it will be fine if you blow it for half an hour. But... the rubber mat is gone, and the thing is gone, and it is not far away, so the shelling stops."
After hearing this, Zhang Jing said regretfully: "This is a logistical issue, and we will review it next time."
If this artillery wants to reach its range, the most important thing is to be closed. To put it bluntly, it will leak air, and the power of the propulsion medicine will be greatly reduced.
When Franji and the Netherlands came to the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Jingyi proposed to them to purchase rubber.
These rubbers were introduced and planted by the Franchise people from America. At this time, they did not know the purpose of rubber. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty was willing to spend money, so they naturally sent a lot of people to transport them.
These rubbers are the best sealing materials in the world, especially when it comes to artillery applications, first add propulsion medicine, then fill it with partition, and finally fill it with rubber. At this time, add a gunpowder pack, and the range can even be directly increased many times.
Emperor Tianqi said, "Why is there no movement in the city? I'm still waiting for them to come out."
Zhang Jingyi said speechlessly: "I see a large number of fires in the city, but I'm afraid I can't kill them."
"Now enter the city?" Emperor Aoki looked eager to try.
Zhang Jing shook her head: "Wait a little longer. Now there are thick smoke everywhere and fires everywhere. In my humble opinion, it is better to enter the city later."
Emperor Tianqi held his hands behind his back and sighed: "When I entered the city, I'm tired, so I'm going to take a break."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Thousands of soldiers were on standby.
Some people rest directly on the position.
However, the Dongjiang army could not sleep. They never expected that they could come to Shenyang City, and they never expected that Shenyang would be destroyed under their noses.
Many people were eagerly waiting for the order to attack, looking at the rolling smoke in the city, seeing the raging fires rising everywhere, they just wanted to break into the city immediately.
At noon, the north wind yelled.
The fire suddenly broke out in Chenyang City, where the fire had weakened. The fire took advantage of the wind and the smoke and dust were everywhere in the sky.
There were calls hidden in the city, but people outside the city were still waiting with breath.
The Donglin Army teams have begun to assemble.
The officers of each team have already begun to be arranged to enter the city.
They gathered the teams, took out the map of Chenyang City, and then painted the location where their team was to settle in front of the students.
These students already have drawing homework courses. If you only look at the map, you will probably understand where you want to attack.
After that, the officers sent their mentors' orders: "After entering the city, they must not harass the people, they must not loot, and if there is no resistance, they must not kill people easily. This is a prohibition. If there is a stubborn resistance, they must fight back immediately. Everyone must be careful and be careful of dark guns and cold arrows. In the city, do not trust anyone. All food is supplied outside the city, and they must not eat any food or drinking water in the city."
Everyone agreed.
At this time, everyone was eager to try.
Just wait for the final attack order to be issued.
finally……
A team of people first took the initiative to investigate, and rode their horses to a collapsed city wall to investigate.
After a few incense sticks, they finally came back.
It basically reported the situation in the city.
The fire in the city... was almost extinguished when there was no burning.
But the smoke and dust are still very large.
Other situations are slightly better, and there seems to be no more organized resistance in it. Of course, it is not ruled out that small groups of enemies will harass them.
In addition... Most of the military and civilians, if they are still alive, are already scared, and they stay where they are and dare not move around.
As for the situation inside, they had no way to investigate without going deep into the city.
Zhang Jingyi reported all these situations to Emperor Aoki one by one.
Emperor Tianqi's eyes were clear at this time. After listening to Zhang Jingyi's report, he clenched his fists and spit out two words: "Enter the city."
To be continued...
