Part One: Penghu Storm Chapter 570 The Burning Shengjing (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Now it¡¯s unlimited offense!

    A coalition of soldiers and pirates from the Huben Guards was wreaking havoc in Shengjing.  Where the Tiger Guards soldiers passed by, fires were burning and terrible gunshots were heard.

    This is the biggest disaster in Shengjing!

    In fact, Shengjing did not know at this time that they were anxious, and the generals of the Huben Guard were even more anxious than them.  Every extra minute to occupy Shengjing will free up one more minute to reinforce Ding Yunyi, the warrior king of Shanhaiguan!

    The artillery was pushed into Shengjing. Amidst the "rumbling" sound of the artillery, the artillery shells ravaged every place in Shengjing.

    Flames engulfed the streets where the Tiger Guards passed, and gunshots filled every house that the Tiger Guards passed by.  If this terrible scene will ever end, every Shengjing person who survived will not be able to forget this most terrible day.

    The Manchus also tried their best to block the enemy's attack there. They could not tolerate this place falling into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but at least now it seems that their resistance is so weak.

    Three hundred Qing troops formed a defense line at one end of the street. They held bows and arrows in their hands and stared at the enemy on the opposite side. 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 one day he would stand in Shengjing, a city full of people, and would soon conquer this place.

    But the three hundred Qing troops in front of them looked so dazzling.

    The pirates under his command roared and rushed forward, but they were quickly hit by bows and arrows.  A dozen pirates fell to the ground at once.

    Hai Nixiong was furious. His anger was that Shengjing had become like this, but those people on the opposite side who didn't know whether to live or die actually dared to resist like this!

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

    The resistance is still so tenacious.  .  .  .  .  .

    This Qing army seems to have made up its mind and will never take a step back until it fights to the last man.  To be honest, this is a very difficult time for both parties.

    The Manchus must resist hard and hold on to their last hope; and the same.  Life for Hubenwei was not easy either.  After all, Shengjing was a strange place to them. The power of artillery was greatly restricted after entering the city, and time was also very important to them.

    Now, to some extent, it is also a matter of fighting for their perseverance.  .  .  .  .  .

    Just like the current sea mud bear.

    Time and time again, Hai Nixiong braved the opponent's arrows and commanded his men to bombard the opponent. Each time, he was able to knock down some people, but each time the tenacious Qing troops continued to make up for it.

    The situation is very simple, some of Hainixiong¡¯s subordinates are constantly falling.  .  .  .  .  .

    Sounds of angry shouts came from the mouths of the pirate leaders, big and small. They pushed hard, almost inch by inch.  And nearby pirates also began to send reinforcements here.

    It took more than half an hour for the defense line composed of 300 Qing troops to be completely defeated.

    The remaining seven or eight Qing soldiers.  Seeing that they had lost their last hope, they threw away their bows and arrows and rushed forward with swords and guns roaring.

    Dozens of muskets fired simultaneously.  .  .  .  .  .

    "Three hundred corpses, none of them can escape. In fact, they didn't want to escape from the beginning.  .  .  .  .  .  Following the Tiger Guards, Haini Bear has also gone through many battles, but this is the first time he has seen such a tenacious resistance like this one.  .  .  .  .  .

    The night sky in Shengjing, as bright as day, faithfully recorded everything today.  .  .  .  .  .

    In the palace.  News kept coming that Azig, who had retreated from the city gate, was the most terrifying person among the Manchus who had seen the Tiger Guards!

    He told his companions with some frustration that with the existing strength of Shengjing, it was impossible to stop the Tiger Guards from advancing. There is only one way now:

    Organize all the forces that can be organized and take advantage of the fact that the Huben Guards have not occupied the entire city of Shengjing.  Fight a bloody path as quickly as possible and protect the Emperor and Queen Mother as they rush out of here.

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

    "Who can take on this important task?" Jierhalang's eyes swept over the faces of the Manchu generals one by one. When his eyes fell on Hauge, he became motionless.

    Hauge immediately understood the meaning in Jierhalang¡¯s eyes, and he stepped forward.He took a step forward and said, "Assistant King. Let me go."

    Jirharang nodded. Among so many people, no one is more suitable for this task than Hauge: "Hauge, I will give you three thousand elite soldiers, all of whom were trained by me"  ¡±

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

    Hauge was startled for a moment, but then Bumu Butai asked: "Baoge Zhen, give him three thousand Royal Forest Army soldiers!"

    "Queen Mother!" Several Manchu soldiers became anxious. Jierhalang hurriedly said: "The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army must not move, just in case"

    "There is nothing wrong" Although Bumbutai is a woman, she still showed her decisiveness at this time: "Whether we can kill the blood and protect the emperor is what we should be most concerned about now.  Yes, if the enemy comes to the palace, do you think these Royal Forest Army soldiers can protect our mother and son? "

    Jilharang, Azig and others looked at each other, then nodded silently.  .  .  .  .  .

    "Hauge!" Jierhalang 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 and go to the Qing Dynasty for me.  The emperor will fight his way out!"

    "Don't worry!" Haug shouted: "Bahana, Nushan, come with me and die for the Qing Dynasty!"

    This is the last desperate attack of the Manchus.  .  .  .  .  .

    Eight thousand people, eight thousand people densely packed.  You can't even see the end at a glance.  The task they shoulder is 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 as the left army! Nushan, you lead two thousand people as the right army, and I am the center!" Haug's voice rang in everyone's ears, and then he pulled out his sword: "  For the Qing Dynasty!¡±

    "For the Qing Dynasty!"

    The city of Shengjing was broken, and when the last moment came, eight thousand Qing soldiers organized the most violent counterattack.  .  .  .  .  .

    Although preparations had been made for a possible counterattack by the Qing soldiers, it was still somewhat unexpected that the Qing soldiers were so ferocious.  The footsteps of the attacking Tiger Guards soldiers paused.

    Suddenly, really suddenly.  The surging Qing army swept in like a tide, and part of the Ming army was quickly overwhelmed.  Some even had no time to organize effective blocking.

    When organizing the Shengjing raid before, Ding Yunyi carefully analyzed three possible situations with his subordinates.  The first is that Shengjing is captured and the Manchu Qing court in Shengjing is destroyed. Erhu and Benwei can take advantage of the situation to shake the determination of the Manchus, reinforce Shanhaiguan, and determine the world situation in one fell swoop. This is the most ideal outcome.

    The second situation is that Shengjing is so strong that it cannot be captured, and the Tiger Guards return without success. This is the most terrifying situation.

    The third scenario is that Sheng Jing was beaten down.  However, the Manchu emperor, ministers and other key personnel escaped and completed the rendezvous with Dorgon at Shanhaiguan.  Then the Manchus could still resist, but the situation became complicated and confusing.

    Although Ding Yunyi once said that the third situation is acceptable once Shengjing is attacked, even if the Manchu emperor and ministers run away, it will be the heaviest blow to the Manchu confidence and morale, but those who fought bloody battles here will  The generals of the Huben Guards were absolutely unwilling to see this happen.  .  .  .  .  .

    Now, the Manchus obviously want to break out.  .  .  .  .  .

    There was only one direction for the Qing army to break out: Dadongmen Gate. Otherwise, if they broke out anywhere else, they might be surrounded by the Ming army.  After they were about to break through, they were unable to complete the rendezvous with Dorgon in the direction of Shanhaiguan!

    The generals of Huben Guard knew very well that this might be the last fiercest battle in Shengjing. As long as the enemy's force was defeated, there would be no strong obstacles to the capture of Shengjing!

    A large number of new troops entering the city quickly gathered at Dadongmen Gate, and the newly transported artillery began to be placed densely.

    When large groups of enemies appear, there is no need for generals at all levels to issue orders.  The gunners had already smashed the shells hard.  .  .  .  .  .

    Cannonballs exploded among the Qing troops, and the Qing troops who were charging fell down in droves.  .  .  .  .  .  But these determined Qing troops rushed forward regardless of casualties.  .  .  .  .  .

    There were so many enemies that some of the cannonballs were too late to be launched.  .  .  .  .  .  Fortunately, new reinforcements arrived on the battlefield in time.  and jump into battle as soon as possible.

    This happened in Shengjing??A duel between firearms and cold weapons!

    The sound of artillery was accompanied by the intensive sound of gunfire. The terrifying scene made all the soldiers participating in the battle unbelievable. Even Ye Dahai, who happened to arrive here and stayed here to command, felt a kind of shock.

    Thousands of Qing troops didn't care at all what terrible weapons they were facing. One group died, and then another group rushed forward.  .  .  .  .  .  Then another batch died, and another batch rushed up.  .  .  .  .  .  For them, death has simply become the most common thing, and their only mission is to rush through here.  .  .  .  .  .

    The Manchus came to fight for their lives. This was the strongest feeling in Ye Dahai's heart.  .  .  .  .  .

    Fortunately, the Hu Ben Guards had an absolute advantage in front of them with their firearms. If they had not relied on these terrible firearms, they might have been able to break through the defense line by these Manchus.  .  .  .  .  .

    This time the attack on Shengjing was divided into three fleets, and behind them, there was a steady stream of supporting troops and supplies arriving, which also ensured the possibility of victory in the Shengjing attack to the greatest extent.

    Gradually, about 3,000 artillery and musketeers arrived in the direction of Dadongmen Gate, forming a very terrifying line of death defense.

    The shells continued to draw perfect arcs from behind, falling into the enemy formation one by one. The muskets in the hands of the musketeers in front continued to make terrifying roars, killing any target they could see.

    On the battlefield.  A large area of ??densely packed corpses had fallen down.  .  .  .  .  .  The smell of blood in the air can make any strong general feel like vomiting.  .  .  .  .  .

    Killing battlefield, this is a real killing battlefield!

    The Qing army retreated for the third time. Hauge's eyes were bloodshot. He knew very well what time meant to them. The enemy's reinforcements were constantly arriving. If they didn't fight a bloody road as soon as possible, then it would really be impossible.  Everything is finished!

    "Bahana, aren't you called a warrior?" Hauge's voice became extremely cold: "Are you afraid in front of those Han people?"

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

    "Vicious?" Hauge's tone became more severe: "Your soldiers are going to die one after another, what about you? Why are you still living here? Are you a coward?"

    The word "coward" made Haug feel extremely insulted.  He asked someone to buy him a war horse, and then got on the horse: "Prince Su, just watch, this time either I will fight my way out, or my body will fall on the road of charge!"

    As he spoke, he waved his sword: "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, follow me and charge!"

    There were still more than 1,500 left in the left army at this time. Although they were frightened by the Ming army's firearms attack, they were encouraged by Bahana.  He rushed forward desperately again!

    At this time, the right army commanded by Nushan also launched an attack at the same time.

    A mighty team of several thousand people rushed forward!

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

    "Thousands of troops." Many, many years later, one of them participated in the Shengjing attack.  And the surviving Huben Guard veterans told their children and grandchildren:

    "I have fought quite a few battles before, but I have never seen such a crazy attack. Those Manchus really seemed to be crazy. They rushed forward layer by layer, regardless of life or death  . . . Our artillery shells kept hitting them, but they still rushed forward.  They even rushed in front of them, but fortunately our spear soldiers and sword and shield soldiers blocked them At that time, there were still spear soldiers and sword and shield soldiers.  Protecting us musketeers. The spearmen and sword and shield soldiers have been eliminated for a long time. I remember that the enemy finally rushed up after paying heavy casualties.  It¡¯s a tough fight, but it¡¯s not what we imagined.¡±

    The veteran remembers that day very clearly. He and his companions were all red-eyed and even numb from the killing.  I have no idea what happened on the battlefield.  When the Qing army rushed in, he and his companions were preparing to engage in hand-to-hand bayonet combat when they suddenly discovered:

    There are only more than a hundred Qing soldiers!

    It¡¯s really hard to imagine.  Such a huge charge, but only about a hundred people rushed in front of them.  Where have the remaining enemies gone?

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

    In front, the enemy's "troops" are in front.  But it was a pile of corpses.  .  .  .  .  .

    "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, and you can't imagine how terrible it was. I looked over and saw corpses stacked on top of each other.  , the human corpses and the horse corpses were mixed together, and the ground was almost turning into a river I had a companion, but he suddenly turned around and had a big mouth.  I vomited it out loudly, but I couldn¡¯t. . . . Yes, Ye Dahai is the one-armed and scarred general who has participated in many battles.  How many people had he killed? He was not far away from me that day, and I could clearly see the expression on General Ye¡¯s face.

    The veteran swore that he would never forget that night in his life, and Naha also swore that he would never forget that night.

    ¡°Almost all of the more than 1,500 elite soldiers were killed by the Ming army¡¯s repeated killings.  Are there any cowards among them?  No!  Every one of them who died died in the path of the charge, with their heads pointing forward.

    But why can¡¯t we rush through?

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

    There were dozens of cavalry left around him, and Bahana pointed his sword forward: "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, let's charge again!"

    Everyone knows that no matter how many times they charge, there is no hope, but at this time their hearts are already dead. There is nothing more terrifying than heart death!

    Under the leadership of Bahana, these dozens of Manchu cavalry launched the final charge. In fact, they already knew what the result would be.

    Ahead, there is simply a road of death.  .  .  .  .  .  But what choices do they have now?

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

    No one can save Shengjing¡¯s fate!
