Chapter Five Hundred and Fiftieth Nine Deaths Baoding City

With the sound of cannons, an iron ball was shot out from Baoding City, spinning for more than two miles in the air and suddenly fell to the ground. A red flag-clad warrior wearing double armor was hit by the iron ball, and his body was scattered all over the ground as if he was dismembered by five horses. Before the warrior warriors on the side understood what was going on, a large stream of blood sprayed on their faces.

The iron ball did not stop moving forward, but continued to roar backwards. The three red flag soldiers in a straight line could not even dodge, so they became dead souls under the ball.

The iron ball fell to the ground, smashed a deep pit on the ground and suddenly bounced up again. Screams and avoidance sounds came one after another. The person who was shot was broken and the bones were broken and the flesh was blurred, which was a terrible sight.

More than a dozen solid bullets hit the Manchu soldiers behind again. The shells were very powerful and they ejected as soon as they landed. Large solid iron balls weighing dozens of kilograms were shuttled through the Manchu soldiers. All the people were rotten, and each time they bounced, they would take away a life.

The death of being hit by an iron ball is really terrifying. If there is a choice, those Manchu soldiers who hold their broken legs would rather be stabbed to death with one knife.

Many Manchu soldiers who were shot were torn in shape, and they could not even be matched together. The broken legs and arms were exposed, and the bones were exposed, and the sections were flat.

Except for those who were directly hit by the vitals and "five horses were dismembered" on the spot, all the other Manchu soldiers who were shot died of heavy bleeding and suffered from pain.

In front of the shell, not to mention wearing double armor, even the whole body of iron armor will penetrate it with one blow.

The red flag armored armored and pointed helmet of Lazhangjing Samushka was directly hit by an iron ball, which may be the protection of the armor. The shells only created a blood-colored hole in his ventricle, allowing the Jialazhangjing to retain his entire body.

Samushka also became the first senior Manchurian general to be killed in the Battle of Baoding.

The Shunjun artillery on Baoding City was still roaring, and shells were falling from mid-air. There were corpses killed by the cannon everywhere, and the land under the corpses were all stained with blood.

The dry weeds are nourished by blood and produce strange vitality.

Dorgon didn't understand why the bandits clearly had artillery, but when the Mongolian soldiers and Han army attacked the city just now, they did not fire artillery, but instead allowed the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers to rush under the city wall.

After frowning for a moment, the regent of the Qing Dynasty seemed to understand why the bandits did this and their cannons were specifically targeted at the real Manchus!

But that's it.

Judging from the sound of cannons, there are not too many cannons.

If the opponent had artillery, he would have lost the courage to attack, there would have been no Qing Dynasty today, and there would have been no Nine Regents of Dorgon. Perhaps, he and his Ama, brother had been hanged by the Ming army in Jianzhou Old Village.

A strong attack is not a decision to lose his mind when Dorgon was furious, but the only way to break the deadlock.

Geng Zhongming's betrayal made Dorgon realize that the army under Baoding City had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation. If he chooses to withdraw his troops immediately, he will inevitably be pursued by the Baoding Shun Army, and he may be trapped between Liangxiang and Baoding. And hurried retreating to the north will also cause the army composed of Manchuria, Mongolian and Han troops to split.

Even Geng Zhongming, King Huaishun, has rebelled. Will the Eight Banners of the Han army in the army not rebelling?

Those Mongols who have always changed their minds will not rebel?

To ensure that the Mongolian and Han army will not rebel, Dorgon must take Baoding and declare that the Qing Dynasty is still invincible to China through a victory. Otherwise, the situation will continue to deteriorate. No matter how capable Dorgon has, he will not be able to make the situation come true.

The capture of Baoding will not only severely damage the Shun army, but also provide food and supplies to the Qing army that was about to lose food. Dorgon was not worried about the city of Beijing. With Jiergalang and Duoduo and others, Geng Zhongming, who only had a few thousand people, could not break the city even if there were many artillery pieces. Even if Geng Zhongming contacted Gao Jie, the thief general who was wandering in the capital, Duoduo and others could hold on.

But the premise for Beijing to hold on is that his regent army did not collapse!

Therefore, Dorgon could not retreat, even if the true Manchu bones and blood were in Baoding, he would suffer heavy losses, so he would grit his teeth and take down this strong city.

This is the only way.

There are still crowds of people under Baoding City, and they are still shouting and killing.

The sound of cannons surprised the Qing army under the city, but did not slow down their pace of climbing the city.

Teams of braided soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Han army were rushing towards the city along the cloud ladder, and the long trees on the city seemed to be falling down, either knocking down the cloud ladders or taking down the Qing army climbing above.

Both sides are firing arrows and guns.

There are dense shields under the city wall, and there are towering shields on the city wall.

The two Manchurian red flags, which were being bombarded, did not stop moving forward. Instead, they accelerated their pace because they knew that the cannons on the city could not hit them at close range.

The artillery fire of the Shun Army was not dense. After each cannon was fired, it would take a long time to cool down before the second cannon was fired. In addition, the number of artillery was small, which led to the inability to mass kill and injure the Manchu soldiers.

Under the city wall, the Mongolian soldiers and Han soldiers who did not climb the city were all looking at the back. When the cannons flying out of the city fell among the Manchu soldiers behind, they actually felt a sense of gratitude.

It turns out that the thief's artillery specializes in attacking Manchus!

"Roar! Rush up and approach the city wall, the thief's cannon will no longer work!"

Ye Keshu didn't feel sorry for his dead subordinates at all. He only had Baoding in his eyes. Near him, a strong man kneeled on the ground, staring blankly at his left arm, which was blood-burning.

Three feet away, a broken arm was quietly placed there.

A Manchu soldier who was eager to avoid cannon accidentally stepped on the broken arm while running. A surprising scene happened. The broken arm's palm suddenly stood up!

It makes people shining.

A shield cart was smashed away by an iron bullet, and the broken wood spike pierced the front of the Manchu soldier who was pushing the cart, but the Manchu soldier still held the dispersed shield cart.

Because he can't move.

If he maintains his current position, maybe he can hold on more. If he leaves the wood tip, he will die soon.

His eyes were red and he looked at the Baoding city wall ahead, his eyes unspeakable.

The officers of the two red flags kept roaring and rushed forward without hesitation. Finally, after paying the price of two or three hundred true Manchus, the red flags and the red flags rushed to the city one after another.

The cannons on the city were silenced, and only the sound of guns that exploded like fried beans were heard.

The Mako's gun soldiers continued to extend the muskets out of the mercenary and attacked the Qing army below.

Most of the guns hit the shields above the Qing army's heads below, making a muffled sound. The Qing army who was caught fell to the ground and was immediately dragged to the back.
