Chapter 1411 King Beijing: Once Liaoyang is broken, Shengjing is right in front of us
…
Liaoyang City
A large number of Han troops in the capital launched another offensive, and within just a few days, they began to besiege Liaoyang City. At this moment, groups of soldiers carried ladders and climbed towards Liaoyang City.
The fire cannons and artillery cannons simultaneously emitted streams of thick gunpowder smoke and sprayed towards the city wall.
At this moment, Luckard stood on the top of the city with blue bricks and black tiles, wearing a heavy maroon armor. He was holding a sharp-edged steel knife in his hand, under two thick eyebrows that looked like lying silkworms.
, the dazzling tiger eyes are fierce and flashing.
"Your Majesty, the Han army seems to have stepped up its offensive." Lieutenant General Elun on the other side frowned, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Under his thick eyebrows, Luckard's eyes flashed faintly, his face was slightly startled, and he said loudly: "Let my brothers hold on, don't let the Han army climb up from the top of the city!"
When Ma Bian and the generals of the bodyguard heard this, they all shouted in agreement.
This kind of siege battle continued in the next few days. The Han army dropped about hundreds of corpses under the city wall, and the Eight Banners on the top of the city gradually became unable to hold on.
In other words, under this high-intensity offensive, they gradually slackened off, or in other words, the military morale gradually became slack.
…
…
It was the fifth day of July in the nineteenth year of Chongping. It had been sunny for six consecutive days. The weather was so hot that it made people unbearably hot.
On this day, accompanied by the rumble of cannons, a large number of Han soldiers launched an offensive again. They continued, almost like a tide, and launched a fearless charge towards the city head.
On the city wall, a large number of Manchu soldiers can be seen on the crenellations of the city wall, with their heads raised, holding crossbows, and shooting towards the Han army below.
At this moment, arrows swished and landed on the Han army shields below, making a clear and sweet sound of "dinging, clanging".
The Han army, led by the Jiangnan naval commander, kept climbing towards the top of the city, fighting with the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers on the city.
At this moment, the Han soldiers under the wall took shovels and walked along the dirt road towards the city wall. Then they walked closer and buried jars filled with black gunpowder.
Then, the fuses were lit.
"boom!!!"
Accompanied by bursts of deafening cannon fire, the entire city wall seemed to shake three times. Then, the south side of the Liaoyang City wall suddenly collapsed. Amidst the endless smoke and dust, the Han army seemed to cheer.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty on top of the city were frightened.
Then, a large number of Han soldiers poured into Liaoyang City like a tide and fought with the Jurchen Eight Banners who were coming out.
Luckard, who was commanding his soldiers on the street and rushing towards the city wall, heard the earth-shattering rumbling sound, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Luck Dehun's face was calm and he said coldly: "Stop it! Everyone, fight the Han army out. We can't let them gain a foothold in the city."
As he spoke, he held a sword with a ring in his hand and led a group of horses behind him towards the city wall that was opened by the bombardment.
At this moment, a large number of Han naval forces, led by the general, had entered the city and fought against the Zhenghongqi soldiers under Luck Dehun.
Luck Dehun held a long knife in his hand, frowned, and with a stern look in his eyes, he led his personal guards and fought towards the Han army.
As a result, the two sides were like two blazing flames, colliding together instantly, seeming to burn everything and annihilate nothingness.
The Han army's Jiangnan Navy was naturally not as powerful as the Jurchens' elite Eight Banners soldiers, but with the twenty to thirty thousand border troops from Hebei, it could barely maintain an undefeated situation.
However, due to the large number of Han troops, they tightly suppressed the scope of activities of the Jurchen Eight Banners soldiers.
Luck Dehun was keenly aware of this scene, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes flashed aggressively.
At this moment, Beijing Wang Shuirong stared at the collapsed city wall, his fair and handsome face showing joy.
"The city is broken." Kang Hong couldn't hide his excitement in his voice.
Once Liaoyang City is conquered, Shengjing City will also be under the attack of the Han army. What does this mean?
This means that they diverted their troops to besiege Shengjing first, which was a big reveal in the court.
Of course, with the strength of the troops in Shengjing City, it is impossible to attack it solely with the Jiangnan Navy and Kang Hong's Hebei Frontier Army.
Beijing Wang Shuirong also showed excitement on his face and said: "As soon as Liaoyang is broken, Shengjing will be right in front of us."
Under Kang Hong's thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and he said with emotion: "Your Majesty is here to supervise the troops to suppress the formation, and the general will send troops there right now."
This is undoubtedly an opportunity to make a contribution.
Beijing Wang Shuirong nodded and said, "General Kang, be careful when you go there."
Beijing Wang Shuirong is the head coach of one side, so naturally he doesn't care about such small achievements.
At this moment, Wei Che, the admiral of the Jiangnan Navy, had led a group of generals and rushed into Liaoyang City, began to seize the city, control the city gates, and welcome a large number of Han troops into the city.
The Han army and the bannermen of the two red flags were fighting together at this moment. The shouts of killing resounded throughout the city, the sound shook the sky and shook the earth.
And Luck Dehun was leading his troops to drive the Han army into the city.
He is worthy of being one of the eight iron hat kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He is skilled in martial arts and invincible in bravery. He can slash back and forth with the long sword in his palm, creating a fierce force.
Under the sniper attack by his soldiers, the Han army's offensive was even halted.
Luck Dehun greeted the Jurchen Eight Banners soldiers and kept repelling the Han army's attacks.
Under his encouragement, the bannermen of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty actually launched a continuous counterattack at this moment.
The Han troops above and below the city wall were fighting with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. The two sides' military lines were intertwined and they were arguing endlessly.
At this moment, Hebei Admiral Kang Hong led his soldiers into the city. There was a hint of anger on his face, and he slashed back and forth with the big knife in his palm. After a while, Kang Hong cut a bloody path.
It seemed that both of them had the aura of leading generals, and they were attracted by their aura even though they were far away. At this moment, Kang Hong looked away, and happened to meet Luck Dehun's gaze.
Kang Hong clenched the handle of the sword in his hand and said secretly, the prisoner king looked at him so fiercely.
However, no matter how fierce they are, the Jurchens are already gone, and even if Sun Wu comes back to life, there will be nothing he can do.
At this moment, a long knife in Kang Hong's palm danced vigorously, driving the horses under his crotch. With the sound of the horses neighing, the sharp-edged long knife in his palm was slashing towards Luck Dehun.
go.
"prick!"
The blade was sharp and sharp, and the sharp light flashed, and the wind was heard, making bursts of explosions in the air, as if it was about to destroy everything.
"clang!"
The two long knives suddenly clashed together, making a harsh and sharp sound in the air, shaking people's eardrums.
When the two heard this, their faces were shocked, and they looked at each other in shock.
Then, a sharp sword flashed quickly, almost like a revolving lantern, and the two sides fought for more than ten rounds without knowing it, with no winner or loser.
Luckard's face was solemn, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness on his majestic face.
Neither of them could defeat the other, but as time passed, a large number of soldiers of the Han army had poured into the city and fought against the flag men of the two red flags.
"Dangdang..."
Accompanied by the sound of the clash of weapons one after another, and then the sound of the blade "squeaking" into the flesh, the Jurchen bannermen were defeated step by step.
After a while, the Han army completely poured into Liaoyang City, with about 60,000 to 70,000 people.
But the 20,000 to 30,000 Jurchen Eight Banners were determined to fight to the death, fighting for every street and alley, because Liaoyang City was already the last line of defense in front of Shengjing City.
In this way, the fighting continued from morning to evening, but it still did not come to an end.
There was no situation where the armies collapsed and fled in all directions after the city was broken.
This is actually a normal phenomenon, because the Jurchen Eight Banners elites are already very powerful and are among the best soldiers in the world.
King Beijing was wearing a black cloak and a mountain-shaped armor. He was accompanied by a group of generals and generals. He held a telescope in his hand and looked at the crenellations of the city wall. He saw that the Han soldiers had already gained the upper hand.
.
But there is still no overwhelming advantage.
King Shuirong of Beijing looked solemn, thought for a while, and said: "Come here, mobilize the Central Guard Army and capture the city as soon as possible!"
The deputy general on the side said: "Your Majesty, we don't have many soldiers in our hands. We need to prepare for unexpected situations."
Beijing Wang Shuirong frowned and was about to give another order.
At this moment, a "rumbling" sound of iron hoofs suddenly came from the distant wilderness, which made Wang Shuirong of Beijing freeze his mind.
Following the sound, I saw a large number of elite cavalry of the Han army holding red flags, covering the sky and the sun, like burning clouds.
The leader was none other than Jia Fang.
Jia Fang, under the command of Wang Shuirong of Beijing, went outside the city. Now that he saw that Liaoyang City had been conquered, he couldn't help but secretly regret it.
At this moment, accompanied by a large number of personal guards and retinues, Jia Fangyang spurred his horse to come to Wang Shuirong of Beijing and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the city of Liaoyang has been destroyed."
When Wang Shuirong of Beijing saw this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "General Jia Fang came just in time. The battle situation in the city is tense. General Jia Fang led his troops to rush to help and strive for the final word!"
When Jia Fang heard this, her expression was shocked and she said loudly: "My lord, don't worry! I will go and pacify the Jurchen Tatars right away!"
With that said, Jia Fang made a decisive decision and without any further delay, he called to his cavalry, and like a ball of red flames, they rushed towards the gate of Liaoyang City overwhelmingly.
With the addition of Jia Fang, the Han army in Liaoyang City suddenly became stalemate.
In particular, the cavalry troops led by Jia Fang were among the Hebei frontier troops, and they were undoubtedly the elite among the elite.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing raised his sharp eyebrows, watching Jia Fang's back go away, feeling somewhat inexplicably happy.
In Liaoyang City, the sound of killings was already shaking the heavens and the earth.
After Luck Dehun realized that he could not take Kang Hong, he did not choose to fight. Instead, he once again asked his generals to come forward. He led a group of Jurchen soldiers and slowly retreated into the inner city to fight against the Han army's Jiangnan River.
Division, Hebei frontier troops launched offensive and defensive confrontation..
Instead, it gradually gained a firm foothold.
On the wall of the inner city, Lieutenant General Orun looked anxious. He turned to look at Luck Dehun and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Liaoyang City cannot be defended anymore."
Luckard's face was ashen, and his eyes were as firm and fierce as those of tigers and wolves. He gave a deep shout and said: "You have to defend even if you can't!"
When Lieutenant General Orun heard this, he was shocked and could not persuade him any more.
Luckard's face was as dark as water, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said loudly: "Behind us is Shengjing City. Once the city is defeated, my family and I will be enslaved by the Han people. Even if we fight to the death of every soldier, we will still be ruthless."
Tear off a piece of flesh from the Han people!"
When the soldiers and soldiers around him heard this, most of their faces showed excited expressions.
Just as Luck Dehun was making an impassioned speech, the sound of iron hoofs stamping on the ground suddenly sounded from the city gate, which was deafening.
After a while, a large number of knights with majestic military appearance were seen approaching in a mighty manner.
The general at the head is tall and tall, with a fair and handsome face, sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes. He is riding a galloping horse with the reins in his hands, galloping like lightning.
A saber seemed to flash with a cold light under the sunlight, and every time it was swung down, bursts of blood rained out.
The Han cavalry has arrived.
Jia Fang is now wearing a black cloak and soft armor. She is sitting on the saddle, holding a horse rein in her hand. In her palm is a sharp long knife.
The soldiers there were beheaded and sent away.
But when the sound of "Puff, Puff" sounded, it was immediately clear that a bloody storm was rising. The two red flag bannermen who were still relying on the inner city to guard were suddenly suppressed by the cavalry.
Along the way, there were screams and many soldiers fell to the ground.
At this moment, the Han army once again had the upper hand, which was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Luckard frowned tightly, his eyes were like dew, and he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the city cannot be defended anymore. It is better to retreat to the Hun River and defend across the river. Even if the Han army approaches the city, our army still has a chance to stop it." Elun said.
Luckard shook his head, his eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Stick here, make the Han army pay the price, and the defense of Shengjing City can also reduce some pressure."
At this moment, the deputy general Orun said: "Your Majesty, it is better to lead the troops and horses to withdraw from Liaoyang City first, and then the general will command the troops and horses to fight against the Han army. This can not only delay the Han army's offensive, but also take care of the overall situation of Shengjing."
"It's not that time yet." Luck Dehun said.
In this way, under Luck Dehun's insistence, the two red flag bannermen and the Han army's flag soldiers and horses in the city fought to the death.
…

Ningyuan City
After the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, Jia Heng, accompanied by Chen Xiao and Jinyi's guards, strode into the city.
Ningyuan City, Fuyamen
After two days, the city of Ningyuan, which had been devastated by the war, was cleaned up again, and the corpses were carried away by the Han army. Only the smell of blood permeating the city showed the brutality of the war in the past few days.
In the hall that was originally used by Prince Zheng Jierharang for discussions, Jia Heng sat behind a lacquered wooden table, looking over the battle report summary in his hand and gently flipping through the book.
After a while, Jia Heng stared at Chen Xiao who was standing aside, and said loudly: "Have someone pick up Jierhalang's head, put it in a wooden box, and deliver it to the divine capital together with the military report of victory."
The capture of Ningyuan City marked a major victory for the Han army in the first phase of its combat mission, and the rest was the decisive battle of the national war on the Songjin line.
Chen Xiao asked loudly: "How do you plan to enter the army next?"
Jia Heng's face slightly condensed and he said loudly: "Next, we will organize our troops and horses. Dorgon will definitely defend Jinzhou City. The Liaodong Jurchens do not have much strategic depth."
Chen Xiaoxiu frowned, his eyes thoughtful, and said, "I don't know what the situation is like in Liaoyang."
Jia Heng said: "Liaoyang City is not difficult to break. It just depends on the strategy of Beijing Wang Shuirong and others."
Chen Xiao nodded and said nothing else.
Jia Heng said: "Let's not talk about this now."
While the two were discussing, a guard in Jinyi came in from outside, clasped his fists and said, "Captain, the King of Chu and the King of Wei are here."
It turned out that the Wei and Chu vassals escorted grain and grain to Shanhaiguan and headed towards Shengjing. They were very happy to hear that Ningyuan City had been conquered by the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "The two of them are coming. You come with me to greet them."
Chen Xiaoqing's cold face smiled, and with a slight "hmm", she followed Jia Heng to greet the two vassal kings.
At this moment, King Chu and King Wei, accompanied by the palace guards, came to the street in front of Ningyuan City Gate and were talking.
The King of Chu said loudly: "Zi Yu is really good at fighting. It has only been a while now that Ningyuan City has been captured."
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said in a clear voice: "Once Ningyuan is defeated, it will be Jinzhou. Then there will be another war."
However, because the general leading the army was Jia Heng, King Wei was obviously very confident.
The King of Chu also had an excited look on his face. He sighed and said: "Jinzhou is just a short distance away from Shengjing. The time for my Han Dynasty to regain Liaodong is not far away."
By then, there will be no more foreign troubles in the country of Han Dynasty.
While the two brothers were talking, they heard a hearty laughter coming from the gate, saying: "The two princes are here."
King Chu and King Wei followed the sound and saw Jia Heng and Chen Xiao beside them.
With a smile on his face, King Chu said: "Ziyu, you are well."
Jia Heng said with a smile: "The two princes are really timely. I said they are attacking Jinzhou and are short of weapons and food."
King Chu nodded and said loudly: "Ziyu captured Ningyuan City in one fell swoop, and Shengjing City, the capital of the Jurchens, is already in sight."
King Wei's clear and handsome face also had a hint of joy, and he said in a clear voice: "When my father knows about Ziyu's victory, he will definitely be very happy."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I have already asked someone to deliver military reports and memorials to the Holy Sage."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to invite us: "This is not the place to talk. I would like to invite your two highnesses to come to the government office and have a chat."
After hearing this, the King of Chu and the King of Wei nodded, and then followed Jia Heng to the government hall in Ningyuan City.
The three of them were divided into guest and host. The guards of Jinyi Palace served them tea and then slowly retreated.
The King of Chu nodded and said in a clear voice: "This time we are mainly delivering the Hongyi cannons and bullets from the Ordnance Supervisor. There are 30,000 pieces in total. In addition, there are weapons, armor, clothing and other items needed in winter."
, please also ask Ziyu to take a look."
As he said that, Shi Liao Xian, the palace chief behind him, had a facelift, and handed the list of books in his hand to Jia Heng's bodyguards in golden robes.
Jia Heng took the list book from the palace guard, lowered his eyes to read it, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty the King of Chu."
Wei Wang Chen Ran seemed not to be outdone, and said: "The little king has also raised food and fodder, about one million dan, 100,000 sheep, and 600 carts of various kinds of wine and meat to supply the needs of the army."
On the side, Prince Palace Chief Shi Dengwei also handed over the book in his hand.
Jia Heng also finished reading and put the list of books on the small table beside him. He smiled and encouraged: "You two princes, you have worked hard all the way."
The King of Chu smiled and said: "Serving the country and working for the country, I dare not speak of hardship."
King Wei also said modestly: "It's just a matter of duty."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Go and tell the chef to prepare for the reception banquet. I will receive the reception and cleanse the dust for the two princes."
Then, Jia Heng led the two of them to the side hall for dinner.
