Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1035
When the first morning light fell from the sky, the two warring parties who had been fighting like beasts for a whole night finally died down.The heavy infantry like a meat grinder was so tired that they couldn't even lift their arms, and the Qing army had also lost their blood in the whole night of fighting, and they had no strength to continue fighting. The two sides stayed between the ruins, panting heavily, Staring at each other with a pair of blood-red eyes, no one spoke, and the groans of wounded soldiers echoed among the ruins, painful and shrill, this is one of the few sounds on the battlefield.

The Ming army took out the war rice that had been soaked in the rain and devoured the taste, and devoured it. The women in Shenyang City also brought up baskets of steamed buns and distributed them to the bloody Qing soldiers. Everyone was hurrying. Eat, restore your strength and prepare for a more brutal fight.This street fight will not end so easily.

Lu Xiangsheng inspected the battlefield, and what he saw was blood flowing around mixed with rainwater, which had accumulated nearly a foot deep. Countless corpses lay quietly in the pool of blood like this, some barely remained intact, some were incomplete, some There is only a head, or an arm, or a thigh left, and the whole of Shenyang seems to have become a city of death.The casualties of the Qing army were extremely heavy, and the casualties of the Ming army were not light. A large number of soldiers were killed by the epee and axes of the Qing army in hand-to-hand combat. The corpses were collected and wrapped in raincoats and lined up. All over the place, military medical officers and female medical soldiers were so busy that their heels hit the back of their heads, they were too busy to survive.Many of these wounded soldiers will die within the next few days, and less than half of them will survive.This is nothing, according to the reports of military officers at all levels, many soldiers passed out due to exhaustion and choked to death by blood, which shows the cruelty of the war.

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time, and said, "Push in the fuel injection truck."

When the infantrymen fought bloody battles last night, the engineers were not idle either. They worked in three shifts to clean up the ruins desperately. After exhausting more than a dozen people, they finally cleared out a few passages for large tanks to pass through.As soon as Lu Xiangsheng gave an order, huge carts resembling huge boxes were slowly driven in by tall and strong Shire horses, followed by a group of engineers with bricks on the wheels. Clean them up immediately, and push them out if the cart sinks into the depression and cannot move.From the difficulty of moving these chariots, it is not difficult to see that these battles are extremely heavy, and it is not known what is inside.

Lu Xiangsheng sent a military envoy holding a white flag to the Qing army's position to meet Daishan and Abatai, and brought Lu Xiangsheng's words: "Surrender immediately, and you can avoid the death penalty!"

Soon the military envoy's head was thrown back. This was the Qing army's answer.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed, and said, "Let's do it, raze this city to the ground... They forced us to!"

The heavy infantry who had regained their strength stood up, lined up against the iron wall again, and pushed forward slowly and unstoppably. Those weird carts followed behind, creaking and advancing.The Qing army responded immediately, firing volleys of powerful crossbows, arrows like rain, and muskets like raindrops.The heavy infantry did not take the crossbows seriously, but their armor could not ignore the muskets. With the sound of gunshots, a pair of thick armors were penetrated, and sprays were sprayed from the small round holes. Bloody arrows shot out, and the heavy infantrymen who were hit collapsed.

The Qing army who were hiding behind the ruined walls and shooting were surprised to see that those seemingly cumbersome chariots responded quickly, protruding a slender iron pipe towards them... On both sides of the chariot, two Kong Wu The soldiers in the hands each grabbed a handle and shook it desperately, as if they were drawing water. This strange behavior made them vigilant.The officer shouted: "Kill those tanks! Kill those tanks!"

Immediately, sharp arrows and lead bullets with flames shot towards the giant tanks in an attempt to destroy these deadly tanks.However, the surface of these chariots was covered with several layers of tanned and hard cowhide. The sharp arrows either bounced off or crooked, and the lead bullets made a popping sound. The chariots did not respond at all. I don’t know if there was any Punch through these cowhide.The strength of these giant chariots far exceeded the imagination of the Qing army. The weapons in their hands could not do anything with them. Unless they bombarded them, they could only watch these deadly chariots approaching them!
"Organize the Death Squad! Organize the Death Squad to rush over and blow them up!"

At the three breakthroughs, roars of panic and anger erupted one after another, and the Qing army quickly organized death squads, armed with three grenades, ready to charge.These tanks are surrounded by moving heavy infantry like steel fortresses. Everyone knows what it means to rush over, but they know better what it means to let these tanks approach, because they can already smell the smell of fire oil If you don't blow up these deadly chariots, they will die!
call----

Before the death squads of the Qing army rushed out from behind the ruins, the chariot troops took the lead in launching the attack.The two soldiers shook the handle violently, accumulating enough pressure for the device inside the chariot. As soon as No. 3 soldier pressed the mechanism, immediately, a thick fire oil spurted out along the iron pipe!When it reached the mouth of the nozzle, the fire oil was ignited by the open flame at the nozzle, turning into a black and red fire dragon, which spewed out about twenty meters away with a whistling sound, and fell into the Qing army's position. Got sprayed all over!
"what----"

The extremely shrill screams burst out from the lungs and resounded through the ruins. The Qing soldiers who were sprayed instantly turned into burning men. The flames enveloped their entire bodies and roasted their skin and flesh. It also roasted their souls, and the huge pain made these strong warriors roll around on the ground in pain, and even cried out.They rushed to their frightened companions and tried to seek help, but in the end they threw the fierce fire oil on them at each other, turning them into pyromen!The Qing soldiers who were hiding behind the ruined walls and barricades were so horrified by this scene that they fled behind their work to escape the fire.The Ming army musketeers took the opportunity to open fire and fired one after another. The Qing soldiers who were driven out by the fire fell like wheat. Soon, a line of defense was breached.

Xue Siming was happy: "Hey, this thing really works!"

Catherine was quite surprised: "Greek fire...how can the Chinese have Greek fire?"

Greek fire used to be the holy fire of Byzantium to protect the country. The Byzantines mixed oil with some other flammable substances in proportion to make a light fuel, poured the fuel into the oil tank, and added a siphon device. A brass pipe and you're done.This is a very terrifying naval warfare weapon. When facing the enemy, the Byzantine navy will install the jet device on the small boat and launch a charge towards the enemy fleet that is a hundred times stronger than itself. The fire erupted 30 meters away.This kind of oil burns extremely violently, even on the surface of the water, it may burn earth-shatteringly, and it cannot be extinguished at all. It is not difficult to imagine how terrifying this thing was to the wooden sailboats at that time.Arabs, Russians, Venetians, Crusaders, and even the Ottomans who ruled the Eurasian continent all turned pale when they talked about this stuff.Especially the Arabs. From 674 to 677 AD, the prosperous Arab Empire attacked Byzantium on land and sea. As a result, two-thirds of the navy's warships were burned to ashes by the Byzantine Empire Navy with Greek fire. 40 years later, the Arab Empire once again used a more powerful army. 10,000+ troops marched towards Byzantium from land and sea at the same time. Of the warships, only five were able to escape back, and the Greek fire became Byzantium's sacred fire for protecting the country. 500 years ago, the Ottoman army conquered Constantinople, and the Byzantine Empire perished. The formula of Greek fire has always been dictated by the Byzantine emperor as a top secret. With the demise of Byzantium, the mysterious Greek fire was lost.The Venetians who suffered from the Greek fire were very sorry. They also wanted to get this kind of naval warfare weapon, but their hope was in vain. They did not expect to see the Greek fire in the east, and the Chinese were even more fierce. They moved it to street warfare. up!
The Countess's sapphire eyes shone brightly, like a huntress staring at her prey.Hmph, that cheapskate is desperately refusing to sell her the most advanced heavy artillery. There is no way to force heavy artillery, but the secret of the Greek fire should be available, right?Even if you force him with a knife, let him tell the secret!

The fire-breathing chariot moved forward slowly, and when it encountered the strong defense line of the Qing army, it pointed the iron pipe towards it, spraying out frightening fire dragons. Pieces of ruins turned into seas of flames!Countless soldiers of the Qing army struggled and howled in the ruins, those who were on fire and those who were not, ran out screaming, and then were hit by the rain of bullets splashing on their faces, bleeding all over their bodies, and died before they fell to the ground.These terrifying fire-breathing chariots made the Qing army terrified. Seeing the fire dragons rushing out with claws and claws, a large group of warriors turned into fire men and twisted their bodies frantically in the sea of ​​fire. More and more people dropped their weapons and fled the position.Even in modern warfare, flamethrowers carrying flamethrowers are still the most feared and hated by the enemy. Once they are caught, they will be executed on the spot in all likelihood, even without interrogation. In the era of cold weapons, the lethality and psychological shock caused by this type of arms were even more exaggerated. The Qing army, which could not be smashed by cannonballs and platoons of guns, was defeated by a small number of fire-breathing chariots. The defense line collapsed one by one, and the soldiers on the defense line either fled or turned into charred corpses all over the place!In the afternoon, the organized resistance of the Qing army no longer existed, and the main force of the Ming army's various legions entered the city, oppressing the imperial city from all directions!
At this time, the Qing army still had thousands of people, but it was already powerless.

Shenyang Imperial City, Abatai and Dai Shan stood at the top of the city, watching the fire dragons rolling among the ruins, watching the Ming army press down on the imperial city like Wu Qu before the rainstorm, watching myself finally mobilized The troops who got up discarded their helmets and armor, and fled towards the imperial city screaming like a little girl being chased by a satyr. Their expressions were extremely bitter.

"It's over..." Abata said solemnly.

Daishan's lips trembled slightly: "I didn't expect it to end so soon... I thought we could last longer."

Abatai said: "It can only be said that they are too strong, and we have nothing to say about the loss. Second brother, let's end this, it is meaningless to continue fighting."

Daishan nodded, and walked down the city wall tremblingly under the support of Abatai. Before leaving, he called a few cows to record their foreheads, and the voice was so old that it made people feel sad: "Don't fight any more, you guys Organize everyone who can still move, and surrender to the Ming army when they see the palace ablaze."

A few players roared angrily: "No, we can still fight! We haven't lost yet!"

Daishan shook his head: "Don't fight... Live well, there is no point in continuing to fight!" After finishing speaking, he ignored the officers who had already been stupefied, and staggered towards the palace with Abate.

These remaining officers looked at the lonely backs of the two legendary Baylors, dumbfounded.After a while, someone knelt down on the ground with their heads in their hands, crying out in pain.

The Ming army has smashed the last line of defense of the Qing army and surrounded the imperial city tightly.They saw that Qing soldiers were densely packed on the walls of the imperial city. They had no weapons, and they watched them approaching indifferently, like groups of clay sculptures, without any reaction.This abnormal behavior stunned the bloodied Ming army and slowed down his pace.

Then they saw in the center of the imperial city, inside the palace, fires soaring into the sky, thick smoke billowing, covering the sky and closing the sun, and mixed with bursts of explosions, like thunder. Such a scene, even the most ruthless professional The soldiers couldn't help but feel horrified.Daishan and Abatai had piled a large amount of dry firewood, kerosene, and sulfur in the palace early. After returning to the palace, they lit the fire themselves, turning the palace into a sea of ​​​​fire in the blink of an eye.The flames rolled straight into the sky. The luxurious palaces and gardens, the treasury with a large amount of gold and silver materials, and the ancestral temple displaying the golden bodies of the Jurchen nobles of the past generations headed by Nurhaci were all devoured by the sea of ​​fire.And this fire seemed to be a starting gun. The surviving Qing troops in the imperial city also ignited the coal and firewood piled in various gates, corridors and even every corner of the imperial city. For a moment, flames rolled and red sparks flew all over the sky. , the entire imperial city turned into a big furnace, and the soldiers of the Qing army, with their swords and armor broken and covered in blood, stood unmoving in the thick smoke and fire.

The Ming army was dumbfounded, and forgot that everyone was an enemy ten minutes ago, and shouted at the soldiers of the Qing army on the city wall: "The fire is coming, run away...Why are you still standing there stupidly? You want to die, don't you!? "

The Qing army did not run away, and the rough, loud, sonorous and passionate singing sounded from the thick smoke and fire. It was their battle song.For decades, they sang this battle song and swept through Liao, Mongolia, and North Korea. A few months ago, they sang this battle song and entered the pass. Countless ancestors together turned into stars in the night sky.

Amidst the loud singing, Ming Jun pursed his lips and watched all this.They no longer told the Qing army to flee quickly, because they knew it was useless to shout, and these Qing troops would not run away.

The raging fire burned more and more fiercely, and the howling wind blew the flames into the air, and the singing gradually withered.

The Qing Dynasty perished.

A few days later, Yang Menglong received the detailed report of the Battle of Shenyang. After reading it, he was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh: "These bannermen... and the bannermen of 200 years later are simply creatures from two different planets!"
