Chapter 522: Into Shengjing City

After more than an hour of battle, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng joined forces to climb the city wall on the south gate of Shengjing City. A large number of personal soldiers scattered with bows and guns, closely guarding the surrounding situation and protecting the safety of the two important officials.

At this time, the three gates in the east, west and south of Shengjing City had been broken one after another, and the battle was extending to the center of Shengjing City. Standing at the top of the city, I saw that there were fiery red figures everywhere in the city. The Ming army that had attacked the city was already fighting fiercely with the Qing army at the entrances of various streets and alleys.

"From Taizu expelling the Mongolian Yuan and establishing the Chenyang Guard, until the first year of Tianqi, the old slaves led their troops to invade, and Chenyang City returned to the Ming Dynasty after fifteen years. What we experienced here is really sad!

Although after the defeat of Sarhu during the Wanli period, the offensive and defensive situation between our Emperor Ming and the Later Jin Dynasty was easy to attack and defense. In fact, as long as the planning was properly, there would be no noise in the court as it is now. With the support of the Holy Lord, the situation at that time had great potential, so why would it be so decayed!"

Sun Chuanting, who was standing in front of the city with his hands behind his back, glanced at the battlefields in the city, and couldn't help but feel emotion when he was chasing the past.

Although the Battle of Sarhu led to a reversal of the offensive and defense between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, the important towns such as Chenyang, Liaoyang, Kaiyuan and Tieling at that time, as well as various large and small forts along the way were still under the control of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the plan was properly planned, the Later Jin Dynasty would be contained in the small area of ​​Hetuara until it was troubled and died.

However, history has no ifs, only it has become a fact.

When the new king was young and ignorant, the court officials only focused on personal interests and attacked each other, lacked counselors and generals on the front line, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting, the strong city of Chenyang was declared a mistake within one day, which then triggered a series of collapses by the Ming army until Jinzhou, a rear city, became the front line of the fight against the Later Jin.

In fact, if this is the case, although the generals in western Liaoning were greedy, they still made great contributions to the country and country of the Ming Dynasty. If Zu Dashou had not supported him in Jinzhou, the Later Jin would have probably fought to Shanhaiguan long ago.

"Brother Bai Gu's words are very reasonable! Although good generals and elite soldiers are important, the reign of wise kings is the basis of everything. How lucky we are to meet a wise king who has been in power for hundreds of years, so that we can do what we do today. The kindness of sages who know each other will never be repaid forever!"

Lu Xiangsheng, who finally took off his armor and changed into a long-lost big red official robe, was also filled with emotion. Thousands of words in his heart finally turned into one sentence: The grace of knowing the favor.

What Lu Xiangsheng didn't know was that if Zhu Youjian had not had the unconditional trust and support from time to time, he would have died in Zhuozhou, Hebei at this time.

Just as the two of them were moved, the red cannons from one door were shouted by the young man from the baggage camp and pushed them along the corridor under the city wall. Then, under the command of Francisco, they were pushed along the wide road.

This was what Sun Chuanting ordered when he climbed the city wall to watch the battlefield just now. The purpose was to use red barbarian cannons to bombard the Qing army fortifications within the firing distance, assist the official army in the so-called Qing Palace as soon as possible, and capture and kill the heads or important figures of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou.

In order to cause a large amount of damage to the Ming army, under the order of Huang Taiji, the Qing army used a large amount of coats to build a large number of fortifications in the streets and alleys in the city.

The defeated Eight Banners who were collected more than 20,000 were also distributed in these fortifications and each street-facing courtyard based on buildings and tragic street battles with the Ming army.

The tenacious resistance of the Qing army brought considerable damage to the Ming army. There were constant casualties of Ming soldiers on every battlefield, and then they were carried off from the battlefield by the young and strong men of the followers of the baggage camp and sent to the temporary rescue station built.

In order to reduce the deaths of soldiers due to serious injuries, Zhu Youjian sent many people in the capital who had basic knowledge of trauma to the front line after short-term training and had basic knowledge of trauma treatment. With them, many doctors who were skilled in surgical treatment, even some imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital were sent.

The one who led this group of medical practitioners was Wu Youxing, the Department of Health.

He not only had to shoulder the important task of commanding the entire wartime first aid, but also was responsible for the entire post-war health and epidemic prevention work.

It is hot summer now. Under such a big war, there will be a large number of casualties among the enemy and us. If one is not properly handled, it may lead to a major plague. This is not a trivial matter.

Although Zhu Youjian was not sure how the epidemic prevention should be operated, he, from later generations, still had a rough idea of ​​basic epidemic prevention knowledge. After summoning Wu Youxing and discussing some procedures with him personally, the Department of Health quickly came up with a copy of rescue, treatment, epidemic prevention and disease prevention. After the cabinet and the Lijian Supervisor submitted it, Zhu Youjian ordered the imperial edict to be issued to all provinces, and used this as a unified solution for the prevention and disease prevention of local governments.

After the Ming army attacked the city, they also kept in mind the court's clear order at the beginning to minimize the killing of unarmed people and avoid accidental injuries to the elderly, weak, women and children in battle. However, as the war progressed, a large number of Qing soldiers hid in various residential houses, and used bows, arrows, bricks and stones to test and kill the Ming army from walls, trees, roofs, secret passages, etc.

Seeing the brothers who were with him day and night fall into pools of blood, Ming Jun, who was red-eyed, could not even save his own life, so he could not even Gu Feng's order.

As various war reports were sent to Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng's hands, the two of them decisively issued military orders after brief discussions, allowing firearms to be attacked on the Qing army guarding the houses.

This kind of firearm strike does not refer to muskets, but here refers to the thunder and small Folang machine, General Weiyuan cannon that can fire flowering bullets.

After the military order was issued, soon, small Folang machine cannons of 200 kilograms, baskets of thunderstorms, and five small General Weiyuan cannons were transported to various battlefields, and the grenadiers were basically equipped to every team participating in the attack.

"Ergouzi! Ask someone to remove a few door panels!"

In the corner of a street and alley, Li Jinzhong gave a loud order, and took off a light arrow inserted between the iron armor on his shoulder and threw it to the ground. A long line of soldiers mixed with swords, shields, gunners, archers, spearmen, and grenades squatted behind him.

After entering the fierce street fighting, Ma Pingbei, the Qianzong Ma, saw that the spearmen's role was getting smaller and smaller. After reporting the situation, Liu Youde, the guerrilla who belonged to them, immediately decided to change the existing team configuration, disperse the three Qianzong's military branches and dispatch them to the front line.

This kind of military mobilization did not cause much chaos, which was mainly due to the detailed planning and arrangement before the war. The Ming army siege was divided into offensive routes according to the regional division.
