Such a battle cannot be fought, and with the combat effectiveness of the Qing Dynasty, it is no longer on the same level as the Ming Dynasty.

Even Zhu Cilang himself was shocked by the terrifying power of hot weapons.

Although the military battle has made great progress in the development of firearms before, the scene was still extremely shocking when it actually appeared on the battlefield.

This is almost a unilateral crushing situation. You must know that the emergence of firearms has completely changed the historical pattern.

Thousands of red and barbarian cannons were twice the range of the Qing cannons. Flowering bullets exploded on the city walls, and the city walls of Shengjing were in chaos.

No matter how strong the city is, under such fierce artillery fire, it is so vulnerable.

Since Huang Taiji captured a large number of Han people from the Ming Dynasty, many of them were skilled craftsmen. They used their rich experience to have inherent advantages in building cities.

These city defenses are strong and can withstand artillery bombardment. The problem is that when thousands of cannons bombard, even cities made of steel will be shattered.

From the very beginning, the first round of explosion, it was almost the first round of explosion that half of the Qing soldiers who had lost their city walls.

Then, hundreds of cannons were concentrated and violently bombarded at a point.

The sound of the sky was shining for more than ten miles. The smoke and dust raised by the explosion of the flower bomb covered the sky and the originally solid city wall began to loosen.

Then, under constant shelling, a corner of the city wall collapsed with a bang.

Such a strong city was blasted out of a gap. The artillery fire stopped, and the Qing soldiers who were blown up and swarmed into the main force of the Shenji Camp.

It was almost impossible to capture Shengjing City. Although the Eight Banners Cavalry, which claimed to have more than 100,000 iron cavalry, had a slim chance of surviving under such artillery bombardment.

Dorgon stood on the city wall and was directly overturned by the waves of air caused by violent artillery bombardment. The sound of artillery fire shocked his ears buzzing.

Those Eight Banners soldiers who were once brave and good at fighting were now at a loss like headless flies. They didn't even see the enemy, and then they were baptized by powerful artillery fire.

A general with the yellow flag stumbled toward Dorgon: "The Regent, I can't stop him. Let's retreat!"

Dorgon was furious and pulled out his scimitar and roared: "Whoever dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

It's useless. Under such a powerful shelling, it's impossible to maintain the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

If you stick to it, you are giving away the heads. Moreover, the main force of the Ming army has begun to attack the gap in the city wall and is preparing to attack fiercely.

The flintlock rifles in their hands exerted great power. Their shooting accuracy and power were unprecedented in the Qing cavalry, mainly these cold weapons.

They have experienced the Ming army's firearms, but it is the first time they have seen such a terrifying firearm.

On the battlefield, there were roaring guns and cannons everywhere. There were also the thick smoke produced by the explosion of black gunpowder.

The Shenji Camp has already had the prototype of modern warfare, including offensive and defensive formations. These tactics completely crushed the helpless Qing soldiers on the battlefield.

Some Qing soldiers used cold arrows to shoot and kill the Ming army that attacked the city. They paid a huge price to blindly rob the firearms in the hands of the Ming army who died in battle.

Most people don’t understand until death how this terrible weapon was made.

So, some Qing soldiers tried to pick up the flintlock rifle dropped by Ming soldiers who died in battle on the ground.

However, even if they grabbed the flintlock rifle, they didn't know how to use it. How to recharge gunpowder, how to aim and pull the trigger.

In their hands, this thing is similar to a fire stick. Even, it is not as good as a fire stick.

In contrast, the Ming army, the well-trained Ming army, had the three-three formations that support each other. Even if they attacked the city and street fighting, they still took the terrible initiative.

In fact, the number of Qing soldiers in the Eight Banners has never been large. Even Huang Taiji reorganized the Eight Banners of Han. In terms of the number of people alone, there are only more than 100,000.

But these more than 100,000 people rushed into the pass and entered the Central Plains. Among them, they were inseparable from their strong combat power and the Han army they had incorporated along the way.

But at this time, the red cannons cast by wax sealing on the city walls that Dorgon had arranged on the wall were almost destroyed.

The bows and arrows in your hand and the fragile Teng Shield cannot withstand the terrifying power of the flintlock rifle.

In the Shengjing Palace, the remaining Eight Banners Qing soldiers were forced to hide on the periphery of the palace. At this time, the city wall of Shengjing had already been fed with the Ming Dynasty.

The most terrifying thing in the battlefield is to be surrounded by enemies that are several times more than you. Moreover, the opponent is surrounded by a mess, leaving you with only the last two paths left.

One is to die in battle and be loyal to the country. The situation on the battlefield can no longer be reversed, and the destruction of the country is a foregone conclusion.

One, put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender. Moreover, the Ming army treated prisoners with preferential treatment.

Not everyone has the courage to wear a corpse, and most people ultimately choose to surrender.

Moreover, when the Ming army surrounded the outer periphery of the palace, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they shouted inside and persuaded them to surrender.

"Manchu brothers, put down your weapons. Our Prince of the Ming Dynasty promises that you will return to your hometown and reunite with your relatives. In the future, you will not have any more war or killing. You can fish, hunt, shepherd horses and sheep with your family. If you are stubborn, we will break through your palace."

This is effective. No soldier never thought of going home. He could be able to reunite with his family and live a simple life without war or killing.

But the war has always been a game of ambitions among big men. The final result is the great achievements built by thousands of soldiers with their lives.

Strangely, Dorgon did not kill himself. Although he wanted to do so, he did not do so.

At the same time, there was also the young Emperor Fulin of the Qing Dynasty. When the Ming army attacked the palace, they did not choose to resist or commit suicide. Instead, everyone was waiting quietly.

Later, Zhu Cilang realized that all of this was the idea of ​​Concubine Zhuang.

A hero like Dorgon is definitely unwilling to be inferior to others. It seems that he is loyal to the country and worthy of the previous emperor.

Here, I have to admire the courage of Concubine Zhuang. This woman has a great mind. Yes, Zhu Cilang thinks it is not an exaggeration to describe her as greatness.

Concubine Zhuang can always judge the situation. This woman is very powerful. She does not understand the Ming army, and even plans to be imprisoned by the king of the devastated country.

But she knew Zhu Cilang, and Concubine Zhuang was betting on her. She was betting on Zhu Cilang's politeness. She believed that Zhu Cilang was not a tyrant. She would not, so she would cut them off.

If it were Chongzhen, it would be hard to say. It is very likely that the prisoners would be removed. Or, even if they were kept, they would be given some humiliating titles.

In history, those captured kings of the fallen country were often given a humiliating title, such as the two emperors of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, one of whom was named Duke Hunde, and Song Qinzong was named Duke Chonghunhou.

Concubine Zhuang believed that Zhu Cilang would not do this. There were too many mysteries in this crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
