It was a snowy dawn. The endless heavy snow covered Liaodong in a world of ice and snow as usual. The biting cold wind forced few people to go out. Only a few people who made a living drove their carriages and horses through the snow-covered landscape.

Walking on the road, Shengjing City naturally lost the bustle and bustle of the past.

In fact, a few months ago, after the emperor ordered all the troops and horses to launch the Eight Banners, the princes and Baylor in Shengjing City also led their minions to go out to rob the Han people. This was an opportunity to make a fortune!

Since more than 100,000 people were conscripted, almost all the adult men of the Eight Banners were conscripted, so there were only old and weak women and children left inside and outside the city, and at most there were some Han Chinese. For a time, the city of Shengjing became sparsely populated.

stand up.

Because there were few people, the soldiers guarding the city gate became very lazy. Their weapons were leaned against the wall of the city gate. They kept rubbing their hands and cursing the weather, which gave them no chance to go to the west or

When the Central Plains went to rob Han people, occasionally a few Han people driving a chariot packed with clothes passed by, but the soldiers did not bother to check and let them pass.

"There seems to be some movement."

Although they complained in their hearts that they missed the opportunity to rob the Han people to make a fortune, the soldiers guarding the city gate still picked up their weapons when they heard the movement in the snow. Although the heavy snow blocked their sight, they could still vaguely see something.

The troops came over.

Are they soldiers and horses coming back from the west?

Turiji, who was wearing a bearskin mandarin jacket, squinted his eyes and looked towards the end of the road. Because the heavy snow blocked his sight, he could not see clearly who was coming. Hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, the group of people slowly approached.

When he reached the city gate, he finally saw clearly who the coming group of people were.

They are men and horses with red flags.

I wonder if that master has returned from the west?

A group of gatekeepers hurriedly stood by the city gate to avoid blocking the way, and squinted their eyes in confusion as they looked at these snow-covered cavalry.

"I wonder which lord is leading the troops?"

During Turiji's interrogation, the leader simply threw away a waist card and answered in blunt Jurchen dialect.

"It's on the emperor's order to escort the injured Lords of Belle back to the capital."

A few Belles were actually injured!

No wonder there were more than a dozen carriages and so many people were injured and sent back.

This battle is not an easy one!

In a daze, Turiji seemed to have something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. There was nothing wrong with the waist card. As for the

Soldiers and horses should be fine too.

Something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Although he felt something was wrong, Turiji still let people into the city.

What's wrong?

Even Turiji couldn't explain why. Besides the people of the Qing Dynasty, who else could the people who could reach the Shengjing City of the Qing Dynasty be?

In any case, Turiji could not have guessed that these cavalry were just Ming troops wearing Qing armor. After all, for them, even in their dreams, they would never have imagined that the Ming troops would suddenly appear under the city of Shengjing. After all, even if

All fools know that the Ming army is over there in Jinzhou. Even if they fly, they can’t reach Shengzhou.

In this way, this cavalry team of more than a thousand riders entered Shengjing City through the Waihuang Gate despite the wind and snow. They entered the city at a neither fast nor slow speed. When about a hundred riders entered, dozens of riders retreated to the road.

On both sides, when they approached the horse path leading up to the city wall intentionally or unintentionally, the soldier guarding the horse path was confused and prepared to step forward to ask a few questions. Suddenly, he saw the cavalry moving, and he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

He saw that the man could no longer draw his sword, and he was about to scream subconsciously when he saw the cavalry charging over with a ferocious smile in the wind and snow. The man's sword suddenly slashed at him, and he felt a chill and a sharp pain in the lower part of his neck.

Attacks the heart and lungs.

"ah……"

The soldier with his mouth wide open didn't even have time to scream, his head was separated from his neck.

"ah……"

The soldier next to him was shocked and just about to scream when the knife fell on him as well, and blood spurted out violently, splattering all over the horse path. The sudden attack did not allow the Qing troops on both sides of the horse path to react in a hurry, and just watched helplessly.

With these cavalry, they rode up to the city wall.

"You...ah!"

The movement inside the city gate made Turiji want to shout and ask the other party's identity when he saw a bearded rider throwing him to the ground from his horse with a ferocious smile. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

Pain comes,

"Ah...bah..."

With his mouth wide open, Turiji felt as if all his strength had suddenly been lost. At this time, Turiji heard someone shouting.

"kill!"

"They are clear dogs..."

When Turiji became conscious, he heard bursts of screams from the city gate. The soldiers didn't even have time to react, and were chopped down by the cavalry. Under the impact of the weapons, soon,

The battle in the city gate cave is over.

In the melee, more and more cavalry rushed into Waihumen and the main gate of the Manchu Qing capital.

"Go forward, go forward, kill towards the palace!"

Ding Pengcheng, who led the troops into Shengjing, gave orders while leading his men and horses from the horse path next to the city gate to the arrow tower on the city wall. At this time, the only few Qing soldiers on the arrow tower had been chopped down by the officers and soldiers who had rushed up earlier.

.

In fact, even until their death, the Qing troops on the arrow tower did not know that it would be the Ming troops who were charging into the city. They even thought that Lord Baylor was causing trouble.

Even when a large group of cavalry poured into Shenyang City from Huwaimen, walking along the ice-covered road and killing pedestrians on the road, there were still officials with red caps on their heads shouting and asking.

"Who are you? Are you the slaves of that flag..."

But what was waiting for him was the sword and gun slashed at his body. After the man was knocked to the ground with one knife, his lifeless body fell slumped on the snow. The cavalrymen galloped on the streets like this, slashing and killing the people they met along the way.

of anyone.

While Ding Pengcheng led hundreds of cavalry to the top of the city, the carts were also dragged by horses along the horse road to the top of the city. As soon as the carts reached the top of the city, the coachmen hurriedly lifted them from the carts.

After dismounting the artillery, the short and lightweight nine-pound mountain howitzer was aimed forward from the top of the city, aimed at Shengjing... no, aimed at Shenyang City.

Although the wind and snow blocked their sight, the gunners stuffed the shells into the cannons without asking, and then fired without hesitation. The shells immediately roared towards the city.

For a time, there were explosions everywhere in the city. The gunners on these city walls did not aim at all. The order they received was to hit the cannonballs into the city as much as possible. As for the target, it can be any target, the palace, the palace, the Yamen, etc.
