Chapter 276 Surprise attack on Shengjing

This is a snowy dawn. The endless snow covers Liaodong in the snow and ice. The biting cold wind forces few people to go out, and only a few people who make a living are driving carriages and horses on the snow-covered roads. Shengjing City naturally no longer has the bustle and noise of the past.

In fact, a few months ago, after the emperor ordered all the troops and horses to be sold to the Eight Banners, the princes and Beile in Shengjing City also led their servants to fight to steal the Han people. This is a chance to make a fortune!

Because more than 100,000 people were recruited, almost all the adult males of the Eight Banners were recruited, so only the elderly, weak, women and children were left inside and outside the city, and at most some Han people were still coated. For a time, the city of Shengjing became less popular.

Because there were few people, the soldiers guarding the city gate became very lazy. The weapons were leaned against the wall of the city gate. They kept rubbing their hands and cursing the ghost weather, which made them not have the chance to go to the west or the Central Plains to steal the Han. Occasionally, when a few Han people driving firewood carts passed by, the soldiers were too lazy to check and pass by.

"It seems to be some movement."

Although they were complaining in their hearts that they missed the opportunity to make money by stealing the Han people, 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 a group of soldiers coming.

Are the soldiers who came back from the west?

Turiji, wearing a bearskin jacket, narrowed his eyes and looked at the end of the road. Because the heavy snow blocked his sight, he could not see clearly the person coming. Listening to the sound of horse hooves, as the team of people slowly approached the city gate, he finally saw clearly who the team was coming.

It is a man with red flags.

I wonder which master came back from the west?

The group of gate guards stood hurriedly by the city gate to avoid blocking the way. They squinted their eyes in a daze and looked at the cavalry with snow on their bodies.

"I wonder which lord is the one who leads the troops?"

During the investigation of Turiji, the leader directly threw a waist card and replied in a stiff Jurchen word.

"It was on the order of the emperor to escort the injured Mr. Beile back to Beijing."

Several of the Beller masters were actually injured!

No wonder there were more than a dozen carriages, so many of them were injured, and they were sent back.

This battle is not easy!

In a trance, Turiyoshi seemed a little wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was wrong. There was no problem with this waist card, as for

There should be no problem with the troops.

But it seemed a little wrong, but he couldn't tell it was wrong.

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

What's wrong?

Even Turiji could not tell the reason why, who could be the one who could reach Shengjing City of the Qing Dynasty, besides the people of the Qing Dynasty?

In any case, Turiji could not guess that these cavalry were just Ming troops wearing Qing army armor. After all, for them, even if they were dreaming, they would probably not have expected that the Ming army would suddenly appear under Shengjing City. After all, even if the fools knew that even if the Ming army was in Jinzhou, they could not have been able to fly to Sheng.

In this way, this cavalry of more than a thousand riders entered Shengjing City through the wind and snow. The speed of entering the city was neither fast nor slow. When they entered more than a hundred riders, dozens of riders retreated to both sides of the road. When they approached the horse road on the city wall intentionally or unintentionally, the soldiers guarding the horse road were puzzled and ready to ask a few questions. Suddenly, he saw the cavalry moving, and he couldn't help but be stunned. At this time, the man twitched the knife. He subconsciously was about to scream, but the cavalry rushed over with a grin in the wind and snow. The knife in the man's hand suddenly slashed. He felt a chill under his neck and a severe pain hit his heart and lungs.

"ah……"

The soldier with his mouth wide open did not even come and shouted in a hurry, and his head was separated from his neck.

"ah……"

The soldiers next to him were shocked and about to shout, the knife also fell on him, and blood spurted out, splashing all over the entire horse road. The sudden attack made the Qing army on both sides of the horse road come to react without any rush, and just watched the cavalry rush up to the city wall.

"You guys...ah!"

The movement inside the city gate made Turiji just want to ask about his identity when he saw a bearded rider with a grin on his horse and knocking him to the ground. Before he could react, he felt a severe pain in his neck.

"Ah...h..."

Turiji, who opened his mouth wide, felt as if he had lost all his strength all over his body. At this time, Turiji heard someone shouting.

"kill!"

"They are Minggou..."

When Turiji's consciousness became like that, he heard screams sounding from the city gate. The soldiers didn't even come and responded quickly, and were chopped to the ground by the cavalry. Under the impact of the weapons, the battle in the city gate was soon over.

During the melee, more and more cavalrymen rushed into the foreign gates and entered the main gate of the Qing capital.

"Call forward, forward, and kill in the direction of the palace!"

Ding Pengcheng, who led his troops into Shengjing, issued an order while leading his troops to kill the arrow tower on the city wall from the horse road next to the city gate. At this time, only a few Qing troops on the arrow tower had been cut down by the officers and soldiers who had rushed up earlier.

In fact, even until his death, the Qing army on the arrow tower did not know that it would be the Ming army that would enter the city. They even thought that it was the Beile who was doing the trouble.

Even when the brigade of cavalry rushed into Shenyang City from the foreign gates and followed the snow-covered road, slashing pedestrians on the road, there were still officials with red heads shouting loudly.

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

What awaited him was the swords and guns that were chopping the man on his body. After slashing the man to the ground with one knife, his lifeless body fell down on the snow. The cavalry rode his horse on the street, killing anyone he met along the way.

While Ding Pengcheng led hundreds of cavalry to the top of the city, the carts were also dragged by horses along the horse path to the top of the city. As soon as the carts arrived at the top of the city, the coachmen hurriedly lifted the cannons from the carts, and the short and light nine-jin mountain howitzer aimed at the front from the city, aiming at Shengjing... No, aiming at Shenyang City.

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

For a moment, there were explosions everywhere in the city, and the gunners on the city wall did not aim at it at all. The order they received was to hit the shells into the city as much as possible. As for the target, it could be any target, the palace, the royal palace, the government, the government, the house...
