Longkodo has been attacking Dihua for three days. In the past three days, the two sides first bombarded each other, and then launched a fierce battle for the city.

The Qing army is now slightly different from the Qing army before. Since the loss of Beijing City, the Qing Dynasty has completely understood the gap between itself and the Ming Dynasty, especially in the use of firearms.

Although there were always firearms in the Qing Dynasty troops, these firearms played a significant role in pacifying the Three Feudals, destroying the Zheng family in Taiwan, or fighting with Mongolia, due to the innate shortcomings of the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains, in order to stabilize the rule and prevent the regime being overthrown by the Han people, Kangxi has always restricted the development of firearms and promoted the ancestors to ride and shoot at the root, which led to the Qing Dynasty only maintaining its original state in the use of firearms, and even to other degrees is not as good as the former Ming Dynasty in the past.

After Zhu Yicheng's rise, he vigorously developed firearms. In just a few years, the Ming Dynasty's firearms advanced greatly surpassed that of the Qing Dynasty. He even formed a new army of pure firearms to reform the Ming army system as a structural structure.

The Ming New Army officially took the stage of history for the first time in the war to attack Tianjin and recover Beijing. Its appearance completely terrified the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would use the firearms that it originally did not pay attention to to this extent. The Ming New Army used its advantage to easily defeated the Qing army several times its own outside Beijing, thus causing the Qing Dynasty to suffer a crushing defeat and eventually flee from Beijing.

Since then, the Qing regime has understood that the current firearms have completely changed the form of war. In order to compete with the Ming army, Emperor Jianxing decided to follow the example of the Ming army to form his own new army, which is also based on the equipment of powerful firearms.

It was precisely because of this decision that the Qing Dynasty and Russia joined forces to divide the northern desert into an incident.

Imitating Ming munitions and purchasing firearms from Russia at the same time was the decision of Emperor Jianxing at that time. It has to be admitted that although the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Central Plains after it and completely lost control of the Central Plains, the new army formed by the Qing Dynasty was still effective.

It was precisely because of the formation of the new army that Prince Guo's expedition to the Western Regions was unstoppable. In just over a year, he captured cities and plundered land and destroyed countless countries.

Similarly, the army under Prince Guo, apart from the ordinary troops formed by the Western Regions after the destruction of the country, its backbone force was the first new army trained by Emperor Jianxing in Guanzhong.

Prince Guo's new army not only has a relatively proportional firearm configuration, but also gained a lot of practical experience in the years of war. In addition, the army is well treated, has high morale and strong combat effectiveness. Even though Longkodo holds an army based on the Qingqing Army in his hand, he has no advantage in facing such an opponent.

When it comes to artillery, both sides are similar, and neither side is equipped with powerful "general artillery". Due to the loss of the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty's military strength has greatly decreased. Except for the part purchased from Russia, the rest of the artillery owned by the two armies is just imitating the Ming army field artillery.

These artillery are short-range and weak in power. If they are only used in field battles between the two armies, they still have some effect. However, as a strong city like Dihua, the use of such artillery is not very effective. Moreover, the role of musketeers in siege is not very important, which also caused Longkodo to suffer a considerable loss from the beginning of the attack.

After three days, Longkodo's troops suffered much more casualties than Prince Guo. Even so, they still failed to truly climb the city of Dihua. Faced with such a bad situation, Longkodo could not sit still, especially his subordinates and generals advised Longkodo that he would continue to attack like this without any confidence, and he would only suffer.

"Master, you can't fight like this anymore!"

The deputy general held the helmet in his arms, his face full of anxiety. He had just commanded a group of people to attack the city, but after rushing several times, he still failed to rush to the top of the city. Not only that, he also left hundreds of corpses under the city of Dihua. Even his Goshha was killed by the cold gun shot from the city in order to protect himself.

"Master, the casualties have been very serious these days, so let's take it slow." Another general of the sergeant saw the deputy general speak and quickly persuaded him. As soon as these two people said, the other generals present couldn't help but persuade him. Listening to the following words, Longkodo's face looked extremely ugly.

"Do you think I just want to fight? I can't do anything!" Longkodo said in his heart, but he couldn't say this. He didn't know that it was not so easy to fight Dihua. If Prince Guo had a good solution, he would have solved it long ago. His military strength was not superior, and his geographical advantage was not superior, and even the use of firearms was the same.

From the beginning, Longkodo knew in his heart that he had a very small chance of winning in this battle, and that there would be a huge chance of fighting. As expected, he attacked repeatedly in the past three days, but Dihua was still moving, but he had already suffered thousands of soldiers.

When Longkodo thought of so many casualties, he felt very heartbroken. Today's early morning is not the Qing Dynasty. After losing the Central Plains, he retreated to the northwest. The Qing Dynasty not only lost its territory, but also lost its inexhaustible population base.

Moreover, some of these soldiers were brought back from the Central Plains battlefield, and the other part was finally compiled by the imperial court. These were all the reliances of the Qing Dynasty! Whether facing foreign races or guarding against the Ming Dynasty, only these soldiers and horses were in hand, the Qing Dynasty could still maintain it.

But now, when his own people beat his own people, the people who were killed and injured were all from the Qing Dynasty, which made Longkodoji helpless. But he had to do so. He had to ignore Prince Yong's orders. If he did not fight Dihua, what Longkodo would face was conceivable.

"Enough!" The general's voice became louder and louder, and Longkodo was also restless. He slapped the table and shouted in a hoarse voice. The roar was suddenly silent.

"Where is no immortal in war? Although Dihua is a strong city in the Western Regions, what is it worth to be placed in the Central Plains? After only a few days of fighting, you are just yelling like this. If you were facing the Ming army, you would have dispersed long ago?"

This sentence made everyone speechless. The deputy general hesitated and was about to explain, but Longkodo waved his hand and told him not to speak for now.

"Prince Guo did not obey the will of the saint and plotted against him. How could my Qing Dynasty tolerate him like this? Now he is just relying on Dihua City in his hands. If he is in the field, he will have been beaten to pieces by our troops! Dihua is difficult to take it down for a while, and that is only temporary. It is only a matter of time before we defeat Dihua with the strength of our army. Once the Dihua rebellion is pacified, the enemy leader is captured, and the Western Regions are about to be pacified. It is not impossible for our Qing Dynasty to reorganize the Western Regions and strive to govern. It is not impossible to return to the Central Plains when the time comes."

Speaking of this, Longkodo glanced at everyone coldly. Some nodded slightly, some bowed their heads without saying a word, and some stood silently.

The previous words may make sense, but Longkodo actually knew in his heart that the possibility of returning to the Central Plains is not high, but now morale is the best. If you lose morale, don’t talk about anything else. Maybe if you continue to fight, you will be defeated.

With a sigh in his heart, Longkodo still looked confident and said: "Although there were casualties in the attack on Dihua in the past three days, these casualties were not in vain. At least I saw this way to break Dihua."

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Master, how to defeat Dihua?"
