Chapter 942: War under the city
Not to mention, frequent natural disasters and domestic bandits' rebellion made the entire dynasty uneasy. The Donglin Party members controlled Emperor Chongzhen for their own selfish interests, preventing Chongzhen from collecting commercial taxes, and could only exert pressure on the people. The people were already poor and could not survive, so they rebelled one after another.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty still had the energy to develop firearms. In addition, traitors and traitors surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, bringing advanced firearm forging technology to the Qing Dynasty, which increased and decreased, so that the Qing cavalry entered the Central Plains.
At this time, Jiergalang, eight thousand iron cavalry, and the Eight Banners Cavalry that swept across Liaodong back then. In the hands of Kong Xiangxin, who had only a mere 3,000 men, he was so fragile.
The combat power of the Eight Banners Qing soldiers still exists. When they charge, they still go one after another. Their bows and arrows are still accurate. However, in front of hot weapons, cold weapons are destined to withdraw from the stage of history.
The huge smoke from the flintlock rifle made the battlefield smoky. This invisibly blocked the sight of the Qing Dynasty archers, making these archers unable to find their targets at all.
The flintlock rifle only needs to be lined up in three rows and take turns to shoot. This blind shooting method is still very high. In addition, the huge sound of the firearms frightened the war horses.
The combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, who was once proud, was disintegrated. This made Dorgon, who was standing on the city wall, feel as if he was dead.
Such Ming army, whatever they use to resist, and whatever they use. No matter what kind of weapons they have, they are vulnerable in front of muskets.
Teng Dun can only protect important parts of the cavalry, and it is also at medium and long distances. If the musket hits a human waist or a war horse, it will also cause huge lethality.
The lead bullet of the flintlock rifle can easily tear off the thick wooden boards. After hitting the human body, it can also cause penetration injuries.
Generally, those who are shot will lose their combat effectiveness immediately.
A lead bullet flew over his head, scaring Jirgalang to shrink his neck. Then, a burning pain in his left ear, and a stream of blood flowed into his neck. Jirgalang reached out and touched it, and the left ear was covered in blood. When he saw that the palm of his hand was covered with blood.
Another lead bullet smashed Jirgalang's left earlobe and hit a running Qing army general in front of him. The general did not hum and fell off the horse's back and stopped moving.
Although he has always been known for his bravery, Jirgalang was still scattered when facing the fierce firearms of the Ming army. He desperately urged the war horses to run towards the city gate.
The Ming army, which was besieged from all directions, began to attack the Qing army that rushed out of the city. After the Eight Banners soldiers on the city wall saw the combat effectiveness of the Ming army with their own eyes, their morale was slumped.
It turned out that the firearms actually had such power. The bows and arrows that were invincible in the world back then had no room for resistance in front of the firearms.
Fortunately, the cannons on the walls of Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty began to fight back. Although they were solid bullets, the cannons of the Qing Dynasty were still powerful. The shells fell into the Ming army camp, causing considerable casualties.
