Chapter 455: Dodo! Dorgon!

It is conceivable that in Dengzhou City, there are five thousand tatar backbones in charge, thousands of Korean minions, and tens of thousands of Ming army rebels. The combat effectiveness is much stronger than that in the previous Dongjiang Town. With its current strength, it is no longer realistic to capture Dengzhou City. Because the Tatars can mobilize reinforcements from the sea at any time. The current Tartars have the Eight Mongolian Banners, the Korean minions, and the Han army flag, and their strength has been several levels higher than before.

Dong Shuyan didn't expect that so many people had come to the Tartars, and secretly thanked that she ran fast. The five thousand Tartars were so terrifying. Tens of thousands of Tartars went south from the northern country and plundered Xuanfu, Beizhili, Jingji and other places, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops did nothing. They were not against the incense sect facing the five thousand Tartars? So she felt at ease.

Zhang Zhun suddenly asked, "All the Tartars are cavalry?"

Someone answered affirmatively: "No. There are only a few war horses."

Zhang Zhun breathed a little relieved.

Fortunately, due to the influence of sea transportation, the Tartars' war horses should not arrive so quickly. At the same time, considering the influence of logistics supply, the Tartars' war horses should not be large. After all, the food required by a war horse can provide seven or eight people with food and drink. If the Tartars were all cavalry, it would inevitably increase the logistics burden. Unless the Tartars were prepared to plunder food and grass around Dengzhou Prefecture. However, the current situation of Dengzhou Prefecture is not much food and grass for plundering war horses. Therefore, the Tartars' cavalry should not be large.

As long as the Tartars did not have enough cavalry, the situation was not very bad. The Tartars' best skills were riding and shooting, and the most arrogant one was riding and shooting. Without enough war horses to cooperate, the Tartars could not fully exert their combat power. At that time, the Tartars on Tianheng Island could only exert part of their combat power because they did not have enough war horses, and were destroyed by the Tiger Army.

"There are also red cannons in Dengzhou City!"

"A shot came out, so many people died!"

"Our altar master was also killed by the red cannon."

Just as Zhang Zhun breathed a sigh of relief, someone suddenly said again.

Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned and said subconsciously: "Red Cannon?"

The Tartars actually pulled the cannon to Dengzhou City?

Damn, the Tartars really use their brains!

"It's true! I saw it with my own eyes near the port!"

"There are at least a dozen doors! They are all shipped by ship!"

"A great cannon! It's much larger than ordinary cannons!"

The spies from the Smelling Incense Sect also said one after another.

Zhang Zhun hurriedly calmed down and asked carefully. Soon, he confirmed a worse news. The Tatars did pull the Red Cannon to Dengzhou City. The Tatars suffered a great loss in the cannon when they attacked the city. Even the slave chief Nurhaci died under the cannon, so they naturally understood the importance of cannons to defend the city. Therefore, in order to defend the strategic point of Dengzhou City, they used the Red Cannon without hesitation.

Zhang Zhun even guessed that the Tartars might have temporarily abandoned the war horses and had to transport the cannons first. After all, the war horses are not very useful for defending the city, and the role of the cannons in defending the city is decisive. The Tartars' courage and archery skills and cannons are perfect for defending the city. No matter who it is, they have to pay a heavy price to win such a strong city.

Needless to ask, these cannons must have been given to the Tartars by the traitor Kong Youde. When Kong Youde surrendered to the Tartars, he brought the red cannons cast by Sun Yuanhua and many craftsmen to the Tartars. The slave chief Huang Taiji was very happy and rewarded Kong Youde with many gifts on the spot. He also ordered the establishment of a cannon factory in the south of Shenyang to imitate the red cannon. By the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the number of cannons in the Tatars was already greater than that of the Ming army.

Fortunately, the Tartars were just obsessed with cannons and were not very enthusiastic about muskets. The main reason was that the Tartars always emphasized that caving and shooting was the foundation of the country. If they were to study muskets, they would give up caving and shooting. This was not allowed by the Tartars. Therefore, the Tartars' research on firearms was a typical lame walk. The number of cannons cast by the Tartars was basically not used. The muskets seized by the Tartars were all used by the rebels of the Han army flag. The main force of the Tartars' Han army flag was Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde. As for Wu Sangui, he had not yet surrendered to the Tartars at this time.

Maybe, now the three big traitors are all in Dengzhou City. They are most familiar with the situation in Shandong, and the slave chief will definitely bring them to Shandong. With their guidance, the Tartars will soon become familiar with the situation in Shandong. If there is no accident, after the Tartars gain a foothold in Dengzhou City, they will quickly expand around and encircle the Jingji and other places. Such a strategic model has always been the Tartars' dream.

Dong Shuyan said in disbelief: "Did you really see the cannon?"

The backbone of the Scented Sect insisted that they really saw the cannon.

Zhang Zhun had to bite his teeth hard. The Tatars deployed the Red Barbarian cannons in Dengzhou City, and it would be difficult for the Tiger Army to attack the city. The power of the Red Barbarian cannons is much greater than that of the Flangji cannons, and the Hubian cannons cannot suppress them at all. It is difficult to use the means of blasting the siege. Because since the Tartars even dragged the Red Barbarian cannons, other Flangji cannons will not be missing. The Red Barbarian cannons, the Flangji cannons, and the Tartars' bows and arrows are simply the most perfect defense system.

Later historians conducted detailed research on the Dengzhou mutiny. Data showed that Kong Youde captured 6,000 old soldiers, 1,000 reinforcements, 3,000 horses, 100,000 taels of silver, more than 20 red-branded cannons, 300 Western cannons, and countless other firearms and armored wars. While fighting against the imperial court's Shenji Camp, Kong Youde defeated the Shenji Camp and seized at least five red-branded cannons.

Later, he took all these cannons and supplies to the Tartars. It was precisely because of these cannons and supplies, and a large number of craftsmen (all directly taught by the Portuguese military consultants, military technical talents for ammunition manufacturing technology, targeting knowledge and instrument operation), that the Tartars mastered the artillery manufacturing technology at once. The artillery made by the Tartars was even more fierce than those of the Ming army.

The Mongols back then also attached great importance to cannons while vigorously developing cavalry and shooting. The famous Hui Hui cannons are the main force of the Mongols' siege. They are invincible in field battles, cavalry and shooting, and Hui Hui cannons are invincible. The combination of the two made the Mongols dominate the world. If it weren't for their own division, it would be impossible to sweep the world. The Tartars are the same. It's just that Hui Hui cannons were replaced by red cannons.

Dog-good Tartar!

This step was really taken advantage of by them!

"By the way, the leader of the Tartars seems to be called Dogon..."

"There is also a leader of the Tartar, named Duoduo and something...

Suddenly, another spy from the Scented Incense Sect said incoherently.

"Dorgon?"

"Dodo?"

Zhang Zhun said in dismay.

"It seems to be this name..."

The spy from the Scent of the Incense Sect said with little certainty.

Even with Zhang Zhun's determination, he had to pat his forehead hard to stabilize his emotions. The Tatars had a red cannon that was shocked enough. Unexpectedly, the two names that popped up were even more shocking.

Duoduo!

Dorgon!

His grandma, this is a bad thing. Shandong is not enough to be lively! It is not surprising that Duoduo has come. This guy has always been a young and energetic master, and he is indispensable in any war. Under fifteen years old, Duoduo was already fighting on the front line. The key is that even Dorgon came in person. Among the many slave chiefs, in addition to Huang Taiji, Dorgon is the most cunning.

Zhang Zhun was not afraid of the rudeness of the Tartars, not afraid of the brute force of the Tartars, not afraid of the Tartars' bravery, but fear of the Tartars being educated. The Tartars who only cavalry and shoot are not scary. However, in addition to being proficient in cavalry and shoot, the Tartars also mastered the casting technology of cannons, which is very scary. If there is cavalry and shoot, there is cannon, and a little bit of military tactics, it will be even more scary.

People in later generations said that the Tartars started with a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but this is not the case. Among the slave chiefs, there are actually not a few people who understand military tactics. Compared with those civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, they had to be more proficient in military tactics. Their military tactics were not learned from military books, but learned in war. They were practical and more targeted.

Dorgon is not easy to deal with!

This guy is definitely an old fox!

Whether it is military strategy or political skills, this guy can be regarded as a top-notch master of the slave chief. No wonder the Tartars' strategy was very focused and acted quickly. Dorgon must be behind it. He first used a strategy to let Shang Kexi kill Shen Shikui, then lured Dongjiang Town, and then immediately marched towards Dengzhou City. I believe that Ruan Dacheng's surrender is also inseparable from Dorgon's planning.

Calculate his age, Dorgon should be less than 25 years old now. Grandma, she is so evil at such a young age, and she will still be able to grow up when she grows up? No wonder Huang Taiji actively suppressed Dorgon in many ways, but in the end he was successfully promoted by Dorgon and became the regent. Historical records show that Dorgon climbed up entirely on military achievements. Therefore, don’t doubt Dorgon’s military command ability.

"Dodo, Dorgon, is it scary?" Dong Shuyan asked hesitantly.

"Doduo is not scary, what is scary is Dorgon." Zhang Zhun said with a gloomy expression.

Thinking of himself fighting wits and courage with Dorgon, Zhang Zhun felt his shoulders subconsciously sinking. In his previous life, he was just a small non-commissioned officer and had never been in contact with a real fierce man. Especially the founding fierce man. Dorgon was an absolute fierce man. The Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains for a considerable reason, which was his body.

"bring it on!"

"Let the contest start from now on."
