Chapter 496
"Really want to try it?"
Duoduo said something uncertain.
"Now there are two thousand muskets, so of course we have to try them. No matter how hard we have to let these soldiers in the South Ming Dynasty know that we also have muskets in our hands. If we really fight, we are not just making fun of it. As long as they see these muskets, they will definitely make concessions. Anyway, I will never hand over everything."
Azig's plan was very simple. There were many people in the city who were as unwilling to give up as they did, so they prepared to organize an elite soldier, then rushed out of the city and fight with the people outside.
Of course, they did not think about turning the situation around. As long as they could win, they could get better chips in the subsequent negotiations.
If you lose the battle, there is naturally no room for any turnaround in the negotiations, but if you defeat it, if the army in your hands is unable to do anything to the other party, then you will have more conditions to put forward.
"Then let's do it. Now the city can still take out a lot of troops, and there are still tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry. Seeing that the food is getting less and less day by day, it's better to let the Mongolian cavalry go out and rush."
Before the capital was blocked, although the Mongolian cavalry did not all arrive, more than 30,000 cavalrymen also came in.
Those people are also very frightened now, but when they reach the territory of the Qing people, they belong to a few people after all. Even if they force them out with a knife, they have to let them out.
"You are right. Now we can only treat them as cannon fodder. Nancheng has the strongest strength. Let's rush out from Xicheng. There are not many cavalrymen in the Ming army on the other side to win a space for them first, and then let our musketeers go out. The cavalry will come back immediately. The Ming army will definitely still have the same way of marching, and then the musketeers will shoot each other."
This guy Ajige was thinking well, and even the Ming soldiers fell down in his mind.
After all, our people are not holding fire sticks. Muskets against muskets must be the case of killing ten thousand enemies and losing 8,000 to themselves.
"I don't want to hand over everything I have, and I have to go to a labor camp. I would rather die than do this."
Duoduo also said angrily that he had listened to Dorgon since he was a child, but he really couldn't listen to this matter in the end.
So you have to fight once, but you still respect Dorgon very much. You just put Dorgon under house arrest and never allow anyone to hurt much.
Just as they were preparing in full swing, Zhu Cixuan just ordered his soldiers to strengthen their defense.
No other order was issued, and Zhu Cixuan also wanted to see if Dorgon could regain command power. If he could regain command power, we should not do too much action here, so as to avoid helping the situation in an unknown situation.
The sound of cannons...
In Zhu Cixuan's tent, many people heard the sound of cannons coming from the west.
Something bad is...
These guys actually chose to make trouble in West City.
"Immediately order the Third Cavalry Regiment and the Fourth Cavalry Regiment to rush to the West City."
The soldiers were all ready, so when Zhu Cilang gave the order, the sound of galloping horses here immediately sounded.
"How is the defense of Xicheng?"
"If you go back to His Royal Highness, there is only one infantry regiment and one artillery battalion outside Xicheng City. However, if the other party does not have a large group of troops, they can withstand them. We have built a lot of defensive offensives outside the city. In addition, artillery only takes half a stick of incense to reach Xicheng."
After hearing this, Zhu Cilang had nothing to worry about. Although there were only seven or eight thousand infantry regiments, it would be unlikely to break through the defense line of seven or eight thousand people based on the current combat effectiveness of the Qing people.
The soldiers stationed in Xicheng were also wondering, how could they be the main battlefield here!
When they were assigned here, there were only one million of these guys who were unwilling to do so. They thought they had to participate in the battle when they arrived in the capital, but they were all sent to Xicheng without a single shot.
Everyone knows that Nancheng is the main battlefield. If we send us to this place, we will probably be studying with the prince.
Half an hour ago, they received the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let them all enter a state of combat. They still didn't understand what was going on. As a result, just after the preparations were completed, the three gates of the Xicheng City opened at the same time, and tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry rushed out from it.
What else is there to say? Both sides are enemies themselves, and it is obvious that the Mongols have hideous faces. They are either here to visit us or fight.
Although there were only forty-two artillery guns in an artillery battalion, it had already been prepared. Before their battalion commander could give orders, more than forty shells roared out and exploded in the Mongolian camp in an instant.
These Mongolian soldiers were considered second-class soldiers on the grassland. First-class soldiers were sent at the beginning, but they all lost all on various battlefields.
They had never seen the power of these artillery, so when the shells exploded, these guys were stunned. They didn't look like an excellent Mongolian soldier, dragging their war horses around, and even hitting their comrades to the ground.
A bad start...
These four words sounded in the hearts of Dodo and Ajige at the same time.
Duoduo once fought with the Ming army on the Shandong battlefield, so he naturally knew the power of the Ming army, but the army in front of him was still different from the one on the Shandong battlefield.
The main reason is that the muskets they used are different. It turns out that when the soldiers fired on the Shandong battlefield, they would have a burst of white smoke, but now these soldiers fired without any smoke.
The most terrible thing is that the gunshots are too dense. Although Duoduo does not understand some of the principles here, it can be heard just by listening to this sound. They are several times stronger than when they were in Qufu.
Of course, Azig couldn't hear the gunshots, but he could see a large number of cavalry falling from the horses.
This time, a total of 12,000 Mongolian cavalrymen were sent out. They did not ask them to do too much, but only asked them to be able to take down a piece of territory and then let the musketeers attack calmly.
"The musketeers suspend the attack."
Faced with the current situation, Ajige had to change their tactics, and now he was looking for death when he went out.
