Chapter 363: Frustrate the enemy's spirit

Man Dahai heard the shouting of the city, and was slightly stunned, so he let out a cold snort quite shamelessly, "The light of fireflies, dare to compete with the sun and the moon, today let you and other Nanban see the power of my Qing soldiers." \u000b Mandahai then turned back and ordered: "General Hetuo, shoot him with cavalry first!" ”

"Wow!"

And Tuo is also Wang Yan's old opponent, when he was in Qingzhou, he almost took Wang Yan's life, Liu Shun also knew this Manchurian general, knew that he was the son of Kangkler's brother, in the first year of Shunzhi, with Kabush Xianjia Lazhangjing from the customs, broke Li Zicheng Tong Pass, moved troops to Jiangning, regained from Belle Bolo to Zhejiang, broke the Ming Dynasty Yue Guogong Guoan is equal to Hangzhou, is a difficult to mess with the fierce general.

He immediately turned around and got on his horse and galloped into the cavalry, when the drum beat changed, and two thousand white armor and eight banners gathered behind him and formed a formation, and he waved his sword and shouted, "Follow me!" "\u000b Two thousand iron horsemen followed the general and Tuo to the city of Guangzhou, ten miles away, the cavalry was huge, and the two thousand iron horsemen were like a rolling torrent to kill the city, the sound of huge horses' hooves echoed on the earth like muffled thunder, and the overwhelming dust obscured the sky.

There are few horses in the Central Plains, not to mention the land of Guangnan, Zheng Chenggong has failed many times in history, and he has suffered a loss without cavalry, although there are only two thousand eight banners under the city at present, but the momentum created is enough to exceed nearly 10,000 infantry troops.

Cavalry deterrence, this is the Manchurians' consistent combat method, whether it is a siege or a field battle, first use the iron cavalry to create a huge momentum to deter the opponent, and then cooperate with superb cavalry shooting, so that the enemy feels frightened.

The people of Guangnan rarely saw such a scene, the Manchurian cavalry with bows and arrows in hand, and the appearance of the fierce and vicious, so that the defenders of the city were visually shocked, but the Zhongwu battalion that withdrew into the city was accustomed to the Qing cavalry, and they fought with the Qing soldiers twice in eastern Guangdong, although they ended in failure, but they were no longer as panicked as when they first saw the cavalry.

"Hmph~" Liu Shun looked at the rushing cavalry, his eyes couldn't help but be cold, "I really deceived me too deeply, I don't know my name Liu Popi!" Someone, bring the Franc cannon over! ”

When the Ming army heard this, they immediately gathered the little Buddha Lang machine, and there were a large number of foot archers and bird commanders who stepped up to the head of the city to defend, and Liu Shun hit it with a high blow, which would definitely surprise the Qing soldiers.

At this time, the two thousand iron cavalry were getting closer and closer to the city, and when they were about to approach the moat, they bent their bows and arrows, and when the cavalry completed the turn, they were about to throw a rain of arrows, but at this moment, a Portuguese in the city suddenly issued an order, "tiro~"

After Wang Yan purchased artillery in Macao last time, he saw that the Xiyi firearms were very sophisticated, and the drills hit the artillery extremely high, and even Chen Yujie was greatly admired, so Wang Yan immediately entrusted the Jesuit missionary Bo Yingli to recruit a group of Xiyi talents for him to train the artillery team. Wang Yan's army in Huguang was not trained, but there were more than 40 Portuguese in Guangzhou, serving the Ming army.

As early as the Shenzong period, the Ming Dynasty began to contact with Portugal, and by the end of the Apocalypse, there were already Portuguese people serving the Ming army, and even recruited a short-lived Portuguese mercenary army during the Chongzhen period, so the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were completely different in terms of external thinking.

After hundreds of years of erasure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we can no longer know the specific appearance of the Ming Dynasty, but through some clues, we can still see the difference between the two, and it is these differences that have brought China into the darkness of modern times.

No matter how much some people boast about the Qing Dynasty, they cannot ignore the fact that China has always been ahead of the world before the Ming Dynasty, and this alone can show that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has basically made no contribution to China's progress.

The Qing soldiers took Hetuo as the arrow, changed from rushing to encircling the city, and hundreds of cavalry who were running in the front turned their horses and continued to run wildly against the moat.

But just after they ran out of dozens of steps, the Ming gunners in the city, under the command of the Portuguese, suddenly fired cannons, more than 20 small Francos opened fire at the same time, and the Ming army's birds and bows and arrows also shot down in a volley, and the dozens of war horses running in the front suddenly neighed, and the scattered bullets instantly led the Qing soldiers and horses into a sieve.

There are three types of artillery shells in the Ming army, solid shells, scattered shells, and flowering shells.

As the name suggests, there is no gunpowder inside, and it is cast from iron and lead, and it is mainly used for siege holes and fortifications through city walls, with a long range, but it is not very lethal to personnel.

Shotguns are composed of several pounds of lead and iron pellets, and there are also those filled with gravel, and when shooting, a dozen large pieces are mainly used to kill and injure people, but shotguns have a fatal weakness, that is, the range is short, and the effective killing is about 100 zhang. It was precisely because of this that the Ming army put the Qing army on the moat and began to fire.

Flowering shells, on the other hand, are more troublesome, containing gunpowder inside, and are named for the shrapnel that shoots out like a flower when it explodes. Since the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, iron-shelled flowering shells have appeared in China, and their improved versions were used by the Yuan army in the conquest of Japan. Artillery shells were widely used in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, such as Ningjin Dajie, which used this kind of shells, but the power of this kind of flowering shells was actually very limited, and it was difficult to manufacture.

A cannon sound came from the city, and the smoke from the artillery spread over the city. \u000bThe horses galloping under the city trampled on the fallen cavalry, and the soldiers were suddenly blurred with blood and flesh, and the screams were loud, and he was shocked when he saw this, and he saw that the city was well prepared, and did not dare to fight bravely, so he hurriedly sent an arrow, and then turned the horse's head again, and turned back with the cavalry.

The proportion of firearms in the army of the Ming Dynasty is very high, but it is the elite soldiers of Jiubian, Liaozhen and so on, since the surrender of Zuozhen and the four towns of Jiangbei, the remaining soldiers and horses, except for Zheng's equipment is a little better, the others are either loose soldiers who have been neglecting the battle formation for a long time, or newly recruited soldiers, or spontaneously formed volunteers.

Firearms is a technical job, the two capitals fell, there are not many workshops and craftsmen who can make firearms in Nanming, not to mention the bird unification, it is already very good to have knives and arrows, so when Nanming was fighting with the Qing court, the equipment was actually in a weak position.

Most of the former semi-firearms army has retreated to the era of cold weapons, and it is said that the Qing army led by Bolo has the biggest battle to wipe out eastern Zhejiang, but their opponent is only more than 100,000 recruits expanded on the basis of Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren's 20,000 or 30,000 people.

In a corner of eastern Zhejiang, it is obviously impossible to make up the equipment of more than 100,000 people in just over a year, and it is precisely because of this that the Qing soldiers began to despise the army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and completely forgot that he had fought for more than 20 years or could only be blocked out of the pass, if there was no Li Zicheng's help, he would not want to enter the customs for the rest of his life.

The Eight Banners did not expect that there were so many firearms in the city of Guangzhou, and the artillery bombardment disrupted the formation of the Qing soldiers, but the Eight Banners were indeed elite, and under such circumstances, they still threw a rain of arrows into the city, killing and wounding dozens of Ming soldiers.

This impact did not play a role in deterring the defenders at all, but left nearly a hundred corpses, and retreated in a hurry, so that Man Dahai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face, Tong Yangjia on the side hurriedly found him a step and said: "Marshal, the Southern Barbarians don't dare to fight in the field, only with the advantage of firearms, it is better to camp first, and wait for the baggage and Hongyi artillery to arrive and attack the city together." ”

Man Dahai saw that the city was well prepared, and knew that a hard attack was not pleasing to him, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and did not mention any Qing warriors, nodded and said: "Well, Ben Shuai will let them live for two more days, pass the order, and retreat five miles to the camp!" ”
