Cheng Xiaolian also often goes to the inner city to watch the battle these days, but he feels that the Manchu army is not as terrible as he remembers.

This is also the truth, the Qing Dynasty entered the army, that is, those brave soldiers, the last residual power was all smashed in the south of the Yangtze River, and later the Zhou Dynasty won a big victory and wiped out the last bit of elite.

As for Tuhai, he became famous by defeating the Mongolian rebellion with a group of minions in the house, and became famous in the world, and his subordinates did not enter the army when they entered the customs, and later mobilized so many people, all of whom were recruited in the capital, and most of the parents of these recruits were those who entered the customs from the dragon, but they grew up in the capital, and most of them did not inherit the courage of their fathers, so they relied on their strength to fight.

At the beginning, there was a saying in the Ming Dynasty, saying that the Jurchen was not satisfied with 10,000 and was invincible, and the Qing Dynasty army at that time really made the opponent weak.

Moreover, now the Ming Dynasty relies on the city of Beijing, which can be called the strongest city in the world, but it has not fallen behind.

As long as this momentum can be maintained, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to lose, you must know that now is not the same as before, the Ming Dynasty occupies half of the country, relatively speaking, the Qing Dynasty only left the bitter cold land of Liaodong, when it comes to the potential for development, the Ming Dynasty can definitely leave the Qing Dynasty behind, so the stalemate, after another three or five years, the gap between the two countries will become bigger and bigger, the Ming Dynasty did not destroy the Jurchens in Liaodong, because of the erosion of the government, now the Ming Dynasty is thriving, the momentum is like a rainbow, if it is consumed, it will be no problem.

Tuhai outside the city also realized this problem, his soldiers can only go to Liaodong to transfer troops after the fight, the soldiers are finished, and there is half of the country behind him, Shaanxi and Shanxi alone are enough to drink a pot of their own, not to mention Henan and Sichuan, which are large grain-producing provinces.

He reported all the situation here to Kangxi, who was far away in Shengjing, hoping that Kangxi could come up with a plan for both.

And Wang Jiyong, who was on the periphery, was very anxious at first, for fear that Tuhai would break the Beijing division in one fell swoop, and at the beginning of the war, he was filled with human lives, but now he can be regarded as understanding, after fighting for so many days, Tuhai's men and horses have not even rushed up to the city several times, and even if they rushed up, they were quickly driven down, so they were relieved, while attacking Tuhai's army, and on the other hand, they were looking for opportunities to prepare to cut off Tuhai's grain route.

You must know that this Gyeonggi heavy land is no longer Tuhai's territory, even if he comes to attack the city with food, he will definitely not bring so much grain, sooner or later Liaodong will have to transport grain to him, as long as the grain transport team appears, Wang Jiyong will immediately lead people to rush over, if he can rob it, he can't rob it, and he can't burn it and he can't leave it for Tuhai.

Seeing that the momentum of the siege was very fierce at one time, and dozens of warriors had already rushed to the city, Tu Hai slowly clenched his fists, just waiting for them to gain a firm foothold and immediately let the army follow, who knew that the sound of dozens of muskets suddenly came from the city, seeing that these warriors all fell, Tu Hai sighed secretly in his heart, and it was not too early to see the sky, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops.

He can consult Kangxi on big strategic issues, but he has to solve this kind of problem by himself, the Ming Dynasty must have developed a new musket, according to the previous musket, it is impossible to fire so quickly and accurately so accurately. Ate dozens of your own warriors in one go, what kind of musket should this be?

Thinking of this, he called the firearms craftsmen in the camp, told him what he had seen and heard in the city today, and then asked, "Is it possible for us to develop such firearms?" Or how can such firearms be defended? ”

If it weren't for the fact that the person who said this was Tu Hai, this craftsman would have to scold, where there is an instantaneous firearm in this world, this musket has to use flint to ignite the fire rope, and when the fire rope burns, the projectiles of the musket can be shot out, and there is no such situation as Tu Hai said.

But Tu Hai doesn't need to lie to people like him, he can only believe that the Ming Dynasty has really developed a new firearm: "Dashuai, all firearms in this world have to use flint to ignite the arquebus, what Dashuai saw was really that our warriors all fell to the ground in an instant?" ”

"In less than ten breaths, nearly fifty warriors have all fallen."

"In this way, it seems that the Ming Dynasty has indeed developed a new type of firearm, but the minions are stupid, if they can capture a firearm of theirs, they may be able to imitate it, and now I really can't think of what method they use. As for the defense against such firearms, in general, wearing iron armor may be able to block the projectile. ”

Tu Hai waved his hand angrily: "You go down first." Of course, he knew that wearing iron armor could block the projectile, but wearing iron armor, let alone climbing the city wall, it was not easy to run over, and besides, where in the army was there so many iron stones to forge so many iron armor.

However, this craftsman said another way Tuhai was a little moved, of course it is very difficult to capture, almost none of the warriors who attacked the city these days have been able to survive, let alone capture muskets, but there are hidden piles of the Qing Dynasty in the capital, maybe you can steal one.

Long before the army set out, Kangxi handed over these hidden piles to Tuhai, and Tuhai immediately arranged for someone to contact the hidden piles in the city to see if he could steal two muskets out, so that he could be regarded as knowing himself and his opponent, and he would not be beaten passively all the time.

To practice the people in the city, you must use the carrier pigeon at night, and the people in the city are not blind during the day, and they must know that someone is contacting the city when they see the carrier pigeon, and they can all the hidden piles in the city after chasing the carrier pigeon.

That night, three pigeons were released, and they quietly crossed the city and landed in a private house.

The lights in this house have been turned off, it seems that the owner has fallen asleep, who knows that the moment the carrier pigeon falls, there is movement inside, a person walked out softly, went to the pigeon cage and took the carrier pigeon, took off the letter box, and then carried the carrier pigeon directly into the cellar.

If it weren't for keeping these carrier pigeons underground, I am afraid that they would have been discovered a long time ago, and this is how this person has to change his coat every time he goes to the cellar, for fear that the fluff of the pigeon will stick to his body and expose himself.

After reading the contents of the letter, he sighed, reached out and handed it to the candle, and as the letter turned to ashes, he left the cellar and returned to his room.

"Big brother, the people outside the city asked us to find a way to steal two muskets and get out."

"I'm afraid this matter is not easy to do, we have been to the city wall a few times, even if we deliver food, we have to check it, no one has ever been on the city, let alone touching firearms."
