Kangxi's mood is really good, although Daming's firearms surprised him, but then he was completely suppressed by his own cavalry and foot soldiers, it turns out that any firearms are kitsch and lewd skills, and they are not vulnerable in front of the powerful cavalry, and what Zhu Hetan said hoped that he would develop firearms well, it was nonsense at all.

In Kangxi's view, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is the immediate effort, if you give up your strengths, to chase the benefits of the musket is to sacrifice the basics, foolish.

Of course, he can't be blamed, the limitations of the times do limit his vision, if the steam era is in full swing around him, he must be able to make the right choice, but the times chose the West, when the Manchus thought they were the Celestial Empire, the times decided to wake them all up with a hammer.

Naturally, Kangxi put Cheng Xiaolian's words behind, if the Qing Dynasty learns from the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be far from the country, since this is the case, it is better to stick to your own things.

Before the battle on the second day, Kangxi sent a messenger to shout at Daming: "The firearms I saw yesterday are all ordinary, His Majesty the Emperor of my family said that the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry has the final say in this world!" At this time, of course Kangxi will not shout stupidly by himself, not to mention anything else, if Daming takes out the tiger squat cannon again, come like this, he will follow in the footsteps of his great-grandfather Nurhachi.

Cheng Xiaolian wasn't very angry, since he didn't know what to do, he just beat him up, and besides, it's not clear who will lose or win in today's war.

As yesterday's routine, the Manchu cavalry was in front and the foot soldiers launched an offensive in the rear, but the soldiers of the Ming army stuck to their positions and did not charge. However, in the eyes of Kangxi and his generals, it is normal, after all, they suffered a big loss yesterday, and of course they are passive defense today.

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Chen Cheng'an beside him: "If you hadn't given me this idea, I would have had the intention of defending the city." At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty could not defeat the Manchu cavalry, and it took so many years to rely on a few fortified cities outside the pass. ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't beat it for a while, if you have a shadow in your heart, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat it for the rest of your life, didn't Your Majesty also say it, they are not the original Manchu army, and we are not the Ming army of thirty years ago."

Daniel Zhang slept for two hours last night, and the rest of the time was spent thinking about how to break the enemy, and it was indeed a little tricky to suppress the strength, but one by one, there was always a good one.

Just when the Manchu cavalry was full of confidence to attack, there was a sudden explosion of the sky and the earth, and Cheng Xiaolian snorted coldly: "This dragon cannon can finally explode by itself after development, and it can be regarded as not in vain." ”

The Manchu Qing side was a little stunned, if it was bombarded by artillery, or even hit the head by the artillery that fell from the sky, he was not so stunned, he didn't see this spark and saw the people around him being blown apart, could it be that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to turn?

Kangxi was also stunned for a moment: "What kind of firearm is this?" ”

The courtier next to him looked at the smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and the man scratched his head on his horse: "The slave is incompetent, I really can't see what tricks Daming used." ”

"No matter what tricks they use, let the army rush over immediately, I won't believe it, they can still turn the sky upside down."

Soon a second explosion followed, and it didn't matter, for both horses were frightened and retreated backwards with their hooves upside down.

The Manchu cavalry general roared loudly: "Hurry up, rush to them, we will win!" ”

Behind him, a group of men and horses rushed forward, and in front of everyone's eyes, they were blown to pieces, and the sharp-eyed soldiers shouted: "The shells are underground, and there are artillery underground!" ”

The leading general hated to go up and slap him in the mouth, there was not even a small ditch in this place at a glance, how could someone hide in the ground and shoot cannonballs, besides, the brothers were not blind, could there be anyone nearby who could not see?

It was just that the smoke and dust were billowing from the front, and the rear army was also a little overwhelmed, and the general shouted: "Go, invite the craftsman in charge of muskets in the army." "There are no muskets made in this army, so most of the craftsmen do not follow the army, but there is always a time when the musket is broken, and it will have to be repaired by these people, which is why each army will have two or three craftsmen.

Soon a craftsman was handed over, this man looked to be forty or fifty years old, dressed in tattered clothes, and his face should belong to the kind that often did not have enough to eat, and there was no way to get there, people like them had no status in the world, no one valued them at all, and the fruits of their labor generally could not be exchanged for a few dollars, and their lives were all quite unsatisfactory.

Otherwise, Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand, and so many people would not have gone to Nanzhen Fusi to work at the risk of being blown up.

"Well, what's your name?"

"The minion's name is Feng Dawang."

"Feng Dawang, look at what kind of firearms the Ming Dynasty army used, how did they kill all the people of General Ben, and General Ben hasn't found out where the artillery is?"

The most frightening thing is often unknown, if there are ten red-clothed cannons in front of them, these soldiers will not be able to move forward, but they can't see anything and their comrades are blown up one by one, which is really a little weak.

Feng Dawang took a closer look at the injuries of the nearby soldiers and scratched his head: "It seems that the artillery has indeed hit the body, ordinary muskets do not have such great power, as for the reason why the artillery cannot be found, maybe the artillery is buried in the ground and lit with a twist." ”

I have to say that this person still has a few brushes, and he quickly deduced a rough one based on the traces of the scene.

The leading general nodded: "Okay, you go back first, and when you win this battle, this general will give you a reward." ”

"General Xie reward!"

Now that he has figured out the reason, the leading general is not afraid, this artillery must be ignited, looking at no one around, that is, it was ignited in the distance, as long as he does not pass this time, the shell will explode by itself, and he will definitely not hurt himself.

So the two men began to stare widely, until a quarter of an hour later the leading general found that he had been deceived, and then there was no explosion at all, and it seemed that there were only two shells.

"Rush up to me and kill these rebels of the Ming Dynasty!"

The cavalry behind him had the courage to rush up again, who knew that he didn't rush ten steps, and heard a landslide explosion, and everyone didn't dare to move, and they had already entered the shooting range of the Ming bow and arrow, you're welcome, the bow and arrow immediately shot, and these people could only retreat.
