Chapter 715: Katsuichi

Anyone will have a dream, Li Zicheng is also dreaming at this time, thinking about what he will do if this capital goes down without a fight?

Is it to ascend the throne again in the capital to show orthodoxy? Or let Chongzhen directly Zen? He didn't think about what he could do if he was a person with no descendants, and won the throne?

Now Li Zicheng is a queen, of course, at present, the most promising person to succeed him on the throne is his nephew Li Guo, of course, this is not absolute, after all, all dynasties, counting the dynasties of the Taiping period, only half of the princes successfully succeeded to the throne, let alone nephews.

Li Zicheng is also like those people who have no descendants, such as Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, who once had a righteous son Liu Feng, who was also trained as a prince at the beginning, but Emperor Zhaolie later had a biological son, Liu Feng gave birth to a mind that should not have it, which led to his own tragic ending, which also led to the defeat and killing of the Marquis of Shouting, and the responsibility for the loss of Jingzhou can basically be said to have completely shattered the hope of Shu Han to recover the Central Plains, and finally cut himself!

Li Zicheng also has a few righteous sons, he doesn't say anything now, so as to save the tragedy of Emperor Zhaolie, after all, the great cause has not been accomplished, not to mention that after becoming an emperor, he has the world, maybe he can dry wood in spring.

However, despite this, the position of the heir is vacant there, and those with hot eyes are watching it tightly, delusional about it.

Li Shuangxi, whose real name is Zhang Nai, was originally Li Zicheng's general, and it was Li Zicheng who was promoted from the children's soldiers, adopted as an adopted son, and changed his name to Li Shuangxi; has made many military exploits, and among the adopted sons, he is currently the most optimistic and the only one who is qualified to compete with Li Guo.

At this time, Li Shuangxi rode a tall war horse, led hundreds of soldiers, and pressed the two embarrassed Ming vassal kings, standing in the open space a hundred steps away from Fuchengmen, squinting at the city.

Thinking of breaking the city of Beijing, Li Shuangxi can't say the reverie, Li Zicheng now has no son, his own family has gone through several ups and downs, and has long been exterminated by the officials of the Ming Dynasty, so there is only one nephew Li Guo, who is a few years older than King Chuang, and who will inherit the throne after a hundred years of King Chuang, it is still not decided.

If Li Guo died before King Chuang, then compared with Li Guo's son, his Royal Highness, Yi'ergan, may also have the possibility of ascending the throne, after all, he also has someone to support, of course, all this must be based on the premise that Li Zicheng has no parents!

"Brothers below."

Li Shuangxi was thinking about how to become Emperor Taizong in the future, when half of the armor suddenly leaned out from behind the battlement of the arrow tower of Fuchengmen, and he was still shouting loudly: "This official is Zhu Chunchen, the chief of the Beijing camp, Dugong has already entered the palace to meet the saint, Zhao'an is no problem, then there is no need to fight, everyone will soon be able to be ministers in the same hall, His Royal Highness invited Qin and Jin Erfan to come forward to speak." ”

Hearing this, Li Shuangxi felt relieved, this means that the capital will be successfully taken, and if the capital is taken, the remaining corners of the Ming Dynasty will not be a problem, and for the Dashun Dynasty, it has also obtained the core of the foundation, and after cleaning up the world, it will be hundreds of years of inexhaustible glory and wealth!

At this time, he was in a good mood, so he waved his hand and said to the left and right: "Let the King of Qin and King Jin of the Ming Dynasty go up and listen, but look at it, you can only go to the moat, remember that you don't wait for the other side to speak, what to say, it's not the first time." ”

"No!"

His subordinates took the order to go, it is best to be close, so as to save their voices, after all, it is not just a matter of shouting one or two sentences, but dozens or hundreds of sentences!

This is also very effective, for example, the fortified cities and dangerous passes that Chongzhen relied on were basically shouted like this, and then they were lowered, which also made the great homeopathy like a broken bamboo, and directly attacked the Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Li Zicheng and his advisers did not expect it to be so smooth, and they originally wanted to fight a few tough battles in Shanxi, and then after a year of recuperation, they would come back to use the Daming Jingshi as bait to besiege the city and send reinforcements!

Then gradually subdued the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, but no one expected it to be so smooth, so naturally they would not let go of this opportunity, after all, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was laid, which basically symbolized that the Ming Dynasty would retire from the position of the lord of the world, and at most it would be a side of peace in the future!

Didn't have the intention of attacking the city, at this time, according to the original plan to attack the city, the first plan to attack the heart, Li Shuangxi at this time brought all the veterans who shouted the city, and they were already eager to try, and when they heard his order, they responded violently, and then rode forward.

Just when the Dashun cavalry who were about to shout the city approached the moat and lined up, stopped their horses, and were about to stretch their throats, but before they could shout to the city, at this time, a man in iron armor suddenly leaned out half of his body, carrying a ball of unknown things in his hands, and yelled at them: "The traitor Du Xun has been ambushed!" I, the Ming soldiers, swear to defend the Ming Dynasty to the death! Wansheng! ”

"Wan Sheng!"

At this time, there was a sudden burst of shouts in unison in the city, the sound shook the sky, and Li Chuang's soldiers had just shouted one or two words, how could it compare to the roar of tens of thousands of people together?

What the? What's going on? Du Xun has already been killed?

Li Shuangxi couldn't believe his ears a little, wasn't this good just now? But before he could react, a new change happened.

Suddenly numerous birds protruded from the battlements of the city wall; Bird gun, also known as bird beak gun, is the name of the arquebus in this era, introduced into the country in Jiajing, compared with the original tube body firearm, it has a door, a star, a gun support, and a gun machine, and it can be held with both hands at the same time and fired.

The bird is mainly named because it can shoot down the bird, and it has been mentioned in Fan Jingwen's "Shi Law": "The back hand does not need to abandon the ignition, then it does not shake, so there are eight or nine out of ten shots, that is, the birds can be shot down in the forest, because it is named." It is also known as the bird's beak gun, because its ignition structure is like a bird's beak pecking water when ignition.

Compared with the hand-held firearms used in the early Ming Dynasty, the bird's guns have a longer body tube, a smaller caliber, and a round lead bullet of the same caliber is fired, with a longer range and stronger penetration. The front sight and the door are added, the ignition of the hand is the firing of the bolt, the handle of the gun is changed from the straight wooden handle inserted in the tail of the fire gun to the curved wooden support that holds the barrel, and when holding the gun to shoot, it is changed from the back grip of both hands to the front of the gun body, and the handle of the gun is held in the back of one hand, which can be used stably to hold the gun for aiming, and the shooting accuracy is higher, and its basic structure and shape are close to the rifles of later generations, and it is the prototype weapon of the rifle.

When used, through the pre-ignited fire rope and pulling the bolt, the fire rope is driven to ignite the compacted gunpowder in the powder pool, and the lead projectile in the barrel is shot out with the explosive force of gunpowder gas, killing and injuring the enemy, which is one of the main light firearms equipment in this period.

After seeing the bird guns, Li Shuangxi was shocked and wanted to order a retreat, but it was too late, and countless bird guns roared almost at the same time!

This is not an inferior firearm made by the Daming Firearms Bureau in the past, but a new firearm that Yang Yi has recycled in the past few days and asked the craftsmen to refurbish it one by one, stipulating the standards, and only those who are qualified can leave the factory.

After unifying the craftsmen's weights and measures, and rewarding them greatly, now Yang Yi has a lot of money, and after stipulating the quantity and quality, it only took two days to renovate more than 1,000 birds, of course, this is also because it is just a renovation, if it is new, it will be good to produce a hundred in these two days!

It is estimated that there will be two or three thousand wards that will be renovated in the next few days, and the rest will need to be built every day, which is basically enough!

A salvo of thousands of bird guns knocked over those high-voiced elite soldiers of Li Chuangjun, and according to the current medical conditions, they were hit by firearms, and they were basically certain to die!

Even many people can even be spared from rescue, and those who escaped by luck are also those who are agile and clever, and they immediately start to hide when they see that something is wrong, as for whether to use war horses or comrades, it depends on which is convenient.

"Withdraw!" Li Shuangxi turned his horse and left at this time, the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and his current status was not the time when he was needed to enter the battle formation in person, but as soon as his shout fell, something more terrible happened.

Behind him, there were a few thunderous roars in the city!

It's a cannon! The firearms of the Ming Dynasty are still used a lot, especially the cannon, which is a sharp weapon for siege of the city, Li Chuang's army has captured the city before, but in the face of artillery fire, it was quickly re-defeated!

The threshold for making artillery is very high in this era, and Li Zicheng's subordinates do not have this kind of talent, so it is still difficult for him to fight Jiancheng, and the few cannons that have been captured have no supply of gunpowder, which is actually useless, and as for the captured gunpowder, they will not save it at all, and even caused several accidents and killed several battalion soldiers.

Therefore, in terms of firearms, Li Chuangjun is still quite afraid.

Several cannons at the head of the city opened fire at the same time; This is also a new supervision of the Firearms Bureau, of course, it is also a renovation, after all, it takes longer to build a cannon, it requires more steel, more manpower, and in the defense of the city, the cannon with solid shells at this time is actually not very useful.

Yang Yi didn't put his mind on climbing technology, and the kind of problem faced by this plane is not worth spending too much thought, Yang Yi is mainly here to experience and get back the feeling of Jin Ge Iron Horse back then.

Li Chuangjun heard such an angry roar, in fact, when the Ming army at the head of the city roared out of "Wansheng", Li Zicheng walked out of the imperial tent with people, looked at the city, and then saw a few small black dots at a very fast speed, and then fell suddenly in front of the yellow imperial tent, and then suddenly bounced up, swept forward, seemed to hit the imperial tent, swept the imperial tent down, and a few shells passed through the imperial camp next to Li Zicheng's imperial tent, and overturned more than a dozen people at once!

"Wan Sheng!"

The roar of the Ming soldiers on the city wall was still endless, and the cannon rumbled in, Li Zicheng was thrown to the ground at this time, and the loyal soldiers used their bodies as a barrier!

"It's a pity!" At this time, Yang Yi directly saw the chaos at Li Zicheng's yellow felt tent through the naked eye, and then he also saw a large group of people running towards the back with a guy in a red cloak.

Needless to say, this red cloak that had just gotten up from the ground must have been Li Zicheng, and looking at his appearance of running fast at this time, he knew that there was no big problem.

Yang Yi said "It's a pity", but his face was calm, this cannon and this gun were all the original weapons of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yi didn't make any effort, and naturally he didn't expect a good result.

Whether Li Zicheng dies or not, it depends on the will of heaven at this point, and now, God is still inclined to Li Zicheng, for Yang Yi, this is also a good thing, it will not be Li Chuangjun's early defeat, then she will fall into an internal struggle.

Before the complete integration, the prestige was not completely subdued in front of the capital, and it was a good thing that there was a powerful enemy oppressing from the outside!

Li Shuangxi was trying to escape with his life at this time, the range of the bird gun was limited at this time, and he himself was far away because of caution, and the target of the first batch of artillery shots was Li Zicheng, so the main thing was to avoid the attack of the second batch of artillery fire!

Glancing behind him, almost all of the loud voice battalion soldiers who led out were reimbursed, you know, this big voice is not easy to find, basically a suitable one can only be selected among dozens of people.

However, Li Shuangxi soon couldn't care about being distressed, because he heard those cannons firing again, and the solid bullets rolled and smashed down, and it didn't matter about the target at this time, Li Chuang's army under the city was very dense, scattered to fight, and there were a lot of results!

Of course, the two vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were also killed early, and it is impossible to tell who was killed, and there is no ballistic test at this time, in fact, it doesn't matter, Yang Yi doesn't care about the life or death of these two Ming vassal kings!

This time can be regarded as a real victory, killing at least hundreds of Li Chuangjun, naturally on the city wall, Yang Yi also began to reward a lot, whether it is a musketeer or a gunner, all have a share, now Yang Yi has a lot of money, and he can't spend it!

And Li Zicheng was standing in a vacated mansion behind him at this time, but he was so angry that his left eye socket, which had lost his eyeball, also felt a faint pain.

His left eye was shot blind when he opened the lockdown, although it has been a long time and the wound has completely healed, but sometimes there will be a sudden sharp pain like a cone bayonet cut, and every time there is a sharp pain in his left eye, he will think of the bloody battle of three open seals!

And will this Beijing city be more difficult to fight than Kaifeng City?

Thinking of this question, Li Zicheng fell silent all of a sudden, at this time he felt reckless, he shouldn't have come to fight the capital at this time, after all, this is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it really has a bit of background.

It's just that the successive victories in these days have washed his mind away, even with Dashun Wenwu, but he didn't expect to suffer two defeats, the previous time it can still be said that Li Guo was proud of the soldiers, but this time, he can't shirk it, what a bad idea, at this time, Li Chuang's other people also saw the opportunity, although they failed, but the internal will not be unified outward.

"Your Majesty, today's losses of our army are insignificant," Dashun's prime minister Niu Jinxing saw the opportunity at this time, and stepped forward to gently persuade him, "And the soldiers of each battalion are all excited by the cunning of the Zhu thief, everyone thinks about war, and the military spirit is available!" ”

Gu Junen is certainly smart, but he is not very wise, maybe he has not been trained, after all, even Zhuge Wuhou also has the defeat of the Street Pavilion, if this battle is really as smooth as his strategy, Niu Jinxing will naturally retreat, but at this time, he will come out to pick a thorn.
