Zhu Chunchen conscientiously took his subordinates to count the materials in the city and arrange the city defense, although he couldn't fight, but it was also useful, after all, he was afraid of death, for fear that Yang Yi would pull him to behead, so Yang Yi's performance these days made Yang Yi still very satisfied.

Next, you need to think about something else, Li Zicheng is no longer in trouble, and even after waiting for Wang Dou and other generals to rest for a few days, he can directly fight with the main force of Li Chuang's army outside the city!

It is only after occupying the capital division of the Ming Dynasty that there is a trace of justification; And now, it is unknown whether he can defeat the Jingshi, even if he retreats, I am afraid it will be difficult, so Li Zicheng has to wait, he even only has a day to wait!

"How do you use this thing?"

There are not many cannons in his army now, and there are huge cannons in the city defense of Datong Town, but this kind of city defense artillery is not easy to move, and the rest of the small cannons can not be moved.

Basically, there are thousands of musket battalions in the nine border towns, and this is also the key to Yang Yi's city defense a few days ago, although Yang Yi did not do a lot of things about scientific and technological improvement, because there is not much she can do, iron-making and steel-making are not possible in a short period of time, and it is only a preparation of the ordnance supervision in the city, and on the basis of the existing one, the standard formulation has been made.

The advantage of smokeless gunpowder is that there is no residue after combustion, no smoke occurs or only a small amount of smoke occurs; The use of smokeless gunpowder can be seen to increase the range of the projectile, improve the ballistic straightness and shooting accuracy.

"Quick, show your majesty!"

A soldier of the same kind was busy pulling out a small bamboo tube from his waist at this time, pulling out the plug and carefully pouring the gunpowder in the bamboo tube into the barrel, then took out a lead pellet from the box on his waist, put it in from the muzzle, and then pulled out the whole strip under the barrel and stretched it in and pestle it hard, opened the fire door cover, and then pulled out another small pot from his waist, poured some gunpowder into the medicine pool of the fire door, shook the gun several times, presumably to let the gunpowder leak down, and then pulled out the fire rope from his waist and clamped it on the broken fire rope clip, took out the fire fold and blew, The fire rope was drawn first, and then the gun was raised and the aim was made.

Li Zicheng frowned at this scene, this is the key to the fall of Beiying? This shouldn't be!

The musket looks troublesome, but the power can not be ignored, especially if it does not consume physical strength, in the era of cold weapons, a big war, the master of the army may not be able to cut three or five people, because cutting people is not just you cut it, the enemy will hide and block, and will run, so the physical strength is consumed quickly, and the physical strength wants to recover, but it is very slow.

"How far can this thing hit? How powerful? To tell the truth, I don't listen to lies. ”

"Your Majesty, it's hard to say, if you can't pierce the armor of thirty zhang, it should be able to hurt people, but if you wear cotton armor, it is less than ten zhang, it is estimated that it can be injured within five zhang of thick points, if you wear iron armor plus inner armor, even if you can penetrate the armor, you can only break a little skin, if you are in front of a shield car, it is almost useless, and this thing is because of the shoddy production of those corrupt officials in the Ministry of Industry, and it is often easy to blow up, according to the end of the future, It's really better to use a hard bow with this, but the hard bow can't be pulled away by ordinary people! ”

Li Zicheng also nodded when he listened, he did have an experience of this, and it was not that he had not fought with the Ming army, many people said that these firearms of the Ming army were tickling, that is, the sound was scary!

This shouldn't be! The firearms of these surrendered troops are also from Datong, Xuanfu, Taiyuan and other important towns, and it is said that they have just been dialed in a short time, so soon there will be new firearms in the city?

"Could this thing be better?"

He can only do these things now, and these are not something he can count on in a short time, after all, he doesn't have much time now, and if he wants this Ming Jingshi, then he can only fight with a real knife and a real gun, in the final analysis, the knife in his hand is the most reliable.

Even yesterday, if there were not more than 10,000 infantry reinforcements, or Li Guo's more than 30,000 people did not run, he rushed to kill with cavalry, and he would have to die of exhaustion when he was killed, before the world changed, a person's ability was at most to deal with a hundred-level battle, and when it reached the thousand-level consumption, the most powerful general could be consumed to death, so the general still had to have an army, not to mention an army that could fight, at least dare to fight.

Needless to say, the armor is mainly cotton armor on both sides, and other armor chain mail is also a common thing, there is no difference in weapons, and even a large part of Li Chuangjun's weapons were captured from the Ming army, and the cold weapons are all the same, nothing more than some swords, spears, bows and arrows, as for the firearms, Li Zicheng is basically equal to nothing, while the Ming army is equipped with a large number of breech cannons and arquebuses as standard, that is to say, the Ming army is better in equipment on both sides.

Li Chuangjun's individual combat effectiveness is indeed higher, but this does not mean that all the Ming troops are weak chickens, at least the Ming army in the important towns of the nine borders and the Beijing camp are not, these people are also well-trained, and the sharpness of cutting off people's heads is not worse than that of Li Chuangjun's old battalion.

And Li Chuangjun's current siege of the city even relies on the same methods hundreds of thousands of years ago, and now it is nothing more than relying on internal shouting and intimidation.

At this time, Li Chuangjun needs to face this problem, whether the capital is still fighting or not, it is already very problematic, especially the battle strategy of encircling Sanque Yi has been a complete failure, not to mention other things now, but also divide troops to rebuild the north camp, this is a problem!

"It takes courage!"

"Enemy attack!"

At this time, Li Zicheng took the clairvoyant mirror handed by his own soldiers and hurriedly looked into the distance, almost thousands of Ming cavalry were coming from the north, obviously from the north side of the city, but looking at only these people, it was impossible for this person to break through his camp, so he could only come to reconnoitre.

At this time, Tian Jianxiu was the only general left in the army, Li Guo was dead, Liu Zongmin's whereabouts were unknown, and Tian Jianxiu, the commander of the camps, was the general.

At this time, the cavalry of these Ming troops were all outside the range of bows and arrows, Tian Jianxiu was thinking about countermeasures, and when he heard Li Zicheng's order, he frowned and followed the herald to Li Zicheng's side, he didn't see it, just after he walked for a while, the cavalry of the Ming army dispersed, revealing about ten small cannons pulled over at this time!

A cannon eroded a radius of several meters, this is not an empty word, without waiting for Li Chuangjun to have any follow-up reaction, those small cannons of the Ming army were put on horses, loaded on wheels, and then pulled away.

There are no cavalry left, the previous thousands of cavalry were buried by Gao Yigong and the first battle, and the remaining hundreds of cavalry have already escorted Niu Jinxing and Li Laiheng away, only relying on the infantry, they don't dare to go out to fight at all!

Tian Jianxiu saw the second half at this time, but he was silent, the casualties caused by these cannons were not large, at most one hundred and ten casualties, but the blow to morale was huge, because his own side no longer had any means of checks and balances!

Tian Jianxiu was very disappointed, at this time, when Li Zicheng was needed to make a decision, Tian Jianxiu only dared to persuade in private the suggestion of withdrawing the army, after all, withdrawing the army at this time would offend many people.

Disappointed!
