Chapter 290 Life

Of course, Haoge didn't know that the number of artillery in Qiantun Guard was not the only dozens of guns he was watching from the distant mountains.

The Qiantun Guard Guard has two generals, with a total of 6,000 people. Each general is equipped with a gun battalion with 100 cannons. A small Qiantun Guard has a heavy firepower configuration of 200.

The front wall was only five zhang wide, and there were indeed only more than ten cannons at the top of the city. However, in the past few months after Ying Yi's army entered, the defense structure of Qiantunwei was rebuilt. Within three zhang behind the city wall, it was raised on the basis of the original building and converted into a gun tower.

It was not what Wu Sangui thought of, but in Wu Sangui's old concept, the firing frequency of the cannons was not so fast. After one round of fire, a cannon made of steel and copper must have a cooling gap, but gold-yuan alloy casting cannons are not required.

The gunner who operates the gun cleans the barrel and fills the cannon and gunpowder as fast as the fire frequency of the cannon is.

As for the range of the tiger squat cannon, there is no need to say.

In essence, the Tartars failed to know themselves and their enemies, that's all. If Haoge knew the firepower configuration of Ying Yi's army and the range and power of the artillery, he would definitely not dare to attack the city so easily.

Now that the drum has not even started to beating, his heavy firepower will be destroyed, and the generals will be killed or injured. It is conceivable that this will strike the Tartar army.

When he came happily, he felt a boring stick, which made Haoge's forehead hurt.

Only three rounds of artillery fired at the top of the city and stopped. The Tatar army was in chaos for a while, retreated for a few miles, and then reorganized.

Haoge quickly caused statistics to cause damage, and the report came, which made him furious.

The loss of the artillery array was one of them. More than 30 cannons were unable to pull back one in panic. The most important thing was the casualties and injuries of the generals watching the battle in front of the formation. Those who could accompany Haoge to watch the battle in front of the formation were all famous generals of Zhenglan Banner, all of whom were backbone, but in a short while, three of Gushan Ezhen died. As for Niu Lu Ezhen, seven or eight died, and ten were still injured.

Haoge's heart was bleeding and he was furious.

"Siege the city! Siege the city for me! I will not keep the chickens and dogs, but I will ask them not keep the chickens and dogs!"

The siege has begun.

No one dared to persuade Haoge, who was irritated at this time, even though he knew the consequences of losing firepower to suppress it.

The coat slave came in handy.

The first batch of five hundred coats rushed towards Qiantun Guards on the hillside and entered within two miles. The cannon sounded again. Only one round of cannon attacks were fired, and the Tartars were allowed to charge. It was not until they entered within two hundred steps that the muskets on the city were fired.

Five hundred people, one round of cannons is enough. If there are too many, it is a waste. It is better to wait for them to enter within 200 steps and use a musket to give them color.

The fire guns in Ying Yi's army are of the same size as three-eyed guns. Based on the original three-eyed gun manufacturing technology, they are transformed with gold-yuan alloy, and the iron armor can be broken within 200 steps. Three bullets can be fired at one time.

The width of the city wall is limited, and it can only accommodate two rows of gunmen. It can be said to be two-stage shooting. Compared with the array in the field, the firepower is not dense enough. However, the enemy has only more than 400 people, so it is simple to fight.

With each gun fire, the Tartars's coat fell down. The closer they were to the city wall, the more they fell down. After half of the coat lost, he could no longer hold on and suddenly howled and collapsed.

But in the end, there were only a few dozen people who escaped. They came with guns and went with guns, leaving only a corpse, and blood dyed the earth red.

After these dozens of people fled back, they were dragged to the front of the formation by the Tartars, and all their heads were cut off due to crying.

Then the second batch of coatings came up again.

The city wall.

The two generals watched the battle with a stern expression.

"The Tartars have only this ability. I have never understood why the previous dynasty was defeated repeatedly."

A general said this.

Another laughed and said, "The previous dynasty is extremely corrupt. Isn't it natural to defeat the Tartars? Now the military abandonment is far from comparable to the previous dynasty. All the soldiers under their command are fierce. They dare to fight and kill. What is the Ming court? What is the Tartars?"

The new dynasty was in power, with a strong morale, and a strong military force. The strong military force was unparalleled. In history, the strongest military force was all the time before and after the founding of the country. One was the war and the iron morale was melted. The other was the hope of conquering the world, and the whole army was full of confidence and was the best to fight.

"I want to take my brothers out and fight with the Tartars with a clear sword and a spear." At first the general said regretfully: "It's just that we can't break the governor's arrangement, which is a pity."

Another laughed and said, "I have to wait until the main force of the Tartars arrives. Otherwise, what should I do if I eat this Tartar vanguard in one bite and the main force of the Tartars flees? It won't take long to get the news from the left and right. The news from the night is not received. The main force of the Tartars has already begun and will arrive in at most five or seven days. And the king will also arrive at Shanhaiguan. I really want to take a look at the king's power again!"

Both of them laughed.

To be honest, Haoge, the vanguard, was not taken seriously by the generals under Ying Yi. Even though there are many new recruits in the army, the generals' enthusiasm is still the same.

There is no problem with the recruits. The equipment that is armed to the teeth can make up for the lack of war experience to a certain extent. In addition, the structural framework of the new system is built by veterans and veterans. If they are in charge of commanding various organizations, there will be no major problems.

This time, the Tartars attacked with all their might. If it weren't for the heavy damage and even annihilation of all the living forces of the Tartars, Haoge's vanguard would have been voluntarily wiped out by Shanhaiguan as early as Ningyuan.

It is necessary to wait until Dorgon’s main force arrives, and when all the Tartars’ forces gather together, defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and earn the merits in one battle.

Zhu Bingkun issued a death order. Before the main force of the Tartars arrived, the troops were not allowed to take the initiative to send troops to fight. They wanted to show that the enemy was weak and waited quietly.

Qiantun Guards occupied a very important position in this battle. The two 6,000 troops stationed in Qiantun Guards must be nailed here tightly.

It can be foreseen that both Haoge and Dorgon will try every means to remove Qiantunwei and face Shanhaiguan. If the Qiantunwei does not remove Qiantunwei and pull the army under Shanhaiguan, there will be hidden dangers behind it.

Only the Qiantun Guard was nailed to the point of being unable to move, Dorgon had no choice but to send troops to siege Qiantun Guard, and the main force went to Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is the established decisive place. For Ying Yi, there is no problem of failure. The only problem is how to kill more living forces of the Tatars - once the Tatars are defeated, they will definitely flee. Then there must be a force in front to block them.

This is the important task that Qiantun Wei undertakes.
