Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 100 The Cavalry Dismounted (Subscribe)

Time passed slowly, and outside Funing City, the Manchu Qing army kept cutting down trees to make siege tools.

Looking at the Manchu Qing camp, which was only eight or nine miles away, Guo Xing and the other soldiers felt like they were about to use the big general's cannon to kill them right now.

It's a pity that all of them were suppressed by Xu Da. After all, the maximum accuracy can only be maintained within a range of five miles. Even if it is a little worse, Xu Da doesn't want to take risks. The most important thing is that once the maximum damage cannot be caused, the opposite side will withdraw the camp from the general The attack range of the cannon will instead affect Xu Da's next arrangement.

On the contrary, Xu Da's mind was agitated again, the last time he planned to use the big general's cannon to deal with the Chuangjun.

Wait for the opponent's infantry to prepare their siege weapons first. When the infantry is ready to attack the city, once the infantry launches a siege, the cavalry will definitely come out of the camp to march behind the infantry. At that time, it is the time for the general's cannon to fire.

"Wu Sangui, are you sure?" Dorgon asked Wu Sangui again.

"My lord, I assure you with my head that the cannons on the city wall are all shoddy things. After all, Funing City was also my territory before. How could I not know? I dragged all the good cannons to Shanhaiguan. How good of a cannon Ning Cheng can be."

"Don't worry, my lord, the best artillery of Ming Dynasty is in Shanhaiguan, and our army is seven miles away from the city wall. There is absolutely no artillery that can fight that far. Even if it is five miles away, Ming's artillery can't hit it. Please don't worry, my lord."

Wu Sangui's chest thumped loudly. Anyway, Funing City was also garrisoned by his people before. He knew the situation in Funing City quite well, so the cannons were barely fired, so don't think about anything else.

"Well, King Wu Sangui trusts you again, and you will organize the siege later. Dismount 2 cavalrymen under your command, and cooperate with the Han Banner cavalry to dismount and attack the city together." Dorgon finally decided to trust Wu Sangui once, The premise of believing in Wu Sangui is that Wu Sangui leads troops to attack the city this time.

It is also necessary to deploy 2 people from the Guanning Iron Cavalry to dismount and attack the city. The subtext is that whenever there is a siege battle in the future, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will dismount and turn into infantry to attack the city.

Dorgon is not afraid of Wu Sangui's troubles. Wu Sangui who lost Shanhaiguan can be valued by Dorgon only the Guanning cavalry in his hands.

Dorgon had already thought about this siege battle, and sent Duoduo to lead the Eight Banners cavalry behind the infantry. If Wu Sangui dared to retreat, he would kill Wu Sangui, and the Mongolian cavalry would keep an eye on Wu Sangui's remaining [-] Guanning cavalry.

Wu Sangui was not in the cavalry camp, and Dorgon wasn't afraid that the last [-] Guanning cavalry would make trouble.

This time Dorgon arranged to lead troops to attack the city at the forefront. Wu Sangui was also full of anger at this time. He was angry with Daming and complained about Dorgon, but he didn't dare to show it to Dorgon, so he could only express his resentment. Sprinkle it on Daming.

Wu Sangui swore in his heart that he must kill the general who occupied Funing City. Everything was fine, but because of the loss of Funing City, his weight in Dorgon's heart dropped by at least half.

In addition, Wu Sangui had just joined his new master and had to show some performance, so he took Guan Ning, who had dismounted [-], to the front without hesitation.

As for the remaining [-] Guanning iron cavalry, Wu Sangui also gave it to his confidant, and told him that once Dorgon changed, he would directly lead the army to break through and meet him. clear.

Fortunately, Dorgon did not directly order Wu Sangui's [-] dismounted soldiers to lead the charge, and Wu Sangui was in charge of commanding the siege.

There are still more than 2 Han flags to command. Wu Sangui naturally arranges the first sequence of Han flags. Guan Ning cavalry is behind the Han flags, of course not completely behind. Anyway, if there is death in the attack, it must be the Han flags that die first. It will be the turn of Guan Ning's iron cavalry to dismount.

Of course, Dorgon arranged for Wu Sangui to command the siege with calculations in mind. Dorgon was going to directly eat the remaining cavalry in Wu Sangui's hands. After all, if the tens of thousands of cavalry were really taken over by Dorgon, his power in the Qing Dynasty would only be one step closer.

In addition to his own soldiers and horses and Duo Duo's men, Dorgon can say that he will clear the first banner, so that no one in the court will dare to fight against him in the future.

Although Wu Sangui didn't know the specific plan in Dorgon's mind, he also vaguely guessed, so he confessed to his confidants that if there was a drastic change, he would directly lead the army to break through to meet him.

As for where they would go after the breakout, Wu Sangui hadn't figured it out yet. Shanhaiguan could not go back. When Dorgon left, he had arranged for Zhengbaiqi to take over and close all the defenses.

Even if Wu Sangui returned with his troops, he would not be able to take down the closed Shanhaiguan Pass.

Of course, that was the last resort. Wu Sangui still felt that the Qing Dynasty could rule the Central Plains.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had been rotten for so many years, Wu Sangui didn't believe that the Ming Dynasty could be rejuvenated overnight. As for the combat power of the Ming army, Wu Sangui didn't care much about it.

In Wu Sangui's view, Daming's ability to eliminate Li Zicheng was unexpected, and it was even blessed by Daming's ancestors.

Even if Daming occupied Funing City now, Wu Sangui didn't take Daming's army seriously. Regarding the urgency of Daming's officers and soldiers, Wu Sangui believed that once someone attacked the city wall, the Ming soldiers would be defeated or even surrendered on the spot.

Breaking the city is nothing more than a matter of course.

Why stay outside the city for two days can only be blamed. The Manchu Qing did not have siege equipment. Anyway, if you build siege equipment now, it will be useful in the future. After all, Beijing is also a fortified city, so you must use some siege equipment. At that time, it will also need to be built, so it is better to build more now, and save some effort by then.

Due to various reasons before, Wu Sangui did not take the initiative to tell Dorgon about this, but was going to lead troops directly to break through the city and let Dorgon take a look at Wu Sangui's ability.

In this way, Ming Hongwu and Daqing are about to start their first duel

Due to Wu Sangui's arrogance and Dorgon's calculations, the Qing Dynasty did not divide its troops. At this time, all the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty were outside Funing City.

And these days, the spies arranged by Xu Da outside the city did not find out that the Manchu Qing cavalry planned to divide their troops to bypass Funing.

"On the other side, is this going to be a decisive battle as soon as you come up?" Guo Xing was a little confused. He had never seen an army with so much mobile power, so he stayed outside the city so obediently.

There are no divisions, detours, etc. The whole army is building siege tools, and it looks like they are preparing to have a siege battle with them.

'Cavalry attacking the city', at first the general of the Ming Dynasty thought there was some conspiracy on the other side, even Xu Da thought so, spies were sent out wave after wave, but the information returned was nothing Cavalry crossed the border.

The army Xu Da sent troops to guard the main roads was even more feedback, not to mention people, they didn't even see a hair, they were extremely boring guarding the roads.

At first, they thought the enemy was trying to lower their vigilance, but after seeing the cavalry dismounted later, General Da Ming realized that the other side was really planning to send cavalry to attack the city, and they simply did not take their generals seriously.

At the same time, I also feel that the opposite party seems a bit 'stupid', or it can be said to be barbaric and unthinking.Even too underestimated people.

For two days, he sent spies out continuously, including scouting the army on the opposite side. Xu Da had to believe that the other side was really planning to send cavalry to attack the city. In this way, Xu Da did not let go of his guard, but instead ordered the Ming soldiers stationed outside the main road. , Don't leave easily, no matter what happens, don't let a cavalry or a soldier pass.

As for the cavalry under the city attacking the city, Xu Da could only say "hehe", not to mention that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty dared to fight and fight hard, but the general cannons, flintlock guns, and grenades in Daming's hands were all vegetarians.

Is it that easy for cavalry to attack a city?
This is the shortcoming of individual arms. Although the cavalry of the whole army is indeed more mobile, once they encounter a strong city, they will have to pay a greater price to win the city.

Historically, if it weren't for the existence of the capitulation faction, and Li Zicheng had basically wiped out most of Ming's military power, the Manchu Qing would not have easily occupied the world so easily.

After the capitulation faction surrendered, their fighting strength almost doubled. If these officers of the Ming Dynasty had such fighting strength when Li Zicheng rebelled, how could it be possible for Li Zicheng to easily end the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this result is inseparable from the Zhu family and the corrupt officials and traitors of Ming Dynasty. The emperor is responsible, the corrupt officials are responsible, and even God has something to do with it. Little Ice Age, what a fuss!
If the destiny is not there, how can manpower change the general situation? Even if Chongzhen really has the ability to defy the sky, there is still a group of corrupt officials behind who are holding back, and they want to see the end of Ming Dynasty. That's all.
