Chapter 556: Capture of Murkala City (1)

When the envoy of the Persian Empire seemed to be very happy to return to the Persian Empire with what he thought would bring peace to the Persian Empire's borders in the future, not even a day had passed, and Dolgon tore up the so-called peace treaty.

"Hmph, just 200,000 silver coins a year to buy peace?" Dolgon sneered, a silver coin in the Persian Empire is only about one tael of silver, and 200,000 silver coins are only 200,000 taels of silver, how can Dolgon be eye-catching, you know, the price offered by the Ming Dynasty to exchange back 200,000 Manchu people is 100 million taels of silver!

The thought of the 100 million taels of silver, the corners of Dolgon's mouth twitched again, and almost every time he thought of it, he was extremely forbearing.

Originally, he thought that he could get a large amount of gold and silver by plundering the Persian Empire, and it would not take many years to grab enough 100 million taels of silver, but after entering the territory of the Persian Empire many times and plundering it, he knew that the so-called rich and powerful Persian Empire was too big compared to the Ming Dynasty.

However, although it is difficult to get 100 million taels of silver, if Dolgon gives up the 200,000 people who were captured by the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon will not be able to do it, after all, the people around him are only 500,000 people, if they multiply slowly, without more than ten or twenty years, the population of the clansmen will be difficult to recover from the time of the Qing Emperor Taiji period, and if the population of the 200,000 clansmen captured by the Ming Dynasty can be exchanged with the Ming Dynasty, then it will be much easier for the clansmen to restore the number of the Huang Taiji period, so, In any case, Dorgon had to find a way to get enough silver, and the easiest way was to destroy the Persian Empire and take all the wealth of the entire Persian Empire in his hands.

The reason why Dorgon quietly agreed to the peace sue of the Persian Empire was to let the people of the Persian Empire relax their vigilance so as to pave the way for his next move.

"Summon, gather the generals!" A cold glint flashed in Dorgon's eyes.

"Wow!" The guards immediately ran out to give orders.

When all the generals of the Eight Banners and the servants of the three khanates were gathered into the tent, Dorgon opened a map of the Persian Empire that he had gotten out of nowhere.

"The people will listen to the order, prepare everything, and in three days go straight to the city of Bosmurkala and take it! My Qing Dynasty will be based on the city of Murkara and truly rise again! Dolgon pointed to an important town in the northeastern corner of the Persian Empire on the map, and said with a sinister face.

"Wow!" The generals of the Eight Banners listened to the order, their faces were full of excitement, their blood was boiling, and they were eager to start a war immediately, and they seemed to have seen the grand occasion of the Qing Dynasty reproducing the two generations of emperors of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji in the hands of Dolgon.

The servants of the three khanate generals also looked different one by one, but they did not dare to say anything against Dolgon, and immediately went down to prepare.

As soon as the news of the successful return of the Persian Empire's envoy to the Persian Empire with the peace treaty spread, knowing that the peace negotiation with the Manchus was successful, the soldiers and civilians on the border of the Persian Empire were relieved, and just when they thought that the border could return to tranquility and relaxed their vigilance, what they did not know was that a greater danger was about to come to them with the Manchus once again rearming their arms.

Three days later, on the night of March 10, Dolgon left only 5,000 Manchurian Eight Banners and 13,000 servant troops to guard the steppe, while he personally led 35,000 Manchurian Eight Banners and 65,000 servant troops, a total of 100,000 iron cavalry, to cross the Persian border and attack the northeastern city of Murkara of the Persian Empire with lightning speed!

Located more than 100 miles away from the border of the Persian Empire, the city of Murkala is an important town in the northeast of Persia, and it is also the fourth largest city in the Persian Empire, with a population of 200,000 people, and its geographical location is extremely important.

Dolgon's iron cavalry was very fast, and he killed all the Persians he encountered along the way, so the news that the Manchus had broken through the pass again had not yet been able to spread, and the Manchus had already approached the city of Murkara.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and if the defenders of Murkara City had not discovered it in time and closed the city gate in time, the Manchurian Iron Cavalry would probably have directly entered Murkala City.

"Dangdang Dang"

The city of Murkala was constantly sounding the alarm bell when the enemy was attacking, and a large number of Persian defenders of Murkala rushed up the walls from the city, and most of them were archers and spearmen, one by one bending their bows and arrows or preparing to throw their spears.

Although he was not able to storm Murcara directly, Dorgon was not worried about not being able to take Murcara City.

"Lord Regent, the city of Murkara is ready, are we really going to storm it?" A general of the servant army belonging to the Far Braha Khanate looked at the large number of Persian defenders who were ready to attack at any time, and asked Dolgon with some concern.

Bukhara used to be directly bordered by the Persian Empire, and Bukhara did not rush into the Persian Empire to loot before it was conquered by the Manchus, but they generally bypassed large cities, after all, as nomadic cavalry, it was difficult for them to break through a large city without professional siege equipment.

Although there were only 10,000 Persian defenders in the city of Murkara, most of them were archers, and with the thirty garrison cannons on his head, it was difficult to get close to the city walls, let alone capture the city. The general of the Braha servant army was also worried that Dorgon did not know the situation, and boldly ordered them to charge and kill, and they were likely to suffer heavy casualties in the face of the rain of arrows of the Persian defenders on the city walls.

"The king of this city has already taken a fancy to it, so it will be broken!" Dolgon's eyes were deep, his tone was domineering, and there was a touch of unfathomable confidence on his face, which made people involuntarily convinced.

The general of the Braha Servant Army was about to say something, but he couldn't help but shut up when he saw Dorgon's confidence.

In fact, of course, Dorgon knew the situation of the city of Murkalla, and he had led iron cavalry into the territory of the Persian Empire many times in the past few months, in addition to plundering resources such as goods, he also intended to explore the terrain and conditions in various parts of the Persian Empire.

It is true that Murkara City is a big city, but there are too many so-called big cities in Daming, and the cities of Daming are built stronger than those of Persia, but they are full of people who have not broken many cities of Daming, and some have experience in attacking cities, besides, Murkara City does not even have a moat, which makes it a lot more convenient for them to wait for the attack.

As for the thirty cannons on the head of the city of Murkala, it is not that Dorgon has no vision, the Persian artillery technology is more than a step worse than the technology before the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, that is, some larger scattered bombs, he still doesn't care about it.

"Cannon ready!" Dolgon's face sank, and he ordered.

Dolgon's expedition to Murkara City this time came with a 100% certainty of breaking the city, but not only brought 100,000 iron cavalry, but also brought the killer weapon in his hand, 27 imitation Daming Shenwu field cannons!

Although this imitation of the Shenwu field cannon is not as powerful as the original version of the Ming Dynasty, it is also much stronger than the original siege weapon red-coated cannon, and it is taken by surprise when the Persians have not seen it, and there is absolutely no problem in breaking through the city of Murkara.
