Chapter 1055: The Battle of Baghdad (3)

"How many shells do the Ming army still have, are all their shells falling from the sky!" After two days and two nights of bombardment, even Dolgon was numb, you know, the Ming army had more than 2,000 cannons bombarding, the strong city walls were bombed like that, the entire city of Baghdad was in ruins, there was not a single intact building, but the Ming army still did not stop bombarding.

The city of Baghdad was heavily bombarded by the Ming army for two days and two nights, and for his own safety, Dorgon had already moved from the city to the rear.

At this moment, Dolgon's heart was full of depression, even if the Qing soldiers who were defending in the rear and were not directly bombed in the city, seeing the Ming army constantly bombarding the city of Baghdad with such a large scale, turning the city of Baghdad into ruins and still bombarding, their will was also greatly hit, their morale was low, and they were full of fear.

It has to be said that the Ming army has not yet allowed the infantry to start a full-scale attack, and the continuous fierce bombardment in the past two days and two nights alone has already weakened the will of more than one million Qing troops to strike, and the army's morale is unstable and on the verge of collapse.

It is conceivable that as long as the Ming infantry began a large-scale attack, not to mention the Qing soldiers who had been bombed in the city for two days and two nights, even the millions of Qing troops on the left, right and rear sides of Baghdad who had not been bombed would have little morale to resist just by looking at the tragic situation in Baghdad.

Dolgon, who was not stupid, obviously saw this, and seemed worried, and his heart was even more faintly powerless and hopeless.

Now he knows that the strength of the Ming army is far beyond his thoughts, even if the Qing Dynasty obtains new gunpowder and primer technology, and successfully imitates rifles and new cannons, even if it has two million soldiers, it is still too difficult and difficult to resist the Ming Dynasty's large-scale attack and keep the Qing Dynasty alive!

In fact, what Dolgon and the Qing soldiers didn't know was that the artillery shells consumed by the Ming Dynasty in Baghdad City were only the inventory of the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years, and the Ming Dynasty just regarded Baghdad City as a dumping place for old shells, so they didn't want to smash Baghdad City like money, even if Baghdad City had already been bombed into ruins, the Qing soldiers inside had already been blown up to the point of collapse and did not stop.

Since the Ming Dynasty Zhongxing 27 years after the capture of the Americas 6, the Ming Dynasty has not fought for more than nine years, the inventory of shells can be called a massive, even if more than 2,000 cannons on the city of Baghdad for two days and two nights of uninterrupted bombardment, did not use up half of the inventory, more shells are still in a steady stream from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know if the Manchu Qing can support the Ming Dynasty to consume the old shells in stock.

Depending on the situation, I'm afraid it's unlikely.

In any case, with such a fierce bombardment, Da Ming himself did not feel any pressure, but just pressed Dolgon and the Qing army out of breath.

"Huh?" At this time, the cannon fire of the city of Baghdad suddenly gathered densely in one direction, it was the ——- city wall!

"Damn, the Ming army is about to enter the city of Baghdad!" Dorgon was startled and gritted his teeth.

"Boom, boom----, boom" Sure enough, the walls of Baghdad, the Ming army suddenly stopped bombarding any part of the city, but concentrated all its artillery fire on the bombardment of the walls of Baghdad.

The flames enveloped the entire ruined wall, and each shell that exploded brought up a large number of fragments of masonry.

Originally, after two days and two nights, even if the walls of Baghdad were higher and thicker, and a lot of cement was added, they could not withstand it, and some of them collapsed, but now they were suddenly bombarded by more than 2,000 cannons of the Ming army, and in an instant, the remaining walls of Baghdad collapsed almost instantly.

The collapsed masonry smashed into the moat, filling many sections of the moat directly.

After the city wall was destroyed, the Ming artillery fire continued to extend into the city of Baghdad for another round of shelling, and then the artillery fire stopped abruptly.

"Attack!" Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers began to rush towards the city of Baghdad with rifles and light machine guns, preparing to clear the Qing army in the city and capture the city of Baghdad. Mortars and heavy machine guns followed, and they also joined the Qing army in the liquidation of the city of Baghdad.

The city is already a waste, but there are still more than 100,000 Qing troops, but most of these Qing troops are cold weapons Qing troops sent into the city by Dorgon to serve as cannon fodder.

Encountering little resistance, the Ming army advanced extremely quickly into the depths of the city.

When the Ming army occupied half of Baghdad, a large number of elite Qing troops with rifles rushed out to meet the Ming army, which was the Qing army sent into the city to support immediately after the artillery in the city stopped.

As the Ming army began to send infantry into the city of Baghdad, and the Qing army continued to enter the city from the rear to support, the two sides launched a fierce battle around the city, and the Battle of Baghdad gradually entered the most intense level.

After two days and two nights of bombardment by more than 2,000 artillery pieces of the Ming army, the buildings in the city were almost completely destroyed, and the entire city was filled with the smell of blood.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "More than a dozen mortars fired in a curved manner, directly blowing up a group of hundreds of Qing rifle troops.

Light and heavy machine guns and rifles fired intensively, and the Qing rifle army was immediately defeated with heavy casualties and collapsed.

"Papapa---" Qing soldiers also used their rifles to shoot at the attacking Ming army.

"Poof! Poof--- "Some hapless Ming soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.

Even if the Qing army's rifle team is far behind the Ming army in terms of weapon configuration, but with the range of the rifle in hand, it can also kill and injure some Ming troops, but those who are sent into the city with cold weapons Qing army is miserable, in the face of the Ming army, they are purely just to attract bullets, cannon fodder that consumes the ammunition of the Ming army, except for this, they can't wield anything.

Although the Qing army's rifle army was able to kill and wound some Ming soldiers, the ratio of their losses to the Ming army reached more than ten to one, and if this continued, I am afraid that more than 400,000 Qing army rifle troops would be exhausted, and they would not be able to kill or injure 30,000 Ming troops.

In the end, the Qing soldiers not only lagged far behind the Ming army in terms of weapon configuration, but also lagged far behind the Ming army in morale and will.

As more and more Ming troops entered the city of Baghdad, Dolgon also continued to send more Qing rifle troops and cold weapon troops into the city, and the competition between the two sides around the city slowly reached a white-hot level.

There is no doubt that the number of Qing troops may be more, but the comprehensive strength of the Ming army is more than several times that of the Qing army, and the Qing army has been defeated and retreated, and this momentum cannot be changed, no matter how many Qing troops Dolgon sent into the city to support.

Dolgon was furious and roaring, slaying one Qing general after another who feared defeat and retreated, and he was the majority of the generals under the Indian flag.

It's just a pity that nothing can be changed.

and ordered the killing of a general of the Indian Flag Rifle Corps who had been defeated on the front line, and Dolgon himself was already numb and gradually felt powerless.

Gritting his teeth, Dolgon looked to the southeast, which is the direction of the Qing Dynasty Indian Province, there are more than 30 million Indian population, because the way to India has long been blocked by the Ming army, Dolgon no longer knows the situation in India, but there is a backhand he arranged, one of his right-hand men Jihar is in charge of India, can be used when he is in a decisive battle with the Ming army, originally he had certain expectations for this backhand, but with the strength of the Ming army again and again beyond his expectations, He wasn't sure if he could swing it.

"At the very least, it should be able to do something!" Dorgon prayed secretly.

Anyway, now he has no choice, just hoping that there will be something that can affect the situation of the battle, otherwise the Qing Dynasty will really be over!
