Chapter 692: Attack Isfahan on all fronts

Just when General Belis, the commander of the Red Saar Legion, killed himself, and the entire army of the Red Saar Army collapsed and was pursued and killed on a large scale by the Manchurian Eight Banners, the competition between the Qing army such as the East Gate of Isfahan, Dolgon, and the Persian army in the city also underwent a decisive change.

The main force of the Persian banner infantry and servant cavalry, after half an hour of fighting, began to attack the city little by little, and the cut of the city wall that was blown down was already piled up at this time, and a large amount of blood flowed into a pit in some low-lying places, and the bloody breath was extremely permeable.

At this rate, the Qing army could gradually advance into the city, but it would take more time and heavy casualties, and if the losses were too heavy, the Qing army might not gain more than they lost, but Dolgon did not seem to let that happen.

"Newspaper"

"Qiqi Regent, news has come from Aobai and Jihar that the Eight Banners have defeated the 100,000 troops of the Persian Red Sal Legion and are chasing the remnants of the army, please show the regent!" A soldier with a white flag quickly came to Dolgon to report.

"Good! It's time for the Great War in Isfahan to end! Dolgon squinted slightly, as if it would be easy for him to crush the Persian army that was blocking him and enter the city.

"Order, the whole army of the Dragon Breaker Army will be dispatched to defeat the Persian army in front of you!" Dorgon coldly ordered.

The Broken Dragon Army is another trump card in the hands of Dolgon in addition to the Manchu Eight Banners, there are 15,000 people, all of whom are under the age of fifteen, over fifty years old Manchurian men, and a very small number of Manchurian women with white flags, is an imitation of the original Ming Army should be established by the Dragon Army of the all-firearms army, not only under the jurisdiction of all the cannons of the Qing Army, but also a flintlock pistol, familiar with all kinds of Ming Ying Dragon Army's battle formation tactics, it can be said that in addition to the age of the soldiers and other reasons are uneven, the quality of individual soldiers is not as good as that of young men, It seems to be another Ying Long army of the Ming Dynasty.

The first time the Dragon Breaker Army was established was still in the period of confrontation with the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, with a peak strength of 40,000 people, but it was defeated by the Ming army in the decisive battle of Yandang Mountain, and the remaining more than 1,000 remnants of the army and the Manchus moved westward here, and more than two years ago, it was rebuilt with the support of Dolgon.

This is the first major battle after the reconstruction of the Qing army's Dragon Breaking Army.

The 15,000 Qing troops left 1,000 men to continue to operate the 39 cannons, and the remaining 14,000 men, under the orders of Dolgon, formed an orderly attack formation and slowly advanced from the bombed walls of Isfahan to the city.

"Retreat! Get out of the way! "When the first group of Qing troops stepped into the gap, some Manchu generals shouted orders to avoid the Persian infantry and servant cavalry who were engaged in fierce battles with the Persian soldiers in front.

A moment ago, there was still a fierce battle, but in an instant, they all avoided the middle and gave way to a wide road.

The Persian generals were feeling strange, and suddenly in front of them, the soldiers of the Qing Dragon Breaker Army were holding flintlock pistols and slowly pressed from the direction of the gap, and the muzzle of the first row of Dragon Breaker soldiers was pointed forward, killing the Persian army in front.

"No, this is the enemy's musket battalion!" The Persian generals in front of them shouted in fear.

In fact, at the peak of the Persian Empire, a musket battalion of 20,000 people was formed, and the Ottoman Empire was defeated under the leadership of the previous generation of Persian Emperor, but unfortunately it was wiped out in the decisive battle with the Ottoman Empire in Baghdad more than six years ago.

In recent years, the Persian Empire has not thought about re-forming the musket battalion, but unfortunately the formation of the musket battalion requires a lot of money, and in recent years, the Manchus have oppressed, especially two years ago when the Manchus captured Murkara, Sevas and other important towns in the northeast, the empire's original only remaining territory was cut off by nearly a quarter, plus 10 million silver coins to the Manchu indemnity, the Persian Empire can forcibly form an army of more than 400,000 is good, and it is completely impossible to rebuild the musket battalion.

Although there was no musket battalion more than six years ago, it does not mean that the generals of the Persian Empire did not know the power of the musket battalion, and in the face of the intensive attack of the musket battalion, except for the big iron shield, it was completely impossible to stop.

"Boom boom" The artillery of the Qing army is still bombarding the city one after another, and the shells seem to explode in the rear of the Persian army in front of them, the fire is not reflected on their faces, and they are staring at the front A large number of Qing army dragon breaking army with flintlock pistols approaching, some Persian soldiers feel chills.

After a while, finally, the Qing army at the forefront stepped within a hundred meters of the distance, which was completely within the range of the flintlock pistol.

"Fire!" The commander of the Qing Army's Dragon Breaking Army was a Manchu general in his fifties, who was once one of the more than 1,000 surviving remnants of the Dragon Breaking Army, and had followed the first generation commander of the Dragon Breaking Army, Azig, and now he is the commander of the Dragon Breaking Army. The fifty-year-old Manchurian general of the Dragon Breaking Army, Sen Ran, ordered.

"Bang bang bang" The first row of Qing army dragon breaker soldiers hooked the trigger of the flintlock pistol in their hands.

A row of hundreds of bullets swept out, and this row of Qing army dragon breaking army soldiers immediately fired on the spot, and another row of dragon breaking army soldiers behind them quickly stepped forward to become the first row, and continued to shoot at the Persian army in front, just like that, row after row, the Qing army dragon breaking army continued to attack and advance.

The power and range of the flintlock pistol are undoubtedly more powerful than ordinary arquebuses, coupled with the fact that the Dragon Breaker Army imitated the paper shell bullet loading method of the Ming Ying Dragon Army, the loading speed has been greatly increased, and the intensity of the gun is naturally much beyond the cognition of the Persian general.

The Persian army at the forefront fell in pieces, and the defense of the entire army was instantly sunken, and they could not stop the attack of the Qing army's Dragon Breaker Army.

Some Persian soldiers didn't know where to find a lot of wooden shields to resist the lead bullets of the Qing army's dragon-breaking army.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Under the heavy blows of lead bullets, these wooden shields, which were not thick, were pierced like tofu, sawdust flew everywhere, and the Persian soldiers behind were plugged, and their bodies fell to the ground, dead without a glimpse of the eye.

"No," the Persian soldier shouted in fear, and began to retreat.

They were only forcibly recruited in the last year or so, the war was not what they wanted, just now with the Qing army's Persian banner and servant cavalry had made them feel powerless, and now in the face of the Qing army's attack on the dragon army, the heavy casualties could not withstand half a point, and directly crushed their will.

Ground!

Keep losing back! This is the phenomenon of the whole Persian army at this moment.

The Persian army, which had more than 50,000 dead and wounded and less than 160,000 soldiers left, retreated towards the city, and the Qing army took the opportunity to follow up and successfully attacked the city.

"General Abad! Oh no, the enemy army dispatched tens of thousands of musket battalions, tearing open the gap of the army, the army could not stop, and was constantly retreating into the city! Inside the city, the Persian generals ran back in embarrassment to report to General Abad.

"Boom" a few shells that had just entered the city exploded dozens of meters away from there.

The corners of Abad's eyes trembled, and his heart trembled, for fear that when a cannonball hit him, he Abad would not be torn to shreds.

General Abad, who was afraid, but forcibly suppressed the fear and did not show it on his face, suddenly heard that the Qing army had fully attacked the city, and immediately his eyes widened, and his voice shouted loudly with boundless fear: "What, what do you say, the enemy army has dispatched a musket battalion and has entered the city!" ”

Abad, who was already afraid, was even more frightened, and the sound of the roar was a little out of tune, how could the enemy army be so strong, the empire was going to be defeated, was the empire really going to perish, if the empire was gone, what should he General Abad do!

General Abad was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and with fear, a large amount of cold sweat had already flowed down Abad's forehead.

"Quick! Resist the enemy army and beat the enemy army out of the city! At this time, apart from shouting loudly to the Ming army, Abad couldn't think of any way.

The 14,000 dragon-breaking troops of the Qing army were sharp knives, and the remaining more than 20,000 Persian banners and nearly 100,000 servants and cavalry were assisted, and they entered the city with an unstoppable momentum.

With the Qing army in full swing and victory, the Persian Empire was about to enter its final struggle before its demise.
