Chapter 528: The Attack Begins
But judging by the current situation, the arrow has to be launched.
Reinforcements from various state capitals of the Ming Dynasty are constantly rushing to the capital, and Dolgon not only wants to attack Zhu Shun's Zhuangzi, but also take down this Zhuangzi as quickly as possible.
The longer the time drags on, the more detrimental it will be to him, after all, as time goes by, the officers and soldiers of the Ming court will form a situation to encircle this strange army.
Fortunately, Dolgon was well prepared, and in addition to the 5,000 Eight Banners and Cossack cavalry, there was also a firearms battalion led by Kong Yanxun.
City of Industry.
Flat earth.
Dolgon rode on a tall horse and quietly looked at the Zhuangzi of Zhu Shun, and there were two people behind him, namely Kong Yanxun and Turgenev.
Kong Yanxun looked at the majestic industrial city, not full of awe like Turgenev, but like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Kong Yanxun stepped forward, looked at the barbed wire that stretched for several miles, and said disapprenousively: "Prince Qiqirui, the minister has already sent someone to investigate clearly. ”
"Those dense barbed wire fences are only about five miles long, and the sophisticated artillery provided by the Donglin Party to us is much more sophisticated than that used by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Court, and the firing range is six or seven miles away."
"As long as we put the excellent artillery in a position one mile away from the barbed wire fence and bombard Zhu Shun's Zhuangzi, no matter whether he is a Zhuangzi or a city, all of them can be easily taken down."
Dolgon understood what Kong Yanxun meant, Zhu Shun was not even a prince as a small industrial marquis, and he would never dare to hide the artillery privately.
Even the prince of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to hide the armor and artillery privately, this was a capital crime, and no one could save it.
As long as the artillery is placed at the position of six miles and the bombardment is carried out, it is completely possible to blast through a section of the city wall.
Even if you can't smash a section of the city wall, you can cover some of the dismounted Eight Banners soldiers to clean up these barbed wire, as long as these barbed wire fences are cleared out of a road, it will be Zhu Shun's death.
As the most capable Prince Rui of the Great Qing Kingdom, Dolgon understands the current situation very thoroughly, and the soldiers are fast, and only the sooner they take down this Eight Banners under the command of Zhuangzi, the fewer they will die.
Once the reinforcements from the various state capitals of the Ming Court formed a joint encirclement, he still had more than 2,000 Eight Banner disciples left under his command, and it would be good to be able to leave 1,000.
Although more than 1,000 children of the Eight Banners can exchange the lives of at least 20,000 or 30,000 Ming Court officers and soldiers, even if it is to exchange the lives of 50,000 or 60,000 Ming Court officers and soldiers, Dolgon is unwilling.
Where is the life of the people of the Ming Court, the lives of the children of the Eight Banners are valuable.
Dolgon ordered: "Turgenev, you personally lead all the Cossack cavalry to clear the barbed wire. ”
Turgenev's status in the Manchu Qing was equivalent to that of a prince, and he could listen to as many rolls as he wanted, or he could not obey them.
The moment he saw the industrial city, he had already left a deep awe in Turgenev's heart, and he had always taken the lead but this time he refused: "Dear Prince Dolgon, I will never attack what I fear." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's a city or a person."
"The Cossack cavalry can go, and I will send them all over at Prince Dorgon's request, but this man who commands them also asks Prince Dorgon to choose other generals."
Dolgon was not displeased that Turgenev did not obey his orders, and it was because of fear of him that he led a large number of Cossack cavalry to join the Qing Dynasty.
Anyway, it's just to clear some barbed wire like a tripwire, and it's not a battlefield charge, just send a general over.
Kong Yanxun's eyes lit up, this was a good opportunity to snatch credit, and he took the initiative to ask for his life: "Prince Rui, this matter will be handed over to the minister." ”
Dolgon nodded and agreed to Kong Yanxun's request, which was regarded as selling Kong Youde, one of the kings of Sanshun, to save face.
If you can capture Zhu Shun's Zhuangzi, the first merit is to lead the bannermen under his command to be the first to climb the city, and this Zhang Jing's question is Zhang Jing who cleared the barbed wire fence at the front.
Turgenev took the initiative to give up such a great achievement, and Dolgon gave up a favor to Kong Yanxun, who led the way.
Kong Yanxun saw that Prince Rui Dolgon had really given him such a great achievement, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Thank you Prince Rui, my father will definitely not forget Prince Rui's support." ”
Dolgon heard that Kong Youde, one of the Sanshun kings, would not forget him, and there was a smile on his face, after all, the Sanshun kings led by Kong Youde had 60,000 Han and Eight Banners in his hands.
Being able to be remembered by Kong Youde, who has mastered so many Han Eight Banners, how can Dolgon's mood be bad, and it is also the biggest gain of his trip.
Kong Yanxun also knew very well that the reinforcements of the Eight Banners and the Ming Court were rushing for time, and the Eight Banners would take the first step to capture Zhu Shun's Zhuangzi, and they would not die another Eight Banners.
If the reinforcements of the Ming court rushed to the capital first, the Eight Banners would not only not be able to capture this industrial city filled with a large number of steam workshops, but also destroy Zhu Shun's years of hard work, and most of the Eight Banners soldiers would die here.
Kong Yanxun received Dolgon's military order, and no longer hesitated, and immediately led the firearms battalion and Cossack cavalry to rush to the six-mile position in front of Zhu Shun Zhuangzi at the fastest speed.
City of Industry.
On the top of the city.
As early as learning that Dolgon led the Eight Banners of the White Banner to attack the Central Plains again, the Type 08 field gun had been placed at the head of the city, but it was covered with some tarpaulins and could not be seen.
Zhu Shun stood at the head of the city, looking at the Han Eight Banners and Cossack cavalry who were rushing over, and there was still no expression of calm on his face.
I don't know when the crown prince Zhu Cihong, who entered the industrial city, was happy, and the tea in his mouth sprayed Danchen's face.
Man Danchen, who was asking for orders to lead his family out to fight with the Manchu Eight Banners, could only retreat helplessly and wipe the tea on his face and body first.
Zhu Cihong, the crown prince who secretly ran into the industrial city, put down the Zhengde purple clay pot in his hand, and he was almost happy: "There are many strange things every year, especially this year. ”
"Lone has never seen someone who is so eager to find death, and he dares to put the Hongyi cannon in the position of six miles, don't they know that the range of the Type 08 field gun is eight miles."
Zhu Shun couldn't help but show a faint smile when he heard the joke of the crown prince Zhu Cihong: "They really don't know, if they know the range of the Type 08 field gun." ”
"Not to mention putting the Hongyi cannon in the position of six miles, even if you enter the industrial city, you don't have the courage to do so."
Not only is there no courage, there are Type 08 field guns at the head of the city, and there is barbed wire outside the city, this kind of insoluble modern fortress.
Of course, how far to hide and how far to hide, I would rather attack the capital than attack this so-called Zhuangzi.
