Chapter 974: Dolgon's Secret Weapon?

"Bang Bang ----" Qing flintlock pistols were capable of killing and injuring Ottoman soldiers in defensive positions from a distance of 130 meters.

In the battle of the Mughal Empire, the Ming Dynasty 'supported' the Ming Dynasty to build no less than 200,000 flintlock pistols for the Mughal Empire. In addition to the damaged ones, after the Manchus conquered the Mughal Empire, they also captured no less than 140,000 pieces.

These flintlock pistols made by the Ming Dynasty are much better in terms of performance, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty imitated the Ming flintlock pistol. 、

In fact, after capturing so many flintlock pistols, Dolgon was completely able to form a flintlock team of more than 100,000 people by himself, but unfortunately, Dolgon could not fully believe in the loyalty of the Persians and Indians, and still only used the Manchus to form a flintlock team by themselves, and the population of the Manchus was limited, even if a part of the Manchu women with two white flags were absorbed into the flintlock team, but the Qing army's flintlock team could only be maintained at 27,000 at most.

"Bang bang bang bang ----" Hundreds of Ottoman soldiers in the defensive positions were shot by flintlock guns.

The Qing army's flintlock pistols, which used the Ming flintlock pistol, were almost the most feared by the Ottoman army. The degree of jealousy even exceeded that of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the real core of the Qing army.

However, from the first time to the Qing army, more than ten years have passed, the two sides have fought many times, and the Qing army's flintlock team has also been familiar to a certain extent, plus the experience of fighting with the flintlock teams of European countries in the European direction, the Ottoman army's defense of the flintlock team is also a set.

I saw many Ottoman soldiers hiding in the ravines and shooting arrows in the general direction of the Qing army's flintlock team.

The rain ----of arrows shot and killed many soldiers of the Qing army's flintlock pistol team.

Although the Qing army's flintlock pistol team pressed the Ottoman soldiers to hide in the ravine, unable to continue to block the attack of the Qing infantry, so that the Qing infantry had the opportunity to kill in the ravine, but the Qing army's killing in the ravine at the same time, it also meant that the soldiers on both sides were mixed together, and the Qing army's flintlock team could not continue to shoot.

This was a big dead end, the two sides fought for a whole day, and finally the Qing army had no choice but to retreat.

In one day's battle, the Qing army sent a total of more than 120,000 people to attack the defense on the east side of Damascus, but under the stubborn defense of the Ottoman army, it did not make much progress, but paid nearly 30,000 dead and wounded, while the Ottoman army only suffered about 20,000 casualties, and the losses of the Qing army were much greater than those of the Ottoman army.

If such an attack is followed, even if the Qing army is completely exhausted, I am afraid that it will not be able to completely capture the city of Damascus.

It seems that the two sides can still only confront each other for a long time, constantly fighting small battles to accumulate small victories into big victories, and finally completely drag them down, and such a confrontation may take another five or six years.

The Ottomans did not want to continue the confrontation for a long time, and on the side of the Qing army, Dolgon did not want to continue the confrontation for a long time.

Direction of the Ottoman army, inside the city of Damascus.

Hearing the retreat of the Qing army, the commander of the Ottoman army, Deniseri, smiled unexpectedly, but in his expectation, the Qing army wanted to start a big war quickly and succeed in a battle, which was absolutely impossible. The balance of strength between the two armies has already changed, the strength of the Qing army has become more powerful than their Ottoman army, a large-scale war, their Ottoman Empire is more likely to fail, this is a war related to the survival of the entire empire, and they can't be sloppy at all, so only in this way can they not hold on to the defense, they have a greater chance of achieving the final victory.

Deniseri still insisted on his purely defensive and unstable strategy to defend the city of Damascus.

On the side of the Qing army, the Qing army camp.

"The commander of the Ottoman army, Deniseri, is indeed a figure!" Dolgon said with some helplessness and even more admiration.

It has been fighting with the Ottoman army led by Denisseri for ** years, and he has never been able to defeat Denisery completely, even Dolgon, who claims to be his great talent, has to have some admiration for Denisery.

If according to the normal situation, if you can't hold on to an opponent like Deniseri, no matter how ambitious Dolgon is, I am afraid it will be difficult to think of any way to end this big war quickly, so you can only continue to confront each other for a long time, attrition little by little, until one side falls.

But it was clear that Dorgon wasn't going to waste so much time.

Although it is actually more beneficial to the Qing Dynasty to continue to consume for a long time, but it has been more than nine years, and he can't endure it for another five or six years, since moving west to the Middle East with his clansmen, although he has laid a big country, but it has been twenty years since then, Dolgon feels more and more that his body seems to be about to be unable to support it, he is old, and he also hopes to see the scene of the Qing Dynasty returning to the Central Plains, defeating the Ming Dynasty, and returning to the top.

At the beginning, it was he who led the Qing Dynasty into the customs and lost to the Ming Dynasty, so that the Qing Dynasty had to abandon the Manchurian ancestral land and move westward, and he had the responsibility to take the Qing Dynasty back to the Central Plains and recapture the Manchurian ancestral land.

Dorgon was born in the 40th year of Wanli and is now 58 years old.

Historically, Dolgon should have died at the age of thirty-nine, but history has been changed, and Dolgon's fate has also been changed, and he has not been left with a stubborn illness in a trauma in Sichuan as in history, and Dolgon has lived for nearly twenty more years.

But even if he has lived for nearly twenty more years, Dolgon, who is now nearly sixty years old, has begun to weaken, and he doesn't know how many years he can last, not because he can't afford it in the Qing Dynasty, but because he can't afford it.

Even if the Qing Dynasty could not regain the Central Plains and defeat the Ming Dynasty in the hands of his Dolgon, he must obtain a position in his hands that he could be on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty.

Dolgon's eyes flashed with sharpness!

In fact, this wish is not difficult to achieve! Dolgon's eyes narrowed slightly! Even a quick defeat of the hundreds of thousands of Ottoman troops holding the city of Damascus was not difficult to achieve.

"Zihar, when will the first firearms be produced!" Dolgon asked suddenly, turning to Zihar beside him.

"Back to the Regent, it will take a month at most for the first batch of firearms to be produced and shipped here!" Zihar replied solemnly.

Dolgon is old, in fact, Zihar and Aobai are also old, and even Aobai is two years older than Dolgon, Aobai is already sixty years old, and his body is old, even if he is still majestic, it is not as majestic as Rang Nian.

"Good! Let Deniseri and the Ottoman army stumble for another month, and in a month, when I break the Ottoman army and completely break the wings of the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East will be my sole hegemony! Dorgon clenched his fists.
