Indeed, this 1.4 million Qing army was almost the last strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to be gathered, including all the remaining rifle corps and flint armies, including 450,000 rifle armies, 30,000 flint armies, and 920,000 ordinary cold weapon armies.

In terms of the total number alone, it is three and a half times that of the Ming army.

Even if the Qing army only uses rifles, it is more than the total number of the Ming army, and there are 30,000 flint gun troops, nearly one million ordinary cold weapon troops are assisted, and the Qing army is still on the defending side, and the Ming army is the attacker, and the attacker has always been more at a disadvantage, and it seems that the Qing army's chances of victory are greater.

It's a pity that Dolgon doesn't have much confidence in this kind of power, in the end, Murkala, Yazd, Isfahan, these three big battles to Dolroll are too big a blow, the Qing Dynasty is thousands of miles deep, three large defenses, in the end there are still as many as 400,000 Qing troops to come to the city of Baghdad, that is to say, three large defenses, hundreds of thousands of cities, only consumed 100,000 Ming troops, and most of them are still left in the city, the real Ming army killed in battle, Dolgon estimates that there are only about 10,000 people at most.

This is a terrifying result, but in fact, what hit Dolgon the most is not the three major battles, but the battle in which the two sides together are only 50,000 people, and the 40,000 core force of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, besieged the 7,000 Ming army, but suffered a heavy defeat, with a battle loss ratio of ten to one.

In that case, it also reached a loss ratio of ten to one, and the blow to Dol and the Qing army was more serious than any major battle, even if more than ten days have passed, Dolgon's heart is still faintly cold, how can he still have much confidence to defeat the Ming army in Baghdad.

In the end, the weapons of the Ming army were still much more advanced than those of the Qing army, not only the total number of artillery, but also light and heavy machine guns and mortars.

Originally thought that the Qing Dynasty obtained the new high gunpowder technology and primer technology, and successfully imitated the Ming Dynasty's rifles and cannons, the Qing Dynasty at least in terms of weapons was not much worse than the Ming Army, but he never thought that the Ming Army's rifles were more advanced than the original, shooting, accuracy, and range have been improved, and the performance crushed the rifles imitated by the Qing Dynasty, and there are also new heavy machine guns and mortars.

Fortunately, the Ming army had just arrived under the city of Baghdad, and the decisive battle had not really begun, and he still had a rear hand that could be used at the height of the battle, and he had not yet reached the most desperate time.

The city of Baghdad is the decisive battle site selected by Dolgon, and the defense is naturally not comparable to Murkara, Yazd, and Isfahan, and it is several times more powerful, and the city of Baghdad is located in the upper reaches of the two river basins, not only digging a wide and deep moat, but also the left and right sides are river moats, and the Ming army can only attack from the front.

A frontal attack is not only to face the walls and moats of the city of Baghdad, but also a group of defensive ravines one thousand meters deep in front, and the Ming army can only kill next to the moat of Baghdad and really come under the city of Baghdad by capturing this thousand meters of defensive ravines first.

The walls of Baghdad are not simple, Dolgon has doubled the height and four times the thickness of the previous walls, and Dolgon does not know through what channels to get a batch of cement produced by the Ming Dynasty, which is also used on the walls of Baghdad.

The defense of the city of Baghdad has been built to such an extent that it can be said that in terms of the fortification of the city in today's world, the city of Baghdad is already the first. After all, the Ming may be more skilled and wealthy, but the Ming Dynasty has begun to modernize, the city walls have gradually been phased out, and street battles with hot weapons such as guns and cannons are the strongest defenses.

"Didi----Dididi----" The Ming army camp, the military intelligence department, and the radio station were constantly making beeping sounds under the operation of intelligence personnel.

At the same time, in a cellar in the city of Baghdad, a middle-aged man who looked like an Arab was operating a radio station, transmitting something to the outside.

After so many years, Daming has already exhibited batteries that can provide power for a period of time to miniaturized radio stations.

The Ming Dynasty allowed the Manchu Qing Dynasty to exhibit in the Middle East for so many years, and as early as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a large number of spy agents were deployed in the Manchu Dynasty, and most of the news of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not escape the detection of the Ming spies.

Of course, the Manchu Qing Dynasty actually had some spies in the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that the Ming economy is too strong, as long as the people of the Ming Dynasty work hard, they will be able to live well, and there are too few people who dare to risk killing their heads as Manchu spies, even if they have, they are just some inconsequential people, plus the attack of the Ming intelligence department, they can't find much useful information to the Manchu Qing at all, and therefore the Manchus will not know anything about many things in the Ming Dynasty, heavy machine guns and mortars have been equipped in the Ming army for several years, and they have not leaked out.

"Hehe, the defense of Baghdad City is indeed not weak, but Dolgon wants to drag down Daming with this, it is just a pipe dream, Daming's strength is no longer what Dolgon can imagine at the moment!" Zhu Ci smiled disdainfully.

Dolgon may have been known as a great talent, but the Ming Dynasty was too fast, and after more than thirty years, it was no longer the Ming that Dolgon had seen before he moved west with the Manchurians, and there was no comparison. Maybe from the newspaper, Dolgon has heard of the Ming Exhibition, but Dolgon has not seen it with his own eyes, he can't understand what kind of existence the modernization exhibition is, let alone understand how strong the national strength brought about by modernization is, Dolgon has fallen behind the times in an all-round way.

In the face of the difference of the times, Dorgon's so-called eloquence is more of a joke.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ----"

"Attack!" With a dense burst of artillery, the Ming army began the battle to attack Baghdad.

The defense zone of the thousand-meter gully group in front of the city of Baghdad was intensively bombarded by the Ming army, and many Qing soldiers hiding in the ravines were blown up by artillery shells and became a bloody and tattered corpse.

----Dozens of heavy machine guns were also constantly firing at the Qing troops in the ravines, and some Qing soldiers who dared to show their heads were shattered by the bullets of the heavy machine guns on the spot, and they were extremely miserable.

Dolgon deployed 100,000 Qing troops in this thousand-meter gully group, including 30,000 flint spear troops, 30,000 rifle troops, and 40,000 cold weapons Qing troops.

The artillery of the Qing army deployed on the walls of Baghdad was also counterattacking, firing at the Ming army.

Some of the Ming soldiers who operated heavy machine guns were blown up with guns, but then some Ming soldiers carried other heavy machine guns to make up for it, and the Ming army's firepower did not weaken in the slightest.

"Boom, boom, boom ----" Qing artillery fired at the Ming artillery position, and hundreds of shells came down, blowing up seven or eight Ming artillery pieces in an instant.
