Chaoyang Gate.

The torrent of Shun cavalry appeared in the field of vision of Dolgon on the city wall with the morning glow......

He already knew the results of the night raid.

The 1,000 Baya Lama soldiers who went out of the city to attack fled back to less than 600, which was the result of the Shun army running wild for a day and being too lazy to chase and kill, otherwise these 600 would probably have stayed outside with Subay. And their gains were almost negligible, in fact, the vast majority of Qing troops chose to retreat after the frustration of the front.

After all, the defense of the Shun army was tight enough.

Night raids rely on suddenness, and when the suddenness is lost, it is difficult to succeed.

The vast majority of the cavalry that broke through the shells, trapped the pit and intercepted with thistles and bullets fell less than ten steps away from the camel wall of the Shun army, and a few fish that slipped through the net were also blocked outside the camel city, and soon ushered in a steady stream of bullets......

"Dolgon, a gift for you!"

Zhang Nai jumped his horse and shouted at the Chaoyang Gate Tower.

After saying that, he took off Subay's head from the saddle, and threw it out with the rat's tail, and just as the head flew into the air, he suddenly pulled out his short gun, and then aimed and pulled the trigger. With the sound of gunshots, Su Bai's head flew out sideways in the burst of minced meat, but the next moment Zhang Nai's second short gun spewed flames, and the bullet hit again, and the head that was no longer shapeless flew out and fell......

"How is Master's marksmanship?"

Zhang Nai shouted proudly blowing the smoke of two guns.

Immediately after that, there was a round of applause behind him.

Then more than 400 horsemen marched forward.

These elite soldiers riding horses from the Western Regions lined up in a horizontal line, keeping the rhythm forward, all of them holding finger-thick square steel in their hands, and a long square steel carrying human heads with rat tails on them. These elite soldiers fighting in the Western Regions had no place to cut down trees in the desert grassland to reject horses, so Li Zicheng simply customized this portable pseudo-steel rejection horse for them. When camping, it is directly slanted into the ground, the wooden hammer is smashed into half a zhang, leaving half a zhang outside, and the result of the war horse hitting it is only to be stabbed in pair, and it can be reused, even if it is a big deal to bend and then go straight over.

In fact, these square steels have traces of straightening.

In other words, they have stabbed the enemy's horses many times.

It's not easy to detect during the day.

It's too thin.

It's actually a centimeter thick.

At night, it is almost invisible, and it is easy to distinguish the wooden stake from the horse, but this thing really blends in with the background, and the cavalry raid may not be able to see it clearly.

This insidious rejection of horses, like those equally insidious pits, did not really stop the cavalry raid, but allowed them to lose a wave and interfere with their speed before reaching the camel city, and then it was the Shun army on the camel city defense line that waited for them. The elite army of the Shun army, which has been fighting in the Western Regions for many years, has rich combat experience, which is far from being comparable to those cavalry on the battlefield of confrontation in the interior.

They are the legions that really kill people and destroy the country.

Whether it is the cavalry of the Ming army, the Mongolian cavalry of the nomadic tribe, or the cavalry of the Eight Banners who have not fought for many years, they are just some of them in their eyes.

Anyone with more than 400 killing machines with no less than 20 lives on their bodies carried these heads forward in this way, under the angry eyes of those Qing soldiers on the city wall, and unscrupulously showed off their might there.

Wu Bai, who was beside Dolgon, looked at him with an inquiring gaze, but Dolgon just waved his hand with a calm face.

It didn't help to open fire.

As long as it doesn't go into the range of the shotguns, it is a waste of ammunition for his cannons to hit such a fast-moving cavalry line, this humiliation can still be resisted, and he doesn't have much ammunition, and the vast majority of the previous reserves have been sent to Duoduo, and now he can't waste it by temperament!

Soon the line was 100 zhang.

Suddenly, they began to separate to the left and right, and their neat movements showed their superb horsemanship, while the cavalry on horseback threw the square steel in their hands one after another, and the square steel sharpened at the front end was pierced into the soil one by one, picking up the heads of the Baya Lama soldiers to stimulate the Qing army on the city wall. Immediately after that, the cavalry who threw the square steel pulled out a short spear, twisted his body on horseback, and pulled the trigger on these heads......

There was a cry on the walls.

"Dolgon, wait for the master, I heard that you are a father-in-law, and the brothers really want to see it!"

Zhang Nai shouted arrogantly.

The cavalry behind him laughed.

Immediately after that, this guy who should have died in Shiniuzhai at this time in history, turned around and returned with these cavalry, and in the ring gun emplacements that had just been dug up in front of them, a mortar cannon was assembled, and it spewed flames at this magnificent city as it did seven years ago, and the wake of the flowering bullet crossed the sky like a meteor.

For the fourth time in ten years, the Northern Capital was in flames of war.

And in the wilderness to the southwest, a torrent of 100,000 cavalry was sweeping in......

"It was a beautiful play!"

Yang Qing also admired.

At this time, it was already that night, and in front of him was Xu Cheng, who had been riding a horse since he watched the play last night, this old spy had been lurking in the Northern Capital for eight years, and there were many acquaintances in this area, both powerful and official, and it was just a trivial matter to want to run here safely.

"Ten hours of running two hundred miles, methodically building a camp, and laying traps to defeat the sneak attack of the enemy, this cavalry is very difficult to deal with!"

Zheng Chenggong said with some solemnity.

Indeed, Li Zicheng's Western Regions Legion obviously exceeded its combat effectiveness as expected, not to mention the cavalry under the infantry army, even the professional cavalry of the cavalry army could not reach this level. To look at the combat effectiveness of a cavalry, you don't need to look at anything else, just look at the ability to run long distances, running two hundred miles a day, and there is still enough combat ability! In particular, this cavalry had been forcibly marching for many days before, and even passed through the Taihang Mountain in the middle, and this raid ability was not inferior to the most elite cavalry of the Qing army before entering the pass, that is, those under Ao Bai.

It even has to go a little bit beyond that.

"So, let's not think that we are really invincible in the world, at least there are not no people who can defeat us on the battlefield. Li Zicheng's Western Regions Legion is counted as one, the provincial legions of the Swedes can at least draw with our mountain army, and the Polish hussars will not be worse than our heavy cavalry. Even the Ottoman Sipahi cavalry, the Egyptian Mamluk cavalry, these are no worse than our cavalry. As for the seas, not to mention, the navy of Europe, whether it is the Netherlands, England or even the declining Spain, is still much stronger than our ten battleships, and the British had already built the Sea King with a hundred cannons ten years ago. ”

Yang Qing said.

Li Zicheng's Western Regions Army can just make his subordinate generals sober and sober.

The latter is becoming more and more empty-eyed.

The Ming army's undefeated record for many years, the status quo of hanging and beating the most terrible enemy has begun to breed pride, but if you really want to calculate it, the Ming army is not the strongest in the world, even if it is the Marine Corps. The Marines are only superior in equipment and morale, but they are really not sure of victory when compared with the elites trained in the thirty years of war in Europe.

Fusiliers are not invincible.

The main European countries did not completely eliminate the arquebus until after the Great Melee of the Spanish Throne, which means that when Churchill was his ancestor, there were still European armies using arquebuses on the battlefield.

But it is much worse than the combat experience of the Ming army.

The same goes for cavalry.

Even the most elite cavalry army is inferior to Li Zicheng's Western Regions Army.

But......

Daming has an overwhelming advantage in comprehensive national strength!

"Lord Protector, what should we do here?"

Zheng Chenggong asked.

Their reinforcements have not yet arrived, but the northwest wind has begun to blow in the past few days, which has seriously affected the sea transportation from Penglai to here, and those transport ships must enter the current area to the north to sail in order to catch the wind.

"Don't worry, Li Zicheng estimates that he will arrive tomorrow, Zhang Nai is a group of cavalry, it is impossible to attack, and his vanguard is only blocking Bolo's return to the northern capital. It would take at least three days for Li Zicheng's 100,000-strong army to reach the northern capital and then make a day's preparations, and five days later before the real attack there could begin. But Dolgon had to hold out for a few days, the first emperor still held out for a day, in short, before we captured the military grain city, he couldn't enter the northern capital. Bolo should have gone back to save Dolgon at this time, the defense of Tianjin is weakened, you can take it yourself, and then I can go to the northern capital by myself. In addition, send a communication ship back to Dengzhou, and send a report to Xuzhou to ask Cao Dutong to contact Li Guo, and then it is time to encircle and annihilate the Qing army in Henan, and Wuchang Huang Dutong should also go to Chang'an. ”

Yang Qing said.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he could go there alone, and Li Zicheng's military leaders would be hacked to death if they dared to disobey, and no one could hide from whoever he wanted to kill.

"Where is Dord?"

Zheng Chenggong asked.

There are not many Qing troops in Henan, and there are currently more than 20,000 people in Mandahai, mainly to contain the Ming army along the Yellow River north, and the main force of the Qing army is the 150,000 army commanded by Duoduo. Dolgon should have sent a letter to Duoduo at this time to send reinforcements, and when the order from this side was sent to Xuzhou, it was estimated that Duoduo had given up the attack on Zhengzhou and began to retreat.

This legion will be difficult to deal with.

"Duoduo? Where else could he go without Beijing? ”

Yang Qing sneered.

Zheng Chenggong also smiled.

Indeed, without the Northern Capital to go back to, where else could Duoduo go? Turning his head to the west to find Jiang Huangbei, anyway, he couldn't stay in Hebei and wait for death, his only choice was to withdraw to Liaodong, but the northern line was blocked, so he could only make a detour to the west. Then Li Zicheng's army returned to defend Taiyuan, Guanzhong Shun's army went east, the Ming army entered Tianjingguan to pursue, and the Ming-Shun coalition army surrounded Duoduo Yu Zelu, and fought a complete war of annihilation in this land surrounded by mountains.

It's just that Jiang Jiu is definitely finished!

Duoduo is in need of a punching bag!
