In this way, it is difficult to adjust the direction of the muzzle by fixing the wall, and the artillery can be fixed in one direction, causing some minor casualties to the attacking troops outside the city.
In this way, when two thousand musketeers rushed to the city for a hundred paces, they lost less than 300 people.
In the face of this situation, Zhang Qian’s face showed a look of utter amazement, and at the same time, he ordered, "Musketeers, musketeers, shoot horses, and never let Tartars get close to the wall …"
So the dense and dull guns sounded like firecrackers.
However, the distance of 100 paces has obviously exceeded the range of muskets equipped by the imperial court. Although the loyalist shot lead, it did not cause any damage to the musketeers outside the city.
It wasn’t until Hanqi rushed to ten paces that someone began to be hit by lead bullets and rushed down the road.
However, at this time, the musketeers in Hanqi can also shoot the city wall loyalist with their muskets, because the late Jin Dalai also bought a lot of musketeers with worse quality from the Tiger and Leopard Army.
However, with geographical advantages and military advantages, the garrison soldiers can destroy two less Han flag musketeers every time they die.
When the battlefield situation is about to tilt towards the loyalist body step by step, a deafening horseshoe suddenly rings on the battlefield.
Two thousand Tatar cavalry rushed to the wall like a field charge.
"Don’t Dalai intend to cavalry impact the wall …" This is the first reaction of guarding city soldiers in the face of this situation.
So the soldiers guarding the city unconsciously aimed their musket wounds at these aggressive cavalry
However, they shot lead bullets without organization. It is obviously very difficult to hit the fast-running cavalry. More importantly, these Tatar cavalry did not crash into their guns.
Spread out and rushed at them with overwhelming force. When the Tatar cavalry was close to the range of the yard bow in their hands, they began to bend their bows and take arrows to prepare for throwing arrows.
Just after entering the range of the horse bow, take the bow and arrow and leave the string and fly to Chengtou.
Yu Tatar cavalry quickly left the battlefield by virtue of their superb riding skills.
Because all this was going so fast, the defenders of Chengtou came from the sky and flew towards them with great strength before they could respond.
Just as the endless screams began to ring, the Tatar cavalry just left the range of the loyalist muskets and bent their bows and arrows again to turn the horse’s head and prepare to shoot a second round of arrows at Chengtou.
Since he was full of hope, 50 guns in red were devastated, the Tatar Lord knew that it had become a dream to break through Beijing with his existing strength.
In that case, the next attack has two purposes.
Vent one’s anger and show the powerful reality of 8 Jin J to the great court.
So this attack, which consumed the garrison troops, stopped only for half an hour.
There is no need to fight against the great court in the eyes of the Tatar Lord.
But even for half an hour, the Tatars caused almost a thousand losses to the defenders. More than 70% of these losses were caused by the horse bow of the Tatar cavalry.
Then the 8 Jin Army lost less than 600 people at the very most, and most of these 600 people were Hanqi Musketeers who had not been trained for long.
It can be said that if the defenders don’t want to come up with a solution, and then the 8 Jin Army has enough troops and time to consume, the big country, Beijing, will fall to the Tatars one day.
Chapter five hundred and fifty Two choices
Zhang Qian’s serious facial expression was directly covered with dignity, and his brow wrinkled even deeper at this moment.
Of course, this dignity did not last long before it was covered by shock.
Although Zhang Qian’s account was recorded by Emperor Chongzhen, he believed that all the way to Gaoshengge, but in any case, Zhang Qian’s account was all a scholar, not talking about the battlefield, and perhaps even the real Tatar had never seen the sharp tactics and tactics of the battlefield.
However, the Ministry of War is still normal around me.
After all, he climbed to the border army generals step by step with the meritorious military service.
Just a glance at the Ministry of War shows the battlefield situation. When Zhang Qian’s complicated expression, both shocking and dignified, appeared in his eyes, the Ministry of War’s face was very surprised and revealed a smile to Zhang Qian’s side.
"Congratulations to the records of adults. Judging from the situation that the Dalai just attacked, it seems that the siege of Beijing is no longer trying its best to quickly withdraw from the battlefield after only causing some damage to us … The official boldly guessed that the attack on Beijing Dalai had given up the idea of attacking Beijing since the red artillery position was devastated by us and no longer fought with us."
In the face of this answer, Zhang Qian said that his eyes lit up and quickly asked, "Wait a minute. You mean that the idea of attacking Beijing has given up and he will withdraw his troops?"
The Ministry of War first nodded, then shook his head, and finally said, "My Lord, do you agree or not …"
"The Dalai Lama has given up the idea of attacking Beijing, which is definitely because he has lost the money to break the city except for the destroyed red artillery. If the Dalai Lama has a little sense, he will know that it is impossible for him to break the city with his existing strength."
"But it’s not for the official to infer whether the Dalai Lama will withdraw his troops immediately."
"The adults who have just finished the attack should have seen that Tatar has brought us hundreds of heavy losses at a small price because he is very good at riding and shooting."
"Officials are worried that they have finished taking the northern Zhili and started to reap the results. Will they always keep their troops stationed outside Beijing, and the same tactics will continue to consume us and hurt our morale …"
Zhang Qian just breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was full of expectation. Just after blinking, it was covered with heavy weight again.
In the face of the Ministry of War, it is still a serious order, "Wei’s adult fights whatever you do, no matter what the Dalai outside the city thinks or what the purpose is, you must ensure that Beijing Chengan must never let the Dalai attack Beijing Chengtou."
Tens of thousands of elite imperial officials held back when Beijing began to be attacked by thousands of tartars one after another.
After personally commanding tens of thousands of tiger and leopard troops’ elite Wei Zheng also appeared very often, 8 Jin J worked hard to establish a defense line.
In the face of aggressive and tens of thousands of tiger and leopard troops, elite Huang Taiji is not to be outdone. Tens of thousands of steps ride to get up. Of course, Huang Taiji gets up. In addition to tens of thousands of steps ride, there are still a few days to get up from the late Jin Dynasty and 20,000 Han slaves.
Like the Tatar fighters, Huang Taiji, a slave of 20,000 Han people, ordered that it be divided into 20 thousand-man teams managed by Manchu youths who did not join the army and scattered around the Tatar army array.
Overlooking it, these military formations are like a thick protective circle around the Dalai Lama.
In the face of this layout, a few miles away, a single telescope is being held to observe the faces of all the divisional officers of the Tatar Army, revealing a puzzled expression.
Wang Feng, who has the highest rank and position among all people, looked puzzled and asked, "What does the commander Huang Taiji want to do to get a group of people around them? Isn’t he worried that after the start of the battle, he will arrange the people around him and may in turn attack his army and let him lead the soldiers directly into chaos?"
Wei Zheng didn’t have a horse to speak, but Wei Zheng’s face became more and more gloomy
Because it is very clear from later generations that the Dalai Lama has defended the Han people, it can be seen at a glance that Huang Taiji intends to use these Han people as human shields and let us rest assured to fight.
After taking a deep breath, he said to the department around him, "You think too simply about Huang Taiji. You didn’t find that the tens of thousands of people around Dalai were all Han Chinese, and they just plundered the Han people in the late Jin Dynasty from Liaodong. Not surprisingly, Huang Taiji must want these people to hit us as cannon fodder."
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, no one in several departments gave a rebuttal, and everyone’s face showed a heavy and worried expression.
Many people in these ministries around Wei Zheng have been plundered by the Tatars or have been refugees.
Refugees and bandits who are also of Han origin may make ordinary people as cannon fodder to attack the enemy’s army, and things are worse. Animals are not as good as Houjin Dalai.
So everyone here agrees with what Wei Zheng said.
Now that it’s approved, we should think about the possible countermeasures, and a very difficult decision is directly in front of them
If Tartars really do this, they will only have two decisions: to shoot or not to shoot.
Shot in front of tens of thousands of people will die at their guns. They dare not imagine whether those soldiers can have enough courage to pull the trigger of musket and shoot deadly lead bullets at them when facing unarmed people.
