Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    They wanted to sell weapons to the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor asked them to come here to test the power of the weapons?

    Why is this so confusing?

    They all use swords and spears. Is there anything surprising about these weapons?

    We can also make it in Ming Dynasty, so why should we buy it from the other party?

    Oh, yes.

    They seemed to be using bird blunderbuss just now, and this kind of fire blunderbuss was different from the Ming dynasty. It looked a little short, but it was quite comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

    The Ming Dynasty's fire gun was too heavy to use, so it required two to three soldiers to carry it before it could be used. However, the fire gun used by the opponent just now seemed to only need one soldier.

    Such an exquisite fire gun seems to be stronger than the Ming Dynasty's.

    If it¡¯s these firecrackers, it doesn¡¯t hurt to buy some.

    After all, this thing is still a very good thing for defending the city.

    The soldiers garrisoned here in the capital earn their living at the feet of the emperor, so they have a lot more experience.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????? Just now, the soldiers of the Genetic Guards knocked over the firecrackers used by the surrendered soldiers, but they all saw it.  Therefore, after they listened to Xiaodanzi's words, they would also think about it and compare it in their hearts.

    They are a little weaker in hand-to-hand combat with the Jurchens, but they are still very confident in using fire guns to defend the city against the Jurchens.

    In fact, the troops originally stationed here in the capital were also equipped with firecrackers.  But due to corruption, those muskets basically cannot be used.

    So, there should be this kind of fire gun soldiers in name.  It did not appear in this battle, and if there are no accidents, it will appear in the future.

    The silver used to make firecrackers.  They were all embezzled and embezzled by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs and other officials.

    Under such circumstances, how could there be fire rifles in the army?

    If you are on the border army side, such situations are less common. After all, the border army has to deal with various emergencies and ensure the security and stability of the border.

    So, those officials don¡¯t dare to corrupt too much.

    But the situation is different here in the capital.

    Those officials never imagined that enemies would come to the capital city.

    So, they have no scruples in being greedy.

    But now I have a look.  That would really harm others and yourself.

    If the garrison of the capital had enough fire rifles, the Jurchens outside the city would not be so arrogant.

    You must know that during the rise of the Jurchens, they often fought against the Ming army.

    For the Jurchens who were good at riding and shooting, the Daimyo army used fire blunderbuss as a weapon because they did not have enough war horses, and achieved good results.

    The Jurchens also suffered great damage in front of the fire guns.

    ?Basically.  In a cold weapon battle, the Jurchens are very strong.

    "But when encountering fire gun soldiers, the Jurchens' charge is no different from sending someone to death."

    Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s firecrackers were expensive to make and extremely inconvenient to use, so there were not many of them in the army.

    This gave the Jurchens a chance.

    If it were Zhao Hongyu's Song Empire army fighting against the Jurchens, then the Jurchens would have no chance at all.

    The Ming Dynasty¡¯s fire blunderbuss was filled with gunpowder and lead shot.  Until the final firing, the process was very tedious and long, taking about three minutes.

    Time like this is indeed a bit slow.

    The Song Empire¡¯s muskets could fire five times a minute.

    With this number of shots, no matter how brave you Jurchens are.  There is no other way.

    Especially when Zhao Hongyu also uses a linear formation to fight and is equipped with small-caliber artillery.  The Song Dynasty's army was even more powerful.

    ¡°At least until now, the Song Empire has not encountered any opponents on the American continent or the European continent.

    In the battle between Japan and Japan in the East, the battle between 10,000 people and 150,000 people was also decided with the victor's attitude.

    Therefore, it is normal for Zhao Hongyu and the others to have such strong confidence in their weapons.

    And this kind of strong self-confidence also allowed them to naturally reveal a temperament that was different from the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty when they were about to face the Jurchens.

    Father-in-law Xiaodanzi asked the Ming soldiers to evacuate this place and promised that they would not be found even if something went wrong. This made the soldiers a little stunned.

    &nbsp"It's a bit too much to let outsiders defend the city."

    Could it be that the men of Ming Dynasty were so miserable?

    "Don't look at me, this is what the emperor wants. Since they want to sell weapons to us, they have to come up with some means to show us, so you go to support other places.  Now that the Jurchens' offensive is so fierce, it's very critical to go to other places, right?"

    As soon as Xiaodanzi finished speaking, the general who had stopped Zhao Hongyu and the others on the steps came over and said, "Just listen to this little father-in-law, let these Song people come here."  Defense, you just go and support other places."

    The military attache already knew the cause and effect and received the guarantee from Eunuch Xue, so he was very relieved.

    Eunuch Xue is a close confidant of the emperor, can his words be false?

    "And the Song people voluntarily came to fight against the Jurchens, which could also reduce some of their pressure. This is a good thing.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    ¡°These fools are all willing. If I extrapolate, wouldn¡¯t I be an idiot?

    After hearing what their general said, the soldiers left one after another.

    Xiaodanzi nodded towards the general, and then walked towards Zhao Hongyu and the others.

    Looking at Xiao Danzi's frail figure, the general shook his head and said to himself: "There are all kinds of weird things these days, and there are still people who volunteer to fight. Aren't they afraid of death? The Jurchens are not like that.  It's easy to deal with, but this matter has nothing to do with me. Since they want it, I won't stop them. Anyway, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to find my fault. "

    The general shook his head and retreated. He didn't want to stay here at the top of the city for a while.

    You know, the Jurchens¡¯ offensive has not stopped yet.

    "Rodelny, take your people to guard the crenel. Your armor's defensive properties are still very guaranteed. My people don't have armor, so you must hold on and not let the enemy attack!"

    Here, Zhao Hongyu issued a series of orders.

    "Yes, Your Highness. Roderney will obey your orders."

    After receiving Zhao Hongyu¡¯s order, Roderny raised his right hand, tapped on the breastplate and then bowed his head in response.

    Then Zhao Hongyu turned his head and told the officers of the Imperial Guard: "You, now start attacking the enemy with grenades, and you must repel the enemy in front of us. I don't believe it anymore, aren't they made of flesh and blood!"  "

    Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t believe that the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand.  Rumors like being completely invincible.

    These rumors are actually used to scare people.

    " Cold weapons fight hot weapons, Zhao Hongyu doesn't think that the descendants of the Jurchens can defeat him.

    Of course, his own troops are a bit small, otherwise Zhao Hongyu would not mind going out of the city to fight with them in the field.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, it would be nice to have some appetizers now.

    "Your Highness. The prisoner has confessed. He is not a Jurchen. He is a Han Chinese who was captured by the Jurchens for a few years."

    When Zhao Hongyu wanted to touch up the corpses earlier, one of the surviving guys shouted to surrender, which made Zhao Hongyu feel very strange.

    Because in his opinion, Jurchens should be brave and not afraid of death.  How could it be possible to surrender?

    ¡°And that guy looks a little different from the Jurchens.

    so.  Zhao Hongyu asked someone to interrogate this guy.

    As expected, this guy is a Han Chinese.

    Damn it, have the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty formed an army now?

    Thinking of the history that happened in another time and space, Zhao Hongyu's mood suddenly became very bad.

    "What useful information did you get from him?"

    Zhao Hongyu asked.

    "Your Highness, according to that guy's confession, the Manchus organized the captured Han people into a force called the Return Army, and there are quite a few of them."

    "I just saw how brave they were in battle. I really didn't expect them to be Han Chinese. Don't they know that their enemies have the same Chinese blood as them?" Zhao Hongyu said to such people,  It's disgusting from the bottom of my heart.

    The officer who came to report responded: "The reason for this is very complicated, and my subordinates couldn't explain it clearly for a while  But one thing is certain, these people have psychologically distorted identification with the Manchus, and they also regard themselves as Manchus.  It's a pity that they still lack the fierceness of the Manchu people.  "

    Zhao Hongyu nodded when he heard this: "Huh! Damn that guy, he was actually assimilated by the Manchus. I really don't know what they are thinking. Don't they know how to escape?"

    "Your Highness, their families are all with Houjin. If they desert, their families will be severely punished, so there is no way to escape. But if they fight hard, they can still get a lot of money."  Lots of trophies to use to improve the lives of my family"

    The officer in charge of the interrogation told Zhao Hongyu all the information extracted from each prisoner.

    No wonder, it turns out there are family members who are being held hostage.

    "Your Highness, my subordinates have also received a very important piece of information, that is, in the Manchu camp outside the city, Huang Taiji and the current Eight Banners masters are there. It seems that basically all the senior officials of the Hou Jin Kingdom are here."

    oh!

    There is such a thing!

    After hearing the news, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes suddenly flashed.

    ???????????????????????? Just like what this officer said, basically all the high-level officials of the Later Jin Dynasty are here.

    The leaders of the Eight Banners, including Huang Taiji, were all great figures in Houjin.

    ¡°If he could finish them all in one pot Zhao Hongyu fell into a reverie, but he quickly denied his reverie.

    ¡°Forget it, this is unreliable. After all, we don¡¯t have many soldiers to do this.

    You must know that the enemy has an army of more than 50,000 people.

    ??Besides, even if you send people to do this, how can they get close to Huang Taiji and the others?

    Hey!

    So, I can only think about this matter.

    "Your Highness, the enemy is attacking again!"

    "Everyone goes to defense!"
