Chapter 484

For a whole night, no one in the high-level Qing dynasties had a rest.

They also sent people to the north, but less than 500 meters away from the city, they encountered the patrol of the Ming army. A brief fire broke out between the two sides, and the Qing people immediately returned to the city.

Although I don’t know how many retreat routes they have in the mountains, the people who defended the North City already understood one truth, that is, block your city gate.

Set up many defenses near the city gate, unless you can rush over, otherwise no matter how much preparation you have in the mountains, you will not be able to rush over.

Although this will expose our army to the eyes of the Qing people, with the combat capabilities of the Qing army, we have no danger here.

"Today's negotiation?"

It was almost dawn, and these people didn't speak for a whole night, so Prince Li had to speak.

It will be time for negotiations later. If you go out to negotiate, you have to take Sakurako out quickly. If you are not ready for negotiations, you have to fight with the people outside.

"What else is there to negotiate? I originally hoped that the negotiation would drag them down, so we could run out quickly while the night was shining. Now this plan has gone bankrupt and the negotiations have no meaning. Send troops to the city wall, strengthen the defense of the city wall, pull out all the artillery, and the muskets in our hands."

After thinking for a night, Dorgon did not choose to surrender. After all, for these Qing people, the price of surrender was too high, and it was the Ming army that was once defeated in their hands, which made them even more unbearable.

"I'll go down and arrange it right away."

Although Ajige was afraid of being beaten two days ago, when he saw various agreements, he didn't want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty like this.

So he kept trying to fight the Ming Dynasty. Now Dorgon finally made up his mind and of course he had to prepare well.

Speaking of the batch of muskets made, Fan Wencheng didn't know what to say next to him.

After Dorgon inspected that day, he immediately sent a large amount of gold, silver and various materials to the people in the Imperial Office, allowing them to make muskets as fast as possible.

But Fan Wencheng got another news, that is, while the city gate was not closed, Ma Yunshan gave out all his family and a large amount of gold, silver and treasures.

Fan Wencheng naturally understood what this means. Ma Yunshan and others had not studied it. The reason why they could pass the test last time was purely due to luck.

This time they knew they could not pass the test, so they simply gave away the people in their family, and all the gold, silver and treasures were embezzled. These people were ready to die.

Dorgon didn't know all this. If he wanted to put the hope of victory on those muskets, Fan Wencheng would now know what the result would be.

Hu Qiang had already expected the actions of the Qing Dynasty last night. When the Qing Dynasty did not move all night, Hu Qiang was ready in the morning.

"You must aim for me. You can only let the shells explode on it, and you must not let the shells hit both sides. If the city walls are blown up, I will go to Nanjing to see His Royal Highness."

In the morning, Hu Qiang had already walked back and forth in the artillery battalion twice.

Today, we are indeed going to launch a siege battle, but Hu Qiang was unsure. It is not that we are afraid of the Qing people. If something happens, the city wall will be destroyed in our hands. How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be in the capital?

"General, this is really a bit difficult for us. Although the destructive power of the crossbow is relatively low, if you have a volley, the explosion will be quite powerful."

Qian Tiecheng, commander-in-chief of the artillery, said.

This company was the leader of the first artillery regiment and had special research on artillery, so His Royal Highness sent him to the capital to help Hu Qiang attack the capital.

"I know this, not to let you not make any mistakes, but to make fewer mistakes in limited circumstances."

Hu Qiang also knew that it was difficult for these people. If the attack was not sharp enough, the other party would not suffer much damage and would not be able to force them to surrender.

Speaking of the current situation in the capital, Hu Qiang was really depressed. He originally thought that he would not let Dorgon and others escape, but now he did it, it would be a bigger problem.

You can't continue to besiege the capital. If you continue to besiege, you will have to see the effect within at least three months. Can the army wait here for three months?

Just relying on the daily consumption, Hu Qiang dared not let the army wait here for three months.

"Swap all the shells into one grenade, take down all the two grenades."

In order to ensure the integrity of the city walls of the capital, the artillery regiment had to take down some shells converted from two grenades.

The explosion of the two grenades is already quite powerful, and you will have to shoot a volley later.

Otherwise, the other party would not know our ability. If we use too much force to blow up the city wall, we will not only have no credit, but we will also have to apologize.

To be honest, the artillery has always been afraid that their firepower is not strong enough and cannot support their brothers on the front line. Now it’s better, and I have to try my best to reduce their firepower.

But everyone can understand that the capital was not built in one day. If we were to blow it up, the amount of silver would be spent.

“It’s time to make a debut.”

Seeing that the sun had risen, Hu Qiang rode his tall horse, and then his opponent gave an order.

"The Ming army is mighty."

As the banner was erected, the 73,000 soldiers in the south of the capital began to shout slogans at the same time.

Dorgon and others were just under the city wall, preparing to deal with the attack of the Ming army. After hearing this slogan, everyone rushed to the city wall in a hurry. Seeing the Ming army lined up in an orderly manner not far away, the Qing Dynasty's powerful people really had no hope at all.

At the front of the team are three rows of musketeers.

The soldiers stood up in high spirits, with vitality on their faces opposite to them were the Qing soldiers with dead spirits on their faces.

Behind are the arranged artillery. Looking at the city wall, there must be at least hundreds of artillery pieces.
