"I think we can also contact the Jurchens in Liaodong. After all, we can't open up a situation in the imperial capital. We can try those Tatars."
Someone immediately came out to object, "Those people believe in more primitive shamans, which may be more difficult to convince than the people of the Ming Dynasty."
Nan Huairen pondered for a moment and said: "I have been in contact with them, and they are not particularly difficult to contact. They are relatively simple-minded and simple in personality. Although they are more barbaric, they also have their own rules of conduct. In fact, you can try try."
Tang Ruowang asked: "I find that these people from the East are very practical. They will always come if they see benefits or benefit to themselves. I don't know what these Jianzhou people need and what we can provide them. "
Nan Huairen said: "I think they have been fighting the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and they like everything related to war. For example, medicine, armor, firearms, swords, etc. I think they will be interested in our cannons. . Just like the Ming Dynasty."
Long Huamin (Italian) said: "The Ming Dynasty purchased a lot of Western-style artillery. I heard that the previous leader of Jianzhou died after being wounded by European artillery. I heard that those artillery pieces were from Macau, salvage the sunken English weapons Guns on merchant ships."
Deng Yuhan (German) said: "The Jianzhou people will be tempted. Their old leaders were killed by artillery. They must be eager to get these artillery. I think they will adopt an open-minded attitude towards religion. They can do it for If you rise up and accept the shaman, you will definitely be able to associate with us in order to gain an advantage in the war."
Matteo Ricci and Tang Ruowang both nodded, feeling that this statement was reasonable. Instead of making up these random books here, I don't know if anyone will believe them, it's better to go to Liaodong and try your luck.
This is an old routine for these people. They always bring some small items to show off their advanced technology. For example, pocket watches, mirrors, telescopes, reading glasses, matchlocks, naval guns,...
But the Chinese always leave the packaging box and return the consciousness-related things inside. This made them very anxious and helpless.
European matchlocks and artillery must be needed by the people who founded the state. This is in line with the results of rational thinking. Everyone was convinced, and suddenly they no longer had much interest in compiling this crappy book.
Madeng Yun shrank his neck and hid behind the crenel. From the gap in the hanging door, he carefully stretched out his telescope and looked into the distance.
A large herringbone shack was pushed towards the city wall on four wheels.
A round of trebuchet attacks has just ended. These siege vehicles made of wood and cowhide came up again.
At this time, the city walls and trenches were filled with dead bodies. If it hadn't been for winter, it would have been so frozen that no one could stand on the stinking city walls.
This is a new way to create slaves. Madeng Yun has never seen what this is.
These sturdy wooden houses covered with rawhide moved slowly forward.
Ma Dengyun estimated that if they were all used to hold people, each one could probably hide two rows of people, with about ten people in each row. I just don't know how to use it.
At first, Ma Dengyun thought it was used to attack the city gate. If this thing was added with logs for impact, it would be a siege ram. However, he observed for a long time and did not hit the wood.
Fire began to fire on the city wall, and artillery, muskets, and bows and arrows were all hitting these small houses. After a crackling sound, the small houses paused only briefly before moving on.
Obviously, these weapons had no major impact on them. The lead bullets of the general's cannon have been burned out, and now the cannonballs are made of stone. The effect is not good and the accuracy is very poor. It's hard to hit these tiny houses on the move.
Muskets and bows and arrows obviously cannot penetrate the wooden shells and cowhide armor of these small houses.
Soon these small houses were pushed under the city walls. Then there was smoke. Three or four people escaped from the back of the house and hid directly in the moat.
Only then did Madeng Yun understand that these were burning and smoking devices.
In the blink of an eye, all the densely packed small wooden houses leaning against the city were
Burned violently. Because the wood was newly cut and highly moist, the smoke was almost overwhelming.
Blow by the north wind, everything burned violently.
For a time, white smoke covered the sky on the city wall, and the soldiers all started coughing. The crenels can't be seen clearly either. It's all smoke. The eyes of those who are irritated will be red. My eyes were filled with tears and I couldn't see anything clearly.
At this time, the sound of horns suddenly came from the city. The Mongols carried the ladder like a tide and rushed up again.
Ma Dengyun cursed in his heart, these shameless slaves, if they can't beat them, use smoke. This is really shameful.
I have to say, these smoke cans are very easy to use. There were probably dried wolfsbane flowers in the car, and the smoke was very irritating to the eyes and throat.
"Throw down the Thunderbolt and Ten Thousand Enemies to me. Blast these bastards to death." Ma Dengyun roared angrily.
The current situation is not good. We cannot clearly see the situation in front of us. We must remove these smoke canisters.
Dorgon, the three brothers Duduo and Azig all showed excited expressions when they looked at the city wall that was completely covered by thick smoke. The ten days of siege warfare were extremely difficult. Madeng Yun is not someone to be trifled with at all. They suffered heavy casualties.
Duduo looked at the top of the city and couldn't see below at all. Those people must have died from the thick smoke of the Wolfsbane Flower. Just as he was about to give the order, Zhengbai Banner urged the Mongols to attack the city again.
I saw countless packages thrown down from the battlements. Then it exploded.
Wrapped in these quilts were jars filled with gunpowder. The reason why it is wrapped in quilt is to prevent the jar from being broken when putting it in.
Each jar was filled with twenty kilograms of gunpowder. These gunpowders are sealed, and the hardness of the ceramic is very high. The explosion was very powerful.
Groups of exploding fireballs rose up, and the powerful explosion blasted the burning wood everywhere, directly extinguishing the fire. It is common sense that explosions can extinguish flames, and Ma Dengyun naturally knows that. Even in modern times, there are things like fire extinguishers.
The powerful shock wave is a powerful fire extinguisher. Moreover, after the big explosion shattered these combustibles, they were thrown far away and extinguished the flames instantly.
Those Mongolians who had just rushed to the city, erected ladders, and climbed up desperately were blown up and flew up. These jars exploded under their butts, shock waves erupted from below, and they screamed and flew into the sky.
And these sharp broken porcelain fragments were like shrapnel, sweeping around, and these unlucky guys were directly smashed into a sieve by the fragments while they were still in the air.
