In Cao Wenzhao's view, lancers are invincible on the battlefield.
Killing an enemy with one bullet, pulling the bolt and firing while sitting on a horse, is the romance of modern cavalry.
No matter how many people the enemy comes with, it will be useless. If they want to attack the infantry phalanx, many dragoons will teach them a lesson.
No matter whether they are riflemen, machine gunners, mortar soldiers or mountain artillery soldiers, they will all let the Jiannu barbarians know what it means to go without returning!
This time all the equipment was named Apocalypse Eight Styles. As the name suggests, it was officially launched in the eighth year of Apocalypse.
This time, the emperor's personal army brought with them the Eight Styles of Apocalypse, which Cao Wenzhao thought were too powerful.
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Cao Wenzhao and said, "You also know from our deduction that if they don't leave the city and stay in the city, they can only sit and wait for death."
They have discussed and deduced this matter countless times.
If Huang Taiji had not sent out his troops and had chosen to hold on in the city, he would have suffered the most devastating defeat. No other form of defeat would have been as tragic as this one.
Because in the Royal Guard, urban siege warfare has become a compulsory training subject. Whether it is artillery or riflemen, there is no problem in this aspect.
Normally, when facing such a city, they would just fire cannons at it and then do other things. However, cities like those in Liaodong were built with rammed earth and had no way of withstanding cannon fire.
Although many people say that rammed earth cities are very strong, they are not so strong when facing hot weapons.
"Then do you think they will definitely leave the city?" Cao Wenzhao asked Lu Xiangsheng.
"He definitely will." Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "You know, the imperial court has been gathering a lot of information over the past few years. Huang Taiji is a man of some courage, not a coward. He will definitely give it a try."
"With the victory at Sarhu back then, there's hope. If they can win this time like they did at Sarhu, they'll be able to turn the tide immediately. Under such circumstances, do you think they wouldn't give it a try? Besides, they've bought a lot of our weapons and equipment over the years."
Cao Wenzhao frowned and said with a somewhat unhappy expression, "What? Someone is selling our weapons and equipment? Isn't the Imperial Household Department the one who has the final say in the north? They actually let people sell things?"
Since the Zhangjiakou case that year, there are not many people who dare to engage in smuggling business on the border.
Daning City has an open port, and even Zhangjiakou has an open trade port. Under such circumstances, everyone can do business and pay taxes in peace, and everyone will be safe. If you smuggle for profit, you may be executed along with your entire family.
In such a situation, there are not many people who would take risks. Except for some fierce criminals, few people would do so.
But even if they did so, there would be people around to investigate and punish them, and the soldiers didn't care about that. If they wanted to smuggle weapons, it was basically impossible.
After hearing what Cao Wenzhao said, Lu Xiangsheng said helplessly, "It was those people from the Imperial Household Department who did it. They were openly selling weapons in the capital, and most of them were the ones discarded by our royal guards."
"We sold them all our discarded armor, swords, and guns. Aside from bows and arrows, the Imperial Household Department has practically emptied the capital's warehouses in recent years. They sold all that junk to the Mongols."
"Both Khorchin and Inner Khalkha have been doing this quite a bit in recent years. And once Mongolian merchants leave Daning City, who on the grasslands can control where they go?"
"Many people sent these equipment to the Jiannu, and now they have also replaced their equipment."
"Didn't you sell bows and arrows?" Cao Wenzhao asked.
Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said with a smile, "They are not allowed to be sold. Most of these bows and arrows have been sent to other places, most of them to Sichuan and Yunnan, but they are not allowed to be sold in the north."
"What's there to be afraid of without a bow and arrow?" Cao Wenzhao looked nonchalant.
They have tried it before, and now this new type of rifle can penetrate armor like a piece of cake, and can kill a person with one shot.
Moreover, now it can shoot wherever it is pointed, with extremely high accuracy. Those in the army even started shooting at bird eyes with their guns, out of boredom.
In this situation, you can protect the person but not the horse.
