"I surrender." seeing the general trend, even the Lord general Amugulang didn't know whether to live or die. Facing the powerful momentum of the independent regiment, finally some Tatar cavalry threw down their weapons, jumped off their horses and knelt down on the ground.
Under the strong, more and more people chose to surrender. They don't look like Amugulang, who has benefited from taking off without sweat. They join the army just to make a living. I said, can't you see the existence of Tatar cavalry in the mercenary? Didn't they also surrender? That is, there is a precedent. It seems that everyone has no strong resistance to surrender.
Five thousand Tatar cavalry, two thousand killed and three thousand demoted. Hu Mang's Su He department only killed and injured less than 150 people, not even one tenth of the other party. This is definitely a big victory.
"Come on, take all the captives down to take care of them, but don't abuse them. Others push the artillery up and prepare to attack the city." after solving the enemy's 5000 cavalry, Hu mang set his eyes on Dalu city. He issued a military order to the young master yesterday, saying that he would capture the city today. He can't break his promise.
For others, it is undoubtedly difficult or even impossible to attack the strong city in one day, but for Hu mang with guns and muskets, it can't be anything at all.
Answer: under the tower of Lu city, I would like to say goodbye and see everything that happens below. Especially the moment he saw Amugulang die in the battle, his eyes soon became moist.
To say goodbye is a chess piece arranged by Tuotuo not to spend a lot of sweat around Amugulang, which is used to monitor him. In other words, in a way, they are not trusted, but he can see that Amugulang is not willing to believe all this. In the final analysis, it is the so-called art of balance, so the relationship between the two people is not very good at ordinary times. But anyway, I worked together for some time. Seeing this person die in front of me, it is more or less sad.
"General Amugulang, when one of you dies, my task has been completed. Next, I will try my best to defend the city, but..." but he didn't go on, because he already had a definition in his heart. But he also wanted to see the real power of mercenaries. He looked at the Tatar soldiers on the city tower and shouted, "everyone prepare bows and arrows. Once the enemy gets close to the city, shoot them back!"
Bow and arrow guarding the city, which is also the most commonly used method of guarding the city. If it's summer, they'll get a fire oil and a catapult, which will greatly increase their defensive ability.
Tatar soldiers still have a strong ability to shoot bows and arrows. At least the target rate is much higher than that of the Ming army, which is related to their childhood living environment. War horses and bows and arrows are always indispensable. But facing mercenaries with firearms, it's all a different matter.
"Send someone to shout and let them open the city and surrender, so we won't hurt the soldiers and people in the city. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." holding a telescope, Hu mang sniffed when he saw that the Tatar soldiers in Dalu city were still ready to resist with bows and arrows.
"I'll come." deputy head Xin Honghai took the task on his own initiative and rushed out on horseback with a self-made tin horn. When he came to a distance of 150 meters under the city, he stopped impressively, and then his loud voice had a chance to show. "The guards in the city listen..."
With the roar of Xin Honghai, the faces of the Tatar soldiers on the tower changed again and again. At this time, many people's eyes involuntarily fell on the general's farewell. Obviously, they all know that even the five thousand cavalry led by general Amugulang have been defeated. With their five thousand infantry without war horses, they can't resist at all.
There is only one way to fight, and there may be a way to live in surrender.
How can we not see the soldiers' thoughts of farewell? But if Lien Chan doesn't fight, he's really sorry for the dead Amugulang. So he also said loudly, "brothers, I know what you think, but after all, it's siege, not cavalry opposition. I think we still have the strength to defend. If we can't fight, it's not too late to surrender. I think everyone should still like the feeling of freedom."
Parting from such a good understanding of the people immediately brought waves of support from the soldiers. At present, the Tatar soldiers standing between the battlements are all staring at the mercenaries under the city. There is a picture that we will serve you with bows and arrows if you want to come.
After shouting several times, Xin Honghai didn't see any reply. He rode back to Hu mang again, spread his hands and said, "tiger head, they don't fall."
"Hehe, if you don't descend, you'll bring them down. Come on, prepare artillery to serve. The Musketeers come forward and shoot at the boundary of 200 meters. Other cavalry are ready to rush to the city with me." Hu mang has a confident face. With fire guns and artillery, it was just a Daru City, which was really not in his eyes.
The city was soon ready. More than 2000 gunmen from six battalions advanced slowly and stopped 200 meters before arriving at Dalu city. Then a long dragon was formed, placed in a word and aimed at the wall.
Above the tower, between the battlements, shebie was looking down with thousands of Tatar soldiers. Originally, they had prepared bows and arrows to hit the enemy head-on, but when they saw that the enemy was 200 meters away, they stopped. One by one, they looked down curiously and couldn't understand what the mercenaries were going to do next.
It's not their fault. Their understanding of fire guns is completely the impression given to them by Daming. At that time, the fire gun could only hit about 100 meters. It was not much different from the bow and arrow. The difference was that the lethality seemed to be greater. When they fought with the Ming army just now, because of the distance, they couldn't see at what distance Amugulang's cavalry was shot.
The Tatar soldiers also looked confused. The mercenaries of the six battalions would not be polite. Most of them are auxiliary soldiers, and some even have the quality to assess the real cold front. The training during this period has improved their strength. Now facing the enemy close at hand, it has long been full of war, and what is missing is only a shooting order.
Now, the order was finally issued. The right arm of Hu mang on the horse was raised and fell again. The trumpeter around him sounded the horn of permission to shoot. At the moment, the gunfire was so loud that countless bullets seemed to have eyes and flew straight towards the Tatar soldiers in Dalu city.
The Tatar soldiers who did not take the Musketeers under the city seriously without the slightest psychological defense suffered a great loss. One second after the gunshot sounded, the city tower showed the appearance of blood flowers one after another. At least hundreds of soldiers were shot and killed in an important position because they stretched out their heads without taking any precautions. Only some of them were lucky because the bullet hit the battlements wrongly, and Xinger escaped his life.
"Come on, all squat down and don't stand up." at the moment of the gunshot, he instinctively lowered his head and leaned against a battlement, so he escaped a disaster. But when he saw that many soldiers were shot by muskets because they didn't dodge, so they tilted their heads and died on the city tower, he couldn't help shouting loudly.
Actions speak louder than words.
There is no need to say goodbye and shout more. All the soldiers are frightened and find places to hide. They are even more surprised. What kind of fire gun is it? It's not only so far, but also so accurate. In the face of such weapons, who dares to show his head to release bows and arrows? What's the difference between it and looking for death?
Like other soldiers, there was a look of fear on the farewell face. He is a general, but he also has only one life, and being hit by a bullet is no better.
All Tatar soldiers found safe places to escape, so that they could not pose a threat to the mercenary soldiers under the city. At this time, the city towers seemed to tremble for a while. The mortars began to be powerful. After accurately aiming at the target, the two guns fired at the same time. One of them hit the gate of Lu city. After a loud bang, the seemingly heavy gate was completely blown open.
Along with them, dozens of Tatar soldiers holding huge wood on the city gate were blown up. Their task is to guard the city gate. The other side is cavalry. They should not be good at attacking the city. With one defense and one attack, the situation should be favorable to them.
Unexpectedly, the mercenaries were not polite to them at all. Just a double gun blast opened the city gate, which didn't even mean to fight a long-distance war.
The gate of the city opened wide, and the deputy commander Xin Honghai, who was riding on his horse, roared and rushed to Dalu city first. Behind him were 2000 independent regiment soldiers from five battalions.
Xin Honghai launched an all-out charge. Su He, the head of the Tatar cavalry regiment, was unwilling to show weakness. With the same cry, he led the army to follow him. While launching the charge, he suppressed the shock in his heart.
My God? The artillery power of mercenaries is too great. With such heavy weapons, what kind of cities can't be attacked and what kind of enemies can stop them?
The farewell general on the city tower was even more shocked. He could feel it from the vibration. The mercenaries should have opened the city gate. Now they feel the sound of people's iron hooves stepping on the ground. They are afraid to rush towards the city now.
Once waiting for them to enter the city, with the advantage of cavalry over infantry, what else can he resist? At this moment, his whole body suddenly felt powerless. He knew that Dalu city had changed its owner from this moment on.
