Chapter 296 Brave Western Xia Soldiers
Boom~ The inertia of running makes the war horse land very powerfully.
"Ah~"
Sigh ~ Sigh Rhythm ~~ The men and horses rolled to the ground, startling a large cloud of dust, and the screams of the people and horses were endless.
"Ahh This? "Why did the warrior fall with his horse more than a hundred meters away?
The Western Xia cavalry couldn't react for a while, when did the Han people's little bird gun become so powerful.
Boom~~ The cavalry is still mighty, the army is still surging, a thousand people is just a small matter, and the impact is only three or four thousand people in front, and the cavalry in the back doesn't care about the shock in front.
"Rush~"
"Kill~" The cheers of the cavalry in the rear instantly overshadowed the wails of a thousand men and horses.
Alas~ Even more than 20,000 war horses cheered together.
In the confusion of the Western Xia warriors, the firelight flickered again.
Bang Bang Bang Bang~~ When the piercing gunfire reached the brain, the cavalry felt incomparable pain, and then the bloody hole in his chest also took away all his strength.
More than 2,000 war horses landed, and many cavalry found out about the strange situation.
Frame ~ frame ~ ~ knights tried hard to control the steer of the war horse, they were a tentative attack but did not have the idea of fighting to the death.
"Third column shooting."
Bang bang bang~~ The panicked gunshots came out again.
"Ahh Retreat, retreat quickly~" General Ma Tiele, who gritted his teeth, had no joy at all, but fortunately he didn't take the lead in rushing or he would have died.
Alas, the law ~~ In fact, there is no need to give orders, and the cavalry and war horses all turn in unison. The war horses of the Tangut people eat grass as adults, but they are not the bloody and fierce Liaodong war horses or the hard-working Mongolian dwarf horses.
The general Haimeng at the head of the city didn't say a word, he felt that this time they Xixia people were in trouble! The Han Army really lives up to its reputation!
"What a firebolt is this! Is this impossible? "The backward, remote and closed Xixia Sanwei didn't know that if we were today, we had entered the era of firearms. Even the Manchurian Iron Cavalry had to admit the power of firearms.
The Mongols knew the power of the Han army's firearms, but they wouldn't tell the Tanguts.
30,000 cavalry came out in a rage, and then more than 20,000 cavalry fled back to the city in panic. The frightened soldiers of the Western Xia City Gate also hurriedly closed the city gate.
"Quick, each department taps the number of people." All he wanted to know now was how many people had been lost.
"It's the general!" The Commanders immediately received the order, and they also wanted to know.
After more than ten minutes, the number of talents who failed math was counted.
"General, there are six thousand fewer men and horses! Fortunately, only a thousand horses were slightly injured. "After repeated confirmation, they also came up with the result!
Ma Tiele glared: "What? Loss of six thousand centaurs? ”
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this was just a test! If there is an all-out attack, it will be annihilated!
"Good! Go and rest, all of you! With that, he bowed his head and walked to the city.
General Haimeng was still ignoring the Han army, and he didn't even look back, but he knew that behind him was: Ma Tiele, the fierce general of Western Xia!
"Say it! How about casualties. What kind of firearms did the Han army use?"
Ma Tiele immediately said bitterly: "Of the 30,000 horses, 6,000 have not returned!" A thousand war horses were also wounded! ”
"Six or seven thousand casualties! This! Hai Meng couldn't help but sigh!
"General, their firearms are very precise and powerful, and one or two hundred meters is a blood hole. Even if you have leather armor, you will be seriously injured within more than a hundred meters! I'm afraid that even if it is thick iron armor, it will be fatal within a hundred meters! The sound of fire guns continued, but fortunately, the retreat was timely! Ma Tiele hurriedly said the reason for his failure, not that he couldn't do it, but that the Han people began to disobey the rules again.
"That's it! Step aside! Hai Meng waved his hand to shut him up! Now he doesn't want to listen to this nonsense at all.
"Honorable Order!" Ma Tiele also breathed a sigh of relief! It's good that he wasn't punished!
In fact, General Haimeng was also extremely angry, but this battle: inhuman! It's really too strong for the Han army! The strength of the firearms array also made Hai Meng completely give up his plan to go out of the city to fight!
"It seems that we can only hold on to the city and wait for the Mongols to cut off their way back!" There are 200,000 soldiers in charge, but they can only shrink into the city, so General Haimeng is also very unwilling.
There was blood on the battlefield outside the city, but there were still 2,000 people who were slightly injured, and more than 2,000 war horses stood up one after another. Of the 6,000 people who fell, 2,000 fell in the confusion and were not hit by the orb, so they escaped.
The horses that stood up had been pulled away, and thousands of soldiers pointed their spears at the wounded soldiers.
"The deputy commander is going to kill them, or?" Wu Li sighed, as if it seemed a bit too much to kill them now!
Chen Chang is also a little embarrassed! "Killing captives is not a Han Chinese tradition! According to the rules of the lord: give them a sword, either fight to the death, or kneel and swear allegiance to the Yanhuang Empire. ”
"Okay, that's it! I wish they had chosen to take a knife. Wu Li smiled secretly, he didn't want to kill the prisoner, but he wouldn't show mercy when he killed the enemy.
After the discussion, Wu Li immediately went to the bloody battlefield, and several ox carts behind him also carried a few bundles of spare standard war knives.
"Get out of the way, it's Commander Wu." As soon as the firecrackers of the first division saw Wu Li, they quickly retreated, and they also wanted to know how the headquarters would deal with these wounded soldiers.
A group of cavalry approached, and the wounded soldiers immediately looked up.
"This, uncle, why don't the Han people treat our injuries yet?" The Han court was ruthless to the small people, but it liked to engage in a preferential policy of probation for these tribesmen. They would rather slaughter their own people than outsiders.
"Hey! Don't talk! It should be fine! The middle-aged soldiers were also curious, why did the Han army still look at them coldly. It's not supposed to be sending someone to welcome the privileges!
Seeing that the Xixia soldiers were not scared but a little surprised, Wu Li immediately sneered! The lord is right, he was really too kind to the tribe before! Let them want to harm the Han people whenever they have time.
"I don't care if you can understand Chinese or not, if you don't understand, you'll die. Now I will give you two choices, one is to immediately kowtow to the east and swear: to be loyal to the Yanhuang Empire for generations. Otherwise, you all take up arms and fight to the death against the Han army! ”
After Wu Li finished speaking, his personal guards also immediately threw several bundles of war knives in front of the Tangut people.
"Ah, what did he say?"
"What is this?" The vast majority of Tangut people could not understand Chinese.
They didn't understand it, but a few generals did, and the local tyrants of Western Xia all knew Chinese, and if they didn't understand, they couldn't trust the Ming Dynasty before.
"This, Han Jun is serious!" The general looked at the steel knife on the ground in a panic, the Han people are serious!
Soon, several commanders spread Wu Li's words to the ears of the two thousand wounded soldiers, but the Western Xia soldiers did not make a single move. Their pride makes them reluctant to bow to the Han Chinese.
Seeing that the Tangut people ignored themselves, Wu Li smiled!
"The armor stepped forward, and after eighteen steps, killed all those who did not kneel and kowtow."
"Honorable Order."
Chen Chang and Wu Li jointly formed the headquarters of the Northern Route Army, and under normal circumstances, Wu Li could also command the soldiers of the First Army.
The Tangut people were not afraid of them, which made the first division commander also very angry. "The armor soldier carries his gun forward, and whoever does not kowtow will be killed."
"Honorable Order." The warriors also looked at the Tangut people coldly, it was the Han people who were too kind to make these tribes forget the iron and blood of their Han people.
In those years, the Yanhuang tribe was distributed to various places on the Yellow River, and only the Han people could kill all the east, west, north and south. No tribe can stop the pace of the Han army, only the forest and sea desert, the Gobi mountains and the sea can stop the Han people's swordsmen.
The head of the gun flashed cold, this is to kill them? The Tangut people couldn't believe it.
"Ahh
"Quick, kneel and kowtow." The cold blade of the gun was approaching, and one of the commanders hurriedly took the lead and shouted on his knees.
"Quick, swear allegiance to the Yanhuang Empire together, or we will all die."
Under the leadership of a few commanders, hundreds of Western Xia soldiers also knelt on the ground one after another and begged for mercy, but there were still many warriors who did not believe that the cowardly and kind Han people really dared to kill them!
Seventeen steps, eighteen steps~ The commander of the first division suddenly shouted: "Kill." ”
"Kill~" The spearman, who had already been unable to bear it for a long time, immediately stabbed over.
Seeing the spearmen rushing, the brave Western Xia soldiers finally panicked.
"No, I swear, don't~".
The Tanguts hurriedly knelt on the ground, but the spearmen who had already locked on to their targets would not stop.
"Ah~no~no~" A miserable scream came, and more than a thousand Xixia soldiers quickly quieted down.
