After lunch, Di Qing gave an order, and the Jiang family army officially began to attack the city.

The first to fire was still the fifty field guns and ten redcoat cannons of the Shenji Battalion.

Before the cannon officially starts firing, it must first have a round of test firing to correct the angle of firing.

Boom, boom, sixty cannons exploded, sixty cannonballs crossed the parabola in the sky, and smashed on the city wall of Gaizhou, and suddenly the bricks and stones splashed, causing screams on the city wall.

The artillery position of the Jiang family army was also filled with white smoke, which was caused by the insufficient combustion of yellow powder.

"Adjust the shooting angle of the whole group." The deputy lieutenant of the Shenji Battalion walked back and forth on the position, directing the various artillery squads to adjust the firing angle according to the firing effect of the first round.

"The first squad has been adjusted, the second squad has been adjusted, and the third squad has been adjusted......"

The various squads were adjusted one after another, and the reports of the various artillery commanders rang out one after another.

"Alright, start loading and get ready for the second round of launches!" The deputy lieutenant of the Shenji Battalion ordered loudly.

The 60 guns were busy and orderly to reload, first using a long wooden pole wrapped in a damp cloth to reach into the chamber to clean up the gunpowder residue left by the insufficient combustion of the gunpowder, then reloading, then to penetrate the fuse from the tail of the gun, and finally to reload.

All the artillery was methodically busy.

The soldiers of the Mongolian Chahar Department who were about to watch the excitement next to them all had shocked looks on their faces, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and finally everyone's eyes are focused on their Khan Geldan.

Geldan was also shocked in his heart, he thought that the siege of the Jiang family army would be the same as theirs, using traditional ladders to attack the city, and the archers would cover it. But he didn't expect that the sixty artillery pieces of the people slipped like this, the torches were so little, and a round of shells flew out, and the city wall of Gaizhou instantly turned into a pockmarked face.

And listening to the screams on the wall, I thought that the rubble had also injured many of the defenders.

For the Mongols, the way they are familiar with combat is mounted archery, and even in their hearts, only mounted archery is the ability to truly run rampant in the world.

But the Jiang Jiajun in front of him taught him a vivid lesson in a way that he couldn't have imagined, letting him know what a real siege is.

Gerdan's heart was mixed at this time, he didn't know whether to be depressed or happy, and he didn't know what to say when he looked at the eyes of the soldiers around him.

Although Di Qing agreed to Geldan's submission, he was still wary of him, judging from the formation pattern of the Jiang family's army, the 6,000 people of the Chahar department were surrounded by the Jiang family's army.

He saw the reaction of the Chahar Department, but he was silent, and when he was about to give the order to officially start the siege, suddenly Sima Wang Hao, the Chinese army next to him, shouted loudly:

"Look, general, what's that on the top of the city?"

Di Qing's eyes froze, and he looked at the city, as if a white flag had been erected from the city.

White flag? Are the defenders of the city going to surrender? Di Qing had doubts in his heart. Although he concluded that it would not be difficult to take Gaizhou City, he never thought that it would be so easy.

In the morning, more than 1,000 Mongols died, and the walls were not touched. Jiang Jiajun scared the defenders into surrendering with just one round of shells?

"Clairvoyance!" Di Qing let out a low sigh and stretched out his hand. Wang Hao next to him hurriedly handed the monoculars to Di Qing.

Now this clairvoyant mirror, the generals of the Jiang family army above the commander of the thousand commanders have one each, and it is the most convenient to observe the enemy's situation.

Di Qing took the clairvoyant mirror, looked in the direction of the city wall for a moment, and finally determined that what was erected on the top of the city was a white flag. And as if to make myself see more clearly, the white flag was simply twice as big as the ordinary flag.

"Go, send men to the city to ask if they want to surrender, and if they want to surrender, let them open the gates, throw away their weapons, put their heads in their hands, and come out of the city to line up to surrender. As long as they surrender, General Ben guarantees their lives. Give them a stick of incense to prepare. If you dare to play tricks, the artillery will continue to attack the city. ”

Di Qing immediately made a decision and ordered in a deep voice.

Two horses flew out of his side and ran in the direction of the city wall.

"General, they didn't continue to fire. You must have seen the white flag we had. At the head of the city, a good soldier who was hiding in the city gate tower and looking down shouted loudly.

Shang Kexi was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly squeezed to the lookout to look down, and happened to see the two horsemen rushing over, knowing that this must be sent by the Jiang family army to spread the word, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers next to him to go out and have a look.

The two cavalrymen of the Jiang family army galloped to the bottom of the city wall, and as soon as they pulled the reins, the two high-headed horses neighed, and the people stood up and stopped their steps, but the knights on the horses did not move at all.

This beautiful riding skill made many Han Eight Banner Qing soldiers on the city secretly applaud in their hearts.

"Listen, you at the head of the city, if you want to surrender, open the gates, throw away your weapons, and go out of the city with your heads in your hands and surrender. Our general guarantees you your lives. If the city gate hasn't been opened after a stick of incense, then don't blame us for continuing the artillery attack. ”

The two knights took turns shouting this passage to the head of the city several times to make sure that the Qing troops in the city heard it clearly, and then rode back to their headquarters.

Shang Kexi's personal soldiers who heard this paragraph hurriedly ran back to the city tower to tell Shang Kexi, and after finishing speaking, they looked at Shang Kexi with blank eyes, waiting for him to make a decision.

The Qing army at the head of the city also had no mind at this time, and many people had already put down their weapons in their hearts the moment the white flag was raised.

At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the location of the city tower, waiting for Shang Kexi to give the order to open the city gate.

Even some radical generals secretly planned that if Shang Kexi hesitated again, they would take their men to open the city gate and surrender.

Shang Kexi is a man who can afford to let go, and since he has made the decision to surrender, there is no reason to hesitate. Soon the decision was made to lay down all of their arms, open the gates, and go out of the city to surrender.

The Qing soldiers who heard the order couldn't wait to throw their swords, guns, and guns on the ground one by one, and the originally solemn atmosphere suddenly relaxed, as if they were not preparing to surrender but had won a great victory.

Shang Kexi, who walked out of the city tower, saw the soldiers like this, his heart was mixed, he sighed, and ordered the captain of the personal army to take someone to open the west city gate in person, and took the lead in unsheathing his saber and walking towards the city gate with his head in his hands.

Looking at the slowly opening gate of Gaizhou West City, as well as the group of Qing troops with their heads in their hands, their expressions relaxed and worried, they walked out of the city in an endless stream, Di Qing believed that they had really surrendered.

At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Jiang family army had already gone up to divide these surrendered Qing soldiers into groups and put them in custody, and asked them to untie their belts, and then tie their arms with their trouser belts to each other in a long line to prevent them from making trouble.

The city gates in the other three directions were also opened one after another, and the Jiang army was surrendered in the past.

Di Qing's lieutenant personally led a team of men and horses into the city to search, and after confirming that all the defenders in the city had surrendered, Di Qing took the men and horses into the city.

Seeing that the defenders who had suffered heavy casualties in the morning simply surrendered after the Jiang family army released a round of artillery, the Mongol soldiers in the Chahar Department were all dumbfounded.

Especially Geldan, who was about to gloat and see that Jiang Jiajun was also unlucky, his eyes almost fell out. He stood where he was, watching the meek sheep-like defenders go out of the city and surrender, a fire bubbling up in his heart, and a sour breath fermented and swelled in his heart.

He slowly understood that these defenders of the Han Eight Banners just wanted to get along with him, so they would fight back like death in the morning.

Thinking about this, he couldn't wait to slash Shang Kexi with a knife.

"Khan, what are we going to do now?" A confidant next to him leaned over and asked.

"What to do? Of course, I went to congratulate him! Gerdan gritted his teeth and snorted, then mounted his horse and headed in the direction of Di Qing.
