Chapter 178: Death or Surrender

Even without Yuan Shu's musket team participating in the battle, the breakthrough offensive launched by the Azig organization was destined to save him from the fate of defeat now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In that wave of offensives, although there were many casualties among the Ming troops in the front row at the top of the innermost layer, the numerical advantage of the Ming army in the entire Dingzhou City is very obvious, even if a group dies, the latter ones can be made up soon, so although the desperate assault of Jianyu is not a small number of casualties to the Ming army, it will still be in vain after all.

After two rounds of Yuan Shu's musket fire, Azig, who was surrounded by hundreds of Jianyu in the core, kept shouting and ordering Jianyu to continue to attack outward, but once Jianyu's offensive stalled or contracted, it would be even more difficult to launch it again.

Soon, under the command of Mao Zhongming, the Ming army rushed up to Dongjiang Town, and once again surrounded Jianyu on the street in front of the Dingzhou official office. The Ming army of Dongjiang Town, which rushed up, although it blocked the shooting range of Yuan Shu Jinyi's musketeers, also strangled the desperate impact of Jianyu in the bud again and again.

In the end, Azig was surrounded by the elite of his Red Banner Jianyu and retreated to the Dingzhou government office again. And the hundreds of prisoners who remained on Yaqian Street were soon wiped out by the Ming army of Dongjiang Town, whose morale was getting higher and higher, and the Fuzhou army, which returned to the Ming anyway.

By this time, it was half past night. The rest of the scattered captives in Dingzhou City have either been surrounded or annihilated, and the shouts of killing in the city have gradually become scarce.

Azig, who was surrounded in the Dingzhou official office, and his elite Jianlu, who were already less than two Niu Lu, had no other way out, but they were still conceited and stubbornly resisted and refused to give in and surrender.

Mao Kexi, who was ordered to come to inform Mao Wenlong, the marshal of Dongjiang Town, about the situation of the battle, first reported to Mao Wenlong the news that the prisoners in the city had been wiped out, and then saw the situation that Mao Wenlong was facing now, and quickly suggested: "Marshal, the prisoners stationed in the Dingzhou military camp are also stubborn and refuse to surrender. Inferior people, from the east gate of the city to dismantle a number of tiger squatting cannons, a number of artillery bombardment will pass, the construction of countless casualties, now the Dingzhou military camp in the construction of the prisoner is either dead or surrendered. Why didn't the marshal bring artillery to bombard the gate of the official office?! As soon as this gate is broken, the captives have nothing to rely on, and our army rushes in, and the slave chiefs are difficult to fly even if they have wings! ”

At this time, Yuan Shu, who had already returned to Mao Wenlong's left and right with the Jinyi Guard musket team under his command, also stepped forward and said: "Marshal, what Mao Guerrilla said is very reasonable!" Although artillery is mostly used to defend the city in my Ming Dynasty, it is also used as a weapon for siege! ”

Listening to the words of these two people, of course Mao Wenlong did not hesitate, and immediately said to Mao Kexi: "In this case, immediately bring someone to bring the artillery here for backup." ”

Of course, Mao Wenlong knew the power and function of artillery, if it weren't for the fact that this time the minister took advantage of the night attack to carry artillery to affect the speed of travel, he would definitely have to bring several artillery pieces here, especially the Fran cannon that Mao Youde repeatedly boasted about, Dongjiang Town is still equipped with a lot of guns.

Mao Wenlong sent Mao Kexi to rush back to drag the tiger squatting artillery, and then ordered Mao Zhongming to lead the elite of the Chinese army in Dongjiang Town, as well as the Fuzhou soldiers under Liu Xingzuo, to divide the troops and control the entire Dingzhou official office, which was not large, to surround the entire Dingzhou official office, which was not large.

These things had just been arranged, and Mao Kexi over there rushed over with a group of people and others, carrying several tiger squatting cannons.

The Tiger Squat Cannon has a shorter range than the Furlong Cannon, and if it is used to siege a city, it is of course not as powerful as the Furlong Cannon. However, the Tiger Squat Cannon was even lighter than the Furlong Cannon, because its barrel was much thicker than the Furlong Cannon, but it was also much shorter.

If each tiger squat cannon does not have a gun carriage, it will only be about 200 catties. If you bring a gun carriage, it will be about three or four hundred.

Mao Kexi dismantled several tiger squat guns from the east gate of Dingzhou were all carried down with the gun mount. Using these tiger squat cannons, Mao Kexi helped Mao Chenglu easily break through the originally not very strong military camp of the original Dingzhou army, and used the tiger squat cannon to carry out scattered bombardment all the way, beating the more than 1,000 Jianyu Jurchen pigtailed soldiers who had nowhere to escape.

Now Mao Kexi, who has eaten the sweetness of two artillery attacks, once again pulled the tiger squat cannon that has always been inconspicuous in the Ming army to Mao Wenlong's eyes.

Mao Wenlong didn't say a word, and immediately ordered Mao Kexi to command the artillery attack. Mao Kexi commanded his subordinates, still using the method of mixing gunpowder with three pieces of gravel and iron, and quickly loaded several tiger squat cannons.

Mao Wenlong saw that Mao Kexi commanded his subordinates to complete the loading of the four tiger squat cannons, and then immediately ordered loudly: "Ignite the cannon!" Get ready to attack! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "Four tiger cannons squatted at the tightly closed gate of the official office, firing at the same time.

After only hearing the sound of four cannons, most of the originally thick gate of the official office had been blown to pieces, leaving only the door frame and the door shafts on both sides in place, and a large number of elite Jianyu who were originally hiding behind the gate were also knocked down at once, and kept wailing and rolling on the ground.

After a cannon bombardment, the enemy on the border ground lay on the ground and howled, which is exactly the battle scene that Mao Kexi likes to see the most.

Seeing this scene, Mao Wenlong was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Pass my order!" Dongjiang Town, Fuzhou soldiers, attack immediately! Attack the precinct for me right away! ”

The Ming army of Dongjiang Town, who was guarding in front of the gate, and the Fuzhou soldiers under Liu Xingzuo, all fought bravely to be the first, and soon completely knocked down the already broken gate and attacked it.

Many of the elite soldiers in the courtyard were injured by the scattered bullets and sawdust that came in after the tiger squat cannon penetrated the gate, and their combat effectiveness was naturally seriously damaged, and they were soon hacked to death in the courtyard by the morale-boosting Ming army and Fuzhou soldiers of Dongjiang Town.

Liu Xingzuo, Mao Zhongming, Mao Kexi and others, who rushed into the courtyard with a large number of soldiers, were not too interested in chasing and killing the ordinary soldiers with red flags who resisted stubbornly, and their goal was very clear, that is, Azig.

Soon, these people gathered in the backyard of the Dingzhou official office, and at this time, in this small backyard, hundreds of Ming troops and Fuzhou soldiers poured in, and nearly 100 last elites of Dingzhou City with red flags surrounded a rockery.

Liu Xingzuo saw at a glance that in the center of dozens of Jianguo, the general wearing a red flag uniform-colored cotton armor and a Jiannu arrow helmet on his head was the owner of the Red Flag and the Twelve Beyl Azig of the Dajin Kingdom who had humiliated his brother many times!

At the beginning of the night today, it was in front of this rockery that Liu Xingzuo took Liu Xingzhi and Jin Yingkui to meet Azig, and suffered another public humiliation from Azig.

Now, Liu Xingzuo rebelled with the Fuzhou soldiers, and surrounded Azig under the same rockery.

When Liu Xingzuo saw Azig, of course Azig also saw him. When Azig saw Liu Xingzuo coming in, he was furious at the moment, and scolded: "Liu Xingzuo, you wolf cub who can't be fed, my Dajin Kingdom has raised your brother for several years, but you will take revenge, and even lead the Ming army into the city, killing my Red Banner warriors!" You despicable Nikan! What else do you have to meet me right now?! ”

Liu Xingzuo saw that Azig was so annoyed, and only insulted himself angrily, but he was not angry at the moment, but said with a smile: "Lord Belle is really good at telling jokes!" How many brothers did I, Liu Xingzuo, have to surrender to the old slave back then, did the old slave treat our brothers as individuals?! I, Liu Xingzuo, a dignified descendant of Yan and Huang, a Chinese nobleman, were barked at by you Tartars, one by one, one by one, and one by one Han dog, but you regard this humiliation as a kind of kindness?! ”

After saying this, Liu Xingzuo smiled, spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and then said coldly: "Now that it has reached this point, don't put your twelve Baylors on the shelf anymore." Death or surrender, give a happy word! ”
