Just as Babur launched an attack on Sujiazhuang, Munch also commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to launch the first full-scale attack on Tanggu County.

Tens of thousands of Daxia people were driven by the Mengyuan iron horse, and ran quickly in the direction of Tanggu County, and those who were slightly behind were knocked away by the galloping war horse, rolled over a few times and fell to the ground, and then were caught up by the iron horse behind and trampled into meat paste.

Under the threat of death, no one dared to stop. Even if you can't run, you can't stop if you want to, and naturally there are countless people coercing you forward.

On the wall of Tanggu County, Hao Chengze, the magistrate of the county, looked at the tens of thousands of Daxia people outside the city with a pale face, and asked a little dazed: "Xiliang Gong, what about those people outside?" ”

Zhong Gang also frowned, as early as when he learned that the five county towns on the front line had fallen, he had a premonition that there would be such a day. Originally, he thought that the Meng Yuan army would massacre the city when it broke the city, but he didn't expect that they didn't do what he thought, but gathered the people and drove them to attack the city.

Reason told him that the best choice at this moment was to leave those people alone and let them be hunted down and killed by the Meng Yuan army. But in fact, there is no way to watch them die, otherwise even if Tanggu County is saved this time, he will be impeached by those officials in the court in the future.

Zhong Gang punched the city wall hard, with such force that blood even oozed from the knuckles of his fingers, and the blue brick of the city wall was even beaten by a corner. I only heard him shout coldly: "Open the city gate and let the people in." ”

"Archers pay attention, once there is a Mengyuan cavalry following closely behind, take advantage of the weakness, release arrows to this general, don't be afraid of accidental injury."

As soon as Zhong Gang said this, even Hao Chengze did not object. How can war not kill people?

The city gate slowly opened, and many people rushed in, and no one gave in to each other, but for a time the city gate was blocked, and no one could enter.

Xiahou Tai suddenly became anxious when he saw it, and shouted loudly for them to come in one by one, but no one listened! In a fit of rage, he drew his knife and hacked to death a few disobedient people, making the crowd desperately squeezed behind him stagnate, looking at the fierce Xiahou Tai, he no longer dared to squeeze together.

No one is stupid, and it would be too bad to die because of the way to survive.

With Xiahoutai's suppression, the people behind did not dare to make a mistake, and more and more people entered the city. Soon after two-thirds of the people entered Tanggu County, Xiahoutai could already see that the Mengyuan cavalry had chased closer, and the sound of rumbling iron hooves was in his ears.

He remembered the general's explanation, and shouted: "Come on, close the door!" ”

The city gate slowly closed again under the desperate eyes of the people of Great Xia behind. No one is a savior, and Nakatsuna is not capable of saving everyone. Besides, he also knew the priority of the matter, if he saved a few people and let the entire Tanggu County fall under the iron hooves of Meng Yuan, then more people would die.

Listening to the heart-rending pleading voices under the city, Hao Chengze's face was unbearable, "Xiliang Gong, is there really no way to save them all?" ”

Zhong Gang looked at the position of the military camp in Meng Yuan's army, and asked coldly: "How to save it?" Didn't you see that the Mengyuan cavalry had already caught up? Moreover, in the last group of people, there must be a lot of Meng Yuanjun's meticulous work, and if they are let in, something big will happen. ”

"What's more, if so many people are let in, will the food and drinking water supply from the city come over? Didn't you notice that Meng Yuanjun had cut off the water source upstream, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still many wells in the city, I'm afraid it would be a problem to even drink water now. ”

Hao Chengze was silent, withdrew his gaze from the people under the city, and Chong Zhonggang arched his hand and said: "Xiliang Gong, the matter of defending the city will be handed over to you, and the next official will go to settle the newly rescued people first." ”

Zhong Gang nodded, thinking about how to defuse the next wave of the Meng Yuan army's offensive.

……

……

Babur circled around Sujiazhuang, and found that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he beckoned a centurion and ordered: "Go to the nearby village to see if there are any living people, and arrest all of them to fill the pit, I don't believe that they will be cruel to their own villagers." ”

The centurion saluted and replied in a loud voice, "Yes!" Then he galloped away with his hundred cavalry in the direction of Da Lei Village.

Su Ziheng took off the binoculars hanging around his neck, his face changed, and he muttered to himself: "Are they trying to go to the village to arrest people?" ”

Thinking of this, he turned his head to Li Dashan on the side and asked anxiously: "Uncle Li, did you go to the village a few days ago and tell Li Cunzheng that once you heard an emergency bell ringing in our manor, you should quickly dodge to prevent the enemy from attacking the village?" ”

Li Dashan obviously understood the direction of the departing cavalry, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the master's words, the little one has already said it." I just wonder if there will be people who won't listen? ”

Su Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as we remind them, as for whether they listen or not, it's not something we can control." Besides, just catching a few living people will not help at all. ”

He was afraid that the whole village would be captured to open the way, so even if he had a grenade, he wouldn't dare to use it easily. Otherwise, once the explosion really kills many villagers in Dalei Village, I am afraid that Sujiazhuang will not be able to gain a foothold here in the future.

Soon, the centurion came back with the group, shook his head at Babur, and said, "General, the village is empty. ”

"Empty?" Babur flicked his horsewhip and made a bang in the air, "The untouchables fled quickly, but he thought that no one would open the way, so General Ben really couldn't do anything about him?" ”

"Ben will command these thousands of elite horsemen, but if they fight with the real sword and real guns of the Rakshasa Kingdom, how can they be blocked by a small manor? Come on, give Ben an attack! ”

Babur raised the scimitar in his hand and slashed downward, and suddenly a thousand horsemen behind him screamed and galloped up.

Su Ziheng leaned on the women's wall, coldly watching the movements of the Mengyuan cavalry below, and seeing that they dared to launch a strong attack, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's good to come, this trip lets you know the power of the grenade." ”

"Maybe Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry was very powerful on the battlefield in the past, but from today onwards, you are about to become a thing of the past. A new era is coming! ”

Su Ziheng's voice suddenly raised, and he shouted loudly: "All of them, prepare for a grenade attack." Prepare ......"

Looking at the Mengyuan cavalry who had crossed the trench below, Su Ziheng raised the red order flag in his hand, "Release!" ”

As the preparations began, all the guards armed with terracotta grenades picked up their fire folds and lit the fuses on the grenades as they had done in the previous exercise.

When they heard the "put", they desperately threw the grenades in their hands in the direction of the cavalry rushing.

As Babur pressed the line behind, he wondered why the defenders on the opposite side had stopped firing arrows and spears instead of throwing arrows and spears, and were about to laugh at their stupidity, how much damage a stone could inflict on the cavalry.
