The guide replied, "It's good that it's the same sect, but the Heavenly Fang Sect is divided into two major factions, and each of these two sects sees each other as infidels. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven within the two major factions, there are multiple branches, and they don't like each other, and they all think that each other is heretical. Sometimes, heretics are more odious than heretics. ”

The loyal battalion was also attacking at any cost, and while the cannon fodder soldiers in front were attacking the city, Li Laiheng ordered that small cannons such as tiger squat cannons and Franc machines should reach the head of the city, and fire at the head of the city fifty paces away.

Rainstorm of shrapnel rained down on the city, causing scarlet fog barriers to fill the city. Because the new annex of the loyal battalion was climbing the city wall, the shrapnel damage area was large, and it was often bombarded with a single cannon, not only the Turks at the head of the city fell, but the new annexed troops who were climbing the ladder to the city also fell from the improvised ladder to the ground in pieces.

"God forbid! Kill the earth dog and go to heaven! The morale of the new annexed army, which had suffered heavy losses, was still high, shouting slogans, and desperately climbed to the top of the city.

The new annex in front fell, and the people behind climbed the ladder again. One ladder fell, more ladders were erected, the walls were crawling with new annexes, and at the foot of the walls, corpses piled up into a hill.

"Let's get on the elite of so-and-so! Five hundred musketeers, able to protect the new annex army from the city. Lee Kwang-chi suggested.

"Don't worry, the morale of the new annex army is high, and when they can't hold it anymore, your people will make a move." Lee Rae-hyung is not in a hurry. He didn't care how many people died in the new annex army, as long as he captured the city and opened the way into the Yarkand Khanate, Li Laiheng believed that the loyal battalion would be able to sweep all the way through.

The resistance of the Turks at the head of the city became more and more tenacious, not only the Turkic soldiers resisted at the head of the city, but also the young and middle-aged people in the city, even women, children, the old and the weak, climbed to the top of the city, desperately smashed down the city with weapons such as rolling wood and stones, fire oil, gold juice, and earth-shaking thunder.

Even if a few of the newly attached soldiers climbed to the top of the city, they were quickly surrounded by the Turks and all of them were slashed at the head of the city.

Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, Li Laiheng finally put down his subordinates and invited Li Guangdi's elite musketeers to help.

"Don't worry! The elite musketeers of the Qiongzhou Army will not disappoint the marshal! Li Guangdi stroked his beard and smiled.

Five hundred musketeers were dispatched, and four hundred and fifty breech-loading rifled gunners formed a formation on the ground, and slowly approached the city wall eighty paces away and stopped; Fifty Minnie riflemen boarded the small watchcar and the auxiliaries pushed it to a hundred paces from the city wall.

"Put!" The musketeers waved the small flag in their hands.

One hundred and fifty breech-loading rifled guns spewed light blue smoke and bullets rained down on the city. The rifled guns hit far and accurately, a volley of bullets flew up the city, and the Turks standing on the walls of the city defended the city like peeled onions, and the front piece was beaten into a hornet's nest and fell.

The rifled gunner, who had finished firing the bullet, crouched down and pressed down on the butt, which formed an angle between the butt and the barrel, revealing the chamber behind it. The breech-loading rifled gunner takes out a copper-bottomed paper cartridge from the bullet pouch on his waist, uses the bullet to pry out the copper-bottomed plate remaining in the chamber, and then stuffs the bullet into it, and then presses the butt, and the butt and barrel return to a straight line, and the loading is completed. There are also gunmen who do not use bullets to pry out the copper baseplate, but turn the gun around, and the copper base plate falls to the ground, and then the bullet is stuffed inside.

While the first row of musketeers was loading, the second row of musketeers stood up and pulled the trigger, then crouched down to reload, and the third row of musketeers pulled the trigger and fired the bullets.

Originally, the rate of fire of the rear-loading rifled gun was much faster than that of the front-loading gun, and the three-stage firing method was adopted, and the rate of fire of the bullets was comparable to that of the semi-automatic rifles of later generations, and a round of gunfire could be fired almost every second, and the four hundred and fifty muskets did not stop firing for a moment, and took turns to rain bullets on the city.

Fifty Mini sharpshooters standing on the watchtower also fired at the city, and although the Mini bullets took longer to reload and the rate of fire was slightly slower, the guns had a long range and were extremely powerful. The new Mini rifle is a new special rifled gun, specially equipped for snipers and skirmishers, the bullet has a powerful kinetic energy, and a single bullet can penetrate a dense crowd, often piercing several people. These fifty sharpshooters were all veterans of a hundred battles, shooting condescendingly, and every bullet fired was greeted to the densest place in the crowd, and it was not a problem to kill two or three Turks with one bullet. One sharpshooter with the most kills with one bullet, one of his bullets pierced five Turks in a row!

Although there were only 500 musketeers, they had an overwhelming advantage in weapons, and the Turks at the head of the city suffered heavy casualties, and were so suppressed that they could not raise their heads at all.

"Kill!" Zhao Liangdong saw that the time was ripe, pulled out his sword, and pointed to the city.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the loyal battalion, who were adapted from the original Ganshan Green Battalion, carried a simple ladder, crossed the corpses everywhere, rushed to the city wall, and set up a simple ladder.

In the earth-shattering shout, the first batch of elite hand-to-hand soldiers of the Ming army climbed up to the top of the city, waved their machetes and shields, and slashed hard in the crowd, and the heads of the surrounding Turks rolled to the ground. Soon, the Ming army gained a firm foothold in the city. More and more Ming troops climbed to the top of the city, both new attached soldiers and elite veterans.

The sound of killing in the city of Huozhou shook the sky, and the two sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle in the city.

Although the Turks resisted stubbornly, it was a pity that their combat effectiveness was too poor, and after losing the advantage of the defense of the city walls, the Turks were no match at all. Soon, the Turks at the head of the city were defeated by the Ming army.

The city gate tower was captured by the Ming army, the city gate was wide open, and groups of Ming troops poured into the city.

Suffering heavy losses and enraged by the new annexed army, after conquering Huozhou, they slaughtered the Turks in the city. Because many people in the new annex army are brothers and friends in the same army, and some people are even father and son in the same barracks. During the siege battle, many of the new annexed soldiers who died were relatives and friends of the new annexed soldiers who were still alive. Seeing the tragic death of his relatives and friends, the new annexed army that invaded the city lost their minds and slaughtered the Turks in the city.

Li Laiheng did not stop the new annex army from killing the Turks, after all, the losses of those cannon fodder were too great, and they had to be given a chance to vent in order to improve their morale.

In fact, this point is similar to the principle of the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan, the Hunan army is also brothers and friends, and even father and son are in the army, every time they fight, they will be angry when they see their relatives killed. After conquering the city, the Hunan army, which had been corrupted by military discipline, relied on killing and looting to boost morale.

It's just that Huozhou City is too small, and there is nothing to plunder. The new annex army invaded the city, and after a day of slaughter, the Turkic men in the city were basically killed, and the rest became prisoners. All the Turkic women in the city became the spoils of the loyalty camp, and the Turkic children became slaves.
