Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army was about to pounce on them like lions, Lin Chengxiang decisively stopped: "What kind of competition is it with these people who are about to die?" Your lives are precious, with grenades. ”

Lin Chengxiang's words, the Mongolian cavalry did not understand, but the Ming cavalry understood, they untied the grenade from their waists, then pulled out the lead, and quietly watched the grenade emitting white smoke.

When the Ming army unleashed the grenade just now, the Mongols were stunned, not knowing what tricks the Ming army was going to play, seeing the white smoke on the grenade, they seemed to understand, but they had been surrounded by the Ming army, and it was impossible to escape, so they could only wait for the next move of the Ming army.

The next move of the Ming army was relatively neat, that is, to collectively throw grenades at the Mongols.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

After the grenade was delayed in the hands of the Ming soldiers, it was already about to explode, and as soon as it was thrown on the Mongols' bodies, it began to explode.

Many grenades exploded in the arms of the Mongol cavalry, and their leather armor simply could not withstand the shock wave when the grenade exploded, not to mention the metal fragments produced during the explosion.

Blood slowly ran down the horse's legs and quickly burrowed into the grass.

The loud noise made the war horse tremble, but without the soldier's order, the war horse still stood in place, unless it was a casualty.

Before the Mongol cavalry could recover from their stupor, another wave of thunderstorms swept towards them.

Hundreds of Mongol cavalry, many of whom were wounded, fell from their horses as if they had all been dealt with after being hit by grenades many times.

Either the man is injured or the horse is injured.

After the Ming army dealt with this group of Mongolian cavalry, it was only then that the remaining Tibetan soldiers on the battlefield were discovered.

The Tibetan soldiers spontaneously got up from the grass after Tulubaihu fled, and they began to secretly flee while the attention of the Ming army was all on the Mongol cavalry.

After the Ming army had eliminated the Mongol cavalry, they had fled to a distance of 500 paces.

Five hundred steps, for a cavalryman, is less than a minute.

When Lin Chengxiang did not issue a military order, the cavalry of the Ming army cut off the escape route of the Tibetan soldiers.

Seeing that the Ming cavalry riding a tall horse had surrounded them, the Tibetan soldiers were panicked except for their weak legs.

I don't know who started it, but they all shouted something in Tibetan.

It is a pity that none of the soldiers of the Ming army can speak Tibetan, and the interrogations in Tibetan are all in the Chinese army, and they are still hundreds of steps away.

Regardless of whether they were armed or not, these Tibetan soldiers who were still attacking the Ming army's position just now were the enemies of the Ming army, and now they are still threatening the Ming army with words.

The cavalry was disorganized, and most of the Tibetan soldiers were killed and wounded, and some of the Tibetan soldiers were trampled to death and injured by horses' hooves.

The detective, who was still in the Chinese army, felt that the situation was not right, and he seemed to hear that the Tibetan soldiers were going to surrender, so he hurriedly rushed to the battlefield in front.

It's late, it's too late.

When the detectives arrived at the battlefield with the army, the Ming army had already killed all the Tibetan soldiers, and the interrogation could only see the red blood of the Tibetan soldiers, which stained the grass red.

Safflower is still safflower, and green leaves become red leaves.

The battle was over, the battlefield was full of corpses and wounded soldiers, and Lin Chengxiang was about to ask the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

"Junzao, Kemu is only fifteen miles away from here, if you don't hurry up and besiege the city, the Mongols and Tibetans may have to escape, if they escape from the city, it will not be easy to find them again."

"However, the soldiers have just experienced a decisive battle, where do they still have the strength to run?" Lin Chengxiang also wanted to besiege the city, but the soldiers who did not participate in the battle were only thousands, and let them go to besiege the city, which was obviously less.

"Commander, let's let the cavalry be the vanguard, the cavalry is fast."

"Cavalry? In this battle, the cavalry suffered the greatest losses, and the brothers suffered a lot of casualties, right? "Lin Chengxiang's most distressed thing is the cavalry, the infantry did not fight hand-to-hand, but there were no casualties.

"Throne, let the wounded brothers stay first, and the soldiers who are not injured or not seriously injured should rush to the siege first."

Lin Chengxiang can think about it, the distance of fifteen miles, for the cavalry, is less than the time of a bag of cigarettes, although the terrain here is a little higher, but the Yunnan soldiers originally lived on the plateau, from the scene of the cavalry fighting with the Mongols just now, the terrain has little impact on them, "How many cavalry are not injured?" ”

After a simple count, the number of uninjured cavalry was close to six thousand, and of course, some lightly wounded soldiers directly treated themselves as unwounded.

6,000 cavalry, plus more than 4,000 infantry rode on the ownerless war horse, more than 10,000 people of the Ming army went first to surround Kemu, Lin Chengxiang sent 5,000 infantry, and set off at the same time, and the rest of the infantry had to clean up the battlefield, take care of the wounded soldiers, transport baggage, and set off tomorrow.

At noon the next day, Lin Chengxiang arrived at Kemu with the rear army.

The front army has surrounded the city of Kemu on all sides, because the city of Kemu is backed by the Angqu River, the heavy troops of the Ming army are concentrated in the east and north, and the west and south are facing the river, the terrain is narrow, and the army cannot be exerted, only the cavalry of the Ming army is paraded, preventing the Mongolians and Tibetans in the city from fleeing from the chain bridge.

Seeing that the victory was about to arrive, Lin Chengxiang was not in a hurry, he asked the soldiers to eat first and attack the city in the afternoon.

But the division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders couldn't wait, and they had just had lunch, and they were clamoring to be pioneers.

Lin Chengxiang asked the 6,000 cavalry of three divisions to continue to parade the west and south of the city, the 60th Division defended the north city gate, and the east city gate was the most open, as the focus of the attack, the 58th Division served as the main attack, and the 59th Division entered the city after the 58th Division as a reserve force.

The only ten artillery pieces of the Twentieth Army were also concentrated outside the East City Gate.

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

……

The artillery took the lead in the siege battle, and ten guns, all aimed at the city gate or city wall, opened fire.

The defenders who had gathered at the head of the city suddenly disappeared, and they didn't know whether they were dead or ran.

But after five rounds of bombardment, not only did the city wall not move, but even the city gate was not breached.

"Stop shelling!" Since the flowering shells couldn't penetrate the city wall, Lin Chengxiang didn't want to waste the flowering shells, so he stopped the artillery, "Could it be that Kemu is a strong city?" ”

"Junzuo, this is the government of Duogandusi, the city was built by the Han people, and it is likely to be a strong city."

Lin Chengxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, since there was no way to do it on the city wall, he had to make up his mind at the city gate, "There is no moat in Kemu City, and it is easier to enter the city gate hole, can you find a way to blow up the city gate?" ”

"Junza, the Liaodong Army has experience in blowing up city gates with a large number of grenades."

"Grenade? Liaodong Army? Lin Chengxiang remembered that he had studied the battle examples of the Liaodong Army at the military academy, and there was indeed such a thing, "However, when the grenade explodes, the fuse must be pulled out, in such a short period of time, how can the soldier who has removed the fuse escape to a safe area?" ”

"This ......" because it has not been used, no one can say, and in the end, one of Lin Chengxiang's personal soldiers came up with a solution: "Military seat, you don't need to pull out the lead, just fix the grenade on the city gate, and then tie the lead together, tie a long rope, and lead it to the outside of the city gate hole, and the soldier pulls the rope hard from outside the city gate hole, and the lead will be pulled out." ”

"Great idea!" Lin Chengxiang was overjoyed, "But there is a new problem, how to fix the grenade on the city gate, if the city gate is wooden, it is easy to say, if it is iron, it cannot be fixed at all." ”

"The military seat, you don't need to fix it, just place the grenade in front of the city gate and press it with a boulder."

"That's it." Lin Chengxiang thought about it and felt that it was feasible, besides, he had no other way, if it didn't work once, it was a big deal to come a few more times, anyway, the city gate hole was a blind spot for the defenders, and the soldiers were hiding there to work, which was very safe.

The artillery fired again, and now the target was inside the city, and Lin Chengxiang hoped to drive away the defenders at the head of the city, and it would be best to blow them up, so that the soldiers could safely enter the city gate.

After two rounds of shelling, the gunners of the Ming army came to the city and fired at the defenders who did not exist on the city, as long as the defenders did not dare to show their heads.

Three soldiers carrying a large number of grenades, and four soldiers carrying a huge stone in a grain truck, quietly entered the city gate as the defenders retreated into the city.

Seven soldiers fiddled in the city gate cave for a long time, Lin Chengxiang was anxious, just as he was about to send soldiers to check what was, seven soldiers came out with a grain truck, and one of the soldiers was holding a long rope in his hand.

"They're finally out."

The soldiers lowered the grain cart to the right side of the city gate, and waited for the six soldiers to move away from the city gate before the seventh soldier struggled to pull the rope.

As soon as the rope was released, the soldier threw it down, turned around and ran.

"Boom ......"

The loud noise shook the Ming soldiers who were a hundred paces away with a burst of tinnitus, but fortunately, the distance was far, and their ears quickly recovered their hearing.

"How? Did the gates blow open? ”

"Back to the military seat, the city gate was blown open, but it was only a small piece below, and it turned out that the city gate was made of iron."

"Just a small piece?" Lin Chengxiang thought for a while, "It's okay, let the soldiers bring iron rods and pry the hole open, as long as the soldiers can pass guò, the fifty-eighth division, prepare to enter the city." ”

The defenders at the city gate were either blown up or stunned, and after the Ming army entered the city, their fate was the same, and the Ming army would never allow there to be a living defender at the city gate.

The 59th Division then also entered the city, and they divided into varying numbers and began to meet the Ming troops outside the city to enter the city, chasing and killing the defenders inside the city.

Among the defenders in the city, the 10,000 soldiers of Lin Cong Tusi were annihilated by the Ming army outside Bangda and Kemu respectively, Derge Tusi was also annihilated by the Ming army outside the city with 5,000 soldiers, and the 15,000 cavalry of Tulu Baihu were only more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated general, and they had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and only Derge Tusi still had 5,000 Tibetan soldiers left.

Five thousand Tibetan soldiers, in front of the 30,000 Ming army, were quickly slaughtered, but the Ming army did not know the number of defenders in the city, after killing the five thousand defenders, continued to clear in the city, anyone suspected of being a defender, whether it was a Mongolian or a Tibetan, would be slaughtered by the Ming army, even Tulu Baihu also died in the chaos.

After the killing stopped, the Ming army began to search for property in the city, especially the hinterland of the temple and the two major tusi, which was turned upside down, of course, because it was the enemy of the Ming army, ordinary houses were also thoroughly searched by the Ming army.

The Ming army executed Lin Cong and Dege, the two great Tusi, who oppressed the Tibetans and the Han people, along with their families, in public.

But the large number of Tibetans and Mongolians in the city gave Lin Chengxiang a headache.

In the entire Kemu area, there were originally more than 80,000 Tibetans, plus the Mongols of the Heshuo Special Department, the total number exceeded 140,000, after the arrival of the Ming army, most of these people hid in the city, and now they are at the disposal of the Ming army.

If all these people are killed, there are still many Tibetans outside the city, once the information leaks out, the Ming army will definitely become a devil and monster in the eyes of the Tibetans in the future, and it will be difficult to recover the hearts of the Tibetans.

I don't know when it began, there was a rumor in the city: the Ming army hated the Mongols very much, and they must be killed, and every Tibetan only needs to kill one Mongol, regardless of the old, weak, women, and children, he can get the forgiveness of the Ming army and restore his freedom.
