Chapter 232: Annihilated under the Tianjin Acropolis
Although the Tartars did not believe it, but the fact is that the three-sided encirclement has long been formed, thousands of soldiers, in regiments and battalions, are holding rear-loading muskets, are pressing over from the periphery, and begin to shoot the Tartars, 35,000 soldiers, forming a huge encirclement, encircling the Tartars outside the Tianjin Acropolis, an area with a radius of only one or twenty square kilometers.

"Gather all the surrendered troops to rush in front, and the thick shield soldiers and musket battalions follow, concentrate your forces, and rush in the direction of Langfang!" Dodor gave the order.
In order to break through the encirclement of the soldiers, Duoduo also knew that he would have to pay heavy casualties, and Duoduo still asked the black-bellied troops to rush to the front as cannon fodder, and then his own musketeers followed behind and shot.
There were three musket battalions from the Tartars, two of which suffered heavy losses, but one of them was intact, and Dordor was ready to use this musket battalion, ready to rely on the fire of the musket battalion, and then with thousands of troops rushing in front of him, trying to rush out.
The Tartar heralds were quick to deliver the order, and at least thousands of troops were organized and ready to serve as cannon fodder again at the front.
Let's talk about the composition of these people here, it is true that Duoduo brought 70,000 or 80,000 people, but a large part of them were the surrender of the Ming Dynasty or the surrender of the previous Dashun army, and these people accounted for nearly half.
It is precisely because there are a large number of surrendered troops that the number of Tartars has reached 70,000 or 80,000, in addition to this part of the surrendered army, some are Mongolian cavalry, the number is about 10,000, in addition to some of the people of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, it is estimated that there are thousands, and the rest are the real Tartars.
Duoduo's own white flag came with the army of about 10,000 people, and these more than 10,000 people were real Tartars and the elite of the Tartars, in addition, the three musket battalions brought by Duoduo were nearly 10,000 people, and two artillery battalions.
After the shelling just now, the Tartars suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but the main force is still there, and now there are more than 60,000 people left, but the morale is low, and they are surrounded by 30,000 thousands of soldiers.
Duoduo also wanted to rely on the fact that he still had 60,000 thousands of people in his hands, and the loss of more than 10,000 elites with white flags was not large, so Duoduo wanted to rush out.
Distance.
This group of people is at least thousands, but at a glance, you can know that this group of people is definitely not the elite of the Tartars, from the military appearance, morale, and even clothing, it can be seen that this is a surrender army, like this surrender army, the total number of people is at least 20,000 or 30,000.
These people silently watched the other army in the distance under the obscenity of the Tartars, heading towards the direction, many people in this army knew that those people went to serve as cannon fodder, many people in this army were full of sadness, and some even showed obvious dissatisfaction with the Tartars.
One of the sergeants said loudly: "He's xx, these Tartars are so useless, and they actually let our people die in front." β
Someone next to him reminded in a low voice: "Old Shen, be quiet, be careful to let them hear, once they hear it, they will be killed." β
The sergeant said loudly: "I'm afraid of a bird, Lao Tzu can see it, anyway, it's a death, Lao Tzu is not afraid." β
After saying it loudly, the sergeant strode up to a man who looked like a military general, and said loudly: "General, this time the Tartars must have suffered a fiasco, for the sake of the brothers, let's surrender, lay down our arms and surrender, we still have a way to live." β
This military general can also be regarded as understanding that his gang is worthless in the eyes of the Manchu Tartars, and is just cannon fodder.
The military general said: "Everyone acts when you see the opportunity, listen to my orders, it is important to save your life, the situation is not right, immediately put down your arms and surrender, there is no need to fight too hard." β
"Okay, got it."
Many sergeants replied loudly, and some even quietly conveyed the general's order, and soon, these soldiers knew that it was important to save their lives.
It is estimated that there are not a few surrendered troops with such ideas, if the Tartars fight smoothly and win the battle, even if these surrendered troops are used as cannon fodder, no one dares to have such thoughts and plans as now, but now the Tartars are surrounded on three sides, morale is low, and they are about to lose miserably.
More than ten miles outside the Tianjin Acropolis, on both sides of the official road leading to the direction of Langfang, the terrain here is open, and it is also the only road for the Tartar Corridor, here, there are a large number of soldiers, many soldiers are shooting, shooting the Tartars who rushed over.
The Tartar probably realized the power of the soldiers' muskets, and after dropping a lot of corpses, he retreated, and after about half an hour, the front was densely packed, and a large number of figures appeared, a large number of people, estimated to be thousands.
"Look, brigade commander!"
A major shouted loudly, in the previous attacks, the Tartars were hundreds, at most thousands, but this time it was thousands, it was simply crazy.
The brigade commander took the binoculars, looked ahead, and said in his heart, the Tartars are dead, and they are really crazy to break out in such a hurry.
"Hey, it doesn't seem right!"
Not only did the brigade commander find out that it was wrong, but many battalion and regimental officers had also found that it was wrong, because the front was densely packed with Tartars, it seemed to be a surrendered army, and behind a large number of surrendered troops were Tartars, and it seemed to be Tartar musketeers.
"Brigade commander, all the troops in the front position are surrendering, whether we fight or not."
Seeing that the people in front of him were getting closer and closer, some people asked anxiously, from the bottom of their hearts, everyone was unwilling to fight these surrendered troops, because before these people surrendered, they were either the Ming army or the Dashun army, and they were not Manchu Tartars.
But if you don't fight, these are in the way, followed by a large number of Tartars, getting closer and closer, and it doesn't seem to work if you don't fight.
The brigade commander seemed to have a lot of experience, and waved his hand loudly: "Shout, quickly send someone up to shout, tell them that we are about to shoot, and if you don't want to die, hurry up and lie on the ground." β
Lying on the ground naturally can't block bullets for the Tartar, lying on the ground, the follow-up Tartars behind will all be exposed to the guns of the fighters, and the fighters can just shoot.
Soon, more than a dozen soldiers with loud voices rushed forward with iron trumpets, rushed to the front of the defense line, and shouted loudly.
"Listen to the soldiers on the other side, if you don't want to die, lie down, if you continue to come, we will shoot, and if you don't want to die, lie down, we will shoot soon......"
The soldiers were shouting over and over again, and at first, the soldiers didn't know what was going on, and they didn't seem to understand for a while, and they continued to advance, getting closer and closer to the soldiers.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters.
Seeing that these troops were about to come to the front, many soldiers were anxious, and even some officers at the company and platoon level wanted to order the shooting immediately, but everyone knew that their brigade commander's gun had not sounded, and everyone could not shoot.
Seeing that this large number of surrendered troops was getting closer and closer, they gradually approached everyone, and the soldiers were like facing a great enemy, holding muskets, and one by one aiming muskets at these surrendering troops.
The Tartars who followed up were overjoyed, and seeing that the cannon fodder in front of them was about to rush to the front of the soldiers' defensive line, many Tartars sped up.
There were even some Tartar generals who were so happy that they almost got carried away, shouting loudly, ordering the people behind to follow quickly, and immediately follow.
Seeing that these troops were about to reach the soldiers' defensive line, the distance was only twenty or thirty meters, and the nearest estimate was only one or twenty meters, which was simply close at hand.
It is precisely because of the close distance that more and more troops have heard the shouts of the soldiers clearly, especially the front part of the troops can hear clearly, these troops finally stopped, and quickly conveyed the content of the soldiers' shouts to the troops behind them or around them.
"No, they're about to shoot, and they're going to get everyone lying on the ground."
"If you don't want to die, do it, get down."
ββ¦β¦β
There are even some military attachΓ©s such as the general manager and Baihu who are conveying orders, asking to lie down quickly. No one wants to die, and these surrendered troops are no exception, it is precisely because they are afraid of death and are afraid of being killed by the Tartars that they surrender to the Tartars and serve as cannon fodder for the Tartars.
It's not okay not to act as cannon fodder for the Tartars, if you don't do what the Tartars ask, you will be killed by the Tartars, so you have no choice but to act as cannon fodder in front, and now the opportunity is coming, you can save your life by lying on the ground, and these people will definitely do it.
So, many people lay down and lay on the ground, and more and more troops did so, and soon, in front of the soldiers, there were people lying on the ground, all of whom were surrendering troops. The Tartars were in the back, not hearing the warriors' shouts clearly, and they were rushing forward with joy.
Seeing a large number of people lying on the ground in front of them, and all of them surrendered, these Tartars were puzzled, and even a Tartar general ran forward angrily, kicked a surrendered army general lying on the ground, and said angrily: "What's the matter, what are you doing lying on the ground, get up quickly." β
The general who was lying on the ground glanced at the Tartar general proudly, but he didn't say it, the look seemed to say, I won't tell you, Lao Tzu won't tell you.
The Tartar general was so angry that he was about to draw his saber to kill the general, but before he could draw his saber, the Tartar general seemed to understand something immediately, and looked blankly ahead, looking in the direction of the soldiers' defensive line.
In front of the Tartar generals, until the front of the soldiers' defense line, it was densely packed with people, and almost all of the thousands of troops that were originally used as cannon fodder were lying on the ground, and the Tartars themselves and all the other Tartars who followed up were all exposed to the guns of the warriors.
What's worse is that many Tartars rushed too fast just now, thinking that they would be able to break through the soldiers' defense line immediately, and they were rushing forward desperately, so that many Tartars were less than 100 meters away from the soldiers' defense line, and the position of this Tartar general just now was only more than 100 meters away from the soldiers' defense line.
The rear-loading musket uses copper-shelled bullets, and the effective range is at least 300 meters, and there is also a huge lethality beyond 300 meters, and many Tartars are completely within the range of the soldiers' muskets.
The brigade commander in charge of the command, who was also holding a revolver and a revolver just now, wanted to shoot several times, but still held on.
Seeing that the surrendered troops finally stopped in front of the soldiers' defensive line, and then lay on the ground one after another, and more and more people were lying down, the brigade commander was reassured.
Slowly raised his hand, held the revolver diagonally to the sky, pulled the trigger hard, and a "bang" gunshot spread in all directions. β
"Hit!"
"Shooting !!"
The battalion and company commanders couldn't hold back for a long time, and they wanted to shoot for a long time, and when they heard the gunshots, they immediately shouted loudly, and many people, holding their own short guns, shot at the front.
Suddenly, "bang, bang" gunshots rang out, and immediately after, a dense burst of shooting rang out, and the soldiers opened fire, one by one rear-loading muskets facing the front, and bullets flew out at high speed.
Suddenly, a large number of Tartars were shot and fell to the ground screaming, and some people even fell to the ground without having time to scream, and were directly killed by a single shot.
Some of the Tartar generals who rushed over with the leadership were simply stunned, and they didn't want to fight, and the whole form was completely drastic, and it turned into a one-sided slaughter in an instant.
How did their muskets shoot so far!
Why are their muskets so powerful?
No one will answer the questions in the hearts of these Tartars, and they are greeted only by one hot bullet, one by one 15 mm caliber bullets.
The smoke of gunpowder was filled, the smell of blood was filled, and the soldiers' defense line was almost covered in gunsmoke, and the soldiers did not care about it at all, shooting, returning the shells, reloading, and continuing to shoot......
"Rush!"
"Everybody rush over to me!"
The colonel, who was in charge of commanding the battle, drew his saber and shouted loudly, ordering the soldiers to charge and shoot at the same time.
A whole brigade, three infantry regiments, thousands of soldiers, like tigers descending from the mountains, overwhelming the sky, everyone shouted, muskets, while shooting, rushed forward, shot a large number of Tartars.
In the face of such a fierce blow, the Tartars could not withstand it at all, and they were shot one after another, and the huge battlefield completely turned into a one-sided slaughter.
Such battles are not limited to this.
Such battles were also staged in the west and east, no, slaughter, where the fighters took battalions as combat units and surrounded them from three sides, shooting the Tartars while narrowing the encirclement.
A large number of warriors rushed forward with their guns, and hundreds of warriors remained to watch over the captives, or to kill the Tartars who were not completely dead, and so on.
Thousands of surrendered troops, under the guns of the soldiers, honestly, squatted on the ground one after another, holding their heads in both hands.
On the Tianjin Acropolis Wall.
Zhang Feng looked ahead with a telescope, at this time, the battle had been going on for more than an hour, the soldiers were pressing over from all directions, and were narrowing the encirclement, Zhang Feng stood on the city wall, and could already faintly hear the dense gunfire from afar.
After looking at it for a while, Zhang Feng put down the binoculars and waved his big hand: "Sect Master, pass on my order, the soldiers will go out of the city and all go into battle." β
Originally, Zhang Feng also guessed that the Tartars would jump over the wall in a hurry after being forced to hurry, and if they didn't do well, they would come over and attack the city fiercely, but in fact, the Tartars were no longer able to attack the city.
Not long after, the gates of Tianjin Wei were opened, and groups of soldiers went out of the city with muskets and threw themselves into the battlefield......
