392. I am willing to surrender

In the blink of an eye, the whole long street became a hell full of blood, the officers and soldiers who were shot down by the crossbow arrows howled and rolled on the ground, and those who were hit by the fire guns were basically lying on their stomachs and unable to move, and blood burst out from the wounds, flowing along the cracks of the bluestone slabs of the paved streets, drawing many red lines that were horizontal and vertical, interlaced into the shape of a grid.

The door of the house has become the most critical battlefield, every officer and soldier is desperate to seize the house, and the soldiers of the Zhu army have long been prepared for this, in the door and window of each house, there are many spearmen waiting for the battle, the musketeers in the interval between loading ammunition, the spearmen are fighting a 120,000 points of spiritual defense.

The officers and soldiers tried desperately to storm several times, but they were unable to break through the gate of a private house.

At this time, at the corner at the end of the long street, the five hundred heavy infantry of the Zhu army began to advance, they held thick iron shields, and blocked the entire long street with a thick formation to move forward, the first to bear the brunt of the light cavalry of more than 100 officers and soldiers, if it was on the plain, the galloping might of the war horses would make the hearts of the heavy infantry beat drums, but on this narrow long street, the cavalry could not talk about any advantage at all. As soon as the heavy infantry pressed forward, the light cavalry kept retreating, and then they were squeezed in the middle of the street, and were shot down by the crossbowmen on the roofs on both sides.

People turned on their backs, and there was chaos.

And the rear team of officers and soldiers, at this time, there is still a part of the city gate hole, the tail of thousands of Xi'an guard soldiers are still outside the city, the front is ambushed, the back is naturally chaotic, some people want to rush to the front to help the governor fight, but the other part of the people want to withdraw from the city as soon as possible, first regroup.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with these two ideas, the fault is that everyone's thinking is not unified, and as a result, some people in the city gate cave came up with it. Some people want to get in. In response to the saying that those who are surrounded by the city want to rush out, and those who are outside the city want to rush in...... The crossbowmen arranged by Zhu Jun at the head of the city just took the opportunity to shoot arrows frantically at them, and the rain of arrows falling on their heads added to the chaos.

The three thousand elite soldiers of the Xi'an Guard who did not come in outside the city finally stabilized under the order of a chief military officer, they were originally marching in a long snake formation, and at this time began to change into a formation suitable for attacking the city, but the action of arranging the formation had just begun, and before they had time to put out a decent formation, a whistle suddenly sounded in the woods next to the official road, and Xue Hongqi led five hundred cavalry to rush out.

Heavy cavalry in front. The light cavalry was behind.

Entering a distance of an arrow, the light cavalry opened their bows and arrows, and shot indiscriminately at the officers and soldiers, these horse bandits' archery skills were still bad, but there were many officers and soldiers. The formation is also chaotic, and no matter how bad the archery skills are, they can still shoot people.

"Ahhhh The officers and soldiers who were hit by the arrows screamed in horror, and the panic brought about by the sudden ambush made their legs tremble and move slowly...... This kind of heavily armored and menacing cavalry is simply not something that the infantry in a chaotic formation can resist.

I saw that the heavy cavalry rode in small groups every twenty. Violently plunged into the formation of officers and soldiers, like several awls into the tofu, easily piercing the tofu through a thousand holes, and all the infantry in the way of the heavy cavalry were trampled into powder. Behind the twenty heavy horsemen were thirty light horsemen. At this time, they had already put away their bows, and waved the scimitar of the Northern Shaanxi Horse Gang, which was the only favorite of the Northern Shaanxi Horse Gang, and swung it to the left and right, those officers and soldiers who had finally picked up a life under the charge of the heavy cavalry. But he could not escape the mending sword of the light cavalry.

The hussars swung their swords on horseback, and the easiest position to attack was the neck of the infantry...... So after the scimitar slashed, one after another huge human heads flew in the air, blood splattered on the broken neck of the human head, and it was bright red and poignant.

"It can't be...... What's going on here? One of the Thousand Household generals in the formation of officers and soldiers shouted hoarsely: "How could the thieves have silently laid such a perfect ambush? Why didn't Huaxian even reveal the slightest rumor......"

The sound ended here, Xue Hongqi rolled up a red whirlwind, swept past him, and the second half of his words all turned into a "grunt" sound of hemoptysis, which turned out to be a knife in the throat, and blood poured into the trachea......

The 500 cavalry only took a cup of tea to cut through the officers and soldiers, although there were not many officers and soldiers directly killed by them, but the panicked officers and soldiers trampled on each other and caused great casualties.

Xue Hongqi blew a sharp whistle, and the five hundred cavalry also whistled one after another, and then these cavalry turned their heads to the right at the same time, and after drawing a small arc, they turned their horses' heads and faced the military formation of officers and soldiers again!

"Rush!"

"Strike again!"

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we've burst into battle since we put on heavy armor...... one of the cavalrymen laughed.

"Yes! Hahahaha, I didn't expect the heavy cavalry assault infantry formation to be so refreshing! I'm so fucking excited right now......" the other horseman laughed.

"Rush...... Do it one more fucking ......"

These guys were originally a group of lawless bloodthirsty maniacs, but now they have tasted the thrill of charging into battle, where can they still take their hands, one by one laughed wildly, very proud, reined in the horse, and rushed at the officers and soldiers again.

The chaos in the city made the life and death of their governor uncertain, the most elite heavy infantry was stopped in the long streets of the city and ambushed, and the remaining soldiers were already demoralized, and they were still facing the repeated onslaught of 500 cavalry in the chaotic formation......

There was another burst of indiscriminate shooting by archers and cavalry, and the formation of officers and soldiers was still chaotic and could not be neatly organized. A general officer and several thousand household officers in the army had given up the strength of the army, gathered their own soldiers into a group, and covered themselves, and their selfish practice made the chaos of the whole army even more uncontrollable, and then the heavy cavalry clashed again, and after a violent cut, the officers and soldiers were killed all over the place.

I saw that after the five hundred cavalry broke through the formation, they whistled a few times, turned their horses' heads again, and looked like they were about to break through......

The officers and soldiers finally couldn't help it, and they didn't know which one was the first to scream, turned around and ran, and the other soldiers were not far behind when they saw this, so they roared, dispersed the formation, and fled in all directions.

Xue Hongqi laughed and ordered the cavalry to disperse into a small group of fifty people to pursue in the four fields, so as to kill and wound as much as possible the living force of the officers and soldiers.

Just when the infantry battle outside the city was almost coming to an end, the battle in the city had begun to slowly stop, and Zhu Jun carefully prepared to occupy a favorable position. However, the officers and men were suddenly attacked and rushed to the battle. Fighting under such prerequisites, the results speak for themselves.

The resistance of the officers and soldiers became weaker and weaker, and the Zhu army pressed more and more tightly, and the 500 heavy steps pressed up the long street with overwhelming momentum, and advanced from the end of the long street, like bulldozers, all the officers and soldiers standing in front of them were crushed, and Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Renjie, Wang Er, Ying Shanhong, and others led a large number of spearmen to squeeze over from the other end of the long street.

Hong Chengchou, the military governor of the five provinces, was hiding under the belly of the horse at this time, and was protected by several family soldiers, and he watched the situation outside from the gap of the family soldiers, and when he saw this scene, he already knew that the general trend had gone. He was a man who cherished his life, and at this time, his mind changed, and he planned to surrender to Zhu Jun.

Gently pushing the people around him, Hong Chengchou asked dozens of family soldiers to shout loudly together: "Stop!" Stop! We will surrender! ”

"Stop! We will surrender! ”

Hong Chengchou's family members shouted loudly and vigorously, and the sound soon spread throughout the long street, and the officers and soldiers who were fighting bloody battles were at a loss when they heard this.

"Stop...... Please ask Brother Bai Shui Zhu to also order to stop......"

The officers and soldiers shouted again and again! The fighting spirit is gone.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a few gongs, the crossbowmen on the roof stopped shooting, and the firecrackers hiding in the houses also stopped shooting temporarily, but the five hundred heavy infantry and all the spearmen and shield soldiers still maintained a tense fighting posture. The roars and shouts on the battlefield had stopped, and only a few of the seriously wounded were left moaning, but they quickly sensed something strange around them, and quickly gritted their teeth to hold back their moans.

The long street became quiet, as if a pin could be heard.

"Hong Chengchou, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded at the end of the long street.

Hong Chengchou came out from under the horse's belly, although there were crossbowmen on the roofs on both sides, and there were firecrackers in the houses, but he couldn't help but stand up, if he hid under the horse's belly when talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, his face would have no place to rest. Hong Chengchou straightened the official robe on his body, straightened his hat, coughed lightly, and after putting on a full appearance, he said loudly: "My soldiers are still strong, if you have to kill them all, our army has to fight with their lives and not fight back, and they will definitely bite off your two pieces of meat, why don't you stop fighting......

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "If it's such nonsense, don't say it, you go back to the horse's belly and hide, let's continue to fight." ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of Zhu Jun laughed in unison: "That's it, aren't you very good at fighting?" Go back to the horse's belly, let's continue to fight, see if you can bite off a piece of our meat, hahahaha......"

Hong Chengchou's face changed greatly, and he only felt that there was no place to put an old face. But he is by no means an impulsive person, if he loses his life for the sake of some face, then he is not Hong Chengchou. He pretended to think for a long time, and then said seriously: "Baishui Zhuba, if you promise me not to slaughter people, not to burn houses, and not to plunder property...... My ruler is willing to surrender to you here, what do you want? ”

"Hahahaha, worthy of being a big official of the Donglin Party, you have to find a better-sounding excuse for yourself to surrender." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "In the future, when the history books say that you surrender to me, you will say that you are willing to bend to serve thieves in order to protect thousands of people in Shaanxi, right?"
