In the raging fires, the only thing that can get the traitors out is the streets with no combustibles.

Therefore, the more than 10,000 muskets in the hands of the Haw Par musketeers were all aimed at the streets leading to the outside of the city.

Not only muskets, but also medium mortars and light mortars, which were very well stocked, were all aimed at the streets.

Time passed little by little, and the raging fire spread to the center of the city little by little.

Just when the fire belt had spread to more than 100 steps away from the city wall, the houses on the entire line of the city wall had all been burned to black coal. A rush of shouts and killings suddenly sounded in the center of the city, which had been completely surrounded by a sea of fire.

Immediately after that, Wei Zheng, who was standing on the castle tower, saw that there was no fire, but the streets were covered with thick smoke, and groups of traitors with completely blackened clothes quickly poured out.

In the face of the traitors who stood out from the sea of fire, Wei Zheng's order to shoot had not yet been issued, and the crisp gunshots like bursting beans had already sounded on the city walls around him. At the same time, a series of dull shelling sounds also reached Wei Zheng's ears.

Whether it was the blossom bullets that roared out of the muzzle of the cannon, or the hot lead bullets that erupted from the barrel of the gun, they all swept away with the breath of death towards the traitor who had just rushed out of the flames.

A violent explosion sounded in the street a hundred paces away, and the traitor, who had just rushed out of the smoke and fire, was once again covered by the flames and smoke from the explosion of the flowering bomb before he could react from the surprise.

At the same time, the fragments from the explosion of the flowering bomb were like a storm of steel. Wanton massacres of largely unprotected traitors in the streets.

The flowering shell exploded. Rain-down buckshot. And with it, it whistled.

In the explosion of the flowering bullets, the dense and chaotic rebels, even if they were lucky enough to dodge the fragmentation attack, could not dodge this dense rain of lead bullets.

In the blink of an eye, the dozens of traitors who rushed out of the sea of fire were completely harvested by the first round of flowering bullets and lead bullets fired by the Haw Par Army, and not even a single living mouth was left.

However, the carnage that took place in front of my eyes. Apparently this is just the beginning.

The thick smoke of gunpowder has not yet had time to dissipate, and the traitor who has the mind to survive only by rushing out is like a walking corpse that has lost its feelings, stepping on the corpses of his fallen comrades and continuing to attack.

I want to get through the tactics of the sea of people and rush out of the county full of death and murder in front of me.

However, in the face of the superior firearms of the Haw Par Army, what they did did had no other effect than to let them die a little earlier.

Countless traitors. Like a flood that bursts its banks, it keeps pouring out of the fire and smoke. Lead bullet fired by a Haw Par musketeer. also round after round, a steady stream swept towards the traitors.

Under the cover of lead bullets, it was like rain, and a few flowering bullets that fell from time to time set off bursts of bloody rain full of death in the dense crowd of traitors......

Under the fierce onslaught of the traitors, the musketeers guarding the walls did not need to aim at all.

As long as the muzzle of their musket is aimed at the street, the whistling lead bullet can hit the target.

Therefore, every musketeer has the same belief in his heart: load the musket in his hand as fast as he can, and then, shoot as many buckshots as possible at the traitors who are a hundred paces away, and kill these traitors who are inferior to the brutes.

At this time, not only was the battle breaking out in front of Wei Zheng, but in the direction of the four city gates of Baode County, a burst of gunfire and explosions sounded more intensively......

Standing on the tower of the city and paying attention to the defense of the entire battlefield, although there was no movement on the surface. However, his heart has become extremely excited, just like turning over the river and the sea.

Because, as long as there is no accident in this battle in front of us, the traitors trapped in the city will be killed in half an hour at the latest......

Once the main force of the traitors who invaded Shanxi was eliminated by themselves, the remnants of the traitors defending Shaanxi would become nothing to worry about.

At that time, as long as he commanded the army to enter Shaanxi, it would be impossible to stop the pace of the attack with only the remnants of those traitors.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng ordered again: "General Zhou, this place will be handed over to you....remember the order of this commander before the war, these people in the city are all traitors who are inferior to beasts, and everyone has the lives of several people and tun people in their hands. Therefore, Ben Shuai should not take prisoners, kill them all, and avenge the people and the people who died at their hands......."

After Wei Zheng returned to the tent outside the city with anticipation and excitement, the gunfire that occurred in the city had slowly stopped.

A day later, as the fire in the city slowly extinguished, all kinds of battle results also converged in Wei Zheng's hands.

Zhou Yuhong, the direct commander of the battle, walked into the handsome tent with a complicated expression on his face and said.

"Marshal, the results and losses have all been counted..."

"According to the commander's generals, all the traitors stationed in the city, including their commander Wu Jingtian, were all killed, and they were undoubtedly alive. Because many of the corpses of the traitors were shattered by flowering shells, plus those who were burned to death, we have not been able to count the exact number. However, the last general has already made a rough count..."

"In total, we found more than 21,000 corpses of traitors inside and outside the county..."

In addition, there is another very important harvest: because when the traitors broke through, they scattered all the gold and silver looted in Baode County. Therefore, the gold and silver were not burned by the fire, but all of them were seized by us. ”

"After statistics, a total of 390,000 taels of silver, more than 16,400 taels of gold, and various gold and silver ornaments worth 50,000 taels of silver were seized...."

"In terms of food, there are basically no seized ......"

"In terms of equipment, except for more than 7,500 old arquebuses that are intact and twelve Franc machine guns, all the others have been destroyed, or we have completely eliminated the spears that are of no use..."

After the first battle of the Mongol attack, Wei Zheng no longer paid attention to these captures.

After just glancing at the list handed over by Zhou Yuhong, he continued to ask the question he wanted to know the most.

"What about the losses....The losses of the soldiers are not big....you know, these soldiers are the elites that we have trained for more than half a year, and almost one dies and one is less..."

Zhou Yuhong shook his head and replied with an embarrassed face: "Commander, the losses of the soldiers are also very large..."

"Because of a series of traitors' plots, in the battle yesterday, we lost a total of 1,239 people, and 328 people were wounded and had to withdraw from the army....almost more than a regiment of soldiers is gone..."

"The pension alone, our seizure in Baode County, will be used up completely... Not to mention, among these captures, we will also take out a part of the reward for the soldiers who went to war. In this way, the siege war we launched not only did not make the slightest profit, but also lost a lot of silver. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuhong couldn't help but let out a sigh full of helplessness.

Wei Zheng nodded noncommittally, and replied to Zhou Yuhong: "Silver is still second....The soldiers we have worked so hard to train are all for dealing with the Tartars and the official army." But now, for the sake of a group of traitors with low combat effectiveness, it is the most loss-making ...... to lose so much."

Helpless and helpless, Wei Zheng did not forget his duties...

After taking a deep breath, he ordered Zhou Yuhong, who was still distressed in front of him: "General Zhou, the battle is over, no matter how much you are distressed, you can't save the lives of those more than a thousand soldiers..."

"Besides, in the siege battle of Tongguò, we are not without gains....In addition to what you just said, our biggest gain is to let the 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers under our command experience a real bloody battle, so that they can change from a recruit who has never seen blood to a veteran who can kill and dare to kill..."

Zhou Yuhong, whose face quickly recovered and calmed, replied with a look of approval: "Dashuai, you are right....After the soldiers see blood, they can become the real elite....Today, I can already feel a little murderous aura from the soldiers..."

Wei Zheng nodded and continued, "This is our biggest gain from this battle... Now that the battle is over, what we have to do next is to reduce the losses as much as possible and replenish the consumption..."

"Although we can't use the weapons and equipment captured on the battlefield, after sending them to the Equipment Division, the Equipment Department can turn them into weapons that we urgently need....Besides, even if we don't use them, we can sell them to the officers and soldiers and local armed forces in other provinces in exchange for a large sum of silver..."

"Therefore, in Baode County, as long as it is iron and copper, I will gather it and transport it back to Datong..."

In addition, a battalion was dispatched to bury the dead soldiers on the spot, and all the wounded soldiers were sent back to Datong in a cart for treatment. As for the seized equipment, gold and silver, they were all escorted back..."

"Yes, handsome..."Zhou Yuhong said loudly without thinking about it.

Then, he asked Wei Zheng tentatively: "Dashuai, after we are done, our next target is not Shaanxi on the other side of the Yellow River..."

Wei Zheng nodded without the slightest hesitation and replied: "Don't forget, this marshal still has the official position of the governor of Shanxi on his head....As the governor of Shanxi, it is incumbent on him to regain Shaanxi from the traitors..."

"Therefore, our next action is to take advantage of the fact that the remnants of the traitors in Shaanxi are leaderless, and directly send troops to Shaanxi, and hold Shaanxi in our own hands......"

Hearing this, the expression on Zhou Yuhong's face became fanatical again.

Staring at a pair of eyes full of heat, he replied again: "The handsome....the last general understands... After going down, the last general will immediately arrange for the wounded and captured, and prepare for the expedition to Shaanxi........."
