Chapter 710: Breaking the Enemy
In fact, the current firepower level of the Jiazhou army is not enough to crush the cavalry charge of the cold weapon era so easily, but the cavalry of the northern captives has no experience in dealing with hot weapon attacks at all, so they will be defeated so quickly, if they continue to brave the artillery fire, maybe they can really rush into the team of the firecrackers, of course, Luo Shiji is not completely unprepared for this, and at that time, there will naturally be other arms to come to intercept it.

"Keep shooting!" The escape of Pu Suqi and Xue Haomu did not surprise the officers of the firecrackers, he still commanded his soldiers to attack the defeated enemy army with a blank face, accompanied by bursts of gunpowder smoke and gunshots like bursting beans, those northern cavalry who turned around in front of the formation continued to fall off their horses.
I have to say that Pu Suqi and Xue Haomu made an extremely stupid decision, they turned around before the battle to give the Jiazhou army a bigger blow surface, firearms, cannons and grenades continued to harvest the lives of the northern cavalry, and when they took out the range of the firearms, only half of the 6,000 soldiers and horses that came out this time were left.
"Aim in the direction of the enemy's escape and force them back!" Seeing that Pan Feng's cavalry was ready to charge, the gunners changed their combat objectives one after another, changing their purpose from killing and injuring the enemy to delaying the enemy's escape, and the shells were also changed from shotguns to solid shells, and one after another the shells fell in the direction of the Northern Cavalry's escape, making their escape back to the camp a stagnant speed.
In such a panic, Pan Feng had already led the cavalry to kill them behind, and the cavalry in a neat formation easily broke through the chaotic formation and had no intention of fighting the northern cavalry, dividing them into two pieces along the middle line, and then dividing and surrounding them and sprinting back and forth.
In the first wave of impact, the brightly armored Pu Suqi was cut off his horse by Pan Feng, Xue Haomu was also seriously injured, and the cavalry of the northern captives suddenly lost their command and could only fight on their own, barely coping with the attack of the Jiazhou army; The cavalry of the Jiazhou army even had some spare strength to attack the drawbridge, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to storm the camp of the northern captives.
"Pull up the drawbridge! These southern barbarians must not be allowed to rush in! Usari, who was stunned by the artillery fire, finally reacted, and hurriedly gave an order, now he didn't care that there were still many cavalry left outside the camp, now they were in a desperate situation, there was no possibility of escape, and it was important to keep the camp at the moment.
"General!" Pu Suqi and Xue Haomu's relatives and friends have a sense of sadness for the death of the rabbit and the fox, this time Usari gave up on them, will it be his turn next time?
"Don't go yet! If we let the Southern Barbarians occupy the drawbridge, we'll be finished! Usari's roar woke them up from their loss, yes, and now that they were out of danger, there was time to worry about them? So the generals took action one after another, some brought men and horses to help the defenders of the drawbridge turn the winch, and some led the archers to quickly climb the walls on the left and right of the drawbridge, aiming the arrows at the Jiazhou cavalry who rushed over.
Their efforts were not in vain, and when the Jiazhou cavalry rushed to the suspension bridge only a few dozen steps, the suspension bridge was finally pulled up, and those cavalry could only look at the deep and wide trench and sigh, and then a wave of arrows rained down, and these cavalry could only regretfully collect their troops and continue to kill the Beiyu cavalry who were encircled with Pan Feng.
"Whoever descends will not die! The drawbridge has been raised, and you can't escape! If you don't put down your weapons and surrender, when will you wait? Pan Feng wasted no time in persuading him to surrender, and his cavalry temporarily stopped attacking, and retreated a few steps back, and the dense weapons were aimed at the enemy troops in the encirclement, as long as they made the slightest movement, they would suffer a devastating blow.
When these northern captives are in trouble in the Central Plains, it is too cheap to just drive them out, and one day the army of the Central Plains will go north to attack Mobei, so they have been thinking about the leading party that is ready to understand the terrain of Mobei from now on, and there are quite a few gorgeously dressed guys in these surrounded enemy troops, who look like nobles in the northern desert, these people are much more useful than dead, even those ordinary soldiers are not all useless, the Ministry of Industry excavates mines, builds water conservancy, Coolies are indispensable for building cities, so let them use them to atone for their sins.
"Surrender! Surrender! Xue Haomu shouted loudly, he was stabbed in the chest, if it was consumed, there would only be a dead end, now that Usari pulled up the suspension bridge and was surrounded by enemy legions, then it seemed that there was only one way to surrender, he was not a guy who was not afraid of death.
Xue Haomu took the lead, except for a few diehards, the rest of the Beiyu cavalry threw down their weapons, turned over and dismounted and surrendered on their knees according to Pan Feng's order, about 2,000 Beiyu cavalry became prisoners of the Jiazhou army, and almost none of the 6,000 cavalry sent by Usari to try to destroy the artillery of the Jiazhou army fled back to the camp.
"That's all for today, order someone to shoot some documents to persuade you to surrender, I hope Usari is a guy who knows the times." Luo Shiji did not plan to capture the enemy's camp in one battle, the main purpose today is to test the combat effectiveness of these musketeers and gunners newly trained by the Jiazhou Army, and now that the purpose has been exceeded, then there is no need to continue to fight, not to mention that after so many rounds of firing, the barrel of the cannon is already hot, and it is time for them to rest.
Immediately, hundreds of cavalry roared and rushed to the front of the Beiyu camp, and a document with a letter of persuasion was shot into the camp, causing a panic in the camp.
"Collect all these documents and burn them all, but there is no forgiveness for those who have hidden, circulated, and talked about this matter!" After reading a document in a hurry, Usari reacted immediately; However, the generals under his command had mixed reactions, seeing that Xue Haomu was not killed on the spot after surrendering, they also thought about it, since this place can no longer be defended, then surrendering seems to be a way out?
"Hurry up the repair of the wall, and then send someone to ask for help from the National Teacher! Come with me, let's have a good time discussing how to deal with it tomorrow if these southern barbarians still attack us like this. Usari continued to issue orders, in fact, he also knew in his heart that this place might not be able to be defended, but he would never dare to retreat without Yuan Zhang's order, and now he could only hope that Yuan Zhang could send reinforcements to support, or send an order to let him retreat.
But no matter what the order, it wouldn't come so quickly, so he had to keep holding on first.
