Chapter 140: Is Life Important, Is Face Important?
"Go and gather all the generals and let them come to the barracks." As he spoke, he walked in the direction of the barracks.
Seeing this, the soldiers in the back hurriedly followed, and the remaining soldiers went to inform the other generals to gather in the barracks immediately.
When I came to the vicinity of the barracks, I found that it had become a pot of porridge, and explosions and screams continued to be heard in the barracks, and the soldiers fled in a panic.
Mao Lixiong was a little stunned when he saw this scene, he still did not see where the enemy was, and where he had fired at the barracks.
Stopping a soldier who had escaped from the barracks, Mori Male asked, "Where is the enemy?" â
The soldier who was stopped saw that it was Mao Lixiong, and hurriedly said in horror: "Report to the Daimyo, it seems that the enemy is attacking us from the sky." â
"Heavenly?"
Mao Lixiong looked into the sky in disbelief, and sure enough, he saw dozens of fire points shaking in the sky, and through the light of the fire burning in the military camp below, he could vaguely see what seemed to have been thrown down from those fire points in the sky.
Then there was another violent explosion in the barracks, and this time Mao Rixiong finally determined that the enemy had dropped bombs from the sky, but he still couldn't understand why the enemy was able to go to the sky.
Now was not the time to think about this, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the barracks to retreat in an orderly manner without causing more casualties.
At this time, his generals also rushed over, and under the command and management of everyone, the soldiers who escaped were finally no longer so frightened, and the chaos was controlled to a certain extent.
At this moment, a soldier ran from the city gate, and as soon as he came to Mao Lixiong, he immediately knelt down and said: "Report to the Daimyo, we have been attacked by the Ming army, and the city gate has been lost!"
"What!"
Mao Lixiong and the generals were shocked when they heard this, could it be that the attack on the military camp was just to cover people's eyes, and the main target of the Ming army was the city gate?
"Organize the soldiers to retake the city gates!"
Mao Lixiong hurriedly ordered.
The city gate is too important for them, because Zhiyue City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has only one city gate, if the city gate is occupied by the Ming army, then they will be unable to fly.
These Ming troops are really hateful, they can only carry out sneak attacks, it is really despicable and shameless, Mao Lixiong thought so in his heart, and then personally led 150,000 Fusang soldiers who escaped to the gate of the city.
When Mao Lixiong arrived at the gate of the city, he found that the place was brightly lit, and there was something as bright as the sun shining on the city tower, and the soldiers of the Zhou family army had already done the fortifications, and there were 20,000 soldiers stationed at the city gate, and 5,000 soldiers on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Mao Li Xiong's heart was shocked, he didn't know what the glow was, just as he didn't know what the fire point in the sky was, but he still gritted his teeth and let 10,000 Fusang soldiers rush over, he wanted to try the strength of the Ming army. gÅÎ b.Åγg
Although the 10,000 Fusang soldiers were afraid, they still rushed to the city gate.
As soon as the 10,000 Fusang soldiers rushed to a place 400 meters away from the Zhou family's army, the gunfire rang out from the opposite side, and the 10,000 Fusang soldiers who charged only rushed 200 meters before they left 5,000 corpses and ran back.
Mao Lixiong's heart was also beating wildly when he saw this scene, according to the firepower of the Ming army, even if all the soldiers and horses on his side rushed up, it was not enough for them to kill.
Are you going to die here today? Maori Xiong thought to himself.
Out of fear of death, Maori Xiong gave his generals a death order to rush out, no matter what the cost.
Soon, another 20,000 Fusang soldiers rushed to the city gate as death squads.
These Fusang soldiers did not come into contact with overheated weapon troops, and still followed the traditional tactics of the cold weapon era to charge intensively, but they did not know that this kind of charge was in the arms of the soldiers of the Zhou family.
In the face of machine guns, no matter how dense the charge is, it is one result, and that is death.
In fact, the best way to face the thermal weapons troops is to disperse, find cover, and consume the opponent's ammunition, this method is exchanged for countless lives in the first and later wars.
The current Fuso soldiers naturally didn't know this method, and they still rushed over like crazy.
The soldiers of the Zhou family army also wanted to go crazy with the guns in their hands, and Gatlin braved the blue fire and ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Fusang soldiers.
The 20,000 death squads held out for only half an hour before they were wiped out, leaving only a few hundred people to flee back.
These hundreds of people, although they were lucky not to be killed by machine guns, their spirits had collapsed.
As if they were stupid, they no longer obeyed the orders of their generals and fled in all directions.
Mao Lixiong's face turned even paler when he saw this scene, and his 20,000 soldiers were gone? This Ming army's firearm is really terrifying, and there is no way to rush through it at all.
At this time, a general came to Mao Lixiong and said, "Daimyo, why don't we surrender too!" â
"Surrender?"
Maori Xiong was a little moved.
"We have more than 100,000 Fusang warriors, how can we surrender tens of thousands of Ming troops, if this spreads, what face do we have in the Changzhou Domain."
At this time, another general retorted.
"Ishida-kun, is face important or is the life of the daimyo important?" Eguchi asked rhetorically.
Shotake Ishida was speechless for a while when he heard this, he couldn't say that the life of the daimyo was not important.
"Yes, I heard that the daimyo of the Hizen Domain was wiped out by the Ming army because he refused to surrender."
"I also heard that the daimyo of the Satsuma Domain was not exterminated by the Ming army because they surrendered, and they also said that they released all the soldiers of their Satsuma Domain."
"These Ming army's firearms are too powerful, we basically can't resist them."
Immediately, these generals all started talking, and most of them supported surrender, after all, there was still some life after surrendering, and if they didn't surrender, they might all die here.
In the face of absolute strength, these Fusang people have revealed their true nature of liking to kneel and lick the strong.
At this time, Mao Lixiong also made up his mind to surrender to the Ming army, as the so-called good death is better than life, Mao Lixiong has enjoyed the glory and wealth for so long, he is reluctant to let go of all this.
"Pass me on the orders everyone to lay down their arms and we surrender!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Maori Xiong gave the order to surrender.
Most of the generals were relieved when they heard this, but Ishida Shotake said with an unhappy face: "Daimyo, how can we surrender, this is too shameful, I don't approve of surrender!"
"Shame on you, do you want to kill thousands of samurai for your own selfishness?" Maori said angrily.
"This is your excuse for your cowardice, you are a coward!"
Akitake Ishida was also angry, and he didn't care about Mao Lixiong's identity anymore, so he scolded directly.
When Mao Lixiong heard Ishida Shotake scolding him for being a coward, he immediately angrily pulled out his katana and stabbed Ishida Shotake in the stomach.
