"I surrender." Seeing that the general situation was gone, even the main general Amu Gulang did not know whether he was alive or dead, and in the face of the great momentum of the independent regiment, finally a Tatar cavalry threw down the weapons in their hands, jumped off their horses, and fell to the ground.

Under the strong force, more and more people chose to surrender. It's not like Amu Gulang who has suffered the favor of taking off and not sweating profusely, they are just eating in the army. Having said that, didn't you see the presence of Tatar cavalry among the mercenaries? Didn't they also surrender to the past? Now that there is a precedent, it seems that everyone is no longer so resistant when it comes to surrendering.

Five thousand Tatar horsemen, two thousand were killed, and three thousand were dropped. Humang's Su Hesu's division only suffered less than one hundred and fifty casualties, not even one-tenth of the opponent's proportion, this is definitely a big victory.

"Come, take all the captives down and keep them in good care, but don't mistreat them, and the others will bring up the artillery and prepare to attack the city." After defeating the enemy's 5,000 cavalry, Hu Mang set his sights on the city of Talu. He gave the young master a military order yesterday, saying that he would definitely capture the city today, but he couldn't be untrustworthy.

For others, it is undoubtedly difficult or even impossible to capture the fortified city in one day, but for Humang, who has artillery and muskets, it is not a matter at all.

Under the tower of Alu City, he didn't see everything that happened below. Especially at the moment when he saw Amu Gulang die on the battlefield, his eyes quickly became warm.

Speaking of which, Farewell is a chess piece arranged by Amugulang's side without sweating, which is used to spy on him, that is, in a certain aspect, they are not trusted, but he can see that Amugulang is not willing to believe all this. In the final analysis, it is the so-called balancing technique, so the relationship between the two is usually not very good. But how to say that they have worked together for a while, and seeing this person die in front of him, there is some sadness for the rabbit and the fox.

"General Amuguro, as soon as you die, my mission will be completed, and I will do my best to defend the city, but..." But he also wanted to see the true strength of the mercenaries, and he looked at the Tatar soldiers on the tower and shouted: "Everyone prepare bows and arrows, and as soon as the enemy comes close to the city, shoot them back!" ”

Defending the city with bows and arrows is also the most commonly used method of defending the city. If it's summer, they'll get a fire oil and catapults, which will greatly increase their defensive capabilities.

The bow and arrow shooting ability of Tatar warriors is still very strong, at least the target rate is much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty army, which is related to the environment in which they grew up, and war horses and bows and arrows are always indispensable. But when faced with mercenaries armed with firearms, it's all a different story.

"Send someone to shout and tell them to open the city and surrender, we won't hurt the soldiers and civilians in the city, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite." Holding the binoculars, he saw that the Tatar soldiers in the city of Taru were still preparing to resist with bows and arrows, and Hu Mang sneered.

"I'll come." Xin Honghai, the deputy head of the regiment, took the initiative to take over this task, and rushed out on horseback with a self-made iron horn. When he came to a distance of one hundred and fifty meters below the city, he stopped, and then his loud voice had a chance to perform. "Listen to the guards of the city..."

As Xin Honghai's roar came out, the faces of the Tatar soldiers on the city tower changed again and again, and at this time, many people's eyes involuntarily fell on the general Shebei. Obviously, they all knew that even the 5,000 cavalry led by General Amugulang had been defeated, and that they could not resist the 5,000 infantry without horses.

If you continue to fight, you can only live or die, and surrender may still have a way to live.

How can the thoughts of the warriors below not be seen? It's just that if he doesn't even fight, he is really sorry for the dead Amu Gulang. So he also said loudly: "Brothers, I know what you think, but after all, this is a siege and not a cavalry hedge, I think we still have the strength to defend it." If you can't beat it, it's not too late to surrender. I guess you still like the feeling of freedom. ”

Leaving aside such empathy, it was immediately exchanged for bursts of support from the soldiers. At the moment, the Tatar warriors standing between the battlements are staring intently at the mercenaries under the city, and there is a big picture, you are coming, we will serve you with bows and arrows.

Xin Honghai shouted a few times and didn't see any response, and the horse returned to Humang's side, spread his hands and said, "Tiger head, they don't descend." ”

"Hehe, if you don't land, you will beat them down, come on, prepare artillery to serve, the musketeers come forward and shoot at a boundary of two hundred meters. The rest of the cavalry are ready to charge with me. Hu Mang's face was confident. With muskets and artillery, a city of Taru, it really didn't take it in his eyes.

The city was quickly prepared, and six battalions of more than 2,000 gunmen marched slowly and stopped two hundred meters before coming to the city of Taru. Then a long line formed and formed a line to aim at the top of the city wall.

Above the towers, between the battlements, Shebetsu was looking down with thousands of Tatar soldiers. Originally, they had prepared bows and arrows to deal a head-on blow to the incoming enemy, but when they saw that the other party was two hundred meters away, they stopped, and one by one they looked down curiously, not understanding what the mercenaries were going to do next.

This is not to blame them, the understanding of the musket is completely the impression given to them by the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the firecracker could only hit about 100 meters, and it was not much different from the bow and arrow, the difference was that the lethality seemed to be greater. And when they fought with the Ming army just now, because of the distance, they couldn't see clearly at what distance Amu Gulang's cavalry was shot.

The Tatar soldiers still had a confused expression on their faces, and the mercenaries of the six battalions were indeed not polite. Most of them are auxiliary soldiers, and even some of them already have the quality to assess the real cold front, and the training during this period of time has made their strength go to a higher level. Now facing the enemy close at hand, he is already full of fighting spirit, and all he lacks is an order to shoot.

Now that the order had finally been given, the right arm of the man on his horse was raised and lowered, and the trumpeter beside him blew the sound of a horn for permission to shoot, and at that moment the guns were contrived, and countless bullets seemed to have eyes on the Tatar soldiers in the city of Taru.

The Tatar soldiers, who did not have the slightest psychological defense, and did not take the musketeers under the city seriously, suffered a great loss. A second after the gunshots rang out, there was a bloody scene on the tower, at least hundreds of soldiers were killed by a single shot because they stuck out their heads and did not do any precautions, only a few lucky ones escaped because the bullet was crooked and hit the battlements.

"Quick, all squat, don't be on the rise." At the moment when the gun rang out, he instinctively lowered his head and leaned his back against a battlement, thus avoiding the catastrophe. But when he saw that many soldiers had been hit by muskets because they had not dodged, and they had fallen to death on the tower with their heads tilted, he could not help but cry out loudly.

Actions speak louder than words!

There is no need to shout more, all the soldiers are looking for a place to hide with a frightened face, and they are even more surprised in their hearts, what kind of musket is this, not only does it hit so far, but it is still so accurate, in the face of such a weapon, who dares to show their heads to cast a bow and arrow, is there any difference between that and looking for death?

Like the other soldiers, there was a look of horror on his face. It's true that he is a general, but he also has only one life, and being hit by a bullet is not much better.

All the Tatar soldiers sought refuge in safety, so that they could not pose a threat to the mercenary fighters under the city. At this time, the city tower seemed to tremble, that is, the mortar began to wield, after accurately aiming at the target, the two cannons fired in unison, one of which hit the gate of the city of Dalu, "boom" after a loud noise, the seemingly heavy city gate was completely blown open.

Along with it, dozens of Tatar soldiers were holding huge wooden roofs on the city gates, and their task was to defend the city gates, and the other side were all cavalry, and they should not be good at siege things. Under one defense and one attack, the situation should be in their favor.

Unexpectedly, the mercenaries were not polite to them at all, just a double bombardment, the city gate was blown open, and there was no intention of even fighting a distance war.

The city gate was wide open, and Xin Honghai, the deputy regiment commander on horseback, roared loudly at the moment, and took the lead in riding a war horse towards the city of Talu, and behind him were five battalions of two thousand soldiers of the independent regiment.

Xin Honghai launched an all-out charge, and Su He, the commander of the Tatar cavalry regiment on the side, was not to be outdone, and under the same shout, he also led the army to follow. While launching a charge, he suppressed the shock in his heart.

Oh, my God! The power of this kind of artillery of the mercenaries is too great, and with such heavy weapons, what kind of city cannot be attacked, and what kind of enemy can stop them?

The heart of the general on the city tower was even more shocked, and he could feel it from that vibration, the mercenaries should have opened the city gates, and now they felt the sound of people's iron hooves on the ground, and they were afraid that they were rushing towards the city now.

Once he waited for them to enter the city, with the superiority of cavalry over infantry, what else could he resist? At this moment, his whole body suddenly gave birth to a sense of powerlessness, and he knew that Taru City had already changed hands from this moment on.
