At the sound of the order, Baba and his guards rushed towards the broken wall, and the 20,000 cavalry galloped and blocked everyone's sight under the galloping smoke and dust.

"Lord Wang, there is an abnormal movement in Xicheng, Lord Lin He judges that the enemy may break through from Xicheng!"

Almost at the same time that Baba launched the general attack, a herald rushed in the direction of Xicheng to report it.

"Ling Kong Shen will go to support with a mortar battalion and tell them that this king will be completely annihilated!" Liu Hongjian said very calmly.

The defending side of a siege has an advantage, and the attacking side often suffers several times the battle losses of the defending side, but all this is no longer applicable because of the advent of howitzers.

If there are enough shells, the attacker can continue to bombard outside the range of the defender, and the defender can only continue to be beaten, but only to go out of the city and fight in the field.

Liu Hong gradually knew how many shells there were in the army, but the Rakshasas in the city did not know.

The eastern city has been bombarded, and according to the terrifying power of the howitzer, the four cities will be opened in two days, and the Rakshasa soldiers in the city will be even more passive at that time.

Therefore, Vasily decisively chose to break through, taking advantage of the general attack of the Ming army outside the eastern city wall, and broke through from the western city to retain the strength of the empire.

It's just that this is in the arms of Liu Hongji, Lin He's musket battalion has long been in full array, and the Rakshasa cavalry has just left the city and is covered by mortars.

However, the Rakshasas were very determined, and it seemed that everyone understood that the only way to survive was to break through, and they shouted at Ula in the face of artillery fire to strengthen their courage and continued to advance towards the musket battalion of the Limhe.

"Grenadier prepare! Cast-"

"The first and third teams of the musket battalion are ready to shoot!"

……

The equipment of both sides was not in the same order of magnitude at all, except for a few grenades thrown by the Rakshasa cavalry that caused some losses to Lin He's troops, and the battle in Xicheng ended in less than half an hour with the retreat of the Rakshasa cavalry.

At the same time, the battle in the city was also in full swing, Baba had already taken the eastern city wall, and more Ming soldiers poured into the city to engage in street battles with the Rakshasa soldiers.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone knew who the victory belonged to, but the Ming army did not get the order to surrender, and the Rakshasa people who were still trapped in the beast did not choose to surrender.

"Lord Vasily, the southern city has also been lost, and the second breakthrough has not been successful, we ...... We should negotiate with the Ming army. Lieutenant Ulysses came running with a group of soldiers with bloody faces, and said very firmly.

Negotiation is really nothing more than rhetoric, and to negotiate after the city has been breached is really just a decent name for surrender.

Vasily has not expressed his position, Ulysses was commissioned by other generals, and this time he came to the palace to force the palace.

"Hehe, Lord Ulysses, is that how loyal you are to the Empire?" Vasily looked at the growing number of soldiers around him, and glanced at Ulysses with contempt.

Most of his guards had already been killed, and only a dozen or so people were left nervously protecting Vasily behind him.

The strategy for defending Chernog was set by him, and he admitted that his miscalculation of the Ming army's armament had caused the defeat, and as the Marquis of the Empire and the commander of the front, he was ready to fight the city's death.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the other generals didn't do a good job, and they didn't want to die.

Ulysses took control of Vasily, and immediately consulted with the other generals to send someone in charge of impeachment, but to their shock, this man was cut down to the ground by the red-eyed Ming army before he could even go out of the city.

"My lord, the Ming army refuses to negotiate!" The slashed retinue ran over with a wail.

Ulysses frowned, was it not sincere enough? After all, I heard that the Ming Dynasty is a country that likes to pick words, and it makes the Ming army uncomfortable to say that surrender is a negotiation, well, it must be so.

Then Ulysses sent a second and a third, and specially told them to surrender, and if they couldn't run, they couldn't run, they couldn't fight, and he didn't care about any face.

It's just that whether it was negotiation or surrender, there is no doubt that he was killed before he even got out of the city.

Ulysses was in a hurry, could it be that Daming wanted to kill all the 100,000 people in the city?

"My lord, the Ming army refused to surrender, and the Marquis Vasily committed suicide!" Another soldier came to report it.

Boom - Boom Boom -

At this time, the gate of the northern city was finally opened by Babala, and Lu Haibo led more than 10,000 new troops to start a joint strangulation of the Rakshasa people in the city, and the warehouse where the Rakshasa people stored gunpowder was ignited, and the huge explosion made Ulysses stunned on the spot.

……

"Lord Wang, the battle is over, we have won!" In Liu Hongji's handsome tent, Lu Haibo, Lin He and other generals came to report with excitement on their faces.

"It's all hard work, let's report the battle situation to this king." Liu Hong's expression was surprisingly calm.

He had already expected the outcome of the battle, it was only a matter of time.

"We killed more than 2,000 brothers, and the number of wounded is about the same." Chang Yu knew that Liu Hongji's greatest concern was always his own people, so he took the lead.

"Lord Wang, how many Rakshasa soldiers have been killed has not been counted, but according to the Rakshasa soldiers who surrendered, they defended the city with more than 50,000 people, which means that at least more than 30,000 were killed." Lin He said in a low voice.

More than 30,000 enemies were killed in one day, and everyone was taken aback when they said this.

In the era of cold weapons, tens of thousands of people died in many battles for several days, but after howitzers and mortars, muskets, and grenades were fully added to the battlefield, the efficiency of the war was several times higher.

"Well, properly dispose of the corpses of the soldiers killed in battle, Lao Gu, the battle report to the imperial court will bother you to start, Lao Chang, order the Huotou Army to stew meat at night, and each person will be served with two taels of soju."

The weather is too cold, and the soldiers must be rewarded for a day of fighting, but fortunately, the Rakshasa people also like to drink, and the army has also collected a lot of wine in various cities all the way, otherwise it is really not enough to rely on the hundred jars of old soju in his ring.

Alas, the supply of the imperial court is getting slower and slower, and the temperature at night is not more than ten degrees at most, but the cotton clothes of the imperial court have not yet landed, which makes Liu Hongjian very upset.

"My lord, Governor Baba asks for instructions on what to do with the captives and civilians in the city." Su Ketu entered the big tent and walked over.

"There are more than 16,000 Rakshasas captive, and there are at least 50,000 civilians in the city." Lin He didn't wait for Liu Hong's order and reminded in a low voice.

Especially the more than 16,000 captives, all of whom voluntarily laid down their arms and knelt, thinking of the fate of these people next

Liu Hong gradually took a sip of the wine glass, he didn't understand what Lin He meant, but Ci was not in charge of the army, and the deeper he went into the heart of the hinterland of the Rakshasa country, the more ruthless he became.

If you are not cruel to others, you are cruel to yourself, just look at the eyes of the Rakshasa people.

"Ordered Baba to block the city gate, collect firewood and light the fire, Lin He and Lu Haibo guarded the gap in the city wall with soldiers, don't run a Rakshasa man."
