"Shoot!"

Bang bang bang!

In the city of Zhuozhou, outside the high walls of the wealthy merchant's mansion, Han Tong was leading the White Dragon soldiers to attack it.

Groups of musketeers lined up outside, firing at the Tartar soldiers who were emerging from the wall, suppressing them with fire and covering the other White Dragon soldiers carrying ladders through.

Whoosh!

And at this time, behind the high wall, there will be pieces of arrows shot out to kill and injure the white dragon soldiers who are carrying ladders and trying to get close to the high wall.

Han Tong had a limited number of troops, only more than 2,000 people, and the Tartars who had shrunk into this rich merchant's mansion were more than 2,000 people.

What's more, this wealthy merchant's mansion is surrounded by high walls, which is like a fortress for Han Tong and his cavalry, who did not carry artillery and advanced lightly.

They really had no other way to get in than to use a ladder to climb over the high wall.

At this time, Batu commanded more than 2,000 Tartar troops, and the high walls were stubbornly defended, and their archers were rarely able to shoot.

Bow and arrow throwing allows their arrows to jump over the high wall and kill the White Dragon Guards outside, but the White Dragon Soldiers are unable to kill the Tartar Archers inside with flintlock muskets due to the high walls.

Therefore, as soon as Han Tong commanded the White Dragon Army to attack this wealthy businessman's mansion, he was blocked, and he paid the price of dozens of casualties.

This made Han Tong immediately realize that these trapped beasts were not so easy to solve.

Immediately, Han Tong stopped the attack and summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.

As the generals expressed their opinions, Han Tong reformulated the offensive opportunities and started a new offensive.

"Quick, quick, all on the roof, be careful, don't fall off."

At this time, as Han Tong's ground offensive began, on both sides of this wealthy merchant's mansion, there were also two teams of White Dragon Army musketeers who climbed onto the roofs of neighboring houses.

"Shoot!"

Bang bang bang!

As these musketeers climbed up to the rooftops, they took advantage of the height of the roofs and were able to shoot flintlock muskets directly at the Tartar archers hiding behind high walls.

In this way, the situation has changed dramatically.

"Grenadier, up!"

At the same time, Han Tong also ordered the grenadiers outside the high wall to throw all their remaining hundred or so iron-shelled mines over the high wall and into the courtyard of the mansion.

Thundered!

With a sound of explosion, the Tartar soldiers behind the high wall were killed and wounded in large numbers, and many more fled to the back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army finally crossed the high wall and entered the mansion of this wealthy merchant.

Crunch!

The white dragon soldiers who entered the mansion soon opened the door, and more white dragon soldiers poured into the mansion.

"It's really troublesome, if we knew this, we should have carried more gunpowder and blew open this gate or the high wall, how could it be so troublesome."

Han Tong was also very dissatisfied and said.

Fortunately, at this time, he saw that a large number of White Dragon Army soldiers rushed into the mansion, and their frowning brows relaxed slightly.

"Dog minions, don't retreat, give Ben will go back, go back!"

In the mansion, Batu led more than 300 Tartar soldiers and more than 400 Mongolian soldiers, blocking behind thousands of soldiers of the Han army.

At this time, Batu saw that the front of the Han army was retreating one after another because of the explosion of the iron shell mine, so he led the Tartar soldiers and Mongolian soldiers to stop them, reprimanded them, and asked them to kill them again.

"My lord, the firepower of the Ming army is too fierce, let's retreat to the inner house!"

A general of the Han army, who was under the blue flag, stood up and pleaded with Batu.

Poof!

But what greeted this general of the Han army was Batu's knife, which directly slashed him to death.

"Dog minion, let you go back, and dare to talk back, damn it!"

Batu looked at the general of the Han Army who had been hacked to death by him and fell in a pool of blood, and said coldly.

Then, Batu glared at the large number of soldiers of the Han army with the blue flag behind him, and shouted: "You minions, what are you still looking at, go back." ”

"Yes, sir."

Another general of the Han army with a blue flag lowered his head and answered.

And more of the Han soldiers around him were glaring at Batu, and they were angry in their hearts.

The general of the Han Army, who had just been killed by Batu, was a well-known good man who treated his soldiers very well, but he was killed like this.

"What are you still standing for, kill back, and fight with Minggou."

Another Han army general with a blue flag, Yin Wei, who was taken in the Tartars, still chose to give in, and shouted at the soldiers around him who were unwilling to move.

Immediately, these generals of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, who were about to flee back to the inner house, fought back and fought with the soldiers of the White Dragon Army who had already rushed into the mansion.

Of the 2,000 Tatar troops who retreated into this wealthy merchant's mansion, only 300 Tartar Zhenghongqi elites and 400 Mongolian soldiers, and the rest were Han Army Zhenglan Banner soldiers.

And for Batu, the only 300 Tartar elites around him are his most trusted henchmen, followed by the 400 Mongol soldiers.

As for the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Han Army, Batu never trusted them in his heart, but just regarded them as slaves.

Therefore, at this time, Batu of course let the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Han Army and the Blue Banner stand in the forefront, and let them and the White Dragon Army kill each other first.

And the Han generals in the blue banner of the Han army were carefully selected by the Tartars, and they had long been desperate to be slaves to the Tartars.

Therefore, at this time, most of the senior generals of the Han Army Zhenglan Banner still chose to obey Batu's orders.

It's just that, compared to these senior generals of the Han Army's Blue Banner, these lower-level officers of the Han Army's Blue Banner, and the largest number of ordinary soldiers, are not so loyal to the Tartars.

Moreover, many of them have not forgotten the harm done to their families when the Tartars entered the customs and plundered them out of the customs.

It can be said that many of these soldiers of the Han Army are still holding grudges against the Tartars, and their relatives have been killed or humiliated by the Tartars.

It's just that before, they were hindered by their livelihood and could only work for the tartars.

But now it's different, they have been surrounded by the White Dragon Army, and the situation in front of them has a very slim chance of them rushing out.

Therefore, at this time, when Batu forced these retreating Han soldiers to return to the outer courtyard.

Many high-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers of the Han Army under the Blue Banner had a lot of ideas in their hearts.

"Big brother, these Tartars are so hateful, such a good person as General Qin was killed like this."

A soldier of the Han army was under the blue flag, and at this time he approached a sentry commander and whispered, his eyes flashing with anger.

"yes, what's even worse is that Batu's dog thing clearly wants us to stand in the way and be cannon fodder!

Most of this group of men and horses are feared by the Tartars, and the men and horses of General Li, their firearms are too powerful.

Look at the fate of those brothers before, if we kill it again, I'm afraid there will be more than one luck.

Brother Ren, it's better for you to take your brothers to defect, it's better than sending the Tartars to death like this! ”

A young man next to him, who was thin and had a face like a knife, also said to the sentry commander in front of him at this time.

"Xu You, shut up, you and Xiaolu will follow me later."

Faced with the bewitchment of this young man named Xu You, Ren Ta glared at him and scolded.

Then, he glanced at the deputy chief of staff of the Zhenglan Banner who followed them, and saw that the other party did not notice their conversation.

Then he turned to the two young men behind him and whispered: "What do you two think, if we turn against us now, what will happen to our relatives outside the gate?"

Xu You, your mother and your brother are still in Haizhou City, you don't care about them? ”

Ren Ta's words made Xu You's eyes light up, and he knew that his eldest brother was not loyal to the Tartars, but worried about their relatives outside the gate.

"Brother Ren, it's okay.

If you look at the current situation, we are now trapped here by officers and soldiers, do you think we can escape this time?

So, those dog Tartars in Batu are estimated to be the ones who can't escape from Zhuozhou City this time.

They can't escape, even if we are now on the verge of defecting and taking refuge with the officers and soldiers, it is impossible for the Tartars outside the gate to know, and our relatives will be fine.

And as far as we know, General Li's temper, his subordinates never leave a tartar alive, but they will be open to us Han people.

Brother Ren, in order to serve these dog tartars, it is not worth losing our own lives!

It's better for us to turn against us now, take refuge in that General Li, and then follow General Li out of the border and rescue our relatives. ”

Xu You was emotional at this time, he really didn't want to die for Tartar, he was full of hatred for Tartar in his heart.

When his family was plundered out of the customs by the Tartars, one of his younger brothers and Fa Xiao, one was killed by the Tartars, and the other was beaten to death by the Tartars.

It's just that he concealed this, and then joined the Han Army Zhenglan Banner to earn stuttering for his wife and a pair of younger siblings outside the gate.

But in his heart, he has never forgotten revenge, but unfortunately Xu You has never found a chance.

Now, here's your chance.

"Yes, big brother, what Brother Xu You said makes sense."

As soon as Xu You's words were finished, Ren Fei, the younger brother of Ren Tower next to him, also excitedly persuaded his brother.

"No, wait a minute." But in the end, Ren Ta was still not at ease and decided to wait and see.

"Kill!"

Previously, there was already a shout of killing in front, and the more than 1,000 Han soldiers who rushed back were already fighting with the white dragon soldiers who had entered the mansion.

Bang bang bang!

Then a loud musketeer rang out, accompanied by a burst of screams.

"Brother Ren, I'm sorry, I can't wait any longer, it's too late to wait."

At this time, Xu You thought in his heart.

Then, I saw him rush out to the other side, and went straight to the deputy staff leader who replaced the Qin staff leader who had just been killed, and commanded the more than 1,000 Han army soldiers who were fighting with the Blue Banner.

Xu You's martial arts are good, and he killed him suddenly, and directly killed the two guards who were guarding the side of the deputy staff leader.

"What are you going to do!"

When the deputy staff leader saw Xu You, who was covered in blood, he instantly killed the guards around him and killed him, his face turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled.

"You like to be a dog, Lao Tzu doesn't like it, send you to hell and reunite with your masters!"

Poof!

Xu You finished speaking sharply, and then the long knife cut off, cutting off the head of this deputy staff leader.

Then, Xu You directly picked up the head of the deputy staff leader, and shouted loudly to the many soldiers of the Han army with the blue flag around him: "Brothers, the Tartars let us die in front, are you willing?"

Anyway, I'm not reconciled, and the only way to survive in front of us now is to take refuge with General Li on the other side.

And the Tartars oppress us less, any of you have relatives, friends have been killed by the Tartars, and now the time has come for revenge.

Those who are willing to go with me to kill the Tartars will turn around and kill them, and those who are not willing to go back should lay down their weapons on the spot, which should save your lives.

Now if you want to follow me to kill the dog Tartar, come with me! ”

Xu You suddenly killed the deputy staff leader, and such a shout also made the three or four hundred soldiers of the Han Army Zhenglan Banner around him a little caught off guard, and they all stopped and looked at him one by one.

As for the soldiers of the Han Army Zhenglan Banner in front, because of the distance, they didn't notice the changes behind them for the time being, and they were fighting with the White Dragon Army.

"I do, my sister was killed by the Tartars, I want revenge!"

"Yes, the Tartar doesn't treat us as human beings, but on him."

Finally, after a moment of silence, there were finally people around who responded to Xu You's call.

"Brothers, then let's kill back and kill a few Tartars to take revenge. Kill! ”

Xu You roared angrily, and had already taken the initiative to rush towards the Tartar behind him, followed by nearly two hundred soldiers of the Han Army with the Blue Banner.

However, there are still many soldiers of the Han army with the blue flag, who seem to be very hesitant and stay where they are, not knowing what to do.

"This Xu You is really worrying. Fawn, follow me.

The brothers of the third outpost, let's turn it off, don't give Tartar our lives anymore, we want to take revenge, and kill Brother Xu You. ”

Ren Ta also smiled bitterly when he saw Xu You kill the deputy staff leader, and then lead people to kill Xiang Tartar, but then he still chose to help his comrades-in-arms.

"Kill!"

As Ren Ta's wave of people also turned back to kill the Tartars, they drove more hesitant soldiers of the Han Army and the Blue Banner to follow and kill back.

This is the case on the battlefield, and these soldiers of the Han Army have never encountered this kind of thing, and hesitation and panic are certain.

In addition, they really don't have a good impression of the Tartars in their hearts, and they see that many people have chosen to defect to the Tartars, and many soldiers of the Han Army who are under the blue flag have chosen to follow.

At this time, Batu was taking 300 Tartar elites and 400 Mongolian soldiers to deploy defenses in the inner house of this mansion.

Batu knew that the outer house could not be defended, and he only hoped that the Han Army Zhenglan Banner could kill and injure some more White Dragon soldiers and delay for a while.

He has also been determined to die, and is ready to fight to the death with the White Dragon Army in this inner house, and pull some enemies on his back.

Therefore, he only sent twenty Tartar soldiers to follow the Han army and monitor behind the blue banner of the Han army, and Batuzhen did not expect that these soldiers of the Han army and the blue banner would rebel.

In Batu's opinion, how dare these cowardly minions who dare not fight back and fight back on weekdays dare to rebel against them.

The twenty Tartar soldiers, facing Xu You, who suddenly defected, and nearly 200 soldiers of the Han Army's Zhenglan Banner, were quickly killed, and then they continued to kill towards the inner house.
