392, I am willing to surrender

In the blink of an eye, the whole long street turned into a hell of blood flowing into a river. The officers and soldiers who were shot down by crossbows were screaming and rolling on the ground. Those who were hit by muskets were basically unable to move. Blood burst out from the wound and flowed along the gaps of the bluestone slabs on the street, drawing many red lines that were horizontal, vertical and vertical, interlaced into well grid shapes.

The doors of the houses became the most critical battlefield. Every officer and soldier tried their best to seize the houses. Zhu Jun soldiers had already prepared for this. At the doors and windows of each house, there were many spearmen waiting for the battle. During the interval between the muskets loading ammunition, the spearmen fought with 120,000 spiritual defense.

The officers and soldiers fought desperately several times but were unable to enter the gate of a house.

At this time, at the corner of the end of the long street, the five hundred infantry of the Zhu army began to advance. They held thick iron shields and blocked the entire long street with thick formations. The first one was the light cavalry of more than 100 officers and soldiers. If they were in the plain, the galloping power of the war horses would make the heavy infantry's hearts stir up, but on such a narrow long street, the cavalry had no advantage at all. When the heavy infantry pressed forward, the light cavalry kept retreating, and were squeezed into the center of the street and shot down by the crossbowmen on the roofs on both sides.

The man is overturned and the horse is over, and there is chaos.

At this time, some of the officers and soldiers' back teams were passing through the city gate. Thousands of elite soldiers of Xi'an garrison on their tails were still outside the city. They were ambushed in front, and the back naturally became chaotic. Some people wanted to rush forward to help the governor fight, while others wanted to withdraw from the city as soon as possible. Reorganize the formation first.

In fact, neither of these two ideas was wrong, because everyone's thoughts were not unified. As a result, some people came up with the hole in the city gate, and some people wanted to enter. Just in the words, the people around the city wanted to rush out, and the people around outside the city wanted to rush in... The crossbowmen arranged by Zhu Jun to take the opportunity to shoot arrows at them crazily, and the rain of arrows falling on the head became even more chaotic.

The three thousand elite soldiers of Xi'an garrison who were still not in the city finally stabilized at the call of a general officer. They were originally marching in a long snake formation, but at this time they began to transform into a formation suitable for attacking the city. However, the formation was just beginning and before they could even make a decent formation, a whistle suddenly sounded in the woods next to the official road, and Xue Hongqi led five hundred cavalry and rushed out.

Heavy cavalry is in front and light cavalry is in back.

Entering the distance of one arrow, the light cavalrymen set their bows and arrows and shot into the officers and soldiers. The archery skills of these horse bandits are still bad. However, there are many officers and soldiers, and the formation is chaotic. No matter how bad the archery skills are, they can still hit people.

"Ahhhhh!" The officers and soldiers who were caught in the arrow screamed in horror. The panic caused by sudden encounters the sudden silence made their legs fight and move slowly. In just a momentary moment, two hundred cavalry had arrived... These cavalry wearing heavy armor and aggressive are not something that infantry with chaotic formations can resist.

The heavy cavalrymen were a small team in every twenty cavalry, and they pierced into the officers and soldiers. Just like several awls pierced into tofu, they easily pierced the tofu into thousands of holes. All infantrymen who blocked the road to advance were trampled into powder. There were thirty light cavalry behind the twenty cavalry. They had already put away their bows and waved the scimitars that the northern Shaanxi horse gang loved in their hands, and slashed to the left and right sides. The officers and soldiers who finally saved their lives under the charge of the heavy cavalry could not escape the light cavalry's final blow.

The light cavalry swung their swords on the horse's back, and the most easily attacked position was the infantry's neck... So after the scimitar passed, huge heads flew in the air, bloodshots sprinkled at the broken neck of the human head, a bright red and beautiful scene.

"This is impossible...what is going on?" A general of Qianhu in the officers and soldiers shouted at the top of his lungs: "How could the thief set up such a perfect ambush silently? Why didn't the wind in Huaxian even come out..."

The sound ended here. Xue Hongqi rolled up a red whirlwind and passed by him. The second half of his words turned into a "gurgling" sound of hemoptysis. It turned out to be a knife in his throat, and blood poured into the trachea...

The five hundred cavalrymen cut across the officers and soldiers in just one cup of tea. Although there were not many officers and soldiers who were directly killed by them, the panicked officers and soldiers trampled on each other and caused great casualties.

Xue Hongqi blew a sharp whistle, and the five hundred cavalry whistled one after another to respond. Then the cavalry turned their heads to the right at the same time, drew a small arc, turned around the horse's head, and faced the officers and soldiers' military formation again!

"rush!"

"Go again!"

"Speaking of this, it was the first time we broke into the formation after putting on heavy armor..." a cavalryman said with a smile.

"Yes! Hahahaha, I didn't expect the heavy cavalry assault infantry formation to be so refreshing! I'm so excited now..." Another cavalry laughed.

"Roll... fuck it again..."

These guys were originally a group of lawless bloodthirsty madmen. Now that they have tasted the pleasure of charging into battle, they can't stop them. They laughed wildly and were extremely proud. They pulled their horses back and rushed towards the officers and soldiers again.

The officers and soldiers are really indescribable now. The chaos in the city made their Governor unclear their lives and death. The most elite heavy infantry was intercepted and ambushed on the long streets in the city. The remaining soldiers had already suffered a setback and were still repeatedly attacking the five hundred cavalry under the chaos of formation...

Another wave of bows and cavalry shot, and the formation of officers and soldiers was still in chaos and could not be neat. A general officer and several thousand-house officials in the army had given up their military power and gathered their servants into a group. Even if they protected themselves, their selfish behavior made the chaos in the entire army even more unacceptable. Then the heavy cavalry clashed in again. After a violent cut, the officers and soldiers were killed so much that they were everywhere.

After five hundred cavalry broke through the military formation, they whistled a few times, turned their horse's head again, and seemed to be about to break out...

The officers and soldiers finally couldn't help it. I don't know who was the first to scream, turned around and ran away. Seeing this, the other soldiers were not willing to fall behind. They screamed and dispersed the army and fled in all directions.

Xue Hongqi laughed and ordered the cavalry team to scatter into the four fields to pursue them, trying to kill the vital forces of the officers and soldiers as much as possible.

Just as the battle between infantry and cavalry outside the city was almost over, the battle in the city had begun to slowly calm down. The Zhu army carefully prepared and waited for work, occupying a favorable terrain. However, the officers and soldiers were suddenly attacked and rushed to fight. Under such prerequisites, the result was unspeakable.

The resistance of the officers and soldiers became weaker and weaker, while the Zhu army became more and more tighter. Five hundred steps pressed onto the Chang Street with a storm and overwhelming force, and advanced from the end of the Chang Street, like bulldozers. All the officers and soldiers standing in front of them were crushed. At the edge of the city gate were Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Renjie, Wang Er, Yingshanhong and others personally led a large number of spearmen to squeeze from the other end of the Chang Street.

Hong Chengchou, the military governor of the five provinces, was hiding under the horse's belly and was protected by several servants and soldiers. He watched the situation outside through the gap between the servants and soldiers. Seeing this scene, he knew that the situation was hopeless. He was a person who cherished his life. At this time, he changed his mind and planned to surrender to Zhu's army.

After gently pushing the people around him, Hong Chengchou let dozens of Dings shout together: "Stop! Stop! We are willing to surrender!"

"Stop! We are willing to surrender!"

Hong Chengchou's servants shouted loudly, and the sound soon spread throughout the long street. When the officers and soldiers who were fighting bloodyly heard this, they were confused.

"Stop it quickly... Please ask Brother Zhu Ba of Baishui and order to stop..."

The officers and soldiers shouted! The fighting spirit was gone.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a few gongs to beat the crossbow soldiers on the roof to stop shooting, and the musket soldiers hiding in the house also temporarily stopped shooting, but the five hundred infantry and all spearmen and shield soldiers were still in a tense fighting posture. The roars and shouts on the battlefield stopped, leaving only a few seriously injured moaning, but they quickly felt the strangeness around them and quickly gritted their teeth and held back their moans.

The long street became quiet, as if a needle could be heard.

"Hong Chengchou, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded at the end of the long street.

Hong Chengchou pierced from under the horse's belly. Although there were crossbowmen on the roofs on both sides and musketeers in the house, he had to stand up. If he hid under the horse's belly when talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, his face would be gone. Hong Chengchou tidied up his official robe, straightened his hat, coughed lightly, and then said loudly: "My army is still strong. If you insist on killing all the people, our army will have to fight for their lives and not fight back. We will bite off two pieces of meat, why not just stop fighting..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "If you don't say such nonsense, it's better not to say it. You can get back to the horse's belly and hide, and we will continue to fight."

As soon as he said this, the soldiers of Zhu Jun laughed in unison: "That's right, aren't you very good at fighting? Let's continue fighting to see if you can bite off a piece of our meat, hahahaha..."

Hong Chengchou's face changed drastically, and he felt that there was no place to let go of an old face. But he was definitely not an impulsive person. If he lost his life for some face, then he would not be Hong Chengchou. He pretended to think for a long time before he said seriously: "Baishui Zhu Ba, if you promised me not to slaughter the people, not to burn houses, and not to plunder money and property... I am willing to surrender to you here, what do you want?"
