October 10th, the first year of Chongzhen. clear.
After breakfast, Wang Qi set up an offensive formation.
3,000 Ming soldiers were in front.
1,000 biochemical soldiers in the middle.
20,000 Mongolian soldiers were divided into two parts.
The first part of 8,000 people served as cavalry, ready to intercept the Mongols rushing out at any time.
The second part, a total of 12,000 people, with many armors, served as the main force of the siege.
The remaining 2,000 Ming soldiers served as reserves.
Soon the biochemical soldiers set up an artillery position one mile away from the city of Geljurgen.
300 grenade launchers are ready to roar at the city of Geljurgen at any time.
"Send someone to persuade him to surrender." Wang Qi ordered.
Although I know in my heart that trying to persuade me to surrender is useless now, I still have to do everything in the show.
At the very least, let others know that they are seeking death. Daming Mercy can only satisfy the other party's wish to die.
Soon, under the temptation of five big steamed buns, a dozen Mongolians who were not afraid of death willingly served as the "envoys" of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Oba was not polite and directly asked people to take arrows to expel them.
Although Oba saw what the opponent was playing with, the distance was too far, and the grenade and cannon barrel were too small. Oba did not think that it was a cannon at all.
In his opinion, the Ming army didn't know what kind of trick they were playing.
"Fire." As soon as his "messenger" returned, Wang Qi directly ordered to fire.
"Boom, boom, boom" 300 grenade launchers flew towards the city of Gelezhurgen.
Although there was no ballistic calibration, many cannonballs still landed directly on the city wall.
The violent explosion of "tong, tong, tong" instantly flooded the southern wall of Geljurgen City.
Countless Mongolian Tatars were blown away without even having time to react.
Although the power of the grenade is not great, the killing distance of the cannonball is only 8-12m. If you are fully armored and 3m away from the explosion, it will be almost difficult to kill the enemy.
But most Mongolians are still relatively poor. Except for a few individuals, most Mongolians only have leather armor.
It's okay to defend against stray arrows, but it's really not good enough against grenade shells.
Suddenly, the southern wall of Gelezhurgen City was filled with wailing Mongolians.
"What a powerful firearm, Hou Jin was not unjustly defeated." Auba said with lingering fear after pushing his bodyguard away.
"tong, tong, tong" before Oba could give the order, the second batch of artillery shells from the Ming army fell.
The personal guards around Oba were all experienced in the battlefield. Without saying a word, they threw Oba to the ground again.
In the blink of an eye (10 seconds), Wang Qi's artillery launched three attacks. The successive explosions turned the area near the southern wall of Geljurgen City into a purgatory.
Countless cannonballs crossed the city wall and entered the city of Glezjurgen.
A big hole was blown out of some roofs.
Some fell and exploded into a cloud of dust.
Some fell into the crowd and splashed countless blood.
"It's on fire, put out the fire quickly."
"Save me, save me. I don't want to die."
"Father, mother, don't sleep anymore."
"Get out of here, don't take my word for it"
"Tenggri, are you going to abandon your people?"
...
Cries, roars, curses, and explosions filled half of the city of Gelezulgen.
Although Horqin Department
The higher-ups responded quickly and sent troops to attack the city of Geljurgen. was managed. However, hundreds of Horqin herdsmen were trampled to death because of the chaos.
. . .
"Prepare to attack the city!" Following Wang Qi's order, five Mongolian soldiers, riding horses and carrying explosive packs, quickly headed towards the city gate.
The 300 biochemical soldiers behind them led a 12,000-strong siege army, and they marched towards the city of Geljurgen in a mighty manner.
Because the Mongols on the city wall suffered heavy losses in the previous shelling, there was even a little chaos on the city wall. Oba could only watch as five Mongolian cavalry entered the cave with explosive bags in their hands.
"Boom!" There was only a loud bang, and the seemingly solid city gate instantly became a pile of fragments. The Mongolian Tatars hiding behind had no time to react and were torn apart by the flying debris.
"The city gate is broken."
Countless people were stunned for a while.
Siege can still be fought like this. It was beyond everyone's expectations.
"kill!"
Before the opponent could react, 300 biochemical soldiers led a large number of Mongolian soldiers to the city gate.
"Quickly, block the city gate and don't let the other party in. Otherwise everyone will die" shouted a surviving Horqin general at the city gate.
But the soldiers around the city gate were stunned by the explosion just now. Only a few rushed forward.
But in front of the biochemical soldiers, these Horqin soldiers were like children. They were killed as soon as they came into contact and were defeated.
"I surrender, I surrender." As a Mongolian Tatar surrendered, the wind of surrender spread quickly to the entire battlefield like a plague.
Surrendering on the battlefield did not put any psychological pressure on these people at all. After all, except for the chief's confidants, most of the soldiers were ordinary herdsmen.
Although he occasionally played a role as a bandit and went to the Ming Dynasty to plunder, he was not the leader's confidant after all, and he did not have much loyalty to the leader.
Although the Ming army repeatedly shouted that chickens and dogs would not be spared, many people still did not believe that Ming Dynasty would really do this.
If the Han people were so ruthless, how could we nomads dare to raid the Ming Dynasty from time to time?
Killing the enemy head-on on the battlefield, the biochemical soldiers would not blink an eye, but looking at the prisoners kneeling on the ground in front of them, many biochemical soldiers hesitated.
They are qualified warriors, not butchers. It is not the behavior of a qualified soldier to wield a butcher's knife at those who surrender.
Looking in front of them, the "Ming Dynasty Warriors" did not wave their butcher knives at the surrendered Horqin soldiers, and the Mongolian soldiers couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't want Daming to be so cruel.
The loss of the south gate greatly affected the Horqin tribe's determination to resist.
Many high-ranking officials in the Horqin Ministry have already considered surrendering. But Oba Que, the Khan of Horqin tribe, refused to surrender.
Oba knew very well that the Ming army might forgive others for surrendering, but for him, the Ming army would never forgive him.
Either way, death is inevitable, so why not die standing up?
The only one who is pitiful is his own child.
Although Oba's courage was commendable, in the face of the huge gap in strength, the city of Geljurgen quickly fell into the hands of the Ming army.
Even Oba himself was captured alive.
"You are the leader of the Horqin tribe. Don't you understand what we shouted before?" Wang Qizao was on his chair, looking at the Oba man who was making rice dumplings in front of his eyes and yelled.
Then Meng Jie beside him quickly translated Wang Qi's words.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. General, our previous hatred may not be resolved, but I hope you can abide by the rules on the grassland and let go of children who are no taller than horseback. We people can die, yours Tengger will see mercy." After saying this, Oba directly knelt down on the ground.
