"Damn spies, how on earth did you find out about such ferocious firearms of the Ming army?"
"Heaven is going to destroy me, Dajin!"
These thoughts flashed through Saharian's mind quickly, but he finally decided to lead his army to withdraw. With the speed of the cavalry, the Ming army would never be able to catch up.
After joining the thousands of people in Kangding City, the 10,000-strong army was enough to roam the grasslands and slowly build up strength.
"Haug, let's retreat!"
"good!"
Although Hauge didn't quite understand his father's intentions, since Saharian was in charge, he just had to obey the order.
Saharian looked at the generals beside him: "Hugeleng, the Great Khan ordered us to withdraw to Zhangwu. Ben Beile will hand over all the firearms to you. You can lead two thousand elites to cut off the rear!"
"Battleshu, lead a thousand elites to open the way!"
"The last general takes command!"
The burly Hugeleng and the thin Batelshu did not hesitate at all, and immediately turned and left. After Sahalian issued several more military orders, he and Haug descended the city wall.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the east city wall was basically occupied by the Ming army. It was not that Jiannu was weak, but that the Ming army's weapons were too strong, and they would be wiped out if killed.
Another half-quarter of an hour later, the west city gate opened, a group of cavalry rushed out, divided into three groups and dispersed, and then a large group of cavalry also rushed out of the city gate.
At the same time, a thick black wolf smoke rose straight into the sky in the city. In just a few breaths, a wisp of wolf smoke also rose several miles away in the north, extending towards the north.
"General, Jiannu left the city through the west gate and escaped to the west!"
"More than a hundred people rushed out of the North City Gate, and they were suspected of going to Kangping City!"
"Hey, I went to Kangping City to report the news, but it's a pity it's too late!"
After listening to the report, Sun Chuanting chuckled and turned to look at Zhu Mei: "General Zhu, you may have to save trouble. Duduo in Kangping City knew that Xinmin fell so quickly, so he might as well have just evacuated!"
"hope so!"
Zhu Mei's expression also relaxed, and then she said in a deep voice: "Do you want to send someone to chase Hauge and the others?"
"Of course, but they must have left behind some of them. If that's the case, then we'll eat these people."
Sun Chuanting's face turned solemn: "General Zhu Shen, you lead the army to continue to attack the city and control the city."
"Gao Bifeng, immediately lead the army guards to encircle and annihilate Jiannu Duan's elite rearguard, and pursue Hauge!"
"The last general takes command!"
After Zhu Mei received the order, he led his troops and rushed towards the collapsed city wall. The army flooded into the east wall of Xinmin like a tide.
Gao Bifeng led an army of 20,000 men and charged towards the elite Duanhou elite outside the west gate with smoke and dust all over the sky.
Two thousand elite Jiannu soldiers on horseback lined up in several rows in a charging formation. Seeing the Ming army chasing after them, they immediately charged.
"attack!"
Dozens of Folang machine guns were deployed in a row, spraying fire in the horrified eyes of Sergeant Jiannu.
A Jiannu sergeant was hit and fell off his horse. The war horses jumped in pain, knocking the Jiannu sergeant off his horse.
But the Jiannu cavalry behind them stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to charge, but they were greeted by hundreds of palm mines.
After two rounds of attacks, only a few hundred of the two thousand elite Jiannu were left, but the Ming army only suffered dozens of casualties.
When the faces of the Ming army soldiers were clearly visible, thousands of flintlock guns fired at the same time.
At such a close distance, the remaining hundreds of Jiannu cavalry had no ability to dodge, ranging from three or four lead pieces to more than ten.
But some still continued to rush forward, but what was waiting for them was the formation of spears, which were directly strung into gourds.
"Last hit!"
"Pursuit!"
The whole process took only half a stick of incense. Jiannu's two thousand elite troops were completely wiped out, and the Fu army guards were pursuing them.
The encirclement and annihilation of the Fu army guards was incredibly smooth, and the entry of Zhu Mei's Liaoxi army into the city was even smoother, with almost no resistance.
The east city gate opened wide, and Sun Chuanting slowly entered the city with the remaining Wu Xiang left guard.
"Call the people in the city, capture all the slaves, and put them under centralized supervision!"
"Tell the people that anyone who dares to cover up or conceal the establishment of slaves will be killed without mercy!"
"Identify each other, find the Han people who took the initiative to join the slave establishment, and keep them under separate care!"
After Sun Chuanting issued the military order, he winked at a sergeant beside him, his eyes full of coldness.
Tens of thousands of troops were shuttled back and forth in the small Xinmin City. People were driven out of their homes one by one and crowded together on the nearby streets.
Looking at the Ming soldiers all over the street, their eyes showed surprise, relief, relief, fear, anger, etc.
Most of the Han people were surprised and relieved. Since Liaodong was occupied by the Jiannu, many of their relatives were killed by the Jiannu. Although they survived by luck, they were inferior and could only serve the Jiannu.
It ranges from scolding to direct action. Those who dare to resist will be punished even more severely.
Now that Ming Dynasty has finally come back, the days of bullying are coming to an end.
A Jiannu bannerman was found out, and a Han Chinese who had taken refuge in Jiannu was also identified by the people in the city.
"General, we are also forced to have no choice!"
"Yes, Jiannu forced us with a knife. If we didn't obey, he would kill us directly. We had no choice!"
…
"Shut up, general!"
Listening to the defense of the Han people who took the initiative to join the slave-building, Sun Chuanting shouted angrily: "The eyes of the common people are sharp. If one person says that you are, it may be an injustice to you, but two, ten, or a hundred people all say that you are." , is that still unjust?
You have the nerve to defend yourself by taking refuge in the slave establishment, working as a talisman, betraying the imperial court, and oppressing your compatriots? Are you worthy of interceding with me? "
"Someone, pull these dogs out and chop them down!"
"Sir, we Han people!"
"General, we are from the Ming Dynasty!"
"General, please spare us, we will never dare again!"
"Sir, please spare your life. We are willing to donate all our property to you. Please give me a way to survive!"
…
Everyone was crying and shouting, but the sergeants of Wu Xiang's left guard didn't care about it. The military orders were overwhelming. Two sergeants grabbed a Han who had surrendered to Jiannu and dragged him out.
The knife fell from his hand, blood spurted out, and hundreds of people turned into corpses in an instant.
The common people were not afraid of such a bloody scene, but only expressed their hatred. Compared to Jiannu, this group of people was the most hateful.
"Sir, what should I do with these slave-building bastards?"
"General, these bastards have insulted us a lot in the past, we must kill them!"
"General, you have to make the decision for us!"
Boom... boom...
When the people were complaining, a loud noise sounded from the west, far louder than any sound of firearms during the initial siege, reverberating in the air like winter thunder.
The people all looked to the west eagerly. With a smile on his lips, Sun Chuanting and Zhu Mei climbed onto their horses.
The moment he got on his horse, Sun Chuanting glanced at the complaining people, nodded imperceptibly, then clamped his horse hard and headed towards the west city gate.
The crowd of more than 5,000 civilians and more than 400 Jiannu bannermen were left stunned.
