    Listening to the two to three hundred sharpshooters, Liu Siwu couldn't help but look a little solemn. He knew very well how much casualties such a number of sharpshooters would cause. After thinking for a while, he said: "How does General Bai identify these sharpshooters?"  "How can we easily identify them among thousands of troops? What's more, they just shoot away and never stop. There is no trace at all." Bai Jue glanced at the crowd of people slowly coming under the city like a flood, and some  He said bitterly: "Every time I clean up the battlefield, I find that those sharpshooters almost have the habit of shooting in the head. The heads that are penetrated by sharp arrows are all their masterpieces, and the arrows are also different. During a large-scale siege  In battles, thousands of soldiers would often die at their hands. However, they were still not as good as the Mini gunners. After a battle, they had to rest for ten and a half months before they could recover. Such a large-scale siege like today must be  They are indispensable. If General Dongyang Bonai is injured, it will shake the morale of the army" "Thank you for reminding me." Liu Siwu nodded and said, "I need to trouble General Bai to prepare two shields."  After experiencing a large-scale city defense battle, he was unwilling to give up such a rare opportunity to observe. After a short pause, he ordered his adjutant: "Send the order to the officers and soldiers to pay attention to the opponent's sharpshooters." There was no expected cry, and the siege of the city  The army has been marching steadily in silence, and the defenders on the city wall are also waiting in silence, waiting for a fierce battle to come. No one on the offensive and defensive sides knows whether they will live to see the sun tomorrow.  Xuanfu City is a square city with very long walls on each side, six miles and thirteen steps long. Although the walls are tall and thick, from the perspective of the escort artillery, they are still not thick enough, let alone field artillery.  Even the large French cannons cannot be set up on the city wall. A row of ten large-mouthed and short-bellied carronade cannons is really weak on the six-mile-long city wall.  Therefore, it can only focus on defense.  The barbican outside Changping Gate is a key defense place. There are three carronade cannons placed. Squad leader Zhao Changxin glanced at the installed carronade cannons and then looked at the ant-like crowds under the city wall. He felt that he had overlooked something.  He loudly ordered: "Be ready for shelling, maximum shooting anglewhat are you doing? Gunpowder and shells must be separated, this is a detail! Details! How many times have I reminded you!" A group of archers around him shouted.  They looked at the busy artillerymen without saying a word. They had heard about the power of the artillery of the escort, but no one had seen it with their own eyes. What made them even more envious was that the soldiers of the escort had two silver coins a month.  And the food is so good that even hundreds of them are envious.  "We have it all. Get ready to launch." A member of the household shouted loudly.  Battalion Commander Tang Shuisheng glanced at them and said nothing. The opponent was still more than 300 steps away. The superiors asked them to save ammunition, so his musketeers moved closer before attacking.  The siege officers and soldiers who had been silent paused for a moment three hundred steps away from the city wall, then burst out with earth-shaking shouts and quickly rushed towards the city wall. The shouts erupted from all directions made people's blood boil.  This was the first time for Zhao Changxin to witness such a big scene, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly.  "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!" Orders sounded one after another.  The archers who had been waiting for a long time immediately unfurled their bows and nocked arrows. In an instant, arrows rained down like rain. Tang Shuisheng stood on the city wall and watched coldly. Although the arrows rained from the sky, the damage was not great. The charging soldiers waved small bucklers.  Can block most arrows falling from the head.  The flood-like crowd soon approached the city wall a hundred and fifty steps away. Carronades and Franchise cannons opened fire one after another, and miniguns also began to fire.  In an instant, the sound of artillery and gunfire rang out, and the bows and arrows changed from projecting to shooting straight down. The troops attacking the city fell down in pieces like wheat. Squad leader Zhao Changxin kept staring at a car pushed by dozens of people.  Rushing forward quickly.  The first two shots failed to hit accurately, which made him a little annoyed. He glanced at the assault vehicle again, turned back and said in a deep voice: "The propellant is reduced" before he finished speaking.  An arrow hit him in the back of the head. He swayed and fell down the city wall.  "Shield cover." The deputy squad leader's eyes turned red and he shouted sternly: "Reduce the propellant by 30%, fire! Fire!" "Bang, bang, bang," three consecutive rounds of exploding bombs exploded near the charging car, immediately knocking the people nearby off their backs.  The car also stopped immediately.  Zhao Changxin was not the only one who was killed by arrows. More than a dozen soldiers on the wall above the Wengcheng were shot dead in a short period of time. Seeing this, the battalion commander Tang Shuisheng knew that he had encountered a sharpshooter. He glanced at the bottom of the city wall, and saw densely packed soldiers everywhere.  They were all human beings. Who knew where the sharpshooter was? He could only shout loudly: "Send the order, and each company should pay attention to protection!" The bombs exploded one after another, but after all, there were only ten carronets and miniguns on one city wall.  They are also accurate every time, but the number is also limited, accounting for only 30% of the muskets. The archers on the city wall fired several arrows in succession, but the speed was completely slow.When they came down, the soldiers attacking the city were like waves, one wave after another, and soon they were close to a distance of sixty or seventy steps.  All the muskets on the city wall immediately opened fire, and the intensive gunfire rang out. The momentum of the attack immediately slowed down. However, because Xuanfu City did not have a moat, there were still a large number of soldiers roaring and rushing to the bottom of the Xuanfu City wall. Unexpectedly,  When they used various siege equipment to scale the city wall, countless grenades were thrown down from above. After the intensive explosions, there were almost no people left standing under the city wall. Most of them were rolling on the ground and wailing.  Looking at the scene in front of him, Kunduliha unconsciously reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The opponent's firearms were too powerful. According to this method of attack, there was no hope of breaking the city. He looked back and his face was as frosty.  Ida Khan murmured: "Khan, if we continue to fight like this, the damage will be too great. Even if we send cavalry forward to suppress them with bows and arrows, it will not have much effect. Can we feign retreat and lure them out of the city to fight in the field?" "Fake retreat."  ?" Ida glanced at him and said calmly: "If we retreat, it will be a great victory for King Yi. Will he pursue us?" After a slight pause, he continued: "Have you noticed that they can shoot from a distance?  There are many muskets, and there are nearly 2,000 on the west wall, with a range of at least 150 steps. Even in a field battle, at least three or four times the number of troops will be needed to encircle and annihilate them. " Shenjing Fort, the main camp.  After listening to Li Tianzhang explain Anda Khan's difficulties in attacking the city, Hu Wanli nodded indifferently. It would be better for him to fight in a battle, and he could have some achievements. Otherwise, this battle would only be fought by Datong City.  That small victory of wiping out two or three thousand enemies was really hard for him to publicize.  After pondering for a while, he said: "So, I am sincerely proposing to be a minister?" Li Tianzhang said cautiously: "I wonder how your highness will reward me after I declare myself a minister?" After glancing at him, Hu Wanli said: "I am.  "What is the request?" "Anda Khan hopes to be crowned king." Li Tianzhang said cautiously: "I hope that the court will not interfere in the affairs of the Tatar tribe, and I hope that your highness will provide a group of assistance to expand the territory for your highness." "There are many requirements.  "Hu Wanli smiled slightly and said: "It's no problem to be crowned king. I can give me a hereditary prince, and my brothers and nephews will also be rewarded. The court does not need to interfere in the affairs of the tribe, but  " He paused for a moment, then continued: "The court will plan all the territories in Tatar, divide provinces and establish prefectures and counties, and the court will also appoint some officials, but you will still be responsible for most of the officials.  , As for assisting firearms, there is no problem. Since Anda Khan intends to surrender, let him arrange it and I will meet him. " "Your Highness, this is an easy arrangement. However, I am worried that once the troops retreat, Xuanfu City will take advantage of the victory and pursue them.  " Li Tianzhang said for a moment and said, "Can I ask for a handwriting from His Highness?" Hu Wanli smiled and said, "I will send someone to Xuanfu City." Liu Siwu looked depressed.  Standing on the tower of Changping Gate, the opponent was surrounded by menacing enemies from all sides, but they actually stopped after only one round of attack?  Is there such a large-scale probing attack?  What tricks is the other party playing?  He glanced at the sun that was already setting in the west. The sun was almost setting. It seemed that there would be no more attacks in the afternoon. I wonder if they would launch a night attack?  Just as he was thinking to himself, the adjutant put down the telescope and said: "Commander, a cavalry team came from the Tatar camp, it seems to be our people." Liu Siwu quickly raised the telescope to take a closer look, and sure enough, the cavalry team galloping over were all  Wearing the uniform of the escort, he realized in a flash that Anda Khan had made peace with King Yi. The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and he quickly recognized that the officer at the front was Li Jian's adjutant. He couldn't help but  He showed a faint smile and said: "The war is over" A Yijun squad passed through the West Camp and entered Xuanfu City. This abnormal situation soon caused a stir among the Ming troops in the Beidaying.  The vigilance of all the civil and military officials, everyone understands what this means!  Mao Bowen, eunuchs Mai Fu and Weng Wanda convened a group of civil and military officials for urgent discussion.  "Everyone, if Anda Khan surrenders to King Yi, we have only two options." Mao Bowen glanced at everyone and said: "One is to surrender under the pressure of Anda Khan, and the other is to take the initiative to contact the governor of Xuanfu  Army, surrender to King Yi! " All the honorable ministers and civil and military officials knew very well that there was a huge difference between passive surrender and active surrender. So as soon as Mao Bowen finished speaking, An Bo and Chen Gui looked at  Maifu, the supervisor of the army, said: "I agree to voluntarily surrender. The peace talks between Anda Khan and King Yi are a fact. Our army of hundreds of thousands cannot be a favor of Anda Khan." "That's right." Weng Wanda took over the conversation and said:  "Right now, the army's food and fodder supplies are insufficient. It is impossible for our army of hundreds of thousands to break out of Xuanfu and return to Taiyuan. Rather than being completely damaged, it is better to surrender to King Yi!" As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and said, "Do you think so?  ?¡± PS: I came yesterday and todayFriend, sorry, I will resume tomorrow.
