The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 853

This was indeed an accident. It cannot be considered that Liu Tianlu, Sun Dingliao and other former generals of the Guanning Army are idiots.

The walls of Jinzhou City are high and thick, and there are one or two hundred artillery pieces, large and small, and three or four hundred guns for defense.

It is reasonable for the "Red Banner Army" outside the city to launch an attack first. Once the attack starts, the artillery of the attacking and defending sides will always have to bombard it for several rounds. How could it be possible to break the city without making a sound.

It is now afternoon, why did the "Red Banner Army" choose to attack the city at this time?With the condition of attacking early in the morning, is it worth delaying until now?

The Jinzhou defender's analysis is reliable. Today's "Red Banner Army" really has no plan to seize the city by force, but the accident happened just before the Jinzhou traitor general made a decision.

That was the ultimatum issued by Liu Zaiqi, the top official of the "Red Banner Army" who participated in the persuasion outside Jinzhou City:

"Brothers defending in Jinzhou City, the 'Red Banner Army' has not launched an attack so far, and they have not even dispatched snipers to carry out sniper killings, but this will not be the case after today.

Our army will officially start shelling at noon tomorrow. What the "flying army" flying over Jinzhou dropped was not leaflets persuading surrender, but "ten thousand enemies". Whether you want to survive or not depends on how you decide today. "

After three days of listening to the political propaganda, the defenders at the top of the city had already known Liu Zaiqi and knew that he was a senior general of the "Red Banner Army". One general said loudly:

"Lord Liu, don't be impatient. Can you delay for a few more days? Brothers actually want to surrender and return to Daming, but all the city gates are blocked. We can't open the city gates without the order of the superior!"

Liu Zaiqi bewitched and said: "Shangguan refuses to surrender, the brothers in the army can defect and kill them, remember, the treatment of defection and surrender are completely different.

Brothers with beheading skills will have the opportunity to join the "Red Banner Army" first and become regular soldiers. At that time, not only can they eat cooking cakes and white rice every day, but also four taels of meat. The true color of five buckets of wheat. "

"Damn, ordinary soldiers can still have pancakes and meat every day?" Too many defenders are drooling, they have been half-starved for half a year, and they are too eager to have a full stomach.

The generals above the guerrilla level of the Jinzhou defenders gathered together to discuss how to negotiate surrender terms with the "Red Banner Army", and there were basically no senior generals at the top of the city.

Knowing that the deadline for surrender is today, if you show up at the top of the city tomorrow, you will be bombarded and shot coldly by the "Red Banner Army".

The Han army in Jinzhou had confronted the "Red Banner Army" for too long. Knowing the combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army", what they fear most is not being bombarded, but being sniped.

Fortunately, the snipers of the "Red Banner Army" received clear instructions to basically shoot the Tartars and Jiannu, and to spare the ordinary Han army.

Too many Han soldiers had the personal experience of Jiannu, who was supervising the battle, being shot in the head by a "Red Flag Army" sniper. Knowing that if they don't choose to surrender today, the Han army who dared to show their heads on the city wall tomorrow is likely to be fired. Scoop, all shuddered.

Some Han soldiers were even more afraid of the "ten thousand enemies" thrown from the sky, because this kind of defensive weapon existed in Jinzhou City. They had used it before and understood the power of this thing.

"Brothers, if the 'Red Banner Army' really threw 'ten thousand enemies' from the sky, how would the city be defended?"

"You kid is still thinking about how to defend the city? Are you being a slave to Jiannu?"

"Haha, I never thought of working for Jiannu to defend the city? To hell! I was the first to defect to Jiannu and join the 'Red Banner Army'."

"You guys are stupid. We've all seen how powerful the 'Enemy of Ten Thousands' is. When they fell from the sky, we couldn't tell who was Jiannu and who was the Han army, and we didn't even know who was going to turn against us and who was thinking of surrendering."

"Yes, yes! From this, it can be seen that it is better to defect and surrender sooner rather than later. Brothers, mothers-in-law and mothers, it is time to make up your mind!"

The Han army at the top of the city and the Goryeo soldiers immediately talked about it, and they were all terrified of the "enemy of ten thousand people" falling from the sky. The soldiers and grass-roots officials all thought that defending Jinzhou with their combat effectiveness would be death in vain.

It's better to die than to live. There is no need to be cannon fodder for Jiannu. The defenders have turned to fight for the beheading and surrender, so that they can get the opportunity to join the "Red Banner Army".

Someone yelled, and it became the last straw that broke the camel's back, "Brothers, it's the opposite! Kill Jiannu, and the Tartars capture Zu Dashou alive in exchange for a bright future!"

Immediately, hundreds of responders shouted: "Kill the slaves and return to the Ming! Brothers, don't hesitate, seize the city gate and welcome the 'Red Banner Army' into the city..."

"I've had enough of the days when people are neither humans nor ghosts. Brothers, cheer up and kill Zu Dashou, Tan Bai, and Hong Ni Yaka, who made great military achievements and sealed his wife and son!"

In an instant, there were tens of thousands of responders. The Han and Goryeo soldiers at the top of the city brandished their weapons and ran down the city.

Many Tartars and Jiannu shouted in blunt Chinese while fleeing: "We also want to surrender, brothers, stop fighting and surrender together. The 'Red Banner Army' made it clear that no matter Manchu, Mongolian, Han, or Goryeo, as long as you choose to surrender, you will be treated equally."

Several Han soldiers who started to kill Tartars and build slaves yelled, "Damn, tell me sooner! I'm splashed with blood!"

One of the generals shouted: "Those who want to surrender quickly throw away their weapons, or they will be killed without mercy!"

A Jiannu vest retorted: "Why do you have weapons when you surrender? If we Jurchens throw away weapons and you deliberately kill and cheat military achievements, wouldn't it be that we send you the head of the king to seek wealth?"

The general said viciously: "We have a lot of people, if you don't put down your weapons, you will be punished for stubborn resistance, and you will be killed without mercy!"

The vest with a high level of Chinese did not back down and said: "Although we are small in number, we cannot be killed just as you say, and I declare again that I will surrender to the 'Red Banner Army' voluntarily.

There are many people who have heard my speech. If you still come to fight, you will not only die a lot of people, but you are also doomed to not get any credit.

I heard that the 'Red Banner Army' has strict discipline. I am afraid that your behavior will be characterized as killing the good and pretending to be meritorious? "

This Jiannu was so eloquent, and the Han army who was refuted speechless burst out his laughter and cursed:
"I'm so fucking laughing at you. When did Jiannu and Tartar become good? If we kill you, it will become a crime of killing the good? Hahaha..."

Even though he said so, he really didn't dare to attack the hundred or so Mongolian soldiers who formed a circle holding leather shields and steel shields for self-protection.

In order to save their lives, it is very possible to fight off two or three hundred Han troops with the fighting power of these Tartars and Jiannu.

Moreover, most of the Han army knew that they were also preparing to surrender. Seeing that the Han army could defect to the "Red Banner Army" and return to Daming to live a good life, there was no need to go all out, and their combat effectiveness would plummet.
