Chapter 1634
Puff!
The deputy general on the top of the city led his men to the horse road down the city wall, and took the lead in chopping the soldiers guarding the horse road with the knife in his hand.
The soldiers guarding the horse road did not expect that the deputy in the city would attack them. For a moment, they were in chaos. Some of them left their weapons to escape, and some raised their weapons to fight back.
The deputy general guarding the city took the lead in escaping the city. When the soldiers on the city wall saw it, they had no intention of continuing to guard the city, and they all crowded towards the horse road.
There were only a few soldiers guarding the horse road. Facing the defenders on the city wall headed by the deputy general, they were instantly washed away, and four or five bodies were discarded on the horse road.
"Damn it!" The guard of Zhangjiabao noticed the situation on the other side of Ma Dao and gritted his teeth in anger.
It was difficult for me to let the defenders on the city wall give up the idea of escaping, but my deputy general took the lead in escaping the city wall, causing the situation to be defended to be broken.
More and more soldiers guarding the city fled to the horse path.
"All the servants followed me to the Madao to stop them." The Zhangjiakou Fort guard mentioned that he had knocked away the person blocking him and rushed towards the Madao.
With the help of his personal soldiers and servants, he quickly squeezed into the horse road.
However, before he could attack the deserters on the horse road, a cannon shot from outside the city directly hit his head, splitting like a watermelon that fell to the ground.
Red and white objects sputtered all over the ground, and many of the personal soldiers and servants around were covered with them.
"The general is dead, the general is dead."
A soldier noticed that the guard was killed by a cannon and shouted loudly.
As soon as the guard general died, the last bit of morale of the defenders on the city was gone. The defenders on the city wall flocked to the Madao. Even though the cannons were constantly bombarded outside the city, they still refused to give up and wanted to escape from the city wall.
The guard's personal soldiers were still loyal and righteous. Although the guard's broken head could not be picked up, the remaining body was still snatched off the city wall by the guard's personal soldiers.
As for defending the city, these personal soldiers and servants had never thought about it.
The deputy general who escaped from the horse road to the city was about to escape back to his mansion and wanted to pack his bags and prepare to escape from Zhangjiakou Fort, but when he heard someone shouting that the guards were dead on the city wall, he suddenly stopped.
"Is someone calling the general dead just now?" The deputy general asked the servants beside him with concern.
The clerk hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems that someone said the general is dead."
"The general is dead, the general is dead, run away quickly! The rebels are going to enter the city."
Just as the servant finished speaking, someone shouted the dead words on the city wall.
"That's right, the general is dead." The deputy general heard it very clearly this time, and was sure that he had heard it right just now.
The servant next to him said, "Let's run away first. No matter whether the general dies or not, I can't even defend Zhangjiakou Fort, so why not escape from Zhangjiakou Fort earlier."
"No, if the general dies, it will be a good opportunity for you and me." The deputy general said, "Go away, bring the people who are willing to follow us, open the city gate, and we surrender."
Several servants looked at each other.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go to open the city gate quickly!" The deputy general frowned as he looked at his servant.
Seeing that it was not a joke, a few servants hurried to the city gate.
With the joint efforts of several people, the city gate was slowly opened.
The deputy general said to the servants around him: "Everyone lost all the weapons and armor on his body and followed me out of the city."
As he said that, he took the lead in taking off the mail on his body, threw his waist knife to the ground, and walked out of the city gate with his legs.
Seeing this, several servants had to throw away the armor on their house like him and follow him out of the city gate.
In addition to them, some of the defenders who fled from the city, saw that all the deputy generals surrendered, even went out of the city to surrender.
"Order the artillery team to stop the artillery bombardment and send a team of cavalry to see what's going on?" Wang Yuncheng, the commander of the Third War Soldier, noticed the situation at the city gate ahead through the monocular.
The order was issued, and the cannon sounded stopped, and a team of cavalry approached the Zhangjiakou Fort defenders outside the city gate.
The cavalry approached the city defenders in front of the city gate and raised their cavalry guns in their hands to point them at the people.
"All the heroes with the tiger flag, I am the deputy general of the city guarding the city. The chief general of the city guarding the city has died. I have led the defenders in the city to surrender. I respectfully invite the heroes to enter the city." The deputy general said nervously.
He knew the muskets in the hands of the cavalry, for fear that these people would hit him with one shot.
"Wait here." The captain of the cavalry left a sentence, and turned his horse to return to the army outside the city.
He rode a horse and soon came to Wang Yuncheng's approach.
"Report to the Shizheng, the deputy general of Zhangjiakou Fort has surrendered." said the cavalry captain.
Wang Yuncheng nodded and said to him: "Go back and keep an eye on them."
"Yes." The cavalry captain agreed and rode back.
Wang Yuncheng said to his messenger: "Order the First Battle Barracks to enter the city and clear out the remaining forces in the city."
Not long after, thousands of soldiers carrying the tiger flag and the banner of the First Battle Barracks of the Third War Soldier Division drove into Zhangjiakou Fort.
After almost a stick of incense, a quick ride came out of the city.
"Report to Shizheng, the turmoil in the city has subsided. Please enter the city." The news came from the Kuaiqi that the First Battle Barracks suppressed the turmoil in the city.
Wang Yuncheng put away the monocular lens in his hand and said, "The guards followed me into the city, and the other battalions were stationed on the spot."
After saying that, he rode a horse and led a team of guards to Zhangjiakou Fort ahead.
Come to the city gate.
The deputy general who surrendered from Zhangjiakou Fort was still under custody at the city gate.
Wang Zizhe pointed his hand at the deputy general and said, "Take him with you and go into the city together."
It just finished snowing in Zhangjiakou Fort a few days ago, and there was still a lot of snow on the top of the city that had not melted.
Standing on the top of the city, the wind was cold and many soldiers guarding the city were huddled behind the chassis, and several people squeezed together to keep warm.
"Hurry up the beacon, the Tartars are here."
On the corner tower at a corner of the city wall, soldiers discovered a large number of cavalry outside the city.
"The Tartars attacked the city, the Tartars attacked the city."
A soldier on the top of the city ran down the city while shouting loudly, wanting everyone in the city to hear the news.
At this time, the soldiers on the top of the city didn't bother to shelter the wind behind the chassis and began to light the beacon.
The weather was dry and cold, and because the snow had just finished, the ignition of hay and wood were relatively wet, the smoke columns quickly rose, and even the strong wind in the air could not be blown away for a while.
News of the Tartars attacking the city soon spread throughout Zhangjiakou Fort.
The guards in the city came to the city wall with their personal soldiers.
"Where are the Tartars?" The guard general who had just arrived on the city wall asked Xiang a soldier guarding the city.
The soldier pointed his hand outside the city.
Sho looked in the direction of his fingers.
As far as he saw a large number of cavalry were rushing towards Zhangjiakou, but the distance was too far, so it was difficult to estimate the number of cavalry invading for a while.
"Damn it, I won't let me live a good New Year." The guard said fiercely.
