Such a strange scene appeared on the battlefield of Fifty Mile Fort. Thousands of cavalry charged against the armored chariots. The pale black armored monsters faced the battle without fear. Although they were not as fast as the cavalry, their huge bodies and fire-breathing turrets
They all showed strong combat effectiveness. Tachibana often used the term "iron flow" to describe the impact of his cavalry troops. Perhaps to the infantry phalanx, they were really as powerful as the iron flow, but in the face of real steel and steam engines, this force
The iron current has become a mantis arm blocking the wheel of history.
In the face of science and technology, all cold weapons are useless. The armored chariot has fully proved this with its actual actions. Before the cavalry can get close to it, the piercing whistle will sound. Even the war horses of the Xixia Army are very tired.
The war horses in the battle formation could not withstand such high-decibel noise. Countless war horses raised their heads and neighed, raised their two front hooves and paved like crazy. Some horses spread their hooves and ran away, ignoring the shouts of their masters on their backs.
end.
Not to mention the war horses, even the knights of the Xixia Army were stunned by the sudden noise. However, humans are not beasts after all. They calmed down when the whistle ended. Some people jumped from the horses and climbed to the chariot.
The people above used scimitars to pry the turret, and some people stuck their spears into the wheels in an attempt to block the powerful power of the steam engine. Of course, all this was in vain. The cavalry who climbed onto the chariot were hit by the fire cannons fired from the turret.
Knocked down, they fell to the ground and were crushed to pieces. The soldiers who used spears to block the wheels were thrown in by the wheels and turned into pulp. Occasionally, some shrewd Xixia soldiers avoided the shooting angle of the turret and slashed randomly with their scimitars.
Not only was it chopped up, but it was burned by the hot steam that suddenly erupted from the exhaust port, and it fell down while covering its face and wailing.
More soldiers rode past the chariot, their feet in stirrups.
, twisted his body hard and used the scimitar in his hand to slash hard. The pressure-resistant steel shell of the steam engine was chopped up by the Western Scimitar, leaving only a white mark, but that was because the black paint was chopped off and not the steel shell was damaged.
Scimitars, spears, bows and arrows were all useless in front of these strange-looking enemies. Tubu Lihua was helpless, but the honor of the head of the household prevented him from issuing a retreat order, which deprived the Xixia cavalry of their last chance to escape.
The vanguard of the Red Shirt Army only had more than 300 people, and the ammunition they carried was limited. Just when they were about to run out of ammunition, fire support from the follow-up troops finally arrived, and dense shells fell into the dense formation of the cavalry.
The explosion knocked people's backs and caused blood and flesh to fly everywhere. This was the vehicle-mounted mountain cannon of the Red Shirt Army Artillery Battalion firing from a long distance. After a while, the Tiger Crouching Cannon with a shorter range also joined the battle group, and the whizzing shells hit wherever they were pointed.
Why, the cavalry no longer dared to gather into a dense formation.
Tachibana noticed the smoke billowing to the east, fearing that the enemy's brigade had arrived. He asked the flag bearer to raise his fang flag high to gather the soldiers, preparing to launch a desperate attack, but suddenly his ears trembled, and a cannonball grazed Tachibana's head.
He flew over and beat the flag bearer behind him into a shower of blood, including men and horses. The battle flag of the tens of thousands of troops was also broken, and half of the flag flew into the sky. The homespun flowers were knocked off their horses by the shells, and there was a buzzing sound in their heads, as if there was something.
A hundred monks from the lamasery were chanting sutras. He squinted his eyes and watched his war flag embroidered with a wolf head flying in the blue-gray sky, but it just couldn't fall down...
When Toubi Tachibana woke up, he was already in the prisoner team. Half of his head was red and swollen by the high heat of the shells, and his hair was scorched. The other soldiers were also in a miserable condition, most of them were injured, and there were many missing arms and legs.
Yes, of course there were some cowards with intact arms and legs, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands and their eyes wide open in fear, respectfully paying respect to the Ming soldiers surrounding them.
Tubu Tachibana was lying on the ground, with two soldiers holding his head and feeding water to their captain. Tubu Tachibana waved his hand and pushed away the water bag, and squinted at the Ming soldiers who defeated them. These people were dressed and
The Shaanxi army that was defeated by him was similar, but the guy in his hand was obviously different. It was a black iron pipe mounted on a wooden support, with a long straight knife on it. It didn't look like anything special.
ah.
The soldier next to him told Tobu Tachibana what happened after he fainted. The Xixia army lost the guidance of the commander's flag and dispersed. However, at this time, the Ming army's cavalry had already outflanked him. I don't know when, there were also Ming army infantry on the mountain.
, after the Xixia army fought from left to right and still had no results, they dismounted and surrendered. Those who swore not to surrender were killed on the spot. Most of the 8,500-strong army of 10,000 people died in the battle. I am afraid that those who survived
There are less than four thousand, and many are injured.
Tubulihua was not afraid. He was originally from the Turkic royal family. After being defeated by the Galdan tribe, he was incorporated into the new auxiliary army. Due to his bravery in battle, he was promoted to captain of ten thousand men. Now there is no Turkic kingdom. All the people from the Western Regions are
The subjects of the Daxia Empire had a strong sense of belonging to this young empire. After joining the new auxiliary army, he seemed to have been reborn, fighting and killing, conquering cities and territories, and the honor and dreams of men were in the new empire.
This was achieved in the attached army. It was precisely because of his loyalty and good fighting skills that the marshal sent him and his ten thousand troops to take charge of the rear.
So what if they were defeated? Did the Ming army still dare to touch them? The Daxia Kingdom held countless hostages. If the Ming army dared not to release these prisoners, countless Han people would be buried with them. Thinking of this, Tubu Lihua
Signal the soldiers to inform the Ming army of their identity and request a face-to-face dialogue with their general.
The soldiers stood up and started gesticulating and yelling, something to the effect that we, the captain, want to see your leader, etc. However, the Ming army guarding them did not understand Turkic at all, and when they saw someone shouting and jumping, they just picked it off.
He fired a blunderbuss and knocked the guy down with a headshot, then shouted sternly: "Anyone who dares to make a noise will be shot!"
Tachibana Tachibana's face was splashed with some brain matter, and he jumped up angrily. Just as he was about to scream, the guard's blunderbuss was aimed at him again. The others were so frightened that they quickly pulled the captain down and advised him: "It's important to save your life now."
After a while, the enemy sent a man who could speak Turkic and sternly ordered them to lift up the wounded and go east. The prisoners slowly stood up, escorted by the red shirt cavalry, carried the wounded towards Weinan, and crossed the border.
The more I walked, the more scared I felt. They carried out a massacre in Weinan a few days ago. Is it possible that retribution is coming so quickly?
Sure enough, when they arrived outside Weinan City, a long wooden pier had been prepared. The prisoners were led there one by one, in groups of one hundred, held down by two red-shirted soldiers, and their heads rested on the wooden pier.
On the top, a hundred axemen acted in unison according to the commands of hundreds of households. A hundred axes chopped down in unison, heads rolled, and blood flowed into rivers. When the people behind were dragged up, their legs were so scared that they were weak.
, but the executioner's red-shirted soldier still had a livid face and showed no mercy. The steel mouth of the Liguo Iron Works' ax was very good, and there was still no gap in the head after it was chopped to the ground. If it were an ordinary waist knife, it would have broken.
Tachibana Tachibana was the last one to be dragged up. Looking at the black mass of heads, the smell of blood made people nauseous. Even Lord Wanfu, who had been on the battlefield for many years, could not help but feel weak in the legs. He shouted in vain: "I am Wanfu."
Captain, don't kill me." But due to fear, his loud voice in the past was now a whisper held in his throat, and no one could hear his plea for mercy.
Tubu Tachibana was dragged to a wooden block, his feet were already weak, and two soldiers pressed his head on the block. Tubu Tachibana's face was tilted, and he saw a sharp ax cutting deeply into the wooden block, and then he
Following the officer's command, the ax was pulled out, and then raised high. Tuburika closed his eyes in pain, and felt a chill on his neck. He knew that his head was about to leave his body, and might be eaten by wild dogs.
, he may also be sent to the rear by the Ming army to ask for merit. In short, everything is too late...
The ax fell at the sound of the command, and the sound of the sharp blade splitting the neck was very familiar to Tubu Tachibana. This was how they killed the Weinan people three days ago. He heard a strong wind in his ears, and he subconsciously stirred, but
It was found that the ax fell down after grazing his ear, and his head was still firmly on his neck.
Tobu Tachibana's armor was different from others' and saved him. Two red-shirted soldiers dragged him to an officer and interrogated him about the situation of the Xixia Army. Naturally, Tobu Tachibana, who was lucky enough to survive, told everything he knew.
, poured out the contents of his stomach, the officer took a pen and paper and wrote it down, and then said: "Okay, you can send him away."
Tofu Tachibana's heroic spirit has been almost worn away. People are always afraid of death. He rushed forward and kowtowed desperately for mercy, with tears streaming down his face and uttering words of mercy incoherently. But the red shirt army obviously would not let him go, the chief culprit.
The culprit, several soldiers came over and kicked him to the ground, stepped on his head with military boots, took off the bayonet from the musket, and inserted it into Tachibana's neck. A stream of blood foam immediately poured out, choking Tachibana and making him speechless.
Come on, my hands and feet are twitching. The owner of the bayonet is lazy and has not polished his weapon. The not-so-sharp blade is slowly cutting the bones and flesh on the neck of Tubu Tachibana. This kind of pain is far worse than an axe.
Much.
The last head was placed on the top of the pyramid of human heads. The soldier also conveniently put a golden helmet on the head. The head with slightly open eyes belonged to the Ten Thousand Captain Tubu Tachibana. He was the Ten Thousand Captain in life and died in death.
Afterwards, he also ranked at the top of everyone's head, and he died well.
In front of the pyramid composed of more than 3,000 heads, there is a graveyard, where the massacred people of Weinan are buried. Liu Ziguang spilled a bowl of wine on the ground and said: "Fellow folks, the Red Shirt Army has avenged you. Burn!"
A torch was thrown on the pyramid, and the pile of human heads poured with kerosene immediately burst into flames. In order to comfort the people of Weinan, Liu Ziguang burned the heads that could have been sent to the capital to ask for merit.
In front of the raging fire, Liu Ziguang's newly recognized daughter Xue Xiangying held his hand and timidly said: "Dad, I'm afraid."
Liu Ziguang picked up his daughter and said, "Don't be afraid. Burn the heads of all your enemies. Burn them all to ashes and you will no longer be able to harm the world."
