Zhao Li started by surrounding three opponents, but was one player short.
Continue bombarding Wubao.
Brother Gao Liu had already woken up.
But the stroke became more severe.
He could barely speak properly while lying in bed.
"What kind of weapons did the Ming army use to attack the city?"
"But what kind of artillery?"
The voice was soft and muffled.
Sun Zigao Yan put his ear close to his.
After listening two or three times, he finally understood and answered in a panic:
"I don't know what it is,"
"Its sound was like thunder, and its vibration like the earth shaking,"
"The city wall has cracked!"
"Lower, lower quickly..." Brother Gao Liu hurriedly said.
Gao Yan asked, "But what about my uncle and half of the clan?"
"They were moved to Yanshan Prefecture."
"If we surrender, what will happen to my uncle and the clan?"
"We can't worry about all that,"
Brother Gao Liu said,
"The Ming army possesses this powerful weapon,"
"Another dynasty changed, and the army was strong and well-equipped."
"The Jurchens are absolutely no match for us."
"Quickly...quickly send someone out to surrender!"
Just as the grandfather and grandson were discussing surrendering,
A servant came running at full speed:
"Something terrible has happened!"
"Those militiamen have rebelled!"
Jin Dynasty militia
Also known as issuing militia permits.
Later, they simply changed the name to "Signing Army".
The Gao family received orders to assist in recruiting soldiers.
That is, to gather all the people in the vicinity.
It was sent to the military commander for approval as part of the army.
However, they have only just been assembled.
It hasn't been delivered to Wanyan Goushi yet.
When the Ming army crossed the sea, they immediately moved to Wubao for defense.
In Gaojiawu Fort,
Two-thirds of them are militia members who haven't been officially registered yet!
Chapter 1979 Private Soldiers
These people absolutely loathe war.
Even if they managed to win in the Central Plains
Even if they manage to seize the spoils, they won't get much of it.
Because there are military commanders above them.
There were also Jurchen soldiers.
After those people finished dividing the meat,
Only then did they get to drink some soup.
More than a dozen rounds of shelling,
It felt as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to split open.
The militia inside Wubao finally couldn't hold out any longer.
Led by several chieftains,
They began their attack on the Gao family's private army.
Some people even left the city walls to set fire to houses as a signal.
"Fire and smoke are coming from inside the fortress!"
Zhao Li raised his binoculars.
Seeing a corner of the city wall on the northeast side of Wubao,
It has been occupied by hundreds of militiamen.
He was waving flags haphazardly, trying to guide the Ming army in their attack on the city.
"Fight in!"
Zhao Li was certainly not afraid that it was a trap to lure the enemy.
A fire broke out in the city, throwing the defending troops into chaos.
He can turn a feigned defeat into a real one for the enemy.
The Ming army that came from Shandong did not move.
They formed ranks to defend the north.
Because reinforcements from Liaoyang are getting closer and closer.
The various ethnic groups' rebel armies, however, carried flying ladders and charged towards Wubao.
With the support of the militia inside the city, they quickly scaled the city walls.
"We surrender, you all must leave quickly!"
"Say that my Gao family is willing to surrender!"
Gao Yan roared at the servants around him.
late!
The Gao family's private army faced a militia force twice their size.
They were already suffering repeated defeats.
Moreover, various ethnic groups' militias entered the city.
Private soldiers continued to be defeated and flee back to the vicinity of the mansion.
The clansmen and loyal servants protected the grandfather and grandson.
They fled in panic through the back door.
They charged toward the south gate of Wubao in an attempt to break through the siege.
Before even reaching the city gate,
Dozens of militiamen blocked their way.
Soon, another hundred or so people rushed in from the side.
Gao Yan shouted hoarsely, "Get back!"
"My Gao family is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"
Nobody paid any attention.
These militia members were forcibly conscripted.
He was usually bullied by the Gao family.
Now that an opportunity has been found, I will definitely kill and exterminate the entire clan.
The Gao family's true elite private army
He was transferred to Yanshan Prefecture long ago.
Caught between two militia attacks,
They quickly retreated to the Gao family mansion.
Until thousands of rebels from various ethnic groups arrived,
They scaled the walls from all four sides and stormed into the mansion.
Like Jian'an City,
He would kill any man he saw.
They robbed any woman or valuable they saw.
Then a fire set various buildings ablaze.
Zhao Li selected two militia leaders.
Let them go back to their hometowns to organize the relocation of their families.
They all had to be relocated to the Great Wall at Zhenhaikou.
They promised that the Ming Dynasty would definitely provide grain.
.....
Northeast of Jian'an City.
Wanyan Pujianu gazed at the thick smoke rising from the city.
He remained expressionless and silent for a long time.
Behind him were more than two thousand cavalrymen.
Apart from the several hundred riders who escaped from the Hesu Pavilion,
The rest were all brought from the capital by Pu Jianu.
These cavalrymen were clad in sturdy armor.
But this kind of armor only weighs thirty or forty pounds.
It is far inferior to the armor of the Ironclad Cavalry.
Their warhorses,
They also have cloth and leather armor in key areas.
It possesses a certain level of defensive capability.
It can charge into enemy lines, pursue the enemy, and fire long-range shots.
During major battles, they were placed on the flanks to support the Ironclad Pagodas.
"Bojilie, the Ming army has artillery pieces; the sound is like thunder,"
A Jurchen soldier from the Hesuguan tribe who narrowly escaped death.
He knelt on the ground and recounted the battle situation.
"Of course our warriors are not afraid,"
