Nanming Engineer

Chapter 454 surrender
The shield chariots of the Han army dragged and moved forward awkwardly. Every soldier was worried and carefully hid his body behind the shield chariot, lest his limbs be exposed. He looked like a weasel trying to steal a chicken.

After walking a little farther, the Qing army behind could not hear the sound. Some disgruntled soldiers in the Han army began to complain. They all saw with their own eyes that the Han army was slaughtered like a pack of dogs yesterday, and the Ming army was buried in the ground. The sky-shattering thunder is like a raging fire from hell, burning tens of thousands of corpses all over the field. How can such a killer weapon be resisted by a few wooden shield chariots?

The ground under their feet still smelled of blood. Although the corpses were taken back overnight by people from both sides, the broken weapons and scorched remains of shield vehicles all told the story of the battle that took place yesterday. Terrible, the mud ponds formed by the heavy rain for several days on some grounds are not yet dry, and the black and purple blood is still rippling in them. When the military boots are stepped on, there is a "squeaky" sound, and occasionally some severed hands can be stepped on, which is disgusting and timid.

Those sturdy Ming soldiers are also difficult to deal with. There is no pressure to cut against the Mongols with a knife. Maybe the Qin army and some of the chief general's servants can compare with them, but there are many Ming soldiers, at least tens of thousands , are all so capable of fighting.

Looking at myself, the team of thousands of people is distorted, and even the leader Bai Guangen is a defeated soldier who escaped from the dead yesterday. How to fight?
If it weren't for the daggers of the Mongolian warlords behind them, this group of Han troops would have run away long ago, and it was obvious that they were going to be cannon fodder and gunpowder, and only fools would do it!
"Damn it! If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have made it clear. How can you treat us as human beings in such a matter?"

"When I was in the Ming Dynasty, even though I was a soldier's servant, I was able to save my life at least, and I was able to run when the situation was wrong. Now I can't even run!"

"Uncle Jianzhou's life is his life, but the fathers are not? Your mother!"

"It's easy to be an official, high above you, and take refuge in the countless glory and wealth of the Qing Dynasty, but it's hard for us big soldiers, not to mention working hard for them one day, in the end we have to pay for our lives."

"No, this is different from what I said at the beginning. It doesn't mean that as long as you take refuge in the Qing Dynasty, you can eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day. You can grab everything for yourself, and you won't deduct food and salary. I said how could there be such a thing?" Waiting for a good thing! It seems that I was fooled today!"

"What should we do now? The Ming Army Muzha is in front of us, what should we do?"

The buzzing sound is like a fly hovering above the head, lingering, and it is getting louder and louder. At first, it was just a few big soldiers talking quietly, but as time went by, more and more people were talking. Unbridled Zen, even the Qing court was scolded, one can imagine how disappointed and indignant this group of Han soldiers were.

Some officers still wanted to suppress them, but no one dared to jump out from behind the shield car to beat and scold them.

There are at least more than 100 people behind each shield car, and there are hundreds of people at most, like a group of bugs attached to a piece of wood. Taking the shield car as a unit, the Han soldiers walked forward with their waists bowed, yelling and cursing in a low voice. discuss it.

Bai Guangen listened to all of these, even a group of Han soldiers who were not servants behind the shield car he was in were muttering dissatisfiedly. He heard them all, but he didn't make any moves, not even a word of cursing, let them go up.

Anyway, more than half of the people will die later, so why bother so much at this time?
Amidst the noisy sound, when the group of shield vehicles approached less than two miles away from the Ming army's position, a cannon that could shatter the air exploded under the wall of Shiling Pass.

"boom!"

The huge roar of the Shenwei Cannon overwhelmed all other sounds, and a puff of green smoke rose up, like a group of elves flying into the sky under the sun.

It's like a churning nightshade.

Everyone, including Dorgon in the Qing army's large formation, the Mongolian soldiers supervising the battle, and Bai Guangen behind the shield chariot, all turned their eyes to the place where the blue smoke rose.

Only one Shenwei cannon fired, but the sound was like ten red cannons roaring, which showed the huge power of the yellow gunpowder.

A huge iron bullet shot out from the muzzle, and with an afterimage, it quickly crossed the open space between the two armies. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it accurately hit a shield vehicle in front.

The thick pine guard board seemed to be smashed by a giant fist, and the flying wood scattered in the air, which did not play its due role at all.The few people behind the guard were torn apart along with the wood chips, turning into bloody lumps and exploding. More people were knocked down like bowling balls, and the surging iron bullets continued to push forward unabated. , taking away human life, limbs, and flesh and blood along the way.

Like throwing a stone on the surface of the water, ripples were splashed, and the remaining shield vehicles froze for a moment and stopped.

It's like the boots upstairs finally hit the ground, and the thing that has been feared finally happened. Although he knew that death would come sooner or later, when it finally came, the Han army's psychology immediately collapsed.

"Ah~~!!!" The heart-piercing screams of the wounded echoed in the air. For some reason, the Ming army's bombardment changed from the previous salvo of at least a dozen guns to single-cannon one-cannon. Shooting, there is no spectacle of several iron bullets rolling and roaring at the same time, but it is even more worrying.

Because no one knows who the next shot will be aimed at.

The terrified Han soldiers looked at each other, not knowing whether to move forward or turn around and flee.

At the critical moment, Bai Guangen was silent. He hid behind his shield car, did not say a word, did nothing, but nervously peeped ahead through the small hole on the shield car.

As if waiting for something.

The second shell arrived as expected. This shell did not hit any of the shield vehicles. It flew over everyone's heads and hit the ground more than ten feet behind them. It jumped a few times before stopping. Do not move.

Looking at the round lump the size of a watermelon, the dark iron bullet body glowing darkly, and imagining the tragic situation after this thing hit them, the Han soldiers all swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Immediately afterwards, the third cannon shot hit the eardrums. This time, it was not so lucky, and another shielded vehicle was hit. Flying obliquely again, passing the Han army lined up behind several shield vehicles in a row, causing heavy casualties.

"Oh my god!" Finally, someone in the Han army who was splashed with blood couldn't bear it anymore, got up and ran away with his legs spread.

This is normal, and it's different from fighting face to face. Anyone will collapse when faced with a fighting style in which the opponent can only fight themselves but not the opponent.Especially for the Han army whose will to fight is not so firm, it is even worse.

If one escapes alone, the people around him will soon be mobilized. Dozens of people immediately join in, throw away their weapons, and run back in a daze.

The Mongolian soldiers supervising the battle team in the rear began to draw their bows and arrows, waiting for these deserters to come into range.

Bai Guangen seemed to be waiting for this moment. He stood up suddenly, took out a huge white flag from his arms, waved it in his hands, stepped on the shield car, raised his hands high, and shouted wildly: "Brothers! If you fight again, It's a dead end, we won't fight! We'll do it anyway!"

His personal soldiers tightly surrounded the surroundings, armed with knives and guns, guarding the surroundings vigilantly, lest those who are determined to serve the Qing Dynasty take advantage of the loopholes to kill Bai Guangen.

The Han soldiers on the left and right stared at their generals dumbfounded, almost forgetting the iron bullets that might fly over from the Ming army at any time. This news was even more shocking than the Shenwei cannon, and it was simply sensational.

Surrendering to the enemy on the battlefield was a patent of the Ming army. When had you ever heard of it among the Qing army?Bai Guangen still has family members in Beijing, don't you want them anymore?Do you want the high position of the general?
Bai Guangen gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he had obviously made up his mind. He dropped his shield and cart, threw away his knife, and walked forward with a white flag high. He took off his armor along the way, and finally only wore white underwear. Leave a trace of what is easily misunderstood.

"Brothers in the Ming army on the opposite side, we are all Han Chinese! Let's do it anyway!" His soldiers followed suit, throwing their knives and taking off their armor. .

At this time, if Bai Guangen was not prepared, it would be deceiving ghosts. The other Han troops immediately understood.

Thousands of people began to remove their armor, and a funny stripping performance began in front of the Ming army.

After Shiling Pass was closed, Wang Huan laughed. He said a few words to Ma Wannian relaxedly. Ma Wannian nodded and flew down to the city.

After a while, the Ming army opened several doors on the low wall, and a group of Ming soldiers rushed out, moved the horses away, took a long rope, and began to collect the prisoners.

Because the Han army was already far away from the Qing army's formation, the supervisory team was beyond their reach, and there was no other way but to stare blankly.

Unless he chased after him and approached and killed Bai Guangen under the threat of artillery fire from the Ming army.

Dorgon and the others were stunned, but Bai Guangen's defection was beyond everyone's expectation.

After a while, Man Dahai gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Father, I will send someone to rush up and kill these bastards!"

Several other Jurchen generals immediately agreed, cursing and going to send troops.

Dorgon shouted, "Slow down!"

Everyone was startled, but then they heard the regent who was sitting firmly on his horse say slowly: "Go, tie up all the remaining troops under Bai Guangen's command and bring them to the front of the formation! I want them to watch their own. Pao Ze was beheaded!"

"Send someone back to Beijing, and kill Bai Guangen all over his family!"
