The Ming army's besieging army was not large, but it was able to squeeze tens of thousands of Kurds into the center of the town.

The Kurds organized several powerful breakouts, with more than 500 people each time.

But as soon as these five hundred people show their heads, they become targets for sniper rifles and mg43.

The guys who luckily got together and rushed to the street saw another type of tank.

When the 25mm rapid-fire cannon is fired continuously, its power is simply devastating.

When the tanks stopped firing, the whole street was littered with smashed bodies.

As people are squeezed toward the center of the town, the density of people begins to increase.

The Ming army began to use howitzers to attack. The 120mm howitzer shells fell, and broken bricks and tiles, together with flesh and blood, flew everywhere.

A single shell can kill dozens or even hundreds of people.

No matter how firm people's faith is, they will no longer be so firm when they see the mutilated corpses and the people who were shocked to the point of bleeding to death.

The battle lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon when the Kurds finally couldn't hold it any longer.

Two old men with big beards came out holding white flags. After a short negotiation, the Kurds lined up and walked out, willing to be captured by the Ming Dynasty.

"If the fight lasts until night, the Ming army will definitely pull back and guard the trench positions!" Stuart said confidently.

"Abandon the captured position? Then return to the starting position, Stuart, are you okay?

Anyone with a normal mind would not do this."

"What he said is true, the Ming army will do this. They will not let the army stay in darkness!

After withdrawing, the Kurds could only restore their original positions.

Wait until tomorrow and today's attack will be repeated again.

Anyway, the casualties of the Ming army were so small, and the Kurds had nothing to do. What would happen if it happened again?

Moreover, every time they attack, the Kurds will suffer huge casualties. After several back and forth, it is estimated that there are no Kurds left in the town.

The Kurds are just a pile of meat in front of the Ming army."

Hulk looked helplessly at the Kurds walking out of Tikrit. These people made the right choice.

Although the Ming army was cruel during the attack, it was still tolerant after the enemy laid down their weapons.

At least, the Ming army rarely massacred civilians.

Unless the Ming army paid a huge price when they attacked.

Or, the people on the opposite side are all soldiers. Men, women, old and young will all attack the Ming people.

The people of Ming Dynasty seemed to have made preparations beforehand. The people who came out of Tikrit were divided into several large groups according to men, women, old and young.

Adult men were forced to squat in the trenches at gunpoint.

They had no food or drink there and could only squat helplessly.

Not too far away, there were Ming army soldiers distributing food and water to the elderly, children and women.

The food is Ming Dynasty bread, one piece for each person. Those who are not full will not have too much.

Swiss officer corps walking inside a prisoner of war camp.

By the light of the torches and the moonlight, one can see the dejected faces of the prisoners of war.

The women covered their whole bodies with black robes. The children were held in their arms, and the old people looked up to the sky, their eyes desperate and desolate.

"We have seen today's tactics. We will use this kind of tactics in Mosul in the future. This kind of tactics is called squeeze tactics by the Ming Dynasty."

Hulk said to the officers around him as he walked.

"But we don't have tanks, we don't have an air force, and we don't have weapons like sniper rifles!" Stulten said helplessly.

All the Swiss officers looked helpless. They didn't have the equipment that Ming Dynasty had.

Just like the weapons used by the Ming army today, the Swiss army has almost none.

"The Ming army will support them with a batch of infantry artillery. I've seen it. They are made in Germany and are small in size and light in weight.

Definitely better than a sniper rifle!

As for tanks and aircraft, we will ask the Ming Army for help and try our best to let the Ming Army provide them.

Boys, what we are about to face is Mosul, the stronghold of the Kurds. Can we make some achievements?

It’s up to you to let God’s will come to the land of the pagans.”

"General Hulk, when will we let the people of Ming Dynasty also believe in religion?" A short officer muttered in a low voice.

Hulk was stunned for a moment, smiled helplessly and said nothing.

How to say?

It would be great if the Ming people did not force them to give up their faith!

In the eyes of the Swiss or Europeans as a whole, the Ming people are a very strange group of people.

They do not believe in God, nor do they believe in the existence of God. What do they believe in?

It seems that I have never heard of any gods that the Ming people believed in.

To Europeans, this is simply unbelievable. But to people of Ming Dynasty, it is quite normal.

Let me ask, who doesn’t believe that there is a God in this world?

"God, how many teachers does he have? What we need is mathematics, geometry, medicine, aesthetics and other excellent Western knowledge. Who cares about their God?"

When Li Xiao saw the church at Xizhimen, he became very angry.

He looked at Sun Xing, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture who was accompanying him behind him, with a cold face!

Sun Xing knew that something was wrong, but after all, this was under the rule of Shuntian Prefecture, and he could not escape it no matter what.

"This is the construction that Mr. Tang Ruowangtang strongly advocated, and he also invited the first and second assistants."

Father Sun Yuanhua, the first assistant, is actually very useless. Everyone knows that now it is the second assistant Li Hao who has the final say in the court, not the first assistant Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua is also very good at life. As the chief assistant, he goes out all day long to conduct research and inspections and travels around the place.

And wherever he goes, there are large-scale projects.

Just like the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan Three Towns and the Yangtze River Bridge in Jiangyin.

The Sichuan-Shaanxi Railway from Hanzhong to Chengdu, and the port project in Huating.

Anyway, Sun Yuanhua spends most of his 365 days a year running from one construction site to another.

Sometimes, I even sleep on the airship.

Everyone feels that Sun Yuanhua, the chief minister, is more like the Minister of Industry.

Li Xiao frowned, knowing that Sun Xing was trying to pick out both himself and his father.

Without Li Hao's nod, no one would dare to let Westerners open churches at will.

If you think about it, you will know that when Li Hao was on Changxing Island, he studied with Tang Ruowang for several years.

At that time, Li Hao liked to listen to Tang Ruowang telling stories.

Now think about it, those stories are not all in the Bible.

Tang Ruowang found Li Hao and wanted to grant a piece of land to build a church. It couldn't be a simpler thing.

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. If Li Hao became a Christian, things would be very serious.

"Find an excuse to demolish the church. Drive away those priests and drive them to their own countries!

It would be better if there were fewer foreigners in Ming Dynasty’s territory, especially in the important areas of the capital." Li Xiao gave a vicious order.

"promise!"

Sun Xing hurriedly agreed. As for what method he used, it didn't matter. What mattered was that this church should disappear as soon as possible.

Li Xiao hasn't been to Beijing for a long time, or in other words, he hasn't been to the old capital for a long time.

Since the great development of Tongzhou, Tongzhou has gradually become the new political center of the Ming Dynasty.

The commander-in-chief's residence is here, the first assistant's residence is here, and the second assistant's residence is also here. Not to mention, the best hospital in the Ming Dynasty, the Army General Hospital, is also here.

Moreover, here is the best university in Ming Dynasty.

Yenching University!

The railway station in Beijing is in Tongzhou, and the airship landing and landing ground in Beijing is also in Tongzhou. The first dedicated airport in Beijing is also under construction in Daxing, which is close to Tongzhou.

Not to mention, all the prominent figures in the imperial court lived in Tongzhou.

Throughout Tongzhou, there are newly paved asphalt roads everywhere.

The jeep is running on it without any bumps. Especially when the weather is clear after the rain, the weeping willows by the river are even more beautiful.

The so-called old city refers to the area within the nine gates of the capital city wall.

Many places are alleys, and there are a large number of large courtyards. The people living in them are mixed, both good and bad.
