Groups of soldiers emerged from the ruins, raising their hands in silence as they congregated along the path laid out by the Tang Army.
They had held out for over a month inside Fengjiang City, and now the time had come for them to surrender their weapons.
As they gathered, they placed their rifles by the roadside, where an array of weapons had now piled up.
There were Maxim heavy machine guns and so-called light machine guns developed by Shireck, crude in appearance and performance.
It was precisely because of their poor performance that, aside from the Tang Army, many nations' main machine guns remained the Maxim, the same equipment used by the Tang Army eight or nine years ago.
This era saw the great development of weapons; every year brought new ones into existence. For a weapon to remain in use for eight or nine years truly said something significant.
