    Hao Jing, who had escaped from the Song camp, returned to the Mongolian camp near Ezhou at an urgent speed of 100,000 men. Meng Ge set up the imperial tent in the southern mountain of Ezhou.  The ears are as defensive as iron barrels.  Hao Jing, led by two quiver warriors, rushed up the mountain and ran all the way into Meng Ge's camp.  Brother Meng was originally very unhappy when he was woken up from his sleep, but after hearing Hao Jing's report, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured down on his pocket, making him suddenly wake up. He kicked a kneeling man down.  The Vulgar Fireman at his feet roared with a voice like thunder: "Call Lu Wenhuan and Gao Dao to come, come right away!" Lu Wenhuan and Gao Dao thought it was the Song Army from Hanyang who had done something, so they hurriedly put on their armor and hurried away  Go to the royal tent.  As soon as they entered the camp, they saw the generals standing at the foot of the steps, all of them confused, but the sweat on the dragon throne looked quite ugly.  When he saw the arrival of Lu Wenhuan and Gao Da, he ordered the two of them: "Ezhou has been unable to be captured for a long time. Do you have any good strategies?" Although Lu Wenhuan and Gao Da relied on a large number of firearms troops to attack Ezhou, they were not the main force in the siege. This time, the Khan suddenly  When asked, neither of them knew what to do.  When Brother Meng saw the two people at a loss, he felt angry and shouted: "I'm afraid you are not thinking about the strategy to attack the city, but how to take my head!" He immediately shouted "Huo'erchi, will you?"  The two men were pushed out and crushed to death with wheels." Lu Wenhuan suddenly woke up and shouted: "We are wronged. The Great Khan must have fallen into Zheng Yunming's plan. Since we surrendered to Mongolia, we have fought for the Great Khan.  Two hearts! This is Zheng Yunming¡¯s plan!¡± Brother Meng shouted with a serious face: ¡°What are you still doing? Push it out quickly!¡± When everyone looked at it, it turned out that it was  Guiyou Khan's son-in-law is not a prince-in-law.  Jun Buhua is the head of the Wanggu tribe and is a very powerful figure in the Mongol Empire. Others may have concerns, but he always says whatever they have to say.  I just heard him standing at the foot of the steps and saying to Brother Meng: "When Genghis Khan went south, it was my Wanggu tribe who surrendered first. The old Khan asked, your Wanggu tribe has been guarding the Great Wall for the Jin Kingdom for a hundred years.  Why should I still believe you? Wang Guhan replied, the rocks on the hillside will roll down the mountain, and the strongest wolf on the grassland will be chosen. Genghis Khan is so powerful, why does he still serve the Jin Kingdom?  ?¡± ¡°The territory under the control of the Great Khan now exceeds tens of thousands of miles, and the number of subjects of the Great Khan exceeds hundreds of millions. The Great Khan should open his mind and accept all worshipers. If he kills two people because of one unidentified word,  General Sinansi, who else will be willing to worship the Great Khan in the future?" His words touched Meng Ge's pain point.  This is also the pain point of the Mongols. The Mongolian tribes have a population of only one million and only 200,000 elite soldiers. They control such a vast land and prosper the people by subjugating the tribes and local armed forces in various places.  Therefore, they cannot execute local generals for no reason. If they are not handled well, it may become a serious incident throughout the entire empire. In many cases, they can only annihilate the tribes until they completely rebel.  Of course, there are not many tribes and countries that have not surrendered to the Mongol Empire today, but the foreign tribes that have surrendered are all watching what the Mongol Khan will do. Now Hao Jing only listened to a few words from the Southern Dynasty, and the Khan was about to order the execution of the two leaders of the Seven Kingdoms.  General Sinansi, who had tens of thousands of people surrendering to Mongolia, was not only seen by the Mongolian tribes, but also by the tribes and Khans of the world. Some people would inevitably have no idea after seeing this.  After hearing what the consort said, Brother Meng hesitated and couldn't make a plan.  This was a life-and-death moment. Lu Wenhuan suddenly shouted loudly: "Please leave some people under the sword of the Great Khan. I am willing to lead my three thousand men as a vanguard to attack Ezhou tomorrow, behead Wei Sheng for your majesty, and capture the city of Ezhou."  , Proving that I have no qualms with the Great Khan!" Someone immediately applauded, but Prince Mo Gedu sneered: "If you lead the army, won't you turn against the enemy and take advantage of the situation? This kind of strategy is the Mongolian grassland?  Even a child as high as the axle can't hide it." Lu Wenhuan knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "As long as your husband is alive, your words must be fulfilled and your deeds must be resolute!" As he said this, he suddenly pulled out the sword from the quiver next to him.  Shocked, she hurriedly tried to take it back, but was pushed away by him.  Lu Wenhuan shouted loudly: "A strong man serves a great country and never regrets it. Please bear witness to my loyalty!" As he spoke, he untied the bun on the back of his head and cut off a large lock of his own hair.  This is what the Han people call decisiveness. Although Meng Ge doesn't care much about it, he has been able to make such a decisive move before everyone, and Meng Ge has no intention of pursuing it further.  The Great Khan stood up, took off a huge sapphire ring from his hand, and said: "As you said, tomorrow you will lead three thousand soldiers as the vanguard of the Mongolian Great Khan to fight Wei Sheng. You must  Give him a good gift, this ringI will give you a reward. After you capture Ezhou, I will make you a local cotton, and Jinghu Xingzhongshu will save you trouble.  " Hao Jing stood aside, feeling very anxious. The Great Khan's actions were undoubtedly a legacy of raising tigers. If Lu Wenhuan rebelled against him, wouldn't it be a bitter pill for himself? But he also understood the Great Khan's concerns. There was no solid evidence for the accusation.  The guilt of Lu and Gao cannot be determined, and the truth can only be revealed when the battle ends tomorrow. The hard fights in these days have made Wei Sheng, the fierce general of Jinghu, known as Zheng Yunming, lose a lot of weight.  When he entered Ezhou, his army still had 27,000 people. In just a few dozen days of fighting, more than 4,000 people were killed and 6,700 were injured. Naturally, Mongolia  The casualties of the Song army were much heavier than that of the Song army, but this could not change the overall situation of the Song army being weak and the Mongolia being strong. Of all the attacks, Wei Sheng's biggest headache was still the behemoth Shenwu artillery that kept bombarding him from a distance.  As long as the city wall hits, it will fall apart and everyone will be killed. Wei Sheng organized assault teams out of the city several times to destroy the cannon, but obviously, all the assaults were ruthlessly crushed in front of the iron-walled cavalry curtain.  The reloading speed is very slow and the accuracy is not high, but its ultra-long range and huge power are enough to scare everyone in the city. Once a gap is opened in the city wall by the Shenwu Cannon, Wei Sheng can only temporarily build an inner wall in the city.  , and then used the tactics of three-sided attack to repel the Mongolian attack. Fortunately, his subordinates, known as Zheng Yunming's army, fought at the gaps in the city wall, and the Mongolian army's numerical advantage was not enough, so Wei Sheng successfully repelled the enemy's assaults.  But this is not a solution after all. As soon as Wei Sheng went out, he could see groaning wounded soldiers lying on the street, and more and more urns and corpses were piled up in the square. Although morale was still quite high, there was no shortage of food and grass.  , but Wei Sheng knew very well that under the Mongols' superior firepower, Ezhou would be lost sooner or later. But even he did not expect that the Mongolian army would suddenly launch a large-scale assault without warning.  The Mongolian infantry team that came over from the conflict did not have the usual strict formation, but it exuded a frightening atmosphere. This was the last ditch effort of the evil beasts forced into a corner, a desperate fight that gave up hope of survival.  Lu Wenhuan, who was rushing to the front, wore a full set of plate armor that was once awarded by Jia Sidao as a reward for his military exploits. He was carrying a heavy hammer in his hand. There was no way out now. He had to take off Wei Sheng's head or be killed by Wei Sheng.  After taking off his head, the battle flag with the word "Lu" held high behind him was raised high. However, he no longer charged into battle as an outstanding general of the Song Dynasty, but fought to the death as a sharp minion of the Mongolian army. Chen Guang looked a little surprised.  Years ago, such a formation was a symbol of a fight to the death, but now such a chaotic and dense formation is a taboo for military strategists. "They are looking for death!"  "Chen Guang said to Wei Sheng: "With such a dense formation and completely undisciplined attack, don't you know how powerful our army is!  " "Lu Wenhuan is considered a famous general in Huaidong, how can he not understand this.  "Wei Sheng had a murderous look on his face and shouted: "I don't know why, but he is really desperate!  Since he is willing to die, how can we not be kind enough to give him a ride?  " Lu Wenhuan's decisive blow indeed violated the usual attack tactics. Not only did he not organize a certain formation evacuation, he was not even covered by Shenwu artillery and light artillery. Lu Wenhuan knew this very well, but he also understood that only this  Only with this dense formation could he have the opportunity to break through Wei Sheng's defensive line and break into the city to launch guerrilla warfare. Once he could successfully break into the city, reinforcements from the Mongols would naturally come from behind him. In order to boost morale, he even fired light artillery  They gave up all the cover and just used dense formations and desperate pre-battle mobilization to mobilize the maximum strength. The children of Huaisi are not fools and reckless people, but Jia Sidao usually likes to use reckless men who are not afraid of death.  , and although the power and range of firearms have increased several levels compared to ten years ago, no general has dared to try to stop the charge of those who dare to die by relying entirely on firepower. Warriors who are not afraid of death will always be the best on the battlefield.  The protagonist, this is the mark that Jia Sidao has left on the Huaidong army and horses over the years. Seeing the large group of dead soldiers coming with the intention of death, any army and horse would be frightened by it, but it is a pity that this cannot scare Wei.  Sheng's men. The damp earthy smell of the temporary earth fort built behind the gap in the city wall has not yet dissipated. Dozens of majestic Yingyang rapid artillery are already on display. This new type of artillery was only equipped with the Song Dynasty army three years ago.  Wei Sheng's army and horses were among the most elite in the Southern Dynasty, so they were naturally equipped with priority. This kind of light artillery was inferior to the previous generation Shenwei General Cannon in terms of power and range. If there is any outstanding advantage, there is only one word.  It can be summarized that it is fast. Not only does it load quickly, fire quickly, and the projectiles fly fast, but even the speed of marching and entering the launch position is greatly improved, although it is not.??Using the earth-shattering power of general artillery in the past, but being able to flexibly move the gun positions around, it is very helpful to seize fighter opportunities and defend large fortresses with a few artillery pieces.
