The mortars in the city had begun to fire. Huge stone shells crossed the city wall and landed on the battlefield full of craters outside the city. The accuracy of the mortars was not very high. Except for a few shells that fell into the crowd and exploded, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Most of them just uselessly set off a choking smoke on the loess. Lu Wenhuan, whose eyes were already red, ran forward in small steps while shouting at the top of his lungs: "The change of life and death depends on today! Those who advance will be prosperous forever! Those who retreat will have no bones left!" Those who followed Lu Wenhuan were all recruited by him. The confidant generals, and Jia Sidao encouraged the generals to be integrated, so that the army only knew that there were chief generals, but did not know that the country's atmosphere was growing. It was very different from the concepts of building an army with loyalty and being loyal to the emperor and loving the people advocated by Zheng Yunming. Such a strategy , which allows the local commander to control the overall situation with only a few core generals. But the disadvantage is equally prominent, that is, once the core general rebels, the entire army will completely turn to the other side. The Huaidong elites in front of them who are rushing towards Ezhou for the sake of the foreigners are a clear lesson. Even Chen Guang, who was known for his calmness, began to lose his composure and ordered loudly: "Yingyang Artillery Team is ready! Wait for my order, one, two" "Don't move!" Wei Sheng, who was wearing a black armor, stood firm. Standing steadily on the observation deck like an indestructible statue, he shouted in a deep voice: "Let them get closer, and fight again when they get closer!" His Guo Yi's calm posture made Wei Sheng after this battle except Zheng Yunming's Tiger , and added a new nickname "General Shi of Ezhou". But at this moment, "General Shi" seemed to be overwhelmed by the roaring waves. Lu Wenhuan's most famous and brave crossbowman came into shooting distance. He had already raised his crossbow and started firing arrows. After a round of intensive and accurate shooting, dozens of Song Army artillerymen fell down with their arrows. The musketeers on both wings spread out to both sides, forming an evacuated formation, loading their own ammunition, and firing freely. With sparse but continuous firepower, they covered the heavy armored infantry group in the center that had gradually formed an arrow, and rushed towards the gap. go. "Fire!" With Wei Sheng's arm waving, the muzzles of dozens of Yingyang fast cannons gathered at the gap in the city wall sprayed out white smoke and dazzling fire, and fist-sized lead bullets enveloped them like a storm. The gap in the city wall caused the severed limbs of the first batch of heavily armored sergeants to fly in the air. The blood mist immediately shrouded the short gap, but such a shocking scene failed to stop Lu Wenhuan's troops. One of the advantages of the Song Dynasty army is that compared with those Mongolian troops that have not experienced large-scale firearms battles, they can last longer in the face of a large number of firearms. This is due to Zheng Yunming's almost cruel approach to firearms. The results of infantry training, but now once Lu Wenhuan leads the dead soldiers to attack Ezhou, the Song army will also face brave soldiers who are not afraid of firearms. Wei Sheng drew out the saber from his waist and shouted loudly: "Lu Wenhuan, I'm going to fuck your grandma!" The shocked Chen Guang had no time to stop him, only to see the armored warriors neatly arranged behind the Yingyang artillery shouting in unison. : "Lu Wenhuan, I'll fuck your grandma!" Waving a shining weapon in his hand, like a wild beast out of its cage, he charged towards Lu Wenhuan's troops. Completely ignoring that Lu Wenhuan's grandmother was also the grandmother of General Lu Wende, the deputy envoy of Jinghu in the Song Dynasty. Death and blood spread along with the sound of hammers smashing bones and long knives stabbing bodies inside and outside the city walls. People said that the heavy armored infantry's Xiangbo was like Abi's cry, which was unbearable to hear. In fact, although it was not said to be hell. , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not that far away from Yama¡¯s killing field. In the melee, Lu Wenhuan's soldiers relied on their fighting spirit to gain a slight upper hand, but Wei Sheng's men were also habitual fighters. The two armies piled up layers of dead bodies in the gap, but they both gritted their teeth and persisted, fighting to the death. Don't retreat. Lu Wenhuan's armor was covered with splatters of blood, and he could no longer tell whether it was his own or Wei Shengjun's. He waved the war hammer in his hand vigorously, knocking down enemy soldiers one after another. The arc of the war hammer was blurred for him. I can't even tell the difference myself. He tried his best to find Wei Sheng's position. He knew that Zheng Yunming's Tiger would definitely fight in person. Although Zheng Yunming's troops were famous for their sharp firearms, the most powerful dragons and tigers under his command were all light-weight and dared to fight, leading the way. of. Han Feng's Red Armor Attack and Wei Sheng's Black Armor Galloping are both famous killing moves. But among the troops and horses strangled on the front line, Wei Sheng was not found. Lu Wenhuan tried hard to distinguish. If he wanted to rush into Xiangyang, he must deal with Wei Sheng. At least he must be injured so that he cannot fight on the front line. As long as he boosts morale, Wei Sheng's men will not fight even if they are the last one. He retreated, but he only had 3,000 men. He could fight the enemy to a close with his momentum. If it really turned into a war of attrition, he would collapse when his strength was exhausted. Lu Wenhuan finally discovered Wei Sheng¡¯s location. He was surprised to find that Wei Sheng was not wielding his famous iron sword and charging at the front line to kill the enemy.?He was on an earthen platform behind the Song army's line, seemingly watching the situation leisurely. He was seen picking up a fire blunderbuss in a leisurely manner. Lu Wenhuan could even see that this fire blunderbuss was much slender compared to other fire blunderbuss. If he could have discovered Wei Sheng earlier, he would have seen Wei Sheng's soldiers struggling to hit the copper rod with a copper hammer and forcefully stuffing bullets wrapped in deerskin and deer oil into the barrel. This is a rifled gun. Of course, Zheng Yunming is not prepared to name it a rifle. A gun without rifling becomes a smoothbore gun, and a rifled gun is a rifled gun. This is Zheng Yunming's weapon philosophy. Rifled guns have many problems, such as the troublesome and almost destructive loading of bullets. I believe that not many shooters are really willing to use a sledgehammer to pound bullets into the gun chamber on the battlefield. But it has an advantage that a smoothbore gun can never match, the accuracy of shooting has been improved unprecedentedly. During the drill, the famous general Pei Gen even hit a crow on the tree with an experimental rifled gun. Therefore, the military informally called the rifled gun "crow shooting", but the cost of shooting crows It is expensive and inconvenient to use. It is generally used as a sniper weapon in a small number of equipment. The equipment of the rifled gun was only a year old. Before that, although Lu Wenhuan had heard of its name, he had never seen the real thing. When he saw Wei Sheng raising the gun, his instinctive reaction was to shout loudly: "Iron shield cover!" and then quickly Bu dodged and hid in the crowd. The shooting of the fire gun is not very accurate, and it is difficult to hit if you hide in the crowd. Several sword and shield players rushed over and raised the iron ball cards in their hands. The fire cannon was powerful enough to penetrate wooden shields and iron shields, so it was a consensus between the north and the south not to use wooden shields to deal with fire cannons. In order to fight against flying projectiles , both armies forged larger iron regiment cards, and even steel regiment cards, but the heavy weight of the steel regiment cards meant that not many people in the army could use them. The large iron regiment card has become a must-have equipment for the guards when the general is commanding the battle. After all, the general is the opponent's favorite target in a melee. The iron shield guards had not yet formed a formation, but the rifled musket in Wei Sheng's hand had already been fired. Under the high pressure generated by the explosion of gunpowder, the delicate lead bullets rotated and accelerated along the spiral rifling in the barrel of the gun, and finally roared with force. , flew straight to Lu Wenhuan who was among the crowd in the distance. Because the projectile rotates rapidly, the trajectory becomes a stable straight line and the speed becomes faster. Lu Wenhuan barely had time to react before the projectile shattered his silver-gray tread and hit his forehead from above the bridge of his nose. Lu Wenhuan barely had time to shout before he threw himself to the ground. He didn't even have time to feel the pain before he died. But he could not have realized that his death would be a turning point for the entire Mongol Empire. As the general was killed in one blow, the death-defying soldiers who had been fighting fiercely just now fled in all directions. Some of the brave men who had no time to retreat even dropped their weapons and knelt down, begging Wei Sheng for mercy. They all know that Zheng Yunming has always been tolerant and a person who knows how to use subordinates. Now it is not a shame to change the family again. The one who was really angry was the Mongolian Khan himself. Although the looking glass could not really see what was happening ahead, the fall of the flag was an obvious sign. The defeated soldiers who retreated brought back Lu Wenhuan's body, stained with blood. Lu Wenhuan's face was filled with eyes wide open as he stared at the sky, as if he was complaining about the injustice of the fainting. Hao Jing was very wise and did not say anything. Death is the most important thing. Lu Wenhuan's death naturally raised suspicions that he was an undercover agent of the Southern Dynasty. The storm was over, and Dahan calmed down. He must be held accountable as the perpetrator. Now Meng Gehan just roared loudly: "Let the Shenwu cannon hit hard! Let Wei Sheng know how powerful the Mongols are!" The Shenwu cannon fired one after another, but it had no substantive effect. Although the gap was widened, the morale of the defenders in the city was greatly boosted, and they repelled two more attacks by the Mongolian army. It was not until Prince Mo Ge personally came to persuade him that Meng Ge had to stop. It is a taboo for military strategists to blindly attack when conditions are not mature. Such reckless actions will only waste troops in vain, but will actually gain nothing. On the contrary, it will make the Mongolian army even more panic-stricken. Not long after, another sergeant reported: "Gundam led dozens of confidants to the south by boat!" Zhang Rou was furious, stepped forward and said: "Please allow the Khan, I will bring ten clippers to pursue , We must capture that guy alive!" Brother Meng looked at Lu Wenhuan's body lying on the ground and said, "That's all, this man was just scared because of Lu Wenhuan's death. This time he doubted General Lu for no reason and caused the army's morale to waver. He must lead To teach you a lesson, if Genghis Khan had been here back then, he would never have committed such a mistake." There was immediate praise at the door. Lian Xixian twirled his beard and said with a smile: "This is the attitude of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty who was very happy after hearing it. With such a mind, why worry about the world not being able to be peaceful?"
