Wang Liangchen, who was watching the battle on the side, just watched with cold eyes. The Mongolian army supported his brother Wang Dechen and deliberately suppressed him. He had long been dissatisfied. He didn't bother to explain what kind of person Wei Laohu was to this prince-in-law from Mobei. Anyway, fighting with all his strength in Ezhou will not help his position. Most of the credit was taken by these relatives and nobles who followed the Khan southward. At this time, Wei Sheng was covered in blood as usual, which was the blood spattered by the enemy in close combat. Two of the iron spears in his hand had been used up, and the barrel of the crow fire gun was too hot. Unable to launch. As usual, he was surrounded by the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers. Even the brave Qixue guards were frightened by his tiger-like attack. For a while, no one dared to step forward to fight. So when a Mongolian general with golden helmet and dazzling gems on his shoulder pads suddenly rushed out, Wei Sheng was also surprised, but he immediately realized that this general might have recently come from Mobei. I have rarely heard of Wei Laohu's name. So he shouted loudly: "You barbarians, haven't you heard of Wei Sheng's name in Jinghu? I pity you, you are also born and raised by your parents, it is not easy to grow up, retreat quickly, otherwise my iron cone gun will drink up your neck." It's too late to regret it when you are bleeding! " Jun Buqi's face was red, but it was completely invisible under his gorgeous mask. He roared loudly: "You are really a Sinan Siren like a dog and a sheep. You still have a tough mouth even when you are about to die! You must be Wei Sheng! If you take off your head, we can capture Ezhou. It's really the best. Come here quickly." Die!" If it were Han Feng, he would have calmed down and carefully observed who this arrogant opponent was and what his true abilities were. But Wei Sheng's style was of course completely different. He roared loudly. , raised the iron cone gun and rushed over. Although Jun Buhua was not a newbie on the battlefield, the speed of the Southern Dynasty general facing him was unprecedentedly fast. He almost didn't have time to raise the war hammer in his hand to resist. Wei Sheng's iron awl had already reached his chest. He subconsciously He stepped back, and a row of agile guards immediately formed in front of him. Although he had no time to prepare carefully in his haste, the scimitars and shields in his hands could form a solid wall. If Wei Sheng continued to charge forward, It will definitely hit this wall hard. But Wei Sheng had no intention of standing still. He took a step forward, raised his hand, drew his gun, withdrew his gun, and took another step forward. It's like the standard movements performed by millions of soldiers from the North and the South in drills day after day. It's just that after being tempered in the martial arts field and the battlefield, this movement has reached the level of skill and skill. Wei Sheng He took four steps forward and stabbed his opponent with his iron awl four times at the same time. Each movement was as clear as the instructor had practiced on the martial arts field, allowing people to clearly see every detail of him, but that was No one could escape this shot, which seemed neither powerful nor swift. Wei Sheng stabbed the four guards in front of him in a blink of an eye, and continued to charge towards Jun Buhua without hesitation. Jun Buhua raised the war hammer in his hand to seal it in front of him, and still retreated unconsciously. . Wei Sheng did not give him a chance to retreat calmly. He strode forward and stabbed two more enemy soldiers in front with two spears. Wei Sheng's guards also rushed forward and followed Jun Buhua's tribe. The melee left the enemy with no time to pay attention to the general's embarrassing retreat. Wei Sheng clung to Jun Buhua during the fighting of the rebel army and refused to give in. The more Jun Buhua retreated, the more heartbroken he became. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when he grew up, he fought on the battlefield alone. He once fought against four Huarizi alone. The top-notch warriors fought and killed four of them, but this was the first time he encountered such a battle where there was no chance of counterattack within dozens of steps. When he was at his wits end, one of his followers who had been following him for many years suddenly shouted loudly and rushed towards Wei Sheng. Wei Sheng turned slightly sideways and stabbed out diagonally, hitting the follower in the ribs. It was this life-saving pounce that gave Jun Buhua, who was in trouble, a one-in-a-ten thousand chance of winning. He stood firmly with his feet as if they were nailed to the ground, spotted Wei Sheng's flaw, raised the hairpin iron bone flower in his hand, and rushed forward with a roar with all his strength. The news of the death of the consort Jun Buhua spread like a plague among the Mongolian troops on the front line, but it did not cause the morale of the Mongolian army to collapse. Jun Buhua, the consort who fought to the death, interrupted the Song Dynasty's majesty with his own hard blow. The right arm of Wei Sheng, the commander-in-chief, immobilized his spear-wielding right arm. Wei Sheng's injury became a turning point in the battle. The Mongolian army bravely attacked the Song army and successfully occupied several streets in the southwest city. . If Chen Guang hadn't ordered dozens of Ying Yang cannons to be temporarily transported from the east and north positions, set up artillery in the alleys, personally led the supervising team to the front line, and ordered those who retreated to be killed, the Mongolian army might have been there by now. They rushed to the vicinity of Ezhou Prefectural Government Office. In any case, the progress that the Mongolian army had been looking forward to for many days finally came true. In the city's attack and defense, about 99% of the time was spent outside the city walls. Once they broke into the city, it was only a matter of time before the whole city was captured. Brother Meng then ordered a break?, he wanted to withdraw the exhausted Qixue commando team and replace it with a new force to settle the situation in one fell swoop tomorrow. Some people criticized this at that time. They thought that the situation had finally achieved a breakthrough, why not Taking this opportunity to organize a night attack force to attack the city quickly, without giving the Song people any chance to breathe. Any famous Mongolian general in the era of Lao Khan or even Ogedai Khan would make such a conclusion. If you relax a little at this time, maybe the situation will be better. There will be unpredictable changes. But Brother Meng knew that the Mongolian soldiers who roamed the prosperous places in the Central Plains and the Western Regions no longer had the tenacity to fight in the past. After breaking into the city, they preferred to rob the residents of the city instead of fighting desperately with the Song army in the streets. What's more important is that the gunpowder in front has been used up. Without the support of fire guns and bolides, the current Mongolian army would not even be able to directly attack Lujiao and Jumazi guarded by the Song army. Compared with those days when they only relied on their crotch The iron gun in the palm of the war horse was far behind the 300,000 elite Mongolian athletes of the Jin Kingdom who defeated Huihe Fort. But the current situation is such that Meng Ge can only stop the offensive and temporarily collect gunpowder from the army and send it to the front line for replenishment. Only after the ammunition is replenished can he launch a new offensive. But for the Song army in the city, this day's delay gave them a chance to save their lives. During the reconstruction of Ezhou City, the original old city with a circumference of five miles was completely retained. This is a city built on the top of a mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Chen Guang now had to gradually retreat his limited troops into the old city. The injured Wei Sheng, who was still in a coma, was also carried into the old city. The main street entrances and alleys were blocked with stones and trees. Temporary resistance points were set up on some sturdy buildings. But Chen Guang always knew that these temporary measures were just a desperate attempt to extend the last breath of Ezhou City, which was on the verge of death. If Zheng Yunming, the commander-in-chief of the Song Army who supervises the frontline troops, did not take action, Ezhou might not have a tomorrow. With the same idea, there was also Li Tingzhi who had temporarily rushed to the front line from the Nanyang Economic and Strategic Envoys Department to wait for the call. Naturally, he did not witness the critical situation in Ezhou with his own eyes, but the successive military reports pointed to an obvious fact. Ezhou had already survived. Can't go down anymore. At this time, Zheng Yunming was still playing backgammon with Liu Kezhuang calmly, which really made Li Tingzhi feel unreasonable. Looking at the way my husband slowly moved a black chess piece towards the bottom line, it seemed that his biggest opponent was no longer the Mongolian army but Mr. Liu in front of him. All the civil servants and ministers in the army had serious expressions on their faces, but at this time, who dared to stand up and accuse the famous ministers in the world face to face? Of course, only Li Tingzhi comes by himself. He is the youngest staff member among them. He has been following Zheng Yunming for many years. Although he has made many achievements, he is far inferior to those who have already made many achievements and have wives and children. He is the most useless. A person you care about. Since I have nothing to worry about, there is no hesitation in speaking. He walked out of the queue and asked the supervisor in a loud voice: "My husband is so happy with black and white, have you forgotten that there are still 400,000 ferocious Hu Qi in Jiangbei to be expelled?" Zheng Yunming raised his eyes and glanced at him, holding the gun in his hand. Heizi still moved forward one space. This arrogant attitude towards his subordinates that he had never had before aroused Li Tingzhi's anger. He took a step forward and raised his voice a notch: "In the morning, Ezhou sent beacon news that many parts of the city wall were lost and the Mongolian army had occupied it. We arrived at several places in the city of Ezhou, and Wei Dutong was injured, so our army had to retreat to the old city. At this moment when life was hanging by a thread, Xianggong sat in the tent and could do nothing. I must wait until Ezhou fell before he could use Xianggong's tactics. Is there a clever plan for Pingrong?" Zheng Yunming still looked at the chessboard and said without thinking: "It is not a national soldier to be led by the enemy before the battle." Li Tingzhi was even more angry, almost shouting: "Please. Now go out of the big tent and take a look! There is already a flag of the Hunan Army's Gale Force Camp in the south direction of Dongting. Do you still remember how you started to select each team leader one by one, and slowly added these flags? The Gale Camp was established. After the Gale Camp defeated Li Tan's several times superior army in the first battle, how did you say to them, "Nothing is more precious than human life, and there is no reason to force it." You have to sacrifice your life, but the meaning of the existence of a national warrior is to save the world with your own life! Fight against the strongest enemy in the world with your own courage! The descendants of Huxiang have always respected their family and country! For your own sake, go and show the world your style as a national scholar!"
