Chapter 394: Xuzhou is lost

Even though the Red Turban Army at the head of the city watched and listened to all directions, not only guarded the Yuan soldiers who climbed the ladder, but also avoided the arrows fired from the well carts, and avoided the terrifying flints, they could not dodge the twelve artillery pieces erected outside the city by manpower.

Iron artillery is an iron-hulled explosive firearm equipped by the Chinese army during the Song and Yuan dynasties, commonly known as the earth-shaking thunder.

The earth-shattering thunder used to attack and defend the city defense is a large iron cannon, once this kind of artillery is ignited and fired, its sound is as loud as a thunderbolt, its strength is stronger than the bell, and the cannonball gunpowder will burst into countless iron sheet fragments after hitting, and the bombardment force produced is extremely shocking, and it is really like a thunderbolt.

These twelve cannons kept firing, and as long as each shell hit the city accurately, the defenders in this area would have to suffer casualties of varying degrees. Those farther away may be scratched by the iron and rubble that burst out of the explosion, and they will be covered in blood.

In addition to the sacrifice of life and death on the head of the city, the attack and defense at the city gate are even more miserable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Red Turban Army piled up the second city gate with flesh and blood.

The attack of the Yuan soldiers on the wooden city gate mainly used the power of the rushing car, and the impact force produced by the rush carried out by more than a dozen people was extraordinary, and every collision with the wooden city gate would rumble, causing the defenders behind the city gate to palpitate.

Seeing that the wooden city gate could not withstand such an impact, Sesame Li simply ordered his subordinates to take the initiative to open the city gate from time to time, and then sent brave and skilled soldiers out to fight hand-to-hand to kill the enemy.

Although this move can delay the time when the city gate is breached, and destroy the local rushing car after the victory, the casualties can be multiplied, but the siege equipment brought by the Yuan soldiers is innumerable, and one rushing car was destroyed by the red turban ammunition, and it didn't take long for another car to be pushed.

At the critical moment of the battle, Tokh refused to give up, he drew his sword and ordered his generals to attack the other three walls at the same time, making full use of the advantages of his siege equipment and troops to pursue the victory.

I have to say that Toto's order is very correct, if it is a single attack on the northern city, there is Wen Xuan and others who can barely deal with it, but if it is attacked from all sides, not to mention that the troops defending the city are not enough, even the commanding generals who can take charge alone are not enough at all.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, although the north was still struggling to support, the west was in an emergency, and then the east gate was broken, and the Yuan soldiers actually killed it!

Sesame Li found Wen Xuan as soon as possible: "Master Wen, Xuzhou can't hold it, you guys take the holy daughter to go first, and I'll take the brothers to drag these thieves." ”

Wen Xuan also knew that the situation was critical, and after saying that Li Qianhu took care, he rushed to Han Lingyue and Mu Chong.

Han Lingyue couldn't care about the appearance of the saint, and personally held the sword to kill the enemy, and from time to time he threw out a few hidden weapons to kill and injure the Yuan soldiers.

Yuan Bing saw that this person with a thin veil might be a demon girl of Mingjiao, so they all killed Han Lingyue together, fortunately, with Mu Chong's protection, Mu Chong's gun was wielded as a killing weapon for group battles, Mu Chong was really a killing god, and within a moment, the iron spear had already taken the lives of more than 20 Yuan soldiers.

But the city gate has been broken, more and more soldiers have been killed, Han Lingyue and Mu Chong are already struggling to support, Mu Chong is hesitating whether to take Han Lingyue out of the battlefield, Wen Xuan has already rushed over.

"Brother Mu, Yue'er, come with me!"

Mu Chong saw that Wen Xuan had a bottom in his heart, and immediately swung his spear violently a few times to block the Yuan soldiers in front of him to open the way for Han Lingyue: "Miss Han, go quickly!" ”

Han Lingyue nodded, and immediately followed behind Wen Xuan quickly.

Wen Xuan and Mu Chong protected Han Lingyue one after the other, rushed out of the encirclement, and went straight to the secret stronghold of the Ming Sect.

After getting rid of the pursuit of the Yuan soldiers, Han Lingyue frowned and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

"It's too late to explain, I'll talk about it when I get to the place."

As soon as Wen Xuan's words fell, Han Lingyue suddenly stopped: "I can't go with you, if the Holy Maiden of the Ming Sect escapes from the battle, wouldn't it be ...... to spread the word?"

"Miss Han, offended!" Mu Xuan raised his hand and slapped Han Lingyue unconscious, sending her to Wen Xuan's arms.

Wen Xuan was speechless for a while, and he clearly instructed Mu Chong to make a move when he couldn't convince Han Lingyue, but he couldn't help but knock out his sweetheart, but the situation was critical, so he had to pick up Han Lingyue and run towards the house.

As soon as the three of them ran to the gate of the courtyard, Sesame Lee's mute Yoshiko opened the door, apparently waiting for their arrival.

Sesame Lee's righteous son leaned out and looked at it, and when he saw that there was no Yuan Bing following behind, he immediately bolted the door, and then entered the house to turn on the mechanism.

The mechanism was opened, Mu Chong jumped down to explore the way, Wen Xuan was about to put Han Lingyue down, but was pulled by the righteous son in the sesame seeds, and gestured at him for a long time, Wen Xuan only realized, it turned out that he wanted to take off the tulle tied to Han Lingyue's face and give it to him.

Wen Xuan didn't understand what he was going to do for a while, so he did so because of the urgency of the situation, unveiled Han Lingyue and gave him the veil, and then jumped down the secret passage.

When they all went down, Yizi in the sesame seeds handed over another package, which seemed to be some trays and food, and after Wen Xuan thanked him, the mechanism was closed.

The three of them walked all the way along the secret passage, not to mention it for the time being, and said that after the mute Yoshiko closed the mechanism, he shouted a few times into the other room, and soon a girl in the prime of cardamom came out.

The mute Yoshiko passed the veil in her hand, and the girl quickly tied it to her face, and then asked, "Brother, do you think I look like that holy sister?" Will the Yuan Bing recognize me as a fake when he comes? ”

From the words, it can be heard that this girl is Sesame Li's biological daughter, and the dress he is wearing at the moment is a black robe, coupled with this veil, he looks no different from Han Lingyue from the outside!

If Wen Xuan was present at the moment, he would definitely suddenly realize what it meant for the father and daughter in Sesame Li's mouth to repay their kindness together.

Although he tried to take Han Lingyue away from Wen Xuan, he was worried that the news that the saint would flee without a fight would be criticized, so he thought of such a plan to let his beloved daughter pretend to be a saint, so that the saint of Mingjiao died in Xuzhou openly, and Han Shantong's sister was able to escape.

What is loyalty? This is loyalty.

After the loss of the east gate of Xuzhou, several other gates were also broken one by one, the Yuan soldiers howled excitedly and rushed into the city, the Red Turban Army had to block the Yuan soldiers in the alley under the command of Sesame Li, but the morale of the Yuan soldiers was high, and they were exhausted, so they could only retreat to the center of the city.
