"Die!"

Chen Xun looked like a mad dog running rampant, and slashed at the person opposite with half of the long knife left in his hand, and the broken blade was like a flash of lightning, slashing at the wooden shield wrapped in a layer of iron, splitting the solid pine shield with a long crack.

The Han soldier behind the shield, although he was not directly hit by the blade, the huge force still made him fall on his back to the sky, and he rolled on the ground in embarrassment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a few Han soldiers around took a look at the gap and stabbed a few spears into a sieve, stabbing Chen Xun, who was already covered in blood and had countless wounds all over his body.

The rough blade stabbed in and out, poked countless pairs of holes in the flesh, and with his last breath, Chen Xun was desperate in an instant, roared twice in his mouth, and knelt on the ground with a "poof" At the same time, he supported the broken knife with both hands, and although his head hung down, his body did not fall.

The blood spread quickly under the corpse, like a gorgeous red flower blooming on the ground in spring.

"He is worthy of being the first fierce general under Fan Yongji, he will not retreat in a fight to the death, and he would rather die than surrender, a good man!" Shi Tianze strode up from the side, holding a ring-headed knife in his hand, and there were several chips on the blade, which were the traces left by him when he fought with Chen Xun just now.

He grabbed Chen Xun's hair, revealing a pair of angry eyes that were not closed, and couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "Brother, you are with the wrong person, what's the use of being so loyal?" It's not a ghost under the knife, in the next life, wipe your eyes and follow the powerful master like me, so as not to end up like this. ”

As he spoke, he swung his knife and decapitated it, and the ring-headed knife really became the ring-headed knife.

After cutting Chen Xun's head, Shi Tianze strode out of Shangjin Prefecture, the location of the last street battle in Shangjin City.

All the way was the devastation left by hand-to-hand fighting, and the corpses were all over the ground.

The head was carried in his hand, dripping with blood all the way.

Outside the state office, the city has become a battlefield filled with war, Shangjin City is like Shura hell in three streets, six lanes and ten miles in circumference, and the front of the tall and towering Lu bus at the head of the city is still bubbling with lingering, which is watered cowhide ordinary rockets can not ignite. From the city wall to the alleys, every street, every wall, and even every house left a stain of blood, and the signs of battle with knives and axes were everywhere, and the corpses that almost covered the bluestone slabs on the ground all told the survivors what a tragic life-and-death struggle took place here.

"Phew!"

Shi Tianze spat on the ground angrily.

"The small broken city actually broke my thousands of sons!" He lifted Chen Xun's head and met the dead man's somewhat pale eyes: "Damn, why are you working so hard?" ”

A few cowering captives passed in front of him, and when Shi Tianze saw it, there was another nameless fire.

He kicked one of the people dressed in ordinary people's sackcloth, and scolded: "You Song people, for no reason, led Fan Yongji to rebel, caused so many incidents, and wasted Lao Tzu's good fortune in vain, which is really hateful!" Now that the city is broken, I don't dare to die in the city, I want to run away with makeup, bah! Lao Tzu hates you people the most! ”

Huang Pingxun was kicked on the head, he didn't even dare to hum, he quickly got up, returned to the prisoner team, and walked away in fear with his head down.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I had to keep your dog's life and ask the Mongols for a reward, Lao Tzu would have killed you now!" Shi Tianze was frightened for a while, looking at the captured Song people as honest as a flock of plucked quails, he let out a sigh of relief, hummed in his nostrils, and stepped onto the mount not far away.

Riding on a horse, his vision was farther, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the Lu bus at the head of the city.

"Where did Kublai Khan get his craftsmen?" Shi Tianze's doubts that had long arisen in his heart resurfaced, and he couldn't help but be curious and jealous: "This kind of skilled craftsman has long been extinct in the Central Plains, where did he recruit him?" ”

"It seems that after the death of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no more people who can make Lu buses, the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, three thousand miles of white land, the Central Plains are chaotic, and now there are no such people even in the Han court, where did the Mongols find it?"

After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't answer, so he didn't think about it anymore, but sighed: "The Mongols are unparalleled in cavalry and shooting, but the siege is a short board, not that the Mongols are not brave in battle, but it is really congenital enough to climb the ladder to attack the city, so that they will not be invincible in the world." ”

"Now that we have such siege weapons, I really don't know what else in the whole world can stop the Mongols from fighting for hegemony."

Galloping in the city where the war has not yet dissipated, looking at the dead people in the city, Shi Tianze secretly rejoiced, fortunately, his family saw the opportunity early, and his father surrendered to Genghis Khan.

The horse's hooves ran towards the north gate, and in the distance there, on the high dirt slope, Kublai Khan still did not move, waiting for Shi Tianze, who had entered the city, to come out and report the victory.

Standing here and looking at Shangjin, leaning on the city wall, the Lu bus that is taller than the wall looks more eye-catching, and around the huge body, there are many shield cars, crashes, and two-section ladders, which set off the broken city wall as if they were all shorter.

Similar to Shi Tianze, the other Han households who were guarding Kublai Khan's side also had the same doubts in their hearts.

Where did these huge and staggering siege equipment come from? And who built it.

Looking at Kublai Khan, who was as stable as Mount Tai, he didn't believe that the Mongols, who could only herd sheep and cut people, would make such an elaborate and atmospheric wooden machine.

As if seeing through the doubts in their hearts, Kublai Khan grinned, and said to them with a detached posture and a show-off tone: "Everyone, can you make a batch of these siege equipment for me?" ”

The crowd shook their heads and replied, "No, no, Your Highness, we don't have a craftsman who can make them." ”

"The pattern of the Lu bus has been lost since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the old craftsmen are probably almost dead in the wars and disputes, where can I find it?"

"Not only the Lu Gongcha, but even the siege ladders, there are a lot of things missing, I think these ladders of His Royal Highness are much more elaborate than those built by our own craftsmen, and many of them have never been seen."

"Yes, Your Highness, the craftsman who made these must be the national hand of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, right?"

Listening to them, Kublai Khan's smile became more and more intense, he turned his head and said in a loud voice: "Definitely! These utensils are not made by Mongolian craftsmen, but by your Han Chinese. ”

"Han Chinese?"

Everyone was amazed and thought it was strange.

"Hahaha, these Han people, originally from the Central Plains, the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the people were devastated, a large number of Han people avoided the Western Regions, and even fled to the extreme west, the Great Mongolia expedition to the west, conquered a lot of places, Meng Yaoshu and Dou Mo and other visionary professors, I deliberately looked for such craftsmen in the West, and the immortal heaven blessed me, and sure enough, I found a lot of talents, treated them well, and gave full play to their strengths, so that we have these utensils you see today."

He waved his horsewhip, played a whip in the air, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the craftsmen who can't be found in the Central Plains have been found by me in the West, is this considered the will of heaven for me to conquer the Song Kingdom?" ”

All the thousands of households looked at each other, bowed down together, and said in unison: "Your Highness is wise, we will obey everything!" ”

Kublai Khan stood proudly, his horses were like mountains, and his men were like dragons.

In the distance, in the beacon fire in the sky, a team of cavalry jumped on horseback, and the leader was Shi Tianze, the head hanging on the horse's neck, swaying and dragging, extremely cruel.

……

Xiangyang Mansion, Jinghu System Envoy Yamen.

It's a mess.

Fan Yongji sat in a signing room, opposite Li Zengbo, the deputy envoy of Jinghu Manufacturing.

One is furious, the other is helpless.
