The three brothers of the Xiong family were worried, saying that the Yuan army was too deceitful, they were really about to die on Fancheng's side, and it was clear that the remaining number of shells could still effectively attack the Yuan army, but they couldn't see anyone.

Zhao Rui had an idea at this time, thinking that the Yuan army attacking Xiangyang on the other side must have gathered in one place. The single wall of Xiangyang is about 500 meters, which means that the Yuan army in the south is also within the range of mortars!

Thinking of this, Zhao Rui felt that it was not too late, and hurriedly ordered the Xiong brothers to pull out all the mortar troops, find an open space on the river, and wait for his orders, and at the same time instructed them to use the musket team to protect the safety of the mortar team.

After Zhao Rui gave the order, he ran towards the city, and the three brothers of the Xiong family knew that Zhao Rui had thought of a good idea, so they hurried down to the city to make arrangements.

Zhao Rui ran towards the city, just trying to find a secluded place where no one could see it.

Around a burned house, Zhao Rui looked left and right at no one, directly drew a strong charm and a dancing sky charm, kicked the ground with his legs, and the person jumped directly to the height of the clouds and flew towards the south of Xiangyang City.

That's right, Zhao Rui just wants to find the exact location of the Yuan army!

The southern wall of Xiangyang City is also a busy scene now, for the defense of the city, the officers and soldiers have long been familiar with the road, the city wall of Xiangyang is the strongest in the world, but it is still a little stretched in front of the new return cannon of the Yuan army.

But Lu Wenhuan, who commanded everyone's defense, felt a little bit stable, if nothing else, it was because Zhao Rui brought food to the city, and with the replenishment of food, even if the threat of the return cannon was great, the guards in the city would not give in easily, after all, after so many years, no one has been in vain.

Zhao Rui was in the clouds, and if he didn't carefully raise his head to look at the sky, no one would be able to see it.

Looking at the Yuan army below, Zhao Rui couldn't help but be surprised, the Yuan army he saw in this battle of Xiangyang may be the most Zhao Rui has ever seen.

The Yuan army in the south of Xiangyang City has reached the level of covering the mountains, probably more than 200 meters away from the city wall, and launched a powerful attack on the city wall together.

It can be said that the Yuan army now relies on the new type of return artillery as the main weapon, and if it were not for the solid strength of Xiangyang City, it might have been crushed by the return artillery long ago.

But now Xiangyang City is obviously very sad, because the return cannon is indeed very accurate, almost every cannon will hit the city wall, and occasionally a few will fall, and it can also hit the guards.

This may be an attack that the Yuan army has been planning for a long time, whether it is manpower and material resources, it is the most, hitting all the forces to attack one side, it is indeed a little difficult for Xiangyang to deal with, under Zhao Rui's sight, the guards on the city wall keep panicking.

Okay, it's easy to know the location.

Zhao Rui immediately flew back, thinking that the Yuan army could be roughly divided into three parts.

One part is the return artillery on the flat official road in the middle, and after the return artillery, there are still troops waiting for the breakthrough after the city is broken, and the other two parts are about less than 100 meters on the top of the mountain on both sides, these troops are sharpshooters, and their location is to target the officers and soldiers defending the city.

The Yuan army was very resourceful, so that the forces defending the city would be suppressed by their archers, thus making it easier for them to form a breakthrough situation.

But now it's different, and Zhao Rui has figured out the direction, so they won't be so happy!

Zhao Rui still flew to Fancheng, found a hidden place to land, and then found a war horse and rode it all the way to the river.

The mortar team on the riverside has been lined up, and there are musketeers stationed in it, Zhao Rui's order is not unreasonable, just now there was a relatively large warship that wanted to fire at the mortar troops, but fortunately, the musketeers killed all the Yuan troops on the ship.

Now the Yuan Dynasty has accepted the naval army of the Song Dynasty, and it can be regarded as having the power of firearms, but they are equipped with very primitive artillery on the ship, and the estimated range is not as far as that of the rifle.

It can be that for the Yuan army in the north of Xiangyang City, it is not so simple, they are even a little incredible, Zhao Rui is not going to fight them, they are so close to the city wall, is Zhao Rui not afraid of hitting the city wall and blowing up the city wall again?

At that time, there were Tartar soldiers who reported their generals, but this Yuan army general smiled when he saw it from afar, saying that Zhao Rui was pretending, how could he really shoot, after all, behind the Yuan army was Xiangyang City, and the power of the artillery was too great, and it would definitely pose a threat to the city wall, how could Zhao Rui not know?

"Hurry back and defend your position, don't scare people to death, I tell you, Zhao Rui will definitely not fire artillery!"

The general of the Yuan army had just finished talking about his subordinates, but the opposite side was launched with a "...... bang"!

What a slap yourself in the face!

This general can't care about anything else, it's true to hurry up and find a place to hide, just now his subordinates reported that they are all gathered in this place, and the current shells will not be aimed at themselves!

The Yuan soldiers scattered in all directions, and soon they noticed that the cannonball had swept over their heads and was already flying in the direction of the city.

"Haha, it's not that they missed! The Song people in the city are all unlucky! ”

Some of the Yuan soldiers were still laughing, but soon they couldn't laugh out loud, because the sound of the ensuing explosion came from a long distance.

This is......

The Yuan army in the north of Xiangyang City is about to go crazy, isn't this an inaccurate fight, this is the south of the city?

Although they knew that Zhao Rui's artillery could be fired at an elevation angle, it was still too shocking for them to cross a huge city!

Zhao Rui grouped the mortars on his side, and a small number of mortars on both sides attacked the top of the mountain with archers, while most of the mortars in the middle were commanded by Xiong Er, mainly attacking the position of the return artillery.

There is no need to test fire, all the mortar angles are adjusted by Xiong Er according to the distance and position that Zhao Rui said, and hundreds of **** rounds were shot out in an instant, anyway, I couldn't see the results, so I simply came with three consecutive shots.

After the three shells were fired, Zhao Rui's side quieted down, listening carefully to their results.

Sure enough, after the three rounds of shells were fired, there was no longer the sound of boulders hitting the city wall, and the attack must have hit the point and worked!

Because of the limited number of shells, Zhao Rui asked the mortar unit to pack up and return to the city, and he also flew into the sky again when he arrived in the city, sweeping towards the south.

For the defenders and Yuan troops in the south of Xiangyang City, it was undoubtedly the most shocking!

Previously, Lu Wenhuan was still commanding with sweat in his head, and then he heard a whistling sound, this kind of devastating sound Lu Wenhuan had heard, isn't this the artillery used by Zhao Rui during the Battle of Fancheng that day!

The dense black spots in the sky almost swept over the city wall, and they carried out precise strikes against the Yuan soldiers and return artillery.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The explosive power of three consecutive rounds of fire, totaling more than 700 shells, should not be underestimated.

For a time, not only did the return artillery destroy more than half, but even the troops were reduced a lot.

The sudden artillery attack almost knocked out the Yuan army, Zhao Rui was far away in Fancheng, they couldn't see this side, how could they fight so accurately, did it depend on guessing?

The enemy's losses simply made Lu Wenhuan's blood boil, Zhao Rui's artillery was like heavenly help, and the siege force of the Yuan army collapsed in an instant, and it is estimated that the hundreds of return cannons were enough for them to feel distressed for a while!

Refreshing! It's so cool, so relieving!

The Song officers and soldiers on the city wall jumped and shouted, as if venting their grievances for days.

Zhao Rui smiled in the clouds, seeing that he had fought well, he could be regarded as blocking this siege battle, so Zhao Rui returned to Fancheng without any concern.

This time, it was the Yuan army that killed nearly 10,000 people, which made Zhao Rui feel very gratified, especially the destruction of the Huihui artillery, so that their threat to Xiangyang was no longer so great.

After a period of time, whenever the Yuan army organized a large-scale attack, it would be hit by a strong artillery blow, although the number of shells was not as many as on the first day, but the positions of the hit were the most people, and the Yuan army really had no temper, and they didn't even know how Zhao Rui did it.

Whether it is the south or the east and west, Zhao Rui will always find the right position to strike at the first time, and there is no deviation at all!

It can be said that Zhao Rui's tactics were still very successful, on the one hand, let the few remaining shells play the greatest role, and on the other hand, it was to make the Yuan army no longer able to fight an effective siege war.

It can be said that because of Zhao Rui's appearance, the Yuan army, which originally hoped to take Xiangyang, hesitated again.

The whole army of the Yuan army hated and feared Zhao Rui, and the hatred and fear reached the extreme, especially the generals in the Yuan army, who couldn't wait to kill Zhao Rui with their own hands.

A large number of military newspapers were sent out to Dadu, because the Yuan army attached great importance to military newspapers, and the speed of transmission was so fast that they even arrived in the hands of Borkin before the envoys of the Song Dynasty.

How could Zhao Rui participate in the Battle of Xiangyang?

He is a prince in a small frontier, even if he has the advantage of muskets, why does he argue with the strong Yuan Dynasty?

For these, Yuan Emperor Borkin didn't know, and he didn't want to understand, Zhao Rui alone destroyed hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops, which was enough for Borkin to hate him to the core.

In a short time, the news of the additional troops and the return of artillery was conveyed.

However, it may take some time, because many troops of the Yuan Dynasty are still marching west in public, trampling on the homes of those blonde and blue-eyed Hu people, as long as they wait for the day when the army gathers, it will be Zhao Rui's death!

Coincidentally, not long after Borkin gave the order, the envoys of the Song Dynasty traveled thousands of miles to Yanjing, the capital.

Without much thought, the envoy behaved as a courtier to Borkin, and at the same time carefully put forward the request for peace.

"Let me negotiate and withdraw the troops?"

Borkin was overjoyed and angry, and said with half-squinted eyes.

"Yes!" The envoy who couldn't figure out Emperor Yuan's thoughts spoke more cautiously.
