Chapter 322: Annihilation of the pursuers

At this time, Zhao Rui's team was getting closer and closer to the city gate, and the guards of Tangzhou City also realized that something was wrong early, and closed the other city gates, leaving only the one facing Zhao Rui, waiting for their own people to come in and close it immediately.

Now there were quite a few musketeers standing on the walls, and a dozen more mortars.

Zhao Rui took a look at it, but he regretted that he didn't leave more military forces in Tangzhou City, otherwise, if he took advantage of the situation to fight back, he would also destroy a lot of Yuan troops.

"Run! The Tartar cavalry is about to catch up! ”

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be close to their ears, and many people in the White Lotus Society were really panicked, and they ran with their strength, and they didn't know if they would be caught up by the cavalry, but they had to do their best.

Zhao Rui ran and looked back, feeling more and more that it was not very good.

Based on this speed comparison, it is very likely that you will be caught up if you don't enter the city.

"Zhao Gong, give me the gun, you run first, remember to give the order, let the guards snipe the enemy from a distance first!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Gong handed the musket to Zhao Rui, and then ran at a faster speed.

Originally, the people of the White Lotus Society were about to die of exhaustion at this time, and Zheng Taiping, who had been a housekeeper, was not even as good as the people of the White Lotus Society here, so he couldn't wait to lie on the ground and rest for a while.

But Zhao Gong ran out like a gust of wind, which still surprised everyone, it seems that the people under the prince have real skills, just looking at this physical strength is far more than the vast majority of people!

In fact, what they didn't know was that the twenty soldiers at the back were second only to Zhao Gong in physical fitness, and the reason why the queen was to protect them was to protect them, otherwise, they might have run into Tangzhou City at this time.

The twenty soldiers saw that Zhao Rui was going to turn around to defend against the enemy, and several of them were also asking what Zhao Rui meant, if they also wanted to stay and fire with muskets at the same time.

"No, you better run first, I'm just creating some obstacles for their tartars!"

Although it was an extremely critical juncture, Zhao Rui still looked relaxed, and the soldiers who watched it were also greatly admired.

Come on! Let you chase so fiercely!

Zhao Rui stopped, turned around and pulled the trigger, and the continuous sound of muskets suddenly rang out in the wilderness.

"Sudden ...... Sudden ......"

Zhao Rui saw it accurately and hit it accurately, but this time he was all shooting horses and didn't take people as targets.

The galloping war horses, under Zhao Rui's gun, basically fell to the ground one by one, and the cavalry above them was directly thrown out by the huge inertia, and there were really few who could live if they fell to the ground, even if they were still alive, they would be trampled to death by the war horses behind.

The human body is not enough to stop the war horse, and the dead war horse is the real obstacle!

Zhao Rui's purposeful shooting killed each of the war horses running in the front row in an instant, and the cavalry behind was too late to dodge, and they stumbled more war horses in a row.

At this time, Bagen couldn't help but touch a cold sweat, fortunately, he was not at the forefront just now, otherwise, he might be the one who died now.

However, the invincibility of the Yuan army's riding skills in the world is not boasting, although Zhao Rui caused a certain obstacle to their speed, but they immediately dispersed the team under the order of Bagen, and completely bypassed the horses in front of them.

Anyway, this is the plain, and you don't let yourself change the team?

At this time, Zhao Rui was already close at hand.

Although Bagen has not met Zhao Rui, looking at this person's age and bearing, there is no doubt that it is Zhao Rui.

Now Bagen is very eager for the feeling of blocking the waist knife into the flesh and blood, and he has even regarded Zhao Rui as a mortal person now, and no one can live in the charge of the cavalry.

Even Zhao Rui, who has become a legend, is the same, what kind of firearms are sharp and invincible?

I'm going to kill him myself, and let the court see the ability of my veteran Bagan again!"

"Rush!"

Zhao Rui didn't see that the effect was too good, but it could be regarded as slowing down the speed of the Yuan army, and now that they rushed up, Zhao Rui turned around and ran.

Run? Can you still run away?

"Drive!"

Bagen's war horse is better than that of ordinary soldiers, and now that he is charging forward again, he must slash Zhao Rui to feel that this trip is worthwhile!

But the speed of Zhao Rui's escape made Bagen's jaw drop.

Seeing that he fell far behind the team in front of him, but his speed was transcendent, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with the last row of the team in front of him!

Hum! The despicable Song people who can only escape, suffer death!

Seeing the deserters in front, the momentum of the Yuan army is even greater, and they are about to catch up!

At this time, Zhao Rui's team was still more than two hundred meters away from the city gate, while the Yuan army was already less than eight hundred meters. In addition, it will take time for everyone to enter the city, so it seems that it has reached a crisis point.

Fortunately, at this time, the gestures that Zhao Rui's troops had been training played a decisive role.

Zhao Rui raised his right fist high as he ran, and then fell suddenly.

Zhao Rui grasped this timing just right, at this time the cavalry was 600 meters away from the city gate, which was the distance that the musket could hit accurately!

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

Without the slightest hesitation, as Zhao Rui's gesture fell, more than 100 muskets on the city wall were fired together, most of them were bolt rifles, much slower than the automatic ones, but they were still very effective.

In an instant, the cavalry of the Yuan army did not know how many people had been broken.

At this time, Zhao Rui finally didn't need to run anymore, and ordered Zhao Gong to go to the city wall to unify the command, while he and the twenty soldiers stayed, shooting while retreating!

The speed of the Yuan cavalry's impact was so fast, but even under the blow of the musket, the speed of the advance became extremely slow.

"Rush! Give me all the rush! ”

Watching the cavalry fall one by one, Bagen really appreciated the power of the musket, but now the five thousand people on Zhao Rui's side are crowded at the city gate, if the cavalry can rush, it will be a slaughter on the one hand.

Greed triumphed over fear, and when Bagan gave the order to continue the charge, it meant that he could never go back.

At this time, the 50,000 people he brought with him were almost 10,000 or so lost, and now it seems that the gunfire has slowed down, which is a good opportunity to impact!

The order to charge was issued again, and Zhao Rui's side became in crisis again.

At this time, Zhao Gong had already gone up to the city wall, and the soldiers all recognized him and listened to his command.

But now to Zhao Gong's helplessness, there are too many soldiers who have reloaded, which greatly affects the rate of fire.

And this is determined by the musket itself, it is not controllable by manpower at all, it can only be loaded with five rounds of ammunition at a time, no matter how urgent it is, how fast can it be.

Not good, Zhao Gong obviously felt that the speed of the Yuan army's cavalry had accelerated again!

In desperation, he ordered all mortars to be prepared.

It was not that the artillery had not thought about attacking before, but the time left by Zhao Rui just now made them afraid of accidental injury, so they did not fire the artillery for a long time.

"Ready, 300 meters, three shots!"

In a hurry, there was no pre-shooting, and Zhao Gong directly gave an order.

At this time, the cavalry was 300 meters away, Zhao Gong still set aside some advance, and the city gate was still crowded with people from the White Lotus Society, Zhao Rui and twenty warriors, now 100 meters away from the city gate, were still blocking the cavalry with full firepower.

They deserve to be the best soldiers, and they are replaced one by one extremely quickly, and it is precisely because of their merits that the cavalry of the Yuan army will not approach too quickly.

If you completely point to the bolt rifle on the top of the city wall, it is estimated that it is very likely that the cavalry has rushed into the crowd below the city now.

Soon, the artillerymen adjusted the engraving and angle, and without Zhao Gong's second order, they directly carried out mortar fire.

These artillery gates stationed in Tangzhou City are not idle in normal times, they have to carry out adjustment training under various terrains, and the training on the city wall is a necessary aspect of training.

"Wow......"

Dozens of shells were fired, and Zhao Gong suddenly realized that there were only a dozen mortars here, and then let them fire five times.

Well played!

Zhao Rui also looked at it clearly below, the cannonball just hit the front row of the Yuan army in a covering way, and the power of this time was not comparable to that of the musket, and countless cavalry were killed in an instant.

And when the first shell fell, Bagen was a little frightened, and slowed down the speed of the war horse, and the cavalry behind was still pressing on the front.

On the one hand, the cavalry in front suffered from the baptism of muskets, and occasionally escaped, but they could not escape the bombardment of shells!

It was the first time that Bagan had seen this kind of cannonball that could explode and bloom, and each time the cavalry was blown up, and the stumps and broken arms were flying all over the sky, which was simply terrifying.

Could it be that he Zhao Rui is really invincible?

Bagan's heart finally began to waver.

More and more cavalry died, but they could no longer advance a single inch from the city gates.

At this time, Bagen suddenly woke up, and if he continued to fight, it was estimated that the whole army would be wiped out!

Bagan is also a veteran, and when he is broken, he immediately orders his subordinates to beat the drum and retreat!

At this time, the cavalry of the Yuan army turned their horses' heads and prepared to escape, they didn't want to die here, and the horse whips in their hands were also more forceful.

It's going to run!

Zhao Gong saw it clearly above, and immediately adjusted the distance of the mortar again.

At this time, the Yuan army desperately fled backwards, but they never expected that their war horses, which were commensurate with partners, would have problems at this moment.

It was originally a long journey, the horsepower was overdrawn, and the continuous artillery fire frightened, most of the war horses fell to the ground one after another, and some knelt directly on the ground, anyway, they couldn't run anymore!

And Bagan's horses are like this, kneeling on all fours, just not running.

Bagan almost died in a hurry, and frantically whipped the horse's ass with the leather whip in his hand, and as a result, his war horse fell to the ground, and he even lay down!

Finished......

There may be no escape......

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

The distance of the mortar was adjusted just right, and it hit the range where the cavalry of the Yuan army was stagnant, and for a time it was simply full of corpses, and the sun and moon were gone.

And with the continuous filling of the muskets on Zhao Rui's side and the city wall, the 50,000 troops of the Yuan Dynasty fell here, and no one escaped!
