This person's eyes were deep-set, black, his lips were also chapped, and the clothes on his body were stained with too much dust, Zhao Rui suddenly felt sad, this soldier was obviously a long journey, and he didn't even have time to eat, drink and rest.

His appearance was incompatible with the jubilant atmosphere of the banquet.

"Bring the water!" Zhao Rui raised his head and ordered, and then looked at the soldiers.

The soldier gasped, and only after his breath had stabilized did he say bitterly: "Lord Wang, the big thing is not good, the coal yard in Baole Prefecture was broken, not only did a lot of people die, but a large amount of coal was also snatched away!" ”

What the!

Now there are still people who dare to go against Zhao Rui!

The coal yard was the territory of Sariwei, and he was so shocked that he broke the wine glass, and immediately ran to this person regardless of it, and hurriedly asked: "Who, who did it, Tartar?" ”

"Well, it's a Tartar!"

This soldier seemed to have some feelings about to shed tears, probably because his body was too dehydrated, so he did not have half a tear dropping.

"Now there are 1,000 wounded musketeers, and 2,000 people have retreated to Taiyuan Prefecture for defense! But the return cannon of the Tartars is too powerful, and I'm afraid Taiyuan Prefecture won't be able to hold it for long! ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, they couldn't imagine that the situation was so critical now, and the Yuan army said that they would fight, and there was no sign at all, which was really unguardable!

Zhao Rui is already very important in his heart now, and there is not much time left before the second city of Xiangfan is broken in history, is it possible that the Yuan army has already grasped it and finally has the energy to deal with himself?

"How many of them are there?" Zhao Rui hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, at least more than 50,000 people! In particular, there were a lot of return artillery, when we resisted, many people were crushed to death by the return artillery, and later the wall of Baole Prefecture also collapsed, and we had to retreat to Taiyuan Prefecture as a last resort! Lord Wang, go and save people, I'm afraid they will be attacked in the same way in Taiyuan Prefecture! ”

Sheliwei and Xiong Da happen to be one in Baole Prefecture and the other is stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture, and now with a sharp weapon like a mortar, how can they allow the Tartars to make waves, and immediately patted their chests and wanted to go back immediately to recover the city, and drive those Tartars to extermination!

Zhao Rui felt that it was not so simple, and was still groaning, but then he thought of what was terrible, anyway, with mortars, as many Yuan troops as he wanted, he would be killed as many as he wanted!

"Good!"

Zhao Rui smashed his wine glass hatefully, everyone, with mortars and I went north, this time we not only have to defeat the attacking Yuan army, but also let the people of Dali understand how unwise it is to accommodate the Yuan army to go against us!

Everyone else shouted and corresponded, only Sariwei's eyes were a little moist, great, finally looking forward to this day, the prince is finally going to deal with Dali, so that the people who have suffered so much in Dali can finally be liberated!

In order to prevent this from happening, Zhao Rui ordered Su Tuo to garrison Dabaocheng, and then took a hundred mortars and 10,000 artillery musketeers from Dabaocheng to the north together.

At first, Su Tuo still had some regrets, feeling that he could not participate in the campaign together, and he had been stationed in Wanya Prefecture before, so he did not have many opportunities for actual combat.

But Zhao Rui told Su Tuo with a solemn face that his position was very important, and the Yuan army might be about to invade on a large scale at present, and Dabaocheng was the main barrier, and now he was left with fifty mortars, just in case.

Moreover, at present, the city wall of Dabaocheng is still in the process of infinite reinforcement, and the cement used is also made of calcined slag from Wanya Prefecture.

Before leaving, Zhao Rui also specially instructed Su Tuodao: "If there is a military situation, don't delay, and order someone to go to Taiyuan Prefecture to deliver the letter as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zhao Rui attached so much importance to Dabaocheng, Su Tuo felt that he was under heavy responsibility, so his mood was much better.

The army of 10,000 people rushed north, which was also the largest number of generals led by Zhao Rui, except for Arjuna and Su Tuo, all the generals were in the team.

Zhao Rui also has the intention of letting them hone their skills, except for Zhao Gong, give 100 mortars to the other four people and no one will divide 25 mortars, and let them fight together when the time comes, and beat the Tartars to the ground.

However, when everyone went all the way north to Guangyuan Prefecture, they unexpectedly discovered the remnants of the army.

They saw Zhao Rui crying one after another.

After everyone listened, they knew that Taiyuan Prefecture had also fallen, and the Yuan army was currently heading towards Guangyuan Prefecture, and these people were the only ones who survived.

Of the 3,000 musket archers there were only five left, what a cruel thing.

Zhao Rui noticed that each of them carried a gun on their backs, but there was no ammunition, and they were now only using bows and arrows.

Bastard!

Zhao Rui thought hatefully, in order to strengthen the defense, there were 1,500 rifles among the 3,000 people! It's all gone now?

"Do you have any ammunition for your muskets?" Zhao Rui must ask this question clearly, otherwise it will cause unexpected losses.

"I didn't ...... Without! ”

One of the disgraced soldiers said: "Their Yuan army originally wanted to use muskets, but on the one hand, they couldn't operate them, and they didn't have ammunition, so they all smashed them with sledgehammers and burned them all!" ”

……

Zhao Rui had a cold face, it was 1,500 guns, I didn't know how hard it took me to transport them to the Southern Song Dynasty, but now they are all destroyed!

It's not that Zhao Rui doesn't feel sorry for the soldiers, it's just that the automatic rifle is the current scarce resource, and if it's gone, it's gone, and Zhao Rui is now ordering Wei Lu to develop a bolt rifle Although it is making good progress, between manual and automatic, it may take a few years to leap over!

Zhao Rui's murderous heart rose, and then he felt that the hot pain in his blood began again, obviously it was the sequelae of absorbing the snake essence last time, Zhao Rui did not dare to be strong, and quickly calmed down his mood, and then drew a meditation talisman to calm down the churning blood.

"Check the map and prepare for an ambush!"

After Zhao Rui gave the order, he sat on the side and let Zhao Gong and the other generals study it, Zhao Rui didn't need to do it himself at the moment, he just needed to kill the Yuan army troops in the end, and vent well!

Zhao Gong also has a lot of experience in fighting with Zhao Rui, coupled with Sheliwei and Xiong Da's understanding of the terrain, they quickly formulated a battle plan!

After Zhao Rui stopped, he generally felt that there was no problem, so the whole army mobilized and began preparations together.

"I saw the Yuan army!"

Not long after they were ready, a scout came back to report that they had seen the ranks of the Yuan army, as well as countless return cannons, and the size of their troops should be in 80,000 from a distance.

80,000 ......

Zhao Rui felt that it might be the Yuan army that had made some progress in the second city of Xiangfan, so he immediately called Xia Guixian over: "Guixian, you immediately prepare ***, go to the Southern Song Dynasty to inquire about the situation of the war, and report to me immediately if there is any change!" ”

Xia Guixian, a military general for many years, naturally thought of what might happen, knew the severity of the situation, and hurriedly set off.

Because the ammunition is now sufficient, Zhao Gong arranged the ambush on a high ground, and when the Yuan army arrived, he could attack continuously and completely destroy their living forces.

The Yuan army won easily after three battles, so naturally they didn't take Zhao Rui's troops seriously, maybe they were still a little afraid of his musket before, but now that the return cannon has been transformed, the performance has been greatly improved, whether it is the loading speed or accuracy, it can't be compared with the past, they even feel that the current return cannon is more powerful than the musket, otherwise how can Zhao Rui's troops be wiped out!

All the Yuan troops felt that there was a feeling of raising their eyebrows, before Zhao Rui suppressed their Yuan army with muskets, but now, not only captured two cities, but also damaged more than 1,000 muskets of Zhao Rui, if this continues, Zhao Rui will definitely be slowly eaten to death!

The Yuan army had already entered the ambush circle, and Zhao Gong immediately made a decision, waved his arm fiercely and shouted: "Shoot!" ”

While speaking, Zhao Gong pulled the trigger first.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

From the low place came the screams of the Yuan army, who knew that they had been ambushed by muskets, and ran back desperately.

They were careless, because the siege was active, and the ambush was passive, and they had not even returned to the artillery yet, and they had already been killed and wounded countless times.

"Hurry up, run over there!"

The leader of the Yuan army is not a vegetarian, he has studied Zhao Rui's musket tactics before he came, and the musket is a straight line attack, so just find a cover!

It happened that there was a dirt bag not far behind him, and the leader of the Yuan army hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat to the back of the dirt bag.

Finally, after paying tens of thousands of lives, all the Yuan troops ran behind the soil bag.

Bastard......

The leader of the Yuan army was still gasping for breath, originally he was just marching, but he didn't expect Zhao Rui's troops to be so insidious, and he would suffer heavy losses at once!

"Prepare for the return cannon!"

The leader of the Yuan army sneered, now the local musket army is in a high place, which is exactly the attack range of the return artillery! Hum! Let's give you a taste of the power of the Dayuan's new return cannon!

"Come on, aim for the target, salvo!"

"Whoosh ......"

The huge stones were constantly thrown out, and they flew into the sky above Zhao Rui's troops very accurately.

"Stay out of the way!"

Zhao Rui saw that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted.

Fortunately, it was a stone attack, as long as you dodged it, it would be fine, although Zhao Rui's side was a little embarrassed, so that it would not kill people, but there were still four or five soldiers who were injured by the flying stones.

"Lord Wang, let's go prepare mortars!"

The generals were beaten and went to Zhao Rui to ask for help.

"Well, go ahead, give me a hard beating!" Zhao Rui waved his hand and sent them away, and he lay on the top of the mountain to pay attention to the enemy's situation.

"Hahaha...... Don't stop, hit me hard! This group of Zhao Rui's troops really treated themselves as dishes, and let them taste the taste of being attacked today! ”

The Yuan troops were looking for stones, and if it weren't for the lack of supplies, they would have attacked twice as often.

"Squeak ......"

The sound of the winch was everywhere, and stones kept flying into the sky, and the smile of the generals of the Yuan army became stronger.

With such a sharp weapon, it is not easy to defeat Zhao Rui's army, but it is only because this kind of return cannon was studied too late, and Zhao Rui took a lot of advantage before.

The legend of Zhao Rui's invincibility should also have an end in the territory of Dayuan!
