Chapter 103: Entering Xiangyang City
Zhao Rui suddenly fell into a dilemma, but he thought about it a little, no matter what it did! I'm not a person of this era, so you can think whatever you like.
First of all, the invasion of the Yuan army is the main culprit that caused the destruction of life, since the Yuan Emperor calculated me, then I will cripple his soldiers besieging the city, so that he can make a good assessment in his heart, and see who he has offended!
"Strange......"
Zhang Zhennan was still muttering: "I can't figure it out!" It is estimated that Song Xiaobao should have gotten the news before you, why is there no movement at all? ”
"Maybe it's not as serious as you think, I went out just now and took a look at him, his face was as usual, and I couldn't see anything."
"My lord, you don't know, Wenchen is pedantic, I really know it very well, I don't dare, it's all yin ......"
Zhang Zhennan looked at the Xiangyang city wall in the distance, his eyes full of worry.
"Young master, the Yuan army camp is found ahead, how to fight!"
Zhao Gong rode to the front of the car, and looked behind at Song Xiaobao's car as he spoke.
Zhao Rui made up his mind, and asked Zhao Gong to equip Kunnu and follow him into battle to kill the enemy.
Zhao Rui's carriage was still moving forward, but Song Xiaobao's carriage had already stopped moving.
After a while, a subordinate of Song Xiaobao came and asked Zhao Rui how to deal with the battle.
"Oh, it's okay, you guys are watching from behind, twenty of us is enough."
"Huh?" This subordinate didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly ran back to resume his life.
"That's what he said?"
Song Xiaobao lifted the curtain and saw that Zhao Rui had climbed onto the roof of the car in front of him, and he was still carrying a huge cannon barrel on his shoulder.
Originally, Song Xiaobao felt that Zhao Rui was really incompetent, but when he saw him carrying the cannon barrel, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, could this Zhao Rui be crazy and use his body to amplify the cannon?
And the old department of the Musket Army saw Zhao Rui's current posture and applauded one after another, this time I can see Lord Zhao fighting again!
There were a few soldiers brought by Song Xiaobao next to him, and he asked puzzledly: "Could it be that you have seen Lord Zhao fire cannons before?" ”
"Haha! Not really! It's amazing! ”
"Yes, keep your eyes open and look at what a brave man we are!"
"Cover your ears then, don't scare you to pee, hahaha!"
Speaking of Zhao Rui, the soldiers of the old department of the Musket Army talked endlessly, with pride on their faces, and they were really stunned when they heard the new officers and soldiers.
How can the flesh fire a cannon, it must be nonsense!
All of them are in a high ground position, and they can see the trend of the entire battle situation, Song Xiaobao doesn't want to give his life to Zhao Rui, and when he can't resist it, he should find out as soon as possible and run away quickly.
The Yuan army has already discovered Zhao Rui's team, and has arranged for the cavalry to set up a formation and rush over, they used the most common encirclement tactics, that is, to run faster on both sides and form a semi-circular formation, so that the cavalry on both wings can also have the effect of encircling both sides.
"Zhao Gong, you are in charge of both sides, and the middle will be handed over to me!"
"Yes! Master! ”
Zhao Gong didn't speak, waving the gestures that Zhao Rui taught them, and soon ten kunnu on the left and right sides set up their guns.
"Ready...... Attack! ”
Zhao Gong waved his hand, and the M16s on both sides hit a life-threatening point shot.
"Tutu...... Suddenly...... Sudden ......"
The vast ground is very conducive to the charge of cavalry, but this is also the best target on Zhao Rui's side, adhering to the fine tradition of not wasting bullets, the Kunnu are accurate point shots.
After a few breaths, the cavalry on both wings had fallen a lot, and the originally arc-shaped team gradually became a straight line, and many of the two winged Tartars did not look good, and they gathered in the middle lane, and gradually converted into a diamond-shaped shape, like the tip of an arrow, which was about to impact the blockade of Zhao Rui's musket.
This formation is really useful, although a few fell on the edge, but the cavalry in the middle is still at a constant speed, and the distance is getting closer and closer!
"Oops! Zhao Rui hits! If you don't fight again, you're going to rush over! ”
Song Xiaobao in the back stood on a high place, looking anxiously.
At a distance of about 200 meters, the Tartar soldiers had already begun to bend their bows and arrows, Zhao Rui felt that it was almost enough, and squatted down and aimed at the middle of the cavalry with a bazooka.
"Whoosh!"
A fiery snake erupted from the back of the cannon barrel, startling everyone, and a smoke-emitting *** in front had already rushed towards the cavalry.
"Not good! It's a cannonball, be careful to dodge! ”
The Tartar general who took the lead was a veteran, and he had also experienced the artillery of the Song people before, but although it looked scary, he couldn't hurt a few people after dodging.
Sure enough, the Tartars were superb in riding, and they really dodged one after another, but did not hit the bodies of the people and horses.
But after all, this is the *** of the future, and it will explode......
"Boom!"
There was an earth-shattering sound, and the dirt was stained with blood and the severed limbs were blown into the sky.
The Yuan army is dusty here, and they don't know the casualties yet, but Zhao Rui really sees it here, at least hundreds of cavalry are buried under ***.
"Oh my God!"
"Human cannon!"
"Too ...... It's too powerful, Lord Zhao's body can't be beaten with iron? ”
"This cannon will make the Tartars suffer half of the casualties, oh my God!"
The soldiers under Song Xiaobao were so shocked that they couldn't do it, staring at this incredible power with wide eyes, Zhao Rui's back suddenly became an unsurpassable existence in their hearts.
It's so powerful!
That's a real deal!
Song Xiaobao was shocked, but he looked at Zhao Rui's back with great solemnity, it seemed that it was not so simple to get rid of him!
The explosion made the formation of the Tartar cavalry extremely chaotic, and most of the cavalry in the rear were bombed, and the Tartars who had rushed out in front had red eyes, thinking that they must let this group of Song people pay for their blood debts!
Zhao Rui saw that it was not suitable to use *** anymore, so he put the launch canister at his feet and carried the M249 again.
Drawing a strong talisman casually, Zhao Rui held the machine gun firmly and tightened the trigger.
"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"
M249 roared, spewing a dense burst of fire at high speed.
From Zhao Rui's point of view, the trajectory can be clearly seen, so Zhao Rui resisted the recoil with the force of the just hit, and pressed the muzzle hard to ensure that the bullet would not float up.
"Sudden ......"
After finishing one, Zhao Rui loaded another one and continued to strafe wildly.
The invincible cavalry of the Tartar world was dealt a fatal blow at this moment.
Countless people, war horses continue to die, this is simply the judgment of the Lord of Yama, too many surviving Yuan troops want to escape back to the position, but they are too deep, it is impossible.
This M249 was used in Zhao Rui's hands to give the feeling of M16, and the shooting was also extremely accurate, and the loading volume of 200 rounds was simply a nightmare for the Yuan army on the opposite side!
The Song army won a big victory!
Seeing that there was no longer a tartar in front of them to stand up, the musketeers burst into a tsunami-like cheer.
Zhao Rui waved his hand and ordered: "Hurry into the city!" ”
Everyone understood that this was only a temporary elimination of the Tartars encircled by a city wall, and after a long time, there would definitely be support next to them, so the large army hurriedly rushed to Xiangyang City.
The sound of the battle here was too loud, and before everyone could call the door, the officers and soldiers on the city wall above had already opened the city gate, and everyone entered.
Zhao Rui and twenty Kunnu stayed in the last defense, and killed nearly a hundred Tartar soldiers who rushed to support.
When the whole army entered the city, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
For the time being, there is no need to worry about life and safety, Xiangyang City takes care of it, and this time, a lot of food and salt are enough for Xiangyang to guard for a while.
The officials of Xiangyang City had already arrived at the south gate at this time, and they were shocked by the combat effectiveness of this musket army, and they were all excited.
The leader is Lu Wenhuan, the prefect of Xiangyang, who met Song Xiaobao and was laughing and talking about something.
Zhao Rui couldn't help but be in a trance, and he actually saw a famous general with a mixed reputation in history!
Some people say that he dares to be a big husband, and some people say that he is a real villain who sells his lord for glory.
But now this Southern Song Dynasty is no longer the previous Southern Song Dynasty, and even their names are one word different, what kind of person is he Lu Wenhuan!
But it is undeniable that Xiangyang has been holding on to his hands for four years, and such a long war of resistance, regardless of success or failure, is worthy of admiration.
"Lord Lu!" Zhao Rui stepped forward to say hello.
"Who is this?"
Lu Wenhuan saw a young man in front of him, his face was tight, and he couldn't help but ask Song Xiaobao.
"Oh, he's Zhao Rui, the middle doctor, and the deputy commander of the Musket Army." Song Xiaobao had a cold look on his face.
Lu Wenhuan didn't care, and looked at Zhao Rui with a look of surprise: "Lord Zhao is really young and promising, he is already in a high position at such an age, which is really the envy of us people!" ”
Lu Wenhuan's exclamation is really from the heart, the promotion of military generals in the Song Dynasty is extremely harsh, and there is really no precedent in history for being young and in a high position.
"Huh...... But he's not going to be a high-ranking official soon! ”
Song Xiaobao's sneer made Lu Wenhuan feel surprised, and he couldn't help but look at him strangely.
Zhao Rui has a flat face, after being on the road for so long, Song Xiaobao should also make some kind of moths.
Seeing Zhao Rui's usual expression, Song Xiaobao snorted coldly, took out a letter directly from his arms, unfolded it, and read it out in public.
"Taishi's secret order, the current Yuan Emperor wants to recruit Zhao Rui as a concubine, and he is suspected of secretly colluding with the Yuan Dynasty, so after entering the city, Zhao Rui will no longer serve as the commander of the musket army!"
Such an order made everyone stunned.
Zhao Rui fought bravely to kill the enemy, but was removed from office, is this considered a grinding mill and killing a donkey?
Not only the old subordinates of the Musketeer Army were upset, but even the new officers and soldiers felt that it was unfair, and the Musketeers, who were originally high morale, were caught off guard by this secret order.
And what Lu Wenhuan was even more surprised was Zhao Rui's identity, how could he get the favor of Emperor Yuan, a hairy boy? It's just unreasonable!
Muskets?
By the way, isn't his musket too powerful, which has already attracted the attention of Emperor Yuan?
This son is really not to be underestimated!
