Chapter 286: Xibei Cargo Marshal
Ge Ritu rode his horse to the city more than ten zhang and shouted to the city: "Li Xiang, let's change the gambling method, you go down to the city and come out, we will fight one-on-one, and one person from each side will be sent to the battle, and more than one will win less; In half an hour, if you can't win, you're defeated.

Li Xiang secretly complained in his heart: "This idea must have been given to him by those two damn Mongolian masters, this is terrible, I heard that Ge Ritu is strong in martial arts, how can I, a person who has never learned martial arts, be his opponent." ”
Li Xiang glanced at the city again, and thought to himself: "And this Ge Ritu is still riding a horse, and the speed of walking back and forth is extremely fast, even if there is a gun, it cannot be used at this time." No, I can't take the risk, I've got to find a way to get him to change his mind. ”
Zhao Er, who was aiming with the tiger squat cannon, became anxious when he heard Ge Ritu's words, and shouted: "My lord, agree slowly." ”
Zhao Er hurriedly walked to Li Xiang's side and whispered: "This battle is carried out by the villain, look at the appearance of this Ge Ritu, no matter the horse battle and foot battle, it is not my Zhao Er's opponent, I am sure that I will stab him under the horse within fifty moves." ”
Li Xiang wished that he would not face Ge Ritu, so he naturally agreed.
Zhao Er turned to Ge Ritu and shouted: "Haha, face to face with martial arts, why use our adults to come forward, even I can beat you in a hundred moves." Do you dare to compete with Zhao Eryi? ”
When Ge Ritu was about to answer, it was the masked man who came out to interrupt, only to see him riding a horse and rushing to Ge Ritu's side and arching his hand to Zhao Er on the wall and asking, "Your Excellency is the Zhao brother of Shuzhong?" ”
Zhao Er: "That's already in the past, and now Zhao Er is just a small capital in Shaoxi Mansion." ”
The masked said: "That being the case, this fight is over." It's up to you to see if he can hurt my handsome man from afar on the city wall. How is it? ”
Li Xiang pretended to be unwilling and said, "It's a pity, it's a good thing that can be won quickly, but it was ruined by you." Anyway, I'll show you the power of the cannons in the city. Let's talk about it first, if the marshal is too seriously injured and returns to the west, he can't regret it. ”
Ge Ritu shouted: "Talking so much nonsense, if Ben Shuai really dies under your cannon, it should be like this, and it has nothing to do with anyone." But within a moment, if your bullshit cannon can't hurt Ben Shuai, even if you lose. ”
Li Xiang: "Okay, I can't hurt you in a moment, even if I lose." But the marshal must not be out of my sight during this period, otherwise the marshal will lose. ”
Ge Ritu: "Ben Shuai promises to stay in the square where you can see it, and never go far." Since you are so sure that you can hurt Ben Shuai, I will open the lottery for this bet. If you win, our army will pay you 500,000 stone grains and 50,000 old and young people, and withdraw from Jiang'an. If Ben Commander wins, you will immediately hand over the cannons. ”
The masked man clapped his palms and said loudly, "This is still fair, Dashuai, and bet with him." ”
Gritu asked, "Bet with him?" ”
"Yes, bet with him." The masked man nodded affirmatively, turned his horse's head and said loudly, "From the time I return to the big handsome's flag, you two are ready." ”
Li Xiang whispered to Zhao Er: "Zhao Er, you use the tiger squat cannon to guard a point, if Ge Ritu is not at this point, just fire at him once you reach this point." ”
After Zhao Er answered, Li Xiang said to the guards beside him: "You go and choose some guards who can hit with bows and arrows, hide your body and don't show your face, whether it is a person or a horse, shoot at Ge Ritu according to my command." ”
At a distance of one hundred and fifty zhang, there is at least seventy percent certainty of hitting a fixed target, Li Xiang deliberately walked to the mouth of the trench and leaned out his body and shouted to Ge Ritu: "Dashuai, can you get closer, you are too far away like this." ”
Gritu smirked: "Haha! Child, Ben Shuai can stay in your line of sight according to the agreement, even if you are farther away, you can't say that Ben Shuai is in breach of contract, if your cannon can't go far, then simply admit defeat. ”
Li Xiang said angrily: "Nonsense, even if I know that I will lose, I will try my best to give it a try." Be careful, I'm going to sacrifice the cannon. ”
Li Xiang glanced back at the tiger squatting cannon, and Zhao Er nodded to him to signal that he could do it. Looking to the left and right, the new army of guards crowded the entrance of the wall for cover, and the guards bent down and stretched out their firearms from the cracks in the people to set up on the wall to aim. There were also people who kept bringing all kinds of equipment from inside the enemy towers and under the city walls, preparing to defend the city. The crossbowmen of the convoy also attach rockets to the launch racks, ready to fire.
Li Xiang shouted: "Shoot!" ”
The sound of "crackling" was like a rapid fire of fried beans, and there was a slight commotion in the Mongolian military formation standing quietly in the square opposite, and many people widened their eyes in surprise and looked incredulous.
While the masked man watched a puff of white smoke emanate from the city walls, a row of the same white smoke emerged from the crowd on the city walls on either side of him.
Looking at his side again, there were explosions everywhere, and when he looked at Ge Ritu again, he had already fallen to the ground with people and horses, and there were more than a dozen holes in the bodies of people and horses that were bubbling with blood, and it seemed that he could hear the "grunting" sound of blood coming out. The iron spear of the Geritu fell a few feet away from the corpse.
Suddenly, the masked man seemed to see a smoky black object flash by, as if it had pierced Geritu's body. Just when I wondered if I was looking at the dazzle, a red and white firework had burst out of Geritu's corpse, and at this time, I heard two muffled sounds of "tong, bang" in my ears.
When everyone looked at Ge Ritu again, his body had already shattered into an unknown number of pieces, flying on the ground in a radius of three or four feet.
For a while, people on both sides of the city wall watched this terrifying scene silently, and no one broke the silence at this moment.
"How so?" The masked man asked himself in a low voice, but his heart was rapidly turning his thoughts: "Is the power of the Song people's cannons so great?" Compared to the cannons of the Jin people, they are much stronger, and if these cannons cannot be used by me, they must be destroyed to eliminate the troubles. ”
"Qi Muge," the masked man whispered, and when he heard that Qi Muge also responded in a low voice, he looked at Li Xiang on the city and commanded in a low voice: "After I leave, you can lead the troops to retreat, the enemy has such a sharp weapon, we can't capture this city." ”
When the masked man finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of the east gate without waiting for his answer, and the group of staff and generals who had come with Geritu did not even glance at the commander who had become a pile of minced meat in the square, and followed the masked man to ride away. The Mongolian army in the square, as soon as the masked man left, was guided by the hundred or so cavalry holding the flag first, and retreated in order, and after a short time, they were all gone. The square was left with a wooden lattice standing on horseback, a broken corpse and a dead horse in front of the wall, and a few pools of red blood. (To be continued.) )
