The deafening sound of cannons drowned out all the sounds around them, and even if the two people standing opposite each other were talking loudly and loudly facing each other, they couldn't hear what was being said at all.

Six hundred Dingkun cannons began to roar, and countless shells flew towards the Mongolian army's barracks.

At this moment, the Mongolian sergeants who are ready to go are also ready for everything, and the emperor's decree has been issued, and they will launch a fierce attack on the Ming army under the leadership of the Mongolian prince Habichi.

It's a pity that the prepared Mongolian sergeants were bombarded by artillery shells before they had time to rush out of the barracks.

The cannonballs with sparks came towards the barracks, and the fence in front of the barracks became papier-mâché lanterns, which were instantly shattered, and the cannonballs that flew towards the Mongolian sergeants who had gathered together triggered a series of bloody roads.

All this happened in an instant, and all of this was a familiar rhythm for Wu Shaogang and others.

Such a situation should be the most important and fatal mistake of Kublai Khan, if he had launched a charge earlier, he would not have been passive, but unfortunately time cannot be turned back, and the situation is already like this.

Hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers were ready to attack after the artillery bombardment was completed.

The chaotic situation that appeared in the military camp in an instant made Kublai Khan's face turn pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Seeing that the cannon was destroyed by the cannonballs, the new attached sergeants, who were terrified of the artillery, were scurrying around in the barracks, looking for a place to hide, and the brave Mongolian iron cavalry sergeants were also a little overwhelmed, after all, their flesh and blood could not resist the cannonballs.

The screams and neighing of horses were drowned out by the sound of artillery, and the roars of the officers had no effect.

The Mongolian prince Habichi, who had made all the preparations, looked at everything in front of him and couldn't believe it, he had never seen such a scene, and he had never comprehended the sharp Dingkun cannon.

If it weren't for the desperate protection of the guards around him, Habichi would have died under the shell.

Even Kublai Khan's Chinese military tent was not a very safe place, after all, shells did not grow eyes.

It is said that Kublai Khan knew about the Dingkun artillery and made a series of preparations, for example, in the process of the Mongol iron cavalry attack, he moved as fast as possible and fought with the Ming army, so that the Ming army's artillery would not have much effect, and the scouts focused on the location of the Ming army's artillery.

But at the most critical moment, Kublai Khan did not think of this, or Kublai Khan, who was not accustomed to relying on artillery to fight, and his thinking was still stuck in the concept of relying on the brave Mongolian iron cavalry.

It's not that Kublai Khan was unwilling to progress, but Kublai Khan didn't know all this at all.

When the shells whistled and flew towards the tent of the Chinese army, the guards desperately put Kublai Khan aside.

I watched the whistling shells pass through the tents of the Chinese army and rush towards other tents and barracks.

Kublai Khan was a little stunned, he was indeed a little confused, and at this time, he finally understood why the battle of Luoyang, the battle of Kaifeng and the battle of Lianshui County, Prince Moge, Prince Tachar, Boyan, Ashu, Ali Hague and other powerful generals of the Great Yuan court would suffer a fiasco, and they would be beaten without any power to fight back.

Only ten minutes passed, Kublai Khan's holy decree was issued, abandoning the camp, and the whole army withdrew in the direction of Chenzhuang, avoiding the bombardment of the Ming artillery, and preserving its own strength to the greatest extent.

The hasty evacuation, the aftermath is huge, the first is the grain and grass, countless grain and grass are piled up in the camp, without these grain and grass, it is difficult for the army to continue to maintain, and the second is that the Ming army may launch a whirlwind attack when the army withdraws, and many sergeants who have lost their sharpness are difficult to resist.

But Kublai Khan has no other way, if a large number of sergeants and war horses are nested in the camp, then the artillery of the Ming army will cause immeasurable damage, and the resulting losses are unbearable for Kublai Khan, what is even more terrible is that the sergeants who have encountered the long-term bombardment of artillery are likely to be unbearable at some point, and suddenly collapse, really at that time, everything is irreparable, and now they can evacuate the camp and retain a glimmer of life.

It is an unbreakable truth that flesh and blood cannot defend themselves against artillery.

Kublai Khan, who had already reacted, also understood this.

Just when Kublai Khan's holy decree was issued, the artillery of the Ming army also began to bombard in depth, and more shells began to cover the entire military camp.

Some tents were hit by shells with sparks and began to burn, and there was no one to put out the fires, and now the main task was to save their lives.

Twenty minutes passed, and the Mongolian sergeants began to assemble and prepare to evacuate under the bombardment of artillery shells.

Su Wei originally planned to escort Kublai Khan to evacuate towards Chenzhuang first, and the deputy marshal Prince Hedan also issued such an order, but Kublai Khan resolutely refused, and he insisted on withdrawing with many soldiers.

The army withdrew in the direction of Chenzhuang, and there must be a large army after it was broken, otherwise the Ming army would cover up, and the situation of rout would appear in an instant, and the fate of the broken army could be imagined.

At the critical moment, Prince Hedan, Prince Habichi, and Wuliang Hetai and others all stood up and implored some of the sergeants to take charge of the affairs of the broken post, and if they wanted to really resist the pursuit of the Ming army, the number of sergeants after the break would need at least about 100,000 people, and tens of thousands of people would not have much effect.

Kublai Khan did not hesitate, nor did he have a child's affection, he ordered Prince Habichi to lead an army of 100,000 to break off, and among these 100,000 people, the new attached army sergeants accounted for more than ninety percent.

At the critical moment, Kublai Khan was still sober, he needed to keep the Mongolian iron cavalry, which was the foundation of the Great Yuan court, and it was also the guarantee that the Ming army would be able to fight face to face next, and the combat effectiveness of the new annexed army was much weaker and could not be compared with the Mongolian iron cavalry.

As for ordering Habichi to lead the army to break off, it is also to ensure the smooth withdrawal of the main force, Habichi is not afraid of the sergeants of the Ming army, and he will definitely be able to lead the sergeants to fight desperately, delay time, and let the main force of the army withdraw smoothly.

The artillery shells are still pouring towards the Mongolian military camp, the casualties are increasing, and what is even more terrifying is that many sergeants have shown panic on their faces.

Kublai Khan would not continue to delay time, and under the escort of the Su guard, he withdrew in the direction of Chen Zheng, and Prince Hedan and Wuliang Hetai and others led the main force of the Mongolian iron cavalry, following him to evacuate in the direction of Chen Zhuang.

At this moment, no one thought of the mountains of food piled up in the camp, and there was no one to take care of the food, since the army had decided to evacuate in the direction of Chenzhuang, if it was a step too late and could not keep up with the army, it would mean that a small life would be left in the camp.

As he was about to leave the barracks, Kublai Khan looked back, even though there were still shells whizzing in the sky.

A hint of resentment appeared on Kublai Khan's face, and he didn't think that the battle had not really begun, and he was about to order the army to retreat to the rear, and the artillery of the Ming army was too sharp to resist at all.

Kublai Khan was not completely desperate, as long as the army could be evacuated smoothly and finally arrived in Yishui, he would be able to think of a way to deal with the Ming army.

The sudden arrival of the herald made Zhang Binghui a little surprised.

The herald brought an order from the emperor himself, and after another round of bombardment by the Dingkun artillery, the bombardment of the Mongolian military camp was suspended, and the last round of bombardment must be completed within five minutes.

The herald beside Zhang Binghui quickly raised the red flag in his hand and waved it three times from left to right in the direction of the position.

As soon as the red flag was waved, the sound of the explosion suddenly became dense, and the muzzle of the Dingkun cannon carried Mars, and the shells carried Mars, roaring towards the Mongolian military camp.

Zhang Binghui knew very well that the charge was about to begin, and at this time, the six hundred artillery pieces were fired almost simultaneously, and the lethality caused by it was huge, and it would also make the Mongolian sergeants tremble.

The sudden dense sound of artillery made Kublai Khan, who was about to leave the barracks, tremble, and he turned back again to look at the already messy barracks.

The cannonballs whistling in the sky suddenly increased, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and countless sparks formed a brilliant pattern, which was fatal.

Kublai Khan understood very well that the Ming army intensified the artillery bombardment, and with the pouring of shells, the Ming sergeants would soon begin to rush and kill, if they were not careful, the momentum of the Ming army's charge was likely to completely overwhelm the broken Mongolian sergeants.

A cannonball whistled in, seeing that it was about to threaten Kublai Khan, a guard next to him desperately killed thousands, and whipped the war horse under Kublai Khan's crotch with a horse whip, the war horse was in pain, and rushed forward, so the guard had no time to dodge, and even the people and horses were concentrated by the cannonball, and a wisp of blood splattered out.

When Kublai Khan turned back, his eyes were red, and he couldn't be angry when he saw the guards die in front of him.

Just when Kublai Khan was about to speak, Prince Hedan came, he looked anxious, he also saw the scene just now, if the emperor issued an order at this moment, the whole army stayed and fought with the Ming army, then a more tragic situation will appear, the final situation may even be irreparable, the sergeants who encountered the bombardment for half an hour are a little dazed at the moment, there is not much morale, and it is the best decision to evacuate quickly in the direction of Chenzhuang.

Seeing Hedan's anxious expression, Kublai Khan instantly sobered up, he looked at the guards on the ground, let out a long sigh, waved his horsewhip, and walked in the direction of Chen Zhuang.

The Mongolian iron cavalry commanded by Prince Hedan also began to withdraw quickly in the direction of Chenzhuang, and only the 100,000 Mongolian soldiers led by Habichi were still in the barracks.
