The mortars in the city had already begun to fire, and huge stone cannonballs had crossed the city walls and landed on the battlefield full of craters outside the city, the accuracy of the mortars was not very high, except for a few shells that fell into the crowd and exploded on the bloody sideways, most of them just uselessly set off a choking smoke on the loess. Lu Wenhuan, who was already red-eyed, ran forward in small steps, and roared hoarsely: "The change of life and death is decided today!" The Progresser Glory of Generations! The bones of those who retreat are gone! ”

Lu Wenhuan followed Lu Wenhuan as his own confidant generals, and he also encouraged the generals and soldiers to be one, so that the army only knew that there was a chief general, and did not know that there was a growing atmosphere of the country, which was very different from the concept of building the army with loyalty and righteousness, loyalty to the monarch and loving the people advocated by Zheng Yunming. But the drawback is also prominent, that is, once the core general defects, the entire army will completely fall to the other side.

In front of them, these Huaidong elites who frantically pounced on Ezhou for the sake of aliens are the most vivid lessons.

Even Chen Guang, who was known for his calmness, began to lose his breath and ordered loudly: "The Eagle Artillery Team prepares!" Wait for my order, one, two"

"Don't move!" Wei Sheng, who was dressed in black armor, stood steadily on the lookout like an indestructible statue, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let them get closer, and fight again when they get close!" ”

His resolute and calm posture made Wei Sheng after this battle add a new nickname "General Shi of Ezhou" in addition to Zheng Yunming's tiger.

But at this moment, "General Shi" seemed to be overwhelmed by the raging waves that swept in. Lu Wenhuan's most famous strong crossbowmen entered the shooting distance, and had already raised their crossbows and began to release arrows, and after a round of intensive and accurate shooting, dozens of Song gunners fell with arrows. The musketeers on both flanks spread out to the flanks to form an evasive formation, reloading themselves, firing freely, and with sparse but continuous fire, covering the group of heavy infantry in the center, which had gradually formed arrows, rushed towards the gap.

"Fire!" With the wave of Wei Sheng's arm, the muzzles of dozens of eagle guns gathered at the gap in the city wall sprayed white gunpowder smoke and dazzling fire together, and the fist-sized lead bullets covered the gap in the city wall like a storm, flying the severed limbs and remnants of the first batch of heavy armored sergeants who rushed into the air, and the blood mist shrouded the short gap, but such a terrifying scene failed to stop the footsteps of Lu Wenhuan's troops, one of the advantages of the Song Dynasty army was compared to those Mongol troops who had not yet experienced large-scale firearms warfareThe fact that it can last longer in the face of a large number of firearms is the result of Zheng Yunming's almost brutal infantry training against firearms, and now once Lü Wenhuan leads the dead to attack Ezhou, the Song army also has to face brave soldiers who are not afraid of firearms.

Wei Sheng pulled out the saber at his waist and shouted, "Lu Wenhuan, I'm your grandmother!" The frightened Chen Guang didn't have time to stop him, only to see the ironclad soldiers neatly arranged behind the Yingyang artillery shouting in unison: "Lu Wenhuan, I'm your grandmother!" Wielding a shining weapon in his hand, like a fierce beast out of a cage, he rushed towards Lu Wenhuan's troops head-on. completely ignored Lu Wenhuan's grandmother, that is, the grandmother of General Lu Wende, the deputy envoy of the Great Song Jinghu system.

Death and blood spread inside and outside the city walls with the sound of hammers smashing bones and stabbing bodies with long knives, and it was said that the hoplites were like a nose calling, which was unbearable to hear, but in fact, although it was not a hell, it was not far from the killing field of Yama. In the melee, Lu Wenhuan's soldiers had a slight upper hand with their fighting spirit to fight to the death, but Wei Sheng's subordinates were also habitual fighters who chose one out of a hundred, and the two armies piled up layers of dead corpses in the gap, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered, and they did not retreat.

Lu Wenhuan's armor was covered with splatters of blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own people or Wei Shengjun's, he swung the war hammer in his hand vigorously, knocking down one enemy army after another, and the arc of the war hammer was blurred, and he couldn't tell it a little. He tried his best to find Wei Sheng's position, he knew that Zheng Yunming's tiger would definitely go into hand-to-hand combat by himself, although Zheng Yunming's troops were famous for their sharp firearms, but the most powerful dragons and tigers under his command were all light and daring to fight, and they took the lead. Han Feng's red armor assault and Wei Sheng's Xuanjia galloping are all famous killing moves.

But among the strangled military horses on the front line, Wei Sheng was not found. Lu Wenhuan tried hard to distinguish that if he wanted to rush into Xiangyang, he had to deal with Wei Sheng, at least to injure him so that he could not fight on the front line, as long as he inspired morale, Wei Sheng's subordinates would not retreat even if they were the last person to fight with the knife, and he only had three thousand people, and he could fight with the enemy without winning or losing with a momentum, if it really became a war of attrition, then when the strength was exhausted, it would be the time to collapse.

Lu Wenhuan finally discovered Wei Sheng's location, and he was surprised to find that Wei Sheng was not brandishing his famous iron long knife to charge and kill the enemy in the first line, he was on an earthen platform behind the Song army's front, and seemed to be leisurely watching the situation.

I saw him unhurriedly pick up a firecracker, and Lu Wenhuan could even see that this firearm was much more slender than other firecrackers. If he had discovered Wei Sheng earlier, he could have seen Wei Sheng's own soldiers struggling to hit the copper rod with a copper hammer, and rushed into the barrel of the gun to forcibly stuff bullets wrapped in deer skin and deer oil.

This is a rifled gun, of course, Zheng Yunming is not going to name it a rifle, a gun without rifling becomes a smoothbore gun, and a rifled gun is a rifled gun, this is Zheng Yunming's weapon philosophy. There are many problems with rifled guns, such as the troublesome near-collapse of bullet loading, and it is believed that not many shooters are really willing to use a sledgehammer to shove a bullet into the chamber of a gun on the battlefield. But it has one advantage that a smoothbore gun can never match, the accuracy of shooting. An unprecedented boost. During the exercise, the famous master Pei Gen even hit a crow on the tree with a rifled firearm used by the real yàn, so the army informally called the rifled gun as a crow, but the cost of shooting crows is high, it is inconvenient to use, and it is generally used as a sniper weapon for a small number of equipment.

The rifled gun was only equipped for a year, and before that, although Lu Wenhuan had heard of it, he had never seen the real thing, and when he saw Wei Sheng raise the gun, his instinctive reaction was to shout loudly: "Iron shield cover!" Then he quickly dodged and ducked into the crowd. The firebolt's shot is not very accurate, and it is difficult to hit if you hide in the crowd.

Several sword and shield hands rushed over, raised the iron regiment card in their hands, the power of the fire gun is enough to penetrate the wooden shield and the iron shield, so it is already the consensus of the north and the south to deal with the fire gun can not use the wooden shield, in order to fight against the flying projectile, both armies have cast a larger iron regiment card, and even the steel regiment card, but the weight of the steel regiment card makes not many people in the army can use it. The large iron regiment card has become a necessary equipment for the general to command the guard when commanding the battle, after all, the general is the opponent's favorite target in the melee.

Before the iron shield guards formed a formation, the rifled musket in Wei Sheng's hand had already been fired, and the delicate lead bullet accelerated in a circle along the spiral rifling in the chamber under the high pressure generated by the gunpowder deflagration, and finally flew straight to Lu Wenhuan who was in the crowd in the distance with a whistling momentum. Because of the rapid rotation of the projectile, the trajectory becomes a steady straight line, and the speed is also accelerated. Lu Wenhuan barely had time to react, and the projectile shattered his silver-gray shoes, entered from the bridge of his nose, and directly hit his forehead.

Lu Wenhuan barely had time to scream, and he fell directly to the ground. Before he died, he didn't even have time to feel the pain. But he could not have realized that his death would be a turning point for the entire Mongol Empire.

As the Lord was killed with one blow, the daredevils who were still fighting fiercely just now immediately scattered and fled, and some of the brave people who had no time to retreat even dropped their blades and knelt on the ground, begging Wei Sheng for mercy. They all know that Zheng Yunming has always been lenient and a character who knows how to use pawns, and now it is not a shame to change the court again.

It was the Mongolian Khan himself who was really annoyed, although he couldn't really see what was happening in front of him in the speculum, but the fall of the flag was a very obvious sign, and the retreating defeated soldiers carried back Lu Wenhuan's body, and Lu Wenhuan, whose blood-stained face was staring at the sky with round eyes, seemed to be complaining about the injustice of the fainting of the heavens, Hao Jing was very interested and did not make a sound, people die greatly, Lu Wenhuan's death, the suspicion that he was an undercover agent of the Southern Dynasty naturally dissipated, and the Great Khan calmed down, It is imperative that he be held accountable as the perpetrator.

Now Meng Ke Khan just roared loudly: "Let the Shenwu cannon hit hard!" Let Wei Sheng know how powerful the Mongols are! "The Shenwu cannon fired one after another, but it did not play a substantial role. Although the gap was widened a little, the morale of the defenders in the city was greatly boosted, and they repelled two more Mongol attacks in succession, until Prince Mo Ge personally came up to persuade him, and Meng Ge had to stop. Blindly attacking under immature conditions is a taboo for soldiers, and such brute force will not only lose troops in vain, but in fact gain nothing, but will make the Mongol army even more panicked.

Soon after, another sergeant reported: "Gundam has led dozens of henchmen to the south by boat!" ”

Zhang Rou was furious, stepped forward and said: "Please allow the Great Khan, I will take ten clippers to pursue, and I will definitely capture that guy alive!" ”

Meng Ge looked at the corpse of Lu Wenhuan who stopped on the ground, and said: "That's it, this person is just scared because of Lu Wenhuan's death, this time he suspected General Lu for no reason, which caused the army's heart to waver, and it must be a lesson, if Genghis Khan was here, he would never have committed such a mistake." ”

The stairs were immediately praised, Lian Xixian twisted his beard and said with a smile: "This is the attitude of Tang Taizong who is happy when he hears it, the Great Khan has such a mind, why worry that the world cannot be calm." ”
