Chapter 1533: Living and Dying with the City (1)

"Adult ......"

A gunner said astringently: "These shells, these shells seem to be fake, a layer of iron sheet on the outside, and the inside is filled with yellow mud blocks, and when a cannon goes out, the iron sheet and yellow mud blocks are all shattered, and they can't even shoot out fifty steps, as for the flowering shells, there is no gunpowder ...... in them."

"What!"

Duan Xuan was shocked, picked up a Pu knife from the side, and slashed at the cannonball, the cannonball was divided into two halves in response, and sure enough, there was no lead in it, no sand, it was all some yellow mud!

"Order, check all the shells in our stockpile, quick, see how many are still usable!"

Duan Xuan shouted, originally when these shells were sent over, no one had carefully checked them, after all, there was a seal of the Firearms Bureau, which meant that the Firearms Bureau had already checked it, and there would be no problem.

Soon, the results of the inspection came out, this is three months ago, just delivered shells, a total of three batches, more than 30,000 shells, almost all of them are fake, some shells have run out, and the remaining almost eighty percent are unusable fake shells or inferior shells!

Duan Xuan was blinded when he boarded, fake shells, all of them were fake shells!

Now that the war is getting more and more fierce, tens of thousands of Rakshasa soldiers are attacking the city, and all the shells in Manmeng New Town have become fake, how can this battle be fought? Without artillery to help the battle, Weihuo City will be even more unable to hold it!

"Ahh ……”

Duan Xuan was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out, "The traitor is misleading the country, the traitor is misleading the country!" ”

"My lord, my lord's anger is ......"

Li Yao on the side hurriedly helped Duan Xuan to sit down.

Duan Xuan's blood soaked a large part of his clothes, and his face quickly turned gray, this time, Wei Huo City is really hanging, Guo Zhen is too far away from Wei Huo City, a distance of about a thousand miles, and it will take more than ten days to march at full speed, but without shells, how many days can this Wei Huo City hold?

"It's over, it's over! Your Majesty, Duan Xuan can't help your old man......"

Duan Xuan looked stunned and muttered.

Li Yao shouted: "My lord, even if we all die here, we must defend Weihuo City, but we must spread the news, the two armies are fighting, and the imperial court actually supplies us with fake shells, how can this be reasonable, Lao Tzu is dead here, and he can't close his eyes!" We must play the court, ask the emperor to make the decision for us, and sweep away the scum of the court! ”

Duan Xuan suddenly woke up, yes, fake cannonballs, Weihuo City is a fake cannonball, what about Kulun City, is there also a fake cannonball? If this is the case, then the entire Mobei is afraid that it will fall......

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......Boom

Outside the city, the cannon sound of the Rakshasa soldiers rang out again, and one after another cannonballs smashed towards the city, Weihuo City fell into chaos again, without the help of artillery, the spirit of the soldiers of Manmeng Xinzhen sank, how to defend Weihuo City? Resist with flesh and blood alone?

Under the cover of artillery fire, the charge of the Rakshasa soldiers was launched again, and thousands of infantry began to assault again, and the guns rang out!

"Hurry, hurry, prepare for battle, you must not let the Rakshasa soldiers climb up!"

Li Yao was shocked and shouted urgently.

A group of Ming soldiers climbed to the top of the city again and began to block the Rakshasa soldiers with all their might, and the two sides once again launched a fierce battle at the head of the city.

Duan Xuan gritted his teeth, reached out and ripped off a large piece of the hem of his robe, bit his fingers, and wrote quickly, and in a short time, a letter was written.

"Li Yao!"

Duan Xuan shouted: "Take the letter from the official, immediately leave Dongcheng, rush to Kulun City, send a letter to Guo Zhen, and immediately order seven hundred miles to be sent to the capital urgently!" ”

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said urgently: "My lord, if you want to go, you will go, I will defend Huocheng to the death!" ”

"Fart! If you dare to say more, Lao Tzu will chop you! This is an order, the military order is like a mountain, the Ming soldiers, which one dares to disobey the military order in front of the battle? Take a few brothers, go out of the city at once, and kill them! ”

Duan Xuan roared angrily: "It doesn't matter if we die, the news must be sent, it is a matter of Daming Jiangshan Sheji, the success or failure of the war, you can't be allowed to disobey orders, get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

"So, what about you?"

Li Yao said astringently, the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Jie took charge of the army, the first rule is not to disobey orders, and violators will be decided, which is the most basic requirement for building an iron-blooded hero, and all soldiers have been deeply imprinted!

"Serve the country with your body, but only die!"

Duan Xuan said ruthlessly: "We have lost a game in Manmeng Xinzhen, and this time we were defeated in the hands of the Rakshasa soldiers, my general soldier can only apologize with death, today, Weihuo City is here, Manmeng Xinzhen is in, I Duan Xuan is here, Weihuo City is dead, I Duan Xuan will take thousands of brothers and bury bones in Weihuo City!" ”

"My lord, how can this be done? Otherwise, we will lead the army to kill it, as long as Lord Guo's reinforcements arrive, it will be a big deal to make a comeback. ”

"Don't talk so much nonsense, get out of Lao Tzu immediately!"

Duan Xuan shouted: "Wei Huocheng is lost, do you think Lao Tzu still has the face to live?" If you don't get out of the city, I'll kill you now! ”

Li Yao gritted his teeth and shouted: "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”

Li Yao jumped on his war horse and ran out of Dongcheng, the east is Beihai, Weihuo City is built by the sea, and the Rakshasa soldiers have no way to surround Dongcheng, leaving Li Yao with a gap. ”

Duan Xuan looked at all the soldiers on the head of the city, and shouted: "Brothers, without artillery, we are still the elite of the Ming Dynasty who can fight, Weihuo City is here, and Manmeng New Town is here!" Let me see your blood! All hit Lao Tzu with bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat! ”

Without the cover of artillery, four or five thousand soldiers could not stop the Rakshasa soldiers who were constantly attacking with the muskets in their hands alone, and now it was time for them to fight desperately!

Duan Xuan once again wielded his bright silver spear, staring coldly into the distance, this time, the Rakshasa soldiers not only dispatched infantry, but also a group of cavalry rushed over, the dense artillery fire made the eastern city of Weihuo City already dilapidated, and in some places even the war horses could rush directly up!

"Kill!"

Seeing that a Cossack cavalryman approached, Duan Xuan shook his hands vigorously, and the tip of the spear went straight to the throat of the Cossack cavalry!

The Cossack cavalry fell off their horses and died on the spot, but one cavalryman died, and four or five cavalrymen rushed to the front, with the sabers in their hands, and at the same time slashed towards Duan Xuan!

"Drink!"

Duan Xuan swept the spear horizontally, holding the swords of several people, and then the spear swept, the spear slashed, and a blood mist swayed in the air, Duan Xuan had already given up his life, naturally it was extremely ruthless, it was a completely lifeless way to fight, and in the blink of an eye, six or seven Rakshasa soldiers had died under Duan Xuan's hands!
