However, with 500 muskets, Zhu Han's training for the new army could barely begin.

In school grounds other than the state town.

The 3,000 New Army is training intensively.

The musketeers, who had been 1,000 men, were reduced to 500 men, and the spearmen were expanded to 1,500 men.

The 3,000 soldiers of the new army were divided into three small phalanxes, and six three-pound guns were deployed between the phalanxes.

With the sound of drums and brass whistles, the soldiers shifted their arrays in different directions.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others were all watching the drill from the side, and after seeing this scene, they were all confused.

They couldn't understand what Zhu Han's practice method was for.

"Brother, why don't you just let them spin in circles, don't you practice rushing into formation?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Han was angry.

"Brother, these people haven't practiced enough, they can only make some simple turns, and if they are allowed to rush into battle, they won't be able to walk many steps, and they will disperse."

Zhu Han's training methods were basically carried out according to the standards of the early modern army.

As far as historical experience is concerned, even in the early modern army, if it wants to train to have basic combat effectiveness, it will take at least three months to take shape under the condition of ensuring food and training.

Zhu Han's soldiers of the New Army have only been training for a month, so they are naturally far behind.

"However, if it is used to defend the city, it will definitely be enough, not to mention these infantry, just those ten cannons, as long as they are on the head of the city, no one can get close to them!" Zhu Han said.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others came to observe the drills of the new army today, because they wanted to hand over the state to Zhu Han to guard it.

In fact, this is also a last resort.

The Red Turban Army's uprising, which was in full swing, finally suffered its first major defeat.

Xuzhou's Red Turban Army Peng Da, Zhao Junyong and others were defeated by the Yuan army and routed all the way to Haozhou City, followed by the Yuan army.

Because of the addition of the demolition maniac Zhou Dexing, Liu Futong is attacking the city in Henan and has no time to rush to the aid of Haozhou City.

Faced with the more than 100,000 yuan army that was chased from Xuzhou, Guo Zixing and others could only ask Zhu Yuanzhang for help.

Even to the point of an emergency when three groups of messengers for help were sent in one day.

Haozhou is the northern barrier of Dingyuan, once the Yuan army captures Haozhou, then Dingyuan will not be protected.

Zhu Yuanzhang could only lead the main force to rescue Haozhou, leaving only thousands of soldiers and horses to stay in the state.

"Brother, you can rest assured that you will go to Haozhou, there is no problem in handing it over to me except for the state." Zhu Han said confidently.

In this rescue of Haozhou, Zhu Yuanzhang took almost all the recruited and surrendered troops away, in order to prevent someone in the rear from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

It's just that in this way, the problem of insufficient main force is exposed, and the soldiers and horses left behind in the state can only choose Zhu Han's 3,000 new army.

These 3,000 new troops were basically recruited and selected by Zhu Han from the common people, and they were still relatively reliable.

"In fact, there is basically no problem in excluding the state, the Yuan army in Huainan and Jiangbei is basically only two or three thousand remnants of the defeated generals, and it is impossible to dare to attack, and if the Jiangnan Yuan army wants to attack the state, it must attack Liuhe, so as to give time to react and be ready for defense." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"Brother, there's no problem, I think so too." Zhu Han said.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Han on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll hand it over to you in addition to the state, if there is any emergency, immediately send someone to tell us, even if it doesn't matter whether Haozhou lives or dies, we will come back to save you!" ”

Of course, Zhu Han can understand his brother's feelings.

Although Haozhou is important, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, it is far from being comparable to his younger brother Zhu Han.

"Brother, don't worry about going to Haozhou!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

Two days later, when Haozhou City sent an urgent letter asking for help, and an army of more than 100,000 yuan approached Haozhou, Zhu Yuanzhang led 60,000 righteous troops from Zhuzhou to the north and rushed to the aid of Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, Peng Da and others in Haozhou.

Zhu Han is in charge of the defense of the state, so he naturally has to be cautious.

In fact, apart from guarding the city gates, there is nothing to worry about.

Zhu Han inspected the defense every day, then inspected the weapons workshop, and finally explored around the city.

The powerful Confucian Lu Wendao and others in the city also came to visit from time to time.

Lu Wendao and other heroes are not bad, and Zhu Han also intends to explore their details, and both sides are happy.

In fact, in Zhu Han's heart, he couldn't wait to raid Lu Wendao's powerful people in addition to the state.

Except for nearly half of the land shops in the state, they are concentrated in the hands of Lu Wendao and other powerful families.

Zhu Han wanted to distribute land to his new army, but he couldn't find much suitable land.

If one or two of them can be eliminated, it will be enough to feed a new army of 3,000 people.

Zhu Han knocked on the side to explore the reality of each powerful family.

I am going to wait until my brother Zhu Yuanzhang comes back, and select some of them who have bad deeds to defeat Fentian.

After about half a month, everything was stable.

On this day, Zhu Han suddenly noticed that something was not quite right.

Liuhe City will send people to report every day, but today there is no scout from Liuhe.

Zhu Han immediately sent someone to check and inquire.

However, in half a day, the soldiers sent ran back in a panic.

"My lord, it's not good, something happened in Liuhe City!" The pro-soldier was panting.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Han hurriedly asked.

In addition to the state city and Liuhe city, both are located on the edge of the Qingliu River, except for the state city in the upstream, Liuhe city in the downstream.

The Qingliu River flows eastward into the Yangtze River, which means that Liuhecheng is the gateway from the Yangtze River to the prefecture.

Its location is naturally very important, and Zhu Han is naturally concerned.

"On Liuhe City, there is no longer our military order flag, and there are still many rangers outside the city on guard, and it looks like something is wrong!" The pro-soldier said.

The flags of Liuhe City will change different orders and positions according to the instructions every day, in order to make a kind of code.

If the flag is not raised as required on any day, it means that something has happened in the city.

This kind of covert method is exactly the method used quietly in the rebel army.

"Monk Liu of Liuhe City, but the old brother of the beginning, it is absolutely impossible to remember this problem wrongly, and the one who guards Liuhe with him is the general Han Cunhou, so that Monk Liu has probably suffered a poisonous hand."

Zhu Han immediately thought of the worst possibility.

"Lu Zhongheng!" Zhu Han immediately shouted.

"My lord, the last general!" Lu Zhongheng hurriedly said.

"You lead the scouts, quickly go find out the situation!" Zhu Han ordered.

"Yes, my lord!"

Lu Zhongheng learned a lot of skills from Xu Da, and he was also good at commanding cavalry.

Zhu Han then ordered the city gate to be blocked, and the whole city was under martial law.

He had already guessed that the change in Liuhe was probably not related to Han Cunhou's repeated occurrence, and there might be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

Really.

When Lu Zhongheng led the cavalry to probe and returned, he immediately brought the worst news.

"My lord, the river outside Liuhe City is full of Tartar warships, and there are a large number of soldiers and horses outside Liuhe City!" Lu Zhongheng said.

"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Zhu Han hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, but there are definitely more than thirty or forty thousand!" Lu Zhongheng said.

In addition to the martial law in the state city, it immediately caused panic among the people in the city.

Especially the powerful families, with Lu Wendao as the capital, came to the government to see Zhu Han and wanted to inquire about what happened.

Their curiosity didn't last long.

Just the next day, a large number of Yuan army flags came from the direction of Liuhe.

This Yuan army advanced by land and water, which can be described as unprecedentedly powerful.

Zhu Han led everyone to climb the city wall and saw the banner of this Yuan soldier from a distance.

"Dayuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Zuocheng?"

It is the soldiers and horses of the barbarian Hague, as the general of Mengyuan who is as famous as Aru Gray, the barbarian Hague has a friendship with Aru Gray.

Ever since he heard that Aru Ash had been assassinated, the Barbarian Hague has been trying to avenge him and reclaim the state.

"Damn, that's not just thirty or forty thousand, at least one hundred thousand!"

Zhu Han looked at the Yuan army that suddenly arrived outside the city and gasped.

Just the white sails of those endless warships stretched for more than ten miles.

Coupled with the infantry cavalry on land, it can be even more powerful.

"My lord, we only have 3,000 people, I'm afraid we can't even put the city wall on the ground!" Chen Baodao immediately reminded.

"That's right, my lord should send someone to recruit the strong men in the city to defend the city." Lu Zhongheng also said.

Zhu Han naturally knew it, and immediately nodded and said.

"You go and pass my order quickly, and send the strong men in the city to defend the city!"

As Zhu Han's order was executed in the city, the Yuan army outside the city quickly cleared all obstacles except for the state city and surrounded the state city.

Zhu Han arranged the defensive deployment and immediately returned to the palace.

"Come on, go and invite Lu Wendao's big and powerful family masters to you!" Zhu Han immediately ordered.

"Yes, my lord!"

Hu Yiba led the people and hurried away.

Not long after, Lu Wendao and a group of other powerful family heads in addition to the state were all invited to the mansion.

Lu Wendao and the others didn't know what was going on, they just knew that martial law was imposed in the city of Except Zhou.

"My lord, what's going on?"

"My lord, but there are thieves coming?"

"My lord, resist the thieves, we are willing to fund the military salary, grain and grass!"

Lu Wendao is a few old guys who are chicken thieves, and they immediately sound like they are knocking on the side.

Zhu Han didn't want to hide it.

He lay down on the Taishi's chair and said with a smile.

"You're right, it's true that there are thieves coming, but it's not ordinary thieves."

When Lu Wendao and other powerful family heads heard this, they all looked at each other.

He then asked, "My lord, I don't know which way the thieves are attacking?" ”

"The Tartar thief in the south of the Yangtze River, under the banner of the barbarian Hague, should be himself." Zhu Han said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wendao and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

The reputation of the barbarian Hague in the south of the Yangtze River has long been heard of.

Legend has it that in order to suppress the riots of the victims, the barbarian Hague once slaughtered the Han people in a half county town, which can be described as very brutal.

"My lord, what can I do about this?"

"This barbarian Hague, I don't know how many people have come?"

"Can you be sure that your lord will defend the city?"

Lu Wendao was so frightened that he was out of order.

They could have colluded to assassinate Zhongcheng Aru Ash, and now there is another barbarian Hague, and they don't know how to deal with it.

can only hope that Zhu Han will hold the city and try to ensure that the state is not lost.

Who knows, Zhu Han's subsequent words completely shattered their idea.

"To tell you the truth, the barbarian Hague has a lot of soldiers and horses, and in my preliminary opinion, there must be at least more than 100,000 people." Zhu Han said.

Bang Dang!

With a loud sound, a fat and powerful family owner was paralyzed with fright, and slipped off the chair and fell to the ground.

Everyone didn't have time to care about it, and they all screamed miserably.

"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand!"

"100,000 troops!"

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are guarding the city?"

These powerful family heads are asking questions again.

"I only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus the strong men in the city, there are almost more than 10,000 people, and it should be enough to defend the city, but there is still a lack of grain, grass and silver, and I still need your help." Zhu Han said.

When Lu Wendao and the others heard this, they immediately thought about it quickly.

"What the lord said is very much, we are willing to help, so I will go back and arrange for someone to prepare grain, grass and money, and send it to the government for the lord!" Lu Wendao got up and said.

Immediately, as soon as he gave up his hand, he was about to say goodbye.

The rest of the Haoqiang family heads are also doing the same, and they can't wait to go home immediately.

Zhu Han smiled coldly, "Wait, who let you go!" ”

Look!

With the sound of the sword unsheathed, Chen Baodao led his own soldiers to block the gate.

Lu Wendao and the others were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Han got up and said loudly.

"Don't think I don't know how the Tartar Aru Ash died, I was outside the city at the time, can I still fly in and assassinate him?"

When Lu Wendao and the others heard this, they were all terrified.

Their hearts were all seen through by Zhu Han.

Lu Wendao and other powerful family heads secretly said in their hearts: This Marshal Xiao Zhu is really not simple, if he wants to get out, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Seeing this, Zhu Han smiled coldly.

What these heroes are best at is stabbing in the back, betraying and betraying.

I summoned them to come in order to control them under house arrest and prevent them from colluding with each other.

"How much grain and grass I want, I will send someone to ask you to write letters, write as much as you want, before the Tartars withdraw from the army, no one is allowed to leave the government for half a step, who dares to disobey the order, leave the punishment of collaborating with the enemy, and exterminate the family!" Zhu Han said coldly.

Lu Wendao and the others hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, and they all said that they wholeheartedly supported the Red Turban Army and would never dare to have half a half-heartedness.

For these nonsense, Zhu Han naturally didn't even believe a word.

At this time.

Suddenly, Lu Zhongheng sent someone to report in person.

"Lord Qiqi, the Tartars sent people to shout under the city, saying that they want to negotiate."

Zhu Han frowned, "Negotiation, what to talk about?" ”

"The man refused to speak, so he had to ask the adult to come forward."

Zhu Han didn't know what kind of medicine these Tartars were selling.

Lu Wendao and other powerful family heads next to him seemed to see hope.

"My lord, why don't you go and have a look."

"Yes, my lord, if the Tartars are willing to withdraw from the army, how much gold, silver, grain and grass do they want, and we are willing to help!"

"I just want to get rid of the state creatures, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!"

The hundred-year accumulation of these powerful family heads is all in the city of Except Zhou, so naturally they don't want a big war to break out.

What's more, in this battle with a huge disparity in strength, there is no hope of holding on to victory at all.

Once the city is breached, the Yuan army outside will pour into the city of Jiezhou, and they will definitely burn and loot on a large scale, and maybe slaughter the city!

As long as the Tartars are willing to withdraw from the army, it is acceptable to spend money to eliminate disasters.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what these Tartars have up their sleeves."

Zhu Han sneered, and then ordered someone to escort Lu Wendao and the others to the city wall, and they escaped in the mansion again.

By the time they reached the city wall, the Yuan army outside the city had already started a battle formation.

Whirring flags stretched out of the city, surrounded on all sides like iron buckets.

When Lu Wendao and the other heroes saw the scene in front of them, they were all so frightened that their calves and stomachs trembled, and many people even held on to the city wall to not fall to their knees.

One by one, they muttered something about it.

"It's over, it's really an army of more than 100,000!"

"The city of Except for the state is over!"

"The Tartar is fierce, and the number of great vitality is not exhausted."

For these people to whisper incompetently, Zhu Han didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.

When Zhu Han appeared, he saw a general holding high a white flag under the banner of the Yuan Army in the distance.

I saw him take the lead and come down to the city of Jiezhou.

"My lord, it's Han Cunhou's bird!" Hu Yiba immediately recognized it.

Zhu Han took a look, and sure enough, it was Han Cunhou, the general of Dingyuan, and now it seems that the loss of Liuhe City was caused by Han Cunhou's betrayal.

"Deputy marshal, you still know the last general!" Han Cunhou shouted loudly under the city.

"Dog thief, if you have something to say, let it go!"

Zhu Han shouted angrily.

Han Cunhou was a villain and shouted loudly.

"Dayuan Zuo Cheng, lead 200,000 troops to the city, as long as you sacrifice the city, Lord Zuo Cheng is willing to let you go, but you are not allowed to burn the grain and grass warehouse! As long as the deputy marshal agrees to dedicate the city, any conditions can be negotiated! ”

Han Cunhou shouted loudly.

Only then did Zhu Han understand that the reason why these soldiers wanted to negotiate was also because of the grain and grass savings and strategic location of the state.

Once the state is destroyed by the military disaster, it will be difficult for the Yuan army to gain a foothold here.

So the barbarian Hague came up with this trick, first using the army to press the territory to create a sense of oppression, anyway, the spies reported that the Red Turban Army was only a few thousand, which would definitely be able to scare them.

Then, throw out the so-called negotiations, put a way out of the trick, wait until the Red Turban Army leaves the city of Zhuzhou, and leave to send cavalry to follow and kill.

No matter how you choose, it's a dangerous choice.

Zhu Han scoffed at what kind of negotiations.

But Lu Wendao and other heroes beside him were all cheering one by one.

They persuaded Zhu Han to agree to this negotiation condition.

Even, when Zhu Han saw many soldiers of the rebel army, they all showed frightened expressions, and their eyes also revealed the meaning of wanting to compromise.

"This is negotiation? Do you think we can talk? Zhu Han turned his head and asked.

When Lu Wendao and the others saw it, they were all surprised, and they nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.

"You can talk, you can talk!"

"Negotiate it!"

"My lord, the negotiation is good!"

Of course, Lu Wendao and the others hope to negotiate, no matter how they talk and what conditions are negotiated, except for the state city, they will not encounter war, and they will be able to save their family wealth and lives.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, "Since everyone is willing to talk, then I will talk to the Tartars, but Han Cunhou is really a dog thief, it is not worth talking about, and the Tartars must be replaced by someone." ”

Subsequently, Zhu Han lay on the city wall and scolded Han Cunhou, and Han Cunhou, who scolded directly, was drenched in blood, and he was in a trance.

In short, if the Yuan army wants to negotiate, it is to send a big man to come forward, otherwise there is no need to talk!

Han Cunhou ran back to the Yuan army in embarrassment and saw the Yuan army's main general, The Barbarian Hague.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the importance of the location of grain and grass in the city of Except Zhou, Ben Shuai would definitely slaughter the city!" The barbarian Hague said arrogantly.

"Father, the thieves will fall for the scheme, wait for them to sacrifice the city and leave, and then kill them without leaving a piece of armor." A fat-headed and big-eared Meng Yuan general said.

This man was very young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was the son of the barbarian Hague.

"Since you are willing to negotiate, it is up to you to negotiate, no matter what the conditions, you can agree, as long as you get rid of the state city, you will hunt them down." The barbarian Hague said.

"Obey the father!"

Subsequently, the joy is to ride out of the horse.

Under the guidance of Han Cunhou, he came to a place fifty steps away from the state city.

The general crossbow in this position is difficult to shoot, and there are no large bed crossbows on the city walls except for the state, so it can be said to be very safe.

"Vice Marshal Zhu, this is Lord Zuo Cheng's son, you can negotiate!" Han Cunhou shouted loudly.

Zhu Han looked down from the city wall.

I saw a Tartar general wearing gold and silver decorated armor beside him, and at first glance, his status was very high.

"My lord, the Tartars have sent a big official, you can negotiate!"

Lu Wendao hurriedly said beside him.

The rest except for Zhou Haoqiang also stared at Zhu Han with expectations on their faces.

They all hoped to send away Zhu Han and these red turban thieves as soon as possible, so as not to provoke the slaughter of the city in Jiezhou City.

Zhu Han saw that the Tartar general outside the city was really high, so he nodded, and said solemnly to Lu Wendao and other celebrities in addition to the state.

"In that case, I'll go negotiate and try."

Lu Wendao and other celebrities in addition to the state were all smiling, as if they saw the hope of perfectly resolving a big war.

"Adults work hard, and we will definitely be able to negotiate successfully!"

Lu Wendao led the way.

The rest of the celebrities, except for the state, are also echoed.

Zhu Han smiled slightly and did not speak.

He turned and walked backwards, and came to a stomping arrow.

There was a twelve-pounder gun there.

The angle had just been adjusted, and the muzzle of the cannon was directed at the general of the Yuan Army outside.

Fifty paces is just the perfect killing distance for a twelve-pounder gun.

Lu Wendao and the others were all stunned when they saw Zhu Han walking next to an artillery, they didn't know what Zhu Han was going to do.

Zhu Han picked up a torch and lit it at the cannon fire gate.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang.

Hundreds of artillery pieces shot out, and Tuohuan and Han Cunhou, who were fifty paces away, along with their horses, fell to the ground in an instant, gushing blood.

Zhu Han threw down the torch, strode in front of Lu Wendao and other celebrities in the state, spread his hands helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It's a pity that the negotiations broke down!"

The rebel generals Han Cunhou and the Yuan generals were beaten into a sieve by the artillery of the rebel army, and the commander of the Yuan army, the barbarian Hague, couldn't believe his eyes.

"Fun!"

The barbarian Hague only felt a breath of anger rushing to his head, and he felt dizzy.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

"Lord Zuo Cheng!"

The barbarian Hague fell off his horse with a pop, and the surrounding Yuan generals came up to support him.

Fortunately, the barbarian Hague was as strong as an ox, and he was not injured when he fell from his horse.

It's just that the anger in his heart can't be discharged, but it suffocates him.

"My dejoy, my son's dehuania!"

The barbarian Hague said fiercely.

"Come on, give me artillery to attack the city, and send someone to snatch it back!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The surrounding generals of the Yuan army immediately took action.

The movement of the Yuan army was immediately seen by Zhu Han at the head of the city.

This is exactly what he wants.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, and said to Lu Wendao and the other gentry in the state.

"Everyone has also seen that the negotiations broke down just now, and the Yuan army is already planning to fight hard, so let's prepare for the battle."

Lu Wendao and the others want to cry without tears.

"My lord, it was too reckless just now, this is leaving tens of thousands of people in the state with no way to live." A gentleman in addition to the state said sadly.

Hearing this, Zhu Han was immediately unhappy.

"The Tartars are ferocious, inhumane, and a few animals, so will you survive by negotiating with them? Our righteous army is doing the right thing for heaven and exterminating the tyrants, but not only do you not support it, but you frame us for not giving us a way to live? ”

The more Zhu Han spoke, the angrier he became.

These states are strong and strong, and their blind tolerance for them makes them think that they are weak and can be bullied.

It seems that if you don't stand up for prestige, you can't do it.

I saw Zhu Han's face gloomy, and he pointed at the gentleman of the state and said.

"Chen Baodao!"

"My lord, my subordinates are here!" Chen Baodao immediately replied loudly.

"I see that this person is causing trouble to the army and slandering the righteous army, he must be a spy of the Tartars, so I will be arrested and interrogated immediately, and then I will go to his house to search for evidence of collaborating with the enemy!" Zhu Han said.

"Yes, my lord!" Chen Baodao agreed without hesitation, he used to serve in the Yuan army, and he was ordered to raid the house, but he did not do less.

The gentleman was suddenly frightened, and sat on the ground with his legs limp.

"My lord, I have been wronged! I'm not a spy of the Tartars! ”

"Hmph, I don't think you were wronged just now, when I find the evidence, I will immediately convict you and behead you!"

Zhu Han didn't care whether he lived or died.

These gentry except for the state are all grass on the wall, and now that the army outside the city is pressing, if you don't give them some powerful looks, maybe you can do something to collaborate with the enemy.

When Lu Wendao and the others saw this, they were all shocked in their hearts.

At a young age, Zhu Han not only acted decisively, killed the envoy of the Yuan army with one shot and severed the peace talks, but now he has to kill chickens and monkeys, and he does not show any mercy.

These gentry are strong and strong, and what they are most afraid of on weekdays is this kind of ruthless person who kills decisively.

All of a sudden, Chen Baodao led people to arrest the gentry and threw him into prison for torture.

Except for Lu Wendao and the other gentry, none of them dared to speak out to intercede for him.

When Zhu Han looked at them again, Lu Wendao and the others were all looking at them evasively, shrinking their bodies, looking extremely scared.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you help me defend the city with all your heart, and when I repel the Tartars, I will definitely give you a reward!" Zhu Han said loudly.

"The villain will do his best to help the adults repel the Tartars!" Lu Wendao hurriedly spoke in support.

"Yes, I'll do our best, and I'm also helping adults!"

"Vice Marshal Zhu, rest assured, we are of one heart and one mind with the righteous army!"

These powerful people in addition to the state were completely shocked by Zhu Han, and they no longer dared to talk nonsense, and expressed their support one after another.

"Haha, you are all righteous men who resist the Yuan, then hurry up and prepare grain, grass and baggage to help our army defend the city!" Zhu Han said.

When Lu Wendao and the others heard this, they immediately called the servants who had followed them on the spot, asking them to go home and prepare more grain, grass and baggage, and send them to the city for the righteous army.

At this time.

The Yuan army outside the city had already mobilized artillery.

Dozens of large and small artillery pieces were all pointed at the head of the city.

In addition to the state defenders and young people, there was another burst of shock.

The number of artillery pieces of the Yuan army is much more than theirs, and the righteous army is only ten cannons.

"Hmph, don't be afraid, Hu Yiba aimed at me and hit me hard!" Zhu Han gave an order.

The artillery of the Yuan army outside the city was very close.

It shows that their range is not long enough, and all of them can be covered by the artillery of the rebels.

Although the caliber of the artillery made by Zhu Han is smaller, its accuracy and firing range are far above that of the Yuan army.

"Yes, my lord!" Hu Yiba immediately took the order excitedly.

The artillery of the rebels was not only accurate and long-range, but also lighter, and could move around the city under the traction of artillery carts.

The Yuan artillery outside the city has not yet set up a gun position, and the rebel artillery at the head of the city is ready to fire.

Hu Yiba ran over and said.

"Your Excellency, the artillery is ready!"

Zhu Han smiled slightly, "Let's light the fire." ”

Boom!

Rumble!

At this time, the commander of the Mongolian army outside the city, the barbarian Hague, was full of confidence in the Yuan army that was arranging artillery.

"The artillery mobilized by Ben Shuai this time is the essence of all the heavy artillery in Jiangnan, this time to conquer the state, he will definitely slaughter the city, and take revenge on my son!"

Tuhuan's body had been snatched back by the desperate charge of the elite Mongol cavalry.

When the other generals of the Yuan army heard the words of the barbarian Hague, they all expressed their approval.

Suddenly.

The sound of cannons above the city interrupted these people's speech.

The barbarians The Hague and others were shocked.

However, before they could react, they saw several white smoke flying over the head of the city.

Bang!

A loud bang rang out on the artillery positions of the Yuan army.

Yes!

Yes!

A scream spread immediately.

A piece of artillery of more than 1,000 catties of the Yuan army was smashed over on the spot, and several Yuan gunners had no time to dodge, and they were smashed into a lake of flesh and blood.

There was a sudden shock on the Yuan army's position.

"What's going on!"

The barbarian Hague couldn't believe his eyes.

After a few shots, seven or eight pieces of artillery were smashed by the rebels.

"That's too accurate!"

The cavalry of the Yuan army just charged fatally and snatched back the body of Tuhuan, and they were preparing to come with a salvo of 10,000 cannons to give the rebels in the state a little color.

But he never thought that the rebels would strike first.

"My lord, it must be the luck of the thief!"

A general of the Yuan army said next to him.

"That's right, my lord, as long as we speed up a little faster, we will definitely be able to make the thief army powerless."

The rest of the generals of the Yuan army also said one after another.

The artillery they brought this time was a collection of almost all the elite artillery of the Jiangnan Yuan Army.

Once they start to launch, it is impossible for the small city of Jiezhou to resist, as long as the city wall of Jiezhou is broken, nearly 100,000 Yuan troops will pour in and kill them.

"Pass my command, speed up the fire!" The barbarian Hague shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

With a burst of orders, the artillery of the Yuan army, which had just suffered a round of shelling, began to do their best to arrange the artillery and prepare for fire.

On the head of the city, the accurate hit just now immediately caused the defenders to cheer heartily.

Even Lu Wendao and other powerful gentry in addition to the state also cheered, revealing a happy atmosphere.

At this time, Lu Wendao and the others already understood their situation.

Zhu Han, the deputy marshal, is a butcher who kills people without blinking, as long as the city cannot be defended, Lu Wendao and the others may not need to be slaughtered by the Mongols, and they will also die in the hands of Zhu Han.

So they sincerely hope that the rebels will win.

"Your Excellency is invincible!"

"The rebels have to have God's help, and the Tartars are vulnerable!"

"Haha, if your lordship commands the law, the Tartars will be defeated in this battle!"

These gentry and magnates in addition to the state were excited one by one, and they didn't know whether to praise them sincerely, or to use this to cheer themselves up.

Zhu Han didn't bother to pay attention to them.

He just told them: "Since you want our army to break through the Tartars, then hurry up and prepare more grain, grass and silver to help the war, and wait until the future to reward you for meritorious deeds." ”

When Lu Wendao and others heard this, they immediately expressed their willingness to give another 30% of the grain, grass and silver.

Zhu Han asked Lu Zhongheng and Chen Baodao to take people to go door to door and ask for it again.

He was next to Hu Yiba, and continued to prepare to fire.

The artillery of the rebels used advanced wide artillery carriages, which could be quickly reset for firing.

"My lord, the Tartars are preparing to fire." Hu Yiba pointed forward with his hand.

I saw that the gunners of the Yuan army there did not care about the wounded soldiers around them at all, and began to adjust the arrangement of artillery.

At this time.

The artillery of the rebels was again ready for fire.

"Since they don't know the danger yet, let's remind them again." Zhu Han said disdainfully.

"Yes!" Hu Yiba responded excitedly.

Boom Boom!

Rumble!

There was another roar of artillery, and the five or six artillery pieces of the Yuan army that had just been ready to fire were knocked to the ground by the twelve-pounder cannons of the righteous army.

This time it was not only the artillery losses that were lost, but a shell repeatedly bounced on the hard ground, forming a ricochet, burrowing into the infantry array in the rear, cutting off the bodies of seven or eight Yuan infantry before stopping.

The tragic casualties immediately caused a riot.

The face of the Yuan army commander Barbarian Hague was already blue with anger.

His heart was shocked and angry, except for the artillery of the rebel army at the head of the city, and the artillery in his hand, it was simply two different things.

The artillery of the rebel army has already fired two rounds, and the artillery of the Yuan army has not fired even a single shot so far.

"Someone, pass on my order, if the thieves fire again, our gunners have not fired, and all the artillery teams with more than 100 households will be beheaded!" The barbarian Hague ordered angrily.

Anyway, these officers and gunners who manipulated the artillery were all Han people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Mongols killed them when they said they would.

Sure enough, as soon as this order was given, those artillery officers of the Yuan Army were all panicked.

I don't care about the amount of gunpowder, and I don't care about the accuracy, it's all about speed.

Boom!

Rumble!

Immediately afterward, there was another roar of artillery.

It's just that these cannons were not fired by the Zhou Yi Army, but by the Yuan Army.

Clouds of white smoke rose from outside the city, and the defenders at the head of the city ducked to hide.

However, after a roar of artillery, the city wall was only smashed out of a few white spots, and there was not even the slightest dent.

"Hmph, these Yuan soldiers are in a hurry, and they dare to come out and be embarrassed with such a little power."

Zhu Han glanced at it and sneered.

"My lord, my subordinates are already panicked when they see that the Yuan army is in array, and if they come twice again, there will definitely be chaos." Hu Yiba said.

"Haha, okay, Hu Yiba, if you can command the gunners and destroy ten Yuan army artillery, I will give you credit and promote you to the commander of the engineer team." Zhu Han said loudly.

As soon as he heard this, Hu Yiba, the tomb robber, suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart.

"Don't worry, my lord, the last general will definitely complete the military order!"

Hu Yiba, these tomb robbers, are really born seedlings of the engineer team, most of them are coarse in writing, and they can also locate the distance, Zhu Han gave a little guidance, and their artillery level is to advance by leaps and bounds.

"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"

In the current rebel army, there are no more than 20 generals who can be ranked among the commanders of thousands of households, and Zhu Han's military promotion can be said to make Hu Yiba's blood surging.

"Damn, if I Hu Yiba becomes the commander of a thousand households, then in the entire righteous army, except for Zhu Dashuai and Deputy Marshal, Xu Da, Zhou Dexing and others, I can be regarded as a big official, and I will be developed by then, except for Yang Xueli, the eldest lady of the Yang family in Dongcheng, I Hu Yiba is married!"

Hu Yiba was thinking about military exploits and being promoted to marry a wife in his heart, but his movements were not at all.

Several artillery pieces of the rebels were soon calibrated and aimed again.

"Put!"

With an order, the roar of artillery sounded again in the city of Jiezhou.

There was a riot in the array of the Yuan army!

As soon as many gunners saw white smoke spewing out of the city, they immediately lay on the ground and did not dare to move, or dodged to the sides to avoid the position of the artillery to prevent suffering.

After two rounds of artillery, eleven more Yuan artillery pieces were destroyed, and more than 20 people were killed.
