Chapter 126: Musketeers! Han Lin'er died in battle [ask for follow-up]

As for the position of the chief logistics officer of the new army, in fact, it is not something that ordinary people can sit up.

"The logistics supply of the new army must be completed in accordance with the standards I have set no matter what, and I ask Mr. Li not to make any mistakes."

As Zhu Han spoke, he handed the logistics system of the New Army that he had formulated to Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang took it and looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but say before he even finished reading it: "Deputy Marshal, this new army's logistics is implemented like this, but it is too extravagant!" ”

"Mr. Li, you might as well speak up." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Deputy Marshal, your new army logistics is a big deal, I have never seen such a high configuration, just the military rations, enough to need 100,000 taels of silver! And there are more than 100,000 taels of meat and vegetables in it, oh, and there are emergency rations for each soldier, etc., which is simply better than the food of our Wu Wangfu guards! Isn't it too much for such a high supply! ”

Li Shanchang couldn't help but sigh.

"This is formulated for the purpose of training the new army, and the combat effectiveness of the new army will be the standard of the Wu Wangfu guards in the future!" Zhu Han said,

For the supply of the new army, Zhu Han formulated strict standards, each soldier can get one and a half catties of staple food, about half a catty of vegetables and meat, and even one or two candied rice crackers every day, which simply opened Li Shanchang's eyes, a group of rough men who are soldiers can eat so well every day, and ordinary landlords and old wealth are not so generous to eat and drink!

"Deputy marshal, even if that's the case, it's too much, in my opinion, even if it's cut in half, it's still very rich, for example, changing the meat dish to one meal every three days, it's also good." Li Shanchang was in charge of the logistics of the Red Turban Army, so he naturally knew what standard ordinary Red Turban Army soldiers ate.

An ordinary soldier of the Red Turban Army can eat all-you-can-eat food basically every day, but all the fish, meat and meat are all improved meals every three days, and if it is according to the standard of auxiliary soldiers, it will take five or six days to have a meat meal.

"No, sir, you may not know, my new army has to practice every day, and it can't hold up without meat." Zhu Han shook his head and said.

"What? Deputy marshal, you said that the new army should practice every day? Li Shanchang was taken aback again.

There are ordinary military drills every 10 days, drills every 5 days are the general situation, and drills every 3 days are considered elite.

Zhu Han is good, and he directly did a daily exercise, which is definitely unheard of by Li Shanchang.

"That's right, it's a daily practice!" Zhu Han repeated with a smile.

"Deputy Marshal, practice every day, what a powerful formation is this?" Li Shanchang couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Han shook his head, "Actually, there is no such powerful formation, in order to train their temperament and turn them into soldiers who unconditionally carry out military orders on the battlefield!" ”

The high-intensity training of soldiers naturally requires some special means, and it will inevitably have higher requirements for the physique of these soldiers.

Although Li Shanchang felt that this way might not be too good, he didn't dare to refute it.

"Deputy marshal, can such a new army be able to form a fighting force within a year?" Li Shanchang couldn't help but ask.

When Zhu Han heard Li Shanchang's question, he couldn't help but smile and said, "A year? That's too long, I can't hide it, according to my method, it only takes three months, and it's enough to train to be strong all the time! ”

"What? Is what the lieutenant said true? Li Shanchang was shocked again.

"Naturally it's true, how could I lie to Mr. Li?" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"That's great, lieutenant marshal, if the new army can reach this level, it will be great!" Li Shanchang said as he recorded it on a piece of paper.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to you, no matter what, you have to meet the military needs." Zhu Han said.

"Yes, the lower official will go back and sort out a detailed charter and report it to the deputy marshal." Li Shanchang said.

Zhu Han nodded, said a few more words, and then let Li Shanchang leave.

Not long after, Zhu Han was very satisfied with the plan for the logistics supply of the new army written down by Li Shanchang, so he was not worried at all.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and now that the grain and grass problem has been solved, the next step is naturally the problem of training.

"Chang Yuchun, you all train the new army with peace of mind, and strive to train these new troops into the elite in the shortest possible time!" Zhu Han commanded.

When Chang Yuchun and the others heard this, they hurriedly agreed.

In fact, Chang Yuchun and they also want to see how strong the newly formed new army is, if it can really achieve the effect that Zhu Han said, it will be against the sky.

Zhu Han's new army was basically based on the military reform of Gustav II of Sweden, and the 15,000-strong new army was basically based on battalions and brigades, with more than 400 people in each battalion, of which one-third were spearmen, and the rest were basically musketeers, equipped with a small number of elite skirmishers with swords and shields.

The spearmen and musketeers of the new army are also all improved by Zhu Han, among which the spears of the spearmen have been shortened from the original common one zhang and eight feet to one zhang and two feet, and have better flexibility, and the muskets of the musketeers are all using the newly improved muskets of the Jinling Weapons Workshop, which have changed from the original bulky guys of nearly twenty catties to less than ten catties of light muskets, and the brackets when firing are completely thrown away.

Zhu Han's new army is a more advanced Gustavus phalanx than the Spanish phalanx, which is very suitable for the rapid training of recruits.

Of course, Zhu Han also has his own unique advantages, that is, Chang Yuchun and other generals who are good at cavalry, and the coordination of cavalry and infantry is not difficult at all.

Zhu Han's new army was basically born for field warfare, and the artillery was also greatly improved, and the original weight of seven or eight hundred catties of artillery has now been modified to about three hundred catties, and this weight has no impact on ordinary infantry at all.

In addition to Chang Yuchun's shock cavalry, Zhu Han also set up a regiment of about 500 muskets, all of which used new muskets to rush to the enemy's formation on horseback to fire, and the fierce muskets could shatter all armor and shields.

This method of fighting of the musketeers is to hit and run, run far and reload the muskets, and then repeat the original attack method.

Zhu Han's musketeer had already been invented, but the previous musket was too heavy and had not been suitable for riders.

"Zhang Dingbian!"

"Qi Xiang!"

"The two of you will be the commanders of the left and right battalions of the Musketeer Regiment in the future!"

In the school yard outside Jinling City, Zhu Han was inspecting the newly formed New Army Musketeer Cavalry Regiment.

In front of 500 musketeers, Zhu Han appointed the commanders of the left and right battalions of the cavalry regiment, namely Zhang Dingbian, who he had met in Suzhou before.

The tactical tactics of this musketeer cavalry are a bit novel and alternative, Chang Yuchun and other generals don't like such obscene tactics, and they are unwilling to be the general of the musketeer cavalry regiment, so Zhu Han chose Zhang Dingbian, a person with not deep qualifications.

As for Qi Xiang, when the Longxing Army gathered in Haozhou, he had already joined the Red Turban Army as a homeless person, and he belonged to a group of people with very old qualifications, but Qi Xiang's own qualifications were limited, and he did not have too many dazzling achievements, he belonged to a group of loyal soldiers who worked hard and complained, and he had no talent in commanding the old-style army, so Zhu Han arranged Qi Xiang to serve in the Musket Cavalry Regiment.

Of course, there is another important reason why Zhu Han chose Qi Xiang, that is, Qi Xiang is unknown in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but among his descendants, there is a glorious generation of famous generals, and he can be half of Zhu Han's master.

Qi Xiang's descendant is Qi Jiguang!

As Qi Jiguang's ancestor, Qi Xiang's talent may not be high, but Zhu Han has no doubts about his loyalty and courage.

Hearing Zhu Han's appointment, Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang hurriedly responded with a military salute.

"Yes, lieutenant!"

The two of them performed the military salute of the new army, and they did not need to kneel, but raised their arms in front of their chests, which is also a kind of ancient Chinese military salute.

"The horses of the Musketeer Regiment have all been transported?" While inspecting, Zhu Han asked Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang.

"Back to the deputy marshal, 1,500 horses have been transported from Tamna Island, and the last general has already selected 500 of them!" Qi Xiang opened his mouth and said.

He was originally a member of the cavalry of the Red Turban Army, and he belonged to a person who knew horses.

"Five hundred? Too little, how can that? Zhu Han shook his head.

"Huh? What does that mean? Qi Xiang was a little surprised and couldn't believe it.

How expensive the horses are now, especially the kind of fine war horses on Tamna Island, all of which can be bought in Jiangnan for dozens of taels of silver each!

"One person and two horses, now the number of cavalry regiments is small, and it is easy to feed a thousand military horses." Zhu Han said with a smile, "Moreover, the musketeers need to use muskets to attack, as long as they are loaded with gunpowder, they don't need much strength at all, and they don't consume physical strength like shooting bows and arrows, as long as the horses have physical strength, the musketeers can attack without limits!" ”

The innate physical fitness that does not require physical strength is also a focus of Zhu Han's desire to vigorously develop musket cavalry.

Ordinary bows and arrows, if you want to have the lethality of armor piercing, either risk the danger to approach the enemy to shoot arrows, or choose a stronger bow with greater strength, no matter what, opening the bow and archery is an extremely physically demanding way, just like ordinary people playing with arm power sticks, a fifty pound arm strength stick, playing a few more times can make ordinary people exhausted, not to mention that the power of the war bow is far greater than the arm strength stick of fifty pounds.

The musketeers, dressed in the latest wide-brimmed helmets and cuirasses, protected vital body parts, and their muskets were capable of piercing any armor at a distance of twenty paces, making them an excellent killing machine.

"Our musketeer regiment, the principle of future operations is that the Marshall people will not stop, so we need to prepare more horses!" Zhu Han finally said.

"Obey, deputy marshal, the last general will go and prepare!" Qi Xiang hurriedly said.

"Deputy marshal, the sergeants in the regiment have been training for ten days, I don't know when they can get on the horse?" Zhang Dingbian on the side hurriedly asked.

The Musketeer Regiment was formed for about ten days, and according to Zhu Han's order, everyone did not train anything, but stood on the school field to train military postures.

The base of the Musketeer Regiment belongs to an independent area, and the other bases of the New Army are actually the same situation, all of them are training in military postures, but the soldiers of the Musketeers Regiment do not know about it, and they think that they have received unique treatment.

"After only ten days of practice, they can't stand it? If you want to practice horseback riding, then I'll have to see how you practice! Zhu Han smiled slightly.

The entire new army of more than 10,000 people is now in a boring queue of military posture training, this is the introductory Dafa of the modern army, and if this thing is not practiced well, then there will be no basis for the implementation of the harsh military law of the modern army.

"Rest assured, the brothers have practiced well!" When Zhang Dingbian heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

"Then you drill again, I'll review it myself!" Zhu Han said with a serious face.

"Yes, lieutenant!"

Zhang Dingbian gave a military salute, and immediately went to pull up the soldiers of his left battalion and began to line up, while the soldiers of the left battalion followed the commander of the left battalion and lined up in a neat line.

The soldiers of the left battalion are all new recruits, so the training time is not long, and now it seems that these recruits are quite good, although they are a little jerky, but the basic queue training has reached the standard of the general army.

"Vice-marshal, look, how standard their movements are!" Zhang Dingbian said to Zhu Han beside him.

Zhu Han looked at the marching queue and did not speak.

"Deputy Marshal, our right battalion is not bad!" Qi Xiang on the side said.

"Okay, let's take a look!"

"Listen up, listen to me!" Zhu Han walked to the review stand and shouted at the soldiers of the left battalion while waving the horse whip in his hand.

syllable

With a sound, Zhu Han's horsewhip struck the ground with a loud bang.

"Three teams become two teams!"

"The front team becomes the back team!"

"Turn left in column left, turn right column right in column, assemble!"

Zhu Han's series of orders were all complicated orders on the drill code, and after several combinations, the soldiers of the left battalion, who were originally in order, had already become a mess.

Zhang Dingbian next to him looked at his subordinate soldiers, and suddenly made a big red face, and secretly scolded his mother in his heart: It's over, it's over, Lao Tzu, the cavalryman, has to continue to walk on two legs again, alas!

"Stop!"

Zhu Han suddenly stopped the horsewhip and scolded.

Zhu Han scolded, and those soldiers immediately stopped as if they were frightened.

"Zhang Dingbian, Zuo Ying looks like this, what do you think should be done?" Zhu Han pointed with a horsewhip.

Zhang Dingbian blushed and said loudly: "Deputy marshal, the last general will practice with them!" ”

"Of course, you have to practice, you can't manage your two legs well, and you can't mess up your own position after riding a horse!" Zhu Han didn't blame him too much, he turned his head to look at Qi Xiang, the commander of the right battalion next to him, "Qi Xiang, how is your right battalion, do you want to drill like this?" ”

When Qi Xiang heard this, he shook his head again and again, he knew that the level of his right battalion was eight catties and eight taels with Zhang Dingbian's left battalion, if it was really according to Zhu Han's drill method just now, it would be a mess.

"Deputy marshal, no, no, the last general will also lead the right battalion to train together!" Qi Xiang hurriedly said.

Zhu Han nodded slightly, "Okay, give you three more days, you can't complete such a simple drill, then go to the back kitchen to be a man!" ”

"Yes, lieutenant!"

When Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang heard this, they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly jumped off the review platform and went to practice with their left and right battalions.

Looking at the soldiers' hot drills, Zhu Han was actually quite satisfied in his heart, in only ten days, the soldiers of the Musket Cavalry Regiment had basically completed the requirements of the drill for half a month, and it would definitely be completed in a few days.

"Hu Yiba, you go to the Quartermaster Division, send a thousand pieces of the newly arrived batch of canned meat to the Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, and reward them for their hard work!" Zhu Han said to Hu Yiba, the deputy general of the personal guard next to him.

"Deputy Marshal, the Quartermaster Department only has a total of 3,000 pieces of canned meat!" Hu Yiba whispered.

"Look at your picking, there will be canned meat in the future!" Zhu Han scolded with a smile.

Today's New Army Quartermaster Department, in accordance with Zhu Han's guidance, has made a batch of galvanized iron canned food boxes, which is the so-called tinplate canned food boxes.

With this galvanized iron sheet technology, it is equivalent to opening the door to military cans.

As long as you put meat and spices in the can, and then seal and steam, it can basically be left for three or five years without a problem, and even if you put it in more salt, it may not be bad for fifty or sixty years.

This batch of new canned meat was made, although Zhu Han felt that the taste was not good and there was a lot of room for improvement, but after the whole army tasted it, they all regarded this canned meat with oil and water, salt, and seasoning as a luxury in the army!

After only two distributions, the canned iron meat of the new army became the most sought-after hard currency in the army!

.......

Henan, Bianliang City.

The generals of the Yuan Dynasty, Chahan, Wang Baobao, Li Siqi and others gathered more than 200,000 troops, carried more than 20 newly cast heavy cannons, and surrounded Kaifeng City.

At this time, the Bianliang city wall has been scarred by the artillery bombardment of the Yuan army!

Under the supervision of Liu Futong and Han Lin'er, the Red Turban Army is resisting desperately.

Boom Boom!

Boom Boom!

There was another roar of artillery, and the artillery of the Yuan army shook a large area of the rammed earth on the Bianliang city wall!

"Shoot me and fight back!" Liu Futong stood on the city wall and commanded the artillery at the head of the city to counterattack, but unfortunately the range of the Yuan army's artillery far exceeded Liu Futong's estimate, and the Yuan army built strong fortifications on the artillery position, Liu Futong's artillery could not be killed at all, but the Kaifeng city wall was beaten to pieces by several rounds of artillery bombardment by the Yuan army!

The soldiers of the Red Turban Army at the head of the city were all trembling with fright, and they did not dare to act rashly.

"Prime Minister, what should we do, our artillery can't fight back at all, are we going to watch the Tartars collapse the city wall like this?" A general under his command asked eagerly.

Liu Futong's face was very embarrassed, he never thought that the Yuan army would build so many heavy artillery in such a short period of time!

If you give the Tartars a few more years, I'm afraid their artillery will be even more powerful!

He was convinced of this, because since the Yuan army crossed the Yellow River to attack, this kind of heavy artillery has been continuously transported to the battlefield, and it is clear that the Yuan Dynasty still has many skilled craftsmen in Dadu.

"Prime Minister, we can only wait for reinforcements now, only when reinforcements arrive, our crisis can be resolved!" A general comforted Liu Futong.

"Wait, hold on for another month, reinforcements will arrive!" Liu Futong gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Liu Futong firmly believed that during this time, all the Red Turban Army must have received the news and knew that the Yuan army was heading south, and soon after, reinforcements from all walks of life would definitely come one after another.

It's just that Liu Futong only guessed half right.

The Red Turban Army did know that the Yuan army was surrounded by heavy troops in Kaifeng, and they all sent reinforcements from King Qin, and they had all reached Henan, but none of the soldiers and horses came to the vicinity of Kaifeng.

They are all stopping and watching, because the Yuan army is really too strong this time!

The entire Mengyuan Imperial Court scavenged the financial resources and manpower of Dadu, Liaoyang, Shandong, Shanxi and other places, and fully supported Chahan, Wang Baobao and others to encircle Kaifeng this time!

No one has the courage to come to the rescue of Kaifeng alone!

Therefore, the generals of the righteous army from all walks of life are waiting, waiting for the Yuan army to make a mistake, or waiting for the Yuan army to hit its head in Bianliang and break the blood, and then rush up to relieve the siege, so as to reduce their responsibilities and avoid heavy losses!

As long as the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army suffer losses in Kaifeng, these reinforcements of the righteous army will definitely take advantage of the situation!

"Report!" Just as Liu Futong was restlessly waiting for reinforcements to come, his subordinates ran quickly and whispered a few words in Liu Futong's ear.

Liu Futong was stunned when he heard this, and then his face was completely gloomy!

"Send the order down, so that the brethren at the head of the city are ready to defend!" Liu Futong commanded.

"Yes!" The herald is gone!

Liu Futong took Han Lin'er and others to hurriedly go down the city wall, and after returning to the Bianliang Palace, Liu Futong said with a worried face.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Kaifeng really can't hold it!"

When Han Lin'er and the others heard this, they were immediately stunned.

Obviously, Liu Futong said just now that he wanted the soldiers to defend the city well, why can't he defend it now?

"Prime Minister, how do you say this?" Han Lin'er asked anxiously.

Guan Duo, Dong Da and others next to him also looked at Liu Futong with a worried face.

"Alas!"

Liu Futong sighed first, and then said.

"I just got a secret report from the outside that the Tartars are surveying the embankment of the Yellow River!

"Survey the embankment?"

Han Lin'er was confused.

As a young man, he didn't know what that meant.

However, the faces of Guan Duo, Dong Da and the others next to them were already pale!

"It's broken! Tartar is going to be prepared to flood and open it! Guan Duo said with fear and anger on his face, gritting his teeth.

"Dog Tartar, so vicious!" Dong Da also gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

The rest of the people were terrified and angry in the same way!

Once the Yuan army dug the embankment of the Yellow River, Kaifeng would definitely fall.

Moreover, not only Kaifeng, but even the entire Henan is probably going to suffer again.

At that time, even if Liu Futong and the others wanted to break through and escape, there was nowhere to escape.

Once the mighty Yellow River is raging, there will be a muddy swamp within a radius of thousands of miles, and no matter what kind of hero you are, you will be fed fish and turtles.

"Prime Minister, what should we do?" Han Lin'er was almost about to cry, and he now realized what it meant to dig up the Yellow River embankment.

"Your Majesty, don't panic, the Tartars won't dig the Yellow River embankment yet, and now the water level is not enough, at least two or three months later, it will be summer!" Liu Futong comforted.

"Great, doesn't that mean that we have enough time, as long as reinforcements from all walks of life come, Kaifeng will be saved!" Han Lin'er seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, in order to repel the Tartars, please also ask Your Majesty to personally supervise the battle and boost morale!"

Subsequently, Liu Futong persuaded Han Lin'er to go to the city wall to personally encourage the Red Turban Army to fight, because Liu Futong planned to lead the generals out of the city to counterattack!

"Prime Minister rest assured, from today onwards, I will kill the enemy with the soldiers!" Han Lin'er did not flinch at the critical moment, and directly agreed to Liu Futong's proposal.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers will definitely fight to protect them and kill the Tartars!" Liu Futong said with some emotion, although his eldest nephew emperor is young, his courage is not bad, as long as he cultivates more, I am afraid that he is no worse than Zhu Han's ability!

The grain and grass in Kaifeng City are abundant, enough for the whole army to eat for at least half a year, and now Liu Futong is in a hurry to repel the Yuan army, so he simply began to reward the whole army and boost the morale of the soldiers.

The Red Turban Army, whose morale was high, immediately changed its hold to a counteroffensive, and frequently used the cover of night to launch surprise attacks on the Yuan army outside the city!

And in the daytime, the offensive of the Red Turban Army was still unabated, under the leadership of Liu Futong and others, the Red Turban Army attacked from the east and west sides at the same time, with less than 60,000 troops, against the 200,000 troops of the Yuan Army!

Boom!

Boom Boom!

Bursts of artillery rang out inside and outside Kaifeng City, and the Yuan army and the Red Turban Army fell into a fight again.

Liu Futong personally led the elite of the Red Turban Army out of the city to line up and attack the Yuan army on the east side of Kaifeng City, trying to defeat the Yuan army's camp and open a gap in the encirclement, so as to give the peripheral reinforcements a confidence to march!

The camp of the Yuan army is also very tight, and it will change guards every two hours.

Therefore, the resistance of the Yuan army was not small.

Liu Futong led the army, on the front of the Yuan army on the east side of Kaifeng City, and kept charging, trying to chisel through the Yuan army camp and open a gap!

The officers and soldiers of the Red Turban Army kept launching offensives, but they couldn't help the Yuan Army!

The defense line of the Yuan army is as impenetrable as an iron bucket, and it can't open a gap at all!

Another failed charge, the Red Turbans were killed and wounded, although they killed and wounded more Yuan soldiers, but still did not break through the Yuan army's encirclement.

"Prime Minister, let's let the soldiers evacuate! We can't fight this battle! ”

The general Dong Da looked worried!

Fall back?

Of course, you can't retreat!

"Withdraw? Where to retreat, behind you is Kaifeng City, and if you retreat, you will die! If you don't repel the Tartars, you will die early and late! Liu Futong was annoyed in his heart, and immediately ordered the drums of war to be beaten again, and a new round of attack began.

This time, Liu Futong was wearing armor and stomach, holding a long knife, and rushed forward with the soldiers to kill!

The main general of the Yuan army on this road is Wang Baobao, and the fierce counterattack of the Red Turban Army also made Wang Baobao almost unbearable, and now seeing the Red Turban Army that had just failed to attack made a comeback like a madman, Wang Baobao was shocked in his heart!

The soldiers of the Yuan Army under Wang Baobao were also all in a hurry, and it was the first time they had encountered such a deadly tactic.

"Beat the drums!"

"Herald, those who take half a step back, kill!"

Wang Baobao's heart was also fierce, and he risked the loss of the arrow shot in front of him, and personally came to the pro-army to escort the battle and supervise the battle.

Woooooo

With the sound of three horns, the Red Turban Army on the opposite side launched a new round of charge!

"Rush up and cut off the heads of these brutes!"

Seeing this, Liu Futong shouted!

"Yes!"

Then, I saw dozens of Red Turban Army generals draw out the long knives on their waists in unison, and then jump up, holding the long knives and killing the Tartars in front of them.

"Kill!"

Liu Futong also raised his knife to meet him!

"Kill!"

"Rush, fight to the death with the Tartars!"

The two sides were immediately in the wilderness outside the city gate, and they fell into a scuffle!

It's a fierce battle, and both sides are desperate to win!

In the process of the melee, the soldiers on both sides trampled on each other and died one after another!

For a while, the bloody atmosphere overflowed!

Liu Futong led his soldiers on the city wall, brandishing swords while shouting to kill the Tartars in front!

And the Tartars on the opposite side were the same, they were also rushing forward to kill, waving weapons at the same time, and launched a counter-charge against Liu Futong and others!

"Rush! Rush! Rush! ”

"Rush!"

For a while, the sound of fighting shook the sky, the shouting of killing was deafening, and a thick bloody breath filled the air!

The fighting between the two sides became more and more intense, and the blood also splashed into the air, dripping on the ground under their feet, forming a stream!

This chaotic fight, under the command of Liu Futong, lasted until late at night before it stopped!

This melee also paid a great price, and the soldiers under Liu Futong's command lost at least more than 2,000 people!

However, the Red Turban Army did not kill the Yuan Army!

In the next few days, the Yuan army and the Red Turban Army continued to fight fiercely, and both sides lost their troops!

And after a few days of fighting, Liu Futong was seriously injured, but this battle made Liu Futong completely recognize one thing!

This army under his command is indeed difficult to repel the opponent!

If it is tough, the 50,000 horses in his hands will not be able to compete with the 200,000 people of the Yuan army, let alone repel the Yuan army!

So, on the battlefield, the only way is to keep surprise attacks!

The constant harassment of the Yuan army, the fatigue of the Yuan army, and the continuous attrition of the Yuan army made the Yuan army fall into a panic!

The effect of this soon became apparent, the casualties of the Red Turban Army were getting lower and lower, while the casualties of the soldiers of the Yuan Army were getting bigger and bigger, and gradually, the Red Turban Army actually gained the upper hand.

And such a situation not only did not scare off Wang Baobao, Chahan and others, but made them rise up with a stronger fighting spirit!

Wang Baobao, Chahan, Li Siqi and others discussed and decided not to give the Red Turban Army a chance to attack, but to take the initiative to launch an attack on Kaifeng City.

The Yuan army began to concentrate artillery and intensively attack the city wall on the east side of Kaifeng, which is the best direction to break through, and attack from here so as not to give the Red Turban Army a chance to escape.

Boom Boom!

Boom!

Bursts of artillery roared and let the Kaifeng city wall fall patches of rammed earth.

The Yuan army's concentrated artillery tactics can be described as immediate and achieved great results.

The city wall of Kaifeng suddenly became dangerous!

At this time, Liu Futong had to rest in bed because of nearly a month of hard fighting, coupled with multiple arrow injuries on his body.

"Report!"

"Dongcheng is in a hurry! Tartars on the walls! ”

"The brothers worked hard, and that's why the Tartars were killed!"

Batches of heralds brought the tense battle situation in Dongcheng to the Great Song Emperor Han Lin'er and others.

Now that Liu Futong can't go into battle, and the battle situation in Dongcheng is in crisis, Han Lin'er suddenly feels that he needs to stand up.

"Come on, pierce my armor!"

"I want to go to Dongcheng to personally supervise the battle and inspire the soldiers!"

Han Lin'er's words made Liu Futong, Guan Duo and others on the side extremely moved.

They all know that the Yuan army has already seen through the plan of the Red Turban Army, and wants to conquer the attack and block the Red Turban Army in Kaifeng City!

The situation is so critical, it is indeed necessary for Han Lin'er, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, to stand up!

"Dong Da, you go to protect Your Majesty, you can't make a half-point difference!" Liu Futong said to his love general.

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Under the escort of the Mengjiang Dong Da and others, Han Lin'er led everyone to hold high the emperor's cover and came to the east city of Kaifeng.

The surrounding soldiers of the Red Turban Army, who had just been afraid of panic because the Yuan army had attacked the city wall, now saw the Great Song Emperor Han Lin'er personally go into battle to comfort the soldiers, and they were immediately cheered, and their morale instantly rose again!

"Long live Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! ......“

After Han Lin'er and the others arrived in Dongcheng, the soldiers at the head of the city shouted long live, and their morale instantly rose!

"Hooray!"

"Long live the Great Song!"

The soldiers of the Red Turban Army on the city wall marched forward bravely one by one and launched a bloody battle with the Yuan army.

When the Yuan army outside the city saw this situation, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's going on?"

"How did it come to this? What happened to the red turban thief? ”

"Didn't the Red Turban Thief be beaten by us just now? How can morale be restored again? ”

......

Seeing the scene in the city, the Yuan army also felt incredible!

Wang Baobao, the general of the Yuan army, also noticed the situation in Kaifeng City.

I saw a gorgeous canopy appear on the city wall, and a group of red turban soldiers in iron armor surrounded a man in yellow robe and gold armor.

"It must be the leader of the Red Turban Thieves!"

"It's not Liu Futong, it's definitely Han Lin'er!"

Wang Baobao suddenly felt that he saw a great opportunity.

He endured the excitement in his heart and summoned several Yuan army generals over.

"Quick!"

"Point all the artillery at the thief leader!"

"Look at my flag, all the guns are fired together!"

Wang Baobao said loudly.

All the high-power artillery of the Yuan army was almost all concentrated in Dongcheng.

However, no matter how many artillery pieces there are, the accuracy is too poor is also a big problem, and all Wang Baobao's plans to use artillery to snipe the leader of the Red Turban Army actually only have one chance.

If the blow misses, the leader of the red turban thieves at the head of the city will definitely have to flee, and by the time the Yuan army's artillery is reloaded, the people will have already run away without a shadow.

"Yes, General!"

As several Yuan army generals were in place, more than 20 heavy artillery pieces of the Yuan army were immediately ready, and all the guns were aimed at Han Lin'er's location!

Wang Baobao stared at the gorgeous canopy in front of him, holding the order flag with his own hands, waiting for the best time to fire!

Finally, Wang Baobao saw the opportunity and reluctantly waved the order flag in his hand!

Rumble!

Thundered!

More than 20 high-powered artillery pieces opened fire, and one shell after another flew towards Han Lin'er on the city tower.

Rumble!

Bang!

With a roar, more than 20 shells smashed into Kaifeng City almost at the same time.

The cannonballs smashed the walls apart!

The moment the burst of debris flew onto the human body, the Red Turban Army on the head of the city suddenly let out a miserable scream.

"Not good!"

"Enemy attack, get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

......

In an instant, there were many dead and wounded at the location of the city wall that was set on fire! Some of the soldiers of the Red Turban Army who were lucky enough to escape the artillery bombardment fled into the distance, and some soldiers of the Red Turban Army ran to Han Lin'er's location one after another.

"Hurry up and rescue Your Majesty!"

"Hurry!"

I saw that Han Lin'er, the Great Song Emperor who was still on the battlefield to boost morale just now, was already covered with red blood on his face at this time!

Seeing this scene, everyone in the city was in an uproar!

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"Hurry up and get a doctor!"

......

There was chaos in the city, and the Great Song Emperor Han Lin'er was set on fire by the heavy artillery of the Yuan army and was seriously injured immediately.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

There was a cry on the head of the city, but Han Lin'er's face was pale, her lips were purple, and she was already dying!

"Go and ask Dr. Sun!"

"Hurry up, hurry back to the palace!"

"Your Majesty is injured, go back quickly!"

“......“

There was a sudden chaos at the head of the city, and everyone was busy, carrying Han Lin'er to the city, ready to ask for a doctor for the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!

Seeing Han Lin'er dying from the heavy artillery of the Yuan army, the red turban soldiers on the head of the city were all panicked one by one!

The city wall was busy, and for a while people turned over on their backs, and there was chaos.

And Wang Baobao, the general of the Yuan army, saw this scene, and he also looked happy, and laughed:

"Kill, take the city!"

An order was given, and a shout of charging sounded in the Yuan army camp!

Hearing the roar in the camp of the Yuan army, the red turban soldiers at the head of the city were also in a panic!

"Kill!"

"Take Kaifeng, take Kaifeng!"

In the camp of the Yuan army, shouts sounded, and the shouts and killings of the Yuan army became louder and louder, as if they were about to break through the clouds!

And the Red Turban Army at the head of Kaifeng City was disheartened one by one, and their morale fell to the bottom!

The Red Turban Army, which was originally high morale and morale like a rainbow, is now panicked!

"Kill!"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

......

Seeing the low morale of the soldiers in the city, the soldiers of the Yuan army were also excited!

They knew that as long as Kaifeng City was taken, their task would be completed.

When the time comes, they can make an appeal to the court!

Once this mission is completed, when the time comes, they will be able to enjoy the glory and glory!

In this era, only money and women are everything!

Thinking of this, their spirits are also greatly boosted, their morale is high, and their morale is great

In the camp of the Yuan army, Wang Baobao was also overjoyed.

In the face of the frantic siege of the Yuan army, the Red Turban Army on Kaifeng City fought hard to finally repel them.

With a gust of cold wind blowing, the smell of blood on Kaifeng City finally dissipated.

Although Kaifeng City was not breached, Wang Baobao and other generals of the Yuan Army were already very satisfied, and the leader of the Red Turban Thieves who was concentrated by heavy artillery today must be a big man!

At this time, Kaifeng City.

In the humble Great Song Palace, Han Lin'er, the Great Song Emperor, was lying on the dragon bed, motionless.

After several imperial doctors checked the pulse, they all shook their heads and sighed solemnly.
