Chapter 126 Musketeers!Han Lin'er died in battle【read more】

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

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

Zhu Han said, and handed the new army logistics system he had formulated to Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang took it and looked at it seriously, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but said before even finishing it: "Deputy commander, this new army's logistics is so extravagant!"

"Mr. Li, you might as well be straightforward." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Deputy Commander, your new army's logistics is a big deal. I have never seen such a high configuration. The military rations alone cost a full 10 taels of silver! And there are additional needs for meat and vegetables. More than [-] taels, oh, and there are emergency rations for each soldier, etc. This is simply better than the food for the personal guards of the Wu Palace! Isn’t such a high supply too much!”

Li Shanchang couldn't help sighing.

"This is formulated for the purpose of training the new army. The combat effectiveness of the new army will be compared to the personal guards of Prince Wu's Mansion in the future!" Zhu Han said,
For the supplies of the new army, Zhu Han set strict standards. Every soldier can get one and a half catties of staple food, half a catty of vegetables and meat, and even one or two candied rice crackers. At a glance, a group of rough men who are soldiers can eat so well every day, ordinary landlords and rich people don't eat and drink so generously!

"Deputy Marshal, even if this is the case, it's too much. In my opinion, even if it is cut in half, it will still be very rich. For example, changing the meat and vegetables to a three-day meal is the best." The logistics of the Scarf Army naturally knew what standard the ordinary Red Scarf Army soldiers ate.

An ordinary soldier of the Red Turban Army can basically eat all he can eat every day, but fish and meat can be eaten every three days to improve his food.

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

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

Ordinary armies have drills every ten days, drills every five days are common, and drills every three days are considered elite.

Fortunately for Zhu Han, he directly created a daily drill, which was absolutely unheard of by Li Shanchang.

"That's right, it's just practicing every day!" Zhu Han repeated with a smile.

"Deputy commander, practice every day, what a powerful formation is this going to be?" Li Shanchang couldn't help asking.

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

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

Although Li Shanchang felt that such an approach might not be very good, he dared not refute it.

"Deputy commander, is it possible for such a new army to form a combat force within a year?" Li Shanchang couldn't help asking.

Hearing Li Shanchang's question, Zhu Han couldn't help laughing and said, "One year? That's too long, to be honest, according to my method, it only takes three months, and it's enough to train and strengthen the army!"

"What? Is what the deputy commander said true?" Li Shanchang was surprised again.

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

"That's great, deputy commander. It would be great if the new army can reach this level!" Li Shanchang said while recording it on paper.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, this matter will be handled by you. No matter what, the military needs must be met." Zhu Han said.

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

Zhu Han nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then let Li Shanchang leave.

Not long after, Zhu Han was very satisfied with Li Shanchang's plan on logistics supplies for the new army, so he was not worried at all.

The so-called soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass. Now that the problem of food and grass 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 elites in the shortest possible time!" Zhu Han ordered.

When Chang Yuchun and the others heard the words, they hurriedly bowed their hands and agreed.

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

Zhu Han's new army organization is basically based on the military reform of Gustav II of Sweden. The new army of 5000 people is basically based on battalions and brigades. Each battalion has more than [-] people, of which one-third One is spearmen, and the rest are basically musketeers, equipped with a small number of elite skirmishers with swords and shields.

The spearmen and musketeers of the new army were also improved by Zhu Han. Among them, the spears of the spearmen were all shortened from the usual one foot eight feet to one foot two feet, and they had better Flexibility, the firearms of the musketeers all adopted the newly improved muskets of Jinling Weapons Workshop, from the original bulky and heavy guns of nearly twenty catties to light muskets of less than ten catties, as for the brackets when firing, they were completely thrown away Lost.

Zhu Han's new army formation is the Gustav phalanx, which is more advanced 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 strong generals who are good at cavalry have no difficulty in cooperating with cavalry and infantry.

Zhu Han's new army was basically born for field battles, and the artillery was also increased and improved. The original weight of the artillery was seven to eight hundred catties, and now it has been refitted to about three hundred catties. This kind of weight is simply not enough for ordinary infantry No effect whatsoever.

In addition to Chang Yuchun's shock cavalry, Zhu Han also set up another musket cavalry regiment of about 500 people, all of whom used new muskets, rushed to the front of the enemy's formation on horseback and fired. The ferocious muskets could crush everything armor and shield.

The combat method of this musketeer cavalry is to hit and run, run far away and then reload the musket, and then repeat the original attack method.

Zhu Han's musket cavalry had been invented a long time ago, but the previous muskets were too heavy to be suitable for riders. This time, the Jinling musketeer workshop made a new musket, which made Zhu Han feel that it was the right time Training musketeers.

"Zhang Dingbian!"

"Qi Xiang!"

"The two of you will be the commanders of the Left and Right Battalions of the Musketeers from now on!"

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

In front of [-] Musketeers, Zhu Han appointed the commanders of the left and right battalions of the Cavalry Regiment. They were Zhang Dingbian, whom he had met in Suzhou before. Zhu Han is quite appreciative of his loyalty.

The Musketeer's tactics were a bit novel and different. Chang Yuchun and other fierce generals didn't like such wretched tactics, and they were unwilling to be the generals of the Musketeer regiment. Zhu Han chose Zhang Dingbian, who was not very experienced.

As for Qi Xiang, he joined the Red Turban Army as a refugee when the Longxing Army in Haozhou gathered together, and he belonged to a very old group of people, but Qi Xiang's qualifications are limited. He didn't have too many outstanding achievements, and he belonged to a group of loyal soldiers who worked hard without complaint. He didn't have much talent in commanding the old-style army, so Zhu Han arranged Qi Xiang to serve in the Musketeer Cavalry Regiment.

Of course, there was another important reason why Zhu Han chose Qi Xiang, that is, Qi Xiang was unknown in the history of Ming Dynasty, but among his descendants there was a generation of famous generals who would shine through the ages. Han's half master.

Qi Xiang's offspring 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.

Upon hearing Zhu Han's appointment, both Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang responded with a military salute.

"Obey, deputy commander!"

The two of them performed the military salute of the new army. They didn't need to kneel down, but raised their arms in front of their chests, which was also a kind of ancient Chinese military salute.

"Have all the horses from the Musketeer Regiment arrived?" Zhu Han asked Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang as he made his inspection tour.

"Reporting to the deputy commander, [-] horses have been brought in from Tamra Island, and the general has already selected [-] of them!" Qi Xiang said.

He was originally a member of the cavalry of the Red Scarf Army, and he was someone who knew horses.

"Five hundred horses? Too little, how can it be?" Zhu Han shook his head.

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

Horses are so expensive now, especially the excellent war horses on Tamna Island, all of which can be bought for tens of taels of silver in Jiangnan!

"One person and two horses, the number of cavalry regiments is small nowadays, and it is easy to feed a thousand army horses." Zhu Han said with a smile, "Besides, musketeers need to use muskets to attack, as long as they are loaded with gunpowder, they don't need much effort at all. It is not as exhausting as shooting an arrow, as long as the horses have strength, the Musketeers can attack without limit!"

The innate physical fitness that does not require a strong body is also a focus of Zhu Han's desire to vigorously develop the Musketeers.

Ordinary bows and arrows, if they want to have the lethality of armor-piercing, they must either risk approaching the enemy and shoot arrows, or choose a stronger bow with greater power. No matter what it is, bowing and archery is an extremely energy-intensive way, just like ordinary bows and arrows. People frantically play with the arm strength stick, a fifty-pound arm strength stick, can make ordinary people exhausted by playing it a few times, not to mention that the strength of the war bow is far greater than the fifty-jin arm strength stick.

The Musketeers wore the latest wide-brimmed helmets and breastplates, which protected important body parts. The muskets in their hands could penetrate any armor at a distance of twenty steps, and they were completely excellent killing machines.

"Our Musketeer Cavalry regiment, the future combat principle is that horses will never rest, so prepare more horses!" Zhu Han finally said.

"Of order, deputy commander, the last general will go to prepare!" Qi Xiang said hastily.

"Deputy Marshal, the sergeants in the regiment have been training for ten days. I don't know when they can get on their horses?" Zhang Dingbian asked quickly.

The Musketeer Cavalry Regiment had been formed for about ten days. According to Zhu Han's order, everyone did not train at all, they just stood on the school field and trained in military posture.

The Musketeer Regiment's base is an independent area, and the other new army bases are actually in the same situation, all of them are training in military posture, but the soldiers of the Musketeer Regiment don't know it, and think they have received the only treatment.

"After only ten days of training, they can't take it anymore? If you want to practice riding a horse, then I have to see how you are doing!" Zhu Han smiled slightly.

There are more than 1 people in the new army, and they are all in the boring military posture training. This is the introductory method of the modern army.

"Don't worry, deputy commander, the brothers have practiced very well!" Zhang Dingbian immediately regained his energy when he heard this.

"Then you practice it once, and I will personally inspect it!" Zhu Han said with a serious face.

"Obey, deputy commander!"

Zhang Dingbian gave a military salute, and immediately went to pull up his soldiers from the left battalion and began to line up. The soldiers from the left battalion followed the commander of the left battalion and formed a neat team.

The soldiers in the left battalion were all new recruits, so the training didn't take long. Now it seems that these recruits are pretty good. Although they are a bit jerky, the basic formation training has reached the standard of the general army.

"Look, deputy commander, how standard their actions are!" Zhang Dingbian said to Zhu Han beside him.

Zhu Han looked at the marching queue, but did not speak.

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

"Okay, let's take a look!"

"Listen up, listen to my orders!" Zhu Han went to the review stand, shouted at the soldiers of the left battalion, and waved the horsewhip in his hand.

Snapped

With a sound, Zhu Han's whip hit the ground with a loud noise.

"Three teams become two teams!"

"The front team becomes the rear team!"

"Left column turn left, right column turn right, assemble!"

. . .

Zhu Han's series of orders were all complicated orders in the drills. After a few combinations, the soldiers of the left battalion, who were originally orderly, became a mess.

Zhang Ding, who was next to him, looked at his soldiers, and suddenly blushed, cursing inwardly: "It's over, it's over, I, the cavalryman, have to continue walking on two legs again, alas!" !

"stop!"

Zhu Han suddenly stopped the whip and scolded.

With Zhu Han's scolding, the soldiers immediately stopped as if they were frightened.

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

Zhang Dingbian blushed, and said loudly: "Deputy Commander, the general will practice extra drills with them!"

"Of course I have to practice more. I can't control my legs well, so I can't mess up my position after riding a horse!" Zhu Han didn't blame him too much. He turned his head and looked at Qi Xiang, the commander of the right battalion next to him, "Qi Xiang, how about your right battalion, do you want to practice this again?"

Hearing this, Qi Xiang shook his head again and again, he knew that his right battalion was not at the same level as Zhang Dingbian's left battalion, if he really followed Zhu Han's drill method just now, he would be in a mess.

"Deputy Marshal, no, no, the last general will also lead the right battalion to practice together!" Qi Xiang said hastily.

Zhu Han nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll give you three more days, if you can't finish such a simple drill, then go to the back kitchen to be a cook!"

"Obey, deputy commander!"

When Zhang Dingbian and Qi Xiang heard this, they were immediately startled, and quickly jumped off the reviewing stand, and took their left and right battalions to extra practice.

Seeing the soldiers' drills in full swing, Zhu Han was actually rather satisfied. In just ten days, the Musketeers had basically completed the half-month drill requirements, and they could definitely complete it in a few more days.

"Hu Yiba, go to the Military Supplies Department and send a thousand pieces of the new batch of canned meat to the Musketeers, as a reward for their hard work!" Zhu Han said to Hu Yiba, the deputy general next to him .

"Deputy Marshal, the Military Supplies Department only has [-] pieces of canned meat!" Hu Yiba whispered.

"Look at the way you search, there will be plenty of canned meat in the future!" Zhu Han cursed with a smile.

According to Zhu Han's guidance, the New Army's Munitions Department has already produced a batch of galvanized tin cans, which are so-called tin cans.

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

As long as you put meat and seasonings in the can, seal it and steam it, it can basically be stored for three to five years without any problem. Even if you add more salt, it may not be broken for five to sixty years.

This batch of new canned meat was produced. Although Zhu Han felt that the taste was not good and there was a lot of room for improvement, after the whole army tasted it, they all regarded the oily, salty, and seasoned canned meat as food. Military luxury!

After only two distributions, the new army's tin canned meat has become the most in-demand hard currency in the army!

Henan, Bianliang City.

Yuan Dynasty generals Chahan, Wang Baobao, Li Siqi and others gathered more than 20 troops, carrying more than 20 newly cast heavy cannons, and surrounded Kaifeng City in groups.

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

Under the supervision of Liu Futong and Han Liner, the Red Scarf Army is fighting desperately.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
There was another roar of artillery, and the artillery of the Yuan army shook off large pieces of the rammed earth on the Bianliang city wall!
"Fire me, fight back!" Liu Futong stood on the city wall and commanded the artillery at the top of the city to fight back. Unfortunately, the range of the Yuan army's artillery far exceeded Liu Futong's estimate, and the Yuan army built solid fortifications on the artillery positions. Liu Futong's artillery It couldn't cause any damage at all, but the city wall of Kaifeng was smashed to pieces by several rounds of shelling by the Yuan army!
The soldiers of the Red Scarf Army on the top of the city were also trembling with fright, not daring to act rashly.

"Prime Minister, what should we do? Our artillery can't fight back at all. Are we going to watch the Tartars smash down the city wall like this?" one of the generals under his command asked eagerly.

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

If the Tartars are given a few more years, their artillery will be even more powerful!
He is convinced of this, because since the Yuan army crossed the Yellow River to attack, such heavy artillery has been continuously transported to the battlefield. Obviously, the Yuan Dynasty still had many skilled craftsmen in Dadu.

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

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

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

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

However, Liu Futong only guessed half right.

The Red Scarf Army from all walks of life did know that the Yuan army was besieging Kaifeng with heavy troops, and they all sent reinforcements from King Qin, who had already arrived in Henan, but none of them came near Kaifeng.

They are all standing and watching, because Yuan Jun is really too strong this time!

The entire Mongolian and Yuan courts plundered Dadu, Liaoyang, Shandong, Shanxi and other places of financial resources and manpower, and fully supported Chahan, Wang Baobao and others in this encirclement of Kaifeng!
No one has the guts to go deep alone to rescue Kaifeng!
Therefore, all the generals of the rebel army are waiting, waiting for the Yuan army to make mistakes, or waiting for the Yuan army to be smashed in Bianliang, and then rush to rescue the siege, thereby reducing their responsibilities and avoiding losses. heavy!
As long as the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army suffer losses in Kaifeng, these reinforcements from the rebel army will definitely take advantage of the situation!

"Report!" While Liu Futong was anxiously waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, his subordinates rushed over and whispered something in Liu Futong's ear.

Liu Futong was startled when he heard the words, and then his face became completely gloomy!

"Pass down the order and let the brothers at the top of the city prepare for defense!" Liu Futong ordered.

"Yes!" The messenger led the order and left!

Liu Futong brought Han Liner and others down the city wall in a hurry, and after returning to the Bianliang Palace, Liu Futong spoke with a worried face.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Kaifeng really won't be able to hold on!"

When Han Liner and the others heard this, they were immediately taken aback.

Obviously just now Liu Futong said that all the soldiers should guard the city well, why can't they keep it now?
"Prime Minister, what do you say?" Han Liner asked anxiously.

Guan Duo, Dong Da and others beside him also looked at Liu Futong worriedly.

"Ugh!"

Liu Futong sighed first, and then spoke.

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

"Surveying the embankment?"

Han Lin'er was at a loss.

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

However, the faces of Guan Duo, Dong Da and others beside him were already pale!
"It's broken! The Tartars are going to flood Kaifeng!" Guan Duo said with fear and anger on his face, gnashing his teeth.

"Dog tartar, how vicious!" Dong Da also gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

The rest of the people were equally terrified and furious!
Once the Yuan army digs the Yellow River embankment, Kaifeng will definitely fall.

Moreover, not only Kaifeng, but even the whole of Henan may suffer again.

At that time, even if Liu Futong and the others wanted to escape, they would have nowhere to escape.

Once the mighty Yellow River is raging, there will be a muddy swamp for thousands of miles. No matter what hero you are, you will feed fish and turtles.

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

"Your Majesty, don't panic. The Tartars won't dig the embankment of the Yellow River yet. The water level is not enough now. At least we have to wait until summer comes in two or three months!" Liu Futong comforted.

"Great, doesn't that mean we have enough time, as long as reinforcements from all walks of life come, Kaifeng will be saved!" Han Liner seemed to be relieved.

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

Later, Liu Futong persuaded Han Lin'er to go up the city wall to encourage the Red Scarf Army to fight in person, because Liu Futong planned to lead the generals out of the city to counterattack!
"Prime Minister, don't worry, from today onwards, I will fight the enemy together with the soldiers!" Han Liner did not flinch at the critical moment, and directly agreed to Liu Futong's proposal.

"Your Majesty is wise, the ministers must fight to the death to guard and kill the Tartars!" Liu Futong said with some emotion. Although his eldest nephew, the emperor, is young, he is not bad at courage. Poor skill!
There is plenty of food and grass in Kaifeng, enough to feed the whole army for at least half a year. Now that Liu Futong is in a hurry to fight back the Yuan army, he simply rewards the whole army to boost the morale of the soldiers. If the Yuan army is not retreated, the food and grass will be fed to the fish and turtles.

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

In the daytime, the offensive of the Red Turban Army remained 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 6 troops, against the 20 troops of the Yuan Army!

Boom!

Boom boom boom!
Bursts of artillery sounded inside and outside Kaifeng City, and the Yuan Army and the Red Turban Army were caught in a fight again.

Liu Futong personally led the elite Red Turban Army out of the city to form a fierce attack on 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 the confidence to advance!

The Yuan army's camp is also very tight, and they will change their defenses every two hours.

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

Liu Futong led the army, and kept charging on the front of the Yuan army on the east side of Kaifeng City, trying to cut 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 Yuan army's defense line is as unbreakable as an iron barrel, and there is no gap at all!

Another charge failed, and the Red Turban Army was killed and wounded. Although they killed and wounded more soldiers of the Yuan Army, they still failed to break through the encirclement of the Yuan Army.

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

General Dong Da looked worried!

retreat?

Of course you can't retreat!
"Retreat? Where to retreat, Kaifeng City is behind you, and you will die if you retreat! If you don't repel the Tartars, you will die sooner or later!" Liu Futong was annoyed, and immediately ordered the drums to be beat to start a new round of attack.

This time, wearing armor and holding a long knife, Liu Futong charged forward with the soldiers!

The leader of the Yuan army this time was Wang Baobao, who almost couldn't stand the fierce counterattack of the Red Scarf Army. Now seeing the Red Scarf Army who had just failed in the attack and making a comeback like a madman, Wang Baobao was shocked!
The soldiers of the Yuan army under Wang Baobao also had heart palpitations. This was the first time they had encountered such a desperate fighting method.

"Drumming!"

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

Wang Baobao also felt ferocious in his heart, braved the arrows shot from ahead, and personally came to the pro-army to supervise the battle.

Oh oh oh!
With the sound of three horns, the Red Scarf Army on the opposite side launched a new round of charge!
"Rush forward and chop off the heads of these beasts!"

Seeing this, Liu Futong shouted loudly!
"Yes!"

Afterwards, dozens of generals of the Red Scarf Army pulled out their long knives in unison, jumped up, and killed the Tartars in front of them with their long knives.

"kill!"

Liu Futong also raised his knife to meet him!

"kill!"

"Come on, fight to the death with the Tartars!"

The two sides immediately fell into a melee in the wilderness outside the city gate!
This is a fierce battle, and both sides are desperately trying to win!
During the melee, the soldiers on both sides trampled on each other and died one after another!

All of a sudden, the air of blood overflowed!
Liu Futong led the soldiers on the city wall, brandishing their swords and shouting to kill the Tartars ahead!

The same is true for the Tartars on the opposite side. They also rushed forward, brandishing weapons, and launched a countercharge at Liu Futong and others!
"Rush! Rush! Rush!"

"Come on!"

For a moment, the sound of fighting and killing was deafening, and the sound of killing was deafening, and a strong smell of blood filled the air!

The sound of fighting between the two sides became more and more intense, and the blood also splashed into the air and dripped on the ground under their feet, forming a stream!
Under Liu Futong's command, this chaotic fight lasted until late at night before it stopped!
This scuffle also paid a great price. The soldiers under Liu Futong lost at least more than 2000 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 suffered casualties!
After several days of fighting, Liu Futong was seriously injured, but this battle made Liu Futong completely understand one thing!
This army under his command is indeed difficult to repel the opponent!

If you go head-to-head, the 5 people in your hands will not be able to compete with the 20 yuan army, let alone repel the Yuan army!

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

Constantly harassing the Yuan army, fatigued the Yuan army, and constantly reducing staff, made the Yuan army fall into panic!

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

And such a situation, not only did not scare away Wang Baobao, Chahan and others, but made them even stronger fighting spirit!

After discussion, Wang Baobao, Chahan, Li Siqi and others decided not to give the Red Scarf Army a chance to make a surprise attack, but to take the initiative to launch a fierce attack on Kaifeng City.

The Yuan army began to concentrate artillery and intensively attacked the city wall on the east side of Kaifeng. This is the best direction to break through. Attacking from here will prevent the Red Turban Army from escaping.

Boom boom boom!
Boom!

Bursts of artillery roared, causing pieces of rammed earth to fall from the city walls of Kaifeng.

The concentrated artillery tactics of the Yuan army can be said to have immediate results and achieved great results.

The city wall of Kaifeng suddenly became precarious!
At this time, Liu Futong had to stay in bed because of nearly a month of hard fighting and injuries from arrows.

"Report!"

"Eastern city is urgent! The Tartars are on the city wall!"

"Brothers worked hard, and this killed the Tartars!"

Groups of messengers brought the tense battle situation in Dongcheng to the Song Emperor Han Lin'er and others.

Now that Liu Futong is unable to fight, and the battle situation in Dongcheng is critical, Han Liner suddenly feels that he needs to stand up.

"Come here, put on armor for me!"

"I'm going to Dongcheng to personally supervise the battle and inspire the soldiers!"

Han Liner's words made Liu Futong, Guan Duo and others beside him very moved.

They all knew that the Yuan army had already seen through the plan of the Red Turban Army, and wanted to block the Red Turban Army in Kaifeng City by conquering them!
The situation is so critical, it is indeed necessary for Han Liner, the Great Song Emperor, to stand up!

"Dong Da, you go to protect His Majesty, you can't make any mistakes!" Liu Futong said to his beloved general.

"Obey, Prime Minister!"

Under the escort of the mighty general Dong Da and others, Han Liner led the crowd to Kaifeng East City, holding high the emperor's cape.

The soldiers of the Red Scarf Army around were afraid of panic because the Yuan army attacked the city wall just now, and now they saw Emperor Han Lin'er of the Great Song Dynasty personally go into battle to comfort the soldiers, they immediately cheered, and their morale rose again in an instant!

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"

After Han Lin'er and others arrived in the east city, the soldiers on the top of the city shouted long live, and their morale rose instantly!
"Long live!"

"Long live Da Song!"

The soldiers of the Red Turban Army on the city wall fought forward bravely one by one, and started a bloody fight with the Yuan army.

Seeing this situation, the Yuan army outside the city couldn't help being stunned.

"what happened?"

"How did it become like this? What happened to the red scarf thief?"

"Didn't the red scarf thief have been beaten into a mess by us just now? How did he regain his morale?"

Seeing the scene on the city, Yuan Jun also felt unbelievable!
General Wang Baobao of the Yuan Army also noticed the situation in Kaifeng City.

I saw a gorgeous mantle appearing on the city wall, and a group of red scarf soldiers in iron armor surrounded a man in yellow robe and gold armor.

"It must be the leader of the Red Scarf Thief!"

"It's not Liu Futong, it must be Han Liner!"

Wang Baobao immediately felt that he had seen an excellent opportunity.

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

"quick!"

"Point all the artillery at that thief leader!"

"Look at my flag, all artillery fire together!"

Wang Baobao said loudly.

Almost all the powerful artillery of the Yuan army were concentrated in Dongcheng.

However, no matter how many cannons there are, poor accuracy is still a big problem. All Wang Baobao's plans to use cannons to kill the leader of the Red Scarf Army actually have only one chance.

If one misses, the leader of the red scarf bandits on the top of the city must have fled. By the time the Yuan army's cannons are reloaded, they will have run away long ago.

"As ordered, General!"

As several generals of the Yuan army took their positions, more than 20 heavy artillery pieces of the Yuan army immediately got ready, and all the muzzles aimed at Han Liner's position!

Wang Baobao fixed his eyes on the gorgeous helmet in front of him, held the command flag in his own hand, and waited for the best time to fire!
Finally, Wang Baobao saw the right time and suddenly waved down the command flag in his hand!
boom!
Rumble!
More than 20 powerful cannons fired, and shells flew towards Han Lin'er on the tower.

boom!
Boom!

Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, more than 20 shells hit the city of Kaifeng almost at the same time.

The shells smashed the city wall and burst it!
The moment the ejected gravel flew onto the human body, the Red Turban soldiers on the top of the city let out screams.

"not good!"

"Enemy attack, get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

In an instant, there were many casualties on the city wall where the fire was concentrated!Some soldiers of the Red Scarf Army who were lucky enough to escape the artillery bombardment fled to the distance one after another. Some soldiers of the Red Scarf Army crawled to Han Liner's location.

"Quickly rescue Your Majesty!"

"Quick!"

I saw that Song Emperor Han Lin'er, who had come to the battlefield to boost morale just now, was already covered in bright red blood!

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

"how can that be?"

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

"Go and call the doctor!"

There was chaos on the top of the city. Emperor Han Lin'er of the Song Dynasty was heavily injured by the Yuan army's heavy artillery and was immediately seriously injured.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

There was crying and shouting on the top of the city, but Han Liner's face was pale, his lips were purple, and he was dying!
"Quickly invite Dr. Sun!"

"Hurry up, hurry back to the palace!"

"Your Majesty is injured, hurry back!"

"."

There was a sudden chaos on the top of the city, and everyone was busy, carrying Han Lin'er to the bottom of the city, preparing to invite a doctor for the Great Song Emperor!
Seeing Han Lin'er dying from being bombarded by the Yuan army's heavy artillery, the red scarf soldiers on the top of the city were all panicked!
Busy on the city wall, people turned their backs on their backs for a while, and there was chaos.

And Wang Baobao, the general of the Yuan army, also had a happy face when he saw this scene, and laughed loudly:
"Kill, take down the city!"

With an order, there was a wild cry of charge in the camp of the Yuan army!
Hearing the roar in the camp of the Yuan army, the red scarf soldiers on the top 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 of the Yuan army's army became louder and louder, as if they were about to break through the sky!
And the Red Scarf Army on the head of Kaifeng City, all of them were disheartened, and their morale fell to the bottom!

The Red Turban Army, whose morale was high and high, is now panicked!
"kill!"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

Seeing the low morale of the soldiers on the top of the city, the soldiers of the Yuan army were also very excited!
They knew that as long as they took Kaifeng City, their mission would be completed.

At that time, they can report to the imperial court!

Once this mission is completed, they will then be able to enjoy the splendor, wealth and glory!

In this era, only money and women are everything!
Thinking of this, their spirits are also boosted, their morale is high, and their morale is booming!

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

Facing the crazy siege of the Yuan army, the Red Scarf Army in Kaifeng City exhausted their strength before finally repelling them.

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

Although the city of Kaifeng was not breached, Wang Baobao and other Yuan army generals were already very satisfied. The leader of the red scarf bandit who was concentrated by heavy artillery today must be a big shot!

At this time, in the city of Kaifeng.

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

Several imperial doctors shook their heads and sighed solemnly after taking the pulse.
