Han Laoer, who was standing aside, shrank back and bumped into Tian Sanshui who was standing behind him.

"Second Master, please slow down." Tian Sanshui hurriedly supported Han Laoer with his hands.

Han Laoer looked at Tian Sanshui and whispered: "Is there really no problem with the siege vehicle you built?"

"Second Master, don't worry. There is no problem at all with the siege vehicle built using small methods. Didn't you see it before? When the Tiger Flag's artillery bombarded it, there is no problem at all with our siege vehicle." Tian Sanshui He said patting his chest.

Han Laoer gritted his teeth and whispered: "Don't lie to me, a siege vehicle was shattered by artillery just now."

"That was an accident." Tian Sanshui explained in a low voice, "Some of the door panels sent by Master Wo Lunkuo were broken. The siege vehicle that was blown to pieces should have used bad wooden boards."

Han Laoer hesitated for a moment and then said: "What about the other two siege vehicles? Do they have the bad door panels you said?"

"This... I'm not sure, but looking at the other two siege vehicles that blocked the Tiger Flag's bombardment, I guess they used good wooden boards." Tian Sanshui's confidence became a little weak when he spoke.

"Hmph, I hope so!" Han Laoer waved his right arm.

At this time, he knew that he had no choice. He could only hope that the remaining two siege vehicles would not have any problems and reach the bank of the moat in front of the castle smoothly.

"Taiji, we can't attack anymore." As the words fell, Arslan rushed over from the flank.

Soon, Arslan's horse stopped in front of Su Nang.

Su Nang looked at Azillan, with a hint of displeasure on his face, and said: "Arsilan, the army is attacking now, but you said such words that shake the morale of the army, I can punish you now."

"Please forgive me, Taiji." Arslan bowed in apology, and then said, "Taiji, those siege vehicles obviously cannot withstand the bombardment in the fort. Why don't we let the people in my tribe Warriors, come back!"

"Nonsense!" Su Nang said sternly with a straight face, "You, Azilan, haven't reached the point where your eyesight is dim yet. Could it be that you couldn't see the siege vehicles, driven by our Mongolian warriors, getting closer to the fortress of the Tiger Flag? .”

Arslan said with a bitter look on his face: "The shelling of the Tiger Flag just now shattered one siege vehicle, causing many casualties to the warriors of my tribe. If we shell it a few more times, I'm afraid the other two siege vehicles will be destroyed." Even the city carriages cannot withstand it, and the warriors of my tribe will have no choice but to resist the bombardment of the tiger-shaped flag with their flesh and blood. I would also like to ask Tai Ji to show mercy and allow the warriors of my tribe to retreat."

Su Nang said in a calm tone, "The siege vehicles can withstand artillery fire. This is something that everyone has seen. Now that the three siege vehicles have been given to your Azillan Department, if your Azillan Department dares If you flee without a fight, then don’t blame Bentaiji for distributing your cattle, sheep, herds and herdsmen to other tribes.”

Hearing this, Arslan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word, but his face was very ugly.

Su Nang withdrew his gaze, stopped looking at him, and focused his gaze on the two siege vehicles on the grassland again.

The siege vehicle is related to whether he can capture the fort with the tiger-shaped flag before Kancantada and Batu arrive. As long as he captures the fort with the tiger-shaped flag before the two people arrive, not only the inside of the fort with the tiger-shaped flag Everything will belong to him, and his reputation will spread throughout the grassland.

boom! boom! Bang...bang!

The sound of artillery sounded again, like thunder on a sunny day, and the Mongolian army several miles away could hear it clearly.

The iron balls from the two six-pound cannons accurately hit the two siege vehicles.

The only two siege vehicles left on the grassland were smashed into several pieces on the spot like paper under the shelling of the six-pounder cannon.

Many Mongolian soldiers hiding behind siege engines were hit by the iron balls that had no power left.

The Mongolian soldiers behind the siege vehicle were crowded, shoulder to shoulder. The moment the planks of the siege vehicle shattered, many Mongolian soldiers did not react and were killed or injured on the spot by the iron balls.

In addition to the two iron balls from the six-pounder, there were also many four-pounder cannons.

Hundreds of Mongolian soldiers were killed and injured nearly a hundred on the spot, which was more serious than the casualties of the herdsmen who came to fill the river last time.

Without the protection of the siege vehicles, and with many dead and wounded companions around them, the remaining Mongolian soldiers had no idea of ​​continuing to move forward, and turned around and fled towards the Mongolian army behind them.

The fort wall.

Lin Ping shouted excitedly: "Quick, quick, change to the explosive ammunition, shoot freely, use the explosive ammunition to chase the northern soldiers on the grassland and bombard them."

He himself did not expect that the two six-pound cannons in the second round would be so successful, destroying the only two remaining siege vehicles of Beilu at once.

Whether it is a six-pounder or a four-pounder, there are two kinds of cannons prepared on the side of each gun, one is a solid bullet, and the other is a blooming bullet.

The gunner cleaned the gun barrel, other gunners put the explosive shells into the gun chamber, and the gunner who specially lit the gun fired the cannon.

The blooming projectiles shot out one after another and landed among the fleeing Mongolian soldiers.

Different from solid bullets, the main damage caused by blooming bullets comes from the iron fragments and iron sand after exploding the opening. Although it will not plow a furrow like solid bullets, it can cause damage in a circle around the impact point.

The gunners on the fort wall have undergone long-term training. Unlike the gunners of the Ming army, they had to wait for a long time before firing the second shot.

The gunners of the Tiger Flag are skilled in their movements, and each gunner has a different division of labor. They fire their guns almost one after another.

"Ah! I am the son of Arslan!" Arslan suddenly shouted.

The sound of artillery continued, and every time the sound of artillery appeared, the Mongolian soldiers who were fleeing towards the direction of the Mongolian army would be killed or injured.

Arslan's eyes were about to burst.

The dead and injured Mongolian soldiers on the grassland were all warriors of his tribe, and some of them were elite armored cavalry around him, who were sent to suppress the formation. They all died under the shelling of the Tiger Flag.

Su Nang, who was standing in front of the Mongolian army on horseback, suddenly changed his expression.

What he felt distressed was not the Mongolian warriors of the Arzlan tribe, but the fact that the siege vehicles could not withstand the bombardment, and he lost the opportunity to capture the Tiger Flag Dunbao ahead of Kankantada and Batu.

Several days have passed since he led his army to besiege Tiger Flag Dunbao. According to the date agreed between him and Kankantada, Kankantada and Batu may arrive at any time. He is thinking of taking it alone. The fortress of the Tiger Flag has become impossible.

He looked at Wo Lunkuo and said in a bad tone: "What's going on? Didn't it say that these siege vehicles can defend against the cannons of the Tiger Flag?"

Wo Lunkuo lowered his head, his expression equally ugly.

Su Nang ignored him, turned to Han Laoer, and said coldly: "You bastard, you built the siege truck. Do you want to give me an explanation?"

Hearing this, Han Lao Er was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
