"Quick, go shout that Zhu Yuanzhang is dead!"
Aru Hui immediately ordered.
Soon, shouts rang out from the Yuan army formation.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is dead!"
"Zhu Yuanzhang was shot to death!"
"The red scarf thief has been defeated!"
Naturally, the rebel soldiers could not easily believe these shouts.
However, there are always people who can't help but look for the figure of the commander-in-chief Zhu Yuanzhang. Just now he was shouting to boost morale behind the battle lines.
It didn't matter, they couldn't find Zhu Yuanzhang.
Only the red flag remained motionless behind the battle line.
Some rebel soldiers couldn't help but feel suspicious, and began to doubt the authenticity of the Yuan army's shouts.
Military morale is about to face a huge test!
Zhu Han naturally noticed the abnormality of his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang.
He stretched his neck to check, but he could only see the handsome flag of his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, but he could not see the active figure of Zhu Yuanzhang just now.
"If it's broken, are we really in danger?"
Zhu Han was greatly frightened.
He quickly called Zhou Dexing over, "Brother Zhou, you will be in charge of the rear army!"
The situation was critical, so Zhou Dexing naturally did not hesitate at all.
"Hu Yiba and Chen Baodao, come with me with your artillery and front selection battalion!"
Zhu Han shouted and rushed forward.
Hu Yiba's engineering team dragged the artillery, and Chen Baodao followed quickly with the elite soldiers of the Selected Front Battalion.
Zhu Han came to the front, squeezed into the crowd, and immediately saw the pale Zhu Yuanzhang.
"elder brother!"
When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's condition, Zhu Han almost shed tears.
A heavy arrow as thick as a finger was firmly inserted under Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder socket. If it hadn't been blocked by armor, it would have penetrated the wound.
"The bones are broken!" a soldier said to Zhu Han.
"Brother, can you still hold on?"
Zhu Han took a look at the wound and found that it was not fatal, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this is not the time to relax yet.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "We can still hold on!"
"Quick! Saw off the arrow shaft!"
Zhu Han pulled Hu Yiba over and ordered.
The engineering team naturally had a complete set of knives and quickly sawed off the hard arrow shaft, leaving only the arrowhead inside Zhu Yuanzhang's flesh.
To pull out the arrowhead, you must have a special knife, otherwise it will be easy for the barb to come out of the flesh, causing more serious injuries.
"Brother, brothers are watching, you can't fall!"
Zhu Han helped his brother stand up and whispered in his ear.
At this time, various shouts of 'shoot Zhu Yuanzhang' were heard on the noisy battlefield.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood that his safety was related to the morale of the entire army.
He nodded slightly, gritted his teeth and endured the pain of broken bones and flesh, and ordered to the soldiers on the left and right.
"Hurry up and help me mount!"
Several soldiers rushed up to lift Zhu Yuanzhang.
But his shoulder socket was injured and he couldn't exert any strength at all. He tried several times but failed to mount the horse.
suddenly.
At this time, there was a response from the mountains and forests on both sides of the battle line.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
This sound of Mongolian horns marked the beginning of the Yuan army's final general attack.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was shot and fell by an arrow, the rebels were filled with surprise and uncertainty, which was quickly captured by Alu Hui.
He decisively ordered a full-scale attack.
Whether it was the front of the battle line or the ambushes on both sides, they launched a fierce attack together.
For a moment, the front line of the rebel army was unable to hold up.
Seeing the critical situation, Zhu Han knew it was time to take action on his own.
He handed his brother Zhu Yuanzhang over to Xu Da, who was coming over, and shouted behind him.
"Hu Yiba, Chen Baodao, follow me!"
Zhu Han led the engineering team pushing the three-pound cannon to the fighting front.
At this time, the soldiers of the Yuan army crowded together and charged forward, creating a concave surface in the rebel formation.
When this concave surface is broken through, the rebel army will not be far away from collapse across the board.
"Load solid ammunition!"
Zhu Han shouted, and Hu Yiba and others quickly started loading the artillery.
At such a close distance, shotguns should have been more lethal.
However, the rebels and the Yuan army were strangled together, and the shotguns were too wide, making it easy to accidentally injure friendly forces.
"Loading complete!"
Soon, Hu Yiba shouted.
Their artillery has adopted fixed ammunition packages, which can be loaded very quickly.
"Push forward!"
"Push forward!"
Zhu Han shouted and commanded, and Hu Yiba and others almost pushed the artillery under the Yuan army's nose. Only when they were only ten steps away from the Yuan army did Zhu Han give the order to fire it.
"put!"
When Zhu Han shouted loudly to fire, the Yuan soldiers on the opposite side were looking at them with confusion.
The Yuan soldiers have naturally seen artillery before, but this is the first time they have seen this kind of artillery that can quickly advance under their noses.
Moreover, this artillery is so short, is it really powerful?
boom!
The doubts of these Yuan soldiers did not last long, and the eruption of gunpowder gave them the answer!
The brass cannon using granular gunpowder is small in size but extremely powerful.
The three-pound cast-iron bullet penetrated into the dense array of the Yuan army like a god of death.
The cannonball easily penetrated any obstacle, whether it was weapons, armor, shields, or bones, and was unable to compete with it.
The three-pound cannon's close-range power is enough to penetrate the thickness of more than twenty flesh and blood bodies.
In the blink of an eye, the Yuan army, which had high morale, was filled with casualties.
In the dense array, a blood channel was carved out by the cast-iron cannonballs, and the ground was covered with horrific flesh and blood.
"Shrapnel, reload!"
Zhu Han didn't appreciate the results of the battle just now, and immediately gave an order.
Hu Yiba and other engineering teams quickly cleared the chamber, loaded and inserted leads.
The hit just now caused the morale of the Yuan army on the opposite side to plummet. They stopped their attack and began to retreat.
At this distance, it can be used to launch shotguns.
"Shot ammunition, loading completed!" Hu Yiba shouted.
"put!"
Zhu Han checked the distance and then gave an order.
As the artillery fuse was ignited, the Yuan soldiers on the opposite side screamed in terror and fell into huge chaos.
Some of them wanted to rush forward and fight for their lives, while others wanted to flee to the rear and sides to avoid the artillery fire of the red scarf thieves.
However, at such a close distance, any resistance and escape are in vain.
boom!
With a loud noise, the shotgun barrel in the barrel was shot out rapidly. Under the huge internal and external pressure difference, the shotgun shattered the constraints of the thin leather barrel and swept across the Yuan army array with a wide fan.
boom! !
A dense collision sounded in the Yuan army array, and swords and armor were unable to block the dense projectiles.
In an instant, dozens of Yuan soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
Some Yuan soldiers were not hit critically and fell to the ground wailing in pain.
