Outside the city, Kublai Khan saw the Mongolian army setting up artillery batteries and immediately regained his confidence.

For a small city like Pizhou, as long as one part of the city wall is broken down, it will definitely be impossible to hold on.

Wu Lianghatai said: "The Great Khan has sent people to urge us. Once Luoyang sends troops, we must quickly go south to cut off the connection between Kaifeng and the Southern Song Dynasty."

Kublai Khan nodded, high-spirited, "We don't have much time. But we still have plenty of time to conquer Pizhou."

"Your Majesty! After conquering Pizhou, what will you do if Zhao Tai is captured alive?" Wu Lianghatai said with a smile.

Kublai Khan glanced at the red dragon flag hunting on the city wall, and sneered again and again, "If Zhao Tai is captured alive, I will definitely let him taste all the suffering in the world, and will not let him die too happily!"

After hearing the conversation, Yang You couldn't help but shudder and began to worry about Zhao Tai again.

Judging from the current situation, the Mongolian army has set up an artillery group behind the low wall. It is difficult for the artillery group in Pizhou City to counterattack. Once the city wall is knocked down, there is no reason why the city will not be destroyed.

After all, there was a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, and the Mongolian army had an absolute advantage in combat strength and numbers.

At this time, at the top of Pizhou City, Li Chunzhu looked down for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want the artillery group to bombard you?"

Tang Liang said with a smile: "If Kublai Khan saw the rebuilt artillery group and it was destroyed by us, I don't know how he would feel."

"Haha~ The Mongolian army must have been shaken after seeing this!" Zhao Tai smiled and thought to himself, this Pizhou will become Gaoyou, and Kublai Khan will become Tuotuo.

Na Tuo Tuo commanded the kings and claimed to have millions of troops, but failed to conquer Gaoyou. The battle of Gaoyou also became a turning point in the peasant uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty.

After this battle, the Yuan Dynasty was unable to destroy the peasant army and could only watch them grow and develop.

Zhao Tai hoped that the Battle of Pizhou would also become a turning point, hoping that after this battle, Mongolia's momentum to move south could be stopped.

"Your Majesty! The Mongolian artillery group is about to bombard!" Li Chunzhu saw the throwing pole behind the low wall being pulled down, and knew that the Mongolian army began to load stone bullets.

Zhao Tai held on to the wall and quickly glanced outside the city, "The Thunderbolt is a sharp weapon and cannot be easily exposed to others. Once used, it must achieve frightening results. Pass the order, and the soldiers at the top of the city should pay attention to concealment, and the artillery group behind the city Load the Sky Thunder and wait for my command!"

"Here!" The generals immediately clasped their fists.

Li Chunzhu said: "Your Majesty, the cannon stone has no eyes, please come down to the city!"

Zhao Tai waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll take a look again!"

At this time, the Mongols had already set up a position outside the city, and the artillery groups behind the low wall had also been loaded.

Under the banner of Dahu, Kublai Khan decided not to wait any longer and waved his hand: "I have allowed Zhao Tai to live for more than ten days. Let's end it today!"

He waved his hand down, and the Mongolian army immediately blew the horn.

Behind the low wall, Zhang Rou heard the order and immediately waved the flag in her hand and shouted loudly: "Cannon group, fire!"

Suddenly, a spectacular scene appeared. Behind the low wall, hundreds of trebuchets swung their throwing poles at the same time. Nearly a hundred boulders rose into the air and roared towards Pizhou City.

"Bang bang bang!" There were loud noises, and hundreds of kilograms of stones hit the city wall. The wall was immediately dented, and dust, bricks and stones fell down.

The Mongolian army artillery truck fired one round, and the officer immediately roared. Behind each trebuchet, nearly a hundred people pulled the rope, pulled the throwing rod back, reset and reloaded, and then fired huge rocks towards the city head again...

As expected, Pizhou's city wall couldn't help but be beaten. It only took two rounds and it was already crumbling.

Under the banner of the Mongolian army, Kublai Khan saw that the city wall was dented and the bricks, stones and dust fell. He couldn't help laughing with satisfaction and said, "Keep smashing!"

On the city wall, a small number of defenders squatted behind the wall stacks, feeling the shaking of the city wall.

As soon as the boulder roared and hit the wall stack, it was completely destroyed. The splashed gravel smashed the soldiers hiding behind, causing their heads to be bruised and bleeding, and they fell to the ground wailing.

At this time, the soldiers from the medical camp immediately came over, carried the injured soldiers onto stretchers, and then hurriedly left the city wall.

Seeing this, Zhao Tai no longer persisted. Surrounded by guards, he went down the steps and hid behind the city wall with his subordinates.

The Mongolian artillery groups bombarded one after another, and the artillery stones hit like hailstones, but the artillery groups in the city did not fight back.

Under the banner of Dahu, Wu Lianghetai was a little confused, "Your Majesty, Zhao Tai's artillery group is more powerful than us, why don't you fire back?"

When Kublai Khan heard what he said, he was a little confused, but then he thought of a possibility, "It should be Zhang Rou who built a low wall under the city. It would be difficult for the artillery group in the city to destroy our artillery group even if it was counterattacked, so Zhao Tai wanted to save money." Cannons and rocks, wait until our army attacks, then launch another artillery bombardment!"

When a city is besieged, not only food will not be supplied, but military supplies will also be consumed quickly.

Although this cannon stone is made of stone, there should not be much in stock in Pizhou City, so one piece should be used less than the other.

Pizhou is located in a plain, and there are no rocks nearby that can be mined.

Many of the cannon stones fired by the Mongols were obtained by smashing nearby tombstones and demolishing people's houses.

The unscrupulous Hetai couldn't help laughing and said: "As soon as the city wall collapsed, the army swarmed up. Zhao Tai's artillery group fired only a few rounds, and the warriors had already rushed to the city! What effect did Zhao Tai's artillery fire have at that time!"

"Hahaha~" A group of Mongolian soldiers laughed when they heard this, but at this moment, a huge stone hit the city wall. After the wall dented inward, the bricks and stones peeled off, and the rammed earth inside collapsed instantly, sending up thick smoke and dust.

"It's collapsed! It's collapsed!" Under the flag, the Mongolian generals shouted excitedly.

When Kublai Khan saw the smoke and dust, his blood surged up. He decisively pulled out his scimitar and roared loudly, "Soldiers of Great Mongolia, charge at me!"

As soon as he gave the order, the Mongolian army arrayed in formation let out a roar like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and the Mongolian army arrays charged forward with their equipment.

At the top of Pizhou City, Li Chunzhu heard the noise, stuck his head out and looked down the city, and saw the Mongolian army rushing towards the city like a tide.

The Mongolian troops outside the city shouted and charged. Li Chunzhu looked around and saw that all he could see were human heads and huge siege equipment.

The Mongolian army was so ferocious that any veteran general who had experienced battles would be frightened. However, Li Chunzhu was very calm. When he saw the Mongolian army approaching, he quickly squatted down and ordered: "Go! Wave the flag to inform the king that the Mongols are attacking." Got it!"

At this time, Zhao Tai was sitting on the horse, and a large number of soldiers on the back of the city wall who were preparing to climb the city for defense crowded the steps and the back of the city wall.

Among the densely packed soldiers, hundreds of Pizhou cannons have been loaded. The black thunderbolt is lying quietly in the leather pocket. The gunner is standing aside with a torch, just waiting for an order to launch a fatal blow to the Mongolian army. .

"Your Majesty, the Mongols have begun to attack!" Tang Liang looked up and saw soldiers waving flags at the top of the city, reporting excitedly.

Zhao Tai raised his head and glanced up, then stood up immediately, held down his sword with one hand, and ordered: "The infantry will go up to the city to defend, and the artillery carriages will be in position! The cavalry is gathering in Wengcheng, ready to go out!"
