Then he attacked Xiangyang fiercely, and now he was attacked from both sides and was overwhelmed by these troops at any time. The documents asking for help flowed to the Lin'an court like snowflakes.

In addition to increasing material assistance and sending 5,000 elite troops to deploy on the No. 4 Highland, the court did not dare to make any major moves, and now it is not daring to have a decisive battle with Mongolia.

Finally, it was decided to send a navy to attack Zhang Shijie and help Xiangfan from the water. Their hope was tied to this because there was another heavyweight weapon on the ship.

One, one, one, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of shouting horns, several strong men raised the cannons to a high place through the fixed pulley. This was behind the city wall, and the house was turned against artillery towers.

This place is one meter taller than the city wall and one meter taller to have a better vision, and it cannot be too high. If it is too high, it will easily become a target in Mongolia.

These three artillery cannons are not too far from the city wall, and they are made of reinforced concrete.

Why do we need to mobilize artillery divisions to put behind the city wall? Because artillery is too important. To be precise, the gunner is too precious. It takes a lot of time to train talented soldiers to become qualified gunners.

So when arranged behind, the danger coefficient will be greatly reduced. Now Song Chen is also sending a signal to the court that artillery will become an independent military branch as soon as possible, and it is very important.

During this period, Song Chen and Qiu Yingying were not idle. They were either transporting cannons or on the way to transport cannons. The three artillery bases of Fancheng had nine cannons, all of which were the best artillery soldiers.

At this special time, Song Chen didn't mind being special, because not everyone can be the artillery.

After loading up, nine cannons were fired at the same time. Song Chen shot away at the Western City Wall, which was the most powerful attack. The Mongolian army there was more concentrated and defeated their offensive in an instant.

Seeing that the front was stable here, Song Chen and Qiu Yingying rushed to Xiangyang again. Now they cooperated very well, and high-altitude cannon transporting has become a scenic spot.

"Song Chen, what's wrong with you? Why do you always move cannons to Fancheng? We are not in a hurry here!" Lu Wenhuan now has no elegant demeanor. Since the Mongolian attacked Xiangyang the day before yesterday, the situation here has been very urgent.

"Isn't this coming?" Song Chen was slandering in his heart. The battle situation of nearly 20,000 defenders in Xiangyang was more critical than that of Fancheng, and he was also a famous general. Of course, he still had some selfishness, but he could never show it. "There are six more cannons coming here, and there will be nothing behind."

"What are six sects? This is not enough," Lu Wenhuan almost jumped up in an anxious mood. "Change me two sects from Fancheng and don't have six sects!"

"Master, how is this possible? Fancheng is also full of crisis!" Song Chen was not angry at Lu Wenhuan's actions at all. The more anxious he was now, it actually proved that he cared about the safety of Xiangyang.

Finally he finally let go, otherwise Qiu Yingying on the side would have moved, "Why are you still standing there? Go and transport the cannons!"

Song Chen was speechless. Lu Wenhuan was really interesting. If you were anxious, you were afraid that you would not be anxious. Song Chen grabbed Qiu Yingying who was about to go away and raised the hot air balloon again.

"Chenzi, why don't you use hot air balloons to transport large cannons?" Tianshan Tonglao chatted for a while while they could still hear each other talking. When they rose to a high altitude, they could not hear each other's conversation at all.

Both of them were very tired and didn't take a break, but they were still lucky to be with the robes of the city wall who were fighting with the Mongolian soldiers with their lives.

After all, after the rise, they can still take a nap on the hot air balloon during this period, but they just can't feel sleepy.

"You are talking about a 20-caliber cannon, which is 1,500 kilograms. How many times have you told you that the hot air balloon cannot be pulled, otherwise they will be installed on the cannon base now!" Of course, Song Chen knew that the current cannons of this weight should pay special attention to the issue of balance when installed on large ships.

If one end is heavy and the other is light, it is easy to capsize. Fortunately, Song Chen reminded them, so many problems were avoided.

When landing on the 4th Highland, the sergeants here were also familiar with it. They immediately hung the cannons on the hot air balloon with wire ropes. After they finished their meal, they could take it directly into the air.

It was also time for dinner, and someone immediately put two large bowls of rice on the hot air balloon and waited for it to be eaten after it was launched. It really didn't waste a second.

"Song Chen, what's the situation there? Can you guard it?" Now Su Liuyi is responsible for the defense of the No. 4 Highland, which is an important supply station. Su Dongpo's descendant is also a loyal and righteous man and a very responsible professional soldier.

"Both sides are doing their best, and it would be great if there were more troops!" Song Chen was also honest. He knew Su Liuyi's deeds, and he was a trustworthy person.

"The artillery is transported, and the people are transporting cement No. 1, and you will follow you!" Su Liuyi had the confidence, and a huge amount of materials had been accumulated in the No. 2 Highland.

The imperial court may not have the courage to have a decisive battle in Mongolia, but it is still very powerful in material support.

"It will definitely be the one who transports the people at that time. Maybe I will go directly to General!" Song Chen said jokingly.

"Of course I want to go, good luck!" Su Liuyi saw the hot air balloons take off and shouted the popular words in the army in the past few days. When he encountered hot air balloons taking off, he usually shouted this sentence.

"Good luck!" Song Chen returned, but said in his heart that he shouldn't have this, and it's not good to put the general in danger.

……………………

Zhang Shijie's ship drove downstream quickly. If he was not mistaken, the downstream had already started. Although there were artillery assists this time, there were many enemy ships, and this was their base, so this battle was not so easy to fight.

He tried hard to reconsider the water transportation line of Xiangfan City, and even if he temporarily gave up the water transportation line, he would come down to support the navy here.

There were a lot of rotten wooden boards floating on the water, and several boats collided. The two armies on the river were fighting, and now they were in a stalemate.

This time, Xia Gui led the navy, a veteran of the Song Dynasty and also a member of the Lu Group. He was biased against artillery.

When he encountered the enemy, due to insufficient preparation, he only fired two shots within the effective range. When he understood the power of the cannon, he had already contacted the enemy with close forces.

If the five-strategic shells can be executed according to the correct standards, it may be that the enemy ship will be in chaos and flee in panic.

Now that we are in close combat, we are attacking the enemy's strengths with our own shortcomings. The Mongolian soldiers are very brave in fighting, and even he has to admit this.

Fortunately, there was No. 1, who occasionally shot the people who boarded the ship, barely maintaining a stalemate.

The battle has been going on for most of the time, and more and more people are dying. Mongolian ships have the advantage in numbers. What should we do now?
