"Prime Minister, you have to submit a letter to the emperor and ask the emperor to send Huihui cannons to reinforce us. As long as there is Huihui cannon, even if it is hit by stone, it will smash Lin'an." Tuluchi said regretfully: "This Zhao Qi is really dark. When we focus on the city, we actually give our Huihui cannons..." Fang Shi found that he shouldn't express his feelings, and subconsciously closed his mouth.

Looking back on that battle, I was so depressed. Not only did I lose the Huihui cannon, but even Boyan was almost busy. The Yuan army clearly broke into the city and ate it for the Song army. It was really hard to believe it.

He was right. Huihui cannons have always been the most advantageous weapon for siege in the hands of the Yuan army. It was precisely because of the help of Huihui cannons that the Yuan army captured the city without any disadvantages, and made rapid progress and quickly advanced to the city of Lin'an. If Huihui cannons were found, they would smash the city wall with stones like attacking Xiangyang. Although the Lin'an city wall was reinforced, it is hard to say whether it could still be solid in the face of thousands of hits.

He said this to the hearts of the generals and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Boyan glanced at Tuluchi and said slowly, "You don't have to worry. You are right. If there is a Huihui cannon, there will naturally be no problem in taking Lin'an City."

Alahan made his own suggestions, saying: "Prime Minister, it is necessary to submit the above statement. However, I think it is not appropriate to ask the emperor to send Hui Hui cannons to help. First, Hui Hui cannons are bulky and inconvenient to move. If they are transported from Dadu, it will take too much time to go, and time is the least we cannot lose. Every day, the Southern Dynasties will become stronger, and we must seize the time to take down Lin'an."

His words make sense. After several consecutive fights, the generals clearly felt that the Song army was different day by day. Not only did they have advanced weapons, but their combat power was getting stronger day by day. Moreover, there were more and more advanced weapons. If time was delayed, God knew that Li Jun would create some advanced weapons. Not to mention anything else, just Damascus swords, which had an almost sacred status in the hearts of the Mongols, were cut off by the Song army's swords.

The generals nodded and said, "Yes!"

Alahan glanced at the generals and then analyzed: "Besides, in order to facilitate rapid advancement, the emperor sent us all the Hui guns, and there was no inventory at all. Even if there was, there would not be too many, not enough for us to use."

What he said was also true. In order to strengthen the attack power of the Central Army, that is, the Boyan Army, and not to become dull when they reach Lin'an City, Kublai Khan not only gave reinforcements, but also transferred all the Hui artillery to him.

The generals were a little stunned and asked, "What should I do?"

"I mean, the Prime Minister wrote a letter to the emperor, asking Ava Lao Ding to come to the south, to source local materials from Jiangnan, and to make Huihua cannons. This way, it can save a lot of time." Alahan said with confidence.

Avaladin was one of the two artillery-making experts recruited by Kublai Khan from Persia. The other was Buber's father Yisimarin, who died of illness and his title was inherited by Buber. Buber had been captured by Li Jun alive, and now only Avaladin can come in handy.

The facts are very obvious. Ava Laoding is much more convenient than bringing a batch of Huihua cannons. The generals praised: "Good idea!"

"Your idea is good, Ava Laoding is here. However, what we need most is not the Huihua cannon, but the fire." Boyan agreed with Alahan's suggestion and said, "As long as there is enough fire, we can blow up the city wall again."

Boyan's words made the generals suddenly realize and said, "Yes."

Boyan continued, "With the fire, I decided to destroy all the city walls, so that our army can enter the city."

Tactically speaking, the wider the front, the more beneficial it is to the offensive side and the more unfavorable the defense side. If it is true as Boyan said, the steel crossbow cannot defend many gaps even if the firepower is dense.

Boyan said something so that the generals nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, that's really right."

Alahan's eyes shone and said, "Prime Minister, let's go and collect the fire."

"Is it that easy to collect?" Boyan sighed in his heart, and said without a sound on his face, "This is a must. I will write a letter to A Shu and ask him to collect a batch of fire for us to transport it."

Tuluchi blurted out and said, "Prime Minister, why bother to look far away?" The following words were glaring back at Alahan. The commander's tent was silent for a moment.

In order to collect fire, they tried their best to collect the fire. The reason was very simple, that is, the people in the occupied areas in the south of the Yangtze River were very uncooperative, and some even took up weapons to resist. The brutality of the Mongolian army was famous in history. The people of the Southern Song Dynasty had long heard of it. The people in the occupied areas were unwilling to surrender, rose up to resist, and organized many rebels.

Liu Hezi led his troops to the enemy's back and sent troops to organize and mobilize the people to recruit the rebels in the name of the court. Their power expanded rapidly and their strength increased greatly, and they continued to attack the Yuan army. The characteristic of guerrilla warfare was that each attack was not heavy enough, but it was very annoying and unbearable, because the number of attacks was as numerous as a cow's hair, and they were still everywhere. Maybe they could be attacked while going to the toilet.

Boyan collected fire yao twice and was destroyed by the people. It took a lot of effort to collect it. If he still had to collect it now, it would be hard to say how much it could be collected. Fire yao is not as good as other things. It is time-consuming and laborious to boil saltpeter. In addition, the people's uncooperation, so it is not known that it will be the year of the Monkey and Horse Month to collect enough fire yao. Instead, it is better to ask A Shu to help you quickly.

Boyan sighed with a rare sigh and said, "The war is up to this point, all the responsibility lies with me. I want to write a letter to apologize to the emperor. You must be very surprised. Why did the attack, which was originally smooth, suddenly become unsuccessful when it arrived in Lin'an?"

The generals did have this idea in their hearts, and looked at Boyan silently and waited for him to give the answer.

"The reason for this is actually very simple. It was caused by those three days. I shouldn't have accepted the corpse he sent back, and should attack decisively. Without these three days, he would not have been able to create enough steel crossbows, and he would not have been able to gain the upper hand in the first battle." Boyan regretted it once in his life.

Thinking of the scene when Li Jun returned the body to the Yuan army that day, the generals remained silent. At that time, they were afraid that Boyan would order an attack regardless of everything. The reason was very simple. The Mongols' Heaven Burial was one of the most important things about the welfare of future generations. If Boyan attacked directly, the soldiers would not be likely to execute orders, but they might cause trouble. In that case, they would not have to fall on them to suppress the soldiers, but they would still be the ones who were unlucky.

Boyan glanced at the generals majesticly and said, "I understand your feelings. Why did I pay this wrong at that time? Looking back now, I was so cruel that I paid 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, which was better than the ones that cannot advance or retreat now."
