"My lords, it has been raining for days and the roads are muddy and difficult to transport. Only six red cannons have been transported to the city. They are now in position." The artilleryman ran in and bowed.
Wang Zongchu and Kang Huojian had grim expressions on their faces, and they hurried out towards the artillery position.
The red cannon was placed on a hillock, within range of the city wall. The gunners were calibrating their firing range. Wang Zongchu ordered the cannon commander, "Aim at the position on the wall where the person shouting insults is standing. Move quickly!"
The gunners did not dare to be negligent. Although their red cannons could not be calibrated accurately, five cannons were aimed at the position where Daher was sitting, and there would always be one cannon that could hit the target.
The gunners turned their guns and aimed at Daher. The Mongolian soldiers on the wall had already noticed something was wrong: "General Daher, the Song army is using mines down there."
Hearing the thunder, Daher jumped up from his chair. He stared at the dark muzzles of the five cannons below. The rumor of thunder cannons made Daher tremble with fear. However, curiosity overcame fear, and he even forgot to avoid it.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The bullets fired from five cannons whizzed onto the city wall, but one of the cannons eventually misfired.
"Boom!" There were several loud explosions in succession, and the area within several feet where Daher was standing was reduced to shattered pieces. Daher was blown into pieces.
