Chapter 147 Offensive and Defensive Battle
Zhu Di ignored him at all, took out the fire stick and blew it on, threw it into the turquoise pan, then picked up the torch beside him and lit it, waving it continuously.
Soon, a group of subordinates came from a distance, knelt on one knee and bowed with fists, "I will meet His Highness the King of Yan."
Zhu Di was so majestic, "Zhang Yu, go to the southeast corner gate immediately, bring the eight thousand iron cavalry on standby to open the city to fight, and implement it according to the original plan."
"I will obey the order!"
When the governor of Peking heard that he was about to leave the city, his heart was trembling. He didn't care why Zhu Di, who was confined, appeared here. He quickly advised, "Your Majesty, think twice, the most urgent thing is to defend the city, not attack the enemy.
!”
He doesn't understand military affairs, but he still knows common sense. It is thankless to defend the city and it is simple, labor-saving and effective. It is absolutely thankless to put a solid fortress without defending it and going out to fight.
"Your Highness, don't act irresponsible!"
Zhu Di's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he still ignored him and continued, "Zhu Neng, immediately summon the two guards on standby in the city to take over all the city defense matters."
"I will obey the order." Zhu Neng clasped his fists and hurriedly left.
"Zhang Wu."
"The last one will be there."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "After the two guards arrive, you will lead 3,000 people to be responsible for the supply of equipment to guard the city, and there shall be no delays."
"I will obey the order."
...
Zhu Di is like a born king, with the aura of the superior showing. At this moment, he has a style that he did not have in the past.
In just a quarter of an hour, Zhu Di issued more than 20 military orders in a row, each of which was clear and clear.
Seeing that he had finished the deployment, Li Qing sank the dantian and his voice was melodious, "Immediate!"
"Roll...!"
The turmeric oil pan was lit at once, and then the torch was lit, and from a distance it looked like a huge fire dragon hovering.
Li Qing's voice was clear: "Presist in the city wall and do not let the enemy step into the Great Wall. In half an hour, our reinforcements will arrive."
The governor of Peking looked at the two of them in a daze, and suddenly felt that he was just a fool.
At this moment, he still didn't understand. He was kept in the dark throughout the whole process, but he couldn't say anything. The border defense was greater than the sky, and even if the court was flooded, he had to give in to the border defense.
Nothing is as good as resisting the Yuan enemy. Even if Li Qing disobeys the will, he will not be punished at all.
Seeing the Yuan people getting closer and closer, he was not in the mood to care about this, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Emperor of Yan, the imperial envoy, look at the number of Yuan people's torches, there are no less than 30,000, or even more. Is this... Is it too late?
?”
If there is a city to defend, it will naturally have the advantage, but the Yuan people can attack one point. In addition, although the number of people in the three guards of the King of Yan is more than that of the other, it is spread all over the city, so it is not enough to see it.
What's more, eight thousand people were sent out.
He was really panicked. As the governor of Peking, military affairs were also within his responsibilities, but that was all logistics supply, responsible for assisting defense during wartime, and a big scene of real swords and guns. This is his first experience. Can you do it?
Nervous?
Zhu Di said lightly: "Put your heart in your stomach. I have been guarding the border for more than ten years. Have you ever let the Yuan people step into the Great Wall?
I have seen such a scene before. Look at your promising prospects, I will never delay you from celebrating the first day of the Lunar New Year!”
"Uh...yes, yes." The governor agreed embarrassedly, but his heart was upset.
Li Qing was secretly glad, but fortunately he didn't have the mentality of being lucky. Not only did the three guards make full preparations, but he also brought the King of Yan to the precautions.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Without Zhu Di here, even if all the three guards obeyed his imperial envoy's orders and devoted their lives to the fullest, Li Qing was not sure.
It’s not that you can become a general after seeing the battlefield twice.
Moreover, he went to war with the army these two times, once to surrender, and once to Lan Yu command the entire battle. When the war started, he did not play any role at all.
More importantly, this time it is to defend, not attack the enemy.
Li Qing estimated that even if Lan Yu came, he would probably not be as good as Zhu Di. Zhu Di had been guarding the border for more than ten years, and his experience and understanding of the enemy's siege were far beyond the reach of people.
It’s not that Lan Yu is not as good as Zhu Di, but that the two are good at different things.
Li Qing bowed and said, "Your Highness thinks, which city gate will the Yuan people attack?"
"Of course it is the largest gate under our feet." Zhu Di said decisively, "The Yuan people are all cavalry. With such a huge army, even if the small city gate is broken, they will not be able to open it. Instead, they will be easily cut off by us.
The turtle in the jar."
Zhu Di smiled faintly and said, "The biggest advantage of cavalry is mobility and unparalleled rush. If the horse cannot run, the cavalry's advantage will be gone. The city gate under our feet must be where they attack!"
As the enemy got closer, Zhu Di's eyes became brighter and brighter.
A quarter of an hour later, the Yuan army had only a few miles and it was clearer to see.
Li Qing's heart sank. The number of Yuan soldiers was much more than expected. Without 50,000 people, it was not much worse.
More than 50,000 people, all of them are middle-aged men. What does this mean?
You should know that the previous tribes that were devoted to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty were only thousands of, including the weak, women and children. Of course, they were small tribes, but even large tribes could not gather so young and strong.
Even though these people are just cooperative relationships, they may not be able to cooperate today and will not be unified tomorrow.
At this moment, Li Qing was even more convinced of Zhu Di's speculation that the Yuan people really had a trend towards unification.
This is definitely not a trivial matter!
It's approaching, it's approaching again...
Tens of thousands of troops came on the snow and got closer and closer. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the vanguard of the Yuan people arrived at the city.
However, when the Yuan people saw the soldiers on the city waiting for battle without any panic, the rainbow-like aura weakened a lot.
But at this time, they naturally would not retreat easily. Too many people died along the way. If they had nothing to gain, they would not know how many deaths would be on the way back.
A Yuan leader drew his scimitar and pointed directly at the city wall. In a short while, dense arrows attacked the city head.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..."
Arrows shot on the city wall and on the squarellis; they broke and flew away; at the same time, they also brought minor damage to the city wall. The surface of the bricks and stones was shot out with small potholes with fingernails, but they did not affect the solidity of the city wall at all.
Most of the Yuan people's attacks were useless, but some were effective. From time to time, Ming troops were shot and injured.
At the same time, the counterattack of the Ming army on the city also began, with catapults and cannons bombing towards the Yuan team, and the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides were about to break out.
A quarter of an hour later, the Yuan people's catapult car was also set up, throwing stones and burning objects into the city. Then, hundreds of Yuan people pushed the oversized rushing car nearly twenty meters, howling and rushing to the city gate.
"Dong!Dong!Dong…!"
The mallet hit the city gate, and every time it hit, it seemed to hit people's hearts.
Although the walls are strong and the city is thick, and the city gates are filled with stones, forming a stone wall, feeling the vibrations from under your feet is still terrifying.
The governor's heart was trembling and he felt very regretful of showing off his ability, but the imperial envoy was here. If he left now, his future career would be gone, and he would even be punished and punished.
My son, you must bless the Ming Dynasty and keep it... The governor looked ferocious.
"Dongdong...swhoosh...boomboosh...boomboosh...boomboosh..."
@#%...
Various sounds mixed together, forming a stunning sound, which is breathtaking.
...
The two sides gradually became frenzy, and the Yuan people threw out the ropes, boarded the ladder, and began to climb the city wall.
The Ming army in the city returned colors, stones, rolling wood, tincture oil... and poured down. The Yuan people were smashed to death, burned to death, and countless people were killed.
But as time went by, more and more Yuan people rushed to the city and fought with the Ming army.
As the city fought, the pressure of the Yuan people siege under the city suddenly decreased. While sieging the city with all their might, they climbed the city wall.
Seeing that it was about to enter a vicious cycle, the governor's calves were trembling and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, Lord Imperial Envoy, why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?"
"It's almost there, at most another quarter of an hour." Zhu Di was still calm, then pulled out his sword and rushed forward to fight with the Yuan people.
The governor's face turned green. If the King of Yan died on the city wall, he, as the governor, would have ended up doing it, and he would have to be buried with him if he might not do it.
"Your Highness..." The governor hugged Zhu Di's thigh and refused to let go. "Your Highness's daughter's body is not in danger? If you make a mistake, how can you defend this city?"
"Show it!" Zhu Di said angrily, "Everyone has been killed, so let me watch?"
As he said that, he kicked the governor away and ran dozens of meters away to fight with the Yuan people.
Li Qing did not dare to neglect and followed Zhu Di to kill him.
"Oh, my mother." The governor almost cried with his ankle in his arms, "I can't live a better life if one is an imperial envoy and a marquis, and the other is a vassal king."
Looking at the overall situation gradually losing control, he really wanted to say: Zi, please give me strength!
At the moment of life and death, what kind of learning and conspiracy are all useless, and on the battlefield, only strength is paid attention to.
The governor at this moment is not even as useful as a soldier.
There were shouts of killing everywhere, and people were dead all the time, which was beyond his reach, a scholar.
He wanted to escape, but he didn't dare. Gradually, the scholar's aura surged into his heart. He immediately wanted to follow the two big bosses to fight, but his hands and feet seemed to be stiff and he was not obedient at all.
Not to mention killing people, he has never even killed a chicken.
It can be overcome by emotions.
I had no choice but to cheer: "Stay, soldiers, you must keep it. Our follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon."
Chapter completed!
