Chapter 411(1/2)
You don't do this, someone else will do it
By late November, the government troops outside the city had actually left 100,000, and only 400,000 remained.
At this time, the ditch walls outside the city were basically perfected, and it was almost impossible for the rebels to rush out.
Zhu Gaoxu ordered the siege and the sulphur bombs began to take the field.
Zhu Di had received news that Yongping City had been broken, and he made various preparations. He did not pile up the walls, but only water and sand.
But despite this, Zhu Gaoxu gathered all the catapults this time, with 200 trenchers, and there were storms and fires on the city.
It was not attacked on the first day, but the city of Peiping also suffered heavy losses. Many kerosene bombs were thrown into the city and burned everywhere.
Before the city was sieged the next day, Yuan Gong was put down from the city wall and came to negotiate with Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to laugh after hearing this, but he also wanted to know what Zhu Di had to do: "Let him come."
He soon met Yuan Gong.
"Meet the King of Han." Yuan Gong said calmly after coming in.
Hiss, Yuan Gong's face changed drastically.
"Go." Na Hua waved his hand heavily.
"You eleven breaths."
The cannon is of no use, and the trencher doesn't have so much hot oil for him to use.
And above the inside of the shield, a short axe and a blowing arrow were embedded.
You must climb up quickly, don’t hesitate, don’t look up at it.
At this time, Yuan Gong wanted to speak but stopped. Zhu Di saw something: "What else do you have to say?"
Therefore, if you want to be an emperor, you must first be thick-skinned. If you want to succeed in your career, you must be thick-skinned.
After he made a blowing move on his mouth.
"This beast." Zhu Di was furious again.
He glared at Zhu Gaoxu for a while before stammering: "Are you-you--you-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as the official army attacked Beiping City, a large number of chieftain soldiers gathered at the city of Tongzhou not far from Beiping.
There are no stopwatches in this era. Most of them are estimated to be gross estimates, and there must be errors, but if you really climb slowly, you can see from the comparison with other ladders on the side.
Yuan Gong was overjoyed when he heard this: "King of Han, please issue an order first."
But no matter what he thought, he was still worried and did not dare to let Xue Lu and others get close.
Someone climbed up one after another, and they all had a very fast speed.
In addition, a layer of fire washing cloth was pasted on the outermost side of their armor to prevent fire and scalds.
Yuan Gong really didn't want to say that he was afraid of being deceived by Zhu Gaoxu, and he was afraid that this would happen.
He said he was willing to surrender and then abdicated the throne. Zhu Gaoxu asked him to lead his troops north into the grassland in the name of the emperor. He took tens of thousands of brothers to leave the Central Plains to help fight Mongolia, and never return to the Central Plains in the future.
The one said I twisted my foot and didn't step on it well, so I won't do it next time.
Then the two looked at each other and looked at each other.
"If I win, I will be wise, and if I lose, I will be shameless."
Of course, Yuan Gong knew that Zhu Gaoxu was more shameless than Zhu Di. If he had to believe his words, even a sow could climb a tree, he had to issue an order first.
The chieftain soldiers raised their left hands one after another and shook them with their right hands.
The rebellious son is so shameless.
Then he flipped the spot and jumped down.
"I, Yuan Gong, will not be as you wish." Yuan Gong said sternly.
Zhu Gaoxu was also under the city now. After two days of fighting, he knew that it was not easy to fight in Beiping City, so he must rely on Ant Support.
"Prepare."
Wow, everyone came to the bottom of the cloud ladder. They tied their shields with their left hand, swords behind their waists, and grabbed the cloud ladder with both backs.
Sudden.
This time, Zhu Gaoxu proposed to replace the people, using the captured civil and military officials and other civil and military officials to exchange for the surrendered families.
He had more than 200 trenchers every day, and he didn't know how much hot oil he had to throw. He had to throw it down every day, and the entire Ming Dynasty was not enough for him.
Zhu Gaoxu was also amused. My father is really thick-skinned, but if he is not thick-skinned, he will not succeed.
Zhu Di felt even more annoyed.
"Look at the helmet." Nahua called again.
If there are gasoline from later generations or unlimited amounts of hot turbulent oil, Zhu Gaoxu is still more confident.
After the first round, the top five people who climbed the ladder were cheering, while the rest of the people who didn't climb were scolding, saying, "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So
Twenty cloud ladders, each team of 100 people, and the top five of them all climbed the cloud ladders first, each of whom was rewarded with one tael of silver and one pound of white sugar.
"Twelve Breaths."
Yuan Gong was shocked and scared, stunned.
This is a specially created double-edged sword, abandoning the usual swords used by the Ming army, which are about one meter long and are used for melee combat.
This is also the newly built siege force Zhu Gaoxu has built since he entered the capital last year.
The whole process was fast and urgent, like a monkey.
Yuan Gong's face turned red and didn't know what to say later.
They were wearing the most elite Ming army armor, and there was also a layer of dark armor (cotton armor).
Zhu Di is really thick-skinned.
Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: "Although I am not his biological child, I have the kindness of raising me and don't want to be aggressive. He just keeps his word and surrenders and opens the door. I, as he wishes."
This time, cotton armor was unique to the Ming army in the north. Zhu Gaoxu found a group of new ones after conquering Yongping, Shanhaiguan and other places.
The city walls of Tongzhou are also quite tall, about one meter shorter than Beiping City.
Yuan Gong returned to the city, and Zhu Di was furious again after hearing this, forcing him to fight to the death.
"It is better for the King of Han to issue an order first."
At this time, twenty cloud ladders were erected under the city, and twenty rows of tomb soldiers were divided behind the cloud ladder.
Yuan Gong became even more frightened.
Everyone touched their helmets.
Is this discord or is it true?
Now it seems that it will be up to the ant in the end.
Wait, if you don’t do it, will others do it?
After wearing such a helmet, even if hot water and hot oil are poured on it, it can flow to the shoulders and it is impossible to leak into the collar of the neck.
There are also a large amount of cotton velvet stuff in the helmet to prevent the impact of huge rocks and wood, causing severe damage to the head.
"..." Yuan Gong looked at him in disbelief.
"It's better for him to open the door first."
"You ask Zhu Di to open the door and surrender first."
Yuan Gong said at the end: "Your Majesty finally said, please tell me Gao Xu, I swear to the sky and never return to the Central Plains in the future."
In the afternoon of the same day, he summoned the generals to discuss matters, especially looking at Xue Lu and others who had just been exchanged, looking left and right, feeling that everyone would betray him.
He actually wanted to let Yuan Gong stab himself in the back with a knife.
When Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang, he was not very shameless.
"Tongzhou City is three to two meters high (about ten meters). Ten breaths are better than when going up, twelve breaths are the order. Those who are fifteen breaths are unqualified. Have you heard that?" Na Hua shouted loudly.
"Hahaha." There was a burst of laughter around, but Yuan Gong still looked calm and had a natural expression.
The next day, the siege continued, and only part of Zhu Gaoxu's trencher was throwing stones and a small number of tinder bombs were throwing.
They had been training in the capital for several months before, and the Ant Attachment attacked the city. The most important thing is not to be afraid of death and speed.
"Bold." There were angrily scolding around.
On their left arm, a wooden shield with iron-covered covering about forty centimeters wide and about sixty centimeters long was fixed.
"Here" the audience answered.
These twenty teams of chieftain soldiers, each with one hundred people, totaling two thousand people, can be said to have been armed to the teeth.
He shook his head desperately and secretly reminded himself not to be fooled, not to be fooled, the rebellious son was cunning, and he did this on purpose.
Wow, the first local soldier rushed up like a monkey, with an extremely fast speed, and he didn't even look at it or stop.
To be continued...
