Chapter 1040: Shangjing, here I come!

On the blue sky, the sun poured down light and heat without hesitation, nourishing the world and everything. On the wall of the capital, Zhu Zhu held a spear and leaned against the wall of the city tower, half-squinted his eyes and basked the sun. He was a local from Shangjing. He was living a good life. He had several shops on the street at home, and he had been renting them to vendors to do business. With the rent of these rooms alone, he lived a leisurely life. Not to mention coming to the army, he didn't even have this idea. Of course,

He was not voluntarily now because he was arrested. Whenever he thought of the experience of being arrested, Zhu Zhu hated himself very much. If he didn't go out that day, didn't drink that drink or fight that one, nothing might happen. After the fight of the drunken fight, he was arrested by the street patrol constable and threw him into the prison without saying a word. Before he could come up with any way to clear the way, he and the prisoners were escorted out and entered the military camp under the escort of a group of soldiers.

Next, they became very straightforward and sent it to military uniforms, and they became soldiers like this.

It was not that I had thought of running away. Zhu Zhu was the first to run away. He was caught and whipped dozens of whips. He was honest.

The second person who escaped was broken on both legs and was dragged by a horse to parade back and forth in the military camp. By the time the patrols of several military camps were completed, the man had only half his life left.

The third one who escaped was a pair of brothers. After being caught, they fell off their heads in front of thousands of people in the camp.

After these incidents, Zhu Zhu completely stopped escaping. He was from Shangjing and could not run far away, and could not escape. He could only eat food and serve in the army. Fortunately, he finally got to know his family and finally got in touch with his father and mother. The family used the money and tried to get him out of the army. The money was used, but it didn't work at all. The final result was that Zhu Zhu became a small officer and had fifty soldiers under his command.

As a Shangjing native, Zhu Zhu had no idea about war. The only scenes of war were from the vivid stories of the storyteller in the teahouse in the old street. It was no big deal. Shangjing was so high, and the outside was dug by the old general Qin, and there was such a wide moat. The Northern Army had no wings and could it fly over.

The war seemed to be very far away from Zhu Zhu, but it seemed very close. However, now he is a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, it is already like this. At worst, it is just to find an opportunity to escape after fighting. Now it is not possible and it is easy to be caught back. Once the fight starts, the soldiers are in a panic and it will be much easier to escape.

With this idea in mind, Zhu Zhu always ate and slept, and lived a leisurely life. There is another advantage when he was in the army, that is, he could eat enough. Since Tongzhou fell a while ago, the grain in Shangjing has been controlled. There is a fixed amount of grain per person who can only buy a day, and that fixed amount is absolutely not enough. Fortunately, his family is still wealthy, and he still has some old foundation. His family is still not hungry for the time being, but he doesn't know how long this battle will take. If it lasts for a year or two, the family will be hungry sooner or later.

When Zhu Zhu couldn't sleep, he would think, how could Shangjing fight? Why could the old and powerful troops in Dayue not beat the rebels? In previous years, they were so powerful when they practiced military training!

He turned over and stretched his legs to make himself lie more comfortable. The sun was warm. Zhu Zhu thought to himself that it would be good if he kept doing this. He slept and slept every day. After coming out of the recruit camp for several months, he had grown several kilograms of meat. But the few months in the recruit camp were too bad. His butt would be kicked and swollen by those vicious veterans.

Even if Zhu Zhu was not determined, he knew that the situation must be very bad, because the army had begun to capture strong men on a large scale. If he was brought to the army because of a crime, he was thrown into prison and sent to the army with the murderers, thieves and others, now, as long as he is of the right age, he will ignore everything and be taken to the army.

I had been training in the recruit camp for several months. Now these soldiers were caught and sent out their clothes for a year. Twenty of them were stuffed into the army. When the commander said that if one of them dared to run away, he would ask himself first, grandma, this is really not a job. In order not to let these people escape, I also ripped off several whips.

The wall seemed to be shaking. Zhu Zhu raised his head and looked at the wall. He looked at it in surprise. He didn't notice anything unusual, so he leaned his head up again. When he leaned up, the feeling came again, and it was much stronger than before.

It was not an illusion, Zhu Zhu sat up slowly. There seemed to be a rumbling sound of muffled thunder in the sky, but the sky was still cloudless, and the sun was still hanging in the air. He stood up, and the vibration felt stronger and stronger, as if the entire city wall was shaking. Like Zhu Zhu, more and more soldiers on the city wall stood up and gathered before the battlements.

"Go back to your position and prepare for battle!" A hoarse roar came from the city tower. Zhu Zhu looked up and saw that it was Qin Gan, the commander of their battalion, an old guy over 50 years old. He heard that he was the head of the guard of the veteran general Qin Sheng. This time, the veteran Qin came out of the mountain again, and he was promoted from a lieutenant to a general, with thousands of people under his command under his command.

Seeing the new recruits looking at themselves stupidly or stretching their necks to look into the distance, Qin Deng couldn't help but feel short of breath. His cavalry was approaching rapidly from a distance. Judging from this scale, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of cavalry. At present, there are still those who can gather tens of thousands of cavalry on the land of Dayue, and who else can be there besides the one in the north.

He suddenly rang the jǐng bell. The melodious bell rang throughout the city wall. With the sound of the wind, the bells spread all the way from the city wall to the city and into the distance.

Amid Qin Gan's shouting, the soldiers in the city finally realized that the enemy was coming and the war was about to go. They panicked and their hands and feet were trembling. After all, Zhu Zhu stayed in the recruit camp for a while and became a small officer. At this time, he still had to be clearer. He picked up the spear in his hand and whipped the recruits like a headless flower fly beside him. "What a panic, push the crossbow out, push all the crossbows out, prepare to beat the stones, roll wood, move the feather arrows out, prepare to fight!"

The city was busy, and after a while, some order was restored. Zhu Zhu looked at the crossbows and raised his head, with a cold light on it. The crossbow arrows as thick as his arms were aimed at the distance. He felt a little calmer. He looked up at the city. There were people running everywhere on the streets. From time to time, people fell on the streets and had no time to get up. They were stepped on by the panicked crowd.

"God bless me, bless me, don't do anything at home!" Zhu Zhu prayed secretly in his heart. He pressed his hands on the wall, and he opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance.

On the horizon, a flag fluttering in the wind suddenly appeared. Under the sun, golden light shining, and the big flag was moving quickly, rushing towards the capital city. Behind the flag, a black line emerged.

Zhu Zhu saw clearly that it was a cavalry riding on a tall horse, holding a big flag with one hand and was running wildly. A huge wolf head on the flag made Zhu Zhu's heart tremble.

"Mengqi, Mengqi!" Zhu Zhu screamed in vain. For hundreds of years, Mengqi has never been to Shangjing, but the Mongolian Iron Cavalry is famous in Dayue and is famous in Shangjing.

The wolf-headed flag was rushing in the front, but immediately behind this flag was Jamuha's elite cavalry, and behind Jamuha was Yun Zhao's personal guard camp.

Malihan and Tuli brought nearly 30,000 cavalry to pursue Su Can, cooperated with Lucheng Camp Meng Yao and Ding Qiu to eliminate the last vital force of the Southern Dynasty. Yun Zhao brought Jamuha and Hu Zehua's Panshi Camp, Huo Zhenting's Sixth Battalion, and Zhou Guangyi's Seventh Battalion heading straight to the capital. Wang Qiang was sent back to Xingling, and Yao Changkuntong led the Fourth Battalion to ensure logistics for the army.

There is a moat that is dozens of meters wide outside the capital. Within 500 meters outside the moat, Qin Sheng was dug in a mess, and ditches were crisscrossed. From the beginning, Qin Sheng had no intention of leaving the city to fight with the opponent. Even if it was a night attack, he had never thought that the number of soldiers under his command was a large number of people, but not many of them could really take action. If he went out of the city to fight, he would die. Therefore, Qin Sheng did not leave any passage to the city. In this way, the opponent's attack would have no things to use. If those roads that seemed to be passages would go forward, they would find that it was a dead end, and they were completely shrouded in the dense attack range of crossbows on the city. Qin Sheng still had great experience in defending the city. This was also the only thing he could rely on.

The Meng cavalry shouted from far to near, and the cavalry holding a big flag in front was still far ahead and rushed until he could no longer advance. He slammed the horses. With the long neighing sound, the man stood up and rotated half a circle in place. The knight immediately bent down and exerted force with his arms. The wolf-headed flag was snatched and inserted it deeply on the ground. The flag fluttered, shining brightly in the sun. The blue wolf-headed wolf-headed teeth bared, and looked extremely fierce.

After planting the flag, the knight rode away. The Meng cavalry behind him rushed towards him and teams of cavalry interspersed and crossed, rushing endlessly, making Zhu Zhu and others dizzy.

"His grandmother, I saw our cavalry drills in Dayue a few years ago. The cavalry ran so neatly, with shiny armor and long spears. The more majestic the cavalry, how could they be? Why did these cavalry run in a mess and they couldn't see any formation!" A soldier on Zhu Zhu couldn't help but exclaim. "Wow, boss, look, that man just played with a pedal and hid!"

"Get out of your mother!" Zhu Zhu cursed angrily. The cavalry under the city looked very messy. He couldn't understand what the mystery was. However, he knew that these seemingly messy cavalry defeated the army of Dayue, which was the mighty Dayue cavalry that just now called the soldier.

"The Mongol army cavalry is unparalleled in the world, and it is indeed worthless!" Someone behind Qin Gan suddenly sighed and said.

Qin Dan turned around suddenly, but was surprised, "Elder General, you are here in person!"

"The jǐng bell rings here, how could I not come and see it?" Qin Sheng breathed, "Danzi, can you see any clues?"

Qin Dan nodded, "It seems to be messy, but in fact it is advancement in an orderly manner. When advancing and retreating, it is like using your arms to intertwining, without any chaotic collision. These cavalry are indeed much stronger than our Great Yue cavalry."

"They are demonstrating!" Qin Sheng said coldly.

"I'm afraid they're playing the piano against the cow!" Qin Gan laughed, "The old general, the fish under our command can understand them. I'm afraid they're still wondering whether the opponent is a group of mobs."

Qin Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard Qin dare to say something interesting, "But we have to rely on these mixed fish to defend the city!"

"No matter how powerful the cavalry is, it cannot be used to attack the city." Qin Gan said: "I haven't seen their infantry yet!"

"Lucheng Camp has gone to block Su Can, Panshi Camp, Sixth Battalion, Seventh Battalion, Hu Zehua, Zhou Guangyi, and Huo Zhenting are all famous!"

"The old general is much better than them. When you were the general, they were still new recruits!" Qin Gan said.

"A hero won't mention his courage back then." Qin Sheng shook his head, "I haven't been to the battlefield for decades, and I'm completely unfamiliar with how to fight this battle now. These people have been polishing on the battlefield for more than ten years. If they underestimate them, they will be out of the way, not to mention, the soldiers under our command can be very useful now. If the tiger guards gather together, I would still have the confidence to compete with them."

As the two were talking, a melodious sound of horns sounded under the city. With the sound of horns, the rushing Mongolian cavalry teams began to gather together in small groups, quickly formed a cavalry formation of about a thousand people, and then the back team turned into front teams, and the front team turned into back teams, and retreated neatly. The change was so rapid between the quiet movement. The horses were galloping just now, and the shouts of shouting and shouting resounded throughout the Meng cavalry under the city were already neatly and silent. Although hundreds of miles apart, the sound of thousands of horses lying on the ground can still be clearly heard.

If Zhu Zhu and others couldn't understand it before, but now everyone understood it, Zhu Zhu's face changed color, while the other soldiers around him had long been dissatisfied.

After the cavalry retreated for about hundreds of meters, they turned around again and faced the city wall.

One, two, three, four, five... Zhu Zhu stretched out his fingers and counted it. There were a total of fourteen such square formations. If one square formation, a thousand cavalry would be 14,000 cavalry.

Fourteen square formations were divided into two pieces, seven on one side. A clearing about 100 meters was left among the two large groups. From a distance, a black cavalry surged in turmoil. At the front of the black cavalry, a big cloud-like banner with a red-bottomed golden character waving in the wind. Alongside the big cloud-like banner was a big red-bottomed black hawk. This big flag was accompanied by the eagle-billed rock-horse bandits who had been rampant on the desert for decades.

This is Yun Zhao's personal guard camp. Compared with Mengqi, their riding skills are not inferior at all, but their equipment is far superior to Mengqi. They are all black armor and black cloaks, with longbows behind their backs, crossbows inserted by their legs, quivers hanging next to the saddle, and sabers inserted diagonally on the other side. Dozens of riders came in parallel, but they were not messed up at all, and the horse's hooves were raised almost at the same time and stepped down at the same time.

Through the space left by the Mengqi, the personal guard camp went straight to the wolf-headed flag that the Mengqi had previously inserted. A personal guard camp rushed forward, first inserted the cloud-shaped flag, and then inserted the red-bottomed black eagle flag. The three flags were blown by the wind.

The cavalry of the guard camp spread out to both sides, revealing the protagonist they were guarding in the middle. Yun Zhao rode out slowly on the thunderbolt. Beside him, Hongniang, who had not stepped onto the battlefield for several years, was accompanied by his side. The black armor tailored for him just outlined that Hongniang still had a girlish figure. He had practiced martial arts since childhood. Although he was already a mother of a child, Hongniang's figure was still not distorted. This time, she was stubbornly following Yunniang.

Yes, even saying that if Yun Zhao didn't bring her, she would ride alone one night and would come to Shangjing alone. Yun Zhao was deeply in the character of Hong Niangzi. This is a woman who would do it when she said it. She had no choice but to take her to the war. In fact, it would be fine if she came. At least Wu Fan could breathe a sigh of relief and take a good rest during the march. Anyone who wants to assassinate Yun Zhao or is not good for him must consider how to deal with such two world-class players.

The towering Shangjing City is right in front of you. Yun Zhao stared at this world's largest majestic city, worthy of being the capital of Dayue. Compared with the so-called majestic cities that Yun Zhao had seen before, this city really deserves the name of a majestic city in the world. The city walls that dozens of meters high are not neat rectangular, but protrude from a distance every other section. The irregular shape makes the entire city wall have no blind spots to attack. When the enemy is sieging the city, they will be hit from three directions at the same time. The towering city towers and prominent battlements will inevitably hide a fatal weapon inside.

But Yun Zhao didn't care about these things. No matter how strong the city wall was, there would be times when it was broken. There would be no city in the world that could not be broken. Now he has the confidence to win this world's number one city.

This is Yun Zhao's first time to come to Shangjing.

Looking at Shangjingcheng, he slowly raised Yi Shuihan in his hand, pointed the black blade halberd at Shangjingcheng Tower, and spit out a few words.

Shangjing, I'm here! It's been almost ten years since the day when he broke up with Qin Rouni and Yun Zhao made a great wish to dig up the Li Dynasty. He finally stood at the capital of Shangjing as he wished.

He roared and repeated loudly.

Around Yun Zhao, dozens of personal guards shouted in unison.

The soldiers of the three thousand personal guards shouted in unison.

Under the city, tens of thousands of Meng cavalry and soldiers of the personal guard camp shouted loudly, and the shouting was shaking the sky and the earth. This was Yun Zhao's oath.
