The little eunuch looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features and bright eyes.
Zhu Youde said: "Which palace bureau are you from?"
"Your Majesty, the younger one is from the Sutra Library and is responsible for your Majesty's study."
Zhu Youde nodded. He was the emperor. In order to avoid boredom during this expedition, he brought a lot of books with him. Naturally, someone needs to be responsible for this.
Seeing that the other party was young, I thought the old eunuchs were bullying him because they disliked the hard work.
"From now on, you will be my eunuch who will serve me specially."
Wang Zhonghou was greatly surprised. Look at the Emperor, Your Majesty, don't you want me anymore?
Zhu Youde rolled his eyes: "Wang Zhonghou, you are still the internal manager, so you should stop making such a sad expression and just follow me. But you are old, so let this..."
Zhu Youde was stuck, and the young eunuch quickly said: "Your Majesty, the young one's name is Huaiying!"
Huaiying!
Is your surname Di?
Zhu Youde nodded: "In the future, you will follow me and you won't have to go to the Sutra Library. Now I give you a task to safely send Lady Deng Yu away from the army. Do you understand?"
When he was talking, Zhu Youde glanced at Wang Zhonghou, and he was wary of you, a black-hearted person.
Huaiying nodded: "Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to my trust."
Only then did Deng Yu realize that she was unwilling to leave, but Huaiying gently held her elbow with one hand. Deng Yu suddenly turned around and looked at Huaiying in shock, "You..."
With a smile on his face, Huaiying pulled Deng Yu out of Zhu Youde's arms with great respect.
Deng Yu wanted to use the Qi in his body, but found that his Qi seemed to be fixed and motionless.
She is a martial arts master, which only means that this little eunuch's kung fu is more terrifying than she thought!
Wang Zhonghou also noticed something was wrong. As he watched eunuch Huaiying lead Deng Yu away, he and Zhu Youde said, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this Huaiying."
"You just know how to put in some effort, what's the problem?"
Wang Zhonghou didn't dare to speak anymore. Looking at Zhu Youde's smiling face, he was extremely shocked.
This person is from the emperor, and this master is from the emperor.
Zhu Youde didn't know that his casual words made Wang Zhonghou think too much. He looked at Xuzhou City and said calmly.
"Siege the city and show those people what the emperor's wrath is!"
"yes!"
Following Wang Zhonghou's order, the artillery battalion opened fire first, and a hundred cannons continued firing without any intention of stopping.
Zhu Youde said that he could not stop unless he said stop, and solid artillery shells hit the city wall of Xuzhou like rain.
Along with the artillery, the crossbow arrows in the sky started the rhythm of heavy rain.
Waves of crossbow arrows took away the heads of the Xuzhou army. After a while, the defenders on the original city wall were no longer visible. The Xuzhou city wall was also broken by more than three meters, leaving a huge gap.
The city was crowded, and the Xuzhou Army was already guarding the gap, preparing for a decisive battle with Zhu Youde's army.
"Childish! Stop the bombardment and prepare new troops."
The artillery stopped firing, and piles of new troops carrying firearms began to line up in front of the formation. At the front were shield soldiers who were specially used to protect the new troops from being hit by bows and arrows.
Thirty thousand new troops formed six lines and advanced towards the Broken City. When they were four hundred meters away from the opponent, the new troops stopped for a moment.
This is still outside the shooting range of bows and arrows. The current bows and arrows can only shoot two hundred meters at most. Strong generals can shoot farther. The only ones who want to shoot a thousand meters are the legendary eagle shooters.
But the Condor Shooter is one in a million.
Four hundred meters away, the new army began to reload bullets and then the whole army made a charging gesture. As the centurion drew his sword and swung forward, the new army began to sprint.
When we reached 300 meters, some bows and arrows had already fallen, but they were completely ineffective against the new army.
When they were two hundred meters away, the Xuzhou Army's crossbowmen could already be seen preparing. The new army suddenly stopped and lined up again.
Bang bang bang!
Smoke and heavy fog rose outside Xuzhou City, and Xuzhou Army soldiers fell quickly one by one.
The new army achieved good results in the first wave.
At this time, the soldiers in the inner city of Xuzhou quickly moved out of the way, and groups of cavalry rushed out from behind the infantry!
Zhu Youde said calmly: "Artillery support!"
The New Army was still two hundred meters away from the broken wall, enough for a wave of artillery fire.
"Hold on!"
The centurion leader of the new army began to shout, "The shield soldiers come forward! Wait until they get close before fighting, the cavalry is nothing to be afraid of!"
Deng Xing rushed out of the smoke with his cavalry. What Zhu Youde saw in the telescope were groups of cavalry wearing iron armor!
A kidnapping horse? Or a Trojan horse, Luke!
They turned out to be heavy cavalry in leather armor.
Xuzhou’s family background is very rich!
This was a bit beyond Zhu Youde's imagination. He looked back at his cavalry and it seemed that their equipment was not as good as theirs!
Wang Zhonghou was furious: "Your Majesty, they are the uniformed cavalry of Northern Yan. The uniforms on those cavalry must come from Northern Yan. People from Xuzhou have illicit connections with Yan."
It’s solid!
Zhu Youde is very calm. He is not surprised that Xuzhou is having an affair with the Yan State. Going further north from here is the territory of the Yan State.
Zhu Youde is concerned about another thing.
The cavalry of Yan State is the best in the world. It is said that there are 300,000 cavalry, so their cavalry are all heavy cavalry?
Then why bother playing? The pressure is so great, okay?
Three hundred thousand heavy cavalry is really difficult to defeat.
"Your Majesty, please let the new army retreat!"
"Retreat for what?" Zhu Youde said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. If you ruin the morale of our army, I will kill you first. How many uniformed cavalry does Yan have?"
"One hundred thousand!"
Zhu Youde breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been better if it wasn't 300,000 yuan.
Let's just say, even if he is so rich, he may not be able to raise 300,000 heavy cavalry. How can Yan State support him if he is so poor?
But one hundred thousand is still a lot.
But at the moment of the war, Zhu Youde couldn't be messy. He laughed and said: "This little cavalry is nothing. Let them see who is more powerful, the artillery or these heavy cavalry, and smash them to death!"
Wang Zhonghou quickly ordered: "Fire!"
Deng Xing's cavalry arrived outside the city and began to charge. Groups of cavalry slowly approached and adopted a dense formation!
The armor was deep in the cold, and more and more cavalry appeared at the break.
He felt that the new army could be defeated with just one charge. Deng Xing was excited, holding a long gun, and started to lead his troops.
The New Army has also prepared a defensive posture!
Ten thousand cavalrymen began to run, the ground began to shake, and the horses' hooves were like thunder.
At this moment, the solid bullets fell down one by one and smashed into the cavalry. The solid bullets hit the horse and immediately left a bloody hole. The fallen horse severely stumbled over the cavalry behind, causing the horse to flip over.
The new army also started shooting. At this time, there is no need to aim as long as the fire is successful!
But the armored cavalry was the armored cavalry. They stared at the cannonballs and rushed forward, and soon rushed into the new army. The huge impact of the horses made everyone fly.
For a moment, the battlefield seemed to be overwhelmed by cavalry.
Zhu Youde sighed, he was at a disadvantage because his muskets were not advanced enough, and then Zhu Youde ordered the cavalry to dispatch to welcome the new army.
After the cavalry came a large number of infantry and crossbowmen.
The new troops were fighting and retreating in the melee. After the 30,000 new troops withdrew, there were probably about 20,000 left!
Zhu Youde felt distressed for a while but then didn't feel it. Ci didn't control the troops, so the new army still suffered a lot against the heavy cavalry.
It would be great if there were machine guns and mortars. I'll spend some money on it when I get home!
As Zhu Youde sent out his army, Deng Xing and his cavalry turned around and wanted to run away.
