In 1363 AD, the Red Scarf Army in Jiangbei retreated to Anfeng City. At this time, the Red Scarf Army in Jiangbei was reduced from the initial 400,000 to less than 200,000, and Anfeng City was surrounded by heavy Yuan soldiers on all sides.
At this time, Dakui was standing on the tower of Anfeng's north gate, covered in blood and holding a gun. There were only Yang Yonghuai and Feng Biao beside him. Now the soldiers on the city had been fighting with Yuan soldiers on the city wall for days, and they were already tired and staggering around and falling asleep on the ground. Dakui knew that there would be another
In half an hour, the Yuan soldiers would charge again. Taking advantage of this moment, he hoped that the red scarf soldiers could have a good rest, because the next battle would be more severe.
The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty attacked the city day and night regardless of casualties, with the goal of wiping out the Jiangbei Red Turban Army in one fell swoop. No one knew how long Anfeng could hold on, but Dakui knew that as long as he still had breath, he would fight to the end. Perhaps future generations will not
Zhang Dakui will be remembered, but the history of the Red Turban’s resistance to the Yuan Dynasty will not be erased. For the sake of China and the suffering of the people.
Looking at the dozen or so square formations of Yuan troops with tens of thousands of people under the city, and the endless Yuan army camps in the distance, Da Kui was not afraid. Marshal Liu once said: What is the joy of life, what is the fear of death? At this time, Da Kui's face
Although it was stained with blood, it was still full of perseverance. The horn sounded and the phalanx under the city moved.
The sleeping soldiers lying on the ground beside Dakui seemed to have their souls injected into them. Some of them stood up slowly with their hands on the wall or weapons. No one was afraid and no one flinched. They just pretended to be Yuan soldiers setting up ladders to climb the city with all their strength.
At that time, the red scarf soldiers on the four walls of Anfeng simultaneously let out a shocking cry: "Kill!". All the rolling wood and stones had been thrown, and the strong bows and crossbows had also been used up. But the flesh and blood of the red scarf martyrs and their
The surging blood in the body.
The hand-to-hand encounter began. Da Kui led Kai Kai and Feng Biao, each holding weapons a few feet apart to guard the city. The Yuan army archers under the city shot arrows like locusts at the city. From time to time, red scarf soldiers fell to the ground with arrows. As long as they didn't die,
These seriously injured red scarf soldiers crawled to the edge of the city and used their bodies as rolling logs to fall out of the city.
For a moment, there was a clanking sound of weapons clashing all around. Da Kui held an iron gun and smashed it horizontally and vertically, knocking down all the Yuan soldiers who climbed into the city wall in front of him. Dakui and Yang Yonghuai and Feng Biao each kept a few feet away. Yang Yonghuai was already carrying weapons at this time.
He was injured. The swing of the sword in his hand had slowed down. At this time, more than a dozen Yuan soldiers came up not far from the three of them. Feng Biao shouted: "I'll do it." After that, he rushed over and swung the sword to take the lead.
The soldiers fell to the ground, and the other Yuan soldiers wielded their scimitars and rushed towards Feng Biao. Feng Biao spread his sword skills to slash horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, and used a nine-ring golden sword like a wheel.
In the blink of an eye, five or six of the more than ten Yuan soldiers were cut down, and the remaining Yuan soldiers could not help but retreat in fear of its might. More and more Yuan soldiers continued to climb up the city. When Feng Biao saw it, he shouted loudly, raised his sword pole and rushed forward. Those who had not entered the city wall
Several Yuan soldiers were pushed down the city one after another before they could stand firmly.
The bloody battle at the top of the city was in a stalemate, and Yuan soldiers from outside the city were constantly entering the city. At this time, the reserves of the Red Scarf Army in the city were also constantly sending reinforcements to the city. For a while, the people on the city were crowded and fighting, and they were hacking face to face.
Both sides were fighting for their lives, and for a while the city became a see-saw situation, just to see which side could persist to the end.
During the battle, Dakui always paid attention to Yang Yonghuai from the corner of his eye, because Yang Yonghuai was at the end of his life. The four walls were guarded by Red Scarf Army generals, and only the north gate remained impregnable. The other three gates were seized by the Yuan army many times around noon today, and were again captured by the Yuan army.
The red scarf soldiers in the city risked their lives to recapture it.
These soldiers were all Dakui's old friends who drank and chatted with each other, and they were brothers who fought bloody battles together. When Jia San died in the battle outside Bianliang City, Dakui was as sad as a knife. Yang Yonghuai later advised him: Since you are serving on the battlefield, you must always wait
Prepare the horse-hide shroud.
In order to prevent Yang Yonghuai from encountering any unexpected events, Dakui carried two Yuan soldiers off the city wall and moved closer to Kaikai. Along the way, three or five Yuan soldiers lay beside him. When Dakui and Yang Yonghuai faced each other, Yang Yonghuai was already suffering from the pain.
Three stab wounds.
Dakui asked with concern: "Brother Yang, how are you?" Zhang Kai forced a smile and said: "No wonder you are a powerful general, you can endure the hard battle day and night, and you are still as vigorous as a tiger until now.
"Dakui stabbed a Yuan soldier with his spear and then laughed and said: "I have learned this through practice. Who told you to just read some military books and tactics without any care?" He paused and said:
"But I admire you very much. If it weren't for your thoughtfulness, I wouldn't be as powerful as I am now." Yang Yonghuai gasped: "If there was an afterlife, I would still be willing to fight against the enemy side by side with you."
Dakui said hurriedly: "Bah, bah, bah, you are saying depressing words. Neither of us will die." Yang Yonghuai laughed: "Since ancient times, earthen jars have been broken beside the well, and generals will inevitably die on the battlefield." Then Yang Yonghuai laughed.
With a sharp shout, he stabbed a Yuan soldier who rushed to him to the ground. The two of them stayed close to each other and faced the enemy side by side. They both remained silent and did not speak because they already had a tacit understanding.
At this time, five red scarf generals rushed up from the city along the city defense ladder. They fought straight to Dakui and Yang Yonghuai and said: "Two generals Zhang, the marshal asked me to come and replace the two generals, and asked the two generals to go to the central army.
Discussing matters, saying that we have something important to discuss." Upon hearing this, Da Kui turned around and picked up Yang Yonghuai, turned around and shouted: "Brother Feng, just resist for a while. We will go back." At this time, Feng Biao was fighting fiercely and had no time to reply. Da Kui
Carrying Yang Yonghuai down the city defense ladder, he went straight to the Chinese army.
Entering the Chinese military camp, Dakui hurriedly shouted: "Medical officer, medical officer, come and take care of General Yang." Upon hearing this, the medical officer rushed over early to check Yang Yonghuai's injury. He untied Yang Yonghuai's armor and bandaged the injured area. He said:
"Fortunately, General Yang's injury was not serious. It's okay."
After Yang Yonghuai's wounds were bandaged, Da Kui helped Yang Yong Huai into the Chinese army's tent. Inside the tent, Prime Minister Liu Futong was discussing military plans with several generals when he saw Da Kui coming in. Liu Fu said, "General Zhang is here just in time. I have something important to ask."
You agree." After saying this, he pulled Dakui out of the camp and came to a tent on the side. There were dozens of red scarf soldiers guarding the tent outside. When he entered the tent, he saw Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er sitting in the tent.
Dakui asked very puzzledly: "What's the matter, Prime Minister?" Liu Fu said: "Now Anfeng is surrounded on all sides. After a series of fierce battles, the number of red scarf soldiers and horses in the city is less than 100,000, and food and grass have been ordered. The Yuan army outside the city
But the number of soldiers and horses is no less than 500,000. It will be a matter of time before the city is defeated at this rate." Dakui gritted his teeth and said: "So what, the worst is to fight to the death."
Liu Futong consoled him: "Fighting head-on is not an option! A few months ago, I sent someone to ask Duke Wu Guogong of Jiangnan Province for help. Yuan soldiers will arrive soon. But King Xiao Ming is here, so I don't dare to take risks. I have a plan.
I've been asked to do this, I wonder if the general will agree?"
Dakui couldn't help but be stunned, knowing that since Prime Minister Liu said this, there must be something important.
