Chapter 350 The Yuan Army sieges the city (east)
The battle for the city wall was extremely fierce from the beginning. The Yuan army relied on their new morale and launched a powerful offensive from the beginning.
"Well, it actually held up. That Ming army really shouldn't be underestimated." To the east of the city wall, Guantong Duan was walking on horseback. He looked a little surprised as he watched the Yuan army being forced east of the city wall by the Ming army bit by bit. Originally, he was looking at
He estimated that since they had just arrived and their morale was high, and there were only over 10,000 people in the enemy city, they would definitely be able to use Liquid Juice to directly crush the morale of the Ming army, and then attack the east city and capture the three Ming soldiers alive.
Lord Ting, return to the formation of Prime Minister Zuo...
"Lord Guantong, are they coming from the east?" Lieutenant General Nai'er Buhua asked Guantong.
"Well, withdraw your troops." Guan Tong set up a pavilion with his legs and watched the situation in the city. "If the three royal flags on the city tower hadn't moved, maybe they would have a chance. But from the looks of it now, they have no chance.
There won’t be a chance. Let the men cut down the trees and set up camp while it’s still dark.”
He glanced at Cheng Zai again: "Ming Yue, build the 'Return Cannon' and attack the city again."
"No." Nai'er nodded and asked someone to blow the horns to withdraw the troops. Master Guantong was right. If the royal flag in the city moved, then it might be possible to defeat the morale of the Ming army in one fell swoop.
.But after fighting for such a long time, Wang Qi still stood firm, indicating that the morale of the Ming army was not so easily shaken.
In this case, we can rely on Mingyue's "return cannon" to hit those royal flags and shake them.
"Yuan Gou has retreated!" The Ming soldiers cheered as the city wall stood.
Zhu Su put down the tea cup and took a peek. Sure enough, the Yuan army in the east of the city had begun to retreat like a tide.
After all, the city wall of Changli County was a little lower, and the fierce attack launched from the beginning really stunned Zhu Su and others. However, the morale of the Ming army did not collapse after all. In the past, it was not possible to rely on the advantage of the geographical location.
Little by little, the position where the city wall was was regained. If Zhang He or other Ming army generals were here, they would know that in any siege battle, Bubo would be able to attack the city. If not, the first contact would be inevitable.
If it was like a violent storm, it can be said that the military experience of Zhu Su and his party was not enough. Although they saw that Guantong did not set up the Eastern Army formation to attack the city directly, they did not expect that the first battle of the siege would be
It would be so dangerous.
According to his guess, he thought that the siege battle was just like the encounters in ordinary months. The first battle was just a tentative contact and would not be used with full strength from the beginning. However, it was such a conscious oversight.
He almost lost his leg to the Yuan army.
"Has the fire subsided?" Zhu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma, I didn't expect that drinking tea before the battle is not allowed! The smell of blood is so strong, it's hard to show off your calm look.
I pour tea into my mouth, and my stomach is full of water. I have to hold it in and stay in the hut..."
Even though Zhu Xi was not as knowledgeable as his two brothers, he still knew that the situation at that time was that the Ming army could only hold on with one breath. If it could not hold on, the city would be destroyed. At that time, it was obvious that his brothers could not
He was the external support in the hearts of the Ming army soldiers. If he had not rushed to the latrine at that time, one of the soldiers might have seen him and thought he could not withstand the pressure and ran away. The prince had already run away, and their little soldiers would have no morale.
?If we can't keep it all together, a group of people will lose their armor and remove their armor on the spot.
In response to Zhu Xi's complaint, Zhu Su felt his bulging belly and was convinced. He also did not expect that pretending to be Boyi while drinking tea before the battle was a job that could kill someone.
"I'm afraid I'll have to do that job for a few more months." Zhu Di was also a little frightened by Mingyue's battle situation. He had also seen that the confidence of the Ming army now depends entirely on his three brothers. If not, the brothers
The three of them were no longer on the city wall, and they were afraid that the Yuan army would attack the city in a moment. "Fifth brother, there is no other way. If I really have any strategy, I should use it as soon as possible."
"After all, the Yuan army has 50,000 elite troops, but the more than 10,000 people in his army are scattered here and there. If we don't go east like that, I'm afraid there will be long nights and many dreams."
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs." Zhu Su said with a wry smile. "Those months of strong attacks had to be pushed eastward. Only when Guantong felt that they could not be easily annihilated did he turn defeat into victory.
Method."
"It doesn't matter. In the past, Brother Wenzheng was able to hold on for eighty-five months under such circumstances. He doesn't believe that the three of them combined can't handle that mere 50,000 people."
The eldest brother Wenzheng Zhu Su mentioned was not Zhu Wenzheng. In the First Battle of Hongdu, Zhu Wenzheng used tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops to resist Chen Youliang's main force of 600,000, which lasted for eighty-five months and made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
.Zhu Su took Zhu Wenzheng's achievements in the past month as an example. Zhu Di and Zhu Xi were both in high spirits. With the jewels of his senior Zhu family in front of him, the mere 50,000 Yuan army in front of him seemed to have indeed become worthless.
Mentioned.
In the second month, the Yuan army, which had already set up camp, rolled out several ferocious-looking siege equipment. Zhu Su frowned when he saw it: "The Yuan army is so capable? Overnight, they actually built a
If he found something like that, he thought those barbarians would attack the city with ants!"
"The 'Hui Hui Cannon' was originally a tool for the Yuan army. With this stone cannon, the Yuan army traveled across the Western Continent in the past few months and conquered countless places in Europe and the West and many cities in the Song Dynasty." After all, it was not Zhu Di's fault.
He knew more about the history of war. Looking at the "trebuchets" outside the city, he misunderstood Zhu Su's popular science. Only then did Zhu Su know that in the past, the Yuan army across Europe and Asia did not just rely on cavalry and shooting.
The "return artillery" used to attack the city was not a good trick for the Yuan army.
"The accuracy of Bu Nao's shot was very poor. Normally, you don't need to worry about it." Zhu Di continued to explain.
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden "bang" sound, and the entire city tower suddenly shook. A huge stone directly cut off half of the city tower, and collapsed beams and wood chips flew everywhere.
"East of the Palace!" The Ming army at the city wall was shocked. Chang Mao, Di Meng and other generals rushed towards the half-collapsed city tower as if they were crazy.
"Everyone has his own position!" But in the dust, the not tall body of Zhu Su, the east of the fifth hall, gradually emerged from the dust. He heard the east of the hall shout: "The battle is about to begin, how can you leave without permission?"
Duty? If we admit that we are no match for those local chickens and dogs outside the city, we will be able to flee in the face of battle!"
"He and other brothers are not the sons of the True Dragon Emperor. They have their own heaven and earth and are blessed by the souls of the ancestors of China for thousands of years. How could they be injured by mere cannon stones?" He said, waving away the dust with a domineering attitude, and walked back to the chair in three or two steps.
You calmly poured a cup of tea from the table.
"..." Without the cover of the ceiling and walls, the Ming army in the east could see the figures of the Zhu brothers more clearly.
Seeing that Diandong was still calmly carrying away tea, the morale of the three armies was immediately boosted: "Oh! Wu Wang Diandong!"
"The east side of the hall is protected by the heroic souls of the Chinese ancestors, and they will be victorious and undefeated!"
"The emperor of the palace has armored soldiers on his chest! I beg you, the master of the palace, to see his backbone!"
"Just Yuan Gou, who are you trying to scare by setting up a few stone cannons? Come on! Let me see the legs of grandpas!"
"Lao Wu, it's really mine." Zhu Xi walked on the chair. When the boulder came flying, he was so frightened that he rolled away from the chair. At this time, he just got up from the ground. Fortunately, the dust was so heavy that no one was hit.
Saw. "His legs were so weak from the bluff. In that case, I can't believe that they are talking about it. Could it be that they just walked through the gate of hell!"
"How am I doing, Fourth?"
"He's about the same..." Zhu Di also had a look of disgrace on his face. "Although I wanted to get up and say something just now, my head was empty for a while and I didn't know how to boost morale. It's true that the fifth brother is so powerful that even Mount Tai collapsed before him without changing his color.
He was actually quite leisurely pouring tea and drinking it..."
"Hey, fifth brother, what's wrong with me?" He was surprised to find that Zhu Laowu's face looked the color of pig liver at this time.
"Bah...bah, bah, why don't you hide your weakness in your legs? You want to go away and drink a bowl of tea to calm down the shock, but you don't expect that the tea is all filled with dirt...it killed him!" Zhu Su vomited to the ground crazily.
Drool. "Grandma, damn Yuan Gou, he hit it so accurately... If they stay there, they won't shoot them again and just take away their liquid tea, right?"
