"You guys, why don't you send His Highness back quickly?"
At this time, Wu Xiang in front of him quickly said to the soldiers beside him.
"No!"
Zhu Cixiang said to Wu Xiang in front of him.
"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't stay to defend the city!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Wu Xiang in front of him calmly and said.
He knew very well how big the gap was between the people on the city walls of Beijing and Li Zicheng's army.
If morale is low, if Li Zicheng's army is defeated in one fell swoop, morale will collapse thousands of miles in an instant.
This was unacceptable to Zhu Cixi.
Therefore, he must go to the tower to cheer up the militiamen!
"Go to the tower!"
Zhu Cixiang said to the several Jinyi guards beside him.
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Wu Xiang's expression changed slightly. He looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said, "Your Highness, if you want to go up to the city tower, please wait a while! Chuangnii is shelling the city tower now. Go up now. If you are hit by a cannonball,
Hit..."
Wu Xiang hesitated and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"If you're afraid, you don't have to go!"
As he spoke, Zhu Cixi put on a golden armor under the costumes of some eunuchs and palace maids nearby.
"Hand out my flag and go to the tower!"
Zhu Cixiang said to Jin Yiwei next to him.
With that said, Zhu Cixiang strode towards the tower on the side. At this time, the sound of artillery fire almost rang in Zhu Cixiang's ears.
Looking at Zhu Cixi's back, Wu Xiang gritted his teeth and quickly followed him.
But Zhu Cixiang had no expression on his face, he knew it very well.
Now I am the last hope of the entire Ming Empire.
If you have any shortcomings, if your mood breaks down, the people under your command will probably disperse in an instant. If the people's hearts can be united, the city can still be defended. If the hearts of the people are in chaos, the city will collapse if it is not attacked!
Therefore, you must remain calm at all times.
Zhu Cixiang looked calm, listening to the sound of gunfire in his ears.
Slowly walked up to the tower.
Look at the militiamen hiding under the crenellations of the city wall.
Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly, and looked at the black army under the city tower, all of which had human heads. The intruders and soldiers rushed towards the city wall with siege equipment like a rainbow.
"Fellow soldiers! I am Zhu Cixiang, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Cixi walked to the tower and displayed his own princely flag.
Many militiamen hiding under the crenels raised their heads when they heard Zhu Cihong's voice and saw Zhu Cihong in front of them.
"I am with you all! Kill the intruders! Everyone has his own wealth! All those who died in battle are martyrs! The court will protect the families of martyrs!"
Zhu Cixiang shouted at the top of his lungs at the surrounding militiamen.
Even under the flames of war, Zhu Cixi's voice was still clearly audible. When the surrounding militiamen heard Zhu Cixi's voice, everyone mustered up their courage and continued to face the army of thieves.
At the same time that Zhu Cixi was flying his own flag to encourage the surrounding militiamen.
Under the city wall, Li Zicheng also saw the dragon flag displayed on the top of the city wall. His eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked Niu Jinxing on the side.
“Prime Minister, does this dragon flag belong to that old boy from Chongzhen??”
After Niu Jinxing looked at it for a while, he hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said.
"Your Majesty, this dragon flag should not be Chongzhen's dragon flag. It looks like the prince's dragon flag!"
"It belongs to his grandma. I thought that old boy from Chongzhen would have the guts to come up to the city wall, but I didn't expect that it actually belongs to his prince!"
Li Zicheng said angrily.
"Forget it, the prince is fine! Order the artillery to aim at the city gate tower! I must shoot down that Ming prince!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Seven or eight red cannons were all aimed at the city gate building, bombarding them continuously.
However, the accuracy of the red cannons of Li Zicheng's army was still not very good. When facing a siege and at such a long distance, these projectiles always hit the city wall halfway, and only a few projectiles barely hit it.
Arrive at the city gate tower.
"kill!"
Zhu Cixiang shouted to the other militiamen nearby.
On the city wall, several red cannons finally fired.
"Boom boom boom!"
Because these people only had temporary city walls and no skilled artillerymen. They had barely learned how to fire cannons and were unable to aim at the red cannons on the ground.
Basically just firing randomly.
But there were people everywhere on the ground. The cannons fired at will fell into Li Zicheng's military formation and killed dozens of people easily.
"His grandma! I thought Beijing would be easy to conquer, but I didn't expect that now, I've turned into a hedgehog!"
Li Zicheng's face looked a little ugly.
Originally, I thought that after wiping out some of the elite forces in the three surrounding camps, the city of Beijing would be happy to welcome Master Wang.
I didn’t expect to encounter such fierce resistance!
"Keep beating them hard! Where are the ladders? Put them all up! There are also archers! Shoot them to death!"
Li Zicheng shouted loudly to the soldiers on the side.
The overwhelming, dark soldiers rushed forward, and trebuchets and ladders began to press forward quickly.
The shouting of killing shook the sky!
Zhu Cixi looked at the grand scene of the ancient battlefield in front of him with some shock. A hint of fear arose in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed.
He knew that he could not be afraid, and he quickly realized that he was afraid, let alone the militiamen around him.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! Don't be afraid! Don't be chaotic! Maintain your own maintenance! Kill back! Aim at the ladders and siege tanks and fire!"
Zhu Cixiang pulled out Shang Fang's sword from his waist and said decisively to the surrounding militiamen.
"I am with you all! Kill!"
Zhu Cixiang shouted to the surrounding militiamen.
At this time, he could no longer care about the defense in other places. The attack at Deshengmen in front of him was obviously the most intense, because he was facing Li Zicheng!
Zhu Cixiang looked at Li Zicheng's banner in the thief's camp. Li Zicheng's logo on it made Zhu Cixiang understand who the opponent he was facing!
The army roared like a tsunami, and siege chariots and ladders were quickly lifted up and quickly approached the city wall.
Next to him, Wu Xiang calmly directed the soldiers around him to start a counterattack. He was slightly worried and glanced at the tower next to him.
Looking at the erected ladder, the soldiers guarding the city quickly began to throw rolling stones and logs. One by one, the intruder soldiers were killed by these rolling stones or fell from the ladder.
The intruder soldiers nearby quickly began to use various materials to lay some pontoons.
