Chapter 420 His Royal Highness! Liaocheng is urgent!
Some explosive packets fell directly next to the soldiers, and the Qing soldiers who were very close were directly blown to pieces by the gunpowder.
No bones left!
The Qing soldiers around them looked frightened, but now they had no choice but to rush forward.
There was a team of supervisors watching them from behind.
If they dare not to charge, those supervising teams behind are not vegetarians!
On the ladder, Qing soldiers climbed towards the city wall like tigers and wolves.
At this time, no one dares not to work hard, but at this time, working hard seems to have little meaning!
The fierce fire oil was thrown down again.
The flames quickly engulfed some more ladders and took away the lives of many soldiers.
The scope of the flames this time was not large, and it was mainly the ladders. Wu Di also figured out that if he wanted to defend the city, he must burn these ladders specifically for such critical things as fire oil.
Because these ladders cannot be cut off casually with swords. If the ladders are not cut off, the Qing army will continue to climb up the city wall. By then, any defense line will be a joke.
Fire oil should be used specifically to burn these ladders!
"Wu Zong has figured it out!"
Hong Chengchou looked at the soldiers attacking the city in the distance with an expressionless face.
"Notice, the logistics will be in the surrounding mountains and forests immediately. Hurry up and cut down the trees and make ladders! Be quick! The sooner, the better!"
Hong Chengchou ordered to the bodyguards beside him.
Duduo on the side glanced at Hong Chengchou in front of him.
The siege continued into the evening, very late.
"Retract your troops first!"
Hong Chengchou sighed slightly. He knew that the chance to capture Liaocheng by taking advantage of the opportunity was gone.
Unexpectedly, although there were only some militiamen on the city wall, their resilience far exceeded Hong Chengchou's expectations.
This reminded him of the time when he was in Guan County, and there were some mud-legged soldiers on top of the city wall.
Their resilience is also very sufficient.
Why on earth???
A trace of doubt flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes.
I have never seen such resilience in the soldiers before, not to mention the common people!
During the war, he relied entirely on the elite servants around him and his immediate elite.
Without those, your soldiers will surely collapse!
But Wu Yan on the city wall did not have these, and he was still a civil servant who had never fought in a war!
Why???
Hong Chengchou's face didn't look very good.
"Your Majesty, let the soldiers eat and take a good rest!"
Hong Chengchou sighed slightly and said to Duduo who was standing aside.
Dodo nodded.
"good!"
There was no other way. After many days of traveling and the capture of Guan County in the afternoon, these soldiers had already exhausted too much energy, and they had just attacked Liaocheng.
After all, they are all humans, not machines. If you don't cultivate yourself, your status may plummet, and you may even be unable to fight again!
Hong Chengchou did this not because he cared about his soldiers, but because he was really thinking about how to win the battle!
It is indeed no longer a good time to fight!
Dodo also understands this truth!
Soon, the Qing army ordered gold.
By now it was getting dark, and torches were already lit on the city walls.
Seeing the Qing soldiers under the city wall receding like a tide, the militiamen on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, with the joy of surviving the disaster in their eyes.
There was not much joy on Wu Dong's face, but he could still breathe a sigh of relief.
His eyes were still full of worry.
"Thank you for your luck!"
Wu Di bowed deeply to the soldiers around him.
"Master Wu, please don't try to hurt us!"
"Mr. Wu Ge, this is what we should do!"
"Yes, Mr. Wu..."
…………
The surrounding soldiers all hurriedly said to Wu Di in front of them.
At this time, Wu Di said to the surrounding soldiers: "Without you, this city will be destroyed and I will die. I should thank you! By the way, the meals are already prepared!"
With that said, the quartermaster next to him quickly asked some of the boys around to bring up buckets of white rice and stewed meat!
The lid of the barrel was opened, and the aroma of meat quickly wafted out. When the surrounding militiamen smelled this attractive aroma, their eyes widened, and the irritation from the corners of their mouths continued to flow out.
Wu Di looked at the scene in front of him, smiled, and said to the surrounding militiamen: "Everyone, wait a moment, open up and eat, there is plenty! Just don't fill your stomach! You are all the heroes of Liaocheng! It's the Ming Dynasty.
hero!"
Soon, the surrounding militiamen quickly picked up the bowls and chopsticks next to them, and one person had a large bowl full of rice and stew.
He started eating with a smile on his face.
Wu Di looked at this scene with a smile on his face. He picked up a bowl, filled himself a large bowl, and sat next to the surrounding militiamen to eat together.
The surrounding housekeepers of the Wu Mansion looked at the scene in front of them, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes. They wanted to say something, but in the end they could only show a look of helplessness on their faces.
He knew that his master had this temper. If he tried to stop his master from doing this, he might even scold him!
After thinking for a while, the housekeeper shook his head helplessly.
At this time, Qingzhou Prefecture.
"Dongchang Prefecture is eight hundred miles away, urgent!"
“Expedited for eight hundred miles to Dongchang Prefecture!!!”
A group of horses quickly rushed into the city gate. The soldiers who were about to stop the horses at the city gate heard this and took a look at Tan Ma's clothes, and quickly started to help him clear the way.
Tan Ma quickly rushed into the city.
It was already night at this time, but Qingzhou had a lot of business with foreign countries.
Qingzhou is now much more developed than before, especially in terms of commerce. Qingzhou is also brightly lit at night.
Tan Ma shouted this on the street, and someone soon led him to the emergency exit.
But those people shopping on the street still heard the sound.
Everyone was talking a lot.
"Expedited at 800 miles from Dongchang Prefecture?? What happened??"
"I don't know! Dongchang Mansion is already inside, what can happen? But from the looks of it, it's quite urgent!"
…………
Soon, Tan Ma was introduced to the Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Cixiang hasn't slept yet, although he has almost finished most of today's official documents.
But he is still thinking about the blueprint for future development.
He was informed by Eunuch Li and hurried to the imperial study room.
"What's going on???"
Zhu Cixiang asked with a serious face towards Tan Ma in front of him.
With a sad look in Tanma's eyes, he said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "Liaocheng is in danger! At ten o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of Qing troops suddenly appeared in Guan County to attack Guan County! Before I came, one hundred thousand Qing troops had already arrived in Liaocheng! Now!
