698 100,000 troops
"Quickly mobilize troops from all over the country to enter Beijing to protect the safety of the saint!"
Zheng Fang, who received the news, calmed down, and then gave an order to Ji Jian.
Although the guards of the imperial city and the capital are strong, they are still not good in front of the army, after all, the gap in numbers is there, not to mention that in front of heavy weapons, even an elite like the Holy Sword may be killed by an ordinary soldier pressing the switch.
In front of a real army, only the army can contend with it, and a small range of elites has the most influence, but it is absolutely impossible to guide the direction of the war.
The order was given, Zheng Fang hurried into the palace to face the saint, the saint at this moment was in a hurry above the court, obviously, the news of the army mutiny, the saint had also known.
"Internal and external troubles, really internal and external troubles!"
Seeing Zheng Fang, the saint shook his head and couldn't stop sighing.
was assassinated two days ago, and until now the culprit of the leak has not been found, how long has it been, there has been a chaos of army mutiny, so if it goes on, when will his Great Yuan Dynasty be peaceful???
"The saint is a little restless, the army mutinied, and he has been planning for a long time, and the problem can only be investigated later, and the top priority is to solve the chaos in front of him first. ”
Zheng Fang comforted the saint and advised.
"Well, with the current garrison of the capital, can it withstand the invading enemy?"
As soon as Zheng Fang reminded him, the saint reacted, now is indeed not the time to say this, and immediately asked Zheng Fang.
"The enemy army is large, totaling 100,000 people, and has surrounded the capital from all over the surrounding areas, and the existing garrison force can only defend the city and wait for reinforcements. ”
Although he had just received the news, Zheng Fang still had some understanding of the approximate number of the other party.
"100,000??? there are so many rebels in my Great Yuan Dynasty???"
Hearing this number, even the saint couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and now the Great Yuan Dynasty is politically connected and united, he really can't understand why there are so many rebels???
"The details of this matter are not known yet, but there are no elite troops among these rebels, and they mainly rely on strong combat strength composed of numbers and heavy weapons. ”
Zheng Fang's judgment of the enemy army was very accurate, and 100,000 people were indeed enough to form a battle
The fighting power is also very large, but it is also true that it lacks high-end combat power.
"Let's set up first, and when they come, I will ask why you are treasoning!"
The calm Dayuan pilgrims regained their former vigor and asked Zheng Fang to command all the defensive forces in the capital, and he gathered his ministers to discuss the matter.
After receiving the order to leave, Zheng Fang quickly distributed the troops in his hands throughout the capital in the most secure way, and at the same time sent all the holy swords left in the capital to the most critical positions.
The state of emergency in the capital immediately caused panic among the people, and for a time there were many people who wanted to participate in the operation of defending the city, but as ordinary people, their combat effectiveness was really limited, and they could not provide much help except for logistics.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the army was killed outside the city, although the preparations had been done, but there were still shortcomings, Zheng Fang, who was standing at the head of the city and commanding, frowned.
"Zheng Fang, you support your own army and threaten the saint, today we are here to eradicate you, a traitorous minister, to clear the king's side!"
When the other party arrived in the city, he shouted directly at Zheng Fang, and the people's hearts were in a commotion for a while.
Zheng Fang also did not expect that the reason for their rebellion and sending troops was actually this! It can be seen that these people are not as simple as a simple rebellion.
"The saint is in the palace, but you are here to bewitch the people!"
"Not to mention the rebellion, but also to put the charges on the heads of the saint and me, it is simply disloyal and unjust!"
Zheng Fang opened his mouth to refute these rebellious ministers and thieves, similar to the statement of the Qing monarch, it may be able to fool some low-level soldiers, but because of this, let them all rebel, it is not enough.
Behind these people, there must be some forces at work, but it is unknown whether they are inside or outside the Great Yuan Dynasty.
"Hmph! Zheng Fang, don't quibble! Today's soldiers are coming to the city, and you and other traitors will definitely die!"
The other party shouted again, and never spoke again, and at the same time, the rebels outside the city also began to set up siege equipment and heavy weapons.
Knowing that the other party was about to attack the city, Zheng Fang dispatched troops.
In front of the battle, Zheng Fang could clearly see the weak links in the opponent's use of troops.
In view of those weak links, as well as the weakness of their lack of high-end combat power, Zheng Fang is extremely strong
Targeted deployment of their own army, not to mention anything else, their first wave of siege, even if they are now short of manpower, Zheng Fang is 100% sure to retreat.
Both sides were in good gear, and the artillery attack of the other side began.
The walls of the capital have all been specially reinforced, and even have a complete system of defensive artillery, these cannons can indeed have the effect of suppressing the defenders of the capital, but the actual damage is not great.
As for whether or not the city wall can be blasted, it is basically equivalent to saying that it is a fool's dream.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Bang ......"
Three consecutive rounds of artillery attacks opened the prelude to this battle for the defense of the capital.
Zheng Fang and his subordinates, after the artillery fire stopped, came out of the defensive tunnels and waited for their siege.
Although Zheng Fang did not have many troops at his disposal, fortunately, the quality of the soldiers was generally higher than that of the other party, and in order to defend the city, the saint was sent out along with his palace guards, which shows the saint's determination to defend the city.
After the artillery fire, the equipment that was convenient for the use of siege equipment came towards the city wall, calculated the distance, and Zheng Fang also returned fire with artillery.
In fact, if Zheng Fang had enough ammunition in his hands, he could inflict great damage on the rebels in this wave as they approached, but the artillery and ammunition left behind in the capital were limited.
In order to prevent the rebels from ambushing in other directions, it was impossible for Zheng to concentrate all the rocket artillery on this side, which directly led to a lack of firepower on the front line.
The first wave of Zheng Fang's artillery attacks, although they caused substantial damage to the opponent, the damage was really limited and could not change the entire battle situation.
The armored siege equipment was put on the city wall one by one, and at this moment, the corner of Zheng Fang's mouth sneered.
Zheng Fang was very familiar with the siege equipment they used, which was a weapon of the Great Yuan Dynasty that he participated in designing and manufacturing.
It has many advantages, but it has a fatal weakness, which happens to be high-end combat power.
When Zheng Fang originally designed it, he took this shortcoming to do it, after all, Zheng Fang has no shortage of high-end combat power, and it is undoubtedly the most correct choice for the Great Yuan Dynasty to give up this one in exchange for other advantages.
"Everyone's in place!"
