On April 24, 1363, early the second day after Ah Xiu arrived in Hongdu, Chen Youliang's army was officially assembled and began to attack the city.

Ah Xiu pretended to be a personal soldier and followed behind Deng Yu, Zhu Wenzheng was too respectful and concerned about Ah Xiu, so he couldn't help but be suspicious, so it was better to follow Deng Yu.

Ah Xiu probed his brain and looked down, and immediately retracted his little head, muttering in shock: Good girl! Is this a 10,000-person rally? There are so many people, more than international superstar concerts! Fortunately, I was calm, otherwise I would have been scared to death! Fortunately, they were conscripted, otherwise so many people would have died in the pile!

Then I thought: Fortunately, I watched a movie about the Mo family defending the city, and I can help make trouble, otherwise, tens of thousands against hundreds of thousands, it will die in a few days. No matter how famous a general is, such as Zhao Yun or something, isn't it just a 10,000-strong formation? Besides, it's better to be fast than to be fenced and beaten, right?

Just as her mind was racing wildly, the charge began.

The first to be attacked was the Fuzhou Gate that Deng Yu was responsible for. Frontal enemy forces, bearing the brunt. According to Deng Yu's order, the sergeants waited for the enemy to erect the ladder and climb halfway to the ladder, and then attacked.

Due to the high walls of the city, the soldiers did not need to show their heads frequently, and the enemy's bows and arrows had no perspective, so the casualties were basically one-sided.

This kind of condescending defensive attack was a great deterrent to the enemy, and every time Chen Youliang's army was repulsed, it was necessary to recover the equipment, drag away the wounded soldiers, and then it would be a long time before they could regroup and charge again.

There were heavy casualties under the city, Ah Xiu couldn't stand it after watching it for a while, and ran to the corner for a while, although he had seen dead people before (the original Ah Xiu of this world), but there was no bloody scene at that time, this time the crying and the blurred appearance of flesh and blood completely scared Ah Xiu.

I'm going to go crazy if I go on like this! Ah Xiu thought, I have to find a way to hypnotize myself, this is a TV series, this is a TV series, this is a film and television city, it's all ketchup ketchup......

Charge after charge, attack after attack, all failed, and when it was dark, the attack stopped.

The first strategic briefing was carried out in the city, and our side lost eight dead and more than 20 wounded. Ah Xiu frowned when he heard this: In such a suppression war, more than 20 people were killed and injured, hey, war is really the best meat grinder.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Three days of attack, from dawn to dusk, continuous charge, continuous defense.

Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yuyi personally supervised the battle, ate and slept with the sergeants, and the morale of the soldiers in the city was very high.

During the three-day battle, 17 people were killed and more than 40 wounded inside the city, and Chen Youliang's army outside the city threw down more than 1,000 corpses and injured more than 2,000 people.

Ah Xiu numbed his nerves in three days, looked at the corpses piled up under the city, thought about the number just now, and estimated the casualties outside the city, Ah Xiu was stunned: According to this battle loss ratio, Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yu have done a very good job. I just don't know if I can continue to fight like this for a long time in the future!

On the fourth day, Chen Youliang couldn't hold his breath anymore and threatened his sergeants with military law to attack the city. The soldiers couldn't hold the bamboo shield and wooden shield, and destroyed the wall with the long Yue spear and the punch pillar in their hands, and finally opened a passage of more than ten zhang, Ah Xiu was in the city at this time, seeing a group of people rushing over from afar, Ah Xiu was stupid in place.

Commander Deng Yu happened to lead the fire team to arrive, seeing this scene, Deng Yu rushed up quickly to pull Ah Xiu aside, and shouted to the sergeants behind him: "Divide into three columns!" Alternate attacks! Put! ”

A row of gunfire went down, Ah Xiu was frightened, covered his ears, and when he looked at the enemy army again, a group of people had already fallen, a centurion in Chen Youliang's army, just transferred a group of archers, and the second row of guns rang out again.

Most of the archers were killed and wounded, and the remaining dozen or so were already in place. Ah Xiu had become extremely excited at this time due to the huge mental stimulation, and she stepped forward to grab a gun to use.

"Be careful!!" Ah Xiu heard a loud shout, and his body flew up and fell a few meters away. Zhu Wenzheng, who heard the sound and came to support, hurriedly ran up to help Ah Xiu, and Ah Xiu turned his head to see that it was Deng Yu who threw him out. And on the stake behind him just after he was standing, the arrow of a strong feather arrow had already been submerged in it, and only the shaft of the arrow was still trembling slightly!

Ah Xiu was terrified in his heart, if it wasn't for Deng Yue to pick himself away, the arrow would have been shot at him, although he was wearing silver silk leather armor on his body, but looking at this strength, it was inevitable that he would not be hit.

Deng Yu turned around and saw that Ah Xiu was fine, so he gave Zhu Wenzheng a look, asked him to take Ah Xiu to stand a little hidden, and then ordered the fire team to continue to shoot in turns.

Zhu Wenzheng nodded, pulled Ah Xiu to the corner, and then turned around and gave an order, and the fire gun team he brought was also at the back of the queue. The other large shieldman, half-crouched in front of the first column, wedged the lower end of the shield into the ground, covering the fire team behind it.

After more than a dozen rounds of gunning, Chen Youliang's forward shrank back, and when Deng Yu and Zhu Wenzheng saw this, they hurriedly ordered people to quickly pull in the wooden fence and plug the gap.

Chen Youliang saw a gap in the city wall from a distance, and was rejoicing, but he heard the continuous sound of firecrackers resounding to the sky, and then his sergeant withdrew.

Chen Youliang went crazy, and angrily asked people to go up to give orders, and those who retreated were beheaded. The sergeants could only rush forward and continue the attack.

Seeing this, Zhu Wenzheng was afraid that he would not be able to support it, so he asked someone to notify other Xue Xian, Niu Hailong, Li Jixian, and others who were temporarily idle to come to help, and ordered the Minfu battalion to repair the city wall.

After the arrangement, Zhu Wenzheng walked to Ah Xiu's side and persuaded her to go into the city to wait, Ah Xiu insisted on refusing, Zhu Wenzheng persuaded hard, Ah Xiu had a cold face: "What are you afraid of?" Your father and you are both battle-hardened generals, and I am your mother, am I afraid of death? Or is my life more precious than the sergeants?! ”

Ah Xiu said and pushed Zhu Wenzheng: "Don't say much!" At such a time of survival, don't think I'll take half a step back! Don't shy away from being like a woman! You go to fight your own battle, and your mother is watching you from afar! Just fight off the dog thieves, even if you are filial to protect me! ”

Zhu Wenzheng wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Ah Xiu was already really angry, he had to stomp his feet and whisper: "Mother! Wenzheng will definitely keep you safe! I went! Then he rushed to the front of the formation and continued to command.

The two sides launched a tug-of-war to the death at this time, Deng Yu commanded the big shield soldiers and round shield soldiers to advance the wooden fence inch by inch under the cover of the firecracker, and the firearm battalion continued to shoot in turn, and then some big shield soldiers and round shield soldiers protected the people who came to repair the wall.

Ah Xiu really couldn't describe this visual impact, she looked at the tools of the people, which were dozens of large wooden barrels, more than a dozen cauldrons and dozens of carts of clay and square bricks, Ah Xiu had the courage to lean over and look into the bucket, and couldn't help but step aside and vomit, it turned out that the bucket was slowly filled with blood, and it was bloody, it seemed to be sheep blood.

When Ah Xiu's bile came out, he looked up and saw that the short soldier who almost killed him last time was watching the people repair the wall, so he beckoned him to ask, only to know that it was indeed sheep blood.

Ah Xiu asked him to continue to work, and in the sound of fire, he found a hidden object, and watched the people build the wall, they poured the sheep's blood into the cauldron and boiled it, and then poured the clay into it and stirred it, and then used the mixture that came out of this way, the same mixture as cement slurry to glue the bricks.

The people were quick with their hands and feet, and Ah Xiu watched them sweating in the cool cold wind of late April, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart:

Thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of reassuring the people over the years, so many people are not afraid of danger and come to accept the preparation and repair of the city wall! What can I do if I am a guy like me, who has no prescient historical experience? It's just a rice worm!

This tragic tug-of-war between attack and defense lasted from near noon when the city was broken to dusk. There was no sign of a truce on either side, especially on the defenders, where all the sergeants were playing with their lives as if they had been beaten with blood.

The battle involved the most generals on both sides, Zhu Wenzheng on the defending side was wounded, Niu Hailong, Zhao Guowang, and Li Jiyuan were killed. Chen Youliang's four generals in charge of the siege were killed, the other two generals were seriously wounded, and three were slightly wounded.

There was only a brief ceasefire between the two sides, and then the fighting continued until the next morning. When the sun rose, the men and sergeants of the Minfu camp finally repaired the city wall, and Chen Youliang's army suffered heavy casualties and finally retreated. Zhu Wenzheng ordered the generals at all levels to count the casualties, but because the battle took too long, it took more than half a day to report the situation in the afternoon: 4,000 people were killed in the battle, more than 2,000 were seriously wounded, and the number of minor wounded could not be estimated.

Ah Xiu listened to the battle report, and his heart sank, and there were more than 6,000 casualties at once. The forces guarding the gates are even more overstretched.

Deng Yu happened to come in from outside, and the process of conscription was very smooth, not to mention the 30,000 people who were conscripted, and the people in the city donated thousands of catties of grain, and some women volunteered to come to the army to cook for the sergeants.

Zhu Wenzheng's right shoulder was wounded, and he motioned for him to sit down with his left hand, because the original generals who guarded each gate were killed in two, so he reassigned the guards of the other gates.

After the assignment was completed, Zhu Wenzheng sent off the generals and sergeants, and only Zhu Wenzheng, Deng Yu and A Xiu were left in the tent, Zhu Wenzheng looked at A Xiu and said: "When I was a child, I remembered that my mother knew divination, can you tell us a divination?" ”

Ah Xiu thought to herself: Divination, the old lady used to look at the notes and dance the gods, pretending to be a ghost, but now she calls me divination?! Forget it, just take the surviving Liuyao gossip diagram and calculate it, report the good news or not the bad news, and the right should inspire the army!

Thinking of this, Ah Xiu nodded, Deng Yu handed over three copper coins, Ah Xiu took the tea bowl and filled it, twisted up another tea bowl and put it together, took the six trigrams he was carrying, and began to hexagram.
