Chapter 319: Just Three Days
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang dared to besiege the city was that he learned through intelligence that the generals who defended the city in Chuzhou and Dingyuan had personal contradictions.
In other words, if Dingyuan is in trouble, only Chuzhou has the strength to rescue, but the general defending the city in Chuzhou will not do this.
One is the matter of personal grievances, and the other is that Zhu Yuanzhang has arranged a lot of backup means for them, so that they are difficult to protect themselves, and they will not be rescued at all.
Besides, now that the world of the Yuan Court is already stormy, they are all too busy to take care of themselves, how can they still think about others?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that such an opportunity was also very rare, after all, all the attention of the Yuan Court was now on Liu Futong and their red turban army.
For a small force like Zhu Yuanzhang, the Yuan court can't take care of it now, because there are too many.
Moreover, Dingyuan is only a small place and does not have great strategic significance.
Because of these reasons, Zhu Yuanzhang dared to surround Dingyuan City.
Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to fight, it was very thoughtful, although Zhu Yuanzhang surrounded Dingyuan City, but it was not the same as surrounding.
Zhu Yuanzhang also sent troops to constantly harass these guards and soldiers in Dingyuan City.
Zhu Yuanzhang divided these rebel soldiers under his command into groups.
Basically, there are a lot of groups.
Each group consisted of four generals leading 5,000 men, and then harassed them at each gate.
Brothers from other groups eat, or rest.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang did this, he was waiting for work, so Zhu Yuanzhang and his soldiers were not tired.
In fact, if Zhu Yuanzhang let these rebel brothers attack, he would also be able to take Dingyuan City, but Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of losing too many rebel brothers, so he did not take such a approach.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's gadgets still have a lot.
This time, in order to increase the interference of the defenders of the Yuan Court, Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered people to make a lot of loudspeakers.
These are all built by Zhu Yuanzhang when he was bored, but Zhu Yuanzhang has never used them before, and this time Zhu Yuanzhang used them for the first time.
After all, such a thing, in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, he is also a pediatrician, and it is not worthy of praise.
Or so to put it this way! Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be a little unauthentic in doing this.
But Zhu Yuanzhang himself still thinks very openly about such things, that is, it is not too much to do anything to the enemy.
All in all, victory.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how many people died when he attacked Dingyuan and Chuzhou in history.
But one thing is certain, and that is to say, there must have been a lot of death, otherwise it would have been impossible to take these cities.
Zhu Yuanzhang also told these generals under him many new methods this time.
The defenders here in Dingyuan City, they have cannons, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid at all, he let these rebel soldiers dig a lot of trenches.
The trenches were very deep, and the distribution of these rebel soldiers was very scattered, and these trenches were outside the range of the artillery.
There are also these cannons of the Yuan Court, which are not very powerful artillery, so Zhu Yuanzhang's methods are really restrained to death for the Yuan Court.
Zhu Yuanzhang's plan is to take Dingyuan City within three days.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang said that it would be within three days, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang thought so, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang would launch a sudden general attack in the evening or evening of the third day.
In this way, you can take Dingyuan City in one fell swoop.
Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, he also wanted to protect Dingyuan City to the greatest extent, after all, this place will be Zhu Yuanzhang's base for a long time in the future.
For his property, Zhu Yuanzhang cherishes it very much.
Zhu Yuanzhang already has a lot of experience in military books and war strategies, so Zhu Yuanzhang has made so many changes.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang has fully understood the essence of the war strategy, Zhu Yuanzhang can act in different ways according to the specific situation.
Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements, it can be said that although many people have doubts in their hearts, they did not say it.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had just trained them in military discipline, and one of them was to prohibit it.
It is not permissible to pick and choose from the military orders that have already been promulgated and to disobey them, and once the orders are issued, they must be carried out to the letter.
In fact, there is no need to say such a thing, after all, this is the case, but Zhu Yuanzhang must explain it clearly.
Zhu Yuanzhang knows very well that there are very few brothers in the righteous army who can read and hyphenate words, so Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to explain these very clearly.
Since then, everyone has implemented it, and it is very clear to remember.
And Zhu Yuanzhang said first, what kind of benefits will there be if he complies with it, and what kind of punishment will there be if he violates it.
Everything is so organized, so the troops under Zhu Yuanzhang now are really very powerful in combat.
Zhu Yuanzhang led the remaining rebel soldiers to wait in the barracks, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang would let his generals carry out such a siege.
Because everyone's specialties are different, for Zhu Yuanzhang, what he has to do is to strategize and coordinate the relationship between these generals, which is what Zhu Yuanzhang should consider.
Since Li Shanchang managed these logistics things, Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot less chores, so Zhu Yuanzhang can have very much time to think about the most critical things.
Especially when Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shanchang to prepare those strange things that he remembered, such as those big speakers, Li Shanchang always provided Zhu Yuanzhang with a lot of good ideas.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about these things, he didn't know the specific structure very clearly, if it weren't for Li Shanchang, many things Zhu Yuanzhang would have taken a long time.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not go to the siege, in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, he was more tired than those generals who went to siege the city.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to deduce these things in his heart before these things happen.
Such a process is very complicated, but Zhu Yuanzhang is tired of it.
In this way, under Zhu Yuanzhang's careful arrangement, two days have passed, and these rebel brothers of Zhu Yuanzhang have always been at their peak by taking turns to eat and rest.
But the Yuan court troops defending the city in Dingyuan City could not eat or rest.
Therefore, the soldiers and generals who defended the city were on the verge of collapse.
For these changes, Zhu Yuanzhang will let people inquire about them at any time, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang does not dare to ignore such a thing.
After all, if the spirit of these guards collapses, then if Zhu Yuanzhang and them attack again, the resistance they encounter will really be much smaller.
For such a thing, everything was carried out according to Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.
Looking at the news sent by Tanma, Zhu Yuanzhang was adjusting his plans at any time.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang can only achieve his goal if he does this.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was really bored in the barracks, so he wanted to see how these generals implemented his military orders.
In fact, some of Zhu Yuanzhang's military orders have room for free play.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is also very clear that these situations on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and if Zhu Yuanzhang does not give these generals room to play independently, something big will happen.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still far away from the trenches they were attacking, but Zhu Yuanzhang heard something that made him laugh.
"Brothers of the Yuan Court, don't be stubborn and resist, surrender! You see we're eating meat, we're drinking, it's so delicious! This wine is so delicious! ”
The soldiers and generals of the Yuan court at the head of the city had not slept well for two days and two nights.
After all, the power of these loudspeakers is really too great, and these generals under Zhu Yuanzhang will sometimes really attack the city.
Of course, it was all at night, and there were a few times when they almost attacked, but there were no losses to the rebel soldiers, only some people were injured, because the rebel brothers who attacked the city were really wearing too much.
These are all to protect these rebel brothers, after all, this is to implement Zhu Yuanzhang's military orders.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he really admired it, this person is really talented!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang heard that some of what was said was good, such as drinking wine, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was the so-called soldier's tirelessness.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have to take it seriously, because Zhu Yuanzhang understood very well that this was all disintegrating the will of these Yuan court generals and soldiers who were defending the city.
After all, at any time, it is the heart first, if Zhu Yuanzhang does not understand this, those military books and war strategies Zhu Yuanzhang will read in vain.
Zhu Yuanzhang changed another city gate, and this Dingyuan City has four city gates.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go and see what was going on at the other city gate.
Maybe it's because of the words Zhu Yuanzhang just heard, so Zhu Yuanzhang is still looking forward to the other city gates.
Soon Zhu Yuanzhang was behind those trenches near the other city gate.
"Don't sleep! If you sleep, we'll be attacking right away!" Did you hear that? ”
"Brothers of the Yuan Court, don't sleep! If you're asleep, that's really bad! We're on the offensive right away! ”
In this way, they said it many times, and at the beginning, the soldiers guarding the city were still very attentive and did not dare to sleep at all, but after a long time, it completely changed.
After all, there are too many such words, think about it, you keep listening to the same sentence, how would you feel in that situation?
It can be said that it was really unpleasant, and gradually it became numb.
In the end, no matter how much they shouted, the soldiers of the Yuan Court no longer had a chance, because they really had no energy, and they all fell asleep.
The general in charge of the siege of this city gate was Zhang Long, and he was also replaced.
For such an opportunity, Zhang Long would not miss it, so Zhang Long ordered the siege of the city.
Zhu Yuanzhang watched this scene from a distance, and saw that these rebel brothers were very skillful in using the flying boats that Zhu Yuanzhang prepared for them.
He crossed the moat and climbed the city wall with a rope.
Everything is so skilled, and Zhu Yuanzhang also admires such things very much.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he did such a thing by himself, he might not be so smooth.
But Zhang Long commanded these rebel brothers led by him to do it to such an extent.
Zhu Yuanzhang only saw this scene, he didn't see the scene of how their rebel brothers practiced hard.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was midnight the next day, and it would be the early morning of the third day.
In just three days, this Dingyuan city was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang and their emerging rebel army.
And Zhu Yuanzhang also created a miracle, that is, basically no rebel brothers died.
And in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, these generals under him are all talents!
Each has its own means and gives full play to its own strengths, and Zhu Yuanzhang feels as if this is a game, not a war.
For such an illusion, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that maybe he was too tired!
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang has to think about the overall situation, so Zhu Yuanzhang is very tired, for this, that is a fact.
After taking Dingyuan City, Zhu Yuanzhang led these rebel brothers into Dingyuan City, and Zhu Yuanzhang treated those guards and soldiers of the Yuan Court separately.
As long as they are Han Chinese, as long as they abandon the dark and turn to the light, Zhu Yuanzhang will not blame the past, of course, Zhu Yuanzhang has already strengthened ideological education for them.
After all, such a thing, it is a very natural thing, if Zhu Yuanzhang does not do it, it is an abnormal thing.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang received another news, which was about his wife Ma Xiuying.
His wife had already given birth to a son.
Hearing such news, Zhu Yuanzhang was really happy, this is double happiness!
Dingyuan City was taken here, and the child was born there, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this staff had successfully achieved the set goal, so Zhu Yuanzhang named his first son Zhu Biao.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was really excited in his heart, of course, at this time, his wife and children still couldn't come to Dingyuan City immediately, after all, this place still needs to be consolidated.
Zhu Yuanzhang found that Li Shanchang was still very good at Anmin and sorting out these chores in the city.
Zhu Yuanzhang then handed over all these things to Li Shanchang to deal with, and he happened to be idle.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is now like an arrow, he wants to see his wife Ma Xiuying and child Zhu Biao, so after Zhu Yuanzhang made full arrangements, he immediately left.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's feeling was really strange, he actually had a child, he had never felt like this.
