Chapter 144: Blue Jade's Determination
The city is close at hand, this is not a precipitous place, in the interior of the city, there are fearless Northern Yuan soldiers are waiting for the Ming army to attack their city, behind them, is the support of the Khitan and Jurchen two major ethnic groups, behind them, not only Khitan and Jurchen, but also there is a country called Goryeo, don't look at Goryeo dare not collide with the Ming Dynasty head-on, but it is inevitable to make some small moves.
"Goryeo everyone, we must work together to defend this city, the loss of this city means that our land is about to be invaded by the Ming Dynasty, I believe you don't want to see this happen, right? Once the land falls into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, what awaits us will be a hell of blood and grief, and it will be our unbearable pain! The Khitan envoy said, the Khitan and the Jurchen have sent their respective generals, just to help the remaining Mongolian soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to hold this land, in the interior of the city, there are many voices that surrender to the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent civil strife, the Khitan has done a strategy of killing chickens and monkeys, and some of the voices that have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty have been eliminated.
At this point, the people dare not be angry with the Khitan and Jurchen tribes, for fear of doing something wrong and being killed by the other party, the soldiers of these two ethnic groups are all murderous and unblinking, once they move, it is not at all that ordinary people can resist, you know, most of the ordinary people may be powerless people, how can they be compared with the formally trained army?
The soldiers from Goryeo did not send anything, they wore the clothes of the Khitan and Jurchen tribes, and did not dare to wear clothes belonging to their nation, for fear of being exposed to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, even the armor was provided by the Khitan and Jurchen two groups, and even many soldiers did not dare to speak, the language they mastered was Goryeo, not everyone understood this language, the Ming Dynasty easily recognized them as soldiers from Goryeo because of the accent and language, once recognized by the Ming Dynasty, I believe that Zhu Yuanzhang will be desperate, even if it is the price of blood, Let Goryeo also taste the bitterness.
In the military camp of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Sanbao ordered the siege of the city, and the order was issued, only to see the soldiers of Lanyu rushing to the city gate first, the city wall of this city is not as difficult to attack as the city wall guarded by the Tianyuan Emperor five years ago, the Northern Yuan soldiers on the city wall could not break through the iron armor array of the Ming Dynasty even if they shot arrows, and the shield held high blocked thousands of arrow feathers, and the city wall was hit hard by the round pier wood, making an unbearable sound, and the roar resounded throughout the city, and even the people inside the city felt a little panicked for a while, Don't dare to be affected by the Ming soldiers who are besieging the city.
In the city, the soldiers belonging to the Northern Yuan camp looked at the soldiers of the Three Clans Alliance, they were a little nervous, they didn't know if the Three Clans Alliance could really help them resist the attack from the Ming Dynasty, seeing that the city gate was about to be damaged, and the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were about to enter the city, they were all panicked, for fear that their efforts would be in vain, for fear that they would fall under the knife of the Ming Dynasty, they were not people who were not afraid of death, and many years of comfort were now broken by the sudden war, and they had to raise their weapons to resist.
There was a crack in the city gate, even the bolt could not resist the collision from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not leave any chance at all, and was not on the way to break the door all the time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty broke the city gate with all their might, and for a while, the scene in the city fell into the eyes of the Ming soldiers.
"Resist!" Under an order, the soldiers who had just knocked open the gate hurriedly protected the shield in their hands in front of them, and the catapult slowly drove under the city wall, causing a certain threat to the soldiers who put arrows and fire guns on the city wall, for a while, they did not dare to act rashly, for fear that the Ming Dynasty would use the catapult to smash the city wall, you know, the city wall is not indestructible, as long as the catapult is used properly, the city wall is easy to be broken by the catapult of the Ming Dynasty, and even the soldiers on the city wall will be killed, they are not fools, will not let Daming attack his city wall, nor will he let Daming take his life.
The city was broken, the Jurchen and Khitan soldiers were very calm to draw their bows and shoot arrows, not caring about the invasion of the Ming army, the Ming army was about to break through the city, but they did not panic at all, behind them, there were also things to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the same catapult, but different from the stones of the Ming Dynasty, their catapults were bound with gunpowder, the Jurchen and Khitan had long been ready to die and break the net, and caused heavy casualties to the Ming Dynasty at the cost of a city Wei, why not? They were willing to sacrifice their lives for this city, without regrets.
Seeing the powder keg, it was not only the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were alarmed, but also the soldiers who belonged to the Northern Yuan, the Khitan and Jurchen tribes had never mentioned the powder keg to them before, if the powder keg exploded in the city, most of them would be in danger of their lives.
"Oh no, they're going to die and the net is broken, even the powder keg is ready, it seems that we are fighting against the water!" Ma Sanbao gritted his teeth, five years ago, he and the Tianyuan Emperor couldn't compare to this battle, after all, at that time, the Tianyuan Emperor actually chose to escape, and now they are facing the Jurchen and Khitan clans who are not afraid of death, the preparation of these two races can be described as painstaking, and they have been preparing for many days, just in order to use such divine weapons to wipe out Ma Sanbao, Zhu Di and the army of the Ming Dynasty, behind the catapult, there are enough five powder kegs, don't look at the five powder kegs are not much, at the beginning, Da Ming also used the tactics of powder kegs, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers of the Northern Yuan.
"Damn! A powder keg was prepared! Before Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao could give orders, Lan Yu rushed into the city on a horse, holding a Ming magic weapon AK47 in Lan Yu's hand, "You guys are too grinding, real men shouldn't give them a chance, you, if you have been indecisive, the Khitan and Jurchen will have to throw out the powder keg, and you won't have time to cry when the time comes." Lan Yu left a sentence and rushed into the battlefield, his bullet aimed at the siege engine, and under the surprised gaze of the Jurchen and Khitan, he burst the powder keg on the catapult.
The powder keg exploded in an instant, and the allied forces of the two clans before they had time to dodge were blasted away by the firelight: "On the battlefield, the enemy's lives are worthless, you want to leave their lives, they also want to leave your lives, and whoever can fire will fire with me!" Lan Yu said, he was resolute and decisive, and did not regard the lives of the Khitan and Jurchen clans and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty as human lives at all, he was like a butcher who careless about human life, and every shot was a tragic death of the soul.
