Zhu Houzhao's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, all he thinks about is how to be a hero, those who don't know are fearless, he never thought about what would happen if he was hit by a stray arrow or a few slashes on his body, he only knew that it was very cool and exciting, and it looked majestic, nothing more.

But when the prince behaved so bravely, the morale of the Ming soldiers was inspired, and the three armies served their orders, and their performance was unstoppable.

The several areas occupied by the Tartars at the head of the city were quickly recaptured by the Ming army, and as the two Lu buses were poured with tung oil by the Ming army and began to burn, the remaining three Lu buses hurriedly withdrew from the city wall.

Relying only on simple flying ladders, the Tatar follow-up soldiers and horses could not kill the city at all, and the morale of the Ming army was great, and the Tatars saw that they could not take Xizhimen, so they had to choose to withdraw their troops.

Zhu Houzhao led the soldiers and horses to surround and kill the remnants of the Tartars on the head of the city, and those Tatars who did not have time to escape simply jumped from the city, fourteen or fifteen meters are equivalent to three or four stories high in later generations, basically a life, but there are a few who survived, but they will definitely not be able to participate in the future battles.

"Victory!"

"Fight off the Tartars!"

"Long live the emperor! Prince Chitose! ”

The cheers of the city wall resounded in the sky, and the battle turned defeat into victory, and the Ming soldiers were all rejoicing.

Zhu Houzhao experienced the achievement of being a general for the first time, and was immersed in excitement and excitement for a while, Zhang Yuan hurriedly ran over at this time, held Zhu Houzhao's arm and asked nervously: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you okay?" ”

"What can it be? Fuss...... Father-in-law Zhang, I won't pursue you for the crime of escaping from the battle, and accompany the palace to inspect the city defense! Zhu Houzhao said excitedly.

Zhang Yuan, don't mention how difficult it is!

The bear child is simply challenging cognition, making a fuss once or twice, now every day, with Zhang Yuan's "elderly" mentality, it is difficult to understand why the bear child is so keen on hot and exciting things, among so many people in the city, he belongs to the most frightened one, not only afraid of death, but also afraid that the prince will have an accident and affect himself.

Zhang Yuan said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's better to withdraw the city head earlier, or...... Go to the city tower to take shelter for a while? ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly straightened his face, glared at Zhang Yuan and said: "The palace finally led the soldiers and horses to recapture Xizhimen, why let the palace take refuge temporarily?" Now it's the Tartars who want to avoid the edge...... Gonggong Zhang, summon the Xizhimen to guard the future to the palace, and the palace is ready to lead the troops out of the city! ”

"No!"

Zhang Yuan was not ready to follow Zhu Houzhao's orders when he was killed this time.

The prince led the troops to kill the city, this is already very absurd, if you take the soldiers and horses out of the city again, it will be even more absurd, the prince himself is not a brave and warlike general, and even the horseback riding skills are not good, where is the qualification to lead the troops to kill?

Zhu Houzhao kicked Zhang Yuan angrily and scolded: "Go quickly!" ”

Zhang Yuan only took a few steps back, but he did not obey the order.

At this time, a guard stepped forward to play: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I just got an urgent report, the second wave of Diyi's soldiers and horses is about to arrive at Xizhimen, and it is expected that the war will rekindle in a quarter of an hour!" ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned when he heard this, and said to himself suspiciously: "Could it be that the dog Tartar doesn't know that this palace is here, and he actually dares to touch a stone with an egg?" Hmph, this time give them a painful lesson again, let them know how powerful this palace is! Mobilize your troops...... By the way, how many garrisons are there here in Xizhimen, all ready, this palace wants to see how capable the Tartars are, and dare to call a battle with this palace? ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, there are less than 10,000 troops stationed in Xizhimen, so you must not be in danger!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What do you mean less than 10,000? I don't believe it, the Tartars send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses every time, why do we only have a few thousand soldiers and horses stationed at a time? The population of my Ming Dynasty is a hundred times that of the Tartars, how can there be fewer soldiers and horses than the Tartars? ”

Although the bear child has learned some tactics of war, he is far from understanding the sophistication of human affairs, and is far less understanding than a "human spirit" like Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Although there are more than 100,000 defenders in the city, they have to garrison nine city gates respectively, and they have to take care of the city walls. The barbarians are different, they are flexible and flexible, and they can concentrate their forces wherever they want to attack, but our army does not dare to carelessly give up the garrison, so it naturally seems that the troops are stretched! ”

Zhang Yuan stepped forward to take Zhu Houzhao's hand and begged bitterly: "Your Highness, please take care of your own safety and hurry up to the city!" ”

Zhu Hou kicked open Zhang Yuan again, glaring angrily: "My affairs, don't bother Father-in-law Zhang to worry about it, immediately transfer troops from other places to reinforce Xizhimen!" ”

……

……

Xizhimen was previously attacked by several Mongol tribes, and although the number of troops was tens of thousands, each department intended to preserve its strength, and retreated after a slight setback. Batu Munk, who wanted to take the capital as soon as possible, saw that it was not a solution, so he immediately dispatched the Tatar Chinese army, led by Susuha himself, and led 30,000 elite Khan troops to attack Xizhimen.

"The prince of the Ming Dynasty actually personally led the troops to defend Xizhimen, even if I can't capture Xizhimen this time, but as long as the prince of the Ming Dynasty is captured alive or killed on the spot, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in turmoil, and our army can take the opportunity to cover up and kill, and it will inevitably achieve a big victory!"

Susuha gave a clear account to his generals before the war.

Xizhimen did not have to fight in one battle, but the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty had to be captured and killed in one fell swoop.

The war drums sounded, the wolf smoke was everywhere, the Tartar soldiers and horses came from afar, the flags were unfurled, almost to the point of covering the sky and the sun, the main force of the Dayan Department of 30,000 was used as the main siege soldiers and horses, but there were 20,000 tribal soldiers and horses on the flanks to respond, and the tribal soldiers and horses launched the siege first as usual.

"Ulala ......"

The Tatars formed a neat battle formation and gradually approached the city walls.

At the head of the city, seeing that the Tartars had entered the firing range, the Ming archers began to shoot arrows from the battlements of the city wall to the city, and the archers of the Tartars also fought against each other, bending their bows and arrows.

As the arrows fell, the Tartars and the Ming army on the city fell to the ground one after another.

Immediately a huge shield was erected at the battlement at the head of the city, and the arrows fired by the Tartars fell on the shields one after another. In front of the Tartar army array under the city, hundreds of huge shields were also erected. The giant shield continued to advance, covering the Tartar infantry to continue to advance.

The Ming army continued to shoot at the city from the battlements and the lookout at the city entrance, and the white arrows rained down, and batch after batch of Tartar archers fell in response, but these Tartars did not flinch and continued to shoot at the Ming army at the head of the city.

The arrows were like a storm, and people kept falling to the ground, and because the arrows were so dense, many of them collided in the air and then fell to the ground in unison.

At this time, the chariots used by the Tartars to cover the siege also came to the front of the battle, and this kind of chariot was built on a rectangular seat to build a wooden house of the same shape, covered with cowhide, and installed four wheels under it, in the shape of a movable bunker.

The Tartars connected the chariots to form a ground passage through which the Tartar infantry under the covering chariots continued to advance.

Under the cover of the chariots and Tartar archers, the Tartar soldiers and horses successfully passed through the previously built trench bridge, Zhu Houzhao saw this scene from the lookout on the city tower, and was angry in his heart, and asked: "Why do the Tartars have so many siege equipment, do we just watch the Tartars easily cross the moat?" ”

Zhang Yuan muttered in a low voice: "Aren't they all taken from our border army?" Otherwise, with the mind of a Tartar, he could make such a sharp weapon? ”

As the Tatar soldiers and horses crossed the moat, the large Lu bus and rushing car also slowly approached the city wall again, in addition, hundreds of various flying ladders were also carried by the Tatars to rush to the city.

"Ulala!"

The shouts of the Tatars were earth-shattering, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand when he heard it, feeling that the pressure on his shoulders was extremely huge.

The Tatar army was neatly arrayed, overwhelming, and the sense of persecution that the black pressure pressed on the city was too amazing, even if Zhu Houzhao was bold, at this time, he also felt that a heart was raised to his throat and eyes, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his legs and feet couldn't help trembling.

At this moment, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang hurried to the city.

Xie Qian slept in Andingmen for more than an hour, and as soon as he returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, he received an urgent report that Xizhimen was besieged by the Tartars, and even the prince went into battle in person, and the battle was inextricably solved.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were ordered by the emperor to accompany the crown prince to supervise the battle, and when they heard this situation, they dared to slack off, and hurriedly came to Xizhimen, only to learn on the way that Xizhimen was encouraged by the prince to go into battle himself, reversed the defeat, and pulled the capital back from the tragic situation of the city being ruined.

But at present, Zhu Houzhao is still stranded in Xizhimen, and the two have to hurry to persuade the prince to go down to the city, and when they are about to arrive at Xizhimen, they heard that the second round of Tatar attacks are coming again, this time it is the main force of the most elite Dayan Department in the Tatar army to attack the city, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian suddenly have big heads, and they are anxious to see the prince.
