Chapter 243 Defeat of Yuanzhang
When Liu Bowen heard this, he was speechless: Although this Zhu Yuanzhang respects him, once the bull's temper comes up, it is useless to say more, it is better to be silent, at least, not to hurt the peace!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more proud: "Tomorrow, Xu Da, you attack the south gate, I attack the north gate, Chang Yuchun attacks the west gate, and the east gate is handed over to Lan Yu, let's try it, and strive to conquer this Chuzhou city tomorrow!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will definitely take Chuzhou City!" the generals smiled triumphantly.
Liu Bowen sighed, but Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and smiled: "I know that Mr. Berwyn is not good at tackling tough problems, and I don't like to watch fights, it is better to go tomorrow, Mr. Berwyn will urge the grain and grass!"
"Yes, haha, then, I will take care of the grain and grass these days, I promise, our transportation line will be unblocked, and everyone will be full every day!" Liu Bowen smiled.
Seeing Liu Bowen's expression, Xu Da suddenly became a little uneasy: What is this old gentleman thinking? It seems that he doesn't want to make meritorious contributions? Could it be that he wants to retire? In fact, he has long felt this, this old Taoist priest is ready to retreat at any time!
Thinking of this, his face suddenly changed, and his whole person trembled: In the future, what will be his end?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became unhappy: "What, Xu Da, are you afraid of the Yuan army?"
"Ah! No, if it will, haha, tomorrow I will try to capture the South Gate!" The tone between the words, Xu Da was a little unconfident: in the past few days, he has been beaten by the defenders of the Yuan army and is a little stunned.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he was even more unhappy, and he wanted to lecture him a few words, but after thinking about it: The big war is imminent, and he has suffered a loss for a few days, and it is inevitable that he will have emotions, but, as for it? Didn't the Yuan army want to run? Why did it suddenly have combat effectiveness again?
Thinking of this, he was also a little uneasy, but the military order is like a mountain, at this time, he can only persevere to the end!
In the early morning of the next day, early, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the meal to be served, and smiled: "Soldiers, we are full of food and drink today, let's go into Chuzhou, hehe, we want to capture the guards alive, slaughter the city, the women we get, everyone has a share, and everyone has a share of the silver, haha!" After speaking, he smiled proudly.
This is a clever plan he pondered for one night, so as to motivate the soldiers to go and fight!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the soldiers were all excited, and their eyes were almost bursting with fire!
Seeing this, the lord of Yingying County in the city sneered: "Soldiers, have you heard?
"Kill!" the Mongol soldiers shouted one by one!
Zhang Cuishan saw it: "I see that there is a lot of water in this river, arrows and rolling stones are limited, hehe, Yingying, you let the sergeants boil some hot water, which can replace rolling wood and stones!"
"Good idea, I'll try it later, but can Xianggong use his sword?"
Seeing this, Zhang Cuishan smiled, kissed her, and then said: "Girl, after all, this war is the business of the army, let's just ensure the safety of the girl! Yue'er, what do you think?"
"Han'er, what do you think? Do you want to make a move?" Li Xuanyue asked Xiao Han rhetorically.
Xiao Han sighed, and then said with a wry smile: "It seems that we shouldn't directly intervene in the war, right! If it really doesn't work, how about we protect the Yingying County Lord and lead the army to retreat?"
"Slippery head! Okay, whatever you want! Hehe, Xianggong, we can help resist it, hehe, there are still two days, let's talk about it, five days, let this girl go crazy for two more days! Mei'er, you are responsible for protecting the lord of Yingying! Ruolan and Yu'er, you can drink with Han'er! Sword God, when it's time to take out the sword, don't be stingy!" Li Xuanyue asked him.
Xiao Han smiled: "Yes, don't worry, Ancestor, we will protect your safety, hehe, isn't it just a small battle?
"Hehe, it's better to go to Sister Yue and Mei'er to cook wine and food together, let's go up to the city tower to see Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't he hit the north gate? Let's see him fighting!" Princess Taiping saw that she couldn't hide, so she took the initiative to ask.
Li Xuanyue was overjoyed and immediately went to cook wine and food with Lin Xuemei.
When Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming army was full of food and drink, he personally led the army to attack the city, this time, the lord of Yingying County personally greeted him, and sure enough, he boiled a lot of hot water, and when the Ming army set up a ladder and began to attack the city, when he wanted to climb the city tower, she ordered to pour hot water, dozens of pots of hot hands went down, and he saw that those soldiers were not dead, but they were so hot that they screamed one by one, and they were still shouting when they quit!
In just one stroke, the ambitions of those soldiers who wanted to make meritorious contributions were defeated!
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry, and immediately hit his horse up, thousands of soldiers immediately unfolded, and began to rush up again, and the rain of arrows also came!
At this time, Li Xuanyue and Lin Xuemei happened to come up with wine and food, and smiled: "Han'er, Taiping, don't you want to drink?
"Little thing, our Nine Xuan Dafa!" Xiao Han and Princess Taiping laughed.
After speaking, the two of them were in the air at once, and let out a long laugh: "Zhu Yuanzhang, you go away, it's better to withdraw the army, otherwise, you, more than 200,000 people, will be in Chuzhou, and you will never be able to go back!"
This time, they left room for it, and when the sword qi passed, the soldiers beat their chests one by one, and it took a while to recover their breath, and then they crawled back.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the same, only this time, he took a cup of tea before he got up and slowly retreated.
"Withdraw all the soldiers, we won't stop you from entering the city, but after three days, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" Princess Taiping's voice rang in his ears.
He sighed unconsciously, and then hurriedly ordered the herald to order the retreat, and the other three gates also stopped attacking and withdrew two miles!
When he returned to the camp, he sighed: "It turned out that they were defending the city, no wonder General Xu did not conquer the attack and suffered a big loss! We had to do what they wanted, alas, they are immortals! Alas, why did they help the Yuan army and not help us? Aren't they the ancestors of the good elders?"
"They didn't make a move a few days ago, maybe they saw that the emperor was leading the army, and they were afraid that the lord of Dayuan would suffer a loss, so they took out their swords!" Xu Da hurriedly explained, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would misunderstand those immortals.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and suddenly felt annoyed in his heart: Could it be that it was because of that night's incident? However, it is impossible, didn't they say that they would not rectify him? Alas, they all blamed themselves for being too anxious, why didn't they expect them to be in the city? No wonder Liu Bowen didn't show up?
Thinking of Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang's shadow appeared again, should you punish Li Shanchang in retaliation?
He immediately vetoed his stupid idea, this matter can only be diluted, and absolutely cannot be expanded, otherwise, I am afraid that this country will not be able to win, and I am afraid that the Ming army will also be divided! Besides, with these immortals, can Li Shanchang be moved?
Liu Bowen had already taken the grain and grass back to the camp, and when he saw it, he smiled: "Why did the emperor collect the troops? My grain and grass have been bagged, haha, we have at least enough grain and grass for seven days!"
"Mr. Bowen, did you already count those immortals in Chuzhou City? Why don't you remind me?" When Zhu Yuanzhang saw him, he immediately became angry, and he became angry directly at Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen smiled slightly, happy: "Your Majesty, I really don't know anything about this Chuzhou City, haha, I just heard that those immortals are in Chuzhou City! The reason why I said to delay the attack on Chizhou is that I think that since the people are resisting with all their might, they must be on guard, so I suggest not entering Chuzhou for the time being! Since they are here, why don't we do a favor and slowly enter Chuzhou, how about it?"
"Alas, that's all it takes! I didn't expect that people only have a sword, it seems to be just an understatement of the sword, and we can't bear it! Forget it, let's not talk about this, it's better for Mr. Berwyn to go to Chuzhou and tell them what we mean, what's the matter? We can't fight each other again, otherwise, I'm afraid that if people just use a sword, we will really be gone!" Thinking of the feeling just now, Zhu Yuanzhang already had palpitations.
Liu Bowen laughed: "Okay, then, I'll take a trip, the emperor is wise! This time, I'll just leave empty-handed, we don't need to bring any more generous gifts!"
"Ah, is it possible? Will they look down on Mr. Or will they think that we don't understand etiquette?" Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated: the latter is still important, after all, he is already the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Bowen smiled: "Your Majesty, the wealth of the Central Plains has been wiped out by them, what else can we do to pay respect?
"Ah, sir, are you crazy? At present, we have lost the battle, not to pursue while we have won! Forget it, forget it, sir, don't provoke them, at present, we can't afford to carry their fairy sword!" Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid: This is one more thing and one thing is inexplicable, it would be good to be able to take Chuzhou, it doesn't matter sooner or later.
After Liu Bowen laughed, he went to Chuzhou. After the accompanying soldiers shouted, the city gate opened, it seems that the other party is not afraid that the Ming army will take the opportunity to kill into the city, perhaps, they are more looking forward to Zhu Yuanzhang to kill it!
Xiao Han and Princess Taiping were drinking in the city tower, Li Xuanyue and the county lord Yingying naturally accompanied each other, and when they saw Liu Bowen, the county lord Yingying smiled: "Haha, isn't this the world-famous Liu Bowen? What is the important thing for you to come to our Chuzhou?"
"The first is to make friends and maintain a good relationship with your ancestors; the second is to ask, didn't Prince Xiaohan and Princess Taiping say that Dayuan would withdraw their troops? Why did they attack us from the beginning?" Liu Bowen looked confident.
As soon as he asked, Lord Yingying wanted to speak, but Li Xuanyue knew that she couldn't do it, so she stopped her, turned her eyes to Princess Taiping, and asked her to solve the problem.
Princess Taiping smiled, but stared at Liu Bowen for a while, until her scalp was numb and her face turned pale, so she smiled and asked Qingyu to pour him wine. After Liu Bowen drank the first glass of wine, she said coldly: "It doesn't seem that the surname Zhu is in this world, right? Why are you in such a hurry? We said that we would withdraw the army, not that we would withdraw today, we can withdraw when we want, let Zhu Xiaozi wait! What are you in a hurry? I think you are in arrears, for the sake of you being a scholar, let's spare you this time, and next time you dare to talk nonsense, at least twenty boards!" In the end, her eyes were like a sword.
Liu Bowen was speechless: People are willing to let the world is already a blessing for all the people, how dare they stipulate when they will withdraw their troops? Could it be that they are dizzy? Or are they too proud? Self-righteous!
He hurriedly poured his own wine and smiled: "The old ancestor is powerful, I can't say you, okay, okay, it's Berwyn's fault! So, may I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, when will you withdraw your troops?"
"Hehe, we originally wanted to withdraw in two days, but since you are impatient, then, we will withdraw in half a month!" Princess Taiping smiled.
